813 [All Wants]
"Your Majesty, the Governor of Luzon has sent someone to report that the Sultanate of Mura Wa (Mampawa) has discovered a gold mine. The country's sultan, unable to mine, hired dozens of Han Chinese in Brunei to mine gold in one fell swoop. When the Han people in Luzon heard this, they crossed the sea to mine gold, leaving at least hundreds of people every month. As a result, there were already few Han Chinese on Luzon Island, and the gold mines became less and less because of the Murbawa gold mines. ”
"Secondly, the Netherlands is also eyeing the Murbawa gold mine. However, the Dutch lacked manpower and had to conquer the Sultanate of Murawa before they could capture the natives to mine for gold. At the end of last year, the Dutch sent 300 troops, which were repelled by the Sultan of Murbawa. Fearing that he would return, the Sultan sought the help of the Sultanate of Sanfa, the Sultanate of Landak (Pontianak) and the Sultanate of Brunei. The nations of Borneo were terrified and begged our Governor of Luzon to send troops. ”
"The Sultanate, because of its small size, does not dare to fall to any side. Now that it has been invaded by the Dutch, he has sent an envoy to Luzon, asking His Majesty to canonize the king, and he is willing to return the whole country to my court of Datong. ”
In the whole of Kalimantan, there are a bunch of sultanates, many of which have become vassals of Datong China.
As for this murmur ah wow gold mine, it has also caused a sensation in history.
The country is a port city-state, with cities as the center, and the territory does not radiate far to the periphery. Sudan didn't even have miners available, so he had to go to Brunei to find Chinese miners. At that time, China was under the rule of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and a large number of landless peasants poured in from Guangdong, with at least 2,000 arriving each spring and hundreds returning home with gold in the summer.
The news of the gold production became more and more evil, and in less than a hundred years, there were more than 100,000 Chinese there. Later, instead of mining gold, he went there to do business and farm with clans and fellow villagers as links. The famous "Lanfang Republic" was established on the basis of these Han people.
Today, Fujian and Guangdong provinces have extensive land division, and there are no landless peasants at all, so there are not many people who go to sea to mine gold. There are also one or two hundred people who go south every month, all of whom are unwilling to be lonely and want to make a windfall on gold. But it was embarrassing on Luzon, where the Han Chinese, mostly adventurers, were losing population at a rate of hundreds per month, and the governor of Luzon was already in a hurry.
Zhao Han said: "The Ministry of Rites and Rites engraved the golden seal of the king of Murbawa, and sent the envoy to canonize the king and the prince. The Luzon army, don't go out for the time being. First of all, I will note the Dutch that Mur Wow is a subject country of China, and once the Dutch invade Mur Wo, it will be tantamount to tearing up the contract and starting a war with China. If the Netherlands sent troops, it would not be too late for Luzon to send troops. Then he ordered the Governor of Palembang to send troops to attack Batavia as soon as the war began. ”
Kalimantan has a tropical rainforest climate and a small Han Chinese population, which makes it slow to develop. Therefore, Zhao Han never thought about occupying it, but kept recruiting his younger brother and recruiting subject countries, and his main energy was used to develop Luzon.
Now that this has suddenly appeared, it must be intervened to prevent the Dutch from interfering in the island.
But there is no need to be too aggressive, who knows when the Netherlands will come again, and it is too expensive to send troops to be stationed for a long time. It is best to intimidate the Dutch diplomatically, and if you can't be frightened, it is better to meet each other again, and it is better if the Sultan is killed by the Dutch and take the opportunity to occupy the city-state.
The Sultanate of Mura Wow has fertile land and can grow food.
Further south, the Sultanate of Landak, Pontianak, the capital of the "Republic of Lanfang", has more fertile alluvial plains.
The two places are not far apart, they can be occupied and connected, and they can be self-sufficient in food.
The gold mine is still secondary, mainly because of its maritime trade traffic location, which can establish the "Palembang-Pontianak-Luzon-Taiwan-Fujian" route.
In addition, it can form an "Malacca-Palembang-Pontianak" iron triangle, and if any one is attacked, the other two can be quickly supported.
"Wow, it's settled, let those three come in." Zhao Han said.
