Liu Weichao stretched out his fourth finger and continued to say to Emperor Chongzhen: "Across the Central Plains, you can raise special free education funds through welfare lotteries, open free schools for children to study, learn scientific knowledge, etc. But.
, this is not in line with the actual situation in the southwest Tusi area, at least no one buys lottery tickets, and even if there are, it should be very few!"
"Yes!" Emperor Chongzhen nodded again.
"Then, for Southwest Tusi, I think you still have to spend money to run free classes!" Liu Weichao said seriously, "You can just use simplified Chinese characters and Pinyin, these two are powerful tools to promote education.
Educate the people over there so that they and the Ming Dynasty can truly be of the same clan and race, recognize the Ming Dynasty, recognize the court, and recognize you as the emperor!"
This is part of the money that must be paid to change the situation!
Emperor Chongzhen thought in his mind, and immediately nodded and said: "No problem, I will still be rich even if I don't confiscate my house in the future. This money to educate the world must be paid out!"
According to the grain fields surveyed during the nationwide rectification of local areas, even though there are still many provinces in the south that have not been rectified, Emperor Chongzhen has already made an estimate. Not to mention this year, next year the land and grain taxes alone will reach Yongle.
level over the years.
If we say that when the previously announced policy of tax exemption to restore people's livelihood due to war expires, the world is at peace, and the Ming Dynasty recovers, tax revenue will reach its peak by then, and 20 million taels will not be a dream!
Also, according to Liu Weichao's suggestion, in the future, as transportation becomes more convenient and commerce develops, the income from commercial tax will definitely be an astonishing amount.
Therefore, at this time, Emperor Chongzhen had the confidence to spend money! Even if he no longer ransacked his house, there would be no problem!
When Liu Weichao heard what Emperor Chongzhen said, he smiled, then stretched out a finger, and his fist finally turned into a palm. After shaking it, he retracted his hand and said: "The fifth point is to return to the land.
I don’t think there is any need to be secretive about the matter. Just follow what I just mentioned and it can be officially announced. In addition, for the chieftains, give them a way. For example, if the chieftains cooperate with the court, give them a title and let them
Come to the capital and other prosperous places to enjoy the glory and wealth. Of course, you can also assign different jobs according to their talents and give them an explanation."
The reason why this point is brought up is because the Ming Dynasty did not have it before. The change of Tuguiliu was only done when the chieftain died and there was no direct heir. But now, all the existing chieftains have been changed.
.
Liu Weichao just checked the information. In history, there are indeed some chieftains who cooperated with the return of the native land. For example, in Tibet at the end of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, the Dorje Sengge of the Dege chieftain supported the return of the native land and even paid great attention to the common people.
education.
After Dorje Sengge arrived in Batang at the end of the first year of Xuantong, he was very happy to see that the students in the Mandarin School were very polite and changed from the bad habits before entering the school, showing a new atmosphere. So he donated the remaining 1,000 taels of silver to the school the following year.
It was used to build the boys' school; and his wife Silang Tsomu also generously donated 1,000 taels of silver from jewelry and clothing to donate to the construction of the girls' school.
Just after reading this piece of information, Liu Weichao does not think that once the imperial court truly implements the policy of returning natives to the country, all the chieftains will rebel. A very simple example, Shizhu Chieftain, certainly not.
For these chieftains, the imperial court would naturally give them preferential treatment and give them a shift in status. It would only deprive them of their military power, personnel rights, etc., and all of this would be brought under the jurisdiction of the imperial court.
Liu Weichao said, thought for a moment, and then added: "Of course, whether it is to ennoble them or give them some other corresponding treatment, I just said it casually. You still need to discuss the details yourself. Give them a Appropriate.”
Emperor Chongzhen nodded and thought it was natural.
Then, seeing that Liu Weichao seemed to be silent, he asked: "Is there anything else?"
Liu Weichao heard this, thought for a moment, and then replied with a smile: "Um, isn't General Qin retiring in the capital for his retirement? I think you can communicate with her first about this matter and explain the necessity of returning home and returning home. I think she should be able to understand the importance. Then Shizhu Chieftain will set an example, which should be able to effectively reduce the possibility of Southwest Chieftain rebellion. If it can be resolved peacefully according to the conditions of the imperial court, that would be the best."
"It makes sense!" Emperor Chongzhen nodded happily after hearing this, and then continued to look at Liu Weichao expectantly.
Seeing this, Liu Weichao felt a little helpless. He spread his hands and said, "That's all I can think of for now!"
"Okay, I will go back and sort it out, and then discuss it with the ministers!" Upon hearing this, Emperor Chongzhen smiled a little embarrassedly, and then said to Liu Weichao.
After hearing this, Liu Weichao thought that this video communication was about to end.
Unexpectedly, Emperor Chongzhen looked down at the memorial, then raised his head and said to him: "By the way, there are two more things. Can you help me?"
