For example, Emperor Yongzheng of the Qing Dynasty became a tyrant because he let "the officials and gentry pay grain in one piece", which harmed the interests of the civil class. And his son Qianlong, who is so happy and far away from him, was described as a "holy monarch" by shameless civil officials because he connived at official corruption.

Because Liu Jin harmed the interests of the civil class, this time the amnesty to the world, the civil servants specially proposed that Liu Jin and his henchmen could not be pardoned. Therefore, although Liu Jin did not verify that it was an unpardonable rebellion, he was still suppressed by the ministers and refused to be pardoned. And Zhang Cai, Cao Yuan, Jiao Fang and other people from Liu Jin's party naturally did not get the benefit of being amnesty.

Of course, this is a good thing for Marin. Why? If Zhang Cai is amnesty, then with his ministerial-level retirement level, he will not have to go to Dongfan Island to beg for a living. And Marin will also lose a general. Therefore, Ma Lin was also relieved that Liu Jin's eunuch members were not pardoned this time.

Except for Liu Jin's party and his party, all the bigwigs in the DPRK and China have reaped a lot of benefits, and they have been promoted to the rank of knight. Of course, it is not possible to give a reward such as "all officials are promoted to three ranks". After all, the three cabinets of the cabinet are all deputy state-level bosses, and they can't be promoted.

Therefore, in addition to the amnesty of the world, most of the courtiers who are qualified to go to the court above the fifth rank have been rewarded with the addition of officials to the knighthood. For example, in the Ming Dynasty, Wenxun had ten ranks, and Wuxun had six grades and twelve ranks. In addition, there are forty-two levels of literary dispersion and thirty-two levels of martial dispersion.

The main purpose of this reward is to increase the civil and military ranks and civil and military ranks for the officials. These are fictitious titles, but they are not completely useless. For example, if you have a low rank but a high rank, you don't need to salute someone with a high rank but a low rank. This thing, in fact, is like a noble title, but it is not hereditary. Moreover, with the rank, you can also get an extra salary, which is also very good. Of course, Daming executives don't live on their salaries. Only a clean official will value this thing. However, the rank of medal is also a manifestation of glory, which is very suitable for showmanship, and it is more face-saving to say it.

……

On this happy day of the whole world celebrating in the Ming Dynasty, Ma Lin began to remind the happy Ming monarchs and ministers - what are my benefits?

Zhengde and the Minister of Civil and Military Affairs of the Manchu Dynasty reacted - oops, they actually forgot about the first meritorious personnel who offered the divine food......

Everyone celebrated with the whole world, and they were promoted to the knighthood, and they actually forgot about Marin for a while. In addition to being ashamed, the Ming monarchs who were happy were naturally not stingy......

"Ma Lin, the quasi-lord of the Beihai Kingdom, asked to canonize Ma Lin as the lord of the Beihai Kingdom, and his position is higher than that of the Ming Dynasty. In addition, Ma Lin was canonized as the hereditary Tusi Propaganda Envoy of Dongfan Island (from the third product), and was in charge of the military and civilian affairs of Dongfan Island...... The merchant ships of the Xuanwei Division of Xudongfan Island came to Daming to purchase trade, but they were only allowed to dock at Fuzhou, Ningbo and Guangzhou, and each time they docked, they had to report to the local city's shipping department...... In addition, because of the long distance, the Beihai Kingdom can send envoys to Beijing once every four years to pay tribute. As for the Dongfan Island Propaganda Division, it is necessary to send envoys to Beijing every year to pay tribute and participate in the Zhengdan Dynasty Meeting......"

After some deliberation, the Ming monarch decided to agree to Ma Lin's request to become the Ming Tusi, and granted Ma Lin the highest level of the Tusi (from the third grade), in charge of the military administration of the entire Dongfan Island.

However, for security reasons, the Ming monarch decided to allow only the merchant ships of the Eastern Xuanwei Division to dock at Fuzhou, Ningbo and Guangzhou, three ports where the city shipping division was established.

The Ming Dynasty as a whole was in retreat, and only the three cities of Guangzhou, Ningbo and Fuzhou were retained to receive tributary envoys. Among them, Guangzhou Bosi is dedicated to receiving tributary envoys from Siam, Malacca and other Southeast Asian countries; Ningbo was used to receive Japanese tributary envoys; The landing point of the Ryukyu tributary envoys was originally located in Quanzhou, but later the Ryukyuan people found it closer to Fuzhou. Later, in 1469, the city of Ryukyu was moved from Quanzhou to Fuzhou. As for North Korea, before the rise of the Later Jin and the blocking of the road, it was directly to pay tribute by land in the northeast.

