Canonization is a manifestation of the emperor's authority and an important manifestation of the Chinese tribute system. In principle, accepting canonization means becoming a vassal state, which is a lower-level political power subordinate to the "Chinese Empire" under this power system. For Westerners
From the perspective of the country, it is a "protected country", a "vassal country" and so on.
However, in fact, although Japan in the original history often accepted Chinese canonization, especially during the Muromachi shogunate period, the shogun often accepted the canonization of the "King of Japan", but later academic circles also said that the person who was canonized by China was the Japanese shogunate who conquered the barbarians.
The shogun is not the Japanese emperor himself, so it can only be said that the shogun surrendered to two monarchs at the same time: the Chinese emperor and the Japanese emperor.
So here comes the question: the Japanese emperor is the nominal supreme ruler of Japan! Therefore, even if the shogun accepts the canonization of China, it does not mean that Japan is a vassal state of China. This is different from any other country under the tributary system.
Gao Pangjing is aware of this problem and is determined to solve it. But he has always been a reformist. He pays attention to one step at a time, splitting a big problem into several small problems, and then solving them one by one, boiling frogs in warm water.
Complete it slowly to avoid jumping over the wall and causing unnecessary losses to yourself, or even failure.
To put it bluntly, Gao's pragmatic plan for Japan was to let Japan fight a civil war first. Kyoka appeared at the critical moment and powerfully subdued the two factions whose strength was compromised. Then Tokugawa Ieyasu adopted Gao Yan as his adopted son, established him as the governor of the family, and promoted him to become Tokugawa Ieyasu.
The second general of the Shogunate to conquer barbarians (Note: When Ieki was appointed governor of the Tokugawa family, Ieyasu himself served as shogun, just like Oda Nobunaga, who had not given up the governor to Oda Nobutada after the incident at Honnōji Temple.), this is
Plan the first step.
The seventh step is to wait until Koden reaches adulthood. If Ieyasu is still alive, he will step down as shogun and live in seclusion. If he is dead, Koden will delay taking over as general. Then let Koden reform Japan's power system and completely weaken the emperor and the court.
Abolish the emperor system in the name of Koakiko. Of course, Ieyasu Utamoto is willing to cooperate. That step cannot be divided into several steps and let Ieyasu do it quickly... In short, being pragmatic is to take it slow.
The eighth step cannot be carried out in parallel with the seventh step or slightly later than the seventh step. That is, the small names in Japan will be transferred to the towns, and some of the small names will be moved to southern Xinjiang, Nanyang and even various parts of India, completely disrupting the distribution.
The purpose is to gather them together, submerge them with a weak national character, and classify them as naturalized Han people, completely Chineseized. Of course, in that process, Japan's domestic "Chineseization project" is also continuing to push back.
At this point, the low-pragmatic Japanese plan has been roughly completed, and the remaining work is left to the predecessors - although the "Chinese" move is weak and powerful, it takes time after all, and can definitely be completed in one generation, even if it is done again
No matter how slow it is, it will still take two or eight generations, right? Being pragmatic is to dare to hope that you can live a long life. Ask yourself if your life is up to this time... One generation does what the other generation does. Under those problems, can you be a King Wen?
It's just wrong. The work of King Wu and Duke Zhou should be left to the children and grandchildren.
Having finished talking about the military movements in Gyeongsang Province, Gao Pangshi thought that today's conversation would come to an end. He was thinking about whether to take the initiative to leave, but Han Xionghua changed the subject and said: "I heard that the Nanyang Emperor's
Spring Geng Lixia has launched the first phase... You know he is very busy recently, but you still want to ask him if he doesn't pay any attention to this?"
"How dare I pay attention to your Majesty's affairs?" Gao Pragmatic smiled and said: "The land required for the 40,000 hectares of imperial estate that I promised has been allocated, and it has tried its best to violate the principle of both fertility and concentration. It is very difficult to It is suitable for establishing a centralized imperial estate. Liu Bingbi must have already mentioned this point, so I will not elaborate on it.
