Zhu Jinglun's son is five months old, and it is very lively when the full moon is full, and he invited hundreds of civil and military officials and relatives and friends to have a good time in the palace, and according to the suggestion of Fang Shan in Zhongshu Province, he sent a day of rice to the poor in the city.

Zhu Jinglun originally thought that giving birth to a child would involve his own energy, but he was wrong, it turned out that the favor of the emperor's family was really weak, because he didn't even need to take care of the child, change the child's diaper or even breastfeed. There is a nurse who is good at taking care of the child, and there is a nurse who feeds the child.

What Zhu Jinglun needs to do is to watch the child a few times a day, and hugging his son is considered to be a father's responsibility, which makes him feel a little guilty, but he really doesn't have the energy to focus on this kind of personal matter.

Zhang Rou is very happy that Zhu Jinglun sees the child every day, which means that the emperor likes this prince very much, so this prince is more likely to inherit the throne in the future, although this is a very distant thing, but she is still happy.

Gao Yuan is not so happy, she is a young lady from a large family, although she tries her best to cater to Zhu Jinglun, but the young lady still has a temper. As soon as the news of Zhang Rou's pregnancy was confirmed, she couldn't stand the blow and pleaded to go home to save her relatives. Zhu Jinglun asked her to go back and stay for a few more days, and when she wanted to come back, he sent someone to pick her up. But Gao Yuan only came back after five days, saving the trip on the road, and she stayed at home for a day at most.

The reason why she came back was at the request of her smart sister-in-law, who went back and reprimanded her, how could a woman in the emperor's family have her own little nature. Later, not only did she move back to the palace by herself, but her sister-in-law also moved to Guangzhou City, and bought a house opposite the palace, in the former Eight Banners Camp. If Gao Yuan is homesick in the future, she doesn't have to go back to Heshan County.

Gao Yuan, who returned to the palace again, was fiercely favored for a period of time, and she was obsessed with Zhu Jinglun every day, obviously she wanted to conceive a child immediately. But Zhu Jinglun didn't want her to get pregnant, so she couldn't conceive.

It is impossible for Zhu Jinglun to allow the Hakka forces to make waves with the help of a prince of Hakka descent, but the Hakka people, as a vulnerable group, are very united, which is also a sign of tension, and it is difficult to do it if they are not at ease.

Zhu Jinglun has always paid little attention to the issue of this kind of ethnic origin. There is a saying in later generations that China's nation is marked by culture, which is actually a pseudo-theory at all, because all nations in the world are identified by culture. What is the theory of descent, it is the product of the development of natural science after the Industrial Revolution, and it is formed by incorporating a large number of radical nationalist theories.

Medieval Europeans knew the lineage of eggs. One of the sources of Western culture, Jewish culture is even more culturally identifiable, and there are a large number of blacks in the Jewish nation, is this a blood identity?

And the Hakka people, and even the entire Cantonese people, are the products of the southward movement of the Central Plains ethnic group, especially the southward crossing of the Central Plains culture, no one is a pure Han people, and the Han people themselves are a fusion of the people. Some genetics experts in later generations verified that the purity of the Han people's blood reached 98%, which does not explain the phenomenon of ethnic integration in China's long history, but can only show that the East Asian ethnic groups themselves are highly genetically identical, and the farming peoples in the Yellow River Basin are very close to the nomads on the grasslands and the mountain peoples in Lingnan, and perhaps the farthest bloodline among the yellow people should be the ethnic groups on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau and the Indians in the Americas.

In the history of China, there has never been a division of nationalities according to blood, for the government, in their eyes, the people are only divided into households and non-households, and all the people who are organized into households, whether they used to herd horses or herded sheep, are the emperor's people. Even the Jews who moved to Henan during the Tang and Song dynasties also obtained the qualifications to compile households, could participate in the imperial examinations, and also produced a few people to raise people and jinshi.

It is this culture that does not value blood, but instead causes the fusion of bloodlines, and the generations of southern herdsmen in history have disappeared into the households, and the Jews in Kaifeng have slowly lost their traditions, and the family is no longer dedicated to God, but to the portrait of Confucius.

The most fundamental reason for the outbreak of the bloodline theory in Europe is that Europe has not had a strong regime, and there has never been a culturally extremely strong nation, the only time may be the Roman Empire, but the integration ability of the Romans is too far behind the Han people, and it also lacks the accumulation of the Zhou and Qin millennium in the early stage of the formation of the Han nation, and the Roman era was not able to integrate the Gauls, Germans, Celts and Slavs, as a result, the major ethnic groups in Europe are numerous, culturally competing with each other, and they cannot be integrated at all. Hence the principle of division by bloodline.

There is no phenomenon of ethnic groups in China, but some ethnic identities have emerged in individual regions, such as the different identities of the Hakka people and the Cantonese people in Guangdong, and in addition to this, only the border areas have ethnic distinctions, but the people in the border areas have always been regarded as foreigners by the central dynasty. The Hakka people are different, they are the members of the government, they can participate in the imperial examination, and they can integrate into the power system.

Therefore, the Hakka people themselves did not exclude themselves from the Han group at all, and competed with the Cantonese people, but whose blood was purer.

This is a good premise, what Zhu Jinglun wants to do is not to deepen the Hakka people's national identity and slowly let them form a new nation, but to let them better integrate with the Cantonese people.

This kind of work of changing customs has always been a water grinding process, just like the integration of the Han nationality with the Jews began in the Tang and Song dynasties and was not completed until the Ming and Qing dynasties. Zhu Jinglun didn't have that much patience for that long, and he hoped to finish it in a generation. His approach was to migrate the Hakka people.

