"There are too few people in this world who have died, and there is no chaos that will not survive five out of ten, how can there be great governance in the future?"

The lord's words came into his ears, which only made Luo Bingzhang feel a chill in his heart, where he dared to speak, he knew for a long time that the best choice at this time was to be silent and persuade?

"So if you want to achieve this extremely prosperous world, I'm afraid it will be difficult......"

Shaking his head, Zhu Yifeng looked at Luo Bingzhang and asked.

"Guangdong lives in Lingnan, with a population of more than 3,000,000, less land and more people, the so-called local guest weapons fight mostly from the fight for water, for land, at least the people under the crowd live in difficulty, when the livelihood is difficult to maintain, how can you not take the risk of pulling the flag to rebel, Guangdong is so other provinces in the country is not the case, even if we overthrow the Manchu Qing today, if we can't solve the root cause, he will be returned to others one day, and then there is no saying to create a prosperous world?"

The reason why he said so many things to Luo Bingzhang, starting from the prosperous times of the past dynasties, and talking about people all the time, is very simple, Luo Bingzhang is a Cantonese person, Guangdong has few people and many people, and the reason why Cantonese people went to Nanyang in the following hundred years is because life is unsustainable. In the colonial cause of North Borneo, in addition to the community of interests between the top and bottom of the Governor's Office, what is more important is that Zhu Yifeng needs the support of the Governor's high-level officials, and Luo Bingzhang, who is a member of the army on the right, is a native of Guangdong, and he knows more about the situation in Guangdong than himself.

Moreover, compared with others, Luo Bingzhang can understand "going to the South Seas" and better understand that "overseas colonization" can fundamentally alleviate the pressure on the domestic population. That's why I said so much to her.

"Ru Zhai, tell me, what should I do about this?"

Faced with Han Du's rhetorical question, Luo Bingzhang didn't know how to answer for a while. Linked to what Han Du said before, his mind sank, and his face looked a little sad, can't he enter the prosperous era without the chaos of hundreds of millions of people's deaths?

"Before, Ben Governor has never known how to solve this difficulty, and has been trapped by this matter. But now, the Governor has a solution to this matter! ”

The lord's words made Luo Bingzhang ask hurriedly as if he saw a life-saving straw.

"I wonder what the explanation of this is?"

Walking under the Yellow Crane Tower, Zhu Yifeng said as he walked.

"This time Li Xu can be said to have made a great contribution to the country, the governor did not send a single soldier, the righteous army did not spend a single shot, all three inches of tongue, both in the land of more than 130,000 square kilometers, although there is a dense rainforest, can be regarded as a wilderness, but if it is cultivated, it can get no less than tens of millions of acres of land a year, can resettle millions of immigrants, so that it can relieve the pressure of a province."

Turning around to the south in front of him, at this time, Zhu Yifeng wanted to see through the world, and always saw the land that was newly returned to China, and saw the land that was pregnant with countless hopes.

"New land means new hopes, new opportunities."

"The lord wants to emigrate to North Borneo?"

Luo Bingzhang immediately understood the thoughts of the lord, in Guangdong, in the past two hundred years, there are indeed many people who have moved overseas, and in his hometown Huaxian, it is also very common to go to Nanyang. Now that the lord said this, he naturally understood the meaning in his heart.

"Not bad!"

Nodding Zhu Yifeng, staring at the south and saying.

"It's like the immigrants of North Borneo, looking at the opportunity to colonize there, and build it into our stronghold in the South Seas, if hundreds or thousands of North Borneo people are engaged in agricultural production there, open up wasteland for farming, and plant tropical cash crops, then this place will form a Chinese village, and once a village is built, the subsequent businessmen from China will go to this place one after another, thus forming a Chinese street, and then forming a city, and over time, this place can become a new province of China like the mainland!"

"Of course, what is more important is that in this process, millions of Chinese people will move there and reclaim a piece of arable land in the wilderness, just as thousands of years ago, our Han ancestors colonized Lingnan, thousands of years ago, this Lingnan was still full of miasma, and the prosperity of Guangdong today is not my Han ancestors who have a blue wisp of the road and opened up the mountains and forests to be today's Guangdong?"

Luo Bingzhang nodded thoughtfully, as a Cantonese person, he didn't know the history of Guangdong. And the words of the previous lord have been floating in his mind.

After the chaos, there will be great governance, and the price of this great governance is that the people of the world do not exist for a long time, so that there is the possibility of great governance, and now the road pointed out by the lord is the best choice to solve this problem.

