Chapter 225: Preparing for War
After signing the trade treaty, Wang Yan bought a copy of the "Huaxia Foreign Commercial Law" for one tael of silver.
After receiving the documents issued by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Huaxia, he immediately said goodbye and left.
In fact, this is not formal, and when it is completely developed in the future, a qualification review process will be added.
For example, send someone to Mingguo to investigate the family background and feel the situation, and then issue documents.
In short, it will be so formal that it can no longer be formal, and being able to get the documents is equivalent to going through a qualification.
These businessmen with documents will also hold this qualification and naturally form a business alliance.
They may compete, but when it comes to cooperation, they will definitely be inclined to the merchant who took the paperwork.
It's just that to Yan Zheng's surprise, on the fifth day after Wang Yan left, Song Derong came to Mocheng again.
This was the first time after the founding of the People's Republic of China that the Song family sent Song Derong to discuss matters.
When he arrived in Meaux, he congratulated the founding of the country, and then respectfully accepted the new terms and regulations.
A new treaty was also signed with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and a special acquaintance was made with the institutions that are now in Meoc.
Then he explained his intention and directly told Yan Zheng how many threshers they wanted.
Even as long as the unit price does not exceed five taels of silver, they are willing to spend this money to buy.
It was another threshing machine, which surprised Yan Zheng at the same time, and he was also busy asking what happened.
Song Derong had nothing to hide, and informed Yan Zheng of the dedication of the threshing machine by Feng Xu, the prefect of Zhangzhou, and the decree issued by Emperor Hongzhi.
Yan Zheng woke up from a dream, he thought that Daming was an agricultural country, and the thresher would definitely have a large market, but he ignored that Daming was based on farming.
In the past dynasties of China, in agricultural affairs, absolutely no matter what kind of tricks and tricks.
Therefore, looking through the history books, among the works of ancient scientific and technological inventions, agricultural books account for the largest share.
In almost every dynasty's scientific works, one or two agricultural books can always be found, and Chinese scholars do not think that summarizing agricultural books is a very vulgar thing.
As for the promotion of agricultural tools and improved seeds, not only Zhu Yuanzhang has done it, but Zhu Di has also done it.
It's just strange that the promotion of corn, sweet potatoes and potatoes was only recorded by the magistrates of the Ming Dynasty, but the imperial court did not seem to know about the existence of these crops.
The same was true of the Qing Dynasty, where there was a symbolic blindness, and there seems to be no record of the promotion of new crops.
…………
In the red room, after meeting Song Derong, Yan Zheng frowned and was thinking about it.
I was a little excited at first, then a little scared, but after thinking about it, I felt that this was an opportunity.
The emperor made a decree, so he hoped that the people would know about this thing, and he might not care how many farmers could promote it, nor would he care how much it would cost.
What he cares about is that this thing is conducive to farming, so the people who use it can try to use it first.
Anyway, slowly the folk will become familiar with it, and there will always be craftsmen who will be willing to build it.
And the idea of the magistrate is naturally to please the emperor, if after a few months, their superiors, the imperial officials guarding the town, can see that there are a large number of threshers under their rule, then their names will definitely be sent to the emperor.
The name can make the emperor look at it, and that's all excellent!
Yan Zheng was also immersed in Vanity Fair for several years in his previous life, and he still understands the truth that the world is as black as a crow.
After thinking about it, he found Ah Ku and directly wrote a special order to him: "From today onwards, the First Machinery Factory will start producing threshers in three shifts, but the shipment of threshers will be managed by the cabinet!" ”
"Cabinet management?" Ah Ku was stunned for a moment.
"That's right, who to ship to, how much, I need to know and approve!" Yan Zheng said solemnly.
Ah Ku nodded: "Then do other factories need to cooperate?" ”
"Yes, in short, the production of the thresher first!" Yan Zheng said.
Ah Ku promised and walked down with a special order.
