In any case, under the influence of the court's policies, no matter how safe the miners in the pass relocated land, they would have to go outside the pass.

Unlike Zhang Cong's condemnation caused by the heavy mining tax collection within the pass, Xia Yan's tax reduction and exemption policy outside the pass was naturally praised.

Influenced by Huang Lichang, Jiang Nan from Cangzhou also came to Mobei. At this time, he had successfully borrowed 100,000 silver dollars and contracted a large open-pit coal mine in Mobei.

However, Jiang Nan found that many official coal mines outside the pass were already using steam engines to mine. For this reason, he couldn't help but express his idea of ​​using steam engines to produce to the Dunan Governor Fan Da at a business meeting chaired by the Monan Governor Fan Da. After all, the steam engine is highly efficient and does not require too much manpower. It can solve the problem of low population density outside the pass, which is difficult to recruit workers.

Fan Da, the governor of Mo Nan, directly conveyed the Jun order issued by Xia Yan from the cabinet, and expressed his willingness to provide Jiang Nan and other merchants who came to mine outside the customs to purchase steam engines again.

Jiang Nan and other merchants who came to the outside of the customs to start mining were naturally happier, and they were all much more enthusiastic about doing business and starting mining outside of the customs.

In short, under the influence of the court's policy of tight internal and loose external, more and more people inside the pass moved outside the pass, and the value of land use outside the pass also increased. People outside the pass also obtained considerable income under the care of the court's preferential policies. The wealth of these people outside the pass also stimulated more and more people inside the pass to pour out of the pass.

Although many places outside the pass are already bitter and cold due to the cold temperature, under the temptation of money, more and more Han people have begun to settle outside the pass and gradually gather in towns. Because of the cold outside the pass, the living and lifestyles of Han people are also quietly changing.

The people inside the pass brought more new elements inside the pass to outside the pass.

More warmer brick and tile houses have become the most popular residential building for the people outside the pass. Rich people will also install glass to prevent cold. Honeycomb coal and mud stoves that have emerged in the capital have also begun to become popular outside the pass.

After the commercial market emerged, the nomadic lifestyle was gradually replaced. Many people began to be like the people in Jiangnan towns, and they would only roast the fire in the market towns in their spare time and find work in the market town.

Only active and prosperous production activities can allow the dynasty to rule the region for a long time, otherwise the dynasty will have no foundation to rule the region.

Now, in order to effectively and for a long time, the Ming Dynasty used the administrative capabilities of the state machinery to turn many areas outside the pass into prosperous commercial and production activities, which naturally allowed the Ming Dynasty to effectively rule this area effectively.

Even though the court gave a lot of benefits to prosper the mining market outside the pass and reduced the tax rate to very low, the annual tax revenue outside the pass was enough to raise a powerful army that could intimidate the Western Oirat and the Northeast Miss Zhizuo tribes.

Moreover, it has given people's livelihood foundation outside the pass, and the troops stationed outside the pass and their affiliated families have also had the foundation for survival outside the pass.

Because there is a virgin land outside the pass, the political system established is the most progressive and reasonable and comprehensive. After all, there is no need to reform the old things, just copy them directly.

However, the colder and colder days not only affect agricultural production outside the customs, but also commercial trade. The difficulty of transporting goods has increased a lot. Fortunately, after the emergence of the cement industry, the impact of temperature drop on commercial trade has been reduced to a minimum. In winter, officials who already have a certain scientific management knowledge have also begun to organize workers to use industrial salt to melt snow and clear roads.

"This is really something I dare not think about. In previous years, it was still a vast grassland. In winter, heavy snow covered the entire field. The cattle and sheep had to be killed to avoid losing weight. People could only hide in the shed and dare not come out. Now, even if it was such a heavy snowy day, there were still the roar of machines in the mining area, and many workers were pulling coal on the cement road while exhaling heat. As long as people ate more fat cattle and sheep, there were no need to worry that the cattle and sheep that were killed could not be sold!"

Yan Song, the Minister of Agriculture, who came to the north of Seyat to promote the planting of potatoes for cold-resistant crops, saw that there were still people outside Guihua City (Hohhot) in the ice and snow, and couldn't help but say something. As a senior official of the court, he naturally wanted to see this scene, after all, this is a symbol of long-term stability.

At this time, Emperor Ming Dynasty Zhu Houzhao and the officials in the cabinet no longer paid attention to matters outside the jurisdiction.

For Zhu Houzhao and the top officials of the empire, making the economy outside the pass active and the court no longer pays great costs to support the army, the entire strategy has been declared successful. How to develop outside the pass is no longer the focus of the empire.

The focus of the empire is still the south, the ocean.

