Chapter 809 Queen
Iron smelting in Foshan, gold refining in Yongzhou, mining in Jiaozhou, and shipbuilding in Fuzhou.
Sugar cane was grown on Liuqiu Island, and pottery was developed in Qinzhou Bay.
Qin Lang drew big cakes one after another, each big cake was so tempting, and he specially made many drawing boards, with charts and numbers, very detailed and convincing.
All the people present at the meeting were as excited as if they had beaten chicken blood.
It seems that if you invest 69,800, you will get 10,240,000 soon!
Jia Wuben, the new governor of Rongzhou, looked at Qin Lang's meticulously drawn and printed brochure, and couldn't help admiring. Qin Lang really didn't just rely on his mouth. He did a lot of homework. Well, the exquisite ones can be handed down for collection.
There are pictures, texts, poems, and all kinds of data on it. People who read it are dazzled and their hearts are ups and downs.
"Sanlang, I think no matter whether the iron smelting town in Foshan can be completed or not, anyway, when this project starts, the Hongji Carboniferous Field in Wu'an Prefecture must be developed first. How much coal will be consumed for such a big iron smelting town? ?In addition, the rough processing of iron materials in various iron mines also consumes a lot of coal, right?"
Qin Lang did not hide his intentions at all, "The more charcoal is consumed, the more successful our Foshan iron smelting will be. This is all about prosperity and prosperity."
The whole industry involves not only the coal of Qin Lang's family, the Pearl River Delta Plain does not produce coal, and western and northern Guangdong are rich in iron. The east of Qin Lang's fiefdom has the largest open-air coal field in the entire Lingnan, and it also has the advantage of shipping.
It's just that in the past, although the Qin family had a lot of charcoal, the market was also a problem. The common people were used to burning firewood and grass, especially in Lingnan where the winter was not very cold, and the fuel consumption was not much. That is to say, some large cities with a large population consume more fuel, so it is relatively convenient and cost-effective to use coal.
The Qin family needs bigger coal customers? Iron and steel smelting will undoubtedly be a large coal consumer.
In Qin Lang's entire plan, the integration of the iron smelting industry will indeed drive Lingnan's economy to take off? Will sea trade plus iron smelting? Everyone can benefit.
Of course, Qin Lang will definitely benefit a lot? Just driven by the consumption of coal? It is enough for the Qin family to make a lot of money, not to mention that when Foshan Iron Town is really established, the Qin family will be the leader? Can I earn less?
Lao Jia admires Qin Lang very much? "I admire you for this? Everyone can see it? You must make the most money from this plan? But it's hard to object? After all, anyone can find their own profit."
"In the past, whether it was the Feng family, the Chen family, or the Yang family, or the Ning family, etc., they had operated in Lingnan for two to three hundred years, relying on forced conquest by force. Taking advantage of the opportunity to crusade? Seizing the land of mountains and forests step by step? Setting up prefectures and counties?
"Sanlang, knocking on the door with money like this is a new way of thinking."
"Who cares about black cats and white cats? The ultimate goal is to catch mice." Qin Lang smiled. Instead, they will try their best to sabotage the resistance. It is better to lure them for profit!"
In the past, Feng Ning and other tyrants fought with the sluts to compete for land and population. Once the land was successfully seized, the barbarians on it became the people under their rule, and they began to pay taxes and serve. For the barbarians, especially the barbarian leaders For them, this is tantamount to losing their own rule, the right to taxation and service, and being taken away by the Han people.
As for the barbarians, they may have to be taxed and burdened by Feng Ning and other families. In the final analysis, it is still a loss of interests.
Whether it is a half tax or a full tax, it actually increases the burden.
But now Qin Lang uses the two-tax law as the basic strategy. The barbarians in each Xidong base their taxes on the amount of land instead of Dingkou. For the barbarians who lack land and land and live in backwardness and poverty , in fact, the burden will not increase.
Even when tribal conflicts and Han-man conflicts are reduced, the barbarians will reduce a lot of losses and live a more stable life.
"In order to mine and smelt iron, in addition to technology, coal, and sales channels, there is also a very important foundation, that is, a lot of manpower is needed. We must rely on those barbarians who have sufficient manpower to mobilize them Mining together can solve important manpower problems."
Jia Wuben changed from the Changping envoy of Guangdong Province to the governor and governor of Rongzhou. In terms of it, it can be regarded as reused. After all, Rongzhou has more power, and the governor of the six states. These third-rank officials are more solid than a Changping envoy.
"What do I need to do?" Lao Jia knew that he could be the governor, and he was also recommended by his grandson. Now that the emperor reused Qin Lang to govern Lingnan, Qin Lang was completely delegated power. Not only was he given the title of envoy of the five Lingnan prefectures, but he was also given the right to be entrusted with envoys.
"It has been sixteen years since the founding of the Tang Dynasty, and we have gradually strengthened our control over Lingnan. Over the years, we have pulled, fought, suppressed, and pacified. The handsome chieftains in Lingnan, They are also fully aware of the strength of the imperial court, and now they don't dare to be too tough on the imperial court, so this is our great opportunity."
Qin Lang still advocated the combination of kindness and power. Of course, in the current situation, giving them more benefits would be more conducive to the imperial court's full control of Lingnan.
