Chapter 36 Hope of Spring Plowing

"System, give me one ton of sweet potato seeds and one ton of potato seeds!" Zheng Kezang said boldly with one hand on his hips and the other raising his fist.

【.】The system was silent for a long time.

[Host, have you never planted land before? 】

"Ah, this." Zheng Kezang remembered that growing sweet potatoes and potatoes does not require seeds, just cut them into pieces and they will sprout!

Zheng Kezang was so ashamed that he forgot all common sense and made a joke to the system.

Fortunately no one knows!

"System, book me ten acres of sweet potato seedlings and ten acres of potato seedlings. You don't need to send them over now. They will be shipped to me during spring plowing." Zheng Kezang calculated and found that ten acres of land is enough.

Dongning can produce two to three crops a year. In the spring, ten acres of land will be planted to test the water. If the yield is good, we will expand the planting area in the summer.

[Host, please pay: forty brilliant points]

"Why is it so expensive?" Zheng Kezang was a little broken. He didn't have enough points to cover up the heat, and he felt distressed.

[The sweet potato seedling variety is Guangshu 421, and the potato seedling variety is Zhongshu No. 5]

"Father-in-law, this guano is not that guano. The guano I am talking about is of course not freshly baked, but a guano mine formed by the long-term accumulation and evolution of guano. We will find out after we dig a few boats over.

"

Yu Yonghe, a later Qing Dynasty scholar, recorded in "Journey to the Sea: Pseudo-Zheng's Legacy":

Our dynasty strictly prohibited the passage to the sea, and no ships were allowed to enter the sea. However, the merchants monopolized it, bribed the keep-mouthed officers and soldiers, and secretly communicated with the Zheng family to reach Xiamen, and then sold them all over the country. All Chinese goods were sold overseas to the Zheng family, so the benefits of the ocean crossing were

, only the Zheng family is in charge of it, and the wealth is beneficial to Rao. Under the order of relocation, the residents of the coastal areas of Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Fujian, and Guangdong all moved forty miles inland and built border walls as boundaries. Naturally, the walls were strong and the wilderness was clear, so we were measuring them.

The land is small and narrow, there are not many taxes, and there is nothing to plunder, so you are trapped in it. The so-called "subduing the enemy's army without fighting" is certainly not ignorant. I don't know that the stricter the sea ban, the more severe the sea ban will be, the benefits will be there, even if the wise people are not aware of it.

Chen Yonghua took a look at it and thought, "Oh, it's another creature created by gods. We can't afford to offend it. Whatever you say will happen."

The name is ugly, but the responsibility is great. Zheng Kezang didn't dare to think about how many people would be fed by adding bird droppings and sweet potatoes.

Moreover, from beginning to end, the movement to the sea was carried out in an extremely barbaric way to destroy the coastal people, which was truly a shocking atrocity.

It can be used to fertilize and make gunpowder. It is a treasure and must be transported quickly. The food crisis in Ming and Zheng is a pain in Chen Yonghua's heart.

"In these two places, the price will be as high as you can sell it, especially perfume and sugar cane wine." Zheng Kezang had no good impression of these two countries, so he had to make a fortune.

"Okay, this fleet will be used exclusively to transport guano from now on. It will be managed by me and will be called the Dongning Guano Brigade."

"That's right, I still have a hand, so it will be safe. I will arrange the fleet when the time comes, but how will the money be distributed? The Ministry of Accounts will still have internal funds."

The migration time is very short, usually three days, and officers and soldiers will be sent to drive them away after the expiration date.

Yes, once you hear it, it’s a good seed, and you won’t lose 40 points.

Immediately, Zheng Kezang took out the bird droppings distribution map, which even had routes marked on it, which was absolutely amazing.

"It's so good. Will the price be set according to the price you sell it to the British?" Chen Yonghua asked about the details.

Take the situation in Fujian Province as an example:

In Funing Prefecture, "the prefecture is bounded by the main road, and the south road is bounded by Zhouqianling. Songshan, Hougang, Chi'an, and Shiba City are also outside the boundary. There are wooden fences beside the road, and cattle and horses are not allowed to enter or leave. A sign is hung at each place

, saying: Anyone who dares to step out of the boundary will be beheaded!" "If you cross the boundary a few steps, you will be punished."

