Chapter 426: Fenglin Province, Canghai Province, Jugu Province, Luzon Province: Population Red Line

Zhu Houlang came out of Bengal Province and took a sea boat to Borneo.

Borneo, the third largest island in the world, is surpassed by Greenland, which is frozen all year round, and the island of New Guinea, which is the Song Kingdom.

For Borneo, the imperial court was a large island that was most worried about division.

The entire island is home to 600 million people.

As the second region with the second most tropical rainforests in the world, the first is the Amazon rainforest, and the second is the Borneo rainforest.

By the sixty-sixth year of Jingtai, the tropical rainforest had been almost destroyed.

All of them became rubber plantations and pepper plantations, and the spices of the Ming Dynasty were basically produced in Borneo.

The wetlands in the middle of the island have all been turned into rice cultivation areas.

Daming has always been not a waste of land, all that can be planted, and what cannot be planted is planted.

Over-cultivation has also brought serious environmental problems.

First of all, there is the large-scale extinction of wild animals, because the disorderly cutting of tropical rainforests has destroyed the living environment of animals, leading to the extinction of a large number of precious wild animals.

Since the beginning of Jingtai forty years, the imperial court has established a wildlife conservation association, but the effect is not significant, and there are not many wild animals rescued, mainly because the Ming Dynasty does not prohibit hunting.

There is no way to prohibit hunting in the Ming Dynasty, once hunting is banned, such as Borneo, Baiyue, Luzon, and Northeast China, there are often cases of wild animals hurting people.

Not to mention Borneo, no one was bitten to death by wild animals in any year, and it is common for crocodiles to be bitten to death.

The Ming Dynasty only banned hunting in a few inland provinces, such as Guizhou, Yunnan, Guangxi, and Baiyue provinces. The three provinces of Borneo, Luzon, the two northeastern provinces, Lena, the Yenisei provinces, and the fishing provinces are all allowed to hunt.

Second, the over-cultivation of cultivated land has led to desertification and rapid degradation of land fertility.

Thirdly, natural disasters are frequent, not like this in previous years, there have been sandstorms every year in the past two years, and I have never heard of sandstorms on the equator, but Borneo really has more and more disasters such as typhoons and hurricanes.

Last year, there was a drought and a locust plague, and even the interior did not see a locust plague, but because of pesticides, Borneo had a locust plague.

Due to over-cultivation, Borneo's population is about 200 million, but now 600 million people live.

Daming has actually entered the population red line a long time ago.

It's just that the expansion of the economy needs a population, so the imperial court has been encouraging fertility.

Moreover, the imperial court also had an ambition, that is, it wanted to be self-sufficient in food.

Daming is a country with many individuals and little land, and food self-sufficiency is simply unrealistic with the existing land, so it can only develop scientific and technological food, no matter what kind of food, it needs arable land.

With Borneo's current environmental situation, it is impossible to return farmland to forests or lakes to forests, and it is necessary to ban farming and protect land for more than three years before this problem can be alleviated.

In particular, plants such as rubber and palm are fertilizer suction machines, which are more powerful than corn, and the land is sucked for a few years, and other plants do not grow anything, and basically become waste land.

You have to use chemical fertilizers.

The perennial use of chemical fertilizers will make the land worse, don't think about fertility, it would be good if the land is not completely desertified.

In the current situation of the imperial court, the population is increasing year after year, and the world's population is increasing year after year, and it is unlikely that the ban on farming for three years will be impossible.

You have to eat, you have to feed the animals, you have to eat and eat meat.

Unless four billion people start to live as vegetarians and no longer eat meat, they will be able to protect land on a large scale and eat food.

It's completely impossible, Daming is a carnivorous country, and it is also omnivorous, and it eats everything.

In recent years, the imperial court has continued to invest funds in the Academy of Agricultural Sciences, and while researching and developing, it is also studying how to protect water and soil at the same time.

The problem of land degradation in Borneo has become a worldwide issue, as many vassal states are facing the same problem.

No matter how fertile the land is, it can't stand the imperial court's hard work, the traditional way of maintaining the land is useless, if it is useful, there will not be a lot of wasteland before the Jingtai Dynasty, the sand and dust are overflowing, so many deserts are formed in this way.

The world's population is already very large, but this has not yet reached the peak, it will reach a peak of 15 billion in the future, and then gradually decline, and the decline will be about 150 years, and the population will be 6 billion.

