Everyone took turns to carefully read the recital written by Liu Jin to Emperor Hongzhi.

This is not once or twice, when it comes to national affairs, Emperor Hongzhi likes to show Liu Jin's recital to everyone and ask for Liu Jin's opinion.

Jane is in the heart of the emperor, and this is the case.

Liu Jin rarely wrote about the songs, but every time he played the songs, Emperor Hongzhi attached great importance to them, and the things involved were all national events related to the Ming Dynasty.

This report contains not only discussions and recommendations on overseas private colonies, but also on the good policies of the various high-ranking officials in the South Seas, and about the evils of slavery and how to deal with them.

Among them, there is Liu Jin saw the huge challenges and influences brought by colonization to the Ming Dynasty, not only the wealth that poured in from overseas, but also a variety of ideas, cultures, races, religions, etc., which were also bound to enter the Ming Dynasty.

Through this recital, everyone seems to see clearly the development of the Ming Dynasty in the next hundred years, the rolling wealth from all over the world poured into the Ming Dynasty, along with the influx of wealth, as well as from all over the world to gather to the Ming Dynasty new ideas, new culture, new religion and new race.

The collision of civilizations and the competition between races, all kinds of problems will also arise.

If Daming can't handle all kinds of relationships and things well, and actively deal with the various collisions that are about to surge, then there will inevitably be all kinds of problems in the future Daming.

The problems of slavery, foreign races, civilizations, religions, and so on, all of these will have extremely far-reaching effects, and many of them will even be deeply rooted and will continue forever.

It is precisely because he saw such a situation that Liu Jin also proposed in the end that in the face of foreign civilization, the Ming Dynasty should take its essence and remove its dross.

The sea is tolerant of all rivers, but it also depends on what it contains.

Only by absorbing the essence of other civilized races can we continue to grow ourselves, if the essence is not learned, but instead of learning their dross, not only can not strengthen themselves, but even affect themselves.

"It's worthy of being a son of a master~"

"He is the sage of the world!"

Liu Jian couldn't help but let out a long sigh after reading it.

When everyone was still frowning about these trivial things in front of them, Liu Jin had already seen the situation that Daming would face in the future, and he also proposed corresponding solutions.

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks what Liu Jin said is very true, every plan, every strategy is for the thousands of years of my Ming Dynasty, and for the prosperity of my descendants of Yan and Huang."

Li Dongyang deeply agreed with Liu Jian's words, and also stood up and said.

"Your Majesty, the ministers also think so."

The other ministers looked at each other and expressed their attitudes.

Regardless of whether Liu Jin sees the future or not, for the time being, the issues that Liu Jin said about the ownership of overseas private colonies are also in line with everyone's questions.

The Ming Dynasty encouraged private individuals to develop colonies overseas, and whoever opened up the colonies belonged to whom, of course, nominally belonged to the Ming Dynasty, but the right to manage, benefit, and rule the colonies belonged to the pioneers.

That's enough.

Everyone has shares in the United Western Commercial Bank, and if they really do what Liu Jin said, the island of Ceylon will belong to the United Western Commercial Bank in the future.

The output and management of Ceylon Island belonged to the Western United Trading Company, and as long as the tax was paid to the imperial court every year, the imperial court did not care about anything else.

Such a policy could not be better for them.

For Emperor Hongji, this was also acceptable.

Overseas land, far from the Ming Dynasty, does not matter.

Someone went to fight down, not only can spread the majesty of the Ming Dynasty, after this is defeated, he Hongzhi Emperor only needs to give the Dao Holy Decree, the next appointment letter and the like, and then he can get a tax from this colony every year in vain.

It's easy to do things with money.

By constantly collecting money from overseas colonies, you can continue to move the population out of the Ming Dynasty, and you can also build large-scale water conservancy and highways in the Ming Dynasty.

With the same money, the Ming Dynasty can form a larger army and a more powerful fleet, and then it can conquer the Quartet and seize more land.

Step by step, relying on the Ming Dynasty, we will lay more and larger territories.

As for fame or something, does it have silver incense?

In the past, Daming cared a lot about reputation, but what did he get in exchange?