Yan Ruoxuan, who was disqualified from the imperial examination, as well as Yan Yuan, the first Jinshi in the second class of the current department, and Tang Zhen, the seventh Jinshi in the second class, were taken to the main hall by female officials.
After the adjustment of the new science and technology policy, the third place in the first list and the Ji Jishi have been able to release from the seven products. But you must first observe the government in the cabinet, and after the internship period expires, you can be released to do Congqipin.
From the seven officials, there are not only county orders (small county officials), but also other yamen officials at all levels. For example, the provincial yamen's capital affairs and deputy managers, the main books of local horse breeding institutions, the experience and deputy promotion of local salt yamen, and the state judgments of the prefectures directly under the central government, etc. These are all positions that have to deal with actual government affairs and exercise their ability to do things.
The champions of each imperial examination, Bangyan, Tanhua, and Shu Jishi first interned in the cabinet center, and then sent to the local area to do training from the seven grades, and then promoted to be the magistrate. The promotion route for the first few years was designed in this way.
The second list of Jinshi can be put out of the eight products.
There are more official positions in this grade, and the more famous one is the county prince. There are also provincial-level yamen governors, prefecture-level yamen experience, metropolitan officials in ethnic minority areas, and so on.
The three lists of Jinshi can be released from the eighth grade.
After such adjustments, the Jinshi will be distinguished in detail, otherwise the second and third lists are almost the same.
Yan Yuan, as the first in the second list, is currently in an internship and other vacancies. His internship unit is the household department, and when there is a vacancy in the locality, he can be released to work as a county clerk or other official position. If you do a good job, you will be promoted from seven products in three years, and you will be able to become a county magistrate in six years. It is indeed excellent in political performance, and it is possible to be the county governor in three years.
"Why don't you go to the exam?" Zhao Han asked.
The new dynasty of Datong Jishi cannot be trained as a minister, but he has the opportunity to intern in the cabinet. Every three years, there are 15 places for Jishi, and the new science and technology can go to the exam, and once they pass the exam, they will focus on cultivating cadres.
Yan Yuan replied, "The minister is waiting for His Majesty to summon him. ”
Zhao Han took out the letter: "Whose chief writer is this?" ”
Yan Ruoxuan arched his hand and said: "Xiaomin is not talented. ”
Zhao Han asked: "Your father was exiled to Heilongjiang, and you were also disqualified from the imperial examination, what complaints do you have in your heart?" ”
Yan Ruoxuan replied: "Back to Your Majesty, my father's business is illegal and has broken the rules of the court, and the people have no complaints in their hearts. But Xiaomin is enthusiastic about serving the country, although he can't be an official in the imperial examination, he also wants to contribute to the country and the people. Therefore, with this note, I beg Your Majesty to give Xiaomin another chance. ”
"You're only seventeen years old, and you can have such knowledge? It can't be Huang Zongxi who grabbed the pen for you, right? Zhao Han said with a smile.
"Never." Yan Ruoxuan hurriedly defended.
Zhao Han didn't speak again, but re-read the recital in front of him.
Yan Ruoxuan is still young after all, and as an ancient person, his vision has the limitations of the times. In Zhao Han's eyes, this recital has a greater significance, and it has involved China's future industrialization development route.
First, the traditional industrialization route of Europe and the United States, where industries are mainly concentrated in cities, absorb the population, money, and resources of the whole country, and form a location advantage of large-scale production.
The second is to take the evolutionary version of China's rural economy, where industries are distributed in large and small towns, and the layout is carried out like scattered flowers. Population, money, and resources are concentrated in cities and towns around the country, driving the development of surrounding farmers.
There are two routes, each with its own pros and cons.
The second route is not conducive to large-scale industrial production, and will only create a bunch of small enterprises in towns and towns. But in the end, the development will definitely lead to the same goal, and the towns that thrive on industry and commerce will gradually evolve into new cities.
However, there must be a premise that China will take the lead in the industrial revolution and have enough time for municipal industrial development. If Europe were to complete the Industrial Revolution first, this line would be less competitive and would force China to take the former route.
