The Nanyang Islands have been deeply influenced by the wind of Tianzhu, whether it is Mahayana and Hinayana Buddhism or Brahmanism, they have flourished for a while.

After the thirteenth century, Arab Islam came, and after the fifteenth century, Europa Christianity came......

As a result, the wind is always blown away by the rain and wind.

Wat Lok Lok is one of the few remaining Buddhist temples in the Malay Peninsula, and every early morning, the bells and drums buzz and bursts of sandalwood music are heard.

The sea breeze was blowing, Ji Aojian looked at the girl in a snow-white military uniform opposite, and said, "When I first met you, Sixth Sister, it was also outside a temple, and you repelled hundreds of masters of the rivers and lakes. ”

I haven't seen her for more than two years, and the silver girl of the past is still silver, but the filament that has passed through the waist is only the short of the ear. Just because in the modern army, it should not be left for a long time, as the commander of the Ming Nanyang Naval Division, she should naturally take the lead in setting an example.

Ji Yuxue said, "That is the first time you have seen me?"

Ji Aojian scratched his head and said with a sneer, "It's the first time since memory loss." ”

Ji Yuxue looked at him quietly, and suddenly asked, "You haven't remembered what happened when you were a child?"

Ji Aojian sighed, "Not yet." ”

Ji Yuxue nodded lightly, "As long as you put it down, you will always remember it." ”

Ji Ao Jian said strangely, "Let go of what?"

Ji Yuxue said, "Put down a qiē." ”

The bells echoed one after another, and the brains of more than a dozen Chinese states in Nanyang came to Changle Temple one by one.

In a sense, this is a political and economic forum meeting, comparable to various regional summits in later generations.

The crowd sat down. The first is to pour bitter water, which is nothing more than how their hearts are directed to the Heavenly Empire, like a child looking up to his loving father. It's just looking through the autumn water, the sea is dry, and the rocks are rotten. However, the imperial court did not pay attention to these sincere overseas Chinese people, and regarded all their admiration as floating clouds.

Ji Aojian listened, but smiled silently.

Someone couldn't stand it anymore and asked, "Little Hou Ye, why are you laughing?"

Ji Aojian's identity today is the lord of the Siberian country. Although it is not an overseas state. However, it is also a foreign state, and although it is not a member of the Nanyang Summit, it can be regarded as an observer state.

The most important. It is Ji Aojian who has a title granted by the imperial court, and his state is equivalent to a legal hukou, not a black household like the Nanyang states. At this point, the lords of Nanyang are really envious.

Ji Ao Kendo. "Your hearts belong to China. But the Celestial Empire ignores you. This is like between a man and a woman, although they are devoted to each other, they do not necessarily succeed in marriage. ”

The people present were all overwhelmed, how could there be such a statement?

"Little Hou Ye, you are so analogous, I'm afraid that something is wrong. ”

Ji Ao said, "What's wrong with this? Everyone knows that a marriage means responsibility." The Celestial Empire's reluctance to do good things with you is also out of consideration for its own responsibility. ”

The crowd asked. "What responsibility should the Celestial Empire consider when accepting us and others?"

Ji Ao Kendao, "Think about it from the standpoint of the Ming Dynasty, if you accept some states in Nanyang to merge into your own territory, you will naturally have the responsibility to defend the territory, educate and help the people. ”

Since ancient times, there have been saints in China, emphasizing the love of the people like sons. Whenever there is a flood, drought, epidemic, or famine in the territory, the imperial court has the obligation to provide disaster relief and rescue to the people.

The Nanyang Islands are at least thousands of miles away from the Central Plains, and the sea is far away, and in the eyes of many Chinese people, even the corner of "Java" represents the end of the world. If disaster relief were to be carried by sea vessels, the burden would be terrible.

Everyone looked at each other. After a while, a businessman-like lord said, "Actually, we don't expect the imperial court to provide disaster relief, and when there is a disaster in the country, we Nanyang Chinese people are still enthusiastic to donate." ”

Ji Aojian smiled and said, "You have always been well aware of the grandeur of repaying the motherland. It's just that Nanyang has really become the land of the Celestial Empire, and if there is a famine and the court ignores it, the people here will naturally feel resentful and feel discriminated against. And the imperial court really can't be indifferent and make the world laugh. ”

So I simply don't want you, lest you be involved in these unclear responsibilities, which are all loss-making transactions.

Ji Aojian continued, "For another example, if you belong to China, then you definitely want your children to participate in the scientific examination. ”

A Confucian lord immediately said, "This is natural, my Zhu family is a scholarly family, and I don't forget to continue the tradition of Chinese studies overseas, and my biggest dream is to be able to go to Beijing to be named on the gold list." ”

Ji Ao Kendao, "According to the rules of the Celestial Empire, all regions have guaranteed scientific research quotas. If Nanyang is included in China, it is necessary to give some indicators for the middle lift. Doesn't this mean that as long as someone has a piece of land overseas, they will have a broad road to enter the official career, which is simply more cost-effective than buying a school district house in Beijing. ”

The civil servants of the Celestial Empire are also very precious, how can they be given to you casually?

The more unsightly everyone's faces became, they just felt that wanting to become the land of the Ming Dynasty was really unreliable at first sight.

