Compared with Ma Shiying's passive response, this group of Bachelor of Science doctors is indeed actively saving the world! Although their salvation methods, Mao Jue doesn't know how far they have developed.

But first of all, Jiangnan has already felt the pain and suffering.

There is a proverb in Daming, you can't buy Songjiang cloth, you can't finish Weitang yarn! Since Huang Daopo brought back advanced textile methods from Hainan, buying cotton spinning thread and weaving and selling has become a pillar industry here, and the common people rely on it to maintain their vitality, but today, Songjiang cloth seems to have come to the end of its history.

A fire rose to the sky, carefully maintained, the loom full of oil was burned in the fire creaked, a stream of black smoke rose into the sky, followed by the burning of the hearts of the people of Songjiang, watching the unfinished cotton cloth turned into ashes, the people's hearts are probably more uncomfortable than frying.

I don't know how many Songjiang County Commanders this is, but the fat body has not changed, holding a yellow silk, he said proudly.

"Fengtian carrier, the emperor said: ......, since the beginning of Longqing, the people have many merchants and cheap servants, the people's hearts are flashy, the traitors are numerous, the fertile land is famine, the people have a lot of good money and bad production, so that Taicang is exhausted, the court is tight, the army has no food for the month, and the people have no supply of rice, this is not the way of the human monarch to rule the world!"

"From now on, the spinning wheels will be burned, the trade routes will be cut off, the people will all return to the land, plant in spring and harvest in autumn, enjoy the prosperous world, and then there will be treacherous and profiteous people, and the government at all levels will be beheaded!"

"It's very clear that no, from now on, you lazy people and degenerate people, all go down to the fields and plough the land well, and then dare to work hard and do the things of the cheap businessmen, and the official will ask the Son of Heaven to behead you with a sword!"

"But sir! Where is the land for the poor to cultivate? ”

The county official hadn't finished shouting yet, but there were already people below who couldn't stop shouting.

Qian Qianyi, Jiang Yueguang and others had a good idea, directly eliminated the commodity economy, the common people returned to the fields, from the field to eat, as long as there is a stutter, the people generally will not rebel, there is no social contradictions, they will naturally settle down, and they can also enjoy the worship of the people like Dr. Wei Jinshi.

However, at this time, it was not the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, let alone the early Ming Dynasty, when there were only a few million households in the south of the Wei, Jin, and Jiangnan provinces, with a population of less than 20 million, but at this time, the population of Jiangnan was 80 million to hundreds of millions, and the land was highly concentrated.

There is no inch of land, and many Songjiang people have worked hard to weave and live by spinning and weaving! This Guitian Ling is good, but in fact, it is the only way for them to live!

Is there a way for the magistrate in this case? The children of Donglin, who are full of brains, are also helpless, let them divide their own land? No way!

Listening to the increasingly fierce shouting, the fat county official became angry, and shouted in annoyance: "Shut up the official!" This official sees that you are a group of Diao people, and sincerely oppose this official and the court! Come on! Arrest all those old things to this official! ”

The wolf-like servants rushed down, dragged and beaten, and dragged out a dozen panicked old men, and in their shouting, the residents of the entire village and the entire market town shouted and cried angrily, but they did not exchange the slightest soft-hearted heart of these officials.

When they were gone, all they were left with unburned looms and desperate faces.

These Confucian children, who have been peaceful for a long time, have completely forgotten that once the people are forced to what point, how desperate they will erupt into anger.

At night, the entire town under the command of Songjiang Mansion seemed to have become a tomb, the silence was terrible, the darkness did not even have a trace of light, and on the street, more than a dozen figures shook like zombies, until they entered the house, which aroused their vitality.

"Grandpa is back! Grandpa is back! ”

"Dad, are you alright?"

"Where's my grandfather?"

"Hey, the old man let those grandsons be beaten to death, and it costs ten taels of silver to receive the corpse, we really don't have any money, so we can only bring the living back first!"

Desperate enough to not even cry, with a deep sigh, the whole scene fell into dead silence again.

"It's really not good, please ask the money clerk to plant a little bit for us!"

"The tenants under the Qian Yuan's hands are full, where is there any land, even if it is divided, is that one or two acres enough for us to eat and drink? Lao Sun quit last year, rented a year's foreign land, his wife was hungry, and sold her five-year-old granddaughter to the Qinhuai River to be a thin horse! Into the fire pit where thousands of people rode and ten thousand people pressed it! ”

"It's really not good, find Carpenter Li again, and secretly make some spinning wheels?"

"Where does cotton come from? The last bit of money in my family has redeemed my father! ”

Discussed and discussed, suddenly, the table was kicked down violently by a poster, in the surprised look of a group of elders, the posterior blushed, and roared angrily: "He is spicy mother, our loom is burned, why is his surname Qian still weaving, there is a labor tax on weekdays, we are out, the Qian family is lively, and now the government doesn't even give a way to live!" ”

"Lao Tzu can't bear it anymore, I'm going to burn his money family's weaving mill now!"

"I'll go with you!"

