Zhu Di's attention to this globe far exceeds Zhu Zhanji's imagination.

He not only sent a team of 200 eunuchs to strictly guard Xingqing Palace at all times, but also listed the main building of Xingqing Palace as a forbidden area.

Except for a few people, no one else could climb to the second floor of Xingqing Palace.

Moreover, in the afternoon of the same day, the internal supervisor, the Jinyi Guard, including the three groups of the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies, went to Ningbo respectively.

It's not that Zhu Di doesn't believe Jin Kuo, but the main thing is to prevent Jin Kuo from being lax and leaking secrets.

However, Zhu Zhanji and Jin Kuo had already considered this situation and gathered all the soldiers who had come into contact with this group of ghosts.

Because they don't understand the language, they don't really know where they're from.

After being imprisoned in the city, except for the leading ghost, the rest of the people were directly imprisoned. And the leading ghost guy was locked up alone by Jin Kuo for two months and then killed, and most of the things on the ship they suffered from the storm were also collected by the city shipping department, and some were deliberately burned.

The rest of the nautical supplies, daily necessities, these will not reveal many secrets.

As for which ones were put away by Jin Kuo and which ones were stuffed by Zhu Zhanji, only Jin Kuo knew.

Therefore, even though these investigations are full of suspicions, there is no evidence that Jin Kuo lied.

When the people sent by Zhu Di found gold and silver mines from the Philippines and Japan, at that time, they naturally no longer doubted the origin of these things.

Zhu Di is busy, Zhu Zhanji is not idle, he has to give out these gifts from Ningbo one by one. Then the accounts must be checked, and Yu Xian will be arranged to go to Ningbo to take over Jin Kuo's position.

Yu Xian's work is far less stable than Jin Kuo, and Zhu Zhanji naturally will not hand over all his resources to him alone.

After soliciting Jin Kuo's opinion, he left Jin Kuo's two right-hand men in the City Shipping Division, one was responsible for the commercial operations from the south to the north, and the other was responsible for liaising with the major families, while Yu Xian was only responsible for the work of the Municipal Shipping Division.

Jin Kuo is also very busy, unprepared, he has to take over the work of the seal and ribbon prison, and all aspects of the favor must be in place, he will not be idle this New Year.

That night, Zhu Zhanji accompanied Zhu Di, Zhu Gaochi entertained the nobles of the capital, and came to Xingqing Palace together in the evening.

Three generations of grandparents and grandchildren look at the colorful globe in the bright candlelight. The first time Zhu Gaochi saw this, he was even worse than Zhu Di at noon, and he couldn't believe what he saw with his eyes.

However, Zheng He also drew a lot of nautical charts when he went to the West, at least on the terrain of Southeast Asia, and this globe has been verified.

It is not difficult to confirm the authenticity of the map, especially since the largest anthracite coal mine in Asia in later generations is located on the seaside, and it is now the territory of the Jiaozhi Governor, so it is easy to know the authenticity.

Zhu Di only needs to make a decree to let the local garrison find out.

But now that the Chinese New Year is approaching, I'm ready to deal with these things after the New Year.

Father and son sat next to the globe, looking at the globe while immersed in a daydream of conquering the world according to the "Magellan's Voyage Diary".

Seeing them like this, Zhu Zhanji was satisfied.

He thinks that he is not smarter than the ancients, and since the Xia, Shang and Zhou eras, the Central Plains has given birth to a long-standing civilization that makes people's blood boil.

The ideas of the hundred schools of thought of the sons of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period still influenced the world thousands of years later.

The advantage of future generations over their predecessors is that they have more historical experience and world knowledge. But when it comes to IQ and EQ, there is no advantage.

There are many things that you can do better than the ancients, because in terms of historical fit, they have the advantage of perfect integration than Zhu Zhanji.

The lower ones work hard, the middle ones work wisely, and the upper ones work hard.

With Zhu Zhanji's current status, he doesn't need to play any conspiracy at all, nor does he need to be clever.

In such a stable social environment, there are two elders above, one is the emperor who is the heart of all the people, and the other is the crown prince who is respected by middle-class Confucianism.

He doesn't have to bother with running at all, he just needs to allocate resources reasonably.

With the emperor and the crown prince to help him fight the front, it can be said that there is no easier reform than this.

And, looking at the way they look, they are definitely willing to do all this.

Japan's Iwami Silver Mountain where the warlords are fighting, Zhu Di may still have some concerns, but the gold mines in the Philippines and the coal mines in Vietnam, Zhu Di will definitely not let go.

The more he looked at this globe, the more pity Zhu Di felt. "In just four years, this Magellan can circle the world and draw such a precise map, this person is a great talent. This method of drawing, including the method of mine exploration, has unfortunately not been handed down......"

Zhu Zhanji was afraid that Zhu Di would feel pity, and he would be annoyed with Jin Kuo who killed "Magellan". In this era, if you are annoyed by an emperor, then Jin Kuoke should be careful.

