"The Governor of the Expeditionary Army sent troops to return to the king, our army is brave and tenacious, and has successfully completed the battle against Liu, and has achieved the expected results!"

As soon as Ansan returned to Meaux, he ran to the Red Room to resume his life.

Yan Zheng got up and saluted back, and said with a smile: "Hard work, General An!" ”

An Shan said angrily: "It's not hard, this errand is a little more uncomfortable to take a boat!" ”

"Well, the army in the future should be assembled in Yangang, and they should practice more boat riding in normal times!" Yan Zheng nodded, and then asked, "Then how did you do the thing that you asked you to do this time?" ”

An San said: "Zhang Sheng and Zhao Chenglin are sorting out and basically finding out the situation. ”

"Tell me about it!" Yan Zheng took out a notepad.

An San looked back for a while, and said slowly: "This Ryukyu Hanmin is not as many as I imagined, and it is definitely not as many as I thought before. ”

"Oh, didn't Zheng Bin say that the Han people on the Ryukyus are afraid that there are far more than 100,000?"

"That's right! If the natives who will farm the land and the natives and slaves are counted as Han Chinese, then I am afraid that there are 100,000. However, this time, Zhang Sheng and Zhao Chenglin seized some household registers in the No. 1 market town, and concluded that the situation was 20% of the Han people, plus 80% of the local people.

When we went to the village to investigate, the results were similar, our language was the same as that of the natives, and we got a lot of information from them. ”

Yan Zheng's brows furrowed, but he immediately relaxed again, but the number of Hanmin was a little smaller, and it didn't affect the overall situation.

"What about the land?"

Ansan said seriously: "This is a bit complicated, in general, in a village, a few Han families occupy more than half of the land, and all of these Han people have some relationship with the big family. The rest of the Han people have land, and if the local people are concerned, very few have a little land, and most of them are tenants of the Han people. ”

"It is said that if the Han people did not teach the natives to cultivate, these natives would not have been able to farm. Therefore, the Han people who crossed the sea in the early days reclaimed a large amount of land and became big landlords. ”

Yan Zheng nodded, not surprised, in fact, the situation in Nanyang is the same, in history, it was also the Han people who went to various wild islands, so there were pieces of fertile land.

"So, most of the people who grow sugarcane are big landowners?"

"I didn't have time to understand this, but half of the fields in the Ryukyus are indeed sugarcane seedlings, and we don't know exactly how to produce them!" Ansan replied.

Yan Zheng snorted and said, "If these don't matter, what is the sense of belonging of the Ryukyu people to the imperial court?" ”

"It's interesting!" Ansan said with a smile: "When we triumphed, many people on Kume Island begged us to stay, especially the women who invited us to wash the pulp, and they even knelt down and begged one by one, and the rest of the place was similar, anyway, as long as we were given money, both the landlords and the small people were willing to sell us vegetables and grain. ”

"The country does not know that there is a people, and the people do not know that there is a country! This is a good phenomenon, in the future, we will set up a factory in the Ryukyus, and it should not be difficult at all to create some common consciousness for the workers! Yan Zheng clapped his hands and praised.

"It's just ......" Yasan hesitated: "The people of Kume Island say that the eldest of their thirty surnames is actually more inclined to the Ming Kingdom, and when the Ryukyus pay tribute, they have their share every time, and they initially seem to be used by the Ming Kingdom to spy on the Ryukyus. ”

The corners of Yan Zheng's mouth twitched, "The people of Kume Island told you this?" ”

"When we visited, we heard a lot of elderly people say that."

"It's hard to do!" Yan Zheng's expression became serious.

"Is the king afraid that Mingguo will ask for guilt?"

"I'm not afraid of this, but now is a period of rapid development, and it's not a good thing to offend Mingguo!" Yan Zheng didn't expect that there would be such a situation in the Ryukyus.

…………

The next day, the House of Representatives reconvened.

The meeting began with a report on the results of the war against the Ryukyus, a victory in the war, and a treaty with the Ryukyus.

It was announced that the wartime situation would be lifted, and all production activities would be transferred to peacetime, and the relevant commendations were approved at the meeting.

According to the decision of the House of Representatives, the soldiers who participated in this battle were collectively recorded for meritorious service of the first class and rewarded with three months' military salary.

