Chapter 712: Grace

Although the overall situation in Dingnan has been roughly stable, this does not mean that under the destruction of the country and the imposed capital feast, the original Siamese subjects could enjoy it. {wx}

The stability of the overall situation only lies in the strong strength of the Ming army, and at the same time, it also attracts certain specific classes.

Of course, the benefits given to them are limited, nothing more than continuing to maintain some privileges of them. This certainly cannot satisfy everyone, but once they make a mistake in their plans, they will resolutely suppress them.

Nowadays, there will be some rebellions every now and then. Most of the rebels are under the banner of the former Siam King. Therefore, in this political situation, the voice of resolute suppression has always occupied the mainstream.

At this point, Hao Zheng was also determined, for no reason. The Hao family had already spent millions of silver in Dingnan. If these silvers go on, they must be rewarded ten or even hundreds of times. How could they be affected by these rebellions and their own profits?

At the end of the meeting of the Ministry of Public Affairs, everyone was still not satisfied. Someone whispered and discussed fiercely. For the Siamese people who were not convinced by the King of Dingnan, the entire Langsan and even Jiaozhi were all in the same hatred for the enemy. Chen Xue even directly announced that those people were rustic and propaganda were everywhere, saying that these rustic men and sisters were friends, and they also ate human flesh and harmed the Han people. Therefore, both the upper chaebols, great scholars, and even the lower ranks of ordinary people were filled with orders to kill all the people.

Some large merchants simply issued rewards and killed Tuman, and could receive rewards based on their heads. This approach is obviously a bit radical, but for the large chaebols who purchased hundreds of thousands of acres of fertile land and countless mountains and forests in some rebellious areas, it is obvious that banning the rebels was the only way.

Therefore, a large number of mercenaries began to appear, and many people began to discover. The so-called rebels were simply mobs, armed with dozens of people, holding new muskets and swords in their hands. As long as nothing unexpected happens, they can defeat hundreds of rebels, especially the rotating muskets, which are most effective. With several such short guns on their bodies, more than ten people cannot get close to them at all, and as long as they kill a few, the others will scatter.

In addition, Dingnan did not strictly prevent firearms. Many caravans, workers who built railways, and some mine exploration teams were allowed to carry short guns as long as they were Han people. In this way, this kind of private hunting of rebels was constantly banned.

For the Duke's Mansion, the most headache is that it is "inadvertently injured". With weapons and reward silver, people will inevitably commit crimes. Where can they divide the rebels and good people, and it is not uncommon to kill good people.

The suppression must be suppressed, but the Gong Mansion is not in a hurry. The most important thing at the moment is the railway problem. As long as the railway is built into Dingnan and extended to the various prefectures, Lang Son's control over Dingnan can be strengthened a hundred times. From then on, whenever there is a rebellion in any place, the military horses that can be allocated from various places can gather within three to five days, pass the train, and immediately eliminate the rebellion before it has expanded.

The only thing that is thankful is that there are quite a few naturalized Siamese people. Chen Xue’s school has sprung up like mushrooms after a rain. Those fierce Chen Xue members who responded to the call to spread Chen Xue are now spread all over Dingnan, spreading Chinese, and spreading Chen Xue’s propositions.

Many Chinese children have already entered school one after another, and even some Siamese people have sent their children in.

In the Dingnan prefectures, due to the influx of a large number of Han people, more and more people speak Chinese in many places. Now, for the public administration, everything is obviously a matter of time.

Jiaozhi's development has now entered a booming period. A large number of people have moved in, a large number of workshops are in urgent need of expansion, railway construction, schools, and trade expansion, here, everything is busy, everyone begins to feel like a whip hanging behind their heads, the lazy attitude towards life that used to be gone, and the gentle behavior of the past has also been wiped out, and replaced by the faster and faster pace of life.

