"Whatever the foreigners say, won't you go in and search?"

"Uncle, we don't dare, we provoke Lord Yang, it will be a slaughter of the city, we are afraid."

"You're afraid of them, not us, hehe, are foreigners so powerful."

"I just ask the uncle to let go of the little ones, we are willing to go bankrupt and compensate that Uncle Li, we are wrong."

"Understood, you don't dare to do it, huh."

"Uncle, those foreign adults from Tianzhu have great mana, and when they do it one by one, their bodies are like cookies and steep, this is great mana."

Don't look at the Presbyterian Council has been stationed in the north, but for the Zheng group in Fujian, the concern has never relaxed, and it has also spent huge resources on espionage, and even just took the imperial capital, when the old city was renovated, for the Fujian Beijing Office, that is, the Fujian Guild Hall, the institution has carried out considerable infiltration, installed all kinds of equipment, and in the first year of the republic, Wang Jian has begun to arrange a large number of fine works to go south into Fujian and Liangguang and other places, and began to collect intelligence there.

It was because considering that the Zheng group was unwilling to surrender to the Council of Elders, other forces, using their sea superiority, to oppose the Council of Elders.

Now although Zheng Zhilong has lost his sincerity to the imperial capital, he secretly hooked up with several Nanming princes, which was actually in the information of the Presbyterian Council, but he just pretended not to know, since Zheng Zhilong rejected a book of thousands of profits and invited Zheng Zhilong to participate in the business of the shareholder Indian company, the only opportunity in history to enter the central enterprise, let Zheng Zhilong give up, the process of history is moving forward.

Therefore, after learning the news of the instability in Fujian, Li Xiangqian did not dare to rest for a moment, and immediately arranged the affairs in the north, and then left the imperial capital with a team of troops numbering only 100 people, and went straight to the south by boat.

After leaving Tianjin, along the coastline all the way south, you can see that the number of sea ships has begun to increase, the trade routes between the north and the south have gradually stabilized, and before the next riot, the south still has a certain technological leading ability.

After the imperial capital carried out several all-round crackdowns, the safety of shipping on the sea route could basically be guaranteed.

In addition, along the abandoned shore, business-minded officials from all over the country are also trying to find a way to do business on the sea, and everyone knows that transporting a new ship of new goods from the imperial capital will be worth the investment of the previous three years.

In this way, in just six years, the sea has been busy, and you can see that the sea ships from the south to the north are connected end to end, and they are full of goods to make money, and a large number of material resources are continuously transported to the destination, and even some lackeys raised by the Donglin Party have also seen business opportunities from it, and they have begun to hire ships to sell some materials from the south to the north in order to make profits, and at the same time they are muttering that if the elders will allow them to become human beings for generations, then they really have no objection to serving the imperial capital.

Although over the years, the elders have exterminated some inferior gentry, and even raided their homes and destroyed many people, but for Confucianism, as long as he is not killed, then it is no problem to kneel down and shout long live.

The Council of Elders really didn't think that it would wipe out the rich businessmen and landlords in the world, it was nothing more than the automatic elimination of some fools, and smart people would naturally lean over when they saw the opportunity to make a fortune in the imperial capital.

The prosperity of a country cannot be achieved by the small peasant economy alone, and industry and commerce play a vital role in the prosperity of the country, so that the presbyterian council is only forty or fifty people with military backgrounds, and more than 200 people devote their energy to the initial industrial upgrading.

They have robbed a lot of businessmen, but basically they are bureaucratic capital that relies on monopoly positions to seize and seize money, and the small and medium-sized businesses they support may have such and such shortcomings, but the heart to make a fortune and struggle is still there. There is no guilt in the elders when they rob those big merchants, and behind the big merchants in this era, there are even a group of dignitaries and nobles, whose wealth accumulation can be said to have been completed through criminal means, and these small businessmen, before they grow into imperialist models, can still be used.

