Chapter 547 The Heart of the Virgin and the World of the Tiger and the Wolf (Third update, please subscribe)
There is absolutely nothing wrong with hiring overseas workers to make up for the shortage of human resources.

Compared to the behavior of Europeans who only care about hiring and disregarding life and death, Daming is undoubtedly the "light of humanity" in this world.

Even Chen Wenqiang, the Minister of Immigration, did not know that in the following 30 years, African companies employed tens of millions of indentured laborers. Of course, not all of these indentured laborers were sent to mines in Beihai or Alaska. Most of them They all cultivated plantations, built railways and completed other corresponding work in Africa.These indentured laborers were all sent home after their work, and reunited with their families with the rewards of ten years of indentured labor.

Of course, these are things for later, but in the following decades, the hard work of these workers made a great contribution to the overall rise of Ming Dynasty, and of course, they also received corresponding remuneration.

However, at the beginning, not many people could accept this kind of thing.After all, among the high-level officials in Ming Dynasty, quite a few were born as contract laborers. Just the ministers of each ministry, that is, the ministers of each ministry, there are two who were born as contract laborers.

Wang Xinjie, the left servant of the Ministry of Culture, is also a contract laborer. He was born as a scholar. He is the first primary school principal in Nanhua. Now the Ministry of Culture is also in charge of primary and secondary education. When he learned that the imperial court was going to use "contract labor" in the mines in Beihai and Alaska "After that, he immediately asked His Majesty to show his attitude.

"Your Majesty, don't do to others what you don't want to be done to others! Since we oppose the hiring of Chinese labor by Westerners, how can we..."

Before Wang Xinjie could finish speaking, Zhu Xianhai spoke.

"Oh, mining is not only hard work, but also death. Every Chinese person is extremely precious to Daming!"

What about non-Chinese people?

How can I, the king of Ming Dynasty, need to be responsible for other people?
They are not citizens of Ming Dynasty, and I am not Midi, nor the world policeman, why bother to make fun of myself?
Even if it is the US emperor, they selectively see or not see it according to their interests.

For American imperialism, countries that do not serve their interests can definitely see all kinds of things that country does, and all they need is to find various reasons to interfere in the internal affairs of that country.

If it is in his interest, what is unfair, what is racial discrimination, all of these can be directly ignored.

We Da Ming don't need to look for reasons to beat others like they do.For those foreigners, of course, there are not so many so-called responsibilities.

In fact, that is the case.

Of course a country has to take care of its own people, as for foreigners.

What does it matter to me?

"This……"

Wang Jie was dumbfounded, and said weakly,

"Long live, this is an act that hurts the people. Although they are not my Ming people, but your majesty is a sage in the world, so naturally he will not condone his servants to be slaves in the name of contract labor..."

Look at what you said, "indentured labor" is paid, slaves, do they have wages?They not only get wages, but also include food and housing.

But Wang Xinjie didn't think so, let alone a ten-year construction period, even an eight-year construction period, how many people could make it through? How long did they stay in the gold mine back then, and how many survived in the end?
God can testify that after the ten-year construction period is over, if [-]-[-]% of the people can go home alive, it is God's blessing!
From a scholar to the Taiping Army, from a captive to a contract worker, from a contract worker to a minister of the Ministry of Education, Wang Xinjie has always been conscientious and conscientious. Faced with such a thing that violates his conscience, of course he has to stand up and oppose it.

He even had the intention to learn from the officials of the Ming Dynasty who were not afraid of the imperial staff in the history books to speak out, but he obviously made a mistake. Since Zhu Xianhai, the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, is not Wanli or Jiajing, Wang Xinjie is not a minister of the Ming Dynasty. The great emperor only showed dissatisfaction a little bit, and Wang Xinjie withered immediately, and there was no need to go to court at all.

"Slave! According to what you said, it was the emperor who took the lead in letting people use slaves!"

Emperor Zhu immediately said angrily.

"After playing with it for a long time, the root is here! Is that what you mean?"

His Majesty's anger made Wang Xinjie almost throw himself to the ground to plead guilty.

