Chapter 605 Exchange of Interests

The problem of population is a problem of time and slow results, there are a lot of trivial things to do, this matter, Chen Xie plans to leave it to the three major families to do, it can't be so cheap for them, it doesn't count as a lot of money and effort to do a lot of preparatory work in the early stage, and in the end, when these people are settled, they can't give the three families a good reputation.

How to operate this matter specifically, the immigration team of senior officials who are very experienced in immigration, and the Liaodong side, must mobilize some people to participate in this matter. One by one, the orders were signed, and when it came to the names of individuals, Chen Xie wrote letters in his own handwriting, saying that there was such a thing, you can come or choose not to come. On this issue, Chen Xie is sincere, after all, these people have followed him for so many years and suffered a lot, and finally Liaodong and Dayuan have become a climate, and they have been transferred here to be busy again, and they are really unhappy in their hearts. Can't let honest people who are willing to do things suffer, Chen Xie understands this. Therefore, the letter also made it very clear that after coming here, the status has been improved, the treatment has been improved, and so on.

After finishing this matter, I had to write a chapter to the imperial court and a letter to the cabinet. Of the five cabinet bigwigs, Chen Xie did not let go of any of them, and they all wrote a sincere letter, although it was in the vernacular, but the attitude was very good. The implication is that there are too few Chinese here, and they don't want to lose the territory that they have fought hard, so they specially invited His Majesty to use this place as the farthest place of exile in the Ming Dynasty. I hope that the cabinet will come up with a policy that as long as it is an exiled criminal, it will be thrown here.

Of course, this letter is not written in vain, if these cabinet bigwigs agree, Chen Xie will definitely have to pay something. For example, the queue to buy a ship at Huating Shipyard, the business of these elder families, etc., are all taken care of. Chen Xie is not a saint, when he is far away from the court. I still need to have a good relationship with the court. Even Hong Chengchou, didn't there be a further deterioration of the relationship? It can be regarded as not knowing, it doesn't matter, but there must be a tacit understanding, a tacit understanding of interests.

What Chen Xie needs most in this place is actually those civil officials who make mistakes. Cultural people who have a certain amount of experience in local governance can get started quickly here. Of course, this is just a need, and there may not be many prisoners sent here. Therefore, Chen Xie still asked these pavilion elders to say a word to the Ministry of Rites, who wants to come here, and the treatment will be preferential. There is a Java province here, and the supreme chief executive is naturally the governor, and the three divisions are also to be built.

That being said. In fact, Chen Xie was fooling, and when he arrived here, it was definitely not the position of the governor of Java waiting for him. It can only be a position equivalent to the governor of Java, but it certainly can't be compared with the governor's power. This place, in fact, is still in the nature of military management, and when civilian officials come, they are nothing more than doing some specific things, and their rights are not small. But it definitely can't be compared with Lin Ya, the governor of Xinghai City. Previously, in the civil service. The three big surnames account for a large proportion, and this situation must be changed, and they can no longer be indulged. As for whether these people will deviate from morality, Chen Xie is not worried at all, they don't have the ability or courage. Unless one emerges in the future. can have the same strength as Chen Xie.

The three families executed Chen Xie's order very quickly, but within three days, they had a reply. On the island of Java, they have connected chieftains and tribal leaders, totaling twenty or thirty, all large and small. The largest ones have a population of tens of thousands. can make up a combat strength of three or five thousand, and the small one has a population of more than 10,000 people, and it is difficult to make a thousand people.

These tribes are not too big, and they are close to Xinghai City, so they have been watching and doing wall grass. But this time, Chen Xie didn't plan to give them a chance to be a wallhead, the news sent by the three families was actually a signal, either take sides or perish. As for whether he can understand it, Chen Xie doesn't care, and people who don't understand don't complain when they die, how did they get into that position.

The news brought by the three families is good, there are a total of fifteen tribes, and they have agreed to come to this meeting at the first time. Another six said they needed to consider it, and the remaining 11 directly announced their refusal to participate in the meeting. Chen Xie was still very satisfied with the efficiency of the three families, looking at the three old guys standing in front of him, he finally smiled and said, "Sit down and talk." ”

This sentence is priceless for the three of them. Whether or not they have regained trust is a lot of words, at least Chen Xie will not continue to embarrass them, and he will not move any thoughts that make the three families unable to get up from now on. The three of them sat cautiously, and they only dared to sit half of their buttocks, where was the calmness and confidence they had when they first met. In fact, Chen Xie's ruthless methods were too cruel, one did not fall into 10,000 people, and no one was left behind to kill all the men, and in the end, only less than 3,000 women survived. The fate of these women was also extremely tragic, and they were not sold as slaves or military prostitutes. Chen Xie, who showed his fangs, was really terrifying.

