Xinshun 1730

Chapter 875
This call also sounds like correct nonsense.But it's different, unlike those who call for expert benevolent government, Liu Yu said where the money comes from.

The proliferation of religions is not necessarily due to the hardships of the people.

However, people's life is difficult, which will definitely promote the proliferation of religion.

The set of theories summarized by the Dominic Society in preaching in the Fujian and Jiangxi regions, and the experience of distinguishing the missionary methods in the southern Jiangsu and northern Zhejiang regions, actually have a great warning significance for Dashun.

Some positions, if you don't occupy them, others will.

But in terms of grassroots construction and a sense of belonging, Confucianism really can't beat Christianity.

At least at the grassroots level, they were really thrown out a hundred and eight thousand miles.

In addition, there is a big gap between the two sides in their understanding of the laws of the world.

Domino would think that the Fujian and Jiangxi regions are mountainous and difficult to trade, so it is difficult for women here to be able to support themselves.Moreover, the more impoverished the mountainous area, the more attention is paid to the male labor force that can be cultivated, and the more serious the inferiority between men and women.

Therefore, a large number of female believers can be developed in the Fujian and Jiangxi regions, but married women of the clan should be avoided to avoid trouble.

But in southern Jiangsu and northern Zhejiang, where the commodity economy is developed, women actually have the ability to support themselves, so the idea of ​​preaching here cannot be the same as that in Fujian and Jiangxi.

Based on this way of looking at and analyzing problems alone, it is completely understandable for Liu Yu to be worried and frightened by the emperor.

Because of these things, it can be regarded as seeing a little essence.

And the essence, the origin, even if it is only seen a little, it can burst out enough amazing power.

To be more precise, what made the emperor take this matter so seriously was that even the worrisome power of faith shown by the few virgins who persisted in their faith was only external.

The real reason is the letter about the difference in missionary methods that was found.

The analysis method in the letter and the touch on the root of the essence are the reasons why the emperor finally moved Tu Macao's mind.

Switching to the emperor's perspective, Liu Yu felt that such vigilance was inevitable.

So at this time, what he wants to say is to take a long-term plan, and he can only follow the emperor's thinking: taking back Macau will not solve the problem. To solve the problem, we must control the entire Nanyang, including the entire Nanyang in Luzon and other places; we must also improve people's livelihood in China.

Only in this way can the symptoms be cured.

The emperor was full of vigilance against Catholicism, as well as its missionary methods and grassroots organizational capabilities.

Catholicism can be expelled, banned, and can conquer the whole of Nanyang and cut off ties.

However, Catholic missionary methods and grass-roots organization methods will definitely be learned by those who are interested.

I'm afraid, when the Fujian and Guangdong regions form a similar organization, borrowing the skin of local religions such as the White Lotus, but using the Catholic grassroots organizational methods, wouldn't that be a big deal?

And Liu Yu's last words hit the key point.

Of course, there are rebel organizations like the White Lotus Sect, which rebel against whoever is on stage.

But most of the people are actually obedient people, as long as they live and work in peace and contentment, no one is willing to rebel.

Therefore, even if Catholicism can be expelled and banned, these Western organizational models that have been exchanged cannot be expelled and banned.The ultimate solution is to solve the problem of domestic poverty.

And to solve many domestic problems, under the subtle influence of Liu Yu these years, what the emperor wanted was to control the water and relocate the people.

Because the emperor didn't know what the real way was, that's why when Liu Yu pretended to be a child and had the sorrow of the universe, the emperor felt that Liu Yu was really desperate—water control and relocation were just to continue his life, and in the end Isn't it still more people and less land, land annexation, and chaos in the world, so that people make wedding clothes for others?

Since the solution that the emperor can think of now is to control the water and relocate the people.

Then, finally, it came back to what Liu Yu was most worried about and what he really wanted to talk about.

money.

If you want money, you have to open up and continue to maintain exchanges with the outside world.

