Chapter 345: Fujian Speed, Fujian Model Sweeping Ming Dynasty (

Chapter 345 Fujian Speed, Fujian Model Sweeps the Ming Dynasty (Beginning)

At the end of the eleventh year of Hongwu, Zhu Di took a large group of people on a sea ship to Jilong Island to celebrate the New Year.

At that time, Jilong Island had just been burned by a fire. Yu Jing knew that Zhu Di was going to bring everyone to Jilong Island to celebrate the New Year, and urged the prisoners to try their best to recover.

There is only so much that can be recovered.

Although this year, the living environment is simple.

But everyone had a wonderful new year.

On the night of New Year's Eve.

In the warm bay, adults were chatting, and a group of children were lighting bonfires and playing happily on the shore.

Pick up shells and dig out the little crabs hidden in the soft sea sand...

Had a great time.

Yong Ming and Qi Hua can also walk.

Following Xiongying and Dongxu, a group of older children staggered on the soft beach. Without paying attention, the two little guys stuffed small fish that washed up on the shore into their mouths.

He was also very filial. He held a small fish in his little hand and bumped to Zhu Di and Xu Miaoyun. He raised his little hand and said vaguely: "Dad, mother, it's good... it's good... "

It made a group of people laugh.

…

Until the Lantern Festival.

A group of people set off all the fireworks they brought to the island and watched the brilliant fireworks reflected across the bay.

When the light and shadow disappeared, looking at the deep and vast sea in the distance, Jilong Island became peaceful.

Inside the wooden structure cabin.

Rough and simple.

There was no decent furniture either.

There was only a simple bed made of thin logs.

The young couple put the two little ones to sleep.

Standing next to the crib, I watched the two little guys reluctant to let go of the conch in their hands even if they fell asleep.

Xu Miaoyun couldn't help but smile, raised her head slightly, and looked at Zhu Di with a smile, "I really want to move here quickly. During this period, the two little guys will have a lot of fun."

There is nothing wrong with leaving Daming.

The world outside is wider.

Yong Ming and Qi Hua do not want to be the princes and princesses of the Ming Dynasty. Here, they grow up watching the sea every day. She is very confident that the minds of the two little guys will be as broad as their father.

Don't care about power or wealth.

She and Shiro have never been able to save any money.

The dividends from Tuqiao Village were left in the village when they left.

After coming to Fujian, the whole family relied on Shiro's salary and some previous savings.

It's not enough, and you have to get some from the 200,000 taels of goods that Yu Jing seized last time.

There were no servants in the county house.

Day laborers were only hired occasionally to do things they couldn't do.

She, Mingxia, Mingyue and the children did most of the work themselves.

There is no need to pursue exquisite food, just make sure that the whole family is well fed.

…

The days were also very happy.

Anyway, she had never lived this kind of life before, even when she was unmarried.

The children eat normal food on weekdays and are not picky eaters.

If you eat a good meal every few days, you will be happy and feel happy.

The children are healthy, cheerful, and know how to cherish them. Even Xiongying, Yingxu, and Zengshou are not used to it.

For Yong Ming and Qi Hua, growing up in such an environment is definitely better than being pampered and being served by a bunch of people since childhood.

"Two years at most." Zhu Di tilted his head with a smile, "I have gone through all the situations in Jian'an years ago, and I know them all. This year, Jian'an rural villages will be fully opened..."

Xu Miaoyun listened carefully with a smile in her eyes.

Of course she knew this.

Years ago, Shiro traveled to all the rural areas in Jian'an.

The number of owner-peasant farmers, semi-owner farmers, semi-tenant farmers, and full tenant households has been clearly counted.

In the entire Jian'an area, there were actually 1,005 pure tenant households that had completely lost their land.

The population involved is approximately 5,000.

According to Shiro's plan, this group of people will all migrate to the east this year.

Although Jilong Island has many slopes and mountains, there are few plains.

But there is also a lot of flat land on both sides of the Jilong River Valley.

The migrating people will cultivate and settle along the plains on both sides of the Jilong River Valley all the way upstream.

…

Except Jian'an.

When they left Jian'an to go to sea many years ago and passed through Fuzhou, Ye Mao, the chief envoy of Fuzhou, personally promised to promote rural village communities throughout Fujian.

Those local powerful people in Fujian who had been caught had also sent people through the Jiang family to send signals to Shiro.

I am willing to imitate the Jiang family and establish a rural village community in my hometown.

The gentry in Fujian don't need to think too much about this powerful statement.

Even if you don't want to, you will still hold your nose and follow it.

After all, everyone from Shilang and Huizu to the chief envoy, Yamen, and local powerful officials expressed their intention to do this.

The entire Fujian environment requires the establishment of rural village societies.

Gentry families are the best at assessing the situation and adapting to it.