In order to prevent the immigrants from having any worries, all the houses outside the boundary were burned down.

In Putian County, "Residents from Fuhai moved to live within twenty miles from the city. An earth wall was built twenty miles away as a boundary. No one was allowed to go into the sea. No one was allowed to wander outside the boundary. Those who went out of the boundary would be killed if they violated the order. Military soldiers patrolled the boundary from time to time."

If someone crosses the border occasionally, he will be beheaded as soon as he encounters a patrol."

"By the way, father-in-law, is there any way to sell the Tibetan Immortal Wine and Perfume to the Tatars, earn their money, and make our guns?" Zheng Kezang wanted to open up the Qing Dynasty's market and make money. It's not shabby.

.

"Enough is enough, it's not enough because I fooled the British." Zheng Kezang sold less than half of his total output to the British.

The Qing Dynasty wanted to use this method to seal off Ming and Zheng, but in fact, from another perspective, it also had certain benefits for Ming and Zheng.

After the residents were driven into the boundary, anyone who dared to leave the boundary would be killed without mercy.

"Qinshe, is bird droppings really so useful?" Chen Yonghua didn't believe it.

"Qinshe, instead of trying so hard to sell it to the Tatars, it is better to sell it to Japan and Korea." Chen Yonghua suggested.

After the Tatars firmly established the so-called "border", they used extremely brutal means to drive the people outside the border into the interior.

Europa Universalis is also called Point Counter, so points should be used sparingly.

The so-called relocation and sea ban meant that the Qing Dynasty forced the coastal people to move thirty miles inland, so that the Ming and Zheng Dynasties could not obtain supplies from the inland.

"But, do you have enough supply over there?" Chen Yonghua didn't know Zheng Kezang's details either.

Zheng Kezang had already thought of the captain's job title, so he called him Dongning Zhuan Shishi.

"It's very difficult to realize. We definitely can't sell Fujian, Guangdong, Jiangsu and Zhejiang and other places. The Tatars' border relocation and sea ban are too extreme." Chen Yonghua sighed.

Zheng Kezang slapped his head and thought: I almost forgot, this is the monster house of East Asia, Korea and Little Japan, and their aristocratic class has accumulated deep wealth and has a huge market.

According to this record, the maritime ban and border relocation not only did not cause the Mingzheng Group's plight, but instead helped the Mingzheng Group monopolize overseas trade and promoted the Mingzheng Group's trade development.

They could even be smuggled overland from Goryeo into the Qing Dynasty.

"Then just say it, I'll go make arrangements to get it done tomorrow."

"Let's do this, father-in-law. 10% of the money will be allocated to the Ministry of Accounts, and the remaining 90% will be given to me. I have more places to use the money."

"Shen Cheng, Mao Xing, prepare your horses and come with me to find the chief envoy." Picking up the guano map of the South China Sea given by the system, Zheng Kezang went to seek help from his father-in-law again.

It is conceivable that the people along the Fujian border were in a situation where they were walking on thin ice, as if they were facing an abyss.

You can't live alone. Zheng Kezang has a big picture, so please help the Ministry of Household Affairs.

"Moreover, guano ore can also be used to produce gunpowder." Because the phosphorus and nitrogen content are very high, the main achievements of gunpowder are phosphorus and nitrogen.

"Qin She, we don't have anything else. We have many ships. We will arrange a fleet for you to use in the next few days." Chen Yonghua said easily.

There are still sixty-five points left, so save them first in case there is any emergency.

Huangshi Qianzong Zhang An of this county "brought only a knife whenever he went out to patrol the border and would kill everyone he met... He cut off the border for more than ten years and killed thousands of people."

Seeing that everything was done, Zheng Kezang was ready to go home.

"Qin She, wait a minute. Your mother-in-law made fried rice cakes for my concubine. You can take them back. My wife likes to eat fried rice cakes the most." Before leaving, Chen Yonghua instructed.

Chen Yonghua is from Zhangzhou, Fujian, and fried rice cakes are a traditional snack in Zhangzhou.

"Yeah, let me thank you on behalf of my concubine!"
