There is absolutely nothing wrong with hiring overseas workers to make up for the shortage of human resources.
Compared with the Europeans who only care about employment without caring about life and death, the Ming Dynasty is undoubtedly the "light of humanity" in this world.
Even Chen Wenqiang, who was the Minister of Immigration, did not know that in the following 30 years, African companies hired tens of millions of indentured laborers. Of course, not all of these indentured laborers were sent to the North Sea or Alaska for mining. The vast majority of them were
They were cultivating plantations, building railways and completing other related work in Africa. After the work was completed, these indentured laborers were sent home and reunited with their families with the rewards of ten years of indentured labor.
Of course, these are all things for later, but in the following decades, the hard work of these workers made a great contribution to the overall rise of Ming Dynasty, and of course, they also received corresponding rewards.
However, at the beginning, not many people could accept this kind of thing. After all, among the top officials of the Ming Dynasty, a considerable number of them came from indentured labor, and only ministers of various ministries, that is, ministers of various ministries, had
Both of them were born as indentured laborers.
Wang Xinjie, the left minister of the Ministry of Education, well, he was also born as an indentured laborer. He was a scholar and he was the first elementary school principal in Nanhua. Now he is in charge of primary and secondary education in the Ministry of Education, Culture and Sports. As soon as he learned that the imperial court was going to use "indentured labor" in the mines in Beihai and Alaska.
"After that, he immediately asked to see His Majesty to express his attitude.
"Your Majesty, don't do to others what you don't want to do to others! Since we are opposed to Westerners hiring Chinese workers, how can we..."
Before Wang Xinjie finished speaking, Zhu Xianhai said.
"Oh, mining is not only hard work, but also fatal. Every Chinese person is extremely precious to the Ming Dynasty!"
What about non-Chinese people?
How can I, the Lord of the Ming Dynasty, be responsible for other people?
They are not the people of the Ming Dynasty, and I am not the emperor of the United States, nor am I the policeman of the world, so why should I seek trouble?
Even the US imperialists selectively see or not see it based on their interests.
For the US emperor, if a country does not serve his interests, he will definitely be able to see all kinds of things that country does. All he needs is to find various reasons to interfere in that country's internal affairs.
If it is in his interest, any injustice or racial discrimination can be ignored directly.
Our Ming Dynasty does not need to find reasons to beat others like them. Of course, there are not so many so-called responsibilities for those foreigners.
In fact, that's how it was originally.
Of course a country has to take care of its own people, not foreigners.
What does it have to do with me?
"this……"
Wang Jie was stunned and said weakly,
"Long live my lord, this is an act that hurts the people. Although they are not members of the Ming Dynasty, your Majesty is a sage in this world. Naturally, he will not condone his subordinates to act as slaves in the name of indentured labor..."
Look at what you said, "indentured laborers" are paid. Do slaves get paid? Not only do they get paid, but they also get food and housing.
But Wang Xinjie doesn't think so. How many people can survive the eight-year construction period, not to mention the ten-year construction period? How long did they stay in the gold mine back then? How many people survived in the end?
God can testify that after the ten-year construction period is over, if 10% or 20% of the people can go home alive, it will be God’s blessing!
From a scholar to the Taiping Army, from a prisoner to an indentured laborer, from an indentured laborer to the minister of culture, Wang Xinjie has always been conscientious in his work. Faced with such things that go against his conscience, of course he has to stand up and oppose it.
He even wanted to learn from the history books about those Ming ministers who were not afraid of the imperial staff and speak frankly. However, he obviously made a mistake. Since Zhu Xianhai, the Ming emperor, was neither Wanli nor Jiajing, Wang Xinjie was not a strong minister of the Ming Dynasty.
The great emperor only showed a slight dissatisfaction, and Wang Xinjie immediately withered away, without the need for the imperial staff at all.
"Slave! According to what you said, it was me, the emperor, who took the lead in letting people use slaves!"
Emperor Zhu Da immediately said angrily.
"I've been working on it for a long time, but the roots are with me! Is that what you mean?"