Under this situation, Shiro was worried that he was taking too many steps too quickly, so he discussed with Ye Mao and decided to set up a rural village community correction guidance group.

All villages that want to establish rural village societies must report to the Chief Envoy's Yamen.

The chief envoy's office must constantly send people to supervise, guide, and correct deviations.

Shiro was worried about this group of people. In order to please him, they would resort to deception and act recklessly.

For this reason, the quota for establishing rural village cooperatives in Fujian has been carefully limited this year.

This year, except Jian'an and Min counties.

In other places in Fujian, there are only 300 places.

Observe the results of the gentry's establishment of rural village cooperatives this year, draw lessons from them, and increase the number of approval quotas year by year in the future.

After Ye Mao experienced the great victory in Min County, he didn't know what his father wrote in the reply receipt to Ye Mao. In short, he should obey Shiro's suggestion without saying anything.

At least fully supportive.

With Ye Mao’s support, the future situation in Fujian will be great.

Rural village communities were gradually established.

Shilang could also use his exclusive control of sea trade rights to force some powerful locals in Fujian to accept the employee-shareholding business model.

After all, pirates don’t dare to come to Fujian now.

The local powerful people in Fujian wanted to engage in maritime trade, so they had no choice but to cooperate with Shiro.

Give Shiro three or four years.

Fujian is richer than Jiangsu and Zhejiang.

But the level of wealth can at least rank at the top of all the provinces of the imperial court.

"Within this year, we will build the framework of the Jian'an rural village community. Next year, the focus will shift appropriately to Jilong Island..."

Develop rural communities in Jian'an.

It is impossible for him to provide precise guidance like Tuqiao Village.

To build a basic template for each village to provide food and clothing for the people, future development must rely on macro-guidance from the business formed by sea trade.

For example, maritime trade goods trafficking requires a large number of shipping equipment such as bamboo baskets.

They guided some villages rich in bamboo to engage in bamboo weaving.

Some villages with a tradition of planting mulberry trees and raising silkworms at home have joined forces with merchants and gentry to gradually guide the development of silk reeling and weaving.

…

In short, rural village communities in Fujian are developing towards a high level.

He wants to try to use economic behavior to leverage it in a macro way.

This was his first time doing this.

To be honest, I was a little excited.

At the same time, I was a little nervous.

However, a province should still be able to handle it, right?

Next year, a large number of pure tenant farmers from Fujian will migrate to the east. The population under his command will increase, and he will start to build his own private army.

In fact, it has already begun.

The old man's Min County Haiphong has been quietly pulled into his bowl.

…

Have a good night's sleep.

The next day.

Inside Jilong Island.

The group set off on their journey.

At the temporary simple dock, everyone else boarded the ship.

Yu Jing and Ye Wenju, who came to visit Zhu Di during the Lantern Festival, accompanied Zhu Di at the dock.

Zhu Di shifted his attention from the ship to Yu Jing, "This year, you have been quite busy. In addition to being responsible for training naval officers, you also often sent ships to Min County to pick up the migrating people. In addition, before Jiang Jinzhong arrived at Jilong Island, you also You need to command the prisoners to sort out several resettlement sites along both sides of the Jilong River Valley as soon as possible. You don’t need to worry about land reclamation, but before the first batch of people move in, you must build houses that can protect you from wind and rain..."

He doesn't ask for much.

As long as it can keep out the wind and rain.

The land on both sides of the Jilong River Valley is fertile.

When the people came, their lives were tense in the first year.

It will definitely get better and better in the future.

…

"In addition, you and Shen Zhi should communicate and see if you can recruit a group of blacksmiths, shipbuilders, etc., and choose a place on Jilong Island, which will be the naval shipyard in the future..."

Yu Jing originally had a sad face.

After all, he is a general who leads the army, let him build resettlement sites.

It's really a bit overwhelming.

Moreover, he has no interest at all!

But shipyards are different!

This is related to his dream of a big navy.

Then he patted his chest and promised, "Don't worry, Your Highness, I promise to complete the mission!"

Shen Zhi must be very positive about this matter.

The shipyard is also related to his dream of sea trade.

Moreover, after the imperial court banned the sea, many craftsmen in the coastal areas of Fujian, Jiangsu and Zhejiang who originally made a living by shipbuilding lost their livelihoods.

Not hard to find.

It's just that leaving home may be a bit difficult.

But that's okay.

He and Shen Zhi worked together to coerce and lure the craftsmen behind the prince's back. If they failed, they would directly kidnap them!

snort!

Zhu Di snorted coldly and reminded: "You'd better not go overboard!"

Although he didn't know what this guy wanted to do.

But this guy was eager to try, and his shining eyes spoke volumes.

He can also acquiesce in some special means.

After all, starting a business is difficult.

