Daming: Is There Imperial Examination Fraud At The Beginning? I Cry As A Candidate During The Test

Chapter 61 gives Zhu Yuanzhang the concept of scientific colonies and establishes an empire on which tomorrow will never set!

Inside the palace.

Several rays of bright white sunlight shine in from the window, illuminating the entire room.

It also illuminated Zhu Yuanzhang's face. At this time, his face was full of confusion.

"Capital plunder?"

He knew every word of it, but the four words together made him confused.

Moreover, control the vassal king and vassal country, and use capital to plunder?

Why capital plunder?

Zhu Yuanzhang didn't know what he was doing.

I just think these four words are very powerful.

Because through the so-called "capital plunder", it is possible to control the feudal king and the feudal country.

Zhu Yuanzhang considered these four words, frowned, stroking his beard and thinking hard for a long time, still puzzled.

He looked at Ye Xuan and asked:

“What is Capital Plunder?”

Ye Xuan replied:

“Capital plunder can also be said to be colonial plunder.”

“The feudal king conquered those countries and made those countries into subordinate vassals and colonies.

"And the Ming Dynasty only needed to indirectly obtain the wealth of plundering colonies from the vassal kings."

Zhu Yuanzhang:..17..

It is a vassal state and a colony.

He almost fainted.

And the Ming Dynasty indirectly obtained the wealth of plundering colonies from the vassal kings?

Zhu Yuanzhang's black and white eyes showed confusion.

He thought about Ye Xuan's words.

The feudal kings conquered these countries.

Treat those countries as vassal states.

As a colony.

etc?

What does colony mean?

It seems that Ye Xuan hasn’t explained the capital plunder yet, right?

Capital plunder means plundering the wealth of "colonies"?

Zhu Yuanzhang felt that the more Ye Xuan explained, the more unfamiliar words and content emerged.

He became more and more confused.

Then, he thought about it.

He felt that the most important thing was Ye Xuan's third sentence.

Plunder the wealth of colonies (vassal states).

**:.......

no.

He wants to know the means to control the vassal kings and vassal states. Why don't you tell me about plundering the wealth of some kind of colony (vassal vassal state)?

Zhu Yuanzhang:??

Is there any connection?

Zhu Yuanzhang could not think of any connection between plundering the wealth of colonies (vassal vassal states) and controlling vassal kings and vassal states.

How to control vassal kings and vassal states by plundering wealth?

He was increasingly confused.

And what is a "colony"?

He felt that the meal should be eaten a little bit.

You need to understand the content bit by bit.

Before understanding the connection between plundering the wealth of colonies (vassal vassal states) and controlling vassal kings and vassal states, he had to understand some novel vocabulary.

What is a colony?

"Colonies, as the name suggests, are colonial places. Colonization refers to the country's expansion of political and economic power into backward countries and regions, enslaving and plundering local people."

"A colony is a place of exploitation and slavery.

Ye Xuan explained.

"I see."

Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help but nodded.

It turns out that this is what colony means.

However, Zhu Yuanzhang was a little strange. Why did he need to plunder capital and create such a colony?

In the thinking of the ancients: water can carry a boat and also capsize it.

It is believed that the people are like water and the rulers are like boats.

If it is tyranny or squeezing the people, it will cause the people to resist and overthrow the ruler.

Therefore, most ancient emperors adopted benevolent governance.

And the colonies created by capital plunder that Ye Xuan mentioned seem to use tyranny to squeeze the people of those colonies. In this case, "Aren't the people of the colonies more likely to resist?

He couldn't understand.

Why should we adopt such a method to manage the people on the plundered land?

This is not conducive to long-term peace and stability.

Zhu Yuanzhang wondered why such tyranny was used to oppress the people, but he thought it would be better to verify "capital plunder" first.

“Capital plunder means plundering the wealth of what you call ‘colonies’?”

Ye Xuan: "Exactly."

Zhu Yuanzhang knitted his brows together, "If according to your statement, the key to controlling the vassal king and the vassal country is to plunder capital, that is, to plunder the wealth of the 'colonies'.

"But why do we think the two are not related?"

"How on earth can we control those feudal kings and feudal states by plundering the wealth of the 'colonies'?"

He finally asked the most doubtful question in his mind.

There was a lot of confusion just now.

They talk about "capital plunder", "colonies" and "colonial plunder", but they are all talking about plundering those colonies (subordinate vassal states).

It has nothing to do with controlling the vassal king or the vassal country.

Moreover, using plunder to rule those colonies (subordinate vassal states) is simply not conducive to long-term peace and stability.

There will definitely be strong resistance from the colonies (subordinate vassal states).

Ye Xuan said calmly:

"How to control feudal kings and vassal states through capital plunder. Before knowing this, you must understand the method of capital plunder.'

“Only by knowing how capital plunder works can we know how capital plunder controls vassal kings and vassal states.”

“The specific ways in which capital plunders.

"Armed invasion."

"Economic plunder."

“Capital input and capital output.

"The vassal king leads troops to attack and invade those countries, which is called armed invasion."

"Economic plunder means plundering land, gold, silver, spices and other resources."

"Dumping cheap goods by force."

"Realize the input and output of capital."

“The means to achieve colonial plunder.”

"However, this is the lowest form of robbery."

"The most advanced one is to make the colonies a supply base for cheap resources, an export base for cheap labor, and a base for dumping cheap goods."

"Let the colony become a supply base for cheap resources. You can obtain cheap resources from the colony, process them in the colony or the home country, and sell them at a high price of 500 in the home country or colony, thereby earning wealth."

"What the colonies don't lack most is cheap labor."

"We adopt violent rule, so we don't care about the dignity and value of these people. We directly use violence to plunder this group of cheap labor and even treat them as slaves."

“And the cheap goods accumulated in the country that cannot be sold can be dumped on these colonies.

Cheap goods that cannot be sold at home will be sold at higher prices in the colonies.

And cheap goods that cannot be dumped in the country are also rare in the colonies, so they will definitely be easily sold.

"These are all ways of plundering colonial wealth."

"The former method is more crude and direct, while the latter method is more advanced and uses both soft and hard tactics to obtain the wealth of the colonies (vassal states)."

Zhu Yuanzhang's face showed shock.

Damn it.

Just a person who plunders wealth can actually make flowers come out.

He had never thought that there were so many ways to plunder wealth.

In the past, most of the wealth plundering he could think of was low-level plundering such as land, gold, and silver.

Brutal and direct.

But Ye Xuan helped him open his eyes.

It turns out that wealth can be plundered in this way.

Looting cheap resources, cheap labor, and dumping cheap goods to colonies (vassal states).
