Chapter 168: Luo Suozhou
All dynasties and dynasties had a policy called migrants and realities. Translated into the vernacular, it means to migrate the people and enrich the frontier.
This again has to mention a very real problem, the collapse of the empire.
There was also a barely unified country in the West, which the Central Plains people called Great Qin, and its capital was the city of seven hills, which is also where today's Holy Seat is located.
When the Great Qin Empire weakened and even collapsed, its frontier provinces rebelled against independence.
Because in the process of expansion, the Great Qin Empire will continue to introduce other races to join the empire, basically one province, one clan and one place, after the Great Qin conquered them, the Senate only sent governors, tax collectors and troops, as long as they paid taxes on time, and contributed to the war, and other internal affairs were ignored and autonomy was implemented. That's it, Daqin also regarded him as a second-class citizen, and the drunken dreams and deaths of first-class citizens came from foreign plundering and oppression and exploitation of second-class citizens. In this way, a double contradiction arises, class and race.
There is also a third one, which is a regional contradiction, there are always rich areas and poor areas, when the empire falls apart, the rich regions will naturally not recognize the poor areas, and will only focus on getting rid of this poor brother.
So when the empire collapsed, almost all of the outer provinces broke away from the empire and began to seek independence??.??
If the main body is strong enough, it can still keep the core area and seek a comeback. If the subject is not strong enough, it will disappear into the long river of history.
The Central Plains Dynasty also considered this issue, so the policy of migrating people to the real border also came into being, the core of which lies in integration, you have me, I have you, and in the end there is no distinction between each other.
In today's Daomen, the territory is not vast, and the Daomen also has to consider this issue. Therefore, some people oppose the acceptance of Tawantin, and put forward the argument that "Tawantin can only share happiness and cannot share weal and suffering", which has a realistic basis.
After all, Tawantin is different from Nanyang, Nanyang has been fused with the Central Plains since the Zulong period, and after thousands of years, it has a sufficient foundation, but Tawantin is incompatible with the Central Plains no matter which aspect it looks at. Different cultures, language barriers, different thinking, really to accept Ta Wanting, from the perspective of historical experience, when the Daomen is strong, it is good to say, once the Daomen is weakened, Ta Wanting will inevitably pack up the soft and run away, this is not to share the suffering. Even biting back on the door is not impossible.
This is the main reason why the Li family's set of resistance is very large, if you want to engage in integration, it will take at least a few hundred years to achieve results, whether the Daomen can flourish for hundreds of years, no one dares to pack a ticket. If you want to take a shortcut, that is the way of the Westerners, kill people directly, slaughter the city and destroy the land, but this is contrary to the purpose of civilization of the Daomen, if you really want to do this kind of thing, what face do you have to blame the Westerners? After all, the Daomen is also dry.
The key to killing this kind of thing
It will eat away at its own legitimacy, don't underestimate the role of moral righteousness, and to maintain people's hearts depends on moral righteousness, born in injustice, and in injustice, you will also die in injustice.
The set advocated by Qi Xuansu seems to be very unreliable, but it is actually of great practical significance, we don't care about your own problems, we just cooperate. Whether you kill people internally or oppress you, it's all your internal contradictions, don't settle the account on the Taoist head. As for where the West Gate goes, as long as the steam gospel in the north does not fall, the West Gate has the meaning of existence.
Since the Daomen were unwilling to accept Tawantin into their territory, the outer territory of the Daomen was the vast Western Regions outside of Xiposa Continent, Borneo, Luosuzhou, Fenglin Continent, and Xizhou. Daomen also implemented the policy of migrating people to the real side, among which the best implementation is the Nanyang region, there is no doubt about it, when Qi Xuansu was still a seven-grade Taoist priest, he heard that Daomen would send the people who lost their land to Nanyang every year, killing two birds with one stone.
Other regions have their own difficulties, such as Fenglinzhou, where the environment is not bad, but the place is too small and there are too many people, and there is no empty land. Opposite to Fenglin Continent is Luo Suo Continent, the place is too big and there are too few people, and finally it became a place of exile.
Daomen never wastes manpower, and many high-grade Taoist priests will be sent to the Kunlun Daofu Cultivation Temple after falling into the heavenly net, because these high-grade Taoist priests are powerful and close to Yujing, which is easier to suppress and guard, and they don't dare to make any changes, if they are put too far away, these people are likely to run away directly. It's really hard to take care of, or it's a great sin
, and sent it to the three major prisons.
There were also some prisoners who were not so powerful, and they were exiled to Luo Suozhou. Although the environment of Luo Suo Zhou was harsh, it was rich in mineral resources, and these exiled prisoners were arranged to mine. In addition, there are a large number of ordinary miners who have been hired, most of these people are from the South Seas and the Central Plains, but no one wants to live here for a long time, they all work for a few years, save enough money and go back to their hometown to live.
The entire Luoshaozhou is a large mining area, which supports the smelting industry of Daomen, and so many ironclad ships and firearms are counting on here.
Therefore, Tianjitang has a strong sense of presence here, just as Shibotang has a strong sense of presence in Nanyang and other places, which is the same reason.
In addition, this "mining area" also serves as a transit station, port, and warehouse, and Daomen's assistance to the Southern Continent is transported here first, and then transshipped to the Southern Continent. Even in recent years, giant workshops have been built directly next to the mines, eliminating the need for transportation.
I have to say that such a huge territory surpasses Ren in the history of the Central Plains
What dynasty, if the southern continent is also included, then no matter what time it is, there is always a piece of land that is bathed in the sun, like the sun in the sky, and the sun does not set.
