People in the Ming Dynasty are lawless

Chapter 420 Completely conquered the first country in Indochina! Start colonization! !

Lan Yu received the news from Wang Bi that Majapahit had conquered all, and did not hide it after that.

Instead, they directly arranged for the Ming army to start recruiting outstanding talents from various places to rule the entire Sanviqi and Majapayi. Although Sanviqi and Majapayi are not very important to the Ming Dynasty now, they are not that important.

After all, this is just a fortress outside Indochina that controls the Strait of Malacca.

But this represents the first time that the Ming Dynasty has sent troops to conquer a country or a region. To conquer a region, it needs to make some front-end actions to let all Xiang countries know what Ming Dynasty's attitude towards these colonies is now.

Although after conquering Japan, Ming Dynasty actually established a so-called colonial committee there, but it was not particularly mature.

Especially after the conquest of Japan, the colonial committee did not do a very good job of appeasing those things that were ultimately aimed at digging silver and gold mines.

Even because of the hatred against the Japanese little devils, most of the measures taken by the Ming army were still suppression.

To be honest, Lan Yu didn't feel anything was wrong. After all, the burning, killing and looting caused by the little Japanese devils in the southeast coastal areas did not make the Ming Dynasty have any good impression of them.

This kind of ethnic killing will be killed, and it doesn't matter to Lan Yu.

Therefore, in response to this situation, Wang Bi did a lot of propaganda work in this area, and the people there finally understood how much harm these external forces had done to Majapahit.

Why must we support him?

If this explanation is not done well, then these countries on the Indochina Peninsula may not cooperate well with Ming Dynasty.

As expected, Majapahit has not eliminated these foreign relatives' forces with bloody swords. Now Majapahit is very disgusted with the foreign relatives' forces themselves.

Instead, Wang Bi was asked to lead the Ming army and try his best to appease the entire Majapahit.

According to Lan Yu's idea, we still have to support the reform measures of the new king of Sanviqi, support the current Royevarman as the king of the entire Sanviqi and Majapahit, and then let Royevarman follow the king's instructions. The New Deal reforms continued to be implemented.

Royevarman was a military general. Although he followed two kings at a young age, he also served as the captain of the guard for the first king. The second king made an exception and promoted him to the commander of the guard army, controlling the entire three kings. Most of Fozzie's elite forces.

Going overseas to do business is equivalent to giving them fat meat. No country is willing to do this kind of thing.

So now all the people of Majapahit have joined under the wings of the Ming Dynasty. The Ming Dynasty also admitted that it can imitate the reform measures of the new King Sanviqi and carry out reforms in Majapahit.

Excavation of their gold and silver mines is a barren land in itself. The Indo-China Peninsula is different. Therefore, how to build Sanviqi and Majapahit into a model for the Ming Dynasty colonial area is an explanation for the entire Indochina Peninsula.

Even though she knew that Royevarman had rebelled against him before, Lan Yu knew that this guy was not a particularly good ruler.

Like other countries, they also implement closed oceans.

It's not that they don't want to do business with other countries, but that Chen Zuyi's pirate gang is so powerful that it has made the entire ocean a mess, and no one dares to go to sea to do business.

It is precisely because of this consideration that Lan Yu has not massacred the people of Sanviqi and Majapahit now.

Because of this, Sanviqi and Majapahit are relatively isolated and do not have much overseas trade.

Therefore, grain cultivation has become a very important pillar industry in both countries.

Just like the 40,000 elite army in his hands.

Their ethnic groups are similar, and the problems they face are similar.

But now there are so many countries in Southeast Asia, especially the Indochina Peninsula. According to Chen Han, he wants to develop them into the granary of the Ming Dynasty. They cannot just massacre the opponents there like they did with the Japanese devils.

Because they are a coastal country, their land is small and their food production is not high, so they rely on a wise national policy to make the people live a better life.

Both Sanviqi and Majapahit have one very big thing in common.

