Liu Chongjiao was naturally grateful for the emperor's generosity. How could he not be moved? After all, Daming's father had not planned to have him before.
It is a pity and congratulations to be able to return to the arms of Dad Ming now.
While being moved, he listened to His Majesty's words.
"I am very pleased with the three hundred maids you sent, but I am not short of maids here. I ordered ten of them to stay. As for the others, I plan to reward the meritorious officers in the army. If you don't agree with it,
…”
Before Emperor Zhu Da could finish speaking, Liu Chongjiao said quickly.
"Your Majesty, it is a blessing that Korean women can serve the soldiers of tomorrow's dynasty. It has been cultivated for three generations. How can I disagree with such a great thing?"
Liu Zhongjiao was speaking from his heart. Even at this moment, he found a sense of superiority again. Last time, Jin Dachuan didn't say that Japan would have a great influence on the Ming Dynasty in the future. But Japan is a traitor, how can they compare with it?
What about North Korea?
Who do Japanese women marry?
They are just ordinary people, but when Korean women come here, they marry soldiers of the Ming Dynasty and they are meritorious. This is an obvious difference in status!
Just like a brothel girl, if one is serving a village barbarian and the other is serving a high-ranking official, of course the latter one is more superior.
Women in North Korea married officers and soldiers of the Ming Dynasty, and they were the ones with meritorious service. This clearly shows that North Korea's status is much higher than that of Japan.
Liu Chongjiao only felt that he was infinitely superior, thought for a moment and said again.
"I heard that the Ming Dynasty was founded in a foreign land. Everything was not easy. There were many boys and girls in the country. If Your Majesty does not give up, when I return to Korea, I will report it to the King of Ming Dynasty and ask the King to allow Korean women to marry to the Ming Dynasty in order to continue the great things in Korea.
heart of!"
Use women to make friends with Ming Dynasty!
This is a big deal!
It's just that in the past, Korean women were paid as tribute to the Ming Emperor, but now Korean women are married to Ming Dynasty people.
Moreover, in Liu Chongjiao's view, doing so would not only help improve Ming's perception of North Korea and show that North Korea was his true son, but it could also make Ming Dynasty treat North Korea differently in the future through such a marriage and friendship!
As for where the woman comes from?
Will there still be a shortage of women in North Korea? It would be enough to recruit them from just a few villages.
There is not much in North Korea right now, but there are so many people that they can hardly feed them. I don’t know how many people don’t even have food to eat. There are hungry people everywhere in North Korea. They are definitely willing to send their daughters to the government in exchange for a few buckets of rice.
Grain, one or two pieces of cloth to sustain the household.
And this is "marriage", not to become a slave in the Ming Dynasty, but to marry into the Ming Dynasty. If a Korean marry a Ming Dynasty person, it will be a blessing for several lifetimes.
"Since you are getting married, there must be a betrothal gift!"
Emperor Zhu Da said directly.
"It is already a blessing for a woman from a lower state to marry into the kingdom of heaven. How dare you ask for any kind of betrothal gift!"
“The etiquette cannot be discarded!”
Emperor Zhu Da said directly.
"I heard that the local bride price is two pieces of cloth, right?"
"That's pretty much it."
Liu Chongjiao replied.
"Then let's do this. From now on, the bride price will be 5 pieces of cloth for each woman!"
Alas, Emperor Zhu Da still turned himself into the most annoying person. How could he raise prices randomly? But this can't be said to be raising prices randomly. After all, the government will definitely take a cut of it, and in the end it will fall to
If the common people have one or two pieces of cloth in their hands, it is a sign of mercy from the government.
"5 pieces of cloth!"
Liu Chongjiao said hurriedly.
"Your Majesty, the courtesy is too heavy, the courtesy is too heavy, why should it be like this, why should it be like this!"
"The Ming Dynasty will not let its own people suffer!"
Liu Chongjiao was so moved. He was truly worthy of being a member of the Celestial Empire, with extraordinary magnanimity and such generosity!
Such a good deal is rare!
At the same time, Emperor Zhu Da also felt that this deal was very good.
