"At the beginning of China, it was only the land of Jiuzhou. How many counties are there in the world? How many people are there?" Uncle Gao Shilian sighed and said slowly. "Jiuzhou is only the land of several counties in the Central Plains. During the Qin Dynasty, it was divided into 36 counties and later increased to 64 counties. In the second year of Yuanshi of Emperor Ping of the Western Han Dynasty, there were 103 counties and states, which governed counties, marquis states, towns, roads and other county-level political districts. It increased several times compared to the Qin Dynasty. During the previous dynasty, there were 190 counties, with a wide territory that was better than the Han Dynasty and far better than the Qin..."

"The ancient saying goes, "All the kings under the sky are kings; all the kings and ministers are kings. This is the truth that our Chinese nation has practiced since ancient times. However, the vastness of the world cannot be done by one generation. Therefore, over the past thousand years, our Chinese sages have worked hard to expand the territory of China, educate the people, and let the people of the world receive the kindness of the Chinese sages... Therefore, although the Han territory is even greater than that of Qin, the world is all subdued, and the foreign races regard it as Han people. By the previous dynasty, the territory was even more serious. However, who would not be proud of the people in the previous dynasty and be proud of their identity? Even those foreign races are willing to serve our Chinese..."

My uncle said very slowly, and every sentence seemed to have to be thought about for a long time, but it made the expressions of the people in the hall more and more serious, ashamed, suddenly, and excited.

"... I have read the books of sages for a long time, but I also know the reason why things change easily." My uncle picked up the teacup and took a sip, but did not look at everyone present. "In ancient times, was there a cotton cloth to protect the cold? Is there a straight road to unblock the bloodline of the empire? In order for the people to avoid disasters, the soldiers of the empire even ignored their own lives and wanted to save the lives of the people. These are all changes, but they have brought great benefits to China. Although I am far away in the miasma, I can see clearly."

"Can you be better than me, an old man with dizzy eyes?" At this point, my uncle sighed deeply, lowered his eyebrows and closed his eyes and stopped talking.

Kong Yingda took a deep breath, stood up, straightened his clothes, clasped his sleeves, held his head and hat, and then bowed respectfully to his uncle. "The poem: Zhou Nan, Guan Ju Preface: Preface: Beautify education and change customs; "Book of Rites: Sutra" says: Therefore, the education of etiquette is subtle, and its stopping evil is not in shape... The meaning of teaching is to teach people not to know, but to care about their shortcomings, and to help them to do what they do to others. It is to let the people know the old things, to help them get good and save their losses. It can make the people know the four seasons of cold and heat, to make the scholars know the literature and history, to make the merchants know the silk and wealth, to turn fortunes, to make the craftsman know the construction and to set up pillars...all the teachings are the achievements of teaching."

"The character "Craft" follows the two people, like the shapes of the two people who are inverted, one is positive and one is reversed to show change. The name "Black" is "Craft" and "Craft" is "Craft" and "Craft" is "Craft" and "Craft" is "Craft" and "Craft" is "Craft" and "Craft" is "Craft" and "Craft" is "Craft" and "Craft" is "Craft" and "Craft" is also said, "Craft is "Craft" and "Craft is "Craft" and "Craft is "Craft" and "Craft is "Craft" and "Craft is "Craft" and "Craft is "Craft" and "Craft is "Craft" and "Craft is "Craft" and "Craft is "Craft" and "Craft is "Craft" and "Craft is "Craft" and "Craft is "Craft" and "Craft is "Craft" and "Craft is "Craft" and "Craft is "Craft" and "Craft is "Craft is "Craft" and "Craft is "Craft is "Craft" and "Craft is "Craft is "Craft" and "Craft is "Craft is "Craft is "Craft is the name of the old form". "Lüshi Chunqiu·Chapin" also says that it changes according to the times."

"The transformation can transform the mind, transform the mind, transform the governance... The meaning refers to change, can change the mind, and can change the strategy of governance... The two words are combined to be called education. We scholars should understand the truth when reading books, but many things are only wise in books but not the cause. Therefore, the world has changed, and among them, there are the mistakes of scholars who cannot transform the people."

"From the time of the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors, it is the responsibility of the wise to educate all the people. There is no difference in teaching, and it is also the words of our Confucians and sages." Kong Yingda's literary talent is indeed quite good, and he has read a lot of books, so he can be so well-written.

His words can even select these civil officials who love classical Chinese. What he said is also education, using ancient sages and countries to connect the current Chinese Empire and subjects, and giving a very admirable speech.

The old guy's ideas are not much different from mine, but he is able to extract what is suitable for the current and current situation from the sentences of ancient sages to express his opinions and opinions.

On this point, I am far from being a match for being practical. I admire this old man very much. He is a great scholar who is a great scholar who regards all the scholars of the world as his teacher and is willing to be his disciple. His words can make the scholars of the world stand out and follow his wishes.

Thinking about the events of the Royal Academy back then, it was because of his words that thousands of students came from all over the world and submitted to the academy, and that was the great scholar who was well-known to the world.

