Chapter 425: Mekong, Linyi, Cochin, Bangladesh: Tourism, Wealth, Faith, Land, Bubble

From Vientiane Province to the east, is Mekong Province.

Mekong Province, formerly known as Xinyi and Jiannan Provinces, was later renamed Mekong Province, referred to as Mekong or Cambodia, and the next door of Cochin Province, with the Mekong River as the boundary.

So Mekong Province is not the whole of Cambodia.

The original Cambodia was very poor, but after the occupation by the Ming Dynasty, Mekong Province had a population of 170 million and a permanent population of 200 million.

In the hands of the Ming Dynasty, Mekong Province provides more than 200 million yuan in taxes for the imperial court every year, and is a developed coastal province integrating planting, trade and finance.

The local people, most of them are immigrants from Jiangnan, so in Mekong Province, you can see gardens everywhere, Jiangnan people are good at business, after the opening of the sea, Mekong Province is the first frontier province to get rich.

The imperial court wants to make this place a second Jiangnan, and the current development trend is very good.

Therefore, housing prices are also very expensive, and the housing prices in several large cities in Mekong Province are almost the same as those in Beijing.

A few years ago, when tourism rose, Mekong Province enjoyed a wave of dividends, local business travel, mainly engaged in maritime trade, they were the first to move foreign cultural relics to the country, do foreign antique business, naturally learn back some European-style architecture.

Integrating the European architectural style into the garden, the European garden and the European villa were born.

After the rise of tourism, local tourism companies were the first to use foreign strange buildings to attract the attention of the public, and after tourism became popular, the earliest and most ruthless place to rip off customers was also Mekong Province.

Even, in the 62nd year of Jingtai, the imperial court issued the most severe decree to prohibit irregularities such as stealing tourists in tourist attractions, but Mekong Province still went its own way.

Mekong province has four pillar industries, shipbuilding, transportation, maritime trade, and tourism.

And with the strict decree of the imperial court, like the next door of Jiaozhi, Vientiane, and Tunwu did not dare to rip off customers, tourism income plummeted, but Mekong Province did not exercise its will, and the tourism income took the lead in the past two years, and the center also turned a blind eye.

In fact, tourist cities attract tourists at low prices, and then rip off tourists at high prices.

Otherwise, the tourist city is really not able to make money, since it is a tourist city, the cost of anything is very expensive, plus labor, store costs, etc., are very expensive, and the price is normal for high.

Another point is that tourists will not come a second time, and what they earn is not repeat money, but a hammer deal, so they must be slaughtered.

The reason why I don't dare to rip off customers, the reason for the sharp decline in income is that I don't steal customers, after the price is clearly marked, tourists will feel that the price is too high, or don't go, after all, there are many tourists in the country, and they all save money for a long time to come, and they must pick a cheap one.

Moreover, provinces such as Vientiane Province, Lancang Province, Thonwu Province, and Mekong Province, the landscape is almost the same, similar to each other, and they can all be replaced.

After all, there are very few sane people.

However, in the 65th year of Jingtai, the first thing Zhu Jianyu did when he entered Beijing was to execute the official in charge of tourism in Mekong Province for the crime of resisting the decree, and he executed more than 100 officials with him, shaking the officialdom of the world.

In the 66th year of Jingtai, in the name of the conspiracy and rebellion of many officials in Mekong Province, the imperial court executed nearly 100 top officials such as political envoys, patrol envoys, town guard eunuchs, and guards and nobles, and disposed of thousands of people who were related to each other.

In October, the new cabinet minister Peng Shao was appointed governor of Mekong Province, and the governor of the military and political affairs.

After Peng Shao took office, he continued to deal with the participating officials, almost sweeping down the officials of the entire Mekong Province, which can be said to be the most severe punishment among all provinces in the world.

It also shows that Zhu Jianyu is extremely dissatisfied with the local disobedience to the center.

No province, rich or poor, is allowed to resist the decree of the center, and if it does, it is punishable by death for treason.

This is to demonstrate the imperial power, but also to demonstrate the control of the imperial court over the locality.

Even if the governor who was replaced was Peng Shao of the wall-riding faction, Peng Shao would not tolerate these people who did not obey the holy decree.

In the sixty-second year of Jingtai, Mekong Province had a bad head.

In the past two years, the local government dared to bargain with the Holy Decree, because Mekong Province took the lead in resisting the decree, and Mekong Province was not punished by the central government afterwards, and the local government believed that the central government's control over the local government was relaxed, so it prevaricated in the past.