This is calculated by demographers.

In the three provinces of Borneo, the imperial court also changed its name.

Zhu Houlang landed on Borneo in Pontianak on the west coast, and when the Ming Dynasty newly occupied, it was called Yanzhou, but in the 65th year of Jingtai, it was renamed Fenglin Province, which was taken from the Ten Continents.

Because the longest river in Borneo was named Fenglin River.

Therefore, when the name was changed, Fenglin Province was used, referred to as Feng.

The Fenglin River, which is a polygonal line, is also the territory of the entire Fenglin Province, Ketamulia at the mouth of the East Sea, and Machen at the mouth of the South China Sea.

The whole of Borneo has never been developed at all.

What Bo mud and Brunei on it are just a group of outright natives who don't understand anything, and the history here is all brought by Western colonizers.

And in the history of China, the description of these countries is also uncivilized.

The Central Plains Dynasty has never ruled here, for many reasons, the point is that China has been a continental country since ancient times, and it is not interested in nearby islands, such as Ningbo, the Ming Dynasty does not want it, let alone Borneo so far away.

The second is the Central Plains Dynasty, which has limited transportation capacity and underdeveloped shipbuilding industry, and at most comes to send envoys, and there is no way to transport troops to occupy here.

In addition, the cost of ruling is too high, and the people here are not civilized.

The Jingtai Dynasty was able to rule here, which was closely related to the Industrial Revolution, and if there was no Industrial Revolution, even if it occupied the present, it would have been lost.

There is another factor, that is, the old emperor has money, and he used the silver of the Americas to smash this place.

Not to mention ancient times, later generations were developed and underdeveloped, and they were still very unfamiliar with Borneo, and they were very unfamiliar with the country of Indonesia, and the low sense of existence was one reason, and too far away was also a reason.

The Ming Dynasty was able to rule Borneo, and the luck factor took up more.

The old emperor was most worried about the coup d'état in Borneo, so he set up three naval governors, held each other hostage, with a total strength of millions and maintained hundreds of large ships.

The annual military expenditure will cost hundreds of millions!

Is this army useful? It's useless, but if there is no army here, once the Borneo incident occurs, the imperial court will definitely not deal with it in time, and then Borneo will be full of smoke, how to quell the rebellion?

Not only the navy, but also the army has the most in Borneo.

Borneo has the largest number of people in the world.

Because the old emperor was not worried about Borneo.

Let's just say that in the past two years, the imperial court has purged the officialdom, and Borneo has the smallest area of danger and the least arrest, is there no corrupt official in Borneo?

No, because Zhu Jianyu was also afraid that Borneo would suddenly rebel.

With a population of 600 million, it is too far away from the Ming Dynasty, especially from the capital division, once there is a rebellion, it will be a bad dish.

Even Zhu Jianyu has to be cautious about Borneo.

After the invention of the telephone, the three provinces of Borneo immediately built telephone lines, and they wanted to build telephone lines across the sea, pulling telephone lines from Fuzhou-Baozhou-Luzon-Borneo.

The imperial court spent more than 200 million yuan to build a telephone line across the sea, so that Borneo could talk directly to Beijing.

Although the quality is very poor, at least you can hear the sound.

I couldn't see it before, but this time I can at least hear it.

Along with telegraph technology, there is also telegraph technology.

The call quality is not good, just shoot the telegram directly.

The old emperor urgently carried out the electrical revolution, that is, he needed electricity, changed the world, and most importantly, connected the entire Ming Dynasty.

The fact that Borneo officials could hear the voice of the imperial court was also a deterrent.

Waiting for the electricity to become more and more mature, the future imperial court will no longer worry about this big island leaving Daming.

In order to better control Borneo, the imperial court built islands in the Yanhai Sea and used artificial islands to shorten the distance between Borneo and Borneo.

Borneo is 2,000 kilometers away from the mainland, and this continent, speaking of Guangzhou, is 2,000 kilometers, which is equivalent to Beijing to Fujian, which is too far.

In Guangdong Province, there is an unknown island called Natuna.

Here, it is 1,900 kilometers away from Guangzhou and only 225 kilometers away from Borneo.

Natuna, as the sealing island of the Yanhai Sea, with this island, the Yanhai Sea is perfectly sealed, forming an inner island chain.

It's not a small island, it's a big island with 2,000 square kilometers.

But this island was rowed away.

