People in Hongwu, from heavenly master to emperor master

Chapter 396 Qiongzhou will become an important town of Ming Dynasty, the ancestor of Hainan Daoist

Lao Mo admired Zhang Yi very much. This kid's ability to adapt was far stronger than his own old Jiang Hu.

It was only when he came to Qiongzhou that he realized how bad the situation in Qiongzhou was.

Although the Ming Dynasty has established a basic rule here, most of the area is still similar to the wilderness, and it is also in the hands of the indigenous people here.

There are only a few Han people in exile and their descendants. Under such circumstances, Zhang Yi actually wanted a large piece of land to promote rubber?
Even the local officials in Qiongzhou thought it was impossible.

However, Zhang Yileng is learning and selling while he can't understand the local dialect, so as to mingle with the locals.

Today, they are almost brothers.

His way to open the way is very simple, that is medicine,
There is a lot of miasma in the mountains in the south, and many people have more or less some problems. With Zhang Yi taking the initiative to treat them, he quickly gained the friendship of many people.

"My fellow, don't eat too many betel nuts, it will cause cancer!"

After Zhang Yi finished speaking, he spit out betel nut juice!

The old village head of the village, with a smile on his face, said that he didn't know if he understood what he said.

Traces of time are all over the other person's face.

When Zhang Yi stood up, Song Zongzhen and Lao Mo quickly followed.

The old village head sent Zhang Yi and others out of the village entrance, respectfully.

"Brother, look, missionary work is so simple!"

Zhang Yi turned around and taught Song Zhenzong.

Song Zhenzong's face was full of bitterness, it was so simple.

He was sent to Qiongzhou by Zhang Yi to take care of Zhengyi's missionary work in Qiongzhou.

Everyone thought that he was assigned in the cold, but he still remembered that before making this decision, Zhang Yi specially asked him to come over for a heart-to-heart talk.

He agreed to come here by himself. Among Zhang Normal's disciples, Song Zong really knew Zhang Yi best besides Deng Zhongxiu.

The last person who was willing to believe in Zhang Yi wholeheartedly is now in charge of Taoism in the Xuanjiao Academy, and his authority is only a little lower than that of Zhang Normal.

Zhang Yi's magic power is evident.

"Although Qiongzhou is suffering, if we look at it geographically, it will continue to suffer!

But if you seize an opportunity and grow together with Daming, it may have a chance to become the important town of Daming!
But here there are great opportunities and many problems!
The reason why the imperial court has not paid enough attention to this place for a long time is that it lacks the education of the Central Plains!

This is not okay! "

Zhang Yi will not look down on the culture of the indigenous people, but he must also admit that the people here lack education.

The so-called enlightenment is nothing more than reading and literacy, as well as knowing the world.

Few people will do this thankless task, but it can be done together.

Zhengyi has accumulated a lot of experience in promoting simplified characters in the past two years, and the effect of this promotion is even better than that of the Kong family.

Most of the prefectures and counties in Ming Dynasty have Zhengyi Taoist temples. Under the intentional guidance of Lao Zhang, each Taoist temple is a school.

Spread knowledge and inherit culture.

Zhang Yi hoped that Song Zongzhen would come here and do the same.

For educating these border people, the identity of a Taoist priest seems to be more useful.

He thought of later Western invaders, who often carried missionaries on board.

These people not only enslaved the local aborigines, but also controlled their souls.

The so-called stones from other mountains can be used to attack jade.

In Qiongzhou, the imperial court didn't pay much attention to it, let alone why the culture was passed on.

But religion is easier for others to accept.

Zhang Yi disseminated his theory, which is disguised as religion, but is actually a scientific theory, so there was no pressure at all.

"Do you remember that Liu Yuanran came to see me last year? I hooked him up and asked him to go to Yunnan. Do you understand why?"

Zhang Yi asked Song Zongzhen again, and Song Zongzhen was puzzled.

He lowered his posture and pretended to be listening.

“If there is no enlightenment in any border area, it will be very difficult for the imperial court to rule!

To solve this trouble, the imperial court usually only uses one method, and that is immigration!
After making the Han people more than the foreign races, culturally, they will be able to accept the discipline of the imperial court!

But even if there are immigrants, if they are not handled properly, it is still impossible to integrate these people into the rule of the court.

While respecting local culture, enlightenment, or cultural exchange is very important!
Confucianism can educate a group of people, but the effect needs to be subtle!
Instead, preaching, preaching, can quickly shorten the relationship between myself and the border residents...

Liu Yuanran understood what I meant, so he became the Taoist Patriarch of Yunnan!
I just don’t know, does Senior Brother Song want to be the Taoist ancestor of Hainan? "

Zhang Yi always referred to Qiongzhou as Hainan, and Song Zongzhen was no longer surprised.

