After Zhu Jishi put out his plans, Zhu Guoxiong had an urge to become a monk - both the emperor and the Dharma king, Confucianism in one hand and Buddhism in the other, so that the imperial throne is not as stable as a rock? But this is just to think about it, the Ming Empire is now open to the people, and it is not a "Rulai Zhenjing" that can be fooled. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

And Zhu Jishi's abacus is good, but it is not so easy to really implement it. The true sect is not GC-ism, and it is very expensive to spread. Not to mention anything else, a total Benshan Temple, eight large Benshan Temples, at least dozens of Benshan Temples and hundreds of end temples are all built with money! After hundreds of monasteries were built, it was impossible to recite the scriptures without monks and nuns. According to the calculation of an average of 100 monks and nuns in a temple, hundreds of temples are at least tens of thousands of monks and nuns! Where do so many monks and nuns come from? Moreover, if the true sect is a sect that has joined the WTO, the head of the monks and nuns is like an official, and it will definitely be open to the public -- this is like raising an extra bureaucracy! In addition, Zhu Jishi also plans to open a large number of religious schools to train a new generation of Nanyang and Indian natives who will arm their minds with the ideas of Nyolai Zhenzong and Confucianism. Needless to say, these religious schools are also a large number of open (top) (point) (novel) sales......

Thinking of this, Zhu Guoxiong gave Pan Zuyin beside him a look out of the corner of his eye. Prime Minister Pan Dacheng naturally understood and said, "Emperor Taishang, how to raise the cost of this worship of the True Sect?" ”

"If the True Sect wants to prosper overnight, it will not be overnight, and the funds required will certainly not be in place in one step." Zhu Jishi thought about it and said, "Queen Bayi has already promised to take refuge, so she will naturally help one or two." ”

Queen Bayi was notoriously wealthy. East Bengal, where Zhu Jishi was preparing to let her become king, was also a rich land. There is no problem in helping millions of Chinese dollars. However, this amount of money is probably enough for the opening of the real sect.

"In addition, the royal family fund will also broadcast a special fund of 20 million yuan for the construction of the main mountain temple and the big mountain temple of the Rulai Zhenzong." Zhu Jishi continued. The royal fund is the original royal consortium, which was the world's largest chaebol before the war, but now it has made war money, and its capital has more than tripled, and it is more than 10 billion. Zhu Jishi only takes out a mere 20 million now, which is really stingy enough.

"Also. Wei'er is not married yet, I plan to let him accept a main concubine and three side concubines at the same time, and there will be a total of 20 million to marry? Zhu Jishi also started the idea of marrying monks and wives in the future - Zhu Jishi's sons and daughters are all sought-after goods in terms of marriage, sons often welcome the daughters of wealthy families, and most of their daughters are married to wealthy families of the first class in the Ming Dynasty...... And Zhu Guowei, who has the status of King of Java and King of Rulai Zhenzong, is definitely super sought-after. If anyone can marry their daughter to him, will Java still have less oil and water in the future?

That's a country of 35 million people! In terms of population, it can be ranked second among the entire system of states and vassal states in Greater China. 35 million people are both a nuisance and a fortune, and if used well, Java alone can definitely be turned into a super ATM. In addition, although the territory of Java is not large, the land is extremely fertile - there are many volcanoes near the island of Java. It often erupts mineral-rich black volcanic ash that fertilizes the land when it hits the island of Java. As a result, Java has fertile land that is rare in tropical rainy areas (minerals in rainy areas are lost with rain). Turning into barren land is not conducive to food production, but the land on the island of Java is extremely fertile due to the constant replenishment of volcanic ash, and crops can be highly productive without artificial fertilization.

According to the estimates of the Ministry of Agriculture, if cultivated properly, the land on the island of Java can definitely support more than 100 million people - in other words, if all the land on Java is used to grow rice, the rice exported alone can feed more than 70 million people every year! That alone is worth hundreds of millions.

If rice is replaced with cash crops such as spices, coffee, tobacco, cinchona, and sugarcane, the value can be increased several times. In a year, we can earn more than 1 billion yuan in foreign exchange earnings just by exporting cash crops, and if we can develop advantageous industries by relying on these cash crops, the benefits we can obtain will be multiplied. In the case that the foreign trade balance can maintain a large surplus, and there is enough labor force in the country to drive it, it is not much difficult to make the overall plate of the economy bigger, and there are many successful examples in later generations.

And such a country is an ATM for the hegemonic Ming Dynasty. As the master of the future ATM country, Zhu Guowei is of course a "potential stock", and those chaebol leaders who want to share profits and marry their daughters to him should of course take the money out to "buy shares".

Listening to Zhu Jishi's calculations, Pan Zuyin knew that Rulai Zhenzong would not ask the Ming Ministry of Finance for money, and a stone in his heart finally fell to the ground, and he also had extra thoughts to discuss the Russian issue with Zhu Jishi -- this was the purpose of his and Zhu Guoxiong's visit.

