Chapter 174: The Arch Fire Plan to Help Hong Chengxian Immortals

Just like a new power in the future, the subway in the United States in this era is brand new, the trains are brand new, and the ships are brand new, and the whole country shows a different look from the old Europe.

If it were not interrupted by a mysterious power reincarnated in the dirt, such a United States would undoubtedly grow into the world's number one economic and military power in the coming decades.

And the flower of evil grafted on this thriving tree is Zhu Fugui's own preciousness.

Not only does he want to cut off Americaka's dragon veins and dig up its roots, but he also has to put a straw in it to thrive in its brain.

For example, the 10 "Core Values-class" transport ships purchased from New York, with a total displacement of more than 20,000 tons, have now become shovels for digging the grave of US imperialism.

A few years ago, the British Empire's second-class ships were only 2,000 tons, but now they are thousands of tons of big ships sailing in the Atlantic.

This is of course because of the development of the times, but also because merchant ships are generally larger and wider than the warships of the same era, otherwise in later generations, there would not be frequent news similar to the US warships being damaged by Philippine merchant ships, and the merchant ships were almost unscathed.

All in all, these 10 big ships brought nearly 10,000 new people to the Ming Dynasty at one time.

There are objective conditions for so many people to be recruited, or bought, in just seven or eight days.

This is thanks to the Twist Army of Lianghuai, the Taiping Army of Jiangnan, and the famine in North China.

A large number of landless peasants were forced to become laborers, and many of them were captured "longhairers" who were sold to Donald by the Huai and Hunan armies for one tael of silver each.

This is quite a strong price, far exceeding the market conditions at the time.

However, for Daming, population and time are the most precious, and if you want to get the most people in the shortest time, adding money is the easiest way.

After this wave of recruitment, Donald is already a god of wealth in the eyes of many Huai Army and Hunan Army leaders.

It is foreseeable that when the next Daming logistics returns, the military leaders who come to sell people will definitely be more endless.

When the Hunan army and the Huai army sell out the Taiping army and the hungry people, then I may sell myself.

Foreigners buying piglets is really not a big deal for the Manchu government, and without these mud legs, the Qing Dynasty may be able to maintain peace and stability for a long time.

And in this special period, everyone's eyes are on when Nanjing City will be broken, and there is no time to pay attention to those innocuous little things.

Moreover, with the southern and northern camps of Jiangnan and Jiangbei being smashed one after another, the control of the Manchu court in the Jianghuai area of southern Jiangsu was already very weak.

Otherwise, no one would say that if Zeng Guofan didn't covet the posthumous name of the "saint", he would at least be able to find a king of Wu.

All in all, spending money to buy people went smoothly, so Zhu Fugui couldn't help but think about whether to find a way to provide some support to Hong Tianwang in Nanjing City, so that they would not end up so quickly and continue to muddy the waters in the southeast.

Although the continuous war is not so friendly to the common people, it is too beneficial for the Ming Dynasty to buy the population, and it is worth a little fire.

It is conceivable that when Hong Tianwang ascended the altar, the Ming drone airdropped canned beef and instant noodles into it, and the defenders in Nanjing City would get what kind of physical and spiritual buffs.

This plan has been submitted to Yang Liu by Zhu Fugui for a long time.

With Yin Weasel's Jinyi Weinan Zhenfu Division taking over the police security work, Yang Liu, a single soldier, has been kicked by Zhu Fugui to establish a special operations force, and I believe that if necessary, they will definitely be able to go deep into the hinterland of the pseudo-Qing and carry out special tasks.

Zhu Fugui didn't think about directly trying to send troops to rob people, but it was too cheap to buy people, a middle-aged laborer only needed 1 tael of silver, half price for women and children, and the old man and wife gave it away for free.

This made Zhu Fugui have no motivation to send troops to the Far East too early.

In the late Qing Dynasty, it is difficult to calculate how much a tael of silver is equivalent to later generations.

Because of process problems, even if it is the official silver of the Qing government, it is difficult to guarantee the fineness.

Many articles in later generations were anchored by food and other daily necessities, and the final calculation results varied, which was equivalent to about 400-1000 yuan.

However, this is of little significance to the Ming Dynasty who directly resold gold and silver to later generations.

The silver of the Qing Dynasty, even the official silver, was not very pure because of the craftsmanship.

According to the 1840 Sino-British Treaty of Nanjing, "China paid 21 million silver dollars", and the Qing government's actual compensation of 14 million taels of silver, 1 tael of silver = 1.5 silver dollars.

As Zhu Fugui knew when he studied the currency value and silver cashing out, 1 Spanish silver dollar in this era was equivalent to 1 US dollar, and the silver content was 24.057 grams.

It can be seen that 1 tael of silver is about 36 grams of sterling silver.

In the 21st century, the price of silver is about 3.7 yuan, that is to say, Zhu Fugui can buy a Chinese worker with more than 130 yuan, and there is almost no cultural value consumption.

This is really not a matter for Zhu Fugui, who is up and down a few hundred yuan per minute.

Buying 40,000 compatriots in China is only 500 small goals.

Daming has accepted 5 batches of new immigrants, and the routine is already very familiar.

In the process of absorbing new immigrants again and again, the Department of Household Naturalization has also developed a set of rigorous processes and a set of strong organizations.

However, nearly 10,000 people have entered Daming at once, this is the first time, these populations are dividends, but also hidden dangers.

After all, these are living people, not machines without thoughts.

A month ago, some of them may be peasants facing the loess with their backs to the sky, some may be merchants walking the streets, and some may be Taiping soldiers who have just laid down their swords.

Of course, among these laborers, there may also be a few heinous and vicious people, some river and ocean thieves, bloody slaughterers, maybe they will hide in the meantime, and they will not be screened out at all.

The Ming official willingness, or unwillingness, can only objectively give them a new starting point in life.

Fortunately, such people are only a minority.

After all, the Chinese are not a nation with a high crime rate, although there will be various demon kings in the chaotic times, but in the end, most of the people are still relatively pure.

So Zhu Fugui is not worried at all that his Daming will become the place of exile for criminals like Australia.

After undergoing physical examination, sanitizing, registration, voluntary filling in the application, and thorough assessment, what awaits these new immigrants will be a three-week "imperial education".

To tell the truth, when Zhu Fugui saw that the people below had come up with this "imperial education", his feelings were quite complicated, and he always felt that he had grown a handful of sanitary beards in the upper part of his people.

But this emperor is not the other emperor, the Ming Dynasty is orthodox!

It's just that in the eyes of many workers who can't eat the ancients, in fact, Zhu Fugui, the Ming Emperor, is also a big thief, so we must start with the Three Emperors and Five Emperors to systematically educate these laborers, so that they can realize what China is, what is barbarianism, what is Zhengshuo, what is a thief who steals the country, and let them know what kind of great changes they are in for 3,000 years.

Meritorious achievements, princes and generals, as long as they work hard, they can be obtained.

However, before fighting for the future, they still have to stay obediently in the Imperial Education Institute, receive course education in the morning, and be taken by the teachers to the farmland or factory in the afternoon to learn engineering and agriculture, labor reform, and hold a grievance meeting and a literacy night school in the evening.