"I deserve ten thousand deaths for my crimes, I deserve ten thousand deaths for my crimes...Long live my lord, my minister, I think my use of contract labor in the Ming Dynasty must be different from that of Westerners, my minister, please come closer!"

Wang Xinjie left in despair.

Looking at his back, Zhu Xianhai felt a little helpless in his heart.

You said that if you take good care of your education by the minister of the Ministry of Education, wouldn't it be enough?
It's true that you have to ask about things outside your responsibilities.

And it's still a foreigner's business, isn't it just eating salty radish and worrying about it?

At the same time, he knew that it was time for the Minister of Education to move his position. What kind of world is this?
The world of tigers and wolves!
Without the heart of a tiger and a wolf, how could it be possible to survive in this world of the jungle?
In this world of the weak and the strong, the rule of survival is very simple, either be a tiger or a wolf, or be a fish.

A country that doesn't even have such a heartless heart is definitely not worthy of living in this world!

However, Wang Xinjie is very serious in his work, and he belongs to the kind of person who will do his best as long as he is given a job. This is also the person Zhu Xianhai asked him to be in charge of primary and secondary education.

In this era, there are not many education experts in Ming Dynasty. What is needed most is the kind of person who can do things seriously, or seriously implement his plan. In this regard, Wang Xinjie is quite satisfactory. After all, there will naturally be Zhu in the general direction. The great emperor can handle it himself.

In fact, Emperor Zhu himself didn't know much about education, but he had the foresight of a century and a half ahead of the times. Although Emperor Zhu could not handle everything, he was still at the helm with ease.

For example, in terms of education, he created the "four, two, three, three" school system from the very beginning, four-year primary school, which is compulsory compulsory education,
The reason why the four-year compulsory education is implemented is still limited by financial resources, but this is almost the case in this era.

The four-year compulsory education can enable those children to learn to read and write, learn to do math, and have a basic understanding of the world.

At least they can read books and newspapers in their future lives, and even when they encounter some problems, they can turn to some reference books to solve them.

All children under the age of 15 must receive compulsory education. Of course, in addition to coercion, there are also temptations—in order to get parents to take the initiative to send their children to school, he even asked the school to provide free lunches.

Fortunately, Daming is a big agricultural country, and it’s just a free lunch for hundreds of thousands of children. Zhu Xianhai can’t guarantee whether a glass of milk can strengthen a nation, but Daming can still afford this glass of milk and meat .

At least it can let Daming's children's physical fitness win at the starting line!

With this glass of milk and a piece of meat, it will take a few generations to restore the physical fitness of the people who were dragged down by the "prosperity of bran" in the Qing Dynasty to its original level!

However, just eating and drinking well is not enough!

"In this barbaric world, if you want to survive, you must rely on benevolence, righteousness and morality, and you will definitely not be able to survive. "Civilization is the spirit, and barbarism is the body." In fact, when dealing with barbarians, you have to be barbaric yourself! Civilization is too After a long time, I forgot the true face of barbarism, and the country will suffer!"

While talking to himself, Emperor Zhu shook his head and secretly decided in his heart.

"This Wang Xinjie... well, move his position! You can't let him train only benevolent and righteous gentlemen who are full of benevolence and morality!"

Of course, Zhu Xianhai does not deny that social development needs such people, but people with "the heart of the Virgin" will certainly not be able to survive in this era, and a country of the Virgin Mary must be fat in the mouths of wild beasts in this era.

"Civilization! It's a good thing, but in the jungle, you'd better learn to be a beast first!"

Shaking his head and sighing softly, Zhu Xianhai frowned as if thinking of something, and said.

"It seems that only military physical education classes are not enough. We should find other ways to awaken the martial spirit of the people!"

Although Zhu Xianhai promoted "military and national education" as early as the Nanhua period, and also promoted "military sports" in schools, in his opinion, there are still some shortcomings.

Martial spirit!

How to awaken the dormant martial spirit of a nation from the depths of the heart?
This question is a bit more complicated.
