The well-known degenerate literati Lu Shuren once said that happy people are roughly similar, while miserable people are different.

When Thomas Jefferson, the third-generation leader of the Fool Eagle, was secretly saddened for Louisiana's belonging, the Mandarin Temple in the Forbidden City turned into a sea of ​​joy.

According to the conversion rules of one acre of about six acres of land, one tael of silver equals ten yuan, the Ming Longyuan is about ten yuan, which is about ten yuan to buy six acres of land. In addition, Zhu Jinsong and Louis XVI deliberately ignore it when buying and selling.

If you lose the actual area of ​​Louisiana, you can simply trade according to the area of ​​the Fujian governor, so rounding it is basically like picking it up for nothing.

Zhu Jinsong smiled and said to Zeng Cheng and other bigwigs: "I didn't expect that Jefferson would actually use Jianyi as a matter, otherwise I would have planned to give him some face. Now,

This dog can't even lose face."

Zhu Erdan said hummingly: "He lost face, but our Ming Dynasty also lost many generals and lords today. I don't know how many opportunities to make military achievements are missing. I'm afraid my brother will be blamed."

Zhu Jinsong glared at Zhu Erdan and scolded: "As the saying goes, a general succeeds and thousands of bones are destroyed. Aren't the military achievements of those generals and lords all used by the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty? If you can take Louisiana without a war, you can take Louisiana.

It’s a good thing to get it. If you don’t have much sacrifice in vain, you can make a lot of money by rounding it up.”

After scolding Zhu Erdan, Zhu Jinsong turned his head and said to Zeng Cheng and other bigwigs: "Although Jefferson's silly admits his conscience now, Louisiana is too close to the silly thief eagle, and the area is equivalent to that of

We still need to be prepared for the two Wusizangs."

Zeng Cheng nodded, wanted to say something but forced himself back, and finally he just bowed his hands and replied, "Yes, I know."

Zhu Jinsong looked at Zeng Cheng first glanced at Zhu Erdan and then looked at himself, then looked like he wanted to speak but stopped. Then he smiled and said to Zeng Cheng: "The situation in Louisiana is like that in New Qinzhou after all.

If you are different from the side, Mr. Zeng might as well say something."

After hesitating, Zeng Cheng bowed honestly and said, "If Your Majesty did not turn the table with Jefferson, I would have nothing to worry about. After all, our Ming Dynasty has great reputation and strong strength. Even if the foolish thief is

I could only endure the dissatisfaction in my heart, but His Majesty had already overturned the table with Jefferson. Now Jefferson lost all his face. I am worried that he would take risks for this and send troops to fight for Louisiana."

After Zeng Cheng finished speaking, Liu Huaiwen couldn't help but frown: "If there are too many people to be moved at once, it will probably affect the construction of railways and highways. It is not just a problem of the national treasury having money or not, but mainly labor.

The problem of insufficient is that we cannot leave everything to the laborers.”

As Zhu Jinsong said before, Louisiana is as big as two Uszang, but it is too close to the silly thief eagle and placed on the side of Europe. Just one Louisiana is enough to match several small countries.

If you want to defend such a large territory and suppress the little thoughts of the foolish thief, you must ensure that the Ming Dynasty had enough troops in Louisiana and at the same time, you had to migrate enough people to pass by.

However, the Ming Dynasty itself is still in a state of vast land and sparsely populated population. If millions or even tens of millions of people are migrated to Louisiana, the number of Dingkou in the Ming Dynasty will be even thinner.

Even if the Ming Dynasty court has been calling on the people to work hard to have children, the population will sooner or later increase. However, this time, the population that does not wait for people will definitely affect the development speed of the Ming Dynasty!

Therefore, Zeng Cheng was not willing to allocate too many soldiers and people to Zhu Erdan, so as not to affect the development of the Ming Dynasty itself.

But now that's it, there is not enough army and people, so what can Zhu Erdan use to suppress the ambition of the foolish thief eagle?

If the ambition of the foolish thief cannot be suppressed, then can Louisiana have a safe day?

After all, the problem is that the number of Dingkou in the Ming Dynasty was insufficient. Otherwise, they would directly migrate 100 million people to Louisiana, and then recruit hundreds of thousands of troops from these 100 million people, and several foolish thieves were all

Have to kneel!

However, after listening to the problems that Zeng Cheng and Liu Huaiwen and other bigwigs were worried about, Zhu Jinsong couldn't help laughing.

