Daming: Brother, there is no future for monks, let's rebel

Chapter 307 The Commonwealth of Australia...the prototype of the farm!
Different from the treacherous situation in the court, in the overseas enclaves, the generals directly let themselves go.

Here, without the restrictions of the laws of the Ming Dynasty, the generals began to let themselves go one by one.

As for enclosing land... that's even simpler. The rules Zhu Han made for overseas generals are very simple. As long as you have enough people in your hands, you can own enough land.

Moreover, the planting environment in many overseas enclaves is much better than that of Daming. There are many crops that ripen twice to three times a year, and the land is so fertile that it seems to be able to shed oil. However, all the people who have gone overseas deeply love it. these lands.

In China, there is a saying called "Ye Luo returns to the root". For the common people, making such a choice is no different from betraying their ancestors.

However, after coming overseas, they found that going overseas is also good, the land is fertile, and the land is cultivated twice to three times a year, and there is no need to pay taxes for ten years after arriving overseas. There is no limit to the amount of land each person owns.

If you think you can plant a hundred acres, then I will give you a hundred acres of land, give you high-yielding seeds, and give you two servants to help you plant the land.

The garrisons in various places will collect the food that cannot be eaten up, and the price is completely in accordance with the average price of the Daming grain market, and the common people will never suffer.

With such a good policy, the common people are completely profiting!

As long as you work hard, plant land overseas for ten years and then go back, you will be a rich man!
Such a good thing, a fool would not do it!
People who see the benefits have forgotten that they were once a member of the 'fools'.

For the domestic people, Zhu Han and Zhu Yuanzhang did not use the method of forced relocation. After all, they are going overseas, and it will be difficult to come back. In order to make the people willing to go overseas to farm, Zhu Han formulated a series of preferential policies , Let the people willingly go overseas to farm.

Free high-yielding seeds, free agricultural tools, free farming cattle, and they can be matched with native servants in overseas enclaves. If they want, they can also marry exotic native girls. Each child is rewarded with five silver coins.

This kind of huge reward makes people feel like a pie in the sky after hearing it, and they can't believe it. Even if the stamp underneath is a jade seal, the common people don't believe it.

Only those people living in mountainous areas with poor families and most of their arable land in the mountains accepted the conscript and went overseas because they were so desperate for life.

After arriving overseas, they found that the reward policies Zhu Han gave them were fulfilling one by one. While the people were ecstatic, they quickly found someone to write letters to their relatives and friends at home, telling them that the benefits promised by Zhu Han and Zhu Yuanzhang were true.

In this case of human-to-human transmission, more and more people have gone overseas.

In today's Australia, hundreds of thousands of Han Chinese have gathered. They all came from the mountains of Yunnan and Guizhou. They married wives and had children in this land of Australia, and then returned home to live a prosperous life when the ten-year period came.

The wisdom of the common people is infinite. They studied and pondered the preferential policies formulated by Zhu Han and Zhu Yuanzhang repeatedly, and discovered a huge loophole: the more land the common people owned, the richer the preferential compensation that Ming gave them.

You can have two slaves and one ox for one hundred mu of land; thirty slaves and fifteen cows for one thousand mu of land; five hundred slaves and fifty cows for ten thousand mu of land...

When the common people counted, if people from the same village gathered together and rented [-] mu of land together, they could own [-] natives and [-] head of cattle.

It's perfectly fine!
When the time comes to divide the money, everyone can divide it according to the number of acres of leased land, or how many acres you have planted, and after the harvest, divide the money according to everyone's contribution...

When everyone summed it up, it was still more cost-effective to rent more land, so they asked the local garrison general for instructions, and the fellow villagers leased [-] mu of land.

Although the garrison general has a bit of culture, there are not many.

When he went to lease land, the maximum amount of land for one person was [-] mu. This was the first time he had heard of such a direct lease of [-] mu of land.

The garrison general's first reaction was to refuse. Isn't this a bitch taking advantage of His Royal Highness's decree?
However, Zhu Han's decree did not state that it is not allowed to take advantage of loopholes, and the garrison general was in a dilemma, so he simply set aside [-] mu of land for them to plant first, and he hurriedly wrote a memorial to Zhu Han for instructions.

When the memorial was sent out and returned, it was half a year later, and the memorial was returned by Zhu Han and Zhu Yuanzhang together.

