Zhu Jingyuan didn't know what the British were planning, but he just felt that now was not the time to talk to the British about the Nantianzhu deal.

Da Ming is not uninterested in Nan Tianzhu.

Only by integrating Nan Tianzhu can we truly and completely pull out all the external forces of the small Western Ocean.

The resources and land of the Tianzhu area are also favored by the Ming people.

But this interest is not urgent, first of all, because the Ming already have enough colonies in Yinzhou and Mozhou.

At the same time, this land is already a tasteless place for Britain to eat, and it is a pity to abandon it.

Completely surrounded by the Ming Dynasty, he didn't dare to develop it with all his strength if he kept it, and he was reluctant to throw it away.

Zhu Jingyuan fully understands this situation, so he will not pay too high a price to exchange for Nan Tianzhu.

At the beginning of the peace talks, he directly refused to talk about the Nan Tianzhu deal.

After the armistice, the British decided to abandon the land of Nantianzhu, so they began to transport people and supplies from Nantianzhu.

They are obviously preparing to completely empty Nan Tianzhu, and then they can abandon it.

All the valuable things in Nantianzhu have been taken away, and the remaining population is basically old, weak, sick and disabled, and the whole area is a huge mess.

But even so, now the psychological price of the British getting rid of Nantianzhu has not really fallen to the lowest freezing point.

In the process of preparing to abandon Nan Tianzhu, the "value" of Nan Tianzhu will continue to decrease.

Once all the preparations are made, the actual "value" will fall to freezing point.

But "value" is not the same as "price".

It has lost its value in itself, and keeping it becomes a burden.

At the same time, if there is no next company to take over for a long time, the sales "price" will continue to fall, and eventually break through the lower limit of value.

Da Ming can continue to wait for this situation to really appear.

Because the only person who can take over Nan Tianzhu is Daming, and no other country has the courage to meddle in this matter.

Therefore, what Zhu Jingyuan is ready to do is to continue to forgive the British for a few years or even ten or twenty years.

In the end, it should be possible to get the land in a near-free way.

After Zhu Jingyuan talked to Charlotte, he basically left it behind, because it was a long time later.

Charlotte stayed in the Lion City and spent the New Year with Zhu Jingyuan's family for six years of good health.

After the first lunar month, Charlotte was very reluctant to leave.

Then the two children of the Prussian king's family came.

Zhu Jingyuan asked Luo Feiya to pick up the two of them at the pier and took them to Zhu Jingyuan's residence to meet them.

The two and a half children, both dressed in completely Ming-style clothes, saluted respectfully to Zhu Jingyuan quite apprehensively:

"See His Royal Highness Prince Daishi."

The Da Ming Ya dialect is quite standard, and the accent attached to the native ethnic language is not obvious.

Obviously, he has had the most high-grade teachers since he was a child, and he has specially educated and guided them to learn and practice standard accents.

Zhu Jingyuan sat in the master's seat, looking the two half-grown children up and down.

After the New Year, William was fifteen years old, and Louise was fourteen.

In Zhu Jingyuan's memory, William I was a bald and bearded figure.

Probably because he was not his father's eldest son, he became king after the death of his brother, and he was in his sixties when he became king.

Now the young William has no signs of baldness, after all, he is still young......

The current image is also quite positive, after all, he was born in the royal family and was pampered, at least he will not be shriveled and decadent.

As for Louise's image, Zhu Jingyuan was completely impressed.

The one standing in front of her now is a white and innocent little girl.

Although my appearance is not very outstanding, it has nothing to do with ugliness at all.

At least it won't make Zhu Jingyuan uncomfortable to watch, otherwise he would never stay by his side and use it.

Zhu Jingyuan nodded slightly and responded to the questions of the two:

"Well, you two have been tired all the way, don't stand, sit down and talk."

The two and a half children immediately returned the salute and sat down, and then waited for Zhu Jingyuan's further instructions.

The two of them came over, of course, for a purpose and a mission, not to play.

Zhu Jingyuan had already thought about how to arrange the two of them before.

Zhu Jingyuan is not ready to really train and educate the two of them for Prussia, mainly because there is no time now.

It should be arranged for them to be close enough to them, but not to involve the real Ming confidential affairs, and at the same time they can be influenced by the Ming culture, and they will not work too hard.

After a slight pause now, Zhu Jingyuan looked at the two and a half children:

"Your father asked me to take you with me and teach you, but I don't have time to do it myself.

