Chapter 887 Sealing the Country [Continued]

In fact, there are not a few closed states with financial difficulties like Lu State [Luzhou Bo State].It is the most powerful Ming Dynasty, which also borrowed astronomical amounts of loans from Zhongyuan Bank, Financial Bank, and the Industrial and Commercial Bank of China, Construction Bank, and Development Bank that were newly established in the past ten years.For this reason, he did not hesitate to take out the right to operate the port, the right to build roads, and even the right to customs and salt administration, etc. as collateral.

Do you think the agreements signed between Lu Qichao and the feudal states are familiar?This set is too "colonial".

In fact, this is just a method of Lu Qian, representing a kind of thought of his.

——How easy is it to build a country on flat land?Not to mention, the essence of these feudal states is invasion in nature, and there are living people here.It is even more difficult to turn it into a piece of imperial land.

Even though he had made all the preparations before, when he arrived at the "Feng Fan Jian Guo", he would find that there were too many things beyond his expectations. disappears.

Take the Ming Dynasty as an example, it is just a remnant of the Three Buddhas, how many troubles have they caused in these years?Soldiers and horses were dispatched frequently, but because of Sumatra's complex terrain, it was still impossible to cut the grass and roots.As a result, a series of internal conflicts were triggered. The local aborigines were very dishonest, so Fang La could only suppress them with hard hands, and it also made it difficult for the conflicts between the two to be effectively resolved.

And how much construction progress has been dragged down because of the rectification of "internal affairs"?
Not to mention Hunjianglong, who developed armaments from the very beginning, and kept his eyes on the feudal kingdom of Tianzhu.

The lives of all the feudal states are so difficult that they rely on "mortgage loans" to survive. As the head of the family, how could Emperor Lu not know?

In fact, Emperor Lu knew this clearly.

It can even be said that this kind of result was already expected by him before the establishment of overseas closures.He himself is more than happy to see the current situation emerge.

The banknotes in the bank are not attractive to him at all, and the gold and silver coins will not give him a baby, so it is more cost-effective to borrow them out.

Because loans always have interest, and the country always has to pay back the money it borrows.

Money is also most precious only when it fulfills its basic function.

Even though the port operation rights, road construction rights, and even customs authority and salt administration of various feudal countries are not worth much at all, this is more just a manifestation of the "rules" of Emperor Lu.

——Brothers settle accounts clearly.Even if it is the relationship between the suzerain country and the subordinate country, confusion is inevitable!
On the side, it is also showing grace.Let the feudal states mortgage something worthless, and then 'easily' get a large sum of money. This kind of "pretentious" method can easily earn a lot of gratitude for Emperor Lu. Affection.

He didn't really mean to treat Nanyang as a colony.

Otherwise, why are all the feudal countries now following the route of simultaneous development of workers and peasants?A true colony does not need to be fully developed.

Colonies were local raw material supply centers and dumping grounds for goods.Unlike the feudal countries in Southeast Asia, workers and peasants are developing in an all-round way.

Not to mention the entanglement of interests between these feudal countries and chambers of commerce and business gangs across the Central Plains.It cannot be said that all the industrial and commercial forces in the country are linked by the horse club, but there are at least seven or eight.

Through the matchmaking of the "Trade Bureau", the Fengguo and the commercial power of the Central Plains are perfectly combined.

The latter sprinkled large sums of real gold and silver to the various countries.It is much easier and quicker for big and small countries to borrow money from them than to ask banks for asset certification, and then make mortgage loans or issue bonds.It's just that the wealthy businessmen in the Central Plains are definitely not looking for the meager benefits of today, but are more investing in the future of the feudal countries.Compared with the state-owned banks in various countries, the nature of capital is much cleaner.

In today's era, the only economy in the world that has the capital to play the current "loan" system to various countries is China.

The news that Lu State borrowed money from the Chamber of Commerce quickly reached Lu Qian. The envoys of Honglu Temple stationed in various feudal states were not free earners.And almost together with this news, there was another letter from Li Jun - to send troops to the Polo Dynasty.

For such a matter, Lu Qian is no longer ready to take care of it.

Now his 'territory' is already too big, if he really wants to care about everything, he will be exhausted to death.Like Yelu Dashi's attack on the Ghaznavid dynasty, he is also prepared to give Li Jun enough freedom.

Since the founding of the country, Hunjianglong has been walking in a predatory mode, which is completely different from the Ming Dukedom, which closed its doors to farm.

He set his sights on the Polo Dynasty from the very beginning.The reason is of course not the belief in Buddhism of the Baltic Dynasty, but the prosperity and decline of the Baltic Dynasty.

