A fleet of ships docked in Shanghai, and before unloading, the passengers on board were first disembarked.

Nowadays, there are no pure passenger ships, and if you want to travel by sea, you have to take cargo ships along the way.

This time, there were passengers with a very big shelf, and before anyone appeared, the sedan chair waited at the door of the cabin. Then he took a sedan chair to the deck, and even when he got off the ship, he sat in the sedan chair all the time.

At the head of the procession were four minions armed with scimitars, followed by four minions armed with long clubs. These eight servants, all wrapped in turbans, are only distinguished by long robes and short robes, and the caste class should be about the same.

Later, a servant, also wrapped in a turban, held a kettle in his hand, and looked at the pattern of the clothes and had a higher status.

This person was accompanied by several servants, both men and women, all holding daily necessities, obviously responsible for daily life.

Immediately there is a large sedan chair carried by four people, and the shape is very different from that of Chinese sedan chairs. A long, curved dome with a metal frame covered with a curtain, the owner recites on his side in a palanquin with a layer of soft velvet underneath.

Velvet, also known as Zhangrong, originated in Fujian, is very expensive in China, and the price of trafficking to South Asia is very outrageous.

The four palanquins, of lower caste, were not qualified to wear turbans, and they did not have robes on their bodies, only wearing shorts and shorts.

Behind this long sedan chair, there are two short sedan chairs, each sitting with a female dependent.

Further behind, there were several servants, all wrapped in turbans and carrying long sticks.

With such pomp and circumstance, marching on the dock, it suddenly attracted a burst of sideways. It's not without pomp and circumstance, but when they get off the ship, they all sit in a sedan chair, which is the first time in Shanghai Port - and they are not afraid that the sedan chair driver will stumble and step on the air, and even people will fall into the sea with the sedan chair.

Of course, Fei Wenwei, a white prostitute party, returned to China, and the two female dependents in the sedan chair were his third wife and fourth wife.

As for the eldest wife and the second wife, they are staying in Bangladesh to give birth because they are pregnant.

As they walked, the line came to an abrupt halt.

Fei Wenwei lay on the sedan chair and asked, "Why don't you leave?" ”

The leader of the servants holding the kettle hurriedly ran to the sedan chair: "Master, we don't know the way." ”

"Forehead ......"

Fei Wenwei pretended to encounter an accident, her expression was a little embarrassed, and she had to say, "To the right." ”

The group came to the inn, and before getting off the sedan chair, there were servants laying a blanket on the ground.

Fei Wenwei stepped on the carpet, stepped into the door of the inn, and said to the shopkeeper: "A few upper rooms, and then help buy a ticket to the lake." ”

"Okay!"

Seeing the high roller, the big shopkeeper personally stepped forward to greet him.

The shopkeeper asked, "Can the guest officer bring the deed?" ”

Fei Wenwei took out a copy of his household registration to register, pointed behind him and said, "These are my family members, and they don't have a domestic guide." ”

The chief shopkeeper wrote down the situation according to the rules, and said while writing: "It turned out to be a noble person doing overseas business, disrespectful, disrespectful!" ”

"Well said." Fei Wenwei shook the folding fan and smiled.

The two wives also came to Fei Wenwei's side, with white skin and beautiful exotic style, and the shopkeeper next to him was a little distracted.

The big shopkeeper asked: "Your guest's surname is Fei, and you want to go to Jiangxi again, but the Fei clan?" ”

Fei Wenwei bragged about his identity when he saw the stitches: "It's too, it's not." My grandfather and His Majesty used to be slaves in the Fei family and lived in the same courtyard for several years. His Majesty raised troops, and his ancestors also served as dragons. ”

The big shopkeeper hurriedly bowed down to visit: "It turned out to be the son of Fei Ge's hometown." ”

Fei Wenwei shook his head and smiled: "No, no." My grandfather and Fei Ge were just childhood friends. However, when it comes to the opportunity with His Majesty, my grandfather met His Majesty earlier than Fei Ge. ”

Although I don't know who Fei Wenwei's grandfather is, as soon as these words came out, the big shopkeeper already knew it.

The big shopkeeper asked, "Is Childe returning from overseas debriefing?" If you plan to play in Shanghai, you can send a guy as a guide. ”

"No, I haven't been home for many years, and I just want to return home as soon as possible," Fei Wenwei said, "I'm just a petty official in Bangladesh." Later, he resigned from his official position, and joined hands with Her Royal Highness the eldest princess to do business, and bought an industry in Bangladesh, with only 10,000 acres of fertile land and a few shops. ”

"It's a big deal!" The big shopkeeper said enviously.

Fei Wenwei took the opportunity to say to the shopkeeper and his men: "The land of Bengal is far away in Tianzhu, and it can be described as full of opportunities. If you have a down-and-out relative who is willing to go to sea to make a living, you can go with me. Not to mention anything else, to ensure that food and clothing are worry-free, and if you mix well, you can also buy farmland. ”

Everyone didn't believe it, even if there was such a good thing, Fei Wenwei couldn't take the initiative to say it.

