Chapter 960 From Indentured Slaves to Colonists

"official?"

Wu Chengju swallowed his spit. He had long wanted to be an official. He had thought about it since he was a child and dreamed of it. After decades of thinking about it, he had never thought of an official. Mobile phone m.

Now that I am old, I have the opportunity to become an official?

"Seventh brother," Wu Chengju asked hurriedly, "Is Xuan Shuai going to protect me as an official?"

Wu Chengchang smiled: "As long as you are willing to do things for Xuan Shuai, what is the calculation of an official?"

"Doing things?" Wu Cheng raised his eyebrows and frowned slightly, "Seventh brother, don't joke, Xuan Shuai has some talented men around Yuntai. What can I do if I go?"

"There are things that talented men in Yuntai cannot do," Wu Chengchang smiled. "For example, if hundreds of small farmers are forced to desperate and sell themselves as slaves, they will not do it."

"What do you mean?"

Wu Chengju's face suddenly sank. Of course, he knew that he had the name of Wu Pai, and this was not a good reputation.

"I'm all for the Wu family! And who is not in Henan Province is holding on?" Wu Chengju said coldly.

Henan Prefecture is a place where bureaucrats and landlords gather. Although the clear bureaucrats in the gardens in Luoyang City are almost as noble as the sky, where does their family's wealth come from? It cannot be caused by the sky, but only by exploitation. Moreover, the targets of their exploitation are mainly poor farmers, and no one is allowed to be "skinned", "skinned", "skinned", "skinned" and "skinned"?

"That's not true!" Wu Chengchang smiled, "Besides, those small farmers are not our fault!

Farming is also a business. How can you make a profit without losing money when doing business? And what kind of business is not easy to lose if you have small capital and low profits? Besides, the land in Henan Prefecture is poor, there are many farmers, and the transportation is relatively convenient. Cheap wheat from the north is transported by ship. How can small farmers compete with others? It is normal for large amounts of bankruptcy."

Not to mention, although Wu Chengchang didn’t understand economics, this is really reasonable. Farming is also a transaction, at least in most places in the Song Dynasty. Since it is a transaction, there is a loss and a profit, and there is never a transaction that only makes no profit. Some people have worked hard to dig gold and spent a lot of money to finally find it.

Of course, farming is no exception, and some people will definitely lose money. Moreover, farming depends on the weather to make a living. The weather is not good, the land is not fat, and the risk is very high. If the capital is small and the profit is low, there is no good land, and the weather is not helpful, who will not go bankrupt if such a small farmer goes bankrupt?

"That's not it!" Wu Chengju responded, "In recent years, people who farm here in Luoyang have become more and more sad. On the one hand, God is not helping, but on the other hand, the north and south are transporting grain to lower prices... The grain is low and the farmers are hurting!"

"Yes!" Wu Chengchang said, "Anyway, they can't survive in Luoyang. If they can barely be a tenant, they will be a debt-bearing person. It's better to go out and have a try!"

"Go out and fight? Where to go?"

"Go to Java!" Wu Chengchang walked to Wu Chengju, "The Hailu Maritime Manufacturing Department built 1 million acres of paddy fields in Java, all of which were so fat!"

"1 million acres... Java Country?" Wu Chengju understood, "Why are you going to recruit people from Luoyang?"

"Aren't we from Luoyang?" Wu Chengchang smiled, "Where can we find someone if we don't find someone in Luoyang?

Henan has many people and poor land, and it is the most difficult for small farmers. If you don’t go out and have a chance to go out and have to die at home! So it’s better to ask them to sign books to sell their bodies and take them all to Java. When they arrive in Java, Hailu Shuaisi’s family will divide them into thousands of acres of paddy fields and buy them at a price. Why do they make a lot of money in Henan Prefecture!”

Java Island has fertile land and sufficient precipitation. Anything that is easy to cultivate and harvest in Henan is a lot of land. And the land needs to be as much as possible, not enough to grab it... so the income from farming is absolutely guaranteed.

In the words of later generations, Henan is the red sea of ​​farming, and it is almost braised! And Java Island is the blue sea of ​​farming, the blue sea of ​​blue as blue ink!

But it is not easy to go to the blue ocean of farming. First, it is not suitable for the environment and the environment! Henan people go to Java Island, it would be strange if they don’t lose their skin.

The second is the storm of the sea. This is a life-threatening thing! Wu Haogu himself dares to go out to sea now. It is rare to go out to Shaman Island to inspect it and will not go far. Going to Java Island in Nanyang... It’s terrible to think about it!

The third is the epidemic! Although Java Island has been developed for a long time, malaria is still very popular in the local area. The farming area is not in the clean and refreshing city near the seaside, so it is very likely to be infected with malaria and die.

If you want to calculate the mortality rate of farming in Java, you will probably not be as good as a mercenary to fight against the Karakhan Dynasty and the Indian Kingdom. The latter can make money quickly if you farm...

