Zhu Yijun naturally couldn't be so generous in vain, and divided a large piece of territory to give to Siam.

He is doing this only to exacerbate the tension between Siam and the Taungoo dynasty in Burma.

After all, the Ming Dynasty has not been able to completely swallow the whole of Burma now, and at most it can only establish some strongholds in places such as Maomian and Dagong, and then migrate to Tuntian.

But what is certain is that the Burmese Mang clan will not let the Ming settle down to settle in Tuntian, and will definitely drive out the people who moved here after the strength of the Ming Dynasty recovers in the future.

Therefore, Zhu Yijun needed to bring Siam in, and deliberately allocated a large part of southern Myanmar to Siam, so that Siam had to continue to fight with Myanmar in order to eat this piece of meat, maintain enough troops in Myanmar, and had to seek the support of the Ming Dynasty.

"Your Majesty!"

"Siam also has limited financial resources and a small population, so it may be difficult to rule such a large area of Burma."

"Otherwise, there would not have been a situation where the Burmese have always invaded Siam, not Siam."

Fang Fengshi said at this time.

Zhu Yijun pondered for a moment after hearing this, and said: "What Qing said is that maybe this is just my wishful thinking, and Siam is afraid that he may not be willing to commit such a crime." The people who eat the fields in the world have always been reluctant to forge ahead, is this a phenomenon unique to our emperor? ”

"Your Majesty said yes!"

"Study the ancients well, seek truth from facts, and it is the great wisdom of my China to make friends and attack from afar, and now it is Siam that is not bordered by the Emperor Ming, and the Burmese that borders with the Emperor Ming has a feud!"

"Therefore, it is a holy move for Your Majesty to do this now, and as for the problem that Siam may not be able to rule such a large piece of Burma, it is not a problem for the minister! My Celestial Empire is not only good at destroying countries, but actually better at enriching countries! ”

"In the opinion of the ministers, since Siam is needed to fight against the Burmese Yi, it is not only necessary to support it in military affairs, but also to support it in the benefit of helping the people through the world, and send officials and craftsmen who are good at water conservancy in this dynasty to build water conservancy for them, and even pass on some weaving and smelting skills that are still valuable but not superb to their own country to Siam, especially the study of arithmetic, so that it will be like North Korea and another small China in the world."

"As the saying goes, a chess player should not only hold the chess that will produce immediate results at the moment, but also play idle chess to make a long-term plan."

Shen Shixing put forward his own views on Zhu Yijun at this time.

Zhu Yijun looked at Shen Shixing with great pleasure: "Master Shen is a person who is good at planning and knows the truth here. ”

"Your Majesty's praise!"

Shen Shixing hurriedly arched his hand.

Zhu Yijun then waved his hand and said: "According to Master Shen's words, destroy Burma and help Siam!" Let all the people in the world know that those who follow China will be rich! Those who oppose China will perish! The cabinet took a moment to send a reliable official to Siam to negotiate with their king about the dynasty's financing of their prosperity and even the strengthening of the army. ”

"Yes!"

It is inevitable to achieve the goal of maximizing foreign interests by strengthening diplomatic strategies.

If you want to swallow the world, you have to take some of your own dogs, and even have to raise some of your own dogs.

However, diplomacy is only an auxiliary means, and even if it is a reward or concession that has to be made, the essence is to be able to swallow greater benefits in the future.

Zhu Yijun didn't really want to prop up a powerful Siamese dynasty.

He just wanted Siam to have the ability to fight against Burma.

In fact, Zhu Yijun hopes that Siam and Burma are both Han soil, even if they cannot be directly ruled by the central court due to climate and geographical factors, they should be the same culture as the Ming Dynasty.

……

"Your Majesty!"

"In the opinion of the ministers, the imperial court should establish a new rite as soon as possible."

"After inspecting the south, Yu Ge Lao has written to his ministers that the old folk rites have collapsed badly, and the common people and merchants wear silk and the big families of the wealthy right have built mansions that violate the etiquette, and prostitutes also insert gold hairpins and wear silver ornaments, which can be seen everywhere!"

