Chapter 1139 "Gentle" Colonists
In addition to these deep reasons, there is also a superficial reason that prevents them from doing excessive things in Honolulu.

Because their monopoly and management rights are bounded by the latitude of the Zongya Strait between Kuwu and Ezo.

Apparently, Honolulu is south of this latitude.

Although the imperial court has no control over their specific practices in the bitter cold areas, as long as they pay taxes, they will turn a blind eye.

But this kind of critical place needs to be managed.

It's not that the monopoly company is idle and has nothing to do to make itself uncomfortable. It's really troublesome to be pulled into a bun by the court.

Therefore, this matter still needs to be coordinated by the court, that is to say, Liu Yu must come forward to coordinate in the end.

The emperor's attitude is also very clear. Even the fools there know that it is the key point, but it will be useful in the future, but it is useless now.The imperial court has no money to toss over there now.

In the end, Liu Yu came forward to coordinate the relationship between capital and gentry.The capital contributes money, the gentry contributes righteousness, and the new students contribute. The three parties use a strange combination to take advantage of World War I and take a step ahead of other countries.

A battle is to be fought for a while.

After the fight is over, the world structure for the next few hundred years is basically doomed.

At this time, take one step first, and you will take a hundred steps and a thousand steps in the future.Just like Liu Yu’s policies when he was the envoy of the Whale Sea Festival, it took more than ten or twenty years to ferment before they could demonstrate their value and significance.

Liu Yu reckoned that after the First World War, the number of immigrants in Honolulu would increase, and if San Francisco had gold mines, it would be possible to directly participate in the affairs of the Americas.At that time, it is difficult to say whether he will be alive or alive, but when the situation is all right, it will not depend on people's will.

For-profit companies naturally don't pay attention to these messy meanings in their view.

For them, these islands are of great significance for many previous problems and the vision of transforming mining in the future.

First, this is an island.

Those who come have nowhere to run.

It's not like in the temperate zone of North America, where the oppression is more severe and they run away, revolt, and go to farm far away to live.

There is no way to catch it.

Something like "fugitive slave law" doesn't work.

On the island, you can't run far, and there are dense local aborigines on the island, most of them will die if they run.

The most critical is the second point.

There is already a class divide on the island.

Compared with those Indians in North America, the people on the island have a higher degree of social development.

There are chiefs.

The scholar class.

There are civilians.

There are slaves.

Companies generally do not have a good relationship with those Indians in North America.And because the class division is not so serious, and the concept of private ownership is not deep, it is relatively difficult to draw North American Indians into capitalist exploitation.

The island is different.

There is a very clear slave class on the island, as well as a very clear scholar-official class, mastering medical skills, shipbuilding, war, planting, simple calendar and so on.

Moreover, the civilian class also has a certain level of farming. Although slash-and-burn farming and some weird taro and coconuts are grown, they are more suitable for dealing with farming civilization than the Indians in North America who live by water and grass.

Is colonizing a class-divided region easy?
Or is it easier to colonize an area where class differentiation is relatively weak?

The expansion in North Asia, the Aleutian Islands, North American polar regions and other places in recent years has actually given the answer. Those tribes with relatively low class differentiation have abundant martial arts and high combat effectiveness, so they are difficult to deal with.

On the contrary, it is much easier to deal with tribes that have already seen class differentiation.

Or, win over the top.

Or, to please the chief.

Or, take advantage of the tribal wars between the islands, intervene in internal strife, support one faction and suppress the other.

In short, the more class divisions have emerged, the more means are available.

Where class differentiation is less important, if Dashun's side doesn't have too much advantage, it really can't compete with a group of Raksha people of the old etiquette school. Their methods of attracting those people are much better than Dashun's.

In this regard, licking the upper class, it should be said that Confucian scholars are very good at it.

Liu Yu didn't shy away from anything, and directly quoted a passage from "Historical Records".

"In the past, Han Gao won the world, and the officials didn't know the etiquette, so they ordered the uncles and grandsons to understand the etiquette."

"Han Gao's chariot leaves the house, and hundreds of officials are in charge of the police. Lead the princes and kings down to the officials six hundred stones to congratulate each other. From the princes and kings down, there is no fear of respect. When the ceremony is over, the French wine is restored. The attendants sit down All the people in the hall lower their heads, and start their life according to the order of honor and inferiority. Nine lines of cups are served, and those who call on them say "stop drinking." The censor enforces the law, and those who are not as good as the ritual are attracted away. No one dares to make a noise and be rude. Emperor Gao said: 'I am known today as the noblest of the emperor'."

"So, the chiefs of Honolulu don't know the dignity of a prince, nor the rites of a group of officials. Once they know, they will be like ants who have tasted caramel, and they will never go back."

"Nowadays, all the states on the island are conquering. You wait on the island and choose a strong one. Use medical skills, songs, drums, and planting to approach him. Teach and guide carefully."

"We send out guns, they send out people, you instigate... er, no, you educate. In this way, Honolulu is unified, and the rest of the tribe must be left as vassals and practice feudalism!"

"Don't you all want to practice feudalism in your dreams? Remember, if you really want to do it, you must practice feudalism. Leave some big vassals behind."

"Do you understand?"

Liu Yu gave an overview of the situation there, and talked about his strategic thinking. Meng Songlu is also a person who has read a lot of history books, so he naturally understands.

