Sincerity Bofu, in the study.

"Sealing the vassal king overseas? How dare you think about it? Liu Ji was surprised: "Shen Sheng died inside, and Chong'er was born outside?" ”

"Just ask you how this idea is?" The sixth asked Lao Liu proudly: "How is it, do you have a feeling of sudden enlightenment?" ”

"Hmm." Liu Ji twisted his beard and slowly bowed his head.

Previously, the master and apprentice had discussed whether it was too much for the emperor to divide the vassal kings. The answer is indeed too much. Boss Zhu is like an old farmer dividing his family, except for the prince, each son shares a large piece of family property.

As a result, Shanxi, Shaanxi, Beiping, Huguang, Jiangsu, Zhejiang, and Shandong, the core territories of these empires, were all divided into kings......

And there are many princes, who haven't had time to be canonized.

"The emperor is fierce and has many heirs, according to the current canonization method, I am afraid that in two generations, the emperor will only have a little place left in Gyeonggi." Liu Bowen said:

"The power given to the vassal king is too great, and the salary is too high, and it is inevitable that the feudal lord will be cut in the future."

"For us vassal kings, how many pairs of eyes do we have to be stared at in the country, and what are we doing are restrained, and we are not allowed to spread it." Zhu Zhen nodded and said, "So I think that sealing overseas is a way out." No matter how bad the overseas conditions are, no matter how unfamiliar you are, being able to have the final say on your own is more important than anything else! ”

"Can your brothers be willing?" Liu Bowen asked.

"At least my brothers, they must be unwanted!" Zhu Zhen was very sure.

"Hmm." Liu Bowen nodded in agreement and said, "Your brothers are indeed not depressed for a long time. ”

"As long as the brothers take the lead, the younger brothers can only do it." Zhu Zhen smiled happily, because when he thought that when Lao Qi was sent to Java, it was estimated that his snot was so beautiful that his nose was bubbling.

Anyway, not letting this perverted scourge harm Shandong villagers is definitely a great achievement.

And the fourth brother went overseas, so there shouldn't be any hardship, right?

What is a historical contribution? This is called historical contribution!

finally found such a thing worth doing, which made the sixth child, who had always been very confused, twist his ass happily.

"It's awkward, it's ugly." Liu Bowen poured a basin of cold water on him and said: "If you can divide the vassal king overseas, it will indeed be beneficial and harmless." But here's the thing – you've got to have somewhere to seal it! Even if it's Goryeo, it's not so easy for you to seal the past! ”

"That's right, but it's a matter of people." Zhu Zhen was still full of confidence and said: "No matter what, it's much better than the father and son being suspicious and the brothers turning against each other in the future, right?" I think at least my brothers are willing to go out and open up a kingdom of their own, rather than being trapped in the country for the rest of their lives! ”

For example, with the ability of the fourth brother, it would be a pity not to let go out to expand the territory in the future, and just play hide and seek with the Mongols in the north.

"Okay......" Liu Bowen suddenly realized from Zhu Zhen's body that the real king must be willing to choose a road full of thorns and infinite possibilities to start a business, and he is not willing to live the kind of life in drunken dreams and death, and see the end at a glance.

But he still thought it was too incredible, so he asked Lao Liudao: "Is there really so many places to seal?" ”

"If you don't believe it, let's count it." Zhu Zhen said, skillfully picking out the world map he had drawn for Lao Liu from the bookshelf.

He first drew a diagonal line on it: "This is the approximate location of the 400 millimeter isoprecipitation line, which is to the north, not suitable for farming, but only for nomadic herding." ”

Liu Bowen looked at that line, which was probably the actual control line of Daming and Beiyuan at the moment.

"If my brothers are sealed to the north of this line, they will inevitably become brutalized after a few generations, and they will inevitably become border troubles at that time." Zhu Zhen first ruled out a large area in the north and said: "We can't pit people, let alone pit the Central Plains, so we only divide it in the south of this line, outside of China!" ”

"Hmm." Liu Bowen nodded, looked at the map, and listened to him continue.

"Then from north to south, there are places that can be divided - Goryeo, Japan, Ryukyu, and the small Ryukyu that has belonged to us since ancient times, as well as Luzon, Annam, Champong, Chenla, Java, Malacca, Siam, Burma, ......" Zhu Zhen said: "You don't have to go too far, just my Chinese cultural circle, there are two vast lands as big as the Ming Dynasty, which can be divided into feudal states!" ”

"These places are all suitable for farming?" Liu Bowen asked movingly.

"All suitable! And from Xiaoryukyu to the south, rice can be harvested three times a year! Zhu Zhen said in a deep voice: "This is only the land within our traditional Chinese sphere of influence. If you look farther, there are also the South Asian subcontinent, Africa, South America, North America, Oceania - the world is really big, the Ming Dynasty is only a corner of the East, only one-tenth of the land conquered by Meng Yuan.

"If we are content with the vanity of the Celestial Empire, stop our pioneering efforts, and regard the lands outside China as barbaric, what difference will we have from the Koreans? It's the same as sitting in a well and watching the sky! It's just sitting in a bigger well! ”

"......" Liu Bowen opened his mouth and stammered for a long time before he smiled bitterly: "You went out here and came up with such a shocking strategy?" ”

"Yes, indeed." Zhu Zhen said proudly: "Amazing, right?" ”

"Awesome is awesome. But have you thought about it? Now that the world is decided, it is time to recuperate, and if you follow your set, the entire national policy will change. Liu Bowen sighed and said, "Your father will definitely not agree." ”

"I know that he won't agree now, because the Northern Yuan has not been wiped out, and Yunnan has not been recovered, so it is impossible to use troops outside." Zhu Zhen said quietly:

"But what about after the elimination of the Northern Yuan and the recovery of Yunnan? Millions of proud soldiers who have nothing to fight will become the biggest threat to the country. It is the birds that hide the bow, the rabbits that die and the dogs cook, and the old brothers kill each other; Or continue to expand the territory and give the soldiers the opportunity to make contributions? This is not difficult to choose for the father, right? ”

"It's not hard to choose." Liu Bowen shook his head slowly and said, "But even if it is a giant Tang, it will be dragged down by the reckless force." ”

"Yes, no matter when, you have to make economic accounts." Zhu Zhen nodded and said, "Only a war where the benefits outweigh the losses can be fought." Otherwise, it would be a disservice to the country. ”

"If you know, it's good." Liu Bowen paused, but still said softly: "Moreover, your father is also very clear about this. That's why he had to send sailors on an expedition to Japan, so I could persuade him. ”

"......" Zhu Zhen realized that even the master did not support his 'great plan'.

"I know!" But he was not discouraged, and then he said in a loud voice: "So before that, we must first open the trade routes connecting these places!" ”

His Royal Highness the King of Chu made a long route on the map, and said with a stubborn face:

"When the maritime trade flourishes, you and your father will know that I am not whimsical!"

P.S. Go out for a dinner with your peers and write again when you come back.
