Chapter 67: Qianqiu Foundation (First Update, Asking for Support)

(Happy Singles' Day to all!) Today's three watches, ask for support! )

Send the king a thousand years of inheritance!

Such a thing is a great rebellion.

With this sentence alone, it can even be punished if it is put aside.

If it weren't for His Majesty being here, I'm afraid Zhu Cihuan would have reprimanded him loudly, and he naturally knew what to say and what not to say. Just when he was about to order someone to blast this person out, he only heard His Majesty say from the side.

Reading books such as "Zuo Biography" and "Warring States Policy" shows how the Zonghengjia is alarmist, how to use interests and disadvantages, and how to convince people with clever persuasion. Today, it is also Huang's luck to be able to see the style of the pre-Qin Zongheng family again! ”

Zhu Mingzhong had a smile on his face, and there was some mockery in his words. The reason why this is so is to remind Zhu Cihuan that this person is "convincing people with clever words", listen to him first.

"Huang Gongzi, what you say below is not alarmist, nor is it a move to gain harm, let alone a clever remark to convince people! It's about the facts! ”

Lu An retorted bluntly, and then turned to the king.

"The king, the small people have been doing business in Nanyang for several years, and they know the affairs of Nanyang, and the barbarian land of Nanyang is different. How to expand your business? How to Fuyi? ”

Lu An's rhetorical question made Zhu Cihuan stunned, he really hadn't thought about this matter, in fact, deep in his heart, he was resistant to the country, and he preferred to stay in Nanjing.

"Naturally, it is based on the ancestral system of the Ming Dynasty."

Zhu Cihuan's answer made Zhu Mingzhong sigh in his heart, that place is not the Ming Dynasty, and it is still based on the ancestral system, do you really want to drag me down?

"The king is the Ming clan, since the Ming ancestral system as the degree, but the king can know that the imperial court to get the Semarang, but a hundred miles away, is the native Mataran country, its lord Sultan has tens of thousands of soldiers, tens of thousands of slaves, and there are a lot of barbarians on the island, if it is all ancestral system, I don't know how the king uses the "Ming Law" to suppress the barbarians? Besides......"

Looking at Zhu Cihuan, Lu An said alarmistly.

"Although His Majesty has allowed the king to lead the troops, and the quasi-king will restore the three guards, the soldiers of the three guards are indeed supplemented by His Majesty, but the three guards of the king are not less than 10,000 people, and the monthly salary is not more than tens of thousands.

Looking left and right, Lu An shook his head and said.

"This palace belongs to His Majesty, if there is no money issued by His Majesty, the king is afraid that even his livelihood will be a problem, and the surplus money from there will be paid and paid, if the officers and soldiers have no salary, how can the king be barbaric?"

The successive rhetorical questions made Zhu Cihuan, who was already unprepared for what he would face after taking office, even more panicked. He even thought of his father, wasn't it because he couldn't pay the salary, and finally ended up in that step?

Compared with Zhu Cihuan's flusteredness, Zhu Mingzhong glanced at Lu An with interest, and then said lazily.

"I want to come to Nanyang for a long time, I don't know, now that my Ming banking industry is developed, naturally there are banks willing to lend to the kings for them to pay salaries and crusade against the barbarians."

As if to feed Zhu Cihuan, Zhu Mingzhong smiled at him.

"JAC Bank will definitely be willing to give you a loan!"

The reason why Zhu Mingzhong said this is because Royal is the largest shareholder of JAC Bank, and the purpose of saying this is to keep Zhu Cihuan from panicking. was reminded by him like this, Zhu Cihuan reacted, yes, His Majesty will definitely take care of him, he is His Majesty's brother.

At this time, Lu An said with a smile on the side.

"The bank's money is always to be repaid, and the interest is even more, the interest of borrowing one million two years is nearly 100,000, the king can know, the annual income from Semarang is only a few hundred thousand, but it is only barely enough to pay the interest, in the end, the king is the king of Qin, but the bank is the creditor of Qin, a little careless, but the bank can knock the Qin country to the bone and squeeze it clean, when the time comes, what does the king think?"

Staring at Lu An, although he knew that he was alarmist, Zhu Mingzhong still had to admit that what he said had some truth, after all, in the 20th century, the developed countries of the West plundered the developing countries of the third world through bank loans, and they naturally "knocked out the bones and sucked the marrow" of those countries. And countries that are heavily indebted are often simply left to extortion by foreign bankers.

Zhu Cihuan, who was taken aback by Lu An's alarmism, looked at His Majesty a little nervously, and when he saw His Majesty, he asked/

"Oh, since that's the case, then presumably Lu Gongzi must have a good plan and a good plan, you might as well say it and listen to it."

Looking at this thirty-something-year-old Lu An with a smile, Zhu Mingzhong wanted to know what good strategies this "Nanyang man" had.

