Chapter 521 The New Rural Association in the Eighteenth Century

In just three days, several gates in Yayue Mountain were broken by refugees one after another, and the garrison soldiers were killed and injured.

After the news came out, Kumamoto's family was shocked, and the Saira's family was also frightened. As several soldiers who escaped by chance returned to the official hall to report, the matter of Ashiki Town was like wings and spreading rapidly to Kitakyushu. The farmers who were hungry in winter and had no way to ask for help took advantage of the night to start their family escape.

In the next ten days, there were figures on the post road in Kitakyushu at night, and they were like clouds. When Kumamoto Fan reacted and sent a large army to intercept, more than 30,000 people had crossed Yago Mountain and entered the three counties. Behind these people, more and more refugees came from Hinata, Fenghou and even Fengqian, and were experiencing a prairie fire.

As so many farmers fled their homes, Kumamoto and other feudals immediately became furious. The mud legs ran away. Do you want the samurai master to farm in the beginning of spring?

The current lord of the Kumamoto family is the 9th Aoshime of the Hosokawa family, and the 8th Aoshime of the Hosokawa family, Hosokawa Nagaoka Hatsumasa, who is currently attending the Edo department. In addition to sending people to Edo to inquire, Hosokawa Nagaoka Yoshire immediately sent his men to negotiate with the town of Kitakai.

However, after the Kumamoto family arrived in the Rikiga County, the Akitsuki family, the Akira family, the Naito family, the Tachiha family, the Kuruji family, the Maori family, and the Inaba family also arrived one after another, filling the small guesthouse in the town of Kitakai. It turns out that all the surrounding families have come, and even if you go to Edo, you may not be able to see such a complete group at once.

After seeing the officials of Beihai Town, these envoys went back and forth and returned the person to us in one sentence!

"Everyone, because there are too many people who have passed the barriers these days, we can't guard against it. Now they are all running into the mountains. But don't worry, give us a year, no, half a year, when we find the people and review them one by one, let them go back."

The person who spoke was a man in his forties. He was wearing a North Navy uniform without a military rank sign. He was not tall, had short hair about a long position, rosy cheeks, and a beard on his chin.

This person is the former head of the Agricultural Machinery Unit of the Civil Affairs Ministry of Beihai Town. He was once the seven little men under Zhao Xin... Bah! He is Wan Zao, one of the seven warriors.

Speaking of such an important position in Rikikari Kinshan, Zhao Xin was really worried about not letting his own people go. In addition, since Rikikari Kinshan mining used a large amount of mechanical equipment, Wanfa, who had been running a tractor in Beihai Town for several years, was finally selected and became the local township chief.

Wan Zao's big-nosed son Wan Haiyang is now a student of the Beihai Junior Military Academy, while his wife continues to play the role of the "Zhao Wang Mansion" in Beihai Town, going in and out of Zhao Xin's house all day long.

The envoys from other vassals were fine, but Hosokawa, Saira, and Akitsuki were immediately anxious. Half a year? Half a year later, it would be different whether our family is here or not!

Such a big thing happened, when the news reached Edo, it would be slashed by the shogunate and scolded him. That would be impossible! Maybe he would have to cut off the seal and change it. For the Tokugawa family, he has lost all his face by the Sendai Basilica and the Kitakai Town in recent years, and there are a few chickens that shocked the monkeys! Besides, he can take the opportunity to expand the shogunate's celestial lord, so why not do it?

"My lord, I have always been respectful to your subordinates in the past two years and have not been offended. Please give us the escaped people because everyone is a islander! Otherwise, if the Edo is pursued in the future, my family may be changed! Woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo w

The messengers sent by the Hosokawa family began to cry after saying that, and the other messengers were also worried.

As a farmer who was once also exploited and unable to survive, Wan Zao, who was sitting in the main seat, really wants to laugh at the sky. Mom, God is so good! You samurai masters have today! You want to take people back, but there is no door!

In fact, he immediately informed Beihai Town of the situation on the first day of the arrival of the refugees, and the Ministry of Civil Affairs responded very quickly. All the refugees who escaped were sent to Ajiugenlu, Shishui County, where they would be picked up by boat after a short stay. The Ministry of Civil Affairs' plan was to let these people become naturalized first, and after the Heilongjiang River thawed in the beginning of spring, they would be sent to various settlements in Siberia.

The reason why farmers who escaped into the country were not allowed to stay was to keep the secret of Rikikari Mountain. Since the Beihai Town dug in the Rikikari mining area, as Zhao Xin's largest source of wealth, all twenty miles around the mining area have been included in the restricted area. Several drones patrol the air 24 hours a day, and there is a camera every 50 meters in the fence surrounded by barbed wire and a sentry tower of 200 meters. All those who approached the barbed wire without authorization fired a gun and warned first, and then they would be shot dead.

All the workers working in the mining area are from Beihai Town, and their families live in Beihai Town, and their working period is one year. The salary offered by the civil affairs department is very high, with the lowest amount of 80 Beihai yuan per month, and food and accommodation are the same as those of the army. The only requirement is to be strict with one's mouth. After recruitment, confidentiality agreement must be signed, and the whole family of violators will be sent to the coal mine in Espresso.

