1140. Chapter 1140 Long-term plans

 Chapter 1140 Long-term plan

The Dengzhou officials had completely opposite views on the foreign visitors Haihan. The opposition even took a tougher stance at one time, believing that Haihan's arrival was tantamount to an invasion of the Ming Dynasty and that they should be expelled from Shandong.

.However, people's opinions are mostly in favor of Haihan. There is no other reason. In the first month after Haihan arrived here, he basically solved the two major problems that have plagued Fushan County for several years: bandits and refugees.

For local officials who are short of soldiers and food, it is almost impossible to solve these two problems by themselves without the full support of the court. Moreover, there are also some objective problems that are difficult to see.

The reasons for these two historical issues have remained in Dengzhou for a long time, and the situation in Fushan County is just a microcosm of them. In this troubled times, after all, there are only a handful of local tycoons who have the strength to protect themselves, and the government cannot give enough

When there is no guarantee of safety, those who are incompetent can only choose to flee their homes or submit to the situation, while some people with family backgrounds and ideas will naturally try to find new backers - for example, they just used Wanjiajun as a sacrifice to prove themselves not long ago.

The powerful Haihan people.

In the eyes of the locals, Haihan was far less of a threat than the bandits and the foreign troops stationed in Dengzhou. After they came to Fushan County, they did not use force to expropriate food and money from the locals.

He spent his own money to solve the problem of feeding local refugees, and at the same time took the initiative to send troops to expel the Wanjia Army, basically restoring normal security in Fushan County. After the bold landlord squire came into contact with Haihan, he soon discovered that this group of people were doing business.

The interest is much greater than fighting, and the two parties have many common interests, such as cooperation in land ownership.

The situation in Shandong is different from that in the south. Due to the rebellion in Dengzhou two years ago, the Ming Dynasty was more sensitive to the security situation here. If Haihan adopted the previous methods in the south and annexed land on a large scale,

, that would most likely arouse the hostility of Ming Dynasty, and thus cause some unnecessary trouble.

Of course, Haihan naturally has another mature plan to deal with this situation, which is to unite with the local landlord class to cooperate in agricultural development and economic and trade. In short, it is to promote the farm system that Haihan is good at and use cooperation to achieve

Indirect control over local agricultural production and social systems. In addition to agricultural technology and start-up capital, the help Haihan can provide is more importantly to assist the landlord class in completing land annexation after the war, which is very important to the local landlords.

It's definitely an irresistible temptation.

"Aren't you worried that by supporting the expansion of these landlords now, they will become too big to lose in the future?" Tian Yeyou asked after listening to Chen Yixin's explanation.

"How to change the minds of these people and let them slowly switch their allegiances? That is not entirely our military's job. We have to let the propaganda agencies and civil affairs departments take the lead." Chen Yixin spread his hands and said: "The dignitaries in the south who cooperate with us

Quite a few, aren't there many people who are slowly joining our camp? It's nothing more than a matter of interest. As long as they are consistent with our interests, they will naturally protect us."

"It makes sense!" Tian Yeyou nodded thoughtfully and agreed with Chen Yixin's statement. But he immediately returned to the original topic: "The squire who plans to marry you should also have a lot of wealth.

?”

Chen Yixin said: "In terms of family property, it is probably considered to be one of the largest households in the county. This family moved into the county during the Denglai Rebellion and did not move back until we recently cleared out the Wanjia Army.

My own house.”

Tian Yeyou said: "To be honest, if you want to stay in North China for a long time, it is not a bad thing to find a suitable local family to get married. At least you can have family to take care of your daily life. Also, since we are in the Haihan system

In life, some things need to be considered in the long term, not only for yourself, but also for future generations."

Chen Yixin didn't understand what he meant and could only respond vaguely: "Aren't I still young? I don't have to follow the rules of this era and hurry up to get married and have children!"

Seeing that he didn't understand what he meant, Tian Yeyou smiled and shook his head and said: "Why don't you imitate your good intentions, but you insist on imitating your uncle Morgan in playing single aristocrats?"

