The rainy season is coming.

Zhao Kuangbiao stood on the balcony of the palace, observing the temple in the distance with a clairvoyant mirror.

The Buri Ha Ding Shivara Temple, which means "Great Lord", is used to worship Shiva. There is a huge pagoda in the temple with a height of 63 41 meters, which is the third tallest building in the whole of India.

Both the temple hall and the temple tower are built of large blocks of granite without the use of any binders. Over the centuries, there have been many earthquakes, not only did not collapse, but even in the walls

No obvious cracks could be found. The top of the pagoda is carved out of two complete pieces of granite, each weighing 30 tons, and it is hard to imagine how it was transported in the first place. VII 9

Due to the open square inside the temple, it was historically requisitioned as a barracks by the British army, and it was used for more than thirty years before it was returned to the king of Tanger.

After retrieving the temple, King Sephogius II immediately cleansed the temple of dirt and held a grand ceremony.

At that time, the British Viscount of Valencia happened to visit Centro and was invited by the king to participate in the celebration.

The Viscount of Valencia, who was a friend of the king, expressed his doubts in his notes: "This king, forced into exile since childhood, was raised by English missionaries. He is familiar with Western literature,

He is fluent in various European Chinese languages, and has outstanding talents in philosophy, poetry, mathematics and dance. If he were in Europe, he would have been a good scholar, how could he have become a superstition in India

What about people?

Viscount Valencia, from this, concluded: this obscurantist land conquered by civilization has never given birth to any flower of civilization worthy of careful study and praise! Jen 2]

Zhao Kuangbiao put down the clairing mirror and said: "The Chola Dynasty hundreds of years ago did have some strength, not only digging irrigation canals along the river, but also building such a majestic temple tower."

Wang Chongxi, who was standing next to him, said:

"It was like that hundreds of years ago, it's still going back hundreds of years, and it's even going backwards. I heard that there are several irrigation canals along the banks of the river

It hasn't been repaired in a hundred years. Only when there is serious damage will the village community repair its own section. Even if a small section of irrigation canal is repaired, it can be completed in two or three months, but it will be delayed

Several years. ”5 1

Zhao Kuangbiao said: "I think it is because of the caste system, the nobles of the various villages do not regard the land as private property, but only help the king to manage it, and their minds are used to enrich themselves

Sac. And the people are even more persistent, and no one is willing to repair the things of the government.

"But during the Chola Dynasty, it was also a caste system, and the irrigation canal was built at that time." Marley said.

Wang Chongxi said: "It's because the court has no heart, anyway, life is passable, so it's too lazy to build water conservancy." In fact, the village community under the well field system is very easy to levy and issue conscription

You don't need to be paid, just take out some food. Jen 2]

Zhao Kuangbiao nodded and said, "Indeed."

The dilapidated water conservancy facilities here in Tanjore will have to wait until the remnants of the more than 1,000 Green Sect soldiers have seized power and established the country before they can be repaired in another time and space. Regardless of whether you are high or low,

Entire villages were reduced to slavery, and then they were whipped to fix the water conservancy.

Guan Xian said:. It will rain in a few days, and Tamil officials say that after the first light rain, it is time to plant summer rice and wait for the rainy season to come. When it comes to the real rainy season, unless it's big

The water floods the farmland, otherwise there will be no topdressing during the heading period. It's easy to grow rice here, not as tiring as the Celestial Empire.

Wang Chongxi said: "So, the farmers here are too idle. Moreover, during the slack period, the diligent can only do some short-term work, and the lazy lie at home every day and meet the sun

Come out and lie down. Here a peasant is a peasant and cannot do carpentry work because carpentry is another small caste profession. ”

Ma Li said with a smile: "If there are more and more Han people in the future, and the acres of land are not enough, will the Han farmers become carpenters and bricklayers?" If you are a carpenter, a bricklayer, these two castes

On the books, will they feel that the Han people have robbed them of their jobs?

"Definitely," Zhao Kuangbiao nodded, "as there are more and more Han people, the contradictions will inevitably intensify at that time, and maybe the natives will unite to rebel." ”

Wang Chongxi said: "Your Highness, the minister has a way."

"Tell me about it." Zhao Kuangbiao said.

Wang Chongxi said: "A little bit of steady expansion. The expansion is too fast, and the Han people have all become big landlords, and I am afraid that they will have no heart. The expansion is too slow, and the Han people at the bottom will

If there is resentment, it will also intensify the conflict with the natives. Slowly expanded, leaving hope for the Han people at the bottom, and letting the Han people at the bottom fight with the natives, but they did not break away from the control of the imperial court. follow

With the development of land, with the increase of Han people, the conflict between the Han people and the indigenous people intensified for a long time. ”

Zhao Kuangbiao said with a smile: "It's just cooking Xiaoxian, learn to hold the fire well." 1

He had already sent a ship back to bring the princess of Jin from Nanjing.

Because they live in school all the year round, the princess and the side concubine do not have many children, and they only have one son and one daughter at present. This twin sons and daughters will stay in Nanjing for the time being, at least after graduating from middle school, accept

Enough education to come to India. Jen 4

In addition, the eight rows of Yao, where my grandfather was, visited him five times when he went south.

Grandpa's spirit is very good, and he promised to help Zhao Kuangbiao recruit people, and the Yao people and the local Han people, who are willing to go to sea, will go to the government to register, and this time they will also collectively take a boat to Taiwu City. or

There are not one or two thousand, but a few hundred people should be able to make it up, and there are more mountainous areas over there in Bijing.

