Daming 1805

Chapter 493
Liu Zhixin, Xu Minghui, and Wang Yinzhi reported to Zhu Jingyuan the overall situation in the Dashi area and explained the general situation of the oil mining industry in the world.

Finally, Liu Zhixin, as a representative, asked a slightly sensitive question:

"Your Majesty, we are a big food country, do we want to completely withdraw the domain? Or adjust the scale?
"When Ming Dynasty took over Kezhou (Crete), Cyprus (Cyprus), and the northern part of the Mexican continent, most of the local indigenous people were handed over to Ottoman and forcibly migrated to the southwest of the Mexican continent.

"These areas are now completely devoid of Aboriginal presence.

"In the East Mozhou area, especially between Daming Lake and Sangzhou (Zanzibar), within the area of ​​more than 200 million square kilometers, the original Mo people have also moved to the west of the Great Rift Valley.

"There are only Ming people, and immigrants from Korea, He, Luzon, South Vietnam, Siam, Myanmar and other places. These ethnic groups in the former border areas have now been fully naturalized.

"Even if the big cannibals and Tianzhu people in other regions are naturalized, they still have a different image from the Ming people.

"After they are naturalized, they are no different from Daming people, both in appearance and in heart."

"Now it is mainly in the Shuanghe Basin, the east bank of the Great Qin Sea, the interior of the Principality of Egypt, and the inland area of ​​Mozhou, where there are relatively large numbers of indigenous people.

"However, these aborigines are basically completely controlled by the local yamen, and they have gone through detailed household registration procedures.

"Most of them have already naturalized, wearing Daming's clothes and using Daming's language every day.

"A small number of diehards have long been thrown into the inland mines as slave labor."

The officials of the Great Food Kingdom should consider this matter, and Zhu Jingyuan himself should also consider this matter.

In the first round of large-scale withdrawal of vassals 15 years ago, the specific plans for most of the vassal states were not complete withdrawal of vassals.

Basically, the chief envoy is set up in the vassal state.

The chief envoy belongs to the Ming court and has jurisdiction over the immigrants and descendants of the Ming Dynasty.

The imperial court of the vassal state is still retained and is responsible for managing the indigenous people within the vassal state.

It's just that most of the officials of the imperial court of the vassal state are directly and concurrently served by officials of the Ming court.

Most of the vassal kings of the vassal state also left the vassal state to live and live in the capital of the Ming Dynasty, or directly became officials of the chief minister under the imperial court.

After this kind of reform is completed, the local chief envoy, Si Yamen, and the imperial court of the vassal state are actually a set of people with two signs.

Within the scope of these vassal states, whether it is the Ming people or the local aborigines, they are actually managed by the same group of people.

The purpose of continuing to retain the empty shell of the vassal state court is to legally treat natives and foreigners differently.

For different people, use different laws and apply different management methods.

Although this group of people are natives of this land.

Now this piece of land has become Daming's land, but these people are not allowed to become legal Daming people.

This kind of practice is unreasonable in Zhu Jingyuan's previous life in the 21st century, in an already highly civilized society.

Relatively developed countries in later generations will even refuse to accept the attachment of small countries in order to avoid such big troubles.

The vast majority of officials who were not directly involved in the corresponding policies, as well as ordinary Ming people who knew the corresponding situation, took the existence of this policy for granted.

They basically think this plan is very reasonable, and the people of Ming Dynasty are indeed different from the natives and foreigners.

However, having dealt with Zhu Jingyuan at close range, especially those who have participated in the specific implementation of the corresponding policies, as well as the specific implementers of the general education examination certificate system, they all know that this policy is only a transitional policy.

Zhu Jingyuan's ultimate goal is to completely assimilate this group of people.

Of course, it is not for everyone. The natural basic strategy is still to keep the same and remove the difference.

Zhu Jingyuan thought for a while and said:
"The Great Food Kingdom doesn't need to be completely revoked right away, it can be kept for a while.

"However, the scope of the Great Food Country can be gradually narrowed.

"Within the jurisdiction of a single province, if there are no indigenous people at all, the province can be deleted from the Great Food Country.

"For example, several provinces along the northern coast of Kezhou and Mozhou, as well as the core area of ​​the East Mozhou development zone.

"Even the current local area of ​​the Great Food Country can actually be eliminated from the Great Food Country.

"The specific solution is to choose whether to keep the province or transform it into Huangzhuang according to the size of the Dashi country's industry.

"For example, the northern coastal area of ​​Mozhou has always been directly built by the imperial court, so the province will be reserved directly.

"The oil fields in the core area of ​​Dashi Kingdom from around the Great Lakes area of ​​Dongmozhou to the coastline are basically developed and constructed by Dashi Kingdom itself, so they will be transformed into Huangzhuang.