"Does Huang Gongzi know about Spain?"

found that in many cases, King Qin would always set his eyes on this Huang Gongzi, as if he was asking for his meaning, and only thought that Lu An, who had great influence on King Qin, transferred the object of lobbying to Huang Gongzi.

"Spain, you're talking about the Spaniards in Manila, Luzon."

"It's them, so does Gongzi know that in addition to Luzon, Spain still has several times more colonies in the Americas than the Ming Dynasty!"

Once upon a time, for the first time, he knew that Spain actually had a colony twice that of the Ming Dynasty, and Lu An was even more shocked, so that in the next few days, he was immersed in the news, but to his surprise, this Huang Gongzi was completely unaffected.

"Well, you say."

Zhu Mingzhong just nodded slightly.

"It seems that Childe also knows something about Spain, so does Childe know how the Westerners occupy no less than my Ming Dynasty Province with more than 1,000 people, and more with less?"

Lu An took a deep breath, and saw that King Qin and that Huang Gongzi did not speak, so he continued quite proudly.

"The Spaniards went to the Americas, similar to my Ming Dynasty, in that they all led troops into the Americas, and because of this, the Spanish colonization was also militarized. Everywhere they went, and after defeating the natives, they had to build a stronghold and use it as a city. Once a stronghold or town was built, the king of Spain would reward the surrounding generals with the surrounding land. The marginal portions of these lands were further divided among the generals for their soldiers, with the cavalry getting more land than the infantry. This was the way the early Spaniards carved land, both in the Americas and in Manila. ”

Nodding slightly, Zhu Mingzhong did not speak, he naturally had a certain understanding of the Spanish colonization method. Later, as the Spanish occupied more and more land, they simply did not have time or need to build more towns. The land far from the towns was divided among the officers and soldiers of the colonies. So a more direct way of demarcating the land has been formed: the places I can see are mine, and the places I can't see, as long as they are useful, are also mine. The banks of this river are mine, and the sides of that road are also mine.

As a result, the land of the Spanish landlords had a characteristic: it was large. Among them, the largest private estates can be hundreds of acres in size. Some of these largest private estates were used for agriculture and became super-large farms. Others became mines or factories for the exploitation of the various metal minerals produced in New Spain.

Seeing that Zhu Cihuan was about to speak, Zhu Mingzhong shook his head, and then said.

"So what?"

"Therefore, the small people think that the king can learn from the methods of the Spaniards and distribute the land to officials and generals, just like His Majesty's feudal clan."

Then Lu An changed his words again and turned his gaze to King Qin.

"Your Majesty divides the clan into princes, and must obey the orders of the imperial court, and the princes have the obligation to defend the territory for my Ming Dynasty, to fight with his retinue, to pay tribute and pilgrimage, to govern the vassal states, and to defend the country. In this case, why can't the king follow the example of the Zhou law and divide the scholars and soldiers again within his own fiefdom, and give them the land and the people. The land and people of the scholars and scholars were all taken from the king, and naturally they had to bear obligations to the king such as service, taxes, and war. In this way, not only did the king not have to pay the salaries and salaries of the officials and soldiers in the court, but they also took the initiative to guard the land for the king and educate the people, after all, the land was their land, and the people were their people. ”

Lu An didn't mention the Lu family's business at all, he was completely looking like he was giving advice to King Qin, and he seemed to have a lot of self-recommendation, but his words hid his purpose - to give land and people, what kind of people are you giving? Why did the natives farm for the soldiers and soldiers?

"This ......"

Zhu Cihuan glanced at His Majesty.

"This method seems to be similar to the military industry field that our dynasty rewarded soldiers."

As soon as his words fell, Zhu Mingzhong shook his head and said.

"It's completely different, what I am rewarding is the field, and what Lu Gongzi is talking about is the field and the people, this ownerless field can be rewarded, but how can the people be rewarded?"

In Zhu Mingzhong's heart, he actually knew the answer, and he could almost conclude that the reason why Lu An came to King Qin was entirely because there were no farmers in the farms in Nanyang, and they were all slaves! Of course, this is also a characteristic of the area, where many places are still in fact in a semi-primitive and semi-feudal society, which also makes it possible to have fewer freemen and more slaves.

"Huang Gongzi, do you know that in the Nanyang countries are slaves, the Dutch in the Batavia plantations, slaves are not less than tens of thousands, and even use the local "thief system" to sell a large number of slaves, and in Semarang, there are no less than tens of thousands of slaves, and the Sudan countries in the South Seas are even more slaves and slaves, and all of them are engaged in this, and in Mataran, all the pagan people are plundered into slaves for their servitude. ”

When explaining the difference between Nanyang and China, Lu An deliberately emphasized.

"Moreover, dividing the people into scholars and soldiers is more conducive to the king's education, and within a few years, they will definitely change to Han etiquette and Chinese, and after a few generations, they will naturally be able to turn razed into Xia. Huang Gongzi thinks so? ”
