Nan Ming Sun Never Sets

Chapter 456 Secular Society
The Bengalis felt great fear of the new rulers who came here. From the day Dhaka opened the city, everyone was vividly telling how the elite Mughal Empire army looked like a fool in front of the Chinese army. It's like paper and will break when you poke it.

Soon many Ming soldiers in uniform appeared on the street, most of them seemed to be Burmese.The Bangladeshis are not surprised. This kind of routine is often performed in India. The core of an army may be a nation, and then there are vassals of other nations.For example, the core of the Mughal army is naturally the Central Asian peoples, those Persians, Turkic Mongols, Pashtuns, etc., and then there are Rajputs from North India, and soldiers of various other Indian nationalities .The main force of the Ming army is Han Chinese, and the vassals are Burmese, which is also easily understood by the Bengalis.

The Ming army seized many properties and facilities of the Mughal Empire, but did not plunder the wealthy Dhaka. A group of merchant ships docked at the pier, and a group of Chinese merchants began to sell their goods publicly. At first, some Bangladeshis thought it was a routine, but soon local merchants found that the goods sold by these Chinese merchants were much better than what they bought from Europeans. The same kind of goods I got were cheaper and better in quality, so I endured the instability that Bengal had changed rulers, and the businessmen who came to the pier for profit rushed to the pier and had a chicken-and-duck bargain with Chinese businessmen. .

Many "tourists" from the Ming Dynasty also disembarked in Dhaka. They originally thought they had finally left the country, but Bangladesh became a territory of the Ming Dynasty, and their wish to "go abroad" was once again in vain.

So the Bengalis saw a scene that surprised them. The Ming Empire captured Bangladesh. The purpose seemed to be to allow their merchant ships to come over for business and to give the citizens a new tourist destination.Bengalis don’t know much about it, and they feel they are out of line, but overall this power transfer did not cause much disturbance. Except for the non-local Mughal bureaucracy, which was basically wiped out, other people were basically wiped out. Just keep doing what you have to do.

Sitting in the palace built by the Mughal Empire, Bai Mingxiu could feel how extravagant the life of Shaista Khan was.There are handicrafts made of gold, silver and precious stones everywhere, and even the pillars are inlaid with gold. There are hundreds of beauties of all ethnic groups in the palace, and waiters from different countries provide the governor with the most honorable service.

It's just that the governor is still in the custody of the Ming army, and Bai Mingxiu has not fulfilled his promise to send the uncle of the Mughal emperor away.

"...how much wealth has been found." Wu Min was having a breakfast meeting with Bai Mingxiu very comfortably. The waiters and beauties serving in the palace did not leave. The new "governor" served food, and even a group of dancers spontaneously started dancing with a Persian style.

Bai Mingxiu shook his head: "I don't like your wording, what is search."

"Okay, Comrade Commander, it's true that I wasn't careful enough with my words. I should say accept."

Bai Mingxiu smiled and said with great satisfaction: "The current result is about 3000 million taels. These are relatively direct assets, and many things have not been converted yet."

Wu Min said: "The real value of this place is its productivity. The output of agriculture, handicrafts, and commerce is quite considerable. Our goal is to fully obtain such benefits within one year, and then we will start to carry out research on Bangladesh. reform."

"I thought you'd start a revolution with a lot of fanfare as soon as you get started."

Wu Min sighed: "I would like to, but the time is not ripe."

He pointed to the dancers who were doing singing and dancing, and said: "Well, I consider taking over these service personnel as public service personnel. The girls can form a singing and dancing troupe, accept different performances, and pay them wages. Give them their personal freedom and give them the right to own their own property. As for the service staff, well, I want to transform this palace into a luxurious hotel and continue to serve here."

These girls who can't understand Chinese don't know that their fate is undergoing a shocking change, otherwise they would definitely be grateful to the consolation envoys in front of them.

Bai Mingxiu asked a little curiously: "Bangladesh is a religious region, and according to our theory and experience in Ming Dynasty, it is difficult for a region dominated by spirituality or religion to realize its full potential. We need it to become secular. What do you think about this?"

Wu Min let out a long breath and said: "Comrade Commander, you always don't give me answers to some simple questions. This is more complicated, but I will not let any special regulations override the laws of the Ming Dynasty. Our Office, our Our governance will be secular. We respect other people's beliefs, but we will not allow others to trample on our values. Everything needs to be reasonable. As for how to define reasonable, I can tell you for three days and three nights."

He smiled slyly and said: "Actually, the princes and nobles in the Bengal area were not believers. They changed their beliefs because of the rulers of the Delhi Sultanate and the Mughal Empire, and at the same time affected the lower class people. I have no interest in changing. The spiritual world of a region, but I am sure to make people more realistic and live a reasonable secular life."

Bai Mingxiu found that the consolation envoy especially liked to use the word "reasonable". He was flexible, but he seemed to have his own rules.

Wu Min said: "You are about to take the fleet on a long journey. This time, I am very grateful for the help of the Global Fleet. The wealth we received from the Mughal Governor will be directly handed over to the treasury. I will only keep a basic Funds are needed to govern the local area. Of course, the local princes and nobles will send a batch of filial money, and I will issue them the land deed of Chamindar valid for three years. These income will be used as Mengmen The principal of Xuanwei Division's development."

"Will you not move Zai Mingda within three years?"

"You can't say that, because we have already acquired a large amount of land and are preparing to organize production in the form of agricultural cooperatives. Three years later is just a more suitable opportunity for us to destroy Chamindar."

Wu Min always speaks with such affirmative sentences, even in the future tense, which proves that he has strong confidence to turn what he said into reality.