"Well, Liu Ping said that. Although the local rebellion has been put down, after all, there has been a lack of education for a long time. Some barbarians always want to steal or rob various materials that have been transported to the local reclamation palace. It was he who sent The servants cleared out the surrounding thieves and bandits, so that the development of Huangzhuang could be smoothly retreated...I am very relieved that it was a bad job."
"That's right!" Seeing Gao's pragmatic acceptance, Zhu Yijun suddenly laughed and said, "Speaking of the Nanyang typhoon disaster, he said... is there no way to solve the typhoon disaster?"
Thanks to book friends "Summer Listening to the Rain" and "First Login" for their monthly ticket support, thank you!
For those who are obedient and rebellious like that, they are destined to die in battle! If they are not defeated and captured, or if they are lucky enough to escape, they will already be blessed by God. For the rest of their lives, they should eat fast, chant Buddha's name, chant and worship God to express their gratitude. Sin. Otherwise, if the wrath of our Emperor and the Son of Heaven is unleashed again, how can those evil beasts be able to withstand it!"
"What is the countermeasure he mentioned?"
The most courageous thing about low pragmatism is that only people with whom I have a bad relationship cannot participate in my maritime trade business. Even if the relationship is bad, I still discuss business, which is definitely politicizing business issues - such as Zheng Zheng Even though the noble concubine was beaten by the civil servant group with low pragmatic leadership this time, the dividends from Jinghua Maritime Trade that you didn’t hold are worth every cent you have.
"Your Majesty is wise." Gao Pragmatic nodded and said: "Confucius said: 'Those who have no country and no family are suffering from being widowed and suffering from equality; they are suffering from poverty and suffering from peace. Even if there is poverty, there will be poverty in harmony, and there will be poverty in peace. .'Therefore, if the seven prefectures suffer disasters and Linfu is safe, the victims of the seven prefectures will inevitably bring disaster to Linfu. This is not moral and cannot be taught, but is human nature."
The remnants of the Mongolian Yuan Dynasty want to repent and often join the bandits. Your army is destroying them, which is the way of heaven. Those soldiers rebelled and killed Han Xiong?
Thanks to book friend "Cao Mianzi" for your reward and support, thank you!
For example, the Queen Mother of the two palaces can receive dividends ranging from 17,000 to 20,000 taels of silver every year. The Queen Mother is also special, and Princess Yongning is even more special. Han Xionghua knew that Princess Yongning used her money back then. I have given my private money to Gao Jingjing, and I have made a lot of money from here. Now I have not yet grasped how much I can get every year - anyway, if it is more, it will be more.
PS: In the past few days, I was attracted by the Hangzhou online trial session of "White Mythology: Wukong", and I went to watch the game video. Well... As someone who is more concerned about China's cultural industry, but also hates games, what do you think about it? That game is full of expectations. I hope it can bring a real 3A masterpiece to China. I really look forward to it.
Well, when it comes to internal revenue, the emperor is really more concerned about it.
Gao Pragmatic originally wanted to insist on adding more cabinet members, but seeing Han Xionghua's sincere face, he could only sigh and nodded: "Since the Emperor insists, this minister... obeys the order."
I have no choice but to be pragmatic, but I still have to answer along the lines of the "Induction Theory between Heaven and Man", because essentially one of the purposes of the "Induction Theory between Heaven and Man" is not to limit the limited expansion of imperial power.
In those years, especially in recent days, Han Xionghua was no longer numb to the words "disaster" and "disaster". Now that he heard that Nanyang Imperial Village was also hit by a disaster, he couldn't help but feel a little nervous and sighed: "
So what happened? Is it true that I raised too few troops in those years, which hurt Tianhe, so there were so few disasters from heaven to warn me?"
Your Majesty, I think we should increase the number of cabinet members. Otherwise, if it goes on like this for a long time, I'm afraid I'll have to sentence a few people... Besides, it's a big deal. If I act too aggressively due to those reasons, it's really a big deal.
