The clan system is really troublesome, and there are so many sayings about occupying a piece of land. When the suzerainty goes to occupy the land of the suzerain, it is always inconsistent with the system of the Celestial Empire, and this matter is estimated to be enough for the court to quarrel for a while.

This has nothing to do with pedantic or not pedantic, but the three views under the Celestial Empire system are like this, right and wrong need an evaluation system, even if you kill someone, you will have different judgments because of different evaluation systems.

It is unthinkable that the Celestial Empire will ask for a piece of land in a vassal country, and it may even garrison troops and trade in the future.

Portugal occupies Macao, and it has always been able to justify itself, and it has always retained the face of the Celestial Empire. That's the reward.

North Korea will have a lot of trouble.

In order to prevent provoking Japan or being wary of Japan, Liu Yu has never done anything in North Korea.

Japan closed off the country, and there were two places to collect intelligence.

One is Nagasaki, and the other is Tsushima for the Pilgrims. North Korea has also been in communication with Japan.

North Korea is generally relatively smart. At least in terms of military supplies such as war horses, the blockade of Japan is very strict, and they will not dare to sell anything because of profits. This kind of cleverness makes it possible for North Korea to notify Japan if the Celestial Empire makes too many moves in Korea.

That's really not true.

Now that the treasury is going to invest money in the navy, Liu Yu's steps can be slightly bigger.

The shogunate system was slow to respond, and even if there was any move in Korea that aroused Japan's vigilance, it would be two or three years later.

When he completely reacts, he will ban Liu Yu's trade cards, and it will also provoke the maritime groups in the entire Jiangsu and Zhejiang regions.

Not to mention donating a few ships to support the war, at least the transportation of food and troops must be done with all their might.

The more people you kidnap, the more powerful you will be when the war is launched. In previous wars, most people did not get short-term benefits, but this time it will be closely related to the short-term interests of many people.

As long as Japan can be forced to open the country, it will actually solve the Korean issue by the way.

Because there was no Manchu Qing Dynasty to move the border and ban the sea, North Korea did not have the opportunity to trade heavily with Japan 50 years ago, so North Korea did not have enough heavy metal reserves. It is impossible to mint money.

North Korea is still vacillating on the question of whether to use "money" in the end, and with the mining of Dashun's Yunnan copper mine, Dashun has the ability to make North Korea use Chinese money.

Economic control is a new type of suzerain-vassal relationship.

The occupation is a loss, because North Korea has nothing.

What Dashun urgently needs now is the cotton production area and dumping area. Only by dumping abroad can we ensure that the impact on the small peasant economy will be lighter, and the emperor will not panic and be conservative, and he will be able to go a little further before he reacts.

The former, neither North Korea nor Japan. The climate in the Western Regions is upward, but it can't be transported, and the only solution is to go down to the South Seas to India.

Britain has cotton fields in the Americas, and the arable land in Dashun is too tight, and the northeast, where the land is scarce and has access to the sea, cannot grow cotton.

If the Central Plains really wants to grow cotton on a large scale, the only way to solve it is for India to become a cotton-producing area, and Japan and North Korea to dump land to alleviate the internal impact of the handicraft revolution.

So Japan is important, and North Korea is also important.

The most important thing in this kind of thing is whether the great Confucians in the court can find a general meaning that "supports a new type of clan relationship" or a direction for interpreting the scriptures.

The distinction between righteousness and benefit is not only in people, but also in the relationship between countries.

In this direction, Liu Yu knows it in his own heart, and he knows that it is useless to mix. The level is not enough, and if you can't talk about others, you can only hope to lay a good economic foundation and have your own great Confucianism to interpret the scriptures.

Fortunately, at this time, Liu Yu said more tactfully, not revealing his ambitions, but saying that he borrowed two pieces of land from North Korea as a transit point for immigrants.

As the envoy of the Whale Sea Festival, this matter is also within his bounds, and he cannot be regarded as interfering in politics beyond his authority.

Moreover, he did not say that he would force the DPRK to open the country now, but only borrowed a piece of land to avoid the wind, and the temporary opposition in the court was not very large.

After inquiring about the rights, responsibilities and requirements of the Jiedu Whale Sea, this court meeting is basically over.

The general direction has been decided, and the details have their own systems, and then they will be discussed again.

The imperial court would invest 1,200,000 taels of silver in the navy every year, and in the past two years, it would first start building a military academy, and in the capital and the northwest army would begin military reform, and within a year it would send people to Korea to negotiate the issue of "leasing land."

When the court meeting was over, the emperor summoned Liu Yu again.

"Aiqing has been awarded for meritorious service this time, and the affairs of the Jue Mansion should also be considered. I thought that I would build an earl's mansion for you in Weihai, but I thought that Aiqing was talented and capable, and he would make new contributions in the future, so he would have to share his worries in the court, so this uncle's mansion would be in the capital. ”

The emperor said it very tactfully, and Liu Yu listened very clearly.

The construction of the Earl's Mansion in Weihai doesn't mean that Liu Yuyong will be allowed to carry out the navy? Obviously this is not possible.

Building the Earl's Palace in the capital is equivalent to telling Liu Yu that you will return to the capital in a few years. Xungui is always Xungui, there is only one Zen position in the country, and the Gao family is named Yungui Yongzhen, like Liu Yu, a nobleman who has some ability, after all, he can't always be outside the town.

Referring to the Earl's Court, Liu Yu also made a gesture.