“…… Therefore, if we want to solve this problem, we must move the surplus population out of China, move to the South Seas, move to Africa, set up colonies overseas like Westerners, and use the colonies to absorb hundreds of millions of people in the country. At that time, the overseas colonies will become the greatest wealth of our country, Nanyang grows spices, sugar, rice, African colonies provide gold, diamonds and various minerals and other crops, Nanyang Africa, will be the largest plantation in China. ”

Suddenly, Zhu Yifeng felt a flash of inspiration in his mind, as if he was ignited by something, and suddenly shouted excitedly, he was so excited that he glanced at Luo Bingzhang, as if explaining, and as if talking to himself:

"Yes, yes...... In ancient China, the so-called cycle of 300 years, in addition to the prosperity of the times, the difficulty of more people and less land is certainly the reason, but its root is still here......"

Luo Bingzhang was wondering why he was so excited, but he listened to the lord and continued.

"Plunder! The root cause is plunder! In the past thousands of years, the so-called rule of the world is nothing more than to squeeze the people with harsh taxes and miscellaneous taxes, but there is always a limit to the people's ability to bear. This has been true throughout the ages. Throughout the ages, all dynasties have been like this, the internal levy is tyrannical, and the layman is kingly, so under the internal plunder, the people rebound, and the dynasty is destroyed. On the other hand, the West, such as Rome in ancient times, Britain today, and Spain in the past, are all plundering foreign countries, opening up lands, conquering barbarians, plundering slaves, and plundering foreign barbarians, so that they can not be strong......"

The last sentence was heavily emphasized, and Zhu Yifeng excitedly expressed his grand statement, but Luo Bingzhang was dumbfounded. This difference in vision made him a little bit as if he didn't understand, and he didn't fully understand what the lord said.

"That's right, the people of the world throughout the ages have said that "although the country is big, the belligerent will perish", but they don't know if they don't expand and don't transfer the internal contradictions to the outside, but the surplus population moves overseas, and once the people rise up, then the wealth and manpower accumulated over hundreds of years and generations will be destroyed in one fell swoop. Therefore, "although the kingdom is great, it must expand", otherwise the kingdom will perish! ”

Yes!

This is the reason, no matter how high the cost of expansion is, compared to the collapse of the country, the change of dynasties, the death of hundreds of millions of people, and the ruins of cities, the cost is not worth mentioning. And this is also necessary for a millennium dynasty.

Isn't the reason why the West, such as the Roman Empire, was able to build a thousand-year-old empire because of its continuous expansion? When it was unable to expand and plunder new land and wealth by a stronger enemy, the dynasty began to collapse.

That's right, that's it! That's it!

Glancing at Luo Bingzhang and seeing that he was still thoughtful, Zhu Yifeng paused slightly, and then explained:

"Of course, our current expansion is not to be overwhelmed, but to seize the last opportunity to take advantage of the fact that Westerners are not interested in those places, and first gain a foothold, just like North Borneo, which will be a testing ground for our overseas colonization, and in the next ten years, we will build another Jiangnan ......"

In this decade, colonial bases will appear on the shores of Africa, which will become a springboard for China's foray into the hinterland of Africa.

"What the lord said is quite reasonable, but it is ......"

Seeing that the lord was silent, he finally had a chance to speak, and Luo Bingzhang, who would not miss it, said busily

"When I was in my hometown, I had heard that many of my fellow villagers went to Nanyang, but the Nanyang Islands were full of dense forests, not only cannibals, but also miasma and other evil diseases, and those who went to Nanyang to work often died of three or four out of ten of them, if this is the case in the land of Nanyang, when other immigrants arrived, three or four out of ten died of the evil diseases at that time, how can it be said that other people went to Nanyang?"

No one wants to go to Nanyang until they are forced to do so, that is the way to make a living, I don't know how many people have died at sea or in Nanyang in hundreds of years, and how many people can return to Guangdong safely.

"Hmph, those cannibals...... Kill! If we don't kill them all, how can they make room for us, kill a group of disobedient people, and then use another batch to help us open up the wasteland! ”

Just like any colonizer, mercy can only be given to compatriots, in Zhu Yifeng's eyes, those natives are a major obstacle to the colonial cause, since they are obstacles, they must be removed, and the easiest way to eliminate them is to solve the problem with guns and bullets. This is the simplest and most effective way to do it.

The lord's cold words did not even have the slightest human feelings, listening to Luo Bingzhang's ears, he did not have any resistance at all, in the traditional Confucian view, those foreign barbarians are not human beings at all, since they are not human beings, then naturally there is no need to sympathize.

"In contrast, the Governor fears the most ......"

This is true not only in the South Seas, but also in Africa.

"The biggest obstacle to future colonization is not the uncivilized natives of the region, but the tropical diseases of the South Seas, which are the big ......problems" (to be continued). )
