Chapter 677: Devouring Siam

This palace gate copy is the palace newspaper, which is copied by the cabinet, including palace dynamics, official promotions, etc. Because it is copied out from the palace gate, and the officials of the world often have to report this newspaper to pay attention to the movements of the palace and the court. Because of this, the content of this newspaper is often high-sounding because it has to be verified and confirmed by the cabinet, but behind this regular information, it often reveals all kinds of information.

People who can understand can naturally understand, and if they can't understand the clouds, they also feel boring, but once they understand, they are often of great benefit to their future, follow the footsteps of the court, and see the direction of the wind, which is the most important element of the court officials.

And now, the Di newspaper in recent days is very interesting.

In the midst of everyone's scolding, His Majesty personally affirmed Hao Fenglou, this affirmation was obviously deliberate, and His Majesty's mouth deliberately said four words - 'Brave and loyal'. These four words seem to be nothing, but it must be known that in the Di newspaper, it is often very rare for the palace to praise a person by name, and it is unusual to deliberately circle Hao Fenglou and not say it, but also deliberately add these four words.

Because the palace commends a person, especially in the newspaper, the most important thing is diligence, the word diligence is nothing more than that you are diligent and effective. Secondly, it is the word Dunhou, Dunhou, that is, you are honest, it is ridiculous to say, for the palace, honesty is higher than diligence, because diligence is only the way you do things, and honesty involves your heart. Honest people often don't play tricks, and the officials can do things again, but they are too tactful after all.

Above the thick one. It is pure filial piety, the Ming Dynasty has always valued filial piety, and the Son of Heaven praised you for your filial piety, which is almost equivalent to saying that you are a perfect person, a moral gentleman, such people, all year round. There may not be one in the newspaper.

This is the highest level, which is to be brave and loyal, don't underestimate these four words. In fact, whether it is capable or honest, or filial piety, compared with this loyalty, it is nothing.

Moreover, after His Majesty is often qualified, the Hanlin Academy has to concoct a few articles. Around the praise of His Majesty. To say something, it is nothing more than how this Hao Fenglou is brave and loyal, of course, these articles also have to be copied into the Di Bao, everyone looked at it, and they were originally scolded, and they didn't bother to scold after that.

In fact, everyone scolded for the Son of Heaven. It's nothing more than to tell the Son of Heaven how this Hao Fenglou is treacherous. But since the Son of Heaven has already made a decision, it is clear that he has such an attitude towards Hao Fenglou, which is irreparable, and if he scolds again, he will vent his anger, so Shilin still scolds, but those imperial envoys have died down.

The will of the palace was sent to Siam.

Hao Fenglou, who was far away in Siam, received the holy decree more than 20 days later, and he did not slack off, and ordered Lang Shanwei to cooperate with the Wutai people to station in Siam, plus the Ming army in Jiaozhi entered Siam one after another, and the overall situation of Siam has been stabilized, so he set off with the Shenji Guard.

Naturally, this way has to pass through Lang Son, where it is because of the great victory of Siam, and the joy is over.

In recent years, the development of Langshan's commerce and trade has reached a bottleneck, on the one hand, there are more and more workshops, which can be described as thousands, and the competition is also extremely fierce, and the annual production of so many cloths, ironware, and wooden tools still need to be maintained by sales after all, and the sales of the Ming Dynasty are relatively stable, but the West is here because of the forest of countries, and the strategies of various countries for commerce and trade are also different, some countries levy heavy taxes on merchants, and a Langshan cloth is sold in the past. I don't know how much to eat and take the card, and so the goods are delivered to the destination, the price has already doubled several times, the price is doubled, but the price remains high, it will inevitably change from the necessities of life, into a luxury product, people who can afford it, after all, there are not many, and Siam is a vast land, the population is also numerous, but it has just become the best object of dumping, not only that, after this shock to Siam, other countries, still dare to make things difficult for businessmen? But don't forget, the Siamese crime, but bullying Chinese businessmen and blocking trade routes, if you are still the same as in the past, Lao Tzu's territory Lao Tzu is in charge, next time, it will be you who will clean up. In addition, on the Western side, it is often the Chinese merchants of various countries who are responsible for dumping goods for Lang Son, and their political status is guaranteed, so that the safety of their caravans can be guaranteed, and the demand for various goods in Lang Son in Western countries will inevitably increase dramatically in the future, which greatly alleviates the problem of goods peddling between various workshops.

