Zou Zhongquan turned the church into a Confucian school here, and ordered children to enroll in school. He also encouraged farming and developed water conservancy. He was very busy every day.
For the Western nobles, this was an outcome they did not want to see, because it meant that they were really going to lose their dominance here.
Of course, it was useless for the Western nobles not to want to see it. Who let them lose the battle?
The civilian education that Zhu Youxiao started to vigorously establish decades ago has played a great role today. A large number of scholars were forcibly assigned to these places as officials, and then became local officials, which made the military occupation more effective. In addition, it can also achieve political and cultural occupation.
Business also became more prosperous as a result.
In particular, the foreign trade industry flourished with military victories.
"Recycle old clothes, old quilts, old pots, old basins at high prices..."
Because many serfs in Europe began to become paid workers and farmers after being rescued, the demand for clothes and other daily necessities was very high.
This also creates a business opportunity.
Many second-hand clothes and other daily necessities that are no longer worn by wealthy citizens in the Ming Dynasty will be collected by specialized foreign trade companies. After simple processing, they will be sold directly as new products in Europe, thereby earning a lot of profits.
As a result, people often ride three-wheeled bicycles on the streets, alleys and even in the countryside in many cities and towns in the Ming Dynasty, shouting to recycle various second-hand goods.
Just like old clothes, shoes and socks, pots and pans were transferred to Europe.
The old Ming Dynasty industries were also gradually transferred to Europe.
Even the old system is moving to Europe.
Because the central court of the Ming Dynasty imposed military restrictions on these places, such as how many escorts they were allowed to have and what kind of weapons they were equipped with, they did not have high requirements for their internal affairs and only required Chinese civilization.
Therefore, among the vassal monarchs and officials appointed to these places by Emperor Zhu Youxiao of Tianqi, many were dissatisfied with the current system of the imperial court and intended to take this opportunity to restore the pre-Ming style in their newly enfeoffed and newly appointed areas. Such a conservative and backward farming system.
Shen Yongqi, the magistrate of Luxembourg, wrote in a letter to Shen Yongqi, the magistrate of Luxembourg: "Since the imperial court currently allows officials to implement the Han Dynasty according to the actual situation of the place, I decided to rebuild the system of Zhou rites here and respect Confucianism. The so-called science and technology should all be regarded as miraculous tricks and ingenuity, so that people's hearts will not be distracted, no distinction between superiority and inferiority will be made, and ethics will be greatly ruined, so that the people of Marseille can have the virtues of loyalty, filial piety and shame!"
Zou Zhongquan, the magistrate of Marseille, also said in the letter: "My foolish brother also has this intention. Now in the mainland, in order to solve the people's plight, the imperial court took the initiative to lift the sea ban, supported the people to move overseas, and even supported the powerful people to move overseas. Later, it even allowed Criminals go overseas to open up wasteland as a way of atonement! As a result, there are too many unruly people, and the gentry and landlords have no tenants. In times of disaster, they are even less able to lend money and make profits. People will leave their hometowns if they are even slightly dissatisfied, resulting in the breakdown of clans. Ethics do not exist, and the way of respecting the elderly and filial piety is gone! Is this still China?"
"My brother has decided to implement the maritime ban in Marseille! We also want to restore Taizu's road guide system in the Marseille area. In addition, I heard that the imperial court has designated Marseille and its surrounding areas as the land of King Qu, and the clan member Zhu Cixiang He has been named the first generation King of Qu, so I have planned to advise him to restore the original imperial examination system in the Kingdom of Qu and re-establish the Jinshi subject after King Qu arrives in Marseille!"
Therefore, Zou Zhongquan also put forward a series of his political ideas in the letter, and even wanted to influence Zhu Cijiong who would be enfeoffed here in the future.
Zhu Cihong is Zhu Youxiao's nephew and Zhu Youjian's son.
Because King Xin Zhu Youjian actively cooperated with the system of extending grace and was willing to extend the land of Borneo that he voluntarily annexed to his descendants to establish a country on their own, Zhu Youxiao reciprocated the favor and transferred Zhu Cixiang to southern France as the king of the kingdom. Among them, , the royal capital is located in Marseille.
Unlike his father Zhu Youjian, Zhu Cixiang believed in doing nothing and was also tired of attacking. Therefore, after he became a vassal, he also adopted Zou Zhongquan's advice and implemented the policy of sea ban and Daxing. Of course, in order not to cause dissatisfaction with the central court, the sea ban imposed by the Qu Kingdom only prohibited merchants from the kingdom from going to sea, but did not prohibit Ming merchants.
This forced the locals in Marseille to farm conscientiously and pay land to Zhu Cihong, instead of going to sea at will.
This was conducive to resuming production in the early days when Zhu Cixi had just conquered Fanqu State.
Many serfs who had just regained their freedom were also willing to just farm, rather than having their fields taken away by the nobles and working as hard labor in factories.
"Let all priests and priests go to cultivate wasteland and farm, and those who study natural science are just some weird and obscene skills. They are just the ultimate skills of bad people. They should stop studying them. They should all go to cultivate wasteland and make a living by themselves!"
Because Zou Zhongquan had the support of Zhu Cixiang, he became even more unscrupulous. He began to prevent local scholars in the Marseille area from studying natural sciences and only allowed them to cultivate wasteland and work as farmers. He even ordered the experimental instruments of these scholars to be destroyed and burned. their information.
Zhu Youxiao was naturally aware of the conservative policy adopted by scholar-bureaucrats like Zou Zhongquan in Marseille, but he was too lazy to care about it. He only said with a smile after the Jin Yiwei reported this:
"Everyone thinks that the landowner's problems cannot be corrected, and that the people under his rule will only deal with the land for the rest of their lives, but this is ultimately impossible. When there are more people and less land, they will taste the bitter consequences. ! When the time comes, I’m afraid they will have to rely on the central court to quell the rebellion for them.”
"Your Majesty is right. What they are doing is still wishful thinking. It is only conducive to restoring people's livelihood in Europe and returning to the state before the war! However, this is good. The entire global economic structure will be affected for a long time in the future. For a period of time, the Ming Dynasty will still be the center, while places like Europe will still be at the lower reaches of the entire profit chain and can only gain profits by producing the most basic raw materials."
Zhang Huangyan, who has a far-reaching view of the future global economic layout, said at this time.
"As long as the local areas directly ruled by the central court do not do this, the local areas must still insist on maximizing the interests of the nation and maximizing the interests of producers, continue to develop science and technology, and promote civilian education to prevent some people from wanting to turn the local area into a A large manor, but a conservative policy, fooling the people and fooling the emperor, which is conducive to enriching oneself!"
Zhu Youxiao said because of this.
…
"Your Majesty is already old. Even if he insists on the idea of revitalizing the Ming Society and insisting on the commonwealth of the world, he will not be able to persist for many years. If he wants to make our country, the Ming Dynasty, like the foreign vassals, return to the ancestral system and build the country based on Confucianism, we must Beware of the emperor’s eldest son or the emperor’s fifth son becoming the crown prince.”
As Zhu Youxiao was worried, in the Ming Dynasty, there were indeed many old gentry who had not completely given up the idea of subverting the existing system of the Ming Dynasty, and wanted to return to the past farming era, when all the people in the world were slaves of the kings and scholar-bureaucrats.
Therefore, Lu Rujie, a fellow official from Huguangye, mentioned this matter to his friend Chen Wei.
After hearing this, Chen Wei was deeply convinced and said in a low voice: "In my opinion, it would be better for such an imperial heir to die as soon as possible."
