Southerners immigrate to Liaodong and don’t have to worry about their survival problems.

Zhu Yuanzhang carried out the border settlement, and most of the criminals sent to Liaodong were from residents south of the Yangtze River... They were said to be criminals, but in fact, many of them were prisoners of hostile forces, or light-sentenced prisoners who were not enough to be exiled.

At that time, Zhu Yuanzhang's immigration work was well guaranteed. The death rate of southerners immigrated to the Northeast was much lower than that of Huguang and Sichuan in the early Qing Dynasty!

After all, it is snowy and snow. Zhao Han organized Liaoning immigration this time and the treatment was much better than before.

For those who are determined to immigrate, each person will be given two sets of winter clothes, including cotton hats and cotton boots. According to the principle of nearby arrangement, twenty people in the same village share a plowing ox. The ownership of the plowing ox belongs to these twenty people collectively, which is what the government gives to them.

It is expected to migrate to Liaoning next year, and 3,000 oxen alone will be needed. Fortunately, a lot of them were seized from the Tartars.

Hou Fangyu was appointed as the magistrate of Fushun. When the Tatars moved the capital and evacuated, the people there were looted, and many people were abducted as grain transporters. Although they were magistrates, the population under his rule could be at most more than 10,000.

Moreover, if the war continues next, Fushun will be the front line for the Datong Army to fight against the Tatars!

As for now, the Datong Army is still sending troops. After attacking the Fushun Pass of the Liao Great Wall and occupying Fushun Pass, the Datong Army can cross the Great Wall at any time and surround Sarhu City under the control of the Tatars.

Hou Fangyu did not complain about this harsh environment, because he took the initiative to apply to go to the Northeast.

First, for the sake of your own career, as long as you work hard in Liaoning, your political achievements will definitely not be buried;

Secondly, his father Hou Xun was involved in the political struggle of the Qing Dynasty, and his legs were broken, and he was hungry and full in prison. When the Tartars evacuated Shenyang, Hou Xun was forgotten in the prison. When the Datong Army rescued him, Hou Xun was hungry and fled. Hou Fangyu went to Fushun and could take care of his father.

"Drive on the boat!"

Several official boats set off in Nanjing, some headed for Shanghai, and took sea boats to Liaoning. Some headed straight to Hebei area along the Grand Canal. As for Shaanxi, most officials passed by Hubei.

There were many merchant ships following the officials.

Although the immigrants have not set off yet and have to wait for the beginning of next spring to set off from the south. However, merchants can't wait and they have to arrive this winter. First, they have to gain a foothold, set up simple warehouses, open shops in the city, and transport the goods in the spring.

Every time the Datong court expands its territory, it contains unlimited business opportunities, and many merchants make a fortune.

In the past, the government had to mobilize merchants to develop new territory. Nowadays, merchants are scrambling to grab the store in the new territory, and they have to bid for auction before they can be taken down. Even when siege, merchants bought the blocks that were burned to ruins and paid for the money to rebuild the house.

For small businessmen, as long as they immigrate with their families, they can give priority to buying shops and do not have to compete with big businessmen for auction.

Moreover, such small businessmen are protected by the government and can set off with officials who come to work on official ships.

In a blink of an eye, I came to Shanghai to change the ship. Hou Fangyu hadn't seen him for several years and found that Shanghai was extremely prosperous. Its backed by the Yangtze River waterway, and its population increased. Sichuan, Hubei, Hunan, Jiangxi, Anhui, Jiangsu... In provinces along the Yangtze River, merchants came to do business.

"Hey, hey!"

The dock workers shouted labor mail, and the crane of hybrid human and animal power was slowly pulling up more than twenty sacks tied up.

When the buffalo was pulled to a certain height, the buffalo was stopped by the messenger.

The workers collectively pulled the ropes, and under the action of pulleys and gears, the long log arms began to turn and move. They stopped above the deck of the sea ship, and the workers slowly lowered the ropes, and the more than 20 sacks fell steadily on the deck.

Such cargo cranes have appeared in several ports.

