New Ming Empire mixed in America

Li Mingqi had no time to care about the dirty things between Dai Ying and Peru, because now there was a more troublesome thing in front of him.

That is, something happened in New Mexico that he did not want to see happen.

That is, the local residents were incited to fight against the National Defense Forces.

Now the transport team is also in crisis, and the rotating machine gun alone can no longer scare the passionate mob.

These people dug holes on the road, dug traps, buried gunpowder barrels, etc., which gradually caused logistical problems.

Even the telegraph line has been cut countless times, causing Li Mingqi's connection with the front line to be broken.

Li Mingqi didn't have any good solution for this kind of thing, unless he had to repair the barbed wire fence along the way.

But this would require a lot of manpower and material resources.

"Long live Lord, I think you are too merciful to those mobsters in New Mexico. They not only attacked our transportation team, but also attacked our sentries."

"A few days ago, poison was poisoned in the creek where the soldiers drew water. If it hadn't been because the water flow was too strong to wash away the poison, the soldiers would already have problems now."

"And now those people have learned to throw dead bodies into the river. They are trying to kill the lives of our empire's soldiers!"

Liu Youcai started crying loudly as soon as he entered Li Mingqi's study.

He didn't know why Long Live Lord could tolerate those rioters until now. If it were him, he would definitely fight his way out.

Li Mingqi also had a headache. It’s not that he didn’t want to do it, but in reality, he wasn’t allowed to do it. (I closed the book after I wrote it...)

In addition, he does not want his soldiers to develop the habit of attacking civilians. This kind of thing will happen once and for all. Once you get used to it, military discipline and law will become a decoration.

However, such a long time also made Li Mingqi think of a solution, that is, the people of our Xinming Empire can't take action, but that doesn't mean that the white people can't take action.

White people beat white people, let me see who can say what.

"Bring a message to Davis, tell him that New Mexico is already the territory of the Xinming Empire, and I don't want uncontrolled non-empire subjects to continue to exist."

"In order to protect the safety of the empire and the integrity of its territory, a reward order is now issued: for every scalp of a non-empire subject in New Mexico returned, the Royal Bank will offer five aluminum crown coins!"

Don't think that five aluminum crown coins are missing. After a period of trade with various countries, the aluminum crown coins have now adjusted themselves to the point where one aluminum crown coin can be exchanged for three pounds.

The exchange rate between the British pound and the U.S. dollar has increased from 4.9 U.S. dollars per pound to 7 U.S. dollars per pound due to the start of the Civil War in the United States.

This is because the U.S. dollars of the Northern Confederacy are supported by grain and the national debt issued by Lin. If converted to U.S. dollars of the Southern Confederacy, it would take 8 U.S. dollars to convert into 1 pound.

So 5 Crown Coins can be exchanged for 105 Northern Federal Dollars.

After issuing this reward, Li Mingqi suddenly felt a lot more comfortable.

After getting a satisfactory reply, Liu Youcai was about to leave when he was stopped by Li Mingqi and asked: "How is the immigration matter?"

Liu Youcai said without thinking: "Now the Chinese people who were sold from the Puppet Qing Dynasty in South America have been accepted, but the immigrants from the Puppet Qing Dynasty are a little slow because they are too far away."

"The current number of people in the empire has exceeded 100,000, but the rate of immigration will be much slower in the future."

After Liu Youcai finished speaking, Li Mingqi fell into silence.

Adding together the Chinese on the entire American continent and the immigration in the past two years, the number is one hundred thousand.

Today there are no scattered Chinese in the Americas.

If you want more immigrants, you must find an eastern seaport, and then bring back those Chinese in places such as Cuba. This will allow the number of the empire's subjects to skyrocket in a short period of time.

If they just relied on immigration from the Puppet Qing Dynasty, Li Mingqi would be happy to die even if he immigrated from the Puppet Qing Dynasty, let alone 100,000 people, even 20,000 people in two years.

This also made Li Mingqi feel that time flies so fast. In the blink of an eye, it is already July 1862. Gu

Since there is no way to achieve rapid immigration for the time being, let's keep an eye on the current living conditions of the people.

But the unsatisfactory imperial people still had the same temper and thought it was a shame to take a white woman as a concubine.

He would rather spend money to go to a regular brothel than marry someone and go home to have children, which made Li Mingqi very helpless.

"Haven't they already started to open women's colleges for white women? Why are the people of the empire still doing this now?"

Since he couldn't figure it out, Li Mingqi could only look to Liu Youcai to find the answer to the problem.

"Although white women displaced by the war were accepted, those older women over 16 years old went to work in factories."

"Younger white girls are still studying in women's colleges. It will be several years until they graduate. Long live you..."

At this point, Liu Youcai continued hesitantly: "No matter how patient you are... don't get too anxious. I have already sent people to fake the Qing Dynasty..."

It's okay that Liu Youcai didn't talk about this matter, but when Li Mingqi mentioned it, he felt a sense of grievance that he had been misunderstood.

When did I say that I was holding it back?

I am still a 17-year-old kid now!

At a certain point, if you dare to write a book about the emotional problems of minors, the book will be banned!

But what Liu Youcai said is not bad. Those white girls have just entered the girls' school to learn the three obediences and four virtues and popularize our Xinming cultural traditions and aesthetics.

Through Li Mingqi's efforts, the dressing style in the Xinming Empire has completely become different from that of the pseudo-Qing Dynasty.

Mandarin jackets and robes have disappeared in the Xinming Empire, but various modern Chinese-style clothes have become popular.

As for those cumbersome Hanfu, not only that most people can't afford it nor are they accustomed to wearing it, but as times have progressed, it's really inconvenient to buy those clothes with wide robes and big sleeves.

But Li Mingqi also strictly ordered that the dress should conform to Chinese tradition when attending various ancestor worship or other formal occasions.

In other words, you can wear whatever you like on a daily basis, but if you need to change into Hanfu for occasions such as temple fairs, ancestor worship, public memorial days, etc.

As for if someone wears those inappropriate clothes on the above days to show off in the market to attract attention, how can they talk about freedom of dressing?

Sorry, my legs will be broken directly in the Xinming Empire!

No one is stupid, don't say you don't know about things you know and do intentionally.

Nowadays, the night schools in the Xinming Empire include law classes and history classes, which are the main subjects.

Li Mingqi is not used to people pretending to be stupid. He doesn't want some bastards who forget their ancestors to appear among the people of the empire in the future.

Shaking his head, Li Mingqi walked towards the Royal Battleship Design Bureau again. He had to continue to supervise the construction speed of the battleship.

After such a long time, many skilled shipbuilders came from Tsarist Russia.

Li Mingqi felt jealous that there were so many workers in Tsarist Russia.

If the people of the empire have so many talents, then Li Mingqi can laugh to death, so how can he sell it to outsiders?

In fact, what he didn't know was that there was already a wave of large-scale training of shipbuilding workers in the shipyards of Tsarist Russia.

The purpose of this wave was to train large numbers of skilled shipbuilders, who would then be sent to work in the New Ming Empire, and the funds returned would be invested in the construction of the Far East.

After discussion, the officials of Tsarist Russia agreed that this kind of business was very profitable, and a large number of shipbuilding workers must be sold before the Easterners could react.

Who asked Li Mingqi to say that he wanted as much as he wanted? Tsarist Russian officials felt that if they didn't cheat the Eastern emperor at this time, they would be sorry for their own conscience...

PS: There are a few complaints and personal things mixed in, please don’t mind, shit-slayers, there are really some things that I don’t want to say.