The island of Daming is not open to the outside world, no one knows, there are 200,000 navies stationed on it, once Borneo rebels, the naval governor of Natuna Island will receive an order to lead the army to Borneo to quell the rebellion.

The Natuna garrison, not to mention that Borneo does not know, except for the Military Aircraft Department, the Cabinet, and the Ministry of War, no one knows.

The imperial court wants to build a group of artificial islands in the Yanhai Sea, and even when conditions are available in the future, several islands with an area similar to Qiongzhou Mansion will be created.

In this way, Guangdong is not far from Borneo.

The whole Fenglin Province, with a population of 200 million and a permanent population of about 210 million, has a superior geographical environment, close to the Strait of Malacca, and faces Jiaozhi, Linyi and Xingguo across the sea.

The province is located in the city of Abbot, which is close to the direction of Malacca, and is named after the three immortal islands. (I can't find any cities on the map, Indonesia is too backward)

The city of Abbot is a delta rushed out of the Fenglin River, and its geographical location is similar to that of Bangkok, but the Fenglin River flows from east to west, so the city gate of the city of Fanglin City is open to the west.

The city, with a population of about 17 million, is the most populous city in Phong Lin Province.

Don't look at the large population of Fenglin Province, in fact, it is dominated by agricultural population, Fenglin Province is an important agricultural province in the country, and the industry has been developed since Jingtai 55 years, but it is relatively developed in coastal cities, and other regions are still underdeveloped.

There are three big cities in Fenglin Province, the three cities of Abbot, Buday, and Evil Wood, all of which are distributed in coastal cities.

The population of the three cities is more than 15 million, but it cannot exceed 20 million, entering the ranks of megacities.

It was not that it was underdeveloped, but that the imperial court was unwilling to invest resources on a large scale.

If Borneo is too rich, it is not conducive to rule.

The imperial court hoped to use developed provinces to attract Borneo people to work in the interior, otherwise Borneo would become one of the most developed provinces in the Ming Dynasty with its potential.

Zhu Houlang felt a very disconnected feeling in Borneo.

Coastal cities have the appearance of big cities, but when you go to small cities in the interior, they look underdeveloped, except for the complete infrastructure of roads and railways, there is nothing else, and the houses are not distinctive, the same, and relatively old.

Inland cities are only sustained by mineral resources.

Borneo is extremely rich in oil resources, and the roads in the land of Baiyue are all extracted from Borneo.

It is also rich in gold mines, aluminum mines, coal mines and so on.

The most interesting thing is that the imperial court does not support large-scale development and scientific development, but a small amount of development, which is enough for local self-sufficiency, so that the local people are not hungry and rich, and encourage them to come out and work.

The houses were all prepared for them, and the three cities of Abbot, Buday, and Evil Wood built enough for 200 million people to live.

But these people in small cities are frightened by the high housing prices, so they should go back to their hometowns and lie down honestly.

There are 4 billion people in the country, but there are 11 billion houses.

Housing prices haven't crashed yet, and it's definitely a miracle of the century.

Because someone is taking over.

There are 8 billion people in the world, 4 billion people in vassal countries, and if one billion people come back to buy houses, they can guarantee that housing prices will not collapse.

This is the game of drumming and passing flowers, as long as someone continues to play the drum in the back, then it will not collapse, unless the drummer is gone, and no one plays this game is terrible.

As long as the house is given financial attributes, the drumming will not stop, the bubble will blow bigger and bigger, and finally it will only collapse completely.

But don't worry, as long as you keep the housing prices in the megacity, because everyone has earned enough money, and the last ones to take over are leeks, who cares about the idea of leeks?

Housing prices in megacities have been preserved, at least the basic market will not be lost, it is enough.

Therefore, the rapid development of Daming in recent years, as a reservoir of real estate, has long lost the role of a reservoir, completely reduced to a tool for capital to make money.

Otherwise, the three cities will not build 200 million houses.

This is not pure and pure pit people, the house is built and deceived people to buy it, and whoever takes over is unlucky.

Because, the three big cities of Borneo can't carry a population of 60 million, and they don't even have job opportunities, so what can they do here? There is no place to make money.

Moreover, the resources of the imperial court are not inclined to Borneo at all, with a population of 15 million, because the population base is large, and the population of megacities is large, nothing more.

However, the imperial court did not restrict the construction of houses in the three cities.

Why?

