Chapter 462: The Thief of the Country

The Huang family's army entered the city to take over every city, and for a short time, of course, it was all under military management. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

The common people did not feel anything about the change of owners of the city, and life was still the same, but they immediately found that life would be much better, because everyone was given a lot of well-paid job opportunities.

Every prefecture and county on Hainan Island is recruiting strong laborers on a large scale, and has hired a large number of people under the favorable conditions of 20 yuan a day for food and housing, and even the healthy women are given 10 yuan a day, and the specific work is to repair roads, bridges, reservoirs, excavate and dredge rivers, make brick embryos, transport ore, and so on.

Originally, the common people who heard that Hainan Island was attacked by pirates were at a loss, but suddenly felt that the world was reversed now, and the pirates were completely doing good deeds and not paying food.

Why does everyone say that it was pirates who captured Qiongzhou? Is there such a good pirate in the world? They are much kinder than the officials of the Ming Dynasty, and they do good things like building bridges and paving roads.

Soon the common people knew a person, Huang Sheng, the champion of the Ming Dynasty, the king of the pirates, Guo Dawang, who was forced by the prestige of the god of war of the champion prince, chose to accept Zhao'an, and surrendered a long time ago.

Hainan Island is isolated overseas, the Huang family blockaded the Qiongzhou Strait with the navy, and the armor protection joint defense system is being implemented on the island, and the imperial court cannot obtain the situation here at all.

The Huang family has sufficient money and food, and this time they are prepared and fully prepared, and they will not collect any harsh taxes and miscellaneous taxes on Hainan Island for the time being.

In fact, Hainan is too poor, and in the absence of a large amount of investment, relying on the existing state to provide taxes can only force the people to be cornered, and even then they cannot collect the melons and dates.

The Huang family can see the taxes with blood and tears obtained by the common people, and generously exempt the entire Qiongzhou Mansion from money and grain for three years.

In the past, the common people who were exempted from taxes by the imperial court did not get any benefits at all, and they were happy with the officials and officials, and they would burst out with infinite enthusiasm to urge the payment of taxes, because how much they collected meant how much they could share privately.

No, now that Hainan Island is under military control, all the old officials and officials have become laborers, and they are paid according to their work like the small people who are promoted to fight.

The Huang family ransomed the acres of land owned by the landlords in the township, confiscated the property of the local tyrants who were very angry with the people, and improved the infrastructure of some cities on Hainan Island, so as to bring benefits to the local people, so they did not worry that they would not support the rule of the Huang family.

The terrain of Hainan Island is high in the middle and low in all sides, and most of the relatively large rivers originate in the central mountainous area, forming a radial water system, so it is common for some of the rivers here to flow to the west, and there are more than 100 rivers that flow into the sea on the whole island.

The construction of reservoirs to store fresh water into the sea can not only ensure the harvest of drought and flood, but also use the drop to provide power for hydraulic machinery such as hydraulic grinders and forging hammers.

Such a huge investment will cost too much real money! It doesn't matter, Huang Sheng doesn't keep a penny of money outside of his body, invest, reinvest, and do his best to develop if the money is not enough.

Hainan Island went down without much effort, Huang Dongshan left behind to take command, Huang Mingli went back with more than half of the navy and all the cargo ships, they will soon come back, and a large number of materials, equipment and more than 100,000 people will be sent.

How many people are there on Hainan Island, including the Huang family? Without accurate official statistics, Huang Dongshan estimates that even the mountain dwellers will not exceed 700,000.

There are too many mountain people in the mountains who are not satisfied with the king, how to deal with it? "Under the whole world, it is not the king's land, and the shore of the land is not the king's minister."

There is no specialization in the Huang family system, first give everyone a chance to adapt to the management of the Huang family, and the black sheep will not be tolerated, there is no unfair ethnic policy here, no matter who it is, it is a legal criterion.

This is Huang Sheng's iron-fisted side, he will not bully them for other nationalities, and of course he will not get used to them, and he must thoroughly integrate the nation spiritually and culturally.

