With the completion of the collection of the asset registration tax in the United Kingdom, Daming has also completed a round of mapping of the entire Taixi continent.

The occupying forces in various parts of the Taixi continent have also gradually lifted their state of military control, and the task of social management has been fully entrusted to the political envoys who have been established one after another.

Correspondingly, the restrictions on the activities of the Taisi people were gradually relaxed, and the buying and selling activities of the free market were gradually liberalized.

Ordinary people who did not participate in the war a few years ago, and who did not resist the Ming occupation in the past two years, began to have some freedom of movement.

Renovation and construction operations across the continent are still ongoing and should continue for several more years.

But that's just a few years, and it's probably not going to be more than ten years.

Those huge religious buildings and palaces may have been built for decades or even centuries.

But demolition will take only a few years.

This is still a normal demolition, and the stone should be reused as a building material.

If you just want to destroy it, it only takes a few days to fill the explosives and turn it into a mass of ruins at the push of a button.

The main reason is that most of these buildings were built in the agricultural era or the handicraft era.

In the eyes of the industrial age, productivity was extremely low.

That's why it needs to be built for tens of hundreds of years.

The Second Industrial Revolution was completed, with electricity and internal combustion engines, as well as various construction machinery, and the speed of construction and demolition was several orders of magnitude faster.

Looking at the satellite maps of later generations, the old towns left over from the classical era only account for a small part of the large cities of the industrial era.

Even, many of the construction sites where Daming demolished religious and traditional buildings in major cities in Taixi are not as large as those under construction nearby.

It includes a new Ming-style yamen compound and a courtyard for officials' families, as well as a new residential area for the settlement of Ming soldiers and immigrants, as well as a residential area for the employees of the four major industrial groups of the Ming Dynasty in the future.

The Ming Dynasty's practice of demolishing traditional buildings on the mainland of Taixi and building new yamen and residential areas was just a waste in the eyes of ordinary Taixi people at the bottom.

I don't live in a good house, just because the Ming people dislike the Taixi architectural style.

However, many of the remaining literate people in the city have already felt the true purpose of the Ming Dynasty.

Because Da Ming is not only renovating buildings, but also dealing with other things.

The little boy in the church was sent to read the Three Character Sutra and the Thousand Character Scripture, and the choir changed to the Four Books and Five Classics.

Eunuch Ling was sent into the troupe to sing Daming's opera.

The most important thing is that religious classics and various literary and artistic books are uniformly recycled by specialized institutions and turned into pulp to reproduce straw paper.

But there is nothing they can do.

The original kings and nobles all surrendered, and then were sent to Mozhou one after another to open up the wasteland, and there were no more people who could command and stop the resistance.

The original young man was drafted into a soldier, became a prisoner with the surrender of the king, and then was also sent to Mozhou, and there was no one who had the strength to resist.

Most of the ordinary people at the bottom have been incorporated into the newly established system of the Ming Dynasty and have become the beneficiaries of the new social system, and they will not take the initiative to resist.

The religious staff of the city of Rome, who were willing to cooperate, were arranged to be interpreters and registration personnel.

Direct forced labor that is unwilling to cooperate.

On the construction site outside Rome, a group of former professional priests, now driven by Persian and Tatar foremen, weptly tied steel bars to the shelves.

Every morning when I get up, I can listen to the sound of the little boys reading, and in the evening, when I rest, I have the opportunity to listen to the music of the former eunuchs.

The people who cook in the cafeteria are all former nuns, and now they are all shouting and queuing in half-baked Daming Yayan.

In the library of the University of Berlin, scholars and professors such as Hegel and Schopenhauer led a large number of university students, under the supervision of several Ming officials, to translate the library's important documents into the Ming language.

The officials of the Ming Dynasty basically did not check the translated results much, and basically roughly read them even if they passed the acceptance.

Scholars such as Hegel and Schopenhauer, however, would take the initiative to cross-check all the translated documents before handing them over to the Ming officials.

Because they already know that what they translate has a chance to be passed on.

The original books in other Tessie scripts were loaded directly onto trucks and sent to paper mills, where they were broken up and dissolved into pulp to turn into the lowest grade of straw paper.

