Brocade clothing as the country

Chapter 1035
Today's Zheng family can be described as "no one in the eyes", and they run rampant everywhere. Everyone really wants to sell some face. They are used to being arrogant. Once there is a setback, it will feel extremely uncomfortable. You must find it. Only when the occasion comes can we give up.

After the news of the Songjiang Mansion was delivered to the capital by land, the Zheng family was furious. In their view, you, a fallen prince, dared to fight with our Zheng family. It didn't weaken our Zheng family's prestige and lose face, it even made the empress lose face.

The crowd below were clamoring, Zheng Guotai himself knew a little bit of propriety, but he was not very old, after all, he was young and energetic, and his rich years were not many, and he was provoked by others, so he was inevitably impetuous.

Zheng Guotai himself has no foundation in the capital. When the Zheng family was fighting for the foundation of the country, it was very stiff with civil servants and veterans of the capital.

Compared with the domineering clansman and impetuous younger brother outside, Empress Zheng understood very well, she just said:

"Now you are familiar with in the capital, whose family are the people you can use?"

It was only then that Zheng Guotai discovered that almost all the officials and nobles in the capital who could help the Zheng family had some kind of relationship with Wang Tong, and they were all related to the struggle for the country.
"If Wang Tong hit our family members in the capital, it would be called domineering, but if he did it in Songjiang, it would be called not changing his true nature, and the Lord Long Live also approves of it."

Speaking later, Empress Zheng's face was serious, and she said coldly:
"Our Zheng family has managed to survive until today. The Holy Grace is generous, and our family should also cherish the blessings. Those people outside rely on the name of the palace to do things wrong. Do you really think that no one dares to control it? Dongchang and Jinyiwei are all staring at it. This time, he robbed someone's son, and even colluded with pirates to traffic people, raising such a person does not know how to be grateful, it is a disaster."

"Your sister and Chang Luo are today, who are they relying on? Could it be the relatives of our family? Isn't it the emperor's great kindness and Wang Tong's kindness? Although Wang Tong is in Songjiang Mansion now, where are his cronies? Come on, you have to think about the future."

Jin Yiwei's letterhead actually arrived in the capital earlier than the Zheng family's news. Zheng Guotai was reprimanded by his sister and returned to the mansion. After a little investigation, he found out the matter.

It was very convenient for him to investigate the people of his master's family, and then several prominent servants in the family had their legs broken, and they were expelled together, and some were even sent to Shuntian Mansion for questioning.

Zheng Guotai thought about it again, don't let it be because of a servant's success, Songjiang is so prosperous now, there is no harm in sending someone to manage it, it is simply a trusted person who brought a large sum of money to Songjiang Mansion.

Such seemingly submissive actions shocked Jiangnan's wealth and officialdom so much that even the Zheng family bowed their heads, Wang Tong was indeed Wang Tong.

Things have come to this, there is no need to say anything, with Wang Tong's protection, the opening of Songjiang port is not a question of good or bad, but a question of how good it can become. Everyone catch up quickly, don't be too late, Tianjin Wei The example of the example is placed over there, and Songjiang will soon become a golden mountain.

At the end of the twelfth lunar month, Yang Sichen's family rushed to Songjiang, and it was regarded as the appointment of the magistrate of the county. At the reception banquet hosted by Wang Tong, Yang Sichen praised with a smile:

"My lord took advantage of the trend and suddenly established his prestige in the south of the Yangtze River. It is really brilliant."

The original idea for Wang Tong was to find an opportunity to be the master of the people in Songjiang Mansion, to clean up an unsightly character on the street, but he did not expect that the people from the Zheng family would come to his door, but let Wang Tong seize this opportunity. Shocking all directions, the situation in Songjiang Mansion was confirmed in one fell swoop, and everything went smoothly.

Banks, insurance companies, shipping companies, shipyards, factories, and other institutions in Tianjin Wei all arrange personnel to come to Songjiang for preparations. They set up branch factories and so on, and they need to be transported by water. Now Tianjin Wei is closing the sea. Can't make it through.

The leather goods store and the alkali store that the Li family and the Ma family participated in are all going to set up in Tianjin Wei, not to mention this, Sun Shoulian and Li Rubai in Liao Town will also set up a semicolon here, and transport the goods from Liao Town and outside the side wall by sea. When the special products arrived, even the Portuguese merchants from Tianjin Wei came to inspect them.

There are not many people who need Wang Tong to do these things by himself, and many people below are familiar with it, not to mention the officials of the Songjiang Division and the General Office of Port Opening are also from Tianjin Wei, and they are familiar with the road.

