Chapter 319: Immigration Policy

[Today's first update]

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Zhao Chuanfeng's people have not yet arrived in the capital, but his recital has arrived first.

A piece of paper reported it, but it caused a shock in the government and the opposition.

Zhao Chuanfeng reported in the report that he had plundered the huge wealth and countless treasures of the Luzon region, and the cabinet quickly spread the word to the civil and military officials in the capital. When the Chinese military officials in Beijing learned of this, they were shocked and envious of this huge wealth plundered.

For a long time, the local officials of the Ming Dynasty were reluctant to serve overseas, for the simple reason that overseas monstrous places were not well connected to the king's religion, and they were poor and backward. They would rather take up their posts in the poor areas of the Ming Dynasty than go overseas. Therefore, the Taiwan Prefecture, the Ryukyu Prefecture, the Korean Prefecture, the Hawaiian Prefecture, and the newly occupied Luzon Prefecture were rarely visited by local officials of the Ming Dynasty, and even if they did, a hundred were not happy. Most of the people who went were officials from the former Liaodong Governor's Office.

At this moment, the local officials of the Ming Dynasty began to have ideas. Judging from the treasures handed over by Zhao Chuanfeng, the governor of Luzon, the plundering of the Luzon colonies was simply a place of great fortune, which subverted the previous impression of overseas territories of Ming officials.

In the past, when the Ming Dynasty expanded abroad, they all thought that they would occupy a place, and from then on this place would be the land of the Ming Dynasty, and the laws of the Ming Dynasty would be followed, and the same system of taxation and military service would be implemented in the occupied areas from then on.

Today, the concept of a colony was first introduced to the minds of Ming officials. Although they had heard of the concept of colony in the Western population before, they had never taken it to heart before.

Now, they finally understand what a colony is and what it does

"A colony is a place to plunder resources and wealth for the Ming Empire"

The hearts of every official understood, and for this reason, an originally calm heart finally became excited.

Officials quickly shifted from ignorance at first to enthusiastic attention and participation. After Zhao Chuanfeng's arrival at the gate of the Ministry of Officials, the officials in Beijing quickly kicked through the threshold, and the team was discharged for several miles. For a time, the vacancy of officials sent to serve in overseas colonies became popular.

In the imperial study, Qian Qianyi told Deng Haonan the situation truthfully and asked Deng Haonan to take an idea.

"Officials are now interested in overseas errands, but they are only willing to go out for the sake of money"

Qian Qianyi raised his concerns because these officials were all about to plunder money.

Deng Haonan smiled faintly and said, "This is very good."

"How can this be said to be good?" Qian Qianyi frowned suddenly, disagreed with Deng Haonan's words, and said: "These officials are released out, and their minds are full of thinking about looting money, which will inevitably destroy the legal system of the country, and will make the heavens angry and resentful in the future, and there will be trouble."

"Everything has good and bad aspects"

Deng Haonan put down the fold in his hand, looked at Qian Qianyi, and said: "Colonial plunder is injustice, you let the Qing officials and good officials do it, then it will be a disaster."

“……”

Qian Qianyi's eyes widened, and his face was full of disbelief when he saw such an explanation for the first time.

Deng Haonan smiled and said: "No matter which country, there are a lot of good officials and bad officials, and there are descendants to make up for the bad officials, so it is better to divide them correctly, let the good officials serve the country, and let the bad officials go to the colonies to plunder, which not only satisfies their wishes, but also helps the country increase its wealth, why not do it?"

Qian Qianyi's beard suddenly pouted, and Deng Haonan's crooked truth made him completely defeated.

"This--Wechen didn't dare to agree," Qian Qianyi replied: "Logically, it is indeed feasible. It's just that, in this way, the colony people are brutally plundered, and they are bound to rise up in rebellion."

"Then send troops to suppress" Deng Haonan said directly: "The army of the dynasty must go through constant war baptism in the future, so that the army of the dynasty can always maintain its combat effectiveness, and can it have the ability to protect the family and defend the country, and what the king said is right?" ”

Qian Qianyi rolled his eyes angrily, but he had to admit that what Deng Haonan said still made some sense.

