After Li Xian's death, Yao Kui was promoted to the position of first assistant.

But Yao Kui's health has not been good recently, Wang Hong was promoted to second assistant, followed by Wang Fu, Lin Cong, Ye Sheng, Zhu Ying, Yue Zheng, Lu Yuan, and Peng Shi.

Nine people formed a cabinet, and since the thirteenth year of Jingtai, the number of cabinet ministers has been increasing, because the territory has expanded, the center is too busy, and the number of cabinet ministers must be increased.

In the twenty-sixth year of Jingtai, Sun Yuanzhen was bedridden, and Han Yong served as the secretary of the military department.

Zhu Qiyu was quite depressed, recently the courtiers were complaining of illness, Yu Shiyue was sick, and before he died, he took the emperor's hand and warned him not to expand the territory anymore, and it was extremely difficult to manage the existing territory.

The old minister is over, but the young Zhuang faction can't bear this burden.

Daming is different from before, Daming needs openers and conservatives, and at the same time exert force to maintain the balance of the government and government.

After the opening of the territory, the territory is infinitely vast, and the affairs of the DPRK and China have tripled as busy, especially the border provinces, when will there be nothing to do?

This needs to be discussed by several old ministers and properly resolved.

Local matters may seem small, but if they are not handled properly, they will trigger a series of reactions that will force the center to stop new projects.

Let Zhu Qiyu come to criticize the sparseness, it is estimated that the place would have been killed into a river of blood.

But in the past few years of Li Xian and Nianfu's reign, they have handled local trivial matters in an orderly manner and never caused trouble to the center, which is their ability.

The big things are easy to deal with, and the small things are the hardest.

These trivial things are really a headache.

The funerals of Li Xian, Nian Fu, Xu Hui, Yu Shiyue, Wang Lai, Luo Qi, Lian Zhong and others were extremely mournful, and Zhu Qiyu ordered the local government to repair temples for meritorious ministers, and moved a branch of the palace to guard the temple for them.

All the emperors who can be rewarded have been given, and their children and grandchildren have been properly settled, which is for the living, and follow the emperor to ensure that you will be rich and prosperous for all generations.

"Transferred to the post of secretary of the Criminal Department and participated in cabinet affairs."

This is a favor to Xiang Zhong.

It shows that the emperor understands his careful thinking.

Xiang Zhong entered the palace to thank him, crying profusely, he knew very well that if it weren't for Li Xian and Nian Fu's death, the emperor would not let him go lightly.

Suddenly so many important ministers died, and the center couldn't make a big move, so he lived.

"Prince, what do you think of Xiang Zhong?" When Xiang Zhong left, Zhu Qiyu asked Zhu Jianqi.

"Back to my father, my son thinks that this person can no longer be allowed to lead the troops."

Zhu Jianqi had a very bad impression of Xiang Zhong, and he went to pick up Xiang Zhong in person, but Xiang Zhong did not give him enough respect, which was contempt for the monarch.

"Then do you think that if there is another war, who will be able to lead the troops?" Zhu Qiyu asked.

"Erchen thinks that Han Yong can."

Compared with Xiang Zhong, Zhu Jianqi had a very good impression of Han Yong, because Han Yong treated him as a prince, and Xiang Zhong treated him equally.

Zhu Qiyu sneered: "What do you think Han Yong is a good thing?" His temper comes up, he can be angry, you give him 100,000 troops, he dares to levy another 20,000 privately, stubborn temper comes up, don't talk about me, Yu Qian can't pull it back. ”

Zhu Jianqi was stunned, how dare Han Yong do this?

"Let's just say this time, I asked him to calm down, first to negotiate first, what did he Han Yong do?"

"Wu Sizhen refused to change the land and return to the stream, Han Yong led his troops to kill it, how many cities were slaughtered, do you know?"

Zhu Qiyu sneered: "Do you think I asked him to slaughter?" This is Han Yong, easy to use, but disobedient. ”

Zhu Jianqi wriggled his lips: "Father, that Han Yong is also a chaotic minister and thief!" ”

"If you take this view, then everyone is a rebel and a thief."

"Do you know what Li Xian, who just died, did in the beginning?"

"Who are Xu Hui, Luo Qi, and Xu Bin that I am sad for?"

Zhu Qiyu sneered: "The Yu Qian you respect the most, is it harmless to humans and animals like you watch?" ”

"Don't look with your eyes, they can sometimes deceive."

"What loyalist? What rebellious thieves? It's all bullshit, remember, you have absolute authority, everyone is a loyal minister, if you don't, you are all a rebel and a thief. ”

"Don't look at people, look at what they do, whether it is beneficial to you and Daming, yes, they are loyal ministers, if not, they should be killed!"

Zhu Qiyu continued to pick up the song, and suddenly raised his head: "Everything in the world is in the song, if you don't look at it, you won't know anything." ”

Zhu Jianqi has never learned that people are sinister, because the harem environment is very peaceful, and his younger brothers have not grabbed the crown prince with him, and they have not put absolute pressure on him, so he is just a greenhouse flower and likes to think about things for the better.

At the same time, with the inevitable habit of being a gentleman, he does things according to his heart, because Xiang Zhong does not absolutely respect him, he hates Xiang Zhong; Han Yong pretended to be fake and gave him three points of thin noodles, and he liked Han Yong to death.

Looking at Nianfu's death again, he didn't have much sadness.

