Chapter Seventy-Eight: Methods

Quanzhou Pushi, in which "Quanzhou" is the place name, "Pushi" is the family name, but in this era there is no Quanzhou, Quanzhou Pushi is impossible to talk about, Yuwenwen and Yang Ji mentioned this term, because only the two of them know what it means. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

In the Southern Song Dynasty, the famous Thornton Port - Quanzhou Port, controlled by the Pu family, monopolized the sea trade and was good at the market, in the late Southern Song Dynasty, the Pu family owner Pu Shougeng controlled the Quanzhou City Ship Division for 30 years, and the wealth was rivaled by the country.

The Yuan army broke through Lin'an, the Song royal family fled south, wanting to take Quanzhou as the national capital, but the Pu family, who was favored by the Song family, turned his face, and Pu Shougeng did not hesitate to kill more than 3,000 people in the city of the Song clan and scholars, that is, the officers and soldiers of the army as a vote.

Pu Shougeng in the Song and Yuan Dynasty on the occasion of the Ding Revolution, the Yuan Dynasty tilted the Song Dynasty, rebelled against the Song Shiyuan, the nature was extremely bad, the Fanshang who settled in Quanzhou was treated favorably by the Southern Song Dynasty for generations, but in the Southern Song Dynasty when the Southern Song Dynasty was in danger, the grace will take revenge, and slaughter the Southern Song Dynasty royal family and officials in Quanzhou.

Therefore, after the founding of the Ming Dynasty, Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang of Hongwu specially ordered all the Pu clans of Quanzhou Pu Shou Geng to be put into the lowly register, and they were not allowed to enter the government for generations.

Yu Wenwen's "revisiting the old things" is based on a worry, that is, he will definitely promote Panyu's maritime trade, and with more and more overseas merchants, the proportion of Panyu's population will also change significantly.

The sea route between Western Persia and the Central Plains in the East, it takes more than half a year or even a year to complete a trip, and the merchants who arrive in Panyu including their entourage and crew must settle in the city, and it is very common to intermarry with the locals over time.

After hundreds of years of maritime trade development since the Qin and Han dynasties, a considerable number of people have settled in the city, intermarriage is very common, and the residences are also mixed together, that is, the so-called "mixed living of the Fan and Han".

If this situation continues, in the long run, the maritime trade will be easily controlled by the merchants, because the Central Plains government has always despised the local merchants in favor of foreign merchants, just as the rulers of the Wei and Jin dynasties have favored the Sogdian Hu merchants.

In this way, it is easy to raise an ungrateful person similar to Pu Shougeng in Quanzhou, and in history, at the end of the Tang Dynasty, Guangzhou's merchants were already big at the end, and even before the merchants left Hong Kong and returned to China, they burned and looted in Panyu.

If it weren't for the fact that Huang Chao slaughtered a large number of merchants when he slaughtered Guangzhou, I am afraid that Guangzhou would soon become a foreign colony.

This is a long-term prospect, and in the short term, allowing a large-scale influx of merchants and settling without effective control can easily lead to serious security problems, and a scene from the original history may appear in advance.

During the Tang Dynasty, there was a dispute between the merchant and the magistrate in the Panyu official office, and after killing people on the spot, he went away, boarded the ship at the dock and left, but no one dared to stop him.

In the late Tang Dynasty, some merchants launched a rebellion in the city, and the officials and soldiers were so angry that they boarded the ship and left after they were burned and looted.

This kind of thing must not be allowed!

Even putting aside these hidden dangers, from a military point of view, Yuwenwen's raid on Dianchong, the capital of Linyi, was to break into Linyi Port by sea and then directly attack Dianchong, he didn't want to be used to break through Panyu City, so now the status quo of Panyu City's weak coastal defense must be changed.

How to change? Of course, it's the right to be the governor of Guangzhou and the history of Guangzhou to figure out a way!

"Your Majesty, this matter must be considered in the long run..."

"yes, let's talk about it now."

