If words like "Mrs. Lao gives birth to another child" are said among best friends in later generations, even if that is what they mean, it will definitely be full of jokes.
However, Huang Zhiting, who was born in the Ming Dynasty, obviously lacked the sense of humor in this regard. After hearing this, she just frowned slightly, sighed, and said: "If I can, I will naturally be obliged to do so. But as the saying goes: 'More children, more blessings',"
The Gao family has such a high status and the master has such a big business. If Tan'er doesn't have more brothers in the future, many things will not be so easy to control."
Gao Pragmatic was almost dumbfounded when he heard this - How come I didn't realize you were thinking so long-term before? You are already worrying about your son's future!
After having this idea, Mr. Gao, who had always been "over-calculating", couldn't help but wonder: Zhiting took the initiative to take charge of southern Xinjiang. Although she said she was looking after the inheritance for me, maybe she also wanted to help her son look after the inheritance?
He recalled that when Zhiting first went to southern Xinjiang to take charge, Tan'er did not exist, which should mean that she had not considered such a far-reaching matter at that time.
However, according to "experience", women are born with maternal nature, and the more traditional a woman is, the stronger her maternal nature is. Therefore, it is very likely that with the birth of Tan'er, she "awakened her maternal nature" and did not only consider
When thinking about your husband, you will also consider your son.
Gao pragmatic suddenly felt that he was not used to it, but he couldn't get angry... Well, is this what it feels like to be a father?
Even though his teacher Guo Pu pointed out that he was "excessive in calculations" many years ago, calculations are not nuclear bombs and there is no "indiscriminate attack". When it comes to his loved ones, Gao Pragmatism does not make calculations.
Of course, he will also detect the other person's thoughts through observation and thinking, but this behavior is not malicious, and is to better understand the other person's mind, so as to decide what kind of words and deeds he will respond to. He just feels that this can make him more understanding.
Do this to satisfy the other person without consciously doing so.
But what he discovered today was something he had never considered before, and he was at a loss for a moment. A woman who was completely centered on him in his consciousness was suddenly half taken away by another "man".
This "man" is his "life extension", and there is no way he can be angry about it.
This feeling is truly unprecedented.
"Master, master?" Huang Zhiting's voice brought Gao Pragmatic out of his trance.
"Huh? What?" Gao Pragmatic, who had just come to his senses, asked blankly.
There was deep concern on Huang Zhiting's face, and her voice was not like the one she had just spoken to Meng Guzhezhe. She had the majesty of Deputy Governor Annan, and it always sounded like a military chill.
At this moment, her voice returned to its pragmatic and pragmatic appearance, as gentle and sweet as a lark in the mountains: "They told me before coming here that the master has almost regarded the household department as his own home during this period, and they can't wait to see him again."
I sleep in the household department so I can save time reviewing the mountains and seas of official documents."
When she said this, she opened her mouth and suddenly realized something. She turned around and gave Gao Mo a look. The look was very simple. Gao Mo could understand it at a glance and immediately sent the maid waiting in the restaurant away. Then he himself
He also walked out of the door and ordered the sentinels arranged by Heiding to move away some distance. In the end, he did not come back, but closed the door and stood farther away.
In fact, Huang Zhiting knew Gao Mo's position around Gao Pingshi. There was almost nothing that this "old slave" didn't know over the years. She just asked him to send his servants away, but she didn't expect him to avoid suspicion himself.
There was no need to call people back at this time, so Huang Zhiting was too lazy to bother and asked Gao pragmatically: "Master, there is something I have always wanted to ask..."
"Ask." Anyway, there are no outsiders now. Although Meng Guzhezhe is still worthy of observation, Huang Zhiting must have a sense of proportion, so Gao pragmatically answered naturally.
"Are the stalls too spread out now?" Huang Zhiting asked with some worry: "From Mongolia to Nanyang, from Qinghai to Japan, there is the shadow of Beijing in tens of thousands of miles, and all aspects of things need to be
The master personally takes care of it, and there are a lot of things in the court... If the master continues like this, I feel that I am really working too hard."
Gao pragmatic did not expect that she would say this. He hesitated for a moment and said: "Qinghai, Mongolia and so on are actually not the focus of my attention at the moment. Things in the west and north just need to be pushed forward by inertia for the time being. After all,
That was a situation that had already been solved years ago, and I don’t put much effort into it now.
As for Nanyang, since you came to take charge, I have only been in charge of the general direction and have not asked much about the details. If I really want to talk about places other than the Ming Dynasty, the only one I am focusing on at the moment is Japan. The situation there is slightly
A bit more complicated.
As for the imperial court... this is the end of the year, and I have set up the 'Large Household Department' this year. This is considered a pioneering stage, and it will definitely be a little busier. But with this year's experience at the bottom, next year should be much better, and you don't have to.
