Something happened in Johor.

Hao Zheng narrowed his eyes and looked at the report. Johor borders Dingnan Province, which is actually the Malaysian country in later generations.

There are also many Chinese people there, and many people gather in the Malacca area. Since the strait is Sumatra and Sanfoqi, which guards the passage between the Tianzhu Sea and the West, most of the Chinese here mainly trade in sea trade. They traffic in various places and travel around the country. Some are doing small business in Malacca and other prefectures of Johor. Some are poor, either doing footwork or making friends with others. Because there are many ethnic groups there, the number of Chinese people is more than Dingnan Province.

Similarly, there, because Chinese people are naturally hard-working and good at ease, many Chinese businessmen have accumulated a lot of wealth. In addition, the rise of Lang Son, which is dominated by Han people in recent years, these Chinese rely on the convenience of language and customs to get the moon first, and monopolize the many trades between Lang Son and Johor, so their wealth is increasing day by day, many of which are rich enough to rival the country.

What happened in Johor this time was not because these Chinese were bullied.

In fact, since the collapse of Siam, the treatment of Chinese and Chinese businessmen in Western countries has improved a lot. All countries have become a little afraid of these "relatives" of the Hao family, and therefore all the humiliation and humiliation of wanton humiliation as before have been restrained, and they are even willing to give Chinese and Chinese businessmen equal treatment.

After all, this world is not an era of looking at faces. It’s just a fist. In the past, Chinese and Chinese businessmen had no fists, so they couldn’t help but feel angry. But now, with a big gun stand like the Hao family here, their status is gradually increasing.

This incident was a big deal. It is said that someone directly attacked the prefectures of several Johor countries, and the soldiers and horses of Johor countries had gathered together. It was very important to prepare for wars and wars.

But the root of this problem is actually not in Johor, but in Dingnan Province.

The incident is ridiculous. Dingnan Province now has no king and the court has not sent additional governors, so this power is actually in charge of the government affairs. The so-called government affairs are nothing more than the so-called people from all walks of life who recommend the election to discuss politics and then the chief minister is appointed to take charge of government affairs.

After the capital quota was released in Dingnan, the upper officials and nobles were satisfied. No matter what, with this, they at least maintained their status. However, the capital quota also stipulated that all merchants who were willing to pay a deposit of 80,000 silver silver were also qualified to discuss politics. In this way, a large number of Chinese merchants flocked in. If they were to play with blood, Chinese merchants would naturally be far from the old bureaucrats and nobles. However, if they played with the number of people, the Chinese merchants began to show their methods.

They founded newspapers and publicized widely, and often made a big noise and fuss about policies that benefited themselves. At the same time, they took the money and were in a large number of collusion with other people who were in charge of the government. In a short time, many bills that were beneficial to trade were passed. Not only that, even Wutai, who was elected as chief minister, did not dare to underestimate the power of Chinese merchants, and even less dared to underestimate their demands, because once they aroused opposition from Chinese merchants, with nearly 30% of their strength in the government bureau, it would be enough to disrupt a policy, causing the division of the government bureau, and made Wutai unable to move forward.

In addition, Wu Tai started his business by killing the Siam King, and was most worried that the descendants of the Siam King would restore the throne, so they were very dependent on the Hao family. Behind the Chinese business and government officials, there was a vague shadow of the Hao family. How dare he underestimate this emerging and rising force?

Therefore, Dingnan passed many bills that were absolutely beneficial to Chinese businessmen one after another, free trade, cutting all checkpoints, and orders for refugees to be guilty.

The most powerful one is the order of guilt of refugees.

You should know that most of the current industries in Dingnan provide resources for workshops in Nalang Son and Jiaozhi. Therefore, large merchants often acquire mines, mine them wantonly, buy forests, cut down, and some extremely crude handicrafts, such as primary textiles, refining crude steel, etc. Their characteristics are often that the downstream of the Lang Son industrial chain are not high. Many workshops in Lang Son have large production scale and exquisite production skills, and have cultivated a large group of skilled craftsmen. Therefore, the workshops in Dingnan are not enough to compete with Lang Son and even Jiaozhi. However, some people have thought of a solution, which is to lower the wages and fill the gap in the lowest-end market. However, the problem arises again. Because the wages are too low and the working time is too long, most Siamese people are unwilling to engage in such operations.

