Regarding the textile and clothing industry plan of the Great Food Country, the plan to build factories on the west coast of the Great Qinhai Sea and Crete and introduce Thai people to work was rejected without discussion.
We have finally cleared up the local people. Wouldn’t it be necessary to rework the process if we introduce the Taixi people again?
As for the direction of building a factory in Dongmozhou, it has been recognized by most officials and craftsmen, but there is some controversy over whether to use local Mo people or introduce Tianzhu people.
Zhu Jingyuan felt that turning Mo Continent into a large Tianzhu seemed better than continuing to exist as "Mo" Continent.
But I still don't want to accept this result.
So the meeting continues.
Lin Zexu has returned from Morocco and also spoke at today's meeting:
"Why do we have to use people from Taixi, Tianzhu, and Mozhou? Isn't it better to just use Ming people as workers?"
Niu Jian subconsciously replied to his partner:
"Because it's hard to find workers and immigrants in the Ming Dynasty now. The share of immigrants allocated to our big food country is not large. It is mainly used to dig for oil, plus oil refining and chemical industry. It is simply not enough..."
Lin Zexu frowned and said:
"Our big food country now has not only the mainland, but also the millions of square kilometers of Dongmozhou. How can these lands also get a share of millions of immigrants? Just use these immigrants as textile workers... "
Niu Jian subconsciously added again:
"The current main tasks of local immigrants are to open up wasteland for farming and build railways. The plan of Changshi Mansion is to open up enough farmland in the local area and gradually achieve food self-sufficiency in the food country..."
Lin Zexu said helplessly:
"That is to say, all immigrants have targeted uses. If we want to develop additional new industries, we have to find ways to increase the population ourselves..."
A group of officials and craftsmen nodded one after another, feeling very helpless about the situation before them.
Pan Shien said with great emotion:
“There is too much land and too many things that need people, so there is no one to use it.
“In all dynasties, this situation only occurred in the early stages of establishment.
“That’s because after a long period of war, the land was barren and everything was in ruins, and it was restoring vitality.
"But our Ming Dynasty was originally full of vitality, but a similar situation occurred because the land was too vast."
When Pan Shien said this, a group of people subconsciously looked at Zhu Jingyuan.
Everyone understands the logic of Pan Shien's words. The land Zhu Jingyuan obtained through peace talks is comparable to the rebirth of a dynasty.
Zhu Jingyuan thought of another direction:
“It’s not that our Ming Dynasty has not experienced wars, it’s just that the wars occurred outside the Ming Dynasty itself.
“The lives of our local people in the Ming Dynasty have also been affected by the war that lasted for more than ten years.
"Our Ming Dynasty is also recovering its vitality now, restoring the vitality it should have had.
"So wars should be avoided as much as possible. If a war must be fought, try to fight it outside the homeland."
A group of officials and craftsmen were stunned again, and then nodded in admiration.
The atmosphere at the scene became serious, but Zhu Jingyuan waved his hands speechlessly and said:
"Why did the topic go astray? Let's come back to discuss our business, about what to do about the workers in textile and clothing factories."
Lin Zexu had already thought about it and answered directly:
"We still have to find ways to find additional people, but I feel that we can't just have people from Tianzhu or Mo.
"Nanyangs, Tatars, Siamese, Japanese, Koreans, all ethnic groups under the jurisdiction of the Ming Dynasty can have it.
“It should be said that it is best for all ethnic groups to have one, and it should be as even and balanced as possible, and no one type of people should become the absolute majority.
“There should also be people from the Ming Dynasty, and we can pay to hire some literate people from the Ming Dynasty as factory management.
"Such specially hired people should not be included in the imperial court's quota of immigrants."
After Zhu Jingyuan heard this suggestion, he finally nodded slowly:
"Yes, this method is good. If there are only foreigners from one ethnic group, they will form a circle and use their own dialects to communicate and live, which will easily create a barrier with the court.
“If multiple ethnic groups live together in a centralized manner and are under the official management of the Ming Dynasty, then all of them will have to use the elegant dialect of the Ming Dynasty if they want to live a normal life, and they will be assimilated into the culture of the Ming Dynasty.
"Although the recruitment of immigrants in each vassal state is not promoted by the Ming Dynasty, it can be officially hosted and promoted by the court of each vassal state. Each vassal state should also be willing to reduce the ratio of natives."
The process of immigration is a process of assimilation, but the key is to have a direction of assimilation.
In the Thirteen North American Colonies dominated by the British, as well as in the post-independence United States, immigrants came from various countries in the West.
But after arriving in the New World, everyone slowly changed to speak English and gradually became Americans.
Lin Zexu's plan was to build a colony in the central area of Dongmozhou where immigrants from various vassal states of the Ming Dynasty would live together.
Use the language and culture of Ming Dynasty to maintain the order of this colony.
Zhu Jingyuan directly expressed his approval, and other officials and craftsmen also thought this plan was good.
So Zhu Jingyuan immediately ordered Lin Zexu to organize the team to complete the detailed planning and start implementation as soon as possible.
After the meeting, Zhu Jingyuan returned to his office to review and approve reports from various aspects of the kingdom.
I worked in the office until evening, then returned to the harem to have dinner with my mother and concubines.
