Emperor Chongzhen chose to put aside the matter of whether to let the prince of Liao add the title of king of the Wa Kingdom - anyway, Shen Hao, the governor of Kyushu Island, is still on Kyushu Island, and Zhengren has not officially proposed to let the prince of Liao add the title of king of Wa Kingdom, so Emperor Chongzhen is naturally not in a hurry.

Anyway, there is time to give Lu Xiangsheng and others a headache.

After thinking carefully about the content of the information, Emperor Chongzhen spoke: "At present, the whole country of Wa is only discussing with Tokugawa Iemitsu, and even the queen of Masahito does not know about this matter, let alone others.

As for the relevant information, Jin Yiwei directly copied a copy and sent it to Lu Ge Lao in the future, and the Zhongji Hall also sent a copy, and everyone Aiqing also pondered it to see what to do.

However, in my opinion, even if it is accepted, it must be delayed, at least until all the major projects of my Ming Dynasty are completed. ”

Lu Xiangsheng was able to see the advantages and disadvantages, but Emperor Chongzhen only saw the disadvantages, not even half of the benefits.

For Emperor Chongzhen, the territory of the Wa Kingdom is not big, not small, and any piece of land that you get down is bigger than it, what are the benefits?

As for the disadvantages, it's obvious, because of the dog biting the owner, the Wa Kingdom has done it once or twice, even if it is to be the godson of Eagle Sauce in the next generation, the Wa Kingdom has been thinking about how to bite a piece of meat from Eagle Sauce's father.

even shouted the slogan of buying Eagle Sauce for a while, but it was only after being strongly taught by Eagle Sauce to be a man that it stopped - this kind of dog that keeps biting its owner, who raises it, who knows, anyway, Emperor Chongzhen doesn't want to raise it.

What's more, the current Wa State still has some uses, such as taking the Wa people as overseers, plus this reason, Emperor Chongzhen doesn't want to raise such a dog even more.

Therefore, Emperor Chongzhen's instructions are to drag it down, anyway, there is a king in the Wa Kingdom now, and there is no need to insert the name of the King of the Wa Kingdom on the body of the prince of Liao.

As for when the major projects of Daming will be completed, it is really difficult to say, because there is a project that has not started even now.

The tomb of Emperor Chongzhen.

It seems to be a rule since ancient times, and I don't know when it started, the emperors of the Central Plains like to start revising the tombs after they ascend the throne, and generally they have to repair for as long as they reign, and the scale depends entirely on the length of their reign.

I don't know what the reasons for this are, in addition to the factor of pretending to be arrogant, it probably has something to do with not wanting to over-consume people's power? It is also possible that you are worried that you will have no place to bury yourself when you die, or that you are worried that your daughter-in-law will hang in front of you and have nowhere to bury it?

What the other emperors think, Emperor Chongzhen didn't know, and he couldn't dig a few graves, and then call a few emperors to consult their thoughts.

But since Emperor Chongzhen ascended the throne to the present, the project of the tomb has not been started, even if the Ministry of Industry has proposed it has been rejected by Emperor Chongzhen.

In Emperor Chongzhen's opinion, he is still young, he eats and drinks well now, and it is unlikely that there will be any accidents, why are you repairing the mausoleum so early?

With the development of time step by step, Emperor Chongzhen's achievements are more and more, and it is conceivable that when Emperor Chongzhen controls Bintian, the scale of the tomb must not be small.

Even if you are not in a hurry to repair it now, you will have to start repairing it when Emperor Chongzhen is fifty years old - can this project be small by then? Wouldn't it still have to be a large number of laborers and overseers?

Emperor Chongzhen also had no willful interest in letting future generations dig up their own, whether it was archaeology or tomb robbing.

In order to eliminate the risk of being excavated, the relevant drawings of the tomb will be destroyed, and the descendants of those who designed the tomb will be closely monitored for generations, and as for the actual construction workers and those who oversaw the work, according to the custom of other emperors, some of them will be disposed of, especially those who built the core tomb and the organs in charge.