On the other hand, due to the large amount of land annexation, the emerging big landlords obviously did not need so many tenants. Most of the migrant Han people distributed land and were unwilling to support a few more people. The landless Siamese people had to flock to the city.

On the one hand, it is difficult for them to gain a foothold in the countryside, and on the other hand, it is extremely difficult to find suitable jobs in the city, so the number of refugees naturally increases.

The crime of refugees is nothing more than the fact that refugees are lazy and often tend to gather people to cause trouble. This causes some people to rather not seek work and live a hungry life, and are willing to sway on the streets. On the other hand, a large number of workshops and forest mines cannot find labor. Then, whenever the government finds refugees, they will punish them. They will take them for the first time, then beat the boards, and then hold them again the second time, and then beat them thirty. If there is a third time, they will be the type of mob and will be hanged directly.

This decree was really unreasonable, but it was magically passed in the State Administration of Resources, and soon the merchants made a fortune.

There is no reason. In the past, in order to attract labor, they had to raise some wages. However, the increase in wages mean that their profits were thinner. But now it is different. Those refugees who are wandering all over the streets are now asking for work and forestry and mines to be taken away by grandpa and grandma, only asking for a job, not to be taken by the government, and treat them as refugees. The salaries of workshops and forestry and mines have not increased, but have been greatly reduced, because the more people are looking for a job, the less work they provide, the more bargaining capital they have. If you refuse to surrender, then you can see where you can accommodate you. Not to mention making money, you may even lose your life. It is said that some workshops have the so-called daily wages, but the working time is as high as seven hours, and the price of human power is much lower than that of animal power.

Various laws allow many merchants to make a lot of money. The more money the capital, the stronger the strength. Then more people use various means to enter the State Administration of Investment and Government. The greater the influence of the State Administration of Investment and Government, and the extraordinary unity, after several times, the State Administration of Investment and Government were all the minions of the State Administration of Investment and Government, and the government orders were almost out of the State Administration of Investment and Government.

It is precisely because of the influence of Dingnan merchants that people everywhere become restless.

Those merchants who were bullied in the past suddenly discovered that there was such a "beautiful" world in this world. Naturally, the "good governance" in Dingnan began to spread privately. Chen Xue has expanded its influence in recent years and has put forward many ready-made slogans, such as business, such as businessmen's discussion on politics, and private property is inviolable. Therefore, these theories are not only deeply rooted in the hearts of merchants, but also ordinary people who are tired of aristocratic rule are also unclear and regarded them as treasures.

Johor was the most affected and began to attack. A group of merchants led the way in Malacca and asked the king of Johor to set up a government bureau to discuss national affairs with the people. The people here are naturally similar to the scholars' umbrellas. Scholars claim to be the people, and merchants generally claim to be the people, but no matter what, the new slogan is glamorous after all, and these merchants have enough influence. They attack together, and immediately

The Johor Prince was panicked. If it were in the past, of course, he would immediately raise troops without saying a word. However, now, the Johor country did not dare to take the blame for the world, for fear of causing a rebound from the Ming Dynasty and the Hao family, so he decided to appease him and discussed with the leader of the confession several times, such as giving some merchants, especially Chinese businessmen, to enhance their status and granting some titles, and wanting to divide them. Johor merchants, who only tasted the sweetness of Dingnan Province, were not willing to give in and pressed them step by step.

The nobles in Johor are not fools. If they really set up a consultation board, it would be like giving up their privileges and giving them to these merchants, and they would naturally refuse.

As a result, the situation became serious, and chaos occurred in many cities with prosperous trade. These were all done by radicals. They carried gunpowder and suppressed many governments. Johor also made a quick decision and determined to suppress them. A large number of officers and soldiers began to dispatch and arrested many rebels. However, their tough measures did not suppress the matter, but immediately made the people in Johor even more boiling. A group of people who claimed to be free trade gathered together, raised the capital bureau and elected the chief minister of Johor. Immediately, the chief minister of the Chinese origin immediately issued the first decree of the capital bureau, calling for all means to fight against the royal court. If necessary, the king of Johor could be directly deposed and returned to the people.

this……

Hao Zheng looked at the report and rubbed his temples. He suddenly realized that the world was really crazy.
