Chapter 1534 Mixing

The old office of the Oriental Military Mansion, the last building in Mexico City with traces of Spain.

The stained glass windows on the side wall of the second floor were half-opened, and the long pillars piled with ashlars were topped with layers of arch ribs, which made Ye Mengxiong dizzy when he looked up and lost his mind.

He took a sip of the raspberry juice to relieve the heat. The climate in Dongyang Asia is very suitable for Master Ye, but facing the whole of Europa, there are many troubles and troubles, which makes him feel confident about his six-year tenure in the future. Feel helpless.

Not long after arriving, Ye Mengxiong has already started to miss home.

However, if you leave aside the European countries, he is even more optimistic about the prospects of this vast land than Chen Mu. He has even recently entered the working status of the Minister of the East and made a five-term plan, and asked Chen Mu to submit it when he returned to Beijing to report on his work. The emperor looked over.

The five-term plan is nothing else. There are only two points that concern the imperial court. One is to encourage the imperial court to give birth vigorously, and the other is to send no less than [-] imperial elite Beiyang troops to Asia during the tenure of each oriental minister to replace them. Veteran.

After all, Ming's Asia needs to be protected by Ming people.

During the tenure of the five oriental ministers, the newly grown generation will become the best quality immigrants under the universal education that the empire has strengthened year by year, filling the population gap in Asia until the land is completely digested.

Chen Mu certainly agrees with such a plan. The current population of Daming is far from enough compared to the vast land.

When they established the Nanyang Military Mansion, the population was quite large, but after opening up Xinmingzhou, it was almost meaningless. Now there are vast worlds of Eastern Asia and Northern Siberia, all of which require a huge investment of manpower.

The local people are not as reliable as the people on the land under the jurisdiction of the Western Army Mansion.

Of course, the natives of the East and Beiyang are unreliable. From the perspective of the ruler, Chen Mu, in fact, no matter whether the natives of Asia or the northern part of Saibei, they are very, very normal ordinary people.

It is not normal for the Western Army to be under the jurisdiction.

Their civilization is so mature, and the experience of being enslaved is unrivaled in the world, so that Yin Zhengmao of the Western Army did not need to make any effort at all, as long as the chiefs of the various ministries realized that people who looked like themselves were superior to them With the ability to kill them but keep them to do things, you can rule safely for 1 years.

By the Wanli Year of the Ming Dynasty, this system had lasted for 3000 years, and this set of caste theory had developed to the point where it was self-justified, deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and unbreakable.

Yin Zhengmao can do everything there, the only thing is that he can't touch the caste system, if he doesn't touch it, the chiefs of each state don't care what they look like... In fact, they all look the same, and they can all serve as Daming. Good tax collector.

The annual income of the Western Military Mansion is quite rich, with the least investment and the most output.

But if it is touched——Yin Zhengmao once submitted a manuscript of in-depth analysis to the court on this matter. His original words were that it would cause chaos in that land.

If you want to find an analogy, you can compare it with Daming people.

Because the same civilization is mature, there is also a system that is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people and cannot be broken.

A common man who was born in poverty, seeing that you are a feudal official and a relative of the emperor, he respects you from the bottom of his heart, you take care of him, he is a cow, a horse or even sacrifices for you, he can accept it .

As long as there is an opening, the opening of the imperial examination, even if he does not take the imperial examination in his life, such an opening is enough.

Because he knows that even if he is a cow and a horse for the rest of his life, he still has the opportunity to send his son to study and take the imperial examination, and has the opportunity to honor his ancestors.

Marx said in "Das Kapital": The more a ruling class can absorb the most outstanding figures from the ruled class, the stronger and more sinister its rule will be.

By implication, the more sinister such a rule is, the more difficult it is to overthrow, because it creates room for advancement and gives hope to most people.

Closing the opening of the imperial examination in ancient China will inevitably lead to chaos in the world.

Its root is that the nobles were put up for auction by the Qin State, and whoever kills more people is a nobleman, so that the common people after the great unification no longer believe in the nature of the nobles.

The land under the rule of the Western military government is just the opposite. People's room for advancement is not in this world but in the afterlife, and it also gives hope, even greater than the imperial examination.

The room for improvement in the next life is not as chance, uncertain, or talent-based as the imperial examinations, but inevitable. If you are a cow or a horse in this life, you will inevitably mutate in the next life.

The hierarchy has been with human beings, but for 3000 years, as locals, they have been continuously enslaved by a foreign race completely different from themselves and accepted to be enslaved, making the people living in the magical land become the world's well-deserved No. [-] in the field of enslavement. one.

This system is now convenient for Daming, but it also has great disadvantages.

It is basically impossible to expect them to do other things. As untouchables, their rules determine that they will work for others in this life, so what everyone wants is to be a cow and Matthew in the next life. You let us live in this life As a person, I'm sorry but I can't.

The good thing about being a normal person in the next life will be gone.

Reasonably speaking, the caste system is more advanced than the hierarchical system in the capitalist environment of the 21st century in terms of class solidification and maintenance of class barriers.

Hey, awesome!
People in other places are not as abnormal as they are, so there is no way but to rely on immigration and equal treatment.

It is very simple to treat people equally, there is only one implicit requirement, that is, you have to choose the same way of life as me, no tribe, no leader, and obedience to the government, no one will be discriminated against.

Having said that, Zhao Shizhen walked into the Yamen to convey Shi Xiaolou's thoughts to Chen Mu, making Chen Mu and Ye Mengxiong look at each other with exaggerated smiles on their faces.

"Why didn't I think of it? This Shi Xiaolou has an idea!"

But Chen Mu didn't think he was thinking far enough. Tens of thousands of coffins and 30 to [-] shrouds were far from enough.

"But after all, they are merchants, and they underestimated the destructive power of war."

Chen Mu shook his head and said to Ye Mengxiong: "When I go back, I will ask the imperial court to buy all the mountain forests in Shandong that are suitable for forest farms from the people at high prices, take them back to the state and plant them with 50 paulownia trees."

Paulownia is a kind of tree that is very suitable for making coffins. It matures quickly and has a diameter of two feet in six or seven years. It is most suitable for making coffin boards.

In particular, this time to become a useful person is the same as the term of office of the Minister of Toyo, which is very suitable.

Zhao Shizhen was terrified: "50 million is still less? Marshal, what do you think the future will be like?"

It's not that he believes what Chen Mu says, but that Chen Mu's judgment has been very accurate for a long time, and he believes that this time is no exception.

"War will bring death, but the cause of death is not only because of war, not to mention... What Philip wants to do is to unify the world."

"In the history of establishing a dynasty, there is no one who has experienced 30 to 80 years of troubled times. At the end of the Tang Dynasty, there were separatist regimes, five dynasties and ten kingdoms, and [-] years of chaos. Countless cities were slaughtered. By the beginning of the Song Dynasty, how many people survived?"

As Chen Mu said, he turned his head to look at Ye Mengxiong, and said with certainty: "Ye Gong must remember that after I leave, no matter what happens to Europa, as long as Spain is not at the end of its rope, don't use our soldiers, no matter what happens to Europa. Help him without getting involved."