Because people from small cities will empty their wallets when they come to buy houses in big cities, what will they do when they find that there are no job opportunities in the three cities, high prices and high housing prices, and they are not livable at all, and they are also carrying mortgages?

Come out to work.

If you can't make money when you go back to your hometown, there is only one way left, to work in the mainland.

As long as the imperial court comes up with two more favorable policies, they will obediently enter Guangzhou and Shanghai to work.

Will they go back to Borneo after a long time?

No, it won't.

The immigrants who worked hard at the beginning, after decades have passed, they have tried their best to let them come back, not because the court is stupid, but because the mission given by the times has changed.

It used to be to occupy Borneo, and now it is to own Borneo forever.

The return of population, the deepening of ties between the two places, and the marriage between each other, will make Borneo inseparable from the motherland, besides, Borneo has too many people.

Not only Borneo, but also the population of Baiyue is too much, so much that the imperial court is outrageous, and the population of these places is more than 1.5 billion, and some places have much more population than the inland provinces.

If there is no return, the imperial court is really worried about splitting.

After circling in Fenglin Province for more than ten days, Zhu Houlang took a train to Canghai Province east of the Fenglin River.

Canghai Province, referred to as Canghai, is located in Balikpapan, called Penglai, the name of the three provinces, corresponding to the name of the Three Immortals Island.

To the north, the province of Ju Cave is bounded by the Iban Mountains, with the highest peak being Mount Kinabalu at 4,102 meters above sea level.

The population is also 200 million.

The development of the three provinces was relatively even, because the policies of the imperial court were all the same.

When Zhu Houlang inspected Borneo, he was also inspecting the location of the construction of the Beijing Division, and the imperial court wanted to establish the Beijing Division in the middle of the three provinces.

However, the three provinces are divided by the Iban Mountains, which are not suitable for the construction of large cities.

The construction of the new capital city will siphon the population of the three provinces, the future political and economic center of Borneo, and the imperial court will have to invest a lot of resources.

And if it is located in the coastal area, it will certainly not be able to border the three provinces at the same time.

Zhu Houlang wanted to inspect the location of the new capital city on the spot.

Daming is expected to determine the site within five years, and then start building the capital, which is expected to be completed within 30 years, siphoning a population of more than 30 million, and will be the largest city in Borneo in the future.

However, it is not the best location to build a capital built between mountains and mountains, and the resources are relatively poor.

After Zhu Houlang circled in Canghai Province for a few days, he went north to Jugu Province, referred to as Yingzhou, which governs Yingzhou with a population of 200 million.

The three provinces of Borneo are highly consistent.

From the urban style, to the demographic composition, the proportion of workers and peasants, all are highly consistent, and even the aesthetics are relatively similar.

Borneo likes its true colors, and women also prefer to go out to exercise, and they are tanned by the sun, but they are not inferior at all, and feel that their true colors are the most beautiful.

Borneo is the least mixed-race, and everyone gets tanned and feels healthy.

It stands to reason that the weather here is so hot, people should be very lazy, in fact, the natives are lazy, but the people of Borneo are all Ming people who moved from Tiannan to the north and south, and they are basically the second children of the common people.

The second child in the family is relatively unlucky, and when the eldest is born, the parents can still love for a few years, but after the second child comes, the parents have no time to love their children, but seize the time to make money, and when they have the energy, they will love the old one.

Therefore, the second child is very embarrassed, he has not been loved by his parents since he was a child, and all the work at home is borne by the second child, when he was a child, he coaxed his younger brothers and sisters at home instead of his parents, and when he was older, he went to work in the field, and when he was waiting for his parents to retire and take over, he couldn't take the second child.

The second oldest in the country has moved to Borneo.

They injected the DNA of hard work into the land.

The second and third generations are more diligent, and they are also major sports provinces, with the most marathons every year, the provinces with the most sports talents, the most military members, and the most amateur races.

It is precisely because they like sports that they don't care about getting tanned, they prefer their true colors and pursue health.

The three provinces of Borneo are located above the equator, so it stands to reason that they should be very short in height.

In fact, in the three provinces of Borneo, the average height of men is around 173, and the average height of women is around 158.

This average height is more than all provinces and even all countries at the same latitude.

Reasonable exercise can grow taller.

Similarly, there are many local problems, and there are many places in the Iban Mountains where marijuana is secretly grown.

There is a folk rumor that the raw materials for drugs in the Pamirs come from Borneo.

