Liu Jin returned to the inn where he was staying, picked up his pen and began to write some memorials to Emperor Hongzhi.
The colonial era and the age of navigation brought not only rolling wealth, but also many problems and challenges that came with it.
Slaves are very pleasant to use, but slowly they may become dependent on slaves, and eventually it is very likely to lead to many situations in Europe in later generations, where slaves gradually become like doves occupying magpie's nests.
The introduction of foreign culture, race, and religion will inevitably have an impact on the existing culture, race, and religion. The harm may not be seen in a short period of time, but over time, it will inevitably have a profound impact.
Back then, the Mongols almost came close to conquering the world, but in the end it was the Mongols who conquered the world?
Or were the Mongols conquered by the ideas, culture and religion of other powerful civilizations?
This is a question worth pondering, and it is also an issue that requires high attention and prevention in advance.
"Your Majesty, Liu Jin, I would like to inform you that the land of Nanyang is located at the intersection of the East and the West. As our Ming Dynasty's national power flourishes and sweeps across the four directions, more and more foreigners are gathering in Nanyang."
"With the arrival of foreigners, there are not only their goods and wealth, but also the culture, ideas and religion they brought with them~"
"The rise of the slave trade will inevitably bring more people from more distant places. Various cultures and ideas will continue to collide in our Ming Dynasty, which will have a profound impact."
¡°I believe that our Ming Dynasty should attach great importance to this, learn from the lessons of history, resolutely promote our Chinese Confucian culture and ideas, and take the essence of foreign cultures and ideas and discard the dross"
"First, countries that are not vassal of our Ming Dynasty should be strictly prohibited from settling in our Ming Dynasty, buying land and real estate, building temples, spreading religion, etc. They should only be allowed to do business in specific trading areas and limit the scope and time of their stay. .¡±
"Second, establish a sound household registration system and conduct an inventory of the population of our country, the Ming Dynasty. I suggest exempting the population tax, so that we can better conduct a census of the population of our country, the Ming Dynasty."
"While establishing the household registration system, we, the Ming Dynasty, should distinguish the people under the rule of the Ming Dynasty and divide them into several levels. The highest level is naturally our descendants of Yan and Huang, and the lowest level is the lowest slave."
"Regarding slaves, I believe that our homeland of the Ming Dynasty should strictly prohibit the entry of slaves in order to protect the sanctity of our vast land."
"Slaves are only allowed to be promoted and used in provinces other than the mainland of the Ming Dynasty. At the same time, strict measures should be taken against slaves. Male slaves will be castrated to cut off their offspring, while female slaves can be given to my wifeless wife in the Ming Dynasty appropriately. people, encourage them to marry people of my Ming Dynasty to increase the population of my Ming Dynasty."
"Third, we should vigorously promote our Chinese civilization, Confucian thoughts and doctrines, especially in overseas places, and all foreign people who have newly been incorporated into our Ming Dynasty should be vigorously promoted."
"Changing Chinese surnames, learning Chinese characters, wearing Chinese clothes, and speaking Mandarin. When vigorously promoted, appropriate rewards should be given to appropriately improve their levels."
¡°Fourth, the number of overseas provinces and trading ports should not be too large to facilitate the centralized management and control of foreign merchants and slaves.¡±
""
Liu Jin picked up his pen and began to write a memorial to Emperor Hongzhi eloquently. He wrote a lot of content, mainly the policies formulated in response to the many influences brought by slaves and outsiders in terms of thought, culture and religion.
This is a series of policies Liu Jin came up with for the future of the Ming Dynasty.
The Ming Dynasty is different from Europe. The whole of Europe combined is about the same size as the Ming Dynasty. But in terms of population, the official population of the Ming Dynasty is 60 million. If you include the concealed population, etc., the population of the Ming Dynasty may exceed 10,000. Ten thousand.
But the combined population of Europe during this period was estimated to be less than half that of the Ming Dynasty.
Therefore, in the following colonial era and navigation era, the Ming Dynasty could be much less dependent on slaves, unlike Europeans who were very dependent on slaves.
In many colonies, these Europeans would have no way to operate without their slaves.
Similarly, because these European countries are too small and have a small population, even though they have plundered huge wealth from colonies around the world, they can still be said to be weak.
In order to rule the global colonies, they could only rely on colonial strongholds and mainly plunder wealth. Only with the rise of the industrial revolution did they gradually turn to the plunder of raw materials and the dumping of goods.
But it is different in Ming Dynasty.
He itself has a huge land and population, and has strong national power.