Fei Wenwei said with a smile: "When I returned to China, Mr. Xia, the governor of Bangladesh, had a long talk with me. There were few Han people there, so he encouraged immigrants and asked me to return to China to publicize more. You can also help spread the word, and if you are willing to go to Bangladesh, you will wait for me here after the Lantern Festival next year. I use my grandfather's reputation to guarantee that as long as I live to Bangladesh, I will be guaranteed to have no worries about food and clothing. Those who don't know how to farm work in Bangladesh. Those who know how to farm will be given directly by the governor! ”

As she spoke, Fei Wenwei spoke loudly again, asking the diners in the inn lobby to help promote it.

There was a lot of discussion at the scene, not only to inquire about immigration policies, but also to inquire about business opportunities in Bangladesh.

Fei Wenwei half-truthfully bragged: "I might as well tell you and others that Bangladesh is a land of ointment, and fertile fields are everywhere." But most of the fertile land was in the hands of the princes of the princes. The two governors of Zheng and Xia, although some land had been confiscated, there were not enough Han Chinese to cultivate it. Now there is a shortage of people and land, thousands of immigrants have been immigrated in recent years, and if you wait and see, when the land is divided, you will miss the opportunity. ”

A merchant asked, "What about the original alien landlords?" ”

Fei Wenwei said with a smile: "The landlord of the confiscated land has long been killed. Those princes of the princely states actually helped the Mughal emperor to fight and offended our Heavenly Dynasty to death. This land was confiscated, and the Han people were not enough, so they could only hand it over to foreign tenants. The governor is not at ease, and he can't wait for the Han people to hurry over. ”

"If you go, you can divide the field?" The shopkeeper asked.

Fei Wenwei said: "In the first few years, it was considered tenant farming. After three years of planting, the Governor's Mansion issued the land deed, and then paid a little more tax every year to redeem it. ”

It turned out that the land was not given away for free, but the fertile land was redeemed in installments through taxes.

It seems that the conditions are more harsh, but everyone is more assured, after all, there is no free lunch in the world.

Some locals are already planning to go home to spread the news and let the poor children in the township form groups to go to sea.

From Shanghai to Hukou by boat, every time she docks, Fei Wenwei will inevitably publicize. First, he pretended to brag about himself, and secondly, he also fulfilled the instructions of Governor Xia Wanchun.

He returned to his hometown in Lead Mountain and will continue to promote.

Immigrants from other states and counties can be resettled along the coast. As for fellow villagers from Lead Mountain, Fei Wenwei will personally arrange to help them gain a firm foothold in their own "turf".

As the family business gets bigger and bigger, Fei Wenwei, a white prostitute party, is becoming more and more weak-hearted.

Because he is located on the border of Bangladesh, where the Han population is negligible. In the event of a riot, the governor will not be able to send troops to the rescue, and he will most likely be dismantled by the natives.

It is necessary to organize more fellow villagers to go over and help them settle down so that they can have a foil for each other.

With two wives and twenty or thirty servants, Fei Wenwei returned to his hometown with swaggering clothes.

When he arrived in Hekou Town, Leadshan County, Fei Wenwei appeared in a sedan chair, which immediately caused a great sensation.

After all, this product belongs to a loser, and he was penniless when he left his hometown, and it was developed again in a few years.

Immediately, there was a small man who used to fight together, and he ran away from the shop in the town: "Fifth Brother Fei, do you remember me?" ”

"Haha, You San, why don't I remember?" Fei Wenwei laughed.

You San flattered: "The fifth brother has done a good job, it is really promising, and I hope that the fifth brother will carry him in the future." ”

Fei Wenwei said: "You dare to go to sea with me, and I guarantee that you will eat and drink spicy food." ”

"Really?" You are especially happy.

Fei Wenwei said: "If you can recruit 50 good families, let's go to Bangladesh together." If nothing else, you can definitely get 500 acres of land. The rest of those good families have 100 acres of land per person! ”

This product has to play a big ticket, and the words that come out are ominous and untrue, but it is not pure foolishness!

In Bangladesh, the Chamindar system is practiced.

There are about 25,000 villages in the whole region, divided into more than 1,600 fields.

In a large field area, a large chai Mindar was in charge of collecting taxes, and as long as he paid the full amount of taxes to the governor (formerly the emperor), the rest of the taxes could go into his own pocket. Below the Great Chaymindar, it is divided into a number of small Chamindar and Tarukhdar.

The agricultural tax was subcontracted layer by layer, and even the governor (or emperor) could not figure out what was going on. Big Chai Mindar can't figure out what the situation is with Little Chai Mindar.

This regional tax right can be inherited, bought and sold, or rewarded by a governor or prince.

