Chapter 344: Jackie Chan Java

If the Qing army entered the customs and did something good, uh, it was also a good thing, depriving the Jiangnan gentry of their privileges, overthrowing the unreasonable commercial tax of the Ming Dynasty, increasing tax revenue, reducing the unreasonable heavy taxes in the north, and subsidized by the south. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info Of course, this series of measures is not for the benefit of the Chinese people, but to safeguard the interests of the Qing Dynasty rulers themselves!

However, the Qing court did this to bring Wang Xinyu an advantage: that is, after he seized the territory, he did not need to face the civil officials and gentry to drag him back, he could collect taxes according to the commercial tax set by the Qing court, and he could confiscate the cynical land that had taken refuge in the Qing court to himself, which was equivalent to the Qing government helping him open the way and reducing a lot of trouble.

Since it is currently impossible to pay the salaries of a large number of village officials and township heads, Wang Xinyu has adopted the method of distributing meritorious fields to control the people.

Those soldiers who made meritorious contributions, after obtaining the land, entered the countryside, which was equivalent to replacing the original gentry.

Because Wang Xinyu adopted the method of new farm tools and new farms, some gentry who were interested in the Ming Dynasty let them use their own land to buy shares. When the Ming army took Yuezhou, this set of methods was promoted to the villages around Yuezhou.

……

Thousands of miles away on the island of Java in the South Seas, Jackie Chan came here.

"It's almost there! Everyone is ready to disembark! The ship's crew walked into Jackie Chan's second-class cabin to remind him.

Yu Chenglong took the second-class cabin, with four bunks in the cabin, the cabin was on the upper deck, with spacious and bright large windows, and the windows inlaid with transparent glass could be opened for ventilation. The lamp in the cabin is also a transparent glass whale oil lamp, and the lamp oil burns, emitting a faint fragrance.

"It's almost there!" Jackie Chan packed his luggage, walked out of the cabin, and waited on the outboard deck.

The Kunxing Princess mail ship slowly sailed into Batavia Bay, Yu Chenglong, who was standing on the deck, looked at the shore, and what caught his eye was a city of Chinese and Western style, the city looked very beautiful, and there were large and small ships parked in the port area, which seemed quite prosperous, no worse than the ports of Guangzhou and Manila.

"This port is really prosperous!" Yu Chenglong turned his head and said to his entourage Yu Peng.

"My lord, if you go to Singapore, you will find that it is more prosperous over there than here!" Yu Peng replied. He was originally the master of Yongjia County, and when the Ming army captured Yongjia, Yu Peng was captured by the Ming army. But because he was literate and not an official, the Ming army did not embarrass him, so he joined the Nanyang Company.

After that, Jackie Chan wanted to go overseas to see the world, and the literate Yu Peng became Yu Jackie Chan's entourage and guide, and left Hunan with him, first went to Guangzhou, and then took a boat to Nanyang.

Yu Chengchan was very surprised: "Singapore is more prosperous than here? ”

"That's right, that's where the West must pass through to the East! All the ships that pass by will stop there, and the shipbuilding industry there has developed, and bars and restaurants serving ghosts have developed. Yu Peng said.

Greater than Jackie Chan came to the coconut city formerly known as Batavia, and Liu Qi, who was in the coconut city, set up a banquet and warmly entertained him.

Liu Qi's residence in Coconut City is the original Dutch East India Company Batavia Castle, and when you walk into the castle, you can see many dark-skinned women bending over to work in the castle, and some women are gardeners, responsible for watering and planting flowers; Some women are cleaning with tools such as brooms. The guards standing at the gate of the castle, as well as the guards inside the castle, look different from the Han Chinese, but their complexion is whiter, a bit like the Tessie, but not very similar.

"Are these soldiers red-haired ghosts?" Yu Chengchan asked puzzled.

Liu Qi replied: "It's not a red-haired ghost, it's an Aryan from Tianzhu hundreds of years ago. However, their status here is the same as that of the red-haired ghosts, and they all belong to the second-class people. We Han people are first-class people here, red-haired whites, Japanese and Koreans, and Manchurian and Mongolian Eight Banners who have not joined the Han people, all of them are second-class people. The Annamite and some of the lighter-skinned indigenous people are third-class people. And the slaves who do things here are fourth-class people, they can only be slaves forever, and their children and grandchildren are slaves. There are also Tianzhu slaves and Kunlun slaves, who are unequal pariahs, and they are also slaves, but those slaves are not allowed to enter and leave our castle, nor can they enter and leave the homes of first- and second-class people. ”

In fact, the second-class people look down on the fourth-class people and the untouchables even more, take the Kunlun slaves as an example, they are walking on the road, if the shadow accidentally touches the Han people, the Han people will not be good. However, if their shadow accidentally touches the Tianzhu Aryans, they will be beaten by a group of third-class thugs, and after the Aryans go back, they will also take a bath and sacrifice, because it is very unlucky to be touched by the shadow of the untouchables.

"Oh my God, there is still such a system? How is that different from the hierarchy of Mengyuan back then? Yu Jackie Chan was taken aback.

Liu Qi smiled: "Of course it's different!" We Han people are first-class people! Both the Semu and the Mongols are second-class people! At least we are still good with the Mongols! ”

Yu Chenglong shook his head again and again: "Where is this what the state of etiquette does!" It's even more barbaric than the Mongolian Tatars of the past! We Han people should subdue people with virtue, not violence! ”

Liu Qi laughed: "Don't you know those untouchables, no one supervises, no whip, they don't know how to work!" They're lazy! Very lazy! And it's very unhygienic! It's stupid! ”

When Jackie Chan visited the island of Java, he found a lot of luxurious buildings with golden and splendid roofs, with white facades, tall columns, tiled floors, wide windows, white or yellow spherical roofs, and a few green or blue roofs, which seemed to be covered with glazed glazed tiles.

Originally, Yu Jackie Chan thought that these buildings were some kind of palaces of the rich, but as soon as he walked outside the building, he heard the sound of pigs barking from inside.

"Why is there a sound of pigs barking in here?" Yu Chenglong asked puzzled.

Liu Qi smiled and said, "What's so strange about that?" It's all pig farms, and of course there are pigs screaming in it. ”

"What a waste! Why is there no one living in such a tall and good house, but instead raising pigs in it? Yu Chenglong walked on the tiled floor and said bitterly.

Liu Qi laughed: "Such a good building, there are only a few people living in it!" Not only do they not engage in production, but they preach some outrageous fallacies all day long! What to kill all the infidels and call on the natives against us! Those people, don't let them raise pigs, do we still waste food to feed them? (To be continued.) )
