Out of the cage

At the end of the 41st year of Jiajing, the regular air route from Fujian to Dayuan Island was opened. The 1,500-ton iron-ribbed wood-hull ship set sail in Tong'an County and arrived at Jilong Port. The ship was named "Zhuge Zhi".

Zhugezhi is powered by steam propellers. This ship has already crushed the contemporaneous sea overlord in terms of power system.

This keel comes from the steel delivered there in the 21st century, and the packaging system of the propeller is also a 20th century craft. ——Of course, these modern industrial creations will be registered and recorded when they are used in this era, and they will be completely destroyed according to the list after 20 years, without leaving any traces.

The hull has canceled the heavy guns on both sides of the sail age, and adopted a rotatable rifled gun mounted on the bow.

A clockwork Gatling machine gun is maintained at the stern and on both sides (hand cranking speed is too fast and it is easy to jam).

The naval guns on both sides of the sailing warship weighed an average of 800 kilograms per gun, and it weighed a ton with the shells and combatants.

To load dozens of guns, more than 200 tons will be occupied, and the weight is still above the waterline. In order to keep the center of gravity stable, the chassis must be equipped with ballast stones, so that the weight of the sailing battleship is almost 700 to 800 tons. .

The cruising speed of the Zhugezhi is eighteen knots, while the current speed of the sailing battleship is ten knots. So even if there is only one gun, the advantage in speed cannot give traditional battleships a chance to fire sideways.

And the naval shells used. It is a brass bullet carefully crafted on a lathe.

This is no longer described by "a few pounders", but by caliber. The artillery has a caliber of 80 mm and a projectile of 35 kg. It adopts the breech loading mode and uses a "threaded gun lock" with a rate of fire of three rounds per minute.

This is the level of the Jiawu rapid-fire gun, although there is only one. Well, this door is justice!

However, under the restriction of the "cause and effect system" in the dark, such a ship cannot participate in the naval battle along the coast of East Asia at this time, just like the UFO opened by people in the future came to the air battlefield of World War II, and can only maintain observation but not fire.

Zhugezhi is a merchant ship, which transports more than 300 merchant ships at one time in the Strait flight.

It's just that someone's "surplus" requires a gun, and more than 20 captains and mates keep equipped with guns.

The big wave-breaking ship began to operate two shifts a day and four flights a week to transport people across the strait.

Those who disembarked at Jilong Port gathered quickly amidst the sound of whistles, and the captain repeatedly ordered to emphasize discipline, first: when crossing the grass, leggings must be worn well, otherwise snakes, rats, insects and ants bite sores and can be amputated. Second: It is strictly forbidden to drink unboiled water, the disease enters through the mouth, and the miasma is hidden in the water...

After getting off the boat, rows of people began to repeat these precautions and jingles, carrying their bags in twos and threes, and moved forward along the road with small flags inserted every 100 meters.

There is a six-digit code on each small flag, and the militiamen patrolling the road are discovering the situation. Can accurately send people to report the accident road section.

According to the map, the leaders of the immigration team took people to the marked reclamation camp for accommodation.

Right now, this area is called the Jilonggang area, and there are 60 wooden fenced reclamation camps nearby.

…The forces of time and space now have no shortage of agricultural laborers in the Ming Dynasty. …

There has always been a shortage of arable land in southern Fujian. In the past six months, groups of middle-aged men have come to defect to Wu Island when they hear that there is food to eat.

The time-space traveler’s office in Wudao negotiated with the local dentists for a deal price of “one tael of silver for each person brought. There must be no disabilities. If it is a complete family with children and the elderly, it can be based on this basis. The price of the prime of life comes."

Wei Keng: "Any problem that can be solved with money is not a problem."

Ever since, under the greed of human nature, those merchants who are not qualified to go to the sea will go to a fixed place to bring people to a whole village, and they will pay off their wealth.

After receiving these people, the Pioneering Group cooked food on the spot first, and gave these beggars a meal to recover their senses, and then went to the public bathhouse to take a bath.

Five hours later, let everyone defecate once in the public toilet of the guest house, wrap their whole bodies in disinfectant, and separate the elderly from men and women. The children and the elderly boarded the boat separately. (Note: After this kind of meal, wait five hours before boarding the ship. This is the experience gained after cleaning up the seasickness vomit many times on the previous ship.)

