"You just said that there are two things, and what is the other thing?" Chen Mo asked with a smile.

"Ziyi is gone." Dian Wei sighed and said, "The crown prince asked the last general to come and ask Your Majesty, who is suitable to take over Ziyi's position?" ”

Chen Mo's hand holding the file trembled, took a deep breath, closed his eyes, and said, "He decides for himself, I have already said that the affairs of the court are up to him." ”

Dian Wei looked at Chen Mo, hesitated for a moment and said, "Your Majesty, the last general wants to move here with Your Majesty." ”

"If you don't enjoy a good life of wealth and prosperity, what are you doing in this poor mountain and remote place?" Chen Mo glanced at him and said, "After fighting all his life, the more he lives when he gets old, the more he goes back, and he is not afraid of people's jokes?" ”

"It's a joke, Your Majesty is here, if they want to laugh, they should laugh at Your Majesty first, and then there will be another ...... at the end of the year," Dian Wei said here and suddenly paused.

"Okay, you can live if you want, although it is not as prosperous as Luoyang, there are a lot of vacant houses, and I will teach these boys to hunt in the future." Chen Mo nodded.

"Whoa!" Dian Wei heard the new words.

"When will Ziyi be buried?" Chen Mo asked suddenly.

"On the ninth day of the seventh month, Your Majesty, are you going?" Dian Wei Dao.

"Naturally, I want to go, Ziyi and I met when I was a teenager, and Ziyi at that time was ...... That's really a look that you hate even more, domineering, he specifically contradicted the official, others are the better they live, but he has no ability, but the more mixed up the worse, and finally offended people, ran to Liaodong to avoid trouble, until I did the Taishou in Hedong, he didn't come back, now think about it, many years have passed...... Alas~" Chen Mo sighed leisurely, the biggest thing he has learned in the past few years is to accept the departure of relatives and friends one by one, teachers, mothers, Jia Xu, Lu Bu, Tai Shici, now think about it, these generals who fought the world with him, now the rest are Gao Shun, Cui Geng, Yu Sheng and Dian Wei.

"Your Majesty, don't be hurt, this ...... What do you say? People are going to die anyway. Dian Wei scratched his head, wanting to change the topic, his eyes looked at these things that Chen Mo was fiddling with, and said curiously: "Lord, what is this?" ”

"Gunpowder, and a steam engine." Chen Mo put down a fairly flat iron plate? Put it in a finished mold? And then begin to water the reign, to connect this thing with copper juice? I started to do the bracket again.

"What's the use?" Dian Wei was puzzled.

"Not now? But it will definitely be used in the future. Chen Mo smiled: "As long as someone keeps doing this, in another three or five hundred years?" That's pretty much it. Chen Mo smiled.

"Three...... Three to five hundred years!? Dian Wei looked at Chen Mo in amazement.

"Well, somebody has to be working on this all the time? If it is from now on? I'm afraid that I may not be able to get it out in a thousand years, this gunpowder is not difficult, but this steam engine ......" Chen Mo shook his head, he can now use the Seiko way? Spend time polishing a steam engine? But if you want to get this thing through and use it, someone has to keep working in this direction, and if it breaks in the middle and picks it up again, he thinks it will depend on luck for a thousand years? He is preparing a book like this to be passed on to future generations, hoping to leave more things for future generations.

"Your Majesty? What are you doing with this stuff? Let the people of three to five hundred years do it, why should we do it? Dian Wei was puzzled.

"Are you afraid that they are busy fighting for power and profit? Reluctant to study these things. Chen Mo shook his head and sighed: "Gai Ming'er summoned Liu Yi and Ma Jun and asked them to leave one to study with me?" This thing? Even if the Ming Dynasty is dead? It can't die. ”

"Your Majesty, don't say frustrating words, the Ming Dynasty will definitely be passed on to generations to come." Dian Wei hurriedly said.

