The climate and geography of the South Seas are very suitable for the growth of rice, coupled with the advanced planting technology brought by the Han people, which soon turned the wild Luzon into a new granary. Although its size is still small, because the population base is there.

However, it is also true that the grain produced in Luzon has begun to feed back to the Central Plains.

Not to mention that cash crops such as sugarcane and abaga have also begun to produce this year. Luzon's cane sugar has been sold well in Nanyang, and even exported to Tianzhu and other places. Abaca is mainly supplied to all parts of the sailor, its fiber is slender, tough, lightweight, soaked in seawater and not perishable, is a high-quality raw material for fishing nets and boat cables, can also be woven mats and carpets, and even a high-quality linen raw material.

The wealthy families who set up estates in Luzon Land have made very good returns in recent years (compared with investment), and their comprehensive returns are more profitable than those of Zhuangzi in Jiangnan.

After all, although the slave market in the Central Plains was extensive, there were often more monks and less porridge, and the price of slaves was too small, not to mention.

Where did the leaps and bounds come from without enough cheap labor, without sweatshops?

But now, for the people of Luzon, their good life is facing a huge challenge, and it is precisely because of this that Zhao Mao, as a merchant, will make people collect news everywhere, trying to figure out the meaning of the imperial court.

As one of the first people to take the initiative to immigrate to Luzon, Zhao Mao, who is also the son of the Zhao family, has sufficient capital to become big in Luzon. Just the name of a clan surnamed Zhao can make his loan amount ten times more than that of ordinary people.

In just a few years, his family's industry has expanded dozens of times. From the early shops, to the later ocean-going slave trade, and then to the warehouses and plantations, compared to the Chinese family in Yingtian back then, the current Zhao Mao family can be described as upside down.

Now he has five shops and two warehouses under his name, and by virtue of the slave trade, he has accumulated hundreds of thousands of pieces of furniture in just ten years, and bought a large area of land in central Luzon, and built his own estate, which is a large estate with tens of thousands of acres of fertile land and hundreds of slaves.

It is true that there are still a lot of foreign debts that have not been repaid, but who dares to say that he is "poor"?

That's why he really cares about the king.

While making people inquire about the news in the market, he also found his former cousin Zhao Rong several times. As the distant branch of the Great Song Dynasty, Zhao Rong chose a completely different path from Zhao Mao. Now he is an official in Hangzhou Mansion, although he is only an eight-grade record to join the army, but the official is an official, and the source is very different from Zhao Mao.

"So, the imperial court is bound to be sealed in Luzon?"

Facing the news brought by his cousin, Zhao Mao's heart chuckled.

"It's inevitable." In Zhao Rong's heart, wantonly dividing the clan into Nanyang is already a national policy.

Whether it is to settle the clan or consolidate the Zhao family's Jiangshan Sheji, this strategy is excellent.

As a lower-level official, Zhao Rong is well aware of how great the impact of a "migration law" has on the people.

Shaving the poor and the poor and stabilizing the interior is only one of them, forcing the people of the world to turn around, and forcing everyone to be diligent, is more important.

In the past, only what Zhao Rong saw, there were many farmers in the countryside outside Hangzhou who stayed at home during the slack season, leisurely and happy all day long. Even because the taxes of the imperial court have been reduced in recent years, everyone has three or five spare money in their hands, so they set up a stall and play a game with five drinks and six drinks.

The imperial court does not advocate gambling now, and the du stalls in the city are all subject to heavy taxes.

But it's hard for you to clean up the countryside completely, right?

After these peasants had food and drink, they couldn't see the laws of the imperial court.

That is, when there is a lack of food and clothing, the emperor thinks of everything, thinks of the imperial court, and honestly goes to the construction site to work and earn wages.

When your stomach is full, everything changes.

They will still be grateful to the emperor in their hearts, but this does not match their violation of the laws of the imperial court.

But now what about this "migration method"? It's like having a catfish in the bathtub. In the countryside villages, it is difficult to see a large number of idlers chatting and playing leisurely.

Wouldn't it be nice to have that time to earn more wages? As a result, the price of labor in Hangzhou is declining.

Hundreds of people must work hard for their own destiny, and even more so for the fate of their children and grandchildren.

Even this decree had the added effect of being hilarious - it greatly contributed to the separation of many large families.

Whether it is the Central Plains or Lingnan, there are dozens of people in the countryside of the Great Song Dynasty, or even hundreds of people, many families are three generations of grandparents and grandchildren, don't look at some people's sons go out and do not return home for three or five years, but when you check the household registration, it is still a family.

Parents are not separated from each other, this is a well-known social rule. Originally, there were also Zhao and Song Dynasty courts exploiting them in different ways, except for some rich and powerful families, ordinary people could not afford to raise too many children. But now, in the Great Song Dynasty under the rule of Zhao Gou, the burden on the people has been greatly reduced after the tax reform, and the motivation to have sons and daughters has naturally risen. In the current citizen's house, there are not too many small dolls that are not as tall as their thighs.

In a word, in today's Great Song Dynasty, the children of ordinary people have moved from three or two to four or five grades, and there will be more in the future.

The cost of children is small, and for the people of the Great Song Dynasty today, they can still be wrapped to feed them. But what about twenty per capita? These little dolls are terrible.

So some big families are falling apart because there are people who don't want to put themselves in danger. This can even be a banner raised against 'parental filial piety'.

Any parent who does not agree to separate the family and does not let the capable child go ashore first will be regarded as "old fool" or even "unkind" by the surrounding neighbors.

One family has become many small families, and the cohesion of the clan is weakening, which is obviously beneficial to the rule of the imperial court.

If the immigration law can achieve such a good effect, how can the imperial court abandon it? And so many immigrants migrated overseas for thousands or tens of thousands of miles, and the imperial court was beyond the reach of the whip, and there was only one way out of the feudal king Yongzhen.

Zhao Mao was not surprised by this, and he didn't care about this, "Then does Luzon also use "New Law" in the feudal country?" ”

He really doesn't care how many vassal kings the Zhao official family of the Great Song Dynasty will be crowned in the future, and what will happen to the sons of the Emperor Taishang in the future, the only thing he cares about is whether the "New Law" will be practiced in Luzon.

If the vassal king took the new law of the Great Song Dynasty and collected the tax, it would really hurt to cut the flesh with a knife. But Zhao Mao was afraid that the vassal king would learn from a few of his uncles and directly use a knife to remove the arms and thighs of the "people", which would be even more fatal.

Now, whether it is King Wu, King Chen, or King Xu, they all take white strips as money and exchange 'future' for the present. Some people are willing to take it, but there are also people who see it as oppression.

Zhao Mao is obviously one of them!

Zhao Rong took a breath, how could he know. There's no definite word on who is a loser.
