Chapter three hundred and fifty first mixing
The old office of the Eastern Military Palace, the last building with traces of Spain in the entire Mexico City.
The stained glass window on the side wall of the second floor was half open, and the long columns made of square stones raised up layer upon layer of arch ribs, making Ye Mengxiong, who was tilted to contemplate and distracted, dizzy.
He drank raspberry juice to relieve heat. The East Asian subsidy was suitable and very comfortable for Mr. Ye. Only for the entire Europa, there were many difficult things, which made him feel helpless about his six-year term in the future.
Not long after he arrived, Ye Mengxiong had already started to miss homesickness.
However, if we put aside the Europa countries, he is even more optimistic about the prospects of this vast land than Chen Mu. He has even recently entered the work status of the Minister of the East and made a five-term plan, asking Chen Mu to submit it to the emperor for a review when he returned to Beijing to report his duties.
The five-term plan is nothing else, but only two things are related to the court. One is to let the court vigorously encourage childbirth, and the other is to send no less than 20,000 elite imperial Beiyang troops to Asia during the term of office of each East Asian minister to replace retired veterans.
After all, the Ming Dynasty's Asia still needs to be protected by the Ming people.
During the term of five ministers of the East, the newly grown generation will become the best immigrants under the increasing popular education of the empire year by year, filling the population gap in Asia until the land is completely digested.
Chen Mu is of course very much in agreement with such a plan. Today, the population of the Ming Dynasty is not enough compared to the vast land.
When they established the Nanyang Military Prefecture, they had a large population, but after they opened up the new Mingzhou, they were almost intrigued. Now there are the vast worlds of East Asia and North Siberia, which require huge manpower to be invested.
The local people are not as reliable as the people on the land under the Western Military Palace.
Of course, the native people in the East and the North are unreliable. From the perspective of the ruler, Chen Mu actually, both the native people in Asia and the native people in the North and the native people in the North are very, very normal ordinary people.
It is abnormal to be under the jurisdiction of the Western Military Palace.
Their civilization is too mature, and there is no one in the world who has been enslaved, so that Yin Zhengmao of the Western Military Palace does not have to spend any effort. As long as the chiefs of various departments realize that people who grow up like him are superior to them, have the ability to kill them, but keep them doing things, they can rule safely for ten thousand years.
By the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty, this system had lasted for three thousand years, and this set of caste theory developed to the point where it was self-justified, deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and unbreakable.
Yin Zhengmao could do anything, but the only thing was that he could not touch this caste system, and he would not touch it. The chiefs of each state would not care about what they looked like... In fact, they all looked the same and could all be good tax-protecting officials for the Ming Dynasty.
The Western Military Government has a lot of revenue every year, with the least investment and the most output.
But if it touched - Yin Zhengmao had submitted an in-depth analysis of this matter to the court, his original words would cause chaos in that land.
If you want to find an analogy, you can use the Ming people to compare it.
Because it is both civilized and mature, there is also a system that is deeply rooted in people's hearts.
A poor citizen who sees you as a magistrate, a royal relative, and respects you from the bottom of his heart. If you care about his meal, he can accept it as a cow and horse for you or even sacrifice for you.
As long as he leaves a gap, he will not take the imperial examination in his entire life, even if he does not take the imperial examination in his life, it is enough to have such a gap.
Because he knew that even if he was a cow and a horse for the rest of his life, he would still have the opportunity to send his son to study and take the imperial examination and to glorify his ancestors.
Marx said in "Das Kapital": The more a ruling class can absorb the most outstanding figures in the ruling class, the more its rule is, the more sinister it will be.
The implication is that the more sinister this rule is, the harder it is to overturn, because it creates upward space for most people and gives hope.
Close the imperial examination in ancient China, which is a gap in ancient China, will inevitably lead to chaos in the world.
Its root is that since Qin State took out the nobles to auction, whoever killed more people would be the nobles, so that the people after the unification would no longer believe in the natural style of the nobles.
The land under the rule of the Western Military Palace is just the opposite. People's room for growth is not in the present and the next life, but also gives hope, even greater than the imperial examination.
The upward space in the next life is not as good as the imperial examination. It is not necessarily the case, but the talent is inevitable. If you are a cow or a horse in this life, you will inevitably have a variety in the next life.
Hierarchy is accompanied by humans, but for three thousand years, it has been continuously enslaved by an alien race completely different from itself and accepted by enslaved people living on magical lands to become the world's well-deserved first in the field of enslaving.
This system has now facilitated the Ming Dynasty, but it also has great disadvantages.
It is basically impossible to expect them to do something else. As untouchables, their rules determine that they will work for others in their lives, so everyone is asking for a good man and a Matthew in the next life. If you let us be an individual in this life, I'm sorry.
The good things that you will be a normal person will disappear in the next life.
To be honest, in terms of class solidification and maintaining class barriers, the caste system is more advanced than the hierarchy in the capitalist environment of the 21st century.
Hey, awesome!
People in other places are not as abnormal as them, so there is no way to rely on immigration and treat everyone equally.
It is simple to treat everyone equally, with only one hidden requirement, that is, you have to choose the same way of survival as me, without a tribe, without a leader, and obeying the government, no one will be discriminated against.
Having said that, Zhao Shizhen walked into the yamen and conveyed Shi Xiaolou's thoughts to Chen Mu, making Chen Mu and Ye Mengxiong look at each other, with exaggerated smiles on his face.
"Why didn't I expect it? Shi Xiaolou has an idea!"
But Chen Mu thought that what he thought was not far enough. Tens of thousands of coffins and 200,000 to 300,000 shrouds were far from enough.
"But it was a merchant who underestimated the destructive power of the war."
Chen Mu shook his head and said to Ye Mengxiong: "When I go back, I ask the court to pay for it, buy all the forests suitable for forest farms in Shandong from the people at high prices, collect them from the country to plant trees, and plant them with 500,000 Paulownia trees."
Paulownia is a tree that is very suitable for making coffins. It has a fast ingredient and has a diameter of two feet in six or seven years. It is most suitable for making coffin boards.
Especially this time of success is the same as the term of office of the Minister of the East, which is very suitable.
Zhao Shizhen was frightened: "Thirty or five hundred thousand is still a small amount? What do you think will become in the future?"
It’s not that he believes whatever Chen Mu says, but that Chen Mu’s judgment has been very accurate for a long time, and he believes this time is no exception.
"War will bring death, but the reason for death is not just because of war, let alone... Philip wants to do a great thing to unify the world."
"In history, there is no dynasty that has not been chaotic for twenty or thirty years. The vassal states in the late Tang Dynasty were divided, the five dynasties and ten countries, and the 80 years of chaos and wars and slaughtered countless cities. You don't know how many people survived in the early Song Dynasty?"