"So I put you by my side to do some simple work, and you follow the seniors to see and learn by yourself.

"William, you go to my prince's guard to be a personal soldier, and occasionally run errands for me and send notices.

"Louise, you go to my Johor Tongzhi's office and be a clerk to receive visiting officials.

"I talk to you when I'm free from work.

"Is it acceptable? Do you have any comments? ”

Of course, the two of them didn't dare to have an opinion, and they really didn't have an opinion.

This kind of work as a pro-soldier, although the grade may not be high, but whether it is Taixi or Daming, it is a very special identity.

If you are a native, it is easy to establish a personal friendship with the prince if you are currently guarding the prince.

In the future, he can be sent out as a close confidant of the new king to lead the army.

William was an outsider, and sooner or later he had to return to Prussia, and he didn't care about the rank of the position he held.

His most important task is to establish friendship with Zhu Jingyuan and maintain the relationship between the two royal families.

It is very suitable for a personal soldier who can often contact Zhu Jingyuan.

Louise's work is also a similar situation, this kind of office receptionist is a secretarial in nature, and it is also a job that can often come into contact with Zhu Jingyuan.

I don't know how many job opportunities there are simply going in to report and come out to deliver notices.

The two of them immediately stood up and saluted respectfully again:

"Yes."

Zhu Jingyuan directly handed over William to the captain of the guard under Guan Tianpei.

Guan Tianpei is no longer directly following Zhu Jingyuan's side now, he is now the commander of the Great Food Country Fleet that has begun to take shape, and most of the time he is in charge of training on the fleet's side.

The soldiers who followed Guan Tianpei as Zhu Jingyuan's escort at the beginning have now become officers and sergeant majors of the Great Food Country Fleet.

The officers who guarded Zhu Jingyuan's side were also selected from these veterans.

Louise was directly handed over to Luo Feiya, Luo Feiya, An Xiaona and other Zhu Jingyuan's first few maids have been used by Zhu Jingyuan as personal secretaries, and now Zhu Jingyuan's several offices and reception rooms at home are all in turn for them.

Zhu Jingyuan continued to chat with them casually for a while, and today's meeting was over.

Three days later, the two began to work beside Zhu Jingyuan.

After the two came back in stability, they sent a telegram together to their Prussian parents.

William III and his wife were relieved again when they received the news.

The arrangement of the pro-soldier and the office secretary really reassured them.

Since then, Zhu Jingyuan's work has focused on the promotion of the general education examination certificate.

This policy of absorbing the surrounding ethnic groups that have been assimilated was officially promoted in the places that already belonged to the Ming Dynasty.

Now the ethnic group called "Daming" is being formed, and if the population that could have been absorbed into the group of the Ming people in this process, then they will become "outsiders" within the Ming Dynasty in the future.

The Ming people treat them as outsiders, they will also feel that they are outsiders, and they will become a natural incubator for separatism.

Now the original "barbarians" and the Ming people are issued the same certificate together, so that they can enjoy the same treatment as the Ming people, which is of course a bit of a challenge to the nerves of the original Ming people.

It's just that now Daming is in a state of lack of employment, and the jobs in the society are very abundant.

Even if the barbarians are given the same qualifications, it will not have an obvious direct impact on the interests of ordinary Daming workers.

Ordinary Ming people may dislike these barbarian colleagues, but they should not directly clash with each other.

Even if there are individual personnel, they will ask the proprietor and the shopkeeper not to use these barbarians, but if the proprietors and shopkeepers do not use these barbarians, the Ming workers will not be enough.

So now is the best time to promote such a system.

In the era of great technological development, abundant science and technology and war dividends can offset the contradictions caused by this kind of system adjustment.

When the bonus disappears, it will be difficult to do such a thing again.

Zhu Jingyuan doesn't know when the dividends will disappear, so he must hurry up as much as possible.

I ran a circle in the whole Daming, and I wanted to popularize this system in the whole Daming.

The popularization of the certificate system is actually only the first step.

The second step is to abolish the original hukou system.

Because there is ethnic group information on the household registration information, and the record is very detailed, it can tell the identity of three generations.

Finally, the certificate of conformity is converted into a unique Ming ID card.

In June of the sixth year of Ankang, when Zhu Jingyuan was copying the routine news given to him by various departments in the Ming Dynasty, he saw the news of the plague in Nantianzhu.

