Chapter 655
The implementation of the strategy toward Japan is, in essence, a practice of Dachu’s foreign policy of “Zhuhua Zhuxia”, that is, with Dachu as the core and Japan, North Korea, Burma, Dacheng and other countries as Zhuxia , constructing a diplomatic relationship different from the traditional tributary system.

Today, Da Chu has made many new changes to this set of foreign policies. That is to say, according to the traditional concept, Mongolia and Nanyang can be regarded as Zhuxia, but Ning Yu disagrees. He directly regards Mongolia, Tibet as As well as Nanyang Province, which was newly included in the territory, it has become the same as other provinces, "Zhuhua", that is, it belongs to the sacred and indivisible land of Dachu. The reason is that these places are all areas that can be assimilated. Have the foundation of integration.

As for countries like North Korea and Japan that already have their own national consciousness, it is very difficult for Dachu to truly integrate them. If they just annex them by force, they will become two indigestible bombs that may be ignited at any time. It's not something that can be changed by any means Ning Yu uses, but the general trend of the development of the times.

"Military control, economic coercion, and cultural assimilation."

Facing many ministers, Ning Yu emphasized, "This is not only our decision for Japan, but also a decision for other Xia in the future. Only through all-round control can the entire Chinese Empire be integrated in essence. .”

Cui Wancai stroked his beard lightly and smiled, and said softly: "What your majesty said made the old minister suddenly see the light. Now that I, the Great Chu, is controlling the influence in many ways, it is expected that these small countries of Quer will not be able to make trouble."

"Not only that, but when the future division of the Chinese Empire's economic structure is established, the entire empire's economy will also be connected together to achieve unimpeded economic circulation throughout the entire empire. More importantly, we can fully utilize the model of economic division of labor, These small Xia countries can no longer get rid of the Great Chu and the Huaxia Empire."

Ning Yu looked a little excited, as if he had already seen the future, "The entire Chinese Empire exists as a complete economy. In order to better develop the economy, it is bound to carry out industrial layout, that is, Da Chu is insisting on developing the entire industry. At the same time, we can specifically support the small countries of Zhuxia to develop their characteristic economy."

"Special economy?"

Ning Zhonghai, Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry and Commerce, was a little puzzled. He clearly understood every word the emperor said, but when they were connected together, he became a little confused.

Ning Yu smiled and said: "That's right, the future economic layout must not be done independently, and a unified layout is required. For example, Myanmar's land is fertile and the rice planting yield is high. In the future, it can be used as one of my Dachu's granaries to fully develop planting agriculture, while Japan We can focus on the development of economic crop planting industries, as well as characteristic handicraft industries, such as sugar beet planting, sugar extraction industry, etc. Of course, the most important thing is that Dachu is the leader, and further industrialization is needed.”

"With industry as the leader, agriculture as the guarantee, and handicrafts and service industries to promote urban economic development, Great Chu needs to play a leading role in it. At that time, the economy of the entire Chinese Empire can be revitalized through zero tariffs."

Ning Zhonghai finally understood after hearing this. In fact, the key lies in the "zero tariff". As long as there are no obstacles to trade, there will be no obstacles to the industrial development of Dachu in the future, and he can even enjoy exclusive access to the entire Asian region. All markets, and this is destined to be a very precious opportunity.

At that time, these countries will not have any opportunities for industrial development, because the cheap industrial products from Dachu will be directly dumped on Zhuxia countries, and the strong manufacturing capacity coupled with low cost will become They can neither move nor dare to move a mountain of future industry in these countries!

When the industrial markets of Zhuxia countries have completely fallen, the small peasant economy in these countries will also go bankrupt, and they can only passively undertake some market segments that Dachu does not want, and while these markets feed the people of their countries, But it will not pose any threat to Da Chu, it is like raising a fat pig for Da Chu, and whenever Da Chu needs it, he can slaughter it for meat!
Strictly speaking, this set of logic is not complicated, so everyone can figure it out, but the more they think about it, the more they feel that this will become a very terrifying reality, because at that stage, they seem to have a choice, but in fact they don't. There is no such thing as a choice. Perhaps on that day, the people of these countries will wish to join the Great Chu on their own initiative!

