People leave their hometown and are humble?

In fact, Xu Qi didn't care at all. What would those people encounter after leaving their hometowns? They were just promoted to common people, so what did they have to do with him?

But it does have something to do. The tenant farmers are running away! The rent of land is declining!

We have to find a way to keep all those people. Otherwise, if they all leave, who will plant the land? Who will do the work?

Why do they leave?

"God, look, in recent years, those newspapers have always written about whom and who are from other families. How did they make it overseas? Even the wise and virtuous people have become diligent overseas. And the government has sent them wives. You said, how could this government be so confusing? The simple heart of the people was bewitched by those articles, and they abandoned their ancestors' temples and went overseas. How could this be done by good people? Over time, if the people were allowed to move out of the sea on their own, I, the Ming Dynasty, would probably not be able to serve as a soldier or a farmer! Moreover, the people who are in the barbarian land will definitely be influenced by the barbarian customs and will become barbarians. The Chinese etiquette will no longer be restored!"

In the mouths of scholars, at the beginning, people didn’t say anything like “people run away, no one planted the land” or “I’m losing a lot, the land rent has been reduced”, but rather words that worry about the country and the people and think about others. This kind of speech is high-sounding and righteous.

As for not caring about state affairs and people, I am afraid that only they themselves know.

"Why don't the divine people write an article and write about the dangers of overseas? It's also a warning to the ignorant people."

"Zi Yi, my brother, what he said is so true! If he does not do this, he will not be able to alert the world!"

Li Yu said in a sigh.

"Then you must not let them be easily bewitched and go overseas and lose their lives in vain!"

Li Yu is the writer, dramatist, and also a publisher in history books. The reason why he moved to Nanjing was to protect copyright and crack down on piracy. Well, this is absolutely natural.

Although he made a living by writing, publishing novels, performing dramas and singing similar dramas, he also had thousands of acres of fertile land in Jinhua, and tenant farmers... He ran earlier, and even some poor land was not willing to take over the farming of the tenant farmers. In order not to pay the land to the government for vain, he could even rent it to the tenant farmers, as long as they bear the land and donate it.

Some of these landlords really feel pain.

All rent reduction!

Can these great charitable people not suffer?

If you don’t think of a solution, in a few decades, they don’t know whether there will be “super soldiers and farming people”, but what is certain is that at that time, you may not be able to find tenants who are willing to rent farming.

After all, those who have no land will take the first step, and those who have less land will sell the land and move it overseas. The remaining people's land will be enough to plant it. Why rent the landlord's land? What should I do then? Is the land deserted? But even if the land is deserted, I have to pay the land tax!

The land tax of Emperor Qian Sheng is arrears...that will happen to something big. It may even lose your head.

It took only half a day to write an article, which was a bit of truth and literature. In the end, he even used Zheng Kun, who was beheaded, to persuade everyone there. "It is easy to persuade you to only have a house (hometown), and it is absolutely not accessible to the country (namely, Nanyang)".

After this article was published, it immediately caused a sensation. It was not only an encounter of "losing Qingqing's life at first sight", but more importantly... The article talked about the hearts of everyone (gentlemen). They also tried their best to persuade their tenants not to risk going out to sea. Just like the "Senior Zheng" in the article, they picked up their pens and wrote articles in newspapers. They both had heard of overseas experiences and also had a pity for the death of good families in the deserted forests overseas. In short, it was to amplify the dangers overseas.

One stone hit a thousand waves, especially as the Gentleman Lin held a big discussion in the newspaper, although the immigration wave was not affected, the officials with a keen sense of smell immediately realized the risks and immediately wrote a letter to report to the report.

"Has it been found out?"

After Song Xuezhu entered the imperial study room, he put down the pen in his hand and Zhu Guoqiang asked back.

"Your Majesty, you have found out that Zheng Kun's incident is indeed true."

As the chief minister of the Ming Dynasty, he usually doesn't need to ask about such trivial matters at all. In theory, Fuyi Department should go through it. After all, Fuyi Department is specifically responsible for overseas breeding. That is the government office of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. What does it have to do with the cabinet?

The Office of Internal Affairs is the Inner Court, and the Fuyi Department is subordinate to the Office of Internal Affairs. In other words, overseas colonies are royal affairs and have little to do with the cabinet. Of course, the cabinet cannot be separated from it. After all, half of the taxes in overseas colonies are entered into the Ministry of Revenue. If you collect money, you will not do anything. There is no such thing in the world.

Besides, did Your Majesty ask the cabinet to investigate this matter?

"Oh? So, Siam did kill our people?"

Looking through the memorandum handed over by Song Xuezhu, Zhu Guoqiang asked back.

After seeing the news in the newspaper, he immediately issued an order to investigate thoroughly. Those Siamese people were brave enough to kill the people of the Ming Dynasty!

Song Xuezhu replied.

"It's indeed killed! But..."

"But what?"

"Murdering someone to pay for his life is where the law lies."

"Kill our people!" Zhu Guoqiang stressed.

"Their Siamese law cannot control our people."

It's so slanderous!

With just one sentence, Song Xuezhu couldn't speak.

"The reason why the Supreme Kingdom of the Celestial Kingdom is that our etiquette and moral responsibilities are far superior to the barbarians. The same is true for the legal system. If they are allowed to rule our Chinese with barbarians, we Chinese will definitely be bullied by the barbarians' harsh laws!"

Zhu Guoqiang, who put down the memorials and said dissatisfiedly.

"What kind of killing people pay for their lives? The reason is in my opinion. As a Siamese official, he bullied my Daming people. Zheng Kun couldn't bear the bullying and fought back. It was a reason to kill people. This should be justified self-defense! Killing people pays for their lives and killing people, and killing them is also killing him. He will avenge my Daming people! Song Qing's family!"

Staring at Song Xuezhu, Zhu Guoqiang said in a deep voice.

"As the chief minister, you must understand that when dealing with foreign countries, you must first protect the interests of your own citizens. Even if our people really kill their people, you must be biased towards our people. Helping others and not helping relatives. It is just a joke. The truth must be told, but the fight still needs to be biased. Officials, as parents of the people, should favor their own people when negotiating with outsiders!"

Suddenly, Song Xuezhu was stunned. His Majesty was talking about the law seriously, but this would come true and told him directly to protect his people.

Isn't this bullying?

But after another thought, he understood why the southwest chieftains always report that local officials always favor the Han people? If officials do not favor the Han people, why should the Han people live with the Tuyi? If the Han people leave all the southwest, over time, will the southwest be completely returned to the Tuyi?

Even now, isn’t the reason why Your Majesty values ​​this matter because he is worried about affecting the cause of overseas colonization?

That's why he told him to favor his own people. Only in this way can he let them go overseas to make a living with peace of mind.

As for those natives, what does the life and death of natives have to do with the Ming Dynasty? Even their own people can’t take care of them, but they have to take care of outsiders?

I'm afraid only fools will do this. As an official of the Ming Dynasty, of course, he must favor his own people.

That's right, this is the axiom!

At least for the master in front of you, this is the axiom of the world.

In fact, he didn't know that one of the important reasons why Zhu Guoqiang was extremely sensitive to such things was because, in another world, those foreigners enjoyed super-national treatment in China.

Not only that, they even received all kinds of incredible preferential treatment in college, not just giving them a lot of money to study abroad for nothing. They even shamelessly get some school companions and other things. It is also rare in the world to be so shameless and flatter outsiders.

It is precisely because of this that Zhu Guoqiang appears extremely sensitive on this issue. His own people do not favor their own people? What kind of thing can do such a thing?
