Chapter 316: Reactions from all sides
As a result, only the dart master of the Downwind Transport Dart Bureau came to receive the reward. The people of the coastal areas hated pirates to the core. It's rare to see pirates who hurt their dogs, and they vent them.
As a result, twenty taels of silver were addicted to it, and it was gone.
But there is always something in return for the pirates. Some pirates were buried naked. It's really clean and slippery, and it walks bare. Only a bruise was taken away.
In less than a month, the Southern Bureau of Commerce lifted the sea ban. A large number of pirate ships and pirates were taken away by the fleet of the Southern Bureau Chamber of Commerce.
Many big forces watched their ships being taken away, and they didn't dare to squeak.
Not to mention the pirate ship, they dare not admit it. Even the ships that had been seized before, they did not dare to squeak. Who said that he has eyes and does not know Mount Tai? provoked the giant of the Southern Bureau Chamber of Commerce.
In the face of absolute strength, everything else is a floating cloud. If reasoning is useful, then what is the use of the army.
In this world, the law of the jungle is everywhere! As long as you have a hard fist, you can make the rules.
Subsequently, the reactions of all parties were mixed, and the people were grateful to Dade. In particular, the people in the coastal areas can finally feel at ease. Don't worry about pirate threats anymore.
For nearly a hundred years, the dark clouds that had pressed on their heads finally dispersed.
Fishermen are also daring to go out to sea to fish, and farmers are beginning to farm with peace of mind. All walks of life are in ruins. The coastal areas have convenient shipping and the economy has quickly developed rapidly.
Exude life! It has even led to the economic development of the entire southern region!
Those forces who have offended the Chamber of Commerce of the Southern Bureau only blame themselves for being blind. The Chamber of Commerce of the Southern Bureau did not care, and development was the last word. Fighting, killing, and killing will only affect the excellent situation of stability and unity.
The magnanimity of the Chamber of Commerce of the Southern Bureau has also impressed many forces again. This is the magnanimity to do great things. It's no wonder that people can develop to such a scale in just a few years.
More forces are thinking about how to befriend the Southern Bureau Chamber of Commerce. Many of these big forces and big families started by sea trade. Even if you didn't start by sea trade, you will now be engaged in sea trade business.
Who doesn't know that sea trade is a huge profit. They all want a piece of the pie. The Southern Bureau has achieved its goal this time, and it really doesn't want to cause another incident.
With the joining of the Xue family this year, the commercial outlets of the Southern Bureau are more perfect. Last year's sea trade supplies to Japan and Korea had already been prepared.
This year's trade materials to Southeast Asia have not been prepared without much effort. The main energy of the Southern Bureau this year will still be on training guards and sailors.
This year, the Southern Bureau has deployed a number of guards to strengthen the defense of the islands off the southeast coast. Fortunately, this time to clean up the pirate Liwei, many forces are looking forward to cooperation with the Southern Bureau.
There will be no forces to pick up the tiger whiskers of the Southern Bureau. Regarding sea trade, Li Miao's sea ship has always been alone. There is simply no room for cooperation with other forces.
There is no need for cooperation either. Voyage and sea trade is the patent of sea vessels.
It turns out that many forces use pirates for smuggling. Now that the pirates have been cleared, it is estimated that it will take a long time before the sea trade can be resumed. Besides, their sea trade is just a small fight in the coastal waters.
After the emperor learned the news of the Southern Bureau Chamber of Commerce, he was also numb. Anyway, there is the Tailwind Transport Dart Bureau, a mythical beast. A few more tigers and leopards don't matter. However, there are many lice and no itching, and there are many debts.
The Great Zheng Dynasty suddenly entered an unprecedented prosperity. As the Great Zheng Dynasty, which was mainly based on the agricultural reclamation economy, with the low-interest loans launched by Shunfeng Ticket, the farmers' enthusiasm for farming was high.
The promotion of high-quality seeds in the north and south is accelerating. In the Great Zheng Dynasty, poor peasant households still accounted for the vast majority. They got low-interest loans and bought high-quality seeds.
Many farmers have even purchased high-quality farming tools. It has greatly improved the development of productivity.
A lot of wasteland was cleared by the people. The cultivated land area of the Great Zheng Dynasty has repeatedly reached new highs. Although the wasteland is barren, the yield is relatively poor. But planting good seeds, there will always be some harvest.
It has an immediate effect on raising the income of peasant households.
The Great Zheng Dynasty had always encouraged farmers to reclaim wasteland. Newly cultivated land is exempt from tax for three years, and after three years, taxes are paid according to the grade of the land assessed by the government. It can hardly be Shimoda.
Now the farmers use advanced agricultural tools, and the labor efficiency has been greatly improved. It is also reasonable to start having the spare energy to reclaim wasteland.
Coupled with the low-interest loans provided by the Shunfeng ticket number, there is no need to worry about high-quality seeds, so farmers' enthusiasm for reclamation is unprecedentedly high.
Farmers are confident in the future and know that the future will only get better and better. It also directly promoted the prosperity of commerce and trade.
In the past, farmers had a strong sense of preparedness. Even if you have money, you can't afford to spend it. Now I have started to improve my own life appropriately.
This year's unprecedented prosperity of the Great Zheng Dynasty. The downwind ticket number should be the first credit. It is precisely because of the low-interest loan of the Shunfeng ticket number that the farmers have high-quality seeds and advanced agricultural tools. It has promoted the great development of agriculture.
Of course, the Northern Bureau successfully resisted the alien invasion, and it also contributed to it. This has greatly increased the confidence of farmers in the northern region, especially those near the border.
