Over the years, Jiangnan Group has developed a mature and effective immigration strategy.

After the immigrants arrived, the local city hall first arranged resettlement housing on a commune basis. Generally, the houses were thatched houses in the north and bamboo and wood houses in the south, but they were not big and not comfortable. Families with many people lived in crowded places.

But at that time, we were thankful to have a place to live. Moreover, each family was given an unlimited amount of land to cultivate. Although it was a common property that could not be bought or sold or a long-term lease of more than 50 years, the immigrants were still very content.

Most of the land in the group's 18 administrative districts adopts a shared property model, which means that the right to use the land is permanently transferred to the immigrants, but the ownership is shared by the immigrants and the management committee. When the immigrants want to sell the land, the management committee will buy it back, but they only need to pay half of the actual land price.

Only in Xingang City was the long-term lease model adopted, because the land in Jeju Island was leased by the group from the Joseon Dynasty for a period of ninety-nine years, although it was a rent-free lease.

At first, many people were worried that this would affect the enthusiasm of immigrants. But Zhao Hao was not worried at all, as he knew too well the Chinese people's desire for land.

Facts have proved that his judgment was absolutely correct. Not to mention shared property rights, even long-term leasing has not affected immigrants' rush for land.

After settling down and working in the local area for a year, immigrants are eligible to obtain a residential plot at a very low price in the place where their household registration is located. However, as He Xinyin said, the houses must be built by urban construction companies - even if citizens have the skills to build houses themselves, or have money without taking out loans, they cannot build their own houses.

The reason for such regulation, in addition to the three reasons given by Zhao Hao, is to break the concept of self-sufficient small peasant economy and establish a commodity economy system with clear division of labor, frequent trade and active development in overseas territories as soon as possible.

Among the three economic pillars designed by Zhao Hao for overseas territories, land is the stabilizer of everything, the construction industry is the starter of the economy, and the specialty economy is the local enhancer.

Zhao Hao chose the construction industry to break the impasse for each administrative district, which was naturally a well-thought-out decision. First of all, the construction industry is a prerequisite for all cities and towns to be built from scratch. All walks of life need the construction industry to set the stage before they can appear one by one.

Secondly, the construction industry has a strong driving effect on upstream and downstream industries. In particular, it has a very strong driving effect on industrialization - cement, steel, building materials, transportation and other industrial industries will all be driven up, greatly changing the proportion of industry and agriculture.

Third, the construction industry and its upstream and downstream industries are all labor-intensive industries, which can provide a large number of jobs for overseas territories. This is how each administrative region can welcome all immigrants and satisfy their insatiable desires. It can also provide members with an additional way to increase their income besides farming, thereby increasing the income of immigrants.

Moreover, the construction industry is also the starting industry of Jiangnan Group. In the second year of Longqing, Zhao Hao initiated the establishment of Jiangnan Company for the purpose of building a levee for Kunshan. After creating the myth of Kunshan levee being completed in one month, Jiangnan Company embarked on the road of contracting various water conservancy projects in Jiangnan and taking the opportunity to tie various prefectures and counties to the chariot one by one.

Today, the group has set up development companies in 240 counties in China, and each development company has sent its own construction team to the overseas administrative regions. Each construction team has a minimum of several thousand people and a maximum of tens of thousands of people. The 240 construction teams are more than 2 million construction workers. It is precisely because of this reinforcement of construction workers that urban construction, transportation, agriculture, forestry, water conservancy, science, education, culture, health, and various industrial and mining enterprises in the overseas administrative regions have sprung up like mushrooms after rain.

But Zhao Hao is still far from his ambition to become a global large-scale engineering contractor. The Suez Canal has only been built for a third of its construction...

The residence of three generations of He Xinyin's master and apprentices is in Ningbo Li San Street in the east wing of the outer city, a small courtyard covering half an acre.

The place is not big, but the design is very reasonable and it is very comfortable to live in. The design institute has learned from the strengths of the northern courtyard and the southern folk houses, and designed houses on all four sides of the courtyard, enclosing the patio in the middle. However, the main house on the north side is a two-story building, which improves the lighting and utilization rate. Many three-story courtyards in mainland China cannot be divided into seven large rooms facing the sun, four on the top and three on the bottom.

The left and right wing rooms are used as storage and kitchens, while the back room is used as toilet and utility room. The kitchen is connected to biogas, water supply and drainage, and has a pot-lid type solar water heater.

The toilet is equipped with a flush toilet, but it is a squat toilet because it is more hygienic at this stage. The feces have a separate sewer, which is directly connected to a special septic tank outside, and there is no odor at all.

The ground in the courtyard was paved with blue bricks and there were flower beds with roses and peonies planted in them. There were a few chickens and a big yellow dog in the courtyard, and when they saw so many people coming in, they just barked symbolically.

An octogenarian with pure white hair and beard was sitting under a loofah rack, slowly pounding garlic, looking contented and peaceful.

Hearing the dog barking, the old man slowly raised his head and looked at the person who was coming. Although his face was full of deep wrinkles, his eyes were very clear.

"Are you here?"

"Master, I have brought back the great man Zhao whom you have been talking about for years." He Xinyin pointed at Zhao Hao and said with a smile as if seeking credit.

"What?" The old man was quite surprised when he heard this. He quickly put down the garlic mortar, wiped his hands on his cloth robe, and kept complaining to He Xinyin: "Why didn't you tell me earlier? I could have cooked two more dishes. Xiao Hu, go to the street and order some delicious dishes and bring back two jugs of good wine..."

Uncle Zhao Hao and his nephew were even more surprised. They both didn't expect that the famous lawless outlaw Yan Shannong was actually such a amiable old man.

