8-55 The world is a ball
The fleet went south along the coastline, only once in Fuzhou and Anping, and rushed to the vast sea of Lusong, which was incomparably beautiful when it was calm, and the sea and sky made the students feel relaxed and happy, and when the storm came, the wind and clouds changed color, raging and violent turbulence, so that the students vomited up the last drop of acid water in their stomachs, in short, these young people have experienced a baptism of nature and understood how vast the outside world is.
When the ship arrived in Xinbianjing, it was still a warm welcome ceremony, the honor guard, the drum band, the bustling people, the sea of flowers, and the familiar yellow faces and black eyes of the homeland, and the Han costumes, which made everyone feel like they were at home.
Because Liu Ziguang's identity is relatively special, he has the title of Duke of the Protector of the Song Dynasty on his head, so the officials of the Song Dynasty did not greet foreign envoys as calmly, but took a bowing salute.
After Liu Ziguang got into the carriage, he went directly to the palace, and the people who were still in the sea of flowers along the way held garlands and shouted: "Protect the country!" Liu Shaobao! "It makes the students wonder when our marshal became the protector of the country, and I have heard of the position of prince Shaobao, but it is just an inconspicuous one among the many false titles of the marshal, I really don't understand why these people in the Song Dynasty attach so much importance to this title.
The students didn't understand the deep Yue Fei complex of the Song people, but Liu Ziguang knew very well that the other party was uncomfortable with such a high-level welcome ceremony, this was a killing, if the people in the court knew, whether it was the trick of the Song Dynasty people or not, they would only impeach themselves more crazily.
When they arrived at the palace, the atmosphere cooled down suddenly, Liu Ziguang's guards were stopped at the Xuande Gate, and they were not allowed to enter, and only the Duke of Huguo was allowed to enter the palace alone.
Song people advocate white, Liu Ziguang into the countryside and customs, wear a short-sleeved tulle hidden python pattern robe, the python pattern is woven with weft, only in some specific perspectives can be seen, both beautiful and low-key, the audience ceremony is carried out in the Daqing Palace, now Zhao Wen and Zhao Jing two sisters sit behind the bead curtain to take over Liu Ziguang's kneeling worship Zen ceremony, extraordinary, after Qin Tianjian carefully calculated and arranged at the beginning of the new year, that is, the first day of the new year next year, so now the national Yuan of the Song Dynasty is still Zhao Wen, but all government affairs have been handed over to the prison Zhao Jing to handle the military affairs of Pingzhang, Zhao Jing's father, the king of Taiping County, but the power has been taken by his daughter, the old man is just an empty shelf。
After the ceremony, the empress asked the inner supervisor to give a seat to Liu Ziguang, Liu Ziguang thanked him, sat on the jade stool with a golden knife, and looked at the empress behind the bead curtain without any scruples.
Liu Ziguang, a civil and military official who traveled to the Song Dynasty on both sides, did not want to openly mention these private matters. Fortunately, the formal ceremony ended quickly, Zhao Wen drove back to the harem, leaving Zhao Jing and Liu Ziguang to discuss state affairs, Liu Ziguang quickly raised his eyes to see that Zhao Wen was actually wearing a dragon robe similar to the Goryeo style, the figure was well hidden, or the stomach could not be seen, presumably it was to deliberately cover it up, after all, unmarried pregnancy is very faceless, Liu Ziguang understands it this way.
The next step was formal diplomatic negotiations, the two sides moved to the Wende Palace, where a long table had been prepared, covered with velvet, flowers and tea, Zhao Jing led a group of Song Wenwu officials to sit on one side of the table, and on the other side, only Liu Ziguang sat alone.
"Lord Protector, now we can talk about the deepening cooperation between the Song and Ming dynasties, my country has issued a list, and I hope you can sign and agree on behalf of the Ming Dynasty." Zhao Jing went straight to the point, took out a bound document and returned it to Liu Ziguang.
Liu Ziguang did not speak, silently took the document, looked at it, this is a formal diplomatic proposal, there is a long list of cooperation intentions, for some continue to reduce tariffs, expand the import of goods in the Song Dynasty, open the port to implement preferential tax rate clauses, Liu Ziguang felt acceptable, but there is a clause on the introduction of Ming labor, which shocked him.
The people of the Song Dynasty actually proposed to bring in as many as one million Han laborers! Such a large-scale export of labor, not to mention that Liu Ziguang did not dare to agree, even if he agreed, he would not be able to do this, the homeland of the Han people is deeply rooted, many farmers have never been out of the county in their lives, the farthest is to go to the neighboring villages, that is, the coast, those fishermen and businessmen are only sailing by boat, no matter how far they go, they will eventually return to their hometowns, but according to Zhao Jing's meaning, it is directly to introduce a million Han people as the people of the Song Dynasty, which is clearly an immigrant.
Large-scale migration activities have also been carried out in history in the last years of the Yuan Dynasty, successive wars, floods in the Huanghuai River basin, frequent famines, and the people of Lianghuai, Shandong, Hebei, and Henan have lost seven or eight of them.
