Chapter 81 My Utopia
After hearing Qiu Hui's words, Zhu and the monk laughed.
The key to building "Datong" is to be successful!
Now it is an agricultural society, and industry and commerce are just something that adds icing on the cake and can still be regarded as the foundation.
If land is scarce and everyone regards land as the lifeblood, then don’t think about building "Datong" in a place with very strong clan power like Chaozhou. Most of the land in Chaozhou is under the name of clans, and the most land is the strong clans. The strong clans in Chaozhou were still full of martial ethics during the Qing Dynasty, and often had armed fighting. They all gathered in a castle-like building.
If you want to equalize their fields, don’t they fight against you? It’s up to the third prince Zhu and the third prince Zhu can’t handle it at all.
On the contrary, the current situation of a few people and a lot of land, and the current situation of a great enemy is more conducive to the power of the entire four counties of Chaozhou using the "original Confucianism" route.
Thinking of this, Zhu Hezang smiled and told his ideas.
"Father-in-law, except for the fewer people in Chaozhou, we are all pretty good! The land is enough, and the communication between Dahao Commercial Port is a gap between China and abroad, as well as salt and sugar industries. Recently, the tiny and gunpowder have also developed right. The son-in-law has recently figured out how to make a sugarcane bagasse wine, which is also very promising."
"What? Can sugarcane bagasse still make wine? Can there be that good thing?" Qiu Hui raised his eyelids, as if he was interested.
Zhu Heying smiled and said, "Father-in-law, this sugarcane wine is not difficult to make when Shuzhen gets married, it should be produced in large quantities."
"So quickly?" Qiu Hui said, "but this wine must be aged."
Zhu Heying smiled and said, "The son-in-law has his own way to make the wine aged faster and keep it better!"
The artificial aging and incense of wine are not difficult for Zhu Hetian.
Qiu Hui nodded and smiled, "I have to taste it well!"
Zhu Heying smiled and said, "When the wine is ready, I will give you a few tanks!"
"How many tanks?" Qiu Hui laughed, "Do you want to get drunk to death?" He paused and said, "But it's a good deal to make sugarcane bagasses in Chaozhou, and there is no shortage of sugarcane bagasses!"
Zhu Hezang smiled and said, "Father-in-law, you see, we now have four industries that can make money, including salt, sugar, gunpowder, sugar cane and wine, as well as Dahao's marine trade. The money should not be too short. If we can look at it longer and save a little frugality, we can spend some money on opening factories, running schools and sorting the land. If these three things are done, we will have Datong in Chaozhou!"
Qiu Hui was a little confused when he heard it, "The land was sorted out to open a factory in Juntian. What is the relationship between running a school and Datong?"
Zhu Heying smiled and explained: "Of course it's related! Let's talk about the school first. The school is a place for teaching and educating people, and it is also a place where we preach the world to the public and the world's great harmony. If we do it well, we can not only cultivate successors for our original scholars, but also let the young people in Jieyang, Chaoyang, Chenghai and Huilai counties have books to read, and only after reading books can you have the chance to make a name for yourself!
Let’s talk about starting a factory. The son-in-law plans to start the first one, namely the four factories: the tinder factory, the gunpowder factory, the winery, and the copper casting factory. However, the son-in-law does not plan to eat alone, and he will never make enough money. Everyone makes money together and make money together is Datong!
So this series of nitrification, the technology of making granular gunpowder, making sugarcane wine, and casting copper coins and copper ware can all be passed on to the villagers in the four counties of Chaozhou. Of course, the rules of learning to become a master must be paid attention to. After the apprentices become masters, even if they have to start a business by themselves, I will support it."
After hearing Zhu Heying talk about this, Qiu Hui understood. He nodded and said, "Owning schools and factories are all for the purpose of collecting disciples and preaching skills. If the relationship between master and apprentice is complete, then he will be a person on the same boat!"
That's right!
