"Your Majesty, please take a look!"

Jiao Miao took out a book and handed it to the female official to present to the emperor.

Jiao Miao belongs to the former ministers of the former Ming Dynasty and the author of "Fire Attack". In addition to the knowledge of firearms, the book also introduces European city defense technology and explains in detail how to defend the city with a fortress.

This gentleman's hometown is in Anhui, and after Chongzhen hanged himself, he hurriedly left Beijing. With the manuscript of firearms to contribute, Zhao Han personally tested and taught his knowledge, and found that he was still a scientific talent, so he was directly recruited to serve in the Ministry of Engineering, and then transferred to the Ministry of War as a foreigner.

At this moment, Zhao Han has this "Fire Attack Essentials" in his hand, and the content is richer and more detailed. It records the patterns of firearms of the Datong Army, as well as the manufacture, storage and transportation of firearms and ammunition. It involves metal smelting, machinery manufacturing, mathematical knowledge, as well as the firearms application formation of the Datong Army, and even includes the analysis of actual war cases.

After reading it carefully for a while, Zhao Han praised it: "This book is very good, Jiao Qing has worked hard." ”

Jiao Miao hurriedly surrendered his hand: "The Lu of the Eater, the Matter of Loyalty." ”

There was no money to reward, Zhao Han verbally praised a few words, and then sent Jiao Miao to retreat. The real reward, of course, is a promotion, and he can be the next military department Arsenal Shiro.

After Jiao Miao left, only John Tang remained.

Zhao Han smiled and said: "Tang Qing has also worked hard, and he has contributed a lot to this book. ”

Tang Ruowang hurriedly said: "I don't dare to call it hard work for Your Majesty." ”

Smiling and smiling, Zhao Han suddenly became serious: "How many slaves are there in Macau?" How many slaves were there in the Jesuits? ”

John Tong replied: "There are probably thousands of slaves in Macao, and about half belong to the Society of Jesus. In the past two years, a lot of them have been sold, and I don't know how many are left. ”

"You must have divided a lot of money among the high-ranking Jesuit priests, right?" Zhao Han asked again.

Tang Ruowang didn't dare to hide it, and replied: "Divide some." ”

Zhao Han sneered: "This is how your sect redeems the world? ”

John Tang couldn't answer, he could give countless explanations in Europe, but those answers were all farts in front of Zhao Han.

As the emperor of China, Zhao Han has not yet been in charge of the life and death of foreign slaves, but the negative impact on China is what he has to pay attention to.

On the Macau side, it has long been stipulated that all employees must be registered.

Even if the Portuguese live for more than a year, they have to register to facilitate management.

However, the slaves in Macao have been neglected for a long time, and the local officials did not treat the slaves as human beings. It was a management loophole that was exploited for several years and led to the flourishing of the Chinese slave trade.

Zhao Han said: "Do you know that the three martial arts destroy the Buddha? ”

"I've heard a little about it." John Tong replied.

Zhao Han said: "During the Han and Jin dynasties, Buddhism was introduced to China for a short time. At that time, monks could marry wives, eat meat, and keep slaves. even occupied land, hid the population, and even some monks thought of rebelling against the world and wanting to turn China into a Buddhist country on earth. As a result, Emperor Taiwu of the Northern Wei Dynasty destroyed the Buddha, Emperor Wu of the Northern Zhou Dynasty destroyed the Buddha, and Wuzong of the Tang Dynasty also destroyed the Buddha, and the Buddhist monks finally became honest. By the time of Zhu Yuanzhang, the Taizu of the Ming Dynasty, monks were not allowed to marry wives or eat meat, and Chinese monks became what they are now. ”

John Tang's heart was beating wildly, and fear arose.

Zhao Han asked, "Do you understand what I mean?" ”

Tang Ruowang knelt down suddenly: "The minister understands." ”

Zhao Han was afraid that he would not understand, so he pointed out directly: "Land and population are the foundation of the imperial court. Whether it is Buddhism or Yahism, whoever dares to touch it is a dead end. Take this to heart and tell it to all the preachers! ”

"Minister, obey!" John Tang hurriedly kowtowed.

John Tang was frightened, the emperor's tone was terrible, and it seemed that he was really going to order the killing of the missionaries just now.

The three ministers were called, and Zhao Han asked about foreign races.

Li Banghua replied: "Your Majesty, there are not as many alien races in China today as there were in the early Ming Dynasty. In the early years of the Ming Dynasty, foreign races were everywhere, and they were still assimilated by China, and the old government of Ming Taizu could be used. ”

"How did Ming Taizu do it?" Zhao Han asked.

Li Banghua said: "People of different races are forbidden to marry of the same race!" ”

Zhao Han immediately smiled: "Good way." ”

It is forbidden to marry within the same clan, and the scope of this "clan" is very broad. All whites are considered "sexually ethnic" and whites are forbidden to marry whites.

The Yuan Dynasty left countless white people in China, and they were assimilated by Zhu Yuanzhang's marriage ban for more than two hundred years. The mixed-race descendants of those whites all regard themselves as Han Chinese, and there is not much difference in even their appearance, and many of them were admitted to the imperial examination as Ming officials.

The Chinese population is tens of millions of people, that is, there are tens of millions of foreign races, and they will be quickly assimilated under the marriage ban.

Zhao Han said: "Intention! ”

Pang Chunlai didn't move, his eyes were not good.

Li Banghua immediately stepped forward and picked up a brush to draft the holy decree.

