Yuan Keli therefore said: "In this way, the internal and external officials and armies cannot be abolished now. ”"Not only can it not be abolished, but it must be expanded, and the military reform is implemented, the guard system is no longer appropriate, and this defense-oriented military organization model is not suitable as a base for attacking the barbarians!
My Ming Dynasty now needs a standing army of millions of scales, and this standing army needs to consume my countless steel cannons, guns and ammunition, and then exchange them for valuable resources!
These resources include slaves. ”Zhu Youxiao replied.At this time, Liu Hongxun said: "Even so, does this contradict our proposition of prohibiting slavery, after all, now people cannot be slaves is already a great road that everyone in China has recognized, Huang Taiji is a traitor, a war criminal, tortured by hard labor, but it can make the people of the world understand, but if we take the foreign barbarians as slaves, it is a little difficult to declare this matter to the world." ”Bi Ziyan was more sleek than Liu Hongxun, so he said at this time: "Therefore, in the opinion of Yichen, what the dynasty needs to determine is that except for my Chinese people, the foreign barbarians are not considered human beings, these barbarians are first fond of killing, without benevolence, and secondly, they have no human morality, in addition, they are arrogant and do not know etiquette, and even have good cannibals, so they are actually no different from animals, and they are not human." ”Zhu Youxiao looked at Bi Ziyan and listened carefully to Bi Ziyan's remarks, he seemed to feel very familiar, very familiar with Bi Ziyan's questions at this time.After pondering for a while, Zhu Youxiao thought of it.He remembered that historically, after the Western colonizers discovered the Americas and entered the capital expansion, they also discussed the question of whether the Native Americans were essentially human beings, and finally, because they wanted to accumulate primitive capital, they began to think that the Indians were not their own species.And Zhu Youxiao found that the officials of the Ming Dynasty also began to have this tendency, and for the sake of their own country's interests, they began to psychologically deny that people of other races were human beings to convince themselves of their aggressive behavior.Just like many scholars and doctors before them, they didn't really treat ordinary people as citizens.Zhu Youxiao laughed because of this.He knew that he, the emperor, could not stop his ministers from thinking like this.For he cannot demand from his ministers by the rules of the Hereafter that they must regard the entire human race of the earth as equal."
Then the Ministry of Rites will discuss this matter, and Bi Aiqing will preside over it, so that it can be used as a reference for the court to treat the barbarians in the future."
Zhu Youxiao nodded and said."
Yes!"
Bi Ziyan replied, he is in charge of the Ministry of Household and Rites, and he knows better than anyone how the Ming Dynasty should treat people other than the Ming people now, which is in the best interest of the Ming Dynasty at the moment."
From the servant's point of view, the Ming court is different from the barbarians in treating its own people, the reason is very simple, the Ming Dynasty was born in Si, grew up in Si, and was influenced by the Holy Sect King since childhood, and everyone belongs to the same Yanhuang, the bloodline is one, and they should be noble to the barbarians!
If the barbarians and the people of the Ming Dynasty are regarded as the same kind, then the dignity of the people of the Ming Dynasty will not exist!
”Bi Ziyan first expressed his opinion."
That's a big fallacy!
Although Huayi is different, all kinds of ethnic groups are divided into high and low!
How can it be said that the untouchables of another country live on the nobles of other countries, if so, then I should be regarded as a civilian of the Ming Dynasty who killed a foreign vassal envoy as a lesser crime than killing a commoner of my Ming Dynasty?
”Zhang Jie, the secretary of Dali Temple, refuted and asked Bi Ziyan rhetorically.After asking, Zhang Jie laughed.Because many rulers of this era did not have any concept of nationality, they did not feel that their own people should be nobler than foreign nobles, and they often even favored foreign envoys when there was a conflict between foreign envoys and their own people in order to avoid disputes between countries.Of course, this does not mean that those in power are weak.It's just that there is no idea of nationalism.For example, according to historical records, in the fourteenth year of Chenghua, there was a "robbery of tribute envoys", because it was a Korean envoy who was robbed, so at the suggestion of Wang Yue, the then imperial history of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, it should be dealt with seriously and strictly investigated, and the progress of the case should be informed to the Korean envoys.In the end, Jinyiwei, who was usually not active in detecting theft cases, quickly caught the main culprit, and the imperial court beheaded the main culprit Zhang Zheng and 11 others in the market, and showed their heads to the public where the Korean envoys were going to pass so that they could see it.It can be seen that the rulers of this era are indeed different from their own subjects in treating foreign envoys, and compared with their own subjects, the imperial court attaches more importance to the safety of the lives and property of foreign envoys, and also cares more about the image of the state in foreign envoys, and even surrenders to the status of the Heavenly Empire, and does not hesitate to severely punish their own people, so as to make foreign envoys barbaric.Although in today's Apocalypse Dynasty, Yuan Chonghuan has killed the Korean envoys and the marshal of the Korean capital, but that is just the emperor's connivance, which can only be regarded as an exception.Even Emperor Zhu Youxiao's cruelty to the outside world is not in line with the image of a virtuous monarch in the eyes of most people nowadays.Therefore, Zhang Jie also felt that he asked this question, and Bi Ziyan, who also received Confucian education, would not be able to refute himself.And Bi Ziyan replied directly with a smile at this time: "Of course!
