Ming Dynasty 1805

Internal affairs There are three main internal problems 1: Slavery Why is slavery criticized as a backward system? It's not because he is morally corrupt, and his morality cannot be eaten. It's not just that the slaves cannot be stimulated, but the hundreds of millions of people in Ming Dynasty lack such social vitality? The main reason is that slavery will nourish the decadent mentality of the whole society. People work not to build anything, but to buy slaves and become a rentier class. So these citizens who have access to a comprehensive education will just want to buy as many slaves as they can, engineers? The scientist? Soldier? Who's going if I'm too tired? Wouldn't it be better to buy enough slaves to sleep at home? Once this kind of trend is formed, it will be useless for the protagonist to teach 10,000 future technologies, and it is even more unthinkable to seize the next few industrial revolutions. The Ming Dynasty will inevitably decline rapidly. Historically, there were two ways to change slavery: left and right: Let slaves be liberated immediately while taking on huge debts and redeeming their freedom from slave owners. Such resistance is small, but there are also premonition conditions: rapid social development. Because the slave's production skills are abnormal and only serve the slave owner. Only an era of rapid development such as the Industrial Revolution can provide them with sufficient jobs and training opportunities. Although the right line is lagging behind, it is not easy to move. Left line: Historically, those who took the left line were weak teams. Their control was very small at the beginning, and they seized power while waiting for reform. In the end, they relied on sufficient experience and preliminary preparation to complete the task. Their route would not work in Ming Dynasty - the route of total liberation. In addition to the problem of slaves' survival skills, their thinking is also chaotic. Slaves, especially generations of slaves, have long since made their outlook consistent with slavery. Not to mention foolish loyalty and lack of self-confidence, their dream in life is to become slave owners, and the highest status in their world is that of slave owners. And this is completely out of touch with industrial society. The slaveholders' resistance was trivial in comparison. Don't expect the court to just push it. Ideological reform is a task that will last for several generations. So I advocate an asymptotic left line, first legally emancipating the industrialists' slaves, but allowing their slaves to continue serving their industries as long-term indentured workers. Since legally the slaves are already freedmen, they can accumulate wealth and educate themselves and their children. The small slave owners in society can redeem themselves through the government and let the court grant them freedom and training. The slaves can serve as auxiliary troops in the frontline army, or work in official mines in the colonies, or at least they can work in reclaiming wasteland. But we must not ignore the issue of female slaves. Slavery must be completely abolished. The Ming Dynasty's own social revolution must also be deepened. An answer must be given to the marriage system and the legal status of maids. You must understand that the rich and powerful keep maids because they can afford them. If the whole people acquiesces in keeping maids, there will inevitably be problems such as oppression, exploitation, human trafficking, kidnapping, corruption, abuse of power, etc. Behind them. Therefore, I think that we can professionalize maids and supervise the behavior of concubinage, so that the production skills of female slaves are no longer a problem, and at the same time they are equal in law I understand that many people want to get an optimal solution that everyone is happy with, but it is a pity. The gaps in skills and ideas of slaves can only be adjusted slowly. The biggest challenge for them is that freedom comes too suddenly and too easily. They must study hard to participate in social competition and truly adapt to society, and this must be painful. The slave owner no longer oppresses you, but you must learn to oppress yourself.

Three: Industrial Structure Adjustment Build an industrial pyramid internally and export backward production capacity and immigrants externally. Always remember that the profound power of cultural assimilation and centripetal force are the foundation of Ming Dynasty's global dominance. No one is the best, everyone is the best. The Ming Dynasty also had a huge advantage in this regard. Capital was too concentrated in the clan, so it could be adjusted more conveniently. However, attention must be paid to whether the clan fully cooperates. In addition to the internal transfer of industries already mentioned in the article, it should also be noted that this transfer of profits itself also liberates the productivity of the clan. In terms of internal industries, in the future, just let the clan control key industries and high-tech research. The saved manpower and material resources can be used to build external colonies and adjust conflicts internally. This also stimulates social vitality. Every opportunity of the industrial revolution should be made full use of, the clan leader is responsible for discovering and detonating the revolution, and society is responsible for digesting the revolution. Daming's size is enough to kill all opponents as long as he is ready to fight? Too inferior. There is also no end to the investment in the colonies. You can invest in mining and other raw materials for at least a hundred years, and miners, construction personnel, etc. Can alleviate social conflicts in the Central Plains and also allow the colonial people to get dividends. Cooperating with domestic slavery reform, you can quickly gain stronger control over the colonies. At the same time, the conflicts between vassalized provinces can also be alleviated. Remember that giving people confidence is a very important thing. It is important to do it, but you also need to be able to say it. We cannot always think that industrial outflow is the devil. Are the children of screwdrivers willing to continue to be screwdrivers? Outflow of industry is inevitable, so find ways to take advantage of it. Only by using backward production capacity in exchange for the loyalty of colonial elites and the trust of colonial people can we truly achieve localization. As for the residents of the Central Plains, if they can get through, they can work as petty bourgeoisie in the Central Plains. If they can't, they are encouraged to go to the colonies to become petty bourgeoisie. They must believe in the competitiveness of their knowledge and skills, and at the same time be stricter with the bad guys. Even if the industrial revolution is over, Jesus can't save them.

2: Vassalized Provinces There are two experiences of Britain and France on colonial issues. The British experience is to support agents and create chaos while taking advantage of themselves to ensure rule. France cultivated fine methods and conducted more in-depth management of the colonies. My suggestion is to give the new province a high degree of autonomy, reduce oppression, and deal with problems in a win-win manner. But they are required to be consistent on major policies, such as the issue of abolition, and let them figure out their own solutions and implement them slowly. But at the same time, we maintain close economic ties so that they will starve if they leave the Central Plains, maintain control over the media and military, and cultivate elite elements. In particular, we must maintain the posture of a state of etiquette. The persona cannot be broken and the benefits are small. An enlightened and stern father figure can save a lot of ruling costs. British and French colonization could not last long. In addition to their blind exploitation, the main reason was that there were too few ethnic groups. In this regard, Ming Dynasty had a huge advantage. Therefore, encouraging the Central Plains people to flow into the colonies is also a long-term measure.

I think this picture is more suitable for the background setting of our novel

There is no backward system Only a suitable system

I tried to make a rough sketch of the territory after the negotiation in Chapter 137. There are many places that are not very accurate. Let's just take a look at it. I am too lazy to fix the main character's food country, so I just included it in the mainland

After reading more than seventy chapters, I feel that the advantage is too great. Even without the protagonist, this game is still a bright goal.

Why don't you follow the example of Americans and silence scientists when they see that they want to work for China? If they are in the United States! You can find out their research and development progress in the book! With the strength of the Ming Dynasty, it would not be difficult to wipe out their entire family!

Come on, author! I didn't follow others' insistence on changing to a republic or a constitutional monarchy. This is the most satisfying highlight of this book for me! ! !

It feels strange for foreigners in novels to call the Ming Dynasty the Ming Dynasty. You know the hero of the country, my thieves and the bandits. Since you choose to be hostile to the Ming Dynasty, you won't call it the Ming Dynasty. It's normal to change it to the Ming Dynasty. Just like we will never call Japan the Great Japan.
