Chapter 597: The Emperor Is Spreading Rumors
Xiangzhou [Alaska], the Golden River, the Golden Sea, countless rumors spread rapidly in Nanjing City, and Xiangzhou became famous. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
It is no longer simply the origin of white auspicious white fur, and the rapid replacement of fur by gold has become a new synonym and new symbol of Xiangzhou. Soon, these true and false rumors spread to the whole Jiangnan. I believe that with the passage of the whole year, this news will spread all over the country.
Because the flow of people in and out of Nanjing during this time period is absolutely huge, the specific number of values is completely astronomical. And this rumor is spread by the state behind it, without half a point of suppression, without any constraints, the speed of transmission is really faster than imagined.
Of course, as fast as this spreads, there is also the content of the message. -- Gold itself is very attractive, and the icy and snowy place is still the Golden River and the Golden Sea. Talking about gold in terms of 'river' and 'sea' is too impactful for countless ordinary people.
But is such a rumor credible? And the name of Xiangzhou is very auspicious and beautiful, but everyone knows that it is a ghost place where birds don't. It's winter for most of the year, and the temperature is generally dozens of degrees below zero, and how hard life there can be, it's devastating to think about, and it's completely hellish. Coupled with the long distance, even though many people have golden eyes, the fear of various reasons makes them choose to wait and retreat.
It's a big deal to go back next year.
If the gold there is really a big river and sea, then it is far from being cleaned in a year. It's not too late to go next year, and after a year of development, the conditions will definitely be much better than this year.
But there are still many people who would rather believe in it than believe in it, and they have embarked on the road of gold rush without hesitation. Among them, the background of the newly established Xiangzhou Mining Development Company and the preferential conditions it gave also added a heavy weight to the confidence of these people.
The sooner the gold diggers rush to Xiangzhou, the higher the discount. For example, the gold that should be paid to the company, the logistics benefits that you are entitled to, and so on. The first batch of gold diggers who rushed to Xiangzhou were directly the third-level customers of Xiangzhou Mining Development Company, the second and third batches were fourth-level customers, and then next year they will be fifth-level customers.
The Xiangzhou Mining Development Company is only going to transport three groups of people to Xiangzhou next year, because the gold-producing area is still very desolate and primitive, and it is really going to happen if too many people are transported at once. As the discoverers of this gold mine, the Overseas Exploration Bureau enjoys the profit share of this gold mineral for ten years, of course, they want to completely develop the gold resources of Xiangzhou in one day, but they are very aware of the rules above. Not to mention how big the Xiangzhou Mining Development Company is, just say that as the first person to eat crabs, it is also enjoying preferential treatment.
Gold diggers who rushed to the Xiangzhou mining area this year can freely control the entire mining area, but by next year, some places are likely to have been branded and become the territory of other companies. Therefore, this 'first' is of great significance to everyone.
This is the case in China now, many industries have set levels for practitioners, because of the influence of the government and the military. The points rating spread in the land of China hundreds of years ago.
Not only China, but also some industries in Europe have quickly accommodated this system. The most obvious is the crew members who travel to and from the sea. The system, of course, originated in China and is a policy for all seafarers registered in China.
The Chinese government requires all seafarers to rate their crew's work on a scale in terms of skill, discipline, bravery, character, etc., especially when the ship is on a long voyage, within the score framework set by the government, through a sub-score and a total score of their various categories, and then rate the various types of seafarers. In the future, whether they are still working on this ship or not, they can take their crew certificates and go to the labor market to find new jobs.
The fifth-class captain is definitely more trustworthy than the first-class captain, and the third-class helmsman will also be paid less than the fourth-class helmsman. China's maritime industry, especially the ocean-going sector, has just begun, and it cannot be compared with the West at all. After such a policy was introduced by the West, Europeans who paid more attention to economic interests quickly gave a copy, whether it was Britain, the Netherlands, or France, Spain, Portugal, Sweden, or even Denmark, all of them used this set of guidelines, and then easily caught dozens of captains above level 5 in their own domestic private market, while the highest level of Chinese private sea captains is only a third level!
China has opened up, and the influence of various exchanges between the East and the West has always been on both sides, rather than China simply absorbing the nourishment of the West, but has not contributed to the evolution of Western culture and civilization.
Although in the current situation, China does not contribute much to the West in mathematics, physics and chemistry.
Chen Ming lay on the couch and listened to Liu Wu's report on the situation in Nanjing.
