The first wind and rain drifted away

"There are things we don't know, but that doesn't mean they don't exist!

All of you Aiqing are my humerus, shouldering the heavy responsibility of Zhongxing Daming, you must understand more and think more, but also accept more new affairs, and never imprison your own thoughts.

It's okay to read a dead book, but it's not okay to read a dead book. Otherwise, it will become a rotten country. ”

Emperor Chongzhen turned the globe, and there was something deep in his eyes.

The Taoist friends were moved!

They have heard that humans live on a sphere, but most of them think it is nonsense. Even if I saw the globe with my own eyes, I still couldn't believe it.

But as the Son of Heaven said, not knowing does not mean that it does not exist, the accumulation of more than two hundred years of royal royalty has too many hidden secrets.

What's more, they believe that Emperor Chongzhen will not talk about it, and there is no need for that!

"Your Majesty, is this our Daming? How can there be a country larger than ours? ”

Cao Wenzhao pointed to the location of Africa and the Americas, and asked with big eyes and surprise.

Nowadays, the great power is not just a joke, it has long been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

During the Wanli period, there was a missionary Matteo Ricci who paid tribute to the map of all countries, so that the Ming Dynasty had a deep understanding of the situation in Europa, that is, Europe.

Europe is originally small, but there are hundreds of countries, and the place with a big booger is also called a country, which is not as big as a county in Daming.

There is also Nanyang, the little brother of the Ming Dynasty, and there are dozens of turtle tribes distributed on the long and narrow terrain, which is called the country.

As for Ah San's place, not to mention, it is not as good as the little brother of Nanyang.

Ah San had no concept of a state, only the caste nobility and tribal chiefs maintained the system, waiting for the alien races to unify them.

Historically, there has not been a unified dynasty for the Asan people, and the last one was completed by the British.

Therefore, every Ming person in this era is undoubtedly proud in his heart, and his self-confidence is bursting, and he cannot see any other country greater than the Ming Dynasty.

Cao Wenzhao asked this, undoubtedly out of this mentality.

"There is no country here, only tribes and savages, it is the homeland of Kunlunnu, and there are countless treasures.

Gold, copper, silver...... By the way, the gold mine here is the largest and most abundant in the world.

At the beginning, the Three Treasures eunuch sailed here, recorded the distribution map of some mineral deposits, and stored them in the Inner Palace, in order to one day, if the Ming court needs it, it can be taken! ”

The baton was lit in Africa, and Emperor Chongzhen introduced the situation here to Daoyou.

It's just that some of the processed content is all drawn to Zheng He's head.

In later generations, because of the Internet, it seems that the distance between the top and the people has been artificially narrowed, but there are still many secrets that the people can not know.

Not to mention that now, this is an era of high concentration of imperial power.

"There are also a lot of minerals here, including the scarce copper ore in Daming, all of which are exposed and very easy to mine.

At the same time, there are large plains, countless fertile fields, and wild people here grow potatoes, sweet potatoes, and corn, and can harvest endless grain without intensive cultivation.

This can solve the problem of food famine in Daming. ”

The baton pointed to the Americas, and Emperor Chongzhen talked eloquently.

"It's hard to quench your thirst from afar!"

Sun Chengzong's old face wrinkled, staring at the globe that represented the ocean in blue, and said in a deep voice.

He was thoughtful and calm, and when he saw that everyone was breathing quickly and their blood was boiling when Emperor Chongzhen said, he poured a basin of cold water on his head.

The Ming Dynasty is far from the wild land mentioned by the emperor, and it is not an exaggeration to describe it as 108,000 miles.

Now the Ming Dynasty is full of holes and is struggling, how can he have the ability and energy to take care of the outer regions?

The emperor is so ambitious!

"Sun Ge is an old fallacy!"

Emperor Chongzhen turned to face Sun Chengzong, looked at the silk hair on his head, and said firmly:

"Those who do not seek eternity are not enough to seek a time; Those who do not seek the overall situation are not enough to seek a domain!

These places are admittedly thousands of miles away from Daming, and they seem to have nothing to do with Daming in the short term, and they can't solve the current dilemma.

But we must aim high, set long-term goals, and seek for our children and grandchildren!

At the same time, isn't it a long-term solution to my Ming crisis? ”

Emperor Chongzhen looked at the somewhat dazed fellow Daoists and sighed in his heart.

It is undeniable that these Taoist friends are definitely the most elite class in the Ming Dynasty, in addition to loyalty, there is no shortage of means and abilities.

is that after all, it is limited by the pattern of vision, coupled with the poison of emasculated Confucianism, and the ambition of the Han and Tang dynasties has long been lost!

As a result, they do not know how to transfer the contradictions, and they need to inculcate some new ideas to transform their pedantic thinking.

Of course, the idea of being true to oneself cannot be changed, but must be vigorously strengthened.

"Who can answer Aiqing, why did Da Ming fall into such a predicament today?"

Emperor Chongzhen took a deep breath and asked Daoyou.

"The parties are chaotic, the people bully the king, the generals are incompetent, and the mediocre ministers mislead the country!

In addition, the nobles monopolized the national interests, the wealthy annexed land, and the officials and businessmen were greedy to avoid taxes.

As a result, the people could not support their families by paying heavy taxes, and they could not make ends meet at all levels, and finally they were exposed in all directions, vainly trying to change the dynasty. ”

Sun Chuanting has always been upright and outspoken.

In the days of seclusion, I studied these all day long, so I did my homework a lot, and when I saw Emperor Chongzhen asking, I immediately saluted and replied.

Ma Zai Wen Tiren's eyes closed slightly, and he glanced at Sun Chuanting's Taoist friends, he was really stunned, and he dared to say it in front of the Son of Heaven when he changed the dynasty, it was amazing!

Don't you dare!

"That makes sense!"

Emperor Chongzhen bowed his head in agreement to Sun Daoyou, and then continued to ask:

"Then I would like to ask you Aiqing, since the fall of China, the country has a long country, often for thousands of years, and there are eight hundred in Zhou.

Why has it been getting worse since then, and the dynasties have enjoyed the country for only ten generations, and the supreme has only been for two or three hundred years?

Since Emperor Taizu Gao, I have been in the Ming Dynasty for more than 200 years!

For example, if it is raging today, there are Jiannu outside and traitors inside, and the court nobles, military generals, and civil ministers are as Sun Aiqing said, so unbearable.

Will the Ming Dynasty fall into the cycle of history again and change the dynasty again? ”

As soon as Emperor Chongzhen's words came out, the hall was suddenly silent, and the Taoist friends looked at each other, and no one dared to jump out to answer.

Even Sun Chuanting, who was regarded as stunned by Wen Tiren, lowered his head and remained silent!

This question is a bit big, how to answer it?

Can't answer!

Say no, at present, the storm is really crumbling, and if you open your eyes and talk nonsense, the emperor will definitely be angry, or have a bad impression of you.

If you say yes, you can ask who dares to say it?

None of them are fools, and they all understand the dangers.

So, silence is the best thing to do.

Emperor Chongzhen looked around at the Taoist friends who had become shrunken turtles, smiled smugly in his heart, shook the baton in his hand and said: "Since you Aiqing dare not say it, then I will say it!" ”
