Huang Xu paid homage alone: "Sir, my disciples are in awe of your majesty today."
Wang Yuan smiled and said: "We are just a few businessmen, and they can't really stick together, so what's the point of fearing if they are scattered in a pile of sand?"
Huang Xu is also a shareholder of the Tianzhu Cotton Association, including Wang Yuan. After all, Wang Yuan once paid to buy land in India through the Tianzhu Cotton Association. However, small shareholders like Huang Xu cannot enter the decision-making level. Even today's meeting
Not eligible to participate.
As for Wu Rulin, who was the first to call "King", he was actually Wang Yuan's son, that is, the son of a domestic slave who was raised since childhood.
Wang Yuan asked Anna's father to come forward and purchase 200,000 acres of land in Tianzhu. But his father-in-law was just a white glove. The real land managers were Wang Yuan's sons and students.
The largest shareholder of the Tianzhu Cotton Association is actually the Ming Dynasty Navy!
After all, it was the Ming Navy that sent out ships and men to destroy Ananda Gongde in the West.
One of the reasons why Wang Yuan dared to speak forcefully also came from the Ming Dynasty Navy. Doesn’t it feel inconsistent?
Some of the shares of the Ming Navy in the Tianzhu Cotton Association were secretly divided by Zhu Ying, Man Zheng, Ning Botao and others. After these people were transferred back to the center, they remained as confidants of the Tianzhu Cotton Association and were either secretly squeezed out by merchants or
Just join forces with merchants.
Immediately afterwards, the Ming Dynasty Navy was divided into three, and it was difficult for the Navy Admiral to speak.
As a result, the three naval armies of the Ming Dynasty had conflicts with each other, and they could not unite in the Tianzhu Cotton Association. Now, the Ming Dynasty Navy only has shares in the Tianzhu Cotton Association, but has no actual management rights or say.
As long as Wang Yuan raised his arms and the Ming Dynasty navy started to make trouble, the merchants of the Tianzhu Cotton Association would be able to drink a pot.
Huang Xu said: "Sir, we must prevent the Tianzhu Cotton Society from hiding the land."
Wang Yuan smiled and said: "They don't dare."
There is a tradition in the Indian subcontinent that all land is owned by the king. Even if the local lords actually occupy the land, they are only the king's tax collectors in name.
Similar to the well-field system of the Western Zhou Dynasty, the whole world is just a royal land, which is handed over to the management of the princes by the king.
After the Tianzhu Cotton Association came to India, it suddenly allowed the free sale and purchase of land, but land transactions had to be registered with the Tianzhu Cotton Association.
As long as any shareholder dares to hide the land, Wang Yuan will directly take it back according to the fish scale book.
It may not be possible to find out for the time being, but one day the secret will be revealed, and then not only will the land be gone, but the people will be gone too.
Let's put it this way, the land purchased by shareholders must be fertile farmland with convenient irrigation. Wang Yuan will definitely give priority to these places when choosing immigration locations. If any shareholder dares to hide and not report taxes in order to evade taxes, hehe, it will be used for official immigration.
At that time, shareholders could not even cry.
Wang Yuan led five thousand infantry, more than two thousand physical disciples, and more than sixty Guangyuanhui shopkeepers, and marched towards the royal city of Ananda.
Along the way, they informed the Han people and indigenous people that the Ananda Kingdom was officially renamed the Tianzhu Kingdom, and that the king was the husband of the eldest princess of the Ananda Kingdom.
Tianzhu, Shendu, and India actually refer to the same thing. There was an error in the transliteration. It was originally just the name of a river (the Indus River).
Legend has it that the name of India was given by Tang Monk: "The name of India is Futianzhu, and it was formerly called Shendu, Shendu, Xiandou, Tianzhu, etc. In the past, it was called India based on the correct pronunciation."
When they heard that the husband of the eldest princess came back to be the king, the Indian nobles were overjoyed and felt that they should be better served than the Tianzhu Cotton Society, so they packed up their belongings and went to the royal city to meet him.
The name of the royal city is very long, similar to the name of Ananda's country, it is called "Vijachanagala City".
