Carrying AK into Ming Dynasty

Chapter 902 Capital Exploitation (Third Change)

Anping Town, Jinjiang, Quanzhou Prefecture was originally just a barren beach. Zheng Zhilong set this place as the Zheng family's old nest and built luxury houses with strong financial resources.

These include Zheng Zhilong's own, as well as those of his eighteen brothers, but later Zheng Zhilong almost killed them all, and finally was forced by the court to flee to Nanyang with his family.

In the end, this villa area in the eyes of later generations became Liu Hongjian's private territory.

Anping Town is not very big, and the Zheng family has all moved away, so it is very quiet here.

Liu Hongjian hired dozens of maids to clean the courtyard and take care of Xiaosi and Xiaowu's two wives. He also informed Qin Zuoming, the commander-in-chief of Quanzhou, to send a team of thousands of people to take turns day and night.

"Wow, Daddy, what a magnificent yard!" The youngest daughter Ling Yu clapped her hands bouncingly and said.

"Hmph, Xiao Yu, your father must have been corrupted, but don't be afraid, as long as your father is willing to marry me, I will not report him." Zhaoren pulled Qi Qige and looked at the yard with great interest, while talking to him. Xiao Yu said.

Xiaoyu was only five years old, so she didn't know that Zhaoren was trying to scare her, so she hurried to grab Liu Hongjian's clothes.

"Father, if you marry Sister Zhaoren, you won't have to go to jail." Xiaoyu said seriously with worry on her face.

"No, no, I want to call you aunt, but I'm six years older than you!" Zhaoren corrected immediately.

Liu Hongjian didn't bother to pay attention to this little goblin, and walked into the yard with Sun Xiuxiu and Kun Xing in his arms, while Yang Xue hugged Ling Yun and greeted a group of little kids and followed into the yard.

The guards at the gate naturally recognized Liu Hongjian, and after entering, the girls felt that they had entered another world.

Anping Town is adjacent to the sea, the scenery outside is really not flattering, but after entering the mansion, you can find that the house is surrounded by mountains and rivers, and there are green grass and flowers everywhere. The lake not far away is dotted with green lotus, and there is a stone pavilion in the small lake One, a scene of spring in the south of the Yangtze River.

Not long after, Dong Xiaowan supported Li Xiangjun to welcome her, who was still holding her two-month-old daughter in her arms.

Liu Hongjian chatted with the second daughter only a few words, and was left aside in the cold.

Sun Xiuxiu explained to Li Xiangjun how to take care of the child, Yang Xue kept wandering around with her infant daughter in her arms, and Kun Xing silently took out the accompanying gift.

Liu Hongjian named his third daughter Ling Shuang, and Li Xiangjun was very satisfied with the name. A group of girls, big and small, started calling the two-month-old girl "Shuanger Shuanger".

Liu Hongjian couldn't get in the way, so he simply said hello and went to Quanzhou to find Qin Zuoming for chatting.

Since the recovery of Taiwan, Qin Gongming, the former Quanzhou General Soldier, was dispatched to Taiwan to maintain stability, while his younger brother Qin Zuoming took over as Quanzhou General Soldier in charge of coastal defense in Quanzhou.

The arrival of Liu Hongjian really surprised Qin Zuoming. Thanks to Liu Hongjian's ability to turn the tide in the first battle of Shizhu, Liu Hongjian had both the grace of saving his life and the grace of knowing him in Qin's family.

Fortunately, thanks to Liu Hongjian's recommendation, the Qin family and the Ma family were able to gain a foothold in various places.

Having not seen Qin Zuoming for two years, he knelt down and saluted Liu Hongjian when he saw Liu Hongjian in front of him. After asking about his care and warmth, Liu Hongjian began to ask about the situation in the open sea.

"My lord, although the Dutch warships have withdrawn, the merchant ships of Ming Dynasty still dare not take the original route, even so, our merchant ships of Ming Dynasty are still plundered by the Dutch from time to time.

