Popular hearts are available!

Looking at the enveloped execution receipts, Yan Zheng's heart was warm, and the people were really the most sensible.

Whoever is good to them, they follow! To say that they are treacherous and cunning is to disrupt the people, which is purely a lack of self-confidence and a nervous breakdown.

If Dongqin is a blank piece of paper, Yan Zheng can confidently say that the background color has been outlined on this blank paper.

This background color is not the thick background color of the feudal dynasty, but a light, gorgeous, infinite possibility, and full of vitality background color.

The generation that grows up under this background will become a real new generation!

The imprint on their bodies will motivate them to take the initiative to accept a higher mission!

Yan Zheng got up and sighed, from the time he launched the call to the time when a grain ship set off for Ryukyu, the whole process only passed three days.

This is already the limit of what can be done, and it is impossible for Eastern Qin to keep taking out precious food to feed the Ryukyus, after all, Eastern Qin is about to enter the stage of hurricane, and large tracts of land are waiting to be developed.

After thinking about it, he wrote a letter to Ah Ku, asking him to find a way to exchange sugar for grain, whether it is to Japan or Daming, you can transport sugar to try it.

…………

Chatan Castle, Ryukyu Sugar Factory.

Ah Ku and the rest of the officials are all anxious at the moment.

It has been a full eleven days since the receipt was issued.

Over the past eleven days, the situation in the Ryukyus has deteriorated rapidly, and rumors and hostility about the sugar mills have surged.

I don't know who it is, but it is rumored that the sugar factory made a lot of sugar and sent out a lot of silver, so that the sugar and silver of the Ryukyus were worthless.

Therefore, the price of food has increased several times, and other things have also risen, and if you want to buy something, you have to use copper money!

The copper coins that could be exchanged for silver also fell by half, as if it had been agreed, and these Ryukyu landlords and merchants, one by one, began to raise prices.

Ah Ku knew that these people who followed the trend were probably trying to knock on the bowl to drink some soup, but since then, a one-sided situation has been formed.

Even more vicious rumors were spread, saying that the black smoke from the Ryukyu sugar factory would reduce grain production and bring suffering and plague to the Ryukyus.

This statement was intertwined with the previous rumors, and immediately aroused the anger of the unknown people.

These people have not yet run out of cooking, and when they have nothing and their families are about to starve to death, they may make some big mess.

But Aku couldn't do anything now, and sent a letter to the lord of the Ryukyus, but only received an ambiguous reply, obviously preparing to delay.

Sit down

In the office, Ah Ku felt so tired, where had he seen such a complicated situation before?

He couldn't help but sigh that it was the king who governed Dongqin too well, so they had never seen such a sinister thing.

"Boss, no! It is rumored that farmers from the next few cities plan to come to our sugar factory to discuss the law! Suddenly, several locally hired workers ran to the bottom of the cadre building and shouted.

Ah Ku hurriedly asked people to let them in, and after these people came in, they knelt on the ground and reported: "Boss, something is wrong! Several cities next door are in series, saying that it is our sugar factory, and they have no food to eat, so they must dismantle the sugar factory in order to increase the price of sugar and rice, and avoid famine and epidemic! ”

"Also, in the past two days, several people who have been talking about acquisitions have been beaten! It hasn't been a deal for several days! ”

"Not only that, but there are also people who want to go to Shuri Castle to petition and ask the Ryukyu court to drive the Eastern Qin people away!"

Ah Ku sat down weakly, looking at these workers, and felt very uncomfortable.

He knew that the loyalty of these workers was based on their interests in the factory, and that without high wages, these people would definitely choose to believe the outside world!

The rumors released by the landlords and wealthy families are equivalent to setting up a target here, so that these people can understand that the matter of grain and sugar prices was provoked by the people of Dongqin after they came.

No matter what side of the truth is, as long as the people of Eastern Qin are gone, they will be able to do the same as before, so these people can't believe it!

"The sugar from the farmers around our North Valley City has already been made, right?" Ah Ku asked.

A worker nodded and said, "That's right, the people on our side understand the benevolence and righteousness of the owner, and they won't believe those nonsense!"

Ah Ku sighed, in the final analysis, it is still a matter of interests, the people around Beigu City, if they can believe them, they simply see the real benefits, and the people in the rest of the places have not received benefits, but they have suffered the disadvantages brought by the Eastern Qin people, so they will naturally be angry.

"Let out the news, starting tomorrow, the sugar factory will sell grain at a low price! What was the price before, we are the price! ”

Several workers were shocked, hesitated, and chose to retreat at the order.

Soon, a notice was posted outside the sugar factory that the sugar factory would sell grain at a low price, and could also send sugar cane to pay for grain.

It's just that there is a limit of two catties per person per day, and those who sell sugarcane to sugar factories can buy 100 catties at one time.

……

"You're crazy!"

After learning that he was going to start selling grain, Zhang Sheng ran to Ah Ku's office angrily.

Ah Ku glanced at him and said, "If you don't sell it, someone will dismantle the factory tomorrow, and the people who are in a hurry, that's it."

Black pressed a large piece! ”

"That can't sell grain either! The little food that the Zheng family got can't last for two days! When the time comes, the grain from Dongqin will not arrive, and we will not be able to take out the grain, and those who did not buy it later will be even more angry! ”

"And what do you think should be done?" Ah Ku is also impatient.

"What else can I do, let Battalion Commander Long immediately transfer the fifth battalion to the north, I don't believe it, the soldiers are coming to the city, they dare to be so presumptuous!"

"But after this time, will you send troops next time? Doesn't this mean that our Huaxia Kingdom does not have the ability to gain a foothold in the Ryukyus, so what is the management and assimilation? Akuyang retorted with his hand.

Zhang Sheng was very angry, when he followed the army to fight Shuri City, these landlords and wealthy families were so honest and honest!

"Then destroy the Ryukyus, kill this group of thieves one by one, and then come to subdue the people!"

Ah Ku snorted and said, "If you destroy the Ryukyus, you don't want political influence?" Do you know that Ryukyu was a vassal of the Ming Kingdom? Now in our foreign trade, the Ming country occupies more than half, and you are also a Ming person, don't you understand this truth? ”

"Are you just sitting back and waiting to die!" Zhang Sheng sat down angrily.

Ah Ku sighed and said: "If you have confidence in the king and the compatriots in your own country, I don't believe that except for the military strength, we can't win these feudal remnants!" We are the representatives of advanced productive forces and civilization! ”

"Aggrieved, that is, aggrieved, when I signed the contract last time, these thieves should be punished!" Zhang Sheng turned his face and said.

"Alright, drink some honey to cool off!" Ah Ku poured him a glass of sugar water.

"Comrade Aku, good news!" Just when the two of them were staring at each other, Song February's smile ran in.

"Is it Dongqin's grain that has arrived?" Ah Ku asked hurriedly.

Song February, "No, Ashin and Captain Li have arrived on Kume Island with a fleet, and after hearing about the situation, they are ready to stay, we now have the strength to blockade Naha Port!" He also sent 20,000 taels of silver, so that we must be stable! ”

"Ashin? How did he get here? ”

Song February: "Their trip was to Japan, starting from Yangang, all the way to visit Shandong, Korea, and several forces in Japan, and finally came to our Ryukyus!"

"Okay, good, there are many people with more strength, there is a fleet, and there is some deterrence! These wealthy families must also have overseas business, and they will sell the sugar when they collect it, so let the fleet start cruising in the waters off the port of Naha! Ah Ku hurriedly took out a piece of official paper and began to explain the situation, writing a receipt to explain the situation.
