The treasurer of the overseas imperial estate of the Ming Dynasty is equivalent to the governor of the colony.

It's just that he has no official status, and only obeys the orders of the emperor and the consortium, not the imperial court.

Therefore, in this negotiation, all the official personnel related to the negotiation are in charge or coordinated by the Shaoqing of Honglu Temple.

All unofficial activities, all the places necessary for personnel to live and negotiate, and all services are in charge of Zhu Guangrui, the treasurer of Haijiao Huangzhuang.

Zhu Jingyuan had breakfast in the palace and rested for a while, and Shen Fu, the Shaoqing of Honglu Temple, came to visit with Zhu Guangrui.

Zhu Guangrui, who was fifty-six years old and had gray hair, saw Zhu Jingyuan bow his hand:

"Nephew Guangrui has seen Uncle Wang......

Zhu Jingyuan, who is from modern times, was called an uncle by an old man, and was obviously taken aback, but he quickly reacted:

"Oh...... Yes, I remember, shopkeeper...... Guangrui is also a clan."

Zhu Guangrui said with a smile:

"The nephew is a member of the Zhou family, and his lineage is "Guang", and he is the same generation as the "Di" generation of the Chengzu lineage."

Zhu Jingyuan had read Zhu Guangrui's information, and now when he heard the other party mention it, his mind immediately remembered that information.

Zhu Guangrui is the descendant of Zhu Yuanzhang's fifth son, Zhu Hu, the king of Zhou, and the eighteenth generation grandson of Zhu Hu, and is now a very remote clan.

In addition, there are many descendants of the Zhou Palace, which is the crown of all the Ming Dynasty palaces.

From the beginning of the Ming Dynasty to the end of Chongzhen, there were a total of twelve Zhou kings after Zhu Hu, but some of them were brothers and brothers twice, so they were actually only passed down for ten generations.

However, the county king has a total of seventy-six, so on average, each generation of King Zhou is a big family of eight brothers, and there are countless generals and lieutenants under the county king.

Therefore, the ordinary clan of the Zhou Wangfu feels more remote.

When Zhu Guangrui's ancestor was in the year of Chongzhen, he was already a lieutenant of Fengguo, who was already a distant branch and had reached the lowest title.

After the Renwu Dynasty, the nobles of the clan had to be assessed for the lord, and there was a generation of ancestors in front of Zhu Guangrui who did not give strength, and the title was directly gone.

However, after Renwu, all clans can enjoy "compulsory education" and have a channel for advancement.

Zhu Guangrui himself also worked hard, all the way to the special university of the clan, graduated into the Huangzhuang system, and worked all the way to the big treasurer of the overseas Huangzhuang, and his actual status is equivalent to that of the governor.

Zhu Guangrui is fifty-six years old this year, but he is indeed a generation lower than Zhu Jingyuan, so he is directly called Uncle Wang when he meets.

After saying hello, Zhu Guangrui was still very enthusiastic and said with a smile:

"Uncle doesn't have to see him here, but if you need it, just tell your nephew and keep it in order for you."

Zhu Jingyuan could only smile and agree.

Shen Fu waited for Zhu Jingyuan and Zhu Guangrui to talk about their relatives before he opened his mouth to report the matter:

"Your Highness, representatives of the feudal states and imperial estates from all over the country have arrived, ready to meet the two princes of the imperial court.

"It's not a particularly formal etiquette, it's just a simple meeting, is it convenient for Your Highness today?"

Zhu Jingyuan directly agreed:

"It's convenient for me, there are no other arrangements now, it's okay this morning or afternoon, you go and ask Uncle Nine if he has time."

Shen Fu bowed his head lightly, and immediately asked people to make arrangements, and finally set the time at ten o'clock in the morning.

Zhu Jingyuan waited for almost the time, took the carriage prepared by Zhu Guangrui, and went to the side hall in the palace, which is also called Wenhua Palace.

The personnel of Haijiao Huangzhuang usually have to clean and maintain the palace buildings, and these days they have specially focused on cleaning the palaces that may be used, and according to the situation, under the throne of the Wenhua Palace, two chairs have been added to sit on the chairs facing north and south.

Although Shen Fu said that it was not particularly formal, the representatives of the feudal kingdom and the imperial village did not dare to slack off, and they all went to the Wenhua Hall of the palace in advance to wait for the two princes.

At ten o'clock in the morning, the two princes, Zhu Jingyuan and Zhu Jianfeng, obviously kept a certain distance and walked into the Wenhua Hall side by side.

The representatives of the feudal kingdom and the imperial estate immediately bowed together.