This time to build the Beijing Division, it is inevitable to destroy all the drug dens.

In the sixty-fifth year of Jingtai, the central government issued an order to eliminate all drugs in Borneo.

After staying in Yingzhou for a few more days, Zhu Houlang went directly east to Luzon Province.

The province of Luzon, or Song for short, has a population of only 120 million, and because Luzon is incomplete, even after exchanging land with the opposite state of Shen, the territory is not enough to support a province.

In the entire province of Luzon, the three Baozhou Prefectures are so big, unless the Baozhou Prefecture is assigned to Luzon, Luzon is beginning to take shape.

However, after a period of time, the court drew back.

However, the NSQD and the Zhongsha Islands in the Yanhai Sea were assigned to Luzon.

In the future plan of the Ming Dynasty, NSQD and Zhongsha Islands will build two large islands, especially NSQD, which will build an island about the same size as Luzon Province.

Of course, the plan for an artificial island will not be realized until a hundred years later.

The current technology is not yet capable of large-scale island building.

At least a big pie was drawn for Luzon.

In fact, the location of Luzon is not good, in the earthquake zone, Japan-Ryukyu-Luzon-Xiguo-Heguo, all in the seismic zone.

Earthquakes and tsunamis are frequent.

It is also a province with many disasters in the Ming Dynasty.

The imperial court was not worried about the rebellion of Luzon Province, because Luzon, unlike Borneo, was too far away from the mainland, and the Baozhou Mansion was close to him, and there was a garrison in the Baozhou Mansion.

Second, Luzon does not have the natural environment for rebellion.

It is sandwiched by islands dotted around, and the Ming Dynasty controls a few, so there is no way to rebel.

Therefore, the imperial court was more inclined to the politics of Luzon, and the three provinces of Borneo immigrated to Luzon, and the imperial court was more supportive.

The province governs Manila, and the Ming Dynasty is called Xuanzhou.

The name Manila has no historical origin, and the history of Luzon, except for the injection of the Central Plains Dynasty, is basically a product left over from the colonial period.

The old emperor hated the natives of Luzon so much that he once ordered a massacre.

So, in the whole of Luzon, and all the nearby islands, there were almost no natives left, because the imperial court was not allowed to admit natives, including women.

To be honest, when the Ming Dynasty occupied Luzon, the soldiers couldn't stand this kind of indigenous woman anymore, because they didn't take a bath.

The people who immigrated to Luzon were also the second eldest in the people's families.

But Luzon, as the gateway province of the Ming Dynasty to the United States and the Pacific, they do not pursue a healthy complexion, but like white to the extreme.

The sun in this place is scorching, it is normal to be tanned, and people's skin color is also relatively dark.

Even if the Han Chinese immigrated, they could not get rid of the water, soil and sun, and the people naturally changed in the direction of Southeast Asian races.

Skinny, small, black and earthy, this is the template of Southeast Asian races.

It stands to reason that there should be no Southeast Asian races in the Jingtai Dynasty, they are all Ming people, but after the Ming people moved here, they actually developed in the direction of Southeast Asian races.

Fortunately, with the exception of Vientiane province, the height of other provinces did not plummet.

It must have gotten dark.

The weather is hot and it will definitely be thinner, but the Jingtai Dynasty has begun to take thinness as beauty, and handsome guys and beauties are all thin for beauty.

This was not available before the Jingtai Dynasty, and it was all about fat as beauty.

A fat man walking on the street means that this person eats well, must be rich, and unmarried girls are willing to marry this kind of person.

Looking at the pictures of generals in ancient times, they all have general bellies and are fat, which shows that the aesthetics of the ancients were to be strong and beautiful.

Beauty is the same, not fat or thin is the essence, however, the fat are more marketable, because they are blessed, because they can give birth to a son, because there will be no danger after giving birth to a son.

But now the mainstream aesthetic is thin, and the thinner you are, the better you look when you wear clothes.

Because now that people's living conditions are better, it is the poor who eat a lot of fat, and the rich people control their diets, strengthen exercise, and are all very thin and stylish.

After the development of medicine, there is no need to worry about dying in childbirth, thin and tall, natural clothes racks, and good looking in clothes.

The aesthetic is naturally formed.

The most important thing is that the actors in the stage play, in order to look good, these actors are desperately trying to lose weight, and they are as thin as hemp sticks, and the people gradually regard thinness as beauty.

Therefore, the skinny Luzon people have an advantage in this regard.

