Chapter 148 Jianjun Port

Quanzhou, Fujian.

Five days later, Yinzhen ordered people to release news that he would collect 20,000 shi of rice in Xinghua Prefecture, Zhangzhou Prefecture and Quanzhou Prefecture, but the price was lower than 20% of the market price.[.]

While the big households were still hesitating, the big households with children in the navy began to sell grain enthusiastically. When the big households reacted, the 20,000 indicators of each government were already snatched away, and the market grain prices began to plummet. Seeing their wealth shrinking day by day, the grain merchants were anxious to get angry.

The news of immigrants entering Taiwan released by Yinzhen began to spread rapidly from the coast to the mountainous areas. Pardoning the innocent is a hope for the hungry people, while immigrants entering Taiwan are a hope for stability and prosperity for them. After the two news spread one after another, a large number of violent and hungry people began to walk out of the mountainous areas in an orderly manner under the leadership of the yamen runners from various teams entering the mountains to promote the promotion, and gathered at designated locations outside the three capitals of Xinghua, Zhangzhou and Quanzhou.

While sending Lan Li to lead his army to block the passes from the mountains to prevent the large and small groups of hungry people from taking the opportunity to return to the coast. On the other hand, Yinzhen urgently ordered all officials from all over the three prefectures to dispatch all kinds of crops to rush to plant various famine crops in the plains. At the same time, he also transported hungry people to sea to Taiwan every day at Quanzhou Port.

On May 20, Kangxi allowed 300,000 hungry people from Fujian to immigrate to Taiwan, and the decree that officials and the people brought their families to Taiwan was passed to Quanzhou.

The entire Quanzhou city immediately became thrilled, and the news of 300,000 hungry people immigrating to Taiwan had already been heard. The news that people could bring their families to Taiwan was too exciting, which means that they could settle down in Taiwan.

The jubilant crowd immediately spontaneously surrounded the Admiral's Mansion, and the cheers came one after another. The Quanzhou Prefect Liu Kan, with officials of all sizes in Quanzhou, kowtowed in front of the gate of the Admiral's Mansion to thank the 14th Prince, Prince Xun, and Yinzhen.

When the people saw this, they kowtowed one after another. The street in front of the Admiral's Mansion immediately knelt in a dark way. Yinzhen hurried out and hurriedly walked out, but was stopped by Dachun at the gate. Dachun bowed and said, "Master, there are too many people outside, and there are no people to check the commanding heights around it. It's too dangerous."

Bahai also followed and said, "Master, the situation is really too complicated, and the servants didn't have time to prepare for a while."

Yinzhen thought about it and said that if he brought too many people, he was afraid that he would scare the people. If he brought too few people, it was really difficult to protect himself. After pondering for a while, he said disappointedly: "Go out and call Liu Kan in, and someone else called Shi Shiqing."

As soon as Liu Kan entered the door, he respectfully knelt down and kowtowed four times, "I will take the thousands of people in Fujian to thank the prince for his kindness."

"Get up and tell the people to disperse. This is the emperor's kindness. If you want to thank him, please tell them to thank the emperor." Yinzhen said warmly.

Shi Shixian came quickly. After entering the door to greet him, he smiled and said, "It's still the prince's energy. The court's policy toward Taiwan has been continued for nearly 30 years. As soon as the prince arrived in Fujian, he changed it. Now the people of Fujian are very happy."

"This credit is the emperor. I dare not greed for the achievements of heaven. Otherwise, it would be another serious crime when the situation is met." Yinzhen corrected with a smile: "I asked you to discuss the issue of resettlement of hungry people. The 300,000 hungry people entered Taiwan. The Taiwan Mansion would not accept it for a while. I plan to resettle them and use them by the way.

Fengshan and Zhuluo counties are one in the south and one in the north. I heard that they are both excellent ports. I plan to divide the hungry people into two and send them to these two places, expand the ports, and the full opening of Taiwan is already a matter of time. With the development of Taiwan, the existing ports will definitely not be able to meet the expanding demand.

