Chapter 229 Xiongjin New Port

Under the arrangement of King Fu, the promotion of Jinyiwei, and the participation of other people with and without intentions, Luoyang turned into a strange and tempting chess game.

Everyone suddenly thought that they were in this big chess game.

Everyone suddenly thinks that they are the standard-bearers of this chessboard, not pawns at the mercy of others.

Everyone suddenly thought that they could win in this chaotic chessboard, and at worst they could get out of it all.

In fact, from the perspective of Jingshi, this is just one of the countless chaos in the entire empire after dusk or before dawn.

Although Luoyang is approaching the end of spring, more than 3,000 miles away from Luoyang, the port of Bearjin in North Korea has just thawed. As soon as the thaw had been thawed, countless ships loaded with the bell's cargo had already arrived outside the port of Kumatsu.

After more than a year of construction, Kumajin has become the largest trading port in East Asia. The original city walls, barbed wire, and soldiers were divided into two distinctly demarcated areas.

One area is mainly occupied by three ports and docks for berthing ships, and at the back of the pier are rows of warehouses. Beyond the warehouse, there are countless buildings of all kinds, with exaggerated lanterns and signboards indicating that this is the best restaurant, tavern, green house and inn in all of North Korea.

Then the area was enclosed by two high walls one foot high, and in the middle of the two high walls were a thick, rolling, barbed wire fence. On the top of the second high wall, there is a watchtower every ten zhang, and on it are the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty who are loaded with guns.

Behind the high wall, there is a square city, its appearance and architectural style are no different from the city of the Ming Dynasty. In the middle of the city, there is the largest city lord's mansion, and the city lord is not a Ming man, but a North Korean scholar Li Jinhui.

In the southern city, there is the Daming Trade Representative Office. Yue Hesheng and Wen Tiren work and live here. He Renlong was not here, he was stationed in the middle of the two cities with his servant army of more than 1,000 black-clothed troops and 5,000 Korean savages.

Last year, when Yue Hesheng and Wen Tiren received the "Xiongjin Port Development Strategy" left by His Majesty the Emperor, both of them were surprised to feel the vision of their emperor and a kind of terror that crushed their intelligence.

In their eyes, his Majesty the Emperor was like a giant dragon, using countless ingenious methods to encircle a huge sheepfold. Then, all the demands were that they would keep making the fold bigger and bigger, and that they would keep it firmly for the Empire, so that their own country could continue to harvest wool and flesh from the fold.

Initially, when the Ming people entered the city. All the rich people ran away with their money and their families. In addition, they further expanded the small city of Xiongjin, and suddenly, the city became empty.

Soon, some daring Korean savages began to enter the undefended city. They are very simple, they are to line up through several checkpoints during the day to go to the docks to do coolies. Then he came back in the evening and stayed in an empty house and a random shed on the street. There has been an increase in the number of displaced people, who have clashed violently with civilians in the cities.

Wen Tiren not only did not stop it, but also catalyzed this struggle more and more fiercely through the bad people under his control. Finally, when the civilians in the city found out that their yellow flower girl had died in the shantytown of the homeless people, the contradiction between the two groups finally broke out.

Two groups of thousands of people began a large-scale weapon fight in Kumajin City with the most rudimentary tools.

Wen Tiren didn't even look at it, and let them fight day and night.

Whoever loses the battle will unexpectedly find some rudimentary weapons, silver or food in their area. With the replenishment of these materials, those who lost the battle began to recruit troops and start a new wave of struggle.

A month later, the strongest and most organized of the two groups died at the hands of their own people. At this time, both civilians and displaced people were on the verge of collapse without food or drink. Initial Update@

Without consultation, both groups of people sat at the door of the Daming Trade Representative Office and began to ask the Daming Trade Representative to make their own decisions. Yue Hesheng didn't even show his face, and he gained the rules of Xiongjin City that he wanted to formulate.

