"Daddy, I don't pay attention to my brother anymore."

Mingyue said as she spoke, her little face rubbed straight towards Qin Mu, and the oil on her little face rubbed all on the dragon robe of Emperor Great Qin, and the palace maid waiting in the palace snickered, she really used her own way to govern others.

Qin Mu hugged his baby daughter and smiled: "Mingyue, what's wrong?" Did my brother bully you? ”

"Daddy, my brother went to Yangzhou to play, but he refused to take me, I ignored him, hum! Ignore him again"

"Hahaha"

"Daddy will take me there?"

"Okay, next time Daddy goes out, I'll take you there, let's go to Xiangshan to enjoy the red leaves, and go to the grassland to ride a horse."

When Mingyue heard this, she smiled, got out of his arms, stretched out the white and tender little finger of her right hand and said eagerly: "Pull the hook, Daddy, let's pull the hook"

"Pull the hook, pull the hook!"

Qin Mu really hooked up with her, and Yang Zhi said: "Mingyue has to be good, Daddy is working hard for state affairs, and he hasn't had time to have lunch yet, Mingyue is coming here, let your father finish lunch first." ”

"Good!" This girl was very well-behaved, and immediately jumped off from under Qin Mu's leg and ran to Yang Zhi's side.

Yang Zhi put her arms around her, and couldn't help but think of her son. Qin Ye, as the crown prince, together with Qin Qiubai, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, took more than 300 new scholars to Jiangyin and Yangzhou to worship, which was a very grand event, but it was not like Mingyue said to play.

This time, Qin Mu took the initiative to let his eldest son go, and Yang Zhi was very pleased with this, this matter was extraordinary, and it was of great use to consolidate Qin Ye's position as the crown prince.

But because this move is of great significance, Qin Ye is still young, Yang Zhi can't help but worry that he will make a mistake, which will be counterproductive.

Anyway, since her son left Beijing, she has been a little uneasy.

Qin Mu said while eating: "Don't worry, lady. Although Ye'er is young, the lady teaches well, and there will be no mistakes. It's just a step back, even if there is a mistake, it's better than always protecting him under his wings, as the crown prince, he has to take responsibility. ”

"The concubine knows, it's just"

"If the jade is not cut, the lady will not be just, come. Accompany your husband for a drink. ”

"Daddy, I'll accompany you, I'll drink too, I'll drink too"

"You? Okay, let's have a drink with Daddy, hahaha."

"Husband, you! Mingyue, don't mess around, you're still young, you can't drink. Yang Zhi saw Mingyue and went to serve the wine glass. I was in a hurry, and hurriedly grabbed it.

Xiao Mingyue didn't dare to make trouble, but she looked at Qin Mu with a pitiful face, and Qin Mu gave her a look. Laughing, the little girl slipped over and climbed into his lap with great familiarity.

Qin Mu handed the wine glass to her mouth and said with a smile: "Good daughter." Slow down, try a little dip, don't gulp"

"Husband! How can you be a father like this? ”

"Hahaha, it's okay. It's okay, let her taste it, and when she is older in the future, it will be a good thing to have two drinks with me, who is a father."

"Yikes!" Mingyue took a shallow taste, and immediately spit out her little tongue, and her beautiful facial features squeezed into one place, "It's so bitter daddy, I don't want to drink it, don't drink it"

"Hahaha"

Qin Mu was so happy that Yang Zhi was so anxious that he personally brought soup to feed Mingyue, and after feeding two mouthfuls, seeing Mingyue's embarrassment in drinking the soup, Yang Zhi couldn't help but laugh.

After lunch, Qin Mu returned to the Pujia Palace, and saw a piece of music that had just been sent in, which was jointly signed by Ke Chenshu, the deputy admiral of the ocean-going fleet, and Du Yanshi, from the Cape of Good Hope in Africa, through Ceylon, across the Bay of Bengal, and then sent back by telegram after arriving in Wang Bencheng.

Seeing this report, Qin Mu, the great Qin emperor, couldn't help but feel like he was in a dream, attacked Paris, captured the French king, the queen mother, and the prime minister, and forced France to cede Marseille and the Blue Bank region. He also persuaded Spain to recognize Portugal and unite with the forces of the Habsburgs to flank the Ottomans

"Did I send a mission?"

Qin Mu looked weird, holding the piece and looking left and right, it looked like he was watching the latest strange thing.

