Two days later, Zheng Bin left Yangang with 5,000 taels of silver and was very satisfied.

Yan Zheng is very generous to buy the Belt and Road Party, which is also an investment, whether it can be profitable or not, at least you have to do it!

He has read the history of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, and has always felt that the war between countries is to some extent more important than military strength.

His favorite is the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, in this magnificent history, the sages have played all the tactics and strategies they can play!

The strategic layout of vertical and horizontal seems to be light, but it is the pinnacle of the game between countries, and this kind of competition in diplomacy is rarely seen in later dynasties.

In later generations, since the Tang and Song dynasties, the level of foreign games has plummeted, just like several divine operations to frustrate the Song Dynasty, which directly changed itself from the Northern Song Dynasty to the Southern Song Dynasty.

When it came to the Ming Dynasty, in fact, it was the same, they all began to focus on the court game, focus on the intrigue in the court and politics, and there was no feat of fighting and plotting with the outside world, at most they had a tributary system to play with.

Therefore, in Yan Zheng's top-level design, there is actually a design to transfer internal contradictions, this design of three houses and a cabinet is very similar to the Prussian Empire in later generations, and it can also be called a real monarchy and constitution.

The cabinet is actually the secretary of the monarch, and it is consistent with the will of the monarch. Together with a part of the Privy Council, they formed the House of Parliament.

……

Privy council.

The five cabinet ministers were all summoned by Yan Zheng, and a Ryukyu levy bill was sent to them.

Ah Ku looked at this requisition bill carefully, and only felt that it was clearly organized, and discussed in detail the military strength of the Ryukyus, as well as the military strength of his own side.

More importantly, this bill expounds that sending troops to Ryukyu will make Ryukyu sugar cheaper and earn foreign exchange for the sugar industry in China!

Ashin has no doubts, he has been an envoy to Ryukyu this time, and he has long known the meaning of the king's intention to fight Ryukyu, and through this visit, he also feels that he can fight.

Only Qiu Ruicai, his brows furrowed violently, as a child of the Ming Kingdom, he clearly believed that this bill was measured by interests, whether to send troops to attack Ryukyu!

He didn't dare to say it first, he really wanted to remind him that sending troops like this is a nameless division! Nameless teacher, that's a loss of righteousness and little help!

What's more, this Ryukyu is a vassal state of the Ming Dynasty, if this sends troops to the Ryukyus, it will definitely attract the reprimand of the Ming Dynasty! If it's serious, it will also attract officers and soldiers of the Ming Dynasty!

Yan Zheng watched the changes in the faces of these five people, leaned back in the chair and said, "This document is an internal reference, that is, a cabinet reference document, you have to collect it after you read it!" Remember, this is just a closed-door discussion, the real bill, you must do it beautifully! ”

Ah Ku raised his head and said: "This bill says that the output of brown sugar in Ryukyu is estimated to be more than 10,000 tons, that is, two million catties!" That doesn't seem like much, does it? Are we letting the sugar of the Ryukyus be shipped to Dongqin every year? ”

Yan Zheng said with a smile: "It can't be counted like this, but we have mastered the advanced productive forces, and if we enter the market, we will definitely make the brown sugar production of Ryukyu higher!" It will also be cheaper for the people to eat sugar. ”

Ah Ku nodded, and then asked, "Ryukyu is about three days away from us, isn't it a little too far?" Do we have the ability to fight down, the ability to defend? ”

"It's not a fight, it's unrealistic! Instead, through force, we forced the Ryukyu Kingdom to sign a clause that allowed us to go to the Ryukyus for free trade. Yan Zheng explained: "In other words, I don't want to overthrow the Ryukyu regime, I just want to do business with them!" ”

"Why don't you take it completely?" Chen An, who had not spoken, spoke.

Yan Zheng glanced at him and said, "Just like Ah Ku said, if we fight down, we may not be able to hold it!" Now the strength is limited, so the minimum price must be exchanged for the maximum benefit! ”

Chen An also nodded, as the Minister of Aborigines, he was originally from the education department.

Yan Zheng asked him to be a cabinet minister, firstly, for balance, and secondly, this person is very suitable for hard work, tiring and dirty work, and he is also an absolute Yan party.

"Qiu Ruicai, what do you think?" Yan Zheng suddenly called by name.

