Chapter 1127: The Country of Father and Son, The State of Brothers Ask for a monthly pass
When the news of California's largely Chinese-controlled fall reached Nanjing, Zhu immediately set up a Pacific trading company. The name is a trading company, and there is only one business that can be engaged in, which is to transport immigrants! Ship immigrants to the freshly baked Kingdom of California at the lowest possible price. Now he has a clear view of the future situation, and the history of the world has long been unknown. Even if Emperor Zhu was a historian in later generations, he could not figure out what the world would be like in the next 2o or even 1o years. Therefore, he is not sure that this vast and rich kingdom of California will always belong to China, no, it should always belong to the descendants of China. However, one thing he knows is that as long as there are 2ooo, 3ooo or even more Chinese descendants living in the Kingdom of California, then this rich land will be thoroughly digested and mastered by the Chinese people. It will take a little time for such a large-scale migration, and during this time, only God knows how the situation in the world will change. And what he can do now is to shorten the process as much as possible.
As for whether the relationship between the Ming Empire and the Kingdom of California in the future will be a country of father and son or a state of brothers, Emperor Zhu actually doesn't care much. It had never occurred to him that all the lands belonging to the descendants of Huaxia would be placed under one empire - even if he could maintain the unity of the empire during his lifetime, but what about when he closed his eyes? Didn't all the world empires of the Europeans in history collapse one by one or exist in name only? However, the Europeans have spread their blood throughout the world, establishing one European "brotherly country" after another on lands outside Europe, which has greatly opened up the living space of Europeans.
And Zhu Jishi, the king of China. Because it was affected by the "population problem" of later generations. and always take the future "overpopulation" of the Ming Dynasty very seriously. Therefore, at the first opportunity, I wanted to evacuate the population of the Han region in the Central Plains. Even if it is transported to the land of the future brotherly country of the Ming Dynasty, it is good to let their children and grandchildren become foreign citizens......
In addition, he actually regarded California as an important pawn in the future Ming Dynasty and Britain and France in the struggle for world leadership. Although the center of power in the world is now in Europe, Emperor Zhu's eyes have been staring at the Pacific Ocean, staring at the new Da 6 and another uncultivated Da 6 thousands of miles south of the Ming Dynasty. In his opinion, things in Europe are too complicated and too far away for the Ming Dynasty, and they are not at all under the control of the Ming Dynasty. And the Ming Dynasty does not need to compete with Europeans in Europe. The Big 6 in North America and Australia and its oceans and islands. It is the main battlefield for the future Ming Empire and Europe to compete for the world! Therefore, a kingdom of California with 3oo0,000,000 Chinese or even more Chinese people is extremely important.
Of course, the population alone is not enough. The building of industry, agriculture, transportation, education, and military strength must all keep up. This country with 3ooo million Chinese must at least be able to withstand the joint attack of the Confederate States of America and the United States of America (or British America) in the future. Although this country is a very good blank paper, I don't know how much effort it takes to draw the most magnificent picture on it!
There is also the attitude of the two great powers, Britain and France. Although there are contradictions between the two countries, they are ultimately strong countries in the European circle. A world empire of yellow people is not what they want to see after all. After the end of the American Civil War. The Ming Empire didn't have such a good life as it is now...... But fortunately, there is also a black African empire that should be able to involve the energy of Britain and France. What the British will think does not know. But Napoleon III was already very interested, and this guy always felt good about himself! Let him toss this black Africa. His energy is limited, so he should concentrate on the construction of the Kingdom of California, Nanyang, Central Asia and the Ming Dynasty. Speaking of which, there are enough things to do, and even the American Civil War is almost out of energy for him to ask about it.
, served as the general manager of the Pacific Trading Company, and of course one of the shareholders. This company is still not a government-run enterprise, but a private company established by the royal consortium, the Xingye Foundation, the Jardine Matheson Foundation and other private or joint-stock consortiums in the Ming Dynasty. The Ming court was not inactive, but provided funding to the Pacific Trading Company in the name of shipbuilding subsidies. Of course, it's not just the Pacific Trading Company that gets the subsidy. All companies registered in Daming and engaged in Pacific shipping business can get subsidies when ordering merchant ships from shipbuilding companies in Daming. In fact, this is also a policy of the Ming court to promote the growth of the domestic shipbuilding industry - the contest of the navy, in the final analysis, is the contest of the shipbuilding industry! Historically, didn't the United States rely on its powerful shipbuilding industry and steel industry to kill Japan alive with its ships? And the basis of the British Empire's current dominance of the seas is actually their powerful steel and shipbuilding industries.
Not long ago, the Ming embassy in Britain sent a report that the British Thames Steel Shipbuilding Company had just delivered an ironclad ship "Warrior" with a displacement of more than 1oooo tons to the British Navy, and there was another ironclad ship of the same class on the slipway. In contrast, the Nanyang Shipbuilding Company of the Ming Dynasty has not yet built a steam sailing ship with an unladen displacement of more than 5ooo tons. In the next 2o years, it will not be easy for Daming's shipbuilding industry to catch up! However, Zhu Jishi is already ruthless in his heart, even if he spends a billion silver dollars, he will let the shipbuilding and steel industry of the Ming Dynasty pass through the UK!
All this qiē involved a considerable amount of his energy, and the time for dealing with daily government affairs in the country became less and less, so that the political system of the Ming Dynasty was also quietly changing. The power of the Cabinet and the Parliament is quietly growing. The political party struggle between the Jishi Youth Party and the Donglin Party also gradually matured under the "escort" of Emperor Zhu.
Today, the Emperor once again walked into the headquarters of the Imperial Consortium on the shores of Xuanwu Lake, which is also the tallest building in Nanjing, and uses a monolithic iron frame to support the load, just like the Hineys Boathouse, which was completed in England in 186o. At 18 meters tall, with six floors above ground and one floor below, it was one of the tallest buildings in the world of this era, if not one of them.
Walking into the general manager's office, Zhu Jishi saw Engels at first sight, he was always full of energy, sitting there with a straight rocker, and he knew that he was a Prussian at a glance. Emperor Zhu did not let the secretary alarm the general manager, so he directly pushed the door and entered, and when he entered, Engels was looking intently at a telegram in his hand. When he heard the footsteps, he raised his head and saw Emperor Zhu, and he was about to stand up and salute. was stopped by Zhu Jishi waving his hand.
"Friedrich, whose telegram made you so enthralled??" Zhu Jishi pulled a chair and sat down, and asked with a smile. The telegraph line connecting Europe and Asia was finally completed, and now news from Europe could reach Nanjing in the shortest possible time.
Engels shook his head and said, "A telegram from a friend of mine in the Prussian parliament. He sued me that King Wilhelm I of Prussia had just defied the opposition of the Parliament. In his speech in the lower house of parliament, Bismarck said: The contemporary problem of gravity cannot be solved by guò speeches and majority resolutions, but by iron and blood. ”
He flapped the telegram in his hand and sighed: "Now the liberal members of the Prussian parliament call this Bismarck the iron-blooded prime minister." This was not entirely due to his speeches, but to the budget that he forced to pass, and the new budget greatly increased military spending, and he also felt that the size of the standing army would be expanded...... This is a prelude to war! (To be continued!)