"If I can pass it on for thirty generations, I will be content." Chen Mo glanced at Dian Wei with a smile, it is impractical for thousands of generations, unless at the end of the Ming Dynasty, it can gradually find the next whole that belongs to the East, and the productivity can achieve rapid breakthroughs, that is, each generation after Chen Mo has spent a lot of energy to promote the development of industry, in that case, three hundred years later, it may be possible to let China enter the era of science and technology for thousands of years, and at that time, there will be a chance to say what to say for thousands of generations, and now this kind of government, which lasts for three hundred years, is already the limit in Chen Mo's view, and it will be chaotic after three hundred years, Even if the Son of Heaven is wise at that time, he will not be able to change this fact, and the Ming Dynasty at that time will inevitably have a bloated political system, and the population will also reach a limit.

Dian Wei looked at Chen Mo blankly, with a blank face, how could anyone talk about his dynasty like this?

"Forget it, you don't understand." Chen Mo shook his head and sighed, and continued to do his own thing.

In the next few days, Dian Wei moved to Chen Mo's side to live, playing with a group of emperors and grandchildren every day, Chen Mo took his grandchildren to plow the fields, Dian Wei went hunting in order to avoid suspicion, or followed Chen Mo to farm together, and listened to Chen Mo give lectures to the children at night, but he was also quite comfortable, and it was better to do something than nothing.

On the ninth day of the seventh month, Chen Mo took Dian Wei to Tai Shi Ci to host the funeral, although it was not long, but after so many old people left, Chen Mo also looked down on life and death, and encouraged Tai Shi Ci's heirs, and took Dian Wei to continue to return to Beibi Mountain, ploughing the fields, studying, and studying.

Three years passed quietly, until the third year, Chen Jin personally took the ministers to the North Mountain to ask Chen Mo to come down the mountain to regain control of the government.

In the fifth year of Kaiyuan, the mark left by the previous dynasty has basically been erased, and the plague that has raged in the world for decades has also disappeared with the end of the war and the vigorous governance of the imperial court, and the people's livelihood has gradually recovered in these five years.

After Chen Mo returned to the dynasty, he regained power and did not feel jerky in charge of the government, but after the last dynasty, he did not disturb the national policy set by Chen Jin, but only issued an order to encourage the traders to travel overseas, and by the way, he helped Daming draw a sea chart.

With the popularization of keel ships to the people, now Daming has begun to appear merchants who take the sea route, and they have been to Fusang as far as possible, and Fusang also sent people to learn from it, but Chen Mo refused, but he was willing to trade with Fusang, and the products of Fusang can enter Daming through maritime merchants.

But if you want to learn things, the ideas of Confucianism and Taoism can be transmitted, but those folk techniques of the Ming Dynasty, such as textiles, pottery and other folk handicrafts, are forbidden to be taught to foreign peoples, which is something written into the Ming law.

After Chen Mo encouraged the sea trade, he didn't care anymore, and the traders would naturally figure out how to use the policy of the imperial court to plunder a large amount of wealth from overseas, such as pottery and silk from the Ming Dynasty, in fact, according to different levels on the Ming side, not all of them are expensive, but overseas, a piece of pottery with poor craftsmanship can be sold at a sky-high price, in exchange for gold, silver or rare minerals, Chen Mo also makes people pay attention to high-yield crops overseas, as long as they are found and brought back, the court will have a heavy reward.

It is precisely because of Chen Mo's words that the era of navigation belonging to the Ming Dynasty began from here, as for what the future can develop, Chen Mo doesn't care, he just starts, he wants to have a result, he has seen it in his lifetime, the fifth year of Kaiyuan has passed in Chen Mo's busyness, and this busyness is mainly to test Chen Jin's achievements during the reign of the prince, whether he is qualified to accept the important responsibility, and the result is still satisfactory to Chen Mo, he feels that it is time for him to let go and hand over the burden of the world to Chen Jin.