Because these old ministers have seen his most unbearable side, he hopes that these old ministers will die soon, so that he can be the holy crown prince.

Zhu Qiyu saw it in his eyes and did not break it.

He didn't teach the prince too extremely, because when the prince succeeded to the throne, the Ming Dynasty would enter a period of peaceful development, and he would draw an end to the Ming territory at the end of his life, and then enter the development period.

Therefore, a benevolent successor is more suitable for the future Ming Dynasty, from him onwards, the Ming Dynasty does not need a powerful monarch, it is enough to inherit the family business and be a master of success.

As for whether his temperament is cold or not, he can't see it after he dies, so let him be.

"Look at this."

Feng Xiao passed on from generation to generation, the prince looked at it first, and then went to see it in turn.

Zhu Jianqi frowned slightly: "This Uszyun Lama is too greedy, right?" Just attached, asking for the construction of a hundred lama temples? He promised not to list Huangjiao as a state religion, but his actual actions were very honest. ”

"Dick, what do you think?" Zhu Qiyu looked at Zhu Jiansong.

"Erchen thinks he can agree."

Zhu Jiansong said with a smile: "Wu Sizhen has just been attached, and Daming wants to give them a sense of belonging, which is also a promise, and they are willing to let go of the area, which is already the greatest sincerity." ”

"If the lama treats him with sincerity, we will naturally treat him with sincerity."

"Give them some sweetness."

Zhu Qiyu looked at the fourth child, and the fourth child agreed with the second child's words.

"The second child is right, you have to be sincere."

Zhu Qiyu asked with a smile: "But have you thought about it, this time the center promised a hundred, will it ask for a thousand next year?" ”

"Besides, if I build a lama temple, should I build a mosque? Should a Taoist temple be built? Should a Buddhist temple be built? And the church, do you need to build it? ”

Zhu Jiansong frowned: "But if you don't agree, Wu Sizhen has just been attached, it is estimated that there will be a recurrence, and the center has already decided to build the Zhonghua River, and the first batch of survey teams will go up next year, will they make a trip?" ”

"Er, you're thinking too complicated."

"Dealing with the government is not as complicated as you think."

Zhu Qiyu said with a smile: "It doesn't matter whether the policy set by the center is good or not, and no one opposes it, whether it is good or not, the center itself has the final say." ”

"Boast well, that's an eternal event, who will refute it? If the people have opinions, they have to endure them. ”

"I'll tell you another secret, Wu Sizhen didn't really belong to him, but was scared by Han Yong."

"What you see is fake."

Zhu Qiyu made a look and asked Feng Xiao to send the surveillance information of the factory guard.

"Do you really think those lamas are saints? Are you willing to give away thousands of miles of rivers and mountains? ”

"That's a kill!"

"Why did the border officers complain about the hardships as soon as Han Yong left?"

"Why did someone in the center advise Han Yong to transfer Han Yong back as soon as he left?"

"Why did the lama of Wu Sizhen dare to bargain with the center as soon as Han Yong left?"

Zhu Qiyu stood up: "Because Han Yong killed them too hard, he was afraid to kill them." ”

"So they changed their other paths, bribed Sun Yuanzhen, and helped them speak, Sun Yuanzhen was dying, but he didn't want to lose his face."

The four brothers looked at their father in amazement.

"Father, isn't Sun Yuanzhen your confidant? He has worked hard in the military department all these years, and his son Sun Kefa has been knighted, how can this be? "Zhu Jianyu is a little stupid.

"Yes, father, Sun Yuanzhen lingers on the sickbed, and his sons are worried about you, how can he accept the lama's money and do bad things for the Ming Dynasty?" Zhu Jianyu felt that his worldview had been impacted.

Zhu Qiyu stopped, turned to look at them, and pointed to his temples: "Use your brain." ”

"This is the way my father employs people? Only use talent, not virtue? Zhu Jianqi was very shocked, it turned out that these old ministers were also flies and dogs, and they had bad stomachs.

Being old and not dying is a thief, how can there be anything to deal with?

You see that humans and animals are harmless, and that's because they've been tamed.

"That's right."

"I never use people's morality, nor do I need people's loyalty, I only look at people's talents."

"Even if it's Cao Cao and Wang Mang, in my hands, I dare to use it!"

Zhu Qiyu said: "So, Sun Yuanzhen accepted the money and helped them speak, but I didn't know it, because I didn't want to ruin the relationship between the monarch and the minister for thirty years because of this little thing." ”

"Fourth, you want to ask, why do you want to write a falsetto?"

"Don't say anything that is not conducive to unity."

"Do you know how many people disappear in Borneo a year?"

"I just issued an order to kill Luzon, and in other places, have you seen my order? But when you go to these new places, you will find that there are people everywhere. ”

"What about the natives? Guess where it went? ”

"Don't say some things, after you become emperors, the monarchy is not heavy, don't be open-mouthed like me, say less and do more, or don't do it, and do it."

Zhu Qiyu said again: "And Wu Sizhen is different, the Zhonghua River project is launched, and slaves alone cannot adapt to the plateau climate, and I need local people to work for me." ”

"So, there are some things that can't be said."

"You see that Han Yong is harmless to humans and animals, but if you really want to go to Wu Si Zhen and Duo Si, you will know that Han Yong is a demon."

"But does that affect my use of him?"