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that now is the time for the dynasty to use money. The specifications of this Earl's Palace, please don't be luxurious. With this money, it is better to build two more warships. ”

"The minister is not the kind of person who sells his reputation and reputation, nor does he want to pretend to be honest and thrifty. The minister also understands that the feudal mansion is a manifestation of the hierarchy, and the monarch and the ministers are clearly hierarchical. Courtyard pavilions, pattern gates, this can not be saved, but the interior decoration can be saved. ”

Li Gan said with a smile: "It is said that civil officials don't love money, military attaches are not afraid of death, and the world is under great rule." Aiqing is really a model for courtiers, loyal to the country, and I am very comforted. Aiqing works hard, and a little enjoyment is nothing. ”

That's a compliment, but it doesn't sound like a good word either.

People always have what they want, and if they don't want this, they want that.

A courtier who is both capable, but not greedy for money and indulges in enjoyment, is a bit terrible for the emperor.

Hai Gangfeng can, that's because he is a Wenchen. Wenchen doesn't love money, which is a good thing.

Liu Yu can't, because he has the ability to train and take charge of troops. The generals don't love money, and the emperor has a pimple in his heart.

"Your Majesty, the minister doesn't like to enjoy it. Don't get tired of eating, don't get tired of being fine, like flowers and beautiful family servants, who doesn't like it? ”

"It's just that, it's the same meat, beef and mutton, some people like to eat mutton, some people like to eat beef. If compared to brown rice, both beef and lamb are good. But if you can only choose one of beef and mutton, it depends on what people want. ”

Li Gan listened to this slightly strange analogy, and he was also a little puzzled in his heart, and asked, "Then Aiqing, what is the enjoyment you want most?" ”

Liu Yu felt a little helpless in his heart, and said in his heart, even if this era is the top enjoyment, what can it do?

No matter how well the house is built, it can't compare to the convenience and comfort of the previous life; No matter how many maids there are, you have to consider whether the kidneys can stand it, and if you play too much, your heart will be empty.

No matter how good the carriage is, it is not as comfortable as a high-speed train of 100 yuan; No matter how calm a mule is, it can't compare to a cheap car.

Accustomed to eating fatty meat, who would treat these multigrain nests as enjoyment?

Where can these things compare to the thrill of crisscrossing the world?

Power, and the power that comes with changing the world, is the supreme enjoyment. After experiencing it, I knew that it was far more addictive than those short-lived and empty pleasures.

The emperor should understand this truth, or definitely understand this level, but how to express it is another problem.

"Your Majesty, when the minister crossed the Altai Mountains and went straight to Ili, there was a wonderful feeling. Looking at the cattle and sheep all over the mountains, listening to the Mongolian muttered by the locals, looking at the people with white hats and black hats and flower hats, I thought that this was the Anxi Protectorate in the Tang Dynasty? ”

"Farewell for a thousand years, goodbye wind and moon have changed."

"When the minister rode his horse and whipped the soldiers to sing the Han song, he thought about the changes of the millennium, and thought that the minister could feel the pleasure of the general of the Tang Anxi Army as His Majesty's 'loyal dog', which was far more comfortable than sleeping beauties and wrapping silk."

"Returning from Yili and walking along the way, the minister will think that this is the way to Shuzhong after Li Qinglian was born; This is Gao Shi's way to do side poems; This is the road that Bowang Hou hollowed out of the Western Regions; This is the way Dawan horse enters Weiyang Palace......"

"That feeling is really far more refreshing than sharing a bed with JAC Oiran."

"A long time ago, the minister was still young, just parroting, learning what Huo Champion said about the Huns not being destroyed. But when he grew up a little and really went to the frontier, he realized that the pleasure enjoyed by Huo Champion could not be compared to that of a mere family? ”

"Now that our dynasty is as magnificent as the Tang Dynasty, the minister wants to go to the territory that the Tang Dynasty has never reached. The war against Japan is related to whether our dynasty can prosper like the Tang Dynasty in the future, and whether we can protect the 'Western Regions' of our dynasty. Thinking of this, the minister hoped that he would rather build a few more ships. ”

"When you retire in the future, when the country is prosperous and peaceful, you will build the mansion and enjoy it. When the time comes, the minister will also be old, and there will be talented people in the country, each leading the way for hundreds of years, and the minister will read the newspaper in the house, isn't it beautiful? ”

This is half true affection and half loyalty to prevent suspicion, and Li Gan is also excited.

The feelings that Liu Yu said, he had felt that when the quasi-ministry surrendered and presented the Western Regions Atlas, the feeling was really similar to what Liu Yu said.

Thinking of the magnificence of the future, Li Gan was in a stirring mood and praised: "Strong! I will live up to me, I will live up to you! You and I will join hands with the monarchs and ministers to fight for Dashun to fight my Dashun's Western Regions Protectorate! ”

Full of passionate words, in Liu Yu's ears, it became a problem. Your words are the law, how can Lao Tzu live up to you? It's not up to you to say it?

Besides, you and I are on the same road, and sooner or later one day we will go on different paths. The Dashun Dynasty belongs to your Li family, but China is not your family.

The heart was cold, but there was a look of gratitude on his face: the panic was mixed with a trace of the emperor's mighty touch; The excitement is mixed with a true feeling of living up to the emperor's grace. The layers are clear, the integration is consistent, and I can't make this kind of expression if I haven't been in the officialdom for three or five years.

After thanking him, the emperor said, "It's just that even if you want to be frugal, the money under this thrift can't be used in the navy." In this way, I originally planned that since the treasury paid for it, my internal dividends would be recovered, and I had been short of money recently. Since you have this heart, I will invest in the navy with this year's internal dividends. Just build one more big ship to help you get things done. ”

"However, when you talk about this Hun not being destroyed, why is it home...... I've heard something. I'm afraid that you are not a Hun who has not been destroyed and does not say anything, but you have a heart, but your father is not at home, so you can't mention your relatives? ”
