Regarding whether to let the Prince of Liao be given the title of King of Japan, Emperor Chongzhen chose to shelve the matter of whether to let the Prince of Liao be given the title of King of Japan, anyway, the Governor of Kyushu Island, Chen Hao was still on Kyushu Island, and Zhengren had not officially proposed to let the Prince of Liao be given the title of King of Japan, so Emperor Chongzhen naturally was not in a hurry.

Anyway, there is still time that makes Lu Xiangsheng and others have a headache.

After thinking about the information carefully, Emperor Chongzhen said: "At present, Masato and Tokugawa Iemitsu are just discussing with Masato. Even Masato's queen is not clear about this matter, let alone other people.

As for the relevant information, the Jinyiwei will copy one copy to Mr. Lu in the future, and send one copy to the Zhongji Palace. The ministers will also think about it carefully to see what to do.

However, in my opinion, even if you accept it, you must delay it, at least after all the major projects in our Ming Dynasty are completed."

Lu Xiangsheng was able to see the benefits and disadvantages, while Emperor Chongzhen only saw the disadvantages and did not even see the benefits of the benefits.

For Emperor Chongzhen, the territory of Japan is not big or small, and any land he has built is larger than that, so what is the benefit?

As for the disadvantages, it is very obvious. Because the dog bites the owner, Japan has done it once or twice. Even if it was later generations, it was a godson for Eagle Sauce, and Japan has been thinking about how to bite a piece of meat from Eagle Sauce's father.

He even shouted the slogan of buying Eagle Sauce. He was only after being strongly taught by Eagle Sauce to be a human being. He would be considered a dog that kept biting his owner. Whoever raised it would know. Anyway, Emperor Chongzhen didn't want to raise it.

What's more, Japan now has some uses, such as using the Japanese as supervisors. With this reason, Emperor Chongzhen didn't want to raise such a dog.

Therefore, Emperor Chongzhen's instructions were to drag on. Anyway, Japan also has a king now, so there is no need to put the name of the king of Japan on the prince of the Liao king.

As for when the major projects of the Ming Dynasty will be completed, it is really hard to say, because one project has not started even now.

Emperor Chongzhen's Mausoleum.

It seems to be a rule since ancient times, and I don’t know when it started. The emperors of the Central Plains all like to start modifying their tombs after they ascend the throne. Generally, they need to cultivate as long as they are in power. The scale depends entirely on the length of their reign.

What are the considerations behind this? In addition to the factor of pretending to be generous, it may also have something to do with not wanting to over-exploit people's energy? It is also possible that you are worried that you will have no place to bury your wife if you die, or you are worried that you will have no place to bury your wife in front of you?

Emperor Chongzhen didn't know what the other emperors were thinking, and he couldn't dig a few graves, and then called a few emperors to consult their ideas.

However, since Emperor Chongzhen ascended the throne, the project of Yinling has not been started. Even if the Ministry of Works has proposed it, it has been rejected by Emperor Chongzhen.

In the eyes of Emperor Chongzhen, he was still young no matter how good he was. He was eating well now, and it was unlikely that there would be any accidents. Why did he do such an early repair of the burial?

As time goes by, Emperor Chongzhen has made more and more achievements. It is conceivable that by the time Emperor Chongzhen Long Yubintian, the scale of the mingling will definitely not be small.

Even if I am not in a hurry to repair it now, I have to start repairing it when Emperor Chongzhen is fifty years old. At that time, will this project be small? Will it still use a large number of laborers and supervisors?

Emperor Chongzhen was not interested in letting future generations dig out their own, neither in archaeology nor tomb robbing.

If you want to eliminate the risk of being dug out, the relevant drawings of the Embroidery will be destroyed. The descendants of the Embroidery will be closely monitored for generations. As for the actual construction workers and those who supervise the worker, according to the customs of other emperors, some of them will be dealt with, especially the people who build core tombs and the responsible authorities.