The smile on Ning Yu's face became wider and wider, and he said in a low voice: "This is an era of cannibalism, but it's not bloody, they all happened under the table. Maybe someone can find out, but no one can escape .”

"I don't need to be at the top of the food chain, we will directly jump out of the food chain and become the butchers who control their life and death!"

After a long time, a look of shock flashed across the faces of the ministers. All of this was something they did not dare to think of or could not have imagined before. After all, in the past thousands of years, there has been no similar case. It seems that the times have changed here. Turned a corner, making everything so strange and scary.

"A major change that has never been seen in 3000 years!"

Cui Wancai couldn't help but sighed softly. He finally believed what the emperor had said, and what changed him was not the innovation of guns or the magic of steam engines, but Ning Yu's vision of the future economy. The insight of development made him realize a little bit.

There has never been more than one rule of operation in this world. In the rough and barbaric era, there are some things that are different after all.

"It's just that the assimilation of culture seems to be a bigger proposition. I don't know how His Majesty will solve it?" And this is not only the answer that Cui Wancai wants to guess, but also the doubts in the hearts of other ministers.

Ning Yu took a deep breath and finally said the answer.

"Six contract winds, Kyushu co-operate."

That's right, this is after the terms presented to Ning Zuyi last time, Ning Yu once again raised this sentence in front of everyone.

For Ning Yu, the current era has indeed come to a corner. With the continuous advancement of industrialization, Da Chu's body has begun to become stronger, and nutrients are also being continuously delivered, so the next step is to transform these nutrients into Muscles on the body, otherwise those nutrients can only become fat, attracting the covetousness of hungry wolves——

So for this question, the answer Ning Yu gave was something he had never dared to do in the past, that is, to further promote the compulsory education system on the basis of the original education, and turn tens of millions of people in Dachu into Become a quality citizen who can truly take on the rise and fall of the country.

"Everyone is responsible for the rise and fall of the world. Whether it is for Huaxia or for Dachu, it must not be just a superficial country. No matter how rich it is, it will only become a large waste snack."

When Ning Yu was talking about this issue, he couldn't help sighing deeply. The reason why the later Qing court was vulnerable to the Western powers was essentially because it didn't dare to arm the people and trust the Han people. In this era, if you want to truly dominate the world, you must base yourself on the common people.

You must know that the essence of war in this era is to compare the number of people, especially among the top industrialized countries, the weapons that can be owned are basically not much worse, especially the use of rifles will become more and more simple. Coupled with the development of the financial power of various countries, the number of troops began to increase. Even during World War II, the number of mobilized major military powers could reach more than tens of millions!

An army of tens of millions is by no means what the current system of Dachu can achieve. In fact, Ning Yu simply estimated that he can arm 80 people in one year at most, and give him another three years In time, only 300 million people can be armed in total, and these 300 million people are the current limit of Dachu. If there are more, the whole country will collapse.

To put it simply, any country that plays elite soldiers will completely collapse in the face of a sea of ​​​​people. Only those countries that can arm more troops at the fastest speed can have a future.

Just like at the end of the Ming Dynasty, if the Ming Dynasty was able to arm millions of people, no matter how poor their combat effectiveness was, it would not be easy for a few tens of thousands of Eight Banners to destroy them.

"To achieve this, I, Da Chu, must change customs, unify writing, unify language, and even unify thinking, and all of these need to be achieved through education."

Ning Yu said with a serious face: "I think that although my Chu characters have been unified, there are many dialects in various places, which can be said to be different in pronunciation. Even neighbors have language barriers. Therefore, I think that if you want to realize If nine states share the same style, we must use compulsory education to popularize the same language throughout the country and even the entire East Asia.”

"Same language?"

