"But we advise you not to try to deal with him." Zhu Yuanzhang said, "Because of the first batch of divine machine muskets produced by the Ordnance Bureau, we will give priority to equipping them in the guards that protect Mr. Qin, and then equip Jingwei." ”

Actually gave priority to equipping the guards to protect Qin Yu, and then equipping the Jingwei to protect Yingtian?

It can be seen from this how important that person's position in Emperor Zhu's heart is.

When the crowd heard this, they were shocked.

"Minister, don't dare!" Seeing that the emperor had made his words clear, the ministers said one after another, "Mr. Qin has made my Ming Dynasty strong in such a short period of time, so that the people have enough food and clothing, and it is too late for me to admire him." ”

"How dare you hold a grudge against him?"

"Whoever dares to be rude to him, I will be the first to refuse."

"I hope you're telling the truth." Zhu Yuanzhang said surgingly, "Mr. Qin is the powerful national fortune of my Ming Dynasty, the artifact of Zhenguo. If you are an enemy of Mr. Qin, you are an enemy of us, and you are an enemy of the Ming Dynasty. ”

"The ministers know." The crowd said.

I was shocked in my heart, Emperor Zhu's words were too heavy.

To be an enemy of Qin Yu is to be an enemy of the emperor and an enemy of the Ming Dynasty?

If anyone dares to assassinate Qin Yu in the future and be caught by the emperor, I am afraid it will be more than just punishing the Nine Clans. I am afraid that anyone who has something to do with him will be implicated and killed.

"Alright, let's talk about something else." Zhu Yuanzhang said, "In addition to the management intentions of various places, Shen Wansan's Ministry of Commerce also played a vital role. ”

"The effect is simply beyond our expectations."

"Shen Wansan."

"The minister is here." Shen Wansan stood up and said.

"Tell the ministers, what have you done?" Zhu Yuanzhang said.

"Yes!" Shen Wansan said, then, with a smile on his eyebrows, he told the ministers about the role played by the Ministry of Commerce one by one, and finally said, "In addition to helping the emperor to implement these two measures smoothly, the Ministry of Commerce has not yet handed over five million taels of taxes to the treasury." ”

"Did you hear that?" Zhu Yuanzhang said, "You scholars, you used to look down on businessmen, but now the role played by the Ministry of Commerce is something you can't do in your lifetime." ”

"The book of sages says that since the self-cultivation Qi family governs the country and the world, since the merchants can play a role in the world, it proves that they are also in line with the teachings of the sages. After that, what qualifications do you have to look down on businessmen? ”

"Your Majesty, the ministers used to look down on businessmen, but the ministers were blinded, and they still hope that Your Majesty will be guilty." A civilian official said.

"We are all short-sighted, only Your Majesty is as short-sighted as a torch. If it weren't for His Majesty's unique vision, we would still be the same old thoughts. Another civil official said, "Now that I have the emperor's guidance, I will suddenly realize it." ”

"It can be seen that the emperor's vision exceeds that of everyone in the court."

"Not only surpassing all the courtiers, but also surpassing all the emperors of the past dynasties, the emperor is really a saint of the ages!"

"Hmm. Treating businessmen as lowly people is a thought that has been passed down from generation to generation, and it is understandable that you can't turn your mind for a while. Zhu Yuanzhang nodded, and after being slapped by the crowd, he didn't plan to care about it anymore.

And Shen Wansan, his whole body trembled slightly with excitement.

He was looked down upon by those scholars and courtiers all his life, and today he finally raised his eyebrows.

"By the way, we remember that someone just now said that Daming was equipped with a divine machine musket to prevent Fanbang aliens from attacking my Daming country?" Zhu Yuanzhang asked again.

"The Point Guard Is Here"

"Exactly." The crowd said.

"Such a powerful firearm is only used for defense, and your pattern is too small, and your thinking is too conservative." Zhu Yuanzhang said.

"What? The emperor is going to ......," a military general asked, his eyes lit up.

"Of course, we want to expand the territory, have you forgotten the world map that Mr. Qin drew for us? In the past, our eyes were limited to a small part of the Ming Dynasty, but now that we have known the world, we should look at the world. ”

"We're going to get out."

"I remember that Mr. Qin told us before that the territory of the United States is larger than the territory of my Ming Dynasty, and the area of cultivated land is more. The same is true for what is shown on the map. ”

"They also said that they are already engaged in globalization, and it will not be long before they will open our country."

"Therefore, we must be prepared for danger in times of peace."

"Your Majesty, please lead a team of 10,000 divine muskets to the United States, attack them, and strike first." Feng Sheng, the Duke of Song, stood up and took the initiative to ask for help.

"No." Zhu Yuanzhang said, "Judging from the map, the United States is too far away from our Ming Dynasty. My Ming navigation skills are far from enough. A hundred years later, the reason why the United States was able to open our country was that it had mastered more advanced navigation technology than ours. ”

"Your Majesty." Li Shanchang came out and said, "With my current navigation skills in the Ming Dynasty, it is still difficult to go to a Japanese country, let alone to go to the United States." And judging from the map, the sea area between the Ming Dynasty and the United States is ten times that of the Wa Kingdom. ”

"Besides, the territory of the United States is so large, and the land is richer than my Ming Dynasty, and a powerful dynasty must have been established on it. You led a 10,000-strong Divine Machine Battalion and wanted to defeat it? Wish for the moon! Hu Weiyong said, "The minister estimates that even if he brings ten times the number of troops, I'm afraid it won't be enough." ”

"After our Ming Dynasty, the national strength will be stronger, more magic muskets will be made, and the navigation technology will be more advanced, so that we can do it to the United States. At least you have to lead thousands of warships, more than 200,000 elites, and the mighty past to have a chance to defeat them. ”

"Not bad! The United States is my greatest enemy. Zhu Yuanzhang nodded, "Before dealing with this most powerful enemy, you must be fully prepared, otherwise you will be defeated and beaten by them, and the Ming Dynasty will be in danger." ”

"The Emperor Shengming!"

The ministers said.

"By the way, has Enko, which is opened for the southwest, started?" Zhu Yuanzhang asked.

"It's already started." Li Shan said.

"Swing the Tribute Courtyard!" Zhu Yuanzhang said.

It was all the students from the southwest who came to Yingtianfu to take the exam, not in the southwest.

Because of Enke this time, the emperor also has to hand-pick the champion, list the eye, and explore the flowers. The emperor could not go to the southwest.

Moreover, those students have not yet passed the hospital examination and the township examination, and they will take the examination directly.

Because the southwest used to be very remote, the population was small, and there were very few scholars, so the officials in charge of this matter sent all the scholars over. Some of them are already talents, while some are still children.

Only one test determines life and death.

Gongin.

At five o'clock in the morning, the students got up early and entered the venue.
