Chapter 196: Drink with you
"Besides..."
Speaking of this, Zhu Zhanji suddenly paused.
Then he said with an unprecedented solemn demeanor: "In a foreign country, there is a kind of treasure that everyone in the world is crazy about, with this treasure, my nephew dares to protect the prosperity of China for five hundred years!" ”
"On the contrary, if this thing is left to a foreign country, within five hundred years, my China will be deceived by foreign countries, the mountains and rivers will be broken, and the lives will be ruined!"
Zhu Zhanji's words were conclusive, as if he had seen such an ending.
And after hearing Zhu Zhanji's words, both Zhu Gaoxu and Zhu Gaosui showed a solemn look.
No matter what these two princes used to be, it is still difficult to accept it when they hear what happened to the people of the Ming Dynasty in the future.
After all, what flows in their blood is the blood of Huaxia and the blood of the old Zhu family.
However, in addition to the indignation, the two of them were even more puzzled in their hearts about what kind of treasure could be so praised by their eldest nephew.
After all, as a person who follows the old man Zhu Di to fight the world, whether it is Zhu Gaochu or Zhu Gaosui, they are very clear.
In this world, it doesn't mean that you can get what you have.
Rather, it has to be fought little by little by the sword in his hand.
But they also knew that their eldest nephew would not talk nonsense.
In this case, I am afraid that the treasure he said is not trivial.
Thinking of this, Zhu Gaosui, the king of Zhao, did not hesitate too much, but just like Zhu Gaoxu, the king of Han just now, he arched his hand to Zhu Zhanji and said: "Your Majesty, the ministers obey the order, what do you want me to do, you say!" ”
Hearing this, Zhu Zhanji also picked up a cup of tea and said to the third uncle: "Then nephew, I will thank the third uncle for the world." ”
Speaking of which, Zhu Zhanji immediately ordered someone to take the world map rewarded by the previous system.
Then he began to explain to his two second and third uncles on this map.
And gave a general introduction to the territory of the Ming Dynasty and the situation of the whole world, and finally, told the biggest secret in his heart.
Middle East!
The place where oil could come out of a random pit.
Petroleum is the most important raw material in the entire industrial age.
Without oil, everything is in vain.
And to have oil is to grasp the lifeblood of the entire industrial age.
Only in this way can the Ming Dynasty flourish for hundreds of years, as Zhu Zhanji just said.
Even if the Ming Dynasty is gone, the dynasty that will succeed China in the future will continue to stand on top of the world.
With Zhu Zhanji's continuous explanation, Zhu Gaoxu, the king of Han, and Zhu Gaosui, the king of Zhao, on the side, were also obsessed with listening.
For those messy knowledge, as the King of Han and the King of Zhao, they naturally don't have much interest in doing it, after all, in their opinion, these are small skills.
It's what the courtiers are going to do.
And characters like them, as long as they have a good grasp of the world.
But when I heard Zhu Zhanji talk about how there are so many states in this world, so many countries they have never heard of, and so many beautiful women and treasures.
These two princes who were born in the army were suddenly excited.
Of course, for the situation outside the Ming Dynasty, as the prince of the Ming Dynasty, they must know something more or less.
After all, Zheng He's trip to the West was not for nothing.
But what Zheng He knows can not be compared with Zhu Zhanji, who experienced the era of the information explosion in later generations.
No matter how big or small, in heaven and on earth, Zhu Zhanji can say something.
In this way, this is a skylight for the two of them to understand.
A window with a view of the stars.
And once they have seen the stars in the sky, they are now the two who enjoy the blessings of the world, in their eyes and hearts, where can they let go of that trivial matter.
All I have in my mind is the sea of stars.
At this time, Zhu Zhanji also said his ultimate goal, according to the straight line he drew when he explained to those courtiers and officials, he drew on the map again and said: "From here, I will go all the way to the west of the land of Annam, and you can go directly to the place where the treasure is hidden. ”
"As long as we can open the trade routes of foreign nations along the way, we will be able to transport treasures back from there in a steady stream."
Hearing Zhu Zhanji's fluttering words, as well as that random stroke, although Zhu Gaoxu, the king of Han, and Zhu Gaosui, the king of Zhao, were thinking about the so-called treasures in their hearts, they sighed even more in their hearts about the sight and momentum of their eldest nephew Zhu Zhanji.
