Zhu Yijun agreed to Wang Xijue's request.
The Ming Dynasty has developed to this point, that is, the country has started the Industrial Revolution, and the expansion of civilization is inevitable.
This means that the Ming Dynasty needs more of its own population to be moved out, so that the entire ruling class can draw more benefits through industrialization.
Therefore, in Japan, after receiving the order, Governor Yang Hao implemented the customs change more strictly. For this reason, he did not hesitate to brave the heat to inspect various places and supervise local officials to speed up the change of customs in newly established areas.
After Qi Jin sent more Ming soldiers, Li Rubai completely wiped out the rebel samurai in Itsukushima Town. After entering Itsukushima Town, he began to be ordered to personally lead people to collect Japanese books and inscriptions here, and then collect them together. burn.
"Burn them all, smash them all! We must completely eliminate the Dongyi wind!"
For this reason, Li Rubai also personally inspected various temples and libraries while giving orders.
Then, he also strictly ordered all local shops, large and small, to change their names to Han names. The local Japanese people must learn Ming Dynasty Mandarin and wear Han clothes. Anyone who does not comply will naturally be killed.
And not long after, the entire Itsukushima town was no different from the mainland at least on the surface. Everywhere with words were Chinese characters. If people coming and going didn't carefully look at their height and body shape and listen to their words, they would just think that they were all Han Chinese. .
At the same time, the fertile land in Itsukushima Town was also cleared and distributed to Ming Dynasty officers and soldiers who had made meritorious service.
Jiang Shigong, the captain whom Li Rubai met in the early days of his conquest of Japan, also received thirty acres of Yongye land in Itsukushima Town because of his meritorious service with Li Rubai's help. The Japanese serfs who farmed the land for him signed a new lease agreement with him. Officially from samurai serf to his tenant.
Jiang Shigong himself also transformed from an ordinary military household into a small landowner with thirty acres of fertile land here.
Except for Jiang Shigong, other Ming army officers and soldiers who had performed meritorious service or were killed or wounded in battle were all given a share of the newly created land - fertile farmland in Itsukushima Town, and each of them became landlords because of their military merit.
Because military merit can be awarded to land, the Ming army is indeed very brave and not afraid of death. Even after being assigned to political work, they are eager to die on the battlefield. After all, this will not only bring great honor, but also enable themselves to succeed in the future. People get more fields.
And because of the conferment of land for military merit, the entire Itsukushima town suddenly became the land of Han military households.
Some officers and soldiers of the Ming Dynasty who were injured and had to retire from the army even drove away the Japanese serfs from the land they were assigned, and cultivated the land themselves, as if they wanted to live here forever and become local small landowners.
As for the Japanese serfs who were driven away, it was not that they were left unattended, but were arranged to work as miners or were moved away.
In addition, soon after, Itsukushima Town was officially renamed Chenjin Town.
Same as Huayun City before.
According to the imperial edict promulgated in the 20th year of Wanli, in order to further strengthen education, unless the names of newly created places are familiar to Han people, the Ministry of Household Affairs will ask the Ministry of Household Affairs to rename them after loyal and martyrs.
And Chen Jin is one of the Ming Dynasty's 100 households who died heroically in the recent Ningxia rebellion.
Therefore, the Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development requested it to be used as the new place name for the Itsukushima town area.
After Itsukushima Town was renamed Chenjin Town, Ming Dynasty also appointed a new town-level civil servant to manage the population and land there.
There is no shortage of officials in the Ming Dynasty, and there is no shortage of officials who can carry out land inventory and population management at the grassroots level.
After all, there are a series of official schools such as Xingming Academy, Ming Dynasty School of Governance, and Finance School.
Otherwise, Chen Jinzhen would not have been able to clear the land and divide the land in such a short period of time.
In fact, after the Ming Dynasty decided to destroy the Japanese, it had already planned to send more trained technical scholars to Japan's newly opened lands as officials.
Every day, batches of Han people are brought in by boats to work here, so there is no shortage of all kinds of grassroots management talents.
At the same time, the country is still stepping up its recruitment expansion and training of various talents.
Leaders of workshop workers from various places and leaders of various private labor unions with management experience will be selected by the imperial court with various favorable conditions to be trained in major schools. After training, they will be dispatched as officials.
Scholars above the rank of student officer will also be recruited into various government-run schools for training with various favorable conditions. After training, they will also be directly dispatched as officials.
Not to mention military children, they directly receive five-year free education. Once the free education is over, they are ready to be assigned to various colleges and universities for training, and once they graduate, they are also ready to be sent abroad as officials.