The so-called Hainan Daozu took a deep breath.

Be it religion or Confucianism.

In addition to seeking worldly benefits and illusory ideals, it will eventually fall on the word of enlightenment.

If he can become a Taoist ancestor, it will be enough for him to be famous in history books.

If someone else deceived him, Song Zongzhen wouldn't believe a word of it.

But Zhang Yi, Thaksin.

"We do this because we are in the imperial court's appetite!
Let those scholar-bureaucrats come to educate foreigners, they probably won't agree!

But after all, Hainan has left behind the seeds of reading. Let's start slowly and use religion to integrate the similarities and differences of the nation!

Han, Miao and Li, all read the Supreme Master, and all drank boiled water, so they are naturally a family...

In fact, no matter the so-called Han nationality or foreign race, if we can abide by the same set of values, everyone will be pretty much the same! "

Song Zongzhen nodded in agreement. When he left Longhushan, Zhang Yi had taught him the principles of dealing with the locals.

After he arrived, although he was not as quick as Zhang Yi to get along with the people of Miao Village and Miao Village, he was still quite respected.

Foreign races have their own set of cultural beliefs, and he doesn't interfere.

He also gained a lot of goodwill in treating diseases and educating people.

"Although vaccination has been popular in the Central Plains for several years, it doesn't seem to be popular in Qiongzhou!
After you learn the local language, you can pass this method on to them..."

Song Zhenzong accepted all Zhang Yi's words.

"Near the Taoist temple, I have bought dozens of acres of land!

Just listen to my junior brother's orders and plant rubber trees!
Master promised me to send dozens more brothers over..."

Song Zongzhen understood that everything Zhang Yi did was for the fruits he gave him.

rubber!

He didn't understand why Zhang Yi paid so much attention to this kind of plant that couldn't be eaten or used as medicine.

"Qiongzhou's geographical location is destined to be unimportant, but because of rubber, it will become an important town in the Ming Dynasty!"

Zhang Yi’s words are so decisive that the ancients may not be able to understand his thoughts, but he knows the role of rubber in industrialization.

The British went to great lengths to steal the rubber seeds.

This is the blood of industry, the gold of industry!
Under this circumstance, if Ming Dynasty entered industrialization ahead of schedule, Hainan would be the inevitable core!

Even if Ming wins Jiaozhi in the future, Southeast Asia...

Hainan is also a place that cannot be avoided.

Although Jiaozhi and Yunnan and Guangxi are connected by land, but the ancient traffic environment, it is not easy for Daming to effectively control Jiaozhi together!

Instead, it is by sea.

Might be able to link this place.

But to achieve this step, the court must be made aware of the value of rubber... This is not something that can be accomplished overnight.

But Zhang Yi has absolute confidence.

"Looking back, I'll write to my father and ask him to ask you for a canonization from the imperial court. It's justifiable for you to be here!"

Based on Zhang Yi's understanding of Longhu Mountain, the emperor would definitely allow Zhang Normal to seek a Taoist temple and land in the borderlands.

In the past two years, Longhushan has brought many changes to Huaxia.

Along the way, he met many children from peasant families who could easily read and write.

This is not to mention the ancient times, that is, the era he lived in. Before the promotion of simplified characters and the elimination of illiteracy, there were still many illiterates in the land of China.

The government of the later generations is a super powerful regime that mobilizes action to the most grassroots villages.

As far as Daming's current imperial power does not come down to the county, it is already very rare.

"When will Junior Brother go to Nanjing?"

Song Zongzhen knew what Zhang Yi would do next. Zhang Yi shook his head:
"I will celebrate the New Year here and wait until the saplings are planted and survive!"

……

August!

Nanjing, Imperial Study Room.

"Is this kid really staying in Qiongzhou?"

In the past few months, Nanjing has been particularly busy with government affairs.

Among them, what Lao Zhu is most concerned about is the Northern Expedition after Duolingshan.

Obviously relying on the victory of Broken Head Mountain, he finally stabilized his position.

The army of Ming Dynasty and the real elite of Mongolia started a tug-of-war in Mobei.

Although everyone knows that this Northern Expedition has basically been unable to complete the established strategy following the defeat of Duanlingbei.

But the voices in the court who like to say that I knew this all along and persuade the emperor to rely on the Great Wall are much smaller.

What made Lao Zhu slightly gratified was that Xu Da...

After the battle at Sleepy Hollow, the Central Army never performed well again.

But precisely because of this, Lao Zhu's opinion of Xu Da has been raised several levels.

Xu Da is indeed worthy of his reputation as the No. 1 general of the Ming Dynasty.

When he turned into a shrinking turtle, Wang Baobao was forced to fight with him and couldn't leave easily!

