Chapter 669: Keep an eye on the queen's family's every move

August 11 is another great day.

Chen Ming sat on the throne and accepted the salute of the hundred officials.

The civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty were filled with joy at this moment, because the news of Seoul had been transmitted back to China. Not only the flying pigeons, but also the detailed reports were also delivered to Nanjing City by flying scissors bow clipper. The entire military and civilians in Nanjing knew that Chen Zhongsheng and Sun Xu had done a big thing, and their grand act directly overthrew Anton Kim and directly pushed the fruit of North Korea to maturity.

This is a great victory.

Chen Han not only recovered the former Han land, but also took the whole of Korea.

Regardless of the fact that there are still a few rotten Confucians among the people, there is a lot of dancing in the Chen Han Dynasty anyway.

In one sentence, that is, jubilant.

And that's not all.

The second batch of immigrants to North America also began to depart, and then there was good news from foreign trade, although there were no Spaniards in China's foreign trade this year, and there were almost no French, but the British ships to China did not decrease at all.

On the contrary, with the French merchant ships blocked, the British saw an opportunity to make a fortune themselves, spending 30% more on tea than in previous years.

In the past, in the United Kingdom, because of the high [doubled] tea tax, tea smuggling was serious. Among them, their good friends Big Windmill and Gallic Rooster are the two main forces. Regardless of the fact that the French and Dutch buy a large amount of tea from China every year, in fact, the sales of tea in their own country are not large, and they mainly smuggle it to Britain. Without the exorbitant tea tax, the benefits of smuggling tea are definitely as high as those of their counterparts in the 21st century.

Now the French are stuck by the neck of the British, and the number of French merchant ships coming to China has been greatly reduced, and this year there are only five in total. The Dutch smuggling ships were also greatly troubled by the British blockade, which naturally left enough market space for legitimate British tea, which was the main reason for the explosion of the British tea trade this year. This is great news for China.

It is a good thing that this outbreak of the British can last for a long time.

This year, the east-west trade has not shrunk in terms of overall trading volume. That's a win!

And the news that the French and the Dutch are getting closer is most likely true.

Although this news has still not been confirmed definitively.

But at the end of July came news from Batavia that the Dutch were resting on the fortifications of Batavia again. Hehe, after seeing this news, Chen Ming only had hehe. Don't blame him for thinking too much, the news coming from this point in time is too ambiguous.

"Five years after the founding of the Han Dynasty, the foundation has gradually stabilized, the people's livelihood has recovered, and the national situation has been rejuvenated.

"I remember it all."

"There will be a great reward in the future."

North America has already inserted a kick, and the entire west coast of North America is Chinese, and there will be a lot of room for the nobles to insert it. Chen Ming didn't think about blocking them all in those ports. And after these people sent people to North America to see the field in real time, even before the first batch of immigrants arrived in North America, many news that the expeditionary force returned by Shun had confirmed the superior natural environment of North America.

Now Chen Ming wants to give a signal to these powerful people who seem to be waiting for the birds - they are allowed to show their strength in North America. And not just limit your steps to Hanjin and Tokyo [San Francisco, Los Angeles].

"North America is a new place to expand, and thanks to the support of all of you, we have been able to gather so many immigrants. I am here to thank all of you. ”

"The Americas have been reclaimed for foreigners for more than 200 years, but because of geography, they are mostly gathered on the east coast of South America and North America.

"Today, tens of thousands of Chinese people have crossed the ocean to set foot in North America, and have opened up 100,000 acres of land and 100 villages, and established our own homes. It has laid a solid foundation for the economy of our Chinese people in North America. I believe that with the joint efforts of all of you and the people of the world in the future, this new land of North America will inevitably grow stronger and stronger day by day. ”

If this was at the banquet, Chen Ming would have to make three bowls in a row with the ministers. It's a pity that this is the court, this is the Fengtian Temple.

But even so, the ministers of Chen Han who walked out of the palace all had ruddy faces, as if they had drunk a bowl of mellow wine.

The emperor wants the big guys to build a beautiful home in North America together, isn't this just allowing the big guys to develop freely in North America? Although it's too late to say this now. Ge Er's guy and his colleagues from the Nanyang Department and the Nanming Prefecture Department had to fight, and the temptation of holding 20 acres of land forced to pull a large number of immigrants from Fujian, and the third wave of immigrants was already about to be gathered.

But there's next year, isn't it?

The eyes of the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty were all staring at North America, and the imperial court's investment in North America was far greater than that of Nanmingzhou. Even Ge Er's guy saw this, and it became a big magic weapon when he pulled people.

