Zheng He stopped writing and asked, "Colonial Education Division?" Taizu, does his old man have a clear indication? ”

"Go back to Lord Qincha, the little one doesn't know, the little one just truthfully tells what Taizu and his old man said to me and Lord Qincha." Wang Wenle replied honestly.

"Well, you wait a minute." After Zheng He finished speaking, he said loudly: "Someone." After the attendant pushed the door in, Zheng He said to the attendant: "Change the big teapot and serve refreshments, and from now on, no one will be seen in Ben Qincha." After the attendants left, Zheng He said to Wang Wenle: "Don't be in a hurry to say, you drink tea first, slowly think about what Taizu and his old man said, don't omit anything, and when the attendants are all ready, you can say slowly, Benqin will record it word for word and present it to my emperor." After speaking, Zheng He began to grind ink while drinking tea.

Shaoqing, everything was ready, Zheng He put pen to paper and said: "Wang Wenle, the hour is still early, recall carefully, let's start......"

Taizu said: "One of the prerequisites for this colony is that it must first be strong, as for why? After listening to my old man's words, he will naturally understand. There are several ways of colonization, the first of which is similar to expanding the territory, such as this Annan, which has been included in China's Chinese territory for thousands of years since ancient times, but every time our Chinese nation is troubled by internal and external troubles, it will establish itself as the king and revolt many times. The reason is that the emperor is far away and the value of his land, the value of this land is very well understood, you see that as long as the sour Confucians mention that southern Xinjiang is not a barbarian land and a place of smoke barriers, the fourth brother waved his division south to quell the rebellion in Annam, the army and the people were tired, and they spent money and food in vain, and they also moved out of my old man's ancestral training to suppress the fourth, this group of sour Confucians don't want to think that people are not afraid of the power of my Ming Dynasty and dare to usurp it, and dare to set up an ambush on the way back of my Ming army to escort the king of Annan, and cut it down, what a contempt for my Ming Dynasty, If it is connived, from now on, there will be only Annan in the eyes of the Nanyang countries and not my Ming, if my old man is still alive, Annan will be conquered. And what about after the fight? Only then did we know that there were more than 3 million civilized people, more than 2 million savages, more than 13 million stone of grain, more than 8,000 ships, more than 200,000 elephants, horses, and cattle, and more than 2.5 million weapons and ordnance. ”

Speaking of this Taizu, the old man sighed and said: "Old man, I was also deceived by books, back then, considering that it was useless to seize the barren land of the Southern Barbarians, and the territory included in my Ming Dynasty was my Ming Dynasty's territory and people, so poor and subsidized a large amount of money and grain every year, it is better to rest with the people to reduce the burden of my Ming, even if Annan was attached to my Ming Dynasty at that time, it was also the establishment of the Jiaozhi Propaganda Division, so that they can go autonomously." So I found a high-sounding reason, saying that the ministers did not pay tribute to the expedition, but in fact they didn't want to carry this burden. It's just that Annan has been separated from China for a hundred years, and it will take a long time to naturalize it. The fourth child is also anxious, this will be Annan into my Ming territory, set up Jiaozhi Cheng announced the political envoy department, the government orders and military orders are from the central government, the government orders do not know the actual situation of Annan, and do not know that the people outside the country are completely different from my Ming people, and I don't know how much misunderstanding will occur because of the language barrier and give birth to resentment that should not have, which is more harmful than not knowing the soldiers, and the soldiers not knowing the soldiers. Besides, among the officials who served in Jiaozhi, none of them thought that they had been relegated to this remote barbarian land, the sky was high and the emperor was far away, and the emperor could not see whether this official was doing well or not. It is said that the eunuch Ma Qi is not a thing, and he has forced the people to rebel several times, but these parents and officials have also exacerbated the contradictions between the people and the government through lazy government, lazy government, harsh government, mediocre government, and slack government. As the so-called sky is high and the emperor is far away, the people are few and public, and they are scraped three times a day, and they don't treat it back. If the people are reversed, someone will be unlucky, so these parents and officials also have to thank this Ma Qi, who is indeed not a thing, for helping them take the blame. If the people rebel, they must put down the rebellion, and if they want to put down the rebellion, they must send troops, and those who do not have a military order to mobilize troops will be regarded as plotting rebellion and will destroy their families. So just wait, the news was sent to the capital, the military department wrote the five military offices, the five military offices began to dispatch troops, and the household department began to prepare money and food, and the best time to come and go to quell the rebellion was missed. Originally, the rebellion of more than 1,000 people in one place turned into a rebellion of more than 10,000 people when the counterinsurgency army arrived. If you win, it's just that, and if you lose, you have to repeat the previous process. It was supposed to be a matter of a month, but it turned out that the rebellion could not be put down in less than a year and a half. The consequence of this is that not only did it delay the fighters, but also made the enemy despise the combat strength of our Ming Dynasty and strengthen the enemy's courage. ”