For small traders and hawkers, the Presbyterian Church still gives protection as much as possible, and tries to give some support, so that the commercial capacity can be restored faster, and the industrial factories will spread faster.

And this era must not underestimate the ability of these small merchants and hawkers, some of them can often seize the opportunity, quickly get the first pot of gold to grow, these people's ability should not be underestimated, they can increase the flow of materials in various places, so that the imperial capital goods all over the world, and through their operation, the simplest factories and farms are also driven at the same time, and the large-scale unemployment caused by agriculture has also made more and more people who take refuge in the presbyterian church and voluntarily emigrate overseas.

The production efficiency of the nail and sewing needle workshops under the steel factory is enough to wipe out all the small blacksmiths and unemployed blacksmiths in the commercial area, either die to rebel, or defect to the Presbyterian Council to emigrate, and if you are lucky, you can go to the city to work, and you will not be left to chance.

On the one hand, the confiscated land of Confucianism and Huangzhuang was used to get rid of the moths on the Chinese nation, so that these lands were in the hands of the central enterprises of the Presbyterian Church, and many lands were not handed over to ordinary people to become farmland, but became farms, and the level of meat eaten by the masses was not possible to reach the level of the 21st century, but it was also close to the level of the people of England in the Victorian period.

In addition to winning the hearts and minds of the people, it also created a large number of landless peasants, so that they had to emigrate overseas and re-settle down, laying a good foundation for the next step of the Chinese nation's cultivation of the world, and at the same time, at the same time, the people who suffered from natural disasters and wars and malnutrition in various places can finally slowly obtain nutritional supplements and recover quickly.

Especially after controlling half of Shandong and the whole of Henan, it can be seen in these three or four years that although the climatic impact of the Xiaoice River period still exists, there will still be drought or waterlogging from time to time, but with the food support of the Presbyterian Church, a large area of abandoned land is directly abandoned, and the life of a family of a few acres of land is really unbearable, and the immigrants are quickly transported to the newly occupied land through various means of transportation, plus the promotion and planting of high-yield sweet potatoes and high-yield drought-tolerant corn. The farms have been disseminated, and the food produced not only meets the needs of the people, but also makes it easier for the people with improved tastes to eat meat.

Of course, the area of Nanzhili in the south of the Yangtze River is also quite rich, and the grain output is not low, as long as the society settles down a little, the peasants who are diligent to the extreme in China will immediately glow with huge productivity, and they will spontaneously and quickly devote themselves to their farmland, but many bureaucrats in the Southern Ming Dynasty just can't do this, and finally started the War of the Five Kings under internal and external troubles. had to go bankrupt and die.

Zhejiang and other places were originally the richest places in China, and the disasters suffered by the war were much less than those of Henan, Huguang and the northern provinces, and the damage caused by the war disasters to this area was suppressed to the lowest level, so there was no recovery at all, as long as the local people produced normally, there would not be too many problems.

However, due to the economic policies of the Presbyterian Church, there was a great economic shift between the north and the south, and the original fist products of the south, grain, were subjected to a price war, and even relied on sea ships to set off a major counteroffensive to conquer the city, not to mention the products of the glass factory, and also drove a few glass products of foreigners out of the Chinese market.

Therefore, Li Xiangqian repaired for a day at the mouth of the Yangtze River, although he was in a hurry, but it could be seen that with Zhang Xianzhong's continuous attack, although the troops were gradually dispersed, the five Ming monarchs were turning around, and at the same time, the elders' foreign immigration work was also carried out frantically.

With the prestige of the military power of the imperial capital, as well as the reputation of the products of the imperial capital, at least in the lowest level of the people, the reputation of the imperial capital presbyterian council is at least positive, and the elders of the presbyterian council are also rumored to have the ability to go to heaven and earth, and they themselves do not believe in the bizarre, and the legend of the imperial capital to all kinds of people living and working in peace and contentment has also begun to gradually spread in the mouths of those merchants, which is beyond the imagination of those Confucian scholars who have always mastered public opinion.

