Chapter 545: This can really be had

"You should be a Westerner, right? How can you say that you are from Tianjin?" Qin Mubai looked at this foreigner and asked directly.

"That's right, although I am a Westerner, I was born in Tianjin, so I am a Ming and Tianjin, and my parents are French. The foreigner shrugged his shoulders directly and said.

I have to say that this guy's Chinese is really slippery, so it seems that what he should have learned since he was a child is Chinese, so there is no problem with this kind of Chinese. After all, it's just that the appearance is different, if you start learning Chinese from a young age, you will naturally speak Chinese when you grow up.

"I see, but now there are a lot of Europeans in the capital. Qin Mubai asked with a smile.

"That is, our Daming is powerful in the world, and now it can be said that it is the center of the world, and people all over the world envy our Daming, and they are proud to be able to study in Daming, so more and more people come to live in Daming or come here to study and learn Oriental culture. Wu Lin immediately said proudly.

Qin Mubai was speechless, your sense of honor in this country is really strong, but you are blonde and blue-eyed...... How can it be so disobedient, if it is seen by future generations, it is estimated that it will shock the jaws of the ground.

"Well, thank you, but we don't bother with other things. Qin Mubai said with a smile.

"It's okay, if you need help, go to the officials on the street, and they'll help you out. Wu Lin introduced it to Qin Mubai, and then said goodbye and left.

After Wu Lin left, Qin Mubai and Zhu Yuanzhang glanced at each other, and then Zhu Yuanzhang said with emotion: "It seems that our Ming Dynasty is still there, and history has really been changed." ”

"In fact, it's hard not to change, after all, the main enemies have been eliminated in the bud in advance, and it is too difficult for the distant enemies to completely defeat the Ming Dynasty. Qin Mubai shrugged his shoulders, in fact, Qin Mubai was not surprised, there may be a rebellion inside, but it is absolutely impossible for Da Ming to be defeated.

After getting the resources and grain of the South Seas, especially after the fleet returned from North America, whether it was sweet potatoes or potatoes and other large-output grains, although this period belongs to the Xiaoice period, the north is almost every year in drought, the rainfall area moves south, but after taking the entire South Sea, as long as there is a fleet, transport grain back, this will not be much of a problem at all.

In particular, the country's strategic grain reserves should always exist, Qin Mubai has already told Zhu Qizhen in advance that there will be a drought in the last years of the Ming Dynasty, if they are not ready, then it can only be said that the emperor is a faint monarch.

"Let's go meet now and see if it's one of my descendants. Zhu Yuanzhang smiled and walked directly to the gate of the palace with Qin Mubai.

This time, it is much more difficult than the second time, especially for the Praetorian Guards at the gate, the matter of Zhu Yuanzhang and Qin Mubai is already a legend, more than a hundred years have passed, close to two hundred years, this is already a legend within a legend, and no one can be sure whether it is true or not.

But Zhu Yuanzhang's jade pendant was still sent in, and apparently they still got the explanation of the emperors of the previous dynasties, so this jade pendant was still sent back.

Qin Mubai and the others waited for about half an hour before they saw the person they wanted to wait, but they didn't wait outside the imperial city when they waited, the forbidden army guarding the gate directly let them into the gate, but they only waited inside the city wall, and didn't let them go to the palace.

When the emperor in the distance came, it was a young emperor who probably looked about thirty years old, but whether it was Chongzhen or not, it was really hard to say.

However, in terms of age, Chongzhen's age in this period should be about the same, and Chongzhen in this period should be in his thirties, and he should be thirty-three years old.

At the beginning, Qin Mubai left a photo, but this photo is not something anyone can see if they want to see it, it is estimated that this photo is directly placed in the Taimiao of the Ming Dynasty, only the emperor can see it, and it is unknown whether others can see it.

However, when this emperor saw Zhu Yuanzhang, he immediately took two steps forward, then knelt down directly, and said respectfully: "Zhu Youzhen, a descendant of later generations, has seen His Majesty Taizu." ”

"Hurry up. Zhu Yuanzhang walked over and helped Emperor Chongzhen up, Qin Mubai didn't expect it, it was really Chongzhen, although he didn't know what happened in the middle, but Chongzhen actually became the emperor, but he didn't know how many years he had been the emperor.

After Zhu You checked it up, Zhu Yuanzhang said: "Originally, I didn't want to come back, because we gave what should be done and what should be given, whether Daming can continue or not depends on you children and grandchildren of future generations, but I still came back, mainly to come back to see you." ”

"Deyo understands, thank you Your Majesty Taizu for coming back, I have also read the history of our Daming, and I also know some about my own ending, but the ancestors have developed Daming so strongly, if I still let Daming lose in my hands, then I really don't have the face to see Your Majesty Taizu." Zhu Youzhen said directly.

