Chapter 1166 Preparation for War ([-])

Of course, the Kandy Dynasty must have opinions on this.

However, in a state surrounded by garrisons and fleets, their opinions are worthless.

At most, the two sides discussed it. The gray-clothed faction cannot go to the mountainous areas, and the caste faction over there will no longer interfere with the low-level areas.

In private, they will quietly look for the British, and forget the lesson of driving away the ginger and inviting the pepper.

But the British don't have time to talk about it in Ceylon now, and they don't want to provoke Dashun at all.

Originally, Dashun had no clear relationship with France, and at this time he had nothing to do to find trouble, and to provoke Dashun would be nothing to do.

What Quan Zhe sees is Sinicization, or Sinicization in a narrow sense to some extent.

The root of this kind of sinicization in a narrow sense is that there are about 50 million Sinhalese in the Dashun control area, and about 20 Han people are stuffed in at once.

Sinicization in a broader sense is actually modernization and secularization.

That is what Liu Yu said is "generally modified to be national."

Secularization is the premise of modernization; breaking the caste system is modernization.

Sinicization in a narrow sense is a long process that requires education, population, economic advantages, and so on.

Sinicization in a broad sense is the basis of Sinicization in a narrow sense.

Because, the world is moving forward, not backward, and it is necessary to lay the foundation for the future modernized Han country, rather than backward to allow a group of old ruling classes to read scriptures.

As long as it can be the benchmark of modernization and modernization, then those universal things of modernization and modernization belong to the nation.

The reason why the religious reform of the Huiyi faction succeeded here is that Dashun itself is against the local ruling class, and the low-caste population here has a large population and controls the economic base.

The more realistic and crude reason is that whether it is the Portuguese or the Dutch, after all, they still need high-caste groups to provide them with food, labor, and service.

But for Dashun... there is no shortage of people who know how to farm and are willing to farm.

The Celestial Dynasty does not need to rely on a group of high-caste Ceyloners to farm land. The level of the Celestial Dynasty’s land farming is not known to be higher than these high-dimensional castes.

Moreover, some of Liu Yu's rebellious teachings in this kind of place convinced Liu Yu that the complete annexation of Ceylon meant the awakening of Ceylon nationalism; This is the basis for Dashun to permanently occupy the southwest region.

Even, he is very happy to intensify the contradiction between the secular faction and the caste faction.

Because, the more the contradictions intensify, the orthodox caste faction will become more "traditional" in order to prove their orthodoxy, and will never reform themselves and let go of caste restrictions.

Dashun doesn’t want to grow tea in the Ceylon Mountains, so why not go to the mountains?
Therefore, Dashun's policy is to keep the few high-caste villages as they are; while a large amount of land is distributed to low-caste people, and their castes are dispersed, and their generational occupation restrictions are abolished.

The only thing that still has occupational restrictions is that they are not allowed to serve in the military, nor do they need to.Instead, they switched to paying land taxes instead of military service.

Dashun does not need native soldiers, because there is no shortage of people.

Therefore, from the perspective of politics and regime, the Sinicization of the southwestern region of Ceylon has actually been very successful.

The government soldiers perform military service, the state grants land, and the government soldiers have the obligation to perform military service.

The scattered small farmers, whose caste restrictions have been removed in fact, pay taxes.

A large number of industrial and commercial practitioners filled plantations and pearl fishing ships in the form of hired labor rather than labor.

The household registration of the village is compiled, and the head of the village and the chief of grain are set up.

In addition to state-owned land, the granted land is redeemed by each family. After the redemption, the land ownership is obtained, and it can be bought, sold, traded, and merged.

The Governor's Mansion expropriates agricultural population every year to carry out water conservancy construction, but it will stagger the busy season of farming - because the land is relatively abundant, and there is no serious gap between the rich and the poor in the countryside, so it is inappropriate to collect labor money and hire people to work. It can even be said that it is hard work.

In lowland areas, Dashun banknotes are widely used.

All urban schools are taught in Chinese.

The first law to be implemented was to prohibit blood marriages of the same surname and to legalize inter-caste marriages.

Monastics are subject to a strict ultimatum system, and no one is allowed to become a monk without being reviewed by a government-affiliated agency.The leaders of the Sangha are not allowed to inherit without the approval of the government of the Duhu Mansion.

After all, this is the territory under the jurisdiction of the Ceylon Governor's Mansion in Dashun, and it is the Ceylon Army Town.

Not Dashun India Company, or Dashun Ceylon Company.

Dashun's commercial capital occupies an economic advantage here.

But they still don't have the political advantage to match their small-scale economic advantage.

Therefore, Dashun's commercial capital had to submit to the will of the Dashun bureaucracy group, focusing on "digesting" the southwestern part of Ceylon as a forward base instead of "maximizing profit".

The difference between the two is that if you choose to maximize profits, then maintaining the caste system, maintaining caste labor, and introducing Tamils ​​as slaves are the priority choices for maximizing profits.

Even transporting Han people to Ceylon is against the interests of commercial capital.

However, the will of a part of the bureaucratic group headed by Liu Yu is not the case.

Moreover, obviously, it is still too early for the commercial bourgeoisie in Dashun to gain a dominant position and become the ruling class.