"Okay!" Wu Chengju didn't know the risk of farming in Southeast Asia. He knew that he couldn't take care of so much. "I have this matter, I dare not say that there are too many. There are still ways for three or five hundred families. Not only do there are many farmers who owe us the King of Hell... There are also many aristocratic families in Luoyang who also have such tenants who have been owed a lot of money and cannot be paid for it for a hundred years. As long as Xuan Shuai is willing to spend money to buy their accounts, they have to work hard for Xuan Shuai. This matter is natural, and Xuan Shuai is right when he comes to the King of Heaven!"

The total population of the Song Dynasty was actually not large, and the total amount was 100 million. The conflict between people and land was not as prominent as that of the Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China in later generations. However, the development of the south during the Northern Song Dynasty was not sufficient. Originally, especially Jingdong, Jingxi and Jingji, the population was still large, so there was a certain "tenants" surplus. Sending a little will not only not affect the exploitation of the landlords, but will instead help improve the efficiency of exploitation.

Therefore, it is still feasible to spend money to "buy tenants" to become a farmer in Java. If there are too many, it should not be difficult to get a ten thousand households.

...

The territory of Khorasan Emil, Herat City.

Khorasan Emir Ahmed Sanjar of the Seljuk Empire has been stationed here since last winter.

This is also the area where history replaced the life of the Gur peoples in the northwest of India by the Gur people. In the war last year, the army led by Sanjar easily defeated the leader of the Gur people Izdin Hussein. However, he did not kill the captured Hussein, but forced him to become a vassal of the Seljuk Empire and raised food for the Seljuk army stationed in Herat City.

In Sanjar's plan, Herat City will be the advance base for him to lead his army through the onion forest mountains and enter Kashgar's lower peach blossom stone.

In order to reinforce the Karakhan Dynasty, Sanjar not only gathered half of his Gurlam warriors, about 13,000, but also ordered the Gur people, Gurs, Garzni, Sigistan, Mazandra and other vassal states to dispatch troops to assist in the war.

At the same time, he also sent envoys to Bukhara, the capital of the Western Karakhanate, and Balashagun occupied by the Khitans. He did not know that Yelu Dashi had just used a group of Khitans who were wandering in Yemili to establish his own power. His foundation was very shallow, and he thought that the latter represented the Khitan Empire. That was why he sent envoys to express friendship with Yelu Dashi.

As long as the Khitans did not march towards the Western Karakhanate, the Seljuk Empire could recognize their annexation of the Eastern Karakhanate territory.

He doesn't want to go to war with the two powerful countries of the Song Dynasty and Khitan at the same time.

The envoys have been sent for more than a month, but the echo has not arrived yet. Instead, the envoys of the Lion Khan from the Eastern Karakhan dynasty have stepped first to the ancient city of Herat.

"Dear Emir, the pagan army of peach blossom stone has arrived at the Shache Oasis, which is very close to Kashgar. Because of the long journey, they were stranded and lacked people and horses, lacked supplies, and the cattle and sheep were already thin, and the horses were very weak and could not fight.

If Emil can dispatch a large army, he will surely defeat those abominable pagans quickly. At that time, the entire peach blossom stone will crawl at your feet, and you will become the greatest conqueror in the history of the Tianfang Cult..."

Sanjar sat cross-legged on a Persian blanket, just frowned and looked at the messenger of the Peach Blossom Stone Kingdom, Ibrahim, the son of Lion Khan.

This is a very heroic young man, but I don’t know what the battlefield will be like?

"Can the army be allowed to pass now?" Sanjar asked.

"Yes! But it's very difficult." Ibrahim replied, "But as long as the Hezbollah warriors are willing to overcome difficulties, it should not be a problem! If the peach stone pagans seized Kashgar, they would definitely cross Pamir Mountain. By then, Herat will be the battlefield."

"Those peach stone troops are very good at marching?" Sanjar asked again.

"Yes," replied Ibrahim, "the army of peach stones marched with cattle and sheep. And the hillside of Pamir has the best pastures, where thin horses only need to grazing there for ten days and become fat. Then, they will kill like a devil under Herat."

There is a grassland called Yuqitash on the Pamir Plateau. It seems to be a transfer station for tourists to rest and replenish supplies, allowing people to rely on less supply to pass through the plateau.

However, Sanjar was not worried that the army of Taohua Stone would enter his territory. What really made him worried was that the Lion Khan of the Karakhan Dynasty would lead hundreds of thousands of remnants (including his family) across the Pamir Mountains, and then travel south to India through Herat and Ganiz... The Ganiz Dynasty has now fallen apart and cannot resist the invasion of the Karakhan Dynasty. Sanjar himself was also salivating at India's wealth.

If the Christians in the Earthly Sea really seized the Sinai Peninsula and the Peach Blossom Navy subdued Adam Emir, then the entire Seljuk Empire might have to rely on the Indian Asan to support it.

"Well," thought of this, Sanjar said, "Ibrahim, go back and tell Aslan Khan that my army will be dispatched soon. As long as I send the envoys to the Khitan can bring me an accurate message, whether the Khitans join the war or not, I will lead the army through the Pamir Mountains.

If the Khitans also become our enemies, then the flag of Allah will sooner or later fly in the capital of the Khitan Empire!”