In the past two years, the shogunate and surrounding vassals sent hundreds of spies, and even the Sendai vassals. They all wanted to find out what Beihai Town is doing here, but none of them could go back alive.

Wanzao held back his smile and said in a deep voice to the messenger of Kumamoto's wife: "Everyone, this matter is still your responsibility. People go to high places and water flows to low places. If you don't give the people a way to live, don't blame them for resisting. However, this matter is not without a solution."

When everyone here heard this, they looked up at Wan Zao. When he saw him raise his hand and signal, an assistant behind him distributed more than a dozen booklets to the envoys of various vassals. When everyone took it, they saw a few big words on the cover: "Agricultural Coordination Measures--Trial Version".

Hum? Everyone hurriedly opened it and saw that the first article of the General Provisions of Chapter 1 stated that this Measures aim to enhance agricultural productivity and improve the economic and social status of farmers by promoting the development of the Agricultural Cooperation Organization, in order to achieve prosperity and development in the Kyushu region.

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content later! At this time, I heard Wan Zao say: "You guys have a good look today, and we will talk about it tomorrow."

So the envoys of the vassals took the booklet back and studied hard all night. Although the words in the booklet were all straightforward, because there were many new terms, some of these people were confused and confused after reading it. Of course, some people also saw the ambitions of Beihai Town.

Late at night, the messenger from the Maori family looked at the booklet several times and finally understood it, and then he burst into cold sweat. "My God! They are planning to control the entire Kyushu Island agriculture in their own hands!"

That's right, when the "dawn famine" has passed six years and the island country's agriculture has also begun to gradually recover, Zhao Xin's other plan is also ready to begin to be implemented.

Don't get me wrong. He didn't intend to seize power of rule, because it was meaningless to do so. He drove away a bunch of rice insects, and the one he replaced might be a bunch of rice insects. What he wanted to do was to control grassroots villages and complete the overall control of the island economy by controlling agriculture. And Jiuzhou is the experimental field he chose.

Although the Beihai Trading Company has invested a large amount of Beihai Yuan to enter the island market in recent years, it has basically been circulated in large commercial cities such as Ishimae Port, Edo and Osaka. It is difficult to penetrate into the daily life of the people of the island country.

The problem is that the shogunate is not stupid. If Beihai Town grafts gold, the gold-silver price comparison market of the "two substitutes houses" will definitely change. The method adopted by Matsupei Dingshima is to limit the number of imported goods in Beihai Town, increase the circulation ratio of "goldenza" and "goldenza" and "goldenza" and control exchanges.

It has been half a year since Zhao Xin and Chen Qingsong discussed this matter, and both of them turned their attention to the countryside.

According to the island country's shogun system, the method of paying annual tribute rice by farmers is implemented by a "village tax system" paid by the whole village. Farmers hand over the annual tribute rice to the acting official at a designated location at one time based on villages. After the annual tribute rice is paid, the vassal lord will leave the expenses of himself and his family, and distribute the Ishimi to each samurai in the retainer group step by step according to the quota of the quota of the quota, and then transport the remaining part and the majority of the finances to Osaka for sale.

Because the annual tribute in each village is fixed, there is room for operation. For example, a piece of three towns, three inverts, nine acres and twenty-four steps in a village is on the official tent, and the tribute rice that should be paid is 33 stones, 8 buckets, 2 liters, 7 7 spoons, 2 rice.

In the plan he and Chen Qingsong, Beihai Trading Company will serve as the initiator of the "Agricultural Collaborative Group" to invest in the establishment of the Agricultural Cooperation Association. The natural villages under each vassal are sub-sected associations, and only farmers who hire workers to carry out agricultural production can become members of the sub-sect.

At the same time, the Beihai merchant society bought land from landlords and vassal lords, and then sold it to landless farmers at a lower price. It was initially set at fifteen acres per household, and would provide ten-year interest-free loans to those who lacked land purchase funds. In this way, all farmers have land owned by themselves.

What crops are farmers planted every year and how to plant them? The officials of various vassals cannot interfere. Everything is decided by the farmers themselves. Of course, the production of small peasants in the economic and social society is inevitable. Therefore, the tasks of the always-in-one and the villages will not only ensure the production of staple food, but also guide farmers to carry out high-income economic crop planting and poultry and livestock farming. For example, the Hibiscus Mine requires a large amount of meat and vegetables supply, and also a large amount of cotton and linen products.

Whether it is a landlord or a rich peasant, if you want to hire a long-term worker, you must go through the farmer association. The association will always formulate a unified salary and treatment based on the local employment situation. If anyone dares to bypass the association and enter a private employment transaction, he will always give a warning for the first time and a fine will be imposed the second time.

When paying the annual tribute, the Agricultural Cooperation Association will directly convert the bidding rice prices in Osaka and Edo that year into money and pay it to the official department of each vassal. As for what exactly was planted on the land and how much the harvest was, it has nothing to do with the official department.

