If you are familiar with the map, you will definitely find that the West Asian region is the only one missing from the nationality management. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 Of course, this is not that the decision-makers of the Ming Dynasty have forgotten it, nor have they deliberately ignored it, but have arranged otherwise.

To sum up, it is because the West Asian region is full of devout Mus Lim. Ideologically, it is deeply controlled by religion. Compared with other religions, Islam is more exclusive, closed, and defending. This is in serious opposition to the open and inclusive social atmosphere of the Ming Dynasty.

The decision-makers of the Ming Dynasty believed that immigrants from West Asia were the most difficult ethnic groups to assimilate.

Therefore, in the new nationality law, only immigrants from West Asia are vacated.

But Da Ming didn't turn them away! After all, Daming never dislikes too many people!

It's just that they don't have a guaranteed nationality law, and there is no corresponding supplementary policy, so if they enter the country, they can only go through the entry procedures in accordance with the Ming Dynasty's "Regulations on the Administration of Non-Legal Entry".

So they naturally broke the law and naturally entered the labor camp. Under normal circumstances, non-French immigrants who perform well can qualify for the national examination and leave the labor camp. However, immigrants from the West Asian region, especially male immigrants, are excluded.

No matter how well they behaved, they could not leave the camps. You can only be there for the rest of your life, live to be old, and be old. Their children, on the other hand, were deprived of guardianship at the moment of entering or at the moment of their birth. Raised by the official institution of the Ming Dynasty.

Therefore, these first generation immigrants are destined to be a forgotten generation. Born as light as a floating cloud, after death is better than loess. No one will miss it.

This may be a bit cruel, but the decision-making level of the Ming Dynasty was frightened by the extreme events of saints, wars, violence, and terrorism in later generations. Therefore, starting from the safety of Daming, I had to make this decision.

However, in terms of treatment, it is the same as that of economic crimes. You can work to earn money as a way to improve your quality of life, but you can't leave. It can be regarded as allowing them to enjoy some of the rights that human beings should have. In the final analysis, the decision-making level of the Ming Dynasty was influenced by modern thought, and still retained part of its conscience and humanitarian spirit in its heart.

To a certain extent, this is what the Ming Dynasty took advantage of legal loopholes to deliberately set up for immigrants in West Asia.

Now, however, most immigrants are concerned with the implementation of the new nationality law and do not care about the reasons for omitting immigrants from West Asia. After all, the new nationality law concerns the vital interests of every immigrant, and it is important to pay attention to it.

This made the Ming Dynasty a realistic version of the world staged. Some people are happy and some are worried, some people are happy and some people are sad.

Those happy and fortunate immigrants have either passed the nationality test or are Han Chinese. And those who are worried and sorrowful, the immigrants are just the opposite. Because September 1 is the day when the new nationality law is officially implemented. By then, if they have not yet passed, they will have to meet the minimum three-year residency limit. Again, this is based on immigrants from East Asia and Southeast Asia. If it's a little farther away, it's even longer.

That's too long for immigrants who want to be naturalized early. After all, without nationality, many rights cannot be enjoyed. And personal freedom will also be affected. The place to live can only be the low-rent housing provided by Daming. The place of work can only be arranged by the temporary university. The salary is also much worse than that of the Ming people.

Therefore, as soon as the nationality law was promulgated, many immigrants who had not yet graduated were attracted to study cultural knowledge with all their might and vigorously. The learning atmosphere of the Provisional Vocational University has suddenly become a hundred times stronger.

Daming also did not deliberately embarrass these immigrants who wanted to take the last train. I kindly arranged four national examinations in the remaining half a month. As a result, the venue was full, and the number of applicants exceeded the usual annual total. As a result, the Immigration Department had to increase the number of people in each examination by sending additional staff. This allowed the immigrants who applied for the exam to take the exam as they wished.

When the news from here reached the overseas provinces, the four exams had all ended. Those immigrants who have not yet passed the nationality test can't help but beat their chests. I hate that the news came too late and missed this great opportunity.

But that's another story!

Let's say that in the newspaper, the Ming Dynasty ranked the religious reform after nationality.

Obviously, the portion is not low!

Although the Ming Dynasty had a very strict control over religion before, it even set up a religious department for this purpose. But in real life, it is still full of loopholes.