But I can't help it.

Yellow people are prone to tanning.

In fact, white people are tanned when they get a tan.

Luzon people pursue the ultimate white, so they play like a fateful fusion, men are crazy to marry white women, and there are also women who are crazy to find white people to have children, but this kind of child will be despised.

Ming people can play with white women casually, and if Ming women play white men, they will be spurned.

Even if the world is already very enlightened.

If a Ming girl marries a white man, she will be discriminated against to the extreme.

The white men of the Ming Dynasty, those with official positions and legitimate occupations, had to spend a lot of financial resources to marry Ming women, and their social status was better.

And those white men at the bottom of society, their wives are all black women.

The second generation, mixed-race men with social status in the middle of the stream, who look more bright, will not be discriminated against in the blind date market, but are very popular with girls;

Those who look white will be discriminated against, but they can spend a high bride price to marry a Ming girl, or they can marry a white girl without spending money.

And the kind of black and white mixed race, their parents have a low social status, and the second generation basically marries each other, and they form their own small circle.

The third generation, understanding that the third generation of mixed blood, in the blind date market, is more popular than bright men and women, because the three generations of mixed blood concentrate the advantages, and the advantages and disadvantages are particularly prominent, some are very good-looking and some are ugly.

The third generation of mulatto is no longer so discriminated against.

Because the first generation of blacks is really too dark, the second generation is lighter, and the third generation becomes brown, so they have white brains and strong physical fitness.

This kind of person is super popular in the middle-aged and elderly market, and the happiness of rich women has made them.

The fourth generation, the most popular in the blind date market, is a mixed race of black, white and yellow, and has become the most popular among all Ming people.

However, for a region like Luzon, which pursues white skin to the extreme, they don't like the mix of black, white and yellow, so they like to mix with white skin.

People in Luzon tend to look more European.

When Zhu Jianyu passed through Luzon, he found this problem, Jingtai 65 years, asked Luzon Province to establish correct values, people's skin color does not determine everything, not white skin is good-looking.

The imperial court even suspected that Luzon had ambitions to split the Ming Dynasty.

In this purge, Luzon is the second most ruthless place.

Almost from top to bottom, it was caught in one go.

If people look different, how can they be said to be people from one country?

The imperial court was extremely sensitive in this regard.

Those mixed-race children, after several generations of mixed race, are biased towards the appearance of the Ming people, but Luzon Province is getting whiter and whiter, and the race has changed, isn't this a trouble.

The imperial court also rectified the blind date market in Luzon, many of them were married agencies, killed a number of them, and relocated several large factories in Luzon Province to the interior, so that the people of Luzon could move to the interior, so that they could mix with the mainlanders and change their appearance back.

In addition, several large factories that were expected to decide to invest in Luzon have also canceled their plans.

This incident really touched the sensitive nerves of the imperial court.

Zhu Houlang also found a problem, the people of Luzon Province always emigrated to Shen State, and after digging deeper, they found that they were all rich families.

When these people found that the situation was not good, they ran to Shen Guo on a large scale.

Shen Guo dared to accept it.

Daming forcibly claimed a few islands from Shen State, which is equivalent to what Daming owes to Shen State, and Shen State has no ambition to fight for hegemony, as the closest neighbor of Daming and the easiest country to be annexed, this time he dares to dance on the tightrope, which is really powerful.

After spending a few days in Xuanzhou, Zhu Houlang visited several large cities in Luzon.

Luzon, like Borneo, does not have a megacity, Xuanzhou was a megacity a few years ago, but with the relocation of factories to the interior of the imperial court, the population fell below 20 million, and will continue to fall in the future.

Head north from Luzon and enter Baozhou.

Baozhou Mansion is Xiaoliuqiu.

The Great Ryukyu is the Ryukyu Kingdom.

In the 40 years since the Ming Dynasty developed Baozhou Mansion, the population of Baozhou Mansion is 40 million, and it is no wonder that Luzon and Fujian robbed it.

Fujian, as a famous poor province in the Ming Dynasty.

On the side of Jiangsu and Zhejiang, but there is no life of Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and there is nothing to do except greed.

As the closest province to the most developed area of the Ming Dynasty, it is very, very embarrassing, and Fujian people can only smile bitterly and talk about their own history, how brilliant Quanzhou once was.

Before the Ming Dynasty, Quanzhou was the most prosperous port in the world, and there was no one.