1]

There were too few Han people under Zhao Kuangbiao's command, and there were more than 2,000 civil officials, military generals, technicians, infantry, cavalry, and seas. Some will pick up family members, but there are also large ones

Some are wives and children, and parents and brothers are rarely willing to go to sea.

Anyway, when this batch of ships comes back, it will be good if the number of Han people can reach 4,000.

This is unprecedented in India, take the founding emperor of the Mughals. This man was beaten into a dog in Central Asia, and came to India with more than a thousand remnants of soldiers, and subdued him halfway

The Fuhan people, with a full fight, will not exceed 3000 troops. Jen 1]

The 3,000 army was the original family of the Mughal Empire, and it also belonged to different races. They came to India and had to integrate into caste society and then recruit local troops

team to expand.

And the Portuguese, the Dutch, the French, the British, came to colonize India and that's it. After hundreds of years of development of colonial ports, Europeans have multiplied two or three thousand at most.

And most of them are also of mixed blood.

In comparison, Zhao Kuangbiao's immigration speed is completely unreasonable, and he directly brought 00 Han people in a year. Jen 11

As Zhao Kuangbiao gained a firm foothold in Taiwu City, more and more Chinese merchants would come to trade in the future. He had already contacted the coastal merchants and asked them to help deliver the news and pick up people

, all the way to the ferry ticket and food can be reimbursed.

If you can read and write, you can be an official, and when you come, you can divide the field, presumably the mountain people and the people can't resist the temptation.

Zhao Kuangbiao didn't think too much, there are more than 100 new immigrants every year, and he is already very content, after all, Nanyang is also absorbing immigrants. VII 8

And those merchants, if the trade is stable, will also open a trading company in Taiwu City, leaving branch offices and men to buy cotton and other goods from the Jin Kingdom, and at the same time deal with the Dutch

Shipment issues.

While immigrating and giving birth, within 20 years, Zhao Kuangbiao hopes to have 20,000 Han people. Jen 3]

If the population is larger, it is naturally the best.

One day when Hermes-Epitek is full of 10,000, Zhao Kuangbiao will expand and defeat the Madurai country next door! Jen 20]

"Dada-da-da!" 01 ]

There was a sound of horses' hooves, but it was Sun Kewang, who led the army to collect taxes by force, and returned.

In the villages near the river, the infantry could go to collect taxes. Farther away, cavalry must be used, and this year it must be beaten, otherwise the local nobles will not be honest in paying the agricultural tax.

"Your Highness, General Sun asks to see you!"

"Bring him in."

Sun Kewang went out to sweep around, and killed more than ten nobles, he was in high spirits at this time, and he had already ushered in the second spring of his life. Jen 3]

"The last general will see His Highness!" Sun Kewang saluted.

Zhao Kuangbiao asked: "But there are still people who are not convinced by the king?"

"Kill more than ten people, let the cavalry carry their heads, and go around the villages, and those nobles will be honest," Sun Kewang suddenly whispered, "Your Highness, there are near Kanmei City

Gold mines, learn to hold in the hands of a few Kshatriya nobles!"

Kanmei City was changed by Zhao Kuangbiao to the ministers, and its original name was Ali Kameidu, which is the second largest city in the country. It is located not far from the border between Jin and Jinji, by the sea, and is also one

port cities, where the lords were nominally obedient, but had a self-respecting army and were unwilling to pay commercial taxes.

The whole of South India is the gold mining region of the Indian subcontinent.

But Zhao Kuangbiao's Jin Kingdom has only one big gold mine, which is not far from Kanmei City. The rest are small and scattered mines, and they can't be mined much in a year, so there's no need to do that

Gold is on the move.

The neighbor to the northwest, Mysore, has four large gold mines!

Wang Chongxi said: "Kanmei City is the second largest city, and the city lord is not very obedient, and sooner or later he will have to occupy it. Now there is a gold mine, and it is even more necessary to take it down. But not at the moment

In a hurry, we have too few Hermes-Epitek, and we have not completely stabilized the place. ”

Guan Xian said: "The top priority is to wait for the rainy season to pass and renovate the irrigation canals along the river. Even if you want to fight Camme City, you will have to wait until next year to send troops, and you have to find one

A suitable excuse to send troops. ”

"The excuse for sending troops is ready-made, and the city of Camme does not obey the king's orders and is unwilling to pay the city's commercial taxes." Marley said.

Zhao Kuangbiao asked: "How many troops are there in and around Kanmei City?"

Sun Kewang said: "I have inquired clearly, there are only a few hundred soldiers in the city. Once you want to fight, you must be fast, and you can't let the nobles go to the village community to gather troops. Otherwise, it's not a hundred

people, but to fight thousands of people. The aristocracy of the city of Camme was very influential, and the school controlled at least one-fifth of the villages in the country. ”

Zhao Kuangbiao nodded and said: "If you send troops, take a boat to go over and surround the city, so as not to give the enemy a chance to gather troops in the countryside." Even if they can gather troops, they will not be allowed to enter the city

Fighting in the field, no matter how many enemies there are, they are not afraid. ”

Zhao Kuangbiao is now not only not enough Han people, but also Han officials.

Even many of the official positions in the city were held by Tamil nobles. A large number of soldiers were also literate, but the army could not be dispersed, - half stationed in the city, the other half thrown to manage

Licun Society. It would be good to wait for next year, as long as you are literate, you can become an official, and the number of Han officials will gradually increase, and the national documents will be changed to Chinese character writing.

Now there is no way, I can only work in a bilingual office, otherwise the Tamil official history in the city will not be understood. Jen 4
