"No courtesy." Zhu Zhen forgot that it was the emperor in front of him for a while, as if he had returned to when Zhu Biao was still alive, and he also joked casually. But then he reacted and hurriedly said, "Official, I was rude." ”

"It's okay," Yun Xi smiled, "It's just a joke, it's nothing to make a few random jokes between uncle and nephew, and nephew won't mind." ”

Zhu Zhen muttered a few words, suddenly thought of something, and said: "Official, there is still one matter that has not been resolved." ”

"What?"

"How to make the people of the Central Plains willing to go to the Han Continent?" Zhu Zhen frowned slightly: "If you want to educate the savages, whether they are descendants of Yin Shang or not, there must be many people. However, the Hanzhou Continent is 20,000 miles away from the Central Plains, much farther than the Northeast, the Western Regions, and the South Seas, and the people of the Central Plains may not be willing to go to the Hanzhou Continent. If you don't even have people, how can you educate them? ”

Zhu Zhen is not naïve, thinking that he himself has a warm heart, and a few Confucians who are familiar with Confucian classics can educate those people.

"My nephew Shicai has already talked to Youstew, let him write a book with gold mountains and silver seas in the Hanzhou Continent, and distribute it all over the country after writing, so that the troupe can perform." Yun Xi said.

"This," Zhu Zhen, like Zhu Youstew, quickly understood what Yun Xi meant, and was also surprised that he made such a decision. But he thought about it, but said: "Official, even so, those people will not stay in the local area when they have mined gold and silver, but will return to Daming with gold and silver, and in the end, the gold and silver in the Hanzhou Continent will be lightened, but there will still not be many people left in the local area." ”

"Moreover, so many people who are willing to risk falling into the sea and drowning to go to the Hanzhou mainland to mine gold gather in one place, and there must be chaos among themselves in order to compete for gold and silver, which is not the blessing of the country."

"Sixth uncle, it's a bit biased for you to think like this." Yun Xi said: "How can the gold and silver of the Han Continent be so easily illuminated? Many gold and silver mines are in the hands of the locals, and it is impossible to mine gold and silver without defeating them. ”

"And so many people go to the Hanzhou Continent to mine gold and silver, how to solve the problem of food, clothing, housing and transportation? Slowly, there will be smart people who make money by providing gold miners with food, drink, use, and clothing at high prices. But you can't make a lot of money in Daming by doing this. They can only stay over there. There are also those who braved the dream of getting rich overnight to go to the Han Continent but ended up with nothing, and they also had to stay in the local area, so that there would be many more people in Han Zhou. ”

"As for order. Sixth Uncle, in order to be able to occupy the entire Han Continent as soon as possible, he can only sacrifice order slightly. The vassal kings who were sealed to the Han continent could only build cities to ensure order near the city, and other places could only turn a blind eye. Yun Xi made a somewhat dilemma at this time.

"The nephew will not only let many people who want to get rich overnight go to the Hanzhou Continent, but after the New Year, while the whole country is still relatively cold, the nephew will let the soldiers from all over the country suppress the bandits, eliminate most of the bandits, and leave a part of them and exile them to the Hanzhou Continent. Those who committed crimes and were arrested, and those who were guilty enough to be exiled were also exiled to the Han continent. ”

"This." Zhu Zhen lowered his head and pondered. Yun Xi took the opportunity to lower his head, took out a pen and paper from his waist and wrote a few words, and then raised his head again, and smiled at Yun Xi who was sitting on his left and thinking about something: "Second brother, what are you thinking?" ”

"If the natives of the Hanzhou continent are really descendants of Yin Shang, they are descendants of Huaxia Miao. Since they are of Chinese Miao descent, it is true that as the official family said, people should be sent to re-educate them and let them return to Chinese orthodoxy. ”

"Especially those who have been taken under the command of Uncle Twelve. They were probably originally all descendants of Chinese Miao, but when they arrived in Hanzhou, they were driven out of the clan because there were not many people who could be supported by the local water and soil, and later became savages, which is really pitiful. Now that I, the Ming Dynasty, have discovered them, there must not still be these people of Chinese Miao descent who fish and hunt for a living. Yun Wei kept talking.

Yun Xi wanted to laugh a little when he heard Yun Wei's words, but he still held back, straightened his clothes and said, "My brother can have such a thought, and my brother is very pleased." ”

"Our Chinese civilization is the most advanced civilization in the world, and it should be spread to the outside world to educate barbarians and people whose civilization is not advanced."

