Chapter 344: Arrange the fire in Liu's Mansion

Jiang Feng also knew very well about the skirmish in the south of Korea, after the clash between 300 civil guards and the same number of Japanese soldiers, more than a dozen people died, but he captured nearly 150 prisoners and killed more than 70 people on the other side, and the casualties on his side were caused by the samurai of the other side.

However, there is one thing that makes people laugh and cry, among the more than 150 captives, there are actually more than 120 Koreans and more than 30 peasants and soldiers from Kyushu.

The first reaction of the Jiang Jiajun was that the small court of North Korea colluded with the Japanese to prepare to overthrow the sky, Liu Twelve was the most vigilant, and immediately ordered the two thousand people stationed in the north of Seoul to enter the city with artillery and surround the palace.

Especially after Liu Shisan's incident came out, he was even more cautious, after this transfer of troops, he took the initiative to find Jiang Feng to ask for guilt, Jiang Feng did not blame him, but mobilized most of the forces of the Jiang family's army, even the guards arranged by the Jingshi merchant group in Incheon were ordered to be on guard.

Several small gunboats sailed around Seoul, so like a great enemy, the small court of Korea did not know what was going on, and Li Rengong, the king of Baishan, was even more soulless, and sent a messenger overnight to ask what was going on.

After knowing the affairs in the south of North Korea, the officials of North Korea were all crying and laughing, and hurriedly explained carefully, Jiang Feng was skeptical after hearing their explanation, and also found some North Korean craftsmen to verify this is reassuring.

Just as most of the so-called Japanese soldiers were Ming Dynasty's own smugglers, many of the Japanese soldiers in southern Korea who committed crimes were the result of collusion between the Japanese and local Korean bandits.

This matter went on silently, knowing that the regimental training without actual combat could have such a result against the Japanese soldiers, Jiang Feng's subordinates were quite emotional, and the southern part of Korea and Jeju Island were very close to Kyushu, Japan, and they knew each other very well.

Now the arrest of the North Koreans is almost the limit, most of the North Koreans have been driven to the north of Seoul, and because the coal and iron mines in the north need a large number of laborers, it is not impossible for Jiangfeng to be too dry and fishing to plunder the labor, after all, it is necessary to ensure the supply of their own resources.

Shandong because of Liu Shisan's rebellion and Wendao's rebellion, it has been destroyed and not good, but after a large number of people were divided by Jiang Feng and the Jingshi merchant group, there are no displaced people left there to transport here, and now Jiang Feng in Nanzhili and Shandong are promising to plough cattle and fields to recruit population, but the effect of this is very average, and there are only more than 2,000 people coming here at the most in January, less than 30,000 people a year.

In Yizhou, that is, in the northern part of Taiwan, more than 1,000 families of the Xia family have settled down in the first place, and what they do there is very simple, that is, to grow sugarcane, grow sugarcane to make sugar, and sell it to Westerners and Japanese.

Five of Jiang Feng's medium-sized warships were stationed there, Yang Shishi led a thousand people there, and the Xia family had nearly two thousand households, four or five thousand people, except for those in Damen Island and their hometown in Fujian, they were all circled by Jiang Feng and Xia Cuiyu.

There are 1,000 people in the Xia family in Incheon, either in the navy or on the merchant ships, and they are also rotated every year, so as to avoid dissent from the Xia family in Taiwan and make it easier to control.

Although it was inconvenient to recruit peasants in Shandong and Jiangsu, Yang Shishi recruited in Fujian under the same conditions as Incheon, but the effect was good, and the northern part of Fujian was mountainous and barren, and the mountain people there knew such good conditions, so they dragged their families to the sea to survive.

At this time, in addition to the aborigines, Taiwan is completely a wild land, the land is fertile, and the climate is also suitable, as long as you plant the crops according to the pattern on the mainland, the harvest is much better than that of the mainland, as for sugarcane, it is more suitable for the climate, and the initial settlement is much better, and the next days are much better, and the 1,000 soldiers of the Jiang family army are guarding here, and there is no need to worry about the harassment of the aborigines.

Although Zhao Xiucai calculated that in the early stage of Taiwan's development, he would have to spend a lot of money to enter it, and now he is building ships and cannons, recruiting displaced people, and spending too much money, but Jiang Feng knows in his heart that the few geographical knowledge in his head will not deceive him.