If the people of the Celestial Empire are not noble, what kind of Celestial Empire is the Celestial Empire?
What is the dignity of the Celestial Empire?
”Zhang Jie was speechless for a while, he didn't expect Bi Ziyan to admit it directly."
Ridiculous!
If we do this, we will not be able to live in harmony with each other, and when the time comes, we will only be wreaking havoc with war!
The Buddha said, all beings are equal, how can the noble and the lowly be linked to the degree of civilization, and the so-called noble self-esteem is related to identity!
”Liu Zongzhou, the secretary of the Criminal Department, put forward his own different views, he was a great Confucian in the world, and naturally he admired etiquette and religion."
The servant thinks that what Liu Gong said is wrong, if the royal dog raised by His Majesty in the army is not more noble than Liu Gong in terms of identity?"
Bi Ziyan asked."
You!"
Liu Zongzhou immediately stood up, and his face turned red in an instant.At this time, Zhang Jie asked: "Different species, how can you talk about high and low?"
Royal dogs can only say that other dogs are noble, but how can they be compared with people. ”"Waifan and my people are not of the same species, are they human, or are we human?"
Bi Ziyan replied."
It's all human!"
Rites and Fortunes" says: People, the heart of heaven and earth, the end of the five elements, the taste, the voice, and the people who are born by color.According to the birds, beasts, ships, and trees are all born of heaven and earth, and not the heart of heaven and earth; Only man is the heart of heaven and earth.Therefore, the birth of heaven and earth is extremely precious.Waifan also has the heart of heaven and earth, so it is also a person!
”Liu Zongzhou sat back at this time.Bi Ziyan continued to reply: "Wrong!
There are a lot of people who have no heart of heaven and earth, the heart of heaven and earth must have the virtue of heaven and earth, there must be good thoughts, and they must be from the king, and the servants have seen, the outer fan is not as civilized as my Ming people, there is no virtue of heaven and earth, or the virtue of heaven and earth is not as good as my Han people, of course, there are also people who are virtuous of heaven and earth, but these must be close to the king, and those who do not have the virtue of heaven and earth are obviously not people, or not as good as my Han people, can only be regarded as half a person, only those who are completely kings can be regarded as adults!
”"Even if they are not human beings and are not as noble as their own people, how can the rulers of the country be in conflict with their own people because they favor their own people and destroy diplomatic relations?"
Liu Zongzhou continued to ask."
The matter of wronging his own people for the sake of courtesy to foreign countries has always happened before the enthronement of the saint, but let me ask Liu Gong, is there no conflict with the foreign people because of this?
Chaos and trouble, can always take the initiative to plunder the country, it can be seen that treating each other with courtesy will not work, you have to use it to threaten!
Dominate it!
”Bi Ziyan replied.......
"Bi Ziyan's refutation is very good, and the people of the country should be nobler than the foreigners, whether they are the princes and nobles or the commoners and slaves in the country, and whether the people of the country are princes and nobles or common people, the latter must be nobler than the former, and it must be reflected in the law, and a statute concerning foreign countries may be set up, and it is proposed to establish a codification department of the "Regulations on the Investigation and Punishment of Foreign Persons", and Bi Ziyan will also serve as the president, so that he will recommend the vice president to compile this law as a legal basis for dealing with such cases in the future, in principle, the same crime, If it is necessary to be beheaded, it will be beheaded in half, and the people of the country will be reduced to beheading. ”Zhu Youxiao instructed after receiving the results of this court meeting.At this point, under the impetus of some ministers, Emperor Zhu Youxiao officially issued an order to begin to put his own people above the foreign people in the form of a decree.However, this is not enough, Zhu Youxiao, as a Chinese from later generations, has a lot of painful history about foreign invasions in his memory.His benevolence may not even be as good as Liu Zongzhou, the great Confucian of this world, and he can't treat all human beings in the world equally, but he never minds using any means to strengthen his own Huaxia interests, and try his best to make the peaceful and prosperous life of his Chinese people longer.Therefore, Zhu Youxiao once again instructed Yuan Keli and other central ministers: "Since no one in the foreign world is as noble as any of my Ming people, and it should be regarded as the consensus of the world and the standard of governing the country, the original tributary system is no longer appropriate, and our Celestial Dynasty does not need any foreign ministers to call us vassals, it needs to be abolished!"
Because they are not qualified to be the ministers of my Celestial Empire, if you want to be the ministers of my Celestial Empire, you need to accept Sinicization first, you need to become a person like my Han family, and you must learn Confucianism and etiquette!
You must first become a citizen of the Celestial Empire!
”"Yes!
