Chapter Ninety-Five: The Great Event

Big families all over the world' Under the threat of the Japanese Kou, he was finally willing to buy land at the price of fifteen quintals of one acre, Lu Zhangyang, Li Wang and others were also very helpless to Xiaotian, a person who walked between black and white, one foot in the court and one foot in the rivers and lakes, and he was somewhat frightened in his heart, fifteen quintals were already very cheap, so there was no more trouble, there was only one King An who was not afraid of him, but he himself couldn't make much waves, and he was going to wait for the court to finish the disaster relief grain, and then he finally went up, but he didn't expect a bunch of rich businessmen to suddenly pour out, and before the court grain was finished, the remaining 3.6 million mu of land was rounded, and King An, the mastermind behind the embankment and flooding the fields, did not annex the last acre of land, angrily killed three unlucky eunuchs in the palace.

In any case, the change from rice to mulberry finally came to an end, and by March, all the mulberry seedlings had been planted. In Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces, a total of 60 percent of the land is planted with mulberry, 2 percent is planted with tea, and 10 percent is planted with other crops, and only 10 percent of the land is still planted with grain.

However, after King An's trouble, no one was satisfied with the result of changing rice to mulberry. More than two million taels of the imperial court have spent more than two million taels to repair the river embankment in vain, and although it will not cost so much to rebuild it, I am afraid that one million taels will still be available. The loom built by more than one million yuan could have earned 1.8 million taels, but this time the loan was after the autumn harvest. The mulberry seedlings have been planted, and the people's land is gone, especially in the three flooded counties, and the people have all become proletarians, and they will still have a headache next year. Even if there are no people affected by the disaster, the standard of living can be said to have plummeted, and it is barely enough to starve to death.

Almost all the surplus grain in the provinces of Nanzhili has gone to the hands of the victims, and next year, this year's grain reserves will all be eaten up, even if it is a bumper harvest, next year's grain may not be enough to eat, it must be more than planned, in case there is another disaster or something, I don't know where to transfer grain.

In order to make the life of the people of Liangjiang a little better, Xiaotian came out of the moth again, the workers of these workshops in the Ming Dynasty were twelve hours to work in two shifts, the evil feudal society is much more ruthless than the capitalists, if it is not for the life of no one is willing to work, Xiaotian let Yang Jinshui in the name of the Weaving Bureau issued an order, from now on each workshop must be changed to three shifts, and the salary can not be less, will send eunuchs to inspect.

This alone allowed these silk merchants to make at least 30% less profit. Although there are definitely things that are contrary to yang and yin, Xiao Tian can do just that.

Before the autumn harvest, things are over, the rest are routine things, Zhao Wenhua can handle it completely, and the will of the imperial court has come down, and my father has been officially promoted to the political envoy, which is the only good news.

Xiaotian has been on the shore long enough to write a letter to the court, and the rest is left alone, he still has important things to do.

There are many major events that happened in the thirty-second year of Jiajing, such as Yang Jisheng's impeachment of Yan Song's ten crimes and five traitors, Zhu Bochen's invitation to build the outer city of Beijing, the Ministry of Rites fired a knife to the vassal king, minus some Yulu, HN a *** rebellion, etc., these are of course great events for the court, but all this has little to do with Xiaotian.

But at the same time, a major event occurred in this year that affected future generations for hundreds of years, but no one in the government and the opposition cared about it at that time.

The Portuguese came, and under the pretext that the goods were flooded, they demanded to land and dry the goods in Macao.

This matter has something to do with Xiao Tian, Xiao Tian has been preparing for this for too long.

Why can Wang Zhi make his business so big? Without him, he just had a good relationship with the Spanish colonists, and he was able to buy weapons from such a large customer, of course, he was angry. At that time, the only one on the ocean who could wrestle with Spain was Portugal.

Xiao Tian didn't like the way the Spaniards did things, these grandsons were pure robbers, they grabbed wherever they went, the Portuguese were relatively much gentle, and they seemed to prefer business.

Historically, the Portuguese did not leave Macao at the beginning because they bribed a local petty official, and only used a mere 500 taels of silver. Now that Xiaotian is here, of course that little official can get out.

Xiaotian made such a big move in Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces, of course his identity and background can't be hidden, it is estimated that Xu Hai and they should also guess what is going on with him, so they simply don't hide it, they simply make it semi-public, Xiaotian's power has developed to now be a behemoth, as long as Wang Zhi doesn't make a move, he is actually not afraid of Xu Hai and them at all, it really can't be done, can we still borrow troops from Yu Dayou.

Macau. At this time, Macau is just a fresh water supply point, not even a small town, Xiaotian welcomed the Portuguese from Portugal with a warm smile, sovereignty you don't have to worry about, but we are still no problem to cooperate.

Xiao Tian rode the majestic Sunshine Sonny and appeared in the port of Macao, and the Portuguese were all facing the enemy.

This time, he brought more than 100 warships, more than 10,000 elite soldiers, all equipped with the most advanced weapons, and marched directly on the shore with vigorous steps.

Xiao Tian didn't hide it anymore, and appeared directly in his coquettish unicorn robe.

The Portuguese were all terrified and shouted loudly in half-baked Chinese: "We are friends, friends, not pirates".

Xiao Tian walked over with a smile, stretched out his warm arm to give the leader a big hug, and said: "Welcome, dear friends, I welcome all friendly friends, but at the same time, I also have the most powerful army in the world, to welcome those who are not friendly to us, friends."

The man hurriedly said: "Yes, yes, you are right, Daming is the most powerful country I have ever seen, there are many commodities we need here, we Portugal are friendly, friends, definitely not enemies".

Xiaotian smiled: "That's good, that's good, it's been a few days."

The man said: "It's been half a month."

Xiao Tian said: "Then please call the official who negotiated with you."

After a while, a junior officer who was still wearing a cyan robe walked over in fear, seeing that the complement on his chest was only a seventh grade.

The petty official spoke: "Wang Bai, the deputy envoy of the sea channel, see the lord"

Xiao Tian didn't say a word, took out a short gun, and slammed him out.

Big brother, you're having a nervous break, aren't you?

Looking at the nervous Portuguese in front of him, Xiao Tian put on his signature smile again, and said: "Introduce yourself, I, the Marquis of Dingyuan in the Ming Dynasty, now, you don't count what you talked to him before, you have to talk to me again."
