Chapter 325: Bahai, stability, ambition

In August of the 13th year of Jiajing, the whole world was peaceful.

Zhao Sanshui of Jeju Island is now quite comfortable. Although the area of ​​Jeju Island is small, he is the leader alone. Moreover, some of the past maritime merchant ships have begun to take the initiative to go to the island to pay tolls. The food problem that was difficult in the past has now been solved.

More than 30 Minweishu have begun to produce grain, and there is also excess grain. Originally, Minwei's colonization land was in the south, and it was extremely convenient to transport nearby Jeju Island through ships. Although North Korea's land is barren, the southern part is still fairly standard. Moreover, because of the technology of Wisconsin and the old farmers, it has become the agricultural officials of various Minweishu, and standardization and slight scale have achieved good benefits.

Of course, Jiang Feng has no idea about standardizing this kind of thing, but now that he has just arrived in North Korea, everything must be carried out according to the instructions above to avoid being resentful. Jiang Feng, with 10,000 soldiers and more than 200,000 people, is still at a disadvantage in North Korea. What he does is naturally be cautious and trembling.

The merchants on the northern seas reacted quickly. After knowing that Jiang Feng's Jiang family army disappeared in Dengzhou, they all prepared to join the wise leader.

The private port in Dengzhou has been blown up, and Shandong is now like a large barracks, and he dare not go to Dengzhou anymore, so Linjia Island in Laizhou has become the best choice, but no one expected that the island was occupied by people who took the lead.

The occupation of this natural good harbor made all the pirates who were late to beat their chests and stamp their feet. The government's attitude towards this place is the same. As long as you hand over the money you should pay, nothing will interfere with what you do.

However, the island entrenched on the island is more than a thousand distant children of the Lin family from the Lin family. In the sea, where there is no royal law, more than a thousand people in the Lin family occupy this place, so they are naturally the target of everyone's covetment. In April, after the ground in Shandong became completely quiet.

Three fleets in Jiangnan spent money to hire pirates and pirates, preparing to seize the port. Everyone saw what Jiang Feng occupied Dengzhou Port and found that year. This was a great opportunity.

As a result, this fleet that was about to take action was surrounded by five armed merchant ships on the sea near Shijiu. This kind of ship was Jiang Feng's ship, and now it was a ship carrying artillery at sea, and it was not a Western-style ship with no other semicolon except Jiang Feng. Moreover, these armed merchant ships were no longer the six-cannon ships of the past, but a big guy with twenty cannons.

These maritime pirates who had joined forces with some desperate people to occupy Linjia Island did not even have a chance to beg for mercy. If they wanted to run, the hard sail was not as efficient as the soft sails of the Jiang family in terms of wind. There was a huge gap in speed. After catching up, the two ships were dozens of steps away.

The cannon hit the gun, and one of them was sunk. Some people were desperate to drive the ship closer and prepared to jump to the gang. However, even if they had the chance to grab the rope and swing over, the other party poked it down with a spear as if it was a game. After the battle, they were not killed. Hundreds of people were still tied to Jeju Island. North Korea now needs labor force and Han labor force, so it is not a waste.

After this battle, the people at sea finally knew who is the most useful person in the sea and who is the biggest fist.

The technical advantages of the Jiang family army finally emerged. Ship technology cannot be learned by looking at the appearance. The keels, ribs, and the structure of the compartment inside are all key, and the masts and sails are all quite exquisite things, but I can't see anything from a distance from the ship.

What's more, Jiang Feng's dock in Dengzhou is already very hidden, and after Incheon, he is even more isolated. Even if others want to inquire about information, it will be extremely difficult.

Although the product produced by combining the technology of the Eastern Fu Ship and the Western Galen Ship has various shortcomings, it is enough to dominate the sea. Moreover, Jiang Feng's emphasis on artillery has further expanded his advantages. Of course, these can only be carried out with the support of Jiang Feng's almost terrifying financial resources.

If it weren't for the financial support of sea trade and private salt, Su Guanyue would have tried her best to dispatch it, and she would never have achieved such a success. Even so, Jiang Feng still used the money he used as a reserve to get from the capital. Now there is an advantage in North Korea that the big wood on Changbai Mountain is easier to obtain.

The small court in North Korea was already controlled by the Jiang family army, and one by one was sent out one by one. Naturally, someone mobilized civilians to do it in Pyongyang, and Jiang Feng spent some money to go up, so it was even more unfavorable. Now, in addition to Jiang Feng's own merchant ship and Monk Lee's merchant ship in the ports near Incheon, Xia Cuiyu's own ship is also running.

Xia Cuiyu is now Jiang Feng’s inner housekeeper. Although Jiang Feng has no time to care about it, after discussing with Liu Fangrui and Su Guanyue, they thought that it would be better to put it openly in front of them than to put it outside so embarrassingly, and Jiang Feng had no objection.

