There is no difference in teaching
Although the country of Essay is just an island, there are a large number of coal mines hidden underground!
As for those indigenous people, they were still in the era of tribal alliances, and the so-called kings were just leaders elected by several tribes.
They have difficulty eating enough, so how can they have the ability to start a mining department? They have to send someone to help themselves?
Zhu Qizhen had already started to think about it in his mind, and then asked: "Where are you?"
Shi Heng replied: "Just outside the hall, waiting for the summons!"
"Come in!"
One in front and the other behind, the two came to the hall and knelt down and bowed.
Zhu Qizhen looked at him and found that the appearance of this Ekima Yi was obviously different from that of the people in the Central Plains. He had a short stature, light black skin, and a messy hair and beard, which was indeed a bit similar to shrimps and beards.
The one in front is Ainu, who is murmured and can't understand what he is saying, but it is definitely not Japanese.
Immediately afterwards, the man behind said in broken Chinese: "Greetings to His Majesty the Emperor of Ming Dynasty!"
Zhu Qizhen nodded, thinking that the one behind him was a prince or something, and it turned out to be an interpreter.
"Give a seat to a flat body!"
The two saluted again, and Ainu held something unknown and started to mumble again.
The one behind began to interpret simultaneously. It turned out to be a gift from someone, a "exquisite" seal leather coat.
Huai'en took the leather jacket and presented it to the imperial court. Zhu Qizhen took a look and found that the workmanship was really... rough!
It is basically an original thing, with deer tendons used. It can be seen that the living conditions of this tribe are still very backward, roughly the same as the Eskimos I saw in the documentary.
He put away his leather jacket and said, "Very good, I like it very much!"
After hearing this, Ainu was very happy and talked a lot.
After listening for a while, Zhu Qizhen felt a big head, and said, "I have to take care of the matter of Japan bullying you, don't worry!"
The translator conveyed this sentence, and Ainu immediately smiled and said something loudly. Although he couldn't understand, he could tell that he should be thanking him.
Zhu Qizhen waved his hand and said, "I am grateful to the world in the Ming Dynasty. I will definitely not stand by and watch the experience of the Emirate Kingdom. For specific matters, I will send someone to discuss with you. Huai'en, take them to the Honglu Temple!"
"yes!"
Huai'en agreed and then took the two of them away.
Zhu Qizhen originally wanted to chat with Ainu for a few more words, but he had to bring an interpreter and pass on the message back and forth, which was really troublesome.
Seeing that the two of them had left, Shi Heng asked, "Your Majesty has agreed?"
"What about that?"
"otherwise……"
Shi Heng hesitated for a moment and asked again: "Don't the emperor plan to ask them for some military expenses?"
Zhu Qizhen:...
Seeing this, Shi Heng quickly changed his words: "I just asked casually, after all, my country is not short of them..."
"Who said there is no shortage?"
Zhu Qizhen immediately said, "I didn't say no!"
Shi Heng held it in for a long time and said: "The emperor is wise!"
Zhu Qizhen asked again: "Is there any map of the Emirate Kingdom?"
Shi Heng looked embarrassed and shook his head.
Zhu Qizhen spread out a piece of paper, picked up a pen, and roughly drew it.
"Do you know how many of them are there just now?"
"There are roughly... tens of thousands of people!"
"It's a waste of only tens of thousands of people in such a big place!"
Zhu Qizhen circled the narrow area in the south and said, "Their residence is roughly here, which accounts for less than one-tenth of the entire Eagle. Other places are extremely cold places, or high mountains and ridges, and they are simply unparalleled lands."
Shi Heng was a little puzzled. What did the emperor mean when he said these things?
"I can send troops to protect them, but this island will encircle the places where the Ekima people live, and other places will be returned to the Ming Dynasty in the future!"
Shi Heng asked, "Since it is an extremely cold place, what are we going to do?"
Zhu Qizhen said: "Do nothing for the time being. When you free up your hands in the future, make further plans."
Shi Heng had no choice but to nod and said, "I understand, don't worry, Your Majesty!"
Zhu Qizhen was in a good mood and had an island for no reason. Although the conditions were bad for the time being, there was no hurry now, so take it slowly.
When the industry is developed and the population increases sharply, sooner or later, we will develop it.
The island of Essay is buried with rich coal mines and a large number of volcanic activities. Hot springs are everywhere, making it a good place for tourism.
"As for that Feiyu or something, let me tell them that the Ekima Kingdom has become a vassal state of the Ming Dynasty. If they dare to have any wrong ideas, be careful that I will send troops to destroy them!"
Shi Heng bowed and said, "I understand!"
Zhu Qizhen seemed to think of something, picked up a pen, drew a thread on the north side of the Hokkien Kingdom, and said, "You send another ship to continue north from the Hokkien Kingdom. There should be a big island over there called Sakhalin Island. When I personally conquered the northern part of the Mobei region, three guards were set up in the northern border. The easternmost point was Mohe Guard, led by Julu Hou. This Sakhalin Island is only a strait from the Mohe Guard."
Shi Heng remembered everything in his heart and said, "Is the emperor planning to include this island in the territory of the Ming Dynasty?"
"You send someone to see first. If there are indigenous people, keep their land as much as possible. As for those places without people, they will naturally be included in the Ming Dynasty."
Shi Heng nodded and said, "I have recorded it!"
"In addition, go to the Ministry of Rites to find Kuang Ye and tell him that I am planning to open academies in Japan, Hokkien and other places to teach locals to read and recognize words. As the saying goes, there is no difference in teaching, and it is not a bad thing to promote education. Let the Ministry of Rites come forward to recruit some scholars and go out to sea with you at that time."
Shi Heng scratched his head and said, "The wind and waves on the sea are big, those weak scholars... No, those scholars are very precious, so I am afraid they can't stand the wind and waves on the sea..."
Zhu Qizhen waved his hand and said, "You don't have to worry about this. Those who are willing to go will naturally overcome difficulties. Those who are unwilling to go will not matter. I will not force it. But I have something to say first. Anyone who goes to sea to promote education and has been in full three years can enter the Hanlin Academy after returning to China. If you don't want to come back, it doesn't matter. When the court opens a government office and selects officials in the local area, they will be the first candidate."
Shi Heng nodded secretly. Such a reward is already very good. I believe there will be many people willing to go out and try it out.
People die for money, birds die for food, and scholars are no exception. The only thing they are looking for is fame and fortune.
Those who can enter the Hanlin Academy are usually the first and second grade Jinshi, and they cannot even enter the third grade.
Such people will be the vital ministers of the court in the future.
As for staying in a place, it is equivalent to having an additional promotion channel.
No matter how you look at the court, you won’t lose money.
In this way, there is no need to worry about no one going.
Shi Heng nodded and bowed: "The emperor has thought it through thoroughly, and I have received the teachings."
