After they inadvertently broke through or found it after hard work, after considering the gains and losses, they will try their best to join in.Worried that the emperor would forget him, he would try his best to let him go.

The emperor went back to the main hall of the Qianqing Palace to process the memorial. As soon as he finished processing one, he saw the chief eunuch Yu, who had served him for decades, come in. "Your Majesty, the prince is seeking an audience outside the palace."

The emperor put down the memorial in his hand, thinking about what the prince would do if he found him.Originally, when the prince asked to see him, the emperor felt agitated and wanted to say no.But when the words came to his lips, the emperor thought of the abnormality of the prince in the court today, and wondered if there was something wrong with the prince.The emperor rubbed his forehead, "Let him in!"

Director Yu walked out of the main hall of Qianqing Palace, and saw His Royal Highness standing in the middle of the entrance of Qianqing Palace to the left, and His Highness's personal eunuch was holding a long box.

When His Royal Highness saw Director Yu approaching, he gestured with his forehead.Manager Yu didn't care either, he also watched the prince grow up.Knowing that the prince is a person, he has been strict with himself since he was a child, and he has always been reserved when dealing with his servants who serve him.He was afraid that his behavior would lose his identity. To be honest, Director Yu knew about the prince's situation.

Manager Yu was also very sorry, after all, Manager Yu spent the longest time with the prince.When he was young, the prince was raised by the emperor.As the emperor's personal eunuch, Director Yu also watched His Royal Highness grow up little by little.

"His Royal Highness, Your Majesty welcomes you." Manager Yu said when he walked two steps away from the Prince respectfully.

"Understood." His Royal Highness took the long box from the hand of his personal eunuch, and walked to the main hall of Qianqing Palace.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince walked into the main hall of the Qianqing Palace, and greeted him first.

When the emperor saw his son, who was in his prime, looking graceful and majestic, a trace of irritability suddenly surged in his heart.He was not in the mood to say anything else, so he asked straightforwardly: "Get up! Is the prince here for something?"

"Father, when my son went out a few days ago, I got a good thing and wanted to show it to my father. After my father finished reading it, I still have two things to say." His Royal Highness said He unpacked the box in his hand.

The emperor originally wanted the prince to speak directly, but thinking of the abnormality of the prince's early courtship and the behavior that could be said to be impolite now, the emperor stopped again.I want to see what the prince is up to, anyway, I will find out later, and I don't care about such a little time.

But seeing the prince's performance, the emperor knew that the prince was really serious.I hope that other sons will not commit crimes again, the prince has caught the handle.Seeing the prince's serious movements, the emperor's heart slowly lifted.

When the prince opened the long box, the emperor saw a roll of paper inside. He didn't know what it was, and made the prince treat it so seriously.The prince handed the box to the little eunuch in the palace, and picked up one side of the scroll.Manager Yu stepped forward to help with a wink, picked up the other side of the scroll, and slowly stepped back.

As Director Yu slowly retreated to the other side, the content of the scroll was slowly revealed.The emperor took a look and saw that it was a map.When the emperor saw the map, his heart was relieved.I was about to say something, but immediately reacted.If it was really an ordinary map, the prince would not take it out so preciously.But the emperor couldn't figure out what kind of map the prince took out so solemnly. The emperor looked at it carefully and discovered the mystery in it.

It turned out that the marks on this map were a bit small, so the emperor looked carefully, because they couldn't see clearly from a distance.However, the emperor knew about the contents on the map.It was precisely because of knowing that the emperor was shocked and pleasantly surprised.

The emperor stepped forward quickly and took a closer look.Even though the words on the scroll were a bit small and looked a bit laborious, I looked at them carefully without blinking my eyes.The more he watched, the happier the emperor felt.

His Royal Highness watched the emperor looking at the scroll with some difficulty, and then walked in, intending to give the prepared magnifying glass to His Majesty the Emperor.

The emperor was watching vigorously when he felt the scroll tremble.What I just saw all of a sudden, I can't see where it is now.Just when the emperor wanted to get angry, he found that the prince handed him a magnifying glass.The emperor also knew the function of the magnifying glass, so he took it quickly.

But because of this encounter, the emperor's excited heart calmed down.The emperor coughed and stood up straight. "Put the scroll on the table."

As soon as His Majesty's words fell, a few clever little eunuchs stepped forward quietly and quickly to move the memorial to another place.Director Yu and another court lady carefully carried the scroll to it, and adjusted the angle according to the light so that His Majesty could read it conveniently.

His Majesty the Emperor waited for Director Yu to open the scroll, and immediately went to watch it.While concentrating on looking at the map, he asked casually: "This map is really detailed and accurate, and it is rare in the world. Where did the prince get this map?"

The prince followed the emperor, and when he heard the emperor's question, he immediately replied: "When I was out of the palace a few days ago, I met a strange person, and that person gave me this map." Then the prince slowly explained the reasons why he got the map Come on, some of my own opinions are also mixed in.

After hearing this, the emperor felt that there were such strange people in the world, but he did not doubt the prince's words.Because the prince described the details of the matter in a reasonable and reasonable way, and the prince would not lie to himself about this matter.After all, this matter is easy to verify, the prince will not slap himself in the mouth (no wonder, this play was directed and acted by the prince himself).

When His Majesty the Emperor saw the gold, silver, iron, copper and other minerals on the island not far from his own country, His Majesty the Emperor's breath became a little short of breath.After all, the national treasury is really empty, and there is not much money in his own private treasury.

His Majesty the Emperor also knew that the money in the treasury rarely had anything to do with him. If he hadn't gone to the south of the Yangtze River several times and spent a lot of money, the money in the treasury would not be reduced so quickly.