After Zhu Jianyu succeeded to the crown prince, he showed the imperial power to the people of the world and showed the center's control over the place.

Officials who did not comply with the decree were all beheaded.

Regardless of the cause, they will be put to death.

The head of the people spread throughout the country, shocking the world.

The fall of imperial power is definitely directly related to Zhu Jianqi's forgetting of the big righteousness when he sees small profits, and for the sake of some small interests, he allows the local government to coax the center, which leads to the relaxation of the center's control over the local area, which is purely brain-dead.

Among all the wealthy provinces in the world, Mekong Province is the most seriously punished, from officials to businessmen, and even tens of thousands of nepotistic people, exiled and confiscated soldiers, and the economy has also suffered a huge impact.

In the Jingtai Dynasty, there was also the crime of confiscating the army, but in the wartime, confiscating the army meant immigrating, that is, moving to the feudal country, but after sixty years of Jingtai, the confiscating army was really confiscating the army, and it was used as cannon fodder on the battlefield, and it was directly incorporated into the prisoner camp.

Therefore, those who confiscated the army are all serious crimes, and almost none of the criminals who have been confiscated in the past six years have come back alive.

Exile is not a good crime now, they are all exiled to the provinces of Lena and Yenisei, all in the fishing sea to the north, those areas are all frozen soil, it is almost impossible to survive, and the workers who dig the frozen soil are the criminals who have been exiled in the past.

Zhu Houlang thought that he would see a prosperous scene, but he did not want Mekong Province to be wiped out and the economy to be hit hard.

It's more dangerous locally.

He just sent people out to inspect the circle to understand the people's situation, while he stayed in Phnom Penh, the administrative center, to write a travelogue, and he used a fountain pen.

His calligraphy is very ugly, but the pen writing is very beautiful.

Nowadays, young children like to use fountain pens, and brushes are only used by the elderly.

The controversy over fountain pens and brushes has not stopped, and the elderly still think that fountain pens destroy the beauty of words, and also oppose simplifying words.

The simplified characters were indeed promoted by the imperial court, but the official still used the original characters, because the resistance was too great, and almost the entire literati class opposed the simplification of the characters, one was to lose the pictographic meaning, the second was to lose the sense of beauty, and the third was to weaken the inheritance of Han culture, etc.

Therefore, although the imperial court supports simplification, there is hardly much simplification in the official text, so it is indeed difficult to write.

As long as the simplified characters collected by the imperial court for more than 50 years can be submitted by the common people, as long as the simplified characters do not change their shape and do not distort their meanings, and can achieve the purpose of simplification, they will be adopted, and they will be rewarded for manuscript fees after adoption.

The wisdom of the people is endless, and over the years, thousands of words have been simplified and successful, but they have not been officially promoted.

It is worth mentioning that from the twelfth year of Jingtai to the fifty-fifth year of Jingtai, within forty-three years, the imperial court created more than 10,000 characters.

These characters, there are words analyzed from oracle bone inscriptions, golden inscriptions, and seal inscriptions, and some are created out of thin air, mainly because the old emperor is always worried that the words are not enough, and some words are not up to the meaning, so new words are created and new words come out.

Almost every five years, a new dictionary is created, and some new words are added.

The reason why it came to Jingtai for 55 years is because the Word Creation Bureau believes that the words created are enough and do not need to be recreated.

However, most of the newly created characters are rare characters, which are not very suitable for normal use, and the old emperor insists on going his own way.

For the creation of words, the people have burst out with a strong enthusiasm, and they have not made words for nearly ten years, and they can still receive letters, which shows the enthusiasm of the people for making words.

Then again.

Zhu Houlang wrote his travelogue for ten days in Phnom Penh, the administrative center of Mekong Province, and the guards around him dispersed to the people to investigate the people's situation, because the whole province was killed, and almost nothing could be found.

However, I heard people talk about the prosperity of Phnom Penh over the years, and he was a little moved to hear it, and he will come again in the future.

Next stop, Cochin.

Cochin Province is too big.

From the south of the Red River and east of the Mekong River, including half of Cambodia, most of Laos, and the whole of Vietnam, all of them are Cochin Province.

When Jingtai was sixty-five years old, when the old emperor wanted to add 57 stars to the national flag, some people proposed to split Jiaozhi into two provinces, and Jiaozhi was too big, and 57 stars became 58 stars.