There are many people with sneaky looks among them.

These guys observed the big ship when they got on the ship, and whispered to each other after they got off the ship.

Of course, this kind of whispering is a violation of discipline. Those stewards selected by the previous wave of immigrants now wear red armbands of "management" very proudly. Seeing these new immigrants who ignore their official authority, they do not hesitate to use sticks call.

Then these literate recorders also recorded the names of these people.

In the Reclamation Association, as long as you learn two hundred characters and know how to use calculations, you will get a salary of one hundred cash per month.

…tightly organized and highly resistant to this low-end infiltration of the feudal system…

More than a thousand travelers who have come to this time and space are all men. In the era of Ming Dynasty, they belonged to the "heroes" who needed to be physically fit, capable and capable.

The space-time travelers form a group, give orders to the surrounding natives every day, transmit knowledge, and instill more information than any team in this era.

Therefore, even if Wei Keng knew that various forces had sneaked in quietly, Wei Keng didn't worry about it. Wei Keng said, "As long as you come to my territory, let alone whether you can act freely, whether you can think freely or not is up to you."

For the initial training in the camp, you can refer to the information bombing mode in the MLM caves in ancient times.

This kind of thing beyond the age, dealing with this Ming Dynasty, is simply a spiritual maxim.

That's right, when Master Wei was recruiting people, he thought of pirates and other spies mixed with sea forces! Passive defense against them? It's so stupid, it's normal to harvest them with a mental "heavy machine gun".

In just thirty days, those intruders with calluses on their fists and feet were full of "team building" in their minds.

These natives of the Ming Dynasty, instilled in the brainwashing style of "new future" and "a good man must have great achievements", began to ask themselves, no matter how loyal they were to their original masters, should they come to change camps and carry out the "big husband" When looking at the world" and things like that.

In the 21st century, in the "pyramid marketing magic cave", those people can say that "eating bran and swallowing vegetables" is "a test before success".

Not to mention the future space-time forces with multiple capitals of technology, real estate, and commercial channels,

The time travellers’ reclaiming on Dayuan will really give the landless people a chance to reclaim safely, especially after disembarking. Those spies originally thought that more than half of the reclamation team would be killed or injured by factors such as "malaria" and "miasma". After being rescued by "artemisinin" and surviving, they had to start to be in awe of the group of "immortals" that the Kentuo team said.

At this time, the Air Corps of Time chose to make a sudden effort to immigrate across the sea on a large scale, because they saw Daming's sea ban in Fujian.

Ten years ago, Zhu Wan strictly banned the sea, which caused "public grievances" to boil, and was finally impeached and committed suicide in the 29th year of Jiajing.

Now there is no one in the court who forbids the sea anymore. The sea is now lawless. All kinds of pirate groups surged up.

These pirates are usually fishermen, but when they find an opportunity, they will be murderous.

Therefore, ninety-nine out of ten of these people who went to Wudao were unscrupulous people, and there were not many good families.

Wei Keng is very tolerant: "It's okay to be a villain, I don't want to be rebellious! In the future, if you want to compete with other colonists, you need such talents. Arm yourself, point to a unified goal, and rob other houses."

When they came to Wudao, each group of ten people was divided into teams, changed their clothes, and started to repair the canal with the chief. After finishing the canal during the day, they learned to read under the light of the "calcium carbide lamp" at night. Every ten days of working, one afternoon, I started to play Cuju to vent my energy.

Both learning and training are ranked and updated on the blackboard every day.

They get their meals and get their clothes, and they are paid according to their rankings, and so is the priority of their treatment.

In the management science summarized by market-pioneering companies: it is necessary to focus everyone in the team on the ranking of their own team. (The management of technology-accumulating enterprises is another kind. For example, there is no ranking in the Craftsmanship Association.)

The chief of the Kentuo Society allocated 80% of their time and energy, and the remaining 20% ​​of their time, they still have the energy, but they are still introverted.

As for someone who can win all these papers, of course he will be promoted, arranged to study at the Military Academy, and then he will be a centurion officer while studying at school.