Therefore, they are afraid that any mistakes will lead to the complete loss of precious documentary data.

At lunchtime and at night, a group of professors complained more than once, and discussed privately more than once.

"Translate the documents of other countries into your own script and archive, and then destroy the originals of all other languages, this is Qin Shi Huang burning books and pit Confucianism."

"It's just book burning now, but there's no cheating, because we're all alive and well......"

"Who knows if we will be pitted after the translation is completed!"

"Don't be so desperate, even a family like Hohenzollern that destroys the situation in Tessie has a chance to continue to pass on the family......"

"It's not desperate, the Ming people are systematically destroying the traces of Tessie's writings—"

"Hohenzollern can continue to exist because they are meritorious to the Great Ming!"

"Yes, it's not Hohenzollern who died, and the Ming can't tear up his promise not to occupy Europa itself and send troops."

"You think you wouldn't have shot without Hohenzollern? The promise not to occupy Europa itself is a ploy to get away with it! ”

"If the Grand Duke Emperor hadn't shouted peace everywhere, if he hadn't deliberately released the promise not to occupy Europa, if he hadn't deliberately shown extraordinarily indecisiveness, the key was cowardice, Hohenzollern and the countries of Europa would not have been so indulgent, and the Ming would not have had the opportunity to mess around openly-"

"Now that I think about it, the Grand Duke Emperor's city is too deep, who would have imagined that he would start planning all this at the age of fifteen."

"I remember the newspapers calling him an angel of peace, which was really ironic......"

"Everything is in the past, let's look forward and try to preserve the evidence of the existence of our civilization."

"What we're doing now is to unify the text, and there's nothing wrong with unifying the text, it's much more convenient than before."

"There is nothing wrong with Qin Shi Huang burning books and archiving unified texts, the problem is that the archive was eventually burned by Xiang Yu, which directly led to the cultural fault in Shenzhou."

"So you're worried that another Xiang Yu will appear in the back and burn the documents we translated?"

"The Grand Duke Emperor is not Qin Shi Huang, and the countries of Europa are far inferior to the Ming Dynasty in size as the Six Kingdoms are to Qin."

"If it was the First Emperor, then we Europa would have a day to turn over, and now it seems that Europa really has no future at all."

"Speaking of which, according to the tradition of Shenzhou, since the countries of Europa have all perished, is it time to revise history?"

"According to the relative size of the Ming Dynasty in the countries of Europa, it is at most equivalent to countries like Nanyue and Cochin, and there is no need to revise history separately."

"That's okay...... In the name of Rome, write a history of Rome and consider the countries of Europa as part of Rome......"

"Even if the Ming Dynasty doesn't repair it, we can repair it ourselves to commemorate our former country.

"There is still an opportunity to consult various literature, and there may not be an opportunity in the future."

"It's really necessary, we can sort out the materials separately and edit them separately."

The final idea was accepted by most scholars, so they began to secretly prepare to study the history of Rome in private.

But soon there was a contradiction between them, who was orthodox when the Holy Roman Empire and the Eastern Roman Empire existed at the same time?

Among the British aristocracy was the Earl of Grosvenor, who would have been the Marquess of Westminster in 1831.

His grandson would become the Duke of Westminster in 1874, the last duke of the United Kingdom who was not from a royal family, and the richest man in Britain at the end of the 19th century.

The son of the Count of Grosvenor, Richard Grosvenor, who is now Chinese New Year's Eve and one year old.

After the deregulation of military control on the British mainland, he brought a large number of luggage and retinues to New England in the southwest of Mexico.

In the south-west of England there was a small town called Alexander Bay that came ashore.

This place belonged to South Africa in Zhu Jingyuan's previous life, on the border line in the far northwest corner of the map of South Africa, on the south bank of the Orange River estuary.

The climate here is special, very similar to Lima, the capital of Chile in the southern Yinzhou.

It has a tropical desert climate, with less than 40 mm of precipitation a year, and sunny days for most of the year.

However, there is a cold snap passing by the sea next to it, so the overall temperature is very cool.