Whether it is the problem that Zeng Cheng is worried about or Liu Huaiwen is worried about, the premise is based on the fact that the Ming Dynasty could not suppress the foolish thief eagle without relocating enough people.

However, Zeng Cheng and Liu Huaiwen ignored the most fundamental core factor of the problem. Does the foolish thief have the courage to take risks?

Zhu Jinsong smiled and said, "I have told you before that the initial members of the country of Silly Thieves Eagle were robbers, liars, thieves, priests, and handicraftsmen who were exiled to Yin Di'an by some countries in England and Europa.

From the beginning of the founding of the country, it has injected bloodlines of excessive greed, aggressiveness, bullying the weak and fearing the strong."

"If I don't turn the table with Jefferson today, I'm afraid he will think that I'm a good talker and may really covet Louisiana. But after I turned the table with Jefferson, the silly thief has lost this.

courage."

After Zhu Jinsong said this, Zeng Cheng and Liu Huaiwen and other bigwigs were filled with unbelievable words on their faces. One of the five great charitable people who were so damn bad. How could their essence be so irritable?

Just when Zeng Cheng and Liu Huaiwen and other bigwigs doubted their lives, Zhu Jinsong continued: "Of course, just turning over the table with Jefferson, I'm afraid that it will not completely shock the foolish thief eagle."

"So, I plan to first move 100,000 troops, and then draw some warships from the four naval fleets to form the fifth fleet, station directly in Louisiana, and then slowly move the people."

"However, the movements in the previous few times could be greater. Each time they moved at a scale of 100,000 people. After many times, the silly thief eagle will completely lose its courage to covet Louisiana."

Zeng Cheng, Liu Huaiwen and other bigwigs were still a little worried.

A hundred thousand army sounds like a lot, but it is impossible to rely on a hundred thousand army to fight the entire foolish thief eagle, even if the 100 thousand army can fight, it will not work.

After all, the silly thief eagle can be regarded as a strong country and has the advantage of local warfare. However, the 100,000 army of the Ming Dynasty requires the navy to transport supplies and supplies to ensure the combat effectiveness of cross-sea combat. If the silly thief eagle really forces it to take risks.

I'm afraid that relying solely on the human sea tactics is enough for Zhu Erdan to drink a pot of it.

Thinking of this, Zeng Cheng said tentatively: "Your Majesty, I think it is a little bit deficient to rely on force to shock the foolish thief eagle. Why not tempt it to benefit and force it to power?"

Zhu Jinsong said oh, looked at Zeng Cheng and said, "Why might Zeng Qing say it in detail?"

Zeng Cheng bowed and replied: "The so-called forced power is what I said before, so that Jefferson would like to see the national strength and force of our Ming Dynasty, so that he would be afraid and dare not act rashly."

"The so-called luring them for profit means picking a few valuable projects and throwing them to the silly thief eagles, so that they can make some money and tie them to our Ming Dynasty chariot."

"It is best to recruit some young and strong people from the silly thief to work directly. Whether they are asked to come to our Ming Dynasty or where to work, it is equivalent to removing the foundation of the silly thief. Even if the silly thief has

I’m afraid I have to think about what I shouldn’t have?”

When Zhu Jinsong heard Zeng Cheng say this, he suddenly felt aroused in his heart and thought of a famous noun.

Sell ​​piglets.

This matter starts with the Qing Dynasty being beaten up by England.

What kind of bird look like in the Qing Dynasty is naturally not to be said. The fact that the Qing Dynasty was stationed in Wusizang by Nipole is enough to show how much the Qing Dynasty lost its chain. After the First Fushou Paste War, it was a small ball.

The great powers blatantly plundered workers from the Qing Dynasty, forced themselves to sign contracts for selling themselves and admitted to voluntarily going abroad, and then went to Southeast Asia, America and other places to resell.

When boarding the ship, these plundered workers were forced to take off their shirts like piglets, and their chests were marked with English letters to indicate where they were sent. Heshan area in Guangdong is also called "selling pigs" in Heshan, Guangdong.

young".

Bauhinia was a transit station for the sinful piglet trafficking at that time. In the three years from 1845 to 1874, the number of Chinese workers sold from Bauhinia was as large as 260,000.

As a port exported by Huagong, Bauhinia is not only a direct profit from it, but also a base for coolie trade. It can also make indirect benefits from installing and repairing ships, supplying grain and water.