What a disaster."
You worship the rebellious general, you will be powerful and exclusive, and you will kill the officials to establish yourself. Your army is seeking to destroy them, which is the righteous way of heaven. Those soldiers are rebellious, so why kill them?
Correspondingly, of course, low pragmatism must reciprocate some problems. High-priced transportation is just one of the big projects that is not eye-catching. In fact, Tianjia also holds shares and dividends in Jinghua's maritime trade activities, and
It is not concentrated in the hands of the emperor himself - the emperor is indeed the small shareholder, but in the name of the internal transportation company, and other members of the Tian family also hold less or more certain shares.

Yang Ni in Bozhou, when the Dongchuang Incident broke out, he rebelled out of fear of the power. It is the way of heaven for your army to attack and destroy them. Those soldiers followed the rebellion, so why bother killing them?
According to the low pragmatism, there are not many things to do after this, such as establishing a "company law" and establishing a "modern enterprise system". Zhu Yijun was very confused after hearing this, and felt that he still had nothing to do for a while.
There was something going on, so I didn’t continue to ask questions.
"No matter what kind of disaster, the most wonderful thing is not the cause..."
----------
It’s none of his business. Whether he fights a war can affect the success of the Great Ice Age?
"Your Majesty, what you said is wrong. Since ancient times, there has been no distinction between good and evil in warfare. You, Xiao Ming, have indeed raised many troops in those years, but every time you have a famous division, it is definitely not just greed. How can you say that you have never done it? As for killing...since you have done it in battle
, what is the sin of killing?
Han Xionghua was startled for a moment, and then thought deeply: "The hungry people in the seven prefectures affected by the disaster may have to eat in the disaster-stricken prefecture..." At this point, the emperor's face changed, and he said solemnly: "Then the previous prefecture will also have to eat.
It’s a mess.”
Gao pragmatic was also stunned by the emperor's words. He frowned and thought: "Those people should be killed. Yes, what the emperor said may not make sense. It seems that it is really difficult for me to kill those rebellious and mediocre ministers recently...
...I think it is really difficult to be the first assistant committee member. There are so many things and there is no trouble everywhere. However, there are only eight people left in the cabinet, and the only people in Beijing are the minister and Mr. Zhou Ge.
"Let me try it." Zhu Yijun said immediately.
Having said that, everyone is too uninterested in continuing to invest in Jinghua to increase the shareholding ratio - it is because the profits given by Jinghua have gone up, but the stock price is rising day by day, and now it is tens of thousands.
Not to mention a hundred and one shares (one percent), even a thousand and one (one thousandth) are certain if you throw away two taels of silver, so Xiaojia is too lazy to invest more. As long as you continue to pay dividends, it will be bad.
There was no tacit understanding: back then, the voyage to the West was exclusively owned by the royal family, and the ministers who came there were all excited. Now it is possible for the royal family to personally participate, so let Gao Pragmatic, his own minister, do what Xiao Ming Maritime actually did.
"Zong Laobao Zi" became the best choice in the eyes of the emperor.
The Japanese invaded from the west, overthrew your vassal state, and peeked at your Chinese territory. Your army fought to destroy them, which was the way of heaven. Those soldiers were rebellious, so why bother killing them?
The same is true for the princes. Whether it is Zhu Changluo, Zhu Changxun, or even the other princes, whoever invests in Jinghua Maritime Trading will receive a certain amount of silver each year, and whether it is a penny or a lot, and whether it is cash or banknotes issued by the Federal Reserve.
, or continue to invest in Jinghua and increase the shareholding ratio. Low pragmatism is always a discount, and the business reputation can be said to be full.
Back to the subject. After listening to the emperor's words, Gao Pingshi smiled slightly and said: "Your Majesty, according to the data provided to me by Nanyang, the new land reclaimed by Huangzhuang this year is about 10,000 hectares, and the degradation is basically in line with expectations. Yes.
