A trip starting from the courtyard

Chapter 242 Qiongzhou
"It's too much to bully me."

After half a year, Lu Bing, the commander of Jinyiwei, died suddenly.

Emperor Jiajing was very sad, wept at the portrait of Lu Bing, and wrote an imperial edict by himself, praising him for his service to the country, exposing traitors, devotion to his duties, and writing Qing Ci, and posthumously posthumously honoring him as Uncle Zhongyong.

Jiajing gave him sixteen altars of sacrifices, equivalent to the specifications of the emperor's relatives; he also gave him fifty stones of fasting grain and linen; he also ordered the Ministry of Industry to prepare a coffin and build a tomb for him.In addition, the Ministry of War appointed his son Lu Yi as Jinyiwei Qianhu.

After more than half a month, the prefect's appointment document was finally sent to Rongcheng.

Wang Lidong actually became the magistrate of Rongcheng. This news shocked all the officials and citizens of Rongcheng.

A seventh-rank sesame official who bought it with money, did not know what kind of shit luck he had, but he was promoted to 6 levels in a row and became a fourth-rank magistrate.

The old emperor is blind.

In February of the next year, Yue Buqun and his wife happily sent their precious daughter to Rongcheng.

On the appointed day, Wang Lidong came to marry his wife back home.

Within two months of their marriage, Yue Lingshan became pregnant, and in the second year she became a boy, and Lin Zhennan and his wife had a three-day feast.

In the same month, good news came from the weapon workshop that Mauser's 1898 breech-loading musket was successfully imitated.After Wang Lidong's personal inspection, there are many minor problems, but the problem is not serious, and it can be officially mass-produced with a little improvement in the future.

For the next four years, with Wang Lidong's investment regardless of the rewards, the whole Jilong Mountain seemed to be beaten with chicken blood. It changed every six months, and changed drastically every year.

The whole island is like a big construction site, and the number of permanent residents on the island has also increased from zero to more than 120 million.

In five years, more than 1000 million mu of land on the island has also been completely reclaimed.The annual grain output has reached about 100 billion catties, which is almost enough for 1000 million people to chew for a year.

The primary school he established expanded from one to five and established a middle school.

With the continuous increase in the number of graduates every year, the dilemma of lack of talents in Jilongshan has been solved.

From the third year onwards, Wang Lidong successively moved all the key industries under his name to Jilong Mountain.

The magistrate was not wasted.In a few years, all the gentry and landlords in Rongcheng were checked, and as long as they had knowledge of the Japanese, they were all dealt with according to the law of the Ming Dynasty.

This incident caused a great backlash from the gentry officials in Fujian Province, and the impeachment of Wang Lidong flew into the hands of Emperor Jiajing like snowflakes.

But after Emperor Jiajing flipped through a few memorials casually, he asked Huang Jinnao to use them as fire starters.

Every time Wang Lidong copied a landlord and gentry, he would send 400% of the confiscated silver taels to Jiajing's internal treasury. In the past few years, the tribute received from Fujian Province exceeded more than [-] million taels of silver.

Emperor Jiajing was so jealous that he followed suit, but after only two deals were made, the civil servants in the entire imperial court went on strike collectively.

As a last resort, he could only compromise with the civil servants.

However, in the next few years, I still couldn't help copying the house several times, and harvested more than 300 million taels.

In addition, two years ago, Jiajing attracted all the nobles, finally withstood the pressure of the civil officials, and decreed to open the sea ban. In the coming year, the tax revenue of the Municipal Shipping Department will reach more than 100 million taels.

Father and mother are not as good as silver.

In one year, so much tax money was collected. It is conceivable how much tax money has been lost since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, which made Jiajing lose sleep for several nights.

During the inspection, Wang Lidong obtained two large shipyards, which made up for his shortcomings at once.

Then began to form the Jilongshan fleet.

Short of sailors, he ran to several big pirates' dens and recruited about 80.00% of Wang Zhi's pirates.

Those who committed the most heinous crimes were publicly executed, and the rest were atoned for their crimes.

At this time, Wang Zhi, the One Piece King, had been beheaded in Guanxiangkou, the provincial capital of Jiangnan Province, on December 38, the 1559th year of Jiajing (25).

After the reorganization, the Western Pacific Ocean became the largest maritime overlord.

With the outbreak of various workshops under his name and the actual domination of the Western Pacific Ocean, various industrial products produced in Jilongshan are distributed all over the world by cargo ships.

The several major piers are full of ships from Southeast Asia and even the West every day, and businessmen of all colors come in an endless stream.

In the fifth year, the year-end report showed that the profits of all the industries under his name reached 300 million taels.

However, there are more and more forces envious of Jilongshan, not only the local civilian groups in Fujian Province, but also the honorable gangs in Nanzhili.

Afterwards, Wang Lidong personally came to the door and had a heart-to-heart talk with these top forces of the Ming Dynasty.

The two parties signed a series of commercial contracts in a friendly and relaxed atmosphere.

Jilongshan Affairs Bureau
The butler Lin Jian held a notebook and said to Wang Lidong:

"Master, there is news from the electronics factory that the production line of the wireless telegraph has been installed and debugged. Director Tian asked if you can't make it through today?"

Wang Lidong said happily:
"Old Tian's hands and feet are quite nimble. Of course, such a good thing must be done."

He waited for this day, but he waited for a long time.

Wireless telegraphy not only allows people to communicate quickly and effectively.

In the military field, commanders can know the movements of the enemy and ourselves at the first time, so that they can make correct decisions, which adds another guarantee for the victory of the war.It can be said that because of the telegraph, the world has entered a new era.

He glanced at the clock leaning against the wall:

"Just at one o'clock in the afternoon."

After Lin Jian wrote down the time, he said:

"Mr. Zhao sent a letter saying that Yan Song, Yan Shifan and his son were exiled to Qiongzhou by the emperor last month, asking how the master should deal with it?"

In the past two years, Wang Lidong had used his banknote ability to make Zhao Ligong the magistrate of Qiongzhou Island.

Jilongshan was short of iron and steel, but the output of iron ore in Daming was very low, so the famous Shilu iron ore was thought of.

The reserves of Shilu iron ore account for about 71% of the iron ore reserves of Sihai Guofu, and it is still an open-pit mine.

In addition, Qiongzhou Island, as one of the four places where the imperial court exiled officials, has many imperial court officials on it.

Although they all came from imperial examinations and have limitations in knowledge, it must be more than enough to enlighten children in elementary school.

"According to court rules."

He didn't chop the two of them up by himself, so he restrained himself.

Lin Jian continued:
"The second lady sent a message, asking when you will return to Rongcheng?"

Wang Lidong thought for a while and said:

"I'll be back the day after tomorrow."

This week's holiday happens to be Lan Lan's birthday.

If he didn't spend time with her, he would definitely look bad at him again in the future.

A year ago, the three junior sisters and the queen, Wang Lidong, married all of them in order not to let the money go to outsiders.

And in this day and age, if he really only married one, the first wife would definitely be called a jealous woman, a shrew, or a Lion Roaring in the River East.

But because of this, Yue Lingshan lost her temper.

After all, Wang Lidong's father-in-law only married one.

"News came from the China Resources Commercial Company. In the last month, five of their stores in the country of Wa were smashed up again by the Japanese.

Similarly, several shops of Sino-Singapore Industrial Co., Ltd. were also smashed and robbed.

This matter has been communicated several times with their local daimyo or general, but the situation is getting worse. "

Wang Lidong said with a blank face:

"It's been three months?"

"Yes."

"Inform the ministers of all departments to meet in the conference room at 10:30."
