Chapter 269: Changes in Tributary Trade
Jiajing saw that Gao Gong and Zhang Juzheng still had some doubts about this, and then withdrew his gaze and cut the railway.
"No, not this time, from now on, I will no longer conduct tributary trade!"
"Everything is going according to normal trade, I can't continue like this, in order to maintain that worthless dignity, pay a lot!"
"In the end, this part has to be counted on the heads of the people in the end."
After Jiajing finished speaking, he swept his gaze from everyone present one by one.
"But Your Majesty, if you say this, it will damage the face of my Heavenly Empire, and I am afraid that it will ...... at that time."
Seeing this, Xu Jie, who was on the side, immediately plucked up his courage and admonished Jiajing.
Before Xu Jie's words were finished, he was coldly interrupted by Jiajing.
"What face, face is earned by oneself, not by one's favor, not to mention, barbarians are afraid of power but not virtue!"
"The Chinese people, the foundation of the world, the people of the four provinces, are like branches and leaves, disturbing their roots with thick branches and leaves, and seeking long-term peace, since ancient times, there is no more."
"Say, what are your intentions?"
Jiajing asked after sweeping his gaze away from the officials present one by one.
In the face of the emperor's remarks, everyone present did not dare to refute, and all knelt on the ground, their bodies trembling uncontrollably because they were too panicked.
Jiajing seemed to be very satisfied with the reactions of the many ministers present, paused, and then added.
"Besides, I'll give you one more word."
"Truth is always within the range of a cannon!"
And at this moment, the people who were kneeling on the ground before also realized something after hearing the words that the emperor had just added.
"Truth, is it only within the range of a cannon?"
When Zhang Juzheng heard the emperor's words, he fell into deep thought.
After a long time, I saw him slowly raise his head, as if he had figured out something, his eyes flashed with an inexplicable light, and he bowed again in the direction where Jiajing was.
"Minister, Zhang Juzheng thanks Your Majesty for your teachings, Weichen has been taught!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
After Zhang Juzheng, the remaining members of the cabinet also spoke in unison.
"Well, get up!"
Jiajing nodded, and then motioned for everyone to get up from the ground.
After everyone sat back in their seats, Jiajing paused for a moment before continuing.
"Therefore, I intend to reform the original tributary trade!"
"Transform the original tributary trade into normal trade."
When Jiajing said this, he immediately turned his gaze to the high arch and reminded.
"Didn't you sell thirty sea permits before?"
"Let's start with them!"
Gao Gong saw that the emperor suddenly mentioned the thirty sea vouchers sold by the Maritime Trade Division before, and he already had some guesses in his heart, and immediately responded.
"Yes, Your Majesty's Weichen will definitely order this matter and let this group of people work for my Daming!"
Jiajing saw that Gao Gong understood what he meant so quickly, nodded and responded.
"Well, that's good."
"If they don't want to, you know what to do, right?"
After Jiajing finished speaking, he took his eyes off the high arch and said slowly.
Seeing this, Gao Gong's expression was abrupt, and he immediately responded.
"Your Majesty, don't worry, Weichen knows what to do!"
"Well, in that case, I'm relieved."
Seeing this, Jiajing nodded, and then instructed the Guozi on the side to take a pen and paper for himself.
After a while, the pen and paper arrived, and Jiajing spread out the pen and paper, and drew a simple map of the world with the memory in his mind.
After the ink on it dried, Jiajing immediately sent someone to fix it on a wooden board, and took advantage of the situation to pick up the ring ruler, point to the map, and said slowly.
"Look, this is my Daming!"
Everyone present was shocked by the map drawn by the emperor himself, and they were speechless for a while.
"Weichen dares to ask Your Majesty, is this map also recorded in the book called Science?"
I saw Yan Song trembling and getting up from his seat, looking at the map hanging on the wooden board, and asked.
Faced with Yan Song's inquiry, Jiajing just nodded and did not deny it.
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for solving Weichen's doubts."
Seeing that he had received the answer he wanted, Yan Song immediately sat down in his seat, his gaze fell on the place pointed by the emperor's ring ruler before, and said to himself silently.
"It turns out that this is my Da Ming!"
I saw Jiajing cough lightly twice, and the attention of everyone present was redrawn to himself.
"Okay, let's continue, you see, this is my Daming!"
"Next to Japan and here is Tianzhu."
"Then Your Majesty, where is this?"
At this moment, I saw a prisoner raise his hand, point to the vast land above Daming, and ask.
Seeing this, Jiajing immediately pointed the ring ruler to the place where the prisoner had asked and explained to him.
"This is a place where the Rakshasa people gather, and the climate is cold and not suitable for living!"
"Therefore, the Rakshasas usually gather in this area, and there are basically not many people here."
While explaining to him, Jiajing also moved the ring ruler on this hand-drawn world map.
"And this is Cochin, the climate here is hot, rich in rice, if I can take it down, I will no longer have to worry about food!"
"And here, this is where the Hongyi people gather, I call it Europa, and there are many countries here, like France, England, ......"
Time passed slowly, and when Jiajing came back to his senses, time had passed for an unknown amount of time, and the sun was already shining outside.
"Alright, I'll get here for the time being."
"When I have free time another day, I will come to Guozijian to teach again!"
I saw Jiajing put down the ring ruler in his hand, turned his gaze to the people present, and said slowly.
It was only then that everyone present reacted violently, and at the same time realized that time had passed so quickly.
And through the emperor's teaching, they also have a deeper understanding of countries outside the Ming Dynasty!
Every time Jiajing moves the ring ruler to a new place on the map, it will be interspersed with the country's customs and customs.
"Yes, Your Majesty, Weichen obeys."
"Waiting for Your Majesty!"
Soon, under the leadership of Yan Song, everyone present knelt down and saluted.
"Hmm."
Jiajing was quite indifferent to this, and after responding, he left the lecture room directly, and Lu Fang, who had been standing on the side for a long time, followed the emperor's footsteps step by step, his face was full of concern.
After Jiajing left, in the room, whether it was the students of Guozijian or the group of officials who came to observe, at this moment, they were still immersed in the customs and customs of various countries that Jiajing had told before, and they couldn't extricate themselves.
"I really didn't expect that this group of Hongyi people named Spain would have such a powerful sailor and be able to occupy so much territory!"
"It is really a miracle that the two countries of England and France can continue to fight a war for a hundred years."
"In Nanyang, there is such an important transportation hub, if this place belongs to my Daming, it would be good!"
When Jiajing left, he did not take the hand-drawn map of the world with him, but left it in the Guozijian.
"Come, copy a copy of the map drawn by Your Majesty just now, and send it to the cabinet."
I saw Yan Song summon his subordinates and commanded.
"Yes, Ge Lao!"