Emperor Chongzhen was reluctant to deal with the people of the Ming Dynasty. So there are better workers in the world than barbarians? There are better supervisors than Japanese slaves? Both are consumables, and they can be spilled out after use, and they don’t feel sorry for them...

In this way, this matter will be more than 20 years of buffering period, so there is no need to worry at all. Unless the construction of Emperor Chongzhen’s tomb is completed, the laborers and supervisors who should be dealt with are dealt with, and that day is really coming, and Emperor Chongzhen will probably be completely lost.

...

Emperor Chongzhen was thinking about whether he was cold or not, but Cohen returned to the Netherlands with a passionate heart.

It is still beneficial to sell a large amount of news from Europe. In addition to gaining the status of the people of the Ming Dynasty, he also got an additional quota, with only half of the others.

Cohen left the quota to his wife.

Li Chengyan was very curious. Cohen did not choose to leave this quota for his parents, nor did he choose to leave this quota for his children, but instead left it to his wife.

This made it difficult for Li Chengyan to understand how important the quota of the people in the Ming Dynasty was. It may not be visible in the Ming Dynasty at all, because everyone has it, so he did not feel how precious it was.

But in Europe where wars are constantly occurring, the identity of a Ming people is more of a safe guarantee.

Taking Cohen himself as an example, even if the Netherlands was eventually defeated, the identity of the Ming people was enough to ensure Cohen's safety in Europe. At least the Holy Roman Empire would not do anything to him, nor would the Holy Church do anything to him.

As for the other small vassal states, do they have the courage to provoke the Ming Dynasty? It is already a blessing that the Ming Dynasty does not provoke them on its own initiative.

In Li Chengyan's view, this kind of opportunity to live or give his or her children is acceptable. Parents are raising their parents. Giving the opportunity to live to their parents is filial, which is a matter of course.

Children are the continuation of their own bloodline, and giving them to them is also for the sake of the next generation, which is normal.

As for the wife, when the two become married couples, they are destined to live in the same bed and die in the same cave. As long as it is not Su Laopo's kindness and accompany his wife to die together, why have to give this place to his wife?

Cohen’s answer to Li Chengyan’s question is simple. Parents will eventually grow old, and their children will eventually leave themselves when they grow up. Only their wives will really accompany them until they grow old.

Since we have been with us for a lifetime, it is not normal for this place to be given to our wife?

Although Li Chengyan did not agree with Cohen's explanation, he did not object to this. This is a real deep affection, not like Su Laopo. Although he did not agree with it, he admired his choice.

After returning to the Netherlands, Cohen did not waste any time, and even told his wife about having a Ming household registration.

Cohen, who had read many books on the Ming Dynasty, understood in his heart that the reason why the Ming Dynasty gave him an additional household registration place was just because he bought a horse bone with a wealth of money.

Simply put, it is because his behavior of betraying European intelligence was recognized by the Ming Dynasty. The Ming Dynasty needed to become a role model and a benchmark to tell others the benefits of following the Ming Dynasty.

Therefore, I cannot slackew. As long as I perform well enough, I will still have to worry about the issue of the Ming Dynasty household registration quota in the future. When I get more household registration quota in the Ming Dynasty, I will still have to worry about whom to give or not?

It’s not a problem for one of your parents, your children, and your lovers and illegitimate children. It’s not a problem for one person, and it’s a big deal!

After pushing open the door of the conference room, Cohen slapped the folder in his hand a few times, then frowned and said, "Gentlemen, please be more modest when smoking, especially when meetings are about to be held."

After sitting down at the stool, Cohen spoke, "Gentlemen, first of all, I have good news and bad news. Which one do you want to listen to first?"

Lansing smiled directly and said, "Mr. Cohen, I hope you can turn bad news into good news, rather than be hit after hearing good news."

Shrugging his shoulders, Cohen smiled and said, "Forget it, I don't have the ability of God, and I can't turn bad news into good news, and Lansing, your crow mouth is really amazing."