Gotta break the rules.

But it’s impossible not to beat.

Otherwise, these two guys, Yu Jing and Shen Zhi, would have to create a big trap for him.

hey-hey……

Yu Jing scratched his head and sneered, "Your Highness, don't worry, we will definitely not cause any trouble to Your Highness."

Zhu Di glared and turned to look at Ye Wenju.

Ye Wenju clasped his fists hurriedly.

This time, on behalf of the eldest brother, he took advantage of the prince's visit to Jilong Island to come and contact him.

Listen to this group of young people discuss things.

It really shocked him.

It was also an eye-opener.

What does the fourth son of Zhu Yuanzhang's family want to build Fujian into?

Big navy? Big sea trade? How old?

Twenty thousand elite infantry? How elite?

…

Now, everyone is beginning to plan to build a shipyard on Jilong Island.

I have heard so much that I still can’t imagine the scene described by the fourth son of the Zhu family.

We can only wait a few years before we can see the full picture.

Fortunately, I survived.

To be honest, he really wants to see how much trouble the fourth son of Zhu Yuanzhang's family can make.

While thinking about something in his mind, he clasped his fists with a smile: "What orders does the fourth prince have, but it doesn't matter. My eldest brother is very interested in doing business with the fourth prince, and I promise that from now on, as long as the brothers have food to eat, we will never do anything." Don’t disturb the Ming Dynasty.”

In fact, after he returned, a group of people analyzed that the man in front of him wanted to appease them.

It's strange.

Until he took the initiative to visit Jilong Island.

This person just entertained them well, but did not mention the matter of appeasement.

Perhaps he looked down on them.

Ye Wenju was full of bitterness.

Zhu Di clasped his fists and bowed, "Senior Ye and Shen Zhi should be familiar with each other. The third branch of the Shen family has built a maritime trade framework in Jian'an and Min County. When we go back, we will organize a batch of goods..."

...

After a brief exchange of greetings, Zhu Di set off.

Ye Wenju also left in a hurry.

Lv Zhen's old nest is not far from Jilong Island, just northeast of Jilong Island, Meihuaping (Mianhua Island).

Ye Wenju arrived near noon.

In the simple meeting hall.

Lv Zhen and other sworn brothers are there.

Ye Wenju just sat down.

The third brother, Yu Yaochen, could not wait to ask: "How is it, does Zhu Silang want to recruit us? Also, is this man ambitious?"

Ye Wenju looked around at his brothers and saw that they were staring at him eagerly. He smiled bitterly and spread his hands, "The fourth prince of Ming never mentioned it from beginning to end, nor did he hint at recruiting. I contacted Shen Zhi privately, and Shen Zhi just said he didn't know..."

Lv Zhen and others were immediately a little discouraged and a little dissatisfied.

Is this looking down on them?

Originally they were worried about being annexed, but now they seem to look down on them at all!

"Brother." Ye Wenju ignored the others and looked at Lu Zhen solemnly, "The fourth prince of Ming has a very ambitious plan..."

Then, Ye Wenju detailed Zhu Di's entire plan to transform Fujian to Lu Zhen and others.

A large navy.

A large sea trade.

Twenty thousand elite private soldiers.

Jilongyu Shipyard.

...

Lv Zhen and others were stunned.

Hiss!

At some point, the fourth son Chen Xiu took a breath, "Second brother, can the fourth son of the Zhu family succeed?"

They used to serve Zhang Shicheng and were active in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, not far from Fujian.

Later, they went out to sea and became pirates, and they often dealt with Fujian.

Everyone knows how poor Fujian is.

"If he really succeeds, I'm afraid Fujian will be rich!"

"A big navy? It's not called a navy or a navy, but a navy. The fourth prince of the Ming Dynasty is determined to make a career on the four seas?"

"Second brother, do you think the fourth son of the Zhu family has a chance to succeed?"

...

After Chen Xiu, others were surprised and spoke up, vying to consult Ye Wenju.

Although Lu Zhen didn't speak, he looked at Ye Wenju.

Ye Wenju said very seriously: "Brother, we can see some clues this year. This year, Jian'an and Minxian will fully promote the rural villages. In addition, the governor Ye Mao has completely turned to Zhu Di. According to Zhu Di's request, he approved the construction of 300 rural villages in other parts of Fujian..."

He heard all this news from Shen Zhi.

Shen Zhi told him this, not entirely because of the past relationship between the two sides.

It was clearly to show off for Zhu Di and then intimidate them.

…

"I don't think there is any need to question Zhu Di's ability. I think he is very likely to succeed. In the future, our living space at sea will only become smaller and smaller. If you want to surrender, brother, the sooner the better!"

Lv Zhen pondered silently.

The news brought back by the second brother was really shocking.

Surrender?