The average minimum temperature in winter is eight degrees, and the average maximum temperature is twenty-one degrees.

The average minimum temperature in summer is 15 degrees Celsius, and the average maximum temperature is only 28 degrees.

The relative average humidity is not low, always between 70 and 80 percent, which is comparable to the summer in the northern part of the Ming Dynasty.

It's like being in an air-conditioned room in the northern summer of the Ming Dynasty.

For those who are afraid of heat and dryness, and don't like rain, this is a great place for a vacation.

For the British, it was a sunny and warmer London.

The northwestern part of South Africa of this world belongs to the United Kingdom.

The town of Alexandria Bay is now the property of the Grosvenor family.

There is a small diamond mine here.

The Grosvenor family developed a diamond mine here, built a small-scale textile mill, and a residential estate.

The town is surrounded by desert mining areas and uninhabited wilderness.

If you don't come by sea route, this can be considered a secluded place.

When Richard Grosvenor arrived, he first met with the manager and housekeeper who were in charge of managing the property.

In his own manor, under the service of Tianzhu's maid, he checked the accounts of the family property and counted the more important warehouses.

The war affected the family's business, but it wasn't all bad news.

In the process of British military expansion, the textile products of their own factories were also military supplies.

Since the Ming Dynasty always controlled the sea dominance, the shipping routes to the mainland and the United States were not greatly affected.

The overall business situation can be considered good.

Richard looked into the business and began to implement his other plans.

The estate was renovated and all the facilities that may have been Ming style were removed and replaced with pure Europa design.

The rules of etiquette in the manor were reformulated, from eating, drinking, and lazing to walking, sitting and lying down, and using pure Europa court etiquette in line with their status.

Change the clothes of everyone on the estate, including your own family and all your servants, in pure Europa clothing.

Further, all the stewards of the mines and factories were given a change of clothing, and their manners and habits were corrected.

Richard Grosvenor is the conservative who emerged in the process of self-enlightenment in Britain.

However, although Richard was from a noble background and was made an earl by his grandfather, he did not know much about many etiquette.

It's not that he doesn't know how to do it, but he doesn't know the specifics.

For example, when he touches his chest and bows down, when he does this action himself, it is a natural action.

But let him tell others how much he should bend down, where his hands should be placed, and what posture his palms should be.

His mind went blank.

Things that have already formed a conditioned reflex can't be said for specific criteria at once.

When Richard thought about this, his natural habits became awkward.

However, I discussed it with my personal servant a few times, and at the same time kept repeating the action to confirm the scale, so that I slowly got used to it after a long time of awkwardness.

He reformulated a code of etiquette that he recognized, and established the standards for various etiquette actions.

At the same time, a similar situation occurred in the process of choosing clothing.

When Richard was just ten years old, the new clothes designed by Zhu Jingyuan had already begun to become popular.

This style of clothing that Richard has worn since he was a child.

Before the end of the Taixi War, this style of clothing was also popular throughout the aristocracy and elite.

The main thing is that it is really more convenient and comfortable, suitable for the accelerating pace of life after industrialization, so that it can quickly become popular in all classes.

Over the past twenty years, the style of this clothing has been constantly updated, infiltrating every aspect of the lives of people from all walks of life in Tessie.

Many people occasionally try to wear orthodox Ming-style clothing, and their choice is mainly more serious dresses.

Many traditional aristocrats, including Richard, did not like Ming-style dresses very much.

The point is that dresses are also not suitable for ordinary wear, so they are not as popular as these so-called new formal wear.

When the Ming Dynasty conquered the entire Europa continent, there was a situation where the whole people took the initiative to wear orthodox Ming-style clothing, and at this time, formal dresses and casual clothes appeared at the same time.

It is suitable for the Ming-style clothing that you usually wear.

But Richard, who lost more than half of his family property, had a rebellious heart.

Not only did he not want to accept the Ming style of clothing and lifestyle, but he even wanted to exclude the influence of all Ming elements.

As a result, Richard and the costume designer he found were a little confused about the judgment of which things were Ming elements.

They take it for granted that the so-called new formal clothes they wear are of course traditional Tessie clothes.