This can be regarded as the tradition of the big food country. The king and his family eat together instead of eating alone in their respective palaces.
It is also because the current palace is small, and the number of concubines in Zhu Jingyuan's kingdom is also small, so they can be gathered together without looking chaotic.
In addition, it is impossible for Liang Yunying to live in the country of food all the time, and she plans to return to the country when Zhu Jingyuan's child is born.
So during the time I stayed in Dashi Country, I ate together with Zhu Jingyuan and his concubines every day.
The food had been prepared. Liang Yunying kept an eye on it for inspection and left it for enough time. When Zhu Jingyuan arrived, he started eating.
Liu Muyun is eight months pregnant and her belly is already very big.
However, she is in very good health and has a naturally lively personality, so she still insists on walking around every day.
The doctor also said that this would be good for the fetus, so Zhu Jingyuan left her alone, but arranged for a servant to follow him throughout the day.
After Yu Muxue and Zhu Jingyuan worked hard for more than two months, they finally became pregnant.
It's been five months now and my belly has begun to swell.
Although she is still much worse than Liu Muyun, she has a lazy personality and does not want to move more and more.
Instead, he was often urged to move around by Zhu Jingyuan's mother, Liang Yunying.
The new palace of Dashi Country has been completed and could have been moved directly into.
However, Zhu Jingyuan felt that two pregnant women were not suitable for moving, so he asked to continue to give birth in the old palace before moving.
After dinner, Zhu Jingyuan said goodbye to his mother and took Chunxiang back to his room.
After Zhu Jingyuan's two concubines became pregnant, the available opportunities every month fell on the maids.
Chunxiang and Qiuyue, the two Korean maids who had followed Zhu Jingyuan since childhood, were finally officially taken into his house by Zhu Jingyuan, and they were both named Jieyu of the King of Dashi.
An Xiaona and the other four Hu Ji haven't used them yet, and they haven't been officially banned yet.
According to the tradition of the Ming Dynasty court, before the official concubine gave birth to a son, the maidservant would be prevented from getting pregnant as much as possible.
Although Liu Muyun and Yu Muxue are both pregnant, the child has not yet been born, and it is not yet certain whether they will have a son or whether they will die in infancy.
Therefore, when Zhu Jingyuan had sex with Chunxiang and Qiuyue, he still had to deliberately avoid the fertile period.
Zhu Jingyuan read the newspaper for a while, took a shower and went to bed.
Two months later, in the last few days of the first year of Ankang, Liu Muyun's due date arrived.
This is Zhu Jingyuan's first child, King Dashi's first child, and Liang Yunying's first grandchild.
Under Liang Yunying's command, the operations of the entire palace and harem were completely shifted to production preparations.
It wasn't until the 25th of December that Liu Muyun finally gave birth to a son, weighing nearly eight pounds.
Not only is he not small, but he also cries very loudly. You can tell he is very healthy at first glance.
Zhu Jingyuan's eldest son was born, and the entire palace was filled with joy.
In the specially prepared delivery room, Liang Yunying, who was officially a grandma, was so surprised that she hugged her eldest grandson and refused to let go.
As a father, Zhu Jingyuan had no chance to hug him.
Liu Muyun's health is really good. She recovered quickly after giving birth for the first time.
Then he opened his eyes and looked straight at his son.
Her eyes were full of desire, but with Liang Yunying, the imperial concubine, she didn't dare to ask for it directly.
Zhu Jingyuan was aware of the scope of the room, so he reached out and held his mother:
"Mom, Mu Yun is awake, please give her a hug..."
Liang Yunying reacted immediately and sat beside Liu Muyun's bed with a smile.
"Be careful, your hands are like this..."
Liang Yunying carefully handed the child to his mother, and at the same time directly began to teach Liu Muyun how to look at the child.
The palace hired a wet nurse to look after the child, but Liang Yunying still instinctively focused on educating her.
Liu Muyun himself did not resist, holding his son and giggling.
Although Zhu Jingyuan did not hold the child in his arms, he was still very happy because he was now a father.
After wandering around the room, Zhu Jingyuan sat at the table by the wall, picked up paper and pen and started writing and drawing.
Install the latest version. 】
I have to name my son.
The rules of naming children of the Ming royal family were established in the era of Emperor Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang.
The names of subsequent descendants all have three characters, and the first character is of course the surname Zhu.
The second character, Zhu Yuanzhang, has a set of rules for each son. Zhu Jingyuan himself belongs to the line of the fourth son of Yan Wang Zhu Di.
The second character is the sequence of "Gao Zhan Qi Jian You, Hou Zai Yi Chang Yu; Ci He Yi Bo Zhong, Jian Jing Di Xian You".
The third character uses the five-element cycle of "fire, earth, metal, water, and wood".
If the last two characters are the same, it is considered a duplicate name and needs to be avoided.
Now Zhu Jingyuan's father, Zhu Jianyan, is the emperor. As long as ordinary people don't use the words "Jian" and "Yan" together, there is no taboo.
After five generations of descendants, when the cycle is next to the word fire again, they can be named Yan again.
Because the second character indicating seniority is different.
Zhu Jingyuan himself was born with the character Jing, and his last character was next to the character Tu.
My son should be of Di generation, and the last word should be next to gold.
Zhu Jingyuan subconsciously wrote "uranium".
