Daming 1805

Chapter 264 Judy Uranium
Regarding the textile and clothing industry planning of Dashiguo, the plan to build factories on the west coast of Daqinhai and Crete and introduce Thai and Westerners to work was rejected without discussion.

After finally cleaning up the locals, wouldn’t it be necessary to rework the Thai and Westerners?

As for the direction of building a factory in Dongmozhou, it has been approved by most officials and craftsmen, but there is some controversy on whether to use the local Mo people or introduce Tianzhu people.

Zhu Jingyuan felt that turning Mozhou into a large Tianzhu seemed to be better than continuing to exist as "Mo" continent.

But I still don't want to accept this result.

So the meeting is still going on.

Lin Zexu has returned from Morocco, and he also spoke at today's meeting:

"Why do we have to use people from Taixi, Tianzhu, and Mozhou? Isn't it good to just use Ming people as workers?"

Niu Jian subconsciously replied to his partner:
"Because it's hard to find workers and immigrants from Ming Dynasty now. We don't have a lot of immigrants in the big food country. We mainly use them to dig oil, plus oil refining and chemical industry, which is not enough..."

Lin Zexu frowned and said:
"Our Dashi country is not only the mainland, but also the millions of square kilometers in Dongmozhou. How can these lands get a share of millions of immigrants? Just use these immigrants as textile workers... "

Niu Jian again subconsciously added:
"The current main task of the local immigrants is to open up wasteland, farm and build railways. The Changshi Mansion's plan is to develop enough farmland in the local area, and gradually realize the food self-sufficiency of the big food country..."

Lin Zexu said helplessly:
"That is to say, all immigrants have a purpose. If we want to develop additional new industries, we have to find a way to increase the population..."

A group of officials and craftsmen nodded one after another, feeling very helpless about the situation in front of them.

Pan Shien said with great emotion:
"There is too much land, and there are too many things that need people, so no one is available.

"In all dynasties, this kind of situation only appeared in the early days of establishment.

"That's because after a long period of war, the land was barren and everything was left unused, and it was returning to life.

"As for our Ming Dynasty, when it was full of vitality, a similar situation occurred because the land was too large."

When Pan Shien said this, a group of people subconsciously looked at Zhu Jingyuan.

Everyone understands the logic of Pan Shien's words. The land Zhu Jingyuan got through the peace talks is comparable to the rebirth of a dynasty.

Zhu Jingyuan thought of another direction:
"It's not that our Ming Dynasty has not experienced wars, it's just that the wars happened outside the mainland of Ming Dynasty.

"The life of the local people in Ming Dynasty has also been affected by the war that has lasted for more than ten years.

"Our Daming is also recovering its vitality now, the vitality it should have had.

"So war should be avoided as much as possible, and if war must be fought, it should be fought outside the homeland as much as possible."

A group of officials and craftsmen were taken aback again, and then nodded in admiration.

The atmosphere at the scene became serious, but Zhu Jingyuan waved his hands speechlessly and said:
"Why did the topic go off track? Let's come back to discuss our business, what to do about the workers in textile and garment factories."

Lin Zexu had already thought about it, and replied directly at this time:

"We still have to find a way to find additional people, but the subordinates feel that we can't just have Tianzhu people or Mo people.

"Nanyang people, Tatars, Siamese, Japanese, Koreans, all ethnic groups under the jurisdiction of Ming Dynasty, you can take them.

"It should be said that it is best to have all races, and it should be as even and balanced as possible, and no one kind of people can become an absolute majority.

"We also need to have people from Ming Dynasty, we can hire some literate people from Ming Dynasty to be the management of the factory.

"This kind of special hire should not be counted in the imperial court's immigration quota."

Hearing this suggestion, Zhu Jingyuan finally nodded slowly:

"Yes, this is a good way. If there are only one ethnic group of foreigners, then they will form a circle and use their own dialect to communicate and live. It is easy to form a barrier with the court.

"If multiple ethnic groups live together in a group, coupled with the official management of the Ming Dynasty, all of them will have to use the elegant dialect of the Ming Dynasty if they want to live a normal life, and they will all be assimilated by the Ming Dynasty culture.

"Recruitment of immigrants in various vassal states is not led by the Ming court, but it can be officially hosted and promoted by the imperial courts of each vassal state. Each vassal state should be willing to reduce the proportion of natives."

The process of immigration is a process of assimilation, but the key is to have a direction of assimilation.

In the thirteen colonies in North America dominated by the British, and the United States after independence, immigrants came from various countries in the West.

But after arriving in the New World, they all slowly switched to English and gradually became Americans.

Lin Zexu's plan was to build a colony in the central part of the Eastern Mozhou where immigrants from various feudal kingdoms of the Ming Dynasty lived.

Use Ming language and culture to maintain order in this colony.

Zhu Jingyuan directly expressed his approval, and other officials and craftsmen also felt that this plan was good.

So Zhu Jingyuan immediately ordered Lin Zexu to be in charge of organizing a team to complete the detailed planning and start implementation as soon as possible.

After the meeting adjourned, Zhu Jingyuan returned to his office to review and approve reports from various aspects of the kingdom.

I was busy in the office until the evening, and went back to the harem to have dinner with my mother and concubines.