Ancient Cochin, as far as Hue.

South of Hue, in the Eastern Han Dynasty is like Linyi, that is, the place where Ma Yuan cast the pillar, the Three Kingdoms period separated from the Han Dynasty and became the Linyi State, during the Sui Dynasty, it also ruled here for a short time, and set up Linyi County.

Before Tang Gaozong, it was still the territory of the Tang Dynasty, and after that, it was no longer a vassal state of the Central Plains, until the Jingtai Dynasty.

The imperial court wanted to divide the south of Hue into a separate province of Linyi, and the north was Cochin.

This is very much in line with the division of ancient cochin.

Moreover, the cochin is too large, and it is a long and narrow terrain, and even if there is a train, the cost of ruling is too high.

In the entire Cochin Province, there should be four political envoys, two in the north and two in the south, which are basically two sets of teams, and the area is indeed too large.

Zhu Houlang took a look around Luzhou and Jiaozhou, and thought that it was inevitable that Jiaozhi would be split into two provinces.

Cochin Province, with a total population of 310 million, ranks among the top provinces in the country in terms of population, with a permanent population of 350 million.

The large population also means the wealth of Jiaozhi.

Jiaozhi Province is the richest province in the Ming Dynasty and the largest economic aggregate in the country!

A Cochin province is equal to the total economic volume of Jiangsu and Zhejiang, precisely because Cochin is too large, there are rubber, palm, coconut, sugarcane, olive, tea and other plantations, as well as shipbuilding, transportation, machinery manufacturing, heavy industry, textile industry, etc., the entire Cochin Province, with a complete industrial chain of all industries.

This province is larger than any other country, and its total economic output exceeds that of most vassal states.

So there's a reason for not splitting.

After the partition of Jiangnan, the competitiveness declined significantly, and the contribution of taxes was less than before, so the imperial court was reluctant to split Jiaozhi.

Because Jiaozhi did not have the factor of rebellion, unlike Jiangnan, which was monopolized by the gentry, and at that time, the entire north needed the food supply from the south, and the imperial court could not do without Caoyun for a day, Jiangnan was too important to the Ming Dynasty.

But.

Jiaozhi is different, there is a small military factory in Jiaozhi, and the garrison power is split in the hands of different people, and this is the heart of the Ming Dynasty, the north and south are the territory of the Ming Dynasty, how can a Jiaozhi jump out of the palm of the Ming Dynasty?

In addition to the food problem, Daming's railways and electricity are all in the mainland, and Jiaozhi is a fart to rebel.

So, it makes sense not to split.

But the center has drawn up a split policy, and Cochin Province will split the province of Toe and Linyi, and Linyi Province is referred to as Zhan or Lin.

The province must be Saigon now, which is Ho Chi Minh City.

Saigon is located on the Mekong Delta, along the coast but not by the sea, similar to Guangzhou and Bangkok, which has always been the third largest city in Cochin province.

The largest city in Cochin is Hue (Hue), the second largest city is Jiao Chau (Hanoi), and the third largest city is Saigon.

The name Saigon is the name of Saigon given by Zheng He when he passed through the city when he went to the West, taking the meaning of paying tribute from the West.

This city was also built by the Jingtai Dynasty.

To tell the truth, the capital of the city state, the Ming Dynasty did not take a fancy to it, so he paid for it and built a new city in Saigon, which developed little by little.

The Singha Bula, the capital of Cham, is too religious, and it is not suitable for building a capital.

The capital was built here, and sooner or later it will be assimilated.

Therefore, the Sangha Bura was simplified to Sanghara, which was just a small city, and the imperial court did not want to invest in this city, and in recent years it gradually degenerated into a tourist city, and that's it.

As for the abbreviation of Lin Yi as Zhan, the old emperor was not very relieved.

There are more people who occupy the city and merge into the Ming Dynasty, and it seems that it is cleaned up thoroughly, but in fact, it may not be, it is too far away from the capital of the Ming Dynasty, and the imperial court cannot manage everything in everything, so it is natural to consider multiple factors to build the city.

The courtiers were also worried that the citizens of the Champa state regarded themselves as remnants and conspired to rebel.

The problem is that these remnants have melted into the Ming Dynasty and cannot be picked out.

Then it is referred to as using forests or elephants, but Vientiane Province has already used elephants, so use forests.

The fifty-eighth province of the Ming Dynasty is about to appear.

