At the beginning of the day, according to His Majesty's new living time, it should be time to go to bed...... Oh no, it's time to study the scriptures.

Zhu Qingping watched Gao Zhong hurriedly go to the imperial dining room again, chased after him and asked, "The imperial study is not over yet?" ”

Gao Zhong didn't stop: "Yes, Your Majesty let the discussion continue, just don't let the elders leave." Looking at this posture, I'm afraid I have to discuss it for a while, and let the imperial dining room prepare some snacks for supper. ”

Zhu Qingping was a little stunned to see that he was busy, and couldn't help but turn his head to look at the side of the Central Circle Hall.

I haven't come out of the study since early in the morning.

What is it that is on discussion today that makes Your Majesty so concerned?

In the imperial study, Cui Yuan, who became a social animal on the first day of work, looked at several old ministers with a weak face and a little trance in their eyes, as well as the emperor who was still in good spirits.

…… You're boiling them with a fifteen-year-old young body!

Cui Yuan, who is just forty-four years old, is actually fine.

But I didn't expect that this meeting after meeting the Portuguese would be like this.

“…… Your Majesty, from the immediate countermeasures to the long-term national policy, the ministers have listed the feasible methods one by one, and have thoroughly discussed whether they are feasible or not, and whether they are possible or not, as well as their gains and losses. His Majesty is worried about the sea, and the ministers have really felt it. His Majesty is determined to change the law and try to become stronger, and so are the ministers. ”

Yang Tinghe's voice continued tiredly: "Let Zhang Fujing be the temporary governor of the Imperial History of the Right Governor to try out the new laws of the rich country in Guangdong, and the ministers and others have already thought that it is okay. However, the re-establishment of the three battalions was in full swing, and the establishment of the Nanyang Naval Division in Guangdong far exceeded the needs of the enemy in Tuen Mun and the need to patrol the sea lanes of the coastal provinces to supplement the defense of warships in a few years. It's not that the ministers think they don't need it in the long run, it's just that the sailor ...... It's too expensive. ”

He was really tired, the old man was locked up here for a day's meeting, and now he is speaking less and less, and his tone is getting softer and softer.

Zhu Houxi nodded: "The only thing in all difficulties is money, and I also know it." Therefore, today we have reviewed many national policies of opening up sources and reducing expenditure, and decided that Zhang Fu will ask for the trial implementation of some new laws for rich countries. However, I have always believed that the seaside troubles of Westerners are not trivial. Just by taking advantage of the Battle of Tuen Mun to add a number of warships and replenish the generals in the coastal provinces of Haiphong Road, and then try to imitate the guns and sharp weapons of the Portuguese to improve their combat power, I am afraid that they will not be able to get rid of the situation of being tired and can only hold on. ”

Cui Yuan sighed in his heart: Here it is again, a new round of "I always think".

He didn't say that what you said was unreasonable, he just always emphasized that this Westerner sea hazard needs to be paid attention to, and it needs to be taken extremely seriously.

Then I stayed up like this with eighteen ministers who participated in the National Policy Council, and lunch and dinner were all used here, and there was also an official room if there was an emergency.

Cui Yuan didn't know that this was actually the first time, so he was still curious: Could Guo Xun be unable to stand such a meeting and take the initiative to ask to leave, right?

Cui Yuan, who had just come back for a day, didn't have time to learn a lot of news, not to mention that many things "didn't leave the imperial study".

Yang Tinghe's beard couldn't help shaking, he felt his mouth was dry, and he picked up the tea bowl and drank tea.

Willpower is wavering, and there is an urge to do whatever you want, and then go home and rest.

When reading history, Emperor Taizu was so diligent that people felt terrible, and officials were often afraid of being found wrong, and then they reunited with the family under Jiuquan.

And now what about Your Majesty? If you are at fault, he will not kill easily, he encourages you to quarrel boldly and rest assured, but he makes you quarrel all the time! It's been noisy all the time!

