For a long time in the past, the Central Plains people's understanding of the world was bounded by mountains and rivers.

This period of time can be measured in 10,000 years.

It also represents the Central Plains people's understanding of the world.

The people of the Central Plains first developed from the Yellow River Valley, and then developed a glorious era in the entire Central Plains. Then the people of the Central Plains discovered that this world is actually bigger.

Thereupon.

And then the war broke out.

With rounds of wars, dynasties were established and overthrown, and dynasties alternated over and over again.

Finally.

The people of the Central Plains believe that they have occupied the whole world.

Because to the east of the Central Plains is an endless sea, in the south is a jungle miasma and an unattainable plateau that can devour the army, and in the west there is yellow sand everywhere, and the nomadic feud in the north is eternal.

As a result, the people of the Central Plains felt that they had occupied the whole world, and outside the Central Plains, they were all barbarian lands, which were not worth mentioning, and it was not worth sacrificing the lives of the Central Plains people to fight.

Such a state has existed in the hearts of the Central Plains people for a long time.

It was not until the beginning of the Tang Dynasty hundreds of years ago that it gradually changed in the hearts of the Central Plains people.

The people of the Central Plains began to know the outside world, and they had more possibilities.

It's just that because of various reasons, the people of the Central Plains gave up continuing to develop abroad.

In fact, for a long time, the Central Plains people's understanding of the world has always been at the forefront of all human groups.

Because of internal reasons and external difficulties, the rulers of the Central Plains Dynasty chose to forget their understanding of the outside world.

It's different anymore.

The Ming Dynasty has a strength far beyond any previous dynasty, a more unified determination, and the ambition of any era.

Even the cabinet ministers gathered in the Wenyuan Pavilion at this moment did not know.

They are about to fill in the last blank space of the world.

But they understood what the young imperial grandson was saying in what could be called a speech at the center of imperial power.

Da Ming has begun to announce to everyone.

This world will belong entirely to the Ming Dynasty.

All borderless lands belong to the territory of the Ming Dynasty. The culture of all the lands that have been inhabited by human beings will inevitably lag behind the culture of the Central Plains, and the people of the Central Plains should go forward to educate them with the royal road.

As for replacing other cultures with the Central Plains culture.

Such trivial matters are nothing compared to making the people of this world move towards a more civilized world.

Although Ren Hengtai doesn't like the country's reckless military force, what has happened in the past few years, and several large-scale military operations launched by the state, have all loudly explained to the people of the world that the country's foreign wars will bring great benefits to the country.

And such benefits will also be spread to the people in every country through the imperial court policy.

So in the face of Zhu Yunxi's announcement at this moment, Ren Hengtai, the first auxiliary minister, chose to remain silent.

Perhaps he should pay more attention to the ideological education of the people of the empire in the future.

At a time when the country is embarking on a path unprecedented in history, Ren Hengtai deeply believes that he should change the political goal of the rest of his life to improve the overall quality of the people.

He glanced at Xie Jin silently.

Now that the imperial grandson has already made his mind clear at this time.

Then the cabinet must give a response today, whether it is for or against, or it will be discussed later, there must be an explanation.

Xie Jin hasn't spoken yet.

Xu Yungong, who was beside him, had already coughed lightly.

"Under the whole world, it is not the king's land; On the shore of the land, it is not the king's minister. ”

"What the ancient sages have said a long time ago, we have been chanting for thousands of years, and we should do things according to the will of the sages."

After saying these two sentences, Xu Yungong leaned back on the chair, took the teacup on the side with one hand, lifted the tea lid with the other hand, and blew a puff of tea with a pleasant expression, and then drank the tea in his hand casually.

Xie Jin, who was robbed of words, frowned twice.

This is what a sage said, I have never heard of it.

This is just the work of an anonymous person in the Book of Songs, and its original meaning is not literal.

The damned Metropolitan Governor's Mansion has done everything it can to keep using troops abroad!

Xie Jin secretly scolded Xu Yungong and the military behind him in his heart.

However, Xie Jin's face could only remain calm, and even echoed and said: "What Wei Guogong said is reasonable, my Majesty the Emperor is in heaven, and he should benefit all people." Our dynasty governs the country with benevolence and filial piety, and has always treated everyone equally. The people of all directions and all races can bathe in the prosperity of His Majesty the Emperor of our dynasty. ”

After finishing speaking, Xie Jin immediately sat down, lowered his head and said no more.

