Chapter 338: Some people are alive, but they are more miserable than dead
These people have lost their value and participated in the rebellion, which also shows that these people are the most unstable group of people in Annam, and Li Jin naturally does not want to see these people still living in Annam.
These people were coaxed on the ship by Zhu Di, they thought that they were going to Daming because of their great merit and were rewarded by the Ming Emperor, but when they got off the boat, they appeared on a big island near Wa Island.
It was one of the transit points for the slave trade between Wajima and Daming and Annam, and all slaves who flowed into or out of Wajima had to be reformed here.
Those who succeed in the transformation will be sold to all parts of Wajima, and from then on live a slave-like life, working hard and resenting, living a dark life, until the end of their miserable life completely.
And those who fail to transform will be happier, because they will be thrown into the sea to feed the sharks, and although they die, at least they will not accept the inhumane torture.
Some people live, but they are more miserable than dead.
It's about these Annam slaves, as well as the Wajima slaves.
After the arrival of the Annan people, they originally wanted to resist, but after several blows, these people gradually became honest, and like the Japanese people, they began to gradually get used to orders and prohibitions, and they were beaten and scolded, and they did not dare to fight back.
Li Jin carried out various things together, such as the slave trade, cash-for-work, and the expansion of infrastructure, and every day official documents drifted from all over Annam like snowflakes, filling up Li Jin's case.
At this moment, Li Jin finally showed his most terrifying scene, which also made Zhu Di understand why Li Jin was able to build Shanghu County, from the poorest county, into the most prosperous city in the Ming Dynasty.
Zhu Di slowly became interested in government affairs, and began to plan to learn from Li Jin how to deal with official documents.
But the scene in front of him made Zhu Di feel dumbfounded.
I saw that from the time a piece of paper appeared in Li Jin's hands to the end when Li Jin finished processing, there was never a time for more than twenty breaths.
Li Jin just glanced at it from top to bottom, and quickly made a judgment, which made Zhu Di feel that Li Jin was too child's play.
He immediately asked Li Jin if he was too irresponsible to the people, and he made a decision without even reading the official document, and it was easy to make mistakes.
Li Jin asked Zhu Di rhetorically, who said that he didn't finish reading the official document? He has read all the official documents.
Zhu Di didn't believe it, so he directly randomly selected an official document and asked Li Jin about its contents.
Li Jin didn't blink his eyes, he recited the content in it, and it was word-for-word, which made Zhu Di completely dumbfounded.
He really couldn't believe that Li Jin had really read all the official documents, so he took a few more official documents, but the results of the test were the same as the first one.
Zhu Dimeng, what is Li Jin? Ten lines at a glance? Unforgettable? Triple Purpose?
Horror, horror!!
Zhu Di completely convinced Li Jin and willingly gave Li Jin a hand, under Li Jin's simple and efficient work, Annan is undergoing rapid changes.
As time passed, Annam's infrastructure began to improve, and Li Jin began to build a highway from Hanoi to Ho Po.
In Li Jin's plan, this highway will be the main artery of Hanoi, and it will be the most important link to push Annam's economy to the top.
Of course, in addition to the highway, there is also the port.
Haicheng Port, the largest port in Annam, was ordered by Li Jin to be expanded at least tenfold, and this will be the sea transportation line of Annam.
In this way, one south and one north, sea and land transportation, even if the transportation facilities in Annam are temporarily erected, the details in the future need to be slowly improved.
Seeing that the house had been almost cleaned, Li Jin planned to start recruiting the people of the Ming Dynasty to come to Annan, after all, no matter how beautiful the house was, it would still have to live in the end.
He immediately revised a letter to Zhu Biao of Hepu County, suggesting that he should come to Annan to discuss the next step in the development of Annan and Hepu County.
In fact, the reason why he wrote this letter was to use Zhu Biao's power, after all, Zhu Biao's father, Master Huang, was a big celebrity around the emperor.
If you want to succeed in immigration, you still have to rely on the help of Master Huang.
After writing it, Li Jin sent it to Hepu County, and then began to plan to build a shipyard and a steel mill in Haichenggang.
...
Hepu County.
Zhu Biao has been a lot more idle recently, because after more than half a year of hard work, he is finally on the right track.
The liuguan has also completed the training, although the training time is not long, but it is only two and a half months, but it is enough to be qualified for some work of managing the local people.
With the help of these liuguan, Zhu Biao's work is more than half easier, and then he only needs to grasp the general direction of Hepu County, continue to collect the displaced people, and annex Tusi, so that the land reform can be smoothly implemented.
Although those toasts were sent to the capital by Zhu Biao, as long as these toasts can understand current affairs, they will not be killed.
Even Zhu Yuanzhang bought a horse for his daughter, and bought a lot of money from Tusi, at least to ensure that these people can be a rich man honestly.