In addition, for the future stability of Taiwan, we must expand these two ports. I have no time to handle this matter, and I have to trouble Shi Junmen. If these two ports are opened, half of the docks must be left as the ocean-going fleet and the military port of the Fujian Navy."

"I have not been honored." Shi Shixiu replied with a bow, raised his head but smiled, "I have no problem with my subordinates in doing their best, but I have no money."

"You don't have to worry about money, I will send someone to take care of it." Yinzhen smiled and said, "From tomorrow, we will start to transport large quantities of hungry people into Taiwan."

As soon as Shi Shipiao left, a personal guard reported, "Report to the prince, Fujian and Zhejiang Governor Fan Shichong, Fujian Governor Huang Bingzhong and other Fujian officials came to visit."

"Let them come in." After Yinzhen gave the order, he thought for a moment, and still kept in and out of the sign-in room with a reserved attitude and stood at the door. Since these senior officials came to Quanzhou, they should not be empty-handed. They were all demoted to level five and remained in their posts. If they didn't exert some effort, it would be difficult for this level to recover.

Fan Shichong and Huang Bingzhong brought a group of officials into the yard. When they saw Yinzhen standing under the eaves of dripping water, they hurriedly stepped forward and knelt down, "Slave (messy), Fan Shichong, Huang Bingzhong respectfully invited the saints."

"Sage," Yinzhen said lightly after receiving the ceremony.

After the imperial envoy's etiquette, the crowd gave Yinzhen a new tribute. After the ceremony, Yinzhen reached out and handed over the crowd into the signing room. After the seat, Fan Shichong took the lead and said: "The hungry people in Fujian riots, the Xiaguan and others were unable to suppress the suppression, which affected Prince Xun's personal visit to Fujian to recruit the comfort. The Xiaguan was really ashamed. At this time, he came to Quanzhou and raised the crowd everywhere, bringing 4,000 elite troops and 50,000 stones of rice to the prince to recruit the comfort."

Hearing that he had brought 4,000 elite soldiers and 50,000 stones of rice, Yinzhen nodded slightly, thinking that these officials were quite tactful, and immediately said, "I'm sorry, but 300,000 hungry people have entered Taiwan. As long as you respond to the subsequent resettlement, you still need to worry. After the matter is completed, I will report your contributions to the truth."

Fan Shichong and Huang Bingzhong rushed to Quanzhou, delivering food and soldiers. The picture was about Yinzhen's words. He was happy to hear this. Huang Bingzhong bowed on the chair and said, "The emperor respects the prince. All the matters of the specific resettlement are all the duties of the subordinate officials. The prince has his own orders, and the subordinate officials and others will follow."

After pondering for a while, Yinzhen said slowly: "I plan to bring hungry people into Taiwan in batches. For three months of food, grain cultivation, and agricultural tools, I can be responsible for preparation, public security, epidemic prevention, residence, wasteland division, and regional management. All these things will be troubled. The existing staff in the Taiwan Prefecture are probably too busy, so I have to draw a group of capable officials to go there."

Fan Shichong and Huang Bingzhong were so happy to see Yinzhen thinking so well, and they didn't have to think about the big money and food. It was not a trivial matter to move 300,000 hungry people to the station. If they could help Yinzhen get this matter beautifully and restore the official to the level, it would be a trivial matter. Both of them bowed and replied: "Respect the prince's instructions, and the subordinates immediately set out to arrange various matters."

As the 50,000 s of grain brought by Fan Shichong came ashore, the grain prices in southern Fujian plummeted. Just when a group of grain merchants were at a loss and were extremely anxious, Yinzhen released news and opened up the purchase at a price of one tael and six coins per stone.

When a group of grain merchants reached this point, they still dared to hesitate and took advantage of the food they had stored in their hands. Although they made less money, they were much better than being thrown into their hands. Once new grain came out, the price of grain would plummet.