When Liu Weichao heard this, he didn't even think about it and said directly: "If you can help, I will definitely help. Just say so!"
Valley gull
Therefore, Emperor Chongzhen was not polite and said to Liu Weichao: "From what I can see from the memorial, one of the biggest difficulties in conquering the chieftains and bandits in the southwest is that the sergeants are not used to Yunnan and Guizhou, and there are far more sick than He was injured in the battle. Look at this situation, do you have any good ideas?"
When Liu Weichao heard this, he was not surprised, and immediately replied: "Those who are really acclimatized, there is nothing you can do. However, most people should still have no problems. More often, it is caused by hygiene problems. Get sick!"
Without waiting for Emperor Chongzhen to ask questions, he took the initiative to spread common sense to Emperor Chongzhen and said: "Didn't I tell you when I invented the microscope? In this world, there are tiny organisms, bacteria, viruses, etc. They can easily make humans sick..."
"So, the water must be boiled before you can drink it!" Emperor Chongzhen heard this and immediately interjected, "I have told Sun Chuanting about this a long time ago, and most of the people in the army should have done the same!"
After hearing this, Liu Weichao emphasized: "I feel that there are still people who are greedy for convenience and drink unboiled water directly. It is best to emphasize this matter. By the way, it is best to equip each soldier with a kettle. , I guess not. If you want them to drink boiled water, you must at least have this condition!"
In fact, in ancient times, soldiers would be issued a coconut scoop. This has been the case since the Song Dynasty. It was even more common in the Ming Dynasty. It was written in the equipment of the Qi family army.
When the Qi army fought, the Huotou army had to carry water. When the soldiers were thirsty, they would use coconut ladles to ask for water. Of course, more soldiers would probably drink raw water directly from coconut ladles when they saw clean water.
Water.
The northern Mongolian tribes use cowhide bags and the like. In addition, they also found some made of ceramics and bamboo tubes, but they are not common and inconvenient. They are either fragile or unhygienic. In summary, drinking water has always been
is a problem.
At this time, Emperor Chongzhen was not clear about these. When Liu Weichao said this, he asked with great interest: "What do you think the kettle is like?"
This is easy. Liu Weichao randomly searched a picture of a military kettle on Baidu, pointed it at the computer with his mobile phone, and asked Emperor Chongzhen to look at it and then said: "In my era, every soldier was issued one. After boiling the water in advance, he took it with him.
It’s very convenient to carry.”
At this point, he added: "Let me look back and see how to mass-produce this kind of kettle. If possible, I will give you the information. After you make it, distribute it to the whole army and improve the situation of the soldiers. I believe it will be helpful to you."
It is useful to improve combat effectiveness."
Emperor Chongzhen was very happy when he heard this and nodded in response.
Later, Liu Weichao continued to educate Emperor Chongzhen: "Another reason why we are prone to getting sick is the bites of snakes, insects, rats and ants, especially mosquitoes..."
As for malaria, he had said before that among the specialties Zheng Zhibao went to South America to obtain was the cinchona tree. But at this time, he introduced artemisinin to Emperor Chongzhen. However, artemisinin could not be purified in ancient times, so he mentioned Artemisia annua.
, and then sent the picture information to Emperor Chongzhen.
Emperor Chongzhen was very satisfied with what he heard. Finally, he said to Liu Weichao: "The last question is, the terrain in Yunnan and Guizhou is completely different from that in the Central Plains. The mountains are high and the roads are steep, and there are woods everywhere. Can you send the map there?
Give me one copy so that I can send it to Sun Chuanting and it will be easier to march into Yunnan and Guizhou!"
When Liu Weichao heard this, he laughed and immediately shook his head and said: "I'm afraid this is inappropriate. The world in my world is different from the world in yours!"
"..." Emperor Chongzhen was a little speechless upon hearing this. Looking at Liu Weichao's face, it was obvious that he didn't believe it.
Didn’t I say that it’s a theory of parallel universes or something? If history develops in another direction, can this topography still have an impact?
Looking at his face, Liu Weichao immediately saw his inner thoughts. He laughed and said, "Don't believe it. If I show you some photos, you should be able to understand what I mean! I'll hang up now.
!”
After hanging up the video communication, Emperor Chongzhen was very confused. What kind of photos could show that his world was different from his own?
High mountains, deep valleys and ravines, hundreds of thousands of mountains, how can they be changed?
Thinking like this, he had no intention of reviewing the conversation with Liu Weichao first. Instead, he looked at his phone, waiting for Liu Weichao to send photos so that he could clear up his doubts immediately.
After a while, the phone sent out continuous notifications, and Liu Weichao sent him many pictures at once.
When Emperor Chongzhen saw it, he quickly clicked on the picture and started looking at it.
It was okay not to look at it, but once he looked at it, he was immediately dumbfounded!
