I am Da Song

Chapter 550 Experience the Iron Fist of Imperialism

Under the impact of the beauty of Song clothing, Nanyang Fanbang is actually very similar to the style of the Song Dynasty.

In the entire tributary system, the civilized costumes of each state converged to that of the Song Dynasty.

Especially women and nobles are almost flocking to buy the exquisite costumes of the Song Dynasty.

Compared with the fierce promotion of clothing, the promotion of language and characters is not satisfactory.

Only the elites, nobles, and middle-class families in various countries can have the opportunity and financial resources to learn.

Han Sui also spoke bluntly, saying: "Among the foreign states, the biggest gap with the Central Plains is the various languages. This is a helpless thing. The languages ​​and characters of the various states are different. Even the barbarians in many areas want to tribal Only the patriarchs and priests in the village can understand it."

Zhao Huan sat upright, and said to the minister of Honglu Temple beside him: "It is obviously powerless to rely solely on the folks on this matter. It is time to show the prestige of the Holy Dynasty."

"Send an edict to all the vassal states, and all their schools and teaching schools must teach in Chinese."

"This is an iron law. Anyone who violates the order, from the teacher to the student, will be sentenced to eighty sticks. Repeat offenders will be executed!"

Everyone is in awe, what does it mean to have the constitution in your mouth and follow the law when you say it?
It's so obvious at this moment.

With the words of the Son of Heaven, under the whole world, the four seas, the six seas, the six seas, all the wilds, will form an incomparable iron law.

Even in a vassal state thirty thousand miles away, if some schools did not obey the will of the emperor when teaching, there would be a large number of police officers and soldiers rushing in with sticks and wooden sticks, and they would arrest everyone like a wolf and give them a cane punishment. .Then close the school and send everyone away.

The iron fist of imperialism is far more iron-blooded and ruthless than Zhu Xia imagined.

Zhu Xia in the Central Plains had never experienced how terrifying the empire was.

Even in the most desolate Qing Dynasty, the Central Plains people proudly called themselves the kingdom of heaven, and never felt how terrifying foreign countries were.

In fact, the Central Plains once had the opportunity to experience the feeling of a small country, that is, during World War II, the gap between the Midi and the Republic of China was probably desperate.

But unfortunately, the two sides are allies. Although the Central Plains is outdated, it is one of the four giants of the victorious country.On the contrary, Petit France was forcibly pulled in by Mao Xiong.

The status of the Big Four was questioned for a short time, but then it was the most glorious moment of the Chinese army on the Korean battlefield.

While this caused other countries to shut their mouths wisely, Zhu Xia didn't deeply feel that imperialism was terrible.

So Zhu Xia dared to say that all imperialism is a paper tiger.

But if you put in the perspective of people from the Nanyang region and look at this giant in the north, you can truly understand what a terrifying experience it is to go to the kingdom of heaven.

You can understand why they bowed their knees and surrendered decisively when they saw the envoys.

Jiaonan is not considered a small country in Southeast Asia. In the 20th century, all countries on the southeast peninsula would respectfully call him Big Brother.

But how big is this big brother who is regarded as the most powerful country in the region from the Celestial Dynasty?

The population of the Celestial Dynasty is fourteen times that of his, and the per capita GDP is four times that of him!
Can you understand their despair?
Substituting it, it is equivalent to the place bordering the north of the Celestial Dynasty. There is a Zenith star country. This Zenith star country has a population of 196 billion and a per capita GDP of 5 US dollars.

The key is that this country is already so powerful, and its development speed has been ranked first in the world for decades, far surpassing others.

It has a vast territory, countless high-quality talents who have completed higher education, and a world-shaking organization and mobilization ability.

Just having these hard powers in front of your eyes is enough to make you desperate and unable to breathe.It seems that the overwhelming pressure is pouring down.

How the people of the Celestial Dynasty think of this Zenith Star Country, basically how the countries of Southeast Asia think of this behemoth in the north.

But in the Song Dynasty, it was far more than that.

Compared with the countries in Southeast Asia, the Song Dynasty has an unparalleled military advantage, and this military advantage is across the ages.

Even the armed merchant ships of the Song Dynasty can crush the troops of the Nanyang Tufan.To them, the king master of the Great Song Dynasty can be called a heavenly soldier and general.

Therefore, under the iron fist of imperialism, all countries in Southeast Asia will pay tribute to them in a pragmatic manner, actively or passively accepting the baptism of the soft power of Song Dynasty culture.

With the blessing of the imperial authority, from Fusang in the East China Sea to Frankfurt in the west, from the polar ice ocean in the north to the sea area in the south, Zhuxia language will be used as the official first language in the tens of thousands of miles of territory.

That is to say, they can speak Tubang dialect among the people, but all tribute documents, foreign exchanges, book records, legal provisions, government announcements, and contracts must use Zhuxia script.

This point will be crucial, and will rapidly expand the Confucian cultural circle from Goryeo, Fusang, Jiaonan and other places.

Look at Goryeo and Jiaonan, both of which are known as Xiao Zhuxia, and you can see what kind of grand scene will be after the spread of the Confucian cultural circle.

Zhao Huan said: "This edict will obviously change the situation that Han Qing said that the customs of Yi and Di are not the same as those of China. People in all countries in the suzerain-vassal system wear Song clothes and speak Song dialect. kind."

Everyone seriously nodded in agreement, and the officials all knew a truth, those who do not plan for the whole world are not planning for a moment; those who do not plan for the overall situation are not planning for a region.

In order to truly consolidate the suzerain-vassal system, in addition to a strong military, cultural identity is also crucial.

It is the merit of all ages to let all the feudal clans use Zhuxia characters.

As for the fact that there are not enough people who use the language of the Song Dynasty in the various feudal states, what should we do?
It's very simple, as long as the people in the Central Plains are hired with high salaries.

As long as enough resources are spent, some people from the Central Plains will emigrate overseas.

This is also a benefit to the people at the bottom. They may not have strong skills, but a good country of origin makes them very proficient in the language and writing of Zhuxia.

Don't underestimate the literacy rate of the Song Dynasty. Before Zhao Huan traveled, the script had already become popular.

Huaben is not Song Ci, it belongs to popular culture, that is, literature and art that ordinary people like to read.

If the literacy rate is not enough, such things as scriptures will not be popular among the people at all.

Yue Fei, the privy envoy of the Great Song Dynasty, is the best embodiment of literacy rate. His family is the client, that is, the poor who do not have their own land, and have lived by farming for landlords for generations.

But this privy envoy is not only literate, but can also read "Spring and Autumn"!
Han Shizhong, another Jiedu envoy of the two towns, was a rascal since he was a child, known as Han Powu, and beat up all the fortune tellers who praised him for being a prime minister.But this poppy can also read and write poetry.

This was the situation before Zhao Huan vigorously built schools. After Zhao Huan vigorously built schools, the literacy rate of the whole country increased significantly.

It can be said that the vast majority of the common people can benefit from this. As long as they abandon the idea of ​​relocating and relocating, and go to the vassal state for a while, the class leap can be easily achieved immediately.
