Yao Qiwen, the Minister of Household Affairs of the Liao State, stared at the Prime Minister Shen Boqun.
As Shen Boqun's opponent, he considered the policies he proposed.
The policy of prohibiting intermarriage was simple and clear, and he could see it at a glance.
There is a policy of divergence between the government and the public. He cannot predict where the divergence lies. This policy is very vague.
Shen Boqun, the Prime Minister of the Liao State Cabinet, saw the thinking eyes of the ministers, and he introduced the policies he proposed in a leisurely manner.
"Your Majesty, the key point of this policy proposed by me is the distinction between country and country.
During the pre-Qin period, the major vassal states were divided into countrymen and barbarians.
Chinese people are real citizens and enjoy the rights granted by law. They can serve as officials and join the army to fight for the country.
Savages are just slaves who have not lost all their freedom. They do not enjoy any rights granted by the state.
When the Mongols invaded the Central Plains, the Yuan Dynasty also implemented the four-class civil system.
When the Mongols killed Han people, they only needed to pay for a donkey.
The minister drew on the systems that appeared in history and proposed the system of distinction between the country and the countryside."
Shen Boqun, the Prime Minister of the Liao Kingdom, just paused.
Yao Qiwen, the Minister of Household Affairs of the Liao Kingdom, stood up and objected with a frown:
"Your Majesty, I do not recommend the implementation of the system of separation of country and country proposed by the Prime Minister.
This system refers to the Mongolian four-class system.
We Han people have suffered greatly from this, and we should not do to others what we do not want others to do to us.
As a Han Chinese, the king implements the Mongolian system. This makes His Majesty the Emperor think of our Liao Kingdom.
This makes tens of millions of Chinese people think about our Liao Kingdom.
His Majesty, the Emperor of Great China, has thoughts that are not like his own, which is very dangerous to our Liao Kingdom.
The Liao Kingdom is still in its infancy. Without the support of Dahua, it will be difficult for us to survive in this barbaric land.
Qin Emperor, Han Dynasty, Wu Tang Sect, the most important reason why they disliked the eldest son or prince was that they were not like themselves.
I think we should learn a lesson and not stumble on this kind of thing."
Shen Boqun, the Prime Minister of the Liao Kingdom, saw Yao Qiwen, the Minister of Household Affairs, confronting him tit for tat.
Shen Boqun frowned. Yao Qiwen was a talented person who was personally invited by Li Qingmu, the leader of the Liao Kingdom.
There are currently two major factions among the civil servants of the Liao Dynasty. The largest faction is the foreign relatives faction headed by Shen Boqun.
The faction that can compete with them is the Fujian Party headed by Yao Qiwen.
Shen Boqun also knew about the official situation in the Liao Kingdom, which was being manipulated by his brother-in-law Li Qingmu behind the scenes.
As the founder of the country, Li Qingmu's political level was not high, but he also knew that the civil and military parties in the country could not allow one family to dominate.
Shen Boqun said angrily: "Yao Qiwen, what do you, a sour scholar, know? If you manage this country, you will be despised by His Majesty the Emperor of China and ostracized by the people of China.
What kind of place is this? This is a wild land far overseas.
Take a closer look at the indigenous tribes outside. They are so dark that they look like evil ghosts.
Your Majesty, based on my investigation during this period.
Among these indigenous tribes were plundered Western women, as well as indigenous women who looked similar to us on the big island not far from us.
There are also dark women in the Westerners' camps and on the big island.
As long as one parent is an indigenous black person, their children will be black without exception.
As long as we leave it alone, our current population in the Liao Kingdom is very sparse compared to the indigenous tribes.
Decades later, most of the next generation of the Liao Kingdom were dark people.
I would like to ask, by then, will our Liao Kingdom still be considered a Han people’s country?
After our generation passed away, our closest connection with Dahua was severed.
When that time comes, will the Han people in Dahua still regard us as the same kind?
We are creating a habitat for future generations.