Zhu Han replied: Where there is no law, freedom is freedom!
Zhu Yuanzhang responded: Here!Not only to give, but also to convert the half-year delay into silver taels to compensate the people. At the same time, he ordered the garrison generals: let the sergeants provide necessary help to these people when there is no fighting.

All in all, just two words: yes!

After seeing the response in the memorial, the garrison general was moved to tears.

He used to be a child of a poor family, so he had to rebel with Zhu Yuanzhang because his family was so poor that he couldn't get rid of the pot. After fighting one after another, his position has been promoted, but he also has a heart to feed the people.

After the founding of Ming Dynasty, Zhu Han and Zhu Yuanzhang still stood together with the people, so that many people could feel their care for the people. The garrison general also believed in Zhu Han and Zhu Yuanzhang, but he never expected that Zhu Han and Zhu Yuanzhang To be able to take such care, they have to compensate the common people because the government decree does not clearly state that they cannot "jointly rent" the land.

The garrison general was moved to tears.

In the past, if Meng Yuan treated the people half as well as Daming, how could he rebel?

When the garrison general told the people the news, the people cheered excitedly, faced the northwest direction, and shouted long live!
More and more people, or more and more people in the enclaves, after they learned that everyone can farm together, they have joined together to form alliances with the same village, township, and county as ties.

There are also more and more people coming to overseas enclaves, marrying wives and having children, farming and having children to receive bonuses.

……

In fact, the loopholes in the decree were intentionally left by Zhu Han.

Otherwise, with Zhu Han's ability, how could he leave a loophole?

Without him, I will!

Why did Zhu Han formulate so many preferential policies to let people go overseas?
It is to reclaim the land and to allow the Han people to settle down and take root overseas.

It is Zhu Han's goal to let Daming's influence grow.

As for money... To Zhu Han, it's just a bunch of numbers.

Zhu Han: I don't care about money, I'm not interested in money.

Zhu Han did not, but Zhu Yuanzhang did!

When Zhu Han handed the written reward policy to Zhu Yuanzhang, Zhu Yuanzhang also discovered the problem in it at the first time. He learned that it was the loophole that Zhu Han deliberately left. After hearing Zhu Han's explanation, he signed directly agree.

Then there is the long wait.

Fortunately, hard work paid off, and the loopholes Zhu Han left in the government order were finally discovered.

Zhu Yuanzhang was so happy that he quickly called Zhu Han over and let him read the memorial.

After Zhu Han saw the memorial, he didn't take it too seriously. Instead, he said to Zhu Yuanzhang: "Brother, don't be so excited. I deliberately left this loophole for the people. They found it normal. The next step is to see the results. .”

After a pause, Zhu Han said to Zhu Yuanzhang: "Brother, isn't there a garrison in Australia? Their main purpose is to prevent the aborigines from making trouble, but there are common people around, and it's useless if the aborigines want to make trouble. Kill without blood."

When the aborigines made troubles, it was nothing more than persecuting them too hard, but the people of Ming Dynasty knew the golden mean best. They were friendly to others, let bloodletting with soft knives, and the aborigines were gradually assimilated.

If the natives do not rebel, the role of the garrison will be gone.

Simply change the standing army into a garrison and implement military settlements. The main role of the garrison is still to prevent indigenous rebellions, but they can also participate in farming. After all, the people are farming to earn money. No matter how the garrison is, it must be improved. Look at the income level, isn't it?

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded: "Yes, just do it!"

However, Zhu Yuanzhang immediately raised the next question: "Qiwu, what will the common people do when they make money? If it was us...we used to save it and not spend it, but now we will invest all the money .”

Zhu Han is very sure: "People will vote, just like the person who discovered the loophole this time, as long as there is the first person who eats the crab, there will be a second one!"

Money is considered money only when it is spent. Zhu Han understands this truth, and Zhu Yuanzhang also understands this, but the common people don't understand it very well, so the first person who wants to eat crabs needs to stand up.

"Don't worry bro, people's lives will get better and better in the future."

Zhu Han signaled Zhu Yuanzhang to relax. The seeds have been planted now, but there is still a long way to go before the harvest. During this period, all they can do is to patiently repair and guide them, so that the people can truly experience what they can do in Daming. Possess the benefits and actively participate in the construction of Daming.

"What the people can do depends on you."