Emperor Chongzhen was reluctant to dispose of the people of the Ming Dynasty, so there were better laborers in the world than barbarians? What better overseer could be than a Japanese slave? Both are consumables, and you can spill them when you run out of them, and you don't feel distressed......

In this way, there will be a buffer period of more than 20 years for this matter, and there is no need to worry at all, unless the construction of Emperor Chongzhen's mausoleum is completed, and the laborers and supervisors who should be dealt with are disposed of - it is really going to be that day, it is estimated that Emperor Chongzhen will be cold.

……

Emperor Chongzhen was pondering whether he was cool or not, but Cohen returned to the Netherlands with a fiery heart.

It is still beneficial to sell a lot of news in Europe by yourself, in addition to allowing yourself to obtain the status of a Ming citizen, you also get an extra place, and the others are only half.

Cohen kept the spot for his wife.

Lee Seung-yan was curious that Cohen did not choose to leave this place to his parents, nor did he choose to leave this place to his children, but instead left it to his wife.

This makes it difficult for Li Chengyan to understand - how important the quota of the people of Daming is, it may not be seen at all in Daming, because everyone has it in Daming, so it doesn't feel precious.

But in that war-torn part of Europe, the identity of a Ming citizen is more of a security guarantee.

Taking Cohen himself as an example, even if the Netherlands is finally defeated, the identity of the Ming people is enough to ensure Cohen's security in Europe, at least the Holy Roman Empire will not treat him well, and the Holy See will not treat him badly.

As for the other small vassal states, do they have the courage to provoke the Ming Dynasty? Now that Da Ming didn't take the initiative to provoke them, it was already a fluke.

In Li Chengyan's view, this kind of opportunity to live is acceptable to parents or to their children - parents are the grace of nurturing, and giving up the chance to live to parents is filial piety, which is a matter of course.

Children are the continuation of their own bloodline, and it is normal to give them to their children for the sake of the next generation.

As for the wife, when the two of them become married couples, they are already destined to live together and die together, as long as it is not Su Laopo-style affection, it is enough to accompany his wife to die together, why do you have to give this quota to your wife?

Cohen's answer to Li Chengyan's question is also very simple - parents will eventually grow old, children will eventually leave him when they grow up, and only his wife will really accompany him to old age.

Since they have been together for a lifetime, it is not normal for this place to be given to their wives?

Although Li Chengyan disagreed with Cohen's explanation, he did not object, but he did not object - this is really affectionate, not like Su Laopo, although he disagrees, but admires his choice.

After returning to the Netherlands, Cohen wasted no time, and did not even tell his wife about having a Ming household registration.

Cohen, who has read a lot of Daming books, understands in his heart that the reason why Daming gave him an extra household registration quota is just to buy horse bones.

To put it simply, it is because of his betrayal of European intelligence that he has been recognized by Daming, and Daming needs to become a role model, a benchmark, and tell others the benefits of following Daming.

Therefore, I can't slack off - as long as I perform well enough, I still have to worry about the number of Daming household registration places in the future? Later, when I got more places in the Daming household registration, I still have to worry about who to give and who not to give to?

Their parents, their own children, and their lovers and illegitimate children, none of them are a problem, and they are still tangled with a fart!

After pushing open the door of the conference room, Cohen first fanned the folder in his hand a few times, and then frowned and said, "Gentlemen, please be restrained when smoking, especially when you have a meeting." ”

After coming to the stool and sitting down, Cohen spoke: "Gentlemen, first of all, I have good news and bad news, which one do you want to hear first?" ”

Lansing smiled directly: "Mr. Cohen, I hope you can turn bad news into good news, rather than being hit after hearing good news." ”

Shrugging his shoulders, Cohen smiled and said, "Forget it, I don't have God's ability to make bad news into good news, and Lansing, your crow's mouth is really powerful." ”

Seeing that everyone else frowned slightly, and there was a bit of nervousness and entanglement in their expressions, Cohen stopped selling Guan Zi and said directly: "First of all, congratulations to all gentlemen, your gold has not been wasted.