His Majesty's anger made Wang Xinjie almost throw himself to the ground to plead guilty.
"Wei Chen, Wei Chen's crime deserves ten thousand death, his crime deserves ten thousand death...Long live my Lord, I, I, I thought that the Ming Dynasty's indentured labor must be different from the Westerners, I, I'm going to call you soon!"
Wang Xinjie walked away in disgrace.
Looking at his back, Zhu Xianhai felt a little helpless.
You said that if you just ask the Minister of Education to take care of your education, wouldn't it be enough?
It's true that you have to interfere with things other than your own responsibilities.
And it’s still a matter for foreigners, so isn’t it just a matter of eating carrots and worrying about it?
At the same time, he knew that it was time for the Minister of Education to move his position. What kind of world is this?
The world of tigers and wolves!
Without the heart of a tiger or a wolf, how can we survive in this world of the jungle and the strong?
In this world where the weak eat the strong, the rule of survival is very simple, either be a tiger or a wolf, or be a fish.
A country that doesn't even have the slightest bit of heartlessness is definitely not worthy of living in this world!
However, Wang Xinjie is very serious about his work and is the kind of person who will do his best as long as he is given a job. This is also the person Zhu Xianhai put him in charge of primary and secondary education.
In this era, there are not many education experts in Ming Dynasty. What they need most is the kind of people who can work seriously, or in other words, implement his plans seriously. At this point, Wang Xinjie is quite satisfactory. After all, the general direction will naturally have Zhu Zhu.
The great emperor will take charge of it himself.
In fact, Emperor Zhu Da himself did not understand education, but he had a foresight that was a century and a half ahead of his time. Although Emperor Zhu Da could not handle everything, he was able to steer the ship with ease.
For example, in terms of education, he established the "four, two, three, three" schooling system from the beginning, which is four years of junior primary school. This is compulsory education.
The reason why four-year compulsory education is implemented is ultimately limited by financial resources, but this is almost always the case in this era.
Four-year compulsory education allows children to learn to read, read, and do math, and gain a basic understanding of the world.
At least they can read books and newspapers in their future lives, and even when they encounter some problems, they can turn to some reference books to solve them.
All children under the age of 15 must receive compulsory education. Of course, in addition to coercion, there are also inducements - in order to get parents to take the initiative to send their children to school, he even asked the school to provide free lunches.
Fortunately, Ming Dynasty is a big agricultural country, and it is just a free lunch for hundreds of thousands of children. Zhu Xianhai cannot guarantee whether a glass of milk can strengthen a nation, but Ming Dynasty can still afford this glass of milk, and can also afford meat.
.
At least the physical fitness of Daming's children can be improved at the starting line!
With this glass of milk and a piece of meat, within a few generations, the physical fitness of the people dragged down by the Manchu Qing Dynasty's "glorious age" can be restored to its original level!
However, just eating and drinking well is not enough!
"In this barbaric world, if you want to survive, you will definitely not be able to survive by relying on benevolence, justice and morality. "Civilize your spirit and barbarize your body." In fact, when you deal with barbarians, you have to become barbaric yourself! Civilization is too civilized
Over time, if we forget the true face of barbarism, the country will suffer!"
While talking to himself, Emperor Zhu Da shook his head and decided secretly in his heart.
"This Wang Xinjie...well, move his position! We can't let him train only benevolent and righteous gentlemen!"
Of course, Zhu Xianhai does not deny that social development requires such people, but people with a "Mary's heart" will definitely not survive in this era. A country of the Virgin in this era must be fat in the mouth of wild beasts.
"Civilization! It's a good thing, but in the jungle, you'd better learn to be a beast first!"
Shaking his head and sighing, Zhu Xianhai frowned and said as if he thought of something.
"It seems that military physical education classes alone are not enough. We need to find other ways to awaken the people's martial spirit!"
Although Zhu Xianhai promoted "military-civilian education" as early as the Nanhua period and also promoted "military sports" in schools, in his opinion, there were still some shortcomings.
Martial spirit!
How to awaken the dormant martial spirit of a nation from deep within?
This issue is a bit more complicated.