Wang Yuan found it difficult to remember the name, so he asked his entourage on the way: "What do you think the capital should be called?"
Everyone is thinking, and they dare not speak nonsense. At least they must think carefully before speaking.
Fang Lingxi smiled and said: "How about Qingzhou? The water is clear."
Wang Yuan glared at him: "I founded the country in Tianzhu to create another Chinese country, not to compete with the Ming Emperor for the limelight."
Fang Lingxi chuckled: "The Ming Dynasty overseas can be called the Qing Dynasty. Since the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty has been canonized as the King of Tianzhu, the country's name can no longer be Qing Dynasty. How can it be considered arrogant to choose Qingzhou as the capital of the country?"
"Although I didn't overstep my bounds, it made me feel uncomfortable." Wang Yuan was too lazy to explain.
Although there are different opinions on the origins of the country names of the Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties, the basis can be found in ancient books.
Before the Yuan Dynasty, without exception, country names were given based on place names.
However, the Yuan Dynasty did not arise in the land of China, and there was no ancient name for the country, so the name of the country was named "Dayuan" based on the "Book of Changes".
It is "大元", not the single character "元".
The country names of the Ming and Qing dynasties were also "Da Ming" and "Da Qing", rather than the single words "Ming" and "Qing".
Looking at various inscriptions from the Ming Dynasty, many of them have the words "Ming Dynasty xxx".
The names of the Yuan and Ming dynasties can be found in a sentence in the "Book of Changes": "Great Qian Yuan, when all things began, they unified the sky. The clouds moved and the rain provided, and the materials were flowing. The Ming Dynasty ended with six people.
When it is completed, it will ride on six dragons to control the sky."
The national titles of the Ming and Qing dynasties can be found in a sentence in "Guanzi": "If you are able to wear a big ring and act generously, in view of the Qing Dynasty, you will be regarded as a Ming Dynasty."
Fang Lingxi had obviously read "Guanzi" and actually wanted Wang Yuan to change the name of the country to "Qing". He gave up only to avoid overstepping his bounds and instead asked Wang Yuan to change the name of the capital to "Qingzhou".
It's a pity that Wang Yuan got upset and panicked as soon as he heard "Qing".
Fan Zhi, the third leader of the Guangyuan Society and a senior disciple of the Physics School, said: "Tianzhu is the land of the Buddha. It is better for the country to be called 'Lingzhou', which comes from the meaning of 'Lingshan'."
Wang Yuan shook his head: "Don't talk about Buddhism."
Huang Xu smiled and said: "The capital of the country is on the bank of a river, and that river is called the 'Donga Padra River'. Sir, why don't you name the river first, and then name the capital after it."
Wang Yuan asked: "What are the characteristics of that river?"
Huang Xu said: "This river is a tributary of a large river, flowing eastward to Bangladesh and entering the sea. It rains a lot in summer and little rain in winter. The capital is located in a basin and plain, and there is often drought on all sides. Only this basin and plain is rich, and it is irrigated by this river.
The people can have enough food and clothing."
Wang Yuan thought for a while and said: "In that case, the river is called Peishui. Is the capital of the country south or north of the river?"
"North." Huang Xu replied.
Wang Yuan agreed: "The place directly under the jurisdiction of the capital is called 'Peizhou', and the capital is called 'Peiyang' or 'Peijing'."
Xingtai, whom he had taken as a disciple during flood control in Shandong, has now become an agriculturist. Wang Yuan once promised to make him the Prime Minister of the Sinong Temple, but unfortunately the Sinong Temple was not established, so he could only be made an eighth-grade official in the Ministry of Household Affairs.
Now, Xingtai also came to Tianzhu, and brought more than a dozen agricultural experts with him. He clapped his hands and praised: "Pei, abundant and grand, implies the prosperity of the country!"
Everyone had been picking up names along the way, planning to change the names of all the places in Tianzhu, but the original names were too difficult to pronounce.
What about the city of Vijaychanagara and what about the Dungepadra River? Wang Yuan, who did not understand the local language, felt dizzy when he heard it.