Is the most terrifying thing about this national focus meeting the danger around the emperor? No, it is a state in which no one except the emperor oppresses anyone to let go of the quarrel.

Sometimes, it takes a lot of willpower to refrain from being rude or swearing.

Zhu Houxi still maintained a worried expression.

No way.

Can a show of his knowledge of the world and overseas intelligence make them pay attention to the direction of the sea?

If it were only to interrogate Pilleigh, no one's attention would be further south on Tuen Mun Island.

The defeat of Tuen Mun is just an opportunity, at least more bloody and convincing than a map or something: people's current guns and warships are more powerful than the Ming Dynasty, and no one can deny the knowledge that hundreds of lives have been exchanged for.

However, it has been hundreds of years since Huaxia personally felt the irreversibility of the threat in the direction of the ocean, and the biggest headache in the direction of the sea in Jiajing was nothing more than the Japanese invaders.

He knew there was no need to rush, but he was afraid that if he didn't do something in this life, future generations would not be in a hurry for hundreds of years.

The opportunities of the ocean era are gone, and now they don't move, and if he doesn't personally promote it, who will really pay attention to the ocean?

Don't look at the look of deep approval in the main hall of the Qianqing Palace and when you first arrived at the imperial study, everyone is an old politician, and the superficial attitude is to be given.

Leaders attach great importance to it, and of course we must also attach great importance to it, although we actually do not attach importance to it in our hearts, and there are thousands of reasons why we do not pay attention to it.

Zhu Houxi first used an unusual way of speaking to talk to Pilleizi today, so that they were shocked by the importance that the emperor attached to this matter because of the first round of abruptness: After scattering so many brocade guards, in addition to going to Guangdong to kill people, there is also this task? Your Majesty already knows so much?

Pilez's reaction confirmed that what he said was true, and after coming to the imperial study, he exaggerated and depicted the invasion of foreign powers that would only occur in hundreds of years into the near future: I will finish it, and I will find a way quickly.

And then they were forced to figure out a way here first.

This kind of process of constantly trying to find a way for a "worrying about the sky" type of disaster, Zhu Houxi's description of the consequences over and over again will eventually play a brainwashing role.

The emperor attaches so much importance to one thing, and he will eventually let some courtiers with a heart work in this direction.

The direction is the way, sometimes it's just that, you have to be in a good position.

Of course, there are results.

Zhang Fu respectfully asked for a recital of the new law to be tried out in Guangdong, and it was thus passed.

You must know that before today, although the tone of the national policy meeting has long been that the new law will be implemented after all, it has been undecided when to start and which ones to try first.

When they "unanimously agreed" that the new law could be tried out in Guangdong immediately, and after Zhu Houxi said the sentence "I always think" again, he saw Yang Tinghe and the others' eyes looking forward to relief and instantly collapsed.

Destroy, hurry.

It's that sense of immediacy.

……

The eldest princess of Yongkang once suspected that Cui Yuan went out to drink and be happy after being on duty today.

Didn't you go to the Qinglou prostitute to have fun without any scruples?

But last night's bravery was unmatched, and I can't fake it, more than forty people, my body can't stand such a toss, right?

Or do you just touch it?

It wasn't until he approached his son that Cui Yuan returned home.

The expression is haggard, the eyes are in a trance, and the steps are weak.

But there was no smell of alcohol on his body.

"What's going on?"

Seeing that he didn't bother to wash, he lay down on the couch upside down, and the eldest princess of Yongkang was startled, and hurriedly sat down and asked.

“…… This national policy meeting is really not a place for people. ”

"What's going on?" The eldest princess of Yongkang was frightened, "Don't scare me! ”

Cui Yuan's eyes were sour, and he was a little teary-eyed: "I entered the palace before the time, and I discussed it until the end." His Majesty said that tomorrow the Minister of State Policy does not need to go to the Standing Court, but he will continue to discuss after entering the palace in the afternoon. ”

It's true. He thought he had finished his midnight snack and it was time to withdraw, right?

