The climate and geography of Nanyang is very suitable for the growth of rice. In addition, the advanced planting technology brought by the Han people quickly turned the wild Luzon into a new granary. Although its size is still small, the population base is there.

But the food produced in Luzon has begun to feed back to the Central Plains, but it is true.

Not to mention that sugarcane and abaca are also produced this year. Luzon's sugar has been sold well in Southeast Asia and even sold to places such as India. Abaca is mainly supplied to various departments of the navy. Its fibers are slender, tough, light, and not perishable for soaking in seawater. It is a high-quality raw material for fishing nets and marine cables, as well as woven mats and carpets, and is even a high-quality raw material for linens.

The wealthy families who set up manors in Luzon that year have made great returns in recent years (comparative investment), and their comprehensive returns are more profitable than those of the Jiangnan farms.

After all, although the slave market in Central Plains is wide, there are often too many monks and less porridge. The price of slaves is not mentioned, and the number is too small.

Without enough cheap labor and sweatshops, where did you make rapid progress?

But now, for the Chinese people in Luzon, their good days are facing huge challenges. Because of this, Zhao Mao, as a businessman, would have people collect information everywhere and try to figure out the meaning of the court.

As one of the first people to immigrate to Luzon, Zhao Mao, who is also the son of the Zhao clan, has sufficient capital to grow in Luzon. A member of the Zhao clan alone can make his loan amount ten times that of ordinary families.

In just a few years, his family's industry has expanded dozens of times. From the early shops to the ocean slave trade, then the warehouses and plantations, compared with the Zhongren House in Yingtian, Zhao Mao's family is now in a world-shaking way.

Now he has five shops and two warehouses under his name. With the slave trade, he accumulated tens of thousands of furniture in just ten years, and bought a large area of ​​land in central Luzon and built his own manor, a large manor with tens of thousands of acres of fertile land and hundreds of slaves.

Although there are still many foreign debts outside, who dares to say that he has the word "poor"?

That's why he really cares about the king's title.

While asking people to inquire about the news from the market, he also found his former cousin Zhao Rong after several twists and turns. As the son of the Yuanzhi clan of the Song Dynasty, Zhao Rong chose a completely different path from Zhao Mao. Now he is an official in Hangzhou Prefecture. Although he is only an eighth-rank recorder, he is an official, and the source of information is very different from Zhao Mao.

"So, the court must enfeoff the vassal of Luzon?"

Facing the news brought by my cousin, Zhao Mao's heart skipped a beat.

"This matter is inevitable." In Zhao Rong's heart, it was already a national policy to enfeoff the royal family to Southeast Asia.

Whether it is to resettle the royal family or consolidate the Zhao family's country, this strategy is excellent.

As a lower-level official, Zhao Rong knew very well how huge the "migration law" had to touch the people.

Shaving out the poor and stabilizing the internal situation is just one of them. It is more important to force the people of the world to be diligent and hardworking.

In the past, as Zhao Rong saw, there were many farmers in the village outside Hangzhou City who stayed at home during the slack season and were having fun all day. Even because the taxes of the court have been reduced in recent years, each of them had three or five spare money, so they set up a stall and started playing games with shouts and shouting.

The imperial court does not advocate playing games now, and the cities all have to pay heavy taxes.

But it's hard for you to completely clear the countryside, right?

Only after these farmers had food and drink, did they not see the laws of the court.

That is, when there is no food and clothing, he will think of everything when the emperor thinks of the imperial court, and he will go to the construction site to work and earn wages.

When my stomach is full, everything changes.

They still feel grateful to the emperor in their mouths and hearts, but this does not match their violation of the court's laws.

But what about now that the "migration method" is freshly released? It's like a catfish thrown into the bathtub. In the countryside, it's hard to see a large number of idle men chatting and playing leisurely.

Isn’t it nice to earn two more wages when I have that time? So much so that labor prices in Hangzhou are falling.

Countless people must work hard for their own destiny, and even more so for the destiny of their descendants.

Even this decree has an extra funny effect - it greatly contributed to the separation of many large families.

Whether in the Central Plains or Lingnan, there were too many big families with dozens or even hundreds of people in the countryside of the Song Dynasty. Many families had three generations of grandparents and grandchildren. Although some people's sons did not return home for three or five years, once they checked their household registration, they were still a family.

Parents are not separated, which is a well-known social rule. Originally, the Zhao Song Dynasty court was exploiting them in a variety of ways. Except for some powerful and wealthy households, ordinary families could not afford to raise too many children. But now, after the tax reform of the Song Dynasty under Zhao Gou, the burden on the people was greatly reduced, and the motivation to have a son and a daughter naturally increased. In today's households, there are not too many small babies that are not as tall as the thighs.

In a word, in today's Song Dynasty, the children of ordinary people have moved from three or two to four or five levels, and there will be more in the future.

Children spend little money, and for the people of the Song Dynasty today, they can still live in a package. But what about the average person's twenty coins? These little babies are so fatal.

So some big investors fell apart because some people were unwilling to put themselves in danger. This could even be a banner to fight against the filial piety of parents.

Any parent who does not agree to the separation of the family and does not ask a capable child to go ashore first will be regarded as "unwilling" or even "unkind" by the neighbors.

As one family becomes multiple small families, the cohesion of the clan is weakening, which is obviously beneficial to the rule of the court.

How could the court give up the immigration law if such an excellent effect be achieved? And so many immigrants moved thousands of miles overseas and tens of thousands of miles away, and the court was out of reach. There was only one way out for the vassal king Yongzhen.

Zhao Mao was not surprised by this, and he didn't care about it, "Then did the Luzon fiefdom also use the "New Law"?"

How many vassal kings will be granted by the Zhao official family in the Song Dynasty in the future? He really doesn't care what the sons of the Supreme Emperor will be like. The only thing he cares about is whether the "New Law" will be implemented in Luzon.

If the vassal king took the new rules of the Song Dynasty and collected the taxes, it would be really painful to cut the flesh with a knife. But Zhao Mao was afraid that the vassal king would learn from his uncles and directly use the knife to remove the "human"'s arms and thighs, which would be even more deadly.

Now, whether it is King Wu, King Chen, or King Xu, they all use white sticks as money and exchange the "future" for the present. Some people are happy to do it, but some people regard it as exploitation.

Zhao Mao is obviously one of them!
