Anton Wei is located in the westernmost part of Qingzhou, its east is Lingshanwei, the north is Qianniuwei, although Anton Wei is also in Tuntian, but its main business is now the breeding industry, which is also the corresponding Pang Gang put forward to do professional requirements. Pang Gang has always believed that the energy of a person or a health center is limited, and it is impossible to ask a health center to wrap everything around, which is unrealistic, everyone develops according to their own characteristics, and finally forms an organic whole that can form complementarity.

Today, Pang Gang came to Anton Wei with all his officers, and by the way, he checked the breeding situation of Anton Wei, and Liu Changyou, a thousand households of Anton Wei, was accompanied by him diligently.

Liu Changyou is quite satisfied with the development of today's Anton Wei, and with the strong support of Pang Gang, Anton Wei has repaired a perfect water conservancy hub after a year. Now Liu Changyou can pat his chest and say that wherever the wasteland is opened, his canal will follow. And what he is most proud of is that this year's Anton Wei's breeding industry has seen great development, and it is expected that before the Chinese New Year this year, Anton Wei can provide 30,000 pigs and more than 100,000 chickens and ducks for the entire Qingzhou, which can fully guarantee the meat supply of the entire Qingzhou people.

Pang Gang walked in the rows of huge pigsties, looking at the fat pigs in the pigsty and the military households who were constantly busy inside and outside the pigsty, he was very satisfied, he smiled and said to Liu Changyou: "Liu Qianhu, you have done a good job, it seems that this official is going to share some more dividends with you this year." ”

At this time, Liu Changyou's face was full of red light, patted his chest and said: "Don't worry, if you want to say that you are humble in war, it may not be good, but when it comes to raising pigs and farming, you will definitely not be worse than others!" ”

"Hahaha, I absolutely believe this." Pang Gang laughed, Liu Changyou's words are very honest, speaking of them, the old military households who have been in the field for generations, may not be proficient in fighting, but if they are allowed to farm and raise pigs, they must all be experts.

After Pang Gang and Liu Changyou walked for a while, they thought about it and said to Liu Changyou: "Liu Qianhu, how have the displaced people been gathered recently?" ”

Liu Changyou said: "So that my lord can know that more than 30,000 displaced people have come one after another, and except for some of them, they have been left in Andongwei, and the rest have been diverted to Qianniuwei and Lingshanwei." ”

"Well, you're doing a good job." Pang Gang praised him and said: "I know that you Anton Wei are short of people, but Lingshanwei and Qianniuwei are even more lacking, especially Qianniuwei, they have the most wasteland, and they need more people, and Qianhu has mentioned it to me several times, saying that you always leave the young and strong homeless people to your own guard, and the rest of the old and weak women and children are sent to them, so you can't do it, you must know that their tuntian is the fundamental, without Qianniuwei's tuntian, we are like duckweed without roots, what do we eat when the time comes, do we eat pork every day?" ”

Liu Changyou was so speechless by Pang Gang's training that he was speechless, and after a while, he promised: "My lord, I just want to keep some more people to help." ”

"You idiot." Pang Gang hated iron and scolded: "I see that your heart and eyes are not much bigger than the tip of a needle, are you afraid that there are no homeless, it has only been a few days, and there are 30,000 homeless people who have come, and you Andong Wei can contain 70,000 or 80,000 I am afraid that it will be up to the sky, do you know how many homeless people we have in the Ming Dynasty?" Speaking out can scare you to death, we have at least five or six million homeless people in the Ming Dynasty a year, and tens of millions in many years, how many people can you accept as a little Anton Wei? ”

"My goodness, so many!" Liu Changyou's eyes were a little straight when he heard this, he never dreamed that there would be so many homeless people in Daming after half his life in Anton Wei's nest.

"Yes, outcasts, lots of outcasts!" Pang Gang felt bitter in his heart. He knows history very well that the Ming Dynasty was not so much destroyed by Li Zicheng as it was extinguished by a massive tide of displaced people.

The number of tens of millions of displaced people has moved in large numbers throughout the country, and there is no grass left in the places where they pass like locusts, so there is the soil where Li Zicheng's rogues live, otherwise with Li Zicheng's ability to destroy the Ming Dynasty, there is even a problem with self-preservation.

