Naturalized to the Ming Dynasty, it was the Ming Dynasty. This was a custom and there were no formal documents or proofs.

But the Nationality Law fills this gap, gives legal recognition, and has some formal rituals, such as oaths, naturalization documents, etc.

This is not just a sense of ritual, but a more solemn and solemn appearance. Don’t think that becoming a Ming person is that simple, and not everyone accepts it.

Li Guozhu understood, and Dong Yingju also understood.

Setting up a threshold and taking the swearing to naturalize does not guarantee that naturalized people can be loyal to the Ming Dynasty. Not to mention naturalized people, they are people from the Ming Dynasty. Who knows whether they will treason for the country and surrender to the enemy?

But they didn't know that the promulgation of the Nationality Law actually had another profound meaning, which would become the reason for the Ming Dynasty to go to war against the outside world in the future.

Because no one has heard of the term "extradition", although the pursuit of traitorous traitors has long been happening.

As long as the Ming Dynasty is strong enough and the army is invincible, the traitor will have no place to stand. No matter if he runs to the ends of the world, he must also take the lead with the law and make the right punishment clear, and think that those who come later will be warned.

"Be naturalized first, then inspect. You can speak Chinese for two years, pass the exam for five years, and you are still officially joining the Ming Dynasty." Dong Yingju smiled, stretched out his hand to stroke his beard under the jaw, and said, "Do you understand the profound meaning of long live, Lord Li?"

"The officials understand." Li Guozhu bowed, "Long live this wise plan, which can be implemented first in this county."

"Very good." Dong Yingju nodded. He just said hello first. The emperor's will is not good. Who dares not to obey it?

After pausing, Dong Yingju said again: "The emperor sent a medical officer to bring a prescription for treating diseases and has arrived in Mekong Province."

Li Guozhu's eyes lit up and he praised: "This is a great joy, which relieves the people's worries and immigration work can be carried out smoothly."

In the southwest, it is difficult to catch heat and mosquitoes and flies grow. The most popular disease is abuse.

Moreover, due to the limited technological level, people are not clear about the causes of abuse. Some are attributed to miasma, and some are due to unclean things.

The emperor naturally knew it was a mosquito bite, and he also knew the special medicine for treating disease abuse.

Jinchona frost is not available for the time being, although he has already found a way to do it through missionaries and plans to choose a place to plant Jinchona trees in Nanyang.

And what can be applied to reality immediately seems to be Qingsong, commonly known as the stinky song plant.

Of course, the emperor did not know the extraction method of Qingsongsu, and also believed that it was impossible to achieve it by relying on current technology. However, he could let the doctor try which of these two methods works.

At the same time, since you know the cause of the disease, mosquito nets, perfumes, mosquito coils, etc. that can also come in handy.

Under the instructions of the emperor, the Imperial Hospital and the Medical College conducted experiments and research in this area, and finally verified that using Qingsong juice to squeeze is effective.

Don’t underestimate this method of preventing and treating disease abuse, but it eliminates the major obstacles to expanding territory in the warm and humid places of Southeast Asia. It will not only reduce injuries to the army, but also allow immigrants to relieve their doubts.

Dong Yingju laughed and said, "I have seen the medical officer's prevention and treatment plan. This disease can be prevented and cured. If it is implemented, there is nothing terrible about the miasma in the South China Sea."

Li Guozhu hesitated for a moment and asked tentatively: "I wonder if this precaution is kept secret?"

After pausing, he added: "It's not for outsiders, but for maritime merchants. The maritime merchants running in Nanyang will give them a layer of protection."

Dong Yingju smiled and said, "All my people in the Ming Dynasty can be informed. Even if they are barbarians, I will not keep their secrets for too long."

There is no need to block the secrets, and it will not take long to keep them. After all, to let the people know how to do it, millions of people cannot be learned by outsiders.

Li Guozhu immediately felt relieved, thinking that even if he didn't tell the Maritime Merchants Association, his adoptive father would have a precaution for prevention and treatment.

You should know that the emperor's ambitions will always be the first to know and start to take action.

He received the position of county magistrate in Mekong Province, but he came here to experience it and it won't last long.

Li Dan and Yan Siqi have already set their sights on the vast land of Nanyang. Under the instructions of the emperor, they have infiltrated and spyed in the guise of commerce until they occupy a larger territory.

According to the emperor's promise, the court will not hesitate to grant titles and rewards for any achievements and give them certain fiefs.

This is another first time that the merchants were given a real title and a real fief. Even the founding meritorious service of this dynasty, very few people received this treatment.

Obviously, the emperor was optimistic about the pioneering spirit of the Maritime Merchant Group and gave it convenience first, hoping that they could accomplish things and become role models for others.

"Liaodong has been pacified, and the whole country is celebrating. Mekong Province also wants to congratulate the Ming Dynasty and the Holy Emperor." Dong Yingju smiled and showed a different relaxation and pleasure than before. "You have seen the arrangements in the city, right?"

Li Guozhu nodded quickly and said, "The decoration of lights is extremely grand. The county town under Xiaguan's rule also had the same celebration atmosphere, but it was not as good as the city."

Dong Yingju laughed and talked with Li Guozhu for a while before he let him say goodbye.

Only Dong Yingju was left in the hall. He pondered for a long time and packed up his thoughts that were interrupted by Li Guozhu again, picked up his pen and spread paper, and began to write secret memorials to the emperor.

There are some things that Dong Yingju did not tell Li Guozhu. It was not because he did not trust him, but because he had nothing to do with Li Guozhu.

The emperor asked Dong Yingju about the situation in Mekong Province, mainly the situation in Chameng State to the north and the situation in Chameng State to the north and the south Ruan State to the north.

At that time, Annan was divided into two divisions, north and south, and fought for years. North Zheng, Nan and Ruan had a victory or defeat, and no one could defeat the opponent in one fell swoop, thus unifying Annan.

Chameng Kingdom was already weak and was destroyed, but Nan Ruan did not make any moves, so he allowed him to exist in a respectful manner.

However, the Ming Dynasty expanded land and cultivated in Mekong Province, sandwiching the Chameng Kingdom in the middle.

Under such circumstances, Nan Ruan may be even more difficult to start. They are not stupid either. They are not stupid. They are much less pressure than facing the powerful Ming Dynasty.

In Dong Yingju's view, the temporary maintenance of Chameng Country is more beneficial to the development of Mekong Province. After all, the expansion direction of Mekong Province is mainly to the south, until the sea.

At the southernmost tip of the Indochina Peninsula, it is of great significance to have a port. As a transit station to Siam and the Malay Peninsula, it provides greater convenience for maritime merchants to the South China Sea.

At the same time, this is also what the navy requires, to better control the South China Sea and resist the Western barbarians.

"Long live the clarification. If Mekong Province can add another 100,000 immigrants next year, land cultivation will be enough for three years. And the water and land forces exceed 10,000, which can sweep the yao and barbarians, and they are invincible..."

Dong Yingju put down his pen and felt that Liaodong was pacified and the court should be able to provide greater support to Mekong Province.