In any case, the army opens up territories in front, and the subsequent officials responsible for managing these territories can immediately fill in the gaps.
Those who clear out their land, those who check the population, those who do the practical work, those who do the practical work.
For a time, many unemployed Japanese in the newly opened lands of Chenjin Town were also sorted out, and they were uniformly assigned to go mining, or moved to Luzon and Myanmar to mine and open up wasteland. Some ronin who were unwilling to go were sent to put to death.
However, most Japanese people are still very cooperative, especially Japanese people.
They have no resistance to being arranged to go mining or immigrating to Luzon or Myanmar, as long as Ming Dynasty gives them food and clothing and does not let them starve to death or freeze to death.
However, what Ming Dynasty is most in need of now is food and clothing.
Needless to say about food, under the cultivation of the Han people, the newly opened fields produced a bumper harvest, and the promotion of new crops was also very effective.
The output of clothing materials has grown like a spurt. After all, the steam spinning wheel has appeared, which has led to a substantial increase in cotton yarn production. Therefore, the demand for weavers and dyers has increased, and the demand for cotton fields has also increased. Even new land has been opened. Some governments began to open government-run cotton fields or government-run weaving and dyeing factories in undivided fields.
Because the problems caused by industrial upgrading were transferred outward by the Ming court, domestic problems caused by the steam industry were quickly solved, and there were still no major conflicts within the Ming Dynasty.
only.
Because Zhu Yijun agreed to Wang Xijue's request and began to rectify the prostitution scene and banned domestic women from selling their bodies, it caused a moderate disturbance in the country.
There is no other reason.
Although foreign women who sell their bodies have their own reasons for being forced to sell their bodies, such as being forced to do so by their husbands and parents, or simply having no other choice, there are indeed many Han women who actively entered the industry because they were indolent and indolent.
In addition, after the rise of the commodity economy, it has become a common phenomenon in society to laugh at the poor rather than laugh at prostitutes. Nowadays, it is easy to make money in the sex business in erotic places, and it is also easy to get close to wealthy gentry, wealthy businessmen and even top dignitaries, so there are people who do not hesitate to enter. This trip is for a woman who aspires to be a courtesan and courtesan.
There are even women who are unwilling to marry easily after they have succeeded through sex.
Although this is just a personal choice, the Ming court naturally cares more about the interests of the entire ruling class. Now that it needs more Han people to expand civilization and increase the interests of its own ruling class, it will naturally not These Han women, such as prostitutes and oirans, were allowed to not have children after becoming wealthy through the support of dignitaries.
Therefore, all brothels where Han women were selling their bodies were raided one after another.
This also makes these Han women who rely on sensuality to entertain people very dissatisfied.
At the same time, it also made many powerful officials and gentry feel dissatisfied.
After all, many brothels are owned by them, and they are also the main consumers of erotic places, and they also prefer their fellow women to entertain themselves with their sex.
Because in this era when Han women are more expensive than Yi women, the former can naturally better demonstrate their identity by entertaining themselves with sex and lust. It is even better to be a Han woman from a good background, preferably a student who graduated from a women's official school or something.
this day.
As soon as the capital called the brothel of Huichun Pavilion, the oiran Sheng Yan said to the obedient Marquis Wu Jijue: "Master Marquis, now the court does not allow Han women to sell themselves. Even the Jiaofang Bureau paid for the marriage of official prostitutes, so you also accept it." Did you kill me?"
"I can't accept you!"
Wu Jijue replied decisively.
Sheng Zhan burst into tears after hearing this, and then climbed out of the window and came to the outside of the seven-story building: "Since the Marquis wants to betray the slave family, the slave family has no choice but to die!"
"Every time I see you, I give you money. How can I fail you?"
"If you really want to get married, you can find an honest boy. Why bother looking for me? I'm old and have no energy left. I'm just here to relax."
Wu Jijue couldn't help but ask.
After hearing this, Sheng Yan became even more sad, then jumped down and fell to his death on the street.
At that time, there were several famous courtesans and courtesans who hanged themselves like Sheng Jian, and many officials petitioned the court to withdraw the decree prohibiting women of their own tribe from selling their bodies.
Shen Yiguan, the Minister of Rites, also said to Zhu Yijun in front of the emperor that day: "Your Majesty, there are currently more than ten promiscuous women in the two capitals who have committed suicide. Therefore, there is a saying among the people that doing so is harmful to benevolence." (End of this chapter)
