Poor Wu Qimai was soon dressed up and appeared in a new look. He wore his court uniform and appeared among the crowd of people who were sending off the expeditionary army to the dock.

Then……

"The king always acts..."

Liu Ziyu paused at the dance Emperor Dajin.

“So unexpected!”

Then he smiled.

Not only him, but everyone around him was smiling brilliantly.

In fact, Wu Qimai's family has long been an important part of the entertainment life of the people in Fuzhou. There are even more men who have slept with the Queen of Dajin and their concubines. It is said that there are also people who stayed overnight in the Duke Mansion of Hunde. However, due to the restriction, few people recognized Duke Hunde himself, but he was familiar with his wife. It was undoubtedly very joyful to appear in front of people in this way.

Especially those who are familiar with their wives.

At this time, these shameless people gathered there to guide their wives, and the wives scolded Duke Hunde to make him dance happily.

The latter is obviously very cheerful.

After all, he has been watching the sky in a well for more than a year.

At this moment, he suddenly ran outside. There were so many people around him, and there were warships, and the drums and firecrackers were ringing around him. He was already jumping as if he had returned to the bonfire after the hunting.

"What, now Ling Zun won't scold Wang?"

Wang Yue said.

"Well, my father did not understand the profound meaning of the king's actions back then, but now he has gradually understood that the king's actions are ancient, and the king's political system is restored. The restoration of the equal land system of the Sui and Tang Dynasties is not a nonsense."

Liu Ziyu said quickly.

Wang Zheng Retro is a basket, you can put anything in it.

Besides, what else can you do if you don’t coax yourself like this? Anyway, he has already divided the land. Can you say that we can’t beat you and you can only accept it? Moreover, your system does not seem to be bad. At least for the gentry in Fujian, who originally had little land, Wang Yue’s openness in industry and commerce made them feel as if they felt the sweetness of freedom in the air.

real.

Not to mention anything else, just the opening of the tea trade made these gentry cheer.

Although the tax on tea trade is not low, especially the export tax on tea, these gentry still make huge profits, because in the past it was tea-demanding, similar to the salt industry system of Zhu Yuanzhang, that is, merchants who sent money and grain to border towns to obtain tea induction, then used tea to buy it from the garden households, and then sold it to designated areas in the attractions. This was done by Cai Jing. From the time Cai Jing was scolded as a treacherous minister for all ages, we can know how much the gentry hated this system, but Wang Yue abolished the tea-induction system and turned into a free transaction.

It is just to pay taxes at the place of origin based on weight.

The tea farmers in Wuyishan tea area are also in the militia system, and the tea makers are also in the local militia system. Whoever asks them to buy them will pay taxes at the bank.

In addition, there is no sales area restrictions, so you can sell wherever you like.

However, the transaction tax for trade in various places is another matter. In fact, the transaction tax for commercial cities is already the pillar of finance.

The consequence of this is that the food that will lose to the edge will definitely decrease.

But now there was no need to lose to the border, and the Song Dynasty had no border to lose. The northwest was a warlord system, and it solved its own food and wages. The front line of Hebei no longer existed, and there was no need to defend the north. Could it be that it was defending against the Liao Kingdom, which still had a population of 300,000?

The Emperor of the Great Liao is still in Yanshan!

However, the Ming Dynasty is becoming increasingly powerful and has become the most powerful country outside the Great Wall.

That's to defend against the Ming Dynasty?

What do you want to do? What is your purpose?

As for the Jin Dynasty, it was mainly a matter of the Ming Dynasty, and the Song Dynasty did not need to provide military supplies for the Ming Dynasty.

Not happy about such a gentleman?

Not to mention that they are now encouraged to go out for development and sent troops to open the sea for them. This powerful fleet in front of them was expeditioning to the South China Ocean. Who would go out to enjoy the fruits of victory after victory? Could it be the farmers who divided the land? They are not Fuzhou and Quanzhou, gentry engaged in overseas trade? The fleet went to storm to shock the countries in the South China Ocean. Later, when they saw the merchants of the Song Dynasty, the first thing they thought of was the strong ships and cannons behind them. At that time, they bullied people with their power and relied on the backing of force to seize the robbery?

Which gentry doesn't know how to rob one?

I didn't dare to be in foreign countries before, after all, in other people's territory, but when the Song Dynasty warships could use cannons to destroy their country at any time, they were honest and respected their integrity too highly.

They all understand.

"I have said a long time ago that I actually do it for your own good. One day you will understand."

Wang Yue said earnestly.

Liu Ziyu and others nodded quickly to indicate that they had begun to understand.

Of course, it doesn't matter what you understand or not. What's important is that they have begun to learn to expand. With the help of the free capitalist platform of Fuzhou Commune, Liu Ziyu and a group of gentry, Liu Qiu pioneer group pieced together, has already boarded Taiwan Island, or Liu Qiu, who is called Liu Qiu at this time, as for the Ryukyu in the north...

Also called LiuQiu.

At this time, the Ryukyu Islands and Taiwan Island were not separated.