For example, the transport ship rebuilt mezzanine to carry more laborers, and installs iron bars to prevent Huagong from escaping. These are all modified by Bauhinia, hotels and grain stores of Bauhinia, which have all won a lot from the coolie trade.

Profit and population trade also stimulated the deformed prosperity of the early stages of Bauhinia.

Some of the ancestors who thought they were noble actually acted as colonists and compradors, and it was the first pot of gold accumulated through these blood and tears.

By the mid-19th century, gold mines were discovered in San Francisco, but the labor force was extremely scarce. Soon after, kangaroos in the South Pacific also discovered gold mines, so a gold rush, and the fever of going abroad to work was incited by colonial merchants.

stand up.

At that time, the revelation of recruiting Chinese workers could be seen everywhere in the southeast coastal areas. The conditions for the revelation were written very well, as if you could get a gold mountain by just revealing a revelation. The Bauhinia Pier, which is the transfer station of Huagong, was packed with clothes.

The ragged Chinese worker.

Most of the Chinese workers during this period came from bankrupt civilians, unemployed civilians or fishermen in remote areas, and were deceived or trafficked by intermediary companies such as recruitment centers, and thus stayed in a foreign country.

They will receive the first prepaid salary, but this prepaid salary requires deduction of an introduction fee, transportation fee and commission in advance, and then go overseas. Anyway, they are looking for various reasonable or unreasonable reasons to squeeze the prepaid salary.

In essence, it is no different from selling piglets.

This group of Chinese workers also do the hardest work, but they don’t make much money, and many people don’t even have the chance to return to their hometown.

For example, piglet workers make a contract to work for one year, but the price is between ten yuan, fifteen yuan, and thirty yuan.

These honest and poor Chinese workers, with the dream of getting rich, squeezed into the dirty and narrow cabin. They "sit side by side at the day, and sleep with their feet at night."

Under very harsh conditions, sometimes it takes several months to drive. The captain and foreign crew are equipped with weapons. If the Chinese workers are slightly dissatisfied, they will be beaten and shot. In addition, the ventilation conditions and sanitation facilities in the cabin are extremely poor, so many people

They were buried in the deep sea before they arrived at their destination. Sometimes the mortality rate of Chinese workers on the way was as high as more than 50%.

Even when you arrive at your destination, you will still work like a slave, and you will often fail to eat. You will die in a foreign land if you are poor and sick.

By the way, it is the famous 72 martyrs of Huanghuagang, twenty-nine of them are Chinese workers from Nanyang.

So Zhu Jinsong planned to do what the barbarians did, and I, Mr. Zhu, naturally, did it too. They could recruit the people from Zhongyuan Hall to sell piglets, and I, the Ming Dynasty, could recruit the young and strong people from Europa to sell piglets.

After thinking about it, Zhu Jinsong simply told Zeng Cheng and other bigwigs about the things he made about buying and selling piglets, and then asked Zeng Qing and other bigwigs to come up with a more complete solution.

Zeng Cheng and other bigwigs did not let down Zhu Jinsong's trust and directly proposed a package of plans.

For example, first recruiting a group of workers in Europa through Pierre, Howard and others, then allowing these workers to make some money and then return to Europa. This process is called the pit digging stage, which mainly promotes the benefits of working in the Ming Dynasty.

, to attract more workers.

The second stage is the closing stage.

During this stage, the Ming Dynasty arranged for the spies from Jinyiwei and Dongchang in Europa and Shaziying to support a group of "foreign compradors", and then asked these compradors to specialize in the business of buying and selling piglets.

Then there is a third stage, which is the whitewashing stage.

As for the Ming Dynasty, after all, it is a beacon for small ball-breaking. The hope of mankind naturally cannot let things like buying and selling piglets to discredit the image of the Ming Dynasty.

Therefore, at this stage, the Ming Dynasty will increase the treatment of workers, assuming that those workers can still survive to this stage, and at the same time they will work hard to crack down on illegal labor recruitment, assuming that the foreign compradors of Europa and the silly thief can be knocked out.

After this process is completed, the railway and highway networks that the Ming Dynasty needs to build have basically been built. Even if there are still some that have not finished, it doesn’t matter, because the population of the Ming Dynasty should also increase.

In other words, the Ming Dynasty no longer needed these laborers.

As for what labor hard-earned money...

Does this matter have anything to do with the Ming Dynasty? Anyway, the Ming Dynasty did not make any profit from a bit of black money, and it was all made by the foreign compradors. If you have the ability, go to find the foreign compradors!