When Taizu said this, the old man shook his head and said, "When you are alive, you can't see clearly, and you won't figure it out until you're dead." The feudal system is not as good as the centralized system, but when the country is large enough to be centralized, it is the gravedigger of expansion. Therefore, after the first month of next year, this cochin will really become the chicken ribs of the Ming Dynasty, until it is discarded. Therefore, in order to save this situation, the advantages and disadvantages of the county system and the three propaganda and six consolation systems were compared, and the advantages and disadvantages of the centralized system and the sub-feudal system were considered. My old man came up with the idea of setting up a colonization and indoctrination department outside of the weak branches. The original intention was to set up this division in the frontier where I had the heart and power to govern it, and give it military and political powers, so that the army could be managed on horseback, and the people should be managed by dismounting, and all matters in the territory could be decided by themselves. The imperial court only gave the necessary support for the initial opening of the government and the construction of the government, and once the expenses were repaid within five years, the imperial court could provide the army, but the military expenses were self-raised, and half of the annual revenue of the territory was handed over to the state treasury after five years. As for the details of the implementation plan, the fourth is better than my old man, let him think for himself. The advantage of this is that the imperial court has no burden, it is a place that has no time to take care of, if it can continue to occupy, develop the economy and adhere to education, and eventually the Yi people in the territory will become the people of my Ming Dynasty, then the land where the people live will naturally become the territory of my Ming Dynasty. When the weak branch becomes a strong branch, and the territory becomes a weak branch, then the territory of my Ming Dynasty can be expanded again, so that the Colonial Education Division can open up new territories. The advantage of this is to fight steadily, advance layer by layer, step by step, do not add burden to my Ming Dynasty, even if there is an enemy to attack, I can also use it as a front line, so that the war does not burn to the territory of my Ming Dynasty, and my Ming people can still specialize in production during the war, why not? Those who do not seek the world are not enough to seek a time, and those who do not seek the overall situation are not enough to seek a domain. With such peace of mind to develop for a hundred years, the expansion of the territory of the Ming Dynasty is more than doubled, the country is strong and the people are rich, it is also expansion, and the former Yuan laid down this huge territory for less than a hundred years and died, why not? ”

Taizu said solemnly: "However, this is only on paper, and we must practice it in one place to know whether it is feasible." However, since the beginning of next year, the northern part of Jiaozhi has been burned all over the war and then burned to the south, so it is very necessary to block the rebels in the front line of Yanzhou and Yi'an, so that the south can specialize in production to provide supplies for the north, from Guangxi down to the mountains, the road is far away, and the transportation is difficult, and the road in the south of Jiaozhi is flat and near, and it is not wise to seek the distance near and far, and at the same time it can also reduce the burden of my Ming Dynasty, why not. After suppressing the rebels in the north and the front was stabilized, he chose a state or a government in the south and began to explore this method of colonization and indoctrination. The displaced people in the north of Jiaozhi, the captives, all sent to the south, this war together there will be a large number of displaced people fleeing, to the displaced people to distribute rations, land, seeds and farm tools, so that they have a fixed place, no food and clothing, each county is divided into villages according to the distribution of land, set up village heads, inspections, education, medical centers, the village chief is the chief official, the inspection is responsible for public security, and the education is responsible for teaching R in the study of benevolence, righteousness, courtesy, wisdom, faith, gentleness, humility, loyalty, filial piety, honesty and bravery, of course, these need to be repaid, through the study and examination can reduce debts, And it can be reduced or exempted from taxes. All prisoners of war who need to be conscripted for forced labor can be used locally to work on their behalf, and those who have performed well through several years of labor reform and who have studied well and passed the examination can be freed from slavery, and the advantage is that there is no need to be conscripted and sent to forced labor. Then the county leaders are preferably selected as the village chief and set as the eight grades, the county officials are preferably selected as the village adjutant and set as the eight grades, the county fast class is selected as the patrol envoy as the nine grades, the county strong class is selected as the patrol adjutant and is selected as the nine grades, the county teachings and disciplines or the show of talent are preferably selected as the nine grades, the education adjutant is also set as the nine grades, and the county Lang Zhong is selected as the hospital envoy as the nine grades, and the adjutant is still set as the nine grades. The salary of the recruits is doubled according to the standard of my Ming grade. Checking the prison files, removing the most heinous criminals who must be beheaded, it is advisable to exile to the Colonial and Correctional Division, and then they are also slaves, but the status and treatment of criminals are different from those of prisoners of war. The officials, sergeants, and common people dispatched were mainly unmarried men, and intermarriage with local women was encouraged. In this way, from the county to the state and then to the government, and so on and forth in the south, it can be determined. After that, there will be a comparison between the north and the south, and it will be clear which is better and which is inferior......"

"Good! Good! Good! After Zhu Di watched Zheng He's secret recital, he couldn't help but applaud loudly.

"The words of the old Cheng Mou Guo, this is the real Lao Cheng Mou Guo, Xie Father Emperor showed his spirit to bless me Daming, Xie Father Emperor forgave his sons and daughters for the same room, Xie Father Emperor made this best policy for his sons, and the sons and daughters will live up to their father's trust, and after the sons and daughters think clearly and discuss with the ministers, they will come up with a charter and then implement it." Zhu Di knelt and bowed to the sky and said.

"Wang Wenle, I finally met you......" Zhu Di said after the ceremony.
