Zhu Cican nodded, and then said to Teng Ye: "Take him away! Don't embarrass yourself here."
"yes!"
Teng Ye hurriedly dragged Muto Masamune away from here.
Tada Rong also followed and said: "What a danger! I thought they would kill Muto-kun directly."
"The second prince has always been kind-hearted, how could he kill someone for no reason?"
As Teng Ye spoke, he continued to reprimand Masamune Muto: "You, today, you have committed a crime in the hands of His Highness the Second and His Highness the Fifth. If you were the eldest son of the Emperor, you would have been captured and tortured."
Muto Masamune sneered: "How can they be kind-hearted? They just don't bother to deal with me, an ordinary Japanese foreign student, in person, because without them taking action, their dogs will take the initiative to deal with us. This has long happened in Edo However, once there is even the slightest disrespect to the Celestial Empire, the shogunate will deal with it first without the people of the Celestial Dynasty coming forward! Sometimes the people of the Celestial Empire will even feel aggrieved and say that it has nothing to do with them and that they have no intention of retaliating against the other party. And expressed confusion and regret about the behavior of the shogunate!"
boom!
Teng Ye directly kicked Muto Masamune and knocked him to the ground: "Shut up! I saved you with good intentions, but I dared to ridicule us people. If I don't reprimand you for your highnesses, what do you think?" Can you live? They kill us Japanese as if they were killing dogs! Listening to what you mean, we are still traitors and seek glory. We want to be kings, are we traitors to our country and seek glory?"
"Isn't it? Don't you look like dogs?!"
With the support of Tada Ei, Muto Masamune stood up from the ground, asked a vicious question, and said: "You will only act like a vicious god in front of your own people!"
Teng Ye couldn't help but point at Masamune Muto, and was so angry that he was breathing rapidly: "You'd better be smarter. Although I can't deal with Akito, it's very easy to deal with you!"
But Teng Ye finally felt that there was no need to waste words with Masamune Muto, so he quickly left here.
However, not long after, Teng Ye came back quickly and said to Muto Masamune: "Do you know that respecting China is a traditional virtue of our Yamato people. The reason why we have been invaded by the Celestial Empire in recent years is because of Feng Feng During Hideyoshi’s time, it was not unreasonable not to be respectful to the Celestial Empire!”
"Sooner or later you will understand! Even if I tell you this now, you will not understand, but sooner or later you will understand how big the gap is between the Japanese country and the Celestial Empire that you are thinking about. When you are completely desperate, you will know that only complete Chineseization can make people My only way out for Yamato!”
Then, Teng Ye said a few more words, and then turned and left here.
…
"It was interesting just now. I met a Japanese man who actually spoke for the people of his country and directly expressed his dissatisfaction with the Ming Dynasty's actions of oppressing his Japanese country. If he was a Han, I planned to let him be my friend, but presumably, he Now they only think of me as a robber."
When Zhu Cizhuo came to see Zhu Ciwei, he talked about his meeting with Masamune Muto.
Zhu Ciwei therefore asked: "Did you go to the second child's place?"
"That's right, I won't hide it from you. He is the second brother after all, so he still has to go there for his birthday."
Zhu Cizhuo replied.
"He really has no national thoughts. As long as he is a scholar, he will make friends with Japanese people! I guess he won't kill that person if you mention it. If it were me, I would definitely get rid of him!"
Zhu Ciwei replied.
"You don't have to worry too much. My second brother knows what's appropriate! But now that I've mentioned this, do you think there are really those ignorant people in Ming Dynasty who would support Japanese independence for the sake of benevolence, regardless of the interests of the country and the country?"
Zhu Cizhuo asked.
"We do not rule out those who ignore the interests of the Han family and only pursue benevolence. Most of these people will demand absolute equality, absolute freedom, and benevolence without distinguishing between ourselves and the enemy, just like farmers and snake farmers! They are also influenced by Buddhism and believe that There is equality in the world, and every plant and tree should be treated with affection."
Zhu Ciwei replied accordingly.
"I'm too lazy to worry about these things. Anyway, I will do whatever the court tells me to do. I just want to be a happy prince."
Zhu Cizhuo raised Erlang's legs, patted the edge of his robe, and said.
Zhu Ciwei laughed: "You can't be free. Didn't you remember what the emperor said? If there is another country besides my Ming Dynasty, then that country can only be the country of our own family. The civilization is the same and the blood is the same. , and are willing to abide by a rule, even if you cannot become the monarch of my Ming Dynasty, you will be arranged to go overseas to establish a country like my second uncle in the future."
"Establishing a country overseas?"
Zhu Cizhuo asked.
Zhu Ciwei nodded: "Yes."
Zhu Cizhuo said no more.
