264 At the time of the expedition
Under the planning of Yang Changfan, ten days later, in the two-story building in the most prosperous area of Moss Wan Province, the East Pacific Company was established, recruiting staff and sailors, and the first business was to undertake the registration and boarding service of China Eastern Airlines Mexico. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 Seeing that the Huiwang Mansion was also involved, and there were gunboats to escort them, the businessmen who were interested in sailing finally paid the entry fee honestly.
Shortly thereafter, Feng Hai, the servant of the original Yang Changfan, also established the Fenghai Shipbuilding Company in his personal name, and Xu Wenchang established the Shanyin Bookstore in his personal name.
It's a pity that in a short period of time, except for shipbuilding, no one cares about the rest of the industries, and Yang Changfan has no intention of reducing taxes and preferential treatment at this time.
At the end of the year, the accumulation of wealth under the Moss Bay is more prosperous, as the inland rebels have been suppressed, the flow of displaced businessmen has continued to pour in, the west bank has been developed most of the three prefectures of Xinli Moss, Moss, Nan and Hsinchu, under more than ten counties, the aborigines are naturalized, the fertile land is cultivated, and new crops such as corn and potatoes are planted.
According to the statistics of Moswan Prefecture, the total population of Moss Bay Island, including Penghu, has exploded to 2 million, with plenty of food and silver, and the number of newborn households has also increased significantly, and it will not be long before a new batch of population outbreaks will be ushered in.
In such an environment, the policy of "dividing the land among those who came" had to be stopped, and the newly cultivated fields were controlled and bought by the Huiwang Mansion, and more displaced people who came to invest were invested in other industries, and the young people who passed the imperial examination were made by the Huiwang Mansion. As the saying goes, it is easy to do things with money, the better the environment of Moss Bay, the better the environment, the more investors will come, the more taxes will be collected, the more money will be, and the better it will be to do things.
Moss Bay has entered a pure virtuous circle, while the inland continues to be in a vicious circle.
Although the Yan Party fell, Xu Jie came to power again, Xu Jie must be a hero, a respectable, and the first assistant who does things, but the clan is huge, there are many customers, and he can't live for a day just by relying on the first assistant, and he did not hesitate to follow the long-standing rules, and wantonly encircled the fields in his hometown, and his henchmen will inevitably follow suit.
In terms of the degree of corruption, the difference between the two parties is probably only as much as Yan Shifan, but Xu Jie's work is just Xu Jie's procrastination.
With the advent of forty-two years, an even more miraculous thing appeared - there were no pirates in the East China Sea.
More specifically, there are also a lot fewer Chinese pirates in Nanyang.
The old pirates had made enough money to free themselves and return to the fields, the young people continued to gallop with their bohemian and freedom-loving spirits, and those seeking stability joined the caravans, the shipyards, the Eastern Pacific Company, and the Huiwang's mansion.
The rampant pirates are good because of desire, but at the same time, they are forced to be helpless.
is the so-called forced Liangshan, counting one hundred and eight generals, in fact, there are not many who are born to rebel. Nowadays, the Huiwang Mansion provides an open, free and wealthy soil, pirates can go to business, and sailors can find a regular business without having to take all kinds of risks to make money and kill themselves.
Even Kyushu, Ryukyu, and Koreans have immigrated to Mowan in search of a new place to live.
The small moss bay can't fit so many people.
In such a wave of newborns, Yang Mansion also added happy events, Qiao'er Shen Minrui successively gave birth to a son and a daughter, named Yang Biyuan, Yang Biyue, because Yang Changfan's wife and concubine have been in a certain physiological state for a long time recently, here Niha finally entered the door of Yang's Mansion in a low-key manner, becoming the third lady, often accompanied by around, Bi Yuan, Biyue was born and also diligently cared for, and the back house was happy.
Giving birth to children has always been a wave of things, seeing that Moss Bay is in a prosperous world, the people are crazy, Yang Changfan is crazy, and the rest of the people are also difficult to brake. The honorary owner of Huiwangfu almost got two sons at the same time as Yang Changfan, Huiwangfu finally has a legitimate descendant, Zhao Guangtou also hugged a little bald head, Xu Wenchang and a woman who is about the same age as his son are happy to have a daughter, and they are overjoyed, as for the reproduction of Hu Zongxian and others, it is needless to say, it can be said that except for He Xinyin, almost every family is happy to add a new ding.
At the beginning of forty-two years, one east and one west, two things came, west, I replied that I was hungry again, Yu Dayou was too old to move, so he was appointed as the general army of Fujian, and there were no thieves in the East China Sea, and Qi Jiguang was transferred north to deal with his old friend.
Things were more serious in the east, as Diego led the Manila-Mexico route, more Chinese people learned the art of navigating in the Pacific, and for a while, caravans began to come and go, except for American specialties, silver was simply everywhere here, and Chinese merchants sold traditional Ming specialties and spices.
It stands to reason that the newly emerging Caribbean pirates should cause some trouble for the Chinese merchant fleet, but these Blackbeards are only active on the east coast of Mexico at this time, and the west coast has always been a deserted place, not because of how miserable it is, but because the Panama Canal is still a hypothetical divine project, from the east coast of Mexico to the west coast can only go through the Strait of Magellan in the south of Argentina, or the hellish extreme south Cape Horn, this matter is simply a terrible voyage comparable to traveling around the world, Naturally, the pirates would not fight for the legendary Eastern Fleet.
This makes the environment on the West Coast very beautiful, most of the time it is filled with ships selling goods from the Americas, and the Mexican governor does not have too many fleets in the area.
Occasionally, there are visitors from afar, the scale is not large, but it is still tolerable, and a fleet like Digo's first eastern voyage is almost the limit of tolerance. But suddenly, a large number of Chinese caravans poured in, looting the freshly baked silver like locusts, which undoubtedly touched the sensitive nerves of the Spaniards, and finally in 1563, in the small town of Acapulco on the south coast of Spain, Mexican soldiers ransacked a Chinese caravan that had just unloaded its goods and was ready to be shipped to the big city, even though the owner of the caravan shouted "hui! ”、“soy-hui! "The Spaniards didn't stop either. With the destruction of this caravan, the whole territory of New Spain and Mexico forbade Chinese merchants to call at the port, and the Chinese merchants who had just tasted the sweetness were extremely sad and angry, and asked to see the owner of the ship, and asked the owner to be the master.
The north is a daily offense, the agreement between Nanyang and Portugal has not expired, Qi Jiguang in the southeast goes north to Yu Dayou to retire, Xu Jie, the capital is busy taking care of the endgame of the party, Oda Nobunaga of Japan is beginning to show his edge, the Malay Guava Feilong country is dead nails, and Moss Bay is full of little daughters-in-law with children.
Yang Changfan, who is nearly 30 years old, clearly realized that it was indeed time to go to sea again. (To be continued.) )
