Chapter 279: The situation in Mozhou is actually quite good
"Xia He, Dongmei, Fuquan, Fuwang, you are all here......"
Zhu Jingyuan looked at the four people in front of him and felt that his head was a little big.
Xia He and Dongmei are the maidservants in their mother's room, and Fuquan and Fuwang are the male servants in their own family:
"Is it true that my father and mother want to set an example by confiscating their servants and sending them to emigrate?"
Fuquan and Fuwang didn't dare to talk nonsense, Liang Yunying's two maidservants were very familiar with Zhu Jingyuan, Dongmei smiled and nodded and said:
"Your Royal Highness, Your Majesty and Niangniang mean this, Niangniang also said, anyway, the two of us brought the maids of the family over, and we also served as envoys for Your Highness, and we didn't lose at all."
Zhu Jingyuan was speechless in his heart, his parents didn't think it was a loss, and Dongmei's maidservants themselves definitely didn't feel a loss.
As a young maid in the lady's room, the best outcome is not to serve the mistress for the rest of her life.
Instead, she became a concubine when the lord took over the house, or gave it to the son-in-law of the family as a girl in the house, and finally became the concubine of the son-in-law......
If the relationship between the lord and the son is not very good, or the son is not very favored, then it must be better to follow the master.
But Zhu Jingyuan is the heart and soul of his parents, so it must be better to follow this younger son.
What's more, Zhu Jingyuan's identity as a prince is so special, he is now the richest vassal king and prince in the Ming Dynasty.
If you can be the same as Chunxiang and Qiuyue, you can be accepted by His Royal Highness in the future, then you will accumulate virtue in your previous life.
will soon become the richest talent of the Great Food Domain, Jieyu and other women, and there will be a chance to become a talented person in the Ming Dynasty in the future.
Chunxiang and Qiuyue in Zhu Jingyuan's room were originally the mansions that entered with Xia He and Dong Mei.
After the four of them were educated and trained, Xia He and Dong Mei stayed with Liang Yunying.
Chunxiang and Qiuyue went directly into Zhu Jingyuan's room.
Xia He and Dongmei have actually been quite regretful all along, but they just don't dare to show it.
Now inexplicably, they were suddenly given to Zhu Jingyuan together, which is a joy for the two maids.
Fuwang and Fuquan are two brothers, and their emotions are slightly different from Xia He's, but they are also very happy.
The two of them, as male servants, had no way to follow up on the "palace" after Zhu Jianyan moved into the palace.
The final result is basically given to the adult prince, or to the emperor to take care of the palace before ascending the throne.
Although the treatment and conditions should be good, relatively speaking, following Zhu Jingyuan is obviously the best result.
The reason is very simple, Zhu Jingyuan is the most favored, and he is the richest and most powerful.
"You go and rest first, Xia He, Dong Mei, you follow Chunxiang, Fuquan and your two brothers go to Guan Zhenfu, and I will talk to you again tomorrow."
Zhu Jingyuan ordered people to take the two servants who reported to rest, and opened the handwritten letters from their parents that they had brought with them.
Then Zhu Jingyuan's head was even bigger.
Didn't his parents send the two maidservants, Xia He and Dong Mei, and the two male servants of Fuquan and Fuwang.
Instead, a large group of similar people were sent.
Zhu Jingyuan knew that his father had sent most of the servants in the family.
Fuquan and Fuwang are responsible for delivering letters, and Xia He and Dongmei are familiar with themselves, and they must help their mother pass the word.
Others are not qualified to come and see them directly.
Only his brother's was put inside, and a very small number of people who were already serving their brother were accepted as concubines.
Most of the other male and female servants were sent over.
And they are still not all.
They were only sent by their own parents, and there were other people who sent them.
Most of the slave immigrants in this first ship were officials who took the initiative to set an example, and the princes and nobles were forced by the emperor to set an example and confiscate slaves from their respective homes.
The situation is the same as in his own family, except for a very small number of women who were urgently accepted as concubines, the others were sent in batches.
In order to get them to cooperate, his father also instructed the household department to specifically remove the regulations.
As an example, those who take the initiative to surrender slaves and switch to hired laborers have additional concubines for the children of the family.
The more you pay, the more concubines you can take.
Of course, this place can first be chosen from among one's own servants.
But it can only be the five ethnic groups of Korean maids, Japanese women, South Vietnamese, Siam, and Burma.