Huang Dongshan began to encroach on the central mountainous area, and he had a way to form more than a dozen armed working groups with 100 mountain infantry, 100 musketeers, and 20 local guides who could speak the language.

Tasks: Go into the mountains to check the household registration, survey the mountains and rivers and landforms, make a detailed map of Hainan Island, make a sand table with more than 500 armed people in the main Li nationality settlement area, and recruit laborers to build simple roads to reach the mountain settlements.

The private soldiers of the Huang family did not clash fiercely with the Li army and people for the time being, and adopted a policy of softness, giving them gifts to make the Li people less resistant, creating an opportunity for the Huang family to get close.

This is the most important point, and only by getting close to the masses can we understand the people's feelings and go deep among the masses. Even if you are witty, you are not far away!

The gift to the people in the mountains is the simplest, a pound of salt is enough to make them grateful to Dade.

Although the Huang family occupies several islands, they do not produce much salt at all, because this job is labor-intensive and the gold content is too low, and the Huang family has always had insufficient labor in the past, so there is no large-scale construction of salt pans to dry salt.

The salt of the Ming Dynasty is so expensive, causing many poor people to not afford to eat, why do everyone think that the gold content of the lucrative salt industry is too low?

Because the common people buy salt to eat, they actually pay taxes, and most of the taxes are added to the refueling of cars with the country, and it is a joke that PetroChina and Sinopec, which produce gasoline, have huge losses every year.

The salt produced by the Ming Dynasty is enough to supply the market, but the salt without salt is private salt, and the amount provided by the salt introduction is probably not enough to meet the needs of one-third of the people of the Ming Dynasty.

In the Ming Dynasty, it was possible to pick a load of illicit salt to sell, and it was possible to be caught and killed severely, but there was no to transport a boatload of illicit salt to sell.

What is the rationale for this? Hey! This is the reason for the thief of the country. Boatloads of illicit salt are all those with vested interests, and of course they are not guilty.

The Huang family did not sell smuggled salt and compete with bureaucratic capital for their vested interests, but they also went directly to Yancheng to ship it into a ship and supply it to the people in the system according to the plan, and the Huang family also needed salt to marinate a large number of fish on the marine fishing work boat.

Of course, the salt workers in the salt fields of Yancheng depend on salt for food, they are salt producers, they are hereditary, and the families are so poor that they can barely wear pants, and too many people work naked.

The salt lads who work all day have completed the delivery of salt, and the remaining salt at their disposal is satisfied as long as they throw away the labor cost and make a profit.

It is a pity that the private salt is monopolized by bureaucratic capital, but it is not up to them, if they offend the salt merchants and do not buy the salt produced in their salt farms, the sweat of the salt lads will be in vain, and they do not have the ability to smuggle the salt out.

Why don't producers get the benefits at all? That's right, those who are all over Luo Qi are not silkworm breeders.

Isn't it surprising that, even in modern times, construction laborers who have built countless high-rise buildings in big cities live in basements or dirty construction sites. The regime that claims to serve the people is nothing more than that, and the evil feudal dynasty is of course even more violent!

The salt butchers of the salt works do not have big customers at all. The Huang family is a maverick, coming from the sea, and belongs to a lawless existence, who dares to stop the ship for inspection? It has always been the Huang family that checks whether other people's merchant ships are entrained. Who dares to brush the beard of the Huang family?

The Huang family, a powerful big family, only bullies the strong, never bullies the small people, and the price of buying salt is higher than that of other officials.

The workers in the Huang Sheng system are all highly paid, and if they really dry salt by themselves, I am afraid that the cost price of the product will be much higher than that of going directly to Yancheng to buy it.

Therefore, Huang Shengli took advantage of the convenience of shipping to go directly to several government-run salt factories to buy salt, unwilling to produce it himself, nor did he do business of selling illegal salt, so as not to offend a large amount of bureaucratic capital.

Development is the last word, in the process of development and growth, the road of win-win cooperation can be long-term, and the transformation of the Ming Dynasty can not be rushed, and it must be gradual with the growth of strength.