The establishment of the Rongzhou Governor's Mansion has six states under its jurisdiction, four of which are in the south of the Xijiang River, all of which are large mountainous areas at the junction of Guangdong and Guangxi, and are also gathering areas with strong bureaucratic forces. Fight here.
"Taking advantage of the opportunity of mining and taking advantage of the obedience of the barbarians, the county and township and Baojia will be restored first. In the name of mining, post stations and roads will be repaired first, and Zhechong Mansion, Frontier Army, Tuanjie, etc. will be organized and stationed at the same time."
"For those scumbags who belong to the barbarians, first exempt them from taxes for three years, and then give them a part of the tax reduction for the next three years, so as to induce them to cooperate in clearing the exact amount of land and registering for naturalization."
Qin Lang now has money in his hands. Before killing the Guangming Sect, he pulled out carrots and brought out the mud. By the way, he cleaned up a wave of Hu merchants and many illegal maritime merchants. He gained tens of millions, which is equivalent to Datang's annual fiscal revenue.
With so much money, only one-third was given to the court, and there was a lot left.
"We will pay for the construction of roads, post stations, cities, township offices, inspection offices, and security offices. The barbarians from all over the country should contribute some manpower. We can even give them wages."
Lao Jia had no choice but to accept, "It's too good for the barbarians. The road has been repaired. Isn't it convenient for them?"
"Since the imperial court implements the two-serve law, which is divided into the mu, and the money is used as a substitute, we will give them relief now, and of course we will no longer force them to serve them. We have money now, and this will satisfy these barbarians. Now the future is long-term. , don’t rush this moment.”
For problems that can be solved with money, Qin Lang felt that it would be better to use money directly, and give the barbarians some sweetness, so that future cooperation will be smoother.
For the imperial court, there is no shortage of the current money, so what if they are hired for some wages? What the imperial court wants is long-term control and rule, not squeezing a few more drops of oil from these barbarians.
"This is just the beginning of our cooperation, so we have to let them taste as much sweetness as possible, such as hiring them to build roads and build cities, the wages must be satisfactory, and their board and lodging must be provided, so that they can eat well... "
"Saburo isn't afraid of Sheng Mi's kindness and Mi's hatred?"
"These are two different things. One yard comes down to one yard. What we need now is to go to Xidong smoothly, establish our order, and bring them into the rule, so the smoother the better, the faster the better. All things are difficult at the beginning, and the first Once the first step is taken, the rest will start. As for these people in the future, we will be able to deal with some idiots when our rule is stabilized?"
Li Daliang, the governor of Annan Metropolitan Guard and governor of Jiaozhou, came to Qin Lang with a worried face, and handed Qin Lang an express letter when they met.
"Something happened to Annan. Juding has broken through Ande Prefecture and is besieging Guangyuan Prefecture."
Li Daliang is Qin Lang's old partner. In recent years, he has been in power in Annan, and he has performed very well. He insisted on using troops against the Heman tribe in the upper reaches of the Red River, opened up the passages to Yunnan and Bashu, and opened up Seven states and fifteen counties.
Previously, he made an appointment with the vassals of the Qin family in Wu'an Prefecture to conquer the Liaozi tribe together, but the Liaozi tribe they fought was retreating steadily, losing many cottages and population.
Juding is the original name of the Liaozi Department. Before Chen Liang, the Liaozi Department was originally named Juding Country. In the language of the local Liao people, Juding is the number of nine, and Ding means blood red. Juding means the alliance of nine blood relatives. tribal alliance.
Juding was already a relatively powerful tribal alliance in the pre-Qin period. It was once one of the ancient Yunnan-Guizhou countries along with Ailao, Yelang and Dian.
During the Han Dynasty, Juding sent troops to help the Han Dynasty put down the rebellion, beheading more than 50,000 enemies, showing its great strength, so it was recognized by the Han Dynasty, and it was named the same prince as the King of Dian and Yelang, and the country and county were juxtaposed.
Juding was established as a county and state, and after more than 600 years, it was abolished until the Liang Dynasty in the Southern Dynasty.
Today's Liaozi Department is actually the various departments that collapsed after the domestic and foreign wars in Juding. In those days, the nine major tribes in Juding actually changed a long time ago. In fact, there are now twenty-seven major tribes.
Among them, the three tribes of Nongren, Sharen and Tuliao are the strongest.
Previously, Qin Yong and Qin Yong led the vassals and knights of the Qin family in Wu'an Prefecture to recruit tens of thousands of militiamen and barbarians. Man and Liaozi launched a joint attack.
Killed all the way, attacked the city and broke the stronghold, and plundered countless Liaoman.
Li Daliang established Qiyuan Prefecture, Guangyuan Prefecture, Silang Prefecture, Xiyuan Prefecture, Ande Prefecture and other thirteen prefectures on the newly captured territory, which can be described as a great victory.
Many bureaucrats and barbarians moved westward.
When Li Daliang came to Guangzhou this time, unexpectedly the war broke out again, and the barbarians of the Liaozi Division unexpectedly united and made a comeback.
"It is said that a woman named Nong Sanniang emerged from the Liaoman. She was very powerful. She was originally the daughter of the leader of the Nong family. Banner, claiming to be the Queen of Juding, convening an alliance of twenty-seven barbarians, and gathering 100,000 young and strong to counterattack."