There is a strict hierarchy in the army of the Reclamation Association. When subordinates see their superiors, they must greet each other with fists and palms (equivalent to salute).

After a long time, it was originally the bandits who went to the island to "step on the spot".

After dozens of days, they suddenly began to mistrust each other, and they scrambled to sell their teammates, wanting to completely board the ship of this new maritime force.

Wei Keng's comment: It's like a minor playing an online game, beware of ranking, team, parents, forget about it, keep talking nonsense, not to mention a guy who is inherently cold.

...As a veteran traverser, the development route of farming is to eliminate all kinds of mistakes with the least resistance as much as possible...

The resource management model in the industrial era developed its base in the late Ming Dynasty, and the growth rate was explosive.

In the 42nd year of Jiajing, Dayuan Island and the mouth of the Tamsui River were continuously transported by steamships, and a dozen or so settlements of 3,000 to 5,000 people had formed here.

Baodao has a subtropical marine climate, and the island's water system is still very developed, with a large number of lakes.

In the eyes of water control experts Wei Keng, these lakes with different contour lines are the key to water storage and farming.

No matter how abundant the water system is, reasonable water conservancy projects are necessary to ensure reclamation.

Wei Keng read his memo from the plane of Pandora: In a feudal dynasty like China, water conservancy engineering talents are undoubtedly the top core talents, and most of these talents are concentrated in the affluent areas of the Jiangnan and Central Plains. Guarantee that the water systems in the Huaihe River and the Yellow River Basin will not flood, and the irrigation of mulberry fields will rarely flow to the border areas.

This is equivalent to the beginning of the 21st century. Because of the top-level chips, engineers in high-profit industries such as Aviation Development went to the United States, and it was difficult for other countries to catch up.

Wei Keng somehow understood why there was no overseas farming at the end of the Ming Dynasty, but why Westerners with strong commerce expanded their colonies! Because the farming model cannot be developed overseas.

In the era of the Chinese Dynasty, it took at least 30 years to become a "water conservancy expert".

Wei Keng, the spatio-temporal team of geological surveying and mapping, and the level of the team planning water conservancy on the contour line, surpassed the essence of the Ming Dynasty.

With the support of the water conservancy system, the organization of the reclamation team is far better than that of plantation agriculture, because the upstream and downstream water needs to be coordinated and deployed. That is to say, there is a large organization that allocates dozens of villages to hundreds of villages. This is reflected in the distribution of corvees by the government in the Daming area.

And such a manpower mobilization structure can also be used in the military!

This is why the Chinese peasant uprising was more destructive than Europe by one dimension. Two hundred years later, Lanfang in the south could be wiped out so easily, and the so-called Chinese family did not form a "water conservancy model" in the Han area.

Wei Keng confirmed: In the era of great voyages, China, a nation with a strong sense of land and agriculture, wants to expand overseas. Among many elements such as sailing ships and official appointments, the most "chip-level" element is water conservancy. Spreading out the agricultural planting system with water conservancy as the axis can almost directly connect with the inner soil on the basis of economy and culture.

Ever since, in the 42nd year of Jiajing, the water conservancy project on the "Dayuan" island began.

With the operation of the steam engine, dozens of dams were formed to store water in the predetermined storage lake.

A large number of pebbles were brought in by steel ball-bearing carriages, and on the construction site, workers filled the pebbles with bamboo frames, thus forming a strong embankment. As the water level of the lake surrounded by dykes rose sharply,

The farmland in the surrounding large planned blocks can be irrigated no matter the weather is drought or flood. ——This is not on the same order of magnitude as the plantation economy.

After the completion of the project, it was a wasteland a year ago, but now it has suddenly become a water town in the south of the Yangtze River.

The Fujian-Zhejiang Kentuo immigrants who originally thought they were allotments immediately shouted, "Immortals."

These fishermen who got the soil did not thank God, but took those "travelers of the Ministry of Heaven and Technology" with rulers and optical measuring instruments as stars and descended to earth.

Wei Keng took the opportunity to expand the Social Land Party, and every newly joined aborigine was given a badge of "Ear of Grain and Loess Symbol".

In China, the word "Sheji" is "earth" and "valley" is sacred and inviolable.