Most of the goods are still transported manually, especially fragile items such as porcelain. However, bulky goods such as grain, especially when in a hurry, will choose to rent a terminal crane, in addition to the faster loading speed, there is no big difference in cost. After all, cranes also need to be built and maintained.

The real advantage is that handling items such as heavy siege cannons is the correct way to use the crane.

Hou Fangyu came down from the inland river official boat and walked all the way at the dock. He went with other officials to board the Shanghai army's ship. What he saw along the way made him feel quite fresh, and this place was very different from Nanjing.

On the dock, you can occasionally see Japanese people, all Japanese ronin who came to China secretly.

Tokugawa Iemitsu's policy changed again, and the port that had been opened before was closed by the shogunate again. Only one Nagasaki Port was left for trade between China and the Netherlands, and only allowed to do business with the shogunate.

After a brief opening, Japan chose to close its country again, so the so-called Japanese pirates appeared again.

These Japanese pirates had no courage to come to the Chinese waters and only robbed around Ryukyu.

They are the private armed forces of some vassal lords. Tokugawa Ieyasu repeatedly requested to establish diplomatic relations with China. Every time they made a little progress, they would be destroyed by the Japanese pirates. Behind them, these vassal lords were definitely doing bad things.

There is another situation that seems to be unexpected and is being cleaned up.

When Zhao Han first opened the port, European merchant ships were available at all ports. But until now, European merchant ships have almost disappeared, and only in Guangzhou and France's commercial stations.

The reason is that China's maritime businessmen have made a collective effort and business monopolized China's import and export trade along the coast.

The purchase price of Chinese maritime merchants is lower and has local advantages, so they defeat European maritime merchants in terms of price. Merchant ships from European countries are now waiting in Vietnam and Java, and buying Chinese goods from those places is lower than the cost of driving ships to China to purchase goods by themselves.

France, which caused trouble everywhere, was expelled by various Southeast Asian forces and was forced to go to Guangzhou to get goods at a high price.

Hou Fangyu successfully boarded the warship, stood on the deck and observed it, and then two European ghosts came up.

"Mr. Wei is also going to Liaoning?" Hou Fangyu took the initiative to say hello.

Wei Kuangguo said: "A Jesuit member was sent to Nanjing but was not received by His Majesty. But His Majesty allowed him to observe everywhere. He heard that Liaodong was going to engage in major immigration, so he accompanied this member to accompany him."

Hou Fangyu looked at another ghost guy.

Wei Kuangguo introduced: "The Chinese name of this church member is Nan Huairen, Nan Nanjing, Huairen guards the Taoist Huairen."

"Good luck!" Hou Fangyu bowed.

Nan Huairen said in bad Chinese: "Good luck!"

This time, Nan Huairen came to China, first to go to Macau, and a total of more than a dozen missionaries came.

Because the Dutch financial support was cut off, the church in Macau was completely supported by the Portuguese believers in Macau, and it was almost impossible to open. I heard that other places were even worse, and missionaries had to work to make a living, and these new missionaries left China one after another.

Only Nan Huairen chose to stay. After all, the stupid son of the landlord family brought enough money to live in China for a few years and his father was a hereditary judge and tax officer in the Netherlands.

The three left the deck and entered the cabin to chat.

Because Wei Kuangguo came to China for a short time, he did not hold a position in the Hanlin Academy, but he appointed Ai Ruluo and Johnson Chan as his teachers.

生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生�

Defend, defend.

Rescue the country and support the country.

This name is the Ming Dynasty to defend and support...

"What knowledge is Mr. Wei currently studying?" Hou Fangyu asked.

Wei Kuangguo replied: "I am studying Chinese history. I plan to write a history book to introduce to Europe the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors of China to the Qin and Han Dynasties. That is, from the birth of mankind to the history of East Asian during the reign of Christ. Europeans do not understand this, they should also have to understand that China had already had a brilliant civilization before the reign of Christ."

Hou Fangyu nodded and praised: "This is also a contribution to education. I wish you a smooth editing of the book."