Yan Zheng found Lu Wan again and asked, "How is the reorganization of the sixth battalion?" ”
Lu Wan reported: "It has been recruited, half of them are recruited by the surrounding tribes, and half are recruited from the Ming village!" ”
"That's good! Intensify training, and there is one more battalion! Yan Zheng said seriously.
Lu Wan was also stunned, and wondered: "This is just the expansion of a battalion, why do you want to form a seventh battalion?" ”
"It's okay, I can afford it now! The number of tribes that pay taxes to us increased by 20% last year, and many tribes did not go to draw ding, so this matter was done! Yan Zheng smiled lightly.
"In such a hurry, is there a battle to be fought?" Lu Wan suddenly said excitedly.
Yan Zheng nodded: "We may have appeared in the field of vision of the Ming Kingdom, I am always a little uneasy, it will not be wrong to expand a battalion and prepare!" ”
In fact, there is one more thing he didn't say, and that is that he is preparing to attack the Ryukyus!
According to his plan, attacking the Ryukyus would at least lead to an unequal treaty, even if he could not support a puppet regime.
In this way, the privileges of the Huaxia Kingdom in the Ryukyus could be implemented.
Just attacking Ryukyu will definitely make the Ming Dynasty dissatisfied, after all, Ryukyu is a tributary state.
So the threshing machine incident is an accident and an opportunity.
The surprise is that the emperor will make an order, and the opportunity lies in the emperor's order! This is both a good thing and a bad thing!
…………
Ningbo Mansion, Xiangshan Bay is an inner bay, presenting a "human" character.
Since this is an alluvial sediment area, there are many tankers.
There is a deep-water port here called Xiangshan Port, which is very desolate because of smuggling and tribute, which is generally not carried out here.
After returning to the village to worship, Lehi Dog took people to patrol this harbor all the time.
Accompanying him was Wang Jiang's family, the reason why he was looking for a woman from Wang Jiang's family was because it was trouble-free!
After all, there are very few people who have not shaved their heads, and people like Li Haigou and Tian Wu, who have been running to the Ming Dynasty, have never shaved their heads.
And Wang Jiang's family is also from Tanhu, they went to Wang Jiang's village before, and after spending more than 500 taels of silver, they persuaded more than 300 Tanhu to go to Eastern Qin.
This first batch of people has already taken the No. 2 transport ship and headed towards Dongqin.
Things went well at first, but when the kinship ran out, the enrollment situation began to be unsatisfactory.
A group of people walked and stopped, looking at the Tando boat that appeared in front of them, Tando Village is actually a boat and a shed, and they usually live on the boat, and occasionally dock and rest in the shed for the night.
Lehi looked at it and said, "The first few batches of persuasion are not moving, I don't know if this batch can be persuaded or not!" ”
"It's still possible to call a few, but I don't think it's effective if we do it!" Wang Jiang said.
"You're saying you can't just give money!" Lehi asked the dog.
Wang Jiang nodded: "These Tan households are not related to us, we give silver, they want to sell their sons and daughters, their lives are really bad, they may choose to believe us!" But the rest of them may still think that we are lying to them! ”
"I'm used to suffering, I'm used to being poor, I'm used to being unlucky!" Lehi Dog sighed.
Wang Jiang stopped and said, "So! Let's have to change the way, do you know what is the most common sentence of the king to educate cadres? ”
"What?"
"Seek truth from facts, everything will change with time, place, and conditions, so you must figure out these points first!"
"Did you figure it out?"
Wang Jiang shook his head and said: "I thought about it from the standpoint of Tanhu, and felt that if I were them, they would not believe us for no reason, and the important thing now is that we have to solve the problem of trust." The advantage we have is only the silver in our hands. If we can, we can put more effort into it and see people's hearts over time! But this time, it is clear that you want to quickly gather these populations. ”
"Say a thousand things and ten thousand, no matter how good we say Dongqin's policy, they don't dare to believe us easily! So I think, it's better than this! Let's first recruit a few people in each village in the form of a deed, and then let them come back to help persuade them after they go to Dongqin and see a circle! ”
Lehi Dog thought for a moment, nodded and said, "That makes sense!" ”