Yang Ji coughed dryly, looked at the high sun, and asked Yuwen Wen to talk in detail under the shade of the jackapple tree, the other party only gave him half a month to think about it, so some ideas have not been thought out deeply, but since you want to say it now, then say it first and then improve it while doing it.

There are two kinds of methods: treating the symptoms and treating the root cause, and the time required to "cure the symptoms" is relatively short, while if you want to "cure the root cause", I am afraid it will take a long time.

The so-called "symptomatic treatment", that is, in order to guard against the increasing number of people (foreigners) who have settled in Panyu, resulting in the tail is difficult to manage, to control the number of people, to put it simply, but how to control it in practice?

First of all, it must not be as in history, set up a Fanfang for the Fan people to live, which will only lead to those Fan people grouping together to form a similar powerful force, so Panyu can not be allowed to appear in a large-scale Fan people settlement area, to be divided.

If it is a short-term settlement, they are not allowed to enter the city overnight, but settle in a new residential area near the port area, which is managed by the government.

If you want to live in the residential area for a certain period of time (such as half a year) and do not leave but want to live for a long time, you must declare to the government and obtain permission before you can settle in the city.

The Panyu City should be expanded or planned, and the Li Fang system should be strictly implemented, and the number of households in each "Li" or "Fang" must be limited to a lower proportion.

Whether it is a wealthy merchant, a retinue, a shipowner or a crew member, regardless of gender, the proportion of the number of people must be strictly limited, with the exception of minor children, of course, but as long as they are adults, they must be included in the statistics.

The question then arises, what should I do if there are too many people applying for long-term residence and the Li Fang of Panyu City cannot be accommodated?

It is easy to do, the period of long-term residence will not be too long (such as one year), and there are only two options for those who are about to expire in the period of residence, either to return to China or to naturalize, which is to be registered in the official government, become a citizen of the Zhou State, and assume the responsibilities and obligations that all citizens should bear.

What if the other party doesn't choose either?

Hehe.

"'Huh'? Is it interesting that you are 'hehe' with the widow? ”

"Uh, the king, these people who don't return to China after the deadline and don't want to be naturalized naturally can't live in the city, as for where they will go by then, even if the lower officials are still in office, there is no way to know."

"Well, go ahead."

Yu Wenwen is very satisfied, since Yang Ji has "opened his mind", then there is nothing to worry about, in the future, Guangzhou City is full of illegal settlers of black and silk, as long as the passport is torn, he can stay in a grand manner, he doesn't want this kind of thing to 'repeat' in this era.

"Dawang, the management of the port area needs to be strengthened, first of all, it is necessary to plan a short-term residential area, there must be a small city scale, which is convenient for the government to govern and control, and for the people who have settled here, the law enforcement must be fair and strict, neither oppressive nor conniving."

"Panyu Port aside, the management of this ancient port must be strengthened, so as not to cause chaos among the pirates, after all, the maritime merchants and the pirates are actually two sides of the same coin."

"Gudou Port is the outer port of Panyu Port, and the lower officials think that the old system must be changed, that is, Gudou Port is designated as a port of discharge, and all Fanbang ships must be unloaded here, and they are not allowed to dock in Panyu with goods."

Yu Wenwen asked rhetorically: "Then how do they do business?" Unloading in Gudou, and running to Panyu to load, buyers and sellers are divided into two places to trade, both troublesome and unsafe, Fanshang in case they feel that the government wants to be greedy for their goods, dare not come to what to do? ”

"Also, the empty ship goes to Panyu, it doesn't matter if the draft is shallow, but after Panyu is fully loaded with goods, if it runs aground in the port area, what should I do?"

"King, let's not talk about the draft problem first, Xia Guan thinks that Panyu and Gu Dou can refer to the relationship between Xiyang and Bakou."

Hearing this, Yuwen Wen looked at Yang Ji with a smile, and laughed after a while: "The key is credit, you want to engage in collusion between officials and businessmen in Panyu?" Be careful of the widow's tears and write a chapter to impeach you! ”