Of course, it is impossible to force the relocation, but you can use the economic method to relocate, the development of the tea economy is a good way, whether it is the tea garden invested by foreigners in Daming, or the tea garden opened up by the Wu family and other wealthy families, they all chose to hire the Hakka people to open up the mountain, because the Hakka people are really the best at opening up barren mountains, and they are very good at planting tea, and they are more willing to accept migration than the locals, so they are simply the best choice.

In recent years, the tea plantations have opened up tens of millions of acres, employing more than two million tea workers, most of whom are Hakka, and the Hakka people in Guangdong have a total of only three million people, it can be said that half of the Hakka people have moved to the mountainous areas of Guangdong to plant tea because they think that they do not need to pay their salaries, and the number of Hakka people in Wuyi and Chaoshan areas has been greatly reduced.

Historically, such a large number of Hakka people eventually immigrated to all parts of the world, and developed into a large ethnic group of 80 million people a hundred years later. In this era, I am afraid that the overseas Hakka family group is not so large, but in the territory of the Ming Dynasty, they will be mixed with people from all over the world, Zhu Jinglun does not object to them maintaining their own ethnic characteristics, but he does not want them to break out again because of this characteristic of any bloody conflict. Therefore, allowing them to relocate independently is the most perfect solution, and it is also incidental to the development of the tea industry.

As the Hakka people become more and more dispersed and the pressure of life decreases, after a generation, their ethnic identity will not be so strong, but will be closely linked with the locals, and the Hakka political forces will lose their support and will naturally dissolve.

But before that, Zhu Jinglun must also appease them, not let them produce undue ambitions, nor let them have an undue sense of crisis, otherwise they will still be used, Zhu Jinglun's approach is that he plans to marry a Hakka woman for himself and Zhang Rou's son in the future, at least one of the women must be Hakka.

He chose the representative of the Hakka forces, Zhang Baoming, who is very well-connected in both military and political circles, Zhang Baoming's youngest daughter was born the year before last, and Zhu Jinglun had already made a baby kiss with him. With this relationship, if Gao Yuan can't give birth to a Hakka prince, the Hakka people can only choose to support Zhang Rou's son, who is also the son-in-law of the Hakka family. At that time, this child will naturally get the dual support of the Cantonese people and the Hakka people, and will get a relatively stable political environment.

It's just that Gao Yuan, who has always wanted children, Zhu Jinglun can't give her a son, but he can give her a few more daughters, these princesses can also be used for political marriage if necessary in the future, if it is not necessary, Zhu Jinglun is also happy that they can choose their own love.

Gao Yuan didn't know that she was pregnant with a child, and she still pestered Zhu Jinglun every day, scratching her head and making all kinds of gestures, but Zhu Jinglun enjoyed the style of a beautiful woman very much.

It's a little reward for hard work.

This period of time is really hard, because these things encountered at present are all major events that may be related to the future political direction of the Ming Kingdom in the next 30 years, and even the entire East Asia.

In comparison, the Great Depression of 1873, one of the four major economic depressions in human history, was not a big problem.

And this economic crisis, to solve, is not as difficult as Zhu Jinglun imagined.

Thanks to his adequate preparation in advance, after the outbreak of the economic crisis in the United States, it soon affected the Ming Dynasty, which exported a large number of silk fabrics and tea to the United States, and the price of silk fabrics fell by 30% within a year, and the price of tea plummeted by half, which was a big blow.

But the biggest problem comes from the panic, the bond crisis that spread all over the world also caused the price of various bonds in the Ming market to collapse, the price of Ming treasury bonds, railway bonds at the lowest time reduced by half, a large number of foreign banks, money and silver failed, and the survivors tightened the monetary system significantly, resulting in a shortage of silver in the market, deflationary prices plummeted.

The Bank of Guangzhou, which had huge cash reserves, did not dare to face the economic crisis at all, and only tried to maintain the credit of the banknotes, struggling to cope with the constant runs. Finally, in the following year, the bank's reserves stopped declining, and only then did it have the strength to bail out the market.

First of all, it provided emergency loans to a large number of banks on the verge of collapse, and at the same time signed a cooperation agreement with them, stipulating that these bailed out banks must deposit their reserves in the Bank of Guangzhou, and pay reserves according to the proportion of the deposits, which indirectly established the position of the Bank as the central bank in China.

After maintaining the stability of the financial system, the Bank of Guangzhou began to intervene in the bond market, and collected Daming bonds on a large scale, raising the national bonds to the original level in just two months, ensuring the financing ability of the Ming government. Railway bonds have also slowly reached their original levels as the operating performance of railway companies has recovered.

At this time, the economic depression has not ended, tea exports have decreased by one percent, mainly due to the impact of the economic crisis in the United States and Russia, Britain has not been involved in the economic crisis, at least to ensure that the Ming seventy percent of the tea export market, but in the end the market fell more than one percent, coupled with the Ming Dynasty's original excess capacity, so that the price plummeted by half, this situation may continue for several years.

Exports of silk products also fell by 10 percent, and prices fell by 30 percent. However, thanks to the continuous recovery of silk production in France, raw silk exports have slowly passed the crisis and begun to resume growth, which is a good thing.

The biggest positive is that the financial order of Daming has been restored. A good financial order will help the Ming economy survive this long winter.

By mid-1874, the economic order had stabilized, and Zhu Jinglun's main focus shifted to the political order.
