Peng Jun and Tao Biquan looked at each other.
Now in the court.
There is no longer any distinction between the Guangdong Party and the Hunan Party.
With Emperor Zhu's support for political students who graduated from new universities such as Daohua University and Guangzhou University.
Now all the former big bosses of the Guangdong Party, the Hunan Party, and the Jiangsu and Zhejiang Party are feeling the pressure.
They are essentially of the same party - they are all old literati.
Now they are all facing the same problem. More and more of their subordinates are becoming literati of the new era.
Under the impact of the new era.
These old-era bureaucratic groups composed of regional township parties are gradually being replaced by the new-era "China Renaissance Party" with political party attributes - this is also what Emperor Zhu intended.
He wanted to support students in the new era to unite and become the first modern political party in Ming Dynasty.
And under their pressure.
The old literati also began to get together.
Ever since.
The prototypes of the two major political parties that would dominate Ming Dynasty politics decades later also emerged at this time.
They are the "Chinese Renaissance Party", which is mainly composed of graduates from new universities.
As well as the "Zhengdao Association" where the old bureaucrats gather together to keep warm - gentlemen are not party members, the old bureaucrats don't bother to call themselves the party.
but.
in a few decades.
Whether it is the Chinese Renaissance Party or the Right Way Society.
They have gradually gotten rid of their political party background, which is mainly distinguished by its bureaucratic origin.
In turn, they represent the class interests behind them - the Chinese Baath Party is supported by heavy industrial capital such as metal smelting and military industry.
Behind the Zhengdao Society are a large number of landlords and capitalists from the old era, mainly agricultural capital, small landlords, financial capital, etc.
They are all dogs of the capitalists.
The Ming Empire was really too reactionary.
However, the current emperor and officials of the Ming Dynasty did not realize that the two future major parties that were being formed in the Ming Dynasty did not have representatives of the proletarian mud-legs.
This is really inappropriate.
However, the monarchs and ministers of Ming Dynasty do not care about this now.
Although Peng Jun, Prime Minister of the Ming Dynasty, submitted the "Economic Development Outline of the Greater China Customs Zone" to Emperor Zhu, what he talked about first was not the economic integration of the largest customs free zone in history, which Emperor Zhu considered crucial. , but about things in Japan.
"Large coal and iron mines discovered in New Japan?"
When Emperor Zhu heard this, he waved his hand and said: "If you find it, just find it. The sky is high and the emperor is far away, and we can't get everything in our hands."
"Your Majesty, is this a plan to weaken Qin?" Peng Jun asked.
"Do you think Japan is strong against Qin?"
"Even if it is not a strong Qin, it is the country here that is second only to the Ming Dynasty in terms of strength, and they also have millions of warriors. If these warriors don't find a place to expend their energy, they will inevitably cause some trouble in the future. "Peng Jun said.
"That's true. Fifty thousand Japanese immigrating to South America every year is enough to make the whole country of Japan trapped in this matter."
Emperor Zhu said.
Predictably so.
future.
Japanese talents and funds will continue to flow into New Japan.
by that time.
Resources for local development are very limited.
Of course.
This does not mean that Japan cannot develop.
Actually.
in the hereafter.
The per capita income of the four Japanese islands is higher than that of Han Dynasty.
But this was after a large number of people immigrated to South America. At the same time, Japan's development also needed to be intervened and guided by the Ming Empire, and it developed on the lines laid out for them by the Ming Dynasty.
Think of this.
Emperor Zhu opened this [Outline of Planning and Development of the Greater China Customs Territory].
"Since ancient times, the Celestial Dynasty has been at the center, and the vassals have paid tribute to the Celestial Dynasty. The states are said to be one, but in fact they still go their own way. This outline is to completely integrate the states of Greater China economically. The Ming Dynasty is the backbone, For example, the vassals of Japan, Korea, and Annan are branches and leaves, so that all countries not only respect the Ming Dynasty politically and culturally, but also rely on the Ming Dynasty economically. In this way, our Greater China region can be truly united. Fusion into one whole!”
Emperor Zhu's words made the three people present a little confused.
In this way, can other countries be integrated into it?
"But whether it can be integrated into a whole cannot be forced, but there is one thing that must be achieved!"
Emperor Zhu continued.
"The Ming Dynasty must completely control all countries economically in order to ensure the coordination of the entire Greater China economic circle. Our Ming Dynasty will not have allies internationally, and we do not need to form alliances, but these vassal countries below us , must be controlled well! As long as the economy of the vassal country that we now call vassal can be completely integrated into the economic track of the Ming Dynasty, it means that half of the world's market belongs to the Ming Dynasty! "
In fact, it's more than ordinary.
Demographically speaking.
Already more than two-thirds!
The world's population is now about 900 million.
Three hundred million in Han Dynasty.
Japan, North Korea and Annan are almost 100 million.
Two hundred million in India.
Plus this mess in Southeast Asia.
It can be said that most of the population is already under the control of the Ming Empire.
only
The land in this world can support a large number of people.
There are still two big ones that have not been controlled.
One is the European plains, and the other is the North American Great Plains.
There is definitely no way to get the Ming Dynasty in the European plains. Europeans are not Indians after all.
It is too difficult to conquer Europe.
Emperor Zhu didn't think about it either.
But the Great Plains of North America.
This is attainable!
As long as we can get the Great Plains of North America.
Not only do we have two-thirds of the world's population in our hands.
Two-thirds of the grain-producing plains were also in the hands of the Ming Dynasty.
By that time.
If Daming is not the father, who will be the father?
"In order to control the various countries, we must first do a good job in the division of labor in the industrial chain. The countries must not easily develop the areas designated by the Ming Dynasty."
Emperor Zhu said
"How can these countries implement it?"
"Of course there must be enough benefits." Emperor Zhu smiled.
"Take Japan, for example. Its land is small and there is little arable land. If you grow grain, you will not be rich anyway, so you can arrange a more profitable industry for them."
"The sugar industry and the marine fishing industry?" Tao Biquan also opened the outline.
"Yes, Japan has many mountainous areas, which are suitable for growing sugar beet. You can build a sugar factory in Japan. In the future, Japan will become the sugar industry base of the entire Greater China." Zhu Daohua said with a smile, "Don't underestimate sugar, it is a long list of industries. From planting to production to reprocessing, the market is huge and profits are high. The Japanese people will be grateful to me."
Could you not be grateful?
In the future, everyone in Japan will worship Emperor Zhu.
And Japan produces sugar.
It is certainly impossible to develop any military industry.
Thus.
The land of samurai became the land of sugar.
Why not?
"In addition, we must adapt to local conditions and encourage other vassals to take over corresponding industries. Steel and food are strategic resources. We must prevent the vassals in Southeast Asia and East Asia from controlling these two strategic resources at the same time!"