Companies with outstanding combat performance are awarded the title of "pacesetter company," and officers with outstanding performance are awarded special meritorious service.

All the combatants were commended without exception, and the right to give commendations was also delegated to each battalion, which was decided by the battalion and company commanders, and then submitted for approval.

In the end, the cabinet came up with the "Proposal on the Establishment of the Ryukyu Branch of Huaxia Sugar Company", which was drafted by Yan Zheng.

In this motion, Yan Zheng elaborated on the importance of the sugar industry to Huaxia and used a series of analyses to show that the conditions for establishing a sugar company are now fully ripe.

Therefore, Huaxia Sugar Company was established, and its headquarters will be located in the southern area of East Qin, which will be reclaimed in the future. At the same time, the establishment of a branch of the Ryukyu Sugar Industry was announced.

After the establishment of the company, it will invest 50,000 taels of silver to open a sugar factory in the Ryukyus.

This bill was passed quickly, and Yan Zheng has always had the final say on this aspect of the industry.

Fujian, Fuzhou City.

In the Ming Dynasty, the division of powers of the city division was very clear.

The Guangdong City Ship Division is dedicated to paying tribute to the Nanyang countries such as Champong, Siam, Manraka and Chenla, and the Zhejiang City Ship Division is in charge of the tributary trade with Japan.

The Fujian City Boshi was in charge of the tributary trade of the Ryukyus. In addition, the Ryukyus, like Korea, are eligible for one tribute a year.

In the eighth year of Chenghua, Fujian City Boshi was adjusted from Quanzhou to Fuzhou.

However, because Fuzhou's land transportation was not as good as Quanzhou's, and commerce was not as prosperous as Quanzhou, the tributary Ryukyu mission, which was usually reported in Fuzhou, went to Quanzhou to trade.

About fifteen days after the Ryukyu beating, the Fuzhou City Boji received the Ryukyu envoy who had filed a complaint.

After understanding the situation, the eunuchs and eunuchs of Fuzhou City's Bosi were all full of suspicion.

Dong Qin that popped up there? What did he do with the Ryukyus? Ryukyu not destroyed? A treaty was signed when it hit the royal city?

The matter was serious, and the two did not dare to slack off, so they immediately reported to the political envoy.

After Liu Yu, the political envoy of Fujian's left cloth, and Jiang Yunhan, the political envoy of the right cloth, met with the Ryukyu envoys, the two also frowned.

To be honest, they know more about this matter, at least they know that Dongqin is Dongfan.

I also know that the threshing machine of Dongqin is helping officials at all levels in Fujian to make political achievements. Without the threshing machine made in Dongqin, I am afraid that Fujian will inevitably have a bad government.

"You can't go unreported, and you can't report it now!" After closing the door, Liu Yu said to Jiang Yunhan.

Jiang Yunhan nodded: "Brother Liu is right, since the Eastern Qin and Ryukyu have stopped the sword soldiers, it means that the Eastern Qin is still reasonable, and there is no intention of destroying the Ryukyus." ”

"Mm-hmm, but it's hard to take Kume Island." Liu Yu sighed.

Jiang Yunhan said: "That's why I can't help but report, the thirty-six surnames on Jiume Island were originally appointed by my imperial ancestors, and they can participate in the tribute for generations, and now they are forcibly occupied, there must always be an explanation." ”

"Then what does Brother Jiang mean to wait for the threshing machine matter to be over, and then report it?"

"There's no better way to do that! Last month, a lot of chapters have been sent, and when the emperor clears up, the will of praise will is almost gone, and when the time comes, no one will be so concerned about the threshing machine anymore! When the time comes, we will report it again and hand it over to the emperor to decide. ”

Liu Yu stroked his beard and said: "It's just that this Eastern Qin is not a vassal of the Ming Dynasty, and it has a dislike with the Ryukyus, so it only signed a peace treaty and occupied Kume Island." If the Ming Dynasty reprimanded on this ground and caused dissatisfaction in the Eastern Qin, this Fujian coastal ......"

"You might as well let the businessman go to the same Dongqin traffic one or two! Find out why they sent troops to the Ryukyus, and figure out why they attacked Kume Island! ”

"Very good!"