"My lord, those homeless people won't come to our Qingzhou." Liu Changyou, who was taken aback by Pang Gang's words, asked Pang Gang worriedly, he was told that there were tens of millions of displaced people, and if one million displaced people came this year, they would crush the entire Qingzhou to death.

Pang Gang shook his head: "Not this year, but it's hard to say next year." ”

"So this year's task is to desperately grow food in the fields." "Our mission is to be able to shelter at least 1.5 million to 2 million displaced people next year," Pang said. ”

"One and a half million to two million?" Liu Changyou felt that his breathing began to become difficult, "The food that so many people eat every day is a small mountain!" Can we have so much food? ”

"That's why we have to work hard to grow grain!" Pang Gang smiled and patted Liu Changyou on the shoulder, as for the land, you don't have to worry, the land in Qingzhou is not enough, we can also divide them to Dengzhou and Laizhou, as long as we can settle those displaced people, our population will become stronger and stronger.

After coming to this era, Pang Gang went from the precariousness to the confusion and confusion to the goal set today, and once Pang Gang also thought about whether he could try to help Chongzhen keep the Ming Dynasty and finally become famous. But in the end, Pang Gang finally figured it out, the demise of any dynasty is not accidental, it has its own inevitable factors in it, if he wants to rely on his own strength to prevent all this, he can only end up with a mantis arm as a car, to paraphrase the saying of later generations: the wheel of history rolls forward, and anything that stands in front of it will be crushed.

Pang Gang believes that the demise of the Ming Dynasty had its inevitable factors, first of all, its tax crisis and financial crisis.

Compared with other countries, the commercial tax collected in the Ming Dynasty was simply bizarrely low, incredibly low, and the commercial tax in the Song Dynasty was quite large, which could account for about half of the national fiscal revenue, and in the Ming Dynasty, it was simply low to the point that there was no commercial tax.

The Ming Dynasty's imperial court finances were even stretched thin to maintain the normal operation of the country, and they had to rely on an emperor to save money and save their personal living expenses to barely support a country's expenses, which was the only scorpion in the 5,000-year history of China. By the end of the Ming Dynasty, the imperial court's finances were so fragile that even a small war or a slightly serious famine would lead to a crisis in the country's finances and the brink of bankruptcy. And those countries that are much poorer than the Ming Dynasty, although they have waged wars for many years, are more than enough economically, which can be regarded as an aggressive thing.

On the contrary, the landlord and gentry class led by the Donglin Party lived a life of drunken dreams and death, and the "Golden Vase Plum", which has been listed as [***] for a long time, explains very well how the landlords suck the flesh and blood of the state. The Ximen Qing official of the Golden Vase Meili is not only a virtual master of the widely popular house in the house and surname hedonism since the Ming Dynasty, but his story is a real reproduction of the late Ming Dynasty Jiangnan "market sellers" and "profit-making" commercial scene. From this, we can get a glimpse of the true face of those who are rich and unkind.

In addition to the normal way of doing business, Ximenqing is also suspected of tax evasion. According to the tax system of the Ming Dynasty, thirty taxes were one. In "The Eighty-first Episode of Han Daoguo's Abduction of Wealth and Escape to Tang to Protect the Lord's Betrayal", Han Daoguo's silk goods of 10,000 taels of silver should be taxed more than 300 taels of silver. But after the tax card, Ximenqing started the network, bribed with fifty taels of silver, got a letter of favor from the old man, and when the tax card was passed, the goods were "two boxes and one box, and only two stops were reported for three stops", and finally the goods were not inspected, and only thirty-five taels of silver were paid, and they passed the customs in confusion. Of course, afterwards, Ximenqing also had to send a generous gift to the banknote. Probably even paying taxes and gifts, it only cost a hundred taels of silver. The cargo ship that came to Bao came from Nanjing, and Ximenqing bribed him with 100 taels of silver, and prepared a banquet gift for the tax collector to thank the director, and evaded at least 5 or 600 taels of silver. -- Here, the imperial court suffered a big loss, the tax collector made a small profit, and the one who made the greatest profit was Ximenqing.

From here, it can be seen how crazy the landlord class in the last years of the Ming Dynasty has reached in terms of tax evasion.

It is also said that the fall of the Ming Dynasty was perished on the eunuch class, and Pang Gang has always scoffed at this statement.

