Messaging in this era is measured in months, even years.

At a time when Europe was on the verge of forming a "new crusade".

The Ming Empire at this time.

Another harvest autumn has arrived.

At this time, it was already the eighth year of the liberation, in the autumn of 1779 AD.

If someone counts the grain production of the Han land of the Ming Dynasty, they will find that the grain output of the Ming Dynasty has reached a new high.

The price of food has been reduced to a considerable level.

Strangely, however.

Tenant farmers were not unusually evicted.

The landlords who took back their fields and hired people to take care of them made more money than before—of course, if they were to choose, they would still be nostalgic for the Qing Dynasty, after all, they were not only landlords, but also gentry, gentry of great political status.

Where is it like now.

I have money, but I'm a rich man.

The political status is not at all comparable to that of the former Qing Dynasty - of course, if someone in the family is in the middle of the imperial examination, it is different.

Grain from the Northeast and the South Seas poured in.

The price of grain was further reduced to a point where the rich landlords of the Han region sighed and stomped their feet.

However, they are not small farmers, but agricultural capitalists with the means of production and capital.

Food prices have come down.

In the southern provinces, a number of estates began to appear that were converted to other cash crops.

Under the onslaught of capitalist agriculture.

More smallholder farmers have been forced off the land.

Or he worked in factories in Shanghai and Guangdong, or he stepped on a passenger ship to thousands of miles away.

I don't know when it started.

Perhaps it began after the Imperial Court began to contract shipping routes to North America to major shipping companies.

The ticket to the Golden State Metropolitan Protectorate has been reduced from 40 yuan to 15 yuan per ticket.

Such a low price.

At one point, the number of immigrants to the Golden State Metropolitan Protectorate exceeded the number of immigrants to the Northeast and the Great Northwest.

In this fall.

It is destined that there will also be a large number of peasants, dragging their families and families on a ship to the New World, with a vision of the future, to the legendary Golden State, where everyone has meat to eat, everyone has land to grow, and the land is full of gold—or it is important to get a good name.

Golden State.

It's definitely much better than Liaobei.

This place in northern Liaobei is bitterly cold when I hear it.

Golden State was very rich when he heard it.

Therefore, the people who go to Liaobei now are basically collective farms organized by the imperial court.

And to the Golden State.

A significant proportion of them are "yeoman farmers" who have bought their own tickets to go there.

Sailing ships departing from Shanghai, Qingdao, Tianjin, etc., usually have to be replenished in Japan.

Therefore, in addition to the Chinese, there are also many Japanese who also go by boat.

Their destination is not the Golden State, though.

Rather, it is located in the southernmost part of South America, the plain of La Praná.

There, the new Yamato Castle, which belonged to the Kingdom of Japan, was established and attracted a large number of poor Japanese samurai.

This piece of land is a reward given by the Ming Dynasty to Japan for "voluntarily" deposing the emperor and welcoming Zhu Yizin, the sixth prince of the Ming Dynasty, as the king of Japan.

Today, there are more than 100,000 poor Japanese samurai in New Japan, which surrounds New Yamato Castle, and some peasants who emigrated from Korea, the population has reached more than 200,000.

That's enough to make them South America's tyrants.

The Spanish colonists there were out of luck.

In order to defend their territory, these Japanese dwarf samurai fought frenziedly.

The Spaniards could bully the Japanese at sea - but the Ming Empire sent a fleet to New Japan.

And on land.

The Spaniards are not enough.

A large number of Japanese samurai who served in the Ming Japanese Warrior Corps formed the backbone of the new Japanese Army.

In the face of these Japanese who have killed countless people in the South Seas.

The ferocity with which the Spaniards bullied the indigenous people of South America was not enough to see at all.

Soon it was torn off a piece of territory from the plains of La Platana by these Japanese madmen.

And after owning this piece of land.

Some Japanese samurai who served for the Ming Dynasty also had a place to be rewarded.

For example, he first helped the Ming Dynasty to carry out the Nanyang population reduction plan in Nanyang, and then followed Tokugawa Mitsuki into Kyoto to help knock down the emperor, and then went to the northeast and went deep into the Outer Khingan Mountains to drive out the local natives and the remnants of the Eight Banners and the Japanese samurai Tian Shan of the Russian army.

Now it is a vassal of New Japan who has acquired 8,000 acres of land in New Japan!

Of course.

If you don't want to go to New Japan.

If you stay in Daming, you can also become a Ming official and nobleman as a Ming soldier - most of the officers and soldiers of the Ming Japanese Warrior Corps can speak fluent Nanjing official dialect and write a hand of Chinese characters.