…
"That's right, we need to allow more royal families, vassals, and even nobles to go overseas to establish a country! I am still worried about a country that was not built by my own family. There are always some people from foreign races who want to gain national independence, so they must first destroy their political power. , and then re-establish the Han country, there is no need for some princes to inspect it again, just send them all out."
A few days later, Zhu Youxiao also began to discuss the matter with his assistant minister.
Most of the princes in Beijing who were watching became nervous because of this.
For a prince who covets the throne, going overseas to establish a kingdom means missing out on the throne.
Therefore, many of the princes among them were very nervous.
"Yes! I wonder which princes to send?"
Liu Hongxun asked at this time.
"Wait for the edict."
Zhu Youxiao glanced at his sons, and then only said this sentence.
"yes!"
Then, Zhu Youxiao said: "Since all the countries in the world are going to be the same people as the Chinese people in the future, it is natural that the foreign countries should be destroyed. You need to quickly decide how many places the central suzerain country will directly govern. From the perspective of military geography, Please consider information exchange and wealth situation in detail, and then give me a plan after court discussion! In addition, foreign countries such as Japan, Korea, Annan, Ryukyu, and Rakshasa must have more detailed and specific annexation plans! Your Majesty will be Restore the greatness of Qin and unite the eight desolate lands!"
"According to the order!"
"Father, in my humble opinion, it is unrealistic to make the world all Han people, and the income will not necessarily be high, and there may even be losses. The early colonial income was high because the imperial court moved a large number of Han people from the country while colonizing. , which is equivalent to bringing productivity with them, which can quickly collect taxes and generate profits. However, immigration is no longer necessary in the later period, because everything that can be moved has been moved! The court was afraid that in the early stage, it would support the royal family, vassals and nobles overseas. Paying huge costs to establish a country may not be good for the country’s finances.”
Zhu Cican, the second son of the emperor, spoke boldly at this time.
"This is not what the second brother sees. The high benefits brought by colonization are not the operating benefits of occupying the land, but the trade benefits. The second brother does not have major private factories. Look, my Ming Dynasty is actually Major factories are already over-producing, making a large number of industrial products unsalable and forcing many factories to reduce production. This phenomenon began to appear after the emergence of the steam engine."
"Thanks to my father's insistence that employees keep their capital and avoid labor and agricultural taxes, the wealth of the people, both workers and farmers, has increased, which has increased domestic demand and solved the problem of unsaleable industrial products. However, Now the private sector is still desperately trying to expand production capacity and blindly expand the scale of factories, hoping to make more money than others, and government-owned industries cannot reduce production because there are many workers to support. What should we do? This can only expand external demand!"
"But external demand is now declining instead of increasing. The first reason is that the war in the West has not completely recovered after the end of the war, and there are even local wars. These backward civilizations still only know how to expand barbarically and use primitive methods such as massacre. Therefore, the market is shrinking instead; secondly, these foreign countries are extremely squeezing their own people, so that the market is still not prosperous, or it is only abnormally prosperous, and the main consumers are still their domestic dignitaries and bureaucrats. We The products of the Ming Dynasty are already produced on a large scale and need to be purchased by more people. We cannot rely solely on foreign dignitaries and bureaucrats for consumption!"
"Based on the above, if our Ming Dynasty wants to solve overcapacity and avoid the Ming Dynasty's economy from falling into recession due to a large increase in unemployment, we must proactively expand the market to rescue the lower class people in foreign countries and turn them into our Ming Dynasty's industrial products. Consumer groups, in addition, also need to increase military demand through war, so that the heavy industries mainly controlled by the imperial court do not reduce production and do not reduce the quality of life of workers!"
"So the account here can't just count the apparent income from the imperial court's occupation of the colonial area, but also the amount of income the imperial court has increased domestically after occupying the colonial area."
As Zhu Ciwei spoke, he looked at Zhu Cican and said, "My second brother has obviously not seen the difference between the Ming Dynasty and the Ming Dynasty. The Ming Dynasty now uses machines for mass production. It is the only one that can turn minerals and even people that seem to be of little value into A country that has become a more valuable commodity is a beacon of human civilization, so Ming Dynasty has the obligation to save all mankind and bring the world's civilization to a higher level!"
"The emergence of the steam engine has indeed caused major changes in the Ming Dynasty that have not been seen in thousands of years. The crisis in the past was that the court had no money and the people had no land, but the current crisis is overcapacity and the market is too small. The products of the Ming Dynasty need the entire world to digest them. But only I, Daming, have the machine, so what should I do?"
When Zhu Youxiao said this, he clapped his hands: "We can only continue to expand!"
"Your Majesty the Holy Ming! It is not enough to make the workers and farmers of Ming Dynasty rich. We must also make the workers and farmers of the entire world rich so that they can afford industrial products. And to make them all rich, we must make the workers and farmers of other countries rich." Distribute wealth as much as possible to the producers of the country! And to do this, we can only eliminate those foreign rulers."
