He is also a festival envoy, and he is a protector...... In a trance, the Ming Dynasty turned out all the officials of the past dynasties, not to mention, Zhu Houxi planned to do so.

Since accepting Wang Yue's suggestion, Zhu Houxi's thinking has also opened.

First of all, it must be admitted that there is an upper limit to the capabilities of any individual, any country, and it is impossible to put oneself in an infinitely high position.

Before the Ming Dynasty, the largest empire in the world was the Mongol Empire, Genghis Khan divided the four khanates, and the area controlled by the Mongols was unprecedentedly vast, but if you study it a little, you will find problems.

Not to mention that the four khanates attacked each other and fought endlessly. These four khanates alone have taken different paths of development.

Take the Yuan Dynasty, which occupied the Central Plains, as an example...... These Mongols learned Chinese characters, spoke Chinese, adopted Confucian traditions, and governed the world, although there were some differences from previous dynasties, but they basically inherited a thousand-year-old tradition.

However, the other three khanates, especially the Ilkhanate, which occupied the Arabian Peninsula, directly adopted the local religion as the state religion...... There is no doubt that the Mongols were strong in force, but they still had to adapt to local conditions and compromise with local forces, otherwise they would not be able to manage effectively.

Instead of making the territory as vast as possible, it is better to let the culture of the Ming Dynasty spread to the whole world and influence the whole world with soft power.

This is not to say that you don't play the contrary, this is done in order to use more financial and material resources to develop the strength of the Ming Dynasty.

Don't waste your precious power on endless expansion.

A more flexible approach is used for those areas that are beyond the scope of strength...... Those who can establish commercial ties are controlled by means of trade, those who can immigrate are encouraged to immigrate, and those who are willing to naturalize are naturalized as much as possible...... All in all, go all out to expand the scope of influence of the Ming Dynasty, and for other things, just take one step at a time and make steady progress.

Wang Yue was hungry and Zhu Houxi chatted for a long time, and he could be regarded as finalizing the overall strategy...... They designed layers of structure for the Ming Dynasty.

First of all, of course, there are areas that are effectively controlled, and these places have to establish a provincial administrative framework and dispatch officials to directly administer them...... Outside the provincial-level area, the establishment of the festival envoy.

The so-called festival envoy is a bit similar to the situation in the Tang Dynasty, but it is different.

The grade of the Ming Dynasty is uncertain, how to say it, a bit similar to the Song Dynasty's dispatch officer, with a high degree of knots, you can hang the military department of the book, the right capital of the imperial history title, the status is similar to the governor.

Under normal circumstances,Such a festival is to make it,It's responsible for a relatively high degree of sinicization.,The geographical location is relatively important in the region.,Even the next step can be upgraded to a province.。

And once the important task of opening up the territory and expanding the territory is completed, it is almost inevitable that such a festival will enter the cabinet and pay homage to the prime minister.

But there are also festival envoys, who only hang the title of the imperial history of the capital, and even the title of supervising the imperial history, such as Li Tianpet this time, he is the seventh rank of the imperial history.

But no matter how high the official position is, as long as it is a temperance envoy, the authority is the same within the territory.

They control the civil affairs, military, taxation, personnel, and all powers. There is even the power to wage war. Of course, the soldiers and horses controlled by the Jiedu envoy are not the most elite Jingying people.

This also determines that the knots can bully ordinary enemies at most.

But even so, the festival envoy is quite terrifying.

Compared with the Jiedu envoy's territory, for those areas that are more distant and less sinicized, but the location is equally important, the capital will be set up.

The powers and moderation of the protectors were similar, but they were more military...... Take the Western Regions Protectorate established this time as an example, in the jurisdiction of the Protectorate, some tribes are allowed to use their own methods to manage the land and the people, as long as they respect the laws of the Ming Dynasty and obey the rule of the Ming Dynasty.

But in terms of authority,Duhu also has an important mission,That is, to promote sinicization,Jiedu envoys are similar,The goal of their efforts is to make these lands,Become the real territory of the Ming Dynasty。

……

In addition to the festival and the protection, there is another level.

According to Wang Yue and Zhu Houxi's definition, these areas are stakeholder areas. If there is a state or government in the region, trade and exchange should be done as much as possible.

As for the place that is still blank, it is to encourage the people of the Ming Dynasty to go over as soon as possible, occupy the land, and plant the flag as the king.

For these brave pioneers, the imperial court should give encouragement.

At this point, the outlines of the future world order have finally emerged.

"Dad, the child probably can't stay in Daming."

Yan Shifan came back from Tumochuan, and when he saw his father Yan Song, he took the initiative to say.