Seeing that everyone else frowned slightly and had a little nervousness and entanglement in their expressions, Cohen stopped keeping it and said directly: "First of all, congratulations to all gentlemen, your gold has not been wasted.

You and those you requested are now half of the citizens of the Ming Dynasty. You will have a household registration for the Ming Dynasty, but the word "naturalization" will be indicated on it. This is the good news I brought back to you.

As for the bad news, it is also because of the two words naturalization. Because the existence of these two words means that you are not completely a citizen of the Ming Dynasty, cannot take the imperial examination, and cannot raise questions about the government's decrees. All you can do is accept it."

Others were a little dissatisfied with gold, but it was still one hundred taels of gold. Such a large amount of money was not a small amount no matter where it was placed, especially many people bought dozens of places at one time.

What's the result? But I can't get a complete Ming Dynasty household registration?

Cohen ignored the other people's faces and continued: "As for what I said just now, Lansing's crow mouth is very powerful, it is also because of this reason, because I got half of the Ming Dynasty household registration for you, and the word "naturalization" can be removed."

After taking out a yellow book of Ming Dynasty household registration from my arms, Cohen solemnly placed it on the table, signaling others to take it over and take a look, and then continued: "Did you see it? There are no notes on the word naturalization in my household registration, which means that I already own 100 acres of land, can study, be an official, or join the army.

And then, except for my wife's page, the rest are naturalized, which means they have no land distribution, no right to study, and no right to be an official or join the army. They are only protected by the "Law of the Ming Empire."

Lansing frowned and said, "Half of household registration? So how can you get the other half of household registration, just like you?"

Cohen, who was just disgusted with the inadequate treatment of others smoking, lit the cigarette he brought back from the Ming Dynasty: "It is difficult to say it is difficult, and it is simple to say it is simple.

As long as you can speak fluent Ming dialect, understand the Chinese characters of the Ming Dynasty, and be familiar with some important Ming laws, you can obtain a complete Ming household registration.

Of course, I tried my best to win you. Your children, including my own, must learn to write the Ming Dynasty to obtain a complete household registration."

After dispersing the cigarette in the cigarette box to others and signaling others to taste this cigarette from the Ming Empire in the Far East, Cohen continued: "My wife and I have complete household registration, but the reason is actually very simple.

I have a complete household registration because I know the words of the Ming Dynasty and can speak the language of the Ming Dynasty. This should be expected by all gentlemen.

As for my wife's household registration, it was because I did something that was good for the Ming Dynasty, so I got an additional complete household registration quota, and I left it to my wife."

Lansing frowned and said, "Mr. Cohen, I think we should all contribute to the Ming Dynasty, right? Don't forget that half of the people in the entire European battlefield are using the weapons we sold.

In other words, we not only made a lot of profits for the Ming Dynasty, but also made Europe even weaker. Isn’t this enough to get a complete quota?”

After shaking his head gently, Cohen said, "Sorry, Lansing, although I don't want to hit you too much.

First of all, the Ming Dynasty's arms had no worries about sales. With us and without us, the final result would not change. Without the Dutch East India Company, there would be other East India Company, West India Company, and even the Ming Dynasty could sell directly.

We are like making money based on the arms of the Ming Dynasty. Our so-called contribution is simply dispensable for the Ming Dynasty. It is far less important than your child who can read, speak, and write."

Lansing is now interested. A country that respects knowledge is always more respectful, right?

After complimenting the cigarette Cohen brought back, Lansing asked: "So, can you tell me what you did to get an extra full quota?"

After Cohen took a puff of cigarette, he said meaningfully: "I put together all the situation in Europe into a piece of information and gave it to Daming, so I got an extra place."

Without waiting for other people to ask questions, Cohen continued: "Believe me, gentlemen, even if I do not provide this information, the Ming Dynasty can still obtain all the information I want. This is an opportunity for the gentlemen.

I think no matter what channels you use, you can always get more information, right?"