In the next two or three hundred years, the ocean will be the focus of the interests of various countries and the cradle of the rise of various countries.

Emperor Zhu Houzhao understood this truth.

The enlightened ministers who followed Zhu Houzhao also realized this problem because they had tasted the sweetness in the maritime trade.

Zhu Houzhao didn't know what kind of suffering he sent overseas colonial officials to bring to the local indigenous people, but he knew that in order to get Daming out of suffering, the suffering of being plundered and exploited must be passed on to these indigenous people.

"Only mining and animal husbandry can be developed outside the pass, and in addition to road construction and formation, it is not very meaningful to continue to advance north. I believe that the center of the empire should be in the south, Jiaozhi, Chameng, Sanfoqi, Zhenla, Siam, Lusong, Java and other places should be occupied as soon as possible. These areas have a large amount of arable land, which can produce a lot of grain!"

At this time, when Zhu Houzhao took the initiative to ask Emperor Zhu Houzhao to start to let the Ming Dynasty attack the south, Zhu Houzhao nodded. He naturally knew that the current development of the empire should indeed be in the south, but the question is how to develop to the south, whether to only seize raw materials, or directly turn Southeast Asia, South Asia and even Oceania into industrial raw material processing sites, or turn agricultural civilization and be responsible for grain production.

"These places are of course occupied, but after occupying them, how should we rule these areas, whether to continue mining or turn into farming areas, and supply grain for the Ming Dynasty."

Zhu Houzhao asked, he had an idea in his heart, but he still wanted to see what the ministers present thought.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, I believe that what the empire needs most now is food, and what it needs more in the future is still food. Food is the most important thing for the people. However, according to the investigation report of the Audit Office, these places in Jiangnan and outside the pass have now relied on foreign grain imports, while the grain output in the native grain areas such as Jingji, Huguang and Sichuan is also declining. This shows that the rich grain-producing areas within the Daming Pass are gradually changing rice to mulberry, and we need to store more fields in other areas in the future."

Zhang Cong also said something at this time.

After hearing this, Zhu Houzhao became more convinced of his views and asked Wang Shouren: "I took the Guard General to participate in the interview with Gui E, the Minister of War, and discussed the strategy of regaining Jiaozhi! I helped the Jinyiwei strengthen the intelligence reconnaissance of Jiaozhi."

Wang Shouren and others nodded and said yes. They all understood that His Majesty had obviously been determined to recover Jiaozhi, and they did not stop him, because they all knew that it was not that His Majesty wanted to recover Jiaozhi now, but that the empire had to recover Jiaozhi.

There was no way. Because the industry was developing too fast in the Ming Dynasty and agricultural civilization were extremely reduced, more than half of the grain was dependent on imports. Among the imported grain sources, Jiaozhi, Siam, Chameng and other places accounted for the largest proportion. If they wanted to occupy Siam, Chameng had to occupy Jiaozhi first. If the Ming Dynasty wanted to occupy Southeast Asian grain production areas, they could only occupy Jiaozhi first.

Of course, if the Ming Dynasty wants to obtain food from Jiaozhi, it can actually not go through war. However, as the empire's food demand increases, the empire's way of trade is obviously not enough to get more food. It naturally occupied Jiaozhi, destroyed Jiaozhi, eliminated its ruling class that sucked the people of Jiaozhi, and supplied all the food produced by Jiaozhi to the Ming Dynasty.

What's more, only by turning Jiaozhi into the territory of the Ming Dynasty can we carry out more advanced research on agricultural production technology.

But for the Ming Dynasty, using war to conquer Jiaozhi is just a means, and how to turn Jiaozhi into an agricultural production base for the Ming Dynasty is the key.

Because of history, many scholars and officials in the court and the country were more willing to restore the "county system" management model of Jiaozhi, that is, to include Jiaozhi in the Ming Dynasty.

After all, during the reign of Emperor Yongle, the Ming Dynasty included Jiaozhi in the territory and also carried out the "county system" management.

Now, Emperor Zhu Houzhao has recovered Jiaozhi and managed Jiaozhi with a "county system" system, which can naturally be regarded as a glory of the Yongle period.

But what Zhu Houzhao is now worried about is whether the people in Jiaozhi should be treated equally by the people of the Ming Dynasty. After occupying Jiaozhi, the introduction of Jiaozhi into the local area means that many cruel policies will not be implemented. Therefore, in order to maximize the interests of the people of the Ming Dynasty, it is obviously wrong to treat the people of the Jiaozhi as the people of the Ming Dynasty.

How the Ming Dynasty will rule the occupied areas in the future is a question that needs to be clarified. At present, there are two main ways of ruling the occupied areas, namely the colonies. One is the Malacca form. The Ming Dynasty appointed the administrative head to rule the Malacca. The real power is in the hands of the administrative head, and the Malacca king is just a void position.

