Luo Yashan came to see Zhu Jingyuan specifically, in addition to discussing the oil business and caring about the future policy changes of the vassal state, the more urgent thing was Zhu Jingyuan's reform measures.

This matter is the same for all foreign vassal states, and it makes sense to wait until the monarchs of several vassal states have arrived.

Even if it was unreasonable, Luo Yashan didn't dare to be serious with Zhu Jingyuan, Zhu Jingyuan said that he would wait for a few princes to arrive, so he could only wait patiently for two days.

So Luo Yashan and Zhu Jingyuan put aside their official duties for the time being and began to talk about some family life.

At noon, Zhu Jingyuan asked Luo Feiya to leave all the family behind, and the two sides had a meal together, and only let Luo Yashan's family go back to rest in the afternoon.

Over the next two days, the kings of the other four vassal states also flew to Xi'an.

When the monarchs arrived, they all went to pay a private visit, greeted the report, and gave out the gifts they had brought.

It was very different from the gifts of Mount Loa, and the gifts they brought were very traditional.

There was no real money, just antiques, calligraphy and paintings, jade, sculptures, and finally a few orchids......

If the target is an ordinary official, the value of these gifts they give is actually not low, and most ordinary officials dare not accept them.

But if you put it on Zhu Jingyuan, the richest prince, it can really only be regarded as a little bit of meaning.

It is impossible for Zhu Jingyuan to give them any direct care for this little thing.

Zhu Jingyuan was not interested in these things, but he didn't have any psychological pressure to accept them.

In order to make them feel at ease, Zhu Jingyuan also had to accept it.

It's just that at present, Zhu Jingyuan is in the Ming Dynasty, and the Ming Dynasty cannot directly raise slaves, so the orchids sent to them are arranged to be the status of the Great Food Country.

After the informal meeting, let them rest for a day or two, and Zhu Jingyuan officially received them in the side hall of the palace.

After the two sides saluted and said hello, Zhu Jingyuan asked directly:

"I can guess the purpose of your coming to Xi'an, but in order to avoid misunderstanding, let's talk about it first.

"As the so-called distant guests are guests, the Egyptian prince is the farthest away this time, so the Egyptian prince will talk about it first."

During the armistice negotiations of the world war, the Duke of Egypt had dealt with Zhu Jingyuan and was more familiar with Zhu Jingyuan than anyone else.

Now when I heard Zhu Jingyuan point out, I immediately smiled and said politely, but I also said the problem directly:

"If you go back to Your Highness, your subordinates just want to know how the many policies currently implemented in other vassals in the Ming Dynasty, including the general education examination certificate system, the government-run consortium system, etc., should be implemented in our foreign vassals."

Zhu Jingyuan nodded slightly when he heard this, and then looked at several other monarchs:

"You all have the same intentions, don't you?"

Several monarchs immediately nodded in agreement, and added a few details by the way, but they were all things that Zhu Jingyuan had been busy with in the past few years.

This proves that Zhu Jingyuan's guess is correct, so Zhu Jingyuan stopped writing and directly explained his plan:

"Relatively speaking, the five kingdoms of Xianbei, Egypt, Kazakhstan, Khiva, and Persia are in an intermediate position in the Ming dynasty's vassal system.

"In the middle of the Mozhou black aristocracy and Korea, it is closer to the Ming than the Tessis, and Khiva and Kazakh are closer.

"The latest reform policy implemented by the Ming Dynasty in the Jinzhi vassal state has no plans to be implemented within the black aristocratic group, but it is necessary to be true in the five countries such as Xianbei.

However, after all, the Five Kingdoms are foreign vassals, so the implementation of these policies in the Five Kingdoms is of course not exactly the same as in the Ming Dynasty.

"Specifically, it is the general examination certificate system, which will only be open to more than half of the people of Ming blood in the five countries.

"Well, for example, Xianbei Guogong, his mother is a Ming person, he himself has half of the Ming blood, his wife is also a Ming person, and his children have three-quarters of the Ming blood.

"So Xianbei Guogong and his children were able to take the exam.

"But the Egyptian duke is not at the moment, because the Egyptian duke is Albanian.

"If the children of the Egyptian duke marry a Ming woman, then the children of the two of them will be able to take the exam."

Zhu Jingyuan's original purpose in obtaining the general education examination certificate was to integrate the ethnic groups close to the Ming people.

However, this strategy can also be effective for mixed-race people.

Which race is the half-blood offspring of the two groups? There are different habits in different cultural traditions.

For example, the "one drop of blood" principle in the United States.

The One Drop of Blood Principle was originally a law of the slavery era, and was used to distinguish whether a person was a Moji slave or not.

As long as there is a drop of blood from a Mohan slave, then this person is not a pure white man, and it is possible to become a slave.

A white person is defined as someone who "cannot trace other blood sources."

Young Mo-female slave girls with the appearance of a white mulatto were in high demand in the slave market at the time.

The original "drop of blood" was a discriminatory law against the Mexicans, but in later generations it was used in reverse and became a means used by other ethnic groups to win over mixed-race groups.