In exchange for the internal and external troubles of the Ming Dynasty, in exchange for the poverty of the Ming Dynasty's own people, in exchange for the ruling class inside the Ming Dynasty is like a vampire, only staring at the people of the Ming Dynasty to suck blood.

Now, the object of everyone's blood sucking is gradually transferred to other countries other than the Ming Dynasty, and the people of the Ming Dynasty have a chance to breathe.

Water can carry a boat or capsize a boat.

The living standards of the people of the Ming Dynasty have improved, and naturally the Ming Dynasty is solid, and the old Zhu family is not a problem for thousands of generations.

If the people can't survive, how long can the old Zhu family last?

Emperor Hongzhi can understand this, so everything revolves around this, and everything else is not important.

"Since all of you Aiqing think this policy is very good, then follow what is written above and formulate a detailed legal system, and in addition, the slaves and foreigners mentioned in Liu Jin's settling in Daming, buying real estate, land, spreading religion, marriage and other issues, should also formulate a detailed law and regulation as soon as possible."

Hongji looked at everyone, since everyone agrees, then do it according to this meaning.

"Your Majesty Shengming!"

Everyone shouted in unison.

The opinions of the top and bottom are the same, and the interests are the same, so the minister acts very quickly.

Soon the Ming court promulgated the "Ming Private Overseas Colonies Law", referred to as the "Colonial Law", the colonial law clearly proposed that the Ming court encouraged and supported private individuals, groups and other overseas colonies, and opened up colonies, the Ming court only collected taxes, and the management, ruling and income rights of the colonies all belonged to the pioneers of private colonies.

Of course, there are also many requirements for the colonies, such as the colonies must vigorously promote the civilization of China, respect the way of Confucius and Mencius, and so on.

These requirements and regulations, in fact, are mainly to prevent these colonies from breaking away from the control of the Ming Dynasty, and always make these colonies have to rely on the Ming Dynasty and act as the vanguard of the Ming Dynasty's colonization of the world, rather than really making you a country and China overseas.

As soon as the "Colonial Law" was promulgated, it was immediately spread throughout the Ming Dynasty in the form of a newspaper, and at the same time, the Ming Morning Post also published the Colonial Law in detail and many famous scholars explained the newly promulgated Colonial Law.

The entire Ming Dynasty was also boiling because of the promulgation of the colonial law.

Tianjin, Songhu, and Nanjing, the three ports of foreign affairs, the proprietors of the commercial houses are almost about to celebrate each other, especially the Western United Commercial Houses that have occupied the island of Ceylon.

The shareholders of the entire Western United Commercial Bank gathered in Tianjin again, all smiling on their faces, and their hearts that had been hanging were also falling heavily.

The Western United Commercial Bank, in which everyone invested, reaped great returns.

If nothing else, the property seized from the island of Ceylon alone can still receive more than twenty times the income after paying the taxes.

And this is only the seizure of property on the island of Ceylon, which is nothing compared to the island of Ceylon.

The letter of appointment from the imperial court has also been issued.

The imperial court officially appointed Hu Xian of the United Western Commercial Bank as the first governor of Ceylon Island in the Ming Dynasty, and at the same time, it also issued a certificate to the United Western Commercial Bank, officially assigning Ceylon Island to the quasi-owned property of the United Western Commercial Bank, and issuing a large title deed to the United Western Commercial Bank.

The title deed says that the island of Ceylon belongs to the United Western Commercial Bank, and if it does not violate the interests of the Ming Dynasty, this contract is valid forever.

That is, this Ceylon Island belongs to the permanent private property of the Western United Trading Company, which has been recognized and recognized by the Ming court, and is also protected by the Ming court.

Just like the real estate, shops, and real estate here in the Beijing-Tianjin area of Daming, there are all land deeds, but this land deed is a bit big and a little special.

But the essence is the same.

The core is that this is the land of the Ming Dynasty, which belongs to the property of the Western United Commercial Bank, and is protected by the Ming Dynasty, and it is also necessary to pay taxes to the Ming Dynasty and implement everything in the Ming Dynasty.

Hu Xian became the governor of Ceylon, well, the court did not give Yulu, and there was no grade, let alone the early dynasty, but Emperor Hongzhi allowed the governor of Ceylon to have the power to write to himself.

Despite this, this is definitely exciting news for countless Ming people.

In the past, officials could only become officials if they had passed the imperial examination.

