From Chief to Ball

"When peaches are not enough, buying peaches and sharing peaches are not free. So you think it doesn't matter?"

"No, we're just working hard for enough peaches. At least it's better than you sitting there, just saying that it's not right to share peaches, or to buy peaches. As for those people, it's even more ridiculous. There aren't enough peaches, so just chop them all up." It's no longer a problem. You're better than them."

The sharp criticism made Hu Lin very comfortable, as if he had already made a decision in his heart but needed to be scolded to help him make up his mind.Although the person in front of him was still a young man who read "Dream City" written by himself eight years ago, he didn't feel too unhappy. He just smiled and asked, "When will Chen Jian come back?"

"Come on, there are some things I can't tell you, but there are some things I can tell you. He is now on the east side of the sea. The ship we sent has already set off and should be back soon."

Chapter 1: Setting Fire and Lighting Lamps

Come back, it may take a while.When these things happened, Chen Jian was probably in Ryukyu or on his way to pay tribute to Beijing.

When these things ended and the fleet organized by the Mexican Party crossed the Pacific Ocean and arrived in Taiwan, Chen Jian had already returned to Wangbei City from Beijing for half a year.

This year, the rest of the things went on as planned.He calmed down and began to compile a set of primary school textbooks, including literacy, mathematics, natural knowledge, geography, astrophysics, chemistry enlightenment, ideology and morality, etc., as a general textbook in Asia.

From the beginning of enlightenment, we must completely destroy the foundations of feudal superstition and divine right of kings.Anyway, there is no specific medicine, and those exile officials can't survive in Taiwan. Officials sent from the north are prone to malaria, but here we are not afraid of causing too much sensation.

Chen Jian believes that after more than ten years, this group of children will grow up, at least there will be no basis for the emperor to be king here.It is a long process, but it cannot be skipped. Fortunately, in his previous life, he spent the second half of his life thinking about the issue of enlightenment education. In this life, he worked hard to write arithmetic and geometry, and wrote a set of books that is advanced at this time and easy to be read by children. The enlightenment textbooks accepted are not difficult.

They tried their best to train [-] local literate Chinese teachers by means of fast teaching, and found [-] enlightened math teachers from among the people prepared on board. Natural knowledge teachers, and some disabled soldiers as physical education teachers.

A mandatory enrollment method has been adopted, according to which every four classes share a pair of Chinese and mathematics teachers, every twelve classes share a pair of natural and physical education teachers, every twelve classes share a general knowledge teacher of labor skills, and once every half a month Routine visits to the plantation and the effects of the rest of the workshop labor.

In the early stage, he was a teacher, and when necessary, he also took classes by himself. Using this way of teachers learning two months earlier than children, he used his time every day to talk about the distress of those elementary school courses from morning to night, and built a mature school. Systematic Kaimeng School team.

Forty or fifty people are crammed into each class, and men and women are divided into tables.

The education of adults is semi-compulsory. Anyway, most of these people who came here are disaster victims, who have nothing and have become substantive hired workers.Therefore, the level of literacy determines wages, and the provident fund of wages determines the priority of allocating land and horses and iron equipment after four years. This semi-coercive method and the party members who have reached the limit are used to support short-term education.

Except for this one thing he did, everything else went well.

People who came back from Jingdezhen and Sichuan hired several skilled porcelain craftsmen by taking advantage of the official kiln strike, and spent real money to bring a complete set of Zhuo Tsutsui tools and skilled craftsmen from Zigong.

These treasures will go back together on his flagship when he returns. As long as he does not die, these people will not die.

Chen Jian was refreshed by Zhuo Tsutsui's strange tools, and he was even more sure that the wisdom of the people is infinite. After listening to the explanations of the craftsman, Chen Jian sorted out the contents and took notes one by one to get rid of some superstitious things , as far as possible to know what it is and why it is.