Gao Yangzhi, who was sitting next to him, clearly saw that the side of his husband's face had turned red.

It's hard to say.

If it weren't for the country, how could Xie Jin say it.

Zhai Shan, the last official to enter the cabinet, saw that everyone stopped talking.

Only then did he raise his head and look at the imperial grandson above.

Zhai Shan coughed lightly, attracting everyone's attention.

A smile appeared on his face: "The sage has a cloud......"

Zhai Shangang spoke.

In the cabinet, it was as if a row of jays were flying over everyone's heads.

Isn't there too much to say about the sages!

Xie Jin, who had already lowered his head because of shame, roared loudly in his heart.

Zhai Shan sat upright, and said in a deep voice: "Kong Sheng said, ......"

As soon as he spoke, Xie Jin immediately raised his head.

Kong Sheng has said a lot of things, and they are all very reasonable.

I can't roar about this, and I can't object to this.

Zhu Gaochi blinked, which was another way for him to understand the officials of the Ming Dynasty.

Zhai Shan said softly: "There is no class. The old man Kong Sheng had 3,000 children at the beginning, but he never asked about the origin, regardless of the background, as long as he was willing to learn from his old man, he should accept it. ”

There is no point to refute this.

Back then, Sage Kong took 3,000 disciples to fight (draw lines) and lobby (affirm) the invincible opponents in the world, relying on education and classlessness.

Eight feet tall and holding an iron rod in his hand.

Zhu Yunxi, who was sitting above, slid a picture in his mind, and couldn't help but shudder.

He quickly straightened his face and looked at the core figures of the imperial power in front of him.

"Although the northern pass has been pacified now, the remnants have not yet been eliminated, but it will not be too much of a problem to have Tie Xuan in charge. But the west is going to be a good business, and there are many merchants from the sea in recent years, but the past Silk Road will be reopened as soon as possible to benefit the people in the northwest of the Ming Dynasty. ”

Within the four domains of the Ming Dynasty, there is now only one Western Regions left that has not yet opened the joint, and this matter was mentioned by many people in the court when the Northern Expedition army returned to Beijing in triumph.

Most of them are people from the household department and the metropolitan governor's office.

Now that Zhu Yunxi has taken it out again, it is obvious that it will be implemented from the cabinet downwards.

Ren Hengtai turned to the side slightly: "The railway plan of the cabinet has not yet been approved by the cabinet. It's not that the ministers are unwilling, but there are still some details that need to be improved. However, the ministers thought that it would probably not be long before they could discuss the details, and when the time came, it would be better to discuss with the ministers in the name of the cabinet first? ”

The development of the New World was all on the table, and Ren Hengtai really couldn't think of any reason to stop the construction of the Western Railway.

Reopening the Silk Road in the Western Regions and recreating the scenes of the Han and Tang dynasties will naturally add countless colors to the authority of the emperor, but at the same time, it will also give their cabinet ministers a solid reputation.

With Zhu Yunwen's return of what he saw and heard in the New World.

Ren Hengtai has figured out a lot of things today.

Since he can't stop the empire from going in a direction that he can't predict at all, he might as well be a participant and see with his own eyes what kind of magnificent scenery there is at the end of this road.

And with Ren Hengtai's initiative to speak at this moment.

A group of cabinet ministers led by Xie Jin immediately cast their eyes.

Ren Lao'er actually agreed to build the Western Railway!

Everyone was amazed.

You must know that although Ren Hengtai said that it will take some time to add the details, everyone knows that this is just a statement.

As for the details of the development and construction of the Western Railway, how Xie Jin proposed it in the cabinet at the beginning, and how it will appear in front of the court officials later.

Is the sun coming out of the west?

Even Xie Jin involuntarily turned his head to look out the window.

Ren Hengtai just smiled, and then arched his hand and said: "Your Highness, the old minister still has a worrying matter, which has been haunting his heart and has never dissipated. ”

Zhu Yunxi immediately smiled.

The first assistant of the cabinet no longer intends to block the issue of the western railway, and even if he is the grandson of the emperor of the country, he has to give others a face.

What's more, there was nothing wrong with Ren Hengtai in the first place.

All he did was to look at the future direction of the country from his point of view.

"Ren Ge, please speak."

Ren Hengtai nodded, his face rarely had a look that he would have had a long time ago and the look of being the head and auxiliary of the empire.

