Nanming: I can build wonders

Chapter 36 The Hope of Spring Plowing
"System, give me one ton of sweet potato seeds, one ton of potato seeds!" Zheng Kezang said boldly with one hand on his hip and the other raised his fist.

【.】The system was silent for a while.

[Host, have you never planted land? 】

"Ah, this." Zheng Kezang remembered that planting sweet potatoes and planting potatoes does not require seeds, just cut them into pieces and they will germinate!
Zheng Kezang was so ashamed that he forgot his common sense and made a joke of the system.

Fortunately, no one knows!

"System, book ten mu of sweet potato seedlings and ten mu of potato seedlings for me. Don't send them here, and deliver them to me when the spring is planted." Zheng Kezang calculated that ten mu of land is enough.

Here in Dongning, two to three crops can be harvested a year. Plant [-] mu of land in spring to test the water. If the yield is good, we can expand the planting area with studs in summer.

[Host, please pay: forty brilliant points]

"Why is it so expensive!" Zheng Kezang broke down a little, and he didn't have enough points to warm up, and his heart ached.

[The variety of sweet potato seedlings is Guangshu 421, and the variety of potato seedlings is Zhongshu No. 5]

Yep, it sounds like a good breed, and you won't lose [-] points.

There are 65 points left, let's save them first, in case there are any emergencies that need to be used.

Europa Universalis is also called Points, and points should be used sparingly.

"Shen Cheng, Mao Xing, prepare your horse, come with me to find the chief envoy." Picking up the guano map of the South China Sea given by the system, Zheng Kezang went to seek help from his father-in-law.

"Qinshe, is bird droppings really that useful?" Chen Yonghua was a little unconvinced.

"Father-in-law, this guano is not that guano. The guano I am talking about is of course not freshly baked, but the guano mine formed by the long-term accumulation and evolution of guano. We will know when we dig a few boats. "

Immediately, Zheng Kezang took out the distribution map of guano, which even marked the route, which is simply amazing.

Chen Yonghua took a look and thought, well, it's another fairy creation, we can't afford to mess with it, so do what you say.

"Moreover, guano can also be used to make gunpowder." Because the phosphorus and nitrogen content are very high, the main achievements of gunpowder are phosphorus and nitrogen.

Being able to fertilize and make gunpowder is a treasure, and it must be transported quickly. The food crisis in Mingzheng is a pain in Chen Yonghua's heart.

"Qinshe, we don't have anything else. There are a lot of boats. We will arrange a fleet for you these few days." Chen Yonghua said relaxedly.

"Okay, this fleet will be specially used to transport guano in the future, and I will manage it. It will be called Dongning Guano Brigade."

Zheng Kezang, the captain's job title, had already thought about it, and it was called Dongning Zhuan Shi.

The name is ugly, but the responsibility is heavy. Zheng Kezang dare not think about how many people will be fed by adding bird droppings and sweet potatoes.

"By the way, father-in-law, is there any way to sell Tibetan fairy wine and perfume to the Tartars, earn their money, and make our guns." Zheng Kezang wanted to open up the Qing market to make money, so it's not shabby .

"It's very difficult to achieve. We will definitely not be able to sell Fujian, Guangdong, Jiangsu, Zhejiang and other places. The Tartars' relocation and forbidden sea are too extreme." Chen Yonghua sighed.

The so-called relocation of borders and forbidden seas means that the Qing Dynasty forced the people along the coast to move thirty miles inland, so that Ming Zheng could not obtain supplies from the inland.

Moreover, moving to the sea has been destroying the coastal people in an extremely brutal way from the beginning to the end, which is really a appalling atrocity.

After the Tartars established the so-called "border" firmly, they used extremely brutal means to drive the people outside the border into the interior.

The migration time was set very short, usually three days, and officers and soldiers were sent to drive them away after the time limit.

In order to cut off the worries of the immigrants, all the houses outside the boundary were burned down.

After the residents were driven into the boundary, anyone who dared to leave the boundary was killed without release.