Moreover, the economic center of gravity of Cochin Province is mainly in Saigon, and in terms of population, Limyi Province has a larger population and Cochin Province has a smaller population.

For the split, the people of Linyi Province are supportive, they always think that the north sucks their blood, and the taxes in Cochin Province are basically contributed by the south, so why should they keep the waste from the north.

The secession of the people is also the reason for the split.

The people of the north and south of Jiaozhi Province are dissatisfied with each other, and the people of the north think that the imperial court has invested in the south, which has created the glory of the south, and if it is voted for the north, the north is not bad, it is the court that is biased, and besides, the southerners are not bold enough to be bold enough.

Anyway, there are a lot of problems.

Splitting into two provinces was inevitable.

What Zhu Houlang felt in the whole Jiaozhi was wealth, much richer than Beizhili.

After the rise of the electrical revolution, this is the area with the largest number of telephone installations, and by the 66th year of Jingtai, many wealthy families already had telephones.

This is something Zhu Houlang has not seen in other places, even the wealthy Bianjing, the wealthy Kuala Lumpur, and Xinjing, there are not so many telephones.

The introduction of telephones in South Cochin, and the motor factory, located in South Cochin, is closely related.

Daming has two largest motor factories, one in Harbin, Heilongjiang Province, and the other in Saigon, Linyi Province.

Therefore, there are telephones everywhere in Nanjiaozhi, because the installation cost of telephones is low, and because locals can see and understand telephones.

It also shows that the locals have money, and now it takes more than 100,000 yuan to install a phone to buy a big house.

Zhu Houlang also found a problem, obviously adjacent to Vientiane Province, the climate difference is not particularly much, but the height of the Cochin people is obviously higher than that of Vientiane Province, and the main immigrants are from the south of the Ming Jiangnan.

But there is a difference in height.

The people living in Vientiane Province and Cochin Province can almost tell at a glance that the people in the two places look different, obviously have a common ancestor, and some can even climb relatives, but there is a deviation in appearance, which is a problem of water and soil.

Moreover, the Jiaozhi people are obviously fair-skinned, because at the beginning, it was the Jiangnan gentry who took white as their beauty, and they immigrated to Jiaozhi and will definitely continue their hobby.

The sun was too scorching, and if they wanted to maintain white skin, they had to work cosmetics, so they developed cosmetics such as sunscreen.

The sunscreen produced in Cochin has the best effect and is a bestseller all over the world.

The cosmetics industry is also one of the pillar industries of Cochin, and Cochin also has a more powerful one, which is an anti-mosquito drug, which has manufacturers in the land of Baiyue, and the efficacy is basically the same, but the best selling and most marketable is Cochin Province.

At the same time, the Cochin people like to combine with white people and have mixed-race children, because mixed-race people have white skin and they don't particularly like their appearance.

The atmosphere of thin horses in Yangzhou has also been brought to Jiaozhi.

A few years ago, female slaves were not worth much, but the price of thin horses was extremely high, because foreign women couldn't speak Chinese.

In the past few years, the price has fallen, because everyone can speak Chinese, although there are few female slaves, but there are many gold worshippers, and they don't need to arrest people for training, so they come to spend money on training.

Moreover, the local people are extremely wealthy, which has created the current situation of a large number of mixed-race children.

The aesthetics of the local people also deviated, and gradually accepted the mixed-race children, and after three generations of mixed race, the appearance tended to the appearance of the Ming people.

Don't think that white people are good-looking, everyone often sees beautiful women and handsome guys, so they subconsciously think that they are good-looking, and there are many ugly people everywhere.

Beauty and money are always scarce resources.

Moreover, the smell of white women is unbearable for ordinary people, everything stinks, and it has to be covered up by a lot of perfumes.

Zhu Houlang stayed in Cochin for 22 days before departing for Bangladesh Province by boat to celebrate the New Year.

Bengal is the last province in the land of Baiyue.

From Cochin, take a sea boat, cross the Strait of Malacca, and pass through the Myanmar Sea to enter Bengal Province.

Bengal, the name is the ancient name of the local area, Daming translates as Bang Ge Ra, which is a transliteration, and it is translated into Bengal in Mandarin.

Bengal is also one of the farthest vassal states in the western part of the Ming Dynasty, referred to as Meng.

After the merger into the Ming Dynasty, the imperial court also took Bengal as the name of the new province, and the provincial governance was also in Dhaka, basically unchanged.

Moreover, Bangladesh is the only country with the largest number of Islamic followers among the 58 provinces of the Ming Dynasty.