The two princes sat down on their chairs under the throne, and the representatives of the surrounding feudal states and imperial estates took their seats one after another, and then began to introduce themselves in turn.

Zhu Jingyuan finally had the opportunity to meet all the people from the overseas territories of the Ming Dynasty at the same time, and listen to the names of all the feudal states and imperial villages at the same time.

Northeast Chinese Domains: Ryukyu Kingdom, Korea Domain, Xianbei Domain, Japan Domain.

The southern feudal kingdoms of Shenzhou: Annam, Nanzhang, Chenla, Burma, Siam, and Malacca.

The eastern vassals of the South Sea Islands: Luzon, Medan, Java, Old Port, and Borneo.

The western vassals of the South Sea Islands: Makassar (Sulawesi), Merok (Maru Valley, also known as the Spice Islands), Timor (Timor and surrounding islands), Solomon (Solomon Islands and Bismarck).

The two vassals of the Ming Ocean: Yingzhou (Hawaiian Islands and surrounding islands) and Fiji (Fiji, Samoa, Tonga, Vanuatu, New Caledonia and other South Pacific islands).

Tianzhu and the Great Eclipse Domains: Ceylon, the Six Kingdoms of Tianzhu, and the Three Kingdoms of Great Eclipse.

The Mexican Domains: Jizhou (Djibouti), East Mexico (East Africa), Madagascar, South Mexico (southeast Africa).

The four feudal states of Northern Yinzhou (western United States, western Canada, Araga, etc.).

The Seven Domains of Tiannan (mainland Australia).

A total of sixty-four feudal states.

Counting the previously withdrawn Xihai Kingdom and the five counties in the southwest of the Persian Gulf, the Ming Dynasty originally had seventy vassal states.

The current division of these feudal states does not seem very reasonable.

The Japanese archipelago has a total area of 370,000 square kilometers and is divided into four feudal states, each with more than 90,000 square kilometers.

The area of Northern Yinzhou, with a total area of more than 5 million square kilometers, was also divided into four feudal states, each of which was more than one million square kilometers.

Due to the large population of the Japanese archipelago and its proximity to the mainland, it was necessary to divide it into thin layers in order to facilitate rule and control.

The colony of North Yinzhou was very small in size and very sparse in population at the beginning of the development, and there were potential competitors in the key.

Therefore, the vassal state should be larger, and it will be able to expand enough to defend against possible enemies.

The situation in the other vassal states varies, but most of them fall somewhere in between.

Most of the vassal kings of these vassal states were descendants of Emperor Sejo and his brothers, and a small number of vassal kings were descendants of heroes when Sejo reestablished the Ming Dynasty.

Prior to this year, all vassal states were effectively vassals of the Ming Dynasty and were directly or indirectly governed by the Ming court.

It was a vassal state in the modern sense, not a so-called tributary trading state in the past.

Now, due to Zhu Jingyuan's vassal reform plan, some of these vassal states have now existed in name only.

More vassal states have also determined a "timetable for their existence in name only", waiting to be included in the Ming Dynasty.

Except for a few vassal states in Northern Yinzhou, the colonial territorial disputes with Britain, France, and Spain really need to be discussed at the meeting, and the other vassal states are basically here to make up the numbers.

After the reform of the feudal state, the officials were already directly subordinate to the imperial court, and now they are only nominal feudal officials.

I don't know if it was unintentional or artificial, but now the vast majority of the people of the feudal kingdom already know how the final decision was made after decades of efforts to withdraw the feudal domain.

It was directly promoted by the negotiator this time, Zhu Jingyuan, the prince of Dashi.

It was he who forced the old gentlemen of the imperial court to accept it in the name of cooperating with the negotiations.

It was he who demanded that the emperor open up the six major industries in exchange for the acceptance of the decision by the local magnates and elites.

In other words, it was Prince Dashi who directly changed his fate and changed himself from a vassal courtier to a Ming official.

Or there is a high probability that he will be able to become a Ming official in the future.

This is placed in the traditional oriental cultural atmosphere, which is almost the effect of grace and reconstruction.

Therefore, when the representatives from the vassal kingdom came to see Zhu Jingyuan, they were all quite excited and very solemn.

introduced to the two princes, and when they solemnly saluted again, they were basically towards Zhu Jingyuan.

Whether it is etiquette or words, it is particularly sincere.

As for the prince Zhu Jianfeng, that is normal court etiquette, and what he says is a standard honorific.

After saluting, he basically paid attention to Zhu Jingyuan's side, waiting for Zhu Jingyuan to speak.

Of course, Zhu Jianfeng felt this atmosphere, but he didn't care about it at all, and sat on the chair very casually to watch the excitement.

