"Wei Xiaobao!?" Cai Zhishan was first surprised, how could the emperor know about Wei Xiaobao, and then explained, "Yes, yes, Wei Xiaobao, this kid lives in my mansion." ”

Gao Junshan has received a report from Li Derong that Wei Xiaobao was brought to the capital by Cai Zhishan from Yangzhou, and he asked Cai Zhishan bluntly: "You brought this child from Yangzhou, right?" ”

"Yes, yes. He is Yuan Chonghuan's nephew. ”

"He's Yuan Chonghuan's nephew?" This time, it was Gao Junshan's turn to be surprised.

Cai Zhishan said: "Two years ago, when I went to Shanghai, I went to Yangzhou once, and Yuan Chonghuan once mentioned to me that his little nephew was in Yangzhou, so I had the opportunity to go and see it. ”

Gao Junshan remembered that Cai Zhishan was Yuan Chonghuan's old department, and it was reasonable for him to take Wei Xiaobao in.

"So you brought him to the capital?"

Cai Zhishan said: "Yes. In the capital, he can read and take the right path. In this way, I am not in vain Yuan Chonghuan's trust to me. ”

Gao Junshan said: "This child is very clever, if he is trained well, he will become a great tool." ”

"How could Your Majesty know about Wei Xiaobao?"

Gao Junshan said: "Wei Xiaobao and Eighth Sister are classmates, Yesterday Eighth Sister brought him to see me, and I saw that he was flexible and round, so I specifically asked about his life experience, and only then did I know that you brought him into the capital." ”

Cai Zhishan sighed and said: "Thanks to Your Majesty's care, Wei Xiaobao is indeed a little smart, but he is a young child, but he has learned the oily tone of the people in the market, and he is addicted to gambling, I also have a headache for him, and I don't know how to discipline him." ”

Gao Junshan comforted: "Bolan doesn't need to be like this, I see that Wei Xiaobao still has his strengths, as long as you discipline him strictly, he will become a useful talent in the future, and I am still confident in this." ”

"After I go back, I will definitely educate him strictly, especially his bad habit of gambling, and I must let him get rid of it."

Gao Junshan said: "Wei Xiaobao's gambling problem is related to the environment in which he grew up, and the current environment. ”

Cai Zhishan was a little puzzled: "Your Majesty also knows his family background?" ”

People who have read Jin Yong, who doesn't know Wei Xiaobao? It's just that in reality, Wei Xiaobao does have someone, but Gao Junshan didn't expect it.

Gao Junshan said perfunctorily: "I inferred from his words and deeds. Regarding the general environment of gambling, I have decided to launch a campaign to crack down on gambling in Huaxia, what do you think? ”

Cai Zhishan said: "This is great, it is necessary, I fully agree with His Majesty's decision." ”

Gao Junshan said: "Let Liu Fangliang do this matter!" ”

Cai Zhishan suggested: "The crackdown on gambling should be carried out from the ideological level, and I propose that Tang Liangyi cooperate with Liu Fangliang to carry out this sport." ”

"I agree that the two of them will carry out the crackdown, and the intensity of the crackdown will be greatly strengthened, and I suggest that we should oppose the trend of gambling and make unremitting efforts in the future, which is a major matter related to the spiritual quality of our Chinese nation." Gao Junshan said this, picked up a piece of chicken leg and put it in Cai Zhishan's rice bowl, "Don't patronize and talk, eat a lot of vegetables, eat a lot of vegetables." ”

"Eat, eat, eat." Cai Zhishan said while eating chicken, "Your Majesty, don't patronize the vegetables for me, you should also eat more." ”

Speaking straightforwardly and avoiding the clichés of officialdom is what Gao Junshan has advocated in recent years, and now several close ministers under Gao Junshan have begun to use the word "I" in front of him, which is under Gao Junshan's advocacy, and some results have been obtained.

Cai Zhishan is the president of the Military and Political Yuan, and the topic between the two of them must be inseparable from the military.

After eating, the two had an in-depth exchange on the current military situation with the outside world.

Gao Junshan put forward his military vision in front of Cai Zhishan, and he believed that it was necessary and long-term to establish a solid alliance with Britain, so the garrison of Huaxia in India must be friendly with Britain, and the co-administration of India with Britain would be maintained for a considerable time, perhaps a century, maybe two centuries.

It is necessary to control the coastal cities of India, as well as the areas bordering China and its vassals, and these areas must have the presence of Chinese garrisons. To be precise, the northern and western parts of India must be under the control of our Chinese people, and there must be garrisons in our Chinese countries, and the Tenth Army Corps must be stationed in these two areas.

Other regions can be conjoined with the UK.

Cai Zhishan reported to Gao Junshan on the recent situation of the naval battle between Britain and Spain. Cai Zhishan said: "Britain has officially started a war against Spain, and one of their fleets, secretly infiltrated the islands of the western Indian Ocean, and successfully occupied Jamaica, a Spanish dependency. ”

Gao Junshan said: "Britain, the Netherlands, Spain, Portugal and other countries are constantly expanding outward and seizing colonies. What are we going to do? Our first step is to firmly control the South Seas and drive out the Westerners who are operating in the South Seas. Therefore, our armistice with the Netherlands is temporary, especially since the Dutch are still entrenched in Batavia, and we will not allow it, and it is only a matter of time before we continue to go to war with the Netherlands. ”

Cai Zhishan asked: "Your Majesty, we have achieved great results in the war, and the expansion of our territory is unprecedented and unprecedented, why do we still want to seize those lands and islands that have nothing to do with us?" Those places are places that we will never go to in our lifetime, so why should we go with Westerners? ”

Gao Junshan said: "We want to ensure that the Chinese country is stable and stronger for a long time, the people can live a better life, not poor, not starving, only rely on domestic raw materials to produce products for the people's consumption, is not satisfied, if we can import raw materials at a low price, process finished products in our China, and then sell them to foreigners at a high price, our Chinese people can live better, and the raw material production area also has its own development momentum, the use of military conquest, the establishment of colonies to ensure that there are low prices for raw materials and high prices for the sale of products, You can live a better life yourself. ”

Cai Zhishan seemed to understand the truth, and he nodded frequently.

Gao Junshan continued: "If we want to develop outward, the most fundamental thing is profit, and in the process of controlling a region, we can not only get the land and the production on the land, but also get a lot of cheap labor and overseas trade markets. We can also control the economic lifeline of the vassal state and the imperial court tax through the export of capital, and obtain huge profits for our Huaxia. ”

Cai Zhishan said: "It turns out that there is such an esoteric truth in it! ”

Gao Junshan said solemnly: "What I said belongs to the theory of the superstructure field, you just need to have an understanding, you don't have to study it deeply, let alone spread it." ”

Cai Zhishan could hear the seriousness of this, and he hurriedly knelt down and bowed: "The ministers obey the order!" ”