Now, he stood on my side and used his wisdom and knowledge to convince these important civil and military officials. I think what he followed and what he was careful to do was not the benefit in writing, but the benefit of the world, and the righteousness of the nation.

"...Your Majesty, I am confused. Please explain it to you." After saying that, Kong Yingda turned around and bowed to me with a deep look on his face.

"You just say that if I can understand it, I should explain it to you." I nodded and said.

"Your Majesty, my confusion is, how can your Majesty make the people leave their hometowns and travel across the ocean? I wonder if it is to induce them with profit or to suppress them with power?" Kong Yingda looked at me with a calm face and asked.

Outside the transparent and clear glass window, the spring rain seemed more and more despicable, warm and cool, annoying, but full of poetry and lingering. I looked at the rain outside, covering the world with a hazy spring rain, and I remained silent for a long time.

All the ministers' eyes fell on my face, as if they wanted to see a trace of strangeness from their expressions, or they saw my thoughts.

After watching for a long time, until the corners of my eyes became sore and my eyes were sore. I blinked, withdrew my gaze and looked at the clear and transparent teacup in front of me. "The first is to use the benefit to induce the people to leave the people they have never left for thousands of years, flew thousands of miles away, cross the ocean, and go to a barbaric land that requires their hands to create. The other is like the strategies put forward by Emperor Wu of Han, or countless previous dynasties, who ordered people to move them with their will."

"The predecessor strategy takes a long time, and it cannot be achieved in thirty or fifty years. Then, with the power of our court, one can be achieved overnight. However, this strategy will not only make the people disconnect from the court, but also make our China and the previous dynasty do nothing…"

The second strategy was used by many dynasties. For example, when Qin Shihuang established the capital of Xianyang, it also became a large number of people to enter the capital. During the Han Dynasty, in the second year of Yuanshuo, Emperor Wu of Han issued an imperial edict, and the world-famous hero Guo Jie was forced to flee to the end of the world. His final destination for his escape was Taiyuan, the important city in the north. In order to enrich the capital, Emperor Wu of Han ordered wealthy families with more than three million state-owned assets to move to Maoling to live.

During the Sui Dynasty, when Yang Guang moved the capital to Luoyang, he also drove wealthy businessmen from Guanzhong to go there to make Luoyang prosperous.

These are all based on orders and the will of the court. If you want to violate them, I am afraid that few people in the world have such courage. However, such will and such will will cause dissatisfaction to many people.

And our China naturally cannot be like those old feudal forces and strongly sturdy the will of the people. Therefore, although this move is very effective, it cannot be done.

If the first strategy is to let a farmer who is guarding a few acres of thin fields in his hometown and get a good life away from his hometown and travel thousands of miles away to survive, how much courage does these people need to pay? Therefore, it is necessary to persuade and influence for a long time, or even mobilize, rely on public opinion and words to attract these people. However, this method is both manpower and material resources, and it is not a false statement if it takes thirty or fifty years of hard work.

"So, I will only use the previous policy." Looking at these pairs of eyes with expectations or longing for answers, I solemnly and slowly gave my answer. "No matter how much time I spend, I will not force the people to do that thing that leaves my hometown."

"Your Majesty can think like this, it is a blessing for my Chinese nation for all ages." Wei Zheng stood up and first bowed to the ground. Then, more than 20 people in the hall bowed to the ground.

"You guys, please, I do this not only for the present, but also for the future." I stood up and raised my hands to help the many civil and military officials. After watching them get up, I continued to say. "If I did the right thing, then set it as a customization. The emperors and courts of later generations should follow it."

"If the world changes and the times change, it needs to be improved. It will be passed by the National Assembly and the cabinet can only implement it." I glanced at the important officials in the court in the hall and said solemnly.

"Don't worry, your Majesty, I will definitely record the words in the history of the classics to alert future generations and never make mistakes from previous generations again." All the ministers followed it.

The first strategy is easier said than done. The final result is that it is best to inform the soldiers of the Chinese Empire who stayed in central and southern Jiaozhi and Luzon, and tell them that if they are willing to stay in the local area and migrate their families, then each household will get ten hectares of land and will not impose any taxes on them within five years. In addition, the country will provide them with free housing, farm tools, and daily necessities.

In addition, the country will collect the food they grow, or sugarcane, at market prices. In addition, after five years, only half of the tax is required. If merchants do business in these places, then the tax will be reduced by half in the first five years. In the past five years, the tax will be only 80% of the Central Plains.

Although it only reduced by 20%, if you do a big business, you may be able to save more than 100,000 tax expenses at a glance.

These strategies, these means, and these ideas were discussed and formed in the meetings again and again, and were gradually complained about and recorded. This was just the beginning, or in other words, this was just the first step for the Chinese Empire to take outside the territory of China and the prototype of the colonial empire.

Moreover, it will lay a solid and good foundation for the future expansion of the Chinese Empire.
