Jiang Ning listened to Diana's proposal, glanced at her with a smile, shook his head and said:

"With thousands of years of Chinese history and cultural heritage, we have already formed a unique system and have always influenced the surrounding countries.

This is very different from the West, so what is applicable to you is not necessarily good in the Ming Dynasty.

If nothing else, let's just say that the colonies are dumping ground for commodities, and it is easy to provoke their discontent over time. Once they are made strong and hung overseas, it is very likely that they will become independent directly and lose their national strength in vain.

It is impossible for Da Ming to accept this kind of thing. ”

Diana felt that she was being underestimated, and Cherry pouted, and said:

"How is this possible?

Most of those colonies only have extremely weak natives, and the civilization is still very backward, according to the strength of the Ming Dynasty, it can be easily conquered without much army.

In this way, as long as the central Ming Dynasty is strong, the troops sent out and the people of the colony must rely on the mother country in order to survive in the almost blank colony.

Then, in order to consolidate the rule in the local area, you can also recruit those native nobles to govern the native people, as long as the highest level is the Ming people, that is, the Ming Dynasty said that the razing is the first to control the raze.

As for the governor, it is possible to establish a system of rotation every few years to prevent him from developing his influence in the local area.

Without a leader, even if those Ming people who immigrated to the colony had some careful thinking, it would be useless.

Even if it is really possible to be independent according to what adults say, it will be hundreds of years later.

In such a long time, Da Ming has gained enough wealth, no matter how you look at it, it will not be a loss. ”

Jiang Ning raised his eyebrows and looked Diana up and down.

"My lord, why are you looking at me like this?"

Diana's cheeks were slightly red, and there was a hint of shame in her eyes.

"It's only the first time I've known that you still have such insight.

According to Da Ming's words, it is that women are not allowed to have eyebrows, and the official has been taught. ”

Jiang Ning praised with a smile.

During this time, he had been discussing political affairs with Diana, consciously or unconsciously.

At first, the girl was a little defensive, and the conversation stopped, but then she was extremely actively involved.

Especially when she felt that Jiang Ning was wrong, she must correct and refute it like a child.

The knowledge involved in it is also becoming more and more profound, at least not something that she, the so-called Franco, can understand.

It's just that Jiang Ning didn't expect that Diana's vigilance had relaxed to this point, and she actually started talking to him about the colony.

You must know that this thing, the West has just emerged, but she talks about it so carefully.

But Diana didn't realize this, and she felt beautiful in her heart because she won the debate against Jiang Ning.

To be honest, she came all the way to Daming, and she was alone, she must have been very lonely and scared.

As a result, as the two got along more and more, she had a sense of affection and affection for Jiang Ning, and the psychological distance became closer and closer.

That's why she subconsciously ignored the pitfalls.

Just when Diana thought of something and a flush appeared on her face, Jiang Ning picked up an official letter and read it.

Suddenly, his body began to tremble, the green tendons on his arms burst out, and he forcibly held back the anger in his heart and said:

"You go and give this official letter to Lord He, and let her see me after reading it."

"Huh? Okay, okay. ”

Diana came back to her senses and suddenly saw Jiang Ning looking at her coldly, her eyes full of alienation and strangeness, and even a little disgust.

She was aggrieved.

It was fine just now, but how did it suddenly become like this.

Diana took it carefully, lifted the hem of her skirt, and hurried to the backyard study.

This is where He Yuyao works.

At this time, she was telling He Xuan about things with Qianhu He Xuan.

Seeing Diana coming, she couldn't help but stop talking, and after asking the reason, she took the official document and let her out.

As soon as she closed the door, Diana heard He Yuyao's coquettish voice.

"What a bunch of brutes that are not as good as that!"

She suddenly stopped, crouched down and moved under the window next to her, stealing the sound.

"My lord, what's wrong?"

"The group of Western pirates who controlled Manraka waited for an opportunity to attack Guangdong, burning, killing and plundering.

That's not all, they even caught many young children and ate them raw!

The underworld doesn't accept them! ”

He Yuyao was so angry that her chest rose and fell, and she clenched her pink fist.

Diana was shocked, her little face turned pale, her eyes suddenly turned red, and she murmured:

"How so, how can this be?"