What is more special are the two feudal kingdoms in the Oshoku region.

The Two Rivers State in the Two Rivers Valley was established on the land occupied in the course of this great war.

For the time being, there is a vassal kingdom without a vassal king, and there are even no courtiers, and there may never be a vassal king and courtiers in the future.

The representatives who came now were full of local garrisons, so they didn't have any feelings for Zhu Jingyuan.

Then there is Zhu Jingyuan's big food country.

The Great Food Kingdom was formed by the merger of the southwestern states of the Persian Gulf, and the vassals of the vassal states were also cobbled together from the original vassal states.

Most of the courtiers of the original vassal kingdom have returned or are returning to the Ming Dynasty.

Some continued to follow the prince of the withdrawal of the feudal domain as a staff member, and some went to the ministry as a scholar to register their names, preparing to re-enter the official career in the Ming Dynasty.

More simply quit officialdom and went to other regions to make a living for the people.

Now the courtiers of the Great Food Country are theoretically willing to stay, but in fact they are likely to be the "wronged seeds" of various royal palaces.

Now it looks like it's all bitter.

Zhu Jingyuan looked at his theoretical history of the palace, a thin middle-aged official in his thirties, and felt that he could see the word "bitter" from his face.

However, this mood can also be understood, in the eyes of ordinary people in the Ming Dynasty and even the whole world, the land in the southwest corner of the Persian Gulf is still sand except for sand.

Being a passive official in that kind of place, being an official of a vassal state under the vassal king who pushed for the abolition of the feudal domain, and being a courtier who almost never sees the vassal king, this feeling is something that no other official can ever experience.

I have absolutely no idea what the future holds.

Zhu Jingyuan plans to find an opportunity to have a good chat with the other party after meeting today.

My mother was already preparing personnel and technology, and when the peace talks were over, she would go to dig for black gold (oil).

When the time comes, keep each other's music blossoming.

The other party will understand that the current suffering is worth it.

After the representatives of the feudal kingdoms were introduced, the personnel of each imperial village began to appear in order.

Huangzhuang around Shenzhou: South Old Port, West Java, Lion City, Bangkok, North Borneo, East Bengal, Andaman, Sulu (Palawan), Ambuna (Natuna Islands).

Ocean Imperial Village: Western Cape (Cape of Good Hope), Rain Island (Vancouver Island), Jinshan (San Francisco), Baiyun Islands (New Zealand), Nantianfu (Tasmania).

Finally, there are the sixteen imperial villages of the New Tianfu in Nanyinzhou.

The Ming Dynasty did not have a vassal state in Nanyinzhou, and the land of more than 5 million square kilometers was divided into 16 imperial villages of different sizes.

This point is most likely a directive left by Emperor Sejo.

Because Zhu Jingyuan knew that among the overseas lands occupied by the Ming Dynasty now, Nanyinzhou was almost the best piece of land.

The area probably included what would later be Chile, Argentina, Paraguay, Uruguay, Bolivia, and southern Brazil.

Because the whole looks like an inverted triangle on the map, it is collectively referred to as the "Southern Cone" in modern times.

In the Ming Dynasty, it is called "Xintianfu", and this name has two meanings, first the new country of Tianfu, and then the "Xintianfu" mansion similar to Yingtianfu, Shuntianfu, Chengtianfu, etc.

There is fertile black soil here, and the area of cultivated land that can be developed is very vast, probably more than the entire Ming Dynasty.

In terms of resources, there is everything except a slight shortage of coal, and the opposite Antarctic Peninsula is also rich in resources.

In addition to the absence of coal mines, the natural conditions are no worse than those in North America, and there is no cold wave that runs through the whole territory of North America.

If it had been run by a middle-level monarch in China in the classical era, a large empire would have developed here.

In the early industrial era, it may have been difficult to develop because of the lack of coal mines.

But you can also make a fortune by selling mines, and there is absolutely no shortage of food.

After the second industrial revolution, as long as you manage it well, you will definitely be able to take off.

It's just that in real history, this land has been abandoned by Latin American countries.

The biggest disadvantage of the Southern Cone is that it is located in the Southern Hemisphere, and it is still the southernmost tip of the New World far from the mainland islands.

Far away from other major birthplaces of human civilization and away from major industrially developed countries.

It is more isolated than the United States in North America.

Zhu Jingyuan felt that the meaning of the name Xintianfu might be that Emperor Shizu was preparing to use it as a retreat for the Zhu Ming royal family.

If you are killed in the local area, you will run away to "New Tianfu" to continue your life.

Zhu Jingyuan felt that this plan could be considered.

The second industrial revolution has just begun, and it is time to formulate a new Tianfu development plan.
