When Zhu Qiyu heard this, he stopped talking. To let others do the work, we must respect the work of others. Since the imperial city has been handed over to the two imperial concubines, as long as there are no major problems, they will go.

Zhu Qiyu is also not interested in the governance of the imperial city. After several rounds of mutinies and coups, most of the eunuchs were almost abolished.

What can make Zhu Qiyu care is the warehouses and books in the imperial city, and the rest doesn't matter.

Asa Xue added: "Recently, the Ministry of Industry has recruited another 3,000 craftsmen, saying that it is to increase the scale of firearms manufacturing. The Shanglin Yuan Supervisor built several new halls in the outer city to provide food for the craftsmen.

Some of the affairs that originally belonged to Guanglu Temple were replaced by the superintendent of Shanglin Yuan. ”

Zhu Qiyu said with a smile: "That is to say, Shanglin Yuanjian and Guanglu Temple are fighting in the ring." There's no problem with that, it's good to have competition.

There are ten ridiculous things in the capital: the tea soup of Guanglu Temple, the prescription of the Tai Hospital, the prayer of God's optimism, the sword and gun of the Arsenal Division, the work of the Guan Ji Division, the clothing and food of the Nursing Institute, the mother-in-law of the Teaching Workshop Division, the constitution of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, the school of the Guozijian, and the articles of the Hanlin Academy.

The food cooked in Guanglu Temple is unpalatable, and it is famous and second to none.

Therefore, I have to push the Shanglin Yuan Supervisor to compete with it, which is my original intention of assigning the Shanglin Yuan Supervisor to Jing Zhaoyin.

There are more and more craftsmen in the capital, and there must be a strong organization to ensure the food, clothing, housing and transportation of these craftsmen, and I will expand the authority of the Shanglin Yuan Supervisor as appropriate in the future. ”

Qianxue asked again: "The Ministry of Rites has heard that the Hami envoys have paid tribute and have offered horses and camels. The rest of the jade was 1,200 catties, and the envoy begged to sell it. ”

"One thousand two hundred catties of jade? Hami is rich in jade, isn't it? ”

"Those jades are colorful and beautiful. We want to buy them all and spread jade in the fish pond of the flower house to make a colorful fish pond. ”

Zhu Qiyu nodded: "Okay, okay, you are getting more and more emotional." ”

Ning Xiang asked on the side, "Will the husband knock Hami down?" ”

Zhu Qiyu shook his head: "Forget it, Hami, it's a small place, there aren't many people there, what are you doing beating him." I can't beat all the surrounding countries, and if I beat them all, no one will come to pay tribute.

As a powerful empire, it still needs all nations to come to the court after all.

I want to follow the example of Qin Shi Huang and carry out a big project to build a straight road from Ganzhou, through Hami and Turpan, along the northern foot of the Tianshan Mountains into Ili.

This is not only the Silk Road, but also a strategic route for sending soldiers, horses, money and food.

In the future, let the children and grandchildren rely on this straight road to pass through the Western Regions. ”

"Won't the people have to suffer again for such a huge project?"

Zhu Qiyu said with a smile: "I, a great tomorrow, am a bit reactionary and backward, and I am going to start the slave trade with the Ottoman Empire and the Crimean Khanate." ”

"The slave trade?"

Zhu Qiyu nodded: "Reactionary is a little reactionary, but I am also rescuing them." They were bought by others and had an even worse life. And as long as they dedicate thirty years to the Ming Dynasty, I will let them regain their free body. ”

"And then, let them stay in Daming to live?"

"Then how can it be done, unless it is a particularly powerful craftsman, ordinary people send it to Tianzhu to drink the water of the Ganges.

Speaking of this, my Buddhist reform has been going on for so long, have any monks applied to go to Tianzhu to serve the Buddha? ”

Asa Yuki shook her head with Su Xi.

Two identical little ladies, with exactly the same movements, shaking their little heads rhythmically, look quite wonderful.

Zhu Qiyu asked curiously, "Xue'er, Xi'er, have you two sisters seen Wang Ba shaking his head?" ”

Qianxue and Suxi were slightly stunned by this sudden question, and then continued to shake their heads in response.