She finally understood the reason for the huge change in Jiang Ning's attitude before and after.

But it has nothing to do with her.

The more she thought about it, the more she felt aggrieved, and Diana wiped her tears and returned to her room.

After her mood stabilized, she re-entered the lobby.

It's just that Jiang Ning didn't even look at her, and he didn't even want to talk to her.

Diana stood pitifully in the corner, sniffling hard, trying not to let her tears fall again.

And over the next two days, she found that even the others didn't want to pay attention to her.

Including Wu Chounu and other personal soldiers, as well as small maids and maids, etc.

Everyone was very alienated and apathetic.

Diana felt completely isolated.

Probably abandoned again.

She thought.

This morning, Diana was still on the side to give Jiang Ning a hand.

He Yuyao suddenly walked in happily.

"Good news, my lord, ...... West"

She glanced inadvertently, saw Diana, and hurriedly asked her to go out first.

Diana answered, walked out of the room with small steps, closed the door, and crouched carefully under the window again.

in the house.

"My lord, the people of our inner factory have secretly come into contact with the people of the Ming Dynasty who were captured to work for the Western pirates.

After understanding the righteousness and promising heavy profits, he finally told them to flee by night, tomorrow night.

Although it was difficult to wait for the opportunity to get the Franc cannon, most of these people had learned the development of the Franc cannon, and the things that the adults were worried about could finally be solved. ”

"Good!"

Jiang Ning stroked his palms and laughed, and said:

"With these capable people, it is easy for me to make the Fran cannon.

Yu Yao, after a while, he will take the jade plate of the official and go to mobilize a thousand households, carefully arrange them along the coast, and be sure to pick them up safely. ”

"The slave family understands."

He Yuyao took the jade plate handed by Jiang Ning, took advantage of the situation to stretch out her slender and delicate fingers, and gently scratched it in his palm.

Then he sweetly took it back, and said in a good time:

"My lord, after so many days, we all know that Diana is unlikely to be an ordinary folk girl.

And she has been with pirates for more than two years, but she is still innocent, no matter how you think about it, it is strange.

Hengzhi now has the Fran cannon, and soon we will have to go to war with the Franco, it is too unsafe to keep her, and the slave family should see it, so let's deal with it as soon as possible. ”

When Diana heard this, her face turned pale, and she whispered:

"I thought you were a good person, but I didn't expect you to be so bad!

Hmph, it must be that I stay next to adults day and night, and I'm psychologically jealous, Daming's fox! ”

After coming here for many days, Diana has naturally improved a lot in Chinese.

A lot of slang and appellations are ripe.

And soon Jiang Ning's words made her not care about being annoyed, and continued to prick up her ears.

"Actually, after getting along for so long, I think Diana is simple-minded and pure-natured, not like a gangster, and I think it should have nothing to do with pirates."

Diana was immediately overwhelmed.

He Yuyao said resolutely:

"My lord, if she is not strange, why should she deliberately hide her identity from adults?

Even if you're not a pirate, there must be a ghost, and you can't stay here anymore anyway. ”

Jiang Ning paced for a while and hesitated, "Yuyao, what do you want to do?" ”

"What do the slaves mean, naturally they are the cleanest to kill."

"No way!"

Jiang Ning shook his head and said:

"Although I have deliberately distanced myself from her for the past two days, I have never had such thoughts.

Well, I'll ask her one last time later, and if she doesn't say anything, let's get rid of her. ”

Diana heard this, and tears flowed down her face, dripping to the ground.

He Yuyao pursed her red lips at the window, smiled, and said, "My lord, the slave family will leave first, my lord must come up with a decision." ”

As she spoke, she winked at Jiang Ning and walked briskly outside the house.

Diana heard the movement, quickly wiped her tears, and quickly ran to the wall behind the corner to hide.

It wasn't until He Yuyao left for a while that she appeared at the door, pursing her pink lips tightly, a hint of firmness appeared in her amber eyes, and said, "My lord, I have something to tell you." ”

At this time, Diana's cowardice and twist in the past have disappeared, and she is full of elegance and nobility.

She walked in slowly with the hem of her skirt and stared at Jiang Ning.

Jiang Ning was dealing with official business, and lowered his eyes and said, "What's the matter?" ”
