Bury the Qing Dynasty

Chapter 209 Conscience?How much is a catty?
The situation in Ryukyu is quite complicated.

According to common sense, since the Satsuma clan was able to take the Ryukyu royal family captive to the Japanese country, it means that the Satsuma clan was able to completely destroy the Ryukyu.

However, the final result was that the Satsuma clan forced the Ryukyu royal family to pay tribute to the Satsuma clan, and did not directly destroy Ryukyu.

If it is said that Samo suddenly realized his conscience, no one would believe it, right?

Therefore, to study why Satsuma did not directly destroy Ryukyu, we must refer to the situation among Satsuma, Ryukyu, and Ming at that time.

It is a matter of course for the Satsuma clan to be a powerful feudal clan in the Wa Kingdom, but for Daming, Satsuma is no more than a Satsuma when he grows up, and he is still far away from the Tibetan Mastiff.

How is Toyotomi Hideyoshi cool?

Samo has the guts to completely anger Daming?
Moreover, Satsuma focused on Ryukyu for the sake of Ryukyu's maritime trade-at that time, Japan, the Tokugawa shogunate was engaged in a closed-door policy. If Satsuma directly destroyed Ryukyu, he might take over the profits of Ryukyu's maritime trade. Offended the Tokugawa shogunate.

Besides, nine out of ten of Ryukyu's maritime trade profits come from Daming. If Satsuma wiped out Ryukyu completely, what benefits would Satsuma get?
So, Satsuma, who is three-thirds of a human being and hasn't learned it yet, didn't dare to destroy Ryukyu.

Now, Kyushu Island, where Satsuma was originally located, is also owned by Daming—since Kyushu Island is already owned by Daming, the status of Ryukyu in the sea trade will naturally be affected.

This is also an important reason why Shang Hao hastily sent someone to request an attachment.

And for Daming, Kyushu and Ryukyu are the difference between the palm of the hand and the back of the hand, which side is not meat?

What is even more disturbing is that to accept the attachment of Ryukyu, some people must be relocated there to ensure the population advantage of the Ming people. part of the army.

Then the problem is coming.

What about people?

There are still many places in the Ming Dynasty that are sparsely populated. For the growth rate of Dingkou in the political achievements, I don’t know how many officials and gentlemen have gray hair. Where can they get so many people to go to Ryukyu and Kyushu? Island migration?

Although the population is similar to the nature of leeks, and they always grow one by one, but how long does it take for a leek to grow?How long does it take for the population to grow a crop?

Thinking that Lanfang will be attached soon, Daming also doesn't have enough people to move there...

Zhu Jinsong wanted to pull his hair out with a headache.

Then, Zhu Jinsong, based on the principle that if I lose my hair, none of you will think about it, and directly threw all these messy questions to the big bosses in the court.

Then, all the bigwigs in the Ming Dynasty Hall lost their hair together.

Especially Zeng Cheng, after receiving the information sent by Zhu Jinsong, he directly scolded the street in the cabinet: "What can Benfu do? Can Benfu conjure people?"

"Myanmar, Siam, Jiaozhi, Linyi (Laos and Khmer), grasslands, Liaodong, Uszang, Duogansi, Bangzi, Kyushu Island, plus Ryukyu, how many tens of millions of people cannot be relocated? "

Liu Huaiwen also had a gloomy face.

Do you want to relocate tens of millions of people?

Even if the people of a family only pay ten taels of silver for settling down, isn't that tens of millions of taels of silver?

Damn, how empty is the Ming treasury? Where can I get tens of millions of taels of silver for him?
Of course, it would be absolutely impossible for Liu Huaiwen to let Liu Huaiwen give up so many territories if he loved the treasury.

For example, cattle and sheep on the grasslands are not very valuable, but they are quite valuable when transported to the Central Plains. For example, tea from Fujian and Zhejiang is not valuable locally, but it is more valuable when transported to the grasslands than in other places.

This is the advantage of a large territory, not only can exchange what is needed, but also increase the income of the treasury.

Therefore, it is impossible to throw away those many sites. Liu Huaiwen is picky, but not stupid.

The more I thought about it, the more I got a headache, Liu Huaiwen couldn't help but sighed: "It would be great if there were fewer barbarians."

Zeng Cheng was thinking that your old Liu is not a good thing in the first place—how can you reduce the number of other savages?Isn't that just letting the barbarians fight each other to the death?

Just thinking about it, Zeng Cheng felt that this matter was quite reliable.

For example, in Japan, there are so many daimyos and feudal lords, and if Jin Yiwei kills one of them without knowing it, and then smears the evidence on other feudal lords and daimyos, wouldn't that be enough?
And it's not just the Japanese country that can do this.

If you consider the whole of Europa as a country...

Thinking of this, Zeng Cheng couldn't help but wiped the cold sweat on his forehead, and said to Liu Huaiwen: "It's better to put this kind of thought away, after all, it's a bit wicked, if His Majesty really hears about it, I'll send someone to do it again." , isn’t that your fault and mine?”

Liu Huaiwen looked at Zeng Cheng in a daze, and asked, "What idea?"

When asked by Liu Huaiwen, Zeng Cheng was also confused: "No, didn't you mean to make the barbarians in other countries less? Apart from sending people to secretly instigate them to fight the dead, do you have any better way? ?”

Now it was Liu Huaiwen who was sweating coldly on his forehead: "That's what I said..."

Liu Huaiwen did just say that, but Zhu Jinsong didn't just think that.