With the protection of the Downwind Transport Dart Bureau, you no longer have to worry about the plundering of alien races.
In mid-May, Wang Yonggui also completed his inspection of Taiwan Island and returned to Beijing. At this time, he was in Li Miao's study to report on the work of this trip and what he saw and heard along the way.
In fact, Li Miao had already obtained information about the island of Taiwan and the southeast coastal fleet of the Li family. With the establishment of the Secrecy Bureau on the island of Taiwan. It only took five days for Li Miao to get accurate information about the island of Taiwan.
Now the important information of Li Miao and the local bureaus will be transmitted by carrier pigeons. The information is encrypted with a password, so you don't have to worry about being intercepted.
Three carrier pigeons are used each time, and important information is transmitted at the same time.
The codebook is only in the hands of the local bureaus and the directors of the local secrecy bureaus. In fact, it is just an ordinary travelogue.
Originally, Li Miao wanted to be simpler and find a copy of the Four Books and Five Classics. But considering the limited number of words, I finally gave up.
For the sake of safety, Li Miao moved the carrier pigeon teleportation point in the suburbs of the capital to Datianzhuang in Tongzhou. Although this will delay for half a day, Tongzhou Datianzhuang is currently solid. Just make the most of it.
Now the important information of the Liaodong Bureau can reach Li Miao in just two days. The urgent information on the island of Taiwan can reach Li Miao in just five days.
Carrier pigeons on the island of Taiwan need to be transferred through the Southern Secrecy Bureau. Otherwise, the time could have been much faster.
If it was known by the imperial court, such a fast speed of information transmission would definitely surprise him. Li Miao is still too slow, and is now developing a strong pill for carrier pigeons. And some results have already been achieved.
The importance of information is deeply understood by Li Miao from later generations. Originally, I was going to train eagles and eagles. However, considering the long training cycle and the scarcity of species. I can only think about it slowly later.
Although Wang Yonggui reported the situation, Li Miao already had a basic understanding. However, Wang Yonggui's report still combined some of his own thoughts and views. It was refreshing for Li Miao.
Wang Yonggui was the first person under Li Miao. Both ability and authority are. Don't underestimate Wang Yonggui's role. is basically Li Miao's spokesperson.
On this southern tour, everywhere Wang Yonggui went, it was like Li Miao coming in person.
Even the Li family is respectful to Wang Yonggui. They all know the weight of Wang Yonggui in Li Miao's mind.
Although Wang Yonggui is only on patrol, at most he only gives him some personal opinions and suggestions. But everyone knows that if they leave a bad impression on Wang Yonggui. It is estimated that their life will not be easy in the future.
It's not pillow-side wind, but the effect is only worse.
Wang Yonggui's views and ideas are more in line with the ideology of this era. In particular, Li Miao listened particularly carefully to some high-level comments on the island of Taiwan. Wang Yonggui spoke highly of Li Jiu.
Taiwan Island has long been positioned in Li Miao's heart, first of all, it is a granary. It's also the easiest goal to achieve. Because the cultivated land area of Taiwan Island is no longer measured by how many tens of thousands of mu like the Liaodong Bureau.
The area of land that can be reclaimed on Taiwan Island is more than ten times or dozens of times that of the current Liaodong Bureau. Coupled with the climate, it is planted in three seasons a year. The granary is naturally no problem.
At present, the population of the island of Taiwan is less than one million, and the population is still a little smaller. But for the time being, it can only be like this, Li Miao has already used the power of nine bulls and two tigers. Even most of his own industries in Qingzhou have immigrated.
The island of Taiwan will become an industrial powerhouse for Li Miao's forces. An industrial base that is more powerful than the Liaodong Bureau. The Liaodong Bureau still has the threat of the Jurchens, and it still needs to prepare for war.
In recent years, there will be no threat of war on the island of Taiwan. The occasional invasion of alien ships is not enough to stuff the island of Taiwan.
In addition, there are also large and small sea vessels of the Li Twin Heroes fleet to assist in the defense, and it is estimated that there will not be too many opportunities for the escort forces of Taiwan Island to be dispatched.
This time, the Dutchman's musket also sounded the alarm for Li Miao again. There are also things that are not subject to his will. The breakthrough of gunpowder in the future seems to be a high-probability event.
Muskets and artillery pose little threat to Li Miao's forces for the time being. Unless it comes to the age of flintlock pistols. It is estimated that it will take several decades to process.
Li Miao has already asked the Liaodong Bureau Arsenal to develop crossbow arrows, and they are powerful iron crossbow arrows. Once used, these bolts can be much more powerful than muskets. The range is longer.
These crossbow arrows will first be equipped in the mausoleum fort of the Liaodong Bureau. This winter, there will be a big battle between the Liaodong Bureau and the Jurchens. Therefore, equipping the guards of the Liaodong Bureau Mausoleum Fort is the top priority.
Next, it is necessary to equip large and small sea ships with crossbow arrows, and with powerful iron crossbow arrows, and then encounter the powerful muskets and artillery of Westerners. Just turn them into a pile of scrap metal.
This is an iron crossbow arrow designed by Li Miao in combination with the advanced concepts of later generations. Powerful! It is also somewhat misleading to Westerners. I really don't want to let the powerful gunpowder come out.
Of course, the research and development of their own gunpowder also has to speed up the pace. Be prepared!
When the power of gunpowder reaches a certain level, Li Miao will skip the flintlock pistol and directly develop bullet guns. This is the real weapon of gunpowder, and it is better to never use it.
