367 Expansion

The changes in Jonlong Port have not only had a commercial and tax impact, but also had a significant impact on people's livelihood.

Since the end of Wanli, with the gradual coming to power of the Donglin Party, it has actually been a heavy blow to the people of the entire Ming Dynasty.

The Donglin Party prides itself on being honest and honest for the people, and supports the community, but more of them are nerds who can only bury their heads in hard work, and the slogans are shouted very loudly, but they are always confused and can't understand when they really do things. The most terrible thing is that after they came to power, all the bureaucrats who did not follow the policies and guidelines they called for were driven out of the court by them, but they were even worse than ordinary party struggles, which is also the reason why Wei Zhongxian was able to gather a group of party henchmen to confront them quickly after coming to power, and even quickly gained the upper hand.

For the demands of this class, from the later years of Wanli to the fourth year of the Qi Dynasty today, the income from land taxes in the whole country is not as good as a year, and many of the taxes that were originally imposed on the gentry and landlords finally fell on the poor people.

In the end, the common people planted land for a year was not enough to pay taxes and rents for these lands, so that more and more people sold their land and became landless and homeless.

In the long run, the state taxes became less and less, the fiscal deficit became larger and larger, and the civil land annexation became more and more serious, and more and more people were reduced to homeless people, with no fixed place to live, no regular time to eat, and natural and man-made disasters, all these factors accumulated together, and it was a good scene of the end of the dynasty.

Although the Ming Dynasty is still struggling to maintain itself, to be honest, various uprisings and riots have emerged in an endless stream over the years, making the Ming Dynasty, which is full of holes, exhausted.

The only thing that still hangs on the life of the Ming Dynasty is the sprout of capitalism that is gradually booming in the south, which is the only remaining bit of blood for the Ming Dynasty. In the event of a major war that lasts for years, the end result can push a vast empire into the precipice.

The ancient Chinese people ate a complex of contradictions, they were nostalgic for their homeland, subservient to authority, and stubbornly adhered to many bad habits, but when they could not survive, they were able to break through the obstacles they set, break the inherent traditions, and were extremely adventurous.

Among the four ancient civilizations, which ancient civilization is the same as the Chinese nation, which has the subversion and rebirth of dozens of dynastic histories. In the history of Western Europeans, there are several dynasties that were founded by mobs.

The Chinese people, who had no way out, dared to rise up against the heavily armed national army, dared to travel thousands of miles, and cut through thorns and thorns to open up a new place of shelter in the bad land thousands of miles away from the ocean.

In the Luzon Islands, the Ryukyu Islands, and Dayuan Island, there is still no shortage of hard-working Chinese children. When the affluent life of Jilong Port was transmitted to the ears of the displaced people and the people living hard along the coast of Daming, many people and homeless people no longer had to be coaxed and lobbied by Qi San, and rushed to embark on the sea ship to Dayuan Island, and went to the legendary rich and beautiful Jilong Port that can still feed people.

The once poor mountains and bad waters, the smoky and miasma-filled land, through the spread of maritime merchants and seafarers, has become a land of rich and oily, fertile land and thousands of acres of gold panning.

The most important thing is that there are no heavy levies and taxes in the Ming Dynasty and no landlords who exploit flesh and blood, which is an important factor for the simple peasants to come to Dayuan Island to take risks.

In the fourth year of the Great Tomorrow, according to the population statistics after the end of the year, the total population of the two development sites of Jilong Port and Bengang on the entire Dayuan Island has officially entered the 100,000 mark!

These 100,000 people, but all of them are authentic Ming people, and there is no indigenous tribal population in Dayuan, if you add the population of the member tribes that have been steadily promoted in the Bengang Alliance and are slowly being assimilated, the number of people under Li Tianyang's hands is nearly 130,000, a total of more than 20,000 households.

Among them, the population of Bengang is relatively large, because the land there is more fertile, and the surrounding indigenous tribes have a better environment, including the indigenous tribes, there are more than 15,000 families distributed in Bengang and the 12 natural villages around Bengang.

On the other hand, although the area is smaller, and the surrounding environment is also a little dangerous and cautious because of the uneasy livelihood of the Jilongshan mine and the indigenous people, under the prosperous commercial trade, there are nearly 10,000 or so families living in the Jilong Port, together with the six natural villages under its jurisdiction.

As the population grew, Li Tianyang even began to plan to give the stronghold left by the Dutch evacuation to the development zone, as the next place to develop Dayuan Island, and to shelter the steady stream of displaced people who came from the interior of Daming.

However, in the short term, Bengang Jilong Port is still fully capable of continuing to accommodate a lot of displaced people, but the only problem to worry about is that because of the Jilongshan Mine in the south, Jilong Port was strictly ordered by Li Tianyang to prohibit the development of the south, so the land in the west and north is still not enough to support more and more people, and a large amount of grain needs to be transported from Bengang to make up for the gap in these months.

Because the development of Jilong Harbor in the surrounding area is not complete, it will only enter the mountain range of peaks only a few dozen miles to the west, and the indigenous people in it are endless, and the harassment and attack of the people in the port are also constant.

Now that the wings are in full swing, the lost manpower of the whale department has also been replenished in the past half a year, and Li Tianyang began to plan again, preparing to carry out a clean-up operation in the mountains west of Jilong Mountain.

Compared with the natives of the plains on the other side of Bengang, the hostility of the natives around Jilong Harbor towards the people in Jilong Harbor has not decreased over time, but has intensified their clansmen to this side to find out the news of Jilong Harbor.

After dealing with the manpower of the special operations camp for a long time, these natives have also become quite clever, and they themselves are like natives in the jungle, and now they know how to make some camouflage on their bodies, and they no longer act rashly when they see a chicken coop man, and their purpose is much stronger.

In contrast, for more than a year, many indigenous people have been able to touch the distance of less than a few miles around the Jilong Harbor, and observe the situation of the Chicken Coop Harbor at close range, and even a bold indigenous team sneaked into the six natural villages west of the Chicken Coop Harbor in the middle of the night, kidnapped many villagers and fled into the mountains.

Under these circumstances, Li Tianyang felt that among the vast mountains to the west, there was an opponent who was quite hostile to their Jilong Harbor, and he was quietly watching them.

Tomorrow's explosion will be more, and everyone's tickets will float up!