Then wait until the end of this year to see whether the fourth brother of the Zhu family is just talking on paper or really has this ability!

…

Spring and summer alternate.

Time flies.

After Zhu Di and his party returned to Fujian, they began to get busy.

The noise is getting bigger and bigger. News was constantly sent back to Jinling.

The first batch of 100 households of Jian'an people migrated to Jilong Island.

The second batch of 200 households migrated to Jilong Island.

…

Jinling, Zhenfusi Yamen.

Ji Gang held a secret report and stood in front of Jiang's desk, reporting, "Commander, the latest news just came from Fujian. With the support of Zhu Silang, the third branch of the Shen family established the Dayan Trading Company in Minxian, Jian'an and other places, and implemented a special system. The employees of the trading company also have shares..."

Damn it.

When he saw this, he was also a little jealous.

Some confidants transferred from the third branch of the Shen family to Fujian were given high shares from the beginning.

Some shopkeepers got "one li" shares.

The Fujian Jinyiwei estimated that with the exclusive maritime trade rights held by the King of Yan, these shopkeepers could at least get thousands of taels of silver in dividends at the end of the year.

Even those ordinary employees who got less shares were estimated to have a minimum of four or five taels of dividends every year.

Ordinary employees are fine.

As a Qian Hu of Jinyiwei, he envied and coveted the dividends of those shopkeepers.

His salary after being promoted to Qian Hu was just over 1,000 taels a year.

Being a shopkeeper for a merchant made more than being an official.

Many small managers of Dayan Commercial Bank made more than the county magistrate.

What is the King of Yan going to do!

This is nonsense!

According to his way of doing things, will many ordinary people earn more than the officials in the future?

"What else?" Jiang Yu frowned and asked, sneering in his heart.

Ji Gang's words were too sour.

Zhu Silang did this, and many officials in the Ming officialdom would be jealous!

Jinyiwei had known about the employment share system proposed by Zhu Silang, and he felt that it was impossible to do it at that time.

Zhu Silang could do it in Fujian.

But His Majesty and the Crown Prince would definitely not let him do it in the whole Ming!

...

Ji Gang said hurriedly: "In addition, the third batch of 300 Jian'an households were relocated. This time, the pirates Lu Zhen and Liang Daoming sent a large number of warships to assist. Zhu Silang also dispatched 300 coastal defense troops to Jilong Island. , Lu Zhen, Liang Daoming and others sent this group of people and coastal defense officers to Jilong Island, and after returning to Min County, they will take away the first batch of goods..."

…

To the end.

Ji Gang carefully spied on Jiang Wei, "Commander, in order to cooperate with Dayan Commercial Bank, the powerful Fujian companies also followed Zhu Silang's wishes and established the employee-share system."

Jiang 𤩽 came back to his senses, his expression was calm, and he could not see anything. He stood up and said, "Give me the secret report. I will go to the palace and report to the emperor. From now on, you will be responsible for Fujian affairs."

"Are there any of our people on Jilong Island? What is Zhu Silang doing on Jilong Island?"

Ji Gang shook his head hurriedly, "Commander, Jilong Island is separated from the land by a sea. Pigeons cannot transmit it. The strait is also controlled by Zhu Silang's navy. Even if we send people up, it will be difficult to send the news back."

Jiang 𤩽 immediately frowned.

After thinking for a moment, he ordered: "Find a way to place people in Zhu Silang's navy..."

Mentioning the navy, a contemptuous smile flashed across Jiang's lips.

The news that Zhu Silang was engaged in a large navy had been sent back to the court.

It’s not that Zhu Silang leaked the secret.

It's Yu Jing.

This guy wrote a letter to his former Navy colleagues, bragging about the great navy.

He also boasted that in the future, when the prince went north to conquer the Yuan Dynasty and Zhu Silang's private troops returned to the court to assist in the war, he would command the so-called big navy and send Zhu Silang and his 10,000 elite troops from the sea to the Qinhuai River and land in Jinling.

How dare you brag!

"During this period, weren't Yu Jing and Shen Zhi looking for boatmen everywhere in the Jiangsu and Zhejiang areas? To this end, didn't they even use kidnapping methods? Go there yourself and develop a few famous old boatmen. Take the initiative to deliver it to your door. In addition, the Jinyiwei system in Fujian is not perfect enough. Go there in person and build more Jinyiwei strongholds!"

After saying that, he left Ji Gang behind and hurriedly entered the palace...

Please ask for monthly tickets, recommended tickets, follow-up subscriptions, and full subscriptions.

After reading a book friend's suggestion, I will write about building a large navy and infantry in detail. It was originally planned to transition to leading troops back to Jinling and the Northern Expedition within two chapters. It may take a little longer, but it won't be too long. I guess it will be. Just add a chapter or two.