There are many reasons for this. The most important reason is that the shackles of class solidification have been completely broken and the old system has fallen apart. In the past, civil servants were civil servants, craftsmen were craftsmen, scholars were scholars, and nobles were nobles. If that was not possible, most people, no matter how hard you work, when you are in what background, your descendants will always be like this for generations. But now, life has undergone earth-shaking changes. A boy who is not famous may get rich overnight because of a good-looking business. Or you may have a sudden idea and suddenly improve.

After a certain craft, he can immediately get rid of the predicament. If a craftsman has good craftsmanship and good popularity, he can bring a few old brothers out to start a new job. Perhaps it will take not long before he can keep his back on his back. Even if he writes poems and lyrics, once popular, he can immediately change his destiny and make a poor scholar with a reputation as a good scholar. Everything is changing, because here, the world can no longer be in the secular world. This is a world that speaks with money. As long as you have silver, you have everything. Everyone is making money. Some people have more people, some have few people, and some rely on cheating, but more people work hard.

More importantly, it is actually the heart of the people. In the old society, you were a noble and noble. Then, from childhood to birth, what you saw and heard was a world of noble and noble. The friends you contacted, your relatives, and the environment you live in were magnificent everywhere, and there were wealth and honor everywhere.

And if you are an ordinary person, in your market, you will always be filled with shit and urine, and the smell is not heard. All you know is a group of paupers, just a group of people with nothing.

But on this new land, the changes are obvious. The most eternal topic here is, look at the son of a certain family. This boy who used to pick up steamed buns on the ground has become rich now. It is said that he has run a workshop, not only married, but also taken a concubine. It is said that he bought a house in Lang Son, and he went in and out. He saw that there was no carriage. It was a new carriage made by Tongda Carriage Store. It was not bumpy at all when sitting inside.

This family made a fortune, and those who made it, although these people were still a minority, and even their fortunes were actually a bit ridiculous. In the eyes of the chaebols who were rich enough to compete with the country, they were not even considered rich families, but for those at the bottom who worked from nine to five and could hardly save too much money every day, they were extremely jealous.

What is the guy named Chen? He used to be like me, jumping around in the stinky ditch with his bare butt. His mind is not as good as me. He only read a few words in a shallow way. In the past, he had no rice at home and came to my house to ask for bread. He could make a fortune, but why did I do this?

Thinking of this, the psychological imbalance becomes unbalanced. This kind of class solidification is broken and it makes people feel itchy. The emotions are diverse, jealousy, ridiculed, but more are whipping. As a result, people become increasingly restless. They make money and earn money, but not money. This life is really a waste of time. So literate people are thinking about poetry every day, thinking about what kind of career can be tried, craftsmen think about starting a new job, or trying every means to improve their craftsmanship. Everyone is crazy looking for opportunities to change their destiny. Some people succeed, and most people achieve nothing.

But this does not mean that such things have no positive meaning. At least as people begin to become snobbish, the efficiency of social production is much faster than that of other places.

Hao Zheng saw what happened in Lang Son. He was the witness here and now the master here. Now he became familiar with any affairs in Lang Son. Before he knew it, he had become a capital channel. When he returned from the Ministry of Finance, less than half a mile away, there were many people coming to visit him. These people wanted to get a share of the huge wealth of the Ministry of Public Wealth through various channels. Some people consciously had an excellent creation and urgently needed the financial support of the Ministry of Public Wealth. Some people lobby for the interests of a certain business. Generally, at this time, Hao Zheng mostly wanted to meet guests one by one. Although he was always tired after a day, he was happy about it because this was his own thing. Every guest he met here could strengthen the Hao family.

But today is different because the imperial edict has come.

The whole house of the Duke's mansion was already in chaos, and the staff and many servants in the mansion gathered together, led by Hao Zheng, and everyone bowed to the incense table together.

The angel who came from afar took out the imperial edict, solemn and dignified, but he never showed any arrogance. He knew in his heart that the person who was bent at his feet was extraordinary and he could not provoke him.

Then a loud voice sounded: "The Emperor Fengtian Chengyun, and the imperial edict said: Duke Lu Hao Zheng..."