The eunuch problem in the Ming Dynasty has always been exaggerated by some people, even to the point of boundlessness, but Pang Gang believes that the eunuch problem in the Ming Dynasty is essentially the result of internal contradictions among civil officials and between civil officials and the emperor.

The eunuchs of the Ming Dynasty could not be compared with the Han Dynasty, let alone the Tang Dynasty. It is not a repetition of the problems of eunuchs in any previous dynasty, but on the contrary the result of new political relations. During the Song Dynasty, the civil power was already quite large, but the emperor could at least reach a certain tacit understanding with the civil official group, cooperate with each other, and at least use part of the civil official group to serve himself. But in the Ming Dynasty, the emperor was really a loner, completely alone and a civil official group, and at this time he had to use eunuchs to relieve his pressure. On the contrary, when the emperor was able to obtain the support of a part of the civil official group, the eunuchs had no room for political intervention at all, the most typical example was the Ming Shizong period, the common saying is that Shizong controlled the eunuchs strictly, in fact, this is just a superficial talk, the key problem is that at this time, Jiajing has attracted the support of some civil officials, and greatly improved their status, at this time, of course, there is no need for eunuchs.

In the Chongzhen period, there were almost no civil officials around Emperor Chongzhen who were willing to support the emperor, and all the civil officials at this time were thinking about the interests of their small group, so Chongzhen had to greatly improve the status of eunuchs to counter the civil official group. For example, sending eunuchs everywhere as supervisors to be placed in the army, and sending eunuchs to collect taxes for him, etc., it can be seen from here how desolate Chongzhen's heart is.

And the eunuchs' physical defects also led to their strong pursuit of money, which also led to the origin of their infamy. Originally, they were helping the boss to do things, but later they dragged the boss back, and in the end, even the emperor took them to be served by a group of mud legs.

From here, it can be seen that if you want to re-support the crumbling Ming Dynasty, you must refresh the landlord class and gentry class of the Ming Dynasty, and the blood to be shed in this process will be incalculable. That is to say, it is necessary to reshuffle the gentry and landlord class in Jiangnan, but such a thing is impossible for any Ming emperor, and the only way is to start anew and overthrow all the rotten things and start over, this is Pang Gang's plan and determination.

After Pang Gang inspected Anton Wei, he rushed to Wanghai Fort non-stop.

On the shore of Wanghai Fort, five large wharves have been built, and there are more than a dozen shipyards near the wharf, in which thousands of craftsmen are constantly busy, which is the newly built shipyard and sailor base of Pang Gang.

These shipyards were used by Pang Gang to manufacture and train the shipbuilders of China, and Pang Gang did not want them to design and manufacture any amazing masterpieces in a short period of time, but only hoped that they could slowly restore the previous level of shipbuilding.

After returning from Hangzhou, Pang Gang had a more advanced understanding of the role of the sailor, Pang Gang only used ten warships to blockade the Hangzhou dock for seven or eight days, if it were not for the fear that the interests of the Zhejiang gentry would be too much, which would be detrimental to his future development, and then blockade him for ten and a half days, and it would be no problem to make millions of taels of silver.

Since the role of the sailor is so great, Pang Gang has no reason to give up at all, so after he came back from Hangzhou, although he was busy sheltering and relieving the homeless, he never stopped the construction of the sailor.

Relying on the mutated "Encyclopedia of Modern Weapons", Pang Gang now has ten Dafu ships with a load of 800 tons, and 30 cruisers, this kind of cruiser is only more than 200 tons, with excellent navigation ability and flexibility, enough to get rid of all pirates or the pursuit of the enemy navy, is a set of reconnaissance, combat in one of the sea weapons, Pang Gang named it Wanghai-class clipper. But what shocked the sailors the most was that their Dingguo Shogun had somehow obtained three large warships that were much larger than the Daifuku ship, and this kind of warship was the world-famous Spanish galleon more than a hundred years later, this galleon with a deadweight of 1,200 tons was equipped with 60 guns and could carry 500 members, which was a veritable giant of the sea at this time.

With these three sea giants and the newly added thirty clippers, Pang Gang did not feel the slightest relaxation, because he had already received the news two days ago, and at this time, Zheng Zhilong, the largest maritime merchant in the Ming Dynasty and the leader of the maritime military group, had already set his eyes on him, and this sudden news immediately made Pang Gang's nerves start to tense again.