The reason for the decline is directly related to the ban on the Daming Sea.

It is also directly related to the relocation.

During the Southern Song Dynasty, the capital was in Hangzhou, and the nearest Quanzhou must have been a benefit of distance.

By the Yuan Dynasty, the Yuan Dynasty had maritime transportation, and Quanzhou did not decline.

After entering the Ming Dynasty, the sea ban made Quanzhou decline, and there was a major reason, that is, the capital was moved to Beijing, which created the rise of the canal, Quanzhou was too far away from Beijing, coupled with the rise of Guangzhou, Guangzhou replaced Quanzhou in all directions.

Because, the trade of the Ming Dynasty to the Japanese state, because of the war between the Japanese and the Japanese state, was zero, and even the trade with the Japanese was canceled.

Trade was mainly with Europe, West Asia, Central Asia, and South Asia.

Guangzhou's location has the advantage of being closer and more advantageous than Quanzhou.

Therefore, Guangzhou rose and Quanzhou declined.

After the opening of the sea in the Jingtai Dynasty, the old emperor invested hundreds of millions of dollars in Quanzhou, wanting to build Quanzhou into the second largest port in the East.

But when Jingtai was forty-four years old, it was determined to fail.

In the past, Daming was a land country with scarce ports, but now Daming is a maritime country, and there are many ports, and Quanzhou is very geographically remote, no matter where you go.

In particular, the rise of Luzon, Borneo and Malacca is more superior than Quanzhou, and even if the policy supports, Quanzhou can't do others.

As for trade with the United States and the Pacific, isn't it fragrant to start from Japan, Korea, Ryukyu, and Luzon?

No matter how bad it is to start from Baozhou Mansion, why develop Quanzhou?

Therefore, Quanzhou did not develop.

As a result, the economic center of gravity of Fujian Province was also placed in Baozhou Prefecture, and Quanzhou was also abandoned.

Zhu Houlang landed on the island and felt the ultimate prosperity.

The imperial court is not stingy with Baozhou Mansion, and the center of gravity of Fujian's development is also here, and it is developing very well.

Fujian's total population is only 120 million, and Baozhou Prefecture alone accounts for 40 million.

Zhu Houlang picked a few big cities to take a good walk.

Back to the center.

Just after the New Year, it was the sixty-seventh year of Jingtai.

Zhu Qiyu fell ill.

I fell ill in the first month, and it has been a month, and I haven't seen any better.

Zhu Jianyu personally served the decoction.

"Fourth, have you thought about the reform?" Zhu Qiyu is even older than last year, eighty-nine years old, the longest-lived of all emperors in all dynasties.

However, with the development of the medical revolution, it is not normal not to live to be 120 years old.

Especially with the rapid development of modern medicine.

As long as there is money, people can live in pain.

Zhu Qiyu can live to nearly ninety with his willpower, and with the use of technology, he can live to be 130 years old without any problem.

However, where do you dare to use these technologies for the emperor?

"Dad, don't worry about the previous dynasty." Zhu Jianyu sighed, it is really difficult to deepen reform.

The Manchu Dynasty, both civil and military, was almost all opposed.

It is okay to purge and purge it, but it is not possible to deepen reform.

It's okay to shout slogans, but it's not okay to really change them.

This kind of purging, isn't it just a change of people, a change of soup without a change of medicine, and after a few years, it will return to the original state, and next time it will not be so smooth.

In fact, he doesn't want to leave a mess for future generations, but reform is really difficult.

"I can't worry about it, if something happens to you, how can the country continue."

Zhu Qiyu opened his eyelids: "Your father and I can't stay up for too long, the only thing I'm not worried about is Ling, I taught you wrong, and I shouldn't let you use the knife." ”

"Dad, my son knows it." Zhu Jianyu didn't want to stimulate him.

After the old emperor sleeps peacefully.

He just left the Palace of Nourishing Heart and returned to the East Palace to deal with government affairs, and as the old emperor fell ill, he was not in a good mood, as if the pillar had fallen.

The old emperor is indeed useless, but he is the spiritual pillar in everyone's hearts, including him Zhu Jianyu.

As if the old man is here, he has confidence.

Now the pillar is shaking, and he feels uncomfortable.

The imperial doctor said that the old emperor ran out of oil and dried up, and I am afraid that he will not be able to survive this year.