On the other hand, hesitating to seize Siam, then it is inevitable, many minerals and forest farms in Siam have become the target of everyone's competition, originally everyone did not dare to buy land in Siam, the acquisition of mines, forest farms, because no one knows, when the Siamese country will change, or people in foreign countries to do business, will inevitably be exploited and squeezed by the local government, now the situation is very different, but all Han people, Chinese, have a talisman on their bodies, this Langshan and even the merchants of Jiaozhi are all wrapped in their waists, It is said that in Siam, a mine, is only a few thousand taels of silver, but in Cochin, the value may be ten times, the same acre of land, if it is more than 100 taels in Cochin, but in Siam, even if it is good land, it is only seven or eight taels.

All of a sudden, the whole Lang Son businessmen are crazy, there are as many as 100,000 merchants here, in recent years crazy accumulation of wealth, which people are not all a lot of silver in their hands, and that Siam is undeveloped in women's land, which is quite like the so-called Hong Kong businessmen in later generations, when they entered the mainland when they were reopened, at that time, these people held large sums of money in their hands, flocked to set up factories, millions of yuan, they could occupy a large amount of land, recruit dozens of workers.

Countless commercial houses have gone to Siam, everywhere are buying mines, forest farms, some of the commercial houses are rich, directly hundreds of thousands of taels of silver smashed out, enclosure of 10,000 acres, but these people do not smash a glance, even the Hao family, can not avoid vulgarity, the Hao family's business house has sent people to contact, this time it is 500,000 taels of silver, almost the purchase of a province's fertile land, as well as mountains and forests, and both to open mines, logging and even build some primary workshops, then labor has become a problem, After all, for the Siamese natives, it is a rare thing to be able to eat, and it is nothing to work at high intensity for six or seven hours a day, but those clerical and foreman work, but they dare not entrust the Siamese people, and the major trading houses naturally have to hire some Han people with high salaries, and these Han people are often skilled clerks and craftsmen in Lang Son, and this time to assist the main affairs of the trading house to go, One is that the principals have to manage the industry for the proprietors, and the Han people of the same culture and species can use it with confidence, and at the same time, these documents and foremen are often familiar with the production matters, and they manage them layer by layer, so that nothing will go wrong.

In just two months, 30,000 merchants, craftsmen, clerks, and even some brokers poured into Siam, and since then there has been a steady stream of people, who have quickly merged with the local Chinese merchants and Chinese, and have become like fish in water in Siam.

At the same time, it was Chen Xue, who naturally did not sit idly by, and some people, with the assistance of the firm, had begun to purchase land on a large scale and set up Chen Xuexue, on the one hand, for the local Chinese to study, and on the other hand, to recruit some Siamese noble children to expand their influence.

The people who benefited this time can be described as a lot, the chaebols took this opportunity to make a lot of money, that is, ordinary small workshop owners, but also benefited from it, not to mention them, that is, ordinary craftsmen, but also because a large number of laborers were recruited to Siam, so that the labor force here in Lang Son was greatly reduced, and the local workshops had to add a little wages, as for the displaced people of the Ming Dynasty, the influx was even more powerful, some workshops even simply went deep into the interior to recruit people, at the moment Lang Son did not lack anything, only what was lacking was people.

Now that Lord Hao has returned to Beijing, passing through Langshan, countless people have greeted him.

Such a grand occasion even made a person speechless.

This person is Xia Yuanji, who was sent to Langshan.

Xia Yuanjiliu is mated with toe, and now he is trekking through mountains and rivers, and what he sees and hears along the road is also rare.

When he crossed Jiangxi and other places, it was really supported by 10,000 people, and the local gentry and scholars were almost all waiting for him ten miles away, but when he arrived in Huguang and other places, there were obviously fewer people to greet him, and after Guangxi, all of a sudden, he was a person who was in the limelight, and suddenly became a phoenix on the ground, and the gentleman on the temple was worthless, no one cared about it, no one respected, and everyone thought he didn't save zĂ i, and the people who escorted him felt incredible, and complained for a long time, because before that, Everywhere Xia Yuanji passed, there were many people who secretly stuffed silver for these dukes, which was nothing more than asking these dukes to take care of this Xia Xianggong, but when he stepped into Guangxi, he couldn't get a penny, but when he arrived at Langshan, although no one greeted him, Yang Shiqi and Hao Zheng, the Duke of Luguo, still came forward.

The location of Xia Yuanji's assignment is Langshan, that is to say, when he arrives at the location, it is Lu Guogong who arranges it, whether to let him go to the army to do chores, or let him do coolies, all of them are all respectful, Hao Zheng did not embarrass him, but asked this Xia Yuanji to serve as a clerk in Weizhong, draft some official documents, and be at ease.