You know, with such a casual stroke, he rowed several countries along the way.
According to Zhu Zhanji's own introduction just now, along the way, there are several powerful states.
Even if the national strength is not as good as that of the Ming Dynasty, it is above the territory of the other party after all.
Fighting there and fighting in the territory of the Ming Dynasty are completely different.
It's not like fighting in Mobei, where their transportation lines can still keep up.
But when I got there, there were several states in between, how to transport this material.
The entire logistics line will be surrounded by the enemy.
Even if you say that you will defeat all the countries along the way, you can't wipe out everyone on the other side, right?
Let's not talk about morality, even if you want to, it is absolutely impossible to do it.
How many troops will be used to find out, and how many people will be needed to investigate.
Just thinking about it makes my scalp tingle.
But as long as people don't die, then there will definitely be no peace on the way.
However, they also knew that what they could think of, Zhu Zhanji would definitely be able to think of.
Although they are all highly decorated generals, not to mention anything else, just what Zhu Zhanji did in Mobei at the beginning is enough to be on an equal footing with them.
Since this is the case, they naturally won't really look down on this big nephew.
I can think of the difficulties in the middle, but I am still so casual and confident....
This is not hubris.
Suddenly, Zhu Gaoxu, the king of Han, and Zhu Gaosui, the king of Zhao, were both shocked by Zhu Zhanji's ambition.
The mood is also quite surging.
After all, if everything is really done according to what Zhu Zhanji said, then what they are doing now is really groundbreaking for the first time.
Its merits are by no means inferior to the unification of the world by Qin Shi Huang.
At this time, Zhu Zhanji suddenly smiled and raised the teacup in his hand, and asked the two uncles in front of him, "Two uncles, are you willing to complete this plan with your nephew?" ”
Hearing this, Zhu Gaoxu, the king of Han, and Zhu Gaosui, the king of Zhao, glanced at each other, and although they didn't say anything, they all bent down and picked up the teacup on the tea table and drank with Zhu Zhanji.
A moment later.
Zhu Zhanji stood at the gate of the Qianqing Palace with a smile, looking at the second uncle Zhu Gaoxu and the third uncle Zhu Gaosui who were gradually leaving.
It wasn't until they disappeared from sight that Zhu Zhanji let out a long sigh.
Tired.
It's so tiring.
Although Kang was passionate and enthusiastic when he said those words, it was not the first time that he Zhu Zhanji had said such words.
Even if he speaks the truth in his heart, the heart he reveals is also true.
But there is no way.
This is the sorrow of being an emperor.
Even if you speak the truth, you speak from the heart.
But if I say too much, I feel fake.
It's as if it's deliberately fooling people.
But it doesn't work if you don't say it.
Standing at the door of the Qianqing Palace, Zhu Zhanji rubbed his forehead, and then looked at the huge palace from a distance.
He muttered in his mouth: "Old man, you said that you would leave, what is the hurry, and take my father away, aren't you bent on tossing me?" ”
After saying that, he felt ridiculous, shook his head helplessly, turned around and walked into the Qianqing Palace behind him.
After Zhu Zhanji turned around and entered the palace, Zhao Quan, who was still standing behind Zhu Zhanji in front of the palace just now, looked at the new emperor and sighed a little in his heart.
As the emperor's personal eunuch, Zhao Quan served two monarchs.
He is also the person who knows these two monarchs best in the world today.
Just seeing the appearance of this little emperor, for some reason Zhao Quan suddenly recalled the scene of the old emperor earlier more than ten years ago.
At that time, the emperor often seemed to sigh and sentimental.
At that time, he was not as shrewd as he is now.
He was still very puzzled, as an emperor, where did he get so much sorrow.
After all, the world is each other's, what do you want and can't get it?
It's not an exaggeration to say that you can do it with your heart.
What is there to sigh about living like this?
The country, the beauty, the power, the wealth, what you want, and what is worthy of the emperor's sentimentality.
But after accompanying the old emperor for decades, and now serving by the new monarch's side, there are some things that he Zhao Quan also understands.
After all, although he Zhao Quan is just a eunuch, he is a eunuch by the emperor's side after all.
The energy he has mastered is not comparable to that of ordinary people.
But he is the same, after so many years of life, he understands that there are some things that even the emperor is not satisfied with.
The world, this is the world.....
