Chapter 437: Just because I took one more look at you in the crowd
The fate of the poor Wa Kingdom was planned by Emperor Yang in this way. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
In the future, their main mission is to keep providing slaves for Daming, working non-stop like a huge slave-making machine, and contributing their strength to the construction of Daming, in exchange for their qualifications to join the big family of Daming. Fortunately, they are still fully capable of this, after all, they still have a population of more than 15 million, and unlike Emperor Yang's initial estimate, before the war, there should have been more than 20 million people, and in 1852, this country had a population of 30 million, and in the Edo period, their population growth was actually very slow.
Fifteen million people!
Those Ming slave traders will be happy with this number.
Of course, there is also their Emperor Majesty, after all, this means that at least for a few decades, he does not need to let the people of the Ming Dynasty to be the victims of the early stage of industrialization, otherwise those in the Ming Dynasty now work at least eighteen hours a day, and have to endure all kinds of mechanical noise frequent industrial accidents, as well as all kinds of dust pollution chemical raw materials in the textile factory, those slaves who are like walking corpses because of long-term sleep deprivation, and even accidentally die on the job, You have to change to the girls outside who are dressed in fancy clothes, afraid of tanning and wearing small parasols, shaking their small waists all over the street to attract bees and butterflies.
If that's the case......
It's a little too cruel.
"Your Majesty, these schoolgirls are becoming more and more unorthodox now."
The director of Suncheon University looked with some embarrassment at Emperor Yang's gaze, who was looking at the shaded road outside on the campus, where several students from the women's college were laughing and playing.
Because under the encouragement and instigation of Emperor Yang, the queen and the concubines in the palace rarely covered themselves tightly in the summer, and clothes such as exposing arms have long been worn publicly, and they also dominate the fashion trend of the Ming Dynasty because of their identity, so the same more open clothes are not new in the folk, and the girls in the folk do not need to worry too much, and even some bold clothes are more fashionable, such as skirts that expose half of the calves, in fact, even bras have begun to become popular.
At this time, the female students outside were dressed more boldly.
Of course, the Superintendent probably didn't know that His Majesty the Emperor actually preferred to see them in bikinis, and it was obvious that this dignified old scholar thought that the Emperor was seriously dissatisfied with his educational work! You must know that Suncheon University is the number one university in the north, and it is also a banner, and countless eyes outside are staring at it!
"It doesn't matter, the clothes still have to be practical, and now on a hot day of more than 30 degrees, they like to dress freshly as they please!"
Yang Feng said casually.
Of course, the people he looked at were not these female students, in fact, because of his connivance, the primary version of feminist ideas was emerging, the skirts of the female students of Suncheon University were only more than half of the calf, and the skirts of the female students of Yingtian University were almost knee-length, and countless old antiques on the street were heartbroken, and even the people's representatives of the Inspectorate asked to summon the Ministry of Education Shangshu to the Inspectorate to explain the explanation, or simply remove the director of the Women's College of Yingtian University.
Of course, they are to say.
Yingtian University is theoretically a private school, but the principal is Her Majesty the Queen, who dares to remove the director of the women's college appointed by her?
So the students of the Women's College of Yingtian University kept the length of their skirts in this way, and of course after discovering that this was okay, the girls on the street who were tortured by the scorching heat more and more cut their skirts close to the knees, and soon the old antiques were in despair.
And Emperor Yang looked at someone else.
"Who's that?"
He said, pointing to a white man.
The latter was now in a personable posture, bowing to the schoolgirls with his feathered hat, who were returning the salute.
"Your Majesty, it was a Frenchman who came to study, followed the French consul, our school is open, so he often comes and goes, because our library is not open to foreigners, he is friendly with those students, in exchange for them to help lend the books in the library, and sometimes ask those students questions, you also know that we have a good relationship with France, and those students are also very curious about Europe, but there are many who have a good relationship with him."
The superintendent said.
Yang Feng's face changed.
"The minister should die, it's the minister's negligence!"
The commander of the Beijing Branch of the Internal Affairs Department of Jinyi Wei beside him immediately knelt down, and hurriedly pleaded guilty with a panicked face, but the director had not yet reacted.
"Get up, find out what books he has borrowed and asked what questions."
Yang Feng said expressionlessly.
"Also, send an order to Jinyiwei in various places to immediately investigate whether there is a similar situation in universities in various places, and also send an order to the Ministry of Education, all universities and local libraries to hand over all science and technology books."
Yang Feng said.
