Chapter 1140 Long-term plan
The Dengzhou government held two diametrically opposed perceptions of Haihan, a group of foreign visitors, and the opposition even showed a tougher attitude at one point, believing that Haihan's arrival was tantamount to invading Ming Dynasty, and they should be expelled from Shandong. .However, people's opinions are mostly in favor of Haihan, and there is no other reason. Haihan basically solved the two major problems that have plagued Fukuyama County for several years in the first month after he came here: bandits and refugees.
For local governments that are short of soldiers and food, it is almost impossible to solve these two problems by their own strength without the full support of the imperial court, and there are also some objective problems that are not easy to see. The reasons for these two historical issues have remained in Dengzhou for a long time, and the situation in Fushan County is just a microcosm of them.In this troubled world, there are very few local tyrants with the ability to protect themselves. When the government cannot provide sufficient security, the incapable can only choose to flee their homes or submit to it, while some people with family background and ideas will naturally Try to find a new backer—such as the Haihan people who just used the Wanjia Army as a sacrifice not long ago to prove their strength.
In the eyes of the locals, Haihan is far less threatening than the bandit armed forces and foreign troops stationed in Dengzhou. After they came to Fushan County, they did not force food and money from the locals by force. He paid out of his own pocket to solve the food problem of the local refugees, and at the same time took the initiative to send troops to expel the Wanjia army, basically restoring the normal security situation in Fushan County.After the bold landowners and squires came into contact with Haihan, they soon discovered that this group of people was much more interested in doing business than fighting, and the two sides had many common interests. For example, cooperation in land ownership was one of them. .
The situation in Shandong is different from that in the south. Due to the rebellion that occurred in Dengzhou two years ago, the Ming court is more sensitive to the security situation here. , that would most likely arouse Daming's hostility and cause some unnecessary troubles.
Of course, Haihan also has another mature plan to deal with this situation, which is to unite with the local landlord class to cooperate in agricultural development and economic and trade. Simply put, it is to promote the farm system that Haihan is good at, and use cooperation to achieve Indirect control over local agricultural production and social systems.In addition to agricultural technology and start-up funds, the help that Haihan can provide is to assist the landlord class to complete the land annexation after the war. This is definitely an irresistible temptation for local landlords.
"Aren't you worried that if you support these landlords to expand now, they will become overwhelmed in the future?" Tian Yeyou asked after listening to Chen Yixin's explanation.
"How to change the thinking of these people and let them slowly change their allegiance, then it's not all the work of our military, we have to let the propaganda agencies and civil affairs departments take the lead." Chen Yixin spread his hands: "The dignitaries who cooperate with us in the south Quite a few, didn’t many people join our camp slowly? It’s nothing more than interests, as long as they are in line with our interests, they will naturally protect us.”
"It makes sense!" Tian Yeyou nodded thoughtfully, agreeing to Chen Yixin's statement.However, he immediately returned to the original topic: "The squire who plans to marry you must have a lot of family background, right?"
Chen Yixin said: "In terms of family property, it is probably the largest family in the county. This family moved into the county during the Denglai Rebellion, and they didn't move back until we wiped out the Wanjiajun recently. own house."
Tian Yeyou said: "To be honest, if you want to stay in North China for a long time, it is not a bad thing to find a suitable family in the local area to get married. At least you can have family members to take care of your daily life. Also, since we are in the Haihan system Among them, some things have to be considered in the long run, not only for yourself, but also for future generations."
Chen Yixin didn't understand what he meant, so he could only respond vaguely: "Aren't I still young? I don't need to follow the rules of this era and rush to start a family and have children!"
Seeing that he didn't understand what he meant, Tian Yeyou shook his head with a smile and said, "Why don't you learn, but want to learn how Uncle Morgan plays single nobles?"
Morgan coughed dryly and said, "Speak up, I just don't plan to start a family again, how can I become a negative model?"
Morgan is a rare celibate among the time-traveling crowd. He has been in this time and space for more than seven years. He doesn't even have a bed-warming girl, so many people have doubted his sexual orientation, but Morgan himself said This celibacy follows the "God's decision" and does not intend to change it.After a long time, everyone gradually got used to his choice. After all, everyone has made such an unusual decision to join the time-traveling operation. It stands to reason that this is a choice that really violates common sense.
Tian Yeyou did not respond to Morgan's explanation, but instead asked Chen Yixin another question: "Do you know how many people have chosen to intermarry with aboriginals in recent years, and have families and children?"
Chen Yixin has been dispatched to the Pearl River Estuary since the second year of time travel, and spent most of his time outside of Hainan. In fact, there are not many traveler partners that he can get in touch with. What he mentioned to Tian Yeyou This question is really unclear, so I can only shake my head to express my ignorance.
Tian Yeyou said: "From the beginning, until now, the number of people who have intermarried with indigenous people has reached three digits, and at least one or two hundred children have been born. Do you think the situation you are encountering now is special? No, then It’s just because you have been stationed on various islands before, almost all dealing with the big men in the army, it is difficult to have the opportunity to contact the society for a long time.”
Chen Yixin was puzzled and said, "I can understand things like getting married and having children. After all, most people will take the succession of their families as part of their mission in life, but is there a need to hurry? I didn't come to participate in the time-traveling operation to run to It’s just a time to get married.”
"Oh, you are really young!" Tian Yeyou couldn't help but shook his head again: "Do you think these people are in a hurry to get married and have children just to meet their biological needs and complete the task of carrying on the family line? You think too simply!"
"Then what's the reason?" Chen Yixin was confused. He really hadn't thought about this issue, and he didn't know any other unknown ways in the process.