He said softly: "Right now, the four regions of the country will be decided, and there is good news from the New World. The country now has strength, and the proposal to change the name of the naval division to the navy was also said in the cabinet by the Duke of Wei on behalf of the Metropolitan Governor's Office the previous time.

At present, although the New World is far away from the imperial court, it will be governed by the imperial court itself after all. Next, how to settle the New World and who should preside over it, the imperial court still has to think in the long run.

When the old minister learned that His Royal Highness had sent people, he began to think about it, but he was never puzzled.

For the sake of the country, the old minister thought that this matter had to be decided as soon as possible. ”

After Ren Hengtai finished speaking, he looked directly at Zhu Yunxi above.

In his original idea, the New World naturally had to have a clan in charge, and there could not be only one, but three or four clans had to go to it in order to control each other and jointly develop the New World for the imperial court.

But let the clan send three or four clans at once?

This is obviously a bit difficult.

However, whether these selected clans are willing to go, even His Majesty the Emperor is afraid that he will not petition and let go of the three or four sons at once.

After all, the emperor is now very old.

Not to mention the officials in the court, even the emperor himself knew that if three or four sons were really sent out at that time, I am afraid that by the time Long Yu, these sons would have to take several years to come back.

Heaven, earth and man wheel, filial piety first.

Ren Hengtai felt that no matter how much he considered the country, he couldn't ignore the emperor's emotional problems.

But if you don't send the clan over.

So how should the imperial court deal with the disposition of the New World?

The cabinet selects civil and military officials to go?

Although it can also play a role in mutual control, it is always almost meaningful.

Even if the New World is not as vast as the Central Plains and the Four Regions, it will not be small.

With such a large piece of land, even if there are not many natives on it, there can't be a political envoy comparable to the Central Plains.

That's a no-brainer.

And most importantly, the sages never mentioned anything about the New World.

This makes Ren Hengtai have nothing to learn from.

Xie Jin frowned and thought about it, and was about to speak, but he immediately stopped, lowering his head so that others didn't know what he, the deputy assistant of the cabinet, was thinking.

Zhu Yunxi smiled and said softly: "Lone has a not very mature idea, but I don't know if you will agree." ”

This is already in a negotiating tone.

Even Xie Jin, who had just lowered his head, raised his head again.

"From the point of view of being conducive to the country's development of the New World, I think it is most appropriate to have someone who is familiar with the New World to preside over the future development of the New World."

As soon as this sentence was spoken, there was a surprise in the cabinet room.

Everyone was already faintly aware of Zhu Yunxi's intentions.

I saw Zhu Yunxi then said: "If it is recorded according to the New World Records sent back today, the population of the New World must not be much.

From this, we can see that in the future development of the New World, the affairs of pacifying and pacifying the localities that we have to invest in the early stage will be greatly reduced compared with those in the other places.

Then the imperial court only needs to pay more attention to how to make the development of the New World have a more favorable impact on the imperial court in the Central Plains.

I thought that Zhu Yunwen and Sun Cheng had gone through a lot of hardships this time, including the soldiers who sacrificed their lives and forgot to die, and they all made great contributions to the country.

If the country wants to develop the new continent, Zhu Yunwen and Sun Cheng must be rewarded.

And no matter how much you reward, you don't think it's enough to recognize their merits. So Lone thinks it's better for them to build the new continent they have discovered with their own hands?

After all, the New World is almost like a parent and child to them, and they will definitely manage it carefully. And...... When the early stage is stabilized and everything is on the right track, the court will summon them back, and then they will be rewarded again, which will show the importance of the court. ”

No one thought of it, or no one dared to think about it.

The imperial grandson actually asked Zhu Yunwen to preside over the development of the New World.

That is a key point related to what kind of attitude Yu Daming will stand in this world in the future.

Even Ren Hengtai, who has a heart for royal harmony, was surprised.

Although he was faintly aware of it when Zhu Yunxi opened his mouth just now.

But when all this was in front of him, Ren Hengtai wanted to speak out against it.

Zhu Yunxi stood up and did not intend to give these people a chance to object.

"It's just a discussion first, but I think about it, and I have to go to the Qianqing Palace."

As he spoke, he had already walked to the door of the class room, and then he stopped and looked back at everyone.

"My old man is now concerned about the latest news in the outside world."