"Grandpa Huang, this matter is not a pity. Those who are not of my race will have different hearts. If it is really because of his great talent, he is reluctant to kill him, and divulging such secrets will not do my Ming any benefit. ”

"Isn't it a country in this world that has no competition with my Ming Dynasty? What am I afraid of? ”

"Grandpa Huang, a Northern Yuan will make it difficult for me to separate the Ming Dynasty. For my Daming, Beiyuan is the biggest trouble. If this disease is not eliminated, it will be difficult for me to have the energy to take care of him. ”

Zhu Di nodded and said, "In Ji'er's opinion, how should this matter begin?" ”

Zhu Zhanji looked at Zhu Gaochi, who was excited, and said: "Grandpa Huang is just a year of knowing his fate, and he has been fighting with Beiyuan all his life, and there is no one who is more familiar with Beiyuan than Grandpa Huang." His father was only a young man, and he was deeply respected by Confucianism and the court. And my grandson is also curious about the world outside the Ming Dynasty, and is willing to be a pioneer to open up territory for my Ming Dynasty. In the humble opinion of our grandchildren, we should attack our shortcomings with our own strengths, and our grandfather and grandson have their own positions and seek their own strengths. ”

Zhu Di perked up, nodded and said, "If you have any ideas, come them one by one." ”

"The three tribes of Warat, Tatar, and Uliangha are my Ming henchmen. However, the three ethnic groups now take the grassland and the northern desert as the moat, and it has always been difficult to completely eradicate them. Even if he was canonized by my Ming Dynasty, he was only superficially obedient, all of which came from my Ming Dynasty and did not really affect the internal affairs of the three clans. ”

Zhu Di looked at Zhu Zhanji and said, "What is Ji'er's plan?" ”

Zhu Zhanji pondered for a moment and took out the strategy of ruling the grassland during the Qing Dynasty. "Grasslands are difficult to govern because they live from pasture to pasture and people are on the move. Sun Er believes that there are three main points to change our passive situation, one is the alliance flag system, which restricts people of different nationalities in Mongolia and Yuan to one place and cannot move. Second, the reduction of the Ding system, in the grassland, to attract the aristocracy to encroach on resources, to promote Buddhism, let the low-level herdsmen become monks. Third, the Confucian civilization system, in the future, if any Confucian elements violate the law, they will be distributed to the grassland and let them go to the grassland for education. ”

Before he could speak, Zhu Gaochi hurriedly said: "This matter must not be done." Confucius wrote "Spring and Autumn" and said: Yi Di into China, then China, China into Yi Di, then Yi Di, Ji'er this move is to move my Ming foundation. ”

Zhu Zhanji smiled: "There are some things that don't need to be said, we just need to do it." ”

It is simply impossible to think that those scholars and doctors will go to the grassland to educate. They can enjoy privileges in the country, so why bother to go to the desert to eat sand.

Zhu Di was also greatly moved, but he didn't say anything, but said: "I will let Shangshu Province and the ministers analyze this move, at least the first two, I think it's very good." ”

Zhu Zhanji also came to his senses, and explained in detail the policy towards the grassland during the Qing Dynasty, but Zhu Zhanji ignored the point of harmony.

The Ming Dynasty was a bastard in the end, but it was also the only country in Chinese history that did not make peace, did not pay compensation, did not cede land, and did not pay tribute.

Although they have made many wrong choices, the spirit of the Son of Heaven guarding the country and the death of the king is an indelible halo in modern Chinese history.

Of course, Zhu Zhanji will not let himself become a stain, he will only do better.

In the end, Zhu Zhanji said to Zhu Di and Zhu Gaochi: "The emperor's grandfather focused on the grassland, and my father assisted the emperor's grandfather in stabilizing the government and collecting grain and grass for the army. And my grandson is determined to go overseas and expand the territory for my Ming Dynasty and fill the treasury. ”

Zhu Di shook his head and said: "The risk overseas is very large, and the son of Ji'er's daughter can't sit down, so there is no need to take this risk." ”

Zhu Zhanji knelt down on one knee and said: "My grandson is willing to make a military order, and it only takes three years to solve the problem of the Ming Dynasty, and after three years, my grandson will contribute at least five million silver to the Ming Dynasty every year." ”

Although the Ming Dynasty is thriving today, the tax of a huge country is only 20 million taels a year, and this figure was only reached during the Zhu Di period.

Zhu Zhanji promised five million taels a year, which is a quarter of the national tax for a year, and even Zhu Di couldn't believe it.

"Nonsense. National events are not something that a child like you can speculate at will. Five million taels, is it true that overseas is a mountain of gold and silver? ”

Zhu Zhanji relied on Zhu Di to like him, and he was not afraid at all, so he responded: "Sun Er just tossed around in Ningbo at will, twice a year in the South Seas, twice in the North to trade, and the annual profit is more than one million taels, if the emperor's grandfather authorizes Sun Er, with the power of the country, don't say five million taels, it is ten million taels, and Sun Er is also confident." ”

Zhu Di paused for a moment, looked at Zhu Zhanji, and then looked at Zhu Gaochi, and the book couldn't believe his ears. "You make a profit of more than one million taels a year?"

"Yes!"

"Then I took a million taels from you, and it's just your profit for a year?"

"Yes!"

"Then you've been working for more than four years, and you still have three million taels in your hand?"

"Two million taels of silver, one million taels of fixed assets, and more than 200,000 taels of gold."

Zhu Di gasped, then slapped his legs and laughed. "I only know that you have made a profit of more than one million taels in four years, and I think that you have been hollowed out, and you still have such a rich family asset. I was miserable for the Northern Expedition, but I never thought that there was a Deng Tong by my side. ”

Zhu Zhanji said without hesitation: "My grandson is willing to take out all the living funds to support the emperor's northern expedition." ”

"Okay, good, with Sun like this, I can't help but be happy!"