Although the indigenous Bengali have been cleared, the faith has been preserved.

Bangladesh is a province with a large population, with a peak population of more than 200 million, but after West Bengal was assigned to the valley country, the population fell below 200 million, but there are still 180 million people.

Originally, the Ming Dynasty still had Calcutta in India, but all of them were assigned to the Valley Kingdom.

In the past few years, the imperial court has really regretted it, and it is a great loss to give the rich planting and cultivated land to the Gu country.

Bangladesh has the lower reaches of the Ganges River, which merges the Ganges River and the Brahmaputra River, and eventually flows into the sea.

The Ming Dynasty wants to set up a Beijing division at the mouth of the Ganges River, called Hengjing.

Don't look at the small territory of Bangladesh Province, but it is the most fertile area of the Ming Dynasty, and it is also one of the most important granaries of the Ming Dynasty and one of the areas that the imperial court attaches the most importance to.

Therefore, the imperial court wants to build a capital division.

The imperial court built three Beijing divisions in the entire land of Baiyue, and will also build a Beijing division in Borneo, a total of four Beijing divisions, which shows the importance of the imperial court.

The construction of this Hengjing has not yet set an address.

Some courtiers suggested that Dhaka should be promoted directly to the capital division, or use the largest trading port in Bangladesh, Chittagong.

But after the cabinet deliberated, it still felt that the new city would be built.

Both Dhaka and Chittagong are the most important cities in Bangladesh, and the purpose of establishing Xinjing is not to suck the blood of the whole province.

This Hengjing, since it is a new city, there is a lot of room for free play, the imperial court wants to follow the architectural style of the Han Dynasty, build an inner city, and then integrate the Indian style, build an outer city, and then integrate the style of Western countries, and build a city of all nations.

After the completion of Hengjing in the future, the urban style will be a tourist attraction.

The imperial court is expected to invest two billion yuan and complete it within 30 years.

There are also Islamic believers who proposed to build a holy city, which was also approved by the center, but the money needs to be raised by believers, and the imperial court can only contribute a small part.

For the sake of faith, there are many people who are willing to go bankrupt.

The money was quickly gathered.

The holy city, modeled after Jerusalem, was also the first to be built.

When Zhu Houlang arrived, the holy city was under construction, and the holy city was supposed to be the inner city, but the believers felt that the prosperous city would affect the Qing Dynasty, so they chose to build in the outer city of the outer city.

As a faithful believer in the Six Sects, Zhu Houlang generously donated his monthly income.

Except for the coastal cities, Bangladesh is basically a large agricultural province, except for straight highways and railways, it is almost a big tunzi.

However, the people who farm here do not cultivate their own land, but the company's land.

The new land contracting system, adopted in the 40th year of Jingtai, allows companies to contract land and engage in large-scale planting.

Because of whether the land is allowed to be contracted, the imperial court has quarreled for more than ten years, and they are worried that the land will be annexed, and the peasants will have no land in their hands, and the peasants will rebel.

Don't forget, the Ming Dynasty had already entered industrialization at that time, and the purpose of land contracting was to improve production efficiency, make farmers make more money, and improve the living standards of workers and peasants.

Isn't it nice for peasants to contract out their land and collect rent, while their laborers go to coastal cities to work and earn two jobs?

The court did not say anything about taking back the land.

It's just that before, contracting was not allowed, peasants were peasants, workers were workers, and there was a clear distinction, and even peasants were seriously discriminated against when they went to the city to work, and the imperial court did not support it.

Because industrialization was not complete at that time, and a large number of labor forces were not scarce, tying labor to the land was more conducive to the development of urban industrialization, and the countryside could provide sufficient food supply to the cities, the best of both worlds.

However, with the development of industrialization in full swing, machinery is manufactured in batches, and production efficiency is improved, so there is naturally no need for so much labor on the land, and factories are scarce of labor.

This is for policy reasons.

Therefore, in the 40th year of Jingtai, the imperial court directly issued a holy decree to allow land contracting, and encouraged the people to go to the city to work after contracting land.

Forty years after Jingtai, the gross national product is soaring, and the progress of industrialization is also soaring.

The reason is that the rural labor force has been untied.

It would have been a big mistake to encourage peasants to move to the cities, because the factories in the cities could not provide too many employment opportunities, and the peasants would have squeezed the living space of the workers, and eventually both of them would have no work.

What are the consequences of too much idle labor?

