A Millennium Aristocratic Family Starting from the Shang Dynasty

Chapter 472 Cultural Identity Ambassador to China

With the support of the royal family, Wang Yun began to recruit a large number of people to expand the navy. There is a big difference between ordinary naval forces and naval forces capable of long voyages at sea. After all, storms in the ocean are not something ordinary people can survive.

In order to train enough sailors, Wang Yun asked old sailors who had experienced the test of storms to teach them step by step. After a period of teaching like this, and then letting them go through a few storms, they will basically be qualified.

In order to cooperate with the control of the Ryukyu Islands and the Fuso Islands, the size of the navy must be expanded rapidly. According to the discussion of the royal family, the number of the voyage navy must be at least [-].

Naval bases in Ryukyu and Ryukyu were under rapid construction, and a large number of nobles began to gather supplies, food, cattle, farm tools, etc. and transport them to Ryukyu Island with the help of navy fleets.

After six months of land reclamation, only half of the [-] acres of farmland was planted with sugar cane.

Among them, Wang Yun played an important role in providing a total of [-] Japanese serfs and [-] cattle organized by nobles and powerful men.

The growth cycle of sugarcane is about seven months. The Ryukyu Island has a warm climate, abundant rainfall, and no winter. After planting sugarcane, you can also plant a season of rice.

After learning this, the nobles and powerful men immediately understood the value of the land here. Many people wanted to take ownership of these lands, but unfortunately, the Crown had no plans to sell them.

Even if these nobles were deliberately cheating, they had no power to fight back against the imperial court that controlled the fleet.

The nobles and powerful men are already preparing to purchase more serfs and cattle to complete the cultivation of the plantation as soon as possible. In ten years, as long as you manage it carefully, you will be able to earn at least several times your investment.

After realizing this, many nobles began to look for the royal family and wanted to cultivate more fields. You must know that one million acres of farmland can be reclaimed on the Ryukyu Island, and only one hundred thousand acres have been reclaimed now. Even if you only have the right to use it, ten years will be enough to make a lot of money.

The royal family did not refuse the nobles and powerful people who wanted to cultivate more farmland. Instead, they required that the land they originally purchased the use rights for should be reclaimed and planted before they could continue to purchase it.

In addition to reclaiming farmland with nobles and nobles, the royal family also began to recruit people to start building roads, strongholds, manors, irrigation ditches, etc. on the island in preparation for immigration.

Although it is difficult to immigrate to the Ryukyu Islands, many people are reluctant to go, but they have to do it. At the same time, the royal family also began to recruit some public families to migrate to the Ryukyu Islands.

Although the whole process is slow, it is still very objective after several years.

The population of the Central Plains was at its peak. After the land was not divided, those strong men began to immigrate to the border areas under the organization of the imperial court. After all, there were still some who were willing to go to Ryukyu.

After the leaders of Daqian went to the capital of Daqian to broaden their horizons, they were all impressed by Daqian. After returning to Ryukyu, they also learned from the Daqian people and began to reclaim land, plant sugar cane, learn the Gan people's language, and changed it into Learn Ganren's names, learn Ganren's clothes and farming methods. Learn everything from Ganren.

The imperial court still agreed with this situation, so it allowed Ryukyu and Ryukyu to send envoys to study. The princes of the Ryukyu Kingdom and the Great Ryukyu Kingdom carefully selected twenty people and came to Dagan to study. These envoys were called envoys to China, and they mainly came to learn the culture and system of Daqian. As for those technologies, they needed the consent of the imperial court to learn.

These Ganhua envoys can study Confucian classics, Taoism, Legalism, and even Mohism, famous schools and other schools. However, the Mohists, Gongshu, and Peasants are strictly restricted and are not allowed to study, not even books. touch.

The royal family knows very well that in this era, what is the fastest way to provide strength. Although in the academy, Confucianists, Legalists, Taoists, famous scholars, etc. all say that it depends on them to govern and strengthen the country. Only they can make the country eternal. Strong and stable.

But in fact, these schools of thought are more about formulating a rules framework and then increasing strength according to the country's population and land. The Mohist Gewu Pai, Gongshu Jia, and the Imperial Academy are completely different.

You only need to learn these things to quickly improve your strength in a short period of time, and the longer the time, the more your strength will be enhanced. These schools of thought are forces that can change the world. It can make a small country with a small land and population erupt into a power that is more powerful than a large country with several times the land and population.

The royal family protects this knowledge very strictly. There are no books on this knowledge even in the academy. If you want to learn it, except for the inheritance of some people's families, the only places where you can learn it are the Daqianjiao Supervisor and the Royal Academy.

The royal family was completely different from those classics such as Confucianism, Legalism, and Taoism, and there were almost no restrictions or thresholds. They even brought out some theories that dumb down the people and weaken the people's ideas.

These theories have been eliminated by the royal family in Daqian, but they are very attractive to small and foreign countries. Most of the leaders of these small countries did not think about enlightening the people's wisdom, but chose to fool the people to stabilize themselves and their descendants as leaders.

These country leaders know that this approach is not conducive to improving the country's strength, but they still choose it. This is also good news for Daqian, which limits the improvement of those countries.

Academic classics such as Confucianism, Legalism, Taoism, and famous scholars are very good. Listening to them can make people's eyes light up, and they may even feel that this is their lifelong pursuit. However, theory is theory, and it is extremely difficult to turn it into practice.

To put it simply, this kind of liberal arts-oriented philosophy can govern a country, but a strong country needs science. Otherwise, it will end up being the Republic of China in real history, with all kinds of so-called masters, but the national power is completely weak. Others have already developed airplanes and cannons, but the Republic of China cannot even build a bicycle.

The royal family's positioning of the academy is very clear. The country can be governed by the scholars of the academy, but the power of the country lies elsewhere.

The arrival of the Chinese envoys from Ryukyu and Great Britain allowed the royal family to make some improvements to the academy system. At the same time, this also caused other countries to send Chinese envoys to study.

-

The emergence of envoys to China was the first large-scale cultural exchange in human history, and it was also a large-scale expansion of ancient Chinese civilization into China. This large-scale cultural exchange also laid the foundation for the later Chinese cultural circle. Through sending Chinese envoys, other small countries in China have been profoundly influenced by Chinese culture.

In the following more than a thousand years of history, the sense of cultural identity allowed more and more vassal states to join the big family of China. ——"The Development of Civilization—Envoys to China"