Of course, the opening of the sea in Hepu County is also a very important thing, but the process of opening the sea has been strictly stipulated by Li Jin, and now after a few months of trial, the rules and regulations have long been formed.
The rules and regulations have been formed, and Zhu Biao does not need to spend too much energy to manage, after all, there is a city shipping department in the port, so Zhu Biao's main two tasks are now gradually on the right track, and he can finally rest for a while.
However, just when he was about to rest for two days, Li Jin's letter arrived in Hepu County at an inopportune time.
Seeing Li Jin's earnest words, Zhu Biao knew that Li Jin must have something to ask for himself.
After thinking for a while, Zhu Biao decided to go to Annan to have a look, after all, Annan is adjacent to Hepu, if the two places can really develop together, it can indeed quickly drive the economic development of Annan and Hepu.
It just so happened that there was time now, and after Zhu Biao explained the relevant matters to his subordinates, he immediately went to the port, intending to arrive in Annan by boat.
...
When Zhu Biao disembarked from Haisheng Port in Annam, he almost thought he had returned to Shanghu County.
The huge port is full of Chinese style, busy laborers, and they are also wearing Ming costumes, which makes people look extremely kind.
Even the signs at the port are written in Chinese characters, which makes Zhu Biao feel like time and space are out of order.
After being in a trance for a long time, even Zhu Di and Li Jin walked in front of him, and he didn't notice it.
"Big brother, what are you looking at?"
"Don't you even know me and Master Li?"
Zhu Di's voice finally brought Zhu Biao back to reality, and seeing Li Jin looking at him with a smile on his face, Zhu Biao smiled a little embarrassedly:
"Ahaha, this port of Annam looks too familiar, and it feels like a revisit to the old country, which is a bit of a doppelganger."
"When did you come? I didn't even see it just now. ”
Zhu Di whispered:
"We came early in the morning, but you didn't see it."
Zhu Biao didn't pay attention to Zhu Di, but looked at Li Jin and said:
"Master Li, congratulations, I didn't expect that in just half a year, you will be promoted to a member of the third grade, which is really gratifying!"
"With such an achievement at a young age, it is also unique in our Ming Dynasty, which is enough to prove the emperor's trust in Lord Li, and I hope that Lord Li will make persistent efforts and not disappoint the emperor's hopes."
"That's nature, the emperor is as kind to me as a mountain, I will definitely do my best and die."
Li Jin looked righteous and awe-inspiring, and began to brag to Zhu Biao, until Zhu Di next to him couldn't look past it and interrupted:
"Let's stop blowing each other here, let's hurry into the city, or the food we prepared will be cold!"
Li Jin immediately turned around, gave way to his position, welcomed Zhu Biao into the carriage, and then walked all the way to the City Lord's Mansion.
Haisheng Port has now been built by Li Jin to become more prosperous, and there is even a tendency to surpass Hanoi, in fact, in Li Jin's heart, this is the future capital of Annam Province.
Although Hanoi is geographically important, Li Jin's idea is to make Annam Province a province mainly based on shipping, so he is more inclined to the development of ports.
In addition, Haishenggang is close to the sea, which is more convenient to be controlled by the Ming Dynasty.
With the strength of the Ming Navy today, once there is a change in Annam, as long as the navy is dispatched, it can come from day to night.
At that time, Haishenggang will inevitably become the primary target of the Ming Dynasty, and the provincial capital will be set here, and if the Annamite people want to restore in the future, the Ming army will not make any effort to wipe out these Annamite people in one fell swoop.
Zhu Biao sat in the carriage, but his eyes kept wandering outside the carriage, and he felt that the development here was a little beyond his expectations.
Hepu County has been developed for so long, but it is still dwarfed by Haicheng Port.
This made Zhu Biao feel a little disappointed in his heart, he didn't expect that he couldn't catch up with Li Jin's footsteps despite his desperate efforts, and he couldn't even see Li Jin's back.
After passing through a bustling port area, we arrived at a fortress, which was several feet high, and there were many arrow towers on it, and there were patrolling soldiers everywhere, and it seemed that it was extremely well guarded.
"Master Li, where is this?"
When Zhu Biao saw this scene, he was a little surprised, he didn't expect Li Jin to actually build a military fortress.
From Zhu Biao's point of view, this kind of military fortress can at least resist the siege of thousands of people, and it must be the kind of formed thousand-person team, otherwise it will not be able to break through this kind of fortress at all.
"This is naturally the City Lord's Mansion."
Li Jin explained with a smile:
"After all, this was the land of another country before, and there were rebels and bandits everywhere, after all, the official was afraid of death, so for his own safety, he had to build a small castle to add a little sense of security to the official."
"Now this is just a prototype, and it will be expanded for three more phases later, and it is conservatively estimated that it can withstand the siege of tens of thousands of people."