"The Emperor, Empress Alexandra I of Russia has arrived in Siberia and is now heading south along the Ob River, preparing to go to Tyumen to re-establish the government."

"How old was Alexandra I? Not yet 2 years old? Can the body stand the long journey? ”

The infant mortality rate in this era is not low, although the emergence of penicillin has improved the survival rate of children from upper families (the poor cannot afford it), but it is not guaranteed to be foolproof. Zhu Jishi knew what his son was thinking, so he kindly reminded him not to make a fuss about his personal wealth at that time.

"Erchen has already been inquired about, this Empress Alexandra is in good health, and she has never been sick since she was born."

A sick seedling actually gave birth to a little King Kong, no wonder some people in the outside world rumored that she was a wild seed......

Zhu Jishi nodded. Is it not important that the wild species is not, what matters is how many followers Empress Alexandra still has, and whether she can become the queen of Siberia? The other is what the people around the empress think.

"The Empress is still young, is it her mother or her uncle who is in charge?"

"It's the two of them who are co-regents, but the big idea must be that Archduke Alexander is in charge. I don't know what the Grand Duke had in mind, but since he came to Western Siberia with his niece, he should have had the intention of separating one side. ”

"How so?"

"If he wants to restore the Russian regime, fleeing to Finland is the best policy. The Grand Duke of Finland was also the king of Sweden, and now King Oscar II of Sweden is trying his best to convince Rome and will definitely send them to Paris safely. With the support of Rome, the restoration of Empress Alexandra was possible. ”

"What do you think, Maria?" Zhu Jishi asked for Maria. Clementina's opinion. Although there is no shortage of European experts here in the Ming Dynasty, it is not as good as Maria, an insider in European politics.

"The roots of the Roman Empire are still France, and the Bonaparte family is still in power, how dare Archduke Alexander rashly agree?" Maria paused, and then said, "In addition, Empress Alexandra is a sought-after commodity in Tyumen, and both Rome and Daming want her. If you go to Paris, you will be held by Napoleon IV, and you will not even have the capital to bargain. Empress Alexandra's position was certainly secure, but it was difficult to say about other Russian nobles. ”

Zhu Jishi nodded, Maria's analysis was not outstanding, but the truth was good. If you go to Western Siberia, you can at least grab some territory and army, and if you go to Rome, you will be bullied by orphans and widows.

"So they can still catch some troops?" Zhu Jishi frowned, "But I heard that the Russian imperial family is unpopular, and even the citizens of Petersburg and the Guards do not support them. ”

"The Russian Guards have always been unreliable, and the people of European capitals like to make trouble...... Most of them are proletarians, hundreds of thousands or millions of people gathered together, and it would be fine if it was peaceful and prosperous. But if there are any turbulent years, life is not guaranteed, and it is easy to be instigated to make trouble. ”

Maria. Clementina herself financed the rebellion of the people of Paris in her early years, and it is certainly a good thing to talk about it.

As a result, most of the royal families of Europe do not regard the working class in the capital as the basis of their rule. In their view, the landlords and peasants were the cornerstone of the country's stability. The reason why Russia is so turbulent is that this cornerstone has gone wrong...... The abolition of serfdom was not reformed, leaving Russia without an efficient agriculture and a peasant class that could serve as a cornerstone of social stability. Therefore, in the case of only mobilizing a few million people to join the army, it put Russia's domestic supply into a tight situation, and provided a good opportunity for the Russian Narodnaya Volya to start an uprising.

However, the degree of support of the peasants for the tsarist regime varied greatly from place to place throughout Russia. In the densely populated black soil areas, where land contradictions are acute, rural communes are mostly under the control of the Narodnaya Narodnik and its allies. In Western Siberia, where there were many people and little land, land was not an issue at all, so the support of the tsar among the peasants was very high. This may have been another important reason why Grand Duke Alexander chose Western Siberia as a stronghold. ”

Zhu Jishi frowned and listened to Maria's analysis, and was silent for a while, "...... It seems that it will not be so easy to get hold of this Empress Alexandra. And what about our direct army occupation of Western Siberia? Is it possible? ”

"There are millions of Russians in Western Siberia, and it is easy to occupy it, but it is difficult to rule it for a long time." Zhu Guoxiong shook his head, "So Erchen's idea is to support a Siberian kingdom as a buffer, and together with Xihua, it will become a barrier to the west of the Ming Dynasty." ”

"That's ...... That's fine. Zhu Jishi thought for a moment, "Is it just that Archduke Alexander can accept it?" ”

Zhu Guoxiong shook his head, "Erchen's idea is to first support the restoration of Archduke Alexander, let the Russians consume it themselves, and then ask Xihua to send two armies to support." If we can restore Empress Alexandra, we will cede some territory in Western Siberia. If it doesn't work, Archduke Alexander and Empress Alexandra can only rely on the Ming. (To be continued.) )