It was not until the Ming Dynasty that they were truly called separately. As for Liu Ziyu and others who landed in Tainan, their main purpose was to grow sugarcane, because under Wang Yue's militia system, there were many restrictions on growing sugarcane. After all, this thing affected grain production. However, the Tainan area was simply a paradise for growing sugarcane. It established villages in Tainan, used mercenaries to capture native people as slaves, and then planted sugarcane to make sugar and sold them back to the mainland. There was a huge market in the mainland, and this small business could be said to be very happy.

Not even just them.

Some Zhejiang gentry have also formed the same pioneering group.

However, their landing site was Taipei, and the purpose was the same. It was all because of Wang Yue's restrictions on sugarcane cultivation, which led to the rise in the price of sugar sugar. Driven by huge profits, these gentry banned from exploitation on the land had to find new sources of wealth. In this way, Taiwan Island, which was originally regarded as a barbarian land and had no value at all, was extremely valuable all of a sudden. After all, it was a large plain with abundant water, and there were nearby natives who could seize it as laborers.

They are not afraid of the resistance of the natives.

The latter has few iron tools, and its main weapon is javelin. However, because the iron on the javelin is too precious, it is tied to the body with a rope to prevent it from being thrown out and unable to be retrieved.

It is said that once a mercenary from the pioneering group is killed, all the natives ignore the attacks of other mercenaries and scatter the armor on the dead body like crazy, even if they are about to be cut to death, they will not give up. With such equipment level, how can they fight against the pioneering group wearing plate armor with three-eyed guns or even large guns? According to Liu Ziyu's situation, this year they can open up more than 10,000 acres of land in Tainan, and then plant sugarcane and rice. There are groups of sika deer deer. This year, the deer skin obtained by the pioneering group shooting the sika deer will be about to recover the first phase of the investment.

They are doing their best to recruit poor people from all over the country who want to make a fortune to join the pioneering group.

"If you need anything, just speak up. I am fully supportive of you in your development."

Wang Yue said.

"King, there is not enough manpower at present. After all, fewer and fewer people cannot eat after the land is divided. Although natives can be used to open land, natives are wild and difficult to tame. After all, our people must suppress them."

Liu Ziyu said.

"This is really not easy to deal with."

Wang Yue nodded.

This is inevitable. The Europeans who ran outward were all poor people and heresy who could not survive in the old continent.

"Actually, it's not impossible. It depends on how you do it. For example, what is the betrothal gift for marrying a wife in Fuzhou?"

He said.

"Between the people, only dozens of trump cards, but the dowry must be much more than the betrothal gift!"

Liu Ziyu said.

"What?"

Wang Yue said in surprise.

"In fact, this is true in most places in our Song Dynasty, especially in the gentry families, dowry is not far higher than betrothal gifts, so they compare with each other. There are many dowry tens of thousands of dowry. Even because they cannot get all dowry, many women who are waiting to marry have delayed for a long time, and there is a saying that they have broken their families and married daughters. When Sun Xinlao was the governor of the state, he even forced the dowry not to exceed 100 dowry, but after he left, he returned to the original state. After our Song Dynasty women married, they can only use the dowry themselves, and their husbands have no right to interfere. If they remarry, they can take away the dowry. Giving more dowry is also a way to prevent bullying."

Liu Ziyu said.

"This is your own fault. What motivation do you have to make money by making young and strong people like this? The ones you receive more than you pay for when marrying a wife. Instead, the woman needs to worry about it. In this way, if those who have not married a wife are still necessary, is it necessary to go out and make money to get married? "

Wang Yue said like a little devil.

Liu Ziyu took a deep breath...

"We were wrong. Indeed, this is wrong. We are not far from the king after all. The king is really a wake-up call!"

He said with emotion.

Then he turned to look at an old man beside him.

"In-law, the betrothal gift of the little girl is too low, at least 10,000 yuan. After being raised for so many years, the little girl has been sent to the palace and has become a member of your Li family. Your Li family only pays a betrothal gift, but our Liu family wants to pay a dowry of 10,000 yuan. This is a loss for our Liu family to give the man and the money."

He said.

"Indeed, I'll go back and prepare now."

The latter said with a smile.

“Is there any newspaper in Fuzhou?”

Wang Yue said.

"have!"

Liu Ziyu and his in-laws said in unison.

"The Liu family in Jianzhou and the Li family in Fuzhou are both prominent families in the local area. Of course, the marriages of the two families will be in newspapers."

Wang Yue said.

Liu Ziyu and the other nodded with a smile.

"In fact, it's not just this. You must understand that when you don't have enough food and clothing before, eating a full meal is indeed what people want. But if you can already have enough food, you have to pursue other things. Women should wear good clothes, gold and silver jewelry, men should marry a beautiful wife and a beautiful concubine, and build a good house. And farming cannot earn these things, farming is just eating a full meal. If you can guide them and make the people pursue more things, then they will naturally think about going out to make money.

And how to guide them is not the final decision of the famous families in the places?

What do you like? What the people naturally like."

Wang Yue said immediately.
