I will hold high the dragon flag in the world of the heavens

Chapter 57, Land reclamation and education, the dissatisfaction of literati!

"Sweet Potato Breeding Handbook" and "Potato Breeding Handbook" are all produced by Daming Bookstore.

In fact, in addition to these books, there are also "Encyclopedia of Local Governance", "Handbook of Various Disaster Governance", "How to Be a Good Official", "How to Trial and Handle Cases"...etc. A series of books about governance are sold by Daming Bookstore .

Soldiers in the new army could not recognize much writing.They only receive emergency training for half a month.

Sweet potatoes are easy to grow. New soldiers and immigrant civilians who joined the army planed to eat from the soil, so planting and learning are easy to do.

Learn fast.

Li Zicheng and 100 people cleared the fields according to the soldier's orders.

These lands are high-quality fertile fields, which Jiannu once cultivated.

But the master has been replaced by Mingren.

Li Zicheng grabbed a sweet potato seedling, briefly gestured the distance between the seedlings, threw it on the ground with a small hoe produced by Xishan Industrial Bureau, and put the sweet potato seedlings away.

Someone behind me brought a bucket to water it!

100 people planted very quickly, and within half an hour of being busy, one acre of land was planted.

Looking at the results behind him, Li Zicheng laughed: "This assembly line planting and small tools are really good. A team of hundreds can produce tens of acres of land in a day!"

An old man laughed and said, "It's the seedlings purchased by the imperial court that cost tens of millions of taels. It looks really ordinary."

Li Zi explained happily: "I think this thing is very powerful. It's not that you haven't seen the rice that the government gave us. The food is enough for us to eat for three months. And the new army said that there will be more food to be shipped in the future! Steward If you give us so much rice but no seeds, you can’t leave us alone in the future, right?”

The old man nodded embarrassingly: "That's right, it's my job!"

During this period of contact, moving to Liaodong was the best decision for the old man, although he suffered a lot on the way to Xuanfu Town.

But in Liaodong, the officials not only distributed planting tools worth a few taels of silver to them, provided free housing, but also provided them with free food for three months.

These grains are eaten raw with bran and wild vegetables, and they can last for more than half a year!

The government allowed them to open up wasteland, and they were exempted from taxes. After half a year, some food would be enough for everyone to live on.

There is really hope for the small days in the future!

Looking at the ridges of sweet potato seedlings in the field, the old man and Li Zicheng looked forward to it.

In fact, Liaodong is more suitable for planting potatoes this season.

Because potatoes are more cold-resistant than sweet potatoes, they are more suitable for Liaodong.

But there are too few good varieties of potatoes, and potatoes are all grown around the capital.

It takes a long time to promote.

So Liaodong temporarily planted sweet potatoes.

Li Zicheng then began to work and rest at sunrise in Liaodong.

After staying for a while, he gradually fell in love with this life.

Working in Liaodong, as long as you are talented, you will be promoted quickly!

Li Zicheng's ability is good, and his small mouth is like smeared with honey, so he is naturally well appreciated, and his position is promoted very quickly.

Because of his outstanding performance, the number of managers gradually increased, and after a few months of work, he took root.

These days, I also met a few good friends.

One is Zhang Xianzhong and the other is Gao Yingxiang. These guys are half fellows with him, and they are in charge of several immigration areas next to him.

Among the few people, there are petty officials and honest men.

As for how to know, it is also very simple.

Because the small officials in Liaodong have a lot of things to do after they come to Liaodong, they not only have to learn farming, but also often hold mobilization meetings and study guidance meetings.

The instructor said to unify their course of action and personnel thinking.

There were many meetings, and they naturally got to know each other.

Although when he was studying, Li Zicheng accepted a lot of shocking remarks.

What are we human?

We are born with the right to live!
Why are we poor!

How can we solve poverty!

We have the land, but what else can we do except till it?
Why will our land become less and less, and we will become poorer and poorer.

In short, there are [-] whys, put forward from the perspective of the bottom layer.

1 why are we so...

It's all the bitterness of planing food in the fields. Everyone agrees with what the new army instructor said.

Li Zicheng's favorite song is a song about building the Great Wall with flesh and blood.

The more he learns, the more he sings, the better he gets!

After receiving many studies and educations, Li Zicheng taught the immigrant people under his rule what he had learned.

People very much agree with this idea.

not agree?
That's what's wrong with your brain.

It's time to rule!

In this way, Li Zicheng lived in Liaodong.

As time went by, I made more friends.He chatted with Zhang Xianzhong, Gao Yingxiang and others.

Everyone's temper is very forthright, and the relationship is getting better and better.

Later, Li Zicheng also met a few people with big backgrounds.

For example, Zhu Luyou, King of Jingjiang, a descendant of the old Zhu family of Ming Dynasty.

When Li Zicheng first heard that this man was the prince, he knelt down and kowtowed in fear.

Later, I became familiar with it, and it felt like that!

Because these princes do the same job as him.

Also, there are quite a few Daming princes like Jingjiang Wang Zhu Luyou.

He stayed in Liaodong for several months, and he insisted on meeting more than 30 people.

These princes have no airs of arrogance.