Who is Zhu Hezhi? Zhu San Taisun! Whoever wants to take him as his teacher is Zhu San Taisun’s apprentice, Zhu San’s apprentice, and Emperor Chongzhen’s apprentice!
The third prince Zhu and the third grandson of Zhu are about to fail. Why do Emperor Chongzhen’s grandsons have to be executed in a whole family?
Moreover, the things that the Qing Dynasty did in Chaozhou over the years were indeed unauthoritable. Not to mention the Chaozhou people who were enemies of the Qing Dynasty, but how many Chaozhou people who defected to the Qing Dynasty had a good ending?
Therefore, only 10% of the master-apprentice status will be the best friends of Zhu Hetong, and naturally they will accept Zhu Hetong's "great assimilation transformation" by Zhu Hetong.
Of course, Zhu Hetian's "great assimilation" was not about breaking up the Chaozhou clan, but about to promote the great assimilation of Chaozhou based on clans. It allocates land, opens clan schools, levies taxes, corvee and military service, and supports various clans to establish handicraft workshops such as tinder factories, gunpowder factories, wineries, and copper factories. In addition, Zhu Hetian also plans to use his chemical knowledge to help Chaozhou's sea salt and sugar industries upgrade, thus forming several high-value-added advantageous industries.
In this way, Zhu Heting can not only organize the Chaozhou clans through the "Great Assimilation Transformation", but also achieve industrial upgrading and popularization of education. It is really a killing of multiple goals!
Once Chaozhou is done, the same model can be copied to the entire Guangdong.
In this era, other parts of Guangdong were similar to Chaozhou, which caused trouble for the Qing Dynasty. They were all clan society, and they had not yet completely lie down!
As long as Guangdong can be integrated into a "Datong society" and achieve per capita output value, and both income and gun ownership exceed the level of the United States, it is certainly no problem to push the Qing Dynasty.
Once the Qing Dynasty has been flattened, the "Chaozhou-style Datong" can also be promoted nationwide!
The country's population is only 30 to 40 million, and it has so much land. It also has "mid-to-high-end industries" with international competitiveness, such as silk, cotton, tea, porcelain, and sugar. There is also a group of "preparatory colonies" around it, which is no less than the United States before the Civil War!
What reason can't intercept the American Hu?
Thinking of this, the smile on Zhu Heying's face was hard to hide!
Chen Yonghua, who is responsible for managing Taiwan’s civil affairs, has been listening carefully to the words of the Zhu family father and son, Qiu Hui and others. The more he listens, the more he feels that this "great assimilation" is a big deal!
It can not only be done in Chaozhou, but also in Taiwan. The less than 200,000 people on Taiwan’s island can be regarded as 300,000 or 400,000.
Just when Chen Yonghua wanted to ask Zhu Hezhi how to do the "sweet cane bagasse wine" transaction and wanted to copy it in Taiwan, Chen Shangchuan, the "island owner" of Longmen Island in Qinzhou Bay, spoke first: "Responsible, Prince, Qiu Zhijun, this world-wide harmony can be carried out slowly. The most urgent task at the moment is how to defeat Shang Kexi, Misihan and the two Tartar soldiers! I heard that they are mobilizing soldiers from Guangdong and Fujian provinces now, and they are about to be pressed up."
The Battle of Jieyang seemed to have scared the Qing army in Guangdong. Although the leader of the Shang family army in Mianhu Village was replaced by Shang Zhixiao, this guy seemed to be even more cowardly than Shang Zhixin and lay in Mianhu Village without moving.
Guangdong Admiral Yan Ziming lay down in Puning, Chaozhou General Liu Jinzhong returned to Haiyang lay down, and Xushun Gongfu Banner Army led by Deng Guangming and Zhang Mengji lay down in the upper reaches of the North River, which made Zhu San and his son helpless, so they could only "plant the fields" first and make Datong.
However, since Chen Shangchuan mentioned this issue, Zhu Hezang wanted to hear his opinions.
Zhu Heying asked: "General Chen, in your opinion, how should we deal with the soldiers of Guangdong and Fujian provinces?"