Although, that's obviously fucking overbearing as well.

But...can...but is this also a variant of Guan Zhonglanyi?
As for retaining great vassals, practicing feudalism, and not engaging in unification, Meng Songlu knew what it meant.

The Great Unity is relatively strong in resistance.

Getting a bunch of feudal courtiers is like how Dashun dealt with Japan. Only in this way can they not be rebellious.

The current chiefdom prince doesn't want to do it anymore, or Dashun doesn't want him to do it anymore, he can support the big vassal at any time and get rid of him.

Ceremony and music are the basic skills of Confucian scholars.

Meng Songlu felt that this incident could be regarded as a professional counterpart.

When the island was roughly unified and became king, no one could refuse the temptation of "knowing the emperor's value today" felt by Han Gaozu.

That kind of solemn and quiet palace with strict status and hierarchy, controlled advances and retreats, and strict etiquette is indeed very attractive.

In terms of difficulty, Meng Songlu thought about it, but it didn't seem too big.

The only foreign forces that can be contacted on the island are the people from Dashun. This is the first-mover advantage.

Before on the island, I also exchanged some handicrafts for coconut and taro, and also gave gifts to some chiefs. The members of the Surveying and Mapping Research Group of the Academy of Sciences also got permission from the chiefs to walk around the island a few times and learned Learned some simple language and etiquette.

Since it didn't sound too difficult, and Liu Yu also gave pointers and routines on the general direction of the strategy, Meng Songlu said, "The students know."

"It's just, how many people do we need to go this time?"

Liu Yu said: "I have already chosen the person. Listen to you, not to them. What they learn is practical knowledge, and they are not good at this kind of thing."

"You guys are very knowledgeable, so you take the lead. There are not many people in the first batch. I selected forty people, all of whom are capable scholars."

"Some are good at farming, some are good at medicine, and some are good at raising cattle and horses."

"After you go, go get close to the chief and learn the language. Within two years, become a servant, get a fief, and some population, even if you have completed the initial mission."

"I'll talk about it later. It's mainly your benefactor. It's best to establish a good relationship with the chief within two years, and get a piece of land and some local people to be your fiefs."

Meng Songlu's face twitched a little, but he still straightened his back and said, "Please don't use the word 'golden master', Duke Xingguo. Students...students don't do things for them."

After hearing this, the people in the company laughed secretly, and said in their hearts that you don't like to hear the truth.No money, you swim there?Three or 40 people were transported. The basic salary, the cattle and horses transported, various gifts, seed farm tools, these years are not all money?
No money, no money to do thousands of miles of colonization?
Liu Yu also just smiled, didn't care about this trivial matter, avoided this statement, and said: "Astronomy tells us that there will be a comet soon. It was the 14th year of Duke Wen, there was a star in the Big Dipper, Zhou Nei Shi Shufu said Within seven years, the kings of Song, Qi, and Jin will all die of the chaotic one."

"If it's really difficult for you, then buy an astronomical almanac, look at the solar and lunar eclipses on it, and then use the prophecy of comets to perform witchcraft and wish things closer..."

Meng Songlu couldn't help sighing, thinking that Duke Xingguo always mocked us, this time, we must follow what the market says, and don't steam the steamed buns to save our breath!

This matter sounds not difficult. If I can't even do this within two years, what else can I say?

Sui Dao: "Guo Gong is concerned. Don't worry, everyone. The students have followed Mr. for many years, not only have a solid understanding of practical learning, but also understand rituals and music."

"This matter, I can't wait for my ability."

"Within three years, the students will not only accomplish what the Duke said, but they will also need to write a dictionary with transliteration and structure."

Liu Yu saw that he was strong and fierce, and said with a smile: "That's the best. If you make it up, it will be worth a thousand gold. At that time, your husband will also be spared the hardship of lack of money. Isn't he going to the north to try the village community? When you are short of money, if you finish it, bring this dictionary and I will give you money."

Although it is still ahead of schedule, a penny beats a hero.

The root of the problem in the Huainan Township Society now is lack of money.If you have money, how can it be so troublesome to transform now?

Even though he didn't want to bow down for five buckets of rice, he didn't have the momentum to correct the word "gold master" just now, so he could only say: "Students do their best. But please restrain the sailors and don't mess around on the island during this period." Come on. I've heard of overseas sailors, they're all... er..."

He didn't have the nerve to say something too harsh, and everyone laughed, thinking that there was nothing to avoid.

"Don't worry, sailors won't mess with the deal on the island. After two or three years, if you succeed and gain trust, I will send people to send guns and steel to the island."

"If you can achieve the unification of princes and princes, you can be regarded as the founding father of the country. As long as you know when the time comes, when there is a conflict between the celestial dynasty and the vassals, you can sit still and keep your head."

"If we really want to make it happen, I will invite the emperor, confer titles and honors, and imitate the system of the Han Dynasty, just like Jia Sheng. Compared with Korea and Japan, it is different. Do you understand?"

Since Meng Songlu is a true Confucian scholar, he naturally does not speak indiscriminately, and does not care about Liu Yu's unlucky metaphor.

He also understands the difference.The prefectures and states are parallel, and the Tian Dynasty appoints the prime minister of the country, which is naturally different from the vassals such as Korea and Japan at this time.
