"Therefore, the emperor's dispatch of troops this time is the same as Qin Shi Huang Han Gaozu's conquest of South Vietnam."

"Not bad!"

"Not bad!"

The ministers agreed.

And we started talking about it.

"The small countries in the southwest are rich in rice, and rice is harvested three times a year."

"If you can occupy these places as Daming Province, the granary of Daming Taicang will definitely be full next year. The occupation of these countries is of great significance to the Ming Dynasty. ”

"With these grains, the negative impact of rising food prices caused by the emperor's distribution of money to the people will be eliminated soon. At that time, grain will not continue to rise, but may even decline. ”

"And the southwestern countries still have long coastlines. Since my Daming Navy Division used steamship warships, it can be said that he is basically invincible. And it is only on the long coastline that the sailors will come into play. ”

"Therefore, the occupation of the coastline also has great strategic value for the Ming Dynasty."

"Moreover, with steamboats, it is more convenient for fishermen to catch shrimp and catch more."

"In the past, there was not much income from aquatic products, and fishermen had a difficult life because of their backward fishing methods. But since the advent of steamboat fishing boats, the profits from their seafood have been huge. ”

"The food brought by aquatic products cannot be ignored."

"People eat more fish, and they can also stabilize food prices."

"So conquering the southwestern countries and incorporating them into the territory of the Ming Dynasty will be beneficial to the Ming Dynasty!"

"The minister seconded the proposal!"

"The minister seconded the proposal!"

The ministers seconded the proposal.

It's no wonder that they all seconded the proposal, and if they defeat their southwestern neighbors, they will raise their wages, can they not be active?

"Your Majesty, since you want to fight the southern countries, is it easy to fight with Tianzhu?" A military general suggested, "I heard that when Lao Tzu turned into a Hu, he rode a green ox to Tianzhu. ”

"Tianzhu Buddha Kingdom is Lao Tzu's transformation."

"I am a Ming dynasty to establish a country, and it is a bit unreasonable not to go to the country where Lao Tzu turned into a Hu."

"And perhaps, there are still many classics left by Lao Tzu in Tianzhu, which are not available in the Central Plains. The minister heard that the "Tao Te Ching" left by Lao Tzu was deleted and modified by the dynasties for a long time, and there were many errors. ”

"Maybe in Tianzhu, you can find the original of the Tao Te Ching."

"What Aiqing said is reasonable." After Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, he thought for a while and said, "Since the Ming Dynasty wants to establish the country with Taoism, then Tianzhu must be beaten, and Tianzhu is even more rich in grain." ”

"We went against them, and we did not know whether their people would like it or not." One of the ministers said, "The minister means that the people in those areas are willing to recognize their ancestors and return to their ancestors." ”

"If you want to, then it's easy to attack."

"Of course they do!" Zhu Yuanzhang said, "We have thousands of years of civilization, and human beings were born in our two river basins. ”

"And then gradually migrated to other places."

"So in the end, their roots are in the Yangtze River and the Yellow River."

"If it weren't for Confucianism, a thousand-year-old cancer, which hindered our development, our culture and civilization would be incomparably brilliant and become the source of world civilization. Just think about the people of the world, who doesn't want to embrace these thousands of years of culture? ”

"Who wouldn't want to embrace the origin of this world?"

"The source of humanity?"

"Who doesn't want to go back to their ancestors?"

"Roots and ancestors are blood, and bloodline is the commonality of all living beings in the world."

"Don't think that people from countries other than the Ming Dynasty only pay attention to themselves and don't pay attention to blood, they are not interested in tracing their ancestors. Even animals pay attention to blood, let alone people? ”

"Those hen yellow sheep can distinguish their children at once, why, it's not because of blood?"

"The Emperor Shengming!" Yang Xian said, "Since you want to let the people in these places recognize their ancestors and return to their ancestors, who will be in charge of the expedition?" Is it a march with a large army, or is it divided into several armies? ”

"The minister suggested that he be flanked on both sides."

"On the one hand, it passes by land from Yunnan, and on the other hand, it passes by sea."

"I now have the most advanced steam turbine warship in the world, and it will be unimpeded from the sea."

"But then it will be necessary to build steamships on a large scale. Is there enough steel, is there enough wood? It seems that the large-scale construction of warships can also expand domestic demand. ”

Do you still need to say that large-scale construction of warships?

After Emperor Zhu had the idea of attacking the southwest, he had secretly issued an order to let the craftsmen of the Ship Division step up construction.

Now that the attack is proposed in the court, it proves that large-scale warships have been built.

"Not bad." Zhu Yuanzhang said, "The attack on the southwestern countries is the largest large-scale military operation launched by the Ming Dynasty after the founding of the Ming Dynasty, which is greater than the conquest of Goryeo and the Japanese state. ”

"Therefore, we have to be cautious in the selection of generals."

"The dispatch of troops, the preparation of grain and grass, and the dispatch of warships all require generals with high quality to be able to serve."

"Rank General, wait a minute, and give us a battle plan."

"Whoever does a good job, we will let whoever is in command."

"The ministers obey." A group of generals said.

……

"Wait......" Suddenly, an official from Guangxi Province said, "People in other places like to have children or not, the minister doesn't know." But the minister's investigation found that in the minister's hometown, the people did not like to give birth, and even many young men and women did not marry after adulthood. ”

"There is such a thing?" Zhu Yuanzhang's expression froze after hearing this, "With the character of my Chinese people, there are people who don't like to have children?" ”

"They don't dare to give birth and don't want to get married, which proves that the local government is in the common people."

"Then it proves that the people are not doing well!"

"Someone's coming, let's check, strictly investigate!"

"Yes!" Liu Bowen said. He is now the Imperial History Zhongcheng, responsible for supervising hundreds of officials, and concurrently serving as the vice president of the Jixia Academy. It can be said that he has a heavy responsibility on his shoulders and is very busy every day.

However, he was tired and happy, because he witnessed the glorious development of Jixia School Palace and Baijia culture.

In fact, he had long wanted to resign from the position of Zhongcheng in the imperial history and only become the vice president. However, for the time being, there is no replacement candidate, and the emperor only trusts him, so he can only suffer a little.

"In addition, men who have reached the age of eighteen and women who have reached the age of sixteen are not allowed to be single without a valid reason." Zhu Yuanzhang said, "Every year, the local government holds a blind date conference, and their marriage must be thoroughly implemented." ”

"If you can't find a partner at the three blind date conferences, you will be fined!"

"The creatures of nature have never seen any kind of animal, and they like to be single."

"In short, let the people of Daming have more children for themselves and Daming, and give birth to as many children as they can. When they grow up, they migrate to other places and bring our Chinese civilization with them. ”
