The words are too expansive and empty.

Being a good person is not enough to convince the public.

Zhu Jianji didn't think that he could convince all the civil and military officials with one or two sentences, and he didn't want to explain about this matter, anyway, the Ming Dynasty, where the imperial power is supreme, only the treasury has money, and no matter how he tosses, the opposition of the civil and military officials has little power.

Unless their fundamental interests are involved.

For example, during the land reform.

At this time, Dai Yi returned from the Wenhua Palace, with the huge world map, and at the same time, Chen Xianzhang, the Department of Education, also walked into the Fengtian Palace, found a place to sit down, and waited for the roll call of His Majesty Emperor Guang'an.

After being announced on a special trip, there will definitely be something about the Education Department, so Chen Xianzhang was a little worried in his heart.

He's also stressed.

The talents that the country needs now are drawn from his education department.

Even the Ministry of Officials is looking for important people from the Department of Education.

But there are only three or four thousand people in the imperial examination a year, and they have to study for one year in the three universities of Beijing, Tsinghua and Taixue, and this year it has become a university related to industry, medicine and agriculture under the will of His Majesty, and the Department of Education is now busy like a dog.

In fact, in the final analysis, there is only one problem: the talent gap is too big.

And the root cause is that His Majesty Emperor Guang'an's reform is too big, and all walks of life are being carried out at the same time, and even some industries that His Majesty has not taken into account are also promoting the evolution of industrialization on their own under the promotion of other industries!

Slowly, a torrent of the times will be formed.

Zhu Jianji asked Dai Yi to put the world map in the Fengtian Temple, and the two soldiers of Tengxiang Wu Xiang and the Four Guards stood on the chair and hung it, Zhu Jianji walked down slowly, walked to the world map, pointed to the area of Nanyang, and said: "Look, over the years, my Daming Sea trade merchant ships have ridden the wind and lone wolf, and now I have figured out the Nanyang side, and the location and topography of many states in Nanyang on this map are basically accurate. ”

After speaking, he asked the two soldiers to turn around, so that all the courtiers could see the location of Nanyang.

After that, Zhu Jianji pointed to Manraka and said with a smile: "Let's take a look, the location of Manraka happens to be a long tail extending from the Indochina Peninsula to the ocean, and the maritime Silk Road that I want to take in the Western Ocean in the Ming Dynasty is very important in this strait between Manraka and Sumatra, if this strait is controlled by a powerful state, then it is possible to cut off our maritime trade routes, which is a huge blow to my Ming Dynasty's open sea policy." ”

The importance of the Strait of Malacca cannot be overstated.

Let the two men continue to circle so that all the officers can clearly understand the location of the strait between Manraka and Sumatra.

After that, Zhu Jianji said: "This is a sea canyon, well, because he is between Manraka and Sumatra, so I named it Malacca, which is a homonym for Manraka." If this canyon is cut off, our Ming trade fleet will have to go around a farther road, and the cost will increase significantly, so for the future of Daming sea trade, I Daming must control the throat road of this day in hand, and from Cochin, Zhancheng, or from Vientiane, Dacheng land to send soldiers to garrison the locality, the road is too far, if the local riots, we are difficult to reinforce in time, so vigorously develop the water division, let the water division set up a base in Mangara, is the safest and most convenient operation, And to keep this strait in the hands of my Daming, there is a condition: the Daming Navy has always been invincible, but the times are advancing, we Daming can create a series of Dongfeng firearms, then other overseas countries may also be able to build, so we must go ahead of them, so it is very necessary to build a fleet or even several steel warships to ensure our sea trade! ”

After a pause, "Of course, there is another reason for building steel warships, that is, black oil, our domestic black oil is difficult to extract, but when Bai Xiu's merchant ships are sailing, they know that there is a place with rich black oil resources, even if it is a hoe to dig down, it may be oily, and those places also need our steel warships to set up bases, and take the base as the center, radiate a complete set of institutions, and transport as much black oil from those places back to China as possible." ”

The above paragraph can still be understood by the ministers.

After all, it is to ensure maritime trade.

In the next paragraph, except for the people in the Ministry of Industry, the rest of the people were confused - black oil is not a valuable thing, and it needs to be transported back to China from thousands of miles away at such a cost?

Your Majesty is crazy.

Zhu Jianji said again: "However, the matter of black oil is still a bit far away, because we currently do not have the corresponding technology to operate, if we are shipping, we can't build such a big ship, and if we use pipelines to transport by land, we need to refine the black oil first, and the technology has not been mastered at present, and the passage of the Western Regions has not yet been opened, so at present, our goal is the South Seas." ”

North Korea and Japan have already planned it.

Just waiting for implementation.

Now that the Indochina Peninsula is also under control, the next step is Manraka and Sumatra, and after mastering these two places, it can radiate other South Sea islands.

This is the big plan of the south of the Ming Dynasty.

Northern......

We'll talk about it later.

After all, the Rus Principality is already on the Siberian Plateau, and in any era, it is an imperial graveyard, and without complete preparation and crushing advantages, Zhu Jianji is really a little unsure.

Chen Xun, the head of the household, glanced at the dense island states in the South Sea, and couldn't believe it, "Your Majesty, are we going to take down all these island countries?" ”

It doesn't mean much.

Across the sea, the distance is far away, it is difficult to govern, and it is impossible to say when they will rebel, and there are so many of them, how much financial and human resources will be spent.

The point is that there is no benefit.

Zhu Jianji said with a smile: "What needs to be all down, now these states in Nanyang are far behind my Ming Dynasty, when the time comes, my Ming Dynasty will use the South China Sea Fleet as a stepping stone, directly find them to trade, and even support the puppet regime in the local area, so as to obtain their abundant materials, and in order to ensure this plan, we need to let Nanyang appear as much as possible a unified unified regime to facilitate management, in other words, we are treating many states in Nanyang as a farm." ”

After a pause, "And in order to ensure that this farm will not disobey the will of my Ming Dynasty, we only need to set up naval bases in some of these geographically important places to ensure that our Ming Dynasty's steel warships can crush the rebel forces anywhere at any time, and the materials, grain and grass of our naval base, of course, do not need to be borne by the imperial court, and directly let the local puppet regime be responsible, we only need to ensure the ordnance needs of the naval base!" ”