Even, it can be rented out temporarily.

For example, some guys who defected to the Mughal emperor were deprived of the right to tax by Zheng Sen. The right to package taxes in those areas was leased by Zheng Sen to other princes of the princely states, and the rights to tax were taken back at any time.

As for a certain piece of land, who exactly it belongs to, no one can figure it out, because there is no land deed at all!

Anyway, my grandfather and father are cultivating this land, so I will cultivate this land. In other words, if my grandfather and father reclaimed the wasteland, then the right to cultivate the wasteland is mine. In principle, however, the peasants had only the right to cultivate, and the ownership of the land, which had previously belonged to the emperor, now to the governor's palace.

There is no land deed, there is no yellow book, and it is assumed that someone can cultivate a certain land.

A small chamindar was responsible for collecting agricultural taxes from one or several villages. They then handed over the agricultural taxes to the larger Chamindar, layer by layer, without interfering with each other.

Historically, the British colonists were so confused that they had no idea how many peasants and land they owned, and they had to deal with some of the big chamindals. They tried to introduce a more advanced system of landlord ownership, but they had no choice but to declare it unsuccessful. Then he forcibly collected the rights of Chamindar and auctioned off the rights to include taxes, but because the tax amount was too high, it could not be auctioned at all.

Eventually, the British succumbed.

Fei Wenwei claimed that he had 10,000 acres of fertile land, but in fact he only had the right to tax 10,000 acres of fertile land. And the means of obtaining it are extremely disgraceful, partly from the dowry of four wives, and partly from the four fathers-in-law.

When he returned to China this time, he planned to recruit hundreds of fellow villagers and lead people to seek more tax rights.

If you can get the right to tax on credit from the governor, you can do so on credit. If that wasn't enough, then ask the Governor for a loan and buy it at a low price by way of buying and selling (the Governor, with the help of raising taxes, could have forced some of the Chamindar into bankruptcy).

Why would Governor Xia Wanchun cooperate?

Of course, the tax package system was too backward to manage the population and land, and it was not convenient for the governor to squeeze the colonies.

Zheng Sen and Xia Wanchun discussed maintaining the old system in the face of the natives, and promoting the landlords and yeoman farmers through Han Chinese immigration.

Fei Wenwei just learned about the policy, and planned to pull his fellow villagers over, and everyone was Chai Mingdal. Even ordinary peasant families, as long as they follow him, can get the right to tax 100 acres of land. Then, through various means, with the possibility of immigration, or rewarding native slaves, the right to tax was converted into land ownership, and finally became a landlord recognized by the Governor's Office.

As long as they do not occupy land indiscriminately, this practice will not cause dissatisfaction among the princes of the princely states, but only encroach on the interests of the tax collectors and peasants. Even, you can join forces with the princes of the princes of the Tubang to get more benefits together.

The premise is to have the ability to collect taxes!

At present, Fei Wenwei collects taxes, relying on the support of the governor on the one hand, and the reputation of his four fathers-in-law on the other. This has reached the limit, we must pull more fellow villagers over, let each fellow villager develop strength, and everyone can unite to continue to grow.

Fei Wenwei asked You San to help publicize it, the more people recruited, the better, even if he can't farm the market hooligans, he can also be brought to Bangladesh to be a tax collector.

The goods returned to their house, and his mother and two brothers had received the news of his return.

"Mother, I have 10,000 acres of fertile land overseas, don't be afraid that I will come back to fight for the family property," Fei Wenwei held her head high, and said loudly when she met, "This is my wife and concubine and slave, and two wives and concubines are pregnant, and they can't stand running around and haven't brought them back." I'm not a loser, I'm a self-made master overseas! ”

My mother and two younger brothers looked at each other when they saw this battle.

At this moment, the Fei family's shop buddy in Ehu Town quickly ran and said, "Madam, the old man and the old lady have returned to their hometown!" ”

The old man is Fei Yinghuan, and the title is promoted to the prince of the country.

Of course, Fei Yinghuan's Guogong belongs to the honorary title, after all, his son Fei Ruhe is already a prince. After Fei Yinghuan's death, the second son could inherit his original marquis.

Hearing that Fei Yinghuan and his wife returned to their hometown to care for the elderly, everyone hurriedly ran to greet them, and even ordinary farmers went to pay their respects.

Fei Wenwei, who was about to pretend to be forced, was suddenly interrupted by the rhythm, and this force must not be able to pretend.

He said to his Bengali wife and servants, "Quickly put down the palanquin and come with me to the prince!" ”

(The whole family is yang, and Lao Wang seems to be yang.) But there was no fever, but a low temperature for several days in a row, and the body temperature was often below 36 degrees. Apart from tiredness and drowsiness, there are no other symptoms. Moreover, allergic rhinitis is inexplicably better than half. Let's take defensive measures, and try to get as late as possible. ）