During the Colonial Age and the Navigation Age, the Ming Dynasty not only needed to plunder the wealth of the colonies, but more importantly, the Ming Dynasty could even swallow the bones of the colonies.
With enough population, enough people can be relocated.
This means that the rule of the colonies can be more solid, and it will not happen like the Europeans in later generations. With the spread of global national liberation ideas, colonies around the world became independent one after another, disintegrating their colonial rule for hundreds of years.
This is the fundamental difference between Ming Dynasty and European countries.
Realizing this, naturally we cannot all learn from Europeans in terms of colonial policy, and more should be formulated based on the Ming Dynasty¡¯s own situation.
For example, in terms of slaves, the Ming Dynasty has a sufficient population and a sufficient labor force, so it does not need so many slaves. It only needs to liberate the minds of the Ming people and make them willing to immigrate overseas.
Naturally, these slaves are not so precious and indispensable. These slaves can be castrated without causing the embarrassing situation of later Europeans, where doves occupy the magpie's nest.
Encourage births and encourage Ming people to take foreign women as concubines. Naturally, the population of Ming Dynasty can grow explosively. With a sufficient population, there will be enough pulling power to develop colonies.
And Liu Jin is a time traveler, so he will not let the industrial revolution come slowly. Liu Jin has already asked people to study steam engines. I believe that this kind of thing without much technical content will be developed soon.
¡°Perhaps in another ten or twenty years, the industrial revolution will come, and then there will be no need for so many slaves.
What Ming Dynasty needs is land and a wider living space. As for population and labor force, these are not what Ming Dynasty urgently needs.
After writing the memorial, Liu Jin looked at it carefully again and couldn't help but fall into deep thought.
What he saw today also touched Liu Jin a lot.
Hundreds of Persians and Middle Easterners dared to come to the government offices of Nanyang Province to make trouble and make demands to Wu Yang. In terms of aspects, the people of Ming Dynasty were inferior to these people.
People in the Ming Dynasty have always paid attention to resignation and lacked the spirit of resistance. This is also true in later generations.
Even though it is a global power, its citizens are always bullied internationally. They may not dare to bully the stick, but they will definitely dare to bully you?
What is the reason for this phenomenon?
Daming is like an elephant?
This does not seem to be nonsense.
Thinking about it carefully, it is indeed the case.
The Ming Dynasty is very big and powerful, but it is like an elephant. People are not afraid of it, and even bully it from time to time.
Only when you really anger it, when the elephant is really angry, you will know how scary it is.
Lack of a wolfish nature.
"The United Western Trading Company captured the island of Ceylon. This may be a good thing. It can arouse the wolf nature of the nation. Wolves travel thousands of miles to eat meat. I am afraid that more and more trading houses and people will imitate the Western Trading Company and set off private riots around the world. Colonial Era.¡±
Soon, Liu Jin thought of the Western United Trading Company and Ceylon Island.
The Western United Trading Company boldly used troops on Ceylon Island and successfully obtained huge profits at a very small cost. This news must have almost reached the capital.
At that time, more people will inevitably be stimulated to go overseas to establish more colonies, and the wolf nature will gradually return.
"Perhaps more encouragement should be given. From now on, Ceylon Island should be regarded as the private land of the Western United Trading Company."
¡°Only in this way can we encourage more people to go overseas and build more colonies.¡±
Liu Jin touched his chin and began to think deeply. Thinking of this, he picked up the pen and wrote a letter to Liu Jian and Li Dongyang in the court.
This matter will soon be reported back to the Ming Dynasty. At that time, there will be a fierce debate between the government and the public about how to deal with Ceylon Island.
Liu Jin¡¯s attitude is to support the private ownership of Ceylon Island. It is nominally the territory of the Ming Dynasty, but it is owned by the Western United Trading Company and encourages everyone to colonize overseas.
"I'm afraid that by then, the princes, large and small, in the Ming Dynasty will be unable to sit still. Private ownership is allowed and a certain amount of armed force is allowed. They will definitely want to go overseas to occupy a piece of land and establish their own country, China. "
¡°Perhaps we can also sweep out these princes of the old Zhu family at that time, so as not to stick to Da Ming¡¯s body like blood-sucking insects and suck his blood.¡±
Thinking of this, Liu Jin couldn't help laughing and started writing faster. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com)??Sweep out these princes of the old Zhu family too, lest they stick to Da Ming like blood-sucking insects and suck his blood. "
Thinking of this, Liu Jin couldn't help laughing and started writing faster. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