In the sixth year of Kaiyuan, in March, the imperial palace, the imperial study, Chen Mo told Chen Jin what he meant.

"Father, the son has no intention of usurping, please ask the father to learn from it." After Chen Jin heard what Chen Mo meant, his heart trembled, there was no surprise, only fright, he knelt directly on the ground and said to Chen Mo.

"I know, get up, what kind of system will I become!?" Chen Mo waved his hand and motioned for Chen Jin to get up.

"Father...... Sons. Chen Jin looked at Chen Mo and frowned, "But someone is slandering?" ”

"No, this world is called by me, and you don't have enough to take it from me." Chen Mo shook his head and said, "As for the current legend to you, it is also my meaning, you all come over." ”

Chen Zheng and Chen Rui were also a little stunned at the moment.

"Father, you are now at the peak of the Spring and Autumn Period, why did you have this idea?" Chen Jin looked at Chen Mo in confusion.

"The time when people have the most energy in this life is the time between thirty and fifty." Chen Mo said: "Jin'er is now past the age of standing, you should also experience, with your level, it is enough to govern the country, but if I don't die for a long time, don't talk far, I will live for another twenty years, then Jin'er will be more than fifty, but the best years of my life are used on intrigues, if I leave in a hurry, you will have to be in a hurry, it is better for me to step down early, enjoy a few years of happiness, and at the same time avoid some unnecessary internal friction." ”

The three Chen Jin brothers did not dare to speak.

"Do you know what I am most afraid of in this life?" Chen Mo looked at the three brothers and said in a deep voice.

"This ...... Don't you know? Chen Jin and the three of them looked at each other, their father fought all his life, I heard that he killed people in the chaos at the age of ten, entered Luoyang at the age of thirteen, led the army to conquer at the age of fourteen, beheaded the generals before the battle, and then the heroes competed for the deer, from a small prince to sweep the world step by step, I really can't think of such a person, what else is he afraid of?

"I have fought the world all my life, I have killed the enemy with a sword, and I have a pen to fix the country, but I am still a person, a father, I am not afraid of the chaos in the world, it is a big deal to start all over again, what I am most afraid of is that your brothers kill each other!" Chen Mo patted Chen Jin and Chen Rui on the shoulders, and said leisurely: "The royal family is the largest family in the world, but it is also the smallest, you look at the Han Dynasty, how many descendants of the Han family are there?" Only that Liu Neng had more than 300 sons, but in the end it died, throughout the history of the Han Dynasty, you will find that among the children of the Han family, there were still some outstanding people in the early days, but later there were fewer and fewer? Why? It's not that there are no heroes, but even if there are heroes, they don't dare to take the lead, but ordinary families are different, as long as there are outstanding children in the clan, they will try their best to cultivate, so that the royal family is not necessarily virtuous in every generation, but the scholars have heroes in every generation, which is also the reason why the Han family has fallen to this. ”

Chen Jin was silent, the most ruthless emperor, and now he somewhat understood the reason for Chen Mo's early abdication.

"The right is a very good thing, but if you can't restrain the desire to control it, it will eventually perish, I will start for my Ming Dynasty, with me, you can rest assured to take over the throne, after a hundred years, if you can still lose this throne, I can only say that you are not as good as people, I just want your brothers and sisters not to kill each other, let my royal family, there can be some heroes, can deter the ministers, Jin'er, the threat of the royal family has never been other royal children, but the ministers! I hope you can understand it, as for the rules, I won't stand for my father, what is eternal in this world is change, I can restrain three generations, but after three generations, it will not be under my control, after succeeding to the throne, I hope you can afford to carry this country! I also hope that my Chen family can really last forever! ”

"The retainers obey!" Chen Jin hurriedly bowed down and kowtowed to Chen Mo.

"Go and prepare, the first day of the next month is an auspicious day for the zodiac, and I am located in you!"

"Whoa!"
