The sound of the Flying Falcon's engine, after two transformations, is much smaller, for Yu Guozhen, he can already fall asleep in such an environment, but for Chongzhen, this sound is still a little louder.

The boat is still a little bumpy, so it is easy to make people faint, like Chongzhen had vomited on the first day, but fortunately, Yu Guozhen immediately found a doctor, and after a pair of decoctions went down, he was much better.

Looking at the waves outside through the cabin window, Chongzhen's expression was a little dazed, he had been thinking for a long time, why he had fallen to this point, but there was no formal reason to convince him of himself.

At this moment, he heard a slight knock on the door outside the cabin, and then Wang Chengen's voice came: "Your Majesty, Nanhai Bo asks to see you." ”

Chongzhen glanced at Empress Zhou, because there were not many single cabins on the ship, Yu Guozhen gave up the captain's room to their husband and wife, and Empress Zhou was with him. Empress Zhou got up and opened the door, Chongzhen had already dressed at this time, and was sitting with a smile on his face.

"Your Majesty, you will be in Yigang soon, and Your Majesty can prepare to land." Yu Guozhen didn't enter the door, but just said in front of the hatch.

"Nanhai Bo just sent someone to say goodbye, why bother to come in person."

"Talk about the friendship of the landlord." Yu Guozhen smiled silently.

There was a wit hidden in the words of the two, Wang Chengen could hear it, he wanted to scold, but when he thought of his own drink, the hidden contradiction was intensified, and he didn't have the guts.

Or is it like this first...... Let's do it!

"There's nothing to clean up, I'll go up to the deck with you to get some air. I don't know if it's possible? ”

"Naturally, you can, but when your majesty grabs the railing when you land, it will shake." Yu Guodao: "Your Majesty can also take a look at Yicheng, compared with the rest of my cities in Huaxia, it is a little different. ”

"Huaxia?"

"That's nature, in addition to the Ming Dynasty, Mobei Mongolia, Nuer Gandusi, South China Sea Islands, Tamna, and Dayuan. It is also the land of China - the land of Chinese civilization radiation, and it is the land where the Chinese people live in peace, and no one can take it away. This is the blessing that the ancestors of the Chinese dynasties used their hands and feet to create for the descendants of future generations, and it has priority over any natural gift. ”

At this time, Chongzhen still couldn't understand the deep meaning of Yu Guozhen's words. But this did not affect him to find allusions in ancient books to discuss with Yu Guozhen: "Nanhai Bo has the ambition of Chen Tang, although those who commit strong men will be punished even if they are far away?" ”

Chen Tang is not a good example, he has been in prison, he has been in prison, he has killed his mother, Chongzhen talked about this, and he also used a rare allusion to test Yu Guozhen. Yu Guozhen smiled: "Chen Tang is looking for a marquis for his own selfishness, although he has contributed to Huaxia, but after all, he is a little smaller. ”

"Oh? What about Nanhai Bo's ambition? ”

"I've already said it, the land of China. The people of China live in peace. ”

Chongzhen pondered Yu Guozhen's words in his heart, he didn't believe it at the moment, deep in his heart, he felt that Yu Guozhen's ambition was to ascend the throne and establish a new dynasty, at least to learn from Emperor Cao Cao of Wei. He did not claim to be the emperor, but left the foundation for his descendants to seek the dynasty and usurp the throne.

Yu Guozhen didn't bother to explain more to him, and accompanied him to the deck, the sea breeze was blowing, although it was still very cold, but now Chongzhen was no longer shivering. He was wearing the overcoat of the Tiger Guard. It was thick and warm, but because he was not used to wearing it, he followed Yu Guozhen, and there was a feeling that the guards were following the main general.

"This is Yicheng?" Looking at the horizon in the distance, Chongzhen asked, "Tamna Island?" ”

"Yes, Tamna was originally a self-established country, the Sui and Tang dynasties began to be attached, the previous dynasty set up a group of pastors here, after the Taizu of this dynasty expelled the Meng Yuan, this place was taken by Korea. Taizu didn't know the importance of the sea, and thought that the small island of Yuer was not worth mentioning, not only did he not return it to Korea, but he waved his hand and promised it to be a country that would not be conquered......"

"Nanhai Bo!"

Chongzhen tilted his head and stared at Yu Guozhen, Yu Guozhen's comments on Taizu made him unhappy.

"Taizu has made great contributions to the world, but it is not without fault, and future generations should not comment on the predecessors, neither superstitious nor superstitious about the sacredness of the predecessors, nor ignore the facts, just to refute the predecessors and exaggerate their faults." Yu Guozhen said with a smile: "The saying that people are not sages and sages can be faultless is actually wrong, that is, sages and sages, and there are also sages, and if you don't recognize this, the world will not be able to progress." ”

"Or what you said the world will advance, and the future will be better than now." Chongzhen Road.

"Your Majesty has also read my article?"

""Storm Collection" is often read, and "People's Livelihood Express" is also perennial, only "People's Livelihood Miscellaneous" is less read, and I don't have time."

This was out of Yu Guozhen's expectations, he didn't expect Chongzhen in the deep palace to read some of his articles in "Storm Collection", but unfortunately, Chongzhen just looked at it, or he had some experience after reading it, but he couldn't show it.

"In the twelfth year of Chongzhen, someone in the imperial court suggested that I stop these publications, saying that they were bewitching the public and confusing people's hearts, and they were refuted by me, not because I gave Nanhai Bo face, but because I also like to read them, if they are banned and can't continue to update, won't I see it?" Chongzhen smiled and turned to Yu Guozhen, he felt that this was the first time since the two met this time, he seemed to have seized the initiative.

