The Great Ming Dynasty Dominate Overseas

Yao Wenran (1620 -) is a weak prince, named Longhuai, born in Tongcheng (Tongcheng, Anqing, Anhui) in the south of the Yangtze River. He was born in the 16th year of Chongzhen in the Ming Dynasty. At that time, Ruan Dacheng was beaten as a castrated party, and he was depressed. Yao Wenran also told him that he did not catch a cold and kept a certain distance.

When the southeast king came to power, Ruan Dacheng became an eagle dog under his seat, a capable officer, and was awarded the second-class ceremonial book. Yao Wenran came to visit Ruan Dacheng and said that we are fellow villagers!

The meaning is that Ruan Dacheng will take care of him. When Yao leaves, Ruan Dacheng’s Qing guest Yuan Lijian disdains Yao’s behavior. Fortunately, Ruan Dacheng said that when he was down, even his family looked down on him, let alone outsiders!

Ruan Dacheng has supported Yao Wenran many times, and Yao Wenran himself has the ability. He has served as the general judge of Huzhou, the prefect, the Secretary of the Right of Shanxi, the minister of the Ministry of War, the imperial commander of the left capital, the secretary of the criminal department, and the doctor of Feng Guanglu. He is fifty years old and has done it. Hubu Shangshu.

The officials of both China and China must rotate. Yao Wenran only took office this year and was brought out by Yan Changwu. He was taken out by Yan Changwu to investigate Guangdong's economy. Yao Wenran was deeply shocked by the boom in Guangdong's economy. Yan Changwu left Guangzhou while he stayed in Guangzhou to continue research.

There are many reasons. It was only then discovered that Guangdong’s prosperity was not a fluke. Its development was not just the beginning of Xinming. Since the 1930s, Guangdong local officials of the former Ming had colluded with Yan Changwu. According to Yan Changwu's request to actively develop the economy, the population continues to grow.

Guangdong officials are good at making cakes bigger! Cut the cake!

"Bigging the cake" is reflected in the economic life of Guangdong Province. Officials actively develop the economy, increase social wealth, and are proactive in boosting the province's GPD.

"Cut the cake well" is reflected in the economic life of Guangdong Province, where officials can correctly distribute social wealth, pay attention to fairness, and care about social interests.

Yao Wenran found that local officials in Guangdong, Fujian, and Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces, taught by the king of Southeast Asia, generally possess this ability, have an overall view of the overall situation, and have the awareness of "sit in the same boat". The officials are effective in implementing the minimum wage. They care about hospitals, schools, orphanages and other welfare facilities. They work hard, renovate the living environment, improve road conditions, broaden income channels, and enrich folk spiritual culture.

After returning to Nanjing, Yao Wenran reported to the court to promote the beneficial experience of economic development in the Guangdong, Fujian, Jiangsu and Zhejiang regions, and asked the provinces to make the cake bigger! Cut the cake!

As a minister of households, the more taxes each province pays, the more comfortable he will be and the more powerful he will be in his speech. Naturally, he is very concerned about this matter, and he wants to learn from Guangdong's experience in publicity everywhere.

He was turned out of the old account. It was when he was an official of the Zuodu Yushi that he even demolished a group of officials in Guangdong Province, saying that they were so motivated by profit that they couldn't understand it.

Look, how similar Yao Wenran is to the Guangdong officials who were deposed before, and how innocent those officials are!

Coupled with his different attitude towards Ruan Dacheng’s pros and cons, Yao Wenran gained a reputation of “thick-skinned as the bulwark of a battleship”, and he did it on his own, emphasizing on which hills he sang and where he sits. Just say something.

After being scolded a few words, Yao Wen then joined the cabinet because of his outstanding financial work, and reached the peak of his life!

…

Yan Changwu's fleet arrived on Hainan Island. At this time, Hainan Island was called Qiongzhou Prefecture, with 3 prefectures and 10 counties under the jurisdiction of Guangdong, which formed the customization of the Ming Dynasty. Therefore, it was collectively called Leiqiong Region with the Leizhou Region of Guangdong Province.

The islands in the South China Sea such as the Xisha Islands (then known as "Thousand Miles of Changsha") and the Nansha Islands (then "Wanli Shitang") are under the jurisdiction of Haiya Prefecture, and the "returned" Li people are also included in basic organizations such as Tu, Du and Xiang. Affiliated to prefectures and counties, like the Han people, they pay for food and serve as errands.

Yan Changwu convened a discussion with local officials and found that their fighting spirit is not high. The Hainan area is small in population, underdeveloped, and the environment is harsh and difficult. Therefore, they all complained.

The location of the Hainan Institute is a bit embarrassing. There are problems with the circulation of resources, mainly the transportation of the Qiongzhou Strait, which naturally hinders communication with the mainland. If capital is invested, it is better to invest in Southeast Asia or the mainland.

In addition, Hainan is remote and isolated overseas, and Guangdong Province is reluctant to invest.

Hearing what they said, Yan Changwu cheered for them: "Hainan is a good place and there is a lot to do!"

Although he has little contact with Hainan for the superiors, he is very familiar with the situation in Hainan and encourages people to actively reclaim wasteland, establish plantations, and plant rice.

Due to the superior conditions of light, heat and water, the growth and reproduction rate of organisms is better than that of temperate and subtropical regions. Farmland can be planted all year round, and many crops can be harvested 2 to 3 times a year. It is a cornucopia.

Coffee, cocoa, sisal and rubber can be planted, and three main medicines are planted as nootropic, amomum, and Morinda officinalis. Animal medicinal and marine medicinal resources available for development include antler, monkey ointment, bezoar, tortoiseshell, sea dragon, and seahorse. , Sea snakes, amber, pearls, sea cucumbers, corals, shells, oysters, stone cassia, shark fins, turtle plates, there are everything, there is definitely a drama!

"In addition to salt field development and marine fishing, you can try to use the ocean and tidal flats for artificial breeding of seafood species, and do everything possible to generate income." Yan Changwu emphasized economic development and encouraged officials not to say anything. .

"Well, in addition to financial funds, we set up a development consortium in Hainan to invest, and the investment will thrive." Yan Changwu decided to personally invest 2 million silver dollars. He enthusiastically signaled to let Mr. David take the lead. UU Read www.uukanshu.com Mr. David nodded repeatedly and said that he also invested one million silver dollars, and then raised some funds up to ten million silver dollars to go to Hainan for the project.

As the emperor's favor, he was a licensed slave owner who traded a large number of slaves in the Middle East. Mr. David was very rich and had a wide range of channels, so it was not a problem to attract funds.

Good guy, the investment of tens of millions of silver dollars was made all at once, which made Hainan officials happy, and this year-end summary report was a big hit.

"Don't be anxious, do a good job in farmland water conservancy construction and road and port infrastructure, improve people's lives, and actively develop the economy!" Yan Changwu gave instructions.

After he left Hainan, the officials carried out their work according to his will. They organized manpower to open up wasteland, cutting down trees and burning wasteland... There are 85 kinds of high-grade wood suitable for shipbuilding and expensive furniture in Hainan, including rosewood, Valuable woods such as Polei, Zijing, Litchi, and Musheng have become the first pot of gold for developers.

With the funds in place, paddy fields appeared, and plantations were allocated. Soon, sea-going ships transported rice, coffee, cocoa, sisal and rubber to the mainland, and Hainan’s economy slowly Develop.