"Even Han Yong's stubborn temper, he has never been a fart to the center's words, he can beat him as much as he wants, have I ever reprimanded him?"

"As long as he can win the war, he is right, even if I am unhappy, I have to endure it."

Zhu Qiyu said with a smile: "Let you read more, not let you do what is in the book, thousands of years of books, you will be a fool if you do it." ”

"And to understand the truth in the book, through the past to metaphor the present, the truth of life has remained unchanged from ancient times to the present, the truth of life is also unchanged, and the most important thing is to absorb the wisdom in the book."

"Let's just say that I have been in the twenty-sixth year of the Imperial Pole, you ask Feng Xiao, have I not read for a moment?"

"Only when you read more and know more than your courtiers can you suppress them and make them have to die for you."

"This is the way of the Emperor."

How can there be so many tricks, it is the same as training dogs, that is, to see who is stronger, people can overturn the dog, suppress the dog, and the dog will treat you as the master, if not, you are the shovel officer.

"Now you know how powerful King Chu is, right?"

"I have always ignored the King of Chu, he only went out of the pavilion to study at the age of twelve, and the master was only randomly selected, and he didn't care about teaching."

"But how did he control Gordon in Africa?"

"Guo Deng's old boy stupidly worked hard for his nephew, but he didn't know that his nephew didn't treat him as an uncle at all, but treated him as a scalper."

"I can't stand Guo Deng's stupidity, and he is willing to work for others, this is the way of His Majesty."

Zhu Qiyu said with a smile: "When the King of Chu was in Beijing, I asked you to study hard with him. ”

"Now I understand why I sent him to North Africa, right? He is the only one of these sons who can withstand the attacks of the countries of Europa and establish a state in North Africa. ”

After Guo Deng landed in Somalia, he conquered the locals, planted food, and continued to transport people upwards.

Last winter, Zhu Jianshen left first, and now there are 220,000 troops who have landed in Somalia, and they are still transporting people and grain in the future.

But it didn't go well, mainly because of the disease, and many people died of illness.

Zhu Jianyu was a little unconvinced: "Father, the son can also block Europa for Daming!" ”

"In a few years, you will see the ability of King Chu."

Zhu Qiyu was too lazy to pout, it was a piece of raw land, and now 220,000 people have been moved, Zhu Jianshen has never been in charge of the army, but he can sort out these people in a foreign country, isn't this a skill?

Zhu Qiyu asked himself if he could do it.

People's hearts are difficult to control, and after leaving the Ming Dynasty, who doesn't want to be the king and hegemon?

Why is your surname Zhu in the world?

But Zhu Jianshen can control Guo Deng and the 220,000 army, what does it mean? It shows that Zhu Jianshen is handsome!

He has been in Beijing for more than 30 years and has never shown it.

The question is who did he learn from?

Could it be an atavism? Like Taizu, Taizong?

"Father, how do you approve the petition of Wu Sizhen?" The prince asked.

"Batch ten, build one in major cities, and then transfer 10,000 lamas from Wusizhen, and send 2,000 Buddhist soldiers to be used."

When it comes to Buddhist soldiers, Zhu Qiyu is very satisfied: "This Buddhist soldier is really powerful, more powerful than Buddhist warrior monks, they are not taboo in meat and vegetarian, and it is a good hand to pick up a knife and cut people, and the warrior monks are quite taboo, but they all have to be used." ”

"Father is smoking?" The prince asked.

"It's a regular operation, even if I don't say it, the military department will add this article."

Zhu Qiyu explained: "Draw Ding, not only consume, but also give corresponding rewards, look at the army, how many people in Miao Yiyao Zhuangmeng have been knighted?" ”

"This is a benefit, when you come out to fight, you have to give benefits to others, treat others as a family, good benefits, people can treat us as a family."

"Let Wu Si Zhenjin offer a beauty and be your side concubine."

Zhu Qiyu sold the prince after changing hands.

"Daddy, don't you want my son?"

Of course, Zhu Jianqi knows the beauties in the district, there is one in the palace, and she is pregnant, and she doesn't know how his father spoke.

"Ugly? You have to change your aesthetics, be the emperor of the Celestial Empire, and accept the beauties of all countries into the harem, this is the fun of being an emperor. ”

Zhu Qiyu sneered: "Fourth, you are so restless, I will pick a Mongolian girl for you, let her wield a horsewhip and whip you." ”

The fourth child, who was eating melons, suddenly shook his head with his eyes suddenly: "I don't want it, Dad." ”

Who can stand the shepherdess who turns the whip one day? If he gets angry, he will smoke him, and when the time comes, his father will have fun, and maybe he will tell his daughter-in-law to smoke hard.

Just thinking about it makes me shudder.

"And who do you want?" Zhu Qiyu asked him.

"Uyghur." The old four branches.

This aesthetic is absolutely amazing.

Zhu Qiyu touched his chin: "Let Mongolia and the Western Regions each offer one, and both will be concubines for the fourth child." ”

In order to eliminate the differences between ethnic groups, Zhu Qiyu is also crazy.

In his harem, there are beauties of all ethnic groups, and under hard work, they are all pregnant, and when the prince becomes an adult, let them go back to their hometown for a turn, so that all ethnic groups can take a look, the emperor said that Huaxia is a family, and there is no deception.

The prince should do the same.

In the future, beauties from all regions will offer one, saving favoritism.

But the emperor is difficult, and his waist is tired.

