Nanming: I can build wonders

Chapter 173 Population Explodes Again (Happy National Day!)
"Extraordinary! Extraordinary! The joint Fujian-Guangdong fleet defeated the Dutch Navy and captured 11 warships!"

"Extra! Extra! The Dutch East India Company admits defeat!"

"Extraordinary! Extraordinary! Your majesty once again opened up the territory!"

As the evening approached, it was time to take a rest after get off work, but the shouts of newsboys working hard rang out on the street again.

Because Zheng Kezang believed that gaining the hegemony in the Nanyang region was of great significance to Ming Zheng, he immediately ordered Dongning Newspaper to print such a special issue as soon as he returned from Batavia.

"Old Su, do you know what's going on today? Why are you still selling newspapers at this point?"

A man who was preparing for the night market curiously asked Su Laocheng who was off work from the Dongning Manufacturing Bureau while tidying up his booth.

"Didn't you hear the newsboys shouting, this is another victory for our king! We defeated the Dutch devils in Nanyang and took down a large area of ​​Nanyang!"

"Your Majesty is indeed the reincarnation of the surname of the country! But Lao Su, you have a lot of knowledge, how big is Nanyang?"

"This... in short, it's just big enough!"

Obviously, Lao Su has no concept of how big Nanyang is. After all, he is just a craftsman, and learning to read is already very impressive, and he can understand without learning geography.

In a restaurant facing the street, several young people poked their heads out curiously, and asked a newsboy to buy a newspaper.

"Second brother, quickly read what the newspaper said?" Someone urged.

"Don't worry, don't worry, just watch!"

"The newspaper said that with the full cooperation of the Guards and the Navy, the Dutch East India Company was completely defeated, and Batavia, Java Island, Sulawesi Island and other places were included in the Ming Dynasty map!"

"That is to say, Your Majesty is expanding the territory for Daming again?"

"Yes! Expansion of territory!"

A group of young people looked excited, and their eyes were full of admiration for Zheng Kezang.

After all, this is an expansion of territory!What other achievement can compare to this?
It was late at night, and Zheng Kezang, who was admired by the entire Ming Dynasty, was lying in the gentle village.

Beside him, lying on the bed was the Queen Concubine Chen.

Concubine Chen reclined on the brocade bed, her black hair scattered like clouds.

She slept so softly, and the curves of her body made her feel refreshed.

Zheng Kezang had no intention of admiring it, he got up carefully so as not to disturb Concubine Chen.

When he came to the table, he saw a bowl of cold seafood casserole porridge on the table, which was very characteristic of southern Fujian.

There are oysters, scallops, swimming crabs, prawns and other seafood in the porridge, which looks very appetizing.

Now, with the prosperity of the shipbuilding industry in Ming Dynasty, fishing boats are also taken care of by this kind of benefits. Many fishermen have updated their cars, and the fishing industry has made great progress.

Moreover, Mingzheng sea area is getting bigger and bigger, and fishery resources are extremely rich, and expensive seafood of later generations can be seen everywhere in Mingzheng.

Zheng Kezang picked up the spoon and took a sip, a umami taste bloomed in his buds, and the supper had to be casserole porridge.

At this moment, Concubine Chen, who was sleeping normally, was awakened by the sound of Zheng Kezang drinking porridge. Rubbing her sleepy eyes, she saw that it was Zheng Kezang who secretly got up to eat supper.

"Husband, you are the one who woke up!" Concubine Chen smiled.

"Husband, once this casserole porridge is cold, it will become a little fishy, ​​ask the servants to heat it up!" Then he continued.

"It's okay, it's too hot in Yizhou Island, so it's just right to be cool like this!" Zheng Kezang's request was not high.

"Concubine, you didn't eat much for dinner, did you? Come and have some." Zheng Kezang called Concubine Chen to come and have supper with him.

Under the dim light, the two sat together, Zheng Kezang was drinking casserole porridge, listening to Concubine Chen telling how Zheng Kezang missed him when he was fighting outside.

With a slight smile on Zheng Kezang's face, listening to Concubine Chen's rambling, he felt warm in his heart.

Before he finished eating, Zheng Kezang got up suddenly, came behind Concubine Chen, hugged her, and said in a very gentle tone beside her.

"Concubine, I am also very sad when I am not in Yizhou Island!"

"Now neither of us can sleep, why don't we have a baby!"

Concubine Chen blushed when she heard the words, but she got into Zheng Kezang's arms.

As the saying goes, Xiaobie is better than a newlywed, and the two tossed and tossed for most of the night until Concubine Chen was exhausted, and Zheng Kezang, the beast, stopped.

Through actual combat, it was found that Hercules' talent not only affected his strength, but his ability in this area seemed to have been greatly improved.

So much so that Concubine Chen wanted to quickly find more concubines for Zheng Kezang, but she couldn't handle it!
……

The next day, Zheng Kezang reluctantly withdrew from the gentle village and began to get busy with business.

At the court meeting, his old father-in-law Chen Yonghua was holding a large document in his hand, obviously he had something important to report.

He handed all these documents to Zheng Kezang, and then spoke.

"Your Majesty, this is the recent population statistics from the imperial court!"

Zheng Kezang nodded slightly, took the documents, and began to read them carefully.

Through this population data report, Zheng Kezang was delighted to find that the population growth rate of Ming Zheng has been very impressive since this period of time!

At the last census, there were only 36 Han Chinese in Yizhou Island, but now there are 50!
The biggest contributor to this population growth is naturally "Hu Sangui".

Since Julio sold muskets and armed merchant ships to Kangxi, he has become the favorite of the Qing emperor.

After going up and down, the Qing government turned a blind eye to his recruitment of refugees from all over the world to be that laborious "laborer".

Some even help to get people to give it to him, because it is so profitable, one tael of silver per person, this is a profitable business.

The business of selling piglets appeared in the seventeenth century in advance.

The selling of piglets in later generations is actually a Cantonese word. Wasn’t the Chinese laborer caught and taken to the boat?
In order to reduce costs, the ship does not necessarily have a bowl for each person, but a big pot. They cook something to eat, and then every Chinese worker squats down, like feeding a pig.

So it is called selling piglets!
It takes about 2-5 months for them to go abroad, and they are imprisoned in the cabin during the whole process. The living conditions are extremely harsh, and the death rate is as high as 30-50%.

They are transported abroad like goods, and are enslaved to do hard work in mining and other places. Their status is low and they have no hope of returning home.

But Mingzheng is not the group of Western colonists, they take good care of these refugees, even on the ship, they eat and drink, and there is a doctor who is proficient in the "Barefoot Doctor's Handbook".

As long as the refugees are healthy, they will basically not die during transportation.

There were even some who were already sick, but were cured by the ship's doctor.

Because the food was nutritious, these refugees recovered their bones on the boat, and they were completely different from before!
"Then how are the people who migrated to Yizhou Island resettled?"

　Happy National Day!
