Peng Jun and Tao Biquan looked at each other.

Now in the court.

It has gradually become indistinguishable from the Guangdong Party and the Hunan Party.

With Emperor Zhu's support for political science students who graduated from new universities such as Daohua University and Guangzhou University.

Now the bigwigs of the Guangdong Party, the Hunan Party, and the Jiangsu and Zhejiang Parties are all feeling the pressure.

They are essentially one-party – all old literati.

Now they are all facing the same problem, and their subordinates have begun to change more and more to the literati of the new era.

Under the impact of the new era.

These bureaucratic groups of the old era, which consisted of regional and township parties, gradually tended to be replaced by the 'China Renaissance Party' with the attributes of a political party in the new era, which was also deliberately done by Emperor Zhu.

He wants to support the students of the new era to unite and become the first modern political party in the Ming Dynasty.

And under their pressure.

The old literati also began to huddle.

And so.

The prototypes of the two major political parties that dominated the Ming Dynasty decades later also appeared at this time.

They are the "China Renaissance Party", which is mainly composed of graduates of new-style universities.

and the "righteous way meeting" where the old bureaucrats huddle together for warmth - the old bureaucrats disdain to call themselves the party.

But.

In a few decades later.

Whether it is the Chinese Renaissance Party or the Righteous Path Church.

All of them have gradually shed the background of political parties with bureaucratic sources as the main distinction.

In turn, it represents the class interests behind each of them - behind the Chinese Baath Party is supported by heavy industrial capital such as metal smelting and military industry.

Behind the Righteous Way Society are a large number of landlord capitalists of the old era, mainly agricultural capital, small landlord class, financial capital, etc.

It's all the dogs of the capitalists.

This Ming Empire is really too reactionary.

However, the current Ming emperor and officials did not realize that the two major parties in the future that were being formed in the Ming court did not belong to the representatives of the proletarian mud legs.

It's really undeserved.

However, now the Ming monarchs and ministers don't care about this.

Although Ming Prime Minister Peng Jun submitted the "Outline of the Economic Development of the Greater China Customs Area" to Emperor Zhu, what he first talked about was not the economic integration of the largest tariff free zone in history, which Emperor Zhu thought was crucial, but about Japan.

"The discovery of large coal mines and iron ore in New Japan?"

Emperor Zhu waved his hand when he heard the words and said: "If you find it, you will find it, the sky is high and the emperor is far away, and we can't get everything in our hands." ”

"Your Majesty, this is a tired plan?" Peng Jun asked.

"Do you think Japan is a strong Qin?"

"Even if it is not a strong Qin, it is also a country second only to the Ming Dynasty in strength on our side, and they still have millions of warriors, if these warriors don't find a place to consume their energy, they will have a little chaos in the future." Peng Jun said.

"That's right, 50,000 Japanese immigrants to South America every year are enough for the whole of Japan to be caught up in this matter."

Emperor Zhu said.

Predictably.

Future.

Japan's human resources and capital will continue to flow to New Japan.

Until that time.

There are only a limited number of resources available for indigenous development.

Of course.

It's not that Japan can't grow.

As a matter of fact.

In the Hereafter.

The per capita income of the four islands of Japan is even higher than that of the Han region.

But this was when a large number of people immigrated to South America, and at the same time, the development of Japan was also subject to the intervention and guidance of the Ming Empire, and the development was based on the route set for them by the Ming Dynasty.

Come to think of it.

Emperor Zhu opened this [Outline for the Planning and Development of the Greater China Customs Area].

"Since ancient times, the Celestial Empire has been in the middle, and the vassals have served the Celestial Empire with tribute, and the states have said to be one, but in fact they still do their own thing. And this outline is to completely integrate the countries of Greater China into one economically. The Ming Dynasty is the backbone, such as Japan, Korea, and the Annam Domains as branches and leaves, so that the countries not only respect the Ming Dynasty politically and culturally, but also rely on the Ming Dynasty economically, so that our Greater China region can truly unite and integrate as a whole! ”

Emperor Zhu's words made the three people present a little puzzled.

In this way, can other countries be integrated?

"But you can't force it to be able to merge into a whole, but there is one thing that must be done!"

Emperor Zhu continued.

"The Ming Dynasty must have complete economic control over the countries in order to ensure the coordination of the entire Greater China Economic Circle. Our Ming Dynasty will not have allies in the world, and we don't need to form alliances, but these feudal states below us must be controlled! As long as the economy of the vassal states that are now called vassals to us can be fully integrated into the economic orbit integrated with the Ming Dynasty, it means that half of the world's market belongs to the Ming Dynasty! ”

It's more than ordinary.

Demographically.

It's already more than two-thirds!

Now the world's population is about 900 million.

300 million in Handi.

Japan, North Korea, plus Annan, are almost 100 million.

India 200 million.

Plus this lump in Southeast Asia.

It can be said that most of the population is already under the control of the Ming Empire.

It's just that

The land in this world that can support a large number of people.

There are still two big fast that have not been controlled.

One is the European Plains and the other is the Great Plains of North America.

The European Plains Ming will definitely not be able to get their hands on it, and the Europeans are not Indians after all.

It was too difficult to conquer Europe.

Emperor Zhu didn't think about this either.

But the Great Plains of North America.

It's something that can be fought for!

As long as you can get your hands on the Great Plains of North America.

Not only two-thirds of the world's population is in hand.

Two-thirds of the grain-producing plains are also in the hands of the Ming Dynasty.

Until that time.

Da Ming is not a father, who is a father?

"In order to control the countries, we must first do a good job in the division of labor in the industrial chain. The countries must not easily develop the territory demarcated by the Ming Dynasty. ”

Emperor Zhu said

"How can these nations carry it out?"

"Of course, there must be enough benefits." Emperor Zhu smiled.

"Japan, for example. Their territory is small and their arable land is scarce, and if they grow grain, they will not be rich anyway, so they can be arranged to be more profitable. ”

"That's it. Sugar and marine fishing? Tao Biquan also opened this outline.

"That's right, Japan is mountainous and suitable for growing sugar beets, so you can set up a sugar factory in Japan, and in the future, Japan will be the sugar base for the whole of Greater China." Zhu Daohua said with a smile, "Don't underestimate sugar, this is a large list of industries, from planting to production to reprocessing, the market is large and the profits are high." The Japanese people will be grateful."

Can you not be grateful?

In the future, everyone in Japan will worship Emperor Zhu.

And sugar is produced in Japan.

There will certainly be no military industry to be developed.

So.

The land of the samurai became the land of sugar.

Why not?

In addition, it is necessary to encourage other vassal states to take over the corresponding industries according to local conditions. Iron and steel and grain are strategic resources, and we must prevent the feudal domains of Southeast Asia and East Asia from mastering these two strategic resources at the same time! ”