"Dad, my son wants the Miao." The prince really can't stand those smelly girls.

"You don't have a choice."

Zhu Qiyu said: "Remember, only if the royal family keeps marrying them, the people will regard them as compatriots." ”

"And your aesthetics have to be changed, beauties of all ethnic groups have different customs, you have to know how to appreciate beauty, everyone has a beautiful place, you have to learn to appreciate, if you only stare at a person's ugly place, life can't pass?"

"Your mother, don't you have any shortcomings?"

The four brothers immediately lowered their heads, if these words reached the ears of their mothers, they would definitely be given a hard beating.

"The emperor is just a day? People live a life, and they live a life of joy in suffering. ”

Zhu Qiyu said lightly: "If the emperor is greedy for pleasure, then the world will not be well managed, how can a house be swept if it is not swept?" ”

That night, Empress Tang, Concubine Tan, and Concubine Hu came in a rage.

"Where did the concubine make Your Majesty miserable?"

Empress Tang said in a strange manner: "Do the concubines dare to let you suffer a little?" You are the emperor, and your concubine is just an old woman, old and decrepit. ”

"Queen, why are you complaining about this, the emperor is bitter in his heart, he thinks that our old witches are in the way, so he dies as soon as possible to make way for the young ones."

Concubine Tan said compassionately: "How can we have a little girl with a sweet mouth? It will make His Majesty happy, and it will not make His Majesty feel bitter. ”

"The concubine has long said that she will not enter the palace, and she will serve you in the palace for eighteen years, but she ended up with a bitter word, and she complained to the child."

Concubine Hu said strangely: "Since you feel bitter, you will give the concubine a white silk, and the concubine will go directly, why let you suffer!" ”

Zhu Qiyu's face was full of despair, these are menopausal attacks, right?

At every turn, he ran to the Heart Cultivation Hall to complain.

What can he say? The emperor is also a human being, and he has to live, they competed for favor back then, and almost collapsed the throne, doesn't he have to forget it now?

has a gloomy face, it is himself who suffers, and the harem is full of resentful women, and he is still the one who suffers.

"Look at your majesty's bitter gourd face, you still give your concubine a glass of wine, and let the concubine go." Empress Tang knelt on the ground.

Concubine Tan and Concubine Hu, working together for the first time, all knelt on the ground: "Give the concubine a cup too." ”

"I'm joking with my sons, are you serious?" Zhu Qiyu had a headache.

"Look at your bitter gourd face, and the concubine will know that you are real." Empress Tang pierced her lungs every sentence.

Zhu Qiyu squeezed out a smile.

"You're laughing worse than crying!" Tan Fei's main hit added fuel to the fire.

"Then I'm going to cry for you?"

"The concubines don't dare to let you cry, your tears are only available to the important ministers in the court, there used to be the queen mother in the palace, you are better, now the queen mother is gone, but no one supports the concubines."

Concubine Hu was even more ruthless: "Maybe one day, when I see that the concubine is bored, I will confine the concubine in the palace, and let the concubine look at the empty beams and floors for the rest of her life." ”

"I really want to cry." Zhu Qiyu collapsed, is this a coax?

"Don't cry, if your tears fall, the concubine will die!" Concubine Tan is cheering.

Zhu Qiyu came down from the soft collapse: "You guys are really inserted into my lungs!" What about the princes? Recruit them, let their mothers beat them, and they are all angry. ”

Empress Tang immediately exploded: "Why did you beat my son?" ”

"These boys are not of the same mind as me, I have always had zero tolerance for traitors, and I think I should be killed."

"Your Majesty, the concubine knows that she is wrong!" Empress Tang burst into tears.

The one who is most afraid is her, her son is the crown prince.

In case of making a fuss and making trouble for the crown prince, it will be a loss.

"Feng Xiao, go call!" Zhu Qiyu had to punish these girls.

Empress Tang howled and cried: "If you kill my son, kill me first!" You ruthless, just scare me with your son, I, I, I, I, I'm not alive! ”

The queen spilled.

"We give birth to children for you, spread out for the royal family, serve the king, serve the mother-in-law, everything is not bad, we are old and old, but we are disgusted by our husband, and our husband wants to force us to death! What's the point of being alive! ”

Concubine Tan and Concubine Hu also cried, you have magic, we have the Dafa of crying.

"Don't scream, don't scream, I'm wrong, won't I?"

Zhu Qiyu expressed deep helplessness: "You are all about to become grandmothers, why are you still like a child?" A little wind and grass, you have to make trouble with me, let me coax, okay, okay, I know it's wrong, you all get up. ”

"You have to make your concubine cry every time before you are willing, you are ruthless." Empress Tang was about to cry and ran out of breath.

"Cry a lot, it's good for the mood." Zhu Qiyu also loves to play.

I believe you're a ghost.

Zhu Qiyu pulled the three women up, and then lay down on the floor again: "Who has such a broken mouth?" Leaking the government? ”

The three girls' faces changed.

"Your Majesty's face changed so quickly, I just said that you were wrong, and I turned my head and complained about my son." Talking about the concubine's posture, she is about to cry.

"I don't ask."

You don't say, I have a way to know.

"This year's fifth, sixth, and seventh weddings can be done according to the usual practice."

The candidates have been decided, the fifth Zhu Jianhu will marry Han Yong's granddaughter, the sixth Zhu Jianluo will marry Zhu Ying's granddaughter, and the seventh Zhu Jianchao will marry Xiang Zhong's granddaughter.

