Chongzhen Undergraduates

"Then tell me, if you were an official here, how would you develop this place?" Zhu Youjian's curiosity came.

"First of all, the people here are too lazy, they just want to eat enough. Therefore, the people here can't expect too much. What is there? The most is land, but so much land can't do anything, It's a pity to waste it here for nothing. It's best to sell it to the people of Daming, they are the most diligent, and within three years, it is guaranteed to be a big granary." Chen Tingjing said.

"It's nice to say, which commoner is willing to travel thousands of miles to farm here? It's not like the Ming Dynasty can't survive." Zhu Youjian said with a smile.

"Damn me, I didn't mean that." Chen Tingjing was too young to realize that he had slipped his mouth.

"Okay, I don't blame you. Your suggestion is still very useful, but this method has to attract more talents." Zhu Youjian encouraged Chen Tingjing.

"Your Majesty, I think this kid is right." Li Yan walked over from a distance and said, "Land transfer is prohibited in China, but the people of Ming Dynasty have a habit of saving money, so their savings have nowhere to go. How about Let go of this hole in North America, allowing people with financial resources to buy land and participate in the large-scale development here."

"I see that you want to bring all the rich people of Ming Dynasty here!" Zhu Youjian laughed and said with a smile.

"Hahaha, I don't need any money from selling the land, as long as someone comes over." Li Yan said.

"With the start of the gold digging fever in the west, some people will still get rich. Why don't we use the land here to collect all the gold in their hands, so as not to flow to the people." Zhu Youjian continued. : "In addition, in order to prevent the emergence of large landlords, the county system should be divided, and the state stipulates that no family can own more than a certain number of hectares of land in a certain county at the same time, so as to avoid the dominance of one family."

"It's not that I don't care about my own land. Only by selling these lands to individuals can they develop well. I suggest that we should not give ownership to the indigenous people in the Great Lakes area according to the previous policy. Now that we are stronger, we don't need to win over anyone, just directly Accept all the orders. Classify all the aborigines here into the slave class, and then turn them into full-fledged citizens through their performance." Li Yan's expression was serious, not like a temporary idea.

"What do you mean?" Zhu Youjian didn't understand.

"There are too many people here, and it is inevitable that there will be moths in the future." Li Yan said.

Zhu Youjian instantly understood Li Yan's worry. When the ethnic groups in a region are large enough, even if they don't make trouble for the time being, they will definitely jump out and become moths when they develop to a certain level.

"But there are so many people, and I don't want to waste them in vain. It's all manpower." Zhu Youjian is not cruel, he still hopes to use appropriate means to achieve his goal.

"In the past, all the six countries said: Qin is the teacher of tigers and wolves. That's because Qin adopted the military title system. The emperor should know that the system before Qin was slavery, and then feudalism. The minister thought that slavery could be adopted first, and then Introduce the military merit title system and give people here a clear future. Tell them the truth that only suffering in this world can achieve success." Li Yan talked eloquently.

"Put them into hell first, and then tell them that if they want freedom, they can fight for it by themselves, and the process of fighting for it is not too difficult, and it won't anger them. Good way!" Zhu Youjian praised.

In the distance, the little crow was leading a large group of natives slowly past.Also the aboriginals in North America, if not long ago, the aborigines in the Great Lakes region were more civilized and richer than the little crows.But now, judging only by their clothes, they were far less glamorous than Little Crow and his men.

"Damn it, you stinky slaves walk so slowly." The little crow slammed a whip on an aborigine with a look of disgust on his face.

This is the reality, the little crow has been completely assimilated by a more civilized way of life, so he looks down on these people of the same race.The slavery system can best inspire the evil in human nature, and nakedly embody class antagonism.I am the master, then everything is better than you, this point of view is vividly and exquisitely reflected in the little crow.

"General Little Crow, how much are your slaves?" Zhu Youjian watched the little crow passing by, and asked with interest.

"Three coins for the big one, and one coin for the small one." The little crow grinned.

The so-called money is the price of a bag of salt, or a cow.Little crows and the others sell slaves and don't understand people's currency system, so they simply calculate according to the amount of meat. Of course, they prefer salt.A strong adult slave is only worth three bags of salt money.

"What about the smallest one?" Zhu Youjian asked, pointing to the aboriginal baby in the swaddle.

"Throw those kinds into the lake to feed the fish." The little crow said nonchalantly.

"The youngest ones in the future, and those under two years old, I'll give you five dollars for one. How about it?" Zhu Youjian stretched out a slap, in fact, he really wanted to slap the little crow.

"Really?" The little crow was excited. He didn't actually throw the baby into the lake, but many babies tend to die in the course of the war.The little crow is also worried that there is no place to sell it.

"Really. Give them to me, as much as I want." Zhu Youjian said.

Chapter 7: Smallpox

"There are so many children, I'm afraid it's not easy to take care of them! How will they live without the grandma?" Li Yan said.

