    "In the beginning, China was only the land of Kyushu. Now, how many counties are there in the world? How many people are there?" Uncle Gao Shilian sighed and said slowly and deeply.  "Jiuzhou is only a few counties in the Central Plains. During the Qin Dynasty, the world was divided into thirty-six counties, and later increased to sixty-four counties. In the second year of Yuanshi by Emperor Ping of the Western Han Dynasty, there were a total of one hundred and three counties, which governed counties and marquises.  There are 1,587 county-level administrative divisions such as states, cities, and provinces, which are several times more than those in the Qin Dynasty. In the former dynasty, there were a total of 190 counties, and the territory was wider than that of the Han Dynasty.  Far better than Qin" "There is an old saying, everything under the sky is the king's land; the people who lead the land are the king's ministers. This is the truth that our Chinese nation has practiced since ancient times. However, the vastness of the world cannot be achieved by one generation.  , Therefore, for thousands of years, we, the Chinese sages, have worked hard to expand the territory of China, educate the people, and enable the people of the world to benefit from the blessings of the Chinese sages Therefore, although the land of Han is stronger than that of Qin, the world is subdued.  The foreigners were regarded as Han people. By the time of the former dynasty, the territory was even greater. However, who among the people within the territory of the former dynasty would not be proud of their status? Even those foreigners are willing to serve me, China  "My uncle's words were spoken very slowly, and each sentence seemed to take a long time to be considered carefully. However, the expressions of everyone in the hall became more and more solemn, with a mix of shame, surprise, and excitement.  "I have been reading the books of sages for a long time, but I also know that things change with time." After the uncle picked up the tea cup and took a sip, he did not look at the people present.  "In ancient times, were there cotton cloths wrapped around the body to protect against the severe cold? Was there a straight road to unblock the blood of the empire? In order to protect the people from disasters, the soldiers of the empire had to save the lives of the people even if they did not care about their own lives. These are all  The changes, however, have brought me great benefits. Although I am far away in the barbaric land, I can still see clearly. "Is it possible that you are not as good as me, an old man with dim eyesight?"  , the uncle sighed deeply, lowered his eyebrows and closed his eyes and stopped talking.  Kong Yingda took a deep breath, stood up, straightened his clothes and sleeves, put his hat on his head, and then bowed respectfully to his uncle.  "The Preface to Guanyong of Zhounan in Poetry" says: Beauty educates and changes customs; "Book of Rites¡¤Jingjing" says: Therefore, the enlightenment of etiquette is also slight, and its ability to stop evil is not yet formed The meaning of the word "teaching" is,  It is to teach people what they don¡¯t know and to take care of their shortcomings. It is to make the people aware of the past and do good deeds, and to save the lost ones.  The businessman knows how to transfer money, and the workman knows how to build the pillars all are due to the teaching. " "The characters are transformed from two people, like two people facing each other, one is forward and the other is reverse, to show the change.  Also. Xu Hao said: "Dagger changes the ancient and modern characters, and knows the way of change." In "Yi Xici Zhuan", Yu notes: it is called change in yang, and it is called change in yin; Xun's note: spring and summer are changes.  Change, Qiu and winter are transformed, and Kun is transformed into things. "Xunzi Correcting Names" has a note: "Transformers change the name of the old form." "L¨¹ Shi Chunqiu Cha Jin" also says, "Change, can be transformed."  Now, it can transform one's mind, it can transform one's mind, it can transform one's mind, it can transform one's mind, it can transform one's mind, and it can change one's governance strategy The combination of the two words is called enlightenment. We, the scholars, should be able to understand the truth through reading, but we can't.  Many books only understand the principles but do not understand the reasons. Therefore, when the world changes, there are mistakes in the scholars who cannot convert the people. " "From the time of the Three Emperors and the Five Emperors, it is the responsibility of the wise to educate all people.  It is also the words of our Confucian sages." Kong Yingda's literary talent is indeed quite good, and he has read a lot of books, so he can be so knowledgeable.  And his words are more able to attract these civil servants who love classical Chinese.  He was also talking about enlightenment. He used the ancient sages and countries to connect them with the current Chinese empire and its subjects, and gave a very admirable speech.  The old guy's ideas are not very different from mine, but he is able to excerpt from the sentences of ancient sages that are suitable for the current stage and the current situation to express his opinions and  View.  At this point, I, who only like to be practical, are far from my opponent.  I admire this old man very much. He is a great Confucian of the world. Scholars all over the world regard him as a teacher and a great Confucian who is willing to be his disciple. His words can make scholars all over the world follow his wishes.  Thinking about what happened at the Royal Academy back then, just because of his words, thousands of students came from all over the world to apply for admission to the academy, for the sake of this great Confucian whose reputation and character were known all over the world.  But now, he is on my side, using his wisdom and knowledge to convince these important civil and military ministers. After all, what he obeys and what he abides by is not the benefit in writing, but the benefit of the world.  It is also the great cause of the nation.  "Your Majesty, I have a question, please clarify it." After saying that, Kong Yingda turned around and saluted me solemnly when he saw the thoughtful expressions on the faces of the civil and military ministers.  .  "You may say what you say, but if I can explain it, I will explain it for you." I nodded and said.  "Your Majesty, what I am confused about is, how can your Majesty make the people leave their homes and cross the ocean? I don't know whether to lure them with benefits or to suppress them with power?" Kong Yingda looked at me calmly and asked.  ??Outside the transparent and clear glass window, the spring rain looks more and more sluggish, warm and cool,It's annoying, but full of poetry and lingering.  I looked at the rain outside, the spring rain that shrouded the world in haze, and remained silent for a long time.  All the ministers¡¯ eyes fell on my face, as if they wanted to see something strange in my expression, or perhaps see my thoughts.  After looking at it for a long time, until the corners of my eyes became astringent and my eyes felt sore, I blinked, withdrew my gaze, and looked at the clear and clear tea cup in front of me.  "Two choices, the first one is to use profit to lure the people to leave the people they have not left for thousands of years, flee thousands of miles across the ocean, and go to a place where there is nothing and everything needs their hands to create.  A barbarous land. Another example is the policy implemented by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, or the countless previous dynasties who ordered people to move there. " "The previous policy took a long time, not thirty or fifty years.  It can be accomplished. The next strategy, with the power of our court, can be accomplished in one fell swoop. However, this strategy will not only alienate the people from the court, but also make China unsuitable for what the previous dynasty did" Chapter  The second strategy was used by many dynasties. For example, when Qin Shihuang established his capital in Xianyang, he also filled the capital with a large number of citizens.  During the Han Dynasty, in the second year of Yuanshuo, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty issued an edict, and the world-famous hero Guo Xie was forced to flee. His final destination was Taiyuan, an important town in the north.  In order to enrich the capital, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty ordered wealthy households in each county with more than three million in national assets to move to Maoling.  During the Sui Dynasty, when Yang Guang moved his capital to Luoyang, he also drove wealthy merchants from Guanzhong to move there to make Luoyang prosperous.  "These are all based on orders and the will of the court. If you want to disobey them, I'm afraid there are not many people in the world who have the courage.  However, such a will and will will cause dissatisfaction among many people. ????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? ?? ????????????????????????????? And if it is the first strategy, how much courage does it take for these people to want a farmer who has managed to earn a good living by guarding a few acres of thin farmland in his hometown to leave his hometown and drag his family with him thousands of miles away to survive?  Therefore, it is necessary to persuade, influence, and even mobilize for a long time, relying on public opinion and word of mouth to attract these people. However, such a method is both manpower-consuming and material-resource-consuming, and it will take thirty or fifty years of work.  Success is no lie.  "So, I will only use the former strategy." Looking at these pairs of eyes with expectation, or longing for answers, I solemnly and slowly gave my answer.  "No matter how much time I spend, I will never force the people to leave their homes." "Your Majesty's ability to think so is a blessing to China for eternity." Wei Zheng stood up and fell to the ground first.  Afterwards, more than twenty people in the hall prostrated themselves on the ground.  "My lords, please rise. I am doing this not only for the present, but also for the future." I stood up and raised my hands to support many civil and military ministers. After watching them stand up, I continued.  "If I did the right thing, then I will make it a custom-made one. All future emperors and courts should abide by it." "If times change and improvements are needed, they must be approved by the National Assembly before the cabinet can implement them." I scanned  He glanced at all the important ministers in the palace and said solemnly.  "Your Majesty, please rest assured that I will record my words in the annals of history, so that future generations will be alert and must not make the mistakes of their predecessors again." All ministers obeyed.  The first strategy is easier said than done. The final result of the discussion is that it is best to inform the Chinese Imperial soldiers stationed in central and southern Cochin and Luzon Island, telling them that if they are willing to stay there, they can move their families with them.  If so, then each household will receive ten hectares of land, and no taxes will be levied on them within five years. In addition, the state will provide them with free housing, farm tools, and daily necessities.  In addition, the state will charge the market price for the food or sugar cane they grow.  In addition, after five years, only half of the tax needs to be paid.  If businessmen do business in these places, their taxes will be halved in the first five years.  Within five years, taxes were only 80% of those in the Central Plains.  Although it is only a 20% reduction, if you are doing big business, you can save more than 100,000 yuan in tax expenditure at a glance.  These strategies, these methods, and these ideas were all discussed and formed in meetings again and again, and were gradually put into words and recorded. And this was just the beginning, or in other words, this was just the beginning of the Chinese Empire.  The first step towards the outside of China's territory, the first step towards the prototype of the colonial empire.  And, it will lay a solid and good foundation for the future expansion of the Chinese Empire.  "Your Majesty do you really want your Highness to go down?" Wei Zheng's eyebrows were tightly pressed together and he looked at me in surprise.  Even Kong Yingda also looked stunned.
