Chapter 1309: Peace of the world
Northern Province.
Governor Wang Xizuo has been in office for more than a month.
Northern provinces have gradually stabilized.
However, rebellions outside the northern provinces continued.
France is fine, after all, the French Kingdom is strong and the king's control is extraordinary.
However, the German states next door were already in chaos.
All kinds of melee are constantly fighting, fighting to the death.
What the knights faced was not the so-called knights in the past, but the farmer holding various weapons.
A group of bankrupt knights even joined the rebellion.
There is also constant friction between states.
The nominal Holy Roman Emperor was beyond the reach of this.
A large number of people who escaped from the war fled to the northern provinces.
Here, it seems like a paradise.
Wang Xizuo even hired a group of Swiss mercenaries at an extremely low price.
At the same time, a northern fleet was established.
His envoy had already begun to make peace with France and expressed his willingness to take out some gold and silver to help the royal family solve some of the current minor troubles.
The French royal family obviously did not want the northern provinces to continue to be in chaos. After all, continuing chaos is very likely to cause chaos in France's border provinces.
Of course, before that, France had been surrounded by the Habsburg family from Spain, to the northern provinces, and then to the German states. This even led to France shook hands with the Ottomans for its own safety and was despised by European countries.
But now, a northern province separated from the Habsburg family is obviously an inauspicious choice for France.
Of course, the most important point is that France itself is on the powder keg, and it is even more impossible to do anything externally. It would be a blessing to be able to protect this storm.
Compared with the chaos in other places, although the stable northern provinces are still in a state of depression, they gradually begin to recover.
Because the Dutch and Fries were always at the center of a great power struggle, they were not interested in politics and military, but they had extremely high talent in commerce and agriculture.
People still perform their own duties and their lives have become stable.
The heavy debts began to be sorted out by the Governor Wang Xizhu. A lot of them gradually cleared up.
Wang Xizuo promulgated a mortgage bill, which means to clear debts through mortgaged property. The price he gave to the mortgaged land was fair.
at the same time……
A quick report was delivered to Wang Xizuo.
Wang Xizuo pinched the news and frowned.
In many countries, many people began to leave their hometowns.
On the one hand, during the tulip storm, the nobles and farmers from various states borrowed loans everywhere in order to buy tulips, and the borrowing targets were mostly people.
Now, these creditors have obviously become a group of hateful guys.
On the other hand, the beliefs of the people of the Jutai are different from many, and are mostly regarded as alien by the locals.
At most, it is just discrimination, but now it becomes abominable.
People everywhere confiscate their property, expel them, and even commit terrible atrocities.
"What a poor group of people." Wang Xizuo took the express newspaper and said to several staff members who had already followed him to enjoy and enjoy themselves: "They did nothing wrong, but they were treated like this, conveyed my orders, and accepted them. They should find an ideal place to fear, settle down again and build a new home."
After saying that, Wang Xizuo smiled in his eyes: "I heard that they will hide their property at any time, right?"
Everyone understands what it means.
Protecting them, to some extent, contributes to the stability of the Northern Province.
Wang Xizuo continued to sit at his desk. He was writing a letter. This was a passionate letter to Fang Jifan, the master of Wang Xizuo. No, it should not be called Fang Jifan or Duke of Qi, but Fang Dashanren.
He must report the situation here to the great charity and provide some possible help.
Of course, it is best to establish trade between the northern province and the east.
Even... he proposed the idea of establishing a Han mercenary, which would be best if this mercenary could be equipped with short guns.
In addition, he has to report on his property status.
Wang Xizuo understood very well.
I came here alone, neither aristocrat nor a general who won every battle. The reason why I can gain a foothold now is that people need themselves for the time being.
My foundation is too shallow. Once the Kingdom of Spain or France recovers from its consciousness, it will crush itself into powder like strangling an ant to death.
In order to deal with this possible situation, he had to hold Fang Dashan's thigh.
As for the large amount of wealth I bought here, of course, these are not my own.
He knew this very well.
It's not that he is not greedy.
Instead, he had followed Fang Dashanren and knew very well how Fang Dashanren treated his enemies.
Including this tulip storm, he was also a major participant. Such magical techniques have made his scalp numb until now.
So... don't make the good man unhappy, you must faithfully play the role of your own slave.
He recorded all the real estate, real estate and all mortgaged property.
This is a long letter, and it is written in Chinese characters, so there is no need to worry about being deciphered.
Just when he was almost about to finish writing.
A guard came in: "Governor General, a farmer hopes to see you in person and pay tribute to the Great Good Man and you. His seventy acres of land have mortgaged a little five gold coins. He is very grateful to the Great Good Man and your help."
Seventy acres of land were enough to get seven or eight gold coins before the tulip storm.
But now, I can only get one or five.
Not only that.
This also brings people's gratitude.
Wang Xizuo held a quill pen in his hand, raised his head and sighed: "Ah, that's what I should do, as a slave to a good person who does good deeds... Forget it, please invite him in."
A farmer wearing a shabby hat came in tremblingly, and his face looked particularly solemn. He first walked to the portrait of the Governor's Mansion step by step.
This portrait is a work that took a month to paint.
Inside is an oriental face, handsome face, with a simple smile, and there seems to be heroic spirit between his eyebrows.
The farmer took off his hat and was muttering something.
Then, he turned around and walked to Wang Xizuo, his eyes turned red and he bent down.
Wang Xizuo stretched out his hand.
The farmer kissed the back of Wang Xizuo's hand: "Thank you, thank you, Mr. Fang, thank you, Your Excellency the Governor, thank you."
Wang Xizuo nodded with reservations like all nobles.
The farmer took a step back, bowed again, then turned around and left with awe and gratitude.
Wang Xizuo has long been used to such a scene.
