The economic seminar has not yet ended, but the opinions put forward at the beginning have been implemented by His Majesty in such a short time.

This shocked many officials.

But what shocked them even more was that Zhu Youzhen ordered the Ministry of Industry, the General Administration of Industry, and the General Administration of Ordnance in the Ming Dynasty to jointly start developing civilian steam engines and civilian production machinery.

The industries involved will not only be traditional agriculture, but also the booming metallurgical industry, textile industry and so on.

.....

Annan was finally recovered by the Ming Dynasty, why use the word recovery?

Because the land owned by Annan was nominally owned by the Ming Dynasty as early as the Jiajing period, it was the territory of the Ming Dynasty without any dispute.

Zhu Youzhen didn't have the slightest psychological burden to take it into his pocket, but at this time, it was very unfortunate that the Sect Dao from the Ministry of Rites asked to see him outside the Dongnuan Pavilion.

"Nope! Missing! Let me stay in the Ministry of Rites..."

Very rare... Zhu Youzhen played with a child-like temper, mainly because of this period of time. Since Annan's excerpt came to Jingshi.

When Lai Zongdao heard that the family of the Quang Nam King Ruan family had been captured by the Great Tomorrow Tiger Army, it could be described as a flying eyebrow... It's like a life-saving straw!

Where is the original pair...

An indignant expression at Annan's rebellion.

People are always fickle.

The ministers of the court, the same.

"The Emperor... The old slave thinks that you still have to meet this master of the sect... After all, as a secretary of the Ministry of Rites, it's not appropriate to always kneel outside after all..."

Wang Chengen, who had already brought a little embarrassment to his face, waited aside, but he didn't dare to say anything excessive, and now anyone can see it...

His Majesty has regarded Annan as the next development direction of the Ming Dynasty.

But at this juncture, the captured Guangnan Wang's father and son became the main point of the Ministry of Rites' Shangshu to make a big fuss about the sect.

Every day, he and his fellow officials trumpet... It is necessary to return the territory of Annam to the Nguyen clan, the king of Quang Nam.

This not only made many officials' attitude towards them change from the original mildness to a cold piece of iron.

It made Zhu Youzhen very annoyed, and at the same time, he was extremely unwilling to see the current secretary of the Ministry of Rites.

"Nope! Didn't he forget when he came to Zongdao! When those Annamite people did not follow the indoctrination, what did he say to me! He said that only by sending a large army, only by completely pacifying Annan, can we change the land and return to the stream, so that the people of Annan can once again respect our great tomorrow! ”

"Now Annan has beaten ... He came to the sect and said that the ancestral system did not dare to disobey? Tell me that this Annan has always been a subject country and territory of the Ming Dynasty? It should continue to be returned to the king of Quang Nam. Continue to send Han officials to educate! ”

"Did the head of the sect be kicked by a donkey?"

An angry voice came out from the Dongnuan Pavilion, and Zhu Youzhen didn't care at all whether the Lai Zongdao who was kneeling at the door could hear it.

If you can hear... I'm afraid it's better for Zhu Youzhen, how much he hopes that this old man who is still the secretary of the Ministry of Rites can give himself a little less trouble.

Don't cling to those ethereal things all day long!

"The Emperor..."

"Alright, alright! Call that old guy from Zongdao to come in! I want to see if he remembers what he said to me! ”

As soon as the words fell, Lai Zongdao at the door seemed to realize that the opportunity he was waiting for had finally arrived, and he stood up and swept the dust on his court clothes with his hand slightly.

Walking into the Dongnuan Pavilion, Zhu Youzhen, who was staring at him with round eyes as soon as he entered the door, looked like he was furious.

"Come to Zongdao! You tell me if you still want to do it.... What a rich and wonderful place to be in Annam... You let me return it to the King of Quang Nam? Return to the Nguyen family? ”

"What the hell do you think?"

Oh, yes... What do you think about Lai Zongdao?

This is a question that many people are puzzled about, after all, no matter how you look at the current situation...

The role of the Ruan father and son in the Ming Dynasty can be said to be almost minimal, and the difficulty of educating the people in the south-central and northern parts of Annam is not at the same level at all.

Many Ming Dynasty officials who went to Annam once wrote back to the folds, saying that the people of Annam... Very respectful of the Ming education.

And that's not all.... There are already many people who feel honored to be the people of the Ming Dynasty, in such a situation.

Even Zhu Youzhen couldn't figure out what role the Ruan father and son, the so-called king of Quang Nam, could make Zhu Youzhen control the entire Annan... Annan, who had been defeated with great difficulty, was once again handed away.

Lai Zongdao lowered his body, and knelt outside the Dongnuan Pavilion for a long time.

His legs and feet were a little numb, and after waiting for a while, I heard him speak.

"Back to Your Majesty... What the minister said before is indeed what the minister thinks, Annan does not respect the Ming education, and the Tusi plot rebellion, but according to the minister's view...

It's just because the king of Quang Nam is weak, if the imperial court is willing to re-establish the king of Quang Nam to the Ruan family, support the establishment of Annam and establish it as a subject state of the Ming Dynasty, the minister feels that the Ming Dynasty will once again be famous throughout the South Seas..."

I came to Zongdao to grind and chirp and said a lot.

But just when he heard Lai Zongdao boasting that he was going to give Annan to the Nguyen clan of Guangnan Wang, Zhu Youzhen really couldn't listen to it...

As if ignoring the image of the emperor, I saw him spit and said.

"Come to Zongdao... You are also an old minister in the court, I really didn't expect you to be able to say such brainless words to me.

I can't figure it out... The so-called etiquette can go beyond the interests of the emperor, and beyond the interests of the Ming court! It can make you ignore the interests of the Ming people who are silently contributing behind this war! ”

"Come to Zongdao!!"

"You're old! I'm confused! ”

Zhu Youzhen's words made Lai Zongdao's eyes become cloudy from the beginning of the look.

I saw him hunched over, and it took a long time before he spoke: "Your Majesty... I'm afraid I'm really old. Can Xu Chen return to his hometown and retire for the rest of his life..."

"Alas! Aiqing... Although you are not doing well in Mongolia and Annam, I know... Without you, the backbone of the Ministry of Rites will be scattered, so why don't you stay with me for a while..."

This sentence seems to be Zhu Youzhen's retention, but in fact, it is just a process that follows the convention...

I also understand when I come to the sect.

So, after seeing a tear silently fall from his eyes, he spoke again: "Your Majesty... The minister has the heart to do his best for His Majesty, but he is really old..."