If you don't have the slaves of these five clans, but you pay a large number of slaves of other clans, you can apply to the imperial court to transfer the women of the five clans paid by other families as concubines.
The children born to the women of the five clans can directly obtain the status of the Ming people, but they are not eligible to inherit the family title.
This is obviously a huge exception.
Paying slaves for concubines has a huge attraction for many people who are not qualified to take concubines.
It is also obvious that a group of newborns with the identity of the Ming people will be directly added.
In Zhu Jingyuan's opinion, this is completely treating these servants as objects, and they can still fucking play with replacement.
This was taken for granted by the indigenous elites.
That's what my dad did...... In Zhu Jingyuan's opinion, it is just an evaluation, too simple and crude.
But the effect is also obvious.
As long as his policies can be truly and completely implemented, it will be more secure than the abolition of slavery that he supports.
The fundamental purpose of supporting the abolition of slavery is certainly not to give freedom out of pity for slaves.
I'm just taking pictures of Americaka's ethnic problems in my previous life.,And try to eliminate the soil of this problem in advance.。
All the lands in the cultural circle of the Great Ming Dynasty were completely subsumed into the Ming Dynasty as the core of the country.
Zhu Jingyuan has the experience of later generations, and knows that with the continuous advancement of industrialization, the degree of civilization and civilization of ordinary people in society will continue to rise, and the moral level will continue to rise.
In addition, industrial development requires workers, and stakeholders may take advantage of or even take the initiative to promote this trend, which in turn forces the imperial court to abolish slavery from the bottom up, turning the local slaves of the Ming Dynasty into free men.
But by that time, the emancipated slaves of various ethnic groups may have formed their own ethnic cognition, and at the same time carry the common memory of the ethnic groups that they once used to be slaves, and even their ancestors were sold into the Ming Dynasty as slaves.
Coupled with the moral level of ordinary people in the Ming Dynasty, after entering the civilized society, they may have pity and even guilt for the former slaves, and then accommodate the descendants of the liberated slaves in society and even policies.
In this way, these slaves and their descendants will always retain their own ethnic cognition, constantly seek benefits and refuse to fully integrate into the Ming Dynasty, and then will become the unstable factor and development burden of the Ming Dynasty.
The life of the Korean maid is also the life, and the life of the woman is also the life......
This is all the result that Zhu Jingyuan's previous life has shown in the United States, and of course we have to find a way to prevent it.
Zhu Jingyuan's plan was to abolish slavery before the moral level of ordinary people entered civilized society, before the slaves' self-ethnic recognition was established and their memories were formed, and their entire ethnic group was completely absorbed into the scope of the Ming people, so as to avoid this outcome.
And his father's choice is to directly drive these people out and move to Mozhou and Yinzhou.
According to other sources, his father is promoting a complete cage change around the Ming Dynasty.
All the indigenous people who gave birth to the Ho, Korean, South Vietnamese, Siamese, and Burmese people were completely relocated.
At the same time, he also had to melt it in Mozhou and Yinzhou to become another mixed Ming cultural group.
This is a civilized version of what the Ansar bandits did in Northern Yinzhou, and what they are preparing to do.
The final result should be more thorough, and there is a high probability that it will not leave much trouble.
It's just that the amount of work and difficulty are also relatively high.
After reading the letter and considering the differences between his father and his own plan, Zhu Jingyuan began to worry about the placement of this group of people.
Many of these slaves once had a very high standard of living, and their original status was not comparable to that of ordinary people.
In particular, some of them were servants of the royal family and even the royal family.
It was impossible for Zhu Jingyuan to take everyone as his slaves, and most of them must have been sent to the factory as workers.
Can these people work honestly?
It's time to go to Yinzhou after the New Year, and now I'll give myself a whole play.
"Wait, huh...... The situation in Yinzhou may be more complicated, and some Yinzhou on the side of Mozhou may have ......"
After worrying for a while, Zhu Jingyuan suddenly reacted:
"Even if I go to Mozhou, I have to deal with similar things, these people are in their reputation for abolition of slaves, and they don't dare to bring their slaves to Mozhou, so they can only go to Yinzhou to use it."
Zhu Jingyuan also knew that there were actually many kinds of slaves.
Dongmei and Fuquan are the living slaves of the family.
There were also slave laborers working in factories, and serfs working on farms.
There were also slaves for the entertainment of the rich and noble.
At the same time, there may be people who are engaged in slavery reproduction among all kinds of slaves.
