Liu Jin looked at Tian Yuanshan and asked with a smile.
"I arrived in the capital half a month ago. I had wanted to visit you for a long time, but I heard that you were very busy some time ago."
Tian Yuanshan also replied quickly and respectfully.
"Hmm~"
"Is your father okay?"
Liu Jin nodded and asked about Tian Erniu again.
"My father is doing well, and he often mentions you, saying that if you hadn't taken me in, my father would have froze to death in the heavy snow."
"This time, my father also asked me to bring you some dried fish, dried meat and northern ginseng from our Golden Continent. My father said that there is nothing good in Golden Continent, but these local specialties are pretty good. You must
Gotta take it."
While Tian Yuanshan was talking, he also ordered people to bring up the dried fish, dried meat, and ginseng.
"Haha, the dried squid from Qianhe City, the bison jerky from the Great Plains, and the ginseng from the North. These are all good things, but I never accept any of them."
"I accept your wishes and take your things back."
Liu Jin looked at these local products and said with a smile.
It has always been Liu Jin's rule not to accept anything. No matter what it is, Liu Jin won't accept it anyway.
"Mr. Liu, these things are just local specialties from the Golden Continent. They are not valuable items. Please be sure to accept them, Gong Liu."
When Tian Yuanshan heard this, he quickly said.
"I accept your wishes. You really cannot accept things. This has been my rule for many years."
Liu Jin said with a straight face.
"This~"
"All right."
When Tian Yuanshan saw it, he could only order someone to put it away.
This also made Zeng Ziying, Sun Tianjing, Chen Peter, Jiang Xi, Li Xiangdong and others beside them couldn't help but be slightly surprised. It is really rare for an official who does not accept anything.
In the past, when we visited some officials, they basically accepted everything according to the order. Whether it was gold, silver, antique calligraphy and paintings, etc., it was definitely too little and not too much.
Of course, this Liu Jin is just like the rumors, he has a breeze in his sleeves and never accepts anything.
Seeing Tian Yuanshan put away the local specialties, Liu Jin looked at everyone again and asked everyone's names and origins with a smile.
"Peter Chen, are you a native of Black Earth Province?"
Liu Jin immediately became interested when he heard Chen Peter introduce himself as a native of Black Earth Province.
"Yes, Mr. Liu."
Peter Chen quickly replied respectfully.
"How is the situation here in Meucheng, Black Earth Province now?"
"Go back to Mr. Liu~"
"Now Meocheng has undergone great changes. The city walls have been demolished, the roads have been widened and paved with cement, and tap water systems and drainage systems have also been built. Meocheng is cleaner and tidier than before."
"In addition, here in Black Earth Province, thanks to the kindness of the emperor and the princes of the country, the serfs gained their freedom and obtained their own property and land, which sparked a great enthusiasm."
"Last year, a lot of land was reclaimed in Black Earth Province, and food production increased dramatically. Now every household has endless food and lives are prosperous."
"In addition, Black Earth Province is undergoing a large-scale infrastructure construction and building a large number of roads, which also provides a large number of jobs and greatly increases everyone's income."
Chen Peter thought for a while and told Liu Jin about the changes in Black Earth Province.
"Hmm~"
After listening to this, Liu Jin nodded with satisfaction, thought for a while and asked: "Are there any conflicts between your local Slavs and Ming immigrants?"
This is also an issue that Liu Jin has always been concerned about. Whether the Ming immigrants can gain a firm foothold in Black Earth Province and whether there will be conflicts with the local Slavs is a very important matter.
"There is no contradiction."
"The remaining people in Black Earth Province are basically former serfs. Everyone is grateful to the Ming Dynasty for giving us freedom and land. We are very grateful and friendly to the Ming Dynasty people."
"Moreover, immigrants from the Ming Dynasty mainly live in immigrant towns, and there is no conflict with the locals."
Peter Chen shook his head and said.
"That's good, that's good~"
"Both the Han people and the Slavs here in Black Earth Province are the subjects of my Ming Dynasty. They are citizens of our Ming Dynasty. They should love each other and be loyal to the emperor and the Ming Dynasty together. They should also work together to build a beautiful home."
Liu Jin nodded with satisfaction and said.
"Yes, what Liu Gong said is true~"
"Now we in Black Earth Province are getting along very harmoniously, and we are all working together to build our homeland. I believe that the future of Black Earth Province will be even better."
Peter Chen also nodded and said.
"Nguyen Van Hao, are you from Cochin Province?"
Liu Jin turned around and started chatting with Ruan Wenhao again.
"Yes, Mr. Liu~"
“My family has lived in Qinghe, Jiaozhi for generations.”
Ruan Wenhao was slightly excited when he heard Liu Jin asking about his affairs, and he quickly sat upright and said.