After the wedding, you will also enter the temple of the heart to study.

Zhu Qiyu attaches great importance to the emperor's mental skills, and at the same time asks the prince to learn how to run the army, and now Han Yong and Xiang Zhong are in Beijing, they are the best teachers.

Spring came and summer, and it was the end of the twenty-sixth year of Jingtai.

The emperor inquired about the technology of the steam engine, but the closed cylinder could not be produced, which made the emperor anxious.

Morning in December.

"Zhuqing, I've been thinking lately, the development of Daming is too slow, should I recruit a group of foreign elites to enter Daming?"

There were Jews who entered the country before, and the emperor used various methods to forcibly expel two million, and the rest were willing to marry the Ming.

The main thing is that women are not allowed to take it away, they are forced to stay, and they are rationed to the Ming people.

It's all men who walk.

"Indian elite?"

Yao Kui sneered: "Those Indian elites, their minds are full of women, they have been in Daming for a few years, and they have not made any significant achievements?" ”

"How many have been executed in the past few years?"

"Your Majesty, the Ming people are the best in the world, where is there any foreign Yi who is more excellent than the Ming people?"

Those Indian elites are really not like that.

The key is that he didn't get good results, and he still sought political status every day, and even introduced Hinduism.

Last year, the central center carried out a graded assessment system for them, and those who failed in the assessment were all killed, regardless of the reason.

It is the elite, not the waste.

Zhu Qiyu waved his hand: "What I mean is that in terms of machinery and chemistry, it is really not as good as Europa." ”

"I want to attract a group of elites to come in, settle in Daming, and work for me."

"Europa has hundreds of years of technology accumulation, although Daming is trying his best to chase, but the speed is too slow."

"Just attract a group of talent."

Wang Hong opened his mouth and said: "How does Your Majesty know that what attracts you must be talents?" And not a liar? ”

The important ministers of the court and the central government all believed that technology was not as important as culture, and culture was not as important as blood.

The introduction of these people, in order to make them become Ming people, must be allowed to marry, and the marriage between the two countries will cause some mixed-race children.

There are many mixed-race children among the people, and public opinion is relatively large, and mixed-race children are more discriminatory.

The emperor recently accepted a mixed-race child, just to dispel public opinion, so that the people will regard these people as Ming people, and will never discriminate.

If you continue to attract talents, is it difficult to ensure that the Ming bloodline will not be confused?

The question is, since the twenty-fourth year of Jingtai, the Ming Dynasty has implemented a strict protection system, and when these newcomers come in, will they forget their home country?

Will they be spies? Steal the things of the Ming Dynasty and return to China?

Their child, is it Akito? Or are they countrymen?

"Have you realized that technological development has slowed down in recent years?"

"Shipbuilding, ordnance, machinery, clocks and watches, fertilizers, pesticides, and technologies involving all walks of life have all entered a bottleneck."

"This has something to do with the Ming Dynasty's implementation of the protection law, and the countries of Europa are also wary of the Ming Dynasty, refusing to sell books to the Ming Dynasty, but buying books from the Ottomans, as if they have been tampered with, are not quite right."

"And Europa's technology, we must admit that it is more advanced than ours, after all, they have hundreds of years of accumulation, and they are like the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, where there are many countries, and all countries are competing to study."

"The news from the King of Chu is that Britain has recovered from the Anglo-French war and is seeking to expand its African colonies, and France is also expanding its African colonies."

"Now the Ottomans are in the middle, once the Ottomans are defeated by the United States of the Ming Dynasty, the forces of Europa will cross the Ottomans and come to the Ming Dynasty."

"So, I'm in a hurry."

The courtiers thought carefully, and all the technologies of the Ming Dynasty have entered a bottleneck period.

If you want to solve the problem quickly, you have to bring in Europa talents to work for Daming.

"Your Majesty, the old minister thinks it's enough."

Wang Fu saluted: "Doing anything will encounter a bottleneck period, and if you encounter it, you will slowly overcome it, and the current technology is completely enough for Daming." ”

"If you don't overcome technical problems by yourself, you will be counting on the center for everything, counting on you to worry about everything."

"Then these factories will be shut down directly."

"Lao Chen thinks that if you introduce some Xiyi talents, these people's technical methods may not be the same as ours, and they may be overturned and restarted, so it is better to overcome them yourself."

"It is better to teach a man to fish than to teach him to fish."

Wang Fu's words were highly recognized by the important ministers.

"Prince, what do you think?" Zhu Qiyu groaned.

"Back to Your Majesty, Erchen thinks that Wang Ge Lao's words are reasonable, but there are also problems."

"It's true that the local government can't seek the center for everything, and the center can't manage it, and it won't manage it."

"But machinery is the priority of the imperial court."

"The king of Chu has taken control of the Somali region and established the kingdom of Chu, and now he is sharpening his knife against the Ottomans, and the Ottomans have gradually cut off trade with the Ming Dynasty."

"Losing the Ottoman transit point, Daming and Europa are equivalent to cutting off contact."

"In recent years, the center and the royal family have established many big brands, producing a large number of high-end orders every year, which cannot be eaten in China alone."

"As the machinery industry enters the bottleneck and labor costs increase, then a large number of factories will close down, and the citizens who are counting on the factory to eat will be unemployed and have no jobs."

