Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    In the palace of the Spanish Empire, Charles V was constantly asking Alfred, Torres, and Pelos about all aspects of the East.

    The ambitious Charles V had a lot to learn in order to build a powerful and unified empire.

    "Your Majesty, another important reason why the Ming Empire is so powerful is that the Ming Empire has an extremely large population!"

    "According to the latest census data of the Ming Empire, the population of the Ming Empire now has exceeded 400 million, which has doubled from 20 years ago. With such a huge population, the vast majority of them are Han Chinese  , this is the basis for the strength and stability of the Ming Empire."

    "Our European countries are not only scattered, but most importantly, the population is far less than that of the Ming Empire. Our current total population in Spain is only more than 10 million, not even a fraction of the Ming Empire."

    Torres mentioned the population of Ming Dynasty to Charles V.

    "Your Majesty, what Torres said is true. The population of the Ming Empire is indeed very large. Not only the Ming Empire, but also the populations of vassal states such as Korea and Japan are very large."

    Pelos also nodded and said.

    "The population in the East is huge, which has a lot to do with the Eastern people's emphasis on inheritance. They attach great importance to this, so in the East, as long as there are conditions, they will take in as many concubines as possible, in order to  Increase the number of people in your family."

    "Most of our female slaves in Europe eventually became concubines of the Ming Dynasty. Among the newborns of the Ming Dynasty, a large part are mixed-race offspring."

    "Looking at our European side, the population has not been prosperous for a long time. This is largely because we in Europe attach great importance to the so-called bloodline. Therefore, from kings to ordinary people, they often only marry one wife.  , the result is that our population growth is far less than that of the Ming people."

    "This is why I persuaded His Majesty to open up the harem and have more children. Your Majesty should learn from the emperors of the Ming Empire and set an example for us Spanish people. In this way, our Spanish population will continue to increase and we will have enough  With a large population, we can also conquer more land like the Ming Empire and become stronger and stronger."

    Torres explained some of the stakes to Charles V.

    In fact, although Europe is said to be monogamous in many cases, the upper class society in Europe is famous for its chaos, and promiscuity is commonplace.

    This kind of thing is called romanticism by them. It has been very popular in later generations and spread. The result is that everyone is just for fun and has never thought about the issues and matters of having children. This population  Naturally, it will not grow any more.

    On the other hand, in the Ming Dynasty, it was impossible to mess around, and it could only be done at home, so having concubines was the right way, and good things would never be shared everywhere like European nobles.

    This naturally leads to differences. The population in Ming Dynasty has grown very rapidly. Especially in recent years, Ming Dynasty has gradually become stronger, with more land and higher food production. The key is that the level of medical and health care has also been slowly and steadily improving.  This population is growing explosively.

    Some people here in the Ming Dynasty have already predicted that in another 20 years, the population of the Ming Dynasty may exceed 1 billion. With such a huge population, the entire Ming Empire will be so powerful. It is estimated that other countries have no intention of competing with the Ming Dynasty.  The idea of ??Clash of Empires.

    "That's it."

    After hearing this, Charles V immediately nodded.

    Then he sighed and said: "With a population of 400 million, the Ming Empire has too many people!"

    "Your Majesty, the Ming Empire is powerful in all aspects!"

    "The Ming Dynasty has an extremely vast territory, and the sun will never set on the land of the Ming Empire. The Ming Empire also has an extremely huge population, more than 400 million people. The Ming Empire can mobilize its millions of people at will.  Armies rise.¡±

    "The Ming Empire's annual tax revenue exceeds 1.5 billion taels of silver. The huge tax revenue is enough for the Ming Empire to do anything. They can build railways to Sichuan, a country with extremely steep mountains and rivers."

    Speaking of the power of the Ming Empire, Alfred also sighed.

    "However, we don't have to envy the Ming people, because the Ming people also developed step by step. Thirty years ago, the Ming Empire was actually very average."

    "that timeThere is so much food to eat that they need to export large quantities to all parts of the world. Even if the price is very low, they still make money.  "

    "So I was thinking that if we in Spain want to become stronger, we must integrate into the global economic system, integrate into the economic system of the Ming Empire, and occupy a position in it, so that we can have a steady stream of money.  into our Spain.¡±

    After listening to Pelos' words, everyone nodded slightly. The food of the Ming people was really cheap and seemed to be endless. This was a fact. Even in the years of famine, they sold it to Europeans at extremely low prices. Obviously  It is to dump a large amount of their own food.

    "This time the new Ming emperor ascends the throne, it is an important opportunity for Spain and the Ming Empire to maintain friendly relations. We should attach great importance to it, prepare generous gifts, and send important ministers to the Ming Empire to attend this ceremony."

    ¡°There will be many, many places where Spain will rely on the Ming Empire in the future!¡±