South Carolina and North Carolina in Yinzhou were originally colonies.
But the composition of the North and the South is very different, and the North is a slave farm that is used for serious operations.
In the south, however, the slavery estates used by the English aristocracy for entertainment and vacation, and the slaves here were used for entertainment.
Entertainment on all levels.
The current king of England, the third son of George III and later William IV, specially engaged in slave manors in Yinzhou.
In the eyes of North Carolina, the aristocratic lords of South Carolina were a complete waste of the means of production.
The two sides couldn't get along at all, so they split up later.
This kind of thing is done by the Americans in Yinzhou, and by the merchants of the Ming Dynasty.
At the same time, the suppression of bandits in Nanyinzhou continued, and the Napoleonic Wars had reached a critical juncture.
Exploration in Panama also continues, as does large-scale official resettlement construction.
The situation on Mo Zhou's side is relatively simple, Yin Zhou is the real group of demons dancing.
Compared with the complex situation in Yinzhou, the Ming and Taixi countries on the Mozhou side were in charge of each other, and the process of exploring and conquering the natives and building colonies from the east and west sides inwards could even be called harmonious.
Even, although he is now in Mozhou, he is actually separated from the colonies of the Taixi countries on the entire continent, and it is basically impossible to have direct contact.
Between Yinzhou and the colonies of the Taixi countries in the western part of Mozhou, there is only a not particularly wide Atlantic Ocean.
There are mature traditional routes between the two sides, and the trade and exchanges between the two sides have never been cut off, and they are quite close.
So when he arrived in Yinzhou, he would have to deal with the colonies of the Taixi countries in Mozhou.
Zhu Jingyuan put down his parents' letters, and after thinking about it for a long time, he asked people to call Lin Zexu and Niu Jian.
Zhu Jingyuan briefly talked about the situation of this ship of immigrants, and then continued to explain his thoughts:
"We're all going to leave here in the next year, and we can't leave a mess here, so we have to come up with an arrangement.
"My current vision is to deal with it in a categorical way.
"The resettlement programs that we are able to provide are divided into several relatively clear categories.
"Workers, peasants, soldiers, wives and concubines, good women.
"It was allowed to choose for itself, and then dispersed and dispersed to various sites.
"The details haven't been thought out a lot, so the two gentlemen can take a closer look at them together."
Lin Zexu listened and said with some uncertainty:
"Your Highness means to give him all freedom?"
Zhu Jingyuan nodded directly:
"Yes."
Lin Zexu immediately asked:
"Among these people, many of them come from high-ranking families, and most of them will not be satisfied with the five identities.
"If they are resentful, they may deliberately disobey discipline and even sabotage production, so they have to be prevented."
Zhu Jingyuan said directly:
"Those who do not obey the discipline can be dealt with according to the regulations.
"But one can be two can not be three, and if you disobey the discipline three times, you will be punished as a slave.
"Those who destroy the tools and materials of production shall be directly confiscated as slaves.
"Men were converted to forced slave labor, and most of the women were converted to forced slave labor, and a small number were transferred to the Department of Religious Workshops.
"Forced slavery is under the direct jurisdiction of the royal government, and those who disobey and destroy it may be punished by military corporal punishment or, in serious cases, by death."
Lin Zexu began to think, and Niu Jian said with some hesitation:
"Your Highness, is your plan a little ...... according to your own words? Is it simple and crude? ”
Zhu Jingyuan nodded lightly and said:
"Yes, it's a bit simple and crude, but in this case, it has to be simple and rude.
"I think that the vast majority of slaves should be willing to live a normal life here after they are free.
"Our living conditions here are actually very good, and the future is very promising.
In this case, there should be only a very small number of people who still harbor resentment and dissatisfaction.
"And some of these people may be more brainless, and some may choose to endure and destroy.
"Our officials, scribes, shopkeepers, and managers can't afford to waste too much time on them.
"If they do die, then let them go back to be the lowest slaves, and use them well in death.
"It's best to deal with this kind of thing a few times before we leave, and set a precedent for the successors to take over."
Niu Jian and Lin Zexu felt that Zhu Jingyuan was more thoughtful, and they both agreed with Zhu Jingyuan's plan.
So the three of them continued to discuss the details, and Zhu Jingyuan explained his idea as clearly as possible.
Then let the two of them sort out and form a standard, and at the same time arrange for someone to implement it as soon as possible.