"But the imperial court was dragged into the quagmire by the colonial war, and even if it plundered countless treasures, it would be consumed"

"Colonies don't last forever," Deng Haonan said with a smile: "It is enough to plunder for hundreds of years, and when the time is right, we will give up the colony." At that time, the wealth looted by the Ming Dynasty was enough to make the country prosperous. Our real purpose of using the colonies has been achieved"

"This—will you give up the colony in the future?"

Qian Qianyi was shocked again, he never expected him to refute, and Deng Haonan came up with more big truths.

"Things will be solved in the future, and the advantages will outweigh the disadvantages now, right?"

Qian Qianyi sighed, although there are still a lot of things that he wants to refute, but as Deng Haonan said, now the advantages outweigh the disadvantages, which is the law of survival of the country.

"Wechen understood"

"It's good to understand"

Deng Haonan was happy to persuade Qian Qianyi, and persuaded Qian Qianyi, which was equivalent to convincing the entire government and opposition officials.

Officials have changed their minds about overseas, which is exactly what Deng Haonan needs, and now Deng Haonan needs a large number of officials who support foreign expansion and plunder. In this way, we can change the dependence of the Chinese people on Confucianism and Taoism, which have always pursued cowardice and fear of things, and no longer hide behind the Great Wall and only be bullied and do not fight back.

It is not a matter that can be solved in a short period of time to make everyone in the Ming Dynasty change from defensive thinking to foreign colonial plunder. Now officials are beginning to yearn for overseas plunder, but more ordinary people do not know and do not benefit from foreign colonial plunder.

Wanting to involve the people is the real focus of Deng Haonan in the future.

"The interests of the colonies should not only be occupied by the officials, but also by the people, and only by equalizing the interests and satisfying the interests of the majority of the people can we ensure the long-term peace and stability of the country."

"Lord Shengming"

Qian Qianyi fully supported Deng Haonan's words, and in the chain of colonial interests, it should not only be given to a small number of officials, but should also be stained by the majority of the people.

"Wechen has a Jianyì" Qian Qianyi said: "Nowadays, the common people in many places of the country are still in dire straits, although the prince is exempt from taxes for three years and has given them a lot of relief, but the poor mountains and bad waters cannot feed too many people. Another twist and turn of the Governor of Luzon, Zhao Chuanfeng, was to ask for instructions to emigrate to Luzon in order to maintain Han rule over Luzon. Weichen believes that it is just right to resettle some people in the national court who cannot be resettled to emigrate to Luzon. This will not only solve their livelihood problems, but also eliminate the factors of instability in the country."

"Okay"

Deng Haonan agreed with both hands, and he also had this idea.

"The Spaniards in Luzon have been expelled, and the property controlled by the Spaniards before is in need of a large number of people to take over the immigrants to Luzon, and the king has approved it, so you can start arranging it immediately."

"Weichen obeys the order" Qian Qianyi is more and more confident in Deng Haonan, judging from Deng Haonan's various policies alone, although many policies make him puzzled, but on the whole, Deng Haonan will be a bright monarch.

He also said: "The poor mountains and bad waters in the northwest are hidden dangers in all dynasties. When the common people are in a disaster year, they will not be able to survive, so we will start immigrating from these places first."

Deng Haonan nodded and said, "The natural conditions in the northwest region are harsh, but it is too resource-intensive to immigrate overseas from the northwest. Now the north is settled, but the fertile land is undeveloped. Let the people who cannot survive in the poor mountains and bad waters in the northwest migrate to the north to survive, which is to consolidate national defense and solve the problem of people's livelihood. As for the overseas colonial immigrants, they should first move out from the densely populated south."

Qian Qianyi nodded and said: "What the prince said is extremely true, but since the promulgation of tax exemption for three years, southerners are especially reluctant to leave. The south is rich, a Jiangnan money and grain feed the entire Ming Dynasty, this tax exemption, the south can be said to be rich soon, they are unwilling to leave their homeland, if the court persecutes, it may backfire"

Deng Haonan waved his hand and said, "The court can't force them, but it can guide them well."

"What is the prince's plan?"

Deng Haonan said: "The Philippines is rich in gold, and officials from all over the country can make announcements, and the common people get food and clothing, and they will also pursue a well-off life, and they will also pursue prosperity if they get a well-off, so once the people know that Luzon is a colony of the Celestial Empire, where gold is abundant, and commerce and trade are even more profitable, then they will definitely rush to immigrate to Luzon."