However, most of the great Confucians in the world are not interested in this, and they are only willing to bury themselves in the pile of old papers and study, rather than to educate the barbarians. Don't you know that the more scholars who study Confucianism, the more Confucianism can be greatly developed? ”

"Therefore, my brother has always encouraged Confucians to educate the barbarians, but many people regard this as a misguided path, which is really sad for my brother."

"Since my brother is willing to educate the barbarians, I have ordered the establishment of a Department of Enlightenment under the Lifan Academy, and to gather the Confucian people of the world who are willing to educate all the people in this department to study how to educate the barbarians, and to educate the barbarians in person. The elder brother was temporarily promoted to this division and temporarily replaced Langzhong. ”

"Huh?" Yun Wei snorted in surprise. He originally thought that Yun Xi had said so much that he would let him go to the Han Continent to educate the barbarians. Although he himself was a little reluctant to live a superior life in Hangzhou, he was worried that he would not be able to adapt to the Hanzhou mainland, and he was not too willing to stay away from his wife and children, but firstly, he really wanted Confucianism to be widely disseminated, and secondly, he also understood that his identity was relatively special, and unlike ordinary princes, it was difficult to dominate the party like Yunxi, and it was only possible to be very far away from the Han continent in the Ming Dynasty, so in order to get the opportunity to govern a place according to his own ideas, he could only go to the Han continent.

But he never thought that he was ready to go to the Hanzhou Continent, but Yun Xi let him stay in the capital to take charge of the Education Division.

"Official, I am very willing to go to the Hanzhou Continent to educate the barbarians, and I should leave it to someone else to take charge of the Department of Education. There are so many Confucians in the Ming Dynasty, there must be someone who can be in charge of this division. ”

Yun Wei took the initiative to ask for help. Originally, his desire to educate the savages was not strong, and he was still worried in his heart about how to arrange his wife and children after he established the capital; But Yunxi didn't let him go, but instead aroused his strong desire to go to the Han Continent.

"Second brother, although there are many Confucians in the Ming Dynasty, you are the prince, and you are in charge of this division in person to show the importance that the court attaches to this division. So second brother, you are the most suitable. Yun Xi looked a little moved, but after thinking about it, he refused.

After that, Yun Xi persuaded a few more words, but Yun Xi insisted on not listening. He was about to persuade again, but at this time, the program of the 'Spring Festival Gala' had ended, and Yun Xi got up and left, and he could only stop. But he looked at Yun Xi's back and whispered, "I will definitely go to the Han Continent to educate the barbarians." Tomorrow, Yunxi will meet with the envoys of Fanguo, and he will hold a banquet with his ministers in the evening, but he will not enter the palace. The day after tomorrow, I will enter the palace to see him every day, and I will definitely persuade him to agree to my going to Hanzhou. ’

While talking to himself, he thought of Yun Xi being having fun with his children and hearing his helpless expression when he entered the palace, and couldn't help but laugh secretly.

He didn't know that all his performances, although Yun Xi didn't see it, were expected.

Why did Yunxi suddenly mention Hanzhou today, and said that the local savages were descendants of Yin Shang? It is entirely for the purpose of developing the Han Continent as quickly as possible.

The Han continent is the last undeveloped fertile land in the world, and whoever occupies this place will belong to whom the future belongs. But Europe is much closer to the Han continent than the Ming Dynasty is to the Han continent, as long as they continue to explore south along the African coastline, as long as there is a ship that gets lost and is lucky not to be wiped out by the waves, the Han continent can be discovered. Then countless fanatics who were persecuted for their beliefs, escaped punishment for their crimes, and wanted to get rich and go crazy would flock to the Han continent, from south to north.

In particular, the distance from Brazil to Europe is about the same as the distance from the United States to Europe, and there are ocean currents in Europe to Brazil; At the same time, Brazil is indeed the farthest place from the Ming Dynasty, and it will develop step by step, even if it will not develop Brazil in two or three hundred years, and finally Brazil will be occupied by Europeans. Not only Brazil, but the entire South is likely to be overtaken by the Europeans.

Yun Xi is very greedy, and wants to turn the entire Han continent into a place for Han people, and he must not tolerate this kind of thing happening. Therefore, he had to use the fastest speed to make the Han people spread all over the Han continent. For this goal, he can only use all the methods he can think of.

And all he can think of is a real example in history. Historically, California was greatly developed by the gold rush, and he encouraged gold panning; Historically, Australia was filled with exiles, so he flowed bandits through; Historically, when a priest went to the New World to preach, he sent Confucian scholars who were willing to educate the barbarians.