And a samurai like Tian Shanyue who worked all the way up from the bottom.

even got a letter of retention written by Zhu Daohua, the son of tomorrow.

"Written by the Son of Heaven himself, Tian Shanjun, are you really going to South America?"

In the official office of Heilongjiang City, Liaobei Province.

Chen Zhongliang, who was the official of the Ming Dynasty and the head of the Northeast Reclamation, looked at his old partner and said.

Chen Zhongliang was the main executor of the collective farm system in Northeast China.

I worked in the Northeast for three years.

According to his merits, the next one will definitely become a fiefdom!

or the governor of a province, or the governor of a prefecture.

In a word.

Chen Zhongliang will definitely be able to enter the cabinet in the future!

So in the northeast, many people have begun to burn his stove.

However, after a few years in the Northeast, Chen Zhongliang is a white-faced talent in Guangzhou, and now he has the appearance of a rough man in the Northeast.

Because being an official in the Northeast is not as peaceful as Kannai.

Although on the map.

From Dalian to the north to the Arctic Ocean, this large area is the territory of the Ming Dynasty.

But in fact, the current official office of the Ming Dynasty has also arrived in Hailan Pao City in the North Xing'an Mountains.

Most of the areas north of Hailan Pao City still belong to the map frontier, and the rule of the Ming Dynasty cannot reach this at all.

Even.

Conflicts large and small continue.

Clashes between the owners of collective farms and the local indigenous tribes were frequent.

The Russians who remained here merged with the remnants of the Eight Banners and the indigenous tribes and became murderous bandits in the dense forest.

So much so that now the collective farm households in the North Khing'an Mountains area must all have guns and be ready to fight at all times.

Guns are the necessities of life in the North Xing'an Mountains, and if anyone doesn't have guns, they can't even get out of Zhuangzi.

Chen Zhongliang has long been accustomed to this.

Wasn't that the same in Borneo?

The only difference is that in the North Khing'an Mountains, the enemies here are more ferocious, more cunning, and their weapons are more advanced - of course, no matter how advanced they are, they are not as advanced as the Ming Dynasty.

As the Ming Army summed up the experience of the Battle of Leliu River, the army began to fully replace the rear-loading guns, and the infantry companies began to be equipped with mortars and mountain artillery platoons to make up for the disadvantage in the range of the rear-loading guns, forming a formation in which the infantry companies mainly used artillery as the fire output.

This caught some gun factories that previously produced front-loading rifled guns in large quantities a little unprepared, and in addition to the rifled guns in stock, a large number of rifled guns that had been replaced from the army were also looking for buyers everywhere.

So the price of rifled guns was knocked down at once.

At present, there are not many people in the hands of farmers in the Northeast who still use smoothbore guns - the consumption power of the farmers is generally higher than that of the farmers and workers in the Guannei.

"If it was when the wild boar skin raised the army, the people of Liaodong in the Ming Dynasty also had guns, and everyone dared to fight, not to mention thirteen pairs of armor, the old thief chieftain would be thirteen pairs of armor, he would be thirteen thousand pairs, and he would also be beaten into a hornet's nest."

Chen Zhongliang said with emotion.

"If everyone has a gun, the officials of the former Ming Dynasty will not dare to oppress the people too much." Tian Shanyue said.

Summarizing the death of the former Ming is the manifestation of the new Ming Dynasty today, and even the Son of Heaven is talking about the lessons of the death of the former Ming every day.

So Tian Shanyue came out casually, and he didn't commit any taboos.

"Having said that, Brother Chen has been operating in the Northeast for many years, and the Son of Heaven will also remember his brother's merits, and in my opinion, the time when my brother will be promoted is not far away."

Chen Zhongliang smiled bitterly, to be honest, it is very hard to be an official in the Northeast, don't look at him as a four-grade official, but the gun-wielding people here in the Northeast are not as afraid of him as the people in the Guannan are afraid of seeing the officials.

If the policy is not in line with the people's hearts, people will dare to make trouble on the spot.

The people of the Ming Dynasty here are really difficult to manage.

If Chen Zhongliang was to choose by himself, he would rather go to Guannai to be a prefect

As the two of them spoke.

A green-robed officer hurried over.

"Manager Chen, the Government Council has appointed you! Congratulations on your ascension! ”

"Ascension? Where to go? ”

"Promote Chen Zhongliang to the Governor of the California Metropolitan Protectorate?!" Chen Zhongliang was stunned, "Where is California?" ”

"In the New World!" (End of chapter)