Zhu Yuanzhang believed that Zhu Han played the greatest role, especially the inventions made by Zhu Han, especially the trains he saw in the craftsman camp. Zhu Yuanzhang asked Zhu Han very curiously: "Qiwu, what about the steam engine you mentioned?" Things can be used on trains, so can steam engines be used on boats? Push the boat forward?”

Zhu Han replied without hesitation: "Yes, but it is still under study."

"Great!"

Zhu Yuanzhang showed a smile on his face, and said to Zhu Han: "July [-]th, trains and ships, for our Daming now, the role of the ship is more important. Our overseas enclaves all need ships, but the current ships go away. It’s too slow, and because of the weather, it’s impossible to sail the ship, sometimes it takes more than half a year for the news to reach us, which is very bad, so if the steam engine is used on the ship, can it make the ship go faster?”

"Yes! And no manpower is needed."

The ships in Zhu Han's heart are all kinds of warships of later generations. Giant steel ships drift on the sea, cutting through the waves like sharp swords. Zhu Han doesn't pay much attention to the small wooden boats nowadays.

An aircraft carrier-class warship is what Zhu Han wants.

However, in the face of Zhu Yuanzhang's inquiry, Zhu Han still told Zhu Yuanzhang the truth: "Brother, the craftsmen of our craftsman camp have gone to the shipyard. The boats they are researching are not the wooden boats we see now, but It's an iron ship! I provided them with a coating material that can prevent corrosion, so that the iron ship will not be corroded by the salt in the sea..."

Zhu Han talked about the difficulty of making iron ships, and then explained to Zhu Yuanzhang: "Brother, I know that the most important thing for Ming Dynasty now is overseas, and the demand for ships is very high, but those enclaves overseas are now in the midst of barbarism. In the stage of growth, you don’t need to pay too much attention to them. If something happens a year or so later, it won’t affect too much. The train is the most important thing. At that time, we will spread the train tracks to Rome, to Ottoman, and to Tsarist Russia. We should also lay it down together, such a large land is enough for us to build for a long time."

"In five or ten years, the first batch of enclaves that we won will be gradually assimilated by us, and the next generation of our Daming overseas is also receiving education. Then it will be time to strengthen management, and then the research will be carried out. A fleet of iron ships, patrolling the seas of the world, who would not be afraid to see it?"

Zhu Yuanzhang is the kind of emperor who has a strong desire to control, and the overseas enclaves he conquered can be left to grow wildly, but Zhu Yuanzhang doesn't think so. He feels that since the Ming Dynasty has brought down the land, he, as the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, must not take it seriously. manage it?

But what is there to manage?The army is okay, how many of those natives understand what you mean?

So, it's useless.

It's better to let it grow wildly first, and then manage it after the next generation grows up, and bring those lands into the management scope of Daming step by step.

At that time, sending Zhu Yuanzhang's talented son abroad is not better than anything else?
In fact, Zhu Yuanzhang also understands some truths, but he just wants to keep these things in his own hands, and he will feel uncomfortable if he loosens the rein a little.

This is OCD.

Obsessive-compulsive disorder must be cured!

Zhu Yuanzhang felt a little embarrassed when he heard Zhu Han's words.

Zhu Han had said these words to him many times, and Zhu Yuanzhang had listened to them, but he felt strange in his heart.

"Yes! Qiwu is right!"

Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand, saying that he didn't care about those overseas enclaves for the time being, and that Zhu Han would be in charge...Zhu Yuanzhang was at ease with Zhu Han, and Zhu Han was usually only responsible for making ideas, and the officials sent overseas were appointed by Zhu Yuanzhang. So these overseas enclaves are still in the hands of Zhu Yuanzhang.

"Forget it, you can take care of it on July [-]th, you kid is used to being lazy on weekdays, it's just right for you to find something to do."

Facing a patient with obsessive-compulsive disorder like Zhu Yuanzhang, Zhu Han knew how to deal with it.

What Zhu Yuanzhang is facing is the whole of Daming, he wants to know everything about Daming, he wants to control everything about Daming.

Zhu Han believes that Zhu Yuanzhang can control everything, but under the premise of his ability, if it is for pure control, what do ministers do in the world?
Therefore, when it is time to delegate power, you must delegate power. As long as Zhu Yuanzhang holds the power to appoint personnel, it is enough to affect many people.
