Malacca is not the Ming Dynasty, but it is indeed the territory of the Ming Dynasty.
My younger brother Karl has no way of understanding this. Zhang Liang knows that this kind of thinking of the Ming people is wrong. However, the court seems to be intentionally or unintentionally adding fuel to the flames, leading to the phenomenon of 'I would rather have a bed in China than overseas. For a house, there is a saying that 'it is better to have three feet of land locally than to have a large overseas farm'.
Not only that, the court seems to be promoting the importance of ancestral land. The land previously distributed by the court to the people of the Ming Dynasty will no longer be taken back, but will be handed over to people of the same clan for cultivation. It belongs to the deceased and cannot be destroyed.
In other words, no matter how poorly an overseas person fares, he still has the opportunity to return to his homeland, and being buried in his ancestral graves after death is the ultimate pursuit of every overseas person.
Zhang Liang understood that this was the efforts of the Secretary of the Ming Dynasty.
What does a secretary supervisor do?
His first task is to assist the emperor in dealing with various problems that occur in the country.
The second point is publicity!
More than 70% of the large-scale newspapers in the Ming Dynasty were all under the control of the Secretary Supervisor... The newspapers that were not under the control of the Secretary Supervisor were only various "Business News" and poetry newspapers.
These things were not obtained by His Majesty the Emperor through force, but because these newspapers were paid for by Queen Qian.
No individual in the entire Ming Dynasty had more money than Queen Qian. Under this premise, even if there were people who were unwilling to have all news channels controlled by the emperor, they angrily founded a newspaper to express their truth. The newspapers founded by Queen Qian would often be bankrupted and closed down after being run for a short period of time. Even some people with very tough scalps would often end up betrayed by Queen Qian's money offensive.
As long as newspapers are really spread out, it will not matter whether what is said in the newspapers is correct or not for the people who have difficulty in having other news channels. They will get the news anyway.
Little Descartes likes newspapers very much. He likes all kinds of newspapers. However, the newspapers in Malacca are often newspapers half a year ago. Even so, little Descartes still reads them with fascination. .
"Teacher, when the workers were building the Yellow River embankment, they dug up the fossilized skeleton of an elephant. Its tusks were actually two meters long?"
Zhang Liang looked at Descartes and smiled and said: "Yushan Academy is planning to establish an archeology major. After you go to Yushan Academy, you can go there and listen to some lectures by teachers who are knowledgeable about antiquities. It should be very interesting."
" Teacher, in order to repair Guangzhou's sewers, Yang Xiong, the prefect of Guangzhou, dug holes in the entire city and broke through two sections of the city wall. What do you think?"
"He is very courageous. The city wall is very important to him. It has a very powerful protective function for urban residents. Although the Ming Dynasty's army no longer relies on city walls to hold its positions, they are more focused on annihilating invading enemies in sparsely populated areas and settling wars outside the territory.To deal with the enemy, his behavior was still too advanced.
It will attract a lot of scolding.
However, that guy doesn’t care about others scolding him. "
"Teacher, the reason why the people are opposed to it means that there must be many inappropriate things when he was renovating the city. Why does he insist on going his own way? "
Zhang Liang thought for a while and said: "Silly boy, because there is no policy that everyone agrees with in this world. For an official, the first thing he has to consider is the majority of people. The interests of a small group of people will be compensated. If that group of people does not recognize the compensation, then it will have to be driven by force. ”
“It’s not fair. ”
Zhang Liang touched Descartes’ head and said: “There is no absolute fairness in this world. Many times, the so-called fairness is actually the compromise between the strong and the weak. The value of the government’s existence is The goal is to maintain the universality of this compromise and ensure that it can be implemented and become the consensus of everyone. "
Little Descartes thought about it and said: "It is not a good thing for the strong to have everything. ”
Zhang Liang smiled and said: “The reason why our Majesty led us to overthrow the decadent Zhu Ming Dynasty is because the world is full of injustice. The princes and nobles did not produce, but took away the absolute wealth.” With most of the harvest, the princes and nobles can live a life of luxury and luxury, while most of the poor people have had a large part of their harvest taken away, so they can only live a poor life, sometimes without enough food and clothing. , creating countless tragedies. ”
“Control the monopoly of the upper class, limit the greed of the strong, enhance the social activity of the people at the bottom, and strive to create a middle class. When the entire social class structure of the Ming Dynasty changed from an equilateral triangle to a spindle shape , is it a stable society? "
Zhang Liang was stunned for a moment after hearing Descartes' words, nodded and said: "Your words are very meaningful. "
Little Descartes shook the newspaper and said: "This is not what I said, it was said by a gentleman named Gu Yanwu in the newspaper. "
Zhang Liang lay back down again and said lazily: "If you like his class, you can attend it after you arrive at Yushan Academy. However, you have to be careful. This gentleman has a bad temper. Sometimes they use sticks to chase people away.
