Ming Dynasty: He was ordered to give lectures in prison, but Lao Zhu eavesdropped and made people nu

Chapter 168: Exploring colonization can solve the growing internal conflicts of the Ming Dynasty

This was a simple question. After hearing this, Zhu Ping thought there was a trap in it.

But facing Lin Che's questioning look, she still carefully answered:
"In our Ming Dynasty, if there is a river passing through two villages."

"During the irrigation season, someone will dig a canal, which will inevitably lead to a fight among the whole village."

"Two countries are competing for water resources, and war will probably break out in the future."

Lin Che nodded.

He gave Zhu Xi an affirmative look.

"That's right. If the Yangtze and Yellow Rivers of our Ming Dynasty were controlled by others."

"Even if we drive away the barbarians, don't even think about revival."

"Water resources are controlled by others. If you encounter a weak emperor, you may have to pay annual coins to other countries in exchange for water resources."

That is, like Egypt and the Sultanate on the Black Continent.

It is also a country with a long history and a glorious period.

But they have been fighting for a long time because of water issues.

As a result, too much national power was consumed in this regard.

In the end, they were all reduced to useless existences.

As for Daming, which has a complete Yangtze and Yellow Rivers and an almost complete Pearl River, it has never had any problems with water resources.

Most of them are thinking about how to control floods.

Lin Che took a sip of wine and made sure that Zhu Ping understood what he said.

and went on to say:
"Not just water, but other mineral resources as well."

"Because our Ming Dynasty has a vast territory, it is rich in various resources. In addition to gold and silver, because the mining time is too long, the mines that are easy to mine on the surface are on the verge of exhaustion, causing a silver shortage problem."

"In other aspects of minerals, there is absolutely no risk of being controlled by humans."

Zhu Ping heard the word gold and silver.

The look of joy couldn't help but jump to the brows.

Although the Ming Dynasty was lacking in this aspect, there was no shortage of Japanese slaves!
Thanks to Mr. Lin for drawing the map of mountains of gold and silver.

When Lin Che saw Zhu Ming, she suddenly became inexplicably happy.

Although he felt that this kid was a bit strange, he didn't ask any more questions.

Instead, he continued teaching and said:

"Precisely because our country has a vast territory, the climate and terrain are also diverse."

"Basically, most of the terrain and climate in the world can be found similar on the Ming Dynasty territory."

"If the Ming Dynasty can build powerful naval warships and expand its territory overseas, the people of the Ming Dynasty can also adapt to the overseas environment."

The biggest problem in overseas colonization is the casualties caused by acclimatization.

This ratio is higher than those killed by local indigenous people.

However, Ming Dynasty did not have this problem.

No matter where you open up territory, you just need to find the place with the corresponding climate in the Ming Dynasty.

Then, we will arrange immigration from the Central Plains.

The death rate due to acclimatization will be much lower than that of the disorderly immigration of European barbarians.

For the first time, Zhu Xi clearly realized that there are so many benefits to a vast country.

This matter was in his previous knowledge.

The Ming Dynasty was vast and sparsely populated, with a large population. It could mobilize many soldiers for war and paid a lot of taxes on weekdays.

Things like mountains and rivers.

It was as if it was a matter of course that he must appear in Ming Dynasty.

After Lin Che gave a profound explanation.

Only then did Zhu Xi realize that there was nothing that existed for granted.

Now every inch of the mountains and rivers of the Ming Dynasty.

These are the places of survival that the ancestors of China have fought for for future generations with their blood.

Thinking of this.

Zhu Xi seemed to have figured out something important.He considered his words and carefully asked Lin Che:
"Sir, I think I roughly understand what you mean by teaching me this lesson."

"Is it because the ancestors of China took into their own hands all the nearby land where people can survive?"

"We, the younger generations, should inherit the pioneering spirit of our ancestors and rely on sailing to fight for more living space for the people of the Ming Dynasty in the New World you mentioned and other places suitable for survival."

The current population of Ming Dynasty is about 6000 million.

For the feudal dynasty, which was still in the small-scale peasant economy and high-yielding crops had not yet been promoted.

The population is actually a bit too high.

This is also the reason why more and more people are selling themselves into slavery today.

After all, the total amount of land is fixed.

This means that the greater the population of Ming Dynasty, the less land each person can be allocated.

Although I can promote intensive farming to the Ming Dynasty.

However, the yield that intensive farming can increase is actually limited.

There are too few acres of land under my own name. No matter how much sweat I put in the fields, it is just enough to fill my own stomach.

If you encounter a minor illness or disaster, you have no ability to resist risks.

Zhu Xi once heard his father lament the hardship of people's livelihood.

There is only one thought in mind.

That is to kill a few landowners and wealthy households who are unkind to their wealth in years of famine.

Distribute their food fields to the poor to help them survive the disaster years.

But at that time, Zhu Yuanzhang asked, what should we do if the disasters continued and the rich families were all killed?
Zhu Xi was speechless at that time and racked his brains but couldn't come up with an answer.

However, after listening to Lin Che’s lecture today on the importance of mountains and rivers.

Instead, he drew parallels and thought of a solution to the problem of increasing population and insufficient land.

That was the pioneering colonization that Lin Che talked about.

Only in this way can the poor people of Ming Dynasty be saved.

We will not end up selling our sons and daughters to survive in a disaster year.

"Your kid's understanding has improved!"

Lin Che put down the chicken drumstick in her hand and glanced at Zhu Xi in surprise.

From the mountains and rivers of China, we can think of colonial development as a way to solve the problem of population increase.

This kid's thinking ability has indeed improved a lot.

If the Ming Dynasty could carry out orderly colonization and continue to export population.

Various internal conflicts caused by too few average resources will be eliminated invisible.

After praising Zhu Xi, Lin Che continued her lecture:

"In today's world, the only thing we can do is continue to expand outward and seize more resource wealth, more minerals and land."

"Only then can we, the Chinese people, gain a greater living space."

"The Japanese country has already realized the truth behind this."

"The territory of their own country is narrow and the products are poor. If they want to survive, they come to our Ming Dynasty to rob and plunder crazily."

Because the Japanese pirates were too small, they were a nuisance to the Ming Dynasty.

Although it has caused a lot of trouble to ordinary people along the coast.

But in the eyes of the imperial court, the danger was similar to that of mountain bandits everywhere.

In addition, vision is limited by the times.

Almost all civil and military officials in the Ming Dynasty did not realize that the plunder of Japanese pirates was also a part of colonization.

The barbarians of Europa do this on the American continent.

They first used robbery and slowly bled the Indians.

When the time is right, they will attack the tribe they are targeting, seize their land, and enslave their people.

The biggest difference between the Japanese slaves and those European barbarians.

It's just that they don't have the ability to use force to gain a firm foothold in the Ming Dynasty.