Originally, the ministers were only willing to open the port of Fuzhou for Marin's merchant ships to dock for trade, but Marin was afraid that if there was only one purchasing point, it would be easy for Ming merchants to control the supply of goods and raise prices. Therefore, he asked for more procurement ports to be opened. Shop around so that you don't suffer losses.

Li Dongyang is also a bachelor - you have to shop around, right? Okay, I'll open the three ports of Daming that have opened the city to you. Then, two more points were added to Ningbo and Guangzhou to Marin.

It should be pointed out that the household registration management of Daming is very strict. The reason why the port was not opened easily was because he was afraid that the "strange appearance" of Marin and others would scare the people.

In fact, their concerns are not unfounded. When the Qing Dynasty was first opened, the common people were frightened by the appearance of foreigners and thought they were evil ghosts, so they also called foreigners foreign devils.

Unlike Guangzhou, Ningbo and Fuzhou, which are traditional open ports, people are not surprised. Moreover, the three places are specially opened ports, and it is not a big deal to add them to the Eastern Propaganda Division.

As for going to the local city to report before each trade, Li Dongyang was afraid that pirates would infiltrate the ports of the three places under the guise of the ships of the Dongfan Xuanwei Division. If you accidentally get attacked by pirates, or if you let pirates buy enough supplies, it will be a scourge.

Therefore, before each trade, the merchant ships from the Eastern Propaganda Division must be disarmed, first go to the City Shipping Division for registration, and check the tributary license to avoid someone impersonating.

In this regard, Marin raised his hands in approval. Because, he was also worried that others would borrow the name of Dongfan Island to trade with the Ming Dynasty. For example, the undisciplined Portuguese, if they don't add insurance measures, they will definitely do things that are impersonated. After all, the Beihai and the Portuguese both have similar white faces, and if they don't need documents, they can easily pass off as Beihai merchant ships......

Therefore, for Li Dongyang's cautious approach, Ma Lin welcomed it very much. With insurance measures in place, there is no need to worry about others pretending to be your own ships to rob you of the benefits of trade......

……

Of course, Marin was not satisfied, he also wanted the population......

So, Ma Lin went up and asked for permission to recruit refugees in the Ming Dynasty to go to Dongfan Island to reclaim the wasteland.

However, Ma Lin's request made the Ming monarchs hesitate......

Why? It's still the sweet potato that Marin offered......

Zhengde and the ministers believed that since there were sweet potatoes, it would be difficult for the Ming Dynasty to have disaster victims in the future. Therefore, it is better not to give away people easily......

When Marin learned of this, he was almost so depressed that he vomited blood. Unexpectedly, the sweet potatoes he donated became an obstacle to his introduction of population.

Moreover, what Zhengde Junchen thought was too simple. Didn't the Qing Dynasty also promote sweet potatoes? But weren't the poor people who couldn't eat enough in the Qing Dynasty everywhere?

Sweet potatoes are high-yielding, but you have to have land to grow sweet potatoes first!

If there is no field, no matter how high the yield of sweet potatoes is, it has nothing to do with you......

Therefore, Marin continued to go up and beg the imperial court to allow him to recruit landless refugees and beggars. These people don't have land, and no matter how high the yield of sweet potatoes is, it has nothing to do with them. Since they can't survive in Daming, why don't they give it to Dongfan Island for reclamation? Moreover, legally speaking, Dongfan Island is also the territory of the Ming Dynasty......

After discussing with the courtiers, Zhengde also agreed with Marin's statement - there is no land, and no matter how high the yield of sweet potatoes is, it has nothing to do with them. As a result, Marin also received permission as an immigrant refugee.

However, during the immigration process, Marin had to report to the local government for verification, and only landless refugees were allowed to immigrate, and tenants with land or land were not allowed to be recruited, so as not to affect the food production of the Ming Dynasty itself. In addition, the places for recruiting refugees are limited to the three ports of Fuzhou, Ningbo, and Guangzhou, and no people are allowed to send people to inland areas to solicit refugees......

Although there was a bit of a gap between what he expected, after getting permission, Marin could be regarded as having fulfilled his expectations and achieved his goal......