You yourself, as well as those you requested, are now half of the citizens of the Ming Dynasty, and you will have the household registration of the Ming Dynasty, but the word naturalization will be indicated on it, which is the good news I brought back to you.

As for the bad news, it's also because of the word naturalization. Because of the existence of these two words, it means that you are not completely a citizen of the Ming Dynasty, you cannot participate in the imperial examination, and you cannot question the decrees of the government, all you can do is accept. ”

Everyone else was a little dissatisfied in their hearts - gold, or a hundred taels of gold, such a large sum of money is not a small amount no matter where it is placed, especially many people have bought dozens of places at one time.

The result? But can't get back a complete Ming household registration?

Cohen ignored the other people's faces, and continued: "As for what I just said about Lan Xin's crow's beak is very powerful, it is also for this reason, because I got half of the Ming household registration for you, and the word naturalization can be removed. ”

After taking out a yellow book of Daming's household registration from his arms, Cohen solemnly placed it on the table, motioned for others to take it and take a look, and then continued: "See, there is no note of the word naturalization in my household registration, which means that I already have a hundred acres of land, I can study, be an official, or join the army."

And later, except for my wife's page, the rest have naturalized two, which means that they have no land allocation, no right to study, and no right to be an official or a soldier, they are just protected by the "Law of the Ming Empire". ”

Lan Xin frowned and said, "Half a household registration? So how do you get the other half of your household registration, like you? ”

Cohen, who was still disgusted with other people's intemperance when smoking, lit the cigarette he brought back from Daming: "It's also difficult to say it's difficult, and it's easy to say it's simple."

As long as you can speak fluent Daming, know the Chinese characters of Daming, and be familiar with some important Daming laws, you can obtain a complete Daming household registration.

Of course, I have worked hard to get it for you, and your children, including my own, will have to learn to write in the Ming script in order to get a complete household register. ”

After dispersing the cigarettes in the cigarette case among the others, and signaling them to taste the cigarettes from the Ming Empire in the Far East, Cohen continued: "My wife and I are registered completely, in fact, for a very simple reason.

It is because I know the writing of the Ming Dynasty and can speak the language of the Ming Dynasty that I will have a complete household registration, which in itself should be expected by all gentlemen.

As for my wife's household registration, it was because I did something good for Daming, so I got an additional complete household registration quota, and I left it to my wife. ”

Lan Xin frowned and said, "Mr. Cohen, I think we should all be considered to have contributed to the Ming Dynasty, right?" Don't forget, half of the entire European theater is using the weapons we sell.

In other words, not only have we made a lot of profits for Daming, but we have also made Europe even weaker, is this not enough for us to get a full place? ”

After shaking his head slightly, Cohen said, "I'm sorry, Lansing, though I don't want to hit you too hard.

First of all, Daming's arms are not sold at all, with us and without us, the final result will not change, without the Dutch East India Company, there will be other East India companies, there will be West India Company, and even Daming can sell directly.

Our people are tantamount to making money on the basis of the Ming Dynasty's arms, and our so-called contribution is simply a dispensable thing for the Ming Dynasty, which is far less important than your children who can read, speak, and write. ”

Lansing is interested now, a country that respects learning is always more respectable, isn't it?

After praising the cigarette Cohen had brought back, Lansing asked, "So, can you tell me what exactly you did to get you a full spot?" ”

Cohen took a puff of his cigarette before he said meaningfully: "I compiled all the situation in the whole of Europe into a piece of information, and then gave it to Daming, so I got an extra place." ”

Without waiting for anyone else to ask, Cohen continued: "Believe me, gentlemen, even if I don't provide this information, Da Ming can still get all the information he wants. And this is an opportunity for all gentlemen.

I think you can always get more information no matter what kind of channel you use, right? ”