"There is one thing that needs to be done, I plan to relocate some people from Daming, and I need some funds and manpower to resettle. In fact, it's not too much, it's about 500,000 silver yuan a year. In this way, these later immigrants, the land they opened, received half of it themselves, and the other half was handed over as compensation for the help they had received before. When Chen Xie spoke, his eyes kept wandering over the three of them, and these three were old and mature characters, and they immediately stood up neatly.

"If the cabinet department is relieved, this matter will be left to the grass people and others." As a representative, the head of the Li family immediately expressed his position.

Chen Xie smiled when he heard this: "I am naturally relieved that you do things." Sit down, don't stand and talk. This sounds very good, but in fact, the three of them do not dare to be happy at all. This is another test, whether things are done well or not, we still have to settle accounts in the future. It can be seen how severe the consequences of making a mistake once are. At this moment, the three of them had a thought, they must explain to their families after they go back, and they must not make similar mistakes in the future, unless Chen Xie dies.

"The specific things are very complicated, the people are delivered, the place to live must be prepared in advance, the place to open up the wasteland must be selected, and someone must guide what to plant. Farm tools, seeds, rations, medicines, all sorts of things. When inland people come to Nanyang, the biggest problem is that they are not accustomed to the soil and water, and I think the main reason is that the disease is too bad, and the medicine is now in the hands of the troops, and there is no channel to sell it to the outside world. In this way, in the future, you can send a ship to Huating or Dayuan, and I will write you a warrant, and in the future, the three of you will be the exclusive agent of Daming's special effect medicine in Nanyang. After beating a stick, he threw a sweet date, and the three of them showed joy. The benefits here are too great, the effect of cinchona cream is getting worse and worse, and people who take too much will be uncomfortable to death. The medicine prepared by the Ming army has no sequelae at all. This medicine is sold at a lower price than gold in Nanyang, and it is not easy for you to buy it.

"Don't be happy so early, there are still some medicine business, you can also do it. For example, insecticides, mosquito coils, etc., these materials are currently only rationed by the troops, if you have the capacity, you can also go directly to the suppliers in Huating to purchase mosquito coils, and insecticides can be purchased directly from the troops. "Chen Xie said these are the truth, insecticides and mosquito coils are sold in Daming. Ordinary people can't afford this, it's expensive to death, who is willing to spend a silver yuan to buy a box of mosquito coils. But Europeans are different, rich aristocrats are particularly fond of mosquito coils, no matter how expensive they are, they are willing to spend money to buy them, and they will not be guilty of a summer. As for the insecticide, there are too many insects in this place in Nanyang, and there are no pesticides for these three families, and they are very guilty of relocating the people. In many resettlement sites, without pesticides in advance, it is impossible to live in them. How many people died not under the claws of vipers and beasts, but in the mouths of these little bugs. (My father dictated the deeds of military reclamation in Hainan, so he repeatedly emphasized this matter.) The alien population, the biggest enemy in the tropics, is bugs. ）

The three of them got these benefits, so they naturally said goodbye happily, and Chen Xie looked at the back of them leaving, and he was still a little helpless. Relationships that simply rely on emotion and marriage will not last long. These people can give them some benefits, but they can't let them get too much power, at least when they are there, when the system is not perfect enough, they can't be too decentralized.

Now Chen Xie's position is very correct, and it is a relationship of exchange of interests with these three families, and it is still a relationship of exchange of interests with the bigwigs of the court. I believe that with interests as the foundation, they will be more reliable in the future. Many things need people to do, Chen Xie is now short of people, the Chinese in Nanyang are still a minority, and the overseas Chinese here still have a deep foundation, and they have the advantage of being one step ahead.

When Chen Xie was busy in Nanyang, in the early summer of the seventeenth year of Chongzhen, when the domestic situation gradually stabilized, a Japanese tributary team landed from Tianjin and went north along the official road. Probably because there has been no tributary phenomenon for a long time, the visiting Japanese tributary team this time has been treated with a very high standard. The Ministry of Rites and the Dongge University Shihong Chengchou personally greeted him at the Tongzhou Canal Wharf. Because Chen Xie set a fire in Edo and killed many people, these people in the Japanese mission thought that the Ming officials and Chen Xie were the same way, so their attitude was extremely respectful. The gift was in place, Hong Chengchou was happy.

When he returned to Beijing, Hong Chengchou praised these Japanese for knowing etiquette and all kinds of good. Zhu Youzhen attaches great importance to it, but his mentality is completely different. Chen Xie had already been vaccinated, and Zhu Youzhen knew what they were here for. It is a good thing to use this mission to boost the morale of the people in the country. But you can't just bring a few straws and mix them back with a gold bar, as you did before. Without such a loser, such a loser dynasty in history seems to be the Ming and Qing dynasties.