Mr. Shannong was Yan Jun, who was forced to change his name to Yan Duo to avoid the taboo of the emperor. He was very unhappy about this, so he insisted on using his pseudonym to go around, and people called him Yan Shannong, also known as the woodcutter.

Even though he was a farmer and a woodcutter, and acted like an old man in the mountains, Zhao Hao did not dare to underestimate him. He was a long-standing destabilizing factor in the court, and the head of the Taizhou School, whom Zhang Juzheng regarded as a thorn in his side!

Although the Taizhou School was founded by Wang Gen, it was Yan Shannong who truly determined the fact that this school was unrestrained and loved to teach the people and reform society. Each of the disciples had a strong personality, acted eccentrically, and did not follow the ordinary path. They wanted to be superheroes to save society. The distinctive characteristics of "fighting dragons and snakes with bare hands" and "not being restrained by the Mingjiao" were actually Yan Shannong.

When Yan Shannong was young, he was a chivalrous man who hated evil. Later, after learning the knowledge from Wang Gen, he also began to accept disciples.

Moreover, he had another requirement for his disciples, that they must be punched three times by him. Only those who could endure these three punches could become his disciples... If you don't know, you might think that Taizhou School was a martial arts school.

When He Xinyin became his disciple, he also endured three punches, but he was very dissatisfied in his heart. Later, after being his disciple for a long time, he found that Yan Jun liked to go to brothels. He Xinyin followed him quietly and waited at the door of the brothel. When Yan Jun came out, He Xinyin also went up and punched him three times. Yan Jun was speechless after being beaten, and from then on he changed his mind and stopped visiting brothels.

Abstinence was indeed effective. After the old man had acquired great knowledge, he posted the "Emergency Treatment for Heart Fire" list. In just over a year, he attracted thousands of disciples who were sinking in the sea of ​​suffering.

In addition to Luo Rufang and He Xinyin, there were 47 followers including Tan Lun, Chen Dabin, Wang Zhigao, and Zou Yinglong who later became Jinshi. Yan Jun became famous because of this.

In the 32nd year of the Jiajing reign, when he visited the capital, Xu Jie invited him to preside over a meeting at Lingji Palace, where he gave a three-day lecture to 350 officials who came to Beijing to see the emperor. He also invited him to give a three-day lecture to 700 candidates who took the imperial examination. Within just one month, he caused a sensation in the capital twice. Officials below the three dukes came to ask for his services. Yan Junji was very quick in his debates, and he could answer questions and difficulties with a few words, often getting the answer right before his eyes!

He was fifty years old that year. Although Zhao Hao was not born at that time, he had seen He Daxia's demeanor at Lingji Palace twenty years ago. Yan Shannong must have been a sharp figure at that time.

In the 37th year of Jiajing, Yan Jun was invited by Hu Zongxian to participate in the war against Japanese pirates as a "special person" who knew military tactics. In the battle of Zhoushan, he drowned thousands of Japanese pirates and was commended by the court. However, because he could not stand Hu Zongxian's extravagance and arrogance, he left his second son to join the army the following year and continued to give lectures in the north and south of the Yangtze River.

It was these rich experiences that gradually allowed him to see through the truth of the world. Yan Jun realized that the reason why the country was so weak, the military was so exhausted, and the people were so distressed was because the emperors and ministers in the temple and the local gentry had tamed the people too much. No matter how they acted, the people were submissive and their occasional resistance was no threat!

In this stress-free environment, the Ming emperor and his ministers naturally only knew how to seek pleasure and quickly degenerate, and as a result, everyone from top to bottom became useless. Not only could they not deal with the Tartars, but even the small Japanese pirates could show off their power under the city of Nanjing. They really didn't want to be a princess!

From then on, he devoted the rest of his life to "awakening the people and practicing the Way", to make the people understand that "life is in the hands of God, but I make my own destiny", to make the people of the Ming Dynasty become "unruly people" who are unwilling to submit and unrestrained, and then everyone will work together to transform this damn society! Force those in power to make changes...

Yan Shannong was already famous at that time, and he was targeting the lower and middle class people. The people of the Ming Dynasty had always been unwilling to accept the government's control...

One can imagine what the situation was like wherever he went. Almost every time he gave a lecture, the people would get excited and smash up the houses of the local wealthy people, and riots would break out in the surrounding areas...

Although he tried his best to persuade the people not to riot when they were excited, in the eyes of the government, he was a scourge who incited rebellion everywhere.

In the 45th year of the Jiajing reign, he was lured into a trap in Yangzhou and taken to the Nanjing Prison, where he was tortured and even became a cellmate with a painter and a writer for a period of time.

Later, due to the lack of solid evidence and the full rescue efforts of his disciples Luo Rufang and others, he was finally pardoned the death penalty three years later and sent to guard the border in Guangxi.

After the Jinling Lotus Platform Fairy Meeting that year, Luo Rufang and He Xinyin asked Zhao Hao to find a way to help him get rid of the status of a "criminal" and send him back home.

After Zhang Juzheng banned teaching and issued a warrant for the arrest of He Xinyin, his disciples were worried that the court would not be able to catch He Xinyin and would use their teacher to force him to show up, so they asked Zhao Hao for help and brought the 80-year-old man Yan Shannong from overseas.

ps. It is indeed not difficult to write now. I thought I would not have to go to the hospital on weekends, so I could write more. However, my youngest son caught a cold again. He coughed all night last night, and I took him to a massage today, so I wanted to write more but I was powerless. Alas, this is the situation now. Not only do we have no one to help us, but we also have to take care of the whole family. Tomorrow morning my wife will take my father-in-law and mother-in-law to see a doctor, and I will take my youngest son to a massage...