The humble officer followed the imperial order and only defended against the enemy in the fort area, but every time he heard that another merchant ship was robbed by the red-haired bandits, the humble officer became angry! "Qin Zuoming gritted his teeth when he mentioned the Dutch, which shows his hatred for the Dutch.

"Hehe, you shouldn't be greedy for a momentary pleasure in order to be a general. You are not as good as your brother in this regard, but the Dutch will not be arrogant for long." Liu Hongjian said calmly.

As a superior person, he has seen many grievances and grievances between countries, and he knows in his heart that he should not rush to gain or lose for a while. He will always teach the Dutch to spit out all the food in their stomachs, and it will not take long, at the latest. It's winter this year.

First of all, because the Beiyang Navy needs to adapt to the latest battleships, and secondly, the winter monsoon is conducive to the Beiyang Navy's attack on Nanyang.

Liu Hongjian never fought unprepared battles, and since he fought, he wanted to defeat his opponent at once, so he knew how to endure.

Qin Zuoming was just complaining. Seeing that Liu Hongjian had already made up his mind, he didn't want to talk more about this matter, but he said another thing that he was more worried about.

"My lord, I don't know if I should say something about my humble position." Qin Zuoming said hesitantly.

"The hesitation doesn't look like a military general. Tell me, why are you so hesitant, is it a girl from another family?" Liu Hongjian teased.

Qin Zuoming is almost a straight man with his temperament, and Liu Hongjian helped him get his wife. At that time, he also fell in love with the daughter of a family head in Nanjing, but he was worried about being rejected.

After all, he was just a small guerrilla at that time, and the guerrilla still seemed a bit humble in front of the fifth-rank civil servants, but with Liu Hongjian coming forward, there was no reason why the head of the household department disagreed, and Qin Zuoming later relied on his military achievements all the way to the top of the ranks. The commander-in-chief can be regarded as elated.

"The humble job feels that those businessmen are too hateful, they make those workers work day and night, and almost every month there will be cases of exhaustion.

This matter should not be discussed in a lowly position, but the magistrates and county magistrates all over the country turned a deaf ear to it, and the family members of those workers died without compensation, poor thing! "Qin Zuoming complained.

"Is there such a thing?" Liu Hongjian gasped after hearing this.

Xishan Commercial He operated hundreds of workshops and shops, with more than 4 permanent employees. Although Liu Hongjian was the major shareholder of Xishan Commercial He, he knew nothing about the conditions of the workers at the bottom.

It's just that the responsible persons he identified are generally fair, and he has never heard of the situation where workers died of exhaustion in Xishan Commercial Co., Ltd.

So much so that Liu Hongjian, who was mainly latecomers, thought that all the workshops in the world were in the same way, but Liu Hongjian underestimated the nature of businessmen.

Merchants seek profit. The initial rise of capitalism relies on external colonization and internal exploitation, and internal exploitation is most obviously reflected in the length of working hours. Anyway, one day is so much money. Businessmen can’t wait to let workers stay in the workshop all day. work.

"It's absolutely true, especially the Zhang family in Quanzhou city. Zhang Haolin relied on his brother-in-law as the prefect of Quanzhou, and opened a quarry workshop outside Quanzhou city, specializing in the supply of polished granite stones for wealthy families.

But this Haolin's snake-like heart actually made the workers work day and night, and they were only allowed to rest for less than two hours a day, and some people died of exhaustion every month! "

"Damn it! Don't these workers leave this workshop?" Liu Hongjian said angrily.

"No one wants to leave, but Zhang Haolin signed a document when recruiting workers. If he resigns before the deadline of the document, he will have to pay the employer a lot of compensation. Where do the workers have so much money?"

Qin Zuoming didn't know that much at first, he was still one of his personal guards, and his relatives and family members had encountered such unfortunate things before they had a definite understanding.

"Overlord's Clause!" Liu Hongjian slapped the table, and then stood up.

"Let's go! Take me to Zhang's quarry workshop."
