Replace Caoyun with the grain of the South Seas! Fang Bao's expression couldn't help but perk, the grain is the Tianyu of the Qing Dynasty, it is the blood of the imperial court, and the grain of four million stones every year is all supplied by the grain of the South Seas, how much money can Siam afford? Could it be that the Fourteenth Master has an idea about the Nanyang States? However, if this thing is done, it will be a real benefit for the people of the eight provinces who supply the grain.

Thinking of this, Fang Bao got up and said: "If the grain of the South Seas can be replaced by the grain, for the people of the eight provinces of Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Hubei, Lu and Henan, it can be said that there are thousands of Buddhas, and now is the time for the navy to vigorously expand, the fourteenth master may wish to release the rumors, and the children of the people of the eight provinces will definitely enthusiastically join the army and support it!" ”

Yinxiang couldn't help but smile when he heard this: "Mr. Fang's words are otherwise, the navy is both highly paid and has a bright future, and there is an endless stream of people who join the army like carp crossing the river, where is there any need for propaganda and agitation?" ”

Yinzhen's heart moved, the navy is not short of people, but the army is short of people, the terrain of Japan and Southeast Asia is not conducive to cavalry, and it is not suitable for the children of the Eight Banners at all, and we must vigorously build an army suitable for mountain warfare.

At this time, the guards outside the door reported, "Master, Chen Pengnian, Wanyan Haifeng, Zha Siting, Zhang Yuanlong, Tang Degui and others are here to see you outside." ”

Hearing the report, Yinzhen smiled slightly and said, "I'm afraid these people are all here to fight in the ring, let them all come in." ”

Zheng Qinghai smiled and continued: "The master expected that it was not bad at all, although Australian immigration has just begun, there are endless problems, and everyone is busy in the dark. ”

Chen Pengnian, Wan Yan Haifeng and other mermaids entered. After the ceremony, Yinzhen smiled and let everyone sit down, and then said: "Immigrating to Australia is a major event of the country, and it is not the same as immigrating to Sichuan and Taiwan. Australia is rich and vast, far away from the Qing Dynasty, and the king did not hesitate to immigrate with huge sums of money in order to capture the hearts of the people.

With such large-scale migration, there must be many problems. Considering that Australian immigration will last for seven years, or even longer, all the problems that arise now must be faced directly and gradually resolved, and this king will fully support it.

Today, the king only wants to hear about the problems that are difficult to solve with the current financial and material resources. Say it, everybody. ”

Hearing Yinzhen's three kings in a row, a group of henchmen couldn't help but feel uneasy, in the past year, Yinzhen talked to them, rarely called himself this king, such a mouthful of this king, obviously he vented his dissatisfaction with a hidden performance, Chen Pengnian, Zha Siting meditated, silent, Wanyan Haifeng just quietly glanced at Zhang Yuanlong.

Unexpectedly. Tang Degui, the president of the Sand Boat Association, opened his mouth first, he was really anxious, and he didn't care about that much, so he said: "Fourteenth Master, there are a lot of immigrants gathered in Tianjin, and the Chamber of Commerce was also patronizing and excited before, ignoring the problem of wind direction. In this season, from Tianjin to the south, the wind and water are smooth, but from Shanghai to the north, but it is against the wind, grabbing the wind and sailing. Not to mention the increase in the voyage, it is not suitable to load heavy cargo, which is equivalent to emptying the north, if it is a year and a half, it can still bear it, if it is seven years, this cost is a little unbearable. ”

Yinzhen went to the South China Sea twice, and knew a little about sailboats, although sailboats can borrow the eight winds and can go against the wind, but the wind is time-consuming and laborious, and it is indeed not suitable to carry loads, otherwise the maritime trade does not have to wait for the monsoon, and the ships are all empty on Tianjin, and the losses are not ordinarily large, and after a while, he said: "This is the first batch of Australian immigrants, and the confidence of immigrants cannot be hit. ”

As he spoke, he turned to Yinxiang and said, "Do you remember the route to the Americas that the Spaniards said?" ”

Yinxiang didn't know why he suddenly asked about this, nodded hurriedly, and said, "Remember, go north first and then turn east." "The Spaniards relied on a large warm current that could reach Japan directly. Yinzhen said in a deep voice: "The reason why Qinhuangdao on the edge of Tianjin is not frozen in winter is also related to this warm current, which should be a branch of this warm current to the Bohai Sea, and ordered Fuhan to send two training ships to sail eastward, and when it encounters a northward current, it will go down the river, and the farthest cannot cross Jeju Island and Nagasaki, Japan." ”

Saying that, Yinzhen turned to Tang Degui and said: "This is for the benefit of the Beiyang trade, and President Tang also sent ships and skilled sailors to follow and investigate, so that they can take care of each other." ”

Tang Degui is also a big ship owner, when he was young, he did not run Liaodong trade, and the effect of the current is naturally very clear, I heard that Qinhuangdao does not freeze in winter is related to a warm current in the north, and his heart is already pounding, if there is such a current, the trade time of Beiyang will be greatly extended, this is great news, and he nodded again and again: "Rest assured, the contempt business will make every effort to organize manpower to cooperate with the navy to investigate." ”

Zhang Yuanlong's eyes were hot when he watched from the sidelines, and he hurriedly said: "Lord Sui, the sea ships that go to the South Seas also have this problem. ”

Yinzhen said with a smile: "This warm current is very large, it starts from the east side of Luzon Island and flows northward, you can also open up a route from Karopa, and I will let the navy cooperate with you." In addition, are you ready for the Karopa to Australia sea fleet? ”

"Returning to the prince, it has been prepared, and the first batch of immigrants to the south is led by Wang Tongxu." Zhang Yuanlong replied respectfully.