Zhao Han said: "In Datong China, except for my Chinese ethnicity, the rest are regarded as foreign races. Marriage between foreign races is not allowed, but marriage with the Chinese ethnicity. If a foreigner marries and has children of Chinese nationality, and the descendants of three generations later, they can be regarded as Chinese ethnic and can marry freely at that time. ”

That's probably what it means, the specific content of the holy decree needs to be polished by Li Banghua.

After a short time, a holy decree was written, and Zhao Han signed it after looking at it, and handed it to the imperial chamber to write the real holy decree.

Zhao Han continued: "The second decree is that all Portuguese in Macao must be naturalized in China within this year. Those who were loyal to the King of Portugal were all expelled from the country. Those who do not wish to leave the country and do not wish to become naturalized must register as temporary residents of foreign countries and pay a temporary residence fee of 30 silver dollars per year. A naturalized person shall be regarded as a Chinese national, and shall be regarded as a foreign race in the country, and no marriage shall be allowed between foreign races. ”

This decree forced the Portuguese to make a choice, either to be loyal to the Chinese emperor or to the Portuguese king. Forced those Portuguese to intermarry and assimilate with the Chinese. At the same time, it was also a complete recovery of Macao, and all Macao officials were selected by the imperial court.

The reason for this is simply that the Portuguese have no use value.

Portugal lost the Japanese market and lost the Strait of Malacca. and became independent from Spain, and the silver of Spain no longer passed through Portugal to Macao. In this way, what use does Macau have for Zhao Han?

"The third decree is that all slaves sold to China by foreign countries in Fanbang, regardless of men and women, are regarded as foreign employees, and all must be reported to the government for registration. Foreign workers are required to pay an annual poll tax, and no marriage is allowed between foreign workers. As for the poll tax, it is charged according to the local rice price in March of that year. A foreign hired man, the poll tax is thirty catties of refined white rice, which is converted into silver. ”

The price of rice in March was the highest of the year, and it was a time when the harvest was not shining.

Zhao Han did not completely kill foreign slaves, because brothels everywhere needed people, and large families in various places also needed people.

Throughout the ages, no country can completely ban it, and when the central government is strong, it can be banned for decades at most.

But this kind of industry must not be legalized.

Morality is only one of the factors, and it is more for the sake of law and order. The legalization of the Fengyue industry will inevitably bring vicious crimes, such as kidnapping, imprisonment, beating, killing, and human trafficking.

It can't be banned, and it can't be legal, and the best way to deal with it is to keep it in a gray area.

It's not black or white, it's black and white.

Whether it is black or white, the court has the final say, depending on the situation. The most important point is that the imperial court must always have the ability to control, so Zhao Han ordered that all practitioners must be registered.

There is also the land of large families in various places, and it is difficult to recruit enough tenants due to the division of land and immigration.

In the new dynasty of Datong, the land has long been divided into acres, and the grain tax is calculated according to the field yield. As a result, large families and nobles have to lose money when they have more land, and they have to pay taxes to the government instead of growing grain.

There has been a very miraculous phenomenon, some large households in the southern provinces, due to the lack of commercial profits to supplement, the more land the more they can make ends meet, so they take the initiative to donate idle land to the imperial court.

Don't be surprised, this is the result of a strong government.

Take Zhu Yuanzhang's time as an example, a large number of yeoman farmers and even small landlords in the Jiangnan area donated their private land to the state as official land, and then the whole family changed from peasants to tenants attached to official land. Because by doing so, not only can you be exempted from forced labor, but you can also reduce the payment of harsh taxes and miscellaneous taxes.

This practice of dedicating land to officials caused a series of evil consequences in the middle of the Ming Dynasty and was one of the main reasons for Zhang Juzheng's reform.

Foreign "migrant workers" cannot be banned, otherwise large families will not be able to farm, and sooner or later all the idle land will have to be donated to the imperial court. The more land given to the nobles, the more grain the nobles need to pay, and they only can't get in and out, because they can't recruit tenants to farm.

Giving the field becomes a punishment!

Zhao Han thought on his knees, and he could guess what the situation was. The dukes and marquis in the court, one is counted as one, and the hometown must have bought slaves to farm, otherwise they would have made trouble a long time ago.

Zhao Han could only turn slaves into foreign hired laborers, so that the fields of nobles and large families could continue to cultivate and harvest. At the same time, a poll tax was levied on these slave workers in order to curb the number of slaves.

In twenty or thirty years, when the population of the provinces increases, and the large families and peasants have more children and grandchildren, the per capita land area will inevitably be diluted.

At that time, there will be more peasants willing to work on the land, and there will be no need to buy slaves from abroad to farm.

After all, whether it is Nanyang or Indian, the farming technology is certainly not as good as that of Chinese farmers. Coupled with the fact that a poll tax was imposed, it was far less cost-effective than recruiting local tenants, and the phenomenon of buying slaves for farming would gradually disappear.

At that time, the landlords were forced to release slave laborers, dispersed and moved to various places, and after a generation or two, they could assimilate into Chinese.

What Francisstan, that kind of situation will not appear in China.

The greening and blackening of France is mainly due to the two world wars, and the population of France has died too much. After World War II, the country was rebuilt, and a large amount of cheap labor was needed, and blacks had to be brought in from the colonies to supplement the population.

As for China, it is estimated that Zhao Han has doubled its population before he died. There are many people in the country and there is little land, so they can only immigrate and expand, so how can they allow foreign races to come to the country to stir up peace?

Now is a special case for a special period!