But he was rebellious. Like other officials, he thought that his interests had been destroyed by the king's New Deal reforms, so he chose to side with the opposition.

Although he did not directly participate in the confrontation with the king, he silently supported it, especially assisting the king in committing crimes and not sending troops to cooperate with the king. As a result, the king was besieged by the opposition forces, and in the end he had no choice but to commit suicide due to his broken faith.

This guilt will make Royavarman continue to carry forward the king's policy, which is a particularly good thing for both Srivijaya and Majapahit.

This is also a good thing for the recovery of the entire people.

The most important thing is that it is a good thing for Daming.

The Ming Dynasty is now a savior-like existence for the citizens of Sanviqi and Majapahit.

Because the Ming Dynasty eliminated all the opposition forces such as Sanviqi and Majapahit, especially the prime minister faction represented by Sanviqi, they were the most stubborn group among the old opponents. They opposed the king's New Deal reforms.

After Majapahit's relatives were all pushed aside, the opposition from both families went bankrupt, and those who were left were those who supported political reform.

The most powerful backer is the Ming Army. The Ming Army has now directly taken over all the military protection forces of Sanviqi and Majapahit. Even the officials they use to capture pirates and bandits must be trained by the Ming Army. Only then can you take up the post.

This resulted in the fact that Sanviqi and Majapahit had no military sovereignty.

Although Royavarman is in charge of affairs now, the power is still in the hands of the Ming army, but the people no longer object.

When Lan Yu thought of this, she actually admired Chen Han's strategy for them at the beginning.

Among the strategies Chen Han formulated for them, the first one was not to try to change the original ecology of a region.

The formation of an original ecological area for one to two thousand years ensures that the people here can survive relying on the land. If this nation can survive, it means that they have adapted. Trying to change it will only be counterproductive and can only be like a tiger. dog.

What we want is his territory, his people, and his resources, not a fight with them.

We must penetrate slowly and silently. We do not change their original ecology, but we change their culture, their beliefs, and their writing. This is the real colonization.

Unlike those colonists from the European powers, who only knew how to massacre the local indigenous people.

In the end, they did have a lot of gangster prisoners who lived in that place and eventually became independent. Why?
In addition to political reasons, the second reason is that their unpopular colonial method can only arouse boundless resistance.

What Chen Han has to do now is to moisten things quietly and invade with culture, and then he can do it. Finally, he can integrate this place into the territory of the Ming Dynasty. Now it can only be regarded as a colonial area.

After Lan Yu sorted out all the intelligence systems, he began to publicize on a large scale some of the policies of the Ming Dynasty towards the colonial areas.

At the same time, Chen Han's strategy for treating colonial areas must be publicized. The second is to immediately send a letter to Ming Dynasty to let Ming Dynasty know that Sanviqi and Majapahit have completely taken over, and what they need to do now is how to rule this area.

Lan Yu cannot stay with Sambuchi and Majapahit forever.

First of all, he is not a very suitable first choice person to be a civil servant.

The second is that he must have the entire navy in his hands, and he must sit in command of the navy.

Chen Han had actually already chosen who would rule these colonial areas - Xia Yuanji.

Although Xia Yuanji is only the chief envoy of Guangdong now, it is still possible to transfer him to Sanfuqi as the governor.

The apparent power still belonged to Royavarman, who was the king, but all government orders had to go through the governor.

The governor and the king cooperate with each other. What is called cooperation is actually the king's submission to the governor.

As for the governor, he intervened in the development of culture, which Xia Yuanji was very good at.

In particular, Xia Yuanji himself is a person with a financial background. He is very sensitive to numbers. He knows how to develop agriculture and business in Sanviqi and Majapahit.

Now that the Ming Navy has established so many trade centers in Indochina, one person is needed to coordinate them.

It is simply impossible to complete this task just by relying on big guys like Lan Yu.

So all he can think of now is to let Xia Yuanji lead the colonial area on the Indochina Peninsula.