The remaining two armies, the West Route Army Feng Sheng's side, have already reached Guazhou.

In the original historical trajectory, because of the defeat of the Central Route Army, the joint reaction was that the West Route Army stopped Hami.

However, Xu Da did not hold back, but instead helped Feng Sheng and Li Wenzhong hold back the others. Ming's original three-way mutual care strategy immediately showed great power.

Regardless of Feng Sheng's attack on Guazhou, Shazhou and Hami are also within Daming's reach.

The Hexi Corridor belongs to Daming, and Li Wenzhong also accomplished his task brilliantly.

It was precisely because of this that Zhu Yuanzhang missed Zhang Yi more and more. Although this kid had a bit of a bad mouth, he was indeed Daming's lucky star.

"Dad, Zhang Changsheng sent a letter from Longhu Mountain, asking for a reward for his disciple Song Zongzhen..."

Zhu Biao reminded the emperor that the emperor only realized at this time that Zhang Yi attached great importance to Qiongzhou.

In order to gain a firm foothold in Qiongzhou, a barbaric place, he spared no effort.

"Following this boy is right, you drafted an order, approved Zhang Normal's request, and gave him more weight. Since Song Zongzhen is willing to be educated by Qiongzhou to educate the people, I will also reward him with some benefits!
Also, you go to Guangdong and Fujian, and move some people there!

In addition, the Central Plains region also dispatched a group..."

Zhu Biao was stunned, the emperor really planned to immigrate?
It may be okay to immigrate the people from Jiangsu and Zhejiang to the central region where there is a shortage of population due to the war, but it is still rare to migrate to the border areas.

Zhu Biao could already imagine that when the emperor did this, he would definitely be opposed by all the officials.

But Zhu Yuanzhang still did it.

It's simply because he likes Zhang Yi.

"Zhang Yi can't be wrong, I've never seen him treat anything like this, he only stayed in Yingtian for less than two years, but he took the initiative to go to Qiongzhou and stayed for more than half a year!
I can't understand the value of this rubber for the time being, but I have time to wait with that kid! "

Zhu Biao said:
"But if the father emigrates to Qiongzhou, the officials in the court will definitely object..."

Zhu Biao's opinion is also a real trouble.

The emperor can do whatever he wants some of the time, but not everything.

The world is in desperate need of people.

Even if Yaowangdao, America and other divine products are popularized, it will not take more than ten years to complete the cultivation and rejuvenation!

That is to say, during the gap period of more than ten years, every population is a resource.

Nowadays, the state capital of the imperial court, the population of a county in many places is only a few thousand.

In a state capital, everyone is considered good.

In this case, it is enough to mobilize as many people as possible to Qiongzhou.

How will those people support themselves when they go to Qiongzhou?
As long as he proposes an immigration plan, I believe that all officials in the DPRK and China will definitely oppose it.

Zhu Yuanzhang was in a dilemma, so he stood up and paced around.

"There is..."

Lao Zhu instantly thought of a way to get the best of both worlds.

'

"Let Zhang Cundao go to Beijing..."

"Father is planning to...?"

Zhang Cundao is now the deputy commander of the Xuanwu Army and the Earl of Daming.

The emperor reminded him at this time, what did Zhu Biao seem to have understood?
"Father is planning to set up another army in Qiongzhou?"

"It's too exaggerated to set up another army, but since Zhang Yi recognizes the value of Qiongzhou, let the Xuanwu army set up another one here!
My Daming navy, the Xuanwu Army is in charge of the Zhezhi coast, Fujian still lacks a navy, and Qiongzhou also needs it!
In this case, let Zhang Cundao occupy a place so that he can block the mouths of civil and military officials in North Korea! "

Zhu Biao: ...

It's okay for Zhu Yuanzhang to immigrate for Zhang Yi's idea, and set up a navy for him?
With this kind of crazy idea, if it were anyone else, he would definitely think Zhu Yuanzhang was crazy.

But Zhang Yi is worth it, he has already proved his worth with countless examples.

"However, Qiongzhou is a small island with inconvenient transportation. How can we support an army?"

“That’s why we need to immigrate!”

Zhu Yuanzhang laughed, as cunning as when he brought Xu Da and the others to kill the rich man's cattle.

Got it!
Zhu Biao was convinced by the emperor's means, and Jiang was still old and spicy.

……

half a month later.

Song Zongzhen waited for the court's reward, and Zhu Yuanzhang praised him for his willingness to educate the border people, and even gave him the false title of a mage.

This made Song Zong really excited.

What he wanted for Zhang's heterogeneous rubber was a future.

With this title, he became more and more sure that it was right to follow Zhang Yiqian.

However, Zhang Yi's focus was not here. He looked at the old acquaintances in the decree team with a confused face.

Zhang Yi, why is Mr. Zhang here?