"Let's go, let's go to the imperial study. Zhu Yuanzhang was also slightly relieved, obviously he should have been very worried before he was sure, but now he is finally relieved.

The imperial study, this place Qin Mubai has come for the second time, the decoration inside has not changed much, but the map hanging inside has changed a lot, as soon as he entered the door, Qin Mubai had already seen the world map hanging on the wall, looking at the Ming characters almost occupied two-thirds of the world map, Qin Mubai was also a little speechless.

This is really a bit too surprising, which is difficult for you to imagine in the future, and now on the map, the only thing that is not covered is probably the northern part of the Persian Gulf, Central Asia, plus Europe, India, etc.

And the part of Egypt is also engraved with the symbol of the Ming Dynasty, this place should be mainly for the control of the Mediterranean, the Suez Canal is estimated to have been dug a long time ago, because there is a sign on the map of the Suez Canal.

Because the central part of Africa has not yet been engraved with the symbol of the Ming Dynasty, including the Sahara Desert, it is not occupied, probably because the environment is too harsh. Others, such as southern Africa and Madagascar, have directly become the places of the Ming Dynasty.

As for the South Seas, not to mention, Oceania, all the islands in South Asia in the future, Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines and all other places have no accidents, all of them belong to the Ming Dynasty.

On the American side, it occupies a relatively small part, only bounded by the Panama Canal, which to the south probably only controlled the area of Colombia and Venezuela in later generations, and the part to the south does not occupy it at all.

Now don't brag about it, Daming can say that the Pacific Ocean has become a bathtub for his home. To be honest, Qin Mubai really didn't expect that more than 200 years have passed, and Daming can still hold on to this point, this is really a bit against the sky.

"With so much land, is the political situation still stable?" asked Zhu Yuanzhang.

"Except for some remote areas, the overall is stable, now we as a whole have almost completely controlled the situation, now we are in the entire Ming territory, our original ethnic minorities in China, including the Han people, are considered Ming people, and now our Ming people probably account for more than 95% of the total population. Emperor Chongzhen immediately spoke.

95%...... According to Chongzhen, it should be the Ming people who are one of the 56 ethnic groups in the country, and these ethnic groups together account for more than 95% of the total population, which means that those who occupy the land are almost rare.

"Like the natives here?" Qin Mubai asked, pointing to North America and Africa.

"There are not many indigenous people in North America, except for those who died because of the war, the rest have almost gone to South America, and those Kunlun slaves in Africa are also the same people, all located in the middle of Africa. Chongzhen immediately explained.

Qin Mubai immediately understood that this was to directly occupy the territory and then drive the people away directly. It is estimated that this is because the population in the early stage was not large, so I came up with a solution.

"Is the division of the population still even?" Qin Mubai asked with some curiosity, because how many people are there in North America and how many people are in Oceania, if people are concentrated in the land of Daming, it is really easy to have an accident.

"Now we have a new population policy, in our native country, the policy of rewarding land for having children has been abolished, and there are also restrictions on the population, the main way of restricting it is the policy of one wife and one concubine, which is about a hundred years old, and if you want to reward land, you have to go to overseas territories. ”

"Now there are about 200 million people in North America, and in our Ming Dynasty, including the original Annan, etc., north of the Strait of Malacca, the population is about 700 million now, but in the northeast part of the population is relatively small, probably less than 20 million people, and the population of the Western Regions is relatively small, only about 10 million people, and the population of other regions is relatively similar. ”

"In addition, there are now close to 20 million people in Oceania, 100 million people in the islands of the South Seas, and about 50 million people in Africa. Now there are about 3 million people in the army and 2 million in the navy. Chongzhen immediately made an introduction.

Qin Mubai and Zhu Yuanzhang glanced at each other, Damn, is this policy really successful? According to Chongzhen, Qin Mubai roughly calculated, that is to say, the population of the entire Ming Dynasty is now close to 1.1 billion. And the rest of the world's population combined is probably 200 million at the moment!

Don't think that this number is very small, it seems that it is not as many as the people in China in later generations, but you must know that in the middle of the 17th century, according to the general statistics of history, the number of people in the world during this period was originally about 5-600 million.

At most, it will not exceed 700 million, and now the entire population is almost doubling! This is not the point, the point is that the population of the Ming Dynasty has probably accounted for more than 90% of the world's population! This is already considered to be world domination, right?