But His Majesty ate a few small plates, and ate for more than half an hour, chatting while eating, and from time to time used a few sentences of Jinyiwei's secret reports to support his views.

His cousin! My other nephew! Isn't it still lying in the hall for a few feasts before it will be launched next month!

How can it be like a story made up by some boring people, and you have to cling to the "danger" on the vast ocean?

With the power of the Ming Dynasty, isn't it okay to guard at the door of the house? As far as patrolling the coastal frontier, isn't it enough to have five times the scale of the coastal defense road now?

The eldest princess of Yongkang looked at him blankly, and she didn't want to cry because she wanted to cry because she wanted to talk about anything.

"Sleep first, sleep first, I'm so tired." Cui Yuan doesn't know what tomorrow will bring, and his energy must be guaranteed.

But in this way, can Yang Tinghe and Yuan Zonggao stand it?

On this night, the ministers participating in the National Policy Council dreamed that Zhu Houxi "I always think".

It is completely different from the people of the Celestial Empire who relocated to the land, and the Westerners who took risks and sought wealth as their common preference.

Westerners who can do whatever it takes for money, are not ashamed, but regard them as virtue and ability, and are afraid of power but not virtuous.

The king of a country issued a pass to pirates, encouraged his people to go to the sea to rob the Westerners, and then shared the spoils with the king.

A day of "bad discussion" turned into a nightmare of guns and guns and plundering at sea after falling asleep.

Yang Tinghe woke up when he was still about half an hour away, thinking about the nightmare, he suddenly remembered his son who was already in Guangdong.

In his troubled and not very agile thoughts, Yang Tinghe couldn't cry or laugh: It really doesn't look like he wants to use this issue to exchange anything for the courtiers, but is the trouble of Westerners really as terrifying as the emperor said?

Could it be that the outcome of the Battle of Tuen Mun was too tragic and His Majesty was overstimulated?

It really didn't look like what a wise and calm man would do.

Under the effect of the biological clock, Yang Tinghe could no longer fall asleep for a while.

There is no need to go to the Chang Dynasty today, so he simply got up and pondered the emperor's intentions, and pondered how to continue to deal with this topic when he entered the palace in the afternoon.

Wang Qiong is also pondering.

He was a pragmatist, but he also felt that the emperor seemed to be making a little fuss now.

In fact, the truth has been said, a huge water division is too expensive. Zheng He's fleet did not hold out all the time, which is a very important reason.

The emperor wanted to expand the territory, and the ministers naturally understood it. But how to govern will be a big problem, after having solid soil, the road is far away, how to solve the risk of secession?

And yesterday also tested the violation of the ancestral system to open the sea ban, although many maritime merchants no longer need to be sea bandits, but the number of people who value profit has increased, and there must be guns and cannons to go to and from the sea, how to prevent local tyranny in the future?

They didn't know that if they pondered this matter now, they had already achieved the emperor's goal.

After all, they were really forced to start thinking about this topic, even if it was out of necessity to deal with the Emperor's torture.

In the afternoon, in the imperial study room of the Central Circle Palace, the emperor was still in good spirits.

The old minister was gloomy: It can't be compared, he also got up early and went to the Chang Dynasty.

"After we dispersed last night, I thought about it a lot again......"

As soon as Zhu Houxi spoke, several people trembled.

Your age! Don't you sleep? You can still grow your body!

"Come to think of it, yesterday was too eager."

Yang Tinghe and Yuan Zonggao have obviously relaxed a lot: You have finally figured it out.

"This fact is a century-old plan, and there is no reason why it can be done in a hurry." Zhu Houxi's worried expression was gone, and now it was replaced by a serious expression, "However, I always think that ......"

The hands that everyone put under the desk couldn't help but clench their fists.

“…… Sooner or later, Westerners of that generation will become a big problem! ”

The fist was loosened, and sooner or later there was more of it, and that still figured it out. There's no hurry.