How many immigrants are there in Nanmingzhou? It's been in development for a few years, and the total number of people is still far from the 100,000 in the first year in North America.

And think of the terrible rate of immigration in North America, 100,000 a year.

How long did Niu Niu operate in the thirteen states to have two million people. And China is going to pull 100,000 people a year.

Although Chen Ming prepared hundreds of large ships for immigrants alone, he also transferred almost all the ocean-going merchant ships under the China Foreign Trade Company and the ocean-going fleet in the army's logistics department. It is unlikely that this number will continue to be maintained until next year, but the effect is definitely leveraged.

The huge fleet brought not only the population, but also everything needed to start a new life, from grain seeds to chickens and ducklings to sickles and hoes. This is also a major reason for the large number of Chinese goods flowing into Mexico.

Otherwise, how could an ocean-going ship carry only about 300 people? Stuff it, squeeze it, five or six hundred people are usual. China's migration routes were ports of call and supply along the way, whether they were Sakhalin, the Aleutian Islands, or North America.

The work of the First Bureau of Overseas Exploration is very solid, and they have marked the west coastline of North America with suitable places to land. This brings too much convenience to immigration work.

Anyway, when the good news of North Korea just came, Chen Ming's spit on North America, in the eyes of the noble ministers of the Manchu Dynasty, was also a double happiness comparable to the former.

When Liu Dezhao returned to his house after work in the evening, he saw his son, nephew, nephew, and important guests all gathered in the lobby, waiting for his arrival.

On the chair and taking a sip of ginseng soup, Liu Dezhao felt that his body was finally lighter.

Although the morning meeting made him very happy, Liu Dezhao was not young, and it was not a joke after a day's work.

"You've heard about it too. Let's talk about it, how will my Liu family take the lead this time? ”

Among the first batch of people who signed up to immigrate to North America, of course, there were people from the Liu family, led by a younger brother of Liu Dezhao, a forty-year-old man, who had no great ability, and was very good at taking care of trivial things, and was now the chief of Liujia Village outside Tokyo.

But Liu Dezhao didn't think that was enough. If he can, he hopes that Liujia Village can become Liujia Town, and Liujia Town can become Liucheng, which will become the support point for his Liu family to gain a foothold in the Americas in the future. Before, Chen Ming's mouth hadn't opened yet, and no one dared to act rashly. But now, Liu Dezhao, who is in China, must continue to invest money, manpower and material resources in North America.

"Manpower, material resources!" This is also financial resources, as long as there is money now, there will be no shortage of people and goods.

Chen Ming only learned after investigation that those who were sent by the Liu family to the first batch of North American immigrants actually took a share of the Liu family's money. And that's what almost all powerful families do. This is like an online game, a new game with a way to make money in the open beta, the major game unions, and even Xiaokai and the second generation have joined in, these people have a large number of people behind them, and they can concentrate on doing big things from the beginning, and the development speed and level are naturally much higher than ordinary people.

And Liujia Village and its similar Yaojia Village, Zhengjia Village, Shijia Village, etc., are just like those trade union gangs that have just started the game.

In the brand-new chess game of the Americas, it can be said that it is difficult for ordinary immigrants to have the opportunity to surpass these magnates, except for the Gm of the Chen Han court, the real game participants are only those Chen Han's noble and important ministers. The future South American countries may not be able to start developing little by little from these inconspicuous small villages, and in the future, South America will become a continent composed of countless scattered small countries like the occupation areas composed of these small villages now, and how long this pattern can be maintained in the end, and who will be the final victors, it is not something that Chen Ming can imagine and determine.

"Dad, there are really not many people who are willing to go to North America now." If the Liu family wants to gain a foothold in the Americas and lay a good foundation, they can't expect to spend money on everything, right? It is necessary to exert influence and attract ordinary people to join voluntarily.

Also, Liujia Village is not for the purpose of creating a prosperous village or even a town within the boundaries of Tokyo. That was to prepare for the opening up of South America in the future. It takes people who bring them together who are willing to go with them when the time comes. This one is too hard, too hard.

"There are always poor eggs in the world, and the sieves of each county must also make people out." For the sake of the future, the Liu family must gnaw down these hard bones.

Liu Dezhao has not contacted the local government for a long, long time, but this does not mean that he is not aware of the local people's livelihood.

After four or five years of recuperation, the imperial court lightly punished the meager endowments, and the landlords reduced rents and interest rates - they could not help but reduce rents and interest rates.

Factories and farms compete for labor, and the immigration bureau is a bottomless pit that devours the poor.