However, the officials of Xichang and Beitianzhu, as well as Zhu Jingyuan himself, did not feel that there was anything unusual about this news.

Nantianzhu fought for more than ten years, and the British engaged in a plundering transfer of population and materials for several consecutive years.

The social order in Nantianzhu was on the verge of collapse, and the appearance of the plague would not be surprising at all.

This seems to all people to be a normal thing.

The relevant bureaucratic knowledge has reported that it will strengthen the security of the border areas.

Avoid the crowds of South Tianzhu from crossing the border into the north.

Then there were no other reports and analyses.

In the months that followed, some new news came one after another.

The number of Nantianzhu people trying to cross has increased, but the border garrison has also been strengthened.

In this day and age, it is a merciful thing to drive away rather than kill directly.

When the garrison can't manage it, it will be killed directly.

Then the density of relevant news slowly decreased, and by the end of Ankang's sixth year, there was no direct report.

In fact, Zhu Jingyuan didn't realize that unlike the modern news that no news is good news, no news at this time may be the biggest bad news.

In the modern society with smooth communication, there is no news in a certain place, and there is no unexpected news in the local area that is worthy of being in the news, which shows that the local situation is relatively calm and stable.

But at this time, especially in places where order has collapsed, there is no news, it may be that there is no one in the local area who can pass on the news to the outside world, or even there is nothing that can form a message.

Now the situation in Nantianzhu is unknown to the whole world.

After the seven-year New Year of Ankang, Zhu Jingyuan began to pack his bags again and prepared to go to the new place of governance training.

This time, the destination is closer to the mainland.

After the first lunar month, Zhu Jingyuan, as in previous years, received a notice and appointment from his father and the imperial court.

The Edo Diplomatic Envoy is the Governor of the Japanese Islands and the military and political affairs of the Korean Peninsula.

The name of "XX Political Envoy Division" still exists, but it has become the name of the corresponding government affairs yamen of the province, and the place where the political envoys and the political participants and councilors work is the political envoy Yamen.

The political envoys are equivalent to the provincial-level government, the command of the envoys is equivalent to the provincial-level military sub-districts, and the procuratorial departments are equivalent to the provincial-level courts.

Continuing to retain these names will not only clearly distinguish the names of government affairs from those of the military, judicial, and supervision systems, but also minimize unnecessary adjustments in administrative links.

(as well as convenient anti-harmony...... ）

Except for the official general name of the province, which has been changed from "other places" to "provinces", the institution itself has not changed at all.

Because "other places" are originally provinces, there is a complete set of provincial-level yamen.

The governors of Korea and Japan, this is probably the smallest governor Zhu Jingyuan has ever done.

There are a total of three provinces, an area of more than 200,000 square meters, and more than 50 million people.

However, the official of the political envoy was promoted again in the normal governance training process.

In particular, the scope has crossed from the scope of the prefect's yamen to the yamen of the political envoy.

Tongzhi is the fifth grade, and the senator was originally from the fourth grade, but after the adjustment of the official rank in the local province, it has become the fourth grade.

Directly skipped the threshold from the fourth grade, which is a privilege only for princes......

However, when I was in Johor, as a fellow intellectual, there was only one prefect on my head.

When he arrived at the Political Envoy Division, in addition to the political participation of the third grade, there was also the political envoy who was promoted to the second grade.

The key point is that both the Senate and the Governor are "indefinite," and a specific number will be set up according to the situation to be in charge of certain affairs.

Therefore, if you don't consider the additional governor's position, Zhu Jingyuan doesn't even know how many people can rank in the team of the Edo political envoys.

However, these things are actually not important, and Zhu Jingyuan put aside this official letter of appointment after reading it.

The important thing is another piece of news, the news of my own father himself.

There is only one content, asking himself to go to Edo on the way to take office, and make a trip to Otenfu in the middle.

His grandfather, Zhu Zhongliang, the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, is now in Yingtianfu.

He, the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, will also use the banner of inspecting the Southern Shipbuilding Industrial Zone to inspect Yingtianfu in the future.

The two of them had to discuss an issue with themselves on the spot.

As I mentioned in the "Thesis" before, the power of the imperial court will continue to decay in the midst of change.

This matter directly attracted the attention of two generations of emperors.

Because this is related to the future stability of the royal family and even the Ming court.
