Chapter 556: Cutting the Territory and Establishing a Province (4)

Of course, this is just his assumption. Whether or not the pen, fun, and pavilion www.biquge.info can become a reality depends on many external factors. After all, what he could think of, other newspapers, it was impossible not to think of it. And most importantly, it is unknown when the new ten provinces will open the ban on newspapers.

In the end, many of the ten provinces are newly annexed. Daming's garrison in the local area did not say that he wanted to transfer the defense. It is therefore difficult to estimate when military control will be lifted.

But no matter what, he will go to these ten provinces. And he has all figured out the provinces he is going to.

Thinking like this, the corners of his mouth also rose slightly.

Xiao Zhang, who had been paying attention to him, immediately said unclearly: "President, what are you laughing at?" ”。

"Hehe, do you want to go home and have a look?". Lewis didn't respond directly, but changed the subject.

Xiao Zhang was stunned for a moment, and said, "She--President, my house has nothing to see, right?" ”。 Because he just got a Ming household registration, he is single. So he didn't have any savings, so he lived in a low-rent house that Daming specially gave to low-income people.

This is a real estate policy specially implemented by Daming in order to alleviate social contradictions. It was also the founding of the Ming Dynasty that established a capitalist form of government from the beginning of the founding of the People's Republic of China. It has made commerce one of the most important industries in the Ming Dynasty. Merchants are also like carp crossing the river, as many as cow hair.

Although this has brought unimaginable benefits to the economic development of the Ming Dynasty. However, it must be noted that this has also caused the social wealth to grow rapidly. Although it has not reached the point where 'the rich have no land and the poor have no place to stand', the phenomenon of 'the rich have a lot of money in their pockets, and the poor only have enough to eat' is still relatively common.

In addition, the prices of the Ming Dynasty, due to the impact of the war, there was a large inflation. The depreciation of the Chinese dollar and the rise in prices have caused a significant regression in the living standards of the people.

Therefore, at the present stage, the class contradictions have risen to a certain extent.

In order to ensure the long-term stability of the Ming Dynasty, the government deliberately increased the supply of low-rent housing at such a difficult time. Do your best to ensure the normal life of ordinary people.

Hearing Zhang's answer, Lewis knew he would be mistaken. He patted Xiao Zhang's head angrily, hating iron and steel: "Who said that a house is home?" I'm talking about Bangladesh. ”。

"This ---," Xiao Zhang hesitated a little before continuing: "A few years ago, the British bought grain on a large scale, resulting in almost no surplus grain for every household. It also coincided with the wrath of the gods, and there was a great drought for thousands of miles. My family of five all starved to death when they fled the famine.

Later, fortunately, the river god hung a curtain, so that I could meet a merchant ship and save my life. ”。

Lewis also experienced that drought. It is for this reason that his family, young and old, are all in the wilderness. Now that Xiao Zhang said it, he also came from the bottom of his heart.

He comforted a few words, suppressed his inner emotions, and responded: "Ceylon is also included in this cut-off and establishment of a province." Although it is still some distance from Bangladesh, it is enough to take a boat for ten days.

So I thought selfishly that I would move our newspaper office there. ”。

It's also hard to leave your homeland! Finally separated from his hometown, he wanted to settle in Ceylon.

Although in Bangladesh, Daming also has a leased city. However, the local newspapers are also controlled by the Ming government. Generally, private newspapers are not qualified to run newspapers in the local area.

Therefore, he could only choose Ceylon, which was a little farther away.

"Then the president, are you leaving Mingjing?" , Xiao Zhang said a little incredulously.

"What? You don't want to leave with the newspaper? Seeing Xiao Zhang's brows furrowed, Lewis asked in a critical voice.

Xiao Zhang shrank his head, and said with some fear: "Society--President, it's not that I don't want to, but in that place in Ceylon, the people lack education and are very ignorant. We're sending out the report there, and no one is watching! ”。

When he was rescued by a merchant ship, he passed through Ceylon. Even though that place was also occupied by the British. However, because the local gems are favored by the world, the British only want to find ways to obtain gems from the local area. Therefore, it did not educate the local people like the Ming Dynasty. Even if they publish newspapers, they can't read.

Moreover, most of the local people are poor people who do not have enough clothes and cannot eat.

Compared to Bengal, which was also ruled by the British, it was even worse.

If they publish a newspaper in the local area, it is estimated that few people will hear about it.

It's just that Lewis is not without consideration for this issue. And he didn't read the newspaper and make a decision with a hot head.

He smiled indifferently and explained, "You don't know. Ceylon was rescued by the Ming Dynasty in the bitter sea. The local people no longer have to endure the exploitation and exploitation of the British. Looking at the benevolent government of the Ming Dynasty to the land of Xinna, it is not the first etiquette education.

Therefore, in time, the local people will be enlightened. This is the news that Ceylon found out after it was included in the rule of the Ming Dynasty. It was then that he had the intention of returning to his hometown.

After all, he knew that with the mercantile policy that the Ming Dynasty had always practiced, it was impossible to implement a ban policy on many territories of Nanyang's overseas territories. Because they are all important business bases! As long as it is properly operated, it can become a cornucopia of vast resources.

So one day, these places will open the ban and allow free travel.

It's just that he didn't expect that this day would come so quickly. As a result, many of his ideas were not perfected.

Xiao Zhang couldn't see it far, so he muttered helplessly: "But education is not a day's work!" When they turn on their wisdom, our newspaper office should also drink the northwest wind. ”。 The "World Scandal" newspaper is no better than those official newspapers.

There is no other way to obtain funding than a fixed audience.

If they can't make money, their newspaper can't afford to support people, and it's difficult for it to operate.

Even the local people of Ceylon will open wisely. But sooner or later, it's hard to predict. It was a big risk for them to move the newspaper office in this way.

Xiao Zhang also relied on his close relationship with Lewis to dare to speak so unceremoniously. Otherwise, as usual, he would definitely take Lewis as the leader.

Lewis understands this.

In the end, the risk is too great. And according to common sense, this is indeed the truth.

However, Lewis has been in Mingjing for so many years, and it is not easy to occupy a place in many newspapers. It's not so stupid to do such a loss-making business. No matter how homesick you are, you won't do such a thing.

He pursed his lips and asked, "Did I say that I would move to Ceylon now?" ”。
