Two days after Li Yu returned to Luoyang, the Luoyang branch of the royal weekly magazine published an article written by King Yan - Andong Metropolitan Protectorate on the disposal of overseas discoveries. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

As soon as it was released, it attracted a lot of attention, and since the establishment of the Royal Weekly, it was the first time that King Yan personally wrote an article and published it.

"Sell newspapers, sell newspapers! In major news, His Royal Highness the Protector of the Great Continent of Andong has released the land disposal policy for the newly discovered overseas lands. If you want to go overseas to Tuntian, don't miss this issue of the newspaper, otherwise you will regret it later! ”

The newsboy waved the newspaper in his hand and shouted loudly as he walked all the way, attracting sideways glances from passers-by, and many people gathered around and took out five copper plates to buy a newspaper.

Zhang Chengqi, who was passing by, grabbed the reins, and in recent days, about overseas places, because of the magazine "Overseas Strange Stories", there has been a lot of uproar among the people, and he was quite curious about what new moves King Yan had, so he bought a newspaper from the newsboy.

"The overseas places mentioned in the "Overseas Anecdotes" are all sent by the king Xianheng at the end of the first year of the southeast and Lelang Sea two ships, across thousands of miles of sea territory, after half a year of exploration. The overseas islands explored are Hokkaido, Taiwan, Sakhalin, and Luzon are the largest, and the soil and environment are the largest in Hokkaido and Taiwan. The two islands have extremely vast and fertile plains, and there are no floods and droughts; There is a lot of gold hidden in the mountains, and the famous ginseng and Ganoderma lucidum are born; The mink, deer, and lynx in the mountains, a good archery can be taken from the fur and antler velvet ......"

Looking at the very propaganda text in the first paragraph of the article, Zhang Chengqi couldn't help but chuckle and sighed: "King Yan has created a beautiful dream for the general public. ”

"Although the islands found overseas are fertile, they lack manpower to split the wilderness and spread the light of civilization. This king is the protector of the Tang Dynasty Andong Metropolitan Protector, and he can't bear to look at it when he sees this. It is determined to give civilization to the new territory of the Tang Dynasty, and in a few years, the country will gain dozens of prosperous states and counties, and merge with the Central Plains. ”

"Hereby, all the people of the Tang Dynasty who go to Hokkaido, Taiwan, Sakhalin, and Ryukyu to reclaim the land can be divided into 300 acres for adults and 100 acres for the old and young. Ploughing for three years can be obtained from Anton, and this is repeated for three years. ”

"If you need a large amount of land, even if you have more than 1,000 acres, for every 500 acres of land, you can organize the relocation of three households to the local area, and the land will be exempted for three years. This quota is limited to prestigious families and wealthy merchants. ”

"This?" Zhang Chengqi didn't think so before, but he couldn't calm down when he saw it. In addition to the annual rice and monthly salary, being an official is a professional field. But the first-class official of the post field is only 1,200 acres, and it is still from the imperial court, so he can only collect a rent, and if he leaves the job, the field is not his own.

"No, I have to go back to my father and grandfather to discuss and get a piece of land overseas to build a family foundation."

Although the Qinghe Zhang family is a wang family, its name is much smaller than that of the five surnames and seven wangs, and the most important thing is that the family does not have much property. The once great family business has been divided among the houses from generation to generation, and now there is not much land belonging to the house of the grandfather.

Grandfather Zhang Wenqian is an upright official, attaches great importance to honor, is not greedy or acceptable, although he is the prime minister, but his own house depends on his salary to live, and there is not enough land to leave to his children and grandchildren, how can they maintain the reputation of the Qinghe Zhang family in the future?

Wang Jun, a wealthy businessman in Chang'an, couldn't even celebrate the New Year at home, so he hurried to Luoyang with generous gifts, and bought a new issue of the Royal Weekly newspaper at the newsstand at the gate of Luoyang City.

After looking at it, Wang Jun slapped his thigh and laughed: "His Royal Highness King Yan is in the middle of this strategy!" ”

Half a month later, Zhang Yue, who went south early, learned the news published by the Luoyang Royal Weekly in Yangzhou, and was remorseful, and after handing over the matter to his subordinates, he hurriedly returned north.