In a short period of time after the year after the year, the stories of the Golden River and the Golden Sea spread like a plague to the whole of Nanjing, to the whole of Jiangnan, and to half of China. Xiangzhou also received the title of a golden state.
At this point, the second step is ready to go.
Although judging from the relevant reports of national security and the police, many people are still hesitant about many versions of the story of Xiangzhou.
This is normal.
Since ancient times, the first people to eat crabs have been the most outstanding people in a group.
Although rumors alone can make many people 'believe', if the degree of this rumor is too much, it is difficult to come true. The eyes of the common people are bright, and the hearts of the common people are also stupid, and the proportion of fools is not low. Or many people call it 'herd mentality'.
But in any case, not many people question Xiangzhou's gold anymore. When things have developed to this point, the court has not come out to stop them, which is the court endorsing these 'mythical stories' in disguise. Even if some cautious elites still have reservations about all these stories, rather than unreserved trust, at least, no one openly questions them.
That's enough.
Although the gold of the Yukon Territory of Canada cannot be compared with the 'rumors', the Yukon River is really a golden river, and the Yukon is indeed a sea of gold. As long as you work hard after you go, you won't be able to suffer.
However, as Chen Ming expected, although Xiangzhou gold was widely spread, few Chinese associated it with the Americas. Chen Ming knew that he, the emperor, was going to play the second move.
Empty and fertile North America, the great plains of the central and eastern regions, a godsend. If he wants to really gain a foothold in this land, now, now, he has to make countless people have a strong interest in that fertile land.
So how do you get the Chinese people to be interested in the land thousands of miles away? Especially now that China is in a period of fierce economic recovery, Chen Ming cannot say that everyone's life is getting better day by day, but the vast majority of people's lives are getting better and better.
Even if it's from hungry to having a soft and full progress! That's progress, too, and it's a huge step forward.
When there is hope, then the present hardship is not really hardship, but the darkness before the dawn. It is not easy for Chinese to let these people who are at the bottom of the income but can see the light take the initiative to move thousands of miles away. It's unbearable that Chen Ming had so many people in his last life, did he run to his ancestral hometown when he was old?
Take his third grandfather as an example, when he followed the People's Liberation Army to liberate the southwest, he stayed in Guiyang. In the early decades, I was working, and I didn't break off the news from my hometown in the middle, but I rarely came back, because there was no such condition at that time. After he retired, he had time, but when he was sixty or seventy years old, he went back to his hometown almost every other year, traveled thousands of miles, and lived for two or three months at a time. Until the body really can't do it.
Chinese's feelings for their hometown cannot be explained in one sentence or two sentences, and it cannot be summed up by a person who leaves his hometown and returns to his roots, and the fox dies.
If Chen Ming's third grandfather can still be explained by family affection, then the elder in Chen Ming's hometown and Chen Ming's grandfather, that is, his great-grandfather, are obviously not pure blood and family affection.
The old man was captured by the fruit army in his early years, and he fought against the war, and later he also voted for rabbits. I only went back to my hometown in the fifties, and it has been fifteen or sixteen years since I was taken away by Lazhuang Ding, and no one in my family has died. But after he retired, he still ran home in his seventies and eighties.
When Chen Ming was young, he also ate a piece of white chocolate from the old man, which was the first time he saw white chocolate in his life, so he remembered it very deeply. And for the elderly, hometown should no longer be a simple concern of blood and family, but also a deep sustenance of soul feelings.
Of course, these are all the first generation, to the second, third, and fourth generations, hehe. That's just a symbol.
When there is hope in life, it is difficult to mobilize Chinese people to emigrate to other places. Chen Ming was also prepared to make him a 'heavenly anger and resentment' when the time came. But on the basis of this psychological bottom line, he still hopes to stimulate the subjective automaticity of the people as much as possible.
So how do you do that?
Chen Ming's idea is still a rumor.
ā¦ā¦
During the Lantern Festival, the moon on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month is round and bright.
Zhao Si'er's house could not see a glimmer of future light in the dim light. The small flame the size of a bean doesn't even seem to illuminate the table, as if it were a foreshadowing of the family's fate. There is no light, no hope, no future......
God opened his eyes and asked Tian Wang to come to the calf without going to the police, otherwise Zhao Si'er would have to be sentenced to a year and a half for the things he did on Tian's farm. The biggest pillar of the entire Zhao family is gone, and the Zhao family is really hopeless.
Zhao Cripple's face was wooden, looking at the window where the moonlight was already on the ground, and he didn't know what to think in his mind.
