Chapter 300: Mei Zizi, Catching Serfs (I)
When Zhu Yunwen took Zhu Di and the two of them rushed to the Wuying Hall together, the scout who had galloped thousands of miles from the southwest had already been waiting outside the hall early.
"Calm down, come in with me."
Walking past the sergeant, Zhu Yunwen took the military newspaper from the hands raised by the former, and strode into the main hall.
Counting the time, the southwest has been fighting for more than half a year, and Zhu Yunwen has never been relieved in his heart.
Nan Tianzhu is too far away from Daming, with the current level of transportation and communication, Zhu Yunwen never thought of implementing a colonial policy of John Bull on Nan Tianzhu, he just wanted to plunder.
Plundered tens of millions of Buddhist serfs in Nantianzhu to fill the infrastructure projects of the Ming Dynasty's rising domestic demand.
Finally, I waited for the military report from the southwest, and I still triumphantly played a victory, so wow.
couldn't wait to open the military newspaper and pick up the fire paint, Zhu Yunwen looked at it attentively.
The content of the letter is very simple, only one or two hundred words, Ma Dajun's temperament is not the kind of character who can write splendid articles, except for the first sentence of the first sentence of the greeting, all dry goods.
Zhu Yunwen was watching, and Zhu Di waited not far away, until the former applauded loudly, and he turned to face Zhu Yunwen on one side, waiting for the emperor's report.
"The southwest has won a great victory, the Ma army has won seven battles and seven victories, and more than 80,000 enemies have been defeated before and after, and the sultan of Zhangpur has fled south to North Delhi."
The brilliant military victory is indeed gratifying, but Zhu Di knows his nephew's temperament, and breaking 80,000 enemies is not enough to make Zhu Yunwen overjoyed.
"According to the agreement before the dispatch of troops, all the gold and silver materials obtained from the battle of Zhangpur this time will be divided equally among the six countries, and I only need to capture and Dingkou."
Zhu Yunwen paced back and forth with his hands, and couldn't help himself with excitement: "There are 370,000 people, all of whom are of the right age, and the ratio of men to women is seventy-three. ”
When Zhu Yunwen signed the "Kunming Seven-Nation Agreement", he made it clear that the six countries would accept all the orders of men, women, and children, but before Ma Dajun left Nanjing, Zhu Yunwen had already made a secret order.
"Don't bring the old people and children back, and Daming doesn't have extra money to give to those countries."
This sentence was well implemented by Ma Dajun, and when the coalition forces were plundering, they deliberately screened out, preferring to catch a strong laborer and run away from three children, rather than bother to catch some old people and children who couldn't be lifted.
"Three hundred and seventy thousand?"
Zhu Di pondered for a while, this is a number of no more and no less, to say a lot, these people threw into the project of Jingdao, and they just made a splash, but it is definitely a lot.
The people who were released returned to their hometowns to reclaim the land were enough to produce a large number of acres of land.
"Now these people are being escorted to Hanoi in Cochin."
Zhu Yunwen summoned a brocade guard and wrote a handwritten letter: "Send the horse to Fuzhou Shipyard quickly, transfer 300 sea ships to Hanoi Harbor, and take the women among these people to Fujian." ”
As early as a few years ago, after Jiaozhi was attached, Zhu Yunwen had already instructed Jian Ding to organize manpower to expand several natural harbors in the east as soon as possible, so that when the Fujian and Zhejiang sailors of the Ming Dynasty went to Southeast Asia in the future, they could supply nearby.
Now, it can be used to transport labor.
"Why did you send the woman to Fujian?"
Zhu Di blinked, there are two Beijing roads, one of which is from Nanjing to Chengdu, these people stayed in the southwest just to start work, why bother to divide it.
"Even if these women use it to build roads, just that little effort will be a logistics job, and it will be wasted."
Zhu Yunwen smiled and explained: "I turned around and ordered the Jiangnan Manufacturing Bureau to open two more silk workshops, and let this group of women go to weave clothes." ”
In recent years, the people of the Ming Dynasty have become richer, and the people will naturally buy some new clothes after they have surplus money every year, and the output of the two weaving bureaus in Jiangnan and Liaodong has almost been digested by the huge internal market of the Ming Dynasty, and the amount of goods sent to the six countries in the southwest and dumped in Southeast Asia with the ship is not large.
If you don't engage in dumping, what will Daming do to grab wealth?
"With such a group of free laborers who only need to take care of a full meal to produce goods, and then dump them into those small barbarian countries, it can be said that a commodity has achieved maximum benefits from the production stage to the sales stage."
If any businessman can do this kind of violent profits, if any businessman can do it, his assets will be multiplied many times a year.
Of course, this is also that Zhu Yunwen, the emperor, can let the country of Daming do it, and if there is such an unscrupulous businessman among the people, he would have been cut down by the Jinyi Wei embroidered spring knife a long time ago.
Even in a capitalist country a few hundred years later, there are no such black-hearted capitalists.
"The man will stay in Chengdu to build roads, oh yes, let the Sichuan political envoy borrow some Zen masters from Wusizang, build a few large temples on the outskirts of Chengdu, and organize this group of things to worship the Buddha."
How to control this group of Asannong slaves in Nantianzhu, Zhu Yunwen has ideas.
At this time, Ah San was not the group of curry Yelang who liked to cross the line and be arrogant 600 years later, and the Hindu teachings of this period were still the beliefs of Ah San, and they were still happy to be fourth-class caste slaves.
The Sunni Green Religious military aristocracy flaunted their might in their country, but because they did not demolish their temples, they were willing to become slaves to the country, which shows how weak the concept of home and country is for such a group of things in addition to recognizing the Buddha.
We have to build more Buddhist temples for them, and by the way, popularize more of the Buddhist doctrine of 'penance in this life and blessings in the next life'.
It is necessary to vigorously publicize that building roads for the Ming Dynasty is more able to accumulate virtue than cultivating oneself, and you will definitely be able to be reincarnated into a first-class family in the next life.
"Now, what is Ma Dajun's next thought in Zhangpur?"
Putting down the military newspaper, Zhu Yunwen looked at the scout who reported the news.
The latter knelt on one knee and bowed his head and said: "Back to the emperor, when the villain received the order to report the news, I heard that the Sultanate of North Delhi had begun to recruit troops and planned to go north, and the general asked the villain to bring the word, and the coalition army would be stationed in Zhangpur to find fighters, and contacted Bahmani in the south of North Delhi, planning to attack the Sultanate of North Delhi in the north and south, and drive all this group of Western Green Cultists back to where they should be." ”
The scout's words made both Zhu Yunwen and Zhu Di laugh.
"Ma Dajun, a muddy person, can even use his brain, know how to work together vertically and horizontally, and find a helper for himself."
"Okay, since I have promised him the right to act arbitrarily, then naturally he has full authority."
Zhu Yunwen waved his hand: "Shuangxi, send someone to take him down to rest for a day, give him a hundred taels of silver to walk around the city of Nanjing, and tell Ma Dajun when you go back, when the North Delhi Sultanate is destroyed, I will replace the second-class medal on his chest for a first-class one." ”
"No."
The scout paused and shouted: "Thank you for the emperor's grace, the villain retires." ”