Li Xiangjun, who was making tea, couldn't help but grin: "Your Majesty, there is also a Portuguese princess Caterina." ”

"Hey~ Xiangjun, why do I think the vinegar smell of Pujiadian is so strong?"

"How dare a slave, but she's a princess."

"Hahaha"

Qin Mu was happy, and he joked with Li Xiangjun, and immediately summoned the governors and cabinet ministers to discuss the matter.

What the mission to Europe sent back was a great gift that everyone expected, and Di Zhongxing, Liu Meng and others couldn't help but celebrate when they heard it.

Li Yuan, the cabinet minister, was a little worried: "Your Majesty, if there are garrisons in Port Safi in northern Africa, Port Aveiro in Portugal and Port Marseille in the Mediterranean, at least 2,000 soldiers and horses and ten warships. This is a long way, the cost must be not small, it is necessary"

Qin Mu waved his hand to interrupt him and said, "Whether it is necessary or not depends on how you view the interests of overseas." The Netherlands and Portugal are just small countries, they can come to the doorstep of my Great Qin to seize a large number of colonies, and a big country like my Great Qin can't even operate a few seaports? ”

Huang Zhenlin, the left attendant of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, thought for a while and said, "Your Majesty, the colonization methods of the Western people are indeed a little different from the current strategies of my Great Qin. In fact, most of the countries such as the Netherlands, the United Kingdom, and Portugal were front-runners with trading companies, such as the Dutch East India Company.

In other words, the colonization process of Western countries does not require much investment from the state, and our Daqin is now mainly using the navy as the front station.

Under the circumstance that the important strongholds on the voyage to Europe have been seized by European countries, our Daqin used the navy to build the front station, which is conducive to quickly controlling the shipping lanes and grabbing the strongholds along the way.

However, compared with Western countries, it is also true that my Great Qin has spent more energy in the process of expansion. In the early days of expansion, because there was a large amount of booty to make up for military expenditures, the imperial court not only did not feel struggling, but also had a steady stream of income.

However, in the future, the initial investment will always be greater than the profit, if we do not change the current model and adopt the Western method of operating by companies, our Daqin's overseas income and expenditure in the future will be out of balance. Many strategic locations are likely to spend more than they gain.

Therefore, the minister thought that our DPRK might as well attract the experience of some Western countries and grant some trading companies the corresponding qualifications to operate these strategic bases. ”

In fact, Huang Zhenlin said that Qin Mu had already considered and gave some arms to several overseas trading companies such as the Ocean Trading Company, but he did not explicitly grant these trading companies overseas colonial privileges like the Dutch East India Company.

Qin Mu knew very well that there would definitely be many ministers who would oppose this.

China has always been a land power country, and everyone's thinking is relatively conservative.

Moreover, once these trading companies have the privilege of overseas colonization, the shareholders of the companies will receive great benefits.

The shareholders of the Dutch East India Company were mainly composed of Dutch nobles and parliamentary officials. The company's income also goes into the pockets of these people, and of course they will support the company's overseas colonization.

Daqin's trading companies were mainly composed of merchants, and when the companies made profits, the Korean and Chinese officials could not share the benefits, and they would agree to give the merchants the privileges of overseas colonization?

If the DPRK and Chinese officials are allowed to participate in the shares, and there are so many officials, should everyone participate in the shares?

At present, it is really not advisable to do this.

Then, Huang Zhenlin's proposal can only take some compromise methods. Leave some of the less important bases to trading companies. Daqin's navy could control some of the most important strategic positions as much as possible.

As for the ports in Europe, it is not enough to rely on trading companies alone, at least for the time being, it is very necessary to garrison troops.

After thinking about it, Qin Mu first vetoed Huang Zhenlin's opinion, and then said: "Looking at the whole world, Europe will be the main trading object of my Great Qin, and at present, in several ports in Europe, it is not only necessary to garrison troops, but also in order to further affect the situation in Europe, so that the merchants of Great Qin can quickly enter the European market, and at the same time, with the implementation of the Central Asian strategy, the number of garrisons cannot be too small."

At present, Ke Chenshu has sent a treasure ship, six flying scissor warships, and 500 marines to Europe. I thought that four more flying scissor warships and 500 marines should be sent to protect Great Qin's interests in Europe. When necessary, cooperate with the fleets of Spain, Portugal and other countries to directly threaten the Ottoman capital of Istanbul"