Because Liu Yu had already calculated an account for the emperor, closing the trade in Malacca, even if the royal monopoly, the profits obtained would not be enough to support the emperor's many "ambitions" in the future.

After listening to Liu Yu's long-term plan, the emperor thought for a moment and sighed involuntarily.

Seeing that the emperor was still hesitating, Liu Yu said again: "Besides, I think it might be a good thing to keep Macau temporarily."

"Things of the kingdom of heaven are all vain and invisible."

"However, Macau under the Catholic Church is not vain, and everyone can see it."

"Heaven cannot be broken, because the heavenly soldiers cannot go there."

"But the kingdom of heaven on earth is broken."

"I think that staying in Macau for a while, allowing Macau to decline, let the world know that this belief in God is not only not a blessing, but a decline and hardship."

"Anyway, those who believe in it are mostly ignorant. How can they know the real reason? How can they understand that the transfer of trade routes between the East and the West and the development of direct trade between countries are the real reasons for Macau's decline?"

"What they see in their eyes is that Macau, which believes in God, is declining more and more, while the Chinese dynasty that forbids God is getting richer."

"Everyone dislikes the poor and loves the rich. After a long time, people think of the holy pilgrimage."

These words made the emperor's eyes light up.

The reason for Macau's decline, he discussed with Liu Yu.Liu Yu’s perspective, of course, is not about corruption under the local rule. His perspective is very clear: the prosperity of Macau stems from the former government’s sea ban policy; air trade.It's that simple.

It is similar to the fact that Batavia will inevitably decline under the rule of Dashun, because Dashun does not need such a transit port.

So is it possible for Macau to regain its prosperity and prosperity a hundred years ago?
The judgment given by Liu Yu is absolutely impossible.Unless Dashun starts to retreat, drive all foreign businessmen to Macau, and only allow foreign trade in Macau, otherwise Macau will definitely decay slowly.

In history, Macau has survived for a long time, relying on opium smuggling and transit and population trade.

But now, opium is going to be banned, and the population trade center has been sent to Jiangsu by Liu Yu. If it doesn't decline quickly, it will be hell.

Of course, he was just talking about staying stable for these years.

Before the European War broke out again and Dashun participated in the First World War.

Liu Yu gritted his teeth, and said again: "Your Majesty, killing people is worse than killing people."

The emperor was noncommittal, got up and paced around for a few times, then suddenly stopped, with a stern look in his eyes.

"Does Aiqing have the means to make Macau's decline and dilapidation so that it is difficult for people to live?"

Liu Yu was overjoyed, knowing that if he could come up with a feasible method, the emperor would seriously consider this matter.

"Back to Your Majesty, no means are needed."

"Businessmen seek profit, and the Portuguese trade in Nanyang was difficult. They were squeezed by the maritime merchants of the Chinese Dynasty. Now that the dynasty has won Nanyang, the maritime merchants are everywhere, and there is no such thing as seizure by Java or rejection by Luzon."

"With the businessman's heart for profit, within three years, the trade in Annan, Timor and other places that made the Portuguese in Macau run away was all robbed."

"If Macau doesn't have trade, how can it survive?"

"There will be neither arable land nor cotton fields. At that time, the people of Macao will be impoverished and it will be like hell. Then, from the perspective of ordinary people, isn't this the reason for believing in God?"

"After so many years, once there is a change in Europa, and the Celestial Empire seizes all of Southeast Asia, conquers India, and takes advantage of the situation to take over Macau, won't the people in hell eat their own pots of milk?"

"If it is withdrawn now, the decline of Macau is inevitable. At that time, the people of Macau will feel that they are really struggling because of the return, and they will be alienated."

Quietly glanced at the emperor from the corner of his eye, and saw the emperor nodded thoughtfully.

Liu Yu said again: "If your Majesty is not at ease, I will make some arrangements. It is said that the trade in Macau will be cut off within three years. Including, the trade from Macau to Goa will also disappear."

"Your Majesty, it is easy to kill, but difficult to kill. God has the virtue of good life. Although killing is the easiest way, if it is like the White Lotus Sect, it has been suppressed since Tang Dynasty, and it still exists today."