Wang Tongxu? Running the Manila route to rescue Zheng Qingyuan's man? That's a clever person, Yinzhen nodded slightly, and said: "The sea ship has arrived in Karopa, and it has to be transshipped to Australia, and it is already a tailwind season when it returns, don't worry, besides, Karopa is about to become the center of the South Seas, but there is still no large-scale fleet, let out the wind, or form it as soon as possible, and it can not be delayed." ”

This is really the first month near the water, Zhang Yuanlong hurriedly agreed, Chen Pengnian, Wanyan Haifeng, and Zha Siting saw that Yinzhen was so bloodless, where did he dare to mention difficulties again, and they were all silent.

Seeing this situation, Yinzhen sent everyone away, but Chen Pengnian was left, and when everyone withdrew, he said straight to the point: "Cangzhou, would you like to go to Karopa?" ”

Chen Pengnian's heart suddenly jumped, Karopa is the center of Nanyang, and it is imperative to establish a province in Nanyang, at this time, go to Karopa to take charge, once the province is established, he is either the governor or the governor, he hurriedly got up and knelt down, and said: "My subordinate Xie Fourteenth Master brings the grace." ”

Yinzhen nodded, didn't shout, and said in a deep voice: "Karopa is a transit point from Australia to the Qing Dynasty, and Nanyang is the passage from the Qing Dynasty to Europe and Africa, so its importance does not need to be repeated.

The people of Nanyang, most of whom are migrated from Fujian and Guangdong, or fleeing the war, or forced by the 'relocation and forbidden sea', and being exploited and oppressed by the Spanish, Dutch and local natives in Nanyang, are all suffering people.

For the sake of the long run, this year and next year, you can intercept 20% of the Australian immigrants for the development of the Karopa, and the imperial court will not levy taxes in Nanyang in the short term, you should take this opportunity to recuperate with the people, and if it is necessary for construction, it will be temporarily drawn from the commercial tax levied by the Karopa. ”

Listening to Yinzhen's chatter, all he wanted him to recuperate and do to support the people, Chen Pengnian kowtowed with a solemn expression: "My subordinates respectfully respect the Fourteenth Master's order." ”

Seeing that when it came to Nanyang immigration, Yinxiang couldn't help but interject and said: "Nanyang's move to divide the land according to the head is very tempting for the proletarians. ”

Spontaneous migration? That can save a lot of trouble, Yinzhen sighed a little and said: "Don't worry, it's nothing more than a situation that can't be resolved, but for those who move without permission, they can't be allowed to stay in Nanyang and move to Australia." Nanyang is the gateway of the Qing Dynasty, and it should not be dominated by a corner of the people, and the north and south are mixed, and it is the right way. ”…,*

Large-scale Australian immigration, although Shanghai is busy, but everything is still very orderly, Tianjin is a little busy, because it is the first batch of immigrants, Zhang Pengxi, Fu Ningan, Shi Shilun, who are in charge of immigration affairs, do not dare to be careless, Zhang Pengxi, Fu Ningan and Fu Ningan put down the affairs at hand and went to Tianjin to supervise the battle.

Despite this, Tianjin is still very busy, because the early propaganda and agitation work is in place, Yinzhen's immigration conditions are too attractive, and officials from all over the country are also very hard working for political achievements, and the number of immigrants in the plan is quite large, and they rushed to Tianjin in phases on time, but no one expected that immigration to Australia has a strong attraction to the people of several northern provinces.

There is no imperial court organization, no one contributes money, no one provides rations and fields, these people still have to go to the west and enter the east, not to mention the immigrants who spend a lot of money to do everything? Who doesn't care? Australia is far away, no one cares, whether Australia is the territory of the Qing Dynasty, no one cares, Australia has land to give them, there is a place to open up wasteland, and it is enough for them to be tempted by food and clothing.

The people who are not in the resettlement plan are worried that they have passed through this village, and there is no store, and after hearing the news, they have flocked to Tianjin, but the officials from all over the country along the way are not willing to do much to intercept, they all turn a blind eye, and everyone knows in their hearts that intercepting these immigrants will definitely cost money and food to support, and they will offend the officials of neighboring states and counties.

As a result, things are beyond the control of a group of officials, a large number of unplanned immigrants continue to pour into Tianjin, making all the previous preparations stretched, eating, drinking, lazing and living is first of all a big problem, and then Tianjin's public security, epidemic prevention, Zhang Pengxi, Fu Ning'an, Shi Shilun three people are busy all day and night like fighting fires, not only busy meeting officials and businessmen, allocating materials everywhere, but also taking time to inspect and pacify the migrant gathering places, and in the evening, they are also busy writing letters to various places, ordering all localities to intercept unorganized immigrants.

Although nearly 10,000 immigrants board the ship and leave the port every day, the influx of immigrants is still a steady stream, and the number of immigrants in Tianjin is increasing day by day.