"Everyone who enters Kumajin must go to the City Lord's Mansion to register for a household registration. (This chapter is not finished!) )

。 ”

"This is a request from both of you, is there a problem?" Wen Tiren stood in the middle of the two groups of people, watching as if their demands had been put into words.

"No problem! No problem! ”

Both groups felt that their request was respected.

Wen Tiren nodded.

"The vacant houses in the city were divided according to their houses and used to house the displaced people in the city. The displaced people who have obtained the house pay rent to the city lord's mansion every month, and the city lord's mansion will use the rent to build a school and hire a teacher to open a Mongolian school for the children in the city. ”

"Is there a problem with this paragraph?"

The common people in the city were very reluctant to give the vacated houses of large families to these displaced people. But once I saw that one courtyard of these large families was about to be squeezed into more than 30 households, I felt that it was feasible.

"No problem!" This is the voice of the homeless.

"Agreed!" This is the voice of civilians.

"Is there a problem with organizing bad people among the civilian population to patrol the city and ensure a stable life?"

"No problem!" This is the voice of the homeless.

"Agreed!" This is the voice of civilians.

"Is there a problem with changing the ten taxes of Seoul into the fifteen taxes of the Ming Dynasty?"

"No problem!" This is the voice of the homeless.

"Agreed!" This is the voice of civilians.

The fierce internal struggle of the North Koreans has turned into a happy ending for all three parties, and Wen Tiren has no pride in the specific operation.

"The Ming Empire will be the arbiter of Xiongjin. And not managers and enforcers. ”

He looked at the words left by His Majesty the Emperor, and he was really proud.

"With the Ming people as the top layer, the Korean scholars and officials as the middle level, and the Korean civilians as the bottom, the empire's first overseas city was constructed." Yue Hesheng pointed to His Majesty the Emperor's words and made a gesture to Wen Tiren to continue cheering.

In this way, in just one year, Kumajin has become a port city of 100,000 people. Yue Hesheng can also use the hundreds of thousands of taels of silver he received every month to continuously provide the purchased military supplies and daily necessities to the front line in Liaodong.

"What a beautiful city!"

Wen Tiren and Yue Harmony stood at the highest point of Kumazu Harbor.

More than 70 large ships of all kinds were anchored in the ocean at the end of the harbor. Countless dinghys unloaded countless supplies from the big ships onto the docks, and then countless ants carried all kinds of supplies from the small boats to the warehouse.

In the farthest distance, four new warships purchased by Wen Tiren for more than 300,000 taels were cruising outside the port, and from time to time they began to randomly check the ships passing by to ensure the safety of the port. On the mountain bags on both sides of Xiongjin, two teams under Sun Yuanhua, who had exchanged supplies for supplies, were building shore defense cannons.

In the port, after the trade transaction is completed, the merchant goes to the port with the contract stamped with the seal of the Ming Trade Office, and after paying the tax in kind or silver according to the amount of the contract transaction, he leads more or less ants to transport the materials in the warehouse to his empty ship again.

Wen Tiren and Yue Harmony watch it every day, but they never get tired of watching it.

"I'm old, I'm old, I didn't expect the old man to have such a day." Yue Hesheng had turned into an old man by the sea, with gray hair and beard, and his face and hands were covered with dense small wounds blown by the cold wind on the beach.

"Even if the old man dies here, the old man doesn't care."

Lord Yue laughed. It can be seen that the court and His Majesty have no intention of letting us work here for a long time. I read yesterday's Di newspaper, Sun Chuanting Sun was also transferred back to Beijing from the Naturalization City on the grassland, Xiong Wencan's ship repair days in Tianjin are not good, maybe, the imperial court will transfer you back with an edict. ”

Yue Hesheng didn't care, he was really satisfied, and if he really wanted him to return to the court, he really had to hesitate. But he also knew that the young man beside him was still unwilling in his heart after all.

There is also news of Zhou Yanru in the newspaper, and there is also news of Qian Qianyi, but Wen Tiren did not say anything.