Before we have grown up, in a place where powerful enemies are looking around, what will happen if we lose the support of Dahua? Everyone has expected it.
Could it be that Mr. Yao wants to see his grandson look like a devil?
If Mr. Yao agrees with his son to marry an indigenous woman, then I have nothing to say."
Shen Boqun spoke very fast, leaving Yao Qiwen speechless.
Li Qingmu, the leader of the Liao Kingdom, frowned when he saw Shen Boqun and Yao Qiwen arguing over this matter.
He wanted to see the two forces checking and balancing each other, but he did not want to see them holding each other back and affecting the development of the Liao Kingdom.
Li Qingmu, the leader of the Liao Kingdom, said: "We will discuss the policies seriously, and Prime Minister Shen will finish the relevant policies first.
If there is any mistake, we are discussing it."
Yao Qiwen, the Minister of Household Affairs of the Liao Kingdom, heard the speech of Li Qingmu, the leader of the Liao Kingdom.
Having been squeezed out, I was at a loss for words, so I immediately took advantage of the situation and retreated to my own team.
Shen Boqun, the Prime Minister of the Liao State Cabinet, continued: "Your Majesty, I considered the prototype of this policy on my way here.
After I learned about the local indigenous tribes, I already realized that it would be difficult for us to assimilate each other.
We in China are an inclusive civilization, but the prerequisite for assimilating each other is to look similar.
Only in this way will the cost of assimilation be minimized.
The difference in appearance is too big, and getting twice the result with half the effort is not worth the effort.
People who are conducive to assimilation, after several generations, the descendants of these people are gradually assimilated by us.
We look very different from the people in this place, so no matter how we try to assimilate, it will have little effect.
We cannot assimilate these indigenous tribes, we can only adopt isolation measures to make them available to us and refuse them to integrate into our group.
In order to ensure the continuation of this policy, it is necessary to strictly distinguish between Chinese and savages.
As for the relevant policies for the Chinese people, we only need to copy Dahua’s relevant policies for the common people.
The only restriction imposed by the Liao Kingdom on its citizens was that it prohibited intermarriage with savages. Anyone who violated this law would automatically lose their status as a citizen and become a savage.
The savages are the natives who do not object to our rule and give them limited freedom.
For the indigenous tribes that resisted fiercely, Chen Jianyi castrated the young men of these tribes and demoted them into slaves in order to frighten the other indigenous tribes."
Shen Boqun, Prime Minister of the Liao State Cabinet, briefly introduced the policies related to Chinese people and barbarians.
He and his staff have already formulated supporting policies related to this policy.
After discussions between the leader of the Liao Kingdom, Li Qingmu, and the officials of the Liao Kingdom,
After they modified the inappropriate aspects of this policy, they ordered the Liao Kingdom to implement this policy.
Li Qingmu, the leader of the Liao Kingdom, knew that the place he was in was different from Southeast Asia and America.
The indigenous tribes there, at least in appearance, are not much different from the Han people. After several generations of intermarriage, it is possible for these indigenous tribes to assimilate.
The Liao Kingdom did not have this condition. In order to ensure the purity of the Liao Kingdom, they could only implement the policy of separating Chinese people from savages.
As the number of people in the Liao Kingdom increases, the number of savages in the Liao Kingdom will gradually decrease. The ultimate goal of Li Qingmu, the leader of the Liao Kingdom, is that there will be no savages in the Liao Kingdom.
Ou Zixun, a special correspondent of Yanhuang Daily, wrote a chapter in the founding record of the Liao Kingdom, which is dedicated to the Chinese and savages of the Liao Kingdom.
This report was extremely influential. The relevant policies formulated by the vassal states of the Great China Dynasty in the future were more or less affected by the policies of the Liao Kingdom.
…………………………
Li Qingmu, the leader of the Liao Kingdom, walked to the dock and looked at the huge concrete fort that was gradually taking shape.
These three forts equipped with 15 325mm coastal defense guns are the greatest protection of the Liao Kingdom.