The wounds of the war at the end of the Yuan Dynasty did not heal the early Ming Dynasty
The "Battle of Jingjing" followed one after another. Hebei, Shandong, Henan, and Anhui have suffered from it, and they have become almost uninhabited land.
Only Shanxi, ruled by the Mongol nobles Chakhan Timur and his son, was relatively stable, the wind and rain were smooth, and the harvest was bumper year after year, compared with the neighboring provinces, Shanxi was economically prosperous and prosperous.
In addition, a large number of refugees from other provinces have also flowed into Shanxi, making Shanxi a densely populated area. As a result, from the early years of Hongwu to the fifteenth year of Yongle, eight large-scale immigration activities were organized in more than 50 years.
The migrants from Hongdong and other places in Shanxi Province are mainly distributed in Henan, Hebei, Shandong, Beijing, Anhui, Jiangsu, Huguang and other places, and a small number of them move to Shaanxi, Gansu and Ningxia.
Immigrants from Shanxi to these places were later transferred to Yunnan, Sichuan, Guizhou, Xinjiang and the northeastern provinces.
Such a long, large-scale, organized, and large-scale migration consumes countless manpower and material resources, and the time span is enormous, and it almost takes a generation to complete this task.
Hong Wuye and Yongle Ye carried out the policy of resettlement and reclamation to revitalize agriculture, in order to consolidate the rule of the dynasty, gradually restore agricultural production, border defense, and consolidate social stability.
No matter how much effort is spent, it is worth it, but why did the people of the Song Dynasty want the Ming Dynasty to immigrate to him? The social foundation of the Ming Dynasty is the millions of people, without these scholars, farmers, industry and commerce, there would be no taxes, no food, no army, there would be no rule of the Zhu family for thousands of generations, and Zhu Youxiao could let go and let millions of people become Song people?
This is simply unrealistic nonsense! Liu Ziguang snapped the document shut and threw it back: "This is a traitor!" I can't agree more! "Deng 6 Let's watch the literary network together, support the genuine Iron Age group number: 65o17791, the atmosphere was suddenly very embarrassing, the officials of the Song Dynasty did not speak, and looked at Zhao Jing, the lord of the prison country, it seemed that Liu Ziguang would have such a fierce reaction, she smiled slightly: "What about betraying the country, is it that your imperial court is unwilling to open up its territory and expand its territory, and only wants to keep the so-called heaven, and the next generation will pass it on?" ”
"What is the connection between millions of immigrants and the expansion of territory? I have not even recovered the homeland of the north and the west, and I have no strength to expand the territory, I am afraid that this is just the ambition of your country, but although you have ambitions, but you do not have enough manpower to fight the idea of our Ming people. Liu Ziguang retorted, but he had already realized the meaning of Zhao Jing's words.
"What is your ambition, isn't your protector a part of the Song Dynasty? Aren't you a remnant of the descendants of Yan and Huang? That's not right. The vision is not long-term, do you know how big the world is? Zhao Jing said as she suddenly got up and walked to the palace wall, commanding the two eunuchs to pull open the huge curtain hanging on the wall, revealing the large map inside.
This is not an ordinary map, it's an extremely detailed map of the world! Liu Ziguang stood up in shock on the spot, this map is accurate and breathtaking, although it is not as accurate as the accurate satellite survey map of later generations, but it has been quite perfect, South America, North America, Australia, Africa, Europe, Asia are all marked with different colors in different spheres of influence, Liu Ziguang took a rough look at some of Asia, Goryeo, Wa, Manchu, Western Xia, Ming, Annam, Song Dynasty, There are also Indonesia and other places occupied by the Dutch and Spaniards, which are clearly marked, and even the different warlord-occupied areas in the Ming Dynasty are marked, Liu Ziguang keenly noticed that Huguang and Jiangxi have been painted in the same red as the Ming Dynasty, which can very well show the accuracy of this map and the seriousness of the Song people.
In some of the wild places of Asia, Africa, North and South America, Australia, and only white logos were used, Zhao Jing picked up a slender stick and drew a circle in the position of Asia, saying: "This is Dongsheng Shenzhou, Daming is just a part of it, those England, Spain, The Dutch are all from the west of Xiniuhezhou, where there are many vassal states, and our Spring and Autumn period is about the same, but these Xiyi are very adventurous, they from Xiniuhe Prefecture to the downward, and carved up the rich human resources of Nanzhan Continent, from there plundered a large number of Kunlun slaves, sent to Beiju Luzhou, thousands of miles away, to dig gold and silver, plant various crops, and then pull cheap agricultural products and silver to the Song Dynasty, pull to the Ming Dynasty in exchange for our silk, porcelain, industrial products, such a perfect and grand business operation chain is unimaginable and implemented by our Han people。 Liu Ziguang did not speak, but was obviously very interested in what Zhao Jing said, Zhao Jing paused and asked: "Protector of the country, do you know what the world is?" Liu Ziguang blurted out: "I know it's a ball." ”