"If you really want to talk about the old rites, these things must be forbidden! Those who offend it will even be exiled to the army, but at the moment they really want to be forcibly banned, they are afraid that they will not be able to do it, because of the boom in commerce, most of the people in many towns and cities depend on it for their livelihood, and the forcible ban will only hurt the people; The second is that this is conducive to increasing taxes, as long as the imperial court appropriately adjusts the tax policy, in the name of building a new ceremony, the quasi-people pay attention to life, but those who want luxury need to pay more taxes to the country, and can not only satisfy their selfish desires, ignoring the country's extravagance because of the flood of luxury so that the imperial court has no wealth, strong soldiers and peace of the people. ”

"In addition, abandoned babies and foot binding, self-castration still exist, both want to benefit the people, so that the courtesy of the people, these are not rude!"

"First of all, abandoning babies is not benevolence, foot binding and self-castration are not filial piety."

"And the construction of new rites should first prohibit the people from saying that these three are indecent and should be strictly prohibited!"

"One is that the country needs more Han people to have children in order to facilitate the development of the frontier in the future, so abandoned babies need to be convicted, and the Ministry of Criminal Justice will make a new law;"

"It's the same with self-castration."

"If you really want to give up filial piety to enter the palace for the country to serve the monarch's father, you should first ask Your Majesty for permission to say, the most important thing about the new gift is that the love can only be won by the Son of Heaven; This is also conducive to preventing adulterers from entering the palace. ”

"As for foot binding, at present, whether it is the need for domestic mulberry weaving, the need for women to work more easily to benefit the family and the country, or the lucrine gouache and gold and silver jewelry that can bring huge profits in the country, and the need for more women to go out to buy and sell, it is not appropriate to hurt filial piety and damage the national body because it is the habit of scholars."

At this time, Shen Shixing suddenly asked Zhu Yijun about the construction of the new ceremony.

Zhu Yijun and the officials around him listened attentively.

After hearing this, Zhu Yijun said: "You should be like this!" The edict strictly prohibits abandonment of infants, foot binding, and self-castration; Etiquette should start from respect and end with benevolence, children should respect their parents and elders, but parents and elders should also treat them with kindness, and they should be courteous! Therefore, at the same time, the Ministry of Criminal Affairs was ordered to revise the criminal law, so that abandoned infants, including trafficked parents, should be convicted and punished, and non-parent traffickers should be tortured more severely, and parents and elders who are prohibited from binding their feet and themselves should be punished; Those who are self-eunuchs are to be punished, and those who are eunuchs are to be punished for the crime of treason. ”

"However, governing the country is governed by grace and power, and rewards and punishments are combined."

"In this way, in order to encourage the people to be willing to raise children, the edict is to increase the tax in the prosperous era, and find other ways, and no longer increase the amount of money that is nourished! At the same time, according to the increase in the state's financial resources, the Ministry of Household Affairs will discuss that a certain amount of Ding silver can be exempted for those who reach a certain scale, so that the people are willing to give birth and are willing to raise. ”

"For the family of Tianzu, a certain amount of rewards will be given, so that each Fu will be judged according to his own local wealth and the income of the feudal treasury, and in addition, the Ministry of Rites can ask the imperial court to allocate silver to some less rich places according to the wealth of different places, as a reward to encourage the release of money."

"Yes!"

After Shen Shixing gave up his hand, he said: "Your Majesty, in addition to the common people, the new rite also has to rebuild the rite between Fanyi and the people, after all, it is now necessary to move the people to the new land, which involves the ritual of getting along between the Han people and the Yi people, so it should be clearly decreed that the Han Yi will be different, and the king will be transformed." ”

"My people are the people of the upper country, and Fanyi is the slave of the lower country, there is a difference between the noble and the low, and the Panyi needs to treat the kingdom as parents, and the same reasoning, the people of Fanyi need to treat the people of the kingdom as parents, and the people of the kingdom can teach them to be immoral!"

"In particular, the people of our own country can only be disposed of by our own country, and each of them is not allowed to dispose of them, such as disrespecting their parents!"

"Order the Criminal Department to draw up a new law on the treatment of the people in accordance with this."

Zhu Yijun instructed.

"Yes!"