Disordered law and order, getting poorer, lazy and so on.

Therefore, the imperial court was very wary of peasants entering the city, until the forty years of Jingtai, the birth of the steam engine, and industrialization entered another stage.

The factory was renovated, and the steam revolution began vigorously.

Naturally, a large number of people are scarce.

The imperial court took advantage of the situation and encouraged the peasants to go to the city.

But the land must not be barren, and the law does not allow it.

Someone needs to take over.

The imperial court came up with a land contract policy, encouraging peasants to go to the cities to work and contract out rural land, and did not specify who to contract to, which could be contracted to relatives, large households, and companies, which was voluntary for the peasants.

As for the peasants who do not want to go to the city to work, in the past, a family of ten people would cultivate five hectares of land, and they could not get rich or hungry, but now that relatives and friends have gone to the city to work, they can rent the land in the form of lease, and my family will plant it.

In this way, the migrant workers in the city will have rich pockets, and the farmers who work at home will also have rich pockets, and they will win for both sides.

As for that kind of large company, it is not easy to go to the countryside to contract land.

Even in the forty years of Jingtai, the strength of the rural clan is extremely strong, if it does not go through the rural clan, outsiders will not be able to contract land and farm in a village, let alone capital, and the imperial court will not be able to.

Therefore, 55 years ago, Jingtai did not develop the reclamation company.

On the contrary, they are all big households in their own villages, buying land in batches, and then hiring local farmers to plant it, because everyone is close to each other and trusts each other.

It wasn't until 55 years after Jingtai that large companies began to buy land in the hands of large households, breaking the monopoly of land in the village.

The entry of capital is unstoppable by the people.

However, the imperial court was very wary of capital entering the land, fearing that after capital owned the land, it would have the capital to rebel if it mastered the grain.

Therefore, the imperial court continued to introduce policies to restrict capital control over land.

It can be said that while using capital to accumulate wealth, it is also guarding against capital from controlling land.

However, 60 years after Jingtai, capital suddenly crossed the policy, and its tentacles extended to the people, buying land on a large scale and engaging in corporate planting.

By the 65th year of Jingtai, 60% of the private land had fallen into the hands of capital, which exceeded the warning line.

In the sixty-sixth year of Jingtai, that is, this year, the imperial court suddenly controlled a lot of agricultural capital, killed more than a dozen, re-controlled the land back into the hands of the imperial court, and broke it all up, and restored the land contract ecology of Jingtai for 55 years.

At the same time, the imperial court issued a policy to prohibit capital from entering the land market for 30 years.

Daming is different from other countries.

The Ming people love the land more than any other person in the world, so the Ming people like to buy houses and like to stock up on houses.

The imperial court knew the temperament of the Ming people, so they had to control the land.

The current Ming Dynasty controls land, grain, water, minerals, electricity, and railways, which are the core of the Ming Dynasty, and no one is allowed to touch them.

On this point, the cabinet officials supported Zhu Jianxi.

Just like Bangladesh, in the past few years, it was the company that contracted the land.

This year, it has returned to its original shape, and the big households in the village have come to contract, prohibiting capital from entering.

The peasants applauded.

Because what virtue is capital? In the early stage, the low price monopolized the market, and in the medium term, the price was arbitrary, and the wool was vigorously picked, and the later stage was completely rotten until an industry was killed.

In the past few years, good policies were given to the peasants, so that the peasants could make a lot of money, which was more suitable than contracting to large households, so they contracted the land to capital.

However, in recent years, capital has continued to squeeze land rents, and there have been arrears.

The sweetness enjoyed by the peasants in the early stage will be returned sooner or later with interest.

This is the virtue of capital.

Zhu Jianlu made a move to let the land contract restore the original ecology, can the farmers who have suffered not applaud?

Those big families are also miserable.

Before, he forgot his righteousness and subcontracted the land to capital, but he just tasted the sweetness, and he couldn't even afford to eat for the past two years.

Because the capital crossed over to the big households, negotiated directly with the peasants, and kicked them out.

In the past few years, I was able to make money, but in the past two years, I have eaten soil directly, and some of them have been delivered to takeaways.

This time, the court made a move, and the big families also applauded.

As for whether the capital is high or not, Zhu Jianyu doesn't care about that, because everyone is dead, if he is not happy, he will go to Lord Yama to complain.

After Zhu Jianyu succeeded to the crown prince, restrictions on capital were everywhere.