Wei Kuangguo introduced: "This Nan Huairen church member graduated from the University of Leuven. He is well-versed in astronomy, geography, mathematics, calendar, machinery, philosophy, and all kinds of knowledge. He is also good at casting artillery. Although His Majesty did not summon him, he admired his knowledge very much, so he was allowed to travel to Liaodong on a warship. After traveling to Liaodong, he would still travel to the north and then prepare to go to Sichuan."

"It was actually a great Western scholar who was rude and rude!" Hou Fangyu bowed and said.

Nan Huairen hurriedly bowed: "I'm going to... Chinese... study... forgive me... please."

Hou Fangyu smiled and said, "It's not a problem."

The warships set sail two days later, and more than 20 merchant ships followed them. One-third went to North Korea for trade, and two-thirds went to Liaodong.

North Korea has already been lying to Chinese merchants, and the monarch and ministers are willing to trade. They use ginseng, minerals, and even North Korean food to exchange various commodities from China, and make a lot of profits from it. As for ordinary North Korean citizens, it doesn't matter how much they starve to death, as long as they don't rebel.

A few days later, the fleet arrived at Lushunkou, where trade was prospering rapidly after the war and a group of dock workers immigrated in advance.

The workers are also willing. Due to the lack of labor, the salary of working in Lushunkou is much higher than in Shanghai.

Hou Fangyu took Fushun County officials all the way from Jinzhou to Chenyang. He introduced to two Europeans along the way: "These are all the territory of our Han family, and they were stolen by savages and barbarians. Now there are not one ten Han people. Your Majesty is wise and powerful, and has defeated the barbarians and rescued the living Han people. Even the Mongolian and Jurchen civilians have been forgiven and can divide the land and settle down with the Han people."

I always listen to Nan Huairen's Chinese, but I don't know how to speak. I have been communicating in Chinese these days, and I am already more fluent than when I was in Shanghai.

He observed the situation along the way, asked some questions, and started writing a diary when he arrived in Chenyang:

"I followed the Chinese officials and had arrived at the old capital of the Tatars. The arrogant Tatars captured the capital of China a few years ago. Even Chenyang, the old capital of Tatars, was stolen from the Chinese, and now it has been taken back by the Chinese emperor..."

"China's territory is vast. This place designated as Liaoning is larger than many European countries, and the climate is similar to that of Northern Europe. The Chinese people here have been killed too many by Tatars, so the Chinese emperor decided to immigrate. The amount of immigration next year is set at 60,000. This is not a marching of 60,000 troops, but a family of 60,000 people. They need to be resettled, seeds and oxen, and even the Chinese emperor also provides winter clothing. I think no monarch in Europe can do it."

"What's even more terrifying is that immigration of this scale has been carried out many times in other provinces. Next year, the 60,000 immigrants will only arrive in Liaodong. At the same time, they will also immigrate 100,000 to Shaanxi and 100,000 to Hebei... The unimaginable scale of immigration."

"I think it is not considered that His Majesty the Pope prohibits Chinese believers from worshiping ancestors and worshiping Confucius. China has its own traditions and they have their own beliefs. Christianity must follow this traditional custom, otherwise it will be difficult to carry out missionary activities..."

"Today, I watched the execution ceremony in Shenyang, and a group of traitors were beheaded. I heard that the kind Chinese emperor wanted to send these traitors to mining. But the emperor's teacher, an old wise man, and a large number of Liaoning officers, wrote letters to request severe punishment for the treason. The emperor allowed them to execute all the infamous guys before the Tatars entered the pass..."

Shang Kexi had been beheaded long ago, and Kong Youde, Zu Dashou, Wu Sangui and others were all beheaded outside Shenyang City and displayed in public.

Zu Dashou cried and complained at the execution ground: "I have been holding Ningjin for twenty years, and even if I have been besieged in the city, I will never surrender. In the end, the reinforcements will not come. My Zu Dashou will live up to the Ming Dynasty!"

Wu Sangui just knelt on the execution ground and didn't speak. He watched the traitor beheaded by his head in a daze. The onlookers burst into cheers.

"puff!"

The executioner sprayed a mouthful of wine on the blade and pressed down on Wu Sangui's neck.

brush!

A knife flashed and the head fell to the ground.
Chapter completed!