Worry."
Huang Zhiting was still confused about her worries and said: "Not long after I talked to Miss Liu about Japan, the master came back... Can you tell me why Japan is important? Just now Miss Liu told me,
Japan is not as big as Siam, excluding Ezo (Hokkaido)."
Liu Xin is obviously very familiar with the land area of these places. Japan, excluding Hokkaido, has an area of only 295,000 square kilometers, while even Thailand in later generations has an area of 513,000 square kilometers. Siam today is larger than Thailand in later generations.
It's much bigger, almost twice as big as Japan (excluding Hokkaido).
[Note: The territorial area of Siam-Thailand has changed greatly. In the case of this book, it first recovered part of the territory occupied by Myanmar, and then moved from the south to Siam because of its high pragmatism.
Palm, Cambodia got part of it, and the current area is estimated to be about 600,000 square kilometers.]
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! "If we only talk about the size of the country, this is true, but Siam only has about 10 million people, or just over 10 million people, but Japan has 20 million people
." Gao pragmatically said: "So from this perspective, Japan is really not a small country except in front of the Ming Dynasty."
The population of Japan has been mentioned before, and it has also been analyzed by Japanese historians in later generations. Generally speaking, from Toyotomi Hideyoshi's "Taiko Inspection" to Tokugawa Ieyasu's "Keicho Rural Accounts", the statistics of Japanese Ishiga
, we can roughly get the population at that time, which was approximately between 19 million and 22 million.
If we want to apply the term "population density", then the population density of Japan at this time in southern Xinjiang is only comparable to that of Annan in the north and central areas. That is, Annan, which Gao pragmatically won at the beginning, does not include the three Guangnan areas later.
town and later the Mekong Delta and other areas.
The northern and central areas of Annan were originally split from China in the late Tang and early Song dynasties. Its population density is higher than the average of the current "Two Capitals and Thirteen Provinces" of the Ming Dynasty, but it cannot compete with some of the population explosions.
Compared with regions.
Even so, when Annan did not have the South in its hands, although its population was already very high in southern Xinjiang, it only had a population of about 5 million, and the South only had more than 7 million people (at this time, Annan's southern development had reached a low level).
Relatively low), and the complete Annan (basically equal to later Vietnam) was slightly larger than Japan without Hokkaido. It can be seen that the population density of Japan was very high in this era.
Of course, Gao Pragmatic is not going to do some kind of racial purification for Japan. Although he has no good impression of Japan due to a certain period of history in his previous life, he believes that the Japanese under the influence of Japanese national culture are at least better than the natives of southern Xinjiang countries.
It should be better and might be suitable for use.
Everyone knows a certain characteristic of the Japanese. They are typical of beating and not eating. Although they may be arrogant at first, as long as they beat him to death with absolute strength, he will immediately become honest and recognize himself from then on.
The position of , refers to east to east, refers to west to west.
Uncle Sam had a perfect experiment on this and got a satisfactory experience from it.
Gao Qingshi also wanted to experience it. The reason for thinking this way was not mainly because he wanted to get some revenge-like pleasure, but because he found that Jinghua now had this need.
Although the Ming Dynasty had many disaster victims, Gao Pragmatic found that the cost of introducing Ming disaster victims to southern Xinjiang was a bit high, and he was also worried that introducing too many disaster victims would weaken the Ming Dynasty itself.
But if some people can be transferred from Japan to southern Xinjiang, there may be a better way to rule. To put it simply, it is to artificially create an extra social class and let this class share the firepower with Akito who is at the highest level of society.
Be a shield.
To put it simply, Gao Pragmatic has begun to imagine using the Japanese as "Korean sticks" in the future.
When Japan invaded Northeast China, the "Japan-North Korea merger" had already been going on for some years (that is, the annexation of North Korea). Japan had already trained many lackeys in North Korea, so many Koreans were recruited from the Korean Peninsula to suppress the resistance of the Chinese people.
But the Japanese did not really regard them as their own people, so they did not distribute weapons to them. This was not as good as treating the Chinese pseudo-army and pseudo-police. At that time, the Chinese pseudo-police had a baton, but these Koreans could only use the women at home.
The laundry stick used for laundry was used as a weapon, and he carried it with him. If he saw someone displeased with him, he would beat him severely with the stick.
Therefore, the people in the Northeast called them Goryeo Bangzi behind their backs. From word of mouth, "Goryeo Bangzi" gradually became a derogatory name for these Koreans who worked hard for the Japanese.
Call it a contemptuous term, but if the positions of the two parties were reversed, Gao Pragmatic felt that it would be very good, and he really wanted to turn the Japanese into the "Japanese stickmen" of southern Xinjiang.