Tian Yeyou said slowly: "Our generation, after all, has a limited time to be in power. In the future, there will always be a time when we need to hand over power to future generations. Who do you think will take over the power of Haihan? Of course it is We are the offspring of people! It doesn’t matter if you get married and have children a few years later, but maybe when your child is still learning Chinese, my child has already practiced in an agency. Think about it, is this the truth? "
Chen Yixin is also a smart person, so Tian Yeyou can naturally express what the other party wants to express when he talks to this extent.According to Tian Yeyou, the purpose of some people in rushing to get married and have children is not to fulfill their life missions, but to plan ahead for the next generation or even the next few generations, so that their families can grow and grow simultaneously with the Haihan regime , has remained in the ruling class for a long time.
One step at a time, one step at a time, and people's layout early, so when the next generation competes for the opportunity to take power, they will naturally be able to occupy a more favorable position in advance.There is nothing wrong with this kind of thing, after all, people are selfish, and it is reasonable to plan for their own offspring, not to mention that it does not violate the existing laws and rules of Haihan.
Chen Yixin smiled wryly: "I really didn't think about this before...Brother Tian, you became a family when you were in Heitugang. Could it be that you have already planned this?"
Tian Yeyou said seriously: "Do you think I am such a scheming person? To be honest, I didn't think so much when I got married. At that time, I didn't even plan to go back to Hainan Island. Anyway, I don't have to worry about food and clothing. The place in Halong Bay The mountains are beautiful and the water is pollution-free, so I just thought about spending the rest of my life there. Later, when I was transferred back to Hainan to explore the Shilu Iron Mine, some big bosses from the executive committee took the initiative to talk to me and said that they could send their children to Going back to Sanya to train here, it would be better to arrange majors and outlets earlier in the future. It was only then that I suddenly realized that the big bosses had already planned for the next generation. If I don’t follow the trend of history, then At most, the descendants will be the rich second generation, and one or two generations later, they may have no political capital at all. At that time, will the descendants of my Tian family complain that I, the founding hero of Haihan, are too stupid, except for a little money. There is no other shadow left."
Tian Yeyou's idea is very philistine, but it is also very practical. Chen Yixin has to admit that if he were in Tian Yeyou's position, he would probably have similar considerations.Whether the Tian family will disappear or remain in the ruling class after a hundred years depends on Tian Yeyou's arrangement.
Morgan replied, "What you said was actually told to me before, but I don't even plan to have offspring, so I don't think about these issues."
"It would be a pity that there will be no Morgan family among the rulers of Haihan Kingdom from now on." Chen Yixin replied jokingly.
Morgan shrugged: "It won't affect the country's prospects. It's no big deal."
Morgan's idea is a special case among the traversers, it is not universal, and its reference value is very limited.After Chen Yixin listened to Tian Yeyou's explanation, he was actually more inclined to pave the way for future generations in advance.However, Chen Yixin still doesn't have a clear idea about the criteria for choosing a marriage partner, so he is not in a hurry to get a result.
Chen Yixin said: "Actually, Brother Tian, the mines you have explored over the years are your greatest political capital, and there is no need to return to Sanya to settle down and become a politician."
Tian Yeyou said with a smile: "Politicians want to intrigue and play tricks, and an honest person like me can't do it. Besides, if I wanted to be a politician, I wouldn't have traveled so far to Shandong to mine mines. My business is actually similar to that of your soldiers. I am away all the year round. Running here and there is just a peaceful way to fight. When my children grow up... I'd better train them to be politicians, it's not so tiring."
Most of the people who travel through the Haihan system act as technical leaders in various fields, and those who are actually engaged in administrative affairs management are only a small group of people represented by members of the executive committee. These people are at the top of the pyramid of power The high-ranking figures are naturally very enviable, but Tian Yeyou also knows that not everyone has the ability to secure these positions, and it is basically impossible for him to climb to that height, but this hope can be pinned on the next generation.When the power changes from generation to generation, those with strong abilities will definitely have a better chance of being in power.
The three of them rode on horseback and talked while walking. After traveling westward for about two hours, they arrived at the predetermined location.The copper mine is located on a gentle slope, about [-] meters above sea level.Arrive here ahead of time to clear the field. The army company has lined up on the hillside to meet them, waiting for their arrival.
"How's the situation here?" After Chen Yixin returned a military salute to the company commander leading the team, he went straight to the point.
The company commander responded: "The nearest village is about one mile to the southwest, but there are not many families left, and the whole village has only forty or fifty people. The subordinates took people to check and found out that they are all honest people. The peasant households rely on growing grain for a living, so there should be no problem. In addition, according to them, the Wanjia army has withdrawn from this area for a while, and has not been active in the mountains recently. The warning area designated by the subordinates is Fangyuan Wuli, so far no enemy has been found."
"Well done." Chen Yixin praised without hesitation.
What the Zhifu Island Command is most worried about about this copper mine is not the problem of production capacity or mining technology, but the safety of the mine.This used to be an area where the activities of the Wanjia Army were relatively rampant. It is difficult to guarantee whether there will be remnants of the Wanjia Army in the nearby mountains. That's why the military sent troops to step on the plate first, and arranged for two generals, Chen Yixin and Morgan, to escort the prospectors. team.
However, Tian Yeyou took the safety issue quite lightly. After arriving here, he only rested for a while, and then led his men into the hillside forest, and began to dig ore samples based on the information he had.Due to the clear purpose and sufficient preparation, the exploration operation organized by Tian Yeyou was extremely efficient, and malachite, which symbolizes the existence of chalcopyrite, was found on the surface at noon that day.After an afternoon of fixed-point excavation, someone dug out the first piece of shiny yellow copper ore before the sun went down.After Tian Yeyou's identification, it was determined that this is a chalcopyrite ore with a copper content of more than 50%.