He has arranged for some warships to return with cargo ships.
The nautical chart has been drawn up, warships have been escorted, and the waterway has been opened.
As long as there is profit, merchants from Dahua will continue to go to Liao Kingdom.
Li Qingmu, the leader of the Liao Kingdom, said to Shen Boqun, the Prime Minister of the Cabinet who was following him: "Shen Aiqing, the docks and forts are being built too fast. Only how long has passed.
Now that the docks and forts have been built, and the city of Liao has begun to take shape, our Liao Kingdom is developing better and better."
Shen Boqun smiled and said: "I would like to thank Governor Fan Youming for the Liao army's capture of a large number of slaves.
The Liao army shocked other indigenous tribes, and we also gathered many savages.
These castrated slaves worked very hard as long as they were given a bite to eat.
They can't do delicate work, but they can still do the most physically demanding work of mixing concrete and moving rocks."
Li Qingmu, the leader of the Liao Kingdom, asked curiously: "Can these savages and slaves understand our words?"
Shen Boqun, the Prime Minister of the Liao Kingdom, said in a calm tone: "They don't need to understand what we are saying? They just need to know steamed buns and whips.
These slaves were told to do things. If they did something right, they would be given a bun, and if they did something wrong, they would be whipped.
It only takes three days for everyone to understand what to do.
We also let savages manage the slaves, and these people were extremely cruel to their own kind."
Li Qingmu, the leader of the Liao Kingdom, looked at the people building the city in the distance.
He saw the savage overseer holding a wooden stick and directing other slaves of the same race to work.
This scene is very similar to when he was a child, when the landlord's slaves were supervising the tenants' work.
Unexpectedly, in the country he founded, this phenomenon was more common.
But this is an extremely cost-saving management method.
Li Qingmu, the leader of the Liao Kingdom, looked to the north of Liao City.
"Food is the most important thing for the people, and we in Liao must ensure self-sufficiency in food.
The cost of buying grain from Dahua is too high and we cannot afford it for a long time.
Follow me to see Yao Aiqing's progress in opening up wasteland."
Shen Boqun, the Prime Minister of the Liao Kingdom, was extremely conflicted.
He did not want Yao Qiwen, the Minister of Revenue, to do a good job in opening up wasteland; he also hoped that Yao Qiwen, the Minister of Revenue, would do a good job in opening up wasteland.
Under the protection of the Liao army, they took a carriage to the north of Daliao City, which was connected to Daliao City by a cement road.
It is rainy here in the Liao Kingdom, and a large amount of materials must be transported to open up wasteland. The Liao Kingdom prioritizes organizing manpower to build main roads connecting the farms.
Yao Qiwen, the Minister of Household Affairs, welcomed Li Qingmu, the leader of the Liao Kingdom.
He happily reported: "Your Majesty, we have opened up more than 50,000 acres of land.
The peas and sweet potatoes planted on the land that were first cleared grew very well.
The grain produced by these lands can basically meet the current consumption of Daliao City.
The land that was then cleared was used to feed the new population.
The Chinese people are very motivated to open up wasteland this time, and our Liao Kingdom does not set a land limit.
We will allocate as much land to our people as they can cultivate.
There are no other restrictions except paying taxes on time, only growing food, and not allowing it to be abandoned.
The first batch of immigrants who followed us have all been allocated land, and each person has been allocated at least one hundred acres.
The Ministry of Revenue also assigned ten savages to each countryman who farmed the land to help them open up wasteland and farm the land."
Li Qingmu looked at the sweet potatoes growing well in the field, with a happy smile on his face.
"Very good, this should be a new sweet potato variety cultivated by the Dahua Dynasty Academy of Sciences.
When I was leading the army, I helped my fellow villagers harvest sweet potatoes, and I had never seen sweet potatoes growing so well."
Yao Qiwen, the Minister of Household Affairs, said with emotion: "Your Majesty, this is really a blessed land, and the land is extremely fertile.