It's just that this thing seems to have been designed, produced and sold by the Ming people at the beginning.

Therefore, it is necessary to skim out the elements of the Ming Dynasty and retain the elements of pure Europa.

Other elements and designs may be difficult to judge, but heels and stockings are definitely the purest Europa tradition.

Richard was the first to confirm this.

However, if both men and women wear high-heeled shoes, it is obvious that there should be a clear difference in style.

Richard felt that it could be distinguished by the most critical heel shape.

A slender straight heel as sharp as a sword should be a man's, and a thick heel with a relatively rounded curve should be a woman's.

Once the heel was settled, Richard felt like he had found his way.

So using similar standards, we slowly determined a new style of clothing design in the pure Europa traditional style.

Let the factory produce it and replace it for its own servants and employees.

In order to carry out his philosophy to the end, Richard changed all the clothes for his one-year-old child to the style he approved.

Let him learn to walk and grow up in this kind of clothing.

…………

When Richard Grosvenor was tossing his family, there was a battle in the interior of the Mozhou continent, which was nearly a thousand kilometers away.

The fate of the entire Mozhou Continent has also come to a new crossing, and the comprehensive exploration and government actions of the Ming Dynasty in the interior of the continent are finally coming to an end.

The main force responsible for carrying out the mission, the nomadic regiment of the black nobles and black officers, ushered in the last battle on a large scale.

The original task of the ranks of the black nobles and black officers was to build a "black wall" with scattered settlements as the border between the Ming Dynasty and the Mozhou colonies of the Taixi States.

When the settlements were largely stabilized and the borders between the two sides were largely stabilized, they soon had a new task.

The Ming court demanded the organization of exploration and conquest teams, a dragnet to explore the situation in the entire continent, and to conquer all the savage tribes that had not yet been incorporated into the Ming system.

The Black Aristocrats took this kind of battle for granted, as did the subjugation of other disobedient tribes and the capture of slaves.

This combat team was based on the Black Duke, and still operated in a form similar to that of a nomadic tribe.

It took them twenty years to sweep back and forth across the entire prairie twice.

Most of the geography of the entire continent was found, and most of the tribes of a certain size were found operating in the steppe.

The nomadic troops of the black nobles used obsolete weapons provided by the Ming Dynasty, most of which were bolt-action rifles and no large-caliber artillery.

Of course, they suffered in the face of the regular armies of other countries, but they were crushed by most of the Mozhou tribes.

In the vast savannah, bolt-action rifles with a longer range may be more effective than assault rifles.

On the 15th day of the seventh month of the sixth year of the Grand Duke, the last battle at the tribal level ended in the mountains of the interior of Nanmozhou.

The coalition of three large tribes, the indigenous forces of more than 1,000 people in total, were crushed by the gunner troops of the black nobles in three faces.

Then began the popular slave catching session.

The black nobleman in charge of the command of this battle was Hei Jizhong.

He was the heir to the Black Faithful who first crossed the Mozhou prairie twenty years ago.

Twenty years ago, the wisest black nobleman, Mr. Black Loyalty, had passed away a few years earlier.

Hei Jizhong has inherited their position as the Black Duke.

Today's battle seems to be the final battle of his war career.

However, there is nothing to record about the battle itself.

However, from now on, the management of the inland of Mozhou by the Ming Dynasty has become stock control.

The Ming wanted to reasonably control the number of people other than the Ming people.

Excessive population growth can lead to excessive consumption of resources, especially in the interior of Mozhou, where living resources are scarce, and it is clearly inappropriate to overpopulate.

Therefore, the Ming Dynasty has set up a series of social management rules within the black aristocratic system.

Black nobles and black officers who have made merits on the battlefield and own slaves have the right to marry and pass on their offspring.

Ordinary low-class slaves had no right to have offspring.

At the same time, every black nobleman and black officer can only pass on his title and identity to one descendant.

The other children were also ordinary slaves, and none of them could bear offspring.

In order to cooperate with the implementation of this system, in the absence of war, the brothers and sisters of the black nobles and black officers had to become monks and practice.
