Nan Ming Sun Never Sets

Chapter 75
Bai Mingxiu was wandering in the streets of Australasian Prefecture, and he still felt a little fantastic about his previous experience.In this miraculous way, the Australian Province of Daming obtained a second city.After Darwin entered the 21st century, the population was only in the early 6s. At this time, the population of Daming Australasia was already [-].

Under the administrative divisions established by the new court of the Southern Ming Dynasty, the first-level administrative units are provinces and Xuanweisi; the second-level administrative units are prefectures, which are equivalent to prefecture-level cities; the third-level administrative units are counties and districts; the fourth-level administrative units are Set up townships, towns and villages.

Under this system, Australia Province is the largest province in the entire Ming Dynasty. There was even only one prefecture before, but now there are two prefectures.Outside the two mansions, there is a large area of ​​unincorporated land.

There used to be a large number of aborigines living in the land of Australasia, but due to a challenge mission organized by the system, a large number of field troops were killed here, so that Bai Mingxiu had never seen a single aborigine.It seems that the population transformed from the recruited troops is the residents who have lived here for generations.

The appearance of Aobei Mansion also gave Bai Mingxiu a good starting point to advance to the mainland. After all, Xitian Mansion is far away and too peaceful.The Northern Province of Australia is located in the northern part of the Australian mainland, close to Batavia, which has become a colony of the Ming Dynasty, and East Timor of the Portuguese, so it can be a good military base.

Aobei Prefecture itself is a very large city with complete port facilities, but apart from the few ships brought by Bai Mingxiu, the port looks very deserted.

Although the population here is large, Bai Mingxiu found that the system prohibited him from recruiting the population of Aobei Prefecture to engage in war activities in the short term, and could only allow them to engage in production.Bai Mingxiu sighed a little, but he quickly arranged for people from the Ministry of Industry to plan and build various factories here.

"What a waste. There are tens of thousands of houses in such a big city, but no one lives in them." Sister Shi also accompanied Bai Mingxiu to Aobei Mansion this time, and sighed as she looked at Aobei Mansion, which was like a ghost town.

Bai Mingxiu smiled and said: "When more immigrants come in the future, these houses will not be vacant."

Bai Mingxiu was quite helpless about this point. When Xitian Mansion was acquired, it was full of industry and commerce, and people had their own jobs.But when you come to Northern Australia, the 6 people here have nothing to do, not even a home, no rations, no savings, and no jobs.

What's worse is that Northern Australia itself has a city, so there is no chance to recruit these people to build roads and docks.At the same time, the quality of the population in Northern Prefecture is far inferior to that in Xitian Prefecture. The literacy rate of Han Chinese is as high as 90.00%. The literacy rate in Northern Prefecture is only about [-]%, and most people are actually illiterate.

"I remember Darwin, oh no, there are gold mines here in Northern Australia, and you can open a gold mining company or something. Northern Australia is very suitable for business development, after all, it is on the edge of Southeast Asia. In addition, to establish some industrial manufacturing, Northern Australia You can further support my Northern Expedition." Bai Mingxiu was making plans.

Sister Shi was wearing a light white lady's skirt. She looked at Bai Mingxiu with a smile and said, "Is Your Highness planning to stay in Aobei Mansion permanently? The climate here is not as good as Xitian Mansion."

Bai Mingxiu said: "The king of Jin has already captured Yunnan, and I don't want to delay going north for too long. In fact, I have made all the preparations that should be made. There is no such thing as a so-called perfect preparation. I can regain the Han family sooner rather than later." Jiangshan, all represent that compatriots suffer less oppression and suffering."

Sister Lion half-jokingly said: "But how does Your Highness know that those officials under you can bring a better life to the common people? You know, relying on our military capabilities, or even bluntly speaking, relying on concubines With the three turrets on his body, His Highness can go all the way from Guangzhou to Shuntian Mansion, and Manchu will be overthrown sooner or later. But the difficulty is how to reform the old politics, how to bring this country from the decadent and declining feudal era to a In the vibrant industrial age, how many people does His Highness have available? The talents of Xitian Mansion and Aobei Mansion are nothing more than that. Returning to the native land, either those defectors who shaved their hair and changed their clothes, or those who stick to tradition and do not know how to adapt' Gentleman, when the country is in peril, His Highness can let them live, so they all follow you. But when the world is settled and the benefits start to be shared, these people will inevitably not want to leave the Donglin-Fushe group The old road, or the road of Wei Zhongxian's one party. The common people can't live on, and they are walking the old road of Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong."

Bai Mingxiu couldn't help smiling when he heard Sister Shi's words, and said, "I never thought that, Sister Shi, you would be so profound."

Sister Lion smiled lightly: "After all, a woman with only her appearance cannot attract a man's long-term company."

Bai Mingxiu pretended not to understand her, and continued to talk about the Northern Expedition. He said, "Actually, I haven't really started to do the things that change the world. Although many things have taken shape in my mind, I even imitated them." A new imperial court was re-established in modern countries, but it really spread to every corner of the society, and it is really not an easy task to promote comprehensive reforms. When I read the historical materials of the late Ming and early Qing Dynasties, it was always the nation Contradictions and class conflicts are seeing each other repeatedly. Even if ethnic conflicts have risen to become the main contradiction, if the class conflicts are not resolved, the society will still be unstable, and the country will still have no future..."

Bai Mingxiu is a typical materialist view of history. In many places, he believes that this kind of cognition and methodology are very good tools.The class that masters advanced productive forces is the backbone of social change, but the problem is that there is no class that masters advanced productive forces in China today.It has been proved that the gentry class is only willing to safeguard their own vested interests, the small peasant class also has its own limitations, and the buds of capitalism have not yet been extracted.

What Bai Mingxiu can do now is to wave the banner of nationalism to unite all classes, and at the same time bring "advanced productive forces" with his own powerful wrist.He has his own set of theories, but they are not well formed. He now needs a group of people who advocate his own theories to help him accomplish all this.

In fact, the Republic back then also lacked real capitalist soil, but it was still turned around by relying on strong politics and uniting the masses of the lower classes who were oppressed and exploited.The road ahead of Bai Mingxiu makes him hesitant. He can win over the gentry class and become a Taiping Emperor more easily; he can also smash the entire old world and let all the gentry class stand on the side of the Tartars. side.

"Probably, I never like to choose a simple model. For me, there is only the correct model."