"I'll go too!"

Just like an angry roar from Chen Sheng Daze Township, his words, the whole town also boiled, and the young people were angry and bravely picked up the sticks of the guys, roaring and about to leave the town.

But the old man was still calm and afraid of things, and he was anxiously dissuaded in the back: "Aren't you rebelling when you do this?" Aren't you afraid of being killed? ”

"If you stay, you'll starve to death, so it's better to fight! Zhuangzi, who burned the money and the old dog, tried to go to Shanghai to vote for the regent, even if he died, at least he didn't die in vain! ”

This shout, even the most stubborn village elders were silent.

In the middle of the night, the sky suddenly brightened, and in the crackling sound of burning, the same looms were crackling, followed by the firewood stacks of the Qian family's granary, and the fire wall several meters high illuminated half of the sky.

And it's not just that, standing at the top of the Songjiang city wall and looking out, the sporadic fires seem to reflect each other with the stars!

......

When the poor people in Jiangnan were struggling to survive, the large conference hall specially prepared for shareholders in the Imperial Plaza and the hot spring hotel was also dead silent, surrounded by a spacious conference table, and hundreds of shareholders sighed in their hearts.

Haimao is not so easy to do, that is to exchange his life with the Sea Dragon King for silver, this year is very smooth, but at the end of the year, there is a bloody disaster.

"The Lord Regent has arrived!"

In the long shout, these shareholders seemed to have found their parents, and a light appeared in their pupils one by one, and they stood up and saluted.

"Regent!"

"Meet the Regent!"

"Sit down!"

Zheng Zhilong, who came with Mao Jue, was filled with a happy excitement on his old face full of sea breeze wrinkles, which made all the maritime merchants emerge with hope, however, after sitting down, Mao Jue's first words made everyone fall down again as if a basin of cold water had been poured on their heads.

"The imperial court will not declare war on the Spaniards because of this!"

yes! When has the imperial court ever taken care of the life and death of these lowly merchants, as long as they hand over the silver when necessary, it is already a blessing for the regent to care about their merchants like this, what else can the big guy expect?

Seeing the dead silence, Mao Jue was also dull for a few seconds, and in an instant, he threw a revolver on the table.

"Do you still remember when you joined the shareholder Indian company, Lao Tzu told you about the company's rights? You have the right to dividends, and above the sea, you also have the right to declare war and peace! The Spaniards in Manila are also their East India Company members, they detained our ships, killed our people, and slaughtered the Chinese in Hong Kong like pigs and dogs, the same East India Company, why should we endure it? ”

"As the chairman, Lao Tzu proposed, take out a sum of silver, organize the fleet, and fight back! How these Western Barbarians kill our people, we will kill them back! 10 times the return! ”

"Organizing a private army and fighting with other countries, isn't that a rebellion?"

The businessman of Daming is really too honest and too responsible, as soon as Mao Jue's voice fell, someone was already shocked to speak, but the noise was also short-lived, and then someone stabbed the person who made the sound, and after a while, everyone's eyes lit up again.

The regent personally promised, this is more effective than the emperor's decree, worry about a yarn? The old Jin merchant Kang Wanli was the first to jump up, knocking on the table and shouting: "Regent, the old man is willing to pay 500,000 taels of military salary, as long as he can pay for his blood debts!" ”

"I'll give 300,000 taels!"

"I'll give 600,000 taels!"

"I don't need a tael of silver!"

Mao Jue's voice knocking on the table interrupted everyone again, pointing to the pistol, he said gloomily and hurriedly: "The company made a profit of 7.1 million taels this year, we are a whole, the company's people were killed, naturally the company paid for revenge, if the silver is not enough, it is also raised according to the shares, and this king should take the lion's share!" ”

"And the fight against Manila, where the spoils of war and the output should also be distributed according to the shares! Now what this king needs is not silver, but everyone's determination, since he is doing it, he is not hiding behind and shouting twice, if he wants to do it, he will rush to the forefront and follow these Western barbarians to the end! Let them know who is the master of the East China Sea! ”

"As chairman, I vote for war! What about you! ”

"Declare war, my old Zheng is the vanguard!"

"Declare war! How can I allow these barbarians to be bullied? ”

"Declare war!"

"Declare war!"

This time the company declared war, not from the capitalists for the sake of interest and burst out of the anger, Mao Jue accounted for a lot of weight, so that the company still branded a strong feudal mark, but since the first shot was fired, Mao Jue believes that the rich dividends can be like the blood in front of the shark, arouse the greedy appetite of the gang in front of them, next time, even if they no longer charge ahead, they will be crazy into it.

To tell the truth, this kind of capitalist expansion is unjust, bloody, dark, and cruel, but the universal laws of this era are like this, why is there no Ming on this wonderful stage in the Age of Discovery? Benevolence, righteousness and morality should be left to the children and grandchildren who have become rich!

also had scarlet eyes because of the war, looking at the shareholders who roared one by one, Mao Jue sneered fiercely and cruelly.

"Let's kill his chickens and dogs!"
