Chapter 873: Distribution
Chola bowed his head and admitted defeat, and when the army of Luqi land and water came to the city of Tanjavur under the army, he could only admit defeat in humiliation, and Ceylon became China's bag from then on.
A large number of gold and precious stones were directly shipped back to the Central Plains as war compensation. A small gold mountain was erected at Jinling Wharf, and the gems were dotted on it, shining with brilliant brilliance to the extreme, which caused a sensational impact in all walks of life.
For the first time, the people of the Central Plains had the most intuitive understanding of Tianzhu's wealth.
No amount of text propaganda on weekdays can compare to real money that can be seen with the naked eye.
Ceylon, the gem kingdom, is also known by word of mouth. That's the appeal of wealth.
Emperor Lu was very pleased to see the popular discussion of Tianzhu, but when this 'hot discussion' spread to the prince, it was not beautiful. But in fact, this matter can be traced back to the source, but it was still provoked by Emperor Lu himself.
In order to let all walks of life have a better understanding of Tianzhu, the overseas column of the "News" struck while the iron was hot, and made an 'in-depth' introduction to Tianzhu by taking advantage of the previous waves.
The most important thing is the birth of the caste system and its impact over the millennia.
This influence is firm and unshakable in the Tianzhu Continent. There are strong barriers between their castes, and even if there is a change of dynasty, the caste hierarchy is not easy to change.
For the Chinese dialect that has had the idea of 'man conquers the sky' since the Middle Ages, and for the Chinese dialect who has been shouting 'the prince will have a kind of Xiangning' more than a thousand years ago, the caste system is completely unreasonable and bizarre.
For a time, a kind of contempt from the soul was given to Tianzhu by countless Chinese people.
This is like China in the rabbit era in later generations, when few Chinese people looked up to Tianzhu as a country, or regarded Tianzhu as a competitor in China. Even though Tianzhu's IT industry is well-known and developed, and GPD has long entered the top ten in the world, countless Chinese just despise them. The "caste system" is one of the most direct causes.
As long as its super-complex and acute internal contradictions are not straightened out, it will not pose a threat to China in the eyes of countless Chinese.
They have a population comparable to China's, but the 21st century's self-residual caste system and racial segregation have made the country full of sharp social contradictions, and it is destined to be impossible to give full play to its huge population advantages, thus generating a demographic dividend comparable to China's.
Countless Chinese people despise Tianzhu, and scholars even loudly criticize the "caste system" in newspapers, which is a great opportunity for them to "brush their faces". But some people see another possibility.
"If Fuguo Gong [Lao Jiu] can go to Tianzhu, then the rat has fallen into the rice warehouse and really entered the Fu Nest...... a certain Zhao character said.
Xinfu is not bad. It could even be said that it is already very good. Over the years, Xinfu, as the self-reserved land of the Nanyang sailors, has moved a lot of Han people to other places, laying a solid foundation for it. Not to mention the copper mines that have been explored and developed......
It is not an exaggeration to say that the area is not small, it is very close to the Central Plains, and Xinfu, which has a good foundation, is definitely a 'treasure land'.
Even if there is no longer much room for development, it is enough to be enviable. This is the benefit that the Zhao family got in exchange for selling their ancestors, Emperor Lu Chrysostom said, no matter how coveted you are, no one can change it.
Even the smallest sound can make an impact. Don't look at the calm inside the Lu Qi royal family, in fact, there is already a turbulent undercurrent under the seemingly calm sea. History moves forward, and the royal family ten years ago is very different from ten years later.
Just like the teenagers and the children of several years, there is no comparison.
The Zhao family is quite self-aware, they have done Emperor Lu a great favor, but this does not mean that they can their tails. For ten years, they were 'unknown', that is, several commercial houses were named.
As the mastermind of the Zhao family, Zhao Butry to admit that the face of the Zhao family is not so big, but Tianzhu is really a place that people are reluctant to do. It was not a place for an ambitious person, or a place for a 'Great Huanian' person, because its local 'bad habits' were so ingrained that it would be ten times more difficult to turn it into a land than to conquer it. But for a group of people who only pursue wealth and wealth, there is paradise.
"Although the land of Tianzhu has shortcomings, it is easier to rule. You must know that the people who rule the world with my Zhao family have never been those mud legs, but the doctors of the world. How similar is it to Brahmins and Kshatriyas? ”
All dynasties and dynasties need the support of wealthy families and giants to be stable in the world. From the formation of the gate valve family in the middle of the Han Dynasty to the war of the five dynasties and ten kingdoms, these gate valve families were completely smashed and smashed, and the Zhao and Song dynasties "inherited the past and opened up the future" and replaced the family gate valve with a large-scale imperial examination expansion. In this way, one can quickly gather a wave of loyalty to the Zhao family, and this imperial examination is in a sense a channel for blood transfusion to the Zhao family, providing a steady stream of "talents" for it. And when these 'talents' are all over the government and the opposition, how can the foundation of the Zhao family not be strong and unshakable? At the same time, the military power was confiscated, and the military was controlled by literature, which perfectly solved the disadvantages of martial arts and military generals gaining power.
Even based on the fear of the phenomenon of the 'Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms' military generals usurping the throne, this policy became the national policy of the Zhao and Song dynasties.
In a sense, the imperial examination has replaced the position of the family gate valve, and the 'scholar' who was selected has become the new 'family gate valve'.
For example, the Han family, such as the Fan family......
People all over the world "abandon martial arts and follow literature", and the pen has become a masterpiece, especially those outstanding children of the 'big family', who spend their lives in the classics of the article, which is the trick of governing the world.
In China, Zhao Song still has to take care of the "children of the poor family", but in Tianzhu he needs to take care of a bird? It is enough to change the world with the scholars and doctors to the world with the higher castes.
The implementation of the imperial examination in Tianzhu, at least the promotion of Confucianism among the higher castes, and the implementation of the imperial examination to select scholars - at least on the bright side, to form a model, to become an official, to read Confucius and Mencius, to take the imperial examination!
Then if the higher castes are leveled, how can Tianzhu be unstable? With their backs to the Qi Dynasty, how can they not enjoy wealth and prosperity?
Such a temptation was difficult for the Zhao Song clan to resist.
Even if Zhao Butry looked at the map of Tianzhu and felt the need to give it a try, once he succeeded, the entire Zhao Song clan would be rich and noble. You must know that it is not the royal family of Zhao Song who is 'loyal', but the entire Zhao clan.
The times are driven by small people. Interests are like dark tides hidden under the surface of the sea, pulling 'people' in a direction that no one can predict. No one can predict whether they will be greeted by a vicious storm, a sinister reef, or a brilliant sun.
But there is no doubt that this 'head' opened by the Zhao family hit the stone headlong.
Zhao Butry was assigned to the Great Northwest.
Tianzhu was part of China's interests in the future, and there would naturally be vassal kings in other places, but it was completely different from other vassal kings.
To put it bluntly, the vassal kings who were divided into other places were almost complete kings, and the vassal kings who were divided into Tianzhu were only vassal kings from beginning to end.
- Tianzhu will be a colony for Lu Qi, a colony in the true sense of the word.
At the earliest, Lu Qian also felt that he could let the prince who was sealed to the northwest pounce on Tianzhu with the hungry wolves on the grassland, and then dye the entire Tianzhu yellow.
But now he felt that it was completely unnecessary, and Tianzhu's resistance was far beyond his expectations. In this case, it is better for the herdsmen of the northern steppes to follow the army to the west.
And Zhao Butry, who was very restless, also went to the northwest to stay honestly, which made Lu Qian more comfortable.