After the first round of harvest for Dayuan, it is probably after this round of grain distribution. Those unscrupulous people who had just joined the group and wanted to win a vote and hid in the mountains to be "strong men" also lost their minds at first, and began to move closer to the "Kentuohui" wholeheartedly. Even if you still want to hold the knife, the blade is facing outward.

In the production team of the No. 3 Reclamation Regiment.

A dark-skinned man was squatting on the edge of the millet field. In front of him were tall grain piles and the scene of grain distribution in full swing.

This strong man looked at the harvest with the same expression as an ordinary old farmer, but at least a year ago he still had triangular eyes, and he often had a fierce look in his eyes, and he would immediately shake his fist when he encountered someone who touched him. But now I've started to be polite, and try to be gentle when speaking with the villagers of the production team. His name is Liu San.

And next to him, there are five other men, they are in the production team next door, so they can find time to get together because of the slack season today.

He tapped his pipe: I haven't seen you guys for a long time.

The bearded man next door hummed: "Brother, I will marry a wife next month, and my wife is from the mountains." (Student from Dayuan Island)

Liu San stared at him and glanced at him, but the bearded man was very nervous, because marrying a wife here is for peace of mind.

Liu San took a puff of cigarette and nodded, then: "Your boy is old enough, it's time to do this."

After Liu San expressed his attitude, these former younger brothers breathed a sigh of relief.

And another person asked: "Brother, what about the master's house?"

Liu San looked at the grain pile in the distance and said: "Everyone live a good life. Let me tell you about my family. I don't think my family will let us fight against the gods here."

In the blood memory of the Han people, it is an irresistible kingly way to make the land flourish.

...On Dayuan Island, besides pirates, there are Jinyiwei...

Grain is put into the warehouse, a wave of pots and pans, clothes and needlework are sold in the market, after a wave of grain is collected.

The Kentuo Association also distributed a wave of benefits such as "meat", "rice", and "sugar" to the army and industrial zones.

In the newly established staff department, these bright officials who had just learned a few words began to buzz and ask the superiors of the Kentuo Society like bees staring at sugar.

Kentuo Association has established forums such as "Newspaper Hall" in the countryside, and young and middle-aged people who have just mastered Chinese characters and can only read newspapers are keen to discuss state affairs.

"Cleaning up other forces at sea" has become a hot topic.

Although no one has dared to learn from "Wang Zhi" and establish himself as the King of Hui, some people who were formerly pirates now want to persuade the gods who turned wasteland into fertile land to erect a "Juyi Hall" in the southeast of Ming Dynasty banner.

[Note, Wang Zhi is not from the coast, just like Bao Zheng is not from Kaifeng. His hometown is Huizhou, he belongs to Huizhou merchants, and he is a fellow with Hu Zongxian. 】

The people floating in the seas of Fujian and Zhejiang, the ultimate pursuit of life is to "return the fallen leaves to their roots", to have a stable hometown to be buried, and their children to multiply.

These pirates also have an account in their minds, the windfall from the robbery is only temporary, and once they get old and weak, it will be someone else's.

Although the Kentuo Society didn't give much money, the ability to manage the land allowed these former pirates to feel at ease when they saw their old age. And with hope, he will not pursue the pleasure of going crazy after licking blood with the knife head.

After the autumn harvest, in the time travel team, the Reclamation Association, the Ministry of Engineering, the Ministry of Transportation and other organizations began to discuss the issue of "tax system". ——How to set taxes, how to collect taxes, the cost of tax collection, and the supervision of each link, to achieve institutionalization. In this meeting, Wei Keng was firm and selected some indigenous scholars from this time and space to participate in the meeting Minutes record. Start forming a file.

Wei Keng looked at the booksellers of Ming Dynasty costumes who were writing furiously: localization has begun.

Since the entire Dayuan Island is closed and transported to the outside world through the port, as long as it gets stuck at the port customs, it is impossible for the grain to be quietly transported away by the future "big family" after a good harvest. Ordinary small farmers need industrial products, and they will inevitably use surplus grain for commodity economy.