Lu Xiangsheng replied.
Zhu Youxiao nodded. He did not expect that Ming Dynasty would reach this point, because its technological progress has been too great, and the productivity gap with other countries in the world has become so large that it needs to revolutionize for the people at the bottom of the world. , actually had to change from the original colonial expansion method to an expansion method that saves all mankind.
"The Zizheng Yuan has to work out a new strategy. The previous human civilization transformation plan should be improved into a human civilization rescue plan. It will not only promote Chineseization, but also rescue the suffering people all over the world during the Chineseization process, and let these people People have become the main consumers of our Ming Dynasty industrial products!"
Zhu Youxiao said.
"yes!"
…
Since the Rakshasa Kingdom lost more than 200,000 of its main force and ceded territory to the Ming Dynasty to pay compensation, the national finances have changed from a state of overflow before to a state of imminent collapse.
It wasn't just the Rakshasa Kingdom's court finances that were in a state of collapse.
Even the income of many big nobles in Rakshasa Kingdom has been greatly reduced.
Because many of their timber industries, coal industries, and fur industries in Siberia fell into the hands of the Ming Dynasty and were divided up by the Ming Dynasty's government-owned industries.
But now the Rakshasa Kingdom wants to re-strengthen its national defense, and their tsar and nobles want to make up for the losses and transfer the unpaid compensation costs, so they can only increase the exploitation of the domestic people.
"Your Majesty, we have calculated and found that the taxes of foreign tribesmen such as the Cossacks and Turguts who have surrendered to us should be doubled, and the taxes of ordinary Rakshasa people should be doubled. Only in this way can we tide over the current difficulties. "
At this time, Vishin, the great nobleman in charge of finance in the Rakshasa Kingdom, presented his tax increase plan like his own Tsar Alexei.
After hearing this, Alexei said: "If the Cossacks and Mongols (Torghuts) are punished more severely, will they be forced to betray our Rakshasa country? We no longer have enough troops to suppress them. We even need them to offset the impact from Poland and the Ming Dynasty for us. Once such a heavy tax is added, there is no guarantee that the Ming Dynasty will not instigate the Mongols and rebel against the Turks just like they did when they surrounded and annihilated our Rakshasa army. Turks and Cossacks!"
"Then your Majesty means to make them the same as us Russians, with only double the tax?"
Weising asked because of this.
"No, not only cannot we increase taxes on them, we must also reduce them by half to win their hearts."
Alexei replied.
"But if you only double the tax on us Rakshasa people, it won't be able to make up for the current financial shortfall!"
Vissing objected.
"Then triple the tax on the Rakshasa people! Transfer what needs to be borne by the Cossacks and Mongols to our own Rakshasa people."
Alexei replied.
Wei Xing continued to object: "Your Majesty! This will make it difficult for us Rakshasa people to survive!"
"It's nothing more than starving to death one or two million people, and it won't have much impact."
Lovsky said something at this time, and said to Alexei: "From my perspective, I can only suffer for my own people!"
Alexey nodded.
As a result, the Rakshasa Kingdom placed all the heavy burdens caused by the tax increase on the Rakshasa people. As a result, the lives of ordinary Rakshasa people were very difficult, with a large number of refugees, starvation and uprisings everywhere.
But Alexei's kindness to the Cossacks and Turguts did not make them appreciate it.
Poland has begun sending emissaries to contact the Cossacks in eastern Ukraine.
The Ming Dynasty also sent Wuya, Burni, and Habak, the fifth prince who was newly appointed governor of the Urals, to contact the Turgut people living in the lower reaches of the Volga River and on the shores of the Caspian Sea, with the intention of persuading them to surrender. Ming dynasty.
The Cossacks did not refuse Poland's solicitation.
Even though they have deep conflicts with Poland, because they know that it will be difficult for the Rakshasa Kingdom to provide them with asylum, and Poland has stated that if they refuse, they will suffer more serious consequences, so they can only agree.
The Turghut people who lived in this area also agreed to surrender to the Ming Dynasty.
Even if the Rakshasa Kingdom reduces their tax burden, they are unwilling to continue to pay taxes to the weak Rakshasa Kingdom.
What's more, the Ming Dynasty has changed because of the way of exploitation. It no longer directly plunders furs by collecting taxes, but is willing to obtain the furs of their tribesmen through trade and then earn profits by selling a large number of industrial products.
Coupled with the reasons of skin color and culture, the Turgut people are willing to return eastward to the Balkhash Lake area and become the people of the Ming Dynasty.
"Shameless!"
"hateful!"
In the camp of the Cossacks and Turghuts, Alexei naturally had his own spies, so it didn't take long for him to find out that the Cossacks and Turghuts were going to betray his Rakshasa country. This made him He felt extremely angry.
