Seeing Wu Yang turn around and walk towards the government office, Tasma immediately said anxiously: "Can you, sir, set aside a place to build a temple for us?"
After hearing Tasma's words, Wu Yang held his own and began to think slightly.
Wu Yang's parents are Buddhists and are devout believers, so he has always been supportive and tolerant in this regard. The newly built Buddhist temple here in Crescent City is also indispensable for Wu Yang's support.
Now that he heard that these Persians and Middle Easterners wanted to build a temple here, he thought about it and was about to agree.
"No~ Definitely not!"
At this time, Liu Jin, who had been watching the excitement, came out and said decisively.
Are you kidding me, asking you to build temples and waiting for you to spread your religion?
I finally raided Nanyang and vigorously promoted the culture and ideas of the Ming Dynasty in order to prevent the invasion of cultures and ideas from India, the Middle East, and Persia.
How is it possible for you to build a temple?
Moreover, during the Song Dynasty, the Song Dynasty was very friendly to these Persians and Middle Easterners, allowing them to settle in Quanzhou and other places, and even officials from the Shipping Department appointed them to do so.
It can be said that the emperor of the Song Dynasty was extremely kind and kind to these foreign visitors, but how did they, the Persians and Middle Easterners, treat the royal family of the Song Dynasty?
When the Mongolian army pursued the Song Dynasty royal family to Quanzhou, these Persians slaughtered three thousand Song Dynasty royal families and turned to serve the Yuan Dynasty. Even these Middle Easterners and Persians began to separatize Quanzhou and vigorously promote their culture and religion.
At that time, there was a Persian named Amiriddin who was separatist in Quanzhou. At that time, the local officials in Xinghua competed for power and attacked and killed each other, which gave Yisi Fahang soldiers an opportunity to take advantage of.
Therefore, after this group of Persians occupied Quanzhou, they waited for the opportunity to attack Xinghua and Fuzhou in the area north of Quanzhou, in an attempt to establish the "Yisifahang Kingdom" in the Fujian region of China, which was the Persian Kingdom.
Fortunately, although the Yuan Dynasty at that time was corrupt, there were still many people who were loyal to the Yuan Dynasty. In 1366, which was the twenty-sixth year of the Yuan Dynasty, as a die-hard loyalist of the Yuan Dynasty, Chen Youding, who participated in the politics of Fujian Province, was ordered to attack these Persian bandits.
.
In April of the same year, Chen Youding, the counselor and political officer of Fujian Province, was ordered by the Ministry of War to lead his troops to annihilate Bobai. Thousands of Dakuo and others also tried to hang soldiers under the city. The remnant soldiers who fled were also shot to death by nearby farmers with hoes and poles.
Chen Youding led his army to recapture Xinghua, conquered Quanzhou, and recaptured Zhangzhou. The nine-year-long military rebellion in Yisifahang was finally subsided.
According to records, more than 20,000 people in Putian, Fujian alone were killed in this military rebellion, and 3.24 million houses were burned down. This must be said to be a huge military disaster.
From here we can know that these Persians and Middle Easterners, who appear friendly on the surface, will immediately show their fangs once they gain a firm foothold. They are definitely not kind-hearted people, but tigers, leopards, and wolves.
Regarding these people, Liu Jin, who came from later generations, certainly knew what to do, and was determined not to allow them to enter the Ming Dynasty. They could do business, but they were not allowed to settle down or build temples.
And you have to give them a hard time, let them know how powerful it is, and how painful it is, so that they will become honest, otherwise they will think that you are easy to bully, and then they will take advantage of you.
"Who are you?"
Tasma looked at Liu Jin angrily, and Wu Yang was about to agree.
As long as they are allowed to build temples here, they will have a foothold and stronghold in Crescent City in the future, and they can slowly take root in Crescent City.
But if the Ming Dynasty did not allow them to build it, they would have no choice but to continue wandering on the sea, calling themselves home all over the world. Now that the way back is blocked by the Portuguese, their life will be sad.
"Mr. Liu~"
Seeing Liu Jin, Wu Yang also greeted Liu Jin with a smile.
"Mr. Wu~"
"I also ask you to write a few letters immediately to Jiaozhi, Xianglin and Zhenghe Province, saying that without the permission of the court, any foreigners are strictly prohibited from settling in our Ming Dynasty land, buying land, houses, building temples, spreading religion, etc.
Wait, the only thing they can do is do business, and they must only be allowed to do business at the designated treaty port, and they are not allowed to leave the treaty port, and they are only allowed to stay for a maximum of fifteen days."
Liu Jin nodded slightly, thought about it and gave instructions to Wu Yang.
"Mr. Liu, is this too strict? Isn't this the way to treat guests?"
When Wu Yang heard this, he was not angry because Liu Jin had a lower official position than him. Instead, he wondered if this was too strict. China has been very hospitable since ancient times and treated guests from afar very warmly.
of.
"When guests come, we naturally have wine and meat, but what if a jackal comes?"