This is also a tradition in the Great Food Kingdom. The king's family eats together instead of eating by themselves in their respective palaces.

It is also because the size of the current palace is small, and the number of concubines in Zhu Jingyuan's kingdom is also small, so they don't look chaotic if they can gather together.

In addition, it is impossible for Liang Yunying to live in Dashi Kingdom all the time, and she plans to return to China after Zhu Jingyuan's child is born.

So during the period of staying in the Great Food Kingdom, I ate with Zhu Jingyuan and the concubines every day.

The meal has been prepared, and Liang Yunying waited for enough time to check it, and when Zhu Jingyuan arrived, the meal was served directly.
Liu Muyun is eight months pregnant, and her belly is already very big.

However, her body is very good, coupled with her natural and lively personality, she still insists on walking around every day.

The doctor also said that this would be good for the fetus, so Zhu Jingyuan let her go, but arranged for a servant to follow her all day.

After Yu Muxue worked hard with Zhu Jingyuan for more than two months, she finally became pregnant too.

It's been five months now, and my stomach is starting to bulge.

Although she is still much worse than Liu Muyun, she has a lazy personality and doesn't want to move anymore.

Instead, Zhu Jingyuan's mother Liang Yunying often urged her to move around.

The new palace of the Great Food Kingdom has been completed, and it could have been moved in directly.

But Zhu Jingyuan felt that the two pregnant women were not suitable for moving, so he asked to continue to give birth in the old palace before moving.

After dinner, Zhu Jingyuan said goodbye to his mother, and took Chunxiang back to his room.

After Zhu Jingyuan's two concubines became pregnant, the monthly available opportunities fell to the maidservant.

Chunxiang and Qiuyue, the two Korean maidservants who had followed Zhu Jingyuan since childhood, were finally officially taken into the house by Zhu Jingyuan, and they were both named Jieyu of the Great Food King.

An Xiaona and the other four orchids haven't been used yet, and they don't have official titles yet.

According to the tradition of the Ming court, before the official concubine gave birth to a son, the maidservant would be prevented from becoming pregnant as much as possible.

Although Liu Muyun and Yu Muxue were both pregnant, the child hadn't been born yet, and it was uncertain whether they would have a son or die young.

Therefore, when Zhu Jingyuan had sex with Chunxiang and Qiuyue, he still had to deliberately avoid the period of conception.

Zhu Jingyuan read the newspaper for a while, took a shower and went to bed.

Two months later, in the last few days of the first year of Ankang, Liu Muyun's due date arrived.

This is the first child of Zhu Jingyuan, the first child of King Dashi, and the first grandchild of Liang Yunying.

Under Liang Yunying's command, the operation of the entire palace harem was completely turned to production preparations.

Until December 25th, Liu Muyun finally gave birth to a son who weighed nearly eight catties.

Not only is she not small, but she also cries very loudly. You can tell that she is very healthy at first glance.

Zhu Jingyuan's eldest son was born, and the whole palace was full of joy.

In the specially prepared delivery room, Liang Yunying, who is officially a grandma, was full of surprises, holding her grandson and refused to let go.

Zhu Jingyuan, a father, has no chance to hug him.

Liu Muyun's health is really good, and she recovered quickly after giving birth for the first time.

Then he opened his eyes wide and stared at his son.

Her eyes were full of longing, but with Liang Yunying, the imperial concubine, she still didn't dare to ask for it directly.

Zhu Jingyuan sensed the scope of the room, so he stretched out his hand to hold his mother:

"Mother, Mu Yun is awake, you give her the baby..."

Liang Yunying immediately came to her senses, and sat down beside Liu Muyun's bed with a smile.

"Be careful, hands like this..."

Liang Yunying carefully handed the child to his mother, and at the same time directly taught Liu Muyun how to look after the child.

The palace has hired a nanny to look after the child, but Liang Yunying still cares about education instinctively.

Liu Muyun herself didn't resist, she hugged her son and giggled.

Although Zhu Jingyuan didn't try to hug the child, he was very happy, and he became a father himself.

After wandering around the room, Zhu Jingyuan sat down at the table by the wall, picked up a pen and paper and began to write and draw.

I have to name my son.

The rules of naming children by the Ming royal family were established in the era of Taizu Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang.

The names of subsequent descendants are all three characters, and the first character is of course the surname Zhu.

The second character, Zhu Yuanzhang, has a set of rules for each son, and Zhu Jingyuan himself belongs to the family of Zhu Di, the fourth king of Yan.

The second character is the order of "Gao Zhan Qi Jianyou, Hou Zai Yi Chang You; Ci He Yi Bo Zhong, Jian Jing Di Xian You".

The third character uses the cycle of the five elements of "fire, earth, metal, water, and wood".

If the last two words are the same, it is considered a duplicate name and needs to be taboo.

Now Zhu Jingyuan's father, Zhu Jianyan, is the emperor. As long as ordinary people don't use the words "Jian" and "Yan" together, there is no taboo.

After five generations, when the descendants cycle to the side of the word fire again, they can be named Yan again.

Because the second word indicating seniority is different.

Zhu Jingyuan himself is from the generation of Jing, and the last character is next to the character Tu.

My son should be in the Di character generation, and the last character should be next to the gold character.

Zhu Jingyuan subconsciously wrote "uranium".
