Chapter 761 After the scholar-bureaucrat became an official in the West
Zou Zhongquan turned the church into a Confucian school here, and ordered children to go to school, encouraged farming and water conservancy, and was very busy every day.
For the Western nobles, this is a result they do not want to see, because it means they really want to lose their dominance here.
Of course, it would be useless for the Western nobles to not see it. Who made them defeated?
The civilian education that Zhu Youjiao began to vigorously run decades ago has played a great role now. A large number of scholars have been forced to be assigned to these local officials and then become local officials, so that they can also achieve political and cultural occupations in addition to military occupation.
It has become more prosperous in business as a result.
In particular, the foreign trade industry has become more prosperous with military victory.
"Recycling old clothes, old quilts, old pots, old basins at high prices..."
Because many serfs in Europe were rescued and began to become income workers and farmers one after another, the demand for various daily necessities such as clothes is very high.
This creates a business opportunity.
Many second-hand clothes and other daily necessities that were no longer worn by wealthy citizens in the Ming Dynasty would be taken away by special foreign trade companies. After simple processing, they would go to Europe to sell them as new products, thus making a lot of profits.
So much so that people often ride tricycles in many towns, streets and even in the countryside of the Ming Dynasty, shouting that they will recycle all kinds of second-hand goods.
Just like old clothes, shoes, socks, pots and pans were transferred to Europe.
The old industries of the Ming Dynasty were also gradually shifting to Europe.
Even the old system is moving to Europe.
Because the central court of the Ming Dynasty had some military restrictions on these places, such as only allowing them to have many guards and weapons, they did not have high requirements for their internal affairs and only required them to be transformed into Chinese civilization.
Therefore, among the vassal lords and officials appointed by Emperor Zhu Youxiao in these places, many people were dissatisfied with the current system of the court, and they were interested in taking this opportunity to restore the conservative and backward farming system before the Ming Dynasty in their newly-secretized and newly-appointed areas.
In a letter to the Luxembourg magistrate Shen Yongqi, the magistrate of Luxembourg, he wrote: "Since the court now allows officials to perform Han policies based on the local facts, the foolish brother decided to rebuild the Zhou ritual system here, respect Confucianism alone, and regard all the so-called technology as a kind of strange and lewd tricks, so as not to be distracted by people and not to distinguish between high and low, which will greatly damage ethics and make the people of Marseille have the virtue of loyalty, filial piety and shame!"
Zou Zhongquan, the magistrate of Marseille, also said in the letter: "My foolish brother has this intention. Now in the local area, the court has taken the initiative to lift the maritime ban in order to solve the people's poverty, supports the people to move overseas, and even supports the powerful and powerful to move overseas. Later, it is even more serious, allowing criminals to open up land overseas by atonement! As a result, there are too many unlucky people, and the gentry and landlords cannot lend money, and they cannot lend money to make profits in the year of disaster. The people are dissatisfied and leave their hometowns, resulting in the breakdown of the clan, the ethics are gone, and the way of respecting the elderly and filial piety is gone! Is this China?"
"My intention has been decided to implement a sea ban in the Marseille! And it is also necessary to restore the Taizu Road Initiative system in the Marseille area. In addition, I heard that the court has designated the Marseille and its surrounding areas as the land of the King of Qu, and the royal family Zhu Cilang has been named the first generation of the King of Qu, so I have planned to wait until the King of Qu arrives in the Marseille, and he suggests that he restore the original imperial examination system in the Kingdom of Qu and re-establish the Jinshi exam!"
Therefore, Zou Zhongquan also put forward a series of his own political ideas in his letter, and even wanted to influence Zhu Cijiong, who was enfeoffed here in the future.
Zhu Cilang is the nephew of Zhu Youxiao and the son of Zhu Youjian.
Because King Zhu Youjian of Xin actively cooperated with the system of advocating grace and was willing to give the land of Borneo that he had actively annexed to his descendants and establish himself as a country, Zhu Youjiao repaid his favor and transferred Zhu Cilang to southern France as the king of the kingdom, among which the capital was located in Marseille.
Zhu Cilang was different from his father Zhu Youjian. He advocated inaction and was tired of attacking. Therefore, after he took the vassal of the horse race, he adopted Zou Zhongquan's advice, adopted the strategy of banning the sea and carried out the imperial examinations. Of course, in order not to arouse the dissatisfaction of the central court, the sea ban implemented by the Kingdom of Qu only prohibited merchants from going to sea in the kingdom, but could not ban Ming merchants.
This forced the locals in Marseille to farm honestly and pay the land for Zhu Cixuan, and not go to sea at will.
This was conducive to the restoration of production in the early days when Zhu Cilang was in the vassal of Qu Kingdom.
Many serfs who had just recovered from their freedom were willing to farm only, rather than being taken away by the nobles and working hard in factories.
"Let all priests and priests go to cultivate land and farm, and study natural sciences, but they are just some strange tricks and tricks, and they are just the ultimate skills of bad people's minds. Don't study them anymore, just cultivate land and farm, and support yourself!"
With Zhu Cixuan's support, Zou Zhongquan became even more unscrupulous and began to prevent local scholars in the Marseille area from studying natural sciences. He only asked them to reclaim land and become farmers. He even ordered the destruction of the experimental instruments of these scholars and burn their data.
Zhu Youxiao was naturally aware of the conservative strategy of the literati and literati such as Zou Zhongquan in the Marseille industry, but he was too lazy to care. He only laughed after the Jinyiwei reported these things:
"The problem of only thinking about the local owners cannot be changed, and they only want the people under his control to deal with land for the rest of their lives, but this is impossible after all. When there are too many people and too few land, they will taste the bitter fruit! At that time, I am afraid that the central court will have to quell the rebellion for them."
"Your Majesty is right. They are still wishful thinking in doing this. It is only now that it will help Europe restore people's livelihood and return to the state before the war! However, this is also good. In the future, the entire global economic structure will be centered on the Ming Dynasty for a long time. However, Europe and other places can only be at the downstream of the entire chain of interests and can only obtain benefits by producing the most basic raw materials."
Zhang Huangyan, who has a profound understanding of the global future economic layout, said at this time.
"As long as the local areas directly ruled by the central court do not do this, the local areas should still adhere to the principle of maximizing national interests and maximizing producer interests, continue to develop science and technology, promote civilian education, and prevent some people from turning the local area into a large manor, and carry out conservative strategies to fool the people and the king, which will help you make money and benefit yourself!"
Zhu Youxiao said that.
...
"Your Majesty is already old. Even if he insists on the idea of promoting the society and insists on being the public, he will not last long. If he wants to make our Ming Dynasty homeland like a foreign vassal in the future, he will return to the ancestral system and establish a country with Confucianism, he should be careful of the eldest son of the emperor and the fifth son of the emperor becoming the crown prince."
As Zhu Youxiao was worried, in the Ming Dynasty, there were indeed many old gentry who had not completely given up overturning the existing system of the Ming Dynasty and were determined to return to the era when the people of the world were slaves to kings and literati.
Therefore, Huan Lu Rujie, a fellow villager from Daye, Huguang, mentioned this matter to his friend Chen Wei.
