Chapter Seventy-Seven: The Golden Bone of the Maritime Group

The tide of the times always starts from a small place, and the place that Chen Jian can influence is only the coastal area of Fujian at this time, and this small influence can only affect all kinds of small people at this time. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Lin Zigui, a citizen of the city who had betrayed science and was eager for reform, came into contact with the deviant liberal propaganda, and embarked on a small boat to the freshwater trade with the idea of going out to see it.

Yan Siqi, who is a thoughtful market ranger, stayed in Yuegang and continued to open his own small tailor shop, eager to honestly complete the primitive accumulation with his own craftsmanship and become a tailor shop owner with apprenticeship.

Li Dan, a former Manilan merchant who was eager to go to sea and make a fortune, was bold and careful, and belonged to the first batch of people with an international vision, and with the self-improvement heritage accumulated by the ethnic group for thousands of years, he escaped from the Spanish sailing ship with his life. This life and death experience made him more aware of the horror of power and the fragility of businessmen, and all he thought about was to marry those powerful people with power in the future, so that it would be possible to make the business bigger.

Influenced by women's emancipation ideas, Liu Luo rose up to resist with the few means available to women. did not choose to die, but chose to live strongly, changed his name to Luo Chou, followed Chen Jian's ship to Wangbei City, and became the first batch of women to begin to learn words and thoughts.

Sun Yuanhua and others, who had learned geometry and arithmetic and artillery warfare in the future, saw too much misery they had never thought of after setting off from Shanghai, and saw a scene of rebellion and madness outside Quanzhou, and their minds were confused.

And those who are trying to survive, to survive, to survive, to be fed...... And so on all these people with the most basic purpose, they also have different choices, and maybe that Wangbei City also gives these people an extra choice. At least Yizhuang's reputation is very good, and it gives them enough courage to abandon the small dilapidated house they already have and cross the sea.

All this has just begun, just like the ripples splashed by a small pebble cast in the vast cloud dream, the big people don't care or care, they are still fighting for the country in the capital, operating the first assistant.

Just as Chen Jian planned, land reform and bourgeois civil law are both things to be done by the bourgeois revolution. It's just that the industrial and commercial class at this time is too weak and inseparable from power, and they are not able to lead this change.

At present, all the achievements of civilization from the outside are not enough to cause a comprehensive reverse nationalist reflection, and perhaps after being reborn from the ashes, it can be restructured and have a spontaneous renaissance and religious reform belonging to this nation.

The introduction of high-yielding crops such as sweet potatoes and corn will create a prosperous era after this change, and there will be no criticism; There is not much gap in science and technology, and there is no need for the most brutal primitive accumulation to catch up with industrialization, but only to complete 40 percent literacy education for the whole population to become one of the most important players in the international system in the next century; If the steam engine and the railroad can be completed within a few decades, a railway from Beijing to Liaodi will completely solve the scourge of the north, and mass immigration will relieve all the pressures and established facts of the border that follow; After studying economics, paper money can be appropriately used instead of silver, and the dilemma of insufficient internal currency and excessive economic aggregate can be solved.

This is only a bourgeois revolution, it does not need to go to the next step and cannot go to the next step, as long as the level of the ruling party can reach the level before the first industrial revolution, it can already be proud of the people, and there is a generation of things.

So when Chen Jian left Quanzhou, he was in a good mood, because the theoretical basis for all these changes can be found in the pile of old papers, not the newly established ideology that should have emerged after the industrial revolution, which would have led to the spread of absolute egalitarianism in the thinking of small peasants because of the lack of productivity.

What is added is only how to interpret sovereignty in the people as the people as your society second; What is needed is only to change the content of the imperial examination, not the imperial examination itself, which is a progressive system for selecting civil servants and officials, but there is a problem with the content, and if the same system is evaluated in the Koran and the Old and New Testaments, I am afraid that the best selection methods will be the same.

When he left Quanzhou, Chen Jian met Sun Yuanhua and the other eleven young people who wanted to study science. Relying on the relationship, the local officials gave a permit to go out to study, and followed Chen Jian's boat to Wangbei City.

As for the smuggling of people, the sale of women and laborers, these were carried out semi-openly, and the household registration control after the disaster was very loose.