Therefore, there are still quite a few big families, and even send people to the imperial capital to mourn Emperor Chongzhen, and take the opportunity to build a relationship with the family and bureaucrats, at this stage, they have unrealistic fantasies about the elders in the imperial capital, thinking that they only need to say a few nice words and send a few women, these elders who don't read the Four Books and the Five Classics still don't obediently give them people who read poetry and books as little brothers, and send troops to quell the chaos?

For some people, no matter how much you give him benefits and help, he will only have hatred and anger towards you, because he thinks that all your things are his, even you should be his slave, and the more you give, the greater this anger, which is why, in the new time and space of the 21st century, Chinese will generally encounter attacks and ugly treatment on a certain island in the southeast.

The ordinary people of the world, for so many years, for the sake of the Qing Dynasty in the north, have borne a heavy burden, and constantly increase the salary, and the salary is increased, which makes the people of the world miserable, and eventually led to the fall of the Ming Dynasty, not to mention that every few years, the Qing soldiers who have slowed down their strength will send troops into the pass to plunder, although the southerners can hide at home safely, hugging their young daughters, doing what is not easy to do starvation, and still follow the poetry of the praying mantis, but the memory of the northerners is not short enough to forget these things in a few years.

What a credit to the common people of the north! Although in the mouths of those scholars, the elders will disrespect Confucianism, depose the Four Books and Five Classics, and even refuse to give Xiucai the most basic food, what a sin it is, but the common people will not think so!

In the eyes of the common people, these years have been incredible, even those who have to emigrate, according to their education, are also going to the land of the Chinese.

After a day of delay, I also indirectly learned that the thoughts of Jiangnan people at this time were that they had no ideas.

In this era, Jiangnan basically has no active political talents, only under the stress reaction, busy coping, and it is almost impossible to expect them to carry out changes and reforms.

Patience to kill a giggle and say, help them eliminate Zhang Xianzhong, then the beauty and wealth are allowed to take the Confucian, Li Xiangqian estimated in his heart, this kind of person should be in Jiangnan.

When they were invaded, the thinking of Confucians and civilians was different.

In the south of the Yangtze River and in the city, these people who have been under the banner of Confucius for thousands of years, eating the imperial court and the people's fat and ointment, can go to Chongqing and go overseas to study and escape.

The peasants, who were attacked as ignorant by the scholars above, were chained one by one to fight against the enemy's steel.

They have nothing, really nothing, because the little pitiful aid from foreign countries has become the enjoyment of the people at the top, and they have to use ten people, a hundred people, maybe not enough to exchange the lives of an enemy, and in the rear, those people, still maintain a life of fine clothes and food.

After the victory, the peasants were still attacked, ridiculed, and cursed with all kinds of words.

And those scholars, who have completed their university in Chongqing, are holding up their hideous faces, looking at a peaceful country, asking for various official positions, imagining that they will become human beings forever, and some people even directly want to work in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

This is why these landlords and Confucians can easily ask for how much benefit Li Xiangqian can get after directly sending troops to help drive away the enemy, and how much he can get to plunder the common people.

The powerful and the ordinary people have always been two kinds of animals, just like the matter of "borrowing troops to suppress bandits", for the powerful, just a few sheep in the sheepfold may be captured, but as long as the sheepfold is kept, and their glory, wealth and status and power are kept, the sheep are not easy to catch.

His evaluation of Jiangnan literati in his heart has been lowered by one level, but these things are not his turn.

"By the way, Elder, in this imperial capital, there are more and more crazy births, and some people actually say that all the people in the world are equal, it's just a joke, can't you take care of these crazy births."

Li Xiangqian glanced at him and said, "Oh, yes, I don't care about this matter, you cultural people have to break it up yourself, anyway, what Confucius said is right, right, the people before Confucius are all wrong because they are different from what Confucius said, mmmm." ”