Moreover, how many capitalists have been killed this year, from big capitalists to small capitalists, and even rich households who are unkind to the people, all of them cannot escape Zhu Jianxi's butcher's knife.

Then again.

At the beginning, when the Ming Dynasty occupied Bengal, the courtiers suggested that it should be divided, and the old emperor also wanted to divide it at that time.

However, after discovering that this land in Bengal was too suitable for cultivation, the Manchu Dynasty was civil and military, and unanimously agreed to keep it.

Facts have proved that this land supports two or three hundred million people in the Ming Dynasty.

With the development of science and technology, it is possible to feed more people in the future.

This is also the confidence of the four billion people of the Ming Dynasty.

In the future, after the successful construction of Hengjing, Bangladesh will also become a super-rich province like Cochin, and it is likely to surpass Lancang and Mekong provinces.

Because of the establishment of the Beijing Division, the imperial court will have to invest a huge amount of resources, and a steady stream of investment will create the economic take-off of Bangladesh.

Zhu Houlang celebrates the New Year in Bangladesh.

Here for the New Year, the flavor of Yijiao is very strong, as a devout Yijiao, Zhu Houlang is the first time to celebrate the Year of Yijiao.

His biggest feeling is that there is no pork, and the beef and mutton are really innocent and delicious.

There are many halal meat sellers in the country, which are basically opened by Iraqis, and this kind of meat is very popular in the local area, because it is definitely not adulterated with pork, and everyone can eat it with confidence.

As the third largest religion in the Ming Dynasty, it has about 720 million believers, including 200 million in Bangladesh.

Yijiao was brought into the Central Plains by Mongolia, and the Yijiao in the Western Regions and Central Asia was also brought by the Mongols.

Before the eighth year of Jingtai, the Daming Yi followers were mainly concentrated in the Hui people, and there were not many believers.

At that time, the emperor still did not believe it.

However, as the Ming conquered more and more regions, the number of Iraqis increased dramatically, and the emperor became a devout believer.

The whole royal family also believed.

The imperial court does not interfere with the faith, and even supports the faith to a certain extent, believing that the faith will persuade people to do good.

The imperial court generally doesn't care much about anything, the only thing that interferes is the scriptures!

The revision and issuance of the scriptures must go through the Zonglu Division, and if there is no seal from the Zonglu Division, it is resolutely not allowed to be printed and distributed, and once discovered, the writer is guilty of a capital offense, the person who publishes it is a capital offense, and the disseminator is exiled.

The title page of the Six Teachings Sutra must have a map of the Ming Dynasty, and the first sentence is to defend the territorial integrity of the motherland.

Before faith, it is a Ming person, there must be a country, a king, and an ancestor, and then faith.

In fact, this is contrary to the original tenets of Islam and Christianity, which are based on faith and then others.

But it is not allowed in Daming.

First are secular people, and then they are red dust guests.

In addition, the Ming Dynasty has no restrictions, and even the emperor is a loyal believer in the Six Sects, really faithful, and the central hall in the palace will be changed to six temples.

A few years ago, the old emperor often invited the great masters of the six sects to give lectures in the palace.

In recent years, the old emperor's health has become more and more poor, and the great masters of the six sects have taken turns to enter the palace to preach and pray for blessings to the old emperor.

Whether it is the abolished prince or the current prince, they are all devout believers in the Six Religions.

Therefore, the people of Bengal Province didn't feel that there was anything wrong with them at all, and the old emperor believed it, isn't it wrong for us to believe it?

The people of Daming didn't think anything was wrong, they wanted to eat pure beef and mutton, everyone went to halal to buy meat, and they were used to seeing the Yijiao, so they didn't feel any difference.

And the revised scriptures, the sects have not found anything unusual, after all, no one has seen the original scriptures, and the people who have seen them have died, and now they are all Jingtai sixty-six years old.

In the blink of an eye, it was the sixty-seventh year of Jingtai.

In the sixty-seventh year of Jingtai, Zhu Houlang was one year older, and the old emperor was one year older.

And the first month, which should be the most lively, is particularly deserted this year, because the grassroots officials are still being purged and people are still being arrested during the first month.

This kind of arrest has made the people very cold.

Especially the big hotels and hotels, they can't make money this year.

Because it is not the common people who usually come to consume, those who come to consume every year have been arrested and tortured, who can come out to eat?

This kind of big restaurant complained about the imperial court, but they didn't know that they were about to enter.

