Chapter 1050, take the colonial road with the characteristics of the Ming Dynasty
In Liu Jin's house in the capital, Liu Jin was lying on his master's chair and fast asleep. The summer in the capital was also quite hot. In an era without electric fans or air conditioning, it was really uncomfortable to live in this summer.
Fortunately, Liu Jin is now considered a privileged class. There are people around to take care of him. He is sleeping soundly. There are two little maids beside him who are sweating and fanning Liu Jin, so that Liu Jin can enjoy himself comfortably.
After taking a nap, Liu Jin woke up automatically.
Nowadays, Liu Jin is in a high-ranking position and is busy with affairs, so he can no longer have as much leisure time as before.
When Liu Jin woke up, he was swaying slowly, but his mind was thinking about important national affairs.
"The war with Portugal, England, and France has been won. The effect of this war is still very great. At least in a short period of time, the English may not be able to get up, and the powerful Spain will not let England rise.
.”
"In Europe, Spain, France, and the Holy Roman Empire will compete in the future. Some of the Renaissance atmosphere in Europe has also spread to our Ming Dynasty. This is also good. The exchanges between civilizations can promote each other.
progress and development.”
"Although the Ming Dynasty is one step ahead now, it is not necessarily better than the Europeans in basic science. If you learn some of their things, you can also strengthen your own weak areas. Combined with your own situation, you will definitely be able to form a unique set of science.
system."
Thinking of this, Liu Jin couldn't help but smile.
In the world before I traveled, almost all systems were based on Europeans. Whether it was science, medicine, art, politics, economy, etc., almost all of them were based on Europeans. Almost all systems were based on Europeans.
All countries are ****, so much so that they have lost many things passed down by their ancestors.
The things passed down by our ancestors are not necessarily all good, and some are bad, just like the things in the West are not necessarily all good, but also have a bad side.
Once many good things are lost, it is difficult to get them back.
It is different now. Ming Dynasty is the most powerful country, with strong strength and sufficient self-confidence. Liu Jin believes that with continuous development and progress, Ming Dynasty will inevitably form a system with Ming Dynasty characteristics, whether it is
In science or in other aspects.
Of course, in this process, we need to constantly absorb the advantages of other civilizations while constantly discarding the dross of our own civilization, so that we can develop rapidly.
"Hong Kong, when you get older, you must visit it."
Soon, Liu Jin thought of Hong Kong and couldn't help but smile.
To be honest, this is my revenge as a time traveler, my revenge against the English. Apart from that, there is no other meaning in it. Of course, it is also great to have a Ming Dynasty colony in Western Europe.
"The Ottoman Empire was severely beaten this time. The number of troops wiped out by the Ming army alone exceeded 500,000, and the number of people massacred exceeded one million. Its strength was greatly damaged. I believe it will not be so arrogant in the future."
"In this area, the best choice is to let the Ottoman Empire and the Persian Empire fight each other fiercely. However, I am afraid that the Persian Empire is not a rival to the Ottoman Empire yet, and it will be necessary to support it in the future."
"The most important thing to keep an eye on now is the Rus' people in the north of the Black Sea. The last two hundred years have been the time when the Muscovy Principality has risen. We must take advantage of the current opportunity to nip it in the bud."
A map of the world appeared in Liu Jin's mind, and he was constantly thinking about it.
"The Crimean Tatars still need to be supported, so that they can continue to rob Eastern Europe. It is best to rob the population here. When the time is right, our Ming Dynasty will annex the Crimean Khanate.
Come and incorporate this black land into the territory of Ming Dynasty."
"When the time comes, we will expand the Ming Dynasty's territory to the Baltic Sea. In this way, we will basically complete a huge territory, stretching from east to west, across Europe and Asia."
"This area is a good place. It is very fertile and it is a large plain. There is nothing wrong with it except that it is a bit cold."
"Well, the immigration matter cannot stop. There are really too few Han people here in Nanyun Province. If you want to rule here for a long time, you must continue to immigrate there, and at the same time, you must assimilate the native Caucasians."
"Occupying the river will have a bridgehead to continue westward. Occupying Nanyun Province will be equivalent to having a bridgehead to enter Eastern Europe. In a few years, when we have established a firm footing here, we can then conquer the north.
The Caucasus and the vast area east of the Ural Mountains.”
"In a few more years, we can almost start attacking those Slavic principalities, all the way to the sea of pineapples."
"Well, let's go in ten years. Ten years is almost enough."
Thinking of this, Liu Jin couldn't help laughing.
