With Liang Yue's explanation bit by bit, Song Renzong and Empress Cao in front of them finally stabilized their emotions slowly.

Moreover, they gradually began to accept the fact that the ancestral land of China and the surrounding areas are only part of the world, while the orthodox Song Dynasty of China is more exquisite and small.

But compared to the two emperors and empresses, the servants, clans, and masters from various sects sitting in the hall became more curious and even impatient.

Because, when Liang Yue explained and introduced the areas on this map, she did not just point out some areas in the Great Song Dynasty.

It also includes the surrounding borders, separated by the sea, and even more places that everyone here has never heard of.

What made them even more uncomfortable was that everyone in the main hall could only imagine with Liang Yue's voice, but what they could see with their eyes was the back of the map drawn and engraved with extraordinary embroidery techniques.

It felt like a peerless treasure was right in front of them, but they could only pretend not to see it due to etiquette and etiquette.

At this time, it can truly reflect the cultivation skills and patience of everyone present here.

If Song Renzong had the heart at this time, he could watch the map and listen to Liang Yue's explanation while observing the state of everyone in the hall.

Not to mention the ministers and workers of the Manchu dynasty, as well as the masters who live far away in the rivers and lakes, at least it is a good opportunity to investigate the children of the imperial family.

However, at this moment, Zhao Zhen didn't have such thoughts and calculations. He had been listening to Liang Yue's explanation with all his attention, and a pair of dizzy eyes flashed dazzlingly from time to time.

……

"This place is Luzon Island, which is just across the sea from Song Dynasty. Pindao suggested that His Majesty must send someone to take it down. It is best to send troops and move enough people to move there."

At this time, Liang Yue pointed to an island on the map across the South China Sea from Song Dynasty, and solemnly recommended it.

"Luzon Island, I still know about this. I heard that it is a very hot place, and there are only a few uncivilized natives living on it. I don't know why the chief made such a statement?"

When Song Renzong heard the words, surprise appeared on his face, but there was more expectation in his eyes.

"For one thing, it can alleviate the three redundant problems of our dynasty to a certain extent, especially the already too many refugees, Xiangjun, and even the imperial army. The old people of the previous dynasty once said that the best soldiers are not the most, so it is better to take them one by one. click.

Excessive military strength has become a burden to the court. Although His Majesty can still maintain his position at this time, it still involves and consumes a lot of effort from the court, and it will definitely become a disaster in the future.

Secondly, for the overseas territories that were newly incorporated into the dynasty, His Majesty can alleviate the conflicts caused by land in various places through replacement, trading, and fiefdoms.

Ease the fertility of the land and reconcile the relationship between the peasants and the gentry. "

As she spoke, Liang Yue paused, pointed at several specific places in Luzon Island with her finger, and then continued.

"Thirdly, this island is not as useless as others say, but contains rich mineral resources, among which gold mines and copper mines are what our Song Dynasty urgently needs.

Such a unique place, but only a few native tribes live in it, just like a child walking in the busy market with a beautiful jade. For the Song Dynasty, this is a land given by heaven. "

"There are copper mines and gold mines on that island... Do you really mean what the Taoist said!?"

After hearing Liang Yue's words, Song Renzong's expression froze immediately, and then his old face showed even more ecstasy.

As a Mingjun who wants to make a difference during his tenure, Zhao Zhen is naturally well aware of the many hidden dangers in the Song Dynasty.

The former Fan Zhongyan's reform was an attempt, but in the end it was because it violated the interests of many people, so that the resistance from the government, the people and the people was too great and had to give up, and finally ended sadly.

Coupled with the increasing oppression of alien races in the north, Song Renzong gradually lost his former vigor.

Now, Liang Yue's proposal seemed to give him hope again.

For those former resistance to reform and vested interests, this is a means of luring them, not directly digging power from the other party.

Gold mines, copper mines, etc. are certainly exciting, but the replacement of land and the plan to deal with the refugee army are even more exciting to him!

This compromise plan, for a while, seemed to broaden Zhao Zhen's horizons and made him think a lot.

"Above the court, poor Taoists naturally dare not speak nonsense."

"it is good!"

"Actually, there are still many areas worthy of development overseas. As long as His Majesty can send people to explore these large islands and land, then according to the natural conditions and land conditions of each place.

Factors such as resources and minerals should be graded and marked, listed for sale, and preferential replacement, etc., will be enough to solve the conflict between people and land in China. If tax officials can be sent to station in various places at that time.

If effective methods are used, it will be more able to open up the source of taxation and taxation in our dynasty. By then, a rich country and a strong army will be just around the corner. "

"Good! Good!"

……

"Ahem~ Your Majesty, I don't know what your Majesty and Mr. Qing Yuanzi said just now?"

"Chen, it seems that you mentioned Luzon Island and overseas places?"

"This matter is of great importance. If His Majesty is interested, you need to discuss it carefully with our courtiers."

"It's about reform, so we really need to be more cautious."

"Yes, Your Majesty, noncommittal, hehehe~"

……

After listening to the dialogue between Song Renzong and Liang Yue at the head of the central hall, most of the ministers present and the clan's children who have some insight and geography knowledge reserve seem to have realized something.

Then, he became even more impatient, looking at the few people behind the map, looking forward to it.

Song Renzong, who was talked about by his ministers, suddenly recovered from his reverie at this moment.

At this time, he turned his head sideways, looked over the map and looked into the main hall, and then showed a childlike smile to the people in the room.

Then he gestured to the eunuch next to him, turned the map around, faced the direction of the crowd, and slowly retreated to the back of the dragon platform, attaching it to the mural on the wooden platform.

He himself and Empress Cao followed suit, came to the front of the map again, and waved to everyone in the palace.

"Come over and have a look. You must have heard what Daoist Qing Yuanzi said to me just now. It has really benefited me a lot~! Tell me, what do you think?"

"Your Majesty thinks that... this matter should be discussed later. Now, His Majesty's birthday banquet is held in this hall. It can be said that a group of virtuous men and masters gathered here. If Your Majesty is really interested in it, we will get rid of the evil system.

Then it needs to be treated with more caution, and Rong Chen and others carefully deduced and figured it out. "

An old man with a rich figure and a dark complexion, with a big belly, slowly came behind the emperor and empress, looking at the map in front of him.

Although his eyes were also bright, he tried his best to suppress his emotions. After taking a few deep breaths, he said with some restraint.

"What Bao Gong said is true! If the island is really as good as Taoist Qing Yuanzi said, it is related to the rise and fall of the country, and I, Song Dynasty, must take it as my own.

However, this island will not disappear without a trace due to a short-term difference. Before that, His Majesty still needs to send soldiers, craftsmen and courtiers to go there first to investigate carefully. "

At this time, another minister with a slightly reserved look came over, staring at the world map in front of him and said

"Han Qing and Bao Qing's words, they are old-fashioned and seek the country, and I really like it~"