Li Dan, who was going to Manila, also brought back good news. The Spaniards obviously felt that there was a problem with the fleet, but they did not take any action-Manila has received news from Europe and the Governor-General from the Governor-General. While being vigilant, it also does not give this country a chance to make trouble, especially after the countries discuss issues of international law.

The Spaniards sent two ships to Taiwan for a half-circle, and Chen Jian's fleet accompanied the Spanish ship for a half-circle around the sea. Before leaving, they fired cannons to tell them to get out of here.

The news from Japan is also quite good.The Tokugawa family expressed their understanding of Chen Jian's actions in Ryukyu, and took the opportunity to take over some of the land of the Shimadzu family, and took over the Shimadzu family's large ship of more than [-] shi to the shogunate. Discuss the opening of a trading house near Edo.

Sure enough, the Shimadzu family could not suppress the civil strife. Chen Jian personally paid to help those in Ryukyu who had borrowed money from the Shimadzu family repay the money, and re-wrote an IOU in his own name.The Shimadzu family played a rogue for Chen Jian, saying that the battle of Ryukyu killed four domestic businessmen. The behavior of the four domestic businessmen had no choice but to compensate 40 taels of silver in exchange for Chen Jian to write a guarantee document: Ryukyu and the Shimadzu family’s compensation, the Ryukyu people will go by themselves Solve it, he won't interfere, which means that Ryukyu can't ask for compensation, it's just a formality.

As for the future tariffs, Taiwan, strong feudal vassals in the southeast, Catholicism, and national lock-ups, Japan is dealing with them, but it is impossible to be so drastic.

Further to the east, Chen Jian sent two boats, followed the Dutch to Malacca, fired a few shots at Portugal in the name of mercenaries, and retreated after being unable to attack for a long time.

At the same time, he quickly made the expectation that the Dutch would no longer directly attack Spain and Portugal after the West-Dutch truce agreement was signed, and encouraged the Dutch to occupy the Spice Islands, indicating that they could send people to support them.

The Dutch Indian company was supposed to negotiate with the British Indian company, but after being intervened by Chen Jian, this negotiation never happened again in this time and space, and the conflict between the two parties surrounding the monopoly of spices was escalating day by day.

Originally, both sides felt that their power in the Asian archipelago was not too strong, and there was also a common enemy of Spain and Portugal. It would be beneficial to both parties to discuss with each other the quota of spices distributed in proportion.

However, now that the Netherlands has found an ally like Chen Jian here, and Chen Jian doesn't think much of the current UK, so this negotiation is unnecessary.

Chen Jian was sure that the Dutch would never stretch their hands here until the Spice Islands had a firm foothold, especially if they had already established themselves.

At the price of abandoning Pattani's trade to the north, the Dutch exchanged Chen Jian's acquiescence and support for the Netherlands' actions in the Spice Islands area.At least this is the case for the time being. If the Dutch are free to gain a foothold in Indonesia in a few years, they will naturally want to think about this, but it is a pity that time did not give them a chance.

Not long after, the fleet sailing across the Pacific from Min County arrived in Beida Nian more than a year after the sailboats were sent back. One ship sank on the way and one was blown away by the wind, but the rest are still there.

Three battleships mainly made of amethyst sister ships, 1000 flintlock guns produced by Chen Jian's arsenal, a large amount of saltpetre, gunpowder with perfect formula, a complete set of equipment for the acid-base joint workshop with sulfur as raw material, 40 paramilitary employees, a large number of craftsmen, immigrants, a new batch of school graduates and party cadres, as well as cash and precious metals of 120 silver coins and [-] catties of gold, and four times the excess banknotes used by immigrants made Chen Jian Suddenly trembled.

After a grand welcome party, Chen Jian rubbed his hands, looked at the large number of guns and added ships, and the precious metals piled up in the warehouse, and immediately wrote a letter with a brush.

Before the fleet arrived, he had no guts to write it, but now he wished that the letter would cross the sea immediately.

The letter was written to the governor of Manila, and the content was very simple: Daming leased Taiwan to us for 20 years, and we need tribute.At the same time, I was also the envoy of the Xifan Xuanwei Department, a foreign prison official of the Ming Dynasty.