Yan Song hadn't said anything, but Mrs. Ouyang was frightened. She and Yan Songke are just such a son, and they are still old, what is this bastard talking about!

"Da Ming is so big, it's not enough for you? Besides, your father and your mother are still alive, where do you want to go? ”

Yan Shifan looked at the old lady and sighed slightly.

"Mother, you don't understand...... This time I have seen what it means to be clever, in the past I was just clever and clever...... If the child doesn't make a career, even my junior brothers can't compare. ”

Hearing his son say this, Yan Song put down his chopsticks and said happily: "Qing'er, you can be regarded as grown up...... The current Ming Dynasty, the government and the opposition, there are many talents, let's not talk about Yuanfu, not to mention Xu Jie, Zhang Jing and those Shangshu, just those newcomers, let the father be amazed. They have the talent to learn, have the courage, and are willing to endure hardships, or in ten years, they will inevitably become pillars. Your father's second assistant really can't be for too long......"

"If you can't do it, go home! It's okay, what are you talking so much about? ”

Ouyang scolded viciously, Yan Song grinned bitterly, he could only bury his head in eating, who made him afraid of guilt!

Yan Shifan is not very afraid of the old lady, and what he wants to do is also correct, he is right!

"Mother, everyone says that a good man has ambitions in all directions, so you can't bear to let the child stay at home? Being a useless trash? ”

Ouyang inhaled heavily, stared at Yan Shifan, and said after a long time: "Qing'er, my father and mother are just a child like you, your parents are here, and you can't bear to be separated from us if you don't travel far?" Are you in such a hurry to be an unfilial son? Otherwise, when I'm dead, I can go wherever you want, okay? ”

Ouyang's voice trembled, and he was about to cry, Yan Song couldn't bear it anymore, "Madam, don't worry, listen to what Qing'er says, where he plans to go, and then say something else." ”

Yan Shifan sulked his head, "I'm going to go to the Americas." ”

"What?" Ouyang was stunned, "Meizhou? Is it Shuzhong? That's how far away! No, no! ”

Yan Shifan shook his head, "Mother, if I go to Meizhou, I won't have to spit at the foam...... I'm going to go to the Americas, to go overseas! ”

"No way!"

This time Ouyang understood, she stood up abruptly and poked Yan Shifan's head with her fingers.

"I'm telling you, Qing'er! Even if I die, don't think about going to sea, otherwise, you won't be a descendant of the Yan family! ”

Yan Song grinned, "Madam, no, no, no!" ”

"Phew!"

Ouyang took a sip and roared at Yan Song: "You dead old man, I can see it, you instigated it, our son is so young, how can he think of so much?" You father, for the sake of the black yarn hat and your future, you threw away your son, you want to be angry with me! ”

No matter how Yan Song explained, it was all useless, and Ouyang was furious and scolded the second assistant without saying a word. Yan Song is also unlucky, he was a poor boy in his early years, he started late, he owes his wife too much, and it doesn't work to say anything.

At this time, suddenly the family sent a letter, and Ouyang Bi came in.

This is a rare guest, since entering the cabinet, Ouyang Bijin has never entered the gate of the Yan Mansion, he always thinks that as a member of the Shangshu Pavilion, he just does things with his ability and works with his conscience, and he must not rely on relationships, especially not on his brother-in-law.

But today Ouyang Bi came in, not only came, but also came over with wine and food.

Ouyang Bijin smiled all over his face, and his wrinkles were all open.

When Ouyang saw his younger brother coming, he was also happy, and finally came to help.

"Tell my sister about this kid." She pointed at Yan Shifan, "This kid is going to the Americas, you can't be angry when you say it!" ”

Ouyang Bijin raised his eyebrows, and suddenly laughed, "I know, I know!" ”

He reached out and grabbed Yan Shifan's arm and shook it excitedly.

"Okay! You kid really have a vision...... The three of us are what you told them, right? Ouyang Bijin sighed and said: "I'm still worried, these three children just know how to study hard, reading is not bad, you can read thousands of books, travel thousands of miles, man, if you want to be promising, you have to go out......"

Ouyang's face turned green, I asked you to persuade Yan Shifan, how can you praise it!

"Isn't it good that the children are at home and the family is reunited? Do you have to part with life and death? I don't believe it, I don't have any money at home? ”

Ouyang Bijin sighed lightly, "Sister, do you know, dozens of invitations were sent out in the palace just now, and for the first batch of people who went to sea, His Majesty wants to give them Danshu iron coupons!" ”

"Danshu Iron Coupon?"

"yes, it's not for heroes...... It was given to the sea to open up, and His Majesty intended to tell them that no matter where they go, they are all sons of the Han family and descendants of the Ming Dynasty...... Sister, think about it, what a grace this is! ”