One is the Goa model, which combines the traditional caste system of A San, and places the Ming people on the first level of the caste system, and then uses caste hierarchy management.

"Corrupt scholars believe that the people of the world should be treated equally and transformed with virtue. But Your Majesty's saint's knowledge makes me understand that the world's wealth is limited. If you do not want to trap our people, you will definitely harm other countries. If you want to favor other countries, you will definitely harm your people's benefits!"

When Zhang Cong analyzed Zhu Houzhao's current discussion on how to treat foreign people, he expressed his views and said: "So, I believe that even if Jiaozhi is recovered in the future, the foreign people of Jiaozhi should not be treated the same as those of the Ming people. The foreign people should be divided into levels and divided according to the degree of sinicization!"

"I do not agree with what the Prime Minister said, "The Buddha said that worldly laws are equal. Since they are both human beings, why are they different from the previous Yuan Dynasty? In this way, what is the difference between us and the former Yuan Dynasty? Moreover, the constitutional outline also stipulates that the so-called human rights gifts can only replace the heavens and abolish the basic rights of people. Now the Prime Minister wants to not tolerate people of other races, wouldn't it be that they disrespect their human rights?"

At this time, Wang Ting, a new cabinet minister, opposed Zhang Cong's view.

Zhang Cong hurriedly replied: "Human rights gift is true, but human rights gift means that Your Majesty gives human rights, because Your Majesty is the heaven of my Ming Dynasty! And as long as Your Majesty says that these people of the alien race are not humans, but slaves, then they are not worthy of human rights! The so-called existence and whether human rights are present or not is naturally controlled by the emperor!"

When Zhu Houzhao heard Zhang Cong say this, he couldn't help laughing. He found that Zhang Cong was right. The natural human rights that were regarded as truth by later generations seemed to be as Zhang Cong said. Whether a person has human rights depends on what rights the person who ruled him gave him. If he wants to fight for more human rights, he must rely on his stronger strength to win them.

"This is exactly what the Chief Minister said. Whether it is Jiaozhi or Chameng, whether the indigenous people in these places can have human rights, it cannot be granted by me. It depends on their own efforts. If they can force me to recognize their human rights, I can naturally treat them as the people of the Ming Dynasty, but they obviously do not have this strength now!"

After Zhu Houzhao said, Zhang Cong also took over the words: "As Your Majesty said, the Ming Dynasty did not have the need to be kind to the people of the foreign race, and the Han, Tang and Song dynasties were not far away. If you are strong in foreign races, you will have no worries in the world. If you are gentle in foreign races, you will have chaos in the world. In the opinion of the ministers, the people of Jiaozhi should be divided into the second grade. They should not have the opportunity to educate and read, they should not have the opportunity to enter Middle Earth, they should not have the opportunity to do business, they should have the opportunity to practice martial arts and become an army, and they should not have the opportunity to participate in the imperial examination and become an official!"

After Zhang Cong said the "five nos", Zhu Houzhao nodded. He knew that once Zhang Cong implemented these five nos, it means that the people of Jiaozhi could only be serfs to farm and provide food for the Ming Dynasty. This was undoubtedly beneficial to the Ming Dynasty and could also effectively hinder the progress of the civilization of the Jiaozhi natives.

"After the report, the people outside will be transformed into this order, and the emperor will be ordered to all the people in the world to be the best people!"

After Zhu Houzhao said that, Zhang Cong and others nodded and said yes, no one raised too serious objections to this. After all, Daming does need to have an exploitable group at present. If the people of their own country are not good, they can only exploit the people of other races.

The regaining of Jiaozhi was officially put on the agenda, and the Guards began to prepare for the corresponding dispatch and training of military rations, military pay, military ordnances and military. Although Jiaozhi belongs to the mountain jungle and has high requirements for military jungle combat, fortunately, the Ming Dynasty has vast land and all types of terrain and talents, so it is not difficult to call out a few mountain divisions.

While the Ming Empire was preparing to recover Jiaozhi, the royal royal family meeting also arrived as scheduled.

The royal family members of the vassal kings began to enter Beijing one after another.

For the current Zhengde Dynasty, most of the domestic problems have been solved. The low-class and craftsmanship system have been banned. The military household registration system has been gradually reformed. It has also begun to develop outside the pass. The tax administration in Jiangnan has also been reformed, and the grassroots control has been strengthened. The government has already been tested and the economy has become the main capital of the state's control. The military has a standing army in the form of recruitment system, and it is also equipped with an education and training system. There are also special research and development institutions in industry and technology.
