Chapter 722: The Emperor Shabu 'Man'
The Xin'an River is really very beautiful, and the large area of water far exceeds the famous West Lake.
It flows into the territory of Chun'an County, Jiangsu and Zhejiang Province from Jiekou Town, Shexian County, and is called Tongjiang River when Jiandemei Town and Lanjiang River meet, and Tonglu Town of Tonglu County joins with Fenshui River, it is called Fuchun River, which is the background of "Fuchun Mountain Residence Map", which is one of the top ten famous paintings in China. After the Fuchun River flows through Fuchun to Wenjiachuan and joins the Qujiang River in Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces, it is called the Qiantang River.
But the scenery of Xin'an River is not inferior to the scenery of Fuchun River, compared to Fuchun River, Wang Zhenyi feels that the Xin'an River in front of her is more beautiful, and there are really not many people here. In this era, unless it is a particularly famous scenic spot like West Lake, few people visit it. And the people who do this kind of thing are rich children who have money in their hands and no longer need to struggle for life, but enjoy life, which is not the same thing as the national tourism with developed transportation information in later generations.
Therefore, even if the reputation here has spread throughout Jiangsu and Zhejiang, it is not like the West Lake, which is crowded with people at the end of every decade or on vacation, and there are more people by the water than the fish in the lake.
Fuchunjiang was famous in China for a long time, and Emperor Qianlong made a big joke on the famous painting "Fuchun Mountain Residence Map". Ten years of Qianlong, a "Fuchun Mountain Residence Map" was enlisted into the palace, the Qianlong Emperor saw it and couldn't put it down, treasured it by his side, took it out from time to time to appreciate, and gave the poem inscription in the blank space of the 6-meter-long scroll, and covered the jade seal. Unexpectedly, the next year, he got another "Fuchun Mountain Residence Map". Two "Fuchun Mountain Residence Pictures", one is true and the other is fake, but the two paintings are too similar to each other, and it is difficult to distinguish between true and false.
Qianlong was very decisive and mistook Feng Jing for Ma Liang. This shows the true level of Emperor Qianlong's calligraphy and painting. But fortunately, he looked away, otherwise with his love for "Fuchun Mountain Residence", I don't know how many seals and inscriptions will be stamped on the national treasure paintings that have been handed down to future generations.
To call Wang Xichen, the emperor is born with a pair of discerning eyes, the scenery of the Xin'an River is not worse than the Fuchun River, the beautiful scenery of midsummer on both sides of the river, the peaks and mountains are stacked and green, the turquoise stone is quite beautiful, the green mountains and green trees, the Shating cottage, play along the river, it is really a good place to go in the midsummer season.
Especially the small islands or sandy places dotted in the river, the layout is dense and compact, and the changes are endless, just like the Fuchun River on the world-famous work, which is clear and simple, and the artistic conception is endless, showing the vast and continuous Jiangnan landscape to the fullest.
There are more mountains on both sides of this place than the Fuchun River, but it doesn't look cramped, it looks more like a good picture.
For example, the Haze Cloud Cave on the northern slope of Iron Cap Mountain. Every time before the rain, clouds escape from the cave, floating and scattering, becoming a unique spectacle. Then there is the gem mountain, which is located two miles north of Honey Mountain. At the top of the island, there are seven artificially excavated stone ponds, which are the relics left by the Southern Song Dynasty in Lin'an (Hangzhou) to build palaces, stele pavilions, archways and take a large number of tea garden stones, and the descendants call these seven stone pools Tianchi. The literati and writers of the Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties left a lot of poems here. Now these poems have been carved on the cliff face, which has a cultural charm.
There is also Guishan Mountain by the river, which is full of osmanthus flowers. It's just that the osmanthus is in full bloom in August, but the emperor came here but he was not blessed. In addition to osmanthus, Guishan also has peculiar geographical wonders. That is, the karst landform, the strange rocks are numerous, the winding paths are secluded, and the unique karst landform on the island also makes it enjoy the reputation of "water stone forest". This is often seen in the southwest, but is rare in the southeast.
Wang and Wang Zhenyi are fascinated, women, always unable to control beautiful things; Wang Zhenyu has been here once last time, but after a round of sightseeing, the impression is there, but it is not profound. And it's raining today, drizzle, at this time to take a boat to watch the scenery on the river, the beauty on both sides of the river, it's really a different feeling, although he is a boy, he is also fascinated.
That is, Wang Xichen has been here several times, and when he saw the surprised feelings of his wife and daughter, he was very proud and reserved, and his face was always light.
"Walk, it's not fun just standing. Put on the poncho and let's go to the sandbar first, maybe we can even pick up the eggs. Let the ship's cook cook and eat at noon. Wang Xichen was also interested today, first looked around, and with a wave of his hand, he was ready to take his family to the sand.