He did ignore this problem, in fact, the Ming Dynasty also has a set of control measures for the outflow of technology, Emperor Yang naturally knows better than anyone that he can export ideas, export systems, and export culture, but he must not export technology, in fact, this kind of thinking is already very marketable in the Ming Dynasty. After all, those capitalists mainly have three magic weapons in their hands, one is cheap resources, including the labor resources of slaves, the other is the commercial privileges of the subject country, that is, various tax incentives, and the third is the absolute superiority in technology, which together constitute the monopoly position obtained by the Ming industrial products in one market after another, and firmly trample all competitors under their feet.
For example, the United Kingdom.
British wool and cotton textiles have completely disappeared from Asia, although they also have cheap raw materials from the Americas, although their textile women are not much better than the slaves of the Ming Dynasty, but the huge gap in technology makes them powerless in front of the Ming textiles.
In fact, at this time, the cotton cloth produced in the Ming Dynasty was even quite popular in Europe, even in the United Kingdom, and it was also liked by the upper class.
The reason is simple.
The gap in printing and dyeing technology is too big, at this time, the factories of the Ming Dynasty do not talk about all kinds of different colors, even multi-color and multi-pattern flower cloths are constantly produced, what do the British take to fight against the roller printing machine that only appeared in 1785 and the screen printing technology that only appeared in 1834?
Technology is an advantage, technology is profit, and technology is gold.
The Ming capitalists are well aware of this.
They have to maintain that advantage.
They are equally clear about this.
The easiest way to maintain an advantage is to cut off all possibility of its outflow, even for domestic compatriots, who are doing everything in their power to block technology, let alone foreigners.
Under their push, the cabinet has enacted a series of measures aimed at technological protection, such as prohibiting all universities except national colleges from admitting any students who are not first-class citizens, prohibiting the sale of science and technology books, and prohibiting the export of any goods on the control list, including books, machines, etc., in short, there are a lot of measures to fortify everywhere, including the ban on universities and all local libraries from being open to non-first-class citizens.
But Yang Feng really ignored that someone gained knowledge in this way.
"It's quite scheming!"
Yang Feng looked at the man outside and sneered.
"Your Majesty, it's a minister who deserves to die."
At this time, the superintendent also hurriedly pleaded guilty.
"Get up, you don't do this, and your duties don't include these, you don't have to ask for guilt for this, just pay attention in the future."
Yang Feng said.
"But please rest assured, Your Majesty, Mr. Aroue doesn't really care about science, the books he borrows and the questions he asks are all about ideology, as well as some of our institutional things, as far as the minister knows, he often goes to the Holy Shrine to find priests to study His Majesty's oracles."
The superintendent said.
"Ideologically?"
Yang Feng was surprised.
"What did you say his name was?"
Suddenly he said again.
"Arouet, full name is François-Marley. Aruet, who had been briefed by the French consul at a banquet held at their consulate. ”
The superintendent said.
"Bring me my notebook."
Yang Fengyi stretched out his hand and said.
The attendant next to him hurriedly handed over a notebook, of course, it was a real notebook, a laptop, anyway, no one understands this thing in this era, he actually carries it with him, to the outside world, then this black box must be an artifact brought by His Majesty from the sky, it must be a tool for communication between the emperor and the gods. Although this notebook cannot be networked across time and space, it stores countless information and a special query system, and after typing this name, Emperor Yang immediately laughed, because this person is not used more by this name, but by his pen name.
A name that can be said to be deafening.
"Voltaire."
Emperor Yang smiled happily.
Poor Voltaire, who was gracefully asking the schoolgirls about a question, did not know that he had been stared at by a pair of terrible eyes, perhaps because he spoke Chinese more funny, and the girls were all smiling like flowers, and of course he was trying to show his demeanor, in the shade of the trees on a summer afternoon, with the clusters of flowers blooming next to him, this picture was also very pleasant.
However, Emperor Yang liked to smash it.
"Bring him here!"
Emperor Yang said.
"Also, call the instructor of the women's college to take those students away."
He then said with an unhappy expression.
Because of his presence, the plainclothes of the brocade guards who had long been densely covered in the campus immediately appeared beside Voltaire, and in the exclamation of those female students, he was unceremoniously directly put up and dragged away, and then the most terrible female college instructor also appeared, these big fat girls with whips and full of flesh, also unceremoniously took away those female students with white faces, and everything beautiful disappeared in an instant, leaving only a toad that jumped out of the flowers and looked around blankly.