As long as you have ancestors of other skin colors, you can join the group of that skin color.

Only those who can find their ancestors are all white can be considered white.

The fertility rate of whites is already low, and those who have mixed race are not whites, and the population of whites is even more precarious.

Correspondingly, "Hispanics" in the United States are not white.

But "Hispanic" is not "Hispanic", Spaniards can be white.

Hispanics in the United States actually refer to Latinos, that is, the mestizo people of the former Spanish colonies in Latin America.

Most of the paternal lines can be traced back to the Spaniards, but many of the maternal lines are Yin and Mo.

Latinos are mostly mixed-race, and certainly not white under the one-drop principle.

But can pure Spaniards from Spain, or descendants of Spaniards who have lived in Latin America for previous generations, have never been mixed at all, integrate into the white American community?

Of course, yes, but it may not be very smooth.

In reality, the basis for ethnic division is more cultural identity, in addition to bloodline and appearance that cannot be changed.

In fact, the ethnic division of the United States in later generations was mainly based on self-perception, and people with no obvious differences in image may be characterized as what ethnic group they think they are when asked.

The living habits of the vast majority of Latin American Spanish descendants, even the images and living habits of the Tessi people on the coast of the Great Qin Sea, such as the Spaniards and Italians, are quite different from the Germanic and Anglo-Saxons in the north.

The "white" in the world today can be regarded as a somewhat "discriminatory" term, which was originally used to refer to traditional whites such as northern Lucians and British.

The image of many of them from sparse sunny areas is really pale in the eyes of the Ming people.

The people of the Ming Dynasty felt that they were "white like ghosts", and the image was obviously different from that of the Ming people, and the blonde hair and blue eyes were originally a typical ghost image, so they were once called white ghosts.

Later, the Ming people knew that they were the same kind as the Italians and Spaniards in the south, so they used white people as a general term.

Based on this background, the Spaniards and Italians of this world do not like to be called white, and most of the time they prefer to impersonate the Great Cannibals, Hu People, and Tatars.

In Zhu Jingyuan's view, although the ethnic policy of Emperor Shizu of the Ming Dynasty was meaningful, it was obviously too forceful.

To a certain extent, the Ming people also follow the principle of "one drop of blood".

As long as the blood of other ethnic groups is mixed, the Ming people cannot be written when the household registration is registered.

The people who are registered as Ming people are all people who have not mixed with other ethnic groups since the Renwu Dynasty.

However, unlike the United States, a drop of blood of the Ming Dynasty is not only aimed at the Ming people, but also against the vast majority of ethnic groups at the same time.

Daming's household registration directly has the classification of "mixed race".

The Ming people and the mixed race of foreign races are not considered Ming people, and they are also not completely foreigners.

In particular, the father is a Ming person, and the mixed-race child who has lived in the Ming group since he was a child cannot be biased to the foreign side for the time being.

But the household registration also made it impossible for them to integrate into the Ming group.

In Zhu Jingyuan's view, a drop of ink is enough, and a drop of blood is really unnecessary.

The function of a drop of ink is to avoid pollution, and a drop of blood is to push the center outward.

So Zhu Jingyuan is ready to slowly change this strategy.

For people with more than half of the Ming ancestry, and at the same time those who are completely Ming people in terms of cultural identity, they are included in the Ming group through the general examination certificate system.

The General Education Certificate assesses cultural background and self-awareness.

As soon as Zhu Jingyuan said this, Luo Yashan and the other five foreign vassal monarchs all breathed a sigh of relief, and then they all felt that this was really the case.

The role of Zhu Jingyuan's general education examination certificate system is mostly imaginable to them.

If this system is implemented indefinitely in their vassal country, then it is estimated that after ten or twenty years, the middle and upper classes of the entire vassal kingdom will all become Ming people.

They don't really care if others can become Ming people, and even they expect themselves to become Ming people.

But all the citizens of the country have become the Ming people, so there is no need for the existence of his own vassal state.

If the general examination pass system is fully implemented in their territory, it can even be regarded as a countdown to the abolition of the feudal domain.

But they also all know that the cleanliness of the Ming people is obviously a bit high, and not everyone can be a Ming person.

Even, among the Tatars of other countries, even if it can be confirmed that their ancestors migrated from the territory of the Ming Dynasty, it is extremely difficult to obtain the identity of the Ming people.

The most strict identity of the Ming people is determined by the triple judgment of region, bloodline, and culture......

Now Zhu Jingyuan is completely understandable as long as he is a mixed-race child, and he can even be regarded as very "enlightened".

The point is that as long as this strategy of half-breeds, most of the people who may never have the opportunity to mix with the Ming people will become the guaranteed citizens of these feudal states.

As long as these citizens are still around, most of their monarchy will be able to remain.

However, in this category, the identities of some groups are still ambiguous.

So after hesitating for a few seconds, the Kazakh duke asked the question he had to ask:

"Dare to ask Your Highness, the Mongols in our territory are sure to be descendants of the Mongols in the Ming Dynasty, as well as the ethnic groups that are close relatives of the Mongols, how to calculate the proportion of their Ming blood?"