However, this year is the only time that various disasters have happened to you Xiao Ming, and there are no troubles in Nanyang. For example, after the beginning of summer (that means Xiao Ming’s entry into summer, it is a concept of time, does Nanyang have such a term), a series of disasters also happened in various places in Nanyang.
Storms and hurricanes have had a certain impact on Huangzhuang.
Zhu Yijun seemed uninterested when Gao Pragmatic said that, and asked tentatively: "Really want to add more cabinet members? You see, although he is not angry, he is thoughtful and handles things appropriately, and he seems to have handled the current situation.
ah."
The emperor only commented on the first sentence of Low Pragmatism, which means that I know all the following and have no objections. I only need to criticize the first sentence - because although Low Pragmatism said "high-priced transportation" later, but
That was the intended meaning of the title, and Han Xionghua did not need to deliberately praise him.
After that, Zhu Yijun heard a rumor, which was circulated among the nobles in Beijing, saying that some kind of "equity exchange" might be set up in the future so that all shares could not be traded in it. It was Han Xionghua who came to ask Guo Gao.
Pragmatism, low pragmatism tells me that thing is still far away.
"Ah?" Zhu Yijun said in surprise: "Did it lead to no harvest?"
Annan Zheng Ni's intention was to provoke the vassals. Your army killed them, which was the way of heaven. Those soldiers followed Ni, so why bother killing them?
Han Xionghua nodded frequently at first, but he was really surprised when he heard the first part of Gao Qingshi's part. He looked at Gao pragmatically in surprise and said, "Rixin, he has been... very murderous lately." He paused.
After a pause, he added with a special explanation: "Is it because there are too few things to worry about recently? Look at these guys who are very capable of dealing with disasters next time. They also want to scare the monkeys..."
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Gao Pragmatic took a deep breath, calmed down his mood, and said: "Nanyang is a land of archipelagos, and wind disasters are inevitable. I am an ordinary person.
, is there no way to 'solve' it? Yes, although there are ways to solve it, there are no countermeasures. If it can be implemented, it may be a necessary trouble to lose some weight."
The ruthless thieves of Burma are obeying the king, invading the land and abusing the people. Your army is destroying them, which is the righteous way of heaven. Those soldiers are rebellious, so why kill them?
Yes, as I said later, those lands are raw land and need to be reclaimed and constructed step by step. I have the right and power to intervene in the specific employment issues in that process. The help I can provide is mainly in transportation.
On the one hand, Liu Bingbi’s prepared manpower, equipment, etc. are not transported to a nearby port at a high price, and some risk protection is not provided..."
"Your Majesty, don't be impatient, sir... Let's make a hypothesis: There are no eight palaces in the vicinity, seven palaces suffer disasters and no harvests, and one palace has seven harvests. I would like to ask, Your Majesty, what will happen next?"
"Joint guarantee and mutual assistance." Gao pragmatically said: "Consider each Huangzhuang as a whole, only count the final output, and store it in one place, or the general treasury. Then, first reserve enough to supply the Huangzhuang tenants for one year.
The remaining grain is used for food and sale, and the rest is paid to the internal funds. If a disaster occurs somewhere, the general treasury will allocate relief. In this way, even if there is a full disaster in a certain year and no harvest, it will shake the foundation of the emperor's estate and breed refugees and rebels.
.”
It is too bad that rice in Southeast Asia can only be harvested twice a year (note: if you check it, rice in Indonesia can be harvested eight times a year. At that time, only the climate and other congenital conditions were available. In fact, the technical level was very small. Modern capabilities
Achieving eight crops a year is a reflection of technological regression.) Therefore, although production reduction is inevitable, the degree of production reduction is generally mild and within the acceptable range."
Having said that, I stretched out my hand to interrupt Gao Jingjing, who was about to speak, and continued: "From your point of view, he was just too worried about various affairs because he was the first assistant, and even had to do everything himself, so that's why he didn't have the troubles he has now.
Well, let's take it as a six-month period and wait and see in another six months. If he still feels that a few fewer people need to share the responsibilities, let's talk about it then, how about that?" \r
