"This ...... An can be so, An can be so ......"

Although Lian Zining is only strong and free, compared with many other conservative imperial histories, he can be regarded as peaceful. Most of the conservative officials are stunned and at a loss. What's more, he was already drenched on the spot, and he couldn't care about the official body, so he covered his face with his sleeves on the spot and sobbed.

The Chinese people are the most local people, as far as these officials think, this Fengming Prefecture is tens of thousands of miles away from the land of China, if you go, I am afraid that this life will be destined to be a guest death in a foreign land, and you will never see the scenery of your hometown again.

What's more, in front of the emperor before, it was said that the family moved together. He was enthusiastic about serving his family and country, but in the end he ended up with a fate that was no different from the whole family?

Oh, not really. The whole family is distributed, and the most is distributed to Qiongzhou and Liaodong. The land of Fengmingzhou is tens of thousands of miles away......

Seeing that over there, the maritime faction supported by those merchants was overjoyed, while on this side, the few conservatives were gloomy, and Zhu Su couldn't help but feel compassion. "Lord Lian, my lords." He took a few steps forward, trying to comfort the officials. "Don't think that Fengming Prefecture is a bitter cold place."

"How can that place produce such a good seed as corn, and even a 'divine seed' that yields more than corn, be as barren as you imagined? This king thinks that the most immortal achievement is to follow the example of the sages, open up the soil of our Chinese civilization, and strengthen the power of our Chinese heritage. ”

"All of you are talented and learned, and you are all loyal to serve the country, and you are by no means greedy for money and glory. With such a vast world in Fengmingzhou, it is the time to make great achievements. Why do you feel sorry for yourself here? ”

Lian Zining and others, although they are too pedantic, but if they are put it another way, they can also be called upright. In history, most of these people were Zheng ministers who voluntarily went to death with Emperor Jianwen, and such courtiers were loyal enough to ensure that if they were allowed to rule Fengming Prefecture, they could also ensure the imperial court's control over Fengming Continent, thousands of miles away.

On the contrary, those who are on the side of the maritime faction because of the trend of interests should not be too trusted. If they are allowed to manage Fengming Prefecture, the sky is high and the emperor is far away, and I don't know what will happen.

If Feng Mingzhou wants to open up again, what he needs most is a loyal and credible minister who can control one side. Zhu Su actually has high hopes for Lian Zining and others, so today, Zhu Su will deliberately say good words and comfort him.

Lian Zining was quite surprised to see Zhu Su coming over to comfort them. But he also felt that this Fifth Highness still had the heart to serve the country, and maybe he could still persuade one or two, so he bowed his hand to Zhu Su and said: "It's not that the minister is unwilling to work for me, it's just that for thousands of years, I have never seen such a situation." ”

"I don't know what the benefits of maritime affairs are for the time being, but for now, opening up the borders and swallowing up other countries has made me impetuous. Today's Ming Dynasty, everyone likes to talk about profits, everyone wants to go to sea for gold, and no one is willing to be down-to-earth, male farmer and female weaving, self-sufficient. It can be said that the world is declining, and people's hearts are not ancient......"

"What is the trend of the world? Master Lian saw that people's hearts were impetuous, but in the eyes of this king, what he saw was that the lives of the people of my Ming Dynasty were improving day by day, and they were getting more and more rich in food and clothing. Zhu Su said. Men plough and women weave, it is beautiful. But have you ever thought about how difficult those families who are men and women weave every day are living? ”

"Morningside is desolate, Dai Yue and Lotus hoe return, these two lines of poetry sound poetic, but they live like this day after day, year after year, and they have never broken off. However, all they can get for their hard work is to satisfy their stomachs. Why do I, the Chinese people, only deserve to be hungry after working all my life? Not to mention the subsistence method of cultivating the land and weaving cloth, which is already extremely fragile. ”

"This king will not talk about all kinds of man-made disasters, but will say that natural disasters, once the heavens are not beautiful, the harvest of the farms fails, and the farmers and people have no food to eat, they will be desperate immediately! When the time comes, does Master Lian want them to sell their land for first-class people, or do they want them to change their children and eat? ”

"There is no need for natural disasters, just a sickness, a missed spring ploughing, can make a simple family fall into the abyss in an instant...... Master Lian, how innocent are the Chinese people? They are so industrious, why should they deserve to work hard and suffer for a lifetime for the sake of you and me, who are meat eaters, to be 'down-to-earth' and 'self-sufficient'? ”

"They want to venture out to sea, but they just want to make a way for their families, or even even for future generations, to have to fight for their lives without such hard work...... Why do I reprimand the people when they are seeking other better ways to live and a better life, and reprimand them with the sentence 'The world is declining, and the people's hearts are not ancient'? ”

Lian Zining's face was already pale, and he craned his neck as if he wanted to argue, but he couldn't say a word for a long time. After a long time, he sighed: "Even so, it is too hasty after all...... His Royal Highness is still young, and the Ming Dynasty is also thriving, why not wait for my Ming people to recuperate, and after a few years, the population of the country is abundant, and then send people to the sea......"

"The former Yuan has been raging for a hundred years, and the vitality of the land of China has not recovered. At this time, I was indeed in a hurry to go to sea. Zhu Su nodded, "But I can't wait, I can't wait for the rich resources in the land of Fengming Continent, what if they are occupied by others?" Besides, of course, I, Daming, can recuperate for decades or even a hundred years first, but at that time, Master Lian, do you think that the maritime industry will still be implemented? ”

"My father is wise and martial, and he is the founder of the country, and he has no taboos in his actions, and he can govern as he pleases. However, if the father leaves the maritime affairs to the kings of later generations, and the later kings want to open up the maritime affairs, the ill-intentioned people can refuse it on the grounds that 'the law of the ancestors cannot be abolished'. ”

"Let's put it this way, whether the sea is successful or not, not in the king, but in the court or not. When his father was there, even if there was a charm, his old man could suppress it with one hand, and the sea was also unimpeded. ”

Lian Zining smiled bitterly when he heard this, just like that, isn't he also the "ghostly spirit" in Zhu Su's mouth?

But now that success or failure has been decided, looking back, it is true that His Majesty did not take these conservatives seriously. They are few conservatives and have little influence in the DPRK. Even if it is influential, how is it compared to the Huaixi School and the Qing School?

His Majesty wants to do things now, even if the Manchu Dynasty is blocked, he has the courage to change all the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty.

Zhu Su didn't see the bitterness in Lian Zining's expression, and only continued: "This eldest brother is also eloquent, but no matter what, he is definitely inferior to my father. If it is said that the father is 10% sure of the sea, if he changes the eldest brother, at most only 70% is left. ”

"Taisun Xiong is young and intelligent, and he will be a British lord in the future. But when he implements maritime affairs, he can only get 50% of the success. Next, the next generation will decrease, and after three generations, there will be fewer successes and more failures, not to mention that if there is a faint monarch in the future, in case of a missed opportunity......"

"Therefore, the implementation of maritime affairs must not be delayed. Although there are one or two disadvantages to the implementation of maritime affairs at this time, how can there be any reason to waste food because of choking? ”