They mainly learn farming skills, planting skills, and management skills.

Li Zicheng once told them that he would lead a large army to the north after the spring of next year.It is necessary to travel thousands of miles to reach the frontiers of the New World.

The vassal kings said that they can establish a vassal state when they reach the New World.

King Jingjiang strongly urged Li Zicheng, Zhang Xianzhong and others to follow them!
They are very excited.

……

Time passed quietly.

Since the Ming Dynasty solved all foreign aggressions, it gathered its strength to carry out farming and people's migration.

Because of a series of tax exemption measures, and the food purchased from countries such as Annan and Nanyang at all costs, the food crisis has been temporarily alleviated.

Although many civil servants feel that the Emperor Chongzhen's order to let the small officials of the Ming Dynasty become bigger officials is too shocking.

However, a special event needs to be handled in a calamity year, so the dissatisfaction of the civil servants is temporarily suppressed.

The first year of Chongzhen was off to a good start.

If the people of Ming Dynasty had the care of the ruler, more people would surely survive.

In official history, the Ming Dynasty in the early years of Chongzhen was actually quite good.

It's a pity that because Zhu Youjian, a little boy and a fool, played the piano indiscriminately, after killing Wei Zhongxian, he then wantonly implicated the eunuchs who relied on Wei Zhongxian.

More faction officials were killed, which made the Donglin Party rise again, which led to the growing popularity of the Donglin Party, and in the later period, the faction continued to fight!
The history of the Xiuchundao world, except for the demonic reform of Chongzhen and the killing of brothers.Most of the others are still advancing according to the historical process.

Wei Zhongxian is still alive, there are many eunuchs attached to him, and there are many factions in the Ming Dynasty.

The faction of the Ming Dynasty Hall also hates the Donglin Party.

There is no way, the Donglin party members dominate the family, and everyone can only hug together to keep warm.

This is called having foreign enemies in the court and having a unified mind!

Although the officials of the Ming Dynasty who were on duty in the court had many problems, they were frightened by Wei Zhongxian and Chongzhen's sharp knives and did not dare to make mistakes.

Therefore, the decree of the court can still be issued.

It's just that corrupt officials consume too much, Jin Yiwei and Dongchang Fanzi's steel swords killing officials are almost killing them!

More people were killed, more officials were recruited, but the administration of officials was much clearer.

This is a good thing!
However, the gentry and businessmen frequently suffered losses during this period.

In previous disaster years of the Ming Dynasty, what the gentry loved most was to annex land.Merchants naturally sell grain at high prices.

It's a pity that Chongzhen is too cruel.

A whole Ming Dynasty is exempted from taxation, which directly solves the problem of land annexation in disaster years.

Going to Liaodong to open up wasteland, one person can get [-] acres of land, which also caused countless tenants to lose.

The big landlords definitely don't want to lower the rent, but the tenants are not fools!
So many rents in disaster years.

We don't even have enough land to pay taxes.

If you haven't lowered the rent, why don't we emigrate?
Anyway, the imperial court provided us with food seeds.

After going to Liaodong, each person can get [-] acres of land.Immigration is blood money!

In order to restore these tenants, the gentry and landlords had to lower rents on a large scale.

The life pressure of countless people has dropped dramatically!
Some grain merchants are trying to raise grain prices.

But Chongzhen's puny boy is doing demon tricks!
Because it is a calamity year, in order to allow more Ming people to survive, a guideline price for grain has been established temporarily, and all grain merchants must not sell grain outside the official price by one-third.

This pricing power directly stuck the second line of Ren Du of the grain merchant!

When businessmen saw the grain pricing power proposed by Daming Weekly, they absolutely disagreed.

It's a pity that they couldn't withstand Wei Zhongxian's knife and the public opinion offensive of Daming Weekly!

Some people refused to accept it, and then they were hung up with street lights.

It is said that some brave people threw away the graves of these people.

Hack and kill.The heads of hundreds of merchants and gentry hoarding grain were air-dried.

Forget it.

We can't afford it!
That's all.

What's even more frightening is the follow-up!
First, Daming Weekly made efforts.

The bad deeds of these people, how the land was annexed, and the absurdity of their families are all announced and spread to the world.

Afterwards, the New Army and the Daming Jinyiwei controlled these people and let these unscrupulous businessmen and gentry come to Ming Dynasty for a tour.

Daming suddenly became lively.

As long as these unscrupulous businessmen and gentry are escorted here, they will be empty!
The businessmen and gentry felt numb in their hearts.

Birth of a son, a villain with two ass eyes!

Is it that Guisun who came up with such a wicked idea?

The literati and gentry found that their right to speak was in danger of being shaken.

As gentry and literati were repeatedly escorted to participate in concert tours, literati became more and more dissatisfied.

But frightened by the wolves and tigers of the new army and soldiers, these literati only dared to mutter a few words behind their backs.

Then, the news that Emperor Ming suddenly wanted to open the Great Enke spread all over the world.

The literati, who were deaf to what was going on outside the window, went ecstatically to prepare for the Enke exam.

Isn't it just some immediate interests?

Forget it, just throw it away.

As long as I become an official, I will be able to gain weight!

Nothing can stop me from being an officer!