Correspondingly, the transportation and circulation of agricultural products will be controlled by the General Association. The vassal lords set up in Osaka to sell rice will be thrown out of this process. As a result, the General Association has mastered the pricing power of agricultural products. In the past, the pricing of agricultural products was controlled by the General Association of Kyushu in Osaka. With the strength of the Hokkaido Trading Company, those rice merchants would come to buy goods themselves.

In this way, on one hand, a large number of Beihai Yuan poured into the pockets of the vassal lords and samurai. Whether they were dedicated to the public or lived, they would exchange these currencies for daily necessities in the market; on the other hand, rice merchants and other agricultural product brokers paid a lot of gold and silver to purchase goods from the club.

Also, because Kyushu is an island, this "agricultural collaborative" plan also includes fishery.

In general, Beihai Town wants to treat Jiuzhou as a test field and then promote it under its jurisdiction.

Not to mention how the envoys from the vassals of Kyushu Island would report to their family after they returned. Compared to the spirit of returning home with glory, Zhao Xin had already arrived in Chiyan City at this time, where he wanted to meet the Tsarist Russian delegation from afar.

Red Rock City, also known as Krasnoyarsk. With the ringing of the New Year bell in 1791, the towns in East and West Siberia that were ruled by Tsarist Russia for more than a hundred years have been changed.

For example, Yenisesk changed to "pingshi", which was derived from the ancient name of the Yenisei River. The symbol of the Qian hexagram of the Book of Changes says, "A gentleman makes more profits and less, and is called "Peaceful things".

Irkutsk was changed to "Baibaier" according to the old name of Lake Baikal, and thus the Beihai Special District was also renamed "Baibaier Province"; Yakutsk was changed to "Dahe" according to the translation of the Ewenk people's name Lena River, and Nerchsk was restored to the old name "Nibuchu", which means "cold" in Ewenk language. In fact, many places in Siberia are named from Ewenk language, either from the big river or the big river or the sea.

This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! As for Chucktu, there is no need to change its name. When the Northern Navy sends troops to Outer Mongolia, it will merge with the trading city more than 100 meters away into a town.

When encountering a change of place names, how could Zhao Xin not cause trouble?

After careful consideration, he renamed Tulun, an inconspicuous village and town, "Baibaier Province Jewish Autonomous County". When the news was announced, the Jews under Beihai Town were so happy. The temporary county council, which had just been established for a few days, sent people to pay tribute to Zhao Xin in the end of January, and presented a letter of loyalty with all the signatures of Jewish residents, saying that he would completely obey the leaders of Beihai Town in the future. His Highness Zhao would say whatever he said, and he would never chase chickens.

Of course, Zhao Xin was not fooled by the Jewish ecstasy. He reiterated the warning that Jews were not allowed to conduct financial lending business in private capacity. Of course, it is still OK to work for Beihai Town and give a stock similar to the Shanxi Merchants Bank.

In fact, the Tsarist Jews in this era engaged in usury, which was indeed a "instinct" passed down from ancestors, but it was still far behind these people to get involved in the modern Beihai Town financial industry. The main reason is that their education level is too poor and their literacy rate is not high.

The meeting place between Beihai Town and the Tsarist Russian delegation was chosen in the newly built stone library in the city, and the residence of the delegation staff was arranged in the courtyard where Rumentsev died.

Although he heard the mother Earl Gold and the broken-handed Earl Jacquesby telling Zhao Xin some of the situations, Earl Orlov was stunned when he saw Zhao Xin and his staff. Nothing else, these enemies looked too young. The tailored military dress and a newly decorated face made Sheng Haizhou, Li Rui, Jiuzang and others behind Zhao Xin reveal a rebellious smell from top to bottom.

These young officers immediately reminded Orlov of the years when he formulated an expedition plan for the Ottoman Empire and served as commander-in-chief of the navy.

"Hello, Earl of Chesmansky." Zhao Xin was wearing a camouflage cold-proof suit without military rank, and stretched out his right hand with a smile.

Twenty years ago, Count Orlov was awarded the first-class St. George by Katerina II and was awarded the title of "Chesmansky". Since then, he has been honored as Count Orlov Chesmansky.

Orlov, wearing a silver wig, also smiled, stretched out his hand and held it hard, then let go, and said to Zhao Xin: "Your Highness, it's an honor to see you. I have to say that you are now a household name in St. Petersburg, and even Her Majesty the Queen has mentioned you many times. She said that you are the most respectable person in her life."

Hehe, respect? Zhao Xinxin said that he was probably because he hated him. Anyone who lost millions of square kilometers of land would not be able to eat or sleep or sleep at night. From the end of the "Battle of Usolier" to the present, Tsarist Russia has sent a negotiating team for more than three months, and this action is very rapid.

He then shook hands with the other members of the mission. When it was the turn of the mission to translate Agafonov, the man in Beijing said in a bit awkward Mandarin: "Dear Your Highness, hello, I am..."

"Haha, have you been to Beijing too? Is Beijing fun?" Zhao Xinxin said that he met another Russian who had been to Beijing. By the way, Father Ma and Father Fei are now much more likely to speak Mandarin than this one.

"Uh... it's very beautiful. I miss the life I study in China very much." Agafonov thought to himself that this highness's Russian is even smoother than my Chinese. Who did he learn it from?