Therefore, there is no need for a "grain collection system", but a "grain purchase" tax collection system is adopted. (This is how Guan Zhong plays)

Three months after the autumn harvest, tax collectors did not go to various places to collect grain. Instead, they brought the standard documents for "building warehouses" to collect the statistics of warehouse building and road construction materials needed by each settlement, and went to each settlement to find people to discuss.

At this work meeting, the village elders in the village were obviously incapable of handling the "scribbling" record work, and some young people in the village who were ridiculed by the villagers in the slack for "taking the exam for a scholar" began to become this matter. The head of the affairs, and then became the "baochang" after the fact, and the Kentuo Association began to quietly establish the grassroots rule here.

From the perspective of Fengshou Xiaomin in Dayuandao, what they saw was that the officials and masters were directly exempt from rent and tax. I couldn't believe it for the first time. But each production team really started to set up public warehouses, and there was no collection from above, and they all praised the benevolence and righteousness of the "Reclamation Association" on Dayuan Island.

Exemption of farmland is equivalent to "Shangyang Limu", although farming can't be said to be rich? But it is to give everyone a smooth retreat.

Those young people who were dragged to the island a year ago and instilled "big ambitions" are now crushed with the last line of defense in their hearts.

The young and strong people on these islands who have undergone preliminary military training thought: Now that they have no worries, they will become bigger and stronger now.

Those who have been taught to look at the coastal map are already aiming at the Zhuming coastline, and at the same time, they are starting to combine the plot of "Water Margin" mentioned by Mr. Pingshu on the island, wondering if it is possible to make a fuss and fight for an official position.

Narrator: Just as junior high school students in the 21st century read YY when they read novels, Ming and Qing novels also give people who have just some literacy skills a variety of imaginations.

Wei Keng, who was watching from the side, was certain: the Ming Dynasty was still orthodox in everyone's minds, and only those who were hungry would rebel. The current strategy is to support the self-respect of the troops, but not to raise the flag of opposition.

After the unscrupulous people returned to their hearts, it was now the fanatical allegiance to the Kentuo Society.

After the first round of officer training, these soldiers recruited by this space-time line can fight for their own side even without "tying the rope".

In the autumn of the 43rd year of Jiajing, savages plundered in the upper reaches of the Tamsui River.

These savages only slightly destroyed a small amount of farmland, but they excited the idle and flustered recruits.

And it just so happened that this soldier of the Ming Dynasty heard from the military instructors the passionate plot of "The Twin Walls of the Empire" adapted from the deeds of "Wei Qing and Huo Qubing". I was thinking about riding horses all over the world in my mind, and those natives could be said to have hit the gun.

The new corps broke out with supreme combat effectiveness, carrying three days of dry food and carrying bayonets up the mountain to be exterminated.

If it wasn't for the timely arrival of the gendarmes led by the Disciplinary Department of the Space-Time Regiment, this gang of top-notch soldiers was going to attack the mountain tribe.

Wei Keng murmured: Hey, listening to books is so fascinating.

It's not just the army of the Socialist Party that is going crazy, the newly established navy is also going crazy.

In October, the communication line between Dayuan Island and Wu Island of the Society of Social Security was robbed by other pirates. This gave the children who practiced hard at sea gunnery and were suppressed by discipline to wipe the deck every day a channel to vent.

After the navy driving the clipper boat caught up, even if it recognized the fellow countrymen on the opposite side, it would sink the boat with long-barreled guns first, and then fish for people. ,

The steel hexagonal inner-diameter artillery fires cylindrical armor-piercing projectiles with an effective range of two kilometers, which is purely crushing in naval warfare. The ball shells of those Fuchuan ships couldn't reach at all, and they were pierced through the waterline by the superb "water drift bomb" artillery technique.

And dozens of days later, the navy was going to recruit people, and these local society recruiting naval officers came to the prisoner-of-war camp with canned gift bags smiling. Persuade these "fellows" who were shot down by their own guns a few months ago to join the group and join their fleet sequence.

In the last years of Jiajing, the coastal rebellion could gather hundreds of thousands of people. This shows that there is a large amount of surplus manpower in the Daming area at this time.

Kentuo also gathered more than 300,000 people in two years. The instant noodles supported by hyperspace had to increase to 10,000 tons. Aside, these instant noodle bags are made of biodegradable materials.