The most serious thing is that more and more believers are violating the regulations of the Department of Religion. Outside of the Divine Blessed Zone, religious activities are carried out privately. Every time Daming discovers a case, he will punish him severely. But to Daming's surprise. Even with such severe punishments, illegal religious activities continue to be prohibited, and there are signs of growth and spread. As a result, the staff of the Department of Religion have become professional police officers.

In this regard, the managers of Daming are also secretly introspecting. I wonder if there is something wrong with the management system and policies.

In fact, it is!

The territory of the Ming Dynasty is so large, there are nine provinces, two cities and one military region. However, religious sites are limited to the Divine Blessing Area of Mingjing. As a result, believers in other provinces and regions have no place to practice their religion. After all, in order to pray or Missa, it is really unrealistic to travel thousands of miles to Mingjing.

That's why. Many believers take the risk of violating the law and secretly carry out religious activities. The punishment of the Ming Dynasty aroused the resistance of some believers. And it evolves into a kind of counter-effect, the more you are punished, the more you are punished.

The clergy of various religions are also united. Accept the views of the congregation and ask the Department of Religion to listen to the voices of the congregation.

The Department of Religious Affairs did not dare to make a decision on such a matter privately, so it reported it layer by layer, and finally went to the desk of the cabinet.

Yang Chong and others also attach great importance to this issue.

Combined with the current social reality that the level of science and technology is not high, the feudal, superstitious and belief are serious, and the influence of religion is not small. In the end, it was decided to learn from Dayu's experience in water control, and it was better to block than to sparse, and allow the provinces to establish religious sites, but there are also corresponding requirements.

That is, in each province, only one city is allowed to establish a place of worship. And copy the practice of Mingjing City, and set aside a small area. The name is also 'Divine Blessing Zone'.

And these 'blessed districts' have been set aside from the normal administrative divisions and become separate administrative districts, under the independent jurisdiction of the Department of Religion.

At the same time, the Ming Dynasty's requirements for religion have also become stricter!

All historical documents of religions must be translated into Chinese characters. For example, the Ancient Lan, the Bible, and the Sanskrit Sutra of Buddhism must be translated under the joint guidance of the Department of Education and the Department of Religion. Words or phrases that are out of place should be deleted. And the ideological values of the Ming Dynasty were vigorously injected into the scriptures. Many words and sentences are misinterpreted according to the will of the Ming Dynasty.

The scriptures of other countries are not allowed to circulate in the territory of the Ming Dynasty. If someone is found to be in possession, it will be punished as 'harboring, concealing and banning books'.

Those clergy in the religious circles were afraid of getting into trouble, and they didn't dare to say a word.

In terms of religious activities, the Ming also intervened. For example, the language of prayer must be in Chinese. Religious etiquette is also consistent with the social values of the Ming Dynasty. Those religious costumes were also forcibly changed. For example, it is not allowed to wear a face mask, it is not allowed to have a strange hairstyle, it is not allowed to dress like a rice dumpling, and it is not allowed to be too conservative.

On the whole, although the religious circles are on the bright side, the Ming officials have been forced to take a step back. But in reality, it was the Ming Dynasty that had a deeper grip on religion. After all, doctrine is the foundation of religion! But now it has been changed beyond recognition by the Ming Dynasty and has lost its original independent status.

It is estimated that those clergy, no matter how difficult the situation is, they will not dare to give advice to Daming anymore.

On the faith tax, Daming did not change much. But on the basis of the original, a hierarchy was introduced. The devotion of the faith is judged by the amount of taxes paid by the believer. This is how the hierarchy is divided.

The higher the general tax, the higher the rank, and the greater the likelihood of obtaining the priesthood. It can be regarded as a buying and selling position in disguise.

This is unwise for religion! This is because using money to evaluate beliefs and determine priesthood will tarnish and defile the sanctity of religion and shake the devotion of believers to religion.

But the Ming Dynasty did not encourage religion in the first place! And don't think about the consequences! Moreover, this faith tax also increased the financial revenue of the Ming Dynasty.

Why not?

The last point is also the basic requirement of the Ming Dynasty for religion: it is not allowed to preach publicly, it is not allowed to openly express religious beliefs, and it is not allowed to openly carry out religious activities. Compared with before, the punishment has also increased several times. (To be continued.) )