Zhao Si'er was lying on the bamboo bed on the side, her buttocks facing up. He has been working on the Tianjia Farm for so long, and Xiaodong Xiaoxi has touched a lot, because of his hatred for Tian Wanglai, he has secretly sabotage. Not all of these things were done seamlessly, but no one had taken the initiative to expose him before. Because what Tian Wang came to do, it was very inauthentic.
Instead, the farmworkers under his command were secretly happy to see Tian Wang pay the 'price'. And everyone knows that Zhao Si'er's family is having a difficult life. His mother and his mother-in-law worked in the silk reeling factory in Guanzhuang Bridge, and although the latter looked at the salary of the company, there were also many places to deduct the money. The income is far from wonderful.
The family worked hard and could only take care of the mouths of the old and the young, and life was very difficult.
But with the new introduction of the "Whistleblowing Reward System" launched by the state, Tian Wanglai also kept pace with the times, and he also made a whistleblowing reward, and then Zhao Sier was exposed and reported, and it is estimated that with Tian Wanglai's stinginess, at most he will give the whistleblower a bag of old rice.
But for Zhao Si'er, it is a disaster from the sky.
Tian Wanglai knew that his reputation in his hometown was very bad, and he didn't dare to really force people to die in a household register, but he was still angry and carried a stick and beat Zhao Si'er. At the same time, Zhao Sier was kicked out of the farm, and he didn't even have the basic salary and New Year's goods that should be given at the end of the year.
It happened a few years ago, and it has been more than half a month now, and the Zhao family is sitting on empty water. Although his mother and his daughter-in-law's workers were not dismissed, they were also deliberately found fault by the supervisor of the factory and deducted their money. Tian Wanglai is also a minority shareholder of Guanzhuangqiao Textile Factory......
The family is not cornered, but they are also at the end of their rope.
Although Zhao Cripple knew that his son did it for the sake of the family, his simple moral concept still made him feel ashamed, and he raised a son who stole things. Stealing the land and peeling such an owner is also stealing, he is ashamed, he can't hold his head up.
But what can the Zhao family do?
"Dad, what do you mean?"
Zhao Si'er, who was lying on the bed, looked at his father who didn't speak for so long, and was a little anxious. Without paying attention, a bullet of reeds appeared from the reed sleeve under him. The Zhao family doesn't have so many quilts!
The bamboo bed was covered with rice stalks, and on top of the rice stalks was this reed cover, and only the quilt was stuffed with cotton.
"It's too far away......"
"It's just too far away for no one to fight with us." The Zhao family is now in such a miserable state, what choice is there left? It's the fifteenth day of the first month, and tomorrow is the last day to finalize. If you miss this opportunity, you won't have this store. Now Zhao Si'er wants to be a soldier and can't catch up with his efforts, he is too old.
Poor households like the Zhao family can now choose to go to Nanyang, but they have to go to Nanmingzhou more than Nanyang. Because the imperial court can now provide loans to the latter's immigrants, and can also allocate basic security land. Yes, compared to the 'government loan to buy land' in Nanyang and Northeast China, the policy enjoyed by immigrants in Nanming is to directly divide land. Therefore, under the premise of immigration, the Zhao family is more enthusiastic about Nanmingzhou than Nanyang. Anyway, they all emigrated.
"That's how our family is now. Either go to Nanmingzhou, or, or the son will sign up to dig for gold. Zhao Si'er completely lost the courage to fight hard in his hometown. Some things can be done but not publicized, and now everyone knows that he is a thief, and his son is called a 'little mouse'. In this place, can their Zhao family still stay?
Zhao Si'er, who has fallen into self-violence in the past few days, sometimes thinks, why didn't God give birth to him in that America? In such a big place, so few people, the land is cultivated in blocks.
This year, this piece will be planted with spring grain, that piece will be planted with autumn grain, and then there will be a piece of fallow, and the crops on the three pieces of land will be rotated here, with a three-year cycle. I can let the ground rest again and nourish the ground well.
They also plough with horses. How deep can a horse plough with such small strength? What good crops can be grown? As for what bullshit horse yoke and heavy plow, Zhao Si'er didn't think that thing was as deep as an ox plow. In addition to being faster than a cow!
This is a very simple peasant thinking, and the only advantage of horse farming over ox farming is that it ploughs the land faster.
Zhao Si'er didn't want to be a foreigner by himself, he didn't have this concept in his mind, he was just simply envious of people who had so much land. It's not like them here, not to mention that the boss has a piece of land for a year, that is, a season of empty space, which can make people feel distressed to death.
Zhao lame sighed leisurely. (To be continued.) )