The entire Xin'an River basin is a densely populated area in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, with a total of more than 50 towns and towns and a population of more than 100,000.
On both sides of the river, it is easy to see one village after another, and some of the sandbanks in the river have been carved into fields. Wang Zhenyi's sister and brother are surprised to see anything, but Wang Xichen looks at the fields on the sandbar as if jumping into a basin of cold water, and the original fiery passion is destroyed by the cold water without too much.
Why?
Because Wang Xichen remembered the great opportunity he missed to make a fortune.
After the Hangzhou government received the notice from Nanjing, he should have immediately realized the big price increase of Xin'anjiang fields, but he ignored it. By the time he came to his senses, the price of Zhuangzi along the Xin'an River had risen by half. It's gone up by half.
By now, the prices of the grange here have doubled compared to last year. The Zhuangzi in Jiangsu and Zhejiang has doubled, which is not a small number.
This is a legitimate money business, but Wang Xichen missed the initial good time. Wait until everyone has eaten a big meal, and then live in it, you can only make a little money.
Longshan is not high, and braved the drizzle to climb the Shanghai Rui Temple, which has changed greatly from when Wang Xichen first saw it.
Hai Rui, you don't care if he really has political talent, or if he only has a dead eye without virtue and talent, people can persist for decades, that is really awesome.
Chen Ming has repeatedly criticized his political talent in private, but on the surface, he is still a famous historical minister and one of the representatives of the Qingtian Lord.
Hairui Temple now also has a sacrificial officer, a seven-rank title, and received the Wang family very warmly. Wang Xichen and the others stayed in Chun'an for seven days this time, and when he returned to Hangzhou to greet the organization to pick him up, news suddenly came from Nanjing-His Majesty will not go to Hangzhou for the time being.
Chen Ming is not coming. Of course, this is temporary. You know, the emperor's affairs are so much, and there are many broken things. The thing that stumbled Chen Ming's body in the past five months is the matter of North Korea.
Ever since North Korea began to pray for the annexation, immigrants have moved into North Korea one after another, and when North Korea officially became China's two provinces of Lelang and Andong, a large number of immigrants no longer moved into North Korea from the Yalu River alone, but also from the south.
With a land area of 200,000 square kilometers and a population of just over 4 million, China is definitely vast and sparsely populated, especially in South Korea, which has more plains.
And China's methods and means to deal with the original elites and powerful people in North Korea are not too drastic. Although the people of Anton Jin's family have fallen into bad luck, the other big families, as long as they don't jump ruthlessly, can still keep their existing wealth and land.
Clear the acres of land, determine the owner, change the title deed, and of course, the inevitable rent and interest reduction - this is a hard rule. There is also slave freezing, North Koreans have now become Chinese, and they are no longer allowed to be slaves, coupled with the abolition of many miscellaneous taxes and harsh policies, the feelings of the entire North Korean bottom aborigines towards China are rapidly warming.
It is not uncommon for organizations and examples of opposition to internal attachment and even armed resistance to internal resistance have also emerged within North Korea. There have been several incidents of armed bandits, attacks and assassinations of officials.
But it doesn't matter, a person whose status has reached the level of Chen Ming is already focusing on the overall situation.
The situation in the whole of North Korea is rapidly being brought into orbit by Chen Han, and some troubles are just covering up the clouds. And now why do you want to say that the North Korean thing has stumped Chen Ming? This is because it is time for the two provinces of Korea to pay their summer grain.
Then you can imagine what a mess it must have been.
It's really going to happen in places big and small, and the whole system is going to have problems. exchanging old grain for new grain, exchanging old grain for new grain, embezzlement, extortion......
Everything that appeared in the old China during the revolution is all here.
Thanks to the super small administrative units of North Korea, the system of 'township officials' was easily accepted by the Korean people, because in the eyes of many North Koreans, the so-called township officials were the county officials of the past.
North Korea's past county-level areas were too small. In a small country, there are eight 'provinces', just like the provinces of China, and there are prefectures under the provinces, and there are counties under the prefectures, and the land of those prefectures is about the same size as a county in China. Is the whole system a four-level structure, and it is completely suitable to guide the current Chinese system in. The county is the township, and the higher-level 'fu' has become the current 'county', while the 'dao' is divided into east and west or north and south, one is split into two, and the whole is turned into a 'fu', otherwise it is too big. So it is just right.
The smooth promotion of the township official system does not mean that North Korea's own interest groups have retreated, just like the many schemes, conspiracies, rumors and deceptions that China has generated at the beginning, and North Korea's local interest groups have also launched the first wave of counterattacks for their own interests.