And the economy is a multi-bit domino, when something happens to the upper echelons, the big catering will not work, and the intermediate catering will also be affected, and then a series of the entire industrial chain will not work, and they will all encounter a cold winter.

It stands to reason that small catering has little impact, right?

No, it will have a big impact.

This is a chain, the upstream affects the midstream, the midstream affects the downstream, the upstream collapses, the downstream will also be cold, and the cold will collapse.

And that's the bubble.

Think about it, whose money are the officials greedy for?

The money of the imperial court, where does the money of the imperial court come from? Taxes paid by the common people.

Then corrupt officials consume in the private sector, so that the big catering makes money, the practitioners of the big catering, go to the intermediate catering consumption, and the intermediate catering practitioners go to the small catering consumption.

The same is true for other industries.

In the final analysis, it is the left hand to the right hand, and there is no real value created.

On the contrary, the court lost money, who will pay for this loss?

The common people pay the bill.

If the people lose taxes, they have to pay for the loss, which is equivalent to spending two dollars, but more than that.

Think again, where does the money go?

What about the corrupt officials, will they only consume at home? No, they will go abroad to spend, the money is squandered, it goes into other people's pockets, and the people have to pay for it.

The people don't seem to pay directly, but the money in their hands is worthless.

So, that's the bubble.

A benign economy is a virtuous circle of large catering to nurture Chinese catering, and Chinese catering to nurture small catering, and the money in this chain is clean money, which will form a virtuous circle.

There is also a deep logic in this.

The imperial court allocated money to the locality, which was used to build the locality, and the money was greedy, but to make an account, you need to borrow the money from the bank and roll it around the market before you can make an account.

In this, it involves the money in the bank, which comes out and goes back again, creating a bubble.

This money rolled around the market again, creating another bubble.

Eventually, it went back to the bank, and the bank did the accounting again, creating another bubble.

As for the money of corrupt officials, they need to enter the market, and if they can't go through formal channels, they have to go through illegal channels, and no matter what channels they have, they will definitely enter the market and wash them.

Then the money came out of the hands of corrupt officials and into the market, creating another bubble.

And what about the money invested by the imperial court, does it need to be returned?

Corrupt officials will take advantage of this time difference to repay their capital, and then borrow from the imperial court and the bank, they will definitely not take out their own money, and in the process, the corresponding money will be ineffectively circulated in the market, and I don't know how many bubbles will be blown.

And the damage to the market caused by these bubbles is huge.

Because of the bubble, who will pay in the end?

Whoever pays the tax pays.

Whoever has the deposit pays the bill.

Because the economic development is good, the imperial court has to print money, and once the money is printed, the water will come out twice, because the economy is good, the water will come out once, and the money will be printed out of the water a second time.

This water has invisibly caused the currency to depreciate, and in the end, the people will pay for it.

It seems to have created a temporary economic boom.

In fact, it has pitted the entire industrial chain, and this kind of false prosperity will only make one industry die, and by the way, it will empty the people's wallets.

In this way, it is impossible for money to flow without winners, because money exists objectively.

Who is the winner?

Big catering, bankers.

Who can make a big catering? It's definitely not the common people, they are already rich, and they make a big meal without losing money, and if they are rich, they will be richer.

Why do banks earn?

Because no matter how money circulates, banks are important players.

But the bank does not mean that it is the imperial court, even if the bank is publicly owned, the imperial court will not even be able to receive Mao.

Because bankers will try to find ways to exploit loopholes.

In other words, such false prosperity has created a number of corruption in other industries.

The court and the people are both at a loss.

In fact, it stands to reason that the imperial court can make a profit in the industrial chain, but you have to see who is operating in this industrial chain, will this kind of trader become a tax to be paid to the imperial court? Is there such a fool in the world?

At the end of the day, no matter what, it's all about fattening the powerful.

Therefore, false prosperity is beneficial to the powerful, and when they find that it is profitable, they will continue to blow bubbles, making the bubble bigger and bigger, and making more and more money.

In the end, I found that it was too slow to make money from entities, and blowing capital would make it bigger and bigger.

for they eat at both ends.

Regardless of whether the industry crashes or not, they can change careers when they have the money, or they can continue to blow the next industry.

Who's going to clean up the mess? The common people endured, and the court slowly cleaned up, and in the end, the more they cleaned up, the worse it became, so they simply cut off the industry and started all over again.

And what about the losses of the common people?

What does it have to do with the imperial court? Grab a few random people, it's over.

This is the logic of bubbles.