More than a month later, on a rural road in Taizhou, Jiangnan Province, a young man in patched clothes ran home and shouted at his father and mother who was growing vegetables in the field with a newspaper in his hand that he had picked up from the county town that others had read and did not want. ”

Taizhou is located on the southeast coast of Jiangsu and Zhejiang, unlike the north, where no crops can be grown in the winter fields.

The young man's father and mother stopped what they were doing and wondered: "Eryun, what are you talking about?" ”

"This is the decree of His Royal Highness King Yan published in the Royal Weekly about the Protectorate of Andong Prefecture. There is a big island named Taiwan in the southeast of Taizhou, and if our family moves there, each person can get 300 acres of land, and the tax exemption will be ...... for three years."

The young man's father and mother changed when they heard this, and no one knew better than these poor families who had no land of their own since they were born and could only serve as tenants for the rest of their lives, the importance of a piece of their own land.

The states south of Jiangsu and Zhejiang are one of the few places that have not been warped in the chaos of the world at the end of the Sui Dynasty.

The local population is large, the products are abundant, the economy is developed, and the local families are strong and powerful, and there are few people who were affected in the late Sui Dynasty. Therefore, the local social class was fixed, the imperial court levied a lot of taxes, and the peasants were too greedy and coercive to plunder.

In the fourth year of Yonghui, there was also an incident in which Chen Shuozhen and her brother-in-law Zhang Shuyin led a peasant uprising in Qingxi County, Muzhou, and captured Muzhou and became emperor.

When the Luoyang Royal Weekly Branch published Li Yu's newspaper "Andong Prefecture's Measures for Dealing with Overseas Discoveries" spread to the areas south of Jiangsu and Zhejiang, the repercussions among the peasants were stronger than in Guanzhong, which was affected by the disaster this year.

There is no other reason, it is close, the river network of Jiangsu and Zhejiang is vertical and horizontal, the people generally know the water, there are many boats, it is convenient to go to Taiwan, and it is also convenient to return to their hometown.

What is lacking now is a leading helmsman, but Jiangsu and Zhejiang have developed shipbuilding and maritime trade industries, and there are many fishermen, so the people still can't find a helmsman who is familiar with Taiwan's sea conditions?

Compared with the poor people in Jiangsu and Zhejiang who love Taiwan, the poor people in the Central Plains and Guanzhong are more inclined to join the Andong Pioneer Group to go to Hokkaido, Sakhalin Island, and Chao Phraya Lake Governor's Mansion.

When Li Yu's articles published in "Overseas Gonzo" and Royal Weekly spread all over the world with the passage of time, craftsmen everywhere were also ready to move. With mining skills, when you go to dig gold and make a fortune, how can you stay in your hometown and be poor?

Soon after learning the news, the miners in the coastal states of Jiangnan Province took their relatives, friends, and neighbors as their organizations, brought their fellows to eat, and hired merchant ships that had been running sea trade on the sea all year round, and went to Taiwan to look for gold mines.

More miners are either on the road or calling friends for the road.

What are the ordinary people who are not satisfied with their lives and are destitute?

The hearts of many wealthy families are also alive, compared to ordinary people who want to change the status quo of life. As educated, knowledgeable, and literate, the wealthy family who claimed to be a scholar clan was different from ordinary people and valued more long-term interests, or in other words, the interests of a family that could not refuse to send their children to overseas organizations for reclamation.

In the article of King Yan, it is clearly stated that if you want a large piece of land, the price you pay is only to organize three families to move to the local area every 500 mu, which is a drop in the bucket compared to the income of 500 mu of land.

That's right, they don't plan to reclaim the land to grow food, didn't it be said in the "Overseas Gonzo" that Taiwan and Ryukyu are suitable for growing sugarcane, as long as they can grow sugarcane, they will definitely only make money and not lose money.

Therefore, for the wealthy family, this move is equivalent to an empty glove white wolf, and it must not be in vain.