After all, in Daming, the ex-factory price of a piece of cloth is less than 0.2 yuan. Even if it is converted into five pieces of cloth, including the sky-high shipping cost, it is only one Ming yuan.
In other words, a North Korean woman only needs one Ming Yuan or one yuan.
What is one dollar enough for in Daming?
Although, one dollar is still very valuable these days, almost enough for a person to live in Daming for more than half a month. After all, food and drink in Daming are very cheap.
But you can buy a wife for just one dollar!
In the Ming Dynasty, even the lowest-paid worker only received 17 or 18 yuan a month, so he could buy more than a dozen!
Of course, Ming Dynasty was a civilized country, how could it objectify women?
This dollar is the betrothal gift.
Even if these North Korean women arrived in the Ming Dynasty, the Ming Dynasty would not sell them. After undergoing physical examination and immigration education, they would go to factories or factories in military dependent areas to have free love with Ming Dynasty officers, soldiers and workers.
As for that dollar... it will just be deducted from their wages in the future.
Of course, this will also help the Ming Dynasty's textile industry. After all, all countries are in the midst of an economic crisis. Not to mention the sluggish market, the textile industry has been in depression for almost ten years.
It's a good deal to trade excess cloth for women!
"Liu Chongjiao."
"I'm here."
"Actually, in addition to women marrying to the Ming Dynasty, they can also send laborers. North Korea is a small country with thalassemia, and the people's harvest is not enough to survive. The Ming Dynasty has aspirations all over the world. Both the mainland and the colonies need a large number of laborers. The treatment given to workers by the Ming Dynasty is still
Very good, basically providing food and housing, eight silver dollars a month. If North Korea can have more than ten to two hundred thousand workers, the monthly remittance alone would be over one million silver dollars. Calculated in a year, it would be tens of millions of silver dollars.
There are still some, and this will also help North Korea!"
Why should we recognize this son of North Korea?
In the final analysis, it's all about those imperial consumables. North Korea has a population of tens of millions, and those Koreans who are hungry on the Korean peninsula are the best consumables for the empire.
Since there are consumables, of course we must make the best use of them. Even if we use those consumables, we must do so in the name of benefiting them.
Just like in another world, when Americans brought Koreans to the battlefield in Vietnam, Koreans kept talking about "eliminating poverty with blood". Even if they became consumables for a big country, they were grateful.
Now the development of Ming Dynasty also needs these consumables.
What is a biological father!
This is my biological father!
In an instant, Liu Zhongjiao almost knelt down again. This is the grace a father shows his son. Such a gift has never been seen before in ancient times.
North Korea doesn't have much, it just has a lot of people, but little land. Those farmers with no land or little land are themselves a factor of instability. Now Daming's father has taken the initiative to help North Korea get rid of this trouble, not to mention, and also let North Korea benefit from it.
This is something only a biological father would think about!
Seeing Liu Chongjiao's moved expression, Emperor Zhu Da didn't think anything of it.
As for imperial consumables, the more the better. Not to mention the dozens or even millions of consumables needed in Africa, even the Success Islands require hundreds of thousands of consumables. The reclamation of tropical rainforests and the work of plantations there are all
It requires a lot of supplies. While the imperial supplies use their lives to turn the barbaric wilderness into fertile farmland, the people of Ming Dynasty can avoid using their lives to fight against the harsh environment. After all, the risks in mature areas are very low.
Of course, Daming treated the consumables well. They were paid eight yuan a month and had one day off every seven days. How could they not cherish such good treatment?
In fact, whether it was North Korea or Japan, Emperor Zhu Da was equal to a bowl of water and would never favor one over the other. In the end, Emperor Zhu Da even took the initiative to ask North Korea to send students to the Ming Dynasty.
If your own sons are unwilling to learn modern science, then the father should make the decision for them and let them learn it! But just like Japan, what does the Ming Dynasty need?
Of course, it is to cultivate a "Muhua faction" who worships the Ming Dynasty in their bones. Only in this way can the Ming Dynasty realize its big plan in the future - turning North Korea and Japan into the Ming Dynasty's territory since ancient times!
North Korea and Japan both belong to the Ming Dynasty!
