Chapter 402 The logic of the natives of Hong Kong
Wang Shouren lingers with Tang Bohu for three days. The two used to be old acquaintances. When they met again this time, their identities, knowledge, and even personalities had undergone tremendous changes, but this did not hinder their interactions.
Even Wang Shouren and Tang Bohu felt that the other party was the one they could really make friends.
Three days later, Wang Shouren was going to the last stop of his trip according to his previous plan, which was the old port in the southeast corner of Jinzhou. Originally, Tang Bohu insisted on recapturing the old port to incorporate the old port into the jurisdiction of Malacca, but he was
After Ying and Qu Lie occupied the old port, they found that whether it was the Tamura Kingdom or the Wandan Kingdom, they were like local chickens and dogs in front of the Ming army. So they took advantage of the situation and destroyed the Wandan Kingdom and then occupied the gold.
The eastern part of the continent is connected with the Jinzhou area occupied by the former Malacca Kingdom. In this way, the area under the jurisdiction of the old port became too large. Therefore, Zhou Chong simply classified the Jinzhou area, which is mainly composed of the old port, as a government.
, and firmly controlled the Strait of Malacca, one in the south and one in the north.
When Wang Shouren left Malacca Port, Tang Bohu held another banquet to see him off. However, this time he was accompanied by officials at all levels in Malacca Port. This was the first time that Wang Shouren appeared in front of local officials publicly, but when those officials knew about it, they knew that they were in front of them.
When this middle-aged man was the new Censor, he was scared and sweated. After all, the Censor was the chief official who managed the administration, so to some extent, they could offend the Governor, and it would not be better if they did not.
Willing to offend the Censor.
After the farewell banquet, Wang Shouren took his dozen of his subordinates to leave Malacca and took a boat to the old port. Before he left, Tang Bohu asked him to bring a letter. This letter was for Tang Bohu's best friend.
It was also sent by Zhu Zhishan, one of the four talented men in Wuzhong.
Speaking of which, Zhu Zhishan's career was also very bumpy. He passed the imperial examination at the age of 33. He then took the imperial examination several times, but he returned in vain. Until now, he is in his fifties, but he still hasn't been able to take the exam.
Later, Tang Bohu recovered his fame and fortune, and with his own efforts and Zhou Chong's care, he became the prefect in one fell swoop. This made Zhu Zhishan happy for his old friend and sad for his bumpy career.
As Zhu Zhishan's close friend, Tang Bohu naturally knew that the other party was determined to become an official, and at least he had to benefit the people. So after thinking about it for a while, Tang Bohu finally wrote a letter to Zhu Zhishan, who failed the imperial examination again, and advised him to do everything with him.
All my energy is wasted on the hopeless imperial examination. It is better to become an official as an official now. After all, as Tang Bohu is now, it is very easy to arrange an official position for Zhu Zhishan.
Zhu Zhishan had just experienced his fifth test failure at this time. It has been twenty years since he passed the exam and added together, which made Zhu Zhishan extremely discouraged. So after receiving his friend Tang Bohu
After thinking about it for a few days, I finally made up my mind to give up the examination and go to the official position as a juren. Although this will affect his future promotion, for a man who is already in his fifties, he is left.
There is not much time left, so he now needs an opportunity to show his ambitions, rather than considering the future gains and losses in the officialdom.
It is precisely because of this that Zhu Zhishan quickly wrote a reply to Tang Bohu, and the letter agreed to Tang Bohu's suggestion. He hoped that he would arrange an official position for himself. This official position does not need to be too big, as long as he can do some practical things for the people. This is for Tang Bohu
It was not difficult to say that. I quickly arranged the position of chief clerk in a county under Malacca, and then sent it to the Governor's Office for reporting according to the official procedures.
Coincidentally, Zhou Chong accidentally saw the official document arranged by Tang Bohu for Zhu Zhishan. After asking Tang Bohu about the reason, he made him laugh and cry, because if he remembered correctly, Zhu Zhishan would be the sixth time.
He will pass the imperial examination next time and get the position of a county magistrate. However, at this last moment, Zhu Zhishan actually gave up the imperial examination under the persuasion of Tang Bohu. It was like God was making a joke to Zhu Zhishan.
.
Since it was because of the influence of his time travel that Zhu Zhishan finally gave up the opportunity to become a Jinshi, Zhou Chong finally decided to compensate Zhu Zhishan, so he appointed Zhu Zhishan as the magistrate of the county under the rule of the Old Hong Kong Government, and the old Hong Kong side.
Although the situation is a little worse than that of Malacca, it is a newly entrusted territory. Zhou Chong is constantly moving people there. It can be said that it is the time when officials show their skills. I just don’t know if Zhu Zhishan has this ability.
