Liu Zheng looked at the letters written by Ling Chen dumbfounded.
King Yong was watching and laughing.
"This Ling Chen is quite cute!"
Before King Yong, he did not advise Liu Zheng to let Ling Chen do what he wanted. He felt that Ling Chen was extremely ambitious and was born as a prisoner, so he lacked respect for the imperial court.
But I didn't expect...
Now in the letter, he is like a headless fly and an aggrieved little wife.
Liu Zheng also smiled slightly: "This guy seems to have no brains. He has not learned anything about the Western Regions."
The two met and laughed.
But then again.
The system in the Western Regions may not be suitable for India. The situation in the two places is different. When Ling Chen took over the Western Regions, the small countries in the Western Regions were actually frightened. But the former Mughal governors were still the same.
A very powerful one. At that time in the Western Regions, there were no religious conflicts, but in India today, the biggest conflict comes from religion.
How to balance this is something Ling Chen needs to consider.
Liu Zheng thought about it and picked up the pen.
King Yong made his ink grind for him.
How is India governed?
In fact, Liu Zheng already had the answer in his mind. For this, you can refer to how Britain colonized India in his previous life. Just copy the homework.
Regarding colonization, Liu Zheng had been studying it for some time.
In "The Origins of Colonial Development of Comparative Development", there is such a passage. The fertility rate of the colonists affected the choice of their governance system in the colony, and the choice of system affected the economic development of the colony after independence.
Why could the British rule 300 million people in India with only 500 people?
This is because of the choice of governing system.
The South Asian subcontinent is one of the most closed regions in the world, but there is a constant stream of invaders, from the earlier Aryans, Persians, Greeks, to the later Turks, Mongols, and horse-riding peoples who always pass through the northwest
The Khyber Pass poured into India like a tide, reshaping it over and over again. The British were the last conquerors, and they were no longer different. They did not seize the pass from the northwest, but landed from the coast.
.
At that time, Britain began to colonize India. It was precisely because of the decline of the Mughals and the death of Aurangzeb that domestic warlords attacked each other and the people resisted. The Iranians and Afghans began to attack and persecute one after another. This
At that time, the British East India Company relied on its huge financial resources to subdue a large number of governors and warlords through bribery, division, and attacks. The development of the situation even exceeded the expectations of the British at that time. In the end, even the British cabinet had to take the matter seriously.
Finally, more than a hundred years after Britain landed in India, the first Governor-General of India appeared. At this time, Britain was ruling in the name of the East India Company. It took more than eighty years before Britain officially began to control India.
colonial.
so.
Unlike the violent rule of other countries in history, Britain's colonization had merits.
That is, they are not interested in land, all they want is trade.
Even if they occupy land, it is convenient for trade. The British rarely station heavy troops in the colonies to supervise people's lives and require naturalization. They only need a simple administrative structure and a peaceful order that is conducive to trade, which is enough.
A saying often said by East India Company officials was "trade not land". This was by no means a pretense. It prevented Britain from getting stuck in a certain colony.
