New Ming Empire mixed in America

Chapter 122 Long Live Lord Goes to the Countryside

Correcting typos...

Now the people of the Xinming Empire got their start-up capital from Li Mingqi's Royal Bank, and they only need to pay it back within three years.

This model is the result of Liu Youcai's hard persuasion, otherwise Li Mingqi would have to bear the burden of everyone's food, clothing, housing and transportation.

The original plan was to divide the house and land, and eat and drink for free. When Liu Youcai found out, he almost hanged himself at the door of the container study room, so Li Mingqi modified the plan and changed it to a loan.

Riding a horse and protected by Jin Yiwei, Li Mingqi ran wildly along the path in the wilderness.

Now in San Francisco, asphalt roads have not been implemented in every village because the white companies undertaking road construction are a bit small.

But Li Mingqi has already begun large-scale bidding through Barton, and it will not be long before a road construction company comes to visit.

After continuing for a while, I saw an obviously newly built farm on the side of the road.

Looking at the large circle of rough wooden fences, Li Mingqi felt angry. These unscrupulous people would rather cut down the trees themselves than buy ready-made ones.

Even though Li Mingqi's lumber factory has been sold off at a huge loss, there are still convenient and quick wooden house materials.

Looking at the small courtyard built with red bricks in the ranch from a distance, Li Mingqi felt an unreal feeling.

What is the reason for China's tradition that the low value of grain hurts the people and the high value of grain hurts the people?

Isn’t it because farmers have too little land?

If every household had the current size of the people of the Xinming Empire, no matter how cheap the food was, the advantage of quantity would not cause farmers to lose money.

The farmers in the past were so simple. As long as they could not starve to death, how could anyone jump out and rebel?

Even if a few ambitious people pop up, they will end up being wiped out by the government officials.

Therefore, as an emperor, you must sit on the side of the common people. No matter how powerful the capitalists are in the future, as long as the emperor sits with the common people, he will never end up like Louis XVI.

What's more, in the future, Li Mingqi decided to rely on Jin Yiwei to set up a tax bureau to restrict capitalists.

Seeing Li Mingqi coming with a group of guards in uniforms, several middle-aged men who were building a ranch fence quickly dropped their tools and knelt down in the direction of Li Mingqi.

Seeing this scene, Li Mingqi quickly jumped off his horse and walked over to help him, saying: "Please get up quickly, we sons of the Han family are not in favor of this kind of kneeling ceremony."

The middle-aged man choked and said: "Long live Lord, we all have a low life. We can only survive because of Long live Lord's mercy. We should kowtow to Long live Lord."

The man next to him also said: "Yes, now these four miles and eight villages... these forty miles... this..."

"Oh, long live the Lord, don't think we are stupid. Anyway, the people around here have discussed it and are preparing to erect an immortal tablet for you."

Li Mingqi was very moved at first, but when he heard that a memorial tablet was to be set up for him, a living person, he had a dark look on his face.

"Leaving aside the matter of this longevity tablet, has your ancestral hall been built?"

When Li Mingqi mentioned the ancestral hall, the men nodded and said, "The ancestral hall is a top priority. It has been built before the house is built."

The ancestral hall Li Mingqi mentioned was not the kind of ancestral hall belonging to a single large family.

Now the people of the empire have all become big landowners and live relatively far away, so dozens of families built an ancestral hall together. The Xinming Empire provided half of the money, and each family raised the rest by themselves.

The ancestral halls they built were similar to the cemeteries of later generations. They chose a place with good feng shui to build the ancestral hall, and the rest of the place became the cemetery of each family.

Li Mingqi is now resolutely fighting against the phenomenon that future generations cannot afford to buy a house even after they die.

However, each family can use part of the money to maintain the operation of the cemetery. In the future, a specialized company will be responsible for repair and maintenance.

And now Li Mingqi has not implemented a gun ban, because the place is so big that farmers must be given some means of self-protection.

After patiently chatting with these imperial people for a while, Li Mingqi revealed his purpose of coming here.

"Now that you have houses and buildings here, isn't it time to get a wife?"

Hearing that Long Live Lord personally urged the marriage, several men blushed, and one of them said: "Long Live Lord, I am already married, but my family members are all in the process of... pretending to be married."

Li Mingqi patted his head and said, "Look at my memory. Well, don't you have a way to send money home?"

"Hurry up and write a letter to tell your family about your current situation so that your family can be prepared. A special fleet will be organized to pick you up after a while."

It wasn't Li Mingqixian's pain in the balls who came out to urge the marriage.

Well, he is really a little free. Recently, the volunteers have all gone to San Jose to repair because they have lost their supplies.

Apart from waiting for immigrants from Peru, the current Xinming Empire has no major issues that require Li Mingqi's personal intervention.

And because there was no suitable fishing spot nearby, Li Mingqi also lost an activity to pass his time.

I can only go out and wander around for a while to use the excuse of urging the marriage.

At the same time, a location was selected to build a specialized breeding factory to supply the canned food needed by the Imperial Defense Force.

As for cans sold to California...

After the cannery makes cans for the Wehrmacht soldiers, there will definitely be some leftovers.

It would be a waste if these things were thrown away directly. Wouldn't it be a new can if they were directly sent to a meat grinder to mince the meat and then added with starch and other ingredients?

What, you said the color is not fresh?

Learn about edible Sudan red pigment!

So breeding is the key now, but after hearing that His Majesty Li Mingqi wanted them to engage in breeding, several people of the Xinming Empire... No, in Li Mingqi's eyes, they have now degenerated into unruly people.

These unscrupulous people shook their heads one by one, saying that a wealthy family with only a few hairs does not count.

If these people were asked to raise cattle, they would definitely be willing to just raise pigs on a large scale.

Now I heard that there are herds of bison in Yingtianfu, and the price of meat is not as high as the price of vegetables now. Don’t you have to wait for the death of raising pigs?

Long live my life, I'm good at everything, but I'm afraid I just have this brain...

Looking at Li Mingqi's head with regret, several unscrupulous people said:

"Long live Lord, there are so many bison in Yingtianfu now, the cannery can definitely use those bison. I heard that the bison can't plow fields or pull carts, and they have a very bad temper. It's useless to keep them if they don't eat meat.

no."

Listening to these unscrupulous people exposing his scars, Li Mingqi's face turned ugly.

When he was in Yingtian Mansion, he thought he would no longer have to worry about farming cattle, but reality gave him a heavy slap in the face.

Those North American bison are difficult to control even if they wear nose rings, let alone be used to plow fields and pull carts.

Li Mingqi specially asked Jin Yiwei to guard the bison. Later, after he injured several imperial subjects who had the same idea as Li Mingqi, this kind of North American bison became a common food on the people's tables.

After being made angry by some unruly people, Li Mingqi returned to the city of San Francisco with his royal guards.

In the current urban area of ​​San Francisco, except for some business-minded Empire citizens, no one else lives here.

After the land was divided, everyone went to work on their own land. Even the people in Fortress Town were pitiful.

If Liu Youcai hadn't said that this place would soon be prosperous once there were more people in the empire, Li Mingqi would have thought about demolishing all the buildings here.