"Jiaozhi Province is the most populous province among the Nanyang provinces of the Ming Dynasty. The emperor has always been very concerned about the situation in Jiaozhi Province. What is the situation in Jiaozhi now?"
Liu Jin nodded and asked.
"Thanks to the great blessing of the Emperor and the benevolence of the princes in the DPRK, Cochin Province has been in good weather over the years and has developed extremely quickly and smoothly."
"Many ports and cities have been built in coastal areas, and a large number of plantations have been built. The sugar industry, rice planting industry, and hemp weaving industry have developed very well."
"In addition, here in Cochin Province, the various tribes live in harmony with each other, life is richer than before, more roads are being built, and transportation has become much, much more convenient."
Ruan Wenhao thought for a while and introduced the situation in Jiaozhi Province to Liu Jin.
In general, after Jiaozhi was incorporated into the rule of the Ming Dynasty, it also benefited from the economic development of the Ming Dynasty, and the development in all aspects was also extremely rapid.
The plantation economy, sugar industry, rubber industry, rice cultivation, vegetables and fruits, etc. have all developed very well. Now it is the most important rubber, sugar and sisal production area in Ming Dynasty.
"Hmm~"
“How is the construction of local schools going?”
“Will every child be able to go to school?”
"Also, how is the implementation of Ming dialect and Chinese characters going?"
Liu Jin nodded. He knew this when the feudal officials went to Beijing to report their work every three years. Now he is more concerned about the Sinicization of education in Jiaozhi and the implementation of the Ming Dynasty policy.
"In recent years, we have opened many schools in places such as Jiaozhi. There are traditional academies, but most of them are new schools. The schools provide free education to everyone. Basically, all children can go to school to receive free education."
"Although there are still not many literate people now, everyone can now speak a lot of Daming dialect, especially in places where there are Han immigrants. Daming dialect is now more and more accepted by everyone."
Ruan Wenhao replied quickly.
"Hmm~"
"Jiaozhi has been our Chinese territory since ancient times, and the people of all tribes in Jiaozhi Province are also our descendants of the Yan and Huang Dynasties. The emperor has always been very concerned about the development of Jiaozhi, which is related to everyone's lives."
"All tribes should live in harmony and build their own beautiful homes together."
Liu Jin nodded with satisfaction, and then expressed the court's attitude towards Jiaozhi.
"What Liu Gong said is true. We people from all tribes in Jiaozhi are also grateful for the emperor's kindness. We will live in harmony, build a beautiful homeland together, and be loyal to the emperor and the Ming Dynasty!"
Ruan Wenhao also quickly said solemnly.
"Li Xiangdong, Yun Tiankong, you are all from Nanyun Province. I have never been to Nanyun Province. I heard that the scenery in Nanyun Province is extremely beautiful, with springs and waterfalls, shrouded in clouds and mist, alpine pastures, rich water and grass, and more importantly
What’s more, Nanyun Province has produced beautiful women since ancient times. I really hope to visit Nanyun Province one day.”
Liu Jin turned around and asked several students from Nanyun Province.
"Liu Gong, the scenery in our Nanyun Province is indeed very good. Now people's lives are very stable and prosperous. This is mainly because of the blessing of the emperor. My great Ming Dynasty has conquered the world, so I can prevent the wolves around me from coveting me.
The richness of Nanyun Province.”
Li Xiangdong also said quickly.
"Yes, Nanyun Province has undergone earth-shaking changes since it was incorporated into our Ming territory."
"With the continuous construction of spacious cement roads and railways, transportation has become more convenient, and people's lives have become stable and prosperous, leading to a truly good life."
"What's more important is that now we are the people of the Ming Dynasty and the citizens of the Ming Empire. We are very proud and proud of this, and we have been working hard to build a beautiful homeland."
"If Mr. Liu is free at any time, please be sure to go to our Nanyun Province to take a look. Our Nanyun Province has many talented people and beautiful ladies, and you will not be disappointed."
Yun Tiantian also said to Liu Jin with great pride.
Growing up in the new era of the Ming Dynasty, he had not experienced the suffering years of his parents. He only often heard his parents talking about the hard days in the past and lamenting the good days now.
Nanyun Province is considered to have the strongest attachment to the Ming Dynasty among the many provinces of the Ming Dynasty. The local tribes have a large number of marriages with the Han people. Many Ming soldiers stationed there have married local girls. They get along very harmoniously. There is no big problem.
There is a difference.
Even the language and characters of the Ming Dynasty were implemented extremely smoothly in the local area, much more smoothly than in other places.
Liu Jin kept chatting with students from all over the world, asking questions about the development and changes in these places. From their mouths, he also learned some about the development of various places in the Ming Dynasty.
Generally speaking, the current development of the Ming Dynasty is still very good. Even in places like Black Earth Province and Golden Continent, everyone is living a pretty good life. Life is much richer than before, so much so that in some borders
A large number of foreigners smuggled into the Ming Dynasty.