"In these years, the Ming Dynasty has been peaceful because everyone has a job and everyone has food."

"But once the foreign trade order is lost, there will be a large number of unemployed people in the people, and there are nineteen cities in Daming, with a population of five million!"

"How terrible this number is, I won't talk about it in this palace, you all know it in your hearts."

"And if the factory wants to save itself, it is either to improve efficiency or expand market orders, which is almost impossible."

"Daming has a population of 570 million, and infants and young children account for more than 200 million, with great potential for the future, but now the adult consumer population is very small."

"And in the war with the Ottomans, the Ming Dynasty will only be left with a few markets in India, Timur and the Golden Horde, and these countries will not be able to eat so many orders."

"We can only consider a way to improve efficiency, we can only develop machinery, replace labor with machinery, reduce labor costs and production costs, and bring down the price, so that the industrial products in the factory can enter thousands of households and make the people afford to eat."

"Everyone, please think about it, Daming has a population of nearly 600 million, what a huge market, as long as the price is reduced, we can eat so many orders by ourselves."

"Although the profits have decreased, it has also kept jobs, and Daming will at least not be chaotic."

Zhu saw Qi and said a lot.

Zhu Qing nodded slightly, the prince has grown up, and he knows how to look at the problem from the perspective of the overall situation.

In fact, this is the first economic crisis of the Ming Dynasty, which has been open for 15 years and has encountered an economic crisis.

"Therefore, His Majesty proposed that to overcome technical barriers, we can't rely on ourselves, we have to introduce technical talents."

Zhu Jianqi said seriously: "So this point, this palace is supportive." ”

"Wang Ge Lao, what you said is better to teach people to fish than to teach people to fish, if you introduce technical talents, you must put them in state-owned enterprises, how can they be placed in private enterprises?"

"If private companies want to learn, they can only follow behind the butt of state-owned enterprises, racking their brains to poach people and steal teachers."

"During this period, we have expanded the consumer group, and at the same time learned new technologies, and when the people are flooded, state-owned enterprises can innovate new technologies, why not?"

"As for your worries about looks."

"You don't have to worry, young people nowadays are very receptive to new things, just like this palace, they don't think mixed-race children look ugly, but they think they are very good-looking."

Zhu Jianqi is pure nonsense, his mixed-race concubine has not been conceived until now.

The aesthetics of this era are goose egg face, fair skin, warm as jade, and the most important thing is character, followed by appearance.

I can't accept the aesthetics of later generations.

Wang Fu looked at the prince who was talking eloquently, with a smile on his face, he didn't teach the prince less.

Today's prince has really grown up.

"The prince's words have a point."

"However, Europa and Daming have almost cut off contact, how to attract talents to Daming?"

"Also, why do you want to come to Daming?"

Wang Fu asked him: "What advantages do we have to attract others?" Tens of thousands of miles across the ocean, drifting across the ocean to the Ming Dynasty, what is the picture? ”

"The countries of Europa don't know that the Ming Dynasty is powerful."

Zhu Jianqi said seriously: "As long as we fight a battle under Europa's nose, they will know that there is an extremely powerful Celestial Empire in the East, which is the world hegemon." ”

"People are all Muqiang, and when the time comes, there will naturally be talents who voluntarily enter the Ming Dynasty."

The prince is eighteen years old, and in the past two years, his knowledge and skills have improved by leaps and bounds, although he is not a ruler of the world, at least he is barely qualified.

The most important thing is that he can continue Zhu Qiyu's philosophy.

The courtiers looked at the prince with a look of satisfaction on their faces, and the prince they had taught with their own hands was already better than the blue.

Daming was handed over to him, and the future was bright.

"Wang Qing, what do you think of the prince's words?" Zhu Qiyu looked at Wang Fu.

"Back to Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the Prince's words are like a morning bell at dusk, which makes the old minister embarrassed." Wang Fu expressed his satisfaction.

"Wang Qing is too used to him, can you see this with your eyes?"

Zhu Qiyu said with a smile: "Hmph, the prince's words are just talk on paper and rhetoric, if you don't poke him, you are saving face for him." ”

Zhu Jianqi was stunned, what I said was so good, my father is still not satisfied?

"Please ask my father for advice." Zhu Jianqi was not convinced.

Zhu Qiyu liked him for being a vegetable and fun-loving, and said with a smile: "Everything you said is based on the premise that Daming won the battle in Europa." ”

"Xiang Zhong, you come and tell him."

"Can Daming win the Europa League?"

Xiang Zhong came out of class and saluted: "Back to Your Majesty, if you hand it over to Weichen to fight, Weichen is not sure." ”

"There are many reasons, but the root cause is that the distance is too far."

"The Ming Dynasty went to war across thousands of miles, and the other party was fighting at home, the difference is huge, and Europa is not all weak countries, if you want to fight, you have to fight strong, Weichen thinks that it is not sure."

Zhu Jianqi was not convinced: "Isn't there the support of King Chu behind it?" ”

"The king of Chu still needs the support of the Ming Dynasty, and the soldiers to fight a war must be combined with the terrain, weather, and situation to operate specifically."

Xiang Zhong said politely: "Weichen thinks it's no fun." ”

Xiang Zhong is a smart man.

Since the last time he tested the emperor, he began to draw boundaries with the crown prince, as if he was the emperor's lonely minister, and only the emperor could use him.