I have never seen such fertile land.
Our land in China has been cultivated for thousands of years, and the fertility of the land is extremely poor.
The king may not be aware of these sweet potatoes and thought they were new varieties.
The sweet potatoes grown by Chen are ordinary sweet potatoes.
The sweet potatoes grown here generally grow stronger than those grown in Dahua Dynasty, and Chen expects the yield to increase by at least 50%.
It is a pity that this sacred land is occupied by indigenous tribes.
These indigenous tribes only pick wild fruits and hunt.
There are smart tribes who can at most sow some seeds on the ground and rely entirely on the sky for their livelihood.
If this land hadn't been so fertile, and you could eat enough just by picking fruits, you wouldn't be able to support so many indigenous tribes.
The newly reclaimed land can only grow coarse grains such as sweet potatoes, corn, and sorghum.
Once these lands are mature, crops such as wheat can be grown.”
Li Qingmu, the leader of the Liao Kingdom, saw this large area of fertile land and said excitedly: "Yao Aiqing, keep up your efforts and open up more land.
If you can carve out millions of acres of land for the Liao Kingdom, I will make you a marquis. If you can carve out tens of millions of acres of land for the Liao Kingdom, I will make you a duke.
This is a title that is hereditary and will not be reduced or reduced."
When Yao Qiwen heard the promise from the king Li Qingmu, he excitedly promised: "I will definitely fulfill the king's request."
Li Qingmu said in a gentle tone: "Yao Aiqing, don't be anxious, this matter cannot be completed in a short time.
If you encounter any problems during the land reclamation process, I will try your best to help Aiqing solve them."
"Your Majesty, I encountered many difficulties, but I solved them one by one.
There are only two problems that are beyond my ability.
One is that they are not accustomed to the local climate, and many immigrants who arrived fell ill.
It was okay at the seaside, but as we went further inland, these people's condition gradually became serious. The most serious symptom was diarrhea, and some people died of dehydration one after another.
I have seen a doctor and taken many doses of decoction, but these people have not been cured.
The second big problem is the lack of cattle to open up wasteland, and the speed of plowing the land by manpower is very slow."
Yao Qiwen was not polite and told him the difficulties he encountered.
After hearing this, Li Qingmu, the leader of the Liao Kingdom, said: "There is a shortage of cattle to open up wasteland, and there is no way to solve it.
The price of Dahua cattle is not high now, but when shipped to the Liao Kingdom, the mortality rate at sea is extremely high.
The only way to solve this problem is to buy more breeding cattle and rely on the reproduction of the herd.
Now we can only rely more on manpower.
There should be a solution to the problem of diarrhea.
When we were still in the army, His Majesty Su He told us that smashing Guanyin soil into powder can cure diarrhea.
This Guanyin soil, which can support a person to death in disaster years, absorbs water and swells in the stomach, making it impossible for the person to defecate, and the person will soon be bloated to death.
But after taking a small amount, it is a good medicine for treating diarrhea.
The military will prepare some Guanyin soil. The navy often eats rotten food, so it will prepare a large amount of Guanyin soil.
The doctor probably didn't know that there was a lot of Guanyin soil in the army, otherwise he would have prescribed this medicine.
I will immediately notify Grand Governor Fan Youming and bring in a batch of Guanyin soil. This good medicine can solve the diarrheal diseases we are encountering now."
The order of Li Qingmu, the leader of the Liao Kingdom, was quickly implemented and a large amount of powdered Guanyin soil was distributed to the immigrants.
Many immigrants were afraid to eat it. The doctor personally demonstrated and guided the immigrants to take it, and the diarrhea problem was quickly solved.
Li Qingmu, the leader of the Liao Kingdom, smiled when he saw the immigrants regaining health. Every citizen of the country was extremely precious.
He tried his best to ensure that the people of the country survived in the Liao Kingdom, so that he could build a prosperous Liao Kingdom.
Thank you Tianwen for the reward of having a big baby