Of course, there are also those old ministers who have borrowed a lot of money from the treasury and have not paid it back.But I was getting old, and I didn't want to be called a harsh official, so I turned a blind eye.Anyway, since I'm already this old, I'll leave it to the next emperor to deal with it.It can not only train the next emperor, but also kill chickens and monkeys and establish prestige.

But what I saw now, there are these minerals not far from my country.If a full treasury can be left to the next emperor, the emperor is also very willing.

Besides, His Majesty the Emperor still has confidence in those small countries with mineral resources.His Majesty the Emperor believed that as long as the army of his own country made a move, it would be easy to catch.

Now what His Majesty the Emperor has to consider is how authentic the map is. It only shows the location of the minerals and how many specific minerals there are.

His Majesty the Emperor took a closer look and found a place, that is, many colors are used on this map.For example, the color of gold mines is the same color, but the shades of the colors are slightly different.At first, the emperor thought it was a problem caused by improper preservation of the map, but soon the emperor discovered the clue.

The depth of the color should be the different reserves of the minerals. The emperor held a magnifying glass in one hand and put the other on the map and asked, "Does the depth of the color represent the different sizes of the minerals?"

"Yes, Father. The darker the color, the more minerals there are. But the person who gave me the map said that there will be some deviations because they didn't actually dig out the minerals. But the person who detected those minerals Some special skills, so even if there is a deviation, it is not a big deal." The prince said after following the emperor.

The emperor was overjoyed again when he heard this, and looked more seriously.When he saw the minerals in his own country, the emperor wanted to ask people to dig out the few undiscovered minerals immediately.

The emperor secretly calmed down, then carefully looked at the location of the mine, and connected it with the place in his impression.At the same time, I was thinking about the candidates for officials, which official should be sent to confirm, and when the time comes, I will send that official to dig.

At this time, the prince spoke.Colonial colonies in ancient times abroad, that is, the continuation of the suzerain country overseas.There are also such things as trade needs, less land and more people, or dissatisfied with the political status quo of the city-state to immigrate out to establish a site and so on.

After the emperor heard it, he had no idea.After all, my country has a vast land and abundant resources, and there will be no situation where there are too few land and many people.As for dissatisfaction with the rule of the imperial court, this issue needs to be considered.For those who are dissatisfied with the rule of the court, every dynasty and every generation has it.It would be better if they all went out.But why did the prince say these things for no reason, the emperor felt faint doubts in his heart.But the emperor is stable, the prince should be able to tell his purpose.

As expected by the emperor, the prince then talked about the current immigration situation abroad.The prince said excitedly: "I sent people to investigate. Foreign countries began to carry out colonial rule during the Ming Dynasty. I heard that those colonial countries obtained some precious raw materials from those colonized countries and shipped them back to their own countries. Developed The economy of one's own country has enhanced the strength of one's own country. Because of the plundering of colonial countries, one's own country's army has been cultivated. A well-trained army has in turn occupied more territories. Many countries have participated in it. I heard that The territory has been divided."

Then His Royal Highness said with some hesitation in his tone: "I also heard that those poor people who can't survive in their own country go to those colonies and live like rich people in the country. After working hard for a few years, when they grow old , and return to China to live the life of an ordinary rich man.”

"Really?" The emperor also raised his interest.

"I think there should be such people. I heard people who used to do overseas business say that the spices, gems, and ivory in those places are very precious here, but they are very cheap there. In addition, that place is a colony. , the profit should be higher." His Royal Highness became a little vague after speaking.

The prince said it nicely, how could the emperor not think of it.Since that place is occupied by other countries, it is still occupied in this form.Even the people of their own country will have more confidence in front of the people of the clan country.From that point of view, we can know that those people in the colonized places can't hold their heads up in front of the people in the colonial country.It is not easy for the people in the colonial country to lower the price, and if they are black-hearted, they will give them anything, so what can the colonized country say.

Then His Royal Highness paused for a moment, regrettably said: "Our country has not participated in it, and most of the territory has been marked out now. It will be a little difficult to participate in it."

The emperor agreed quite a bit when he heard this, but the emperor didn't take it too seriously.But the emperor took a closer look at the map of his own country, put his eyes on the surroundings, and then slowly looked outside from the map of his own country.Seeing those minerals, and the climate and production there, the emperor's eyes turned red.

The emperor felt a dull pain in his heart, as if he saw those good things flying out with their wings on both sides.A seed has been planted in the emperor's heart, and he wants to go out and occupy a place.

At the same time, the emperor immediately wondered why the prince said this to himself, but the emperor's thoughts were quite consistent with the prince's concubine.Everyone thought that the crown prince was shifting the conflict, and everyone focused on the matter of colonization, and the pressure on the crown prince would be much less.

The prince walked up to the emperor, lifted his clothes and knelt down.He told the emperor that he asked for two things, one is to resign from the position of prince, and the other is to contribute to the country and occupy a piece of overseas territory for the country.Of course, the prince would not say it so bluntly. What the prince said was that he wanted to save those poor people in the local area, and at the same time, he also raised the prestige of our country.

The emperor was stunned on the spot when he heard the prince's words. The emperor didn't expect the prince to say such a thing.Although the emperor was a little dissatisfied with the prince, the emperor really didn't really want to abolish the prince.

At the same time, the eldest prince and the other two princes were also stunned on the spot. They did not expect to hear such explosive news.

The eldest prince listened to the corner for a while, although he didn't hear all of it, but he heard the rest of the prince's words.Especially the part about the colonial country was really heard, and the eldest prince was even more excited when he heard it.The eldest prince just wanted to rush out to express that he was willing to share the worries of his father and open up territories for the country.Hearing the prince's words, my head went blank.
