Chapter 335: Shousuke's Thoughts
When he saw Zhang Juzheng again, Shi Yiwen's mood could not be described as complicated, after all, he was ...... At least in fact, he's his father-in-law.
muttering so in his heart, Shi Yiwen saluted respectfully.
"Xiaguan has seen Shousuke."
"Sit!"
Putting down the book in his hand, Zhang Juzheng did not immediately mention the matter, but said with a smile.
"You don't have to see the outside like this in the future, Ziqi is the niece of the inner son, since you have already made a marriage, it is your own family."
Although he talked about his family, Zhang Juzheng did not say that he should be called "uncle", obviously...... didn't regard him as "his own family" at all.
"Yes, yes."
With a smile on his lips, Shi Yiwen went straight to the point.
"I don't know if my uncle will recruit my little nephew back to Beijing, but what are your instructions?"
Even if Zhang Juzheng didn't treat him as his "own family", it would not prevent Shi Yiwen from treating him as his "own family", after all, who let himself be with his daughter? Other people's daughters have no name and no share, this thing ...... It's not your own fault.
"I can't tell you anything."
Looking at the young man in front of him, Zhang Juzheng's heart can be described as a mixture of flavors, and he naturally thought of his daughter again, if it weren't for him, why would his daughter be incognito, and how could he ...... That's it, his hard-working daughter, even without him, this life is already miserable, isn't it all her own harm in the end?
Women are afraid of marrying the wrong man!
If he can go back to Daming a few years earlier, maybe ......
Hey, he sighed in his heart, and when he was thinking about Ziqi finding a good match, suddenly, Zhang Juzheng's heart jumped suddenly, and he immediately thought that his daughter was hiding in the Tang family, in case ...... Could it be that they have already met, and if this is the case, will they ...... between them?
His face changed suddenly, although he realized that possibility in his heart, Zhang Juzheng looked at him and said quietly.
"The old man already knows the suggestion you made to Fu Zuozhou in Nanjing."
After saying that, he stared at Shi Yiwen and asked rhetorically.
"Looks like you still want to go back to the old port!"
Although he didn't know what Zhang Juzheng was thinking, Shi Yiwen was sure that he was definitely testing himself by asking this.
"People inevitably miss the old, besides, the old port is also the homeland of the Ming Dynasty, the Shi family was ordered by the ancestor to preach the old port of the Ming Dynasty, and the generations have guarded the land for the Ming Dynasty, but now they have lost their land for a hundred years, every time they think of the pain of losing the land, the little nephew will always feel ashamed of the Ming Dynasty and His ......Majesty."
Shi Yiwen's words are also high-sounding, even if anyone hears these words, it can't be said that he has different aspirations.
"Well, if you can think so, it's not in vain that Your Majesty trusts you so much!"
Nodding slightly, Zhang Juzheng said again.
"Then you must also know that in terms of the current situation, what the Ming Dynasty is worried about is nothing more than the border troubles of Mongolia, as for the Western ......"
Shaking his head, Zhang Juzheng said in a helpless tone.
"At this time, it is impossible for the Ming Dynasty to spare any energy for the West, so it is impossible for the imperial court to send troops to help you recover the old port."
This is the reason why Zhang Juzheng invited Shi Yiwen to come over, not for anything else, because he knew that the hundred officials of the imperial court would never agree to the imperial court's use of troops to the West, and as for agreeing to the recovery of the old port, it was an astronomical night talk. And in order to solve the problem of exile, there must first be a suitable place where those people can be exiled, otherwise everything is just a castle in the air.
Although in Fu Zuozhou's letter, it has been mentioned that overseas is different from the Ming Dynasty, but for Zhang Juzheng, what he needs is not just empty talk, and it is precisely because of this that he will bring up the old matter again, and will specially recruit Shi Yiwen from Nanjing.
"There is no need for a single soldier in the imperial court!"
Shi Yiwen, who met Zhang Juzheng's gaze and knew why the other party asked so, explained.
"Uncle doesn't know anything, Nan ...... The West, in fact, compared to the Ming Dynasty, there should be called the South Seas, which is different from the Ming Dynasty, although there are many small countries, but the land of the small countries is only more than 100 miles, and most of the other regions are barbaric, Western ...... It is Europa Franco, the Netherlands, Spain and other Western countries, they set up cities and ports in various parts of the South Seas, all of which are looking for a suitable place, and then directly build cities and ports, and the local natives are also ignorant of this, even if there is a local chieftain who asks, it is nothing more than a combination of soft and hard, most of them are given a few hundred taels of silver for a long time, and then properly show their strength, so that they can gain a foothold in the local area. ”
Because the people of this era have not yet formed the concept of "Nanyang", Shi Yiwen always has to explain it before he can lead to European countries. Thinking that those foreign monks took Nanyang so easily, he couldn't help but feel a pity in his heart, Huaxia operated in Nanyang earlier, but what is the point? In the end, it was not cheaper for Westerners, and even the reason why the British, Dutch, and Spanish were able to gain a foothold there was still thanks to the help of the Ming people - a large number of Ming immigrants promoted the development of the city, and in the end, what happened to those Ming immigrants?
Thinking of this, Shi Yiwen couldn't help but sigh a little in his heart, and also secretly thought to himself, the same thing must not be repeated in this world!
When his words fell, Zhang Juzheng wondered.
"This, there is still such a thing in the bottom of the world?"
"How can it not be? Just like Macau, the Francois can rent my Ming Macau, not to mention those natives who don't know what their home and country are? ”
It is true that the Nanyang natives of this era did not have the view of a family and a country, and even a hundred years later, many people still did not have a national concept, which was precisely brought to them by the Westerners, and this view was formed in those areas through the spread of Western culture, and this primitive ideology was the fundamental reason why the Westerners were able to open up colonies there without encountering much resistance.
"This ......" Shi Yiwen's explanation made Zhang Juzheng believe a little, after all, Macau was indeed leased to Franc by the Ming Dynasty, even if it was the magistrate's own opinion. But it's still true. But Macao is always Macao, what you need is not Macau, but a place far overseas, which can be obtained without a single soldier of Fei Daming, only in this way can you settle those people and throw those eye-catching guys far away!
"If it were that simple, it would be easy, but ......"
After a moment of silence, Zhang Juzheng looked at Shi Yiwen and asked.
"However, this matter is always empty words, if there is no city built in the local area, I am afraid that the ministers of the court and the central government will never agree to exile tens of thousands of people there......"
