Chapter 041: The Founding of the Han Emperor Party
Zhu Youxiao no longer attends court and begins to dive into the textbook compilation work. At the same time, he teaches students who come to the Ministry of Political Science and Education every day.
The backbone of the East Factory transferred a few in, and Tian Ergeng was also transferred to the Jinyiwei.
"This is the world map. This is the Ming Dynasty, located in the center of the world. It is the most civilized and civilized place in the world. Other places are barbarians. However, these barbarians have rich resources and wealth. Moreover, Europeans have begun to expand and invade the whole world, using technology that is more backward than our Ming Dynasty to bully weaker nations all over the world. And here, the Russians have begun to expand eastward. It won't take long for the Russians to extend their hands to the north of our Ming Dynasty, thus creating conflicts with our Ming Dynasty."
The students concentrated on their studies, and Zhu Youxiao taught them personally.
The first thing to talk about is the world geography and the introduction of the situations of countries around the world, thus cultivating a more complete world outlook. Taoism is very perfect in the macroscopic view, and Taoism has made it clear how the universe is composed. However, Taoism has no detailed information about the discussion of the earth.
The worldview at the universe level does not require students to have at all. They even try to avoid them. Once they have the Taoist worldview, they are basically open to everything and are prone to entering the mentality of "inaction". Nothing matters is more important. Once they have this mentality, all brainwashing measures will be useless.
Therefore, just teach the world view at the earth level, and there is no need to go further.
The students were very curious about the world explained by the emperor. This was their first time to understand the world outside the Ming Dynasty. From the map, the world was very vast.
Especially next, when Zhu Youxiao gradually introduced the distribution of resources on various continents, everyone began to yearn for it after hearing this.
"This is Australia. Europeans have not discovered this land yet. Although the desert occupies a lot of area, it has vast grasslands and abundant groundwater, which is very suitable for large-scale grazing. If resources are developed, hundreds of millions of livestock can be raised. Moreover, Australia has rich minerals, especially high-quality iron ore that our Ming Dynasty lacks."
"This is America, divided into South America, North America, and South America also have rich agricultural resources, as well as gold and silver mines with abundant reserves. The Spaniards have now begun to colonize and invade South America on a large scale, and the silver mines are mined every year, and then the Spaniards transported the silver to Luzon and then traded marine trade with our Ming Dynasty. Now, the silver flowing into our Ming Dynasty only from Macau every year is as high as tens of millions of taels."
Zhu Youxiao's words made the students exclaim, the scale of this wealth was really amazing.
"This is North America, with vast land and abundant minerals. Although there is not much gold and silver, once the Europeans occupy North America, it will pose an unpredictable serious threat to our Ming Dynasty. This place has the conditions to form a strong country."
"Your Majesty, since Europeans can bully the natives in these places everywhere, why can't I, the Ming Dynasty, expand outward?" Tian Ergeng asked with heavy breathing.
"I asked very well. My Ming Dynasty did not expand outward because our Han people are highly civilized and are afraid that random invasions and bullying overseas natives will cause karma. Therefore, although our China was very powerful in the past, we would not use advanced technology to slow down the world to bully weak nations. But now it is different. Europeans have begun to bully weaker nations everywhere, thus making them stronger. If our Ming Dynasty cannot curb the development of Europeans in the future, then sooner or later, Europeans will be detained. Now Europeans have posed a serious threat to the Ming Dynasty's coastal borders and often burn, kill and loot the coastal people." Zhu Youxiao said: "So in the future, we must also begin to expand outward and rescue those weak nations oppressed by Europeans and are in dire straits."
"Your Majesty, our Ming Dynasty now has a population of multiplied, and many people have no land to plant. Can we move the people of the Ming Dynasty to those rich continents?" A Jinyiwei, who was in his thirties, asked Zhu Youxiao.
"What's your name?" Zhu Youxiao asked.
"My minister Xu Xianchun, the Jinyiwei commands frugal affairs."
"Your problem is very good. My Ming Dynasty has grown in population and the land has become increasingly barren for thousands of years. Once a natural disaster occurs, it will be hungry all over the world. So the future way out is to revitalize agriculture, and to migrate the excess population. But we can't do it for the time being. First, we don't have a navy, and second, we don't have enough merchant ships to transport people out. Moreover, the imperial court is now very difficult to even have military expenditure, and there is no money to build ships." Zhu Youxiao replied.
The first class was very smooth.
Zhu Youxiao verbally praised him on the spot for those who are positive in learning, serious in their attitude, and can learn from others, which immediately ignited everyone's enthusiasm for learning.
If the emperor attends classes in person, he will be praised, which means his future is bright!
The following courses continued. After the worldview was instilled, Zhu Youxiao began to take the history course and put forward the idea of "Han nationalism".
The result was very good, and everyone was not completely rejected by this national consciousness. When the Ming Dynasty was founded, it was to expel the Tartars and restore the Han Dynasty. The Ming people had a sense of pride in being Han people, so it was naturally impossible to feel rejection.
The indoctrination of the idea of loyalty to the emperor was also very smooth. Zhu Youxiao should be glad that there has not been an anti-imperialist revolutionary party this year. The idea of loyalty to the emperor was the mainstream. Even those Donglin Party hidden insiders should agree with the idea of loyalty to the emperor.
The final course is the problem of the current issue of the people in the Ming Dynasty and the weak national strength. Zhu Youxiao pointed the finger at the businessmen who were poaching the country's corner, which still resonated with a lot.
Their quality of life is not as good as those of businessmen.
The entire brainwashing process was very successful, and the scene was extremely enthusiastic. As for whether everyone can be truly brainwashed, it doesn't matter.
Among these people, there must be some who are not really brainwashed, and there must be some acting schools. But this is not important. What is important is that these acting schools also create a fanatical atmosphere. As long as this fanatical atmosphere is created, it can produce a powerful brainwashing effect.
As long as these acting schools are active enough, they can also be portrayed as ‘typical’.
Zhu Youxiao was not here on that day, and Li Jinzhong shouted frantically: "Now our Ming party is fierce in dispute, and the Donglin faction is in vain to receive the emperor's favor and protect the interests of merchants. The Qi, Chu and Zhejiang Party are also corrupt. I propose to establish the Han imperial party and defend the royal family to the death."
“I join.”
“I’ll join too.”
No one present is a fool, so he naturally understands that this is what the emperor means.
"We need to take a swearing first to join the Han Imperial Party. We must absolutely obey the party's discipline. We will attack wherever the emperor points!" Li Jinzhong continued.
