Marrying concubines and reproducing more offspring for the royal family is of very practical significance in this era. Li Mingyuan is not a roundabout and conservative person. Faced with the youthful atmosphere of the girls around him and selected from all over the country to enter the palace, the reason why he has not yet had any substance
Sexual action is not because he is a saint, but because the country is in the development stage. Military industry, heavy industry, light industry, agriculture, education and other aspects are in urgent need of development. From the local people to ordinary people and soldiers, they still need to work hard.
, in order to maintain the hard-won good situation, if he had just proclaimed himself emperor and reorganized the system, he would wantonly collect beauties, treasures, and indulge in wantonness. If the officials and officers below followed suit, the country would soon be in chaos!
The establishment of a new political power is not easy, but if it fails to make progress and indulges in pleasure, the entire ruling class can become so corrupt that in just over ten or twenty years, the national energy accumulated during the establishment of the country will be consumed to the point of dryness.
degree of cleanliness.
Li Mingyuan abolished the prostitution system and required active-duty officers, soldiers and officials to pay attention to the image of the government and the army and not to engage in indiscriminate relations between men and women. At the same time, he gave equal status to wives and concubines in the law and limited the number of wives and concubines that military officers and government officials could take. After various measures were implemented,
This has aroused the incomprehension of some officials and military officers. It is only because this group of people is not large in number and they are frightened by the prestige accumulated by Li Mingyuan for more than ten years that they dare not show their dissatisfaction.
It takes time for the Chinese people's ideas to change step by step. Li Mingyuan also learned experience and lessons during his many years of governance. In some insignificant aspects, he gave officials and military officers appropriate opportunities to relax and allowed them to take their families and children with them.
Moderate entertainment, rather than blind interference and prohibition.
After handling several government affairs decisions telegraphed by the left-behind officials in Chang'an City, the next morning, the entourage packed up their belongings, such as carriages and horses, and prepared to go to the next location for inspection.
"Your Majesty, when people in the surrounding areas heard that Luan Jia was staying in Jinjiang Town, they all came over to watch and pick him up, and gave the two empresses many strange little animals as gifts.
The Queen and the Imperial Concubine didn’t know what to do with those little animals, so they sent their slaves over to ask for instructions from Your Majesty.”
"Forget about gold and silver treasures. If it's small animals like parrots, guanacos, ponies, cuckoos, etc., let them accept them."
After leaving Chang'an City, we kept meeting people along the way. Merchants offered cattle, sheep, livestock, grain and even rare and exotic animals unique to the local area as gifts. Cattle, sheep, grain and other agricultural products were cheap in the local area, and the ordinary people who immigrated here saved them.
He didn't have much property, and although the value of cattle, sheep, livestock, grain and other items was not high, as a token of the people's sincerity in presenting gifts to the emperor, Li Mingyuan ordered the guarding soldiers to accept a small part, and some small businessmen who had been working hard in the local area for a long time
The relatively precious gifts offered by landowners and businessmen were not accepted.
In ancient times, kings traveled around the world, consuming a lot of materials and wealth. Li Mingyuan was not willing to waste national financial funds. The number of soldiers, officials, etc. who accompanied the patrols were compressed into a relatively small range, and the necessary emperor's support, carriages and a small amount of life were removed.
The entire team only carried two weeks' worth of food and material supplies. General living supplies were purchased directly from the people along the way, without occupying the local government's financial expenses.
"The queen, the concubine, and Ying'er, if Xiaolan likes any small animals, ask them to find someone to take them back to the palace. Jinjiang Town is not far from Chang'an City, so it is convenient to take them back now."
Li Mingyuan was worried about the inconvenience of traveling with some small animals, so he added.
"Yes, Your Majesty." The maid bowed, bent and turned around to retreat...
The patrol team is going farther and farther, and Li Mingyuan's tour around the mainland has just begun. On the other side of the mainland, the Far East Continent, the superior natural environment of South America, and the fertile and vast plains are like a magnet.
The poor people at the bottom of the region have great appeal.
With the rapid increase in the number of immigrants year after year, the type of transportation operations for native immigrants from the Far East to South America has gradually changed. Initially, ocean shipping companies under the South American government were the main force in undertaking immigration transportation operations. Later, with the Xinjing Shipbuilding
The three major shipyards, Xinghe Shipyard and Royal Shipyard, built civilian docks and took into account the construction tasks of private transport ships. Local private shipping companies began to get involved in the ocean migration transportation business. They were either small ordinary businessmen with insufficient personal funds and used partnerships to
The funds raised can be used to order medium-sized transport ships from the three major local shipyards, or overseas Chinese business groups with strong financial resources can directly order large-scale ocean-going transport cargo ships from European countries. After years of development, local private shipping companies have taken over the market share of immigrant transportation.
, gradually increased to 60% of the market share of government-run ocean shipping companies.
According to local officials, private shipping companies account for about 70% of the long-distance immigration transportation tasks from Nanyang to South America. The other 30% of the market share is occupied by Western shipping companies such as Germany, the Netherlands, and France, and the mainland business gangs jointly established by southeastern coastal businessmen.
The ocean-going immigration transportation operation is profitable. Although the market share of Western shipping companies in the Chinese immigrant transportation business is decreasing year by year, thanks to the expansion of immigration operations, the number of Chinese immigrants carried by Western shipping companies has not decreased but has increased. Every year, seven
, August and September are busy periods for ocean shipping affairs. Western shipping companies either accept the entrustment of the local government, or directly sign agreements with mainland Chinese immigrants. Western shipping companies transport the Chinese to South America, and then the Chinese pay the immigrants.
The total cost of transportation.
The Chinese immigration transportation operation has been developing for more than ten years. Compared with the time when Western white people sold Chinese as piglets, the immigration transportation market has become much more standardized. The most obvious change is that the mortality rate of immigrants has dropped rapidly. At the same time, because of the Han Dynasty,
With the government's intervention and guarantee, even penniless young Chinese can use credit to obtain basic supplies and medical protection on the ships of Western shipping companies.
Foreigners have special privileges in the coastal areas of the mainland. They can transport ships full of Chinese immigrants without being interrogated by the Qing Customs.
The Southeast Merchant Gang got involved in the Chinese immigrant transportation business a little later than Western shipping companies. However, as local snakes in the coastal areas, they have advantages that foreigners do not have, that is, they have intricate connections with the local government, gangs, etc., and as they are both Chinese, it is easier to
Advantages of gaining the trust of Chinese immigrants.
Out of apparent fear of the Manchu government and psychological conservatism, more than 90% of mainland business gangs chose to engage in short-distance transportation business from the coast of the mainland to Nanyang. They transported immigrants to Songkhla, Natu in Nanyang.
After taking control of the Nanyang Islands and Lanfang, he received the immigration fees from Han’s institutions stationed in Nanyang, and then purchased a batch of fabrics, matches, cameras, cement and other industrial products produced in Han from Nanyang, or
He purchased some cheap rice and other food supplies from various islands in the Southeast Asia, then loaded up a boat full of goods with the profits in his pocket, and set off back to his hometown on the mainland.
Although additional short-distance immigration fees were paid to the Southeast Merchant Gang, the risk of immigration ships being detained by the Qing court was eliminated because there was no need to bring the ships to the coastal areas in person. Generally speaking, this method was more beneficial to the local Han government.