"For this reason, I believe that I must have a national policy that will not be changed for a hundred years."

Eighteen Pained Arhats looked at him.

Zhu Houxi said categorically: "Even if the sea disaster I said will not be out of control in just ten or even a hundred years, I should also plan for the Ming Dynasty to build another Great Wall on the sea in Nanyang for the sake of my life!" ”

Yang Tinghe's eyes were dark, and he obviously shook, and there were six or seven who were similar to him.

Building the Great Wall is a sign of the country's demise!

Or repair it at sea!

"Don't panic!" Zhu Houxi was afraid that he would have a myocardial infarction, "This Great Wall is not the Great Wall!" This Great Wall on the sea is only closed but has no walls. If we can set up a port garrison at the key places of the sea route in the direction of the South and Oriental Seas of our Ming Dynasty and control the main road, we will not be able to rush to the sea and pursue the enemy, and there is always a danger of invasion by pirates at home. ”

Yang Tinghe eased his nerves and said with a complicated mood: "Your Majesty is saying that it's like the Portuguese captured Manraka and locked that strait?" ”

"Exactly! At that time, it was a vassal state, and there was no use for the screen domain, and I didn't want to take care of it. However, it is not what it used to be, for the Ming Dynasty, the foundation of coastal defense may lie in the strategy of the South Seas, which is an unswerving national policy. ”

Yang Tinghe didn't want to speak. It's just a different way of saying it, and I talked about it yesterday.

The fundamental problem is that the distance is too far away, how to effectively control it, and control it when it can bring benefits.

Can the two Cantons be chaotic like that, let alone Nanyang?

"I know the difficulty, but I'm not in a hurry, I'm still young. As the secretary said, first imitate the guns of the Westerners and strengthen the coastal defense road, and there is no need to make a big deal about it now, which I have figured out. Zhu Houxi pretended to be as if yesterday's worries were just stupid for a while, "However, looking at a hundred years, I have this national policy of passing through the South Seas and building the Great Wall on the sea, does the secretary think it is true?" ”

Everybody is tired.

You say you're not in a hurry, right? You said that for now, you can just imitate guns and strengthen the coastal defense road, right?

The hundred-year national policy, the rest of the matter, let him go.

So the eighteen suffering arhats all replied in unison: "This is indeed the best policy." ”

Zhu Houxi nodded with satisfaction: "Then the imperial study will hang a plaque from now on, and the national policy will not be changed for a hundred years." The first is the Great Wall of the South Sea. In the future, the national policy meeting, every time the ministers go to the imperial study, they will see, think, and often discuss. I believe that with the sage of the monarch and the minister, in one year, three years, five years, and ten years, we can always negotiate a safe policy and always find an opportunity to achieve it! ”

The eighteen pained arhats trembled in unison.

Do you want to think about and discuss this question often in the future?

Fooled, will you enjoy this kind of "treatment" for a hundred years?

This minister who participated in the national policy meeting should not be!

Today's 11,800 words, 10,000 + 1 per day, and the alliance leader plus more -1 = 6. This plot can't be finished at once due to the update, so there is a sense of separation. It's hard to change the deep-rooted lack of attention to the ocean, and since the protagonist can be so calm in doing things in front of him, how can he suddenly show something in order to pretend to be forced? He is the only one in the entire Ming Dynasty who has the most hope of reversing some cognitions, and there may be masters among the people who have realized it, but the court bosses will not care. The good thing about the Emperor is that I can torture you to think about it: I can do something without hurry, but you have to think about it.

That's enough, take your time.

Starting tomorrow, the amount of updates will be reduced to at least two updates per day, with a minimum of 8,000 words. I can save more manuscripts and polish them well, and people can be more relaxed. 130,000 words were updated in 10 days, and the manuscript was rapidly consumed, accompanied by revisions in some places.

Quality first, more understanding.