"If your Majesty's benevolence is not to kill, how can you be willing to give money to these people for the relocation fee and the relocation subsidy that the good people in the Huanghuai Central Plains can't afford?"

"It can only be said that when the future is difficult, some people will come to their senses. And those who are obsessed... may sell to the French as long-term contract workers to cut sugar cane in the Caribbean; or sell all their labor for the rest of their lives at once to go to India picks cotton..."

"The many islands in the South China Sea, as well as the islands in the south of the ocean, are still uninhabited."

"If it is like plain silk, if it is soaked in black, it will turn black, and if it is soaked in yellow, it will turn yellow. You must not exile them there, and you must not wander there."

"In the future, if your majesty has compassion and can't bear to slaughter, it would be the best to throw it to India to pick cotton. Anyway, I think that place is where taxes are collected and goods are sold. When taxes are collected and sales are not profitable, return it to Malacca. It is not a place where you can become a king."

"Moreover, I think that if the trade in Macau is cut off, within a few years, there will be a fight between the old residents of Macau and the believers who have moved to Macau in the past few years. At that time, if they join the religion, they will all be lies of brothers and sisters. Wouldn't it be self-defeating?"

"This matter is easy, if you don't seek speed, you can let it ferment on its own; if you seek speed, you can also send people to Macau secretly to instigate, newcomers and old people, host and guest disputes, blood will flow like a river, no less than Lingnan host and guest Weapon fighting."

"At that time, where will the Jesuits in Macau stand? Can they really treat all brothers and sisters equally? Even so, does he really have the means of five loaves and two fish? If not, people will always have to eat, Jesus Will it work out?"

"At that time, I sent a letter to Rome, only saying that the religious brothers and sisters in Macau were suffering, and asked the Jesuits to pay for them to be sent to Brazil. Can the Jesuits pay the money? Even if they are really ready to pay , with the lessons learned from Ceylon, does the Portuguese government dare to agree? I’m afraid it will disband the Society of Jesus instead!”

"When the time comes, the whole world will know about it, and the reputation will be stinky. Wouldn't it be more effective than massacre?"

Everything is for the smooth development of Sino-Dutch trade, and everything is for the preparations for the upcoming World War I. Liu Yu's words are unprecedentedly vicious and cruel.

The emperor greatly appreciated this remark that killing is not as good as killing one's heart.

I also know that Liu Yu is at least on the issue of trade, as long as he speaks out, he has full confidence.As for Macau, a narrow place, as long as the trade is cut off as Liu Yu judged, there will be no way to survive.

Host and guest fight with weapons, the reason is the same.

At that time, it will be the heart of everyone who joins the religion to love each other and the family; it will also be the heart of the Jesuits.After all, when the time comes, they can only choose a side, and such a thing as choosing a side, there is no need to think about it, it must be the side of the old man.

The emperor thought about Liu Yu's reasoning of "Ru Ruo Su Si" again, and he thought it was true.If there is no land, these people must not emigrate.

In the future, if they go to India and carry out the plan of "Shangdang and return to Zhao", these people can also be enriched in the cities handed over by the French. After all, France also believes in Catholicism.

It can be regarded as solving these problems more decently without killing.

At that time, Nanyang will all belong to the Celestial Dynasty, and all Western forces will be expelled. It will be fine if the gate is closed.

This was originally an accident, and the emperor just wanted to play tricks on the trade issue at first.It just happened that there was a lesson plan in Fujian, and the emperor was a little shocked for a while, so he decided to cut the weeds and root them out.

After mentioning Liu Yu's vicious means, the emperor also felt that punishing one's heart seemed to be more meaningful than killing someone.

After thinking about it for a while, the emperor said: "Aiqing is going to Nanyang in a few days, and since she is going south, she should go out of the town as Xingguo Gong to inspect the population trade and opium smuggling. Solved it."

"I will tolerate them for another 15 years."