He even wanted to play another trick of "the emperor is always a good guy, and the only fault is that he has treacherous ministers", so that the Japanese can play the appropriate role of bad guys, stabilize the hatred of the people in the southern border, and allow Akito to do a better job.
To play with social balance, but I am aloof from it.
Once the Japanese do this, they can never look back. They can only cling to Jinghua's lap more honestly and beg to maintain their "second class" status forever.
But having said that, the original naturalized household registration system is also effective for the Japanese. Since they are highly pragmatic, even the active and outstanding elements among the southern border people are willing to naturalize them as Han Chinese, not to mention that overall they are better than they should be.
What about some Japanese people?
In the eyes of the hegemon, either I am the enemy; in the eyes of the king, either the enemy is me.
Those who are either self or the enemy can unite the core forces around them and be strong and tenacious for a while, but their dominance will never last long. Once a failure occurs, it often means that the main force will be severely damaged, and then it will be difficult to recover.
Those who are either our enemies or ourselves can unite all those who are not the main rivals. The stars hold the moon and hundreds of birds look at the phoenix. When we are in trouble, there are people who help us. In times of difficulty, there are people who accompany us in life and death. We have accumulated a lot of experience and are indomitable. Our strength is like the endless flow of a river. Its momentum is like a river.
The turbulence of the waves, the steps of thousands of miles, and finally the great achievements.
The former is like Xiang Yu, and the latter is like Liu Bang.
Like many people, when Gao Pingshi was young in his previous life, he thought that Xiang Yu was a hero and worthy of the title of Overlord. However, as he grew older, he realized that an overlord was only an overlord after all. At that time, only Liu Bang was worthy of the title of "Emperor".
name.
Before the great cause is accomplished, if you throw away a lot of help because of an old grudge in your heart, that is just the youthful spirit.
What's more, with their highly pragmatic plans and understanding of the Japanese national characteristics, they could even shout the slogan "Leave Asia and join Europe". During the Song Dynasty, many Japanese even gave away their wives and daughters to
Businessmen from the Song Dynasty who traveled to Japan stayed overnight just to improve the "breed".
So under the naturalized household registration system, how aggressive should these people be in order to transform themselves into noble "Han people"?
[Note: During the Song Dynasty, the saying that the Japanese gave their wives and daughters to Song Dynasty merchants to improve the "breeds" is not made up by me. It was indeed very common at the time, but I want to explain the reasons.
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! The Japanese attach great importance to the name of the family, but not too much to the bloodline. For example, during the Warring States Period, many daimyo discovered outstanding young people and believed that he could help the family revitalize the family in the future.
If he is named, he will often adopt him as an adopted son, or marry his daughter to him (in this way, he will become a "family", which can be roughly understood as a family), and in the end, he will even pass on the position of family governor to him.
Therefore, for the Japanese, inheriting the family name is more important than traditional bloodline, which is a very common thinking and phenomenon at this time.]
In the Ming Dynasty, things like family names were probably the "family name of the family". The meaning of revitalizing family names was probably to ensure that the family name remained unchanged and the family status was improved.
This kind of Japanese thinking is simply better for high pragmatism - I have a hundred ways to feed this carrot to you in a fancy way! And if you want to eat this fancy-fed carrot, give me
Isn’t it worth sacrificing everything you have?
Just like Gao Pragmatic's original intention when designing the household registration and naturalization system, he not only wanted to absorb all the outstanding "dominated classes", but also let that class always maintain its yearning for "upward".
People at the bottom of society have no room for promotion, and they are the formidable and even mortal enemies of any rule. Just like why the Ming Dynasty in history lost to the Jurchens who had only a small population despite having billions of people, a large part of the reason is
Because the Ming Dynasty's army has no motivation to fight at all - no matter how hard you work and how powerful you are, you will never be able to take the position of the chief governor of the Fifth Army Commandery.
If you can't prove your own worth, and you can't use your efforts to obtain corresponding rewards, no one else will have the will to fight without risking their own lives. Of course, everyone can just mess around, and they will run away as soon as the battle comes.
Huang Zhiting's eyes sparkled when she heard Gao Pragmatic's explanation.
Standing aside, Meng Guzhezhe heard her nominal husband make such a grand speech for the first time. For her, these words were like opening the door to a new world, making her entire world view seem to be changing.
In an instant, it was first subverted and then reshaped. It was truly a completely new thing.
Only Liu Xin understood Gao Jingshi better. Generally speaking, he was quite calm, but in fact, she was secretly surprised. She didn't know that Gao Jingshi was so "shady". What does this approach have to do with murder and murder?
the difference?
Turning the best people of a nation into our own, but insisting that that nation always exist, wouldn't that nation be equivalent to a blood bank, whose only function is to provide the people represented by Gao Pragmatism?
The "Han" class provides fresh blood?
Thinking of this, Secretary-General Liu shivered.