When North Korea was 'annexed', they did not erupt en masse, and only Anton Kim was unlucky. And now they have erupted en masse, even though there are still some people in all the interest classes who firmly support many of Chen Han's policies, such as the Liheung Min clan and the Qingfeng Kim clan, they are still a minority compared to the two classes of aristocracy in the whole of Korea.
This is the virtue of the North Korean power class.
In other words, it is the nature of many people with vested interests, and their own interests are the most important.
North Korea erupted in a series of fights, rumors, scams and endless falsehoods, and the struggle between the tax department and the first two classes of aristocracy and landlords began at the end of April.
In fact, the officials of the entire Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces have been busy for several months, the palace has been repaired, and the people [rich people] are waiting for it, full of expectations, but the emperor is not available.
Are you playing with people?
But the reality is like this, the emperor is shabu the entire Jiangsu and Zhejiang, so what?!
The emperor just said that it is temporary, and it will not come for the time being, but he does not say that he will not come next, or that he will not come in the future?
Right? Is the human emperor wrong?
No matter how much the officials and people of Jiangsu and Zhejiang are looking forward to, they can only wait for the news of Nanjing.
Chen Han is different from the previous Manchu Qing Dynasty, in the past, the emperor stopped in Nanjing, the governor of Jiangsu and Zhejiang, the garrison generals of the Eight Banners, and the capital all asked for a meeting. But this is no longer the Qing Dynasty.
The past set is no longer popular, and the cadres in Jiangsu and Zhejiang can only wait.
……
Hongju House, formerly Chungcheongnam-do, Repulse Bay area.
The war had completely destroyed everything here, and years had passed, and the arrival of peace had far from healed the wounds.
It is said that the Manchus once went on a killing spree here, because the intricate islands and coastlines around Repulse Bay were the hiding places of many rebels. In order to destroy the supply base of the rebel army, the Manchus burned and looted here, almost razing this generation to the ground.
And now there are more villages with unique architectural styles in this land, and there are also more new villages that have immigrated to this land.
The early immigrant villages had already opened up farmland and built their own houses; Late arrivals have just come ashore.
For immigrants, Chen Han has a set of preferential treatment and resettlement measures. At least the migrants don't have to worry about their own food rations.
Siam's early indica rice has long been piled up in the granaries of Jeju Island, this rice has a high rice yield, less stickiness, crisp rice, easy to break when processed, poor quality, and no nutrients. But it can be used to fill the stomach.
Another way for migrants to supplement their food supply is to develop land on the spot.
Repulse Bay is different from Jeju Island, which has a thin soil layer and is not a suitable place for large-scale agricultural production. In the history of Korea, Jeju has always existed as a pasture and fishing port, and agricultural production is weak.
The land here in Repulse Bay has better natural conditions and is suitable for agricultural production. Even if you can't grow rice for a while, you can also grow potatoes, the growth period of potatoes is not long, the yield is large, potatoes are rich in vitamins, and can be used as a staple food and vegetables, which can effectively supplement the food of immigrants.
Of course, sweet potatoes will do the same. It's just that the migrants who have just come ashore now don't have enough time.
Sweet potatoes have a longer growing cycle and prefer temperature and cold, while the winter in South Korea came earlier and was colder in this era.
Night has fallen over the land.
And a new village by the sea has just finished its work, a large group of immigrants, and North Koreans who have come to work. Yes, the North Koreans came to work. With wages and food, of course, it can attract many North Korean civilians.
In the past few months, there has been an influx of North Korean civilians working in Repulse Bay, which was originally inaccessible, and as for why these North Korean aborigines can know, it is of course because of propaganda.
After entering North Korea, the Chen Han government also organized a propaganda team, as well as the popularization of township officials, and after the original county yamen became a township office, this news was still very easy to popularize.
And these North Korean people are so exploited so badly that a little benefit can make them flock to it.
And Chen Ming also considered digesting Lelang Anton as soon as possible, so he increased financial allocation, recruited workers in the form of wages and food, communicated with the ordinary poor in North Korea, accelerated the construction of resettlement points, and accelerated the restoration of fields. There is also the need to increase communication and understanding between indigenous peoples and immigrants.
"Queue up, queue up, all queue up......"
"Wash your hands before queuing, those who don't wash their hands are not allowed to eat......"
The official staff of the settlement continued, but the settlement had just started less than 10 days ago, and many indigenous Koreans had just arrived a few days ago, and one by one they were reincarnated like starving ghosts.
The immigrants, who had been living in a concentration camp in the port area of Yantai for a period of time before coming to North Korea, had become accustomed to these outlandish demands.
Do not grow long hair, wash your hands before eating, wash your hands after urinating and defecating, and do not drink raw water......
