    ,

    Ganzhou.

    ? Chen Maosheng first went to see Fei Ruhe, then the magistrate Liu Anfeng, and finally summoned the mission officer and the backbone of the peasant association.

    The news I got was a headache, Hakka is not so easy to learn!

    The Hakka dialect in the southern Jiangxi area can be roughly divided into three types. Although they can communicate with each other, they are very unfriendly to outsiders who are just learning.

    "Handle the propaganda," said Li Xiaoyi, who is in charge of missionary work in Ganzhou, "we should learn the Hakka dialect, but we must also recruit the local Hakka people.  A lot of relying on the Hakka people to advance. Some of the Hakka people have long been able to speak Jiangxi dialect, and they can also read and write."

    ? Chen Maosheng asked: "In addition to the wealthy tenants and low-level tenants, are there any small Hakka landlords and self-cultivating farmers in Southern Jiangxi?"

    "Yes, and there are quite a few of them," Li Xiaoyi said, "I suggest that some small Hakka landowners should not distribute their fields for the time being, even if they exceed one hundred mu."

    "Why is that so?" Chen Maosheng frowned.

    Li Xiaoyi said: "I have visited the villages and found a very unexpected phenomenon. Many villages, the whole village is full of Hakka people. Especially those remote villages, they have moved from Fujian and Guangdong for decades, and they have earned their family property entirely by opening up wasteland.  These lands are relatively barren, and they used to be barren mountains and ridges, which were cultivated by them with one scythe and one hoe, and they did not exploit the tenants."

    Well, this is different from what Wei Jiaju said. It seems that the situation in Nangan is more complicated than imagined.

    "Are there any big landlords in these remote villages?" Chen Maosheng asked.

    Li Xiaoyi shook his head and said: "There are no big landlords. They moved from Fujian and Guangdong. The roads are blue and the roads are poor, and the land is poor. It has only been a hundred years. How can there be any big landlords? The remote villages in the mountains are mostly self-cultivating farmers and small landlords. There are no landowners at all.  It is necessary to divide the fields. Moreover, there are very few landowners with more than 100 mu of land, almost negligible.¡±

    Chen Maosheng said: "I have to send someone to ask the town for instructions."

    After chatting with the mission officer, Chen Maosheng went to see Zou Weilian and Liu Huan again.

    In the original time and space, Zou Weilian should have died of illness last year.  He made great achievements in Fujian, but was framed by Wen Tiren and dismissed from office. After Wen Tiren fell, Emperor Chongzhen remembered him, and found out that Wen Tiren had passed away.

    Many ministers are like this. They live well if they don't leave office, but they die of illness within a year or two after returning home.

    The same is true for Wen Tiren, who was alive and kicking when he was in court, but died of illness the second year after losing his official position.

    At least now it seems that Zou Weilian is free from disease and pain, and can live for at least ten or eight years.

    Zou Liangyi introduced: "Father, this is Mr. Chen Yumaosheng, the Missionary Secretary."

    "Mr. Zou, it's a pleasure to meet you!" Chen Maosheng cupped his hands.

    Zou Weilian raised his hand to return the salute, his movements were a little forced, and his smile was also a little forced.

    Chen Maosheng cupped his hands again and said, "I met Mr. Liu."

    "It's a pleasure to meet you." Liu Huan was very natural, and her attitude was ambiguous, and she never said whether she would like to join her.

    The only trace of Liu Huan, the magistrate of Ganzhou in the Ming Dynasty, left in historical materials is the inscription on the plaque for Kongtong Temple in Ganzhou.

    Zou Weilian was always in a low mood while drinking tea and chatting.

    Finally, Chen Maosheng asked: "Ask the two gentlemen, what is the situation of the Hakka people in Nangan?"

    Zou Weilian pointed to Liu Huan: "Ask him about this."

    Liu Huan said with a smile, "I'm Bucai. I'm originally from Guangdong. I'm a Hakka."

    Chen Maosheng said quickly: "Mr. Liu, please give me your advice."

    Liu Huan recounted: "The Hakka people migrated southwards from the Jin Dynasty. Many of the Hakka people in Southern Jiangxi migrated from Fujian and Guangdong at the end of the Song Dynasty. After the founding of the Ming Dynasty, a large number of Hakka people in Southern Jiangxi moved back to Fujian and Guangdong.  "

    "Why did they move back after nearly a hundred years?" Chen Maosheng asked.

    Liu Huan explained: "During the Jiajing period, Japanese pirates harassed and harassed a large number of coastal people to the inland, resulting in a large population in eastern Guangdong and western Fujian. It happened that due to the war in southern Jiangxi, a large number of people dispersed. The Hakka people in eastern Guangdong and western Fujian  , they moved to southern Jiangxi in groups.¡±

    There is another situation that Wei Jiaju didn't explain clearly.

    After Wang Yangming and other ministers suppressed the bandits, especially when guest soldiers from other provinces raged, many villages in southern Jiangxi were emptied, and landlords fled to settle in county towns one after another.

    Whole villages and villages of Hakka people moved in, some became rich as tenants, and they became the main tenants, forming today's luxury tenants.  After hundreds of years of development, many wealthy tenants have been transformed into big landlords, so there are also conflicts between Hakka landlords and tenants.

    Some of the Hakkas who migrated in the middle and late period of Jiajing became tenants, and most of them were tenants.?For the time being, there will be no contradictions between people and land, and there will be no class oppression.  Zhao Han's rule over them is the greatest oppression and the greatest contradiction. They don't want to pay taxes to Zhao Han!

    However, southern Jiangxi is full of mountains, and there are mountain people everywhere.

    Even if the missionary officers have learned the Hakka dialect, even if Hakka people join the missionary group, they can only effectively rule in the mountainous areas near the city and the flat areas along the river for the time being.

    In the mountains, I can't manage it for the time being.

    ? No wonder Nangan was a headache for Daming, no wonder Nangan was helpless for the Qing Dynasty, the situation in this place is really too complicated.

    ?We can't just rely on economic sanctions, but also lure them with benefits and show them kindness, so that we can achieve results with both kindness and power.

    After thinking about it carefully, Zhao Han wrote to Chen Maosheng again. The content was: select the mountain people who are willing to settle down, issue them a franchise license, allow them to buy 50 catties of salt every month, and sell 200 catties of goods in the mountains every month.

    If these people get rich, it depends on whether other mountain people can sit still!

    Blind sanctions can only make the mountain people feel the same hatred, and they must be internally divided.

    Southern Jiangxi must be well governed, because Zhao Han's development route is to capture Fujian and Guangdong after occupying the entire territory of Jiangxi, and Southern Jiangxi is a must pass through to connect Fujian and Guangdong.