If this plan can really be realized, the territory of the Ming Dynasty will be really vast beyond imagination, and the entire northern part of the Eurasian continent will become the territory of the Ming Dynasty.
"Such a vast territory, even if nothing is done, is excellent for grazing cattle and sheep. In a few hundred years, as technology develops, the resources here will be enough to feed countless generations."
Liu Jin thought of the polar bears of later generations, who had vast lands and endless resources, and could live a very comfortable life just by selling resources.
Think about several countries in East Asia, whether it is chickens, nanbangzi, or flower growers, although they are all hard-working and motivated, the average working hours are the highest in the world.
But when it comes to this small life, people in the three countries actually have a very tiring life, which is far less comfortable, relaxed and comfortable than the polar bear people.
In the final analysis, it is still a question of resources. These three countries have large populations but few resources. They can only develop by fighting and working hard. However, Western countries generally occupy vast areas of land but have very sparse populations.
If you have a lot of resources, you can naturally live your life lying down.
The reason why Liu Jin is obsessed with occupying more and wider land is based on this. As long as he occupies enough land and has enough resources, his descendants will be able to live a prosperous life even if they are lying down.
The population is soaring and there are not enough resources and land, so they have come up with their own policies to restrict themselves from having children. After all, countries around the world encourage childbirth.
"Asia, Australia, America, Tianzhu, African colonies, such a huge territory, even if the population of our Ming Dynasty were dozens of times larger, it would still be vast and sparsely populated."
"Okay, okay, finally my trip to time travel was not in vain."
Liu Jin shook his master's chair, and the smile on his face became even brighter.
"Well, there are a lot of slaves. Male slaves still have to strictly implement the castration system. You can't imitate the Europeans. Don't take advantage of it for a long time, and ultimately benefit the descendants of those slaves."
"It doesn't matter if no one is opening up now. Just leave the land. There is no need to imitate the Europeans and use a large number of slaves. Although it saves trouble and effort in a short period of time and develops the land, it will form a dependence on slaves. Later,
At that time, the slave stood up, sang, and began to bully the master's descendants."
"This is not okay~"
"The Ming Dynasty is different from European countries. The Ming Dynasty itself has an extremely large population. As long as these people continue to migrate to various places and bring in a large number of foreign women, the population can grow very quickly, just like gold.
It’s the same here in China.”
"The number of native immigrants in the Ming Dynasty was only over one million, but the descendants born to the Indians have already exceeded one million. The population is growing very fast, and there is no need to use too many slaves."
Thinking of this, Liu Jin silently wrote down this point.
It is definitely not possible to ban things like slaves. The plantations in Nanyang, the river system, the Western Regions, the world of Nanyun, and the manors all require a lot of labor. In addition, many princes of the Ming Dynasty, major trading houses in Tianzhu, colonies in Africa, and vassal states also
It also requires a lot of labor.
The people of Ming Dynasty alone are definitely not enough, so a large number of slaves are still needed to better develop these areas, but the situation in Ming Dynasty is different from that of European colonists in history.
The Ming Dynasty's own population grew extremely fast, so slaves needed to be controlled, male slaves had to be castrated, and slaves needed to be used within a short period of one or two hundred years.
When your population increases, science and technology develop, and machinery begins to become popular, slaves will no longer be needed, and future instability factors can be eliminated.
Think about the situation before you time traveled. The Europeans were once very good and colonized almost all the world. However, because their population was too small and with the awakening of the nation, they quickly lost their colonies in almost all parts of the world.
Today's Ming Dynasty is different from them, so it naturally has to adopt different colonial strategies and pay more attention to the future.
Well, it depends on local conditions. Ming Dynasty and Europe are different, so we can't just copy them blindly.
"Master~"
"Professor Li Anyuan from Daming Medical College wants to meet~"
Just when Liu Jin was immersed in his own world, the servant at home came over and reminded him in a low voice.
"Oh, okay~"
"Go and talk to the two ladies and ask them to bring the child over to be vaccinated against smallpox."
When Liu Jin heard this, he nodded and said.
"Yes~"
When the servant heard this, he quickly went to the backyard to inform Xu Waner and Li Zhen.
As for Liu Jin himself, he walked towards the living room.
The smallpox vaccination technology has matured. Large-scale experiments have been carried out in Huanghuangzhou without any problems. Liu Jin is also preparing to carry out comprehensive promotion throughout the Ming Dynasty. Naturally, he and his family will also need to be vaccinated, which can be regarded as taking the lead.