The so-called tributary ministers, in fact, the foreign fan is mostly to take this opportunity to trade and earn benefits from my Ming, which, especially the Mongolian tribes and the Japanese daimyo love to do this, there have been officials in the DPRK to expose this matter before, these foreign ministers every time pretending to be envoys to my Ming, saying that it is on behalf of its monarch, to my Ming ministers, and then offer some inferior tribute, and the dynasty often does not make it despised, the value of the gift is several times its tribute!
Therefore, every time a tribute is paid, it is basically an outflow of state funds and people's wealth!
Now that I think about it, it's really not cost-effective, and it's better to change it. ”Yuan Keli replied."
That's right!

But this is not to say that the foreign fan can no longer communicate with my Ming Dynasty, can no longer learn my Chinese culture, although they will no longer accept their tributary vassals, but they can come to my Ming Dynasty to study or do business in the name of individuals or the government, but there must be some restrictions, study abroad is not allowed to learn the skills of a hundred craftsmen, not to learn arithmetic and the new implementation of physics, chemistry, biology disciplines, business must also be restricted, tobacco shall not be sold, all kinds of birds and animals shall not be sold, the workshop involved in the investment, the scale can not be too large, if it is large, it cannot be the main shareholder, It must be cooperated with and guaranteed by a national businessman. ”"In addition, in terms of studying abroad, there can be some appropriate reward systems, and those who have more achievements in the Ming Dynasty can be rewarded, and even if there are outstanding contributions to the promotion of Confucianism, they can be allowed to enter our Ming nationality."
In addition to being responsible for the original affairs, the Ministry of Rites is responsible for the things just mentioned, in addition to the original affairs, it is responsible for the things just mentioned, in addition, it is to regularly fund the establishment of some literary societies, buy some foreign scholars, and provide them with financial temptations in the name of inviting them to give lectures and travel, so that they can publish books and praise the greatness of the Celestial Empire!
From the king to the people, they can all be praised, so that the people of the Gentiles only know the political clarity of the Celestial Empire, and the people of the Celestial Empire know the etiquette, but they do not know the blood and cruelty on the road of the Celestial Empire's expansion. ”"In addition, in order to strengthen the education of more foreign students through the way of educating foreign students, let the cabinet meet the Alumni Department, the Ministry of Rites, and the Lifan Temple, and set up a university hall for the study of cultural learning, which is called Jingshi University, which specializes in cultural teaching, and is the same as the national superintendent, but the application system is implemented, and domestic students and students can apply for the examination, and foreign students need to indicate their ruling tendencies after returning to China, and those who want to seek self-improvement in their country are not recorded!
The university has two types of academic subjects, one is for undergraduates, the other is for preparatory courses, domestic students are directly undergraduates, and foreign students first undergo a one-year formal Zhu Lixue education before taking the preparatory department with eight shares, and if they pass, they will be promoted to undergraduates. ”Zhu Youxiao continued to make a series of instructions.And all his edicts point to a goal, that is, to achieve the goal of assimilating the people of foreign countries by cultural means.Just when Zhu Youxiao abolished the original tributary system and decided to start building a new foreign exchange system, Lin Dan Khan had to instruct the Erut Ministry to come to the Ming Dynasty to pay tribute to the Ming Dynasty after the Ming Dynasty caused a shortage of salt and tea."
After you sent the envoys, they said that they could not bear the oppression of Ben Khan, and they wanted to call him a minister to the Ming Emperor Zhu Youxiao, and wanted to belong to the Ming Dynasty, he Zhu Youxiao has always been ambitious, so he destroyed the Eastern Captives not long ago, and has always had the intention of splitting my Mongolian tribes, so when the time comes, he will be happy because of your subordination, and will reward you heavily, and at the same time, your people will take this opportunity to trade in his capital!"
Lin Dan Khan said to Taiji Bamusen of the Erut Department at this time.Bamusen couldn't help but say: "But there are not many good horses in our tribe, most of them are bad horses. ”Lin Danhan smiled: "It doesn't matter what kind of good horse he is, he will care about this?"
All you have to do is stuff some more money into the official who collects the horses. ”Bamusen nodded accordingly: "Nachen will go on this trip himself." ”So, Bamusen brought a batch of bad horses as tribute to Daming Ningxia Town, and submitted a letter saying that he wanted to belong to Daming and wanted to pay tribute.Yang Wenyue, the governor of Ningxia in the Ming Dynasty, did not dare to slack off, and hurriedly reported the matter to the Jingshi.And the Ming court has just abolished the tributary system, so naturally it did not intend to give Bamusen the opportunity to pay tribute, and directly rejected the request of the Erut Ministry to pay tribute."
What, the Ming court no longer implements the tributary system?
Aren't you afraid to do this, to force us into corners, and to plunder you?
”After learning that he had been rejected, Bamusen asked Yang Wenyue quite angrily.Yang Wenyue sneered: "In the past, when there was a tributary system, you also plundered the border towns, it can be seen that you did not follow the rules first, and let the saint down, so you abolished the tribute." ”(