This is to reassure the emperor, he will definitely not unite with the crown prince and launch the Xuanwumen Rebellion.

Zhu Jianqi looked at Han Yong.

Han Yong coughed lightly: "Weichen also thinks it's no fun." ”

Han Yong is also very close to the crown prince, although he is a civil official, he is actually a military general, and the emperor trained him as a handsome.

He, Xiang Zhong and Wang Yue are the people who will succeed Yu Qian in the future.

"Hear me? Those who can fight in the DPRK and China tell you that there is no play. ”

"So everything you said is not true at all."

Zhu Qiyu said: "Prince, fighting a war is not taken for granted, especially a war across thousands of miles, it must not be decided with a pat on the head." ”

"Look at Wang Yue's pacification of Sanmi, what an easy war, ten years of preparation, three years of fighting, and so far there is no conclusion."

"This is a battle at the door of the house, three ways out, Wang Yue is in charge of the army, and he can't win quickly."

"What's more, thousands of miles away, fighting a war at someone's doorstep, there are too many variables in it."

The courtiers nodded in agreement, the emperor's best thing is that he is very clear about his positioning, and he rarely makes out-of-the-ordinary decisions.

"The most important thing for the Ming Dynasty now is to stabilize the kingdom of the King of Chu and let the King of Chu establish the country smoothly."

"The second is cooperation, we don't have a deep hatred with Europa, we bring in elites, serve the country, and talk about problems later."

"As for fighting, I advise you to stop thinking about it."

"The king of Chu must gain a complete foothold, and after defeating the Ottomans, he will consider other wars."

"The previous pivot was set at three years before the war could begin."

"Now it looks reckless, the most difficult thing in Africa is disease, I thought that when it landed in winter, our people would adapt to the climate."

"As a result, in the summer, it is still possible to get sick, especially malaria, and there is no solution at all."

"Da Ming moved 400,000 people, and 100,000 died!"

"They are all good men of the Ming Dynasty, and they are all heroes of the expansion of the territory, and a large area of death will occur when one illness occurs, and I feel distressed when I look at the report."

"If there had been an army of 400,000, the kingdom of the King of Chu would have been established a long time ago."

Zhu Qiyu expressed helplessness: "Guo Deng also got seriously ill and almost didn't survive, but fortunately, a Europa merchant offered a kind of bark to save Guo Deng's life." ”

"If it weren't for this bark, the Ming wouldn't be able to survive in Africa now."

"It is estimated that everyone has withdrawn."

This bark is quinine!

The bark taken from the cinchona tree in South America made its way into Europa, but no one in Europa took it seriously.

It was after the Ming people suffered from large-scale malaria that Zhu Jianshen issued a reward order that only Portuguese merchants offered the miracle medicine.

Guo Deng ate it, but many officers and soldiers died in Africa before they ate it.

The officers and soldiers of the Ming Dynasty all drank boiled water and ate cooked food, and they did not even dare to go into the deep mountains and old forests, and prepared enough mosquito medicine, but the result was still a large-scale malaria.

Africa is a barren land.

"The first cinchona tree has been sent to the center and is being planted in Baozhou Mansion."

"Perhaps, this is the nemesis of malaria."

Zhu Qiyu said: "I see, it will take at least two years to open up an ideal base and fight the Ottomans again." ”

"I thought I could send a million troops to push the Ottomans."

"As a result, a malaria sent away 100,000 troops!"

The courtiers also sighed.

When the Ming Dynasty formulated the policy, it was from a high position, and if they didn't understand the situation in Africa, they made it casually.

It turned out to be a slap in the face.

The resettlement plan was also forced to be terminated, and we had to wait for it to be developed there, and then move people over there, not too many people, because the place was not suitable for living.

Africa is a drought of droughts, waterlogging of waterlogging, and it is very unsuitable for growing crops.

Fortunately, it was Zhu Jianshen who was sent, and if he changed someone, he might have returned home and wanted to change a fiefdom.

"Your Majesty, after all, Africa is too far away from the Ming Dynasty, not to mention the danger of coming and going, it will take a year or two."

Yao Kui said: "The policy formulated by the central center at that time was judged based on the information of the Three Treasures eunuchs when they went to the West, as well as the information brought back by Liang Xuan. ”

"It's inevitable that there will be some deviations from the facts."

"It is not easy for King Chu and Marquis Guo to overcome all difficulties."

"In recent years, Daming's anti-mosquito drugs have advanced by leaps and bounds, especially after integrating the essence of Thai medicine, Cambodian medicine, and Anhui medicine, which has significantly improved the treatment of fever."

"As long as the center supports the King of Chu, the King of Chu will be able to survive in this place."

Because it occupies a lot of tropical areas, doctors have a clear understanding of mosquito and insect prevention, and doctors have developed many prescriptions with the strengths of hundreds of schools, which are very effective.

The courtiers thought so too.

"Now that I know that I can't fight a war for the time being, I can only buy it with money."

Zhu Qiyu said with a smile: "In recent years, many high-end products have entered the Europa market, and many Ouyi think that Daming is rich. ”

"I also read a travelogue written by Xiyi, saying that the East is full of gold."

"Then encourage them to pan for gold."

"Don't leave if you come."

"After all, there has been no war with the Ottomans, and the Ottomans have sold people to us over the years, as long as they have money to make."

"Chen Jiayou is still serving in Europe and going to various countries."