The ministers were quickly shocked by this idea. You must know that although it is difficult to unify the script, it is not worth mentioning in front of the unification of the language, because the former only needs to face the people who account for less than [-]% of the total population. Scholars, while the latter need to face hundreds of millions of people.

Ning Yu nodded and said: "That's right, I think that only through a common language can the people of my Great Chu and even the entire Huaxia Empire in the future be able to communicate through the same language, which will be better." Cultivate national spirit and national consciousness, and subtly make them become people of quality who are loyal to the emperor and patriotic."

"Even in Japan, North Korea and other countries in the future, this language can be popularized. At that time, the assimilation of culture can be used to achieve the current goal, that is, the style of Liutong and the commonness of Kyushu."

Cui Wancai shook his head lightly, and said in a slow voice: "It is not uncommon to correct the pronunciation. In the Ming Dynasty, Emperor Hongwu ordered the formulation of the 'Hongwu Zhengyun'. Even in the Qing Dynasty, Emperor Kangxi also ordered the correct pronunciation. , but unfortunately with little success.”

In fact, neither Ning Yu nor the ministers present here know that in the eighth year of Yongzheng in the original history, Emperor Yongzheng did something unprecedented, that is, he personally ordered the promotion of "Mandarin" and set up a special Founded a school dedicated to training 'Mandarin' - Zhengyin Academy.

The reason is also very simple. Not only was Emperor Ning deeply troubled by the differences in dialects, but even Yongzheng deeply felt the same, and ordered all scholars to learn Mandarin. Candidates are not allowed to be sent to the test." "The governors of Fujian and Guangdong provinces have ordered the divisions and instructors of their prefectures and counties to spread the teachings and teach in many ways, so that the language can be understood and people can understand it, and they must not continue to learn the local accent."

In order to popularize "Mandarin", 110 libraries and academies called "Zhengyin" have been "established" in various parts of Fujian, with an average of one in each county, and Guangdong has set up social studies "training" in every urban and rural area. It can be said that the efforts are still very strong, but the results are not ideal. Due to various reasons, this policy will not be done in the end.

However, one of the main reasons is that in China in this era, there is no later Chinese pinyin, but a very complicated set of "Fanqie" phonetic notation, that is, two Chinese characters are used to phonetize another Chinese character, Fanqie The initials of the upper characters are the same as those of the marked characters, and the finals and tones of the lower characters are the same as those of the marked characters, which can be called cumbersome and difficult to learn. Even Ning Yu found it very complicated after a few glances, so it is normal that it is difficult to learn.

As a future traveler, Ning Yu knew the power of "Hanyu Pinyin" very well, so he said to himself: "There is little effect mainly because 'Fanqie' is difficult to learn. I have created a set of phonetic notation methods by myself. You only need to master 26 Latin letters and five tonal symbols to spell out complete Mandarin, which is not complicated to learn.”

"Your Majesty said, you can give it a try. If you can simplify learning, it will naturally be easy to popularize." Cui Wancai nodded quickly. Seeing the emperor's confident appearance, he naturally couldn't object.

Ning Yu said with a smile: "Of course, 'Chinese Pinyin' still needs people to promote it, so I think that on the basis of the original compulsory education, we need to send teachers to study 'Chinese Pinyin' intensively, so that more students can be brought in. To learn, and they will gradually lead the next generation of fashion."

On this matter, Ning Yu thought very clearly. For the older generation, it is too difficult and impractical for them to suddenly learn another language. Through compulsory education, the success rate will be higher. When they grow up, the language status will naturally be greatly improved.

"In the future, all government and private schools in Dachu will have to use official language for teaching, and must not continue to use dialect for teaching. In addition, all officials and officials need to learn official language within three years. You will be dismissed directly.”

"As for the communication with Zhuxia countries, the official language will also be used in an all-round way, and I will also issue orders to Korean and Japanese officials to fully promote the Dachu official language. Of course, the Ministry of Education must cooperate more, and the relevant training teachers will also It needs a lot of training. In the future, we can carry out reward policies for those who are excellent in language as appropriate."
