When Liu Bang, the ancestor of the Han Dynasty, stipulated that all Han people over 15 years old and under 56 years old, regardless of gender, must pay a poll tax to the government, and each person has an annual tax of 120 copper coins, which is calculated.

In order to stimulate women to marry and give birth at an early age, it is stipulated that women must marry at the age of 15, contributing to the birth of children in the Han Dynasty. If you do not marry by the legal age of 15, you will be punished by heavy taxes.

In 189 BC, Emperor Hui of the Han Dynasty decreed: Women over the age of fifteen to thirty do not marry, five counted.

You must know that at that time, 5 times the tax of 600 yuan was not a small amount. At that time, the price of grain was 100 yuan a stone, 120 catties per stone, and 600 yuan was 720 catties of grain, which was equal to the annual ration of adults. The key is that this "single tax" is still the same as the poll tax once a year, until the end of singleness, which is simply a weapon to eliminate "leftover women".

Undoubtedly, this is a strange and barbaric policy, which not only increases the financial burden of families with girls, but also increases the psychological burden of women. This policy exposed that the feudal rulers completely regarded women as the state's reproductive machine, and the woman's belly as a tool of state production, which was extremely inhumane.

Now the boss of the Southeast Mansion, Yan, also came inhumane once, the retro system, the unmarried girl between the ages of 20 and 30 is counted as five, which is also the first poll tax to be collected in the Southeast Mansion.

Young women in the southeast province are basically married before the age of 20, and the baby boom begins the following year.

Yan Changwu tied the people of the Southeast Mansion to his chariot like this, and rolled forward!

The colorful flags on the pier were displayed, the atmosphere was coaxing, and there was no sadness of separation, but a head full of achievements.

3,000 immigrants go south by boat!

Originally, it was planned to be 1,000, but I found that there was more capacity and more people signed up, so it was 3,000 people.

They were all young men and women, 2,000 men and 1,000 women, and they were on five large transports, equivalent to a third-class battleship, which could transport 600 people, and they were escorted by two third-class battleships, two fifth-class cruisers, six sixth-class cruisers, and four Yaksha-class transports equivalent to fifth-class cruisers.

In addition, more than 20 private merchant ships heading south also followed!

Not only the government organizations, but also various families sent their clansmen to Java to make a fortune.

The southeastern government was encouraging, stating that for every person who came, it would give a subsidy of ten silver dollars, and there would be a reward for many people.

Although this trip is far away, there are many ruthless people from Fujian Province, Guangdong Province, Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and they are flocking here!

People climbed onto the deck, a naval band played, family and friends waved their arms and cheered, and people on deck huddled together, shouting goodbye to the shore.

They are full of confidence, because their boss has arranged it properly, and personally sees them off, worships Mazu, and wishes this trip a smooth sail!

……

Back in the cockpit, they slept in hammocks, which they were not used to at first, but the young people were adaptable and were able to fall asleep soon after.

Gradually, after the ships had abandoned ship and carried out firefighting training and study, people's emotions calmed down significantly, and they realized that there was danger in this trip.

But in fact, the voyage was very smooth, they drove south, through the Bass Strait, the Balintang Strait, all the way to the archipelago are populated, some of the big islands are still flying the flag of the southeast province, and then to Luzon, the northern port city of "Pacharen" port has the southeast province construction workers busy building all kinds of facilities there.

They were supplied there, fed well, and even organized to go ashore for half a day.

After that, they sailed along the coast of Luzon, stopping at long intervals to replenish supplies, and then went south to the "Baque" area on the island of Depawang and then went south to the Kalimantan Peninsula, where there were many small tribes, and the southeastern fleet was happy that it was still able to get supplies along the way----- the "armed parade" along the Kalimantan Peninsula after the defeat of Batavia still frightened many people, and they gave convenience to the southeastern province, which was both a threat and a bribe.

After sparing the western part of the Kalimantan Peninsula, it went down to Pontianak, where there was a small garrison of the southeastern province, and it was there that two ships of about 500 men came down and prepared to take root in Pontianak.

After Pontianak, or down, then reach Belitung Island, and then down, reach Java, it takes more than two months to complete this voyage!

On the whole, the main thing is that there is a guarantee on the way, so that it is quite smooth, and no one dies of illness on the sea, which can be called blessed by Mazu!

The young people disembarked and walked on the unfamiliar land with their heads held high, and were warmly welcomed by the local government!

Since then, the southeastern province has been immigrating to Java in a step-by-step manner.

Under the governance of Yan Changwu, the general trend of the Southeast Mansion acted according to his baton, and the military and the people were extremely supportive of his grand strategy, and the military heart was like steel, and the people's heart was like iron!

In the foreign war, he defeated the Dutch, the strongest force in Asia, ---- the Dutch, forced the Spaniards to sign an unequal treaty, and went to Macau to blackmail the Portuguese, under the pretext that the Portuguese helped the Dutch.

What did you get?

The Southeast Fleet moved the "Bugarao Cannon Foundry" in Macao back to the Southeast Mansion!

This cannon factory is very famous, in 1557 A.D. is the 36th year of Jiajing of the Ming Dynasty, the Portuguese cannon casting expert Peter Bugarao opened a cannon factory in the end of the Guia Mountain in Macau at the end of the Zhuzai Village, with Bu Garao as the manager.

Most of the copper needed by the foundry was purchased from Japan, while iron ore and sulfur were sourced locally from the area near Macao. The cannons produced are divided into two kinds: iron cannons and copper cannons, iron cannons originated from Chinese workers, and copper cannons were created by the Portuguese. The copper cannon has a long range and is durable, and during the British and French wars, the famous British general Clinton used the copper cannon produced by the factory to show its power in the Battle of the Peninsula. By the 20s of the 17th century, the factory had developed into a cannon foundry of considerable size, producing not only cannons, but also shells, gunpowder, and even bronze bells.

After the Ming Dynasty government learned about it, it sent people to Macao many times to buy cannons. In 1624, the fourth year of the Ming Dynasty, the Ming people bought 4 cannons, and in 1629, they bought 10 cannons, and Emperor Chongzhen also gave the Macao cannons placed on the city gate of Beijing the name "Shenwei General".

Following the Spaniards, the Portuguese succumbed in front of more than 40 southeastern warships and surrendered the artillery factory, so as to get the southeast army not to attack and ensure the safety of Macao.

The technical strength and equipment of the artillery factory have been obtained, so that the artillery-making technology of the southeast province has been greatly enhanced, and the "scientific research" has finally taken shape.

Yan Changwu advocated that in the case of control, it was better to leave some leeway for Hongmaofan, he robbed someone's artillery factory here, and placed an order with the Portuguese over there, renting them ten ships to transport supplies to Java!

Military training, army construction, economic construction, childbirth and serving the country, immigration and other affairs are all smooth sailing, smooth and smooth, Yan Dashao's life is very high, too smooth, God can't see it, give him some color.

Mainland news came: Sun Tingzong, the emperor and supervisor on the Ningyuan front, resigned, Zhang Fengyi took his place, and the guy surnamed Zhang had a tooth mark with Sun Tingzong, and Sun Tingzong's defense against capture was overturned and restarted, and the Southeast Army troops on the Ningyuan front line were in a difficult situation!