"In this case, I will write a few handwritten letters and hand them over to the royal families, inviting them to send envoys to visit Daming to discuss cooperation."

Come on, the Jingtai version of all countries will come to court.

But the courtiers felt that the emperor seemed to be playing a bad idea.

"Your Majesty, are you going to make all nations come to court?" Yao Kui asked cautiously.

"What are you coming to? Can you beat someone or what? It's not bad if it's not an alliance under the city! ”

Thinking of spending money, Zhu Qiyu was in a bad mood: "I am spending money to attract elites to work for the Ming Dynasty." ”

Yao Kui rolled his eyes, then don't rush me, you have to spend money.

"Chen Jiayou's mission has been on mission for more than three years, why hasn't there been any news yet?" Geng Jiuchou asked.

"Maybe you're in trouble."

Chen Jiayou's delegation of 2,000 people traveled to Europa on a Portuguese ship, bringing gifts and visiting all the countries of Europa.

At this time, Chen Jiayou was on an envoy to Italy, chatting with a painter named Leonardo da Vinci in Milan, and wanted to invite Leonardo da Vinci to Daming.

But Leonardo da Vinci had just arrived in Milan and had received unprecedented attention and was reluctant to leave the Duchy of Milan.

Chen Jiayou saw in him an image of worrying about the country and the people, and he was erudite and talented, and he was a rare all-rounder, mathematics, medicine, geography, physics, biology, engineering, water conservancy, military, etc., all involved.

But he was still trying his best to persuade Da Vinci to take a look at Da Ming, promising that Emperor Ming would definitely reuse him and make him a high-ranking official.

Leonardo da Vinci still refused.

The Da Ming he knew from Chen Jiayou was an ambitious, arrogant and unreasonable monarch, and he was unwilling to serve such a monarch.

Of course, he had come into contact with many merchants, and from them he learned about an incomparably wealthy Ming dynasty.

Nowadays, the streets of Milan are full of Ming goods.

The glass they used, the watches they wore, the expensive tea, the prohibitive porcelain, and many firearms, and even the canned beer he loved to drink, was said to have come from the Ming Dynasty.

He looked down and saw that he was dressed in a cloisonne suit, which was also from the Ming Dynasty, which was the most expensive gift given to him by the Duke of Milan, and it was said that it was something worn by the Ming Emperor.

He liked it very much, and dressed like this every day to make himself look like a gentleman.

This mysterious and powerful Ming.

There are a lot of legends about them in Milan that they are a people created by the gods, which is why they have created so many practical things, as well as delicious steaks, good chopsticks and forks.

There are often people in the tavern who complain about how arrogant and lascivious their national duke is, and then look at the Ming Dynasty in the far east, mysterious and great.

Leonardo da Vinci took a bite of a delicious steak, which is said to be a way of eating in the Ming court and was popular in Europa.

Take a sip of high-end red wine, this red wine is also Ming.

Although he didn't know the counterfeit wine he drank, he thought it was delicious, and many things in Daming attracted him.

The tavern is discussing Daming, and I heard that Daming has no night, and the night is full of lights, which sounds like an illusion.

But Chen Jiayou told him it was true.

There are dozens of cities with a per capita population of one million in the Ming Dynasty, all of which are cities that never sleep, and expensive commodities in Milan are the price of cabbage in the Ming Dynasty.

Europa is full of Da Ming style, and many things are imitations of Da Ming.

Even, there are many Milanese people in robes, obviously they yearn for the mysterious and powerful Ming.

Leonardo da Vinci listened to the complaints at the wine table, he expressed his dissatisfaction with the extravagant life of the Duke of Milan, but he was only a small painter and could not change the situation.

Many people want to go to Daming to pan for gold, but Daming is too far away.

Recalling Chen Jiayou's solicitation, Da Vinci was a little tempted, and this idea was extinguished in an instant, he didn't want to give up his current life.

He is only a painter, and he should study his own painting skills, not other useless things.

After drinking the beer, Leonardo da Vinci sighed faintly.

When he paid, he opened the wallet produced by Daming, which was a gift from Chen Jiayou.

The tavern owner saw the silver coins in his wallet and greedily wanted to pay the bill with Ming Yuan.

He refused.

This is the Ming Yuan given to him by Chen Jiayou, there are five in total, not only he likes it, but the whole Europa likes to complain.

Ming Yuan, behind is a dragon, is the national flag of the Ming Dynasty, on the front is Jingtai, the word one yuan.

Simple atmosphere.

The materials are real money.

In recent years of trade with the Ming Dynasty, many countries are using the Ming Yuan, mainly because the Ming Yuan is very sophisticated, and there is no shortage of catties or two.

Daming is not much more advanced in coinage, the focus is on reputation, there is no shortage of catties and two, there is no counterfeit money, because the cost of counterfeit coinage is the same as that of real money.

It's a pity that in a small country like Milan, it is difficult to see Ming Yuan.

He has Ming Yuan in his wallet, which is a symbol of status.

And he didn't go far, when suddenly it was dark in front of him, and he saw a guy in leather shoes, and when he fell, he snatched his wallet.

"Damn it!"

Da Vinci knew that he was rich, and he must have been the tavern owner, coveting these Ming Yuan, and supporting people to rob him.

At the last moment of his consciousness, the leather shoes worn by the person who knocked him out flashed were the leather shoes produced by Daming, damn Daming, it was really terrible......