Both Zhang Hongying and Lu Ruomei showed signs of pregnancy, and it became the main thing for the whole family to take care of them. The news of the nobles in Nanjing City is very well-informed. Their aristocratic families naturally have their own skills in this regard, medicinal materials, Famous doctors, women who know how to take care of themselves are all here.

Another thing is that although Wang Tong's son, Wang Xia, is young, he has reached the time of enlightenment. According to Han Xia's intention, it is not too late to let Wang Xia be free for a few years before studying, but Wang Tong is unambiguous. .

But there are no too strict requirements, just let Yang Sichen teach the child to read, and then Sha Dongning took the child to practice, of course, a child is just learning a few words, making a few gestures, and getting familiar with it first Meaning, but the meaning of this matter is not only that.

At the very least, Yang Sixen and Sha Dongning are both serious, even more serious than when they were given official positions. In their view, Wang Tong entrusted them with the education of his eldest son's civil and military knowledge, which is a sign of trust and value for them. This is much closer than others.

After the news got out, both Li Hutou and Lu Wancai wrote to complain, saying that this matter was more suitable for them.

Soon it was the 17th year of Wanli, and Songjiang was on the right track step by step. Wang Tong also lived a comfortable and leisurely life. His wives and concubines were very satisfied with such a life, because Wang Tong spent the most time with them in these years, and his family also A peaceful atmosphere.

****************
Since the reign of Hongzhi, or even earlier, residents of the southeast coast of Ming Dynasty began to migrate to Southeast Asia. For Chinese farmers, leaving their hometowns and going to foreign countries to survive is an extremely difficult choice, but the oppression of powerful people, large and small disasters, To make these peasants homeless and jobless in Daming, and even have nowhere to survive, they can only travel across the oceans to survive.

During the Zhengde period, the sea trade flourished and the sea routes were smooth. Naturally, a large number of farmers went to Southeast Asia. Some became pirates at sea, and more people went to Southeast Asian countries to continue farming, mining and business.

In this era, the European whites have begun to colonize Southeast Asia for many years and have entered a period of great development. If you want to develop, want to have more spices, more minerals, and more wealth, you must More labor, and it requires hard work and serious labor.

Moreover, the local aborigines are actually in a very primitive state, unable to provide the various materials needed by the white Europeans. Only the Ming Dynasty can provide these materials, and the Han people can sell and produce them.

There are quite a lot of indigenous people in Southeast Asia, but these people do not have the ability to become good laborers. They have long been wasted by the tropical climate and the rich natural environment.

In the warm climate of the tropics, they don’t need too many clothes to keep warm, and they don’t need to work hard to collect fruit trees. They would rather be poor than work, or even starve to death. People often have subordinates, who are slaves or citizens of local chiefs and nobles. European white colonists still need them to maintain local rule, so it is not easy to make too much trouble. In addition, these natives themselves are lazy waste. I don't want to spend too much effort on them.

Under such circumstances, there are actually not many choices. In fact, some Japanese Catholics are working in Macau, but the number is very small. became the best choice.

Compared with other provinces in Ming Dynasty, the cultivated land in Fujian and Guangdong is very scarce, and the coastal people are not so resistant to going abroad, so they account for more than [-]% of the Chinese immigrants going to Southeast Asia.

In order to attract these immigrants, the white people and the local aboriginal nobles offered good conditions. For example, those who came could get a piece of land to cultivate, there would be a short tax-free time, and even free supply of rice and salt.

Under such conditions, the poor people along the coast of Daming were naturally willing to go, and more people went, clans and big surnames began to appear, and rich and wealthy businessmen appeared, but most of them were hardworking and sincere people.

Because of them, the tin mines, silver mines, and gold mines in Southeast Asia have been greatly developed, and food production has also been greatly developed, not to mention that the trade between Southeast Asia and Ming Dynasty has almost increased by a huge amount, and the white colonists have made huge profits from it. , Aboriginal dignitaries and leaders also benefited a lot from it.

But there is an old saying that people who are not of our race must have a different heart. The diligent labor and development of the Han people is not the gratitude and gratitude of the white colonists and local aborigines, but their wariness and jealousy.

When Han people went to a foreign country, they naturally became close to their fellow countrymen, communicated with each other, helped each other, and lived together.

Such a group is getting bigger and bigger, and it will inevitably scare the local white colonists and indigenous people. The Han people are diligent and smart, and the innate pride of the white people is also shaken. It is true that these monkeys should be ruled, but after getting in touch with the Han people in Ming Dynasty, they will even feel that the Han people are truly civilized people, and in comparison, they are so barbaric.

The white colonists were afraid that the Han people would drive them away, and the natives were jealous and hated that the Han people were rich, thinking that their wealth had been taken away from them, while the Han people held the attitude of causing trouble as little as possible, swallowing their anger and being kind-hearted.

Then, disaster struck—