When Qian Qianyi heard this, he couldn't help nodding in agreement.

"The prince is clever in this plan, and Weichen thinks it should be done"

Deng Haonan nodded, and said: "In order to increase the publicity effect, this king decided to make the gold and silver treasures that Zhao Chuanfeng paid tribute to public, and show off all the way from Tianjin Wei to Beijing, so that the people of the country are proud of the imperial court and proud of being a Ming person." ”

Qian Qianyi agreed with Deng Haonan's plan and said that he would do his best to arrange it.

"It's just that how is this huge amount of money going to be used?"

Deng Haonan said: "Spain has been strong for more than 200 years, and the wealth they plundered is almost as high as the wealth accumulated by the Ming Dynasty in the past 200 years. But Spain is now in decline, but it has made the Netherlands, Great Britain and France gradually stronger. The reason is that the wealth plundered by Spain was squandered by the royal family, and it was not converted into the real wealth of the people, but went to other countries. ”

Qian Qianyi nodded and said, "Just like they are willing to spend tens of thousands of taels of silver to buy us a bottle of dozens of taels of silver, sooner or later they will all squander it."

"That's the truth," Deng Haonan continued, "so the money we plundered back should be transformed into national strength."

Qian Qianyi became interested, and Deng Haonan's words always made him feel fresh and practical.

"What does the prince think?"

Deng Haonan looked at Qian Qianyi and said: "This money will be injected into the central bank for industrial and agricultural construction and to enhance national defense strength."

"The prince is for the country and the people, and Weichen admires it"

Qian Qianyi bowed and asked, "I don't know where the prince is going to start, so Weichen should make arrangements as soon as possible."

Deng Haonan thought for a while and said: "First plan the economy and then the market economy"

“……”

Qian Qianyi was stunned, and Deng Haonan realized that he had blurted out again. So he roughly explained to Qian Qianyi, and roughly explained the planned economy and the market economy. Although Deng Haonan is also less than half a bottle, this concept is still advanced, which has benefited Qian Qianyi a lot.

The reason why Deng Haonan wanted to adopt a planned economy first was mainly because the current Ming Dynasty did not have a considerable amount of capitalist primitive accumulation like the West, and the capitalist economy of the Ming Dynasty had just started, so Deng Haonan needed to use the planned economy to complete the initial economic reform.

This is all thanks to historical experience, Westerners slowly explore step by step, but Deng Haonan can directly pick up ready-made ones. The greatest advantage of the planned economy is that the state can concentrate its efforts on building with the national strength of the whole country, and in this way, everything can be done with half the effort.

Deng Haonan means to use the power of the state to concentrate on things, build various state-owned factories, and build an industrial power. In this way, with the strong support of national strength, the Ming Dynasty will complete the two hundred years of slow exploration in the West in the shortest possible time. The exploration of the West is to first accumulate private capital, and then the small streams converge into large rivers, that is, small workshops eventually become large workshops, and then become a monopoly of the big capitalist economy.

Deng Haonan's planned economy went in the opposite direction, first concentrating state forces to build a state-monopolized big capitalist economy, and then transferring state-owned assets to private individuals who had made outstanding contributions to the country. In this way, the national capital will be divided into high capital, and big capitalists will be cultivated. After the middle capital is distributed to the people, it is cultivated into the middle class, and the low capital is cultivated into the petty bourgeoisie. Civilians who did not contribute to the state had no distribution of assets, and had to continue to work with their own hands, essentially becoming proletarians.

Of course, in Deng Haonan's reform program, the proletariat is not really proletarian, but only relatively. Because the Ming Dynasty will have a vast colony, which is where the proletarian citizens will fight for the country. Deng Haonan gave them a chance, whether they can become propertied people or not, everyone needs to struggle by themselves.

The result of both is the same, that is, capitalism can be completed**. The difference is that Westerners are slow, a little bit groping, and finally completed after the bottom-up **. And the speed of the Ming Dynasty, Deng Haonan directly took the doctrine, ate ready-made, and finally completed the top-down reform peacefully.

Deng Haonan's experience was built on the top-down capitalist reform in Japan in later generations, and together with the planned economy of the Soviet Union, it would be the most perfect and fastest reform of the capitalist system.