When Li Dan was rescued, Jian Chen was accompanying Sun Yuanhua and others to visit the cannon in the cabin, carefully explaining some simple operation methods.

As Chen Jian's flagship, the long-barreled cannons on the Lanfang have also been modified by the zipper flint mechanism, and the level of these long-barreled cannons is only higher than that of the European Coffelin cannons at this time, which Chen Jian is very confident in, after all, his own group has also played with cannons for five hundred years, and there have been no detours from the beginning.

The excuse of deceiving Sun Yuanhua and others is also that they can't fire guns at will on the coast of Fujian, which is a respect for the Ming Dynasty, and it can be regarded as arousing the favor of these people.

After the visit, before Chen Jian wanted to ask Li Dan, who was rescued, he gave each of the twelve people a flintlock pistol, taught them how to load and shoot, and let them go to the deck to play with waterfowl.

Li Dan was escorted to Chen Jian's cabin, and the two gold bars were naturally searched, Li Dan was in pain but didn't dare to speak.

What he didn't expect was that Chen Jian asked people to weigh the two gold bars and register them, so Li Dan pressed his handprint, and explained: "You don't have to worry, what is yours is yours, we are not thieves, and we will not rob things that belong to others at will." We still abide by the inviolability of the private ownership of personal means of subsistence and property. ”

Although Chen Jian estimated that the person in front of him could not distinguish the difference between property and means of subsistence and means of production, Chen Jian still did not leak his mouth when he spoke.

Rao is like this, Li Dan, who has experienced a lot of suffering, is still frightened enough by this sentence of the inviolability of private property, and he thanked him again and again.

Seeing that Chen Jian was not very proficient in Nanjing's official dialect, he had no problem in communicating, and seeing that Chen Jian was kind and approachable, he knew that Chen Jian was the governor of this fleet, so he had the heart to accept it.

After telling Chen Jian his name, Chen Jian was also a little overjoyed, and said a few words to Li Dan in Spain, convinced that this must be an old oilman who has been in Luzon for many years, and when he thinks of the massacre that happened in Luzon before, he roughly understands what is going on.

After describing the origin of the table, Li Dan gradually relaxed. Although this group of people was Yidi, he was not afraid of the Spaniards, on the contrary, these people did not confiscate his gold, which made him feel a lot of favor.

"What are Brother Li's plans for in the future? If you want to go ashore and wait for a ship to trade, you can take a boat back. I can write a letter to the prefect of Quanzhou and say that you have been detained by the Spaniards, and that there is no problem in letting me go ashore as a guarantee. ”

Li Dan smiled bitterly, shook his head and said: "If you have been offshore for several years, even if you go back, you will be an outcast." I've been doing business for half my life, and I don't want to go back to my old business. I wonder where the Governor is going? ”

"Fresh water."

He roughly talked about the exchanges with the Ming Dynasty and the reason for allowing him to be temporarily stationed in Tamsui, and said that he had sent an envoy to Beijing and would soon be able to open a trade market, which made Li Dan's mind lively.

Seeing that these ships were strong and artillery, and that they were not weaker than the Spaniards, he thought that if these people had a foothold in Tamsui, they would be able to make good friends with them, so that they could be transshipped for trade in the future.

I didn't want to Chen Jian but said: "Brother Li, just now I said that you are in Luzon, you are familiar with Spanish and local dialect, I don't know if there is a Japanese ship to trade in Luzon?" How many words do you speak? ”

"Yes."

"Are there any familiar merchants on the shore?"

"Yes, there are some relatives in Quanzhou, and the year before last, the Spaniards also sent back some merchants who had served hard labor back to Fuzhou, and there are also familiar ones."

"That's a coincidence."

Jian Chen smiled, stood up with his hands behind his back and spun around a few times, and had a plan in his heart.

This man is reluctant to go back to the shore, he is determined to be a maritime merchant, but he does not have the kind of careful thinking of buying land and becoming a rich man when he has money, and he has many local connections, but he is a person who can be used.

However, some things were not said at this time, so he said, "I also sent someone to Japan to discuss trade." Since you know the Japanese language and have share capital, do you have the heart to buy shares? ”

"Stake?"