There are fewer poor people in rural China, and the labor force has also decreased, especially in recent years, the newspaper bombardment, information bombardment, and the testimony of immigrants have really relieved the burden of pressure on China itself.

These are the destabilizing factors in society. When there is too much accumulation, it triggers peasant uprisings; When it accumulates to the point of being overwhelmed, it is the rise of the dragon and the snake and the collapse of the dynasty.

Why has there not been an earth-shaking peasant uprising in Europe that has been oppressed so much in recent centuries that the peasants and working class have not broken out? And just a capitalist revolution?

That is because there is a new continent as a place for their pressure to pour out, once the pressure at home is too great, countless peasants and bankrupts who have nothing will cross the ocean and start their new lives in the strange and vast new continent. The famous French short story master Maupassant's "My Uncle Hule", Chen Mingke has always remembered it vividly.

In the mouth of the Chinese teacher, this article reveals and satirizes the estrangement of people in class society by portraying the different performances and psychology of the Philip couple when they find that the rich have become poor and poor.

But the bigger impression of Chen Ming in this article now is - the New World.

Every Sunday, we have to go for a walk on the beach pier in full clothes. At that time, whenever he saw a ship coming in from afar, my father would always say his unchanging words: "Alas! What a surprise it would have been if Hule had been in this boat! ”

His father's younger brother, Uncle Hule, was the only hope for the family at that time, and before that it was the terror of the family.

…………

Uncle Huller, having eaten up his share of the inheritance, took my father's share of it very much. As was customary at the time, he was sent on a merchant ship from Havre to New York and sent to America.

……

What a perfect new continent.

With this treasure land, there is a place for social waste to be piled up throughout Europe. Moreover, European society itself has the dregs of the army.

China needs such a negative energy tilt that can eat the heavy burden of the local land in one bite, so that the local can run forward quickly with a thinner body. At the same time, this garbage dump can also be turned into treasure little by little, which in turn can feed back to the local community from the raw material and commodity market.

Colony, this is simply a perfect pressure relief valve, forming a perfect circle of interests with the homeland.

As a result, the local power groups, which occupy the absolute initiative, will not let the colonies go beyond their control. After all, no power group wants to watch its own interests fly out, and the local interest groups in the colonies are not fools, allowing others to cut their own bodies, they prefer to establish an independent country to safeguard their own rights and interests, which is the fundamental reason for the emergence of the United States and the outbreak of the South American War of Independence. At the same time, the economic development of Canada and Australia was too closely linked to the mainland, and there were no colonies with the conditions for independent development at this stage, so they could only be tightly tied to the mainland.

Chen Ming will not suppress the development of the Americas, because he has absolute confidence in the current China, with Nanyang and Australia as the back garden, as long as China continues to develop on the current road. How could such a China be afraid of the Americas, which were divided into countless fragments?

"In Liujia Village in North America, it represents more than just our Liujia family. And the prince in the palace. With the face of the concubine in front of His Majesty, the battle for the throne will be lost in the future, and she will definitely be able to find a good place. Maybe it's Tokyo or Hanjin. "Of all the families whose daughter gave birth to a prince, who doesn't have their eyes fixed on Tokyo and Hanjin?

After all, there is only one emperor's throne, and there is also the great god Empress Li in the palace. But the feudal countries in North America will be one after another. Who doesn't want their fiefdom to be more developed?

Tokyo and Hanjin are real feng shui treasures, and gold mines have already been found around Hanjin Castle.

"The development of Liujia Village is related to the future of our people. Pay attention when you go down, and put this matter at the top of the list. ”

"Mr. Zhu, Mr. Wang, Mr. Hong, several gentlemen have worked a lot, and they must prepare the next batch of personnel and materials at the end of the year." Liu Dezhao has internal information that by next year, these large shipping ships will not be able to focus all on the transportation of immigrants in North America, and some of them must be transferred back to shipping, and the domestic shipbuilding industry productivity will not be able to make up for this huge gap at all. Therefore, next year's transportation quota to North America needs to be actively striforated.

Then the personnel and materials must be prepared this year.

"Please rest assured."

Mr. Zhu, Mr. Wang, Mr. Hong and other customers responded with ruddy faces. They are all old people of the former dynasty who are unable to enter the officialdom in the new dynasty, and even the careers of their children and grandchildren may be affected by them. But if the Liu family's vassal state is established, even if this vassal state is countless times smaller and countless times weaker than China, they will still be the old heroes.

In the future, who would have thought how far the world would change?

Everything now is for a better future.

"Finally, keep an eye on the Li family's every move!"
