Seeing Tang He's hesitation, Han Du added another element of anger, "Didn't I just wonder how I could promise Zhao Xian and others?"
Tang He suddenly raised his head, waiting for Han Du's explanation. Is there any connection between these two things?
Han Du explained: "In the future, when the Ming Dynasty will set up prefectures and counties here, if the officials sent are all from the Ming Dynasty, then they will naturally become monolithic. This is extremely detrimental to the Ming Dynasty. However, if in the government office
It will place and promote some local officials, so no matter who wants to become bigger, it may not be easy."
Wonderful!
Tang He couldn't help but slap his thigh and looked at Han Du in admiration. Just like Han Du said, everyone has their own interests. The interests of officials promoted locally are naturally local. As long as these people are there
, then whoever wants to become big must first ask these local officials. Moreover, as long as local officials are not allowed to sit in the highest position, there is no need to worry about them being too big. They themselves will not allow anyone to deviate.
The court, because if the court is angered and the army is pressed, the local people will be the unlucky ones. They have lived here for generations and have nowhere to run.
And there is an advantage to doing this. That is, we can also work together when dealing with the outside world. Originally, if there are two groups of people in a government office facing tit-for-tat, it will be very harmful to the entire government. But this kind of
Fan towns are different. First of all, the highest officials must have been sent by the Ming Dynasty. Although they may not be able to deal with the local promoted officials, or they may not be able to urinate in the same pot. But when facing foreign enemies, local officials
They will definitely be the first to stand up and resist resolutely, because if foreign enemies invade, they will be the first to suffer. All their family properties are on this island. If they don't stand up to resist, who will stand up to resist?
And the officials of the Ming Dynasty will definitely not hold back at this time, because they will still want to be promoted after all. If they mess up, forget about being promoted, or they will be imprisoned.
Therefore, if the two parties confront each other, not only will there be no harm, but on the contrary, there will be many benefits. At least when the time comes, both parties will want to hug Ming's thigh tightly.
In this way, it is basically impossible to want the emperor to be as big as the sky is high and the emperor is far away.
Han Du saw that Tang He was getting more and more excited as he thought about it, so he continued: "How do you think the Ming Dynasty should treat this place?"
"If you have any ideas, just say it directly." Tang He couldn't wait to say it. After finishing speaking, he felt that his words seemed to show that he had no ability. So he added, "Well, I can help.
Please refer to the details."
Han Du didn't pay attention to Tang He's guilty conscience, and said to himself: "Since the Ming Dynasty cannot manage this place like it is within the territory, then the Ming Dynasty will naturally not invest too much here. Therefore, we think we can make this place
Consider it a resource place for the Ming Dynasty."
"What do you mean?" Tang He asked confused.
"It means that the Ming Dynasty should regard obtaining resources from this place as its main purpose." Han Du explained. Seeing that Tang He still didn't understand, he gave an example: "Take Luzon as an example. The Ming Dynasty can obtain resources from Lu Song."
What did the Song Dynasty gain? From Zhao Xian and others, we know that there are many copper mines on Luzon Island. But our Ming Dynasty is not
There is often a shortage of copper, so this copper is the resource that Ming Dynasty needs to obtain from here."
Tang He understood this explanation. He also believed that Han Du's idea was right. The Ming Dynasty was already very short of copper. After Han Du made the fire blunderbuss, the copper material of the Ming Dynasty became even more scarce.
Because the warhead and casing of each bullet are made of copper. The copper material consumed by one bullet alone is no less than ten cents. At first glance, the copper material consumed by a million bullets is not much.
It’s just ten thousand guan.
However, you must know that the consumption of these bullets is very large. This time Han Du went to sea with less than 2,000 people. But the bullets he brought on board was one million. One million bullets, divided equally
There are only 500 pills for each of the two thousand soldiers.
The navy is not the army. Maybe a few dozen bullets are enough for a battle. But once the navy goes to sea, it may take several months, or even half a year. How many battles can it encounter during this period?
Uncountable.
If you are unlucky, it is possible to fight more than ten times a month.
Therefore, five hundred bullets per person is not only not many, but also completely insufficient. If Han Du hadn't known, everyone else in the world would still be fighting with bows and arrows. Han Du would not have dared to carry so few bullets, filling the sea with them.
Shaking around.
Even so, the cost of this trip to sea was enough to drive Lao Zhu crazy.
As the Ming Dynasty has more and more firecrackers in the future, the consumption of bullets will naturally increase. If the Ming Dynasty really does not have more sources of copper, I am afraid that there will be an embarrassing situation where the Ming Dynasty has guns but no ammunition.
"Officers sent by Ming Dynasty will naturally try their best to obtain resources for Ming Dynasty."
Tang He did not refute. The biggest task of officials in the Ming Dynasty was to educate the people, but the first priority of the officials here was to obtain resources. Although the purposes of the two were different, they both reached the same goal by different routes, and both were for the benefit of the Ming Dynasty.
"If you have such an idea, I'm afraid no officials will come." Tang He couldn't help but say.
Come to think of it, after traveling thousands of miles to come here, there is no benefit at all, and you have to fight with local officials every day. Who would be willing to do such a terrible thing?
Han Du smiled and said, "I believe that there will be brave men under the heavy reward. Anyway, the imperial court is to obtain the resources of this place, so why not just think that the Ming Dynasty gathers wealth based on how much it is worth. Not only that, but it can also set rules, as long as
If these officials turn over a certain amount of wealth to the Ming Dynasty, they can be rewarded with 10% of the wealth. The more they turn in, the higher the reward ratio will be."
"You, aren't you encouraging officials to make money?" Tang He was startled by Han Du's words and could not help scolding him softly.
"Without the sycamore tree, where would the golden phoenix be attracted?" Han Du disagreed with this, "It seems that the officials took away 10%, but Ming Dynasty got more. If no one is willing to come here, Ming Dynasty will get a penny."
None of the benefits will be gained. Which is more important or less important, I think the emperor can figure it out clearly."
"Moreover, it can deepen the conflict between him and local officials, right?" Tang He couldn't help but sigh. This money can't fall from the sky, it can only come from sheep.
Under such conditions, the officials who came here, whether for the imperial court or for themselves, would inevitably make money crazily. Seeing Tang He's hesitation, Han Du added to his anger, "Didn't you doubt me just now?
Will you promise Zhao Xian and others?"
Tang He suddenly raised his head, waiting for Han Du's explanation. Is there any connection between these two things?
Han Du explained: "In the future, when the Ming Dynasty will set up prefectures and counties here, if the officials sent are all from the Ming Dynasty, then they will naturally become monolithic. This is extremely detrimental to the Ming Dynasty. However, if in the government office