"However, this Huangzhuang is not merged into the original Huangzhuang system.

"Instead, it will be merged with Daming Airlines, Dashi Clothing Firm, Dashi Petrochemical Industrial Park, Dashiguo Oilfield and other related industries to form a new industrial group.

"This matter...Mr. Niu recorded it, and it will be implemented after the imperial court's personnel adjustment is completed next year after the grand ceremony.

"As for the remaining areas, there are still native and foreign places..."

Having said that, Zhu Jingyuan paused for a moment, and asked a seemingly irrelevant question:
"In other parts of Dashi Kingdom, how many foreign men have passed the general education exam?

"Mainly compared to Daming people, compared to foreign women, what is the proportion of local foreign men?"

Liu Zhixin recalled the situation:
"In other places where there are foreigners, the number of foreign men who have passed the general education test is actually not many.

"The entire Dashi region, most of it, is the battlefield of the World War.

"Most of the young and middle-aged men have already died in battle, and the elderly have basically disappeared due to the destruction of the war.

"After the world war, we allowed the Ottomans to remove the population.

"The local male faith is stronger, so the proportion of being driven out to the Ottomans is also higher.

"Women are just the opposite, young women are more likely to survive given food.

"So from the very beginning, the number of males among the foreign population we received was very small.

"At that time, only a quarter of the men left behind were women.

"Among the children left behind, the number of boys is far less than that of girls.

"For those who have no brains, girls will be able to have children in the future, and boys will be useless.

"Only the really rich immigrants are able to raise a few boys to be used as slaves.

"The local yamen's rescue also gives priority to the rescue of girls...

"So, except for Egypt, which is a foreign domain, even in places where there are still aborigines in the Great Food Kingdom, the total number of aboriginal men is less than a quarter of that of Ming men.

"On the contrary, the number of women is relatively large, more than the number of women in Ming Dynasty...

"Moreover, no matter men or women, those who can now live relatively freely in the main cities and factories of the Great Food Country have already been educated.

"Including a small number of men and a large number of women who were left behind, as well as the children of those foreign races who grew up in Daming.

"They have all obtained the certificate of passing the general education exam, and Dashiguo has registered as a national of Dashiguo, and they enjoy the same treatment as Daming people in the factories of Dashiguo.

"Although there were a large number of women and girls who were directly accepted at the beginning, most of them were married to Ming men as concubines.

"Although the number of men accepted at the beginning was small, a large proportion of them were single men.

"Local women are unwilling to marry local men as wives, they would rather serve as concubines to Ming men.

"Even after passing the exam at the same time, the local men can still get the same wages as the Ming people.

"On the contrary, there are some Daming people who only have girls in their families, and some of them choose foreign boys with outstanding images to marry.

"If they had a choice, they would definitely want a Ming man to marry, but now a Ming man can marry a wife normally.

"If you are willing to marry an aboriginal, or take an aboriginal concubine, it will be easier.

"That's why it's basically impossible for Ming men to get married..."

Zhu Jingyuan thought about it again:
"Then, all those who have passed the simultaneous examination will be granted the residence registration of the Ming Dynasty.

"After a woman marries a Ming man and gives birth to a child, she can further obtain a Ming national household registration, and her children can also simultaneously obtain a Daming national household registration.

"When their children become adults, they can obtain Daming citizen household registration after passing the general education examination.

"That is to continue to encourage these foreign women to enter Daming families.

"The rest of the foreign men, if they join the Daming family, they will be treated the same as women.

"I and my children obtain national status, and after the children pass the assessment after they reach adulthood, the children can obtain the Daming citizen household registration.

"However, it should be noted that citizens of the Ming Dynasty cannot take concubines, and both themselves and their children must follow their mother's surname after becoming married.

"For foreign men and women who marry on their own, they and their children can only obtain the national household registration of the Great Food Kingdom and the right of abode of the whole Ming Dynasty.

"Encourage the aborigines who can't find a marriage partner in the local area to find a Ming family with only daughters in other places.

"The indigenous peoples I'm talking about here specifically refer to the Dashi area and the nearby indigenous people.

"For example, the cannibals, the Ottomans, the Persians, the Indians, the Thais, etc.

"The aborigines who migrated from Korea, Japan, Luzon, South Vietnam, Siam, and the surrounding areas of the Ming Dynasty in Myanmar.

"As long as both husband and wife have obtained the pass certificate of the general education examination, and the children obtain the pass certificate again, the children will be given Ming Dynasty citizenship.

"Mr. Niu, note it down and send it back to the relevant personnel."

In the past ten years, Zhu Jingyuan has promoted the implementation of the general education examination certificate system in various parts of Ming Dynasty, trying to eliminate the concept of foreigners from the system level.