As a child, it is not good for your growth to read more about the second page of the newspaper and less about things related to politics. "
"Why? ”
“Because politics is not a good thing no matter where it is. What you can see is the result of everyone’s mutual compromise. There are no purely good things or purely bad things. They are all I'll just let you know after I've made the decision.
Things after the second edition will be very interesting. You can find out whether Ming Dynasty’s society is healthy from the people’s livelihood section, and you can also find out whether Ming Dynasty has made new discoveries from the new things section. You can You can also explore fromThe plate discovered new things that people had not discovered before..."
Zhang Liang kept selling his experience to his students. He was not prepared to have any reservations about this child. For a smart For a child, he can distinguish what is wholehearted and what is evil.
After the battleship Huashan left Malacca, the people on the ship seemed to have entered a new stage.
< p>The captain has changed into a snow-white military uniform, the officers on the ship have also changed into their own uniforms, and even the sailors have taken off their dirty work clothes and put on their own clothes. < p>The cannons on the deck have been wrapped in oilcloth by the sailors, and the sailors' guns have disappeared. The bottom of the ship was cleaned and repainted in Malacca, and even the flags on the warships were replaced with brand new ones. < /p>When the warship passed Siam, people on the shore brought a large amount of supplies. Descartes discovered wine in the supplies for the first time. You must know that in Europe, outside of Malacca, he I have never seen this thing before.
Mr. Descartes doesn’t like Daming’s spirits. He prefers mellow and mild rice wine. This kind of wine is sweet and helpful for his sleep.
< p>On the blue sea, some people were drunk, including Zhang Liang. Seeing that his teacher had given up his usual gentleness and elegance, and began to become crazy and bold, Descartes asked his grandfather in confusion < /p>“This is the first time I discovered that the teacher has such a side. "
Mr. Descartes sighed slightly and said: "My child, if you can behave like this when you arrive in the Mediterranean in the future, I will be very pleased. "
Little Descartes shook his head and said: "Grandpa, I don't like Europe. "
Mr. Descartes said: "Since you don't like it, why don't you shape him into what you like? "
Little Descartes said: "You can't do that, many people will die, especially many poor people. ”
Mr. Descartes nodded sadly, picked up the warm rice wine again and drank it in one gulp.
Except for Mr. Descartes who was not so happy, those who followed Descartes Mr. Ming people from Europe are very happy. They have changed into the blue robes unique to Ming scholars as the local customs do. Many of them have been learning the Ming language for a while.

However, learning the Ming language is very difficult. Fortunately, these people are very talented in learning this kind of thing, so this At the banquet, everyone could communicate in simple Ming language.
Zhang Liang and his group were a little excited because of their fear of being close to home, but these scholars were extremely tolerant and fully understanding. Zhang Liang and theseA person's mood, and said that this is a true expression of one's feelings and a person's instinctive reaction.
Even when passing through Annan, local officials sent some simple Ming meals, and they ate them with gusto. No one expressed any food problems, and more people were asking the Ming people Please tell me about dining etiquette here.
When the iconic tall lighthouse of Guangzhou Bay appeared in sight, everyone on the ship began to cheer. Arriving here meant that the year-long sea journey had finally come to an end.
As the battleship slowly sailed into the harbor under the leadership of the barge, Descartes Jr. came to the bow, opened his arms and shouted: "I'm coming..."
Captain Lai Dingcheng got off the warship first and stood at the end of the trestle, greeting every guest on the ship with a smile on his face.
And a Honglu Temple official wearing a green robe and a mustache was even more smiling.
Zhang Liang accompanied Mr. Descartes to get off the boat first. Before he could introduce him, the Honglu Temple official raised his hands and saluted: "The Ming Dynasty welcomes Mr. Descartes!"
Descartes Looking at the busy crowd on the pier, he also bent down and saluted: "I have come to a great country."
The official of Honglu Temple smiled and said: "Although the Ming Dynasty is great, the arrival of Mr. The ancient country shines with new light."
After a few words of greeting, Mr. Descartes said to the officials of Honglu Temple: "Do we have autonomy?"
Honglu Temple. The official smiled and said: "You are the most distinguished guest of Ming Dynasty. Here, just like you are in France, we will wholeheartedly consider any request you make and work hard to create all conditions for you, sir, and your entourage."
Descartes smiled and said: "I heard that His Majesty the Emperor is in Guangzhou now. I wonder if I will have the honor to meet His Majesty the Emperor."
The official smiled and said: "Your Majesty heard that Mr. When I came to Da Ming, I was eager to see you. I just heard that your husband was tired from the journey, so you specially ordered me to come and welcome you to the hotel to rest. When your husband is well, your majesty will prepare a sumptuous banquet for him to wash away his dust. "
Descartes smiled and said: "Very good, this finally gives my cold heart a little warmth."