Qiu Ruicai, who had never wanted to speak on this matter, was silent for a while and said: "Your Majesty, I have studied the data analysis you said these days, and I want to analyze more data from the Ryukyus and then comment!" ”

Yan Zheng smiled faintly: "No need, in a place the size of a sesame seed in Ryukyu, the data is not complete!" In terms of data analysis, we still analyze our own, such as the annual economic situation. You just have to tell me what you think about it! ”

"This ......" Qiu Rui thought about it, and said hard: "Your Majesty, you have to be careful of Mingguo!" Ryukyu is its vassal, and a hasty attack will not only lead to a nameless division, but it is more likely to attract the revenge of the Ming Kingdom! ”

Yan Zheng hummed and said, "That's why I didn't destroy Ryukyu directly!" Do you think Ryukyu is really capable of stopping our occupation? Don't worry, I bet that if we beat up Ryukyu and absorb some benefits, Mingguo will not ask, or even bother to ask, as long as we don't directly annex Ryukyu! ”

Qiu Ruicai didn't know why Yan Zheng was so confident, but after thinking about it carefully, he felt that if the Ryukyus were not destroyed, it was really possible for Daming to turn a blind eye.

"It's just...... This has to be famous, right? ”

"Haha, Master Qiu, Master Qiu, you have read too many Confucian classics, right? The attacks of the countries during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, wasn't that time famous? It's very simple for the teacher to be famous, and for me, it's just an explanation for the people! Now the king of the Ryukyus has given me the crown of the prince and sent an envoy to read the royal decree, which is a humiliation to me and a humiliation to the Huaxia Kingdom, is this enough! Yan Zheng said sonorously.

Qiu Ruicai was stunned, and he secretly said in his heart: "This is to destroy a country, if the people of Ryukyu suffer from this unwarranted disaster, how can they believe this name?" ”

But he didn't dare to continue, he could see that Yan Zheng was determined to fight. And judging by the numbers on the books, it shouldn't be difficult to hit the Ryukyus.

After everyone had no doubts, Yan Zheng ordered them to sort out a bill within five days, and then immediately convene a meeting of the court to discuss the bill.

According to the provisions of the Chinese Constitution, it is generally necessary to pass the parliament only when foreign policies, domestic funds, construction projects, laws, policies, etc. are involved.

The content of day-to-day administration, the judiciary at all levels of the Huaxia Kingdom, and the court parliament have no right to interfere.

In the administrative content assigned to the country, Yan Zheng's power to the monarch has torn a hole, for example, the administrative power of the monarch includes the appointment and dismissal of officials!

According to the correct division, the power of appointment and dismissal should be limited, for example, it can only be approved by the House of Representatives, and then appointed and removed from the candidate list.

But as a prophet, he naturally wanted to keep a hand! In the future, if a correct bill is really outdated, when there are officials who are not long-sighted, he can give a special order to kick it away and discuss it again.

…………

After coming out of the Privy Council, Yan Zheng came to a wooden shed laboratory outside the Red Room.

Students from the Chemistry and Physics groups are experimenting with making glass.

In fact, the difficulty of making glass is no less than that of steelmaking, and the first few tests have declared failure.

The first failure was due to the fact that the crucible did not have a lid, which caused the molten glass to be contaminated.

The second time was because the crucible with the lid was propped open, which led to the failure of the test.

It was not until the craftsmen of the ceramics factory added a curved exhaust clay pipe to the crucible with a lid that the problem was declared resolved.

But the problem that arises is that every time the glass is melted, it needs to be clamped out with a crucible clamp before the next step can be carried out.

Although Yan Zheng knew some clarifying agents, he had never carried out similar tests, and the annealing furnace was designed to increase or decrease the amount of glass.

Not to mention the students, even Yan Zheng was a little broken.

This is not the production of flat glass, if you want to produce flat glass, according to the existing conditions, you can only use the more primitive "French flat glass casting system".

Because in East Asia, there is no suitable blower at all!

Before the flat glass production facility was built, Yan Zheng could only make some glassware that could be made by the stamping method.

There are no craftsmen who can polish their hands, and if they want to polish a telescope, they will have to explore slowly.

Who said that you can easily make glass and make a lot of money after crossing?