Recently, my condition has been getting worse and worse, and I can't walk anymore, and my legs hurt badly when I was helped to walk a few steps, and I hurt in many places on my body, so I had to take analgesics.

It's just that the mind is still quite clear, and the thinking is not confused.

Zhu Jianyu exhaled a breath of turbidity: "Go and announce Li Dongyang." ”

As soon as Li Dongyang heard the prince's separate edict, he shuddered, and he wanted to reform again?

Hesitantly entered the East Palace.

"The political envoy of Jiaozhi is sparse again, and he splits Jiaozhi."

"It's imperative to look at it alone, don't procrastinate any longer, directly split Jiaozhi, split the transaction toe province and Linyi province."

"Also, the Jingshi of Borneo has also been chosen."

"In the area where the two rivers intersect, the terrain here is not very good, and Canghai Province in the east is not bordered, but it doesn't hurt, it is about 200 kilometers away from Canghai Province in a straight line, either it is divided into a few counties, and it is bordered, or it is directly connected to a special train, and the money is spent."

Zhu Jianyu said: "The name is all thought of, just Yanjing." ”

"The descendants of Yanhai, Yanjing, and Yanhuang." Li Dongyang breathed a sigh of relief, as long as he talked about political affairs.

"Let the Ministry of Industry plan as soon as possible, then stock up on timber and start building the city."

"In previous years, wood was cheap."

"In recent years, the world's timber has been cut down, and the price of timber has skyrocketed, so don't move the trees planted in Borneo to see if there are any forests that can be put there, and if you don't have them, go abroad to buy them."

Although the Ming Dynasty is cutting down forests, it is also planting trees.

For planted trees, it is only on the mind that a cutting license can be issued.

It normally takes 50 years for a licence to be issued.

However, last year, a batch was distributed, many trees were cut down, and in the spring of this year, there were sandstorms in Beijing, and there were sandstorms throughout the north.

In recent years, because the water and soil protection in the mainland is very good, sandstorms have become rare.

The Ming Dynasty planted trees all over the Mongolian Plateau, and also artificially raised the Mongolian Plateau, using the Mongolian Plateau to resist the cold current from the Arctic Ocean into the interior.

Last year, due to deforestation, the newly planted small trees could not withstand the hurricane, and a sandstorm occurred.

The Cabinet did not issue a logging license this year.

This has led to the price of timber rising again, and international timber prices are soaring.

"Timber can be imported from Northern Europe, and Northern Europe is short of money and will definitely be willing to sell it."

Li Dongyang said: "The bricks and stones are made of local materials, and a few more Guancheng will be built, after all, the capital is built here, how to defend the Guancheng without repairing it?" ”

Zhu Jianyu looked at the map and frowned slightly: "In modern warfare, do you still need to guard the city?" ”

"Your Highness, wars in any era need to be defended, and defense requires the closure of the city." Li Dongyang is very stubborn.

Zhu Jianyi didn't take this matter: "The officialdom of Borneo, is it just like this?" ”

"Your Highness, the old minister does not pity them, but is worried that Borneo will break away from the Ming Dynasty."

Li Dongyang said: "Local officials have a complicated relationship with the locals, and each place is its own world. ”

"The Ming Dynasty rules the place, and it also depends on these people."

"Unlike other places, the army drove over, and those who should be killed were killed, and those who should be exiled were exiled, and it was solved."

"Borneo is too far away from the mainland, and it is close to Jiaozhi, but Jiaozhi has only been soft for many years, and the imperial court is still worried that Jiaozhi will break away from the Ming Dynasty."

"The Ming garrison has the most troops near Borneo."

"I'm worried about the Borneo rebellion."

Zhu Jianyu was a little angry, but he was helpless.

"Today, I calculated an account, and it should cost 1.1 billion to set up an undersea telephone line, but the actual cost is 2.3 billion, and there is a ghost in this money without asking, hum."

"Gu asked Dongchang to check it, and after a light check, he found Jugu Province."

"With so much money, if you say you are greedy, you are greedy, and you are still rushing to this outlet, is it provoking Lonely? What about the provocation center? What are they going to do? ”

"Binzhi, Lone can't bear it anymore, seeing that the embezzler is close in front of him, but he can't catch it, Lone is uncomfortable!"

Zhu Jianxi's eyes were sharp: "I want to go my own way once, what do you think?" ”

Li Dongyang knew that if Zhu Jianyu made up his mind, he would definitely do it, and no one could stop him.