Xia Yuanji had been in the position of Chief Minister of Guangdong for two years and had completely adapted to the climate in the south. He was eager to try the colonies in Indochina, and even wanted to go there personally to guide economic development.

After Xia Yuanji arrives there, he can coordinate and integrate the local Chinese forces, and then cultivate them to cultivate more indigenous people who understand the local conditions on the one hand, and the local culture on the other.

And let’s talk about the current capital.

After discussions between Prince Zhu Biao and Chen Han, a large number of private grain merchants began to collect grain and grass.

Although it was prepared for the northern war, it was actually a large food concentration.

The tax collection tasks in May and August have passed, and all the people have left are reserves for the coming year or excess grain to be sold.

Due to Chen Han's New Deal reforms, the people were relieved of various burdens and had more and more food reserves on hand.

How to dispose of this food is also a problem for the people.

Food cannot withstand the impact of rain or the test of time.

Without good food storage tools, the food in the hands of ordinary people can easily become moldy.

So why business is very important is clearly reflected in this point.

The food in the hands of the common people cannot last too long. Without modern food storage conditions, they have no way to store food. Without an institution like the government that has concentrated human and material resources to store food, the people have no way to store food. The food on the table can easily become a burden.

This is the real contradiction.

This is also the reason why food storage was so difficult in ancient times.

The people are now worried about how to store so much food on hand.

Coupled with the current grain reserve policy implemented by Chen Han, each region has a very large granary reserve. Without huge natural and man-made disasters for several consecutive years, grain prices will not fluctuate too much.

Now that prices have stabilized, ordinary people don't need to worry about the sky-high price of food blocking their way to survive when they can't afford food in the future.

Therefore, the people are more willing to sell this grain, and it becomes very important for grain merchants to go to villages and towns to collect grain.

The government does not have that many manpower to go to the countryside to purchase grain in person. Although this is a very good thing for both the people and the government, there is not that much labor force. Then you have to rely on these grain merchants.

Grain merchants became popular at this time, and many bolder people joined the acquisition industry.

Ordinary people can earn a good income by selling their excess grain to grain merchants. They can continue to buy daily necessities and continue to develop production, which promotes grain production.

After those grain merchants purchased the grain, although they themselves put in a little labor and had to pay a lot of transportation costs, they could still make a profit if they could sell it to the government at a high price.

The Baochao Duti Lifting Department, the Tax Inspection Department, and the local government jointly collected grain, and local grain merchants helped them purchase grain together, which also reduced their labor effort.

It's a win-win-win.

So under this situation, Chen Han's grain purchase plan was implemented very smoothly.

Especially after the cement pavement was laid, if you have an aerial map, you can see that on the territory of the Ming Dynasty at this time, a large number of grain trucks were walking on the road, and a large number of people and businessmen participated in the process of grain purchase and sale.

The grain industry has developed greatly, and the local business has also been completely developed because of the need to provide these people with food, drink, and toiletries.

The common people no longer reject business, and the status of businessmen has gradually improved because of this incident. However, there has not been any incident of a big businessman starting to hoard, and there has been no land enclosure movement by big businessmen.

Because it's not allowed.

One of Chen Han's reform measures stipulates that food must become the main artery of the country, and this policy is not allowed to be undermined.

In other words, land is not allowed to be bought and sold in large quantities, and the purchase and sale of land must be approved by the government.

Even if natural disasters and man-made disasters cause people to go bankrupt and have to buy and sell land to survive, this is not allowed.

But before this happens, you can apply for subsidies from the government, and the government will give special approval and will never let you starve to death.

This is the first benefit Chen Han gave to the people.

The following benefits, Chen Han, will also be launched one after another.

In a nutshell, Chen Han and His Highness the Crown Prince worked perfectly together this time, which not only provided enough food and grass for the Northern Expedition of King Yan Zhu Di in the north, but also promoted the development of the entire food trading market...