After all, when there was no crossing, the affairs on both sides of the strait were overwhelming propaganda, so Jiang Feng did not know what specialties the province he lived in, but he knew a lot about Taiwan, and he also knew a lot about the price of sugar after sitting down in the past few years, and he did not need any outstanding economic knowledge, and he could also judge that after the immigrants in Taiwan settled down, there was no problem at all in self-sufficiency, and there would be a large number of profits in production.

What's more important is the geographical location of Taiwan, which hangs overseas, and the distance from the mainland is quite close, and no matter what aspect it is, it is a good base, plus Jiang Feng's own powerful maritime power, with this place, it can be said that there is no worries.

Now the market in Hangzhou, Zhejiang Province is much more prosperous than two years ago, the continuous bankruptcy of farmers makes the labor source of the handicraft workshop is not lacking, the order of the sea has gradually settled down, so that the sea trade is more and more hot, the hot demand for goods is also increasing, and the demand for goods is directly driving the prosperity of the handicraft factory.

The prosperity of the merchants and artisanal owners of the seas led to the flourishing of various local service industries, and at the same time, large quantities of silver were used to buy land, and this cycle was repeated.

Now the coastal cities of Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Fujian and Guangdong are experiencing unprecedented prosperity, but Liu Shunhua can not enjoy this treatment, he is now recuperating at home, and the original door is in front of the mansion of the Zhejiang political envoy Si Bu, and now it is very deserted.

Liu Shunhua's recuperation is a tacit matter, he knows that Jiang Feng's rash disappearance has brought him too much trouble, and there are no brocade guards in his house to copy it now, presumably those people also have some business entanglements with Jiang Feng, and they are unwilling to make too many things out.

Liu Shunhua's family is quite uneasy, his wife is a beautiful lady, naturally she is very familiar with this situation, and she knows in her heart that her lord may not have any chance to turn over, so naturally he will not give Liu Shunhua any good face, Liu Shunhua also understands that it is very good that his wife does not return to the capital, so he does not provoke, and he just follows his concubine every day.

In the days of living in the house, Liu Shunhua also often thought about himself, four years ago he was still a low-grade Hanlin bachelor, and suddenly he became a political participant in Shandong, a political envoy in Zhejiang, and a political envoy in Zhejiang.

He began to resentfully Jiang Feng, the bold son-in-law, and then gradually calmed down, and also figured out this matter, his wealth probably still came from his son-in-law told him, it should be to Lu Bing's side, so he soared, and gave him a large amount of silver over the years to make him smooth sailing in the officialdom, and there are also people in Hangzhou who help him calm down the troubles, and his official reputation and wealth are from Jiang Feng.

Now because of Jiang Feng's sudden disappearance, he has lost his wealth and wealth, and no one is to blame, but although Liu Shunhua has wiped his tears a few times in front of people, he is secretly wondering where his son-in-law and daughter have gone, is it because he has fallen into the grass, but such a large group of bandits has already shocked the world.

Around Liu Shunhua's mansion, there are always a few small traders, these small traders can't see the appearance of any traders, and they can already make the servants of the Liu Mansion see that they are the spies of Jinyiwei, but they naturally will not be polite to an official who has lost power, or unscrupulously monitor.

But the effect of this kind of surveillance is really outrageous, and there are now four or five more strangers in Liu's mansion, but the outside has not noticed it at all.

"Lord Liu, who are you going to bring with you in this house, give me a list!"

Liu Shunhua sat in the study, opened his mouth wide and looked at the family of the Liu Mansion in front of him, and the housekeeper Liu stood aside with a smile, and waited until the family headed by him finished speaking, and quickly explained there:

"Master, these people are all people arranged by my uncle in the mansion, and they are also for the safety of my lord!"

was actually concealed by his closest people for so long, Liu Shunhua was furious, and wanted to stand up and get angry, but then he was deflated, and said weakly:

"Ask me what I'm doing, the people I'm going to bring, you already know it!"

The family standing there nodded expressionlessly and said:

"The cronies and family members who are still left in the Lord's Mansion, as well as the four wives and their families, a total of thirty-five people, here is the list, is there anything else your Excellency would like to add?"

Liu Shunhua looked at the rather detailed list there, smiled bitterly, and without getting angry, he just raised his head and said a few names, and after the family took it, there was a smile on his face, and he said:

"Miss has always missed my lord, so I specially invite him to come and meet."

On the evening of the next day, a fire broke out in the mansion of Liu Shunhua, the political envoy of Zhejiang Province, who was recuperating behind closed doors, and the whole family of 45 disappeared and was suspected to have died in the flames.......