In the early days of New China's reform and opening up, that is, in the 80s, China's private industry spontaneously embarked on the second road. At that time, even inland provinces began to set up a large number of factories, which were no longer one town and one factory, and in some places even one village and one factory. However, the pressure of external competition is too great, and there is no future for doing so, so we can only shrink the loans of township enterprises and restrict the ways through which township enterprises can obtain resources, thus leading to the bankruptcy of most township enterprises.
Zhao Han's expression became kind, he smiled at the three of them, and said approvingly: "You have good ideas, you should think more and do more like this." ”
All three of them were overjoyed and thanked the emperor for his compliment.
Zhao Han has already made a choice, which is to relax the industrial land grants in the municipalities.
Emperor Zhao did not have diode thinking, and did not think that the European industrial development model must be the best, nor did he think that the local industrial model was better. Children can choose one of the two, and adults must have both.
Urban industry can be developed, and township industry can also be developed, both at the same time.
Urban industry has a better location advantage, and township industry has the blessing of small-scale peasant economy. For a long time, there will be no winner or loser, or even a winner or loser, and the two can coexist for a long time.
Of course, the diversion of population, money, and resources by township industry will certainly hinder the rapid development of urban industry, and even delay the completion of the industrial revolution. However, it is more conducive to a smooth transition, and the smallholder economy will not be quickly destroyed, which is conducive to the stability of the country and society in the long run.
Yan Ruoxuan said: "Your Majesty, Xiaomin can go to more provinces to investigate. ”
"No need," Zhao Han said, "Yan Yuan and Tang Zhen, although you missed the pavilion selection, you can be specially added as a Shu Jishi." First observe the government in the cabinet for an internship, and after the period of observing the government expires, and then go out to the local government to become an official. ”
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Yan Yuan and Tang Zhen were excited to thank him, Shu Jishi was not the point, the point was that they were remembered by the emperor.
Zhao Han looked at Yan Ruoxuan again: "You have made meritorious contributions to restore your qualifications for the imperial examination, and I hope you will contribute to the country in the future." ”
"Your Majesty Shengming!"
Yan Ruoxuan was so excited that she forgot the rules, and immediately knelt down and kowtowed.
The three of them bowed and exited the hall, their joy overflowing. As for the imperial court's wanton arrest of literati, they didn't bother to pay attention to the people who would be officials in the future, who would pay attention to the poor sour scholars among the people.
After more than half a month of arrest, the operation inside and outside Nanjing was finally stopped by the emperor. Even with their wives and children, more than 2,100 people were exiled to Heilongjiang. There are so many because there are too many "Jingpiao", and many rich literati who can't be officials come to Nanjing to mingle in the cultural circle and entertainment circle.
However, the arrest operation in Jinling Mansion is still ongoing, and the bookstores in the surrounding counties are no longer able to operate normally.
Everyone is in danger, and many people run away, and some even cross the sea to Japan and North Korea. Settling in Japan and Korea is better than exile in Heilongjiang, which is too cold during the Xiaoice period. There are also those who change their names and surnames and go to Luzon, and they can also spend money on the local owners in Luzon.
The orders of the imperial court are being carried out in various provinces one after another, and the folk scholars are being put in danger.
Zhao Han's evaluation in the minds of literati is falling off a cliff. But the effect is obvious, and it is too obvious, and the literary creation and publishing industry has suffered a very serious blow. Even some academic factions dare not talk nonsense anymore. A thriving cultural and ideological world seems to have suddenly encountered a cold winter.
For this phenomenon, Zhao Han can only let "Datong Monthly" take action.
First, the official reprinting of Chen Qu's article not only encourages and supports relevant ideas, but also shows that it will not indiscriminately attack academic discussions. As long as Tian Zheng is not criticized, as long as black and white are not reversed, the academic community can continue to argue.
Second, publish a commentator's article to explain the reasons for the construction of the prison. listed the bad deeds of the author Shen Lu, who reversed black and white in his works, smeared them indiscriminately, and also used the heroic and martyred deeds of other people's families to put gold on his family's face. He also reiterated once again that Tian Zheng should not be criticized, and Tian Zheng was the foundation of the new Datong Dynasty.