Li Dan couldn't believe it, this was a good thing that fell from the sky.

There was no joint-stock company in Luzon, and the Spaniards wanted to form one, but there were too many add-ons and too many military obligations, and the royal family often went bankrupt and had a bad reputation.

And the Chinese in Luzon were not qualified to enter the royal city of Spain at all, so they could only live outside, and they instigated the contradictions between the Chinese and the local natives.

If it were Li Dan, who would become famous in the future, he would naturally scoff at such a proposal. However, at this time, he had just experienced life and death, and he only had two gold bars in his hand, and he was still detained in the hands of others, so he was quite interested in this proposal.

Chen Jian also has his own plans, reclaiming Taiwan and running Taiwan, that is a line, and it must be in the hands of his own party. Maritime trade, on the other hand, is another line, and the two lines are not subordinate to each other, but they must also be pinched in their hands.

On the one hand, once the Nanyang Trading Company got involved in the slave trade, he had to withdraw his shares, otherwise the party would make it difficult for him to gain a foothold, so he needed a trade line of his own to get enough money.

On the other hand, since we want to do great things, we also need to pay attention here, but the way will be different, and in order to form a special new maritime group that is not for the purpose of land, it is necessary to monopolize the merchants along the coast of Fujian. In the future great upheavals and changes, it is necessary for these merchant groups to remain neutral or supportive, and not to be opposed by land policies, so it is necessary to form a new armed maritime trade group.

Although Li Dan has a wide range of connections, Chen Jian doesn't want him to get involved in the reclamation of Taiwan. If he is allowed to come forward, some clan forces will be in trouble in the future, and it will not be a problem for the population and labor force to keep an eye on next year's flood and get tens of thousands of people.

However, maritime trade can allow Li Dan to play the role of a merchant martingale standing wood, and find a way to form interest groups instead of instigating conflicts between the Chinese and the local natives as arbiters like the Dutch and Spaniards, after all, looks and many habits are more acceptable to each other, and those who look different are different.

Therefore, Chen Jian talked about the future sea trade plan, and after summing up, he told Li Dan: "In this way, you can use your gold as the share capital, and you can choose to continue to invest in dividends every year." In addition, you can become an employee of the company, which is the time of creation, and there is a shortage of people in all aspects. The company's own promotion and dividend distribution process, as long as it is done well, it is unknown whether it will be able to enter the decision-making level in the future. ”

"Again, we have a strong share capital and guns as backers, and you don't have to worry about repeating the mistakes of the past in Luzon, we are talking about contracts and laws."

After speaking, he took out a large stack of internal dividends, promotions and decision-making regulations based on Nanyang Trading Company, which Li Dan did not understand, and roughly said a few articles, so that Li Dan could rest assured.

In fact, Li Dan is not at ease, even if Chen Jian says that the sky is falling, he will be suspicious. At home, he was a lamb to the slaughter, and it was the same when he went to Luzon, and he had some fear of this kind of thing.

But after thinking about it for a long time, he felt that this might be the best choice at this time, the other party had guns and strength, and he also had a good relationship with Daming, and Chen Jian also gave him a good impression, with a broad vision and a clear mind, so he had a hunch that this force had great potential in the future.

Of course, this potential has not yet reached the concept of subversive world, but only the huge potential of trade in this area. At this time, the Dutch had just set foot in Luzon, the strength of the Spaniards in Luzon was just like that, Japan was forbidden to trade by the Ming Dynasty, and Taiwan was a place north of the Ryukyus, which was an excellent transit point.

As long as you get the trade license of Daming, this location is extremely perfect. If you want to smuggle, you can go to Japan. If you have ambitions, you can jam the strait and put an end to the rest of the smuggling ships. If you have the strength to fight for hegemony, you can also go to sea to plunder and harass the cargo ships heading to Luzon.

He is also a person who has read books, and knows that taking refuge at the time of grass creation is completely different from taking refuge when the general trend has been achieved, from Henkel to Zhu Ming Taizu, although it is not the same thing, but the essence is still the same.

After thinking about it, he agreed, and Chen Jian signed a document with him, and now that the company has not been established, the issue of share capital will be discussed later, so let him go ashore to learn the language of these people first.