For Zhu Jinsong, as the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, he should naturally consider for the people of the Ming Dynasty. Whether the people of other countries are doing well or whether they are in deep trouble has nothing to do with Zhu Jinsong, the emperor of the Ming Dynasty.

As for conscience...

Zhu Jinsong really wanted to inquire, how much is the conscience thing?Can a catty of conscience make the people of Ming Dynasty earn an extra tael of silver or can they collect a catty of grain more?
In other words, is there any essential difference between selling artillery and artillery to Europa crazily and directly provoking Europa to fight the dead?
Of course, directly selling guns and artillery is called a business, and directly provoking a war on Europa would seem a bit too low-level, not high-end and elegant enough, and not in line with Zhu Jinsong's status as Emperor Ming.

As the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, even if he played tricks, he had to be smart.

Therefore, Zhu Jinsong took advantage of the absence of Zeng Cheng and other big shots, and asked Zhang Dequan directly: "What happened to the things I asked you to prepare?"

Zhang Dequan bowed and replied: "Qizhuo Huangye, everything has been prepared, and all the people who handle it are from Dongchang and Jinyiwei. Those cottonseed oil and cottonseed cakes can be exported to Europa and Silly Eagle at any time. A little bit of it flowed into Daming."

Speaking of this, even Zhang Dequan, who has been lurking beside Qian Deaf Old Dog for more than ten years and whose heart can be called a rock, couldn't help being secretly startled.

It's just too poisonous.

The oil yield of cottonseed is extremely high, the price can be kept very low, and the taste is acceptable. The only thing is that if you eat cottonseed oil for several months in a row, it will be difficult for men and women to conceive. In two years, the impact will be even greater.

As for the cottonseed cake, the product left after the cottonseed is squeezed out of oil, no matter what it is used to feed, such as chickens, cows, pigs, etc., once you eat eggs, chicken, beef, or pork, you will also eat cottonseed The consequences of oil are similar, anyway, it is difficult to conceive a child.

Of course, talking about toxicity without talking about dosage is completely bullshit.

For things like cottonseed oil and cottonseed cake, eating a small amount will not show any harm for a while, even for three to five years, or ten or eight years. .

As long as the cottonseed oil and cottonseed cake are sold a little more expensively, those savages are absolutely reluctant to eat a lot of them, and the harm will naturally be difficult to show.

To put it bluntly, exporting such things as cottonseed oil and cottonseed cake to Europa is simply to get rid of the roots!

However, Zhu Jinsong just hummed lightly, and ordered with a blank expression: "Then go get ready, anyway, those barbarian kings are coming to Daming soon, and when the time comes, I will personally take them to gain knowledge." .”

……

As soon as Louis XVI got off the boat, he greedily breathed the air of Daming, and even couldn't help saying to Pierre who came to greet him: "God bless, I don't have to endure the disgusting smell in the air of Paris anymore, and The fishy smell of the ocean!"

Pierre nodded sympathetically, and echoed, "Indeed, the air above Paris is always filled with the smell of feces and urine. On the other hand, Daming, when you are in the woods, you can smell the smell of the trees." Smell, when you are by the river, you can smell the smell of river water mixed with trees, flowers and grass."

"God can testify, the air in Daming is so fresh and sweet, you never have to worry about smelling the disgusting smell of shit like Paris."

Louis XVI's face was full of joy, and he scolded: "Okay, shut your mouth, you know how much I envy you for being able to stay in Daming for a long time, if you continue talking, I don't mind transferring you back France."

After Pierre admitted his mistake with a smirk, Louis XVI said sternly again: "By the way, the emperor of Ming invited the monarchs of all countries in Europa to Ming Dynasty, is it really just for the pot and the little broken ball games?" matter?"

Pierre looked around, then hummed and said, "According to what I've heard, it's obvious that Emperor Ming is not only interested in the pot but also about the Little Broken Ball Games."

Louis XVI tightened his expression, moved closer to Pierre, and whispered, "What's going on?"

Pierre said, "It seems to be for Lan Fangguo's affairs."

"You know, those Dutch barbarians claim to be sea coachmen, and they have been playing with Lan Fangguo's ideas, and the people of Lanfang Kingdom were civilians of the Qing Dynasty before, and now they are civilians of the Ming Dynasty. Get close to Daming."

"The problem now is that the chief executive of Lanfang Kingdom is willing to give up all his powers, and only requires that Lanfang Kingdom can become a province of Ming Dynasty, and those coachmen on the sea are definitely not willing."

Louis XVI nodded and said, "That doesn't matter. As I said at the beginning, what belongs to Europe belongs to France, and what belongs to the Far East belongs to Daming. Of course, we France must stand by Ming's side."

"As for the coachmen pulling the carriages at sea...who cares? I guess even Rose Beef may not care about them, and maybe they will take the opportunity to cause some trouble for those coachmen."

Pierre hummed and said, "I think so too."

Louis XVI then asked: "Apart from this, is there any other news?"

Pierre shook his head and said, "There's nothing else, but it's just some victories that Daming won and how many lands it lost before. Such news often appears in Daming's newspapers. I guess you also I've seen it all."

Louis XVI hummed and said: "Indeed, I can always see these enviable news in Ming Dynasty newspapers. I really hope that the French army can be as powerful as Ming's army."

Pierre's heart moved, and he said, "It's not impossible—you know, we once sent a group of foreign students to Daming, and among these foreign students, some of them had much better grades than other foreign students."

"The prime minister of Ming Dynasty told me that after these students graduate, they will have the opportunity to be recommended to serve in the army of Ming Dynasty and learn military knowledge of Ming Dynasty."