?
When Zhou Chong first asked about Zhuzhishan, Tang Bohu was still a little worried, but when Zhou Chong turned Zhuzhishan's official position from chief clerk to county magistrate, he was also ecstatic. He immediately reported the good news to Zhuzhishan, and Zhuzhishan was also happy.
He was dancing with all his hands. After all, even if he passed the Jinshi, he might be just a magistrate in the end. However, now that Governor Zhou made him a juren a magistrate, which was an exception.
It is precisely because of this that after receiving the news, Zhu Zhishan immediately rushed to the Sihai Governor's Office to report and expressed his gratitude to Zhou Chong. Then he hurried to the old port to work. The county he is governing now is called Gangnan.
As the name suggests, this county is located in the south of the old port, next to the old port. The natives in the county are dozens of times more than the Han people. However, the number of Han people in the county is continuing to increase. I believe that it will not take long before Gangnan County will be
It will become a county dominated by Han people.
Wang Shouren also visited Zhu Zhishan in Yangzhou before, and even asked the other party for calligraphy. So when he heard that Zhu Zhishan actually worked in the old port, he was very surprised. He immediately took the letter from Tang Bohu to Zhu Zhishan and put it in his arms.
Officials at all levels in Malacca waved goodbye.
Just as Wang Shouren's ship left Malacca, Zhu Zhishan was looking at a piece of information in his hand with a headache, because some natives in Gangnan County were dissatisfied with themselves because they were dissatisfied with them.
The land was distributed to the moved Han people by the government, so these natives were preparing to launch a riot, trying to drive the Han people out of their own land by force, but the stupid natives did not know their every move
They were all sold to the Ming Dynasty government by the traitors among the natives.
Speaking of the natives in Gangnan County, Zhu Zhishan was also angry and hated them. Originally, after he surrendered to the Ming Dynasty with the old port, and Shenying and Qulie stationed troops around the old port, the territory around the old port also belonged to the territory of the Ming Dynasty, such as Gangnan.
Because the county is very close to the old port and the land here is very rich, it was classified as a subordinate county of the old port by the first batch.
Originally, there were very few Han people in Gangnan County, and most of them were natives under their rule. However, these natives were lazy and stupid. They usually lie under the tree and sleep all day long. When they wake up, they would pick a few fruits from the tree to eat.
The old port is rich in resources, and even if you don’t work, you won’t starve to death. However, in this way, the taxes that Gangnan County can collect from natives will be very pitiful.
However, as Gangnan County was assigned to the territory of the Ming Dynasty, this situation quickly changed. Some immigrants from the Ming Dynasty began to move here, and the number of people increased. By the time Zhu Zhishan took office, the Han people in Gangnan County were in office.
The number has reached more than 10,000 people. Although it is still much smaller than the natives, it has already formed a certain scale and will continue to increase in the future.
The officials in Gangnan County saw that the natives were so lazy, so the natives rushed to the north side of Gangnan County and distributed the land on the south side to the migrated Han people. Anyway, there were not many natives here, just the county.
The land in the north was enough to support them, so this incident did not encounter too much resistance from the natives at the beginning.
But for the hardworking Han people, the fertile land here was simply given to them by God. They cut off the woods on the south side of the county and sold the wood, got the first money, and then reclaimed the land and started to plant crops such as rice.
This quickly turned the south of Gangnan County into a rich place. In contrast, the local people living in the north of the county town seemed very poor.
What people fear most is comparison. Even those stupid natives, seeing that the land where the Han people live in the south of the city is so rich, with rice and other domestic crops everywhere, and the Han people there can afford to wear clothes and live
They could drink fine wine even with tall houses, but the natives in the north of the city could only use a small piece of cloth to cover their lower bodies. Both men and women were shirtless and lived in low sheds. As for those fine wines, they were not only
Except for the few native nobles, others can only taste it in their dreams.
It is precisely in this comparison that the natives in Gangnan County have a psychological degeneration, and then they begin to have some psychological imbalance. After all, in their opinion, they are the owner of this land, and those Han people are just
The land moved from outside, and the south of the city was originally theirs, but now it is all occupied by the Han people. For them, the Han people are simply robbers. It is the arrival of these Han robbers that made them lose themselves
The best land.
It can be said that all these natives chose to forget one thing: the south of the city and the north of the city were originally the same land, and the number of Han people was much smaller than that of them. It was only because of the hard work of the Han people that the south of the city became richer.
Beautiful. But for the natives, these principles are simply improper words, and even everything is just an excuse for the Han people, so they began to unite and prepare to use force to regain their land that should belong to them, and kill all the Han people and rob them.