At least, for the time being, Deng Haonan could not find a better way to carry out bourgeois reform.

Qian Qianyi couldn't fully understand Deng Haonan's words, and Deng Haonan didn't need Qian Qianyi to understand, he just needed Qian Qianyi to do what he said.

"With these 230 million silver dollars to fill the central bank, then the people will have more trust in the financial resources of the imperial court"

"Of course"

Deng Haonan nodded noncommittally, with so much money filling the central bank's treasury, the people will rest assured that they will deposit their money in the bank. Only if the Chinese people continue to deposit money in the bank, then Deng Haonan's financial reform will be completely completed.

Financial reform and monetary policy are not in danger, but Deng Haonan has paid all his small treasury for this.

Qian Qianyi never mentioned the dozens of ships of treasures that Zhao Chuanfeng handed over to the treasury in addition to the 230 million silver dollars, he just asked whether the treasures would enter the palace or the Liao Palace, in short, he did not ask Deng Haonan to use these priceless treasures as the treasury. As for entering the palace or the Liao Palace, Qian Qianyi also knows that it will be Deng Haonan's sooner or later, and Deng Haonan should be compensated.

It's just that Qian Qianyi always has a question he wants to ask Deng Haonan, that is, why Deng Haonan has not won the Ninth Five-Year Artifact yet.

"Lord Wang, there is a sentence in Weichen that I don't know whether to say or not?"

Deng Haonan saw that Qian Qianyi wanted to speak and stopped, and asked with a smile: "Lord Qian, but it doesn't hurt to say it."

Qian Qianyi took a deep breath, looked at Deng Haonan and said: "The prince now governs the country comparable to Yao Shunyu soup, compared to the Han and Tang Emperors, it is also not a penny, and now everyone expects it, and the Ming family has been decayed and unbearable, why don't the prince win the artifact and make meritorious deeds through the ages?" ”

Deng Haonan paused for a moment, originally he thought that the first person in the yellow robe should be his descendants, but it was Qian Qianyi who took the lead in breaking the screen paper.

Deng Haonan looked at Qian Qianyi, didn't understand Qian Qianyi's intentions, and thought that the other party was testing him, so he said, "What does Lord Qian mean by this?" How could this king do such a thing? ”

Qian Qianyi smiled, Deng Haonan's reaction was expected by him.

"When Song Taizu Zhao Kuangyin Chen Qiao mutinied the yellow robe, and as a result, he created a hundred years of meritorious deeds in the Great Song Dynasty, if Zhao Kuangyin did not accept the yellow robe, then Zhou Shizong's descendants were incompetent, not only ruined the existing family business, but also could not end the chaos of the five dynasties and ten countries, and it was the people of the world who suffered."

Deng Haonan secretly said that this Qian Qianyi seems to have run away from the yellow robe today, and he has to admire his shrewdness as an official, and there are more people who push Deng Haonan to the top, but the first person to stand up can gain Deng Haonan's favor and trust, and the future is just around the corner. I didn't see that Qian Qianyi was also a master of speculation.

"What does this have to do with this king?"

Deng Haonan asked knowingly and continued to test Qian Qianyi.

I only heard Qian Qianyi say: "The current exploits of the prince, the past and the present, the accession to the throne of the Ninth Five-Year Plan, the winning artifact has become the expectation of the public, supported by hundreds of officials, loved by the people, and there is no opponent in the country." However, Weichen didn't want to talk about this, because the prince was also a smart person and should have seen this a long time ago. What Weichen wants to say is that if the prince does not go to the artifact, then in the future, when the young emperor grows up, the prince will not have a good end, please think twice."

Deng Haonan smiled secretly, how did he know that the emperor was Deng Haonan's own son. It's just that Deng Haonan understands better than Qian Qianyi that the royal family has no family affection, and for the sake of the throne and power in the future, even if it is his own son, he may not be able to do anything to him.

Besides, if Deng Haonan's own son had been the emperor, he would not have the surname Deng in the future, which was the main reason why Deng Haonan first began to think about the usurpation. Of course, with the change of the current situation, that is no longer the main reason, but Deng Haonan has to sit in that position for the sake of all those who follow him.

"Of course, the master of high merit will not have a good end" Deng Haonan suddenly smiled: "I was really said by Lord Qian, there is really no such person who has a good end since ancient times."
