"Is there no other way?"

Zhu Di said softly, but his face showed that he was not calm at all.

He Qiu shook his head, if it really got to that point, Da Ming would really have no way at all.

Now at this time, it is not as good as later, there are also forts, wate

Thunder and other things can slow down the pace of the attack of the sailors.

In later generations, it was generally difficult for navy ships to enter the Yangtze River, but now at this time, even the navy's ships will not be ridiculously large, and it is really easy to enter the Yangtze River waterway.

Such a move is easy for a country with a navy.

It's just that what He Qiu didn't say was that there don't seem to be countries with such a strong navy in the world now, and there are not many people in Europe today who have developed their navy.

But He Qiu's original intention was to force Zhu Di to develop the navy and attach importance to maritime affairs, so such a small matter would naturally not be reported to Zhu Di truthfully.

But he believes that as long as he points out the threat, Zhu Di will definitely not take it lightly, and if Zhu Di sends Zheng He to the West again this time, it will definitely not be as simple as deterring vassal states.

Zhu Di stared at the coastline drawn by He Qiu on the ground with some absent-mindedness, and suddenly asked out loud.

"Is there a reason why you don't want me to settle in Beiping?"

He Qiu was stunned for a moment and nodded.

The position of Beiping is the same, once the enemy comes from the sea, there is no place to hide, and it is only about three days from Tianjin Wei to Beiping.

Even if the enemy did not cause much damage, the shock to the Ming Dynasty, whose capital was in Beiping, would not be small.

Therefore, He Qiu was a little reluctant to set the capital of Beiping again, not to mention that the vicinity of Beiping is full of mountains, the hinterland is too small, and the problem of food shortage is too serious.

Zhu Di sighed, and said helplessly on his forehead.

"I wanted to tell you good news, but I didn't expect ......"

When Zhu Di first arrived at He Qiu's mansion, he was still quite happy in his heart, after all, He Qiu's "Wealth of Nations" can be accepted by people in the market, and the harm of the gentry he pointed out can also be remembered by the people of the Ming Dynasty.

In this way, the road to change the law is unimpeded.

How can this not make Zhu Di happy?

Unexpectedly, when He Qiu came up, he threw him such a stuffy stick again, which made Zhu Di's mood depressed.

Zhu Di said a little boringly.

"These things you talked about with me today, you should summarize them as soon as possible, write them into a fold and submit them, I and the Emperor Taishang will read them, and then discuss them with the ministers."

"As for Yu Yanzhao, look at the arrangement."

After speaking, Zhu Di left in a low voice, and He Qiu took the time to see Yu Yanzhao, encouraged him again, and sent him out of the mansion.

Back in the study, He Qiu shook his head, today this matter was also thought of when he was writing the theory of sea power, and the lesson of Ta Qing was too painful later.

But in the past, He Qiu only hoped to develop maritime trade and sailors, because he thought that there must be a lot of people in the DPRK and China who could see the role of maritime trade.

If it weren't for Zhu Di telling him that even Zhu Di himself felt that the navy was a little too expensive, He Qiu would not have thought of taking out this kind of example.

Since Zhu Di asked He Qiu to write a big article, He Qiu naturally would not refuse, and I am afraid that only He Qiu can write such an article now.

The next day, He Qiu handed over the Xiongwen he had written, and waited for Zhu Di's summons.

Zhu Di and Zhu Yuanzhang both saw He Qiu's article in the palace, and Zhu Yuanzhang also listened to Zhu Di's alarmist words yesterday.

Even Zhu Yuanzhang had to admit that He Qiu was thinking far-reaching, but whether it was just groundless or really far-sighted, that was another matter.

But now that he really sees He Qiu's big article, Zhu Yuanzhang feels very uncomfortable, it is really He Qiu's article that is too happy.

For the first time, Zhu Yuanzhang found that he was outdated and couldn't keep up with the ideas of young people.

However, Zhu Yuanzhang didn't get too entangled, just looked at Zhu Di with some ease and said.

"Everything I can do has been done, and as for the rest of it, it's up to you."

Zhu Yuanzhang's meaning is very clear, no matter what He Qiu said is true or false, Zhu Yuanzhang will not care about it anyway, after all, a generation has the responsibility of a generation.

Now Zhu Yuanzhang also sees clearly that it is enough for him to drive out the Tartars, restore the Central Plains, establish the Ming Dynasty, and smoothly hand over such a huge dynasty to Zhu Di.

As for the next thing, it only depends on Zhu Di himself, what Zhu Yuanzhang can do is to help educate Zhu Gaochi, let him become more shrewd, don't be deceived by the courtiers.

The requirements of being an emperor are not very high, but the wrists required must be high, and they must have the ability and confidence to dare to turn over the table, otherwise the emperor will only be forced into a corner.

This is also the truth that Zhu Yuanzhang realized after so many years of emperor career and referring to the deeds of previous emperors, and there is nothing wrong with handing it over to Zhu Gaochi at this time.

Zhu Di sighed, and he didn't know what to say with a bitter face, but it was a good thing that Zhu Yuanzhang was unwilling to interfere in court politics anymore.

It's better than Zhu Yuanzhang seeing He Qiu's fold and personally intervening, right?

Erasing the careful thoughts in his heart, Zhu Di held a court meeting, and at the court meeting, Zhu Di first asked a question.

"Do you Aiqing, do you know where my Daming's silk takeaways are sold?"

The courtiers looked at each other, who knows?

He Qiu stood up calmly and said.

"Most of my Ming silk, porcelain, tea and other items were sold to the original Great Qin, and they were sold by land to the Great Cannibals west of the Western Regions, who resold them to Great Qin.

Nowadays, there are ships from the direction of Daqin that have come to Daming and transported goods directly from Daming. ”

"Then how much can I sell my Daming's silk and other things to Daqin?"

Or He Qiu, said loudly.

"As far as the minister knows, my Daming's silk and other things, sold to Daqin, can be increased tenfold on the original price!"

This time, the courtiers are also a little uncalm, ten times? Is it so exaggerated?

At that moment, an official couldn't help but stand up and ask.

"I don't know if what the good townsman said is true? How can there be such a high profit? ”

He Qiu didn't care, just bowed down and said.

"If someone doesn't believe it, you can consult the people in the Yili Sect who came to the court, they have communicated more with the tribes in the West all year round, and they should know about this matter!"

Zhu Di was furious.

"So, I've been helping the tribes in the Western Regions make money? On the contrary, my Daming only made a cost of money?! ”

Seeing that Zhu Di was angry, the courtiers couldn't care so much, and knelt on the ground and shouted.

"Wait for death!"

"Fart!"

Zhu Di said angrily.

"What's the use of me wanting you to die? I can share the affairs of the state for me! What can you do to earn this money to my side? ”

Zhu Di's gaze swept over the ministers below, but none of them replied, which made Zhu Di feel disappointed.