Morgan coughed dryly and said, "Speak carefully, I just don't plan to start a family again. How can I become a negative example?"

Morgan is a rare celibate among those who have traveled through time. It has been more than seven years since he came to this time and space. He doesn’t even have a girl to warm his bed, so many people have doubted his sexual orientation, but Morgan himself said

This kind of celibate behavior follows "God's decision" and does not intend to make changes. As time goes by, everyone gradually gets used to his choice. After all, everyone has made such an unusual decision as joining the time-travel operation.

Decision, logically speaking, this is a choice that really goes against common sense.

Tian Yeyou did not respond to Morgan's explanation. Instead, he asked Chen Yixin another question: "Do you know how many people have chosen to marry the indigenous people in recent years, start families and have children?"

Chen Yixin has been stationed at the Pearl River Estuary since the second year of time travel. After that, he spent most of his time outside Hainan. There are not many fellow travelers that he can usually come into contact with. Regarding what Tian Yeyou mentioned,

I really don’t understand this question, so I can only shake my head to express my ignorance.

Tian Yeyoudao: "Since the beginning, until now, the number of people who have intermarryed with the indigenous people has been in three figures, and the number of children born to them has been at least one or two hundred. Do you think the situation you are encountering now is special? No, then

It's just because you have been stationed on various islands before, almost always dealing with the big men in the army, and it is difficult to have the opportunity to contact society for a long time."

Chen Yixin said in confusion: "I can understand starting a family and having children. After all, most people regard the inheritance of the family line as part of their life mission, but is it necessary to rush it? I didn't come to participate in the time-travel operation just to travel to

It’s just a matter of time to get married.”

"Oh, you are really young!" Tian Yeyou couldn't help but shook his head again: "Do you think these people are rushing to get married and have children just to satisfy their physiological needs and complete the task of carrying on the family line? You think too simply!"

"Otherwise, what's the reason?" Chen Yixin was confused after hearing this. He really hadn't thought about this issue and had no idea what other unknown ways there were.

Tian Yeyou said slowly: "Our generation's time in power is limited after all. In the future, there will always be a time when power needs to be transferred to future generations. Who do you think will take over Haihan's power? Of course.

We are the descendants of people like us! It doesn’t matter if you get married and have children a few years later, but maybe while your children are still learning English, my children are already interning in the agency. Think about it, is this the truth?

"

Chen Yixin is also a smart person. Since Tian Yeyou said this, he can naturally express what the other person wants to express. According to Tian Yeyou, the purpose of some people rushing to get married and have children is not to complete their life mission, but to fulfill their mission in life.

It is necessary to make arrangements in advance for the next generation or even the next few generations, so that one's family can grow and expand simultaneously with the Haihan regime and remain in the ruling class for a long time.

One step is faster, each step is faster, and people make arrangements early. Then when the next generation competes for the opportunity to take power, they can naturally occupy a more advantageous position in advance. There is nothing wrong with this kind of thing. After all, people have selfish motives.

, it is also very reasonable to plan for one's own offspring, not to mention that it does not violate Haihan's existing laws and rules.

Chen Yixin smiled bitterly and said: "I really never thought about this before... Brother Tian, ​​you got married when you were in Heitu Port. Could it be that you have already made plans in this regard?"

Tian Yeyou said seriously: "Do you think I am such a scheming person? To be honest, I didn't think too much when I got married. I didn't even plan to go back to Hainan Island at that time. Anyway, I didn't have to worry about food and clothing. Halong Bay

The mountains were nice and the water was pollution-free, so I just thought I could spend the rest of my life there. Later, when I was transferred back to Hainan to explore for the Shilu Iron Mine, several big guys from the executive committee took the initiative to talk to me and said they could send their children there.

By returning to Sanya for training, I can plan my major and career path earlier in the future. Only then did I suddenly realize that the big bosses had already made plans for the next generation. If I didn’t follow the trend of history, what would happen if I didn’t follow the trend of history?