There are also all kinds of rough primitive machinery for takeaways. After all, it is the Ming Dynasty, so we have to consider the cause and effect. Those lathes and looms can only be seen in museums.

Traditional industries have begun to take shape in Wuzhou. A large amount of jute has been processed into cloth (linen cloth with filial piety), and the textile industry has begun to appear.

It is worth mentioning that the people in Daming cannot consume cotton cloth now. After inspecting the clothing of ordinary people in Ming Dynasty, the "Department of Commerce" personally grasped by Wei Keng decided not to start with cotton cloth for the current industrial textile industry.

In the oriental textbooks of modern times, middle and high school students saw that the small-scale peasant economy resisted the dumping of British cotton cloth after the industrial revolution. It is thought that the small peasant economy is stubborn. But in fact, this is equivalent to the "stubbornness" of experts in ancient times who didn't understand why young people didn't buy two houses, and why they didn't like to wear leather shoes worth thousands of dollars.

In the Ming Dynasty, cotton cloth was a luxury item, and only landlords had the financial resources to wear it. Many families in Yandu redeem their cotton-padded clothes from pawnshops every winter as a last resort.

If you let ordinary people consume cotton cloth in the Ming and Qing Dynasties, it is equivalent to letting young people in the 21st century consume "Haagen-Dazs" every day.

Now when there is no special cotton producing area, linen is the mainstream consumer product of "clothing" in the early days of the industrial revolution.

Harvesting hemp stalks - drying hemp stalks - soaking hemp stalks - peeling hemp skins - drying hemp skins - tearing hemp threads - hand rubbing hemp threads - soaking hemp threads in water - machine winding hemp thread balls - hemp thread winding I-frame - drying - adding stove ash to cook hemp thread - scrubbing - Drying - Dyeing - Drying - Weaving - Cutting. Streamlined work.

Mechanized large-scale production is accompanied by disciplined management to improve efficiency and reduce production accidents.

For example, everyone must wear a helmet at this time, even if it is extremely hot. Because once the hair is twisted by the machine, there will be a scene where people are rolled into the machine.

In the textile factory on Dayuan Island, a knife is placed near each machine, just to cut off the messed-up hair and clothes at a critical time. ——As for shaving hair, Wei Keng and the space-time administrator discussed it again and again, but they still did not create conflicts.

As for accidents, there is still no compromise. Discipline requires that if it is discovered that safety production has not been observed, the hair will be directly cut into a crew cut as a warning to others.

This kind of linen material is equivalent to the hard cloth of jeans, and it has been modified and changed into an American denim style. It can only be said that "pragmatism" is the truth.

When Mr. Wei tried to wear it, he found that it was very unfriendly to the crotch. Although the design was changed to the wide-legged denim jacket in the early days (the trouser legs of early American denim were all worn), it still touched the thighs.

Wei Keng: It is best to wear a cotton sweater and boxer briefs. (Unknowingly, on the practical line, it is close to modern clothing.)

So they began to distribute "local cotton" to make sweatshirts and boxer pants. The opponent's outfit is matched with slippers, which are similar to those worn in the south in the 21st century. Time travellers are taking the lead.

Wei Keng has the same desires as his subordinates, but wearing sweatshirts and slippers, the natives of the Ming Dynasty felt that the immortals from the sea were really delicate and tender, born of nobles.

...Year after year, the news of the sea spread like crazy...

Now, with the eyes of various forces sending out more and more information, the southeast coastal government and various forces in the rivers and lakes are guessing about the origins of the top few people in the "Kentuohui". All kinds of outrageous claims are rampant, such as "after Jianwen"...

The emergence of state capitals in the southeast that produce no less food than Suzhou and Hangzhou has made some knowledgeable bureaucrats in the southeast wary.

You know, when Xixia occupied the area that could be planted in Hetao, it lasted until the Northern Song Dynasty changed to the Southern Song Dynasty.

When more and more Fujian people went out to sea following the "Ken Tuo Hui", the secret report from the Yamen of the Governor's Mansion in Quanzhou had already heard the news.

Cheng Xuan's political envoy, Lu Yipeng, in the yamen, raised his hand with a Western lens, watching the spies send a report with small print, and concluded that "this group of unscrupulous people gathered at sea".