Liu Jin immediately asked: "Do you still remember the three thousand Song Dynasty royal family who were slaughtered by these foreigners in Quanzhou?"
"Back then, the Song Dynasty was extremely friendly and benevolent to these foreigners, but how did they treat the royal family of the Song Dynasty? How did they treat us Chinese people?"
After hearing what Liu Jin said, Wu Yang quickly straightened up and said, "What Mr. Liu said is true!"
No matter how high an official Wu Yang can be, he is naturally a well-educated person. He is familiar with history and knows such a period of history.
"Mr. Wu, I will write a memorial and return to the capital immediately to explain the situation to Your Majesty and the princes in the court. I believe that the princes in the court will also support us."
Liu Jin thought about it and immediately added that he could only suggest that such a policy still needs to be approved by Emperor Hongzhi and all the princes in the court.
But Liu Jin felt that there was definitely no problem with this.
"Hmm~ I'm going to repair books and go to Jiaozhi, Xianglin and Zhenghe."
Wu Yang also nodded, he had no doubt about this.
Even though his official position is greater than that of Liu Jin, in terms of influence on government affairs, he can't compare to Liu Jin even if he is in favor of others. With Liu Jin's promotion speed, he will surpass him in a few years.
There is no need to offend Liu Jin over such a trivial matter, not to mention, what Liu Jin said is right.
"You can't do this, you can't do this~"
Tasma next to him heard the conversation between Liu Jin and Wu Yang, and couldn't help but scream.
If this is the case, it means that they have no hope of settling down in the Ming Dynasty in the future, and even if they want to do business in the Ming Dynasty in the future, it will become more difficult, because they can only trade in the designated areas of the Ming Dynasty.
Stay here at the port for fifteen days.
"Hmph~"
After hearing Tasma's words, Liu Jin turned around and looked at him coldly.
"You Persians and Middle Easterners are not good people. When we were in the Song Dynasty, the Emperor of the Song Dynasty was extremely kind to you and allowed you to settle down in Quanzhou, and even made you an important local official."
"But what about you people?"
"You are so ambitious that the royal family of the Song Dynasty fled to Quanzhou. You killed three thousand members of the royal family and tried to establish the Yisifahang Kingdom in our land of China."
"You still have the nerve to make all kinds of demands on us. Believe it or not, I will have you all killed right now."
Liu Jin didn't have a good look towards these people.
Hearing Liu Jin's words, Tasma's expression changed drastically. He quickly translated it to the people around him. When the people around him heard this, their expressions suddenly changed.
The person in front of me seems to have a very high status, but the key is that he hates them very much. This is an extremely bad thing.
"Dear Sir~"
"We have no ill intentions. We are legitimate businessmen. We paid taxes in Ming Dynasty. We have not harmed anyone here. Why are you so hostile to us?"
"After all, the things in history are no more than a hundred years ago. Now you Ming people have seized our island of Ceylon and sold our people as slaves. The Portuguese have also blocked Persia.
Bay, we can’t even go home.”
"We just want a place to live in the great Ming Empire, and we are willing to pay enough money for it. Is there anything wrong with this?"
Tasma said very unconvinced.
"You are all to blame for this. We treated you with good intentions, how did you treat us?"
"Does this island of Ceylon belong to you?"
"You just built a few small towns on it. This island of Ceylon belongs to you?"
"Look at the faces of you robbers. You also say that you just want a place to live. If you build a small town in our Ming Dynasty, will this Ming Dynasty belong to you from now on?"
Liu Jin wanted to laugh when he heard this. These people actually said that Ceylon Island belongs to them?
This shows that they are extremely ambitious and are definitely not a good thing.
"Sir, we have absolutely no intention of doing this!"
Tasma was immediately speechless. In fact, they were people who came to Nanyang from Ceylon to do business. They had always regarded Ceylon as their own territory.
"Go away, leave Crescent City and the Ming Dynasty immediately. If I see you again, I will order your ship to be sunk and all of you will be reduced to slaves."
"You still dare to come to our Ming Dynasty to cause trouble. How capable do you really think you are?"
Liu Jin ordered coldly.
The people of Ming Dynasty were kind and treated them too well, so they allowed them to take advantage of them.
After hearing Liu Jin's words, their faces were very ugly.
This is directly expelling them from the Ming Dynasty. Is this leaving the Ming Dynasty?
Where else can they go?
Some small countries in Nanyang are more welcoming to them, but the entire Nanyang is under the shadow of the Ming Dynasty. If they want to survive, they must do business, and all aspects of this are inseparable from the Ming Dynasty.
How can they do business if they are kicked out?
But looking at Liu Jin's stern face, they all had no choice but to make trouble. Looking at the government officials at the gate of the government office, they had no choice but to leave.
"The colonial era was also an era of globalization. Special attention must be paid to many things, including slaves, the influence of foreign culture and religion~"
Watching their leaving figures, Liu Jin also began to think deeply in his mind.