Ji Aojian said, "The most important thing is that your states in Nanyang are not stable. If there are people in rebellion within, and there are great powers bullying outside, and they rise and fall, and they will perish with life, how can they accept your territory?"

Most people looked pensive, but some still asked, "Why can't this be accepted, what we hope is that the Ming Dynasty will protect the overseas territories." ”

Ji Ao Kendao, "For a country, it is a great shame to lose the size of the territory. If the Celestial Empire regards these unstable territories in the South Seas as its national territory, then it will often have to face the dilemma of changing and shrinking its territory, and there will be loss of power and humiliation at every turn, who can stand it?"

......

After a long time, an old man hesitated and asked, "Master Ji, you have said so many reasons why the Heavenly Empire does not accept us. But why are the Western countries so vigorous in opening up their overseas territories?"

Ji Aojian nodded, "Good question, the reason why the Western powers want to occupy overseas territory is for commercial interests. ”

Western powers occupy a piece of land overseas in accordance with their own commercial needs, either for the purpose of plundering raw materials or for the dumping of goods.

Ji Ao Kendao, "Overseas territory, that's called a colony, not a mainland. The people in the colonies were treated as second-class, and they would not be treated equally by the suzerain. ”

The colony is the nourishment for the suzerain, only relying on the fists to speak, snatching and fighting is a common thing, one more piece today, one piece tomorrow, not much loss of face, will never be regarded as a great shame by the people of the country as the loss of the homeland.

Someone gritted his teeth and suddenly shouted, "As long as Daming protects our business interests, even if we open up colonies for Daming." ”

Everyone suddenly realized and said, "A colony is a colony, as long as the Celestial Empire is willing to be the suzerain." ”

The Chinese in Nanyang, when they went to sea, only had the idea of begging for a living and doing business, and later they had some power and occupied some territory, but they still retained the sense of businessmen in their hearts, and the overseas industries they earned were the most important, as for the local raw material market or dumping market, it really didn't matter.

Ji Aojian smiled, "It's the most correct thing for you to think like this, but how can you prove that you have commercial interests in Da Ming?"

The Huaxia Dynasty was an agrarian country for thousands of years, and it never cared about overseas interests. Although the Ming Dynasty began to change the law before the previous year, it is far from becoming a climate.

Everyone didn't have any idea after thinking about it, so they had to ask Ji Aojian, "Little Marquis, how do you say to deal with the Celestial Empire?"

Ji Aojian didn't shirk either, and said at the moment, "If you want to become the representative of the overseas interests of the Celestial Empire, you can belong to the Ming Dynasty as a company and pay all kinds of commercial taxes and trade taxes to the imperial court." ”

Everyone was silent for a moment, "Is this really useful?"

Ji Ao said, "How can this be useless? Since you are just a company, not a state, you are unilaterally sending money to the imperial court, but you don't need the imperial court to provide disaster relief, then the imperial court naturally wants to protect your interests." ”

Some people are puzzled, "If we are a company, how can we manage the territory we occupy?"

Ji Aojian sighed, "This is not simple, for Daming, you are the company, for Nanyang, no matter what territory, the company can send a governor to take care of those local natives." ”

This was really a sentence that woke up the dreamers, and everyone suddenly realized, "Yes, yes, this seems to be the number of East India Company." ”

Ji Yuxue said lightly, "As long as you are a company of the Celestial Empire, the Ming Nanyang Naval Master can protect the interests of the company in the name of the Ming Dynasty." ”

When the people heard this, they were even more overjoyed. The predecessor of the Nanyang Naval Division was the Dragon Soul Gang, which shocked the southeast sea, even if it could not deal with the main force of the British Navy, it was not weaker than the second-rate navy of Europe. In the future, everyone will be able to distinguish themselves from the companies of the great powers, and they will no longer be the fat sheep at the bottom.

Ji Aojian said, "Since everyone wants to operate as a company, it is better for everyone to jointly establish a group company, and it will be more convenient for mutual assistance if the forces are combined." ”

Everyone said in unison, "That makes sense." ”

The old man said, "Little Hou Ye, your family is the largest in Nanyang, tell me, what should be the name of our group?"

The Dragon Soul Gang is not only a boat gang, but also a merchant gang, and naturally has a solid territory in Nanyang, and the scale of business is very large. It was Ji Shuijing who played the role of the "governor" of the Dragon Soul Gang, but she was unable to catch up with her because of many affairs of the central bank of the Ming Dynasty.

Ji Ao Kendao, "The ancients said, looking at the immortal mountains overseas. We have exactly thirteen companies here, which can be called three islands and ten continents, all of which are famous fairy mountains on the sea. Well, my family is called Penglai Company. ”

Thirteen companies, named after the three islands and ten continents, include Penglai Company, Yingzhou Company, and Abbot Company...... The group company is called Xianshan Group.

After coming up with the name, someone was suddenly confused, "The three islands and ten continents seem to be all immortal mountains in the East China Sea, but we are here in the South Sea, is this really appropriate?"

Ji Aojian said with a smile, "Brother, you are too worried, we are still discussing in the Buddhist temple today, but we have a Taoist-style company name." (To be continued!)