He hesitated for a long time in his heart about which vassal kings he chose to go to the New World, and finally chose Zhu Zhen, the king of Chu, and Zhu Yunwen, the king of Wu. Zhu Zhen and Zhu Bai have always been good friends, he has led troops to fight many times and is good at conquest, and he is more interested in Taoism than Buddhism, and his performance after coming to the capital is enough to prove that he is interested in the Hanzhou continent, so he chose him.

And choosing Zhu Yunwen is even simpler. Zhu Yunwen's identity is special, and if he stays around, he always has to bother to monitor, so it is better to throw it to the Hanzhou Continent. And he is also willing to educate the barbarians.

But because of his special status, if he casually seals Zhu Yunwen like he did to Zhu Zhen, it will definitely cause everyone to discuss and affect his reputation. For the sake of his reputation, he had to let Zhu Yunwen take the initiative to ask, and he had to refuse a few times, and finally pretended to have to agree.

After a few days, Yun Wei came to me and asked me to go to the Han continent, refused him three more times, and agreed to him on the fourth time. Yun Xi thought.

'Historically, the first people in Europe to go to the north of the New World were hooligans, bandits, and Puritans, and I didn't expect me to take this path. Yun Xi laughed self-deprecatingly: "It seems that the development of things has its own internal laws, and the only people who are willing to develop the New World on a large scale are these few people who can't survive on the old road." ’

"The bandits who are captured alive are the same as the criminals of Europe and the bandits and criminals of Europe, and those who dream of getting rich overnight and go to the New World are equivalent to hooligans, Confucians, and Puritans. No, historically, the Puritans were persecuted and had to go to the New World, but the Confucians were not persecuted and cannot be equated with the Puritans. The equivalent of the Puritans is ......"

Yun Xi thought as he walked to his main seat. At this time, all the children of the clan had already stood up and planned to go back; The people who performed just now have already left, and many eunuchs are dismantling the stage.

Yun Xi clapped his hands to turn everyone's attention to him, and then said, "Uncles, brothers, you must have heard that I ordered all the officials who will attend the banquet tomorrow to learn a musical instrument and play it during the banquet, and those who can't play the instrument will dance in front of the banquet. ”

"Since I have such requirements for all officials, the royal family naturally has to lead by example. So after half an hour, my uncle or brother who could play an instrument would come to me and play the instrument, and the rest would dance below. ”

"Not only on this side, but over there, I have also instructed the queen to let her lead everyone to play music and dance."

"Ahh Everyone immediately cried out in surprise. Although many people also thought about whether they would ask them to do this after hearing the news that Yun Xi ordered the hundred officials to play music and dance during the banquet, he did not mention this matter to them afterwards, so he relaxed his heart, thinking that Yun Xi would not ask them like this, who knew that he actually carried out a surprise attack during the Chinese New Year's Eve banquet!

Completely ignoring the opposition below, Yun Xi continued, "Since I brought up this matter, I will lead by example, first playing a song, and then dancing with the brothers. ”

"Yun Xu, you are not yet fifteen years old this year, this time I will not let you dance, take all the brothers and nephews under the age of fifteen to sit aside and watch your uncle and brother play music and dance." He said to Yun Xuan again. Yun Xuan nodded hurriedly, and then beckoned the children beside him to retreat to the side.

After that, Yunxi sat down by himself and took a harp from Wang Xi's hand. The musicians also hurried over, bowed to him, and sat down in front of him.

Yun Hee plucked the harp twice. He started practicing his instrument when the idea came to him, and after a few months, although his level was still not high, he was finally able to play two complete pieces.

Seeing that Yun Xi had already put on this posture, everyone knew that it was inevitable, and those who knew how to play musical instruments, such as Zhu Youstew, also hurriedly came over and asked Wang Xi for the instrument he was good at, and then sat next to Yun Xi and prepared to play; Standing in the middle of the audience who didn't know how to play a musical instrument, although he secretly regretted that he shouldn't have returned to Beijing this year, he could only prepare to dance.

"Boom!" As the sound of the erhu sounded, the musicians began to play, and Yun Xi and others hurriedly followed. The crowd in the field had to twist up.

Yun Xi looked to the side again. There was a room with a dark window, and two painters who were very good at painting were hiding in it, painting for the people present. On the side of the female guest, there is also such a dark room and two painters.

Yun Xi couldn't help but laugh out loud as he played the harp while looking at the people who were dancing in the middle of the field. He thought of the picture that was about to be drawn, and said to himself, "Even if the painter's standard is not high, this painting will be very expensive in the future." After all, people at that time would have thought that this was the starting point of the Ming Renaissance. ’