Now that I am the emperor, I have to gradually turn the system into a fact.

Niu Jian quickly agreed, and the typewriter in his hand never stopped.

Niu Jian is already a bachelor, and simply taking minutes of meetings should not be his job.

It should be done by the general book office below.

But Niu Jian is willing to do this job, he thinks this job is very important...

So he recorded one copy himself, and asked the book office to record two copies at the same time.

Unless Zhu Jingyuan made it clear that he did not want to record, there will still be direct recordings preserved.

Then after the meeting, I will listen to the recording and check it with the book office, and finally organize it into a file for archiving.

The discussion between Zhu Jingyuan and Wang Yinzhi, Liu Zhixin, and Xu Minghui basically ended here.

The main reason is to arrange the future of the Great Food Kingdom.

Then Zhu Jingyuan asked Lin Zexu to bring the appointment edicts of the three, and asked them to go back and prepare to take office.

Zhu Jingyuan continued to read various materials.

Two days later, on the morning of the 15th year of Ankang, Zhu Jingyuan's first early court after ascending the throne.

The location is still in the lobby of the new Fengtian Temple.

Of course, the number of people attending the meeting was much smaller than that of the capital moving ceremony three days ago.

Mainly the original ministers of Jiuqing and ministers of various ministries, all the officials of the Dudufu, consortium, and Huangzhuang at the same level in Beijing.

As well as the new and incoming staff of the same level who have already arrived in Beijing.

Zhu Jingyuan sat on the stage, and other important officials, generals, stewards, and shopkeepers sat below.

Niu Jian announced the start of the early court, and all the staff formally saluted and congratulated the new emperor again at the same time.

Then Niu Jian began to announce that Zhu Jingyuan had approved the conferment of the Veteran's Resignation and Memorandum.

These veterans stood up collectively again and bowed to the emperor to express their gratitude.

Next, Niu Jian announced the proposed new appointment.

The newly appointed officials who were originally in Beijing and had already arrived in the capital stood up and saluted to thank them.

Then start to deal with the actual official business.

First of all, Zhu Jingyuan appointed Dazong Bo Shen Fu as the director of the preparations for the enthronement hall, and officially began preparations for the enthronement ceremony.

Then Yang Yuchun was appointed as the commander-in-chief of the military parade.

Since Yang Yuchun had not yet arrived to take office, he was temporarily presided over by the former army governor.

Chen Huacheng and Guan Tianpei were appointed as the commander-in-chief and deputy commander-in-chief of the ship review.

Finally, it's time to deal with the real day-to-day business.

Before the enthronement ceremony, and at the same time before the personnel adjustments were complete, Zhu Jingyuan did not plan to make a big move in the government.

So the rest of the time, is to respond and decide some day-to-day decisions.

At around ten o'clock in the morning, Zhu Jingyuan's first morning court officially ended.

Zhu Jingyuan left his grand uncle Shen Fu, the new young Fu Ruan Yuan, the new Sikong Liu Weizhi, the new Minister of Industry Wang Lai, and the new Minister of Ordnance Department Li Rui to accompany him to the office building of Qin Tianjian.

Shen Fu knew that Zhu Jingyuan wanted to study the calendar, and this work was done by Qin Tianjian.

But Shen Fu was very surprised. Why did Zhu Jingyuan go to Qin Tianjian in person? Shouldn't he have called Shao Fu and Qin Tianjian to the Wenhua Palace and assigned them the work?
Moreover, if you go to Qin Tianjian to discuss the calendar, why call the people from the Shanggong Ministry and the Ordnance Department?

But no matter how confused he was, Shen Fu would definitely understand after he arrived at Qin Tianjian, so he didn't ask any more questions.

Zhu Jingyuan and several court officials went to the office building of Qin Tianjian by car.

In the highest meeting room of the Qin Tianjian office building, the young Fu Ruan Yuan and the former Taifu convened the main personnel of the Qin Tianjian.

After everyone saluted Zhu Jingyuan and said hello, they sat down on both sides of Zhu Jingyuan one by one.

Zhu Jingyuan asked Shen Fu to send the description of his plan for repairing the calendar to Shao Fu Ruan Yuan and the main persons in charge of Qin Tianjian.

At the same time, Zhu Jingyuan sat on it and directly ordered:
"This is a new set of ideas for calendar revision that I conceived based on the calculation data of Qin Tianjian.

"Qin Tianjian organizes manpower as soon as possible, completes the actual specific data verification, and makes a plan that can be implemented.

"Then organize a special meeting to discuss again, add and revise the details or implement directly.

"Today I specially came to Qin Tianjian, and I also called people from the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Ordnance.

"It is preparing to start engineering research related to space exploration."
