There are many countries in Indonesia. Although they are all indigenous people with low strength, there are still many people who gather human resources.

These people were used to build factories and engage in agriculture and animal husbandry, and they could create a lot of wealth.

Of course, these wealth need to be transferred to the territory of the Ming Empire by some reasonable means.

For example, currency and paper money.

The Java region and the Luzon Principal used the Huangxia silver banknotes for trade. In the military aid activities to the Madalan Kingdom and the Wandan Kingdom, the trade between the two countries and merchants of the Ming Empire also used the Huangxia silver banknotes as currency.

The designated currency for trade settlement forced these two countries to purchase a large amount of Huangxia silver banknotes as reserve funds.

The convenient and valuable banknotes were soon circulated and opened in these two countries and surrounding areas.

According to the plan of Xiao Sheng and Zhu Youjian, within about two years, all parts of Indonesia can recognize the Huangxia Silver Bank of the Ming Empire, thereby establishing the status of the international credit currency of the Huangxia Silver Bank of the International Credit Currency.

In order to cope with the growing demand for currency in foreign trade, Huangxia Bank proposed a plan to print 50 million silver dollars, which was approved.

Pablo left the Luzon Priest in mid-August on a plywood ship. He was going to Western Europe to read the imperial edict to Spain for His Majesty the Emperor of the Ming Empire.

Lucius was also leaving at the same time. His itinerary was basically the same as Pablo, but he proposed the conditions for the Ming Empire to the Netherlands.

In response to the two countries' invasion of land that originally belonged to the Ming Empire, the Ming Empire required both countries to provide war reparations of no less than five million silver dollars.

They won't give this money, at least they won't give it now.

Both Zhu Youjian and Xiao Sheng understand this.

Now, it is the beginning of the Dutch country's dominance. The Netherlands, which was later called the maritime coachman, is in a stage of rapid development. How could it bow to a Western country?

The Ming Empire seized their territory in Southeast Asia and East Asia, which directly shakes their fundamental interests, so the greatest possibility is to send a powerful fleet to compete with the Ming Empire.

They want to prove who is the only overlord in this sea area!

Of course, given the current navigation speed of ships, it is estimated that this war will not be seen this year.

Of course, the Ming Empire's help to the Indonesian region was not just in terms of war. As an Eastern power in charge, it had to take the initiative to assume the obligation of cultural dissemination.

In April of the second year of Chongzhen, Zhu Youjian ordered the rectification of religious affairs within the Ming Empire and established the status of Taoism as the only local religion recognized by the Ming Empire.

He was named the Taoist Quanzhen Li Daoyi as the leader of Taoism and was granted the title of "Daozong".

Daozong has many honors such as not kneeling when he sees an official, not getting up, etc., and every month he goes to the Royal Taoist Hall to preach classics to the emperor and his relatives.

Li Daoyi led a group of Taoist sects to integrate classics, sort out the Chinese mythology system, and finally determined the worship system for the Three Heavenly Lords of Shangqing.

It was confirmed that His Majesty the Emperor of the Ming Empire was the incarnation of the supreme God of Haotian in the world, under the Three Pure Land, the Lord of Heaven, and the Supreme God of Haotian.

Immediately, the expulsion and assimilation of heretic sects were carried out within the Ming Empire.

The state implements strict religious control, and unofficially recognized religions must not be spread within the country at will, otherwise they will be regarded as cult heresy.

Even Taoism, for Taoist priests, each has identity certificate. Only by passing the assessment of the "Taoist Association" can you obtain a true Taoist priest identity.

Taoist priests are "imperial religious affairs personnel" and are paid by the state. They have no land and cannot engage in commercial activities. There are only two ways to obtain money.

One is the salary of the empire, and the other is the donation of believers.

Li Daoyi fully respected the current development of the scientific undertakings of the Ming Empire and promoted the three thousand great ways. The way of science is one of the means to pursue the true meaning of Taoism.

Thus religion and science developed in a complementary manner.

The purpose of actively mastering and developing Taoism is of course to prevent those imported products from eroding the thoughts of the people.

It is undeniable that the doctrines of those religions also have a good side, but the cultural invasion characteristics it carries cannot be erased.

And what the Ming Empire is going to do now is exactly what it is.

Starting from September, a group of Taoist people came to Indonesia and vigorously built "Taoist schools", established "Tao Temples", recruited believers, and even distributed food directly.

This area was originally occupied by Catholicism, and it was still difficult to promote Taoism.

However, if you don’t accept the methods of professionals, you can’t accept them.

These Taoists directly declared that God is God, and that God Haotian has different incarnations in the endless world.

After confirming that everyone has the same faith in the gods, the Taoists taught everyone the classics they brought.

With one move, half of the Catholics turned into Taoist believers.

Even those believers took the initiative to spread the different incarnations of the endless world of God Haotian.

In order to learn classics better, believers must learn Chinese, so a craze has emerged in various parts of Indonesia.

A teacher who is proficient in Indonesian and Chinese can earn twenty silver dollars a month!

The task of cultural communication is indeed the best way to achieve religion.

Religion and education, I believe that in ten years, Chinese will become the official language of the entire Indonesian region.

Regarding the emergence of Taoist and Taoist schools in China, both the Madalan Kingdom and the Wandan Kingdom are welcome, because they are solving the living problems of some people in a practical way and helping the local residents to a great extent.

Even the king of the Madalan Kingdom invited a Taoist priest to teach him Taoist classics specifically.

Chinese culture is profound and profound, and once you understand it in depth, you will easily become unexplained.

After thousands of years of accumulation and inherited classics, you can get some good things from them.

When organizing religious classics, Xiao Sheng brought some modern lost classics and treasures such as the Yongle Ceremony there.

Then, through a self-directed and self-acted accident, they were unearthed from the cemetery and reappeared in the world.

As soon as the Yongle Ceremony was born, it attracted the attention of the whole world. Historians from all over the world gathered in China in a short time and wanted to have a look.

Xiao Sheng suddenly realized that he might have some responsibilities.

The Qing Dynasty entered the pass and the great powers invaded it. I don’t know how many Chinese cultural heritages were destroyed. Many things were actually used in some ways to make them appear legitimately.

Chinese culture is the most brilliant and richest culture in the world. Only by passing on as much as possible can we innovate and let the world know China with a better attitude.

Furthermore, the Chinese clothing and clothing will emerge all over the world, and the era of China will begin.

Cultural soft power is an important part of the competition in modern society that cannot be ignored.

Xiao Sheng has invested a lot of money in modern times to do scientific research, and he still neglects the inheritance of culture.

The cultural industry also needs to work hard.