"The pasture has been built, and milk and goat milk can feed people. The best assimilation is to let as many aboriginals as possible learn our way of life from an early age. This money should be subsidized by my family! However, these The child will only be at my disposal in the future, do you have any objection?" Zhu Youjian rolled his eyes and made another calculation in his mind.

"Your Majesty's kind deed, how can I have any objection." Li Yan replied.

Li Yan guessed Zhu Youjian's thoughts silently, and he suddenly remembered something. Since the establishment of the first orphanage in Sichuan, the queen has been in charge of dozens of orphanages in Daming.But he has been the chief assistant for many years, but the court has never known the final destination of these children when they grow up.

"I will let the queen send someone to take care of this matter. I can guarantee that the death rate of these children is lower than staying with their mothers." When Zhu Youjian said this, the confidence in his eyes was very strong. firm.

"As expected," Li Yan thought to himself.

Class antagonism is extremely cruel. Even if the Ming people did not participate in dividing the class of the aborigines, once this rule is established, someone will always be hurt.

The sound of the whip whipping the body came one after another, and accompanied by the whip, there were screams of pain one after another.

"You didn't teach this, did you?" Zhu Youjian asked a soldier with an ugly expression on his face.

"We have never taught them such things. On the contrary, we often help those aborigines who are suffering." The soldier lowered his head and tried not to look at those cruel scenes.

"It seems that the little crows have learned everything about slavery, and some things are really not taught." Zhu Youjian was quite emotional.

A large group of shirtless men, with one hand and one foot bound like a kebab, are desperately cutting down trees; while other older people are pruning branches; all the wood transporters are young People, with iron chains around their necks, a dozen people were chained together.

Farther away is a huge construction site, rows of wooden houses are being erected, and outside the wooden houses is a huge wooden fence.The soldiers in the clothes were the soldiers of the Sioux tribe, and only they could be equipped with iron refrigeration weapons and monitor the entire construction site.

But suffering never has a bottom line. When Zhu Youjian looked at the bustling crowd with his binoculars, he happened to see a young man fall down.Immediately afterwards, due to a mistake by one person, the dozen or so young people who were tied to him all fell into the half-water and half-mud swamp.

"...￥￥" After a while, this sudden incident immediately attracted the attention of the supervisors, and a small group of indigenous soldiers ran towards the group of young people with whips.

"Ah" To Zhu Youjian's surprise, there was no sound of whips in the distance this time. On the contrary, the group of soldiers swarmed away like encountering wild animals, shouting loudly while running.

"What's going on? What happened?" Of course, this abnormal phenomenon attracted everyone's attention, so Li Yan hurriedly asked.

After a while, someone came to report on a fast horse.

"My Majesty, Your Majesty: Please leave here immediately, those people have the plague." The soldier's face was terrified, obviously frightened.

"Plague?" When Li Yan heard this, his face was ashen with fright, and he immediately glanced at Zhu Youjian.

The horror of the plague is terrifying, not to mention that Zhu Youjian is here, if the emperor is infected with the plague, it will not be a trivial matter.

"Don't panic, first send the imperial doctor to see what the disease is." Zhu Youjian was actually very scared in his heart. He was not sure if this body could resist it, but if in later generations, children who were vaccinated with various vaccines did not So fragile.

Zhu Youjian's accompanying imperial doctor was not built, and they quickly came to a result: someone here got smallpox.

"It turned out to be smallpox. Now that we know the cause, we should implement isolation as soon as possible!" When Zhu Youjian confirmed that it was smallpox, he was relieved.

Smallpox is one of the oldest infectious diseases with the highest mortality rate. It is highly contagious and serious. Anyone who has never suffered from smallpox or has not been vaccinated against smallpox can be infected. The main manifestation is severe viremia. Mortality is high.

Numerous documents point out that the smallpox virus did not exist in the American continent and was introduced by Europeans.Smallpox killed more Indians than colonists.Now, the smallpox here is obviously not introduced by Europeans.

"To cure acne, only I, Ming Dynasty, have this technology in the world today, and no one else." Li Yan also breathed a sigh of relief.

Li Yan's words were not aimless. In the [-]th century, when the whole world was helpless against the smallpox epidemic, the Chinese had already developed the treatment method of "vaccinating pox" to fight poison with poison.But the vaccination in this period was "human pox". The Europeans once sent people to learn China's vaccination technology.

Later, the Europeans discovered "vaccinia" and increased the success rate of the cure to nearly 100%.However, vaccinia was discovered on the basis of human pox, and the doctor thought it would work.

"What I mean is to save the children first, because children's resistance is weak. Our medical conditions are limited, so we must save the next generation first." Zhu Youjian said.

It is a tragic scene for adults to leave their children.No matter what methods the soldiers use, they can't give up the love between mother and child.When the epidemic spread throughout the slave camp, the riots began.

"What should we do? Those natives won't let us enter the camp." The little crow was offended. If Zhu Youjian hadn't ordered to stop killing casually, he would have started killing people.