This is the Daomen.
It is precisely because of this that the position of the head of the Daomen sect is so eye-catching and coveted.
When the "Sun Boat" of the Xidaomen Mission appeared in the sky above Luo Suozhou, Qi Xuansu looked down and saw a desolate stretch of yellow sand, no vegetation, no river, and at a glance people felt the name "Jeo Island".
This is the real scene of the western part of Luosuzhou, and it is easy to remind people of the Western Regions, which are also seriously desertified today, and even inferior to the Western Regions. In any case, the Western Regions also had a period of abundant water and grass in history, leaving behind many civilizations, and later its decline was a later thing. But there are no traces of civilization left here, and even the animals in general have retained their quite primitive appearance, which is really barren land.
The flying boat continued to move forward, and the environment gradually changed, and there were people.
At the same time, two "Zijiao" also took to the skies to accompany the mission, "Welcome the Xidaomen mission to Luoshaozhou, and two of our provincial flying boats are ordered by the provincial government to guide the way and escort the mission."
Led by two "Zijiao", the "Sun Boat" of Xidaomen flew to the nearest port of Dayuan, which is named after a person to commemorate Wang Dayuan, the first native of the Central Plains to discover Luo Suozhou. There is also a Huanzhang City, which is named after Wang Dayuan's expression "Huanzhang".
At this time, in the port of Dayuan, Ye Qingshuang, the real person in charge of the Luo Suozhou Provincial Mansion, had already led several deputy mansion masters to wait on the dock, just a Qi Xuansu, it would not make Ye Qingshuang so excited, but the Xidaomen mission was different. Huangfu Ji, as the core figure of the future of Xidaomen, still has to give a very high standard of reception on the Daomen side.
The huge "Sun Boat" landed on the surface of the sea like a moving island, and although it was not as detailed as the "Yinglong", the cascading palaces were one of its major features, and the light surrounding it illuminated the port of Obuchi from all angles.
Putting down the gangway, Huangfu Ji was the first to walk down, followed by Qi Xuansu.
Ye Qingshuang had already taken the initiative to greet him, and greeted Huang Fu who walked down the gangway. Then Huang Fuji and the deputy lords behind Ye Qingshuang greeted each other in turn.
The meeting between Qi Xuansu and Ye Qingshuang was much more casual, just casually handed over - the two were not only fellow Daomen, but also old acquaintances. Don't forget, Borneo and Luo Suo Zhou are neighbors, at least half of Luo Sazhou's ore went to Borneo, Qi Xuansu, as the former chief deputy head of Borneo Daofu, mainly focused on economy and trade, and Luo Suo Zhou has many contacts, and I don't know each other
No way.
Ye Qingshuang is a female Taoist, and the Taoist has shouted equality for so many years, but there are still some results, and there are many women among the real people, such as Su Yuanyi, a real person in Cihang, Li Ruoshui of the Dijing Provincial Mansion, and Ye Qingshuang, all of whom are women.
However, it is undeniable that men still account for the vast majority of the high-level leaders, and the Daomen is still dominated by men in nature. When it comes to the most fundamental power, no one plays any gentlemanly demeanor, it all depends on ability.
This also reflects a very interesting phenomenon, in the Daomen, the highest status and the lowest status,
They are all male Taoist priests, showing a polarized trend. This also reflects the concept of competition between men, where the winner takes all, and the loser has nothing, which is cruel and ferocious.
In fact, it was reflected as early as childhood, when girls were just excluded, alienated, and isolated, boys might have killed themselves. This is just a prototype, far from a mature state. The competitiveness of men and women created by the two environments is naturally very different after they reach maturity.
The pros and cons always go hand in hand, in an orderly and stable environment, although the female Taoist priest is limited to the upper limit, it is difficult to touch the highest power, but the lower limit is also guaranteed, and the worst can still marry, which is one more way out than those male Taoist priests who are like cattle and horses.
This is also the reason why so many female Taoist priests support Zhang Yuelu, they shout too much equality, and they also believe it, they hope too much that there will be a female Taoist to prove that female Taoist priests can hold up half the sky.
Seeing that it is a foregone conclusion that Cihang Zhenren will accompany him, in the end, it is Qingwei Zhenren and Donghua Zhenren who will compete with each other, and they can only hope for the next generation, after all, there are two women, Zhang Yuelu and Yao Pei, which are much greater in terms of probability, so these two people can't still accompany Li Changge and Qi Xuansu, right? It won't be Li Changge and Qi Xuansu to continue the dispute between the previous generation of Qingwei Zhenren and Donghua Zhenren, right?
In fact, Qi Xuansu also has advantages, and the level is higher. Zhang, Yao, and Li just represent the three major families, but Qi Xuansu is the only one who was born at the bottom, and he is the kind of low-level male Taoist priest who can't even marry his wife. For the huge group of poor Taoist priests, whoever cares whether you are a man or a woman is a young master and a young lady, but Qi Xuansu is his own person.
Although Qi Xuansu recognized the godmother of the Yao family and married the daughter-in-law of the Zhang family, he was also stronger than the other three.
Don't underestimate this trend of thought, it can only reach a certain momentum, and it can really affect the upper echelons.
Coincidentally, Ye Qingshuang was a Taoist priest from a poor family, so she was "assigned" to the "good place" of Luo Shaozhou.
"I've been very busy lately, I don't have enough energy, I lay on the sofa for a while last night, I was going to close my eyes, and it was already four o'clock in the morning when I opened my eyes, so that's it for this month, and I will try to be full attendance next month."