"Haha, Your Majesty likes to watch it." Yu Guozhen didn't care about this at all.

There is no need for him to compete with Chongzhen for the short and long of a word, the competition between the two has actually ended after Chongzhen left the capital, and now no matter how much Chongzhen thinks about it, he is only dancing in the circle drawn by Yu Guozhen.

Chongzhen looked at Yicheng again, it was a little far away, so he couldn't see it very clearly, but now Yicheng was extremely close, only a few miles away, and the scale and outline of the entire city were revealed.

What impressed Chongzhen the most was the huge wharf.

The pier, which stretched for three or four miles and was made of cement, looked like a gray clothing belt, which tied Yicheng's waist. The city was large, but Chongzhen noticed that on one side of the city, there were low, dense bungalows, and on the other, there were three- to six-story buildings.

Even if it is a building made of reinforced concrete, because of the style of the Lei family, such a building still has a strong Chinese style, not the kind of dull and featureless square cardboard box.

"Your Majesty saw the contrast between the houses on both sides. Do you think the gap between the rich and the poor is too big? ”

"Haha, it's a bit ......"

"In fact, the gap between the rich and the poor is not in the exterior of the house, but in the interior decoration." Yu Guozhen said with a smile: "The low house on the left hand side is not a formal house, but a quarantine area, and many of the people who came to the island from the land are contaminated with the disease, in order to prevent the spread." They had to live here for a month to familiarize themselves with the climate and regulations before moving to the collective dormitories on the right-hand side. Because it is a temporary residence. Therefore, only the practicality of living is concerned, and the external beauty is not noted. ”

"The people of the island by land?"

"In the ninth year of Chongzhen, he began to receive people from Liaodong. Chongzhen began to receive people from Shandong's east in the eleventh year, and now, it has been almost seven years, and there are about 1.4 million Chinese people, who have traveled south and distributed in the South China Sea today. About 100,000 of them were on the way, either due to soil and water adaptation, or due to storms and lost ......"

Speaking of this, Yu Guozhen was quite emotional, he did everything he could. But in this era, it is absolutely impossible to expect more than a million people to be safely sent to the south without damage. The 10-to-1 loss rate is shocking, and Yu Guozhen is almost certain. In later generations, some people will make a big fuss about this issue, accusing him of ignoring the lives of the people.

But could he have another choice?

Hearing Yu Guozhen's frank admission to the mortality rate in this process, Chongzhen thought of something else, and his expression was sad: "The harsh government is fiercer than the tiger, this is my fault, so the people have to leave their homes." It is not the responsibility of Nanhai Bo. ”

Yu Guozhen glanced at him and smiled without saying a word.

"Why didn't Nanhaibo comment?"

"I'm afraid Your Majesty won't like it."

"I am not the one who does not tolerate dissent!"

"Your Majesty says so, then I'll just say it."

Seeing that he was getting closer and closer to the dock, Chongzhen's heart began to become anxious, and he vaguely felt that if he couldn't talk to Yu Guozhen thoroughly now, it would be very difficult to see Yu Guozhen again. Therefore, hearing Yu Guozhen say this, he nodded: "Out of the mouth of the king, into the ears of me, there is no need to be afraid." ”

"Since Your Majesty ascended the throne, you have issued five edicts, but has Your Majesty ever really thought about what was wrong with you?"

"Employing people, getting non-people."

"How can it be said that it is not human, not to mention others, Lu Xiangsheng and Sun Chuanting, these two commanders are all capable ministers, Lu Xiangsheng is loyal and brave, Sun Chuanting is heroic and witty, and His Majesty has all of them. It's a pity, Your Majesty believes in Yang Sichang and Gao Qiqian, these two people can't be Shu Cai can't be developed, Lu Xiangsheng died of foolishness, Sun Chuanting is nowhere to be found-how can it be said that it is not human, it is really that every time Your Majesty uses a virtuous ability, he will scratch it with five or ten mediocre talents! ”

"Although Your Majesty issued an edict to sin against himself, he did not really think that his fault really lay with him, but just made a show to appease the subjects of the world. Therefore, the more His Majesty has sinned against himself, the more the subjects of the world will not believe it. Because if you only admit your mistakes and don't correct them, do you not admit your mistakes? ”

"I, I......"

No matter how Chongzhen argues, he has to admit that Yu Guozhen said that he has made many mistakes in employing people, especially when Yang Sichang and Gao Qi sneaked out, he can't defend himself.

"This is a mistake in martial arts, to be honest, this is not a big problem, I have many talents in China, but there is no Lu Xiangsheng, Sun Chuanting, and other good generals. But Wen Tao's mistake has a great impact, so big that in the past 16 years, His Majesty has been like fighting a fire with a salary, and the fire will not be extinguished. Has Your Majesty ever thought about why there has been chaos in the past 16 years, Li Zicheng was originally a post soldier, Zhang Xianzhong was originally a border army, they were originally to maintain His Majesty's rule, why did they become giants who disturbed the country? Jianyu, Li Chengliang raised him like a dog, why did he become a man-eating tiger? ”

"This is all a mistake in governing the country, things are easy to change, but Your Majesty can't introspect yourself, can't understand it, just hold on to the imperial power, the more diligent Your Majesty is, the more things will go wrong, and the more the people will suffer, and in the end, they will rise up and overthrow you."

"I love the people like a son!"

"The fault is here, the people are the parents who support Your Majesty and the hundreds of officials in the world, not the sons raised by Your Majesty!" Yu Guozhen sighed and said: "Your Majesty only thinks about letting your children cut down on food and clothing, so as to support these bad years, but I never think about whether they can survive it." If you can hold on, the people will naturally support you, and if you can't hold on, the people will abandon you. ”
