Chapter 724: Ascending Channel

"Han Chinese immigrants have to rely on their own consciousness, and I can't force them to migrate."

Xu Shiyang shook his head and said to his son:

"It's easy to say that the number of Han people who can go to the west of the Green Mountains depends on what policy your Qin State is willing to give."

"Heh...... no matter how good the policy we give, can we still have the policy of the empire?"

Xu Daixuan smiled bitterly and shook his head:

"The Han people went to Liaodong to divide the land directly, and went to Hezhong Mansion to directly divide the land; If you go to Liaodong, you can share a Fusang woman, and when you come to our Hezhong Mansion, you can also share a Pars female slave at most, what? The white slaves of Pars are more to the taste of the common people than the Fusang slaves? ”

That's not necessarily, the aesthetics of the Han people in this era don't think that Caucasians are better-looking, and in fact, they don't think that Caucasians are whiter than yellow people.

"So you have to think of a way from elsewhere, don't always be a land woman, these things are not lacking in the country."

Xu Shiyang reminded:

"But it is much more difficult to improve the social status in China than in Qin."

The empire was too strong, and the battlefield casualties were less than 1,000, but it was the water and soil adaptation that caused thousands of diseases and injuries.

It is estimated that there will not be much difference in the destruction of Dali this time.

Battlefield casualties were minimal, which was a good thing for the empire and the cabinet - at least the pension could be paid a little less, and the cost of the war would be much less.

As far as the officers and men are concerned, this matter can only be said to be good and bad.

For example, it is much more difficult to gain enough credit on the battlefield to improve the social status of oneself and one's family now than it did ten years ago.

At that time, the head of a Jurchen armor soldier was a merit, killing enough ten enemies, or completing the tasks assigned by the superiors several times, the citizenship could be obtained, if it was lucky or really heroic, it was not difficult to mix a low-level nobleman after several battles.

But not now, killing a hundred enemies on a battlefield like Cochin won't make you praised as a warrior, because it's so normal.

Military merit is difficult to obtain, and the difficulty of obtaining credit in other aspects has also increased correspondingly, and the current empire, an ordinary commoner who has just reached adulthood at the age of 18, is estimated to be able to rise to civilianism in twenty years, and it will take another twenty years to become a citizen.

And slaves, if they are lucky enough, spend their whole lives to become commoners.

In other words, despite Xu Shiyang's continuous efforts, the classes of the empire are still solidifying, and the upward circulation channels of the common people are narrowing.

This is a very dangerous trend.

"What my father means is that if I can have more preferential policies on meritorious service, there will be more people in the mainland who will voluntarily emigrate?"

"Isn't it?" Xu Shiyang said with a smile: "As the empire becomes more and more stable, it has become more and more difficult to improve oneself in political status, but your frontier is different, although the left officials and nobles of the subject country are a little lower than those in China, but they are always much better than the common people. ”

In addition, although the channel for the empire to rise has narrowed, the hole for the decline is still like that, and the Han people have committed crimes, as long as it is not a capital crime, it is normal for them to be punished and reduced to commoners.

The nobility also had to reduce their titles with each generation, and the next generation of citizens, if they did not have enough merit, became commoners.

So, recently, Xu Shiyang has been thinking about how to re-broaden the channels for the people at the bottom to rise - when it is becoming more and more difficult to obtain military merits.

Perhaps, it is a good idea to improve through education?

Xu Shiyang plans to formulate a new policy to directly promote all high school graduates to citizens after rolling out high school education in all provinces, giving the new generation of educated people a higher starting point.

This is also of great benefit to the persuasion of students, and the same is true for the implementation of new-style education and the consolidation of the foundation of science and technology.

Xu Shiyang knew that in the era when he came, there were many people in China who particularly hated and opposed exam-oriented education, and advocated quality education and happy education.

He didn't want to know what the purpose of those people was, but he thought that the Chinese Empire had not yet developed to that point, and he must vigorously promote exam-oriented education, and use it to properly spread the rule of the whole country.

In addition to education, another channel for the bottom to rise is the various subject countries.

Especially those unstable factors of peaceful life in the country - heroes, rangers, heroes, martial arts masters, and even green-skinned thugs, Xu Shiyang plans to pack them all up and kick them to the subject country to vent their unquenchable pride to foreign enemies.

"You make the policy, and I imply that the cabinet will help you publicize it."

徐世杨 says:

"If you have a heart for military merit, I will try my best to help you collect it from your subject country, this is probably the best way."

"Also, I'm about to set off again, those people in the rivers and lakes, I want to find a way to send them here, I can't help too much else."

"If you want more population, you need to rely on yourself, at most I will give you some more foreign population."

Xu Daixuan smiled and said: "It sounds like those famous factions on the rivers and lakes are going to be unlucky? But it's good, I don't like these unstable factors in China, but I welcome them here. ”

"My son is here, thank my father for his support."

……

The progress of the Chinese army on both the Nanyang and Dali fronts was very smooth.

After joining forces with the Han of the Three Buddhas, the King of Chu asked the former Zhou Emperor who accompanied the troops to canonize Liang Daoming, the king of the Three Buddhas, as the official King of the Three Buddhas.

However, Liang Daoming himself was not stupid, although he accepted the canonization of the king of Srivijaya Qi, he asked the king of Chu to personally canonize him the title of Chu State.

Obviously, in the eyes of the Han people in Nanyang, the previous week is already in the past, and the canonization of the little emperor is worthless in Gao, but it is the canonization of Xu Shisong, the king of Chu, who represents the subject of the Chinese Empire, which is much more valuable.

Xu Shisong was very disappointed, but in fact, there was no way, as the prince of the Chinese Empire, he had to canonize Liang Daoming, the representative of the Han descent of Nanyang, as the earl of Chu (the highest title that the prince could directly canonize).

This canonization was reassuring to the Han Chinese, who had been worried that the empire would also treat them, the remnants of their overseas survival, as outcasts.

Well, now it's superfluous to worry.

After the meeting, the Imperial Navy separated from the Chu army after a short rest, and their task was to attack the Mahakahit vassal kingdom of Malacca, and the next conquest of Majapahit needed to be carried out by the Chu army alone.

Of course, attacking the subject states of Majapahit was to reduce the pressure on the Chu army.

In early November 1797, the Chinese Marines landed in Jeddah on the Isthmus of Malacca, and then quickly surrounded Manraka, the capital of the Kingdom of Malacca.

The Chinese army did not rush to attack the city, but always besieged the weakly defended city, waiting for the army of the Kingdom of Malacca to come back.

This obvious encirclement tactic was very successful, and on the 5th, 10th, and 14th days of November, the Marines annihilated three support armies in succession, destroying about 30,000 enemy troops.

It was only on the 15th that an attack on Manraka was launched, and the city was conquered on the same day.