Take the situation in Fujian Province as an example:
In Funing Prefecture, "The state is bounded by the main road, and the south road is bounded by Zhouqianling. Songshan, Hougang, Chi'an, and Shiba near the city are also outside the boundary. Cattle and horses are not allowed to enter and exit with wooden fences beside the road. A sign is hung at each place , Said: Those who dare to go out of the boundary will be cut off!" "If you cross the boundary a few steps, you will be the head of the owl."

In Putian County, "Shufuhai residents moved to live within [-] miles from the city, and built an earthen wall as a boundary [-] miles away. Inch boards were not allowed to enter the sea, and they were not allowed to wander outside the boundary. If they went out of the boundary, they would be killed in violation of the order. Armed soldiers patrolled the boundary from time to time. Sometimes they cross the border, and if they encounter patrolling soldiers, they will be beheaded immediately."

Zhang An, the chief executive of Huangshi Thousands in this county, "every time he went out to patrol the border, he only carried a knife, and he would kill everyone. For more than ten years, he had killed thousands of people."

It is conceivable that the people along the border of Fujian were in such a situation as if they were facing an abyss and walking on thin ice.

The Qing Dynasty wanted to use this trick to seal Ming Zheng to death, but in fact, from another perspective, this is also beneficial to Ming Zheng.

Yu Yonghe, a scholar of the later Qing Dynasty, recorded in "Bohai Jiyou·Pseudo-Zheng Remains":
Our dynasty strictly forbids access to the ocean, and the pieces are not allowed to enter the sea, but the merchants monopolize, bribe the officers and soldiers who guard the mouth, sneak through the Zheng family, so as to reach Xiamen, and then sell them all over the country. Overseas people all rely on the Zheng family for all kinds of goods in China, so the benefits of access to the ocean , but the Zheng family is alone, and the money is used to benefit Rao.Under the decree of relocating borders, the coastal residents of Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Fujian, and Guangdong moved inward for forty miles, built a border wall as a boundary, and built a solid wall to clear the wilderness. , then sit in self-destruction, the so-called subdue the enemy's soldiers without fighting, is certainly not without seeing.I don't know that the stricter the ban on the sea, the more beneficial it is, although the wise can't know it.

According to this record, the maritime embargo and border relocation not only did not cause the Mingzheng Group's plight, but instead helped the Mingzheng Group to monopolize overseas trade and promoted the trade development of the Mingzheng Group.

"Qinshe, instead of trying to sell it to the Tartars, it is better to sell it to Dongying and Korea." Chen Yonghua suggested.

Zheng Kezang slapped his head, thinking: I almost forgot, this is the East Asian monster house, Korea and Little Dongying, and their aristocratic class has accumulated rich wealth, and there is a big market.

It can even be smuggled into the Qing Dynasty by land in Koryo.

"However, do you have enough supplies over there?" Chen Yonghua didn't know the details of Zheng Kezang either.

"It's enough, it's not enough, I fooled the British." Zheng Kezang sold less than half of his total output to the British.

"That's right, if you still have a lot left, then it's safe. I will arrange the fleet at that time, but how to distribute the money, the household department will still use internal funds."

"How about this father-in-law, [-]% of the money will be transferred to the household department, and the remaining [-]% will be sent to my internal money. I have a lot of places to use the money."

You can't eat alone, Zheng Kezang has a big picture, so let's help the Ministry of Households.

"That's great. Will the price be set according to the price you sold to the British?" Chen Yonghua asked about the details.

"These two places are as expensive as they can be sold, especially perfume and sugar cane wine." Zheng Kezang has no good impression of these two countries, so he has to make a fortune.

"Then let's just say that, I'll arrange to get this done tomorrow."

Seeing that everything was done, Zheng Kezang was also ready to go home.

"Qinshe, wait a minute. Your mother-in-law made fried noodles for concubine. You can take them home. Concubine likes fried rice the most." Before parting, Chen Yonghua instructed.

Chen Yonghua is a native of Zhangzhou, Fujian, and fried noodles are a traditional snack in Zhangzhou.

"Yeah, I thank you on behalf of Concubine!"