Zhao Quan also sighed, turned around and hurriedly entered the palace again, and came to the door of Zhu Zhanji's inner hall to wait.
And at the gate of the main hall of the Qianqing Palace, the actions of the emperor and Zhao Quan and Zhao Gonggong were also like fate, leaving deep doubts in the hearts of the little eunuchs at the door.
Spring goes and autumn comes.
It seems that it is just a blink of an eye, and the palace that was originally full of spring is now a cool autumn scene.
The withered yellow leaves float with the autumn wind.
Dangling in the air, it floated down.
Left behind a withered yellow color all over the ground.
At this time, Zhu Zhanji was still standing at the gate of the palace of the Qianqing Palace, and on his shoulders, he had already put on a fine robe because of the autumn coolness.
In the past few months, Zhu Zhanji's feet seemed to be tied to the floor tiles of the palace, and he never left a single step.
If it was when the old man was there, I was afraid that the old man would be the first to pop out and wonder if this kid's head was caught like his second uncle.
Such a thing would have been absolutely impossible to see in Zhu Zhanji earlier.
But now, even Zhu Zhanji himself seems to be used to this kind of life.
Every day when you open your eyes, you are in this palace, and when you close your eyes, you are still in this palace.
Most of the people around me are also familiar with that look.
Compared with familiarity and habit, Zhu Zhanji prefers to use numbness to describe his current situation.
Of course, Zhu Zhanji's persistence in the past few months has not been without rewards.
The navy that was originally ordered by Yang Shiqi has now begun to take shape, and the sea ships built by the Ministry of Engineering have also come and gone like dumplings in the surrounding waters of the entire Ming Dynasty.
Countless amounts of gold and silver are constantly being transported back from the land of Dongying to the territory of the Ming Dynasty.
In just a few months, the tax revenue of the entire coastal port wharf of the Ming Dynasty has reached seventy percent of the annual fiscal revenue of the Ming Dynasty!
Seventy percent!
This alone added seventy percent of the Ming Dynasty's finances.
Although this was the meat that the imperial court deliberately released from its mouth, and even most of it was eaten by those who had a fleet of sea ships, this was one of Zhu Zhanji's plans.
So it's not a pity.
On the contrary, such a number is enough to show that the trading volume of private sea ships in the Ming Dynasty is constantly rising, and it can even be described as crazy growth.
After all, compared to this number, it is the income of tens of millions of people in the entire Ming Dynasty.
Although so far, such a plan has not brought any positive impetus to the Ming Dynasty, and it seems that it has only made those who have sea ships eat a mouthful.
But even at this moment, it is not really that it is not of any help to the Ming Dynasty.
Nowadays, the number of civilian sea ships in the Ming Dynasty has increased, although they are mostly civilian and commercial, but because of the number of too many, and the formation of the Ming Dynasty navy is increasing.
The Japanese who once caused a lot of trouble to the Ming Dynasty completely disappeared in such a situation.
In fact, these Japanese were not originally the regular army of Dongying, most of them were Dongying people who couldn't survive and begged for their lives outside.
The reason why these people can cause a lot of trouble to the Ming Dynasty.
One of the most important is that they are at sea.
In addition, the Ming Dynasty has a long coastline and insufficient monitoring capabilities, so it is difficult to completely clear these people.
As for the people along the coast, because there are no sea boats, they can't cause any damage to these people at all.
But now it's different.
Not to mention that they were unlucky, they were encountered by the navy of the Ming Dynasty, or they met some Ming Dynasty fleets with a large number of people, and their results would not be much better.
Those people's sea ships were still too small compared to the ships of the Ming Dynasty.
The Ming Dynasty itself was full of martial virtues, coupled with the edict issued by the imperial court.
A sea widow can get a hundred taels of rewards from the imperial court.
In this way, where can those widows survive?
Now let alone attacking the frontier of the Ming Dynasty, it is too late to escape.
If you run slowly, the head on your neck will be cut off for silver.
In addition to the navigation industry on the southeast coast, which is growing and growing according to Zhu Zhanji's plan, the technology, scale, quantity, and output of shipyards in its territory...
They are also constantly improving.
At the same time, the imperial court had enough gold and silver to pay for it.
The development of the southern Annam region is also proceeding at a rapid pace.
In particular, the munitions-related industry is growing rapidly.
