Changfeng Thousands of Miles End Han Song

Chapter 875
The Cholas bowed their heads and admitted defeat. Kurudonga Chola II had no choice but to admit defeat in humiliation when the land and sea armies of Lu and Qi came to the city of Thanjavur. Ceylon has since become China's possession.

A large number of gold and precious stones were directly transported back to the Central Plains as war compensation.A small golden mountain was erected at the Jinling Wharf, dotted with precious stones, shining with extreme brilliance, which caused a sensation in all walks of life.

For the first time, the people of the Central Plains had the most intuitive understanding of the wealth of Tianzhu.

No amount of written propaganda can compare to the real money that can be seen with the naked eye.

Ceylon, the kingdom of gemstones, has also exploded in popularity through word of mouth.This is the attraction of wealth.

Emperor Lu was very pleased to see the hot discussion among the people about Tianzhu, but when this 'hot discussion' spread to the princes, it looked unbeautiful.But in fact, the root cause of this matter was traced back to him, Emperor Lu himself who provoked it.

In order to let people from all walks of life have a better understanding of Tianzhu, the overseas column of "News" made an "in-depth" introduction to Tianzhu by taking advantage of the previous waves.

The most important thing is the birth of the caste system and its impact for thousands of years.

This influence is firm and unshakable in Tianzhu.There are strict barriers between castes, and even if the dynasty changes, the caste level is not easy to change.

It has made countless Chinese people disdain Tianzhu from the bottom of their hearts. For the Chinese dialect that has had the thought of "man will conquer nature" since the Middle Ages, and for the Chinese dialect that some people have shouted "the princes and generals have kindness" more than 1000 years ago. , the caste system is completely unreasonable and unthinkable.

For a time, a contempt from the soul was sent to Tianzhu by countless people.

This is like China in the era of rabbits in later generations. At that time, few Chinese people looked up to Tianzhu as a country, or regarded Tianzhu as a competitor of China.Even though Tianzhu's IT industry is well-known to everyone, and gpd has already entered the top ten in the world, countless Chinese people despise them.The "caste system" is one of the most direct reasons.

As long as its extremely complicated and acute internal contradictions are not sorted out, it poses no threat to China in the eyes of countless Chinese people.

They have a population comparable to that of China. However, the caste system and racial segregation left in the society in the 21st century make this country full of sharp social contradictions. demographic dividend.

Countless people in the country despise Tianzhu, and scholars criticize the "caste system" loudly in newspapers. This is a great opportunity for them to "show their faces".But some people saw another possibility from it.

"If Fu Guogong [Old Nine] can go to Tianzhu, then the mouse fell into the rice warehouse and really entered the Fuwo..." said a member of the Zhao family.

Xinfu is not bad.It can even be said that it is already very good.Over the years, Xinfu, as the private land of the Nanyang Navy, has moved many Han people there like ants moving a little bit, laying a solid foundation for it.Not to mention that copper mines have been explored and developed...

It is no exaggeration to say that the area is not small, Xinfu is very close to the Central Plains and has a good foundation. It is definitely a "treasure place".

Even if there is no more room for development in the future, it is enough to be enviable.This is the benefit that the Zhao family got by selling their ancestors. Emperor Lu said that no matter how coveted you are, no one can change it.

Even the tiniest sound can make a difference.Don't look at the calm and calm inside Lu Qi's royal family, but in fact, under the seemingly calm sea, there has long been a raging undercurrent fueling the flames.History moves forward, and the royal family of ten years ago is very different from that of ten years from now.

Just like there is no comparison between teenagers and children of several years old.

The Zhao family is very self-aware. They have done Emperor Lu a big favor, but this does not mean that they can keep their tails high.For ten years, they were "obscure" and even several trading houses were anonymous.

As the mastermind of the Zhao family, Zhao Bushi thinks that the Zhao family's face is not that big, but Tianzhu is really a place that people can't bear to part with.That place is not a place for an ambitious person, or it is not a place for a person of "Great Chineseism", because the local "bad habits" are deeply rooted, and it is simply impossible to turn it into a piece of Han soil. Ten times harder than conquering it.But for a group of people who only pursue wealth and honor, that place is heaven.

"Although the land of Tianzhu has flaws, it is easier to rule. You must know that those who rule the world with my Zhao family have never been those mud-legged people, but the scholars and bureaucrats of the world. How similar are they to Brahmins and Kshatriyas?"

All dynasties and dynasties need the support of wealthy and powerful families, so that the world will be stable.From the formation of aristocratic families in the middle of the Han Dynasty to the wars of the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms that completely smashed these aristocratic families, Zhao Song "inherited the past and ushered in the future" and replaced the aristocratic families with large-scale imperial examination expansion.Doing so can quickly gather a wave of people who are loyal to the Zhao family. In a sense, this imperial examination is a channel for blood transfusion to the Zhao family, providing it with a steady stream of "talents".And when these 'talents' are all over the government and the public, how can the foundation of the Zhao family be unshakable?At the same time, the military power was confiscated, and the military was controlled by literature, which perfectly solved the disadvantages of domineering warriors and generals taking power.

Even based on the fear of the phenomenon of "Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms" military generals usurping the throne, this policy became the national policy of Zhao Song.

In a sense, the selection of scholars through the imperial examination replaced the status of the family members, and the "scholars" who were selected became the new "family members".

Such as the Han family, such as the Fan family...

People all over the world "abandon martial arts and follow literature", and throwing pens to join the army has become a masterpiece, especially those outstanding children of "big families", who spend their entire lives writing classics, which is the secret of governing the world through literature.

In China, Zhao Song also had to worry about "children from poor families", but in Tianzhu, he needed to worry about a bird?Just change sharing the world with scholar-bureaucrats into sharing the world with higher castes.

Implement imperial examinations in Tianzhu, at least promote Confucianism among the higher castes, and implement imperial examinations to select scholars—at least on the bright side, a model must be formed. If you want to be an official, you must study Confucius and Mencius, and you must take the imperial examination!
Then if the high caste is settled, how can Tianzhu be unstable?With their backs to Lu Qichao, how could they not enjoy wealth and honor in peace?

Such a temptation is irresistible for Zhao Song's clan.

Even Zhao Bushi looked at the map of Tianzhu and felt that it was necessary to give it a try. Once successful, the entire Zhao and Song clan would be rich and wealthy.You know, it is not Zhao Song's royal family that Zhao does not try to be 'loyal', but the entire Zhao clan.

The era is driven by little people.Interest is like an undercurrent hidden under the sea surface, pulling 'people' in a direction that no one can predict.No one can predict whether it will be a ferocious storm, a sinister reef, or a brilliant sun to greet him at the next moment.

But there is no doubt that this 'start' initiated by the Zhao family hit a rock head first.

Zhao Bushi was dispatched to the Northwest.

Tianzhu is a part of China's interests in the future, and there will naturally be vassal kings entrusted there, but it is completely different from other vassal kings.

To put it bluntly, the vassal kings who were entrusted to other places were almost complete kings, while the vassal kings who were entrusted to Tianzhu were just vassal kings from beginning to end.

——Tianzhu will be Lu Qi's colony, a colony in the true sense.

At the earliest time, Lu Qian thought that the prince who was sealed in the northwest could bring the hungry wolves from the grassland to Tianzhu, and then dye the whole Tianzhu yellow.

But now he felt that it was completely unnecessary. Tianzhu's resistance was far beyond his expectation.In this case, the herdsmen on the northern prairie would be better off following the army to the west.

And Zhao Bushi, who was very restless, also made Lu Qian feel more comfortable going to the Northwest to be honest.
