Three hundred and ninety-two three years (Part 2)

This is simply the ideal life in my dream. However, for Xiao Ruxun, he still feels that the population is rising too slowly. After all, he is overseas. In addition to the residents of coastal provinces, mainland residents generally lack the idea and willingness to immigrate to other places. Not to mention anything else, in Guangxi, Yunnan, Sichuan and other places, less than 10,000 immigrants from these three provinces in recent years.

Myanmar can support more than one million people? In recent years, Myanmar has only developed less than 20% of them, and there is still a lot of potential to be explored!

Of course, the officials and men would not care about these things. Even if they knew, they would not help Xiao Ruxun. Anyway, they just regarded this place as a garbage disposal station and always threw some garbage that they seemed useless to Myanmar Town.

But Xiao Ruxun had long planned Myanmar, including the commercial area in the south, the agricultural area in the central area and the military management area in the northern mountain area.

The southern coastal areas are mainly responsible for commerce, and several urban agglomerations centered on Yangon are mainly responsible for commercial trade. Since the first year, a large number of Western ships and Southeast Asian merchant ships come here to do business every year. Starting this year, some merchants from the Ming Dynasty have also come here to do business through Siam.

The vast agricultural areas in the central region are mainly responsible for agricultural production. The urban agglomeration community centered on Bogu City has gathered the largest population and the largest production areas, and is rich in grain crops such as rice and corn. The extremely high yield and the basic rule of ripening three times a year have made grain rich. Xiao Ruxun has contacted several small countries that are short of grain and started a grain export business.

As for the northern mountainous areas, they are military-controlled areas that cannot be reached by civilians, and they completely belong to Xiao Ruxun’s own military management areas. In this area, there is a secret that Xiao Ruxun has been hiding for a long time.

Artillery production workshops, musket production workshops, other ordnance production areas, potato planting areas, tea planting areas, mining areas, etc. This vast and rarely visited mountainous area is widely regarded as a place of death, but within the place of death, Xiao Ruxun has spent one million taels of silver to establish a very complete production system.

Basically, the army and the prisoners of war captured before were responsible. 50,000 prisoners of war and 5,000 troops were responsible for the place. The prisoners of war were mainly responsible for mining. After the iron ore and copper mine was mined, they were directly transported to the ordnance workshop to refine and processed into raw materials for ordnance production, without much transportation cost.

Xiao Ruxun lived here from the mainland of the Ming Dynasty, Southeast Asian countries and the skilled craftsmen recruited from the West, and provided a large amount of high-quality weapons to Xiao Ruxun's army every day.

The cultivation of potatoes belongs to the military camp. The troops stationed here obtain a large amount of food sources by planting potatoes in winter. The wealthy ones are sent to the agricultural areas in the central region and transported to the commercial areas in the south. The tea is handed over to tea farmers plundered from all over the country. Through field testing and experimental planting, Xiao Ruxun circled a large piece of mountain land here as a tea planting area to produce high-quality tea, and traded with Western merchants who came to Yangon to do business, earning a large amount of real money.

The most attractive thing to the Ming Dynasty was silk tea and porcelain. In the past, they needed to detour through Malacca to reach the Ming Dynasty. However, now, Myanmar has become the territory of the Ming Dynasty, directly connecting to the Indian Ocean region, and buying Chinese goods without detours spread throughout the circle of Western maritime merchants in a very short time.

Therefore, starting from the second half of the 23rd year of Wanli, merchant ships from Western countries such as Spain, France, Britain and the Netherlands came to Yangon Port.

Here they bought tea, silk and simple porcelain, which were cheaper than mainland China, as well as many local specialties from Southeast Asian countries. In the factor of distance, they regarded it as the end of the commercial operation, hoping to buy enough goods here.

After learning that Western merchants used Yangon Port as their terminal, they flocked to Yangon Port and brought their goods to Yangon Port to do business with Western merchants here.

Under the witness of the Ming Dynasty, they paid taxes and then traded. The Ming army would be responsible for protecting their safety, and the Ming officials would be responsible for protecting their rights and interests. Any deception would not be dominated by the land. The Marquis allowed him to maintain the extremely fast pace of life in Yangon Port with extremely high efficiency.

It is impossible for all those responsible for these matters to be soldiers. Xiao Ruxun also has his own civil service system, but it has to be said that 90% of them were not scholars from the Ming Dynasty, but contributed by the Siamese people and a few small Southeast Asian countries. The Siamese king appointed a large number of Chinese as officials. Most of these officials left Siam and went to Myanmar town to serve Zhennanhou. There were few Chinese officials in other small Southeast Asian countries, but there were not none. They thought of their motherland, so they resolutely left here and chose to serve Xiaohou.

These talents who have no fame and fortune but have practical experience in politics make Xiao Ruxun smile and tilted his mouth. It has to be said that these people have lost many times the actual ability of those nerds. Those scholars who have lost their minds must first observe politics before going out to become officials, and then release them. When they release, they also send them the way to become officials written by Emperor Taizu to avoid those county officials who are released from the local tyrants and be fooled by local snakes.

Some nerds are fooled, but they are no longer useful by Taizu's will. Some nerds are passionate about changing the current situation of poverty in the local area. However, they often do not care about reality and make the Ming-style leap forward, making the local area mess. Then, the nerds pat their butts and leave, discarding the confused farmers, and crying when they look at the messy land.

Even if you give this kind of person to Xiao Ruxun, Xiao Ruxun, dare not use it.

Thanks to their failure to come, Xiao Ruxun was fortunate to obtain a group of loyal and practical talents, and accumulated the experience of political herdsmen in various countries. He had no fame and honor and was not accepted by the Ming Dynasty, but was accepted by Xiao Ruxun. From then on, they were branded as Zhennan Hou and could never be eliminated.

Of course, they naturally don’t want to eliminate it. It is definitely better to be officials of the Ming Dynasty than to be officials of those small countries.

They are dedicated, very hardworking and willing to work hard, and cherish their current status very much. They dare not follow any of the bans proposed by Xiao Ruxun. Those in charge of business dare not communicate with merchants, and those in charge of agriculture dare not not stay in the fields to accompany farmers in research. As for those in charge of the northern commercial district, they are all trusted officials who are absolutely trusted, and Xiao Ruxun is absolutely relieved.