But Xia Cuiyu still has the same attitude. If Xia Qingjiao is not eliminated, she will not really enter the Jiang family's door. Jiang Feng's maritime power is already very powerful at this time, and he does not take the Xia family's ships and sailors so seriously. But after all, this woman followed him from Dengzhou to a foreign land, and there was some fate between them.

What's more, Jiang Feng's family is big and wealthy, and it is very inconvenient to use Zhao Xiucai as the housekeeper. Zhao Xiucai is now almost the head of the entire Jiang family's material system. He is so busy that he can't separate himself. So he simply asked Xia Cuiyu to come to manage the inner house.

Xia Cuiyu is different from Liu and Su, the wife of the inner house. She has been operating business outside since she was a child and is a capable and smart person. This time she uses it, she can be regarded as a talented person. Xia Cuiyu proposed that the twenty-two Xia children who followed him in Cuiyulou had no place to help in North Korea, so she simply bought a few ships and started a business at sea.

The sea around the Ming Dynasty was full of gold and silver. As long as you took the boat into the sea, it would be difficult for pirates not to get rich without encountering wind and waves. What's more, there was Jiang Feng's powerful maritime power, and the Xia family were familiar with each other. After doing it a few times, they started to snowball.

In addition to busy ports, North Korea also has a tightly guarded dock. According to the shipbuilding plan of Dengzhou, in the 14th year of Jiajing, there should be a 650-ton warship of the same level as the Shunfeng, two ships of about 400 tons, and about ten ships of about 300 to 200 tons.

In North Korea, more than 30 civil and military controls were all strictly controlled by military control. The information transportation in this era was also sluggish and backward. All news from the Ming Dynasty was strictly blocked. Moreover, Jiang Feng never treated the people kindly. There is an iron rule among civil and military defense:

"It's just a reckless suggestion that those who return home will die!"

After seeing the heads of nearly one hundred people, everyone became honest. Moreover, the regiment training of each civil guard is a cross-guard. The young and strong training selected by the civil guards are all carried out in other civil guards, and they are carried out in rotation, suppressing and monitoring each other.

After the initial homesickness was overwhelmed, I felt the benefits here. First of all, the Jiang family army said that they would not collect taxes for three years, but they would have labor service. After three years, the taxes would only be collected 30%.

You should know that when I was in Shandong, most of these refugees were tenants and semi-self-cultivated farmers who rented landlords' fields to farm. They often had to hand over the crops they worked hard for a year to the landlords first, and then paid royal grain and national taxes, and then had to work hard. Although the land in North Korea is not familiar with the land. When spring plowing and sowing just now, many people were disdainful of the guidance of the farming officials, thinking that I have been working in the fields for so many years, will you still use your teachings?

However, the agricultural officials are also a big shot in the civil guards who speak effectively. It is impossible not to listen. Many people have changed their habits over the years and sowed them step by step according to the rules, and planted so-called crops such as corn, and of course, crops such as wheat and sorghum.

Because all of them are organized by the military officials and the agricultural officials. Although there are few oxen harvested among the Korean people, there are many people and great power, and they still exert extremely high efficiency. When the harvest is in August, many people are looking at the harvest of full warehouses of grain. Many elderly people cannot believe that it is all their own food. Some people who have lived a hard life are crying there.

The climate in southern Korea is warm, so you can cultivate for two seasons a year. After the second batch of seeds were planted, Minwei's mind gradually settled down. Although the laws here are harsh, the food belongs to them. And I heard that the Ming Dynasty was still in war.

In the docks in Incheon, there are also craftsmen selected from various civil servants. If there are people who are willing to work in the docks, the wages are high and they can be deducted from taxes, which is considered a very superior job. There are also a large number of North Korean craftsmen in the docks. Now the residents of all parts of North Korea are in panic, and they may not be charged by the government at any time. It is said that the people arrested are now exiled to places where they cannot be returned.

However, as a craftsman, as long as he knows the skills and can work in the dock or understands other skills, his status will be very different. He will be guaranteed in all aspects immediately, and his family's status will be much higher.

Over a year, North Korean craftsmen came from all over the country, gathered around Minwei or lived in mixed villages. There were about thousands of households, with a total of 20,000 people. Jiang Feng arranged them to live between Seoul and Minwei District. These people were not under the jurisdiction of North Korean officials and were called the Goryeo Craftsman Camp.

Jiang Feng has been living in a quiet place for this period of time, staying in the fortress near Incheon Port. Some people close to him know that he is in the command room at the center of the fortress every day, looking at the map hanging on the wall - the sea map of the Wanli Sea Frontier...