The Mongols are nomadic people, and their bloodlines are inherently very mixed, and there are already a large number of Mongols in Kazakhstan, and even the entire ethnic group can be regarded as Mongols in a broad sense.

At the same time, the Mongols are also the Ming nation.

So can all Kazakhs be regarded as having Ming blood?

Zhu Jingyuan also carefully considered this issue.

Zhu Jingyuan was originally prepared to treat these Mongols as Ming as well.

But after careful consideration, it turned out that you can't do that.

That would result in a Kazakh Mongol and a Mexican Spaniard marrying and having a child who would have half Ming blood.

That's just outrageous, and the point is that there is no way to control and verify.

So Zhu Jingyuan finally came to the conclusion:

"The identification of the identity and lineage of the Ming people is subject to the existing household registration information of the Ming court.

"The Mongols of Kazakhstan are Kazakhs, not Ming people."

At this moment, the three princes of Kazakh, Khiva, and Xianbei are all relieved, there are too many Mongols in their territory.

If these people are regarded as people with the blood of the Ming people, then the follow-up management will inevitably be chaotic.

Zhu Jingyuan paused slightly, saw that several monarchs had no new questions, and continued to explain the follow-up plan:

"Then there is the system of government-owned manufacturers, of course, it cannot be directly copied from the system of the local provinces of the Ming Dynasty.

"After all, a vassal state is a vassal state, and the internal relationship between the vassal state and the Ming Dynasty is actually that the monarch of the vassal state is loyal to His Majesty the Ming Emperor and becomes a vassal and tributary of His Majesty the Ming Emperor.

"This can even involve no court, but only the personal relationship between the royal family and the monarch.

Therefore, it is not reasonable to set up government-owned manufacturers owned by the imperial court in each vassal state.

"My idea is to refer to the relationship between the feudal state and the Ming Dynasty.

"The official manufacturers of the vassal state are not owned by the yamen of the vassal state at all levels, nor are they under the management of these yamen.

"It was jointly funded by the monarch of the vassal state and His Majesty the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, and jointly held the shares of the manufacturer and enjoyed the profit dividends.

"The Ming Emperor was responsible for the formulation of the strategic direction, and the vassal monarch was responsible for the actual daily operation and management.

"This form of the official manufacturer of the feudal state is actually a local joint venture of the Ming Imperial Family Foundation.

"The feudal manufacturers need to cooperate with the royal family in terms of strategic layout, but the day-to-day affairs of the feudal kingdom are all decided by the feudal kingdom itself.

"Your monarch is the big boss of this kind of joint venture company, what do you think?"

After hearing this, the expressions of the five monarchs were different.

The kings of Kazakhstan, Khiva, and Persia all directly showed their heartfelt expressions of surprise.

In fact, they were very worried, and the Ming Dynasty forced them to set up government-run manufacturers in the territory of the vassal state, and the key was to set up manufacturers that were managed and operated by the imperial court of their vassal state.

The authority of these vassal kings was not strong enough, and the courtiers below were deeply influenced by the capital and bureaucrats of the Ming Dynasty.

If there were more government-run manufacturers, it would further strengthen the power of the courtiers and weaken the authority of their kings.

They certainly don't want that outcome if they could.

At the same time, the royal consortium of the Ming Dynasty is deeply desired and envied by most monarchs around the world.

Now that the Ming Emperor is taking them to do the same business, these monarchs are pleasantly surprised.

The point is that once you have a consortium under your control, your authority in your home country will also increase.

But Luo Yashan was a little undecided, and always felt that there was something wrong with it.

Mu Yi, the Duke of Egypt, frowned quickly, but he was quickly relieved after frowning.

As the monarch of a vassal state, he and His Majesty the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty jointly established a large manufacturer belonging to the monarch of the vassal state, which strengthened his authority as the monarch of the vassal state, and was likely to deepen the degree of separation from the local bureaucracy and private capital.

Instead of strengthening the relationship between the Ming court and the vassal court, but strengthening the relationship between the vassal monarch and His Majesty the Ming Emperor, the status and rights of the vassal monarch will be more dependent on the support and recognition of the Ming Emperor.

However, this kind of direct cooperation can also deepen the degree of binding between himself and the Ming royal family.

In the future, the bureaucrats and capital in the vassal state will confront themselves, and if they can't solve it, they can have more reasons to directly ask the Ming Emperor to help.

The skill and credibility of the Ming Emperor in helping the vassal states to quell the rebellion and stabilize the situation are very convincing.

Whether it was before Chongzhen or after the Renwu Dynasty, the Ming Dynasty said that if it is not annexed, it will really not be annexed, and the counterinsurgency is really just a counterinsurgency.

In the future, as long as the Ming royal family does not fall, his identity will be as stable as Mount Tai, even if the country completely collapses, and his family will still be the monarch of the vassal country after rebuilding order again.

Although on the whole, there are advantages and disadvantages, but the road of betraying the independence of the Ming Dynasty is completely unrealistic, so the disadvantages are meaningless, and it can be considered that the advantages outweigh the disadvantages.

The point is that there is no way to refuse.