Apart from introducing his identity and repeating the treaty with Daming, there was no other words.He chose a merchant ship and asked Li Dan to follow him for another trip.

After that, a bank was quickly established in Wangbei City, with silver coins and gold as reserves, and banknotes were promoted among the victims of Wangbei City.

On the one hand, these disaster victims knew the existence of banknotes, and on the other hand, they did not have silver on them, and all food and drink expenses had to be purchased with the wages paid. The promotion of banknotes was unusually smooth.

Today, food and sweet potatoes are self-sufficient, and some large farms that grow sugar cane have already reached the harvest season.These craftsmen came at the right time, just in time to establish a sugar mill, and Chen Jian is also confident in improving the work. Many problems that rely on the craftsman's eyes and skills can be solved with thermometers; those methods such as decolorization and wine making can be solved by himself Know a thing or two.

The lumberyards along the river, the piers built at the mouth of the Danshui River, and the shipyards all started quickly after the craftsmen were replenished.

Chen Jian did not move on the gold mines, coal mines and sulfur mines for the time being, but continued to ask the prospecting team to investigate quietly and work out a feasible plan. Now is not the time.

This time is a matter of time, naturally it is trade.

While sending people to build momentum in Zhangzhou and Quanzhou, the news of the establishment of a trading company began to spread in these two places, and there were very few people who responded, not many.

On the other hand, after the fleet that crossed the Pacific to come here was repaired, Chen Jian made a grand trip to Fuzhou, carrying the eunuch given to him by His Majesty the Emperor of Chixian, and went straight to Ryukyu.

In one month, he worked as a very qualified anti-smuggling navy in Ryukyu.Everyone knows that it is illegal to go to Japan for trade, but most of the illegal ones must make money.

He did this not to suppress smuggling, but to monopolize the trade, forcing those people to join the trading company and form an interest group.

It was the peak season for the smuggling trade to Japan. Chen Jian dispersed the fleet and used pirate wolf pack tactics to cruise between Ryukyu and Japan.

All the rest were seized, and the ship sailed back to Beicheng to count the goods.

Of course, these smuggling ships are all related, especially with the officials of various parties. Chen Jian didn't listen, and all the sailors on the captured ships were imprisoned.

Since the officials and gentry still talk about morality, then I should be moral to them: this kind of smuggling is no different from collaborating with the enemy, and those who do this are the accomplices of the Japanese pirates.If you want to be tortured, submit the content of the torture to the hands of those censors and givers, this morality will be very interesting to talk about.

As for the immoral, as long as these people have not been able to break through the blockade and attack of their own fleet, they can only acquiesce, and then they are immoral.Anyway, I don't eat alone and have left enough equity for them. At this time, it is meaningless to talk about morality.

Guessing that the news had spread in Fujian and exploded, Chen Jian came to Zhangzhou slowly when it was already attracting hatred and someone was preparing to write a letter about his rampant crimes.

The large-scale building that started to be built after receiving the tribute a year ago has been completed. When Chen Jian's carriage entered the building, hundreds of people spread the news to the ears of their behind-the-scenes people. They were already in a hurry. Those who climbed up, those who were convenient to come forward, and those who were not convenient to come forward in person, all sent people to negotiate.

Before, they heard that smuggling was illegal, but they never knew that someone actually detained the ship—that's when they knew that smuggling was really illegal.

Chapter 1: Setting Fire and Lighting Lamps

Chen Jian'an sat in Zhangzhou, setting up wine and banquets all day long to entertain those who came into contact with him in advance.

He can sit comfortably, but others are restless.

In a certain mansion, several people looked anxious, waiting for some news.

Their smuggling boat was seized, which was an unprecedented event.If he was robbed by Japanese pirates, he would be forgiven, and if he was robbed by other pirates, he would admit it, but he was detained under the pretext of breaking the law.Is it true that smuggling is illegal?And is it really possible to be punished?These people find it incredible.
