Chapter 40: Guiding the Country
Zhu Gaochi's face showed a look of appreciation, and he was very satisfied with the keenness of the other party's awakening. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Zhu Zhanji said with some embarrassment: "Last time I met the second uncle at the palace gate, I had a conflict over the relocation of the capital, and finally I was punished by the emperor's grandfather for copying books, and I was also involved in ......."
Peat! Fang Xing is a little confused, doesn't Zhu Gaoxi support moving the capital? How dare he oppose the opinion of his son Zhu Di?
"I think the sooner you move the capital, the better, but the second uncle ......"
The things in this don't dare to ask, that's the way to get trouble.
This was the first time he had met the prince, and it was quite cordial, Fang Xing felt that he should do something.
After racking his brains, Fang Xing looked around and said, "Your Highness, why don't you show the enemy weakness and drive the tiger to devour the wolf?" ”
"What's the explanation?"
Zhu Gaochi's eyes lit up, since he became the crown prince, he was almost held back by his two younger brothers, and he was almost abolished several times.
Fang Xing said in a low voice: "Isn't King Zhao coveting that position?" ”
Zhu Gaosui, the king of Zhao, has a more brutal personality than Zhu Gaoxu, the king of Han, and is rampant. It's just that this guy is very smart, every time he frames the prince, he lets Zhu Gaoxu take the lead, and he is like an innocent bystander.
Fang Xing said with a smile: "Your Highness, as the saying goes, a dog that bites people doesn't bark!" ”
These words were very vulgar, and Zhu Gaochi smiled bitterly, but he immediately understood the meaning of Fang Xing's words.
For the big position, Zhao Wang Zhu Gaosui is afraid that he is the most enthusiastic one, but this product is relatively yin. If you flirt a few times between him and King Han, I'm afraid that there will be a dog-eat-dog comedy scene.
Zhu Gaochi's fat face trembled a few times, and he felt that he was too much to describe his two younger brothers by dog-eat-dog.
"Mr. Fang is really knowledgeable."
Zhu Gaochi praised lightly, and then the topic turned to the government.
Fang Xing was not stunned, he knew what Zhu Gaochi meant, this was testing his own catties, if Fang Xing was just a boastful person, then he would definitely be far away from Zhu Zhanji in the future, and if he didn't do it, he would be placed under residential surveillance.
In order not to be under house arrest, Fang Xing had to listen attentively.
“…… Zheng He will go to sea again next year, and it will cost a lot! ”
Zheng He went to the West, this is an allusion that Fang Xing has heard since he was a child, so when Zhu Gaochi's gaze turned intentionally or unintentionally, he said: "Your Highness, the students think that Zheng He's move is actually very beneficial, but he just chose the wrong direction." ”
"Oh! Tell me about it. ”
Zhu Gaochi was a little interested, and wanted to hear if Fang Xing was really talented.
But Fang Xing had already made up his mind, and as soon as he opened his mouth, he was startled.
"Zheng He's fleet is currently mainly Xuanwei, and by the way, he exchanges some special products with coastal countries, but compared with the cost, of course, it is a loss."
Fang Xing used this loss word, and Zhu Gaochi still recognized it. Because every time Zheng He goes to sea, it is the day when Hubu Shangshu wants to hang himself.
Fang Xing continued: "But there is endless wealth here, if I don't take it, at most a hundred years, the Europa people will come here with strong ships and cannons, and from then on, my Ming will be insulated from the sea!" ”
So serious?
Besides, insulating from the ocean is not a big deal!
Zhu Gaochi and his son felt a little funny when they saw the anger on Fang Xing's face.
Fang Xing was not angry, he took out a piece of paper from the corner of the study, spread it on the desk, and then pointed his finger and said: "Your Highness, please see, this is Temasek, one of the supply points of Zheng He's fleet, but do you know?" Take control of this place, and from now on this ocean is my Ming! ”
Zhu Gaochi rubbed his forehead and felt a little dizzy.
"Controlling this ocean, will it benefit me to be Ming?"
At this time, it is not the year of 'Zhongzheng Yingying', so it is normal to speak for profit.
Zhu Zhanji also looked at the map carefully, but the more he looked at it, the more frightened he became.
"Brother Dehua, where did this map come from?"
You know, the father and son sitting here have seen the map of the Ming Dynasty many times, but they have never seen such a detailed map.
Fang Xing snorted and said, "I have a few friends who operate overseas, and they draw atlases everywhere they go, thinking they are family heirlooms. ”
Whether the father and son believe it or not, Fang Xing himself already believed it, he pointed to the map and said: "To the right of my Ming are Cochin and Siam, and the rice here can prevent the people of my Ming Dynasty from starvation, and the amount of tin ore is huge. On the left, Luzon, Johor ......"
Fang Xing pointed to this place and couldn't help but feel a hundred times more energetic, at this time, these countries that were still under the majesty of the Ming Dynasty were all the great enemies of the Chinese, including the current Temasek.
"Here, spices are wealth, and there are many kinds of raw materials that can be supplied to my Daming, once controlled by the Europa, my Daming is in danger!"
Zhu Gaochi looked at this map that was not as detailed as words, and while listening to Fang Xing's explanation, he gradually frowned and said, "But I'm looking across the sea, how can I get these resources?" ”
Fang Xing became energetic when he heard this, "Control!" I only need to control the sea, and then I can use my people to control the wealth of these countries through immigration, and finally feed back to the mainland. ”
Zhu Zhanji also asked: "Brother Dehua, but it takes a lot of people to develop these things, and how many ships do you have to build!" ”
Fang Xing shook his head and said, "No, just take your time." ”
"Take your time?"
This person doesn't know about the government, take your time, wait for you to take your time, the court and the central government have already changed their minds.
Fang Xing said casually: "The control I am talking about is to first use my Ming army to deter me, then drive the local natives to farm and mine, and finally use the interests to drive the people of the Ming Dynasty to emigrate." Ten years at most, I can control this huge place. ”
"But it's so brutal!"
Zhu Gaochi, this historical benevolent monarch is really opposed.
Fang Xing was angry, he remembered those so-called benevolence, so he said angrily: "Between countries, between nations, between nations, where does benevolence come from? If there were, how could those aliens rush into the Central Plains and use butcher knives to kill the heads of our Han people! ”
This is a guy who regards aliens as grass mustards, and Zhu Gaochi and his son immediately came to a conclusion to Fang Xing.
“…… You treat them with the so-called benevolence, but if you have the opportunity, you see what they will do to treat me Daming! ”
Fang Xing almost scolded the rotten Confucian, but fortunately he closed it quickly, otherwise he would really not be able to be good today.
The people outside trembled when they heard this, and felt that Fang Xing was really dying.
“… In the Tang Dynasty, he was considerate and considerate of foreigners, but what happened later? As soon as An Lushan raised the flag and shouted, those foreigners immediately entered the Central Plains. ”
“… What about the Song Dynasty? I always feel that aliens can do it with money, so there are coins every year, but in the end? Even the emperor was captured! ”