At most, the descendants will be a rich second generation. One or two generations later, they may have no political capital at all. At that time, will the descendants of my Tian family complain that I, the founding hero of Haihan, are too stupid and only have a little money?

There is no other shadow left."

Tian Yeyou's idea was very philistine, but also very practical. Chen Yixin had to admit that if he were in Tian Yeyou's position, he would probably have similar considerations. Will the Tian family disappear into thin air after a hundred years or will they still be among the ruling class?

It most likely depends on Tian Yeyou's current arrangements.

Morgan responded: "In fact, someone has said this to me before, but I don't even plan to have descendants, so I won't consider these issues."

"Then it would be a pity that there will be no Morgan family among the rulers of Haihan Kingdom in the future." Chen Yixin responded jokingly.

Morgan shrugged and said: "It won't affect the country's prospects. It's not a big deal."

Morgan's idea is a special case among time travellers, it is not universal, and its reference value is very limited. After listening to Tian Yeyou's explanation, Chen Yixin is actually more inclined to pave the way for future generations. However, in the choice of marriage partner

In terms of standards, Chen Yixin does not yet have a clear concept, so he is not in a hurry to obtain a result.

Chen Yixin said: "Actually, Brother Tian, ​​the mineral deposits you have explored over the years are your greatest political capital. There is no need to return to Sanya to settle down and become a politician."

Tian Yeyou said with a smile: "Politicians want to scheming and talking, but an honest person like me can't do it. Besides, if I wanted to be a politician, I wouldn't go all the way to Shandong to mine. My profession is actually similar to that of your soldiers. I am out there all the time."

Running around here and there is just a peaceful way to fight. When my children grow up... I'd better train them to be politicians, it won't be so tiring."

Most of the people who travel through the Haihan system serve as technical leaders in various fields. Those who are really engaged in administrative affairs management are only a small number of people represented by the members of the executive committee. These people are at the top of the power pyramid.

Senior figures are naturally enviable, but Tian Yeyou also knows that not everyone can hold these positions. It is basically impossible for him to climb to that height, but this hope can be pinned on the next generation. Wait until

When power changes from generation to generation, people with strong abilities will definitely have a better chance of ascending to power.

The three of them walked and chatted on horseback. After about two hours of traveling westward, they arrived at the scheduled location. The copper mine is located on a gentle slope, about 100 meters above sea level. The army company that arrived here in advance to clear the site was already down the hillside.

The team greeted them and waited for their arrival.

"What's the situation here?" Chen Yixin returned the military salute to the company commander leading the team, and then got straight to the point.

The company commander responded: "The nearest village is about one mile to the southwest, but there are not many households left, and the whole village only has a population of forty or fifty. My subordinates took people to check, and they are all honest people.

There should be no problem for the farmers who make a living by growing grain. In addition, according to them, the Wanjia Army has withdrawn from this area for some time and has not been out in the mountains recently. The warning area designated by the subordinates is Fang Yuan

Wuli, so far no enemy has been detected."

"Well done." Chen Yixin praised without hesitation.

What the Zhifu Island Command is most worried about is not the production capacity or mining technology, but the safety of the mine. This was once an area where Wanjia Army activities were rampant, and it is difficult to guarantee whether there will still be Wanjia troops in the nearby mountains.

The remnants of the family army existed, so the military sent troops to inspect the market first, and arranged for two generals, Chen Yixin and Morgan, to escort the prospecting team.

However, Tian Yeyou takes safety issues quite lightly. After arriving here, he only rested for a moment, then led his men into the hillsides and forests, and began to excavate ore samples based on the information he had. Because the purpose was very clear, he was well prepared.

, this kind of exploration operation organized by Tian Yeyou was extremely efficient. Malachite, which symbolizes the existence of chalcopyrite, was discovered on the surface at noon that day. After an afternoon of fixed-point excavation, someone rushed to dig out before the sun went down.

The first piece of yellow and shiny copper ore was discovered. After identification by Tian Yeyou, it was determined that it was a piece of chalcopyrite ore with a copper content of more than 50%.