This is the difference between "Dashun Ceylon Military Town Dudufu" and "Dashun Ceylon Chartered Trading Company".

Liu Yu was deeply impressed by the fact that the Dutch have been tossing in Nanyang for more than a hundred years. The population of the Netherlands is so small, and the foundation of the Nanyang market is so good that the handicraft industry in the country has collapsed.

He didn't want Dashun to make the same mistakes again.

This kind of contradiction and conflict between the bureaucratic group with a long-term vision and the commercial capital, or the difference in the route, is actually one of the reasons why Zhao Liben was worried after hearing that his younger brother was working in the gemstone mine.

In fact, after Zhao Liben rioted in the black gold mine in Huanglongfu, when he was waiting for the amnesty in the county town, some officials recruited gold diggers there.

It is indeed officially endorsed.

It's just that after Zhao Liben was cheated once, he no longer believed in such things, even if the recruitment conditions were written in a hype.

He thought that it must be the same as last time, and if he went, he would really just come out of the wolf's den, like a tiger's den.

So this time, when I heard that my younger brother actually went to work in the gemstone mine to make money, my heart skipped a beat.

However, whether it is his younger brother or the job recruitment after he escaped from the Huanglongfu Black Gold Mine, it is really different.

The imperial court, or the regime of a mature unified country, does not only consider pure monetary interests when doing things.

In other words, sometimes they don't only consider short-term interests, which is very different from commercial capital.

For example, the recruitment information he heard last time was done by the imperial court out of the needs of border defense and immigration to strengthen the state power.

There are two preconditions in total.

In the Vladivostok area, rice that can adapt to the climate of the Northeast has been grown using the red hair rice of Ezo.

In the Heilongjiang River Basin, quite good gold mines were discovered in later generations of Mohe, Heihe, Fuyuan and other areas.

There are three conditions under the pressure of reality.

The Wuding River, also known as the Yongding River in later generations, is full of water all day long.This is the river in the capital city. If there is water here, things will be troublesome. Moreover, the population is increasing and the land is decreasing.The area around the capital is the most afraid of accidents.

On the border between North Korea and Dashun, there are increasing problems of people fleeing from North Korea.

The uneasiness about the northern issue is engraved in the genes, and I hope to increase the strength of the border.

These two preconditions, coupled with these three practical persecutions, made Liu Yu take the opportunity to appeal to the emperor and propose a solid border plan.

By the way, solve the problem of Wuding River and the immigration problem at the border of North Korea.

To put it simply, it is to use the gold mines in Mohe, Heihe, and Fuyuan areas as bait to encourage capital development and emigrate.

In view of the behavior of the capital, it is necessary for the government to supervise the business, and to emigrate in a way similar to the additional obligations when the Toyo Trading Company was established back then.

The general policy is that the court selects outstanding officials to supervise the matter.

Recruit excellent foremen from Qixia and other places.

Capital contribution, recruitment of population.

The foreman leads the people, according to each work group, the gold is divided into [-] to [-]%, that is, the work group that digs gold gets [-]%, and the remaining [-]% is owned by the company.

After deducting eating, drinking and lazing, take out 20.00% five of the net profit, 15.00% of which will go into domestic funds, and [-]% will be used to recruit people, cultivate local land, focus on the demand for gold mines, promote agricultural development, and increase immigration quantity.

Try to create seven or eight counties with a population of tens of thousands around the gold mining areas in the south of Mohe, Heihe, Fuyuan and other places within ten years, and maintain absolute control over the Heilongjiang River Basin.

Among them, some were recruited from Kanto.

Most of the rest were recruited from around the Wuding River, so as to relieve the pressure in the capital area—this pressure refers to the social instability after the flood, which is what the emperor paid more attention to.

At the same time, it also solves two problems by the way.

When recruiting farmers, at the border of North Korea, Korean village communities who crossed the border were forced to be recruited, and they were scattered and then migrated to the gold mining area.

And every time a group of people were relocated, the Han people in the Wudinghe area were used to supplement the villages in the border areas of North Korea, and directly took over the village houses and the rice fields that had been reclaimed.

After the Koreans were separated from the gold mining area, they lived together with the Han people who had migrated there, and at the same time, they also used their rice planting technology.

At the same time, in view of the coal mining attempts in the Yanjing area in southern Sichuan, advanced coal mining technology was adopted in the Xishan coal mine and around Gyeonggi.

On the one hand, it ensures that the coal used in the capital will not reappear in the previous state where the price of coal has soared like a meter, and maintain the stability of the capital.The capital cannot be chaotic.

On the other hand, reduce firewood consumption and reduce sediment in Wuding River.

At that time, after Zhao Liben escaped from the black gold mine, the recruiting he encountered had such a background.

However, his painful memory in the black gold mine made him unable to understand the abstract crime of capital seeking profit, but it was embodied as a deep fear of gold mines, silver mines, and gemstone mines.

However, the imperial court is not a commercial company, let alone a Li family Dashun company. After all, there is still a need for governance and long-term preparations.Although he wanted to do this and make Tianxia a Li family's Dashun company, the story of his ancestors told him that it would not be possible to run Tianxia as a "company" dedicated to supporting his family for a long time.

Therefore, in fact, the gem mines in Ceylon are not as cruel as Zhao Liben imagined.At least not as cruel as he was in the black gold mine.