But now it's different, you don't need to take the imperial examination, as long as you are strong enough to go overseas and occupy a colony, then you can become the governor of an overseas colony.

Although there is no imperial court and rank, the power they have is far from being comparable to these local officials in the Ming Dynasty.

If you are the one who kills this private colony, then you are the emperor of the whole colony and have absolute authority.

This is definitely an unbeatable allure for many people.

In addition, the right to benefit and manage the overseas private colonies belonged to the pioneers.

This also made countless people instantly red and excited, as if they had been beaten with chicken blood.

Think of the island of Ceylon, think of the United Western Firm.

They're really making a lot of money.

Ceylon is such an important place, such a huge island, a treasure island rich in gems and spices.

Now it has become the private land of the Western United Trading House, and in the future, even if this Ceylon Island does nothing, it will be able to support the Western United Trading House by digging up gems and selling them every year.

As long as you are able to operate a little, this island of Ceylon can bring a lot of money every year in the future.

Not to mention anything else, just building a port and doing transit trade is enough to make the Western United Commercial Bank make a lot of money.

The shareholders of the Western United Trading Company laughed from ear to ear, and those who did not join in were remorseful.

As for many more, they are agitated.

What can be done by the Western United Commercial Bank, we can also do.

They can occupy the island of Ceylon, we can go to occupy Burma, or occupy Tianzhu, Africa is not bad, in short, overseas is full of treasures, as long as you occupy a piece, you can continue to pass it on in the future, and leave it to future generations.

All of a sudden, the whole of Tianjin was agitated.

In restaurants, teahouses, Qinglou Chu Pavilions, and secret private manors, many powerful tycoons gathered together to discuss the development of private colonies overseas.

There are ambitious people who even want to go it alone.

Overseas, I don't know how many countries are large and small, among which there are countries that are strong and comparable to the Ming Dynasty, but more are countries that are extremely weak.

Many countries may be just an island, or a very small place, with only one county, no matter how big a state or capital is, it does not need much power to deal with such a country.

An elite force of a few hundred or thousands of people is enough to take it down easily.

As long as you can occupy a place like this, the benefits will be very large, the input will be small, the output will be high, and more importantly, it can be passed on from generation to generation to your children and grandchildren.

And in the overseas colonies that he has developed, he is the emperor of the soil, and he would rather be a chicken than a cow, and in the land of Daming, there will never be a shortage of careerists, and there will never be a shortage of those who are self-righteous and want to be kings themselves.

There is no chance in Daming, and now the opportunity is given to you.

In the whole Ming Dynasty, there are too many people who are impetuous and ambitious, and many people want to go overseas to make a fortune, go overseas to be the emperor of the soil, and go overseas to lay a foundation for future generations.

However, more smart people choose to be the same as the Western United Commercial Bank, everyone contributes together, pays money together, and sends people, and then goes overseas to act, and eats big if they want.

What is the island of Ceylon, there are many rich places overseas.

There are precious minerals in some places, such as Jinzhou, the gold and silver production here is very large, gold mines, silver mines are particularly large, and now the Ming court has not attacked here, if it can be occupied, it will not be worse than Ceylon Island.

In other places, there are special productions, such as in Africa, where frankincense, myrrh, ivory, rhino horn and so on are produced.

If there are no special minerals and no production, some people can do it, for example, there are many large and small countries in Tianzhu, not to mention that the population is very large.

If you occupy these places, not to mention anything else, you can make a lot of money just by catching slaves and selling them, you must know that on this side of Nanyang, the price of a slave has reached forty or fifty taels of silver.

Going to sea and opening up private colonies has become the pursuit of countless Ming people almost overnight.

Some large landowners sold their land in their hometowns, raised funds, and gathered villagers to prepare to go to sea to open up colonies.

There are big businessmen who gather all their possessions and unite with people to form trading houses one after another, sharpening their knives and sending pigs and sheep to them.

There are large local families, with large populations, occupying one side, and under the call of the clan elders and patriarchs, everyone contributes money and efforts, and is ready to go overseas to establish a private colony belonging to their own family.

The whole Ming Dynasty is restless, in addition to these people, there are also those who are like bloodsucking worms who have been sucking the vitality of the Ming Dynasty.
