Chapter 361: Feudalism
Divide overseas, once and for all!
Lu Tiaoyang, who was speechless in shock, looked at Shi Yiwen with blank eyes, and then asked.
"You, what do you mean by that? I, my Ming Dynasty is forbidden. ”
"What's the use of having a ban?"
Shi Yiwen looked at Lu Tiaoyang and asked rhetorically.
"Elder Ge, even if there is a ban on the domain, isn't there also King Heng? Now when they take out a Heng King, then in the future, someone will take out other sect members! ”
"So what do you say?"
"The solution is very simple, that is, to regain the feudal way of Zhou officials, and place the feudal clans overseas in Nanyang, so that the Ming clan can be empty, and the imperial court will naturally not need to pay their Zonglu, saving a lot of expenses, and the clans can also be heirlooms overseas, ensuring that food and clothing are safe......
Lu Tiaoyang looked at Shi Yiwen in astonishment, listened to his suggestion, didn't say anything for a long time, and finally said a word.
"Sealed overseas, isn't overseas also the territory of the local king? We can't send troops to attack the vassal king! ”
"You don't have to send troops, most of those Nanyang lands have their own national conditions, and the places actually managed by the Tuwang are actually hundreds of miles around the national capital, and the vast majority of the natives don't know what the country is at all, otherwise there will be no Westerners to establish cities and ports in various parts of the Nanyang, and the elder of the pavilion doesn't know, this time I went to Nanyang, and it was effortless to open up a hundred miles of territory for me from the hands of the Tuwang."
Listening to Shi Yiwen mentioning his experience in Nanyang this time, Lu Tiaoyang only felt that the words and words that came out of his mouth made people feel a little unbelievable, and the unheard of place names floated past his ears, which only made him not know what to do for a while......
“…… At least south of the Mekong estuary, nominally belonging to the Khmer, but in fact it is a fertile terra nullius, if you build a city here, you can place a vassal king's mansion, and then south to the Malay Peninsula, the southern end of the peninsula has the country of Johor, most of its land is occupied by Aceh, but most of the land occupied by Aceh is only remote, and you can build a royal city in the north. To the east to the northern part of Borneo, the local area is ruled by the Sulu State, and it is also a place where the government is not governed, and you can build a royal city while building a royal city while sending a permanent rent, and then along the coast to the south, you can build a royal city between Samfa and the Tuguo of Brunei. Although Borneo has several land kingdoms, there are four to five royal cities along the islands, and then there are countless islands on the ocean to the east, which are of different sizes and can be used to house the Ming clan......"
I don't know when, the conversation between Shi Yiwen and Lu Tiaoyang has shifted from feudal to immigration.
"And for the Ming Dynasty, there is also an advantage of the feudal domain overseas, that is, a large number of displaced people can be settled, now my Ming population is increasing day by day, and land annexation is becoming more and more intense, every disaster year has less than hundreds of thousands of millions of people have become landless displaced people, these displaced people will inevitably gather people in it to incite trouble, in case there is a rebellion among the displaced people, only I am afraid that the displaced people will evolve into a wanderer, even if the imperial court is crusaded at that time, it will cost a lot of money and food, rather than so, it is better to encourage the feudal king to attract the exile to the overseas feudal country, Fields were granted there, so that the vassal kings got the population, the displaced people got the fields, and as for the Ming Dynasty, the internal troubles were reduced. ”
Lu Tiaoyang, who was silent, weighed this matter in his heart while looking at Shi Yiwen and asked.
"Is it that easy? Is it really possible to make the chieftain cut the soil without spending a single soldier? ”
"Ge Lao, there are many countries in Nanyang, and there are constant discussions between them, such as Burma's crusade against Siam, Siam's crusade against the Khmer, Annam's crusade against Champong, big countries bully small countries, small countries are just struggling to survive, with the prestige of my Ming Dynasty in Nanyang, I only need to build a city, so that small countries can get the protection of my Ming Dynasty, just like now Siam as early as more than ten years ago, the city of Ayutthaya was captured by the Burmese army, and Siam became a subject country of Burma. The local king is eager to get rid of the rule of Burma and become independent, we can give a certain amount of support, in exchange for Siam ceding the territory of the south, as for Quang Nam is also repeatedly invading the Champang, we can also profit from it, let the Champa cede the land, to ensure that Quang Nam will not pose a threat to the Champa again, of course, after the prince has a firm foothold in the future, they will crusade against the subordinate, then the future, after all, the so-called country in Nanyang is actually just a city, and it is naturally easier to crusade with the government guard......"
"Fuwei ......"
Listening attentively to Shi Yiwen's suggestion to Lu Tiaoyang, he was stunned.
"Do you want to return the palace guard to the vassal king?"
"Of course I have to pay it back!"
Shi Yiwen immediately replied.
"If they don't return the palace guards to the kings, what will they do to establish a barbarian land in the South Seas? Especially the natives are respectful but not virtuous, if there is no deterrence from the feudal king Sanwei, how can they be in awe of the prestige of the feudal king. ”
"Return the palace guard, even if the court agrees, the palace will not agree, after all, after so many years, the ban on the feudal domain has been implemented with great difficulty to the current step, as soon as you open your mouth, you will return the palace guard, and you will lift the ban on the feudal domain, and now there is the rebellion of King Heng, how can the palace agree?"
Shaking his head, Lu Tiaoyang thought for a moment, and then said.
"You can set up prefectures and counties, and the imperial court will directly send troops, as for the vassal king, you can abolish some feudal bans, such as letting him collect local money, grain, and miscellaneous taxes, and the imperial court will naturally not have to pay money, grain, and grain, which can solve the problem!"
"Establish a state and county?"
Immediately, Shi Yiwen shook his head and said:
"As the so-called whip is beyond the reach of the whip, just like the conquest of Annan in the past, the occupation of the local area with troops is not southern, but then the rule is a troublesome matter, and if it is not done well, it is another Annan rebellion. Moreover, I am afraid that few people are willing to go there to be officials, even if someone goes, the emperor is far away, and it is difficult to guarantee that he will not be rampant, do evil, make trouble, and the court will clean up. Just like the officials sent to Annan back then, they only knew that they were expropriating and extorting, and in the end they forced the natives to rebel, even if the imperial court selected the best officials, but the imperial court had so many good officials to send. ”
After speaking, Shi Yiwen shook his head again and analyzed seriously.
"Besides, if you really want to collect it as a state and county, you must garrison the army and immigrate, without a few decades of time, it will definitely have no effect, and it will be equivalent to carrying a burden of decades for the imperial court, and this expenditure will definitely far exceed the clan's domain, which is absolutely unfeasible, and even if the local area becomes rich in the future, it may also leave the hidden danger of secession and splitting, after all, the heart of the non-our race will be different. It is the best strategy to set up states and counties! Besides, since they have given money and grain to a city, why not be more generous and give them all the cities and lands, anyway, it is not the place of the Ming Dynasty, well, it is just to regain the feudal intention of Zhou Tianzi! ”