Now Yelu Dashi's offensive against the Ghaznavid dynasty is very smooth. He has written to Jinling several times, promising to wipe out the Ghaznavids when his term of office expires, so that Ruo Afghanistan will also become Lu Qi's sphere of influence.That is to say, it opened the land road to North Tianzhu for China...

Therefore, Lu Qian sent Tian Hujun, who had nowhere to go until now.

At this time, Li Jun sent troops to attack the Baltic Dynasty [Bengal], wouldn't it complement each other?

"Le Qing, you said that if I add a topic in Qiu Wei, let the scholars discuss my strategy for getting along with the Central Plains and Tianzhu, what's the point?"

Tianzhu is a mouth-watering big piece of fat, and there are many conflicts among its countries, so there is no need to regard it as an overall force.The Emperor Lu is clearly expressing his covetousness towards Tianzhu now, so what can he do?
Will the countries of Tianzhu unite to resist Lu Qi together?This is impossible.When the Tianfang sect flooded in, they couldn't join forces to resist, and they couldn't join forces to resist when the British conquered Tianzhu in history, let alone now.

Since there won't be any bad changes, why don't you help Li Jun anyway?To take some of the pressure off of him.

As for Qiu Wei, after Lu Qian moved his capital to Jinling, the time was officially set.The imperial examination is scheduled for the fifth day of August every year!

Although there are scholars and recruiters to separate the glory of Jinshi, Jinshi is Jinshi, and there is an irresistible temptation for most "scholars".As a result, there are as many scholars who come to the scientific examination every time as the Qing Dynasty.

"Your Majesty is the supreme being in the world. Don't say that adding one question means adding ten questions and eight questions. Why not?"

Lehe's reply made Lu Qian laugh out loud.He's not that brazen.There are scientific examination rules, which have been fixed over the years, how can they be easily broken. "Pass the order down, this question is set as an additional question and will not be included in the score."

"The minister obeys the order." Le He said.

……

In August, sweet-scented osmanthus is fragrant for ten miles, and the whole Jinling is covered by the fragrance of sweet-scented osmanthus. A few days ago, an autumn rain washed over Jinling City, and the flowers and trees were verdant. It has a very peculiar taste.

The afternoon sun was shining, and the Qinhuai River was ten miles long, and there were many more people on boats.

The melodious singing of singers often floats on the river, and under the green weeping willows by the river, there are many men and women playing.

Jinling City was the political center of the Lu Qi Dynasty, and it was also rapidly developing towards an economic center.The dignitaries of the Manchu Dynasty created a prosperous and luxurious life here.

Lush and rich, feasting and feasting, when too many dignitaries and their children gather in a place, this seemingly unmotivated atmosphere is naturally formed.

The same is true of any country in the prosperous period of an empire.

The near ones are like Bianliang in Tokyo, and the far ones are like Chang'an and Luoyang in Tang Dynasty.

This phenomenon is irreversible in the 21st century, and there are too many examples in the world.

On the bank of the Qinhuai River, beside the stone steps on the river bank, a group of women from ordinary families were chatting and laughing while washing their clothes.

Lu Qi's folk customs are more open than Zhao Song's, so there is no saying that women can't see others.What's more, these are ordinary family members, so how come there are so many rules.

Just at this time, a painting boat passed the river.

Listening to the faint laughter coming from the shore, as well as the hustle and bustle of pedestrians and horses, all the people on this boat were smiling.

"Brother Yuwen, Brother Huang, along the way, I have seen the pleasant scenery in the south of the Yangtze River. Just looking at the scenery of Qinhuai is already intoxicating. I really don't know how prosperous Jinling City is!" A scholar wearing blue brocade clothes said to the wind. . "Although my younger brother was born in Qilu, he went to Gansu and Shaanxi with his father when he was young. Ten years have passed in a blink of an eye, and the prosperity of his hometown has long been forgotten. Although the two elder brothers are not born in Qilu, they are all fortunate to live in it. I have been studying for several years, and today I will ask these two wise brothers to give me some advice and explain to me the differences between the old and new capitals."

This man's surname was Zhao, and he was the nephew of Zhao Bushi, so he had a good background.The two people who were together naturally came from well-off families, and the elder's future was much brighter than that of his father. However, Shusheng Zhao did not envy this. He only envied the two of them for studying in Yidu for several years.

Since Emperor Lu moved the capital to Jinling, the role of Yidu has changed, from the initial political center to the academic and cultural center of the North.