Zhu Qiyu smiled: "But I've seen it for my husband." ”

Only then did the second daughter react, and pounced on her left and right.

Zhu Qiyu was cleaned up and his clothes were scattered and covered with lip prints, and the two women gave up, and then continued to answer the question: "The monks of the Ming Dynasty, no one has applied to go to Tianzhu.

Okay, who would be crazy to serve the Buddha?

It is said that Tianzhu was invaded by foreign races, and Buddhism has been destroyed.

The Buddha couldn't even look at his own home, isn't that a big joke.

The monks of the Ming Dynasty are not stupid, they all know that the husband has grasped their weakness, and is frantically burying them and mocking them. ”

Zhu Qiyu spread his hands: "Then can you blame me, the Buddha even let people serve his own nest, and the good men and women of the Ming Dynasty are still kowtowing in the temple, muttering that they want the Buddha to appear and save the suffering."

The Buddha didn't even care about the invaders in his own hometown, and would care about the believers of other races thousands of miles away? It's ridiculous.

I thought that the monks of the Ming Dynasty would raise the bar with me, and then there would be a Master Xuanzang to learn scriptures from the West or something. ”

……

On the second day of February, the dragon raised its head.

In Fujian, in the governor's yamen, the governor Nian Fu, the governor of Zhejiang, Xuan Hui, and the governor of Fujian, Xue Xilian, got together and quarreled.

Opposite Fujian, across the sea from the 'Xiaoliuqiu', such a big island, the Ming Dynasty monarchs and ministers turned a blind eye to it, pretending not to see it.

Since his arrival, Nianfu has been busy suppressing local tyrants and improving people's livelihood, and he has not paid attention to 'Xiaoliuqiu'.

And the emperor, who has always had a far-reaching layout and is obsessed with expanding his territory, has never given a hint.

However, after Xue Xilian, the governor of Fujian, returned from Japan with his sailors, he was like fascinated by evil spirits, and he insisted on taking the 'Xiaoliuqiu'.

And in Xue Xilian's mouth, 'Little Ryukyu' has nothing to do with Ryukyu. The previous Ming monarchs and ministers, except for Taizong, were all interested in exploring overseas and had no interest. Based on speculation, the ministers called the big island opposite Fujian 'Xiaoliuqiu'.

The dispute between Nianfu and Xue Xilian is that Nianfu wants to carry out reforms first, and Xue Xilian wants to attack 'Xiaoliuqiu'.

Nian Fu persuaded bitterly: "Zhou Laoshangshu was sent to Nanjing by the Holy Lord to preside over the reform. It is said to be a reform, but in fact it is a change in the law.

Zhou Laoshangshu's original intention was to implement the law change in Nanzhili and Zhejiang, and I wanted to add Fujian to it by the way, and Zhejiang and Fujian changed the law at the same time.

In this way, we can go ahead of the rest of the provinces.

If you think about it, Shandong is also doing reforms, and if it weren't for the continuous floods in the past two years, Shandong would have left us behind.

There is also Shanxi, which has long been carrying out reforms. We have to make achievements as soon as possible in order to be worthy of the faith of the saints. ”

Xue Xilian retorted: "The task given to us by the Holy Lord is to open the sea ban and do a good job in overseas trade. We have to take down 'Little Ryukyu' and Luzon.

First, it can protect trade lanes; Second, the number of ports under Fujian's jurisdiction can be increased.

Third, we can increase Fujian's cultivated land and farmland.

Especially the third point, our Fujian is mountainous, and there is very little farmland.

If Xiaoliuqiu and Luzon were to be taken, the farmland would be greatly increased, much faster than the results of the reforms. ”

Nian Fu was just about to refute, but Xue Xilian added: "And the so-called 'Xiaoliuqiu' opposite our Fujian has already been given a name by the Holy Lord, called Taiwan Island.

Although the saint didn't say it, he paid a lot of attention.

Moreover, the Ryukyu Kingdom could also be incorporated into the Ming Dynasty, and the saint said that the Ryukyus could be used as a province and assigned to Zhejiang. ”
