The Ming Dynasty started with caution

Early in the morning, outside the Fengtian Palace.

There was a sea of ​​people. This time, it was the Hanlin who knelt to make a remonstration. It was said that Zhu Houzhao wanted to send them to serve as officials outside the territory.

No one wanted to go.

"Brother Li, why didn't the court respond?" Han Quan asked in a low voice.

"It was useless for the officials of the six ministries and five temples to kneel and make a remonstration, let alone us." Another Hanlin said.

The Hanlins commented and were quite dissatisfied with the foreign assignment.

Everyone knew that Grand Secretary Yan and the new emperor were in cahoots. Grand Secretary Li was far-sighted and was no match for the two.

At this time, in the hall.

"What is Lord Yan's plan? The court cannot force people to do anything." said the Minister of Rites Mao Ji.

Even if he took office, he would run away.

Yan Chengjin thought carefully for a moment. In fact, it was not that the Hanlin did not want to be sent abroad. It was ignorance that made them think that the places outside the Ming Dynasty were all barren.

In fact, the Ottoman Empire, the Holy Roman Empire and the Tudor Empire were very rich.

You say no, but you may not want to come back after you go.

Just like in the last life, how many people would come back after going abroad? Resistance is just because of ignorance. Moreover, the most important thing for feudal dynasties is food. If there is land, food can be grown.

If you want to achieve prosperity, these territories must be taken into your pocket.

"Hanlin knows nothing about the territories outside the territory. If you ask Wang Jian to explain it and increase the salary by three times, I think it is not a big deal."

The benefit of being sent abroad is not high income, right?

Li Dongyang lowered his head slightly and did not say much.

Zhou Yao, the secretary of the Ministry of Households, said: "How does Lord Yan know that the foreign countries are rich and the people are around?"

All the officials turned their heads and looked over. If it is really rich, then there is nothing to worry about.

"The French buy silk at ten times the price. Lord Zhou, think about it carefully?" Yan Chengjin said but did not point it out.

That's right!

Can you afford to wear ten times the silk if you are not rich? In this way, it is even more silver than the Ming Dynasty.

It was noon, and the sun was shining.

The stiff body of the Hanlin gradually warmed up, and he felt that he could kneel longer.

"The new emperor's order is to let Wang Jian, the envoy of Tang and Song, teach you." Gu Dayong shouted at the top of his voice.

The Hanlins were confused.

The new emperor is vicious. If he can't convince us, he will change our minds.

Yan Chengjin gradually liked the days of kneeling and admonishing, and he always asked the Zhongshu Sheren to draw one or two pictures. When he returned to the mansion, he just sat down and took a sip of tea.

He Neng said with a bitter face: "Young Master, Lord Li is here."

Mr. Li usually brings gifts when he comes to the door, but this time he comes empty-handed. I don't know how the young master offended Mr. Li again.

Yan Chengjin thought carefully for a moment. The matter of buying territory was incredible to Li Dongyang, and the emperor had approved it. With Li Dongyang's strategy, it seems that he can't hide it from him.

"Please ask Lord Li to go to the study."

This was the first time Li Dongyang entered Yan Chengjin's study. It was comparable to the Wenhua Palace. There were all kinds of books collected, some of which were classics in the palace. I don't know when this guy copied them?

However, today I came to find Yan Chengjin to ask for clarification.

"Where is your young master?"

The daughter said crisply: "I don't know, how can I ask the young lady to see Mr. Li first?"

Li Qing'e had already come in with tea, puzzled: "Dad hasn't finished his duty yet, how can he have time to come to the mansion?"

"Where is Chengjin?"

Yan Chengjin strode into the study and dismissed Li Qing'e and others, "Mr. Li, or father-in-law?"

"Don't interrupt me, what's the matter with the territory of Tang and Song, why didn't the emperor dissuade him?"

Li Dongyang felt strange. He had been a minister to the emperor Hongzhi for more than 20 years, and knew his temper very well. He was a little indecisive and would completely let the new emperor govern.

But now, buying the territory of other countries is also allowed.

"The new emperor and I have established a dynasty, named Tang and Song."

Li Dongyang's eyes were as big as cow eyes, and his mouth was slightly open.

This is treason.

This kid is far away in the capital, but he can actually establish a dynasty in the southwest.

Yan Chengjin pulled a rope and unfolded the map hanging on the beam, "Wang Shouren is fighting against the Ottomans, don't be surprised, Lord Li, within 200 years, the French will also attack the Ming Dynasty."

The situation in the world... Instead of waiting for the French to attack, it is better to strike first.

"What about Zhaofan?"

"Also in Tang and Song, now, it should be allocated money and food to Wang Shouren, Lord Li really gave birth to a pair of good sons."

"..." Li Dongyang's face was livid, "Aren't you afraid that I will report you?"

"The emperor and the minister are in the same group."

Li Dongyang opened his mouth and couldn't speak for a long time. No wonder the emperor avoided him and retreated to the harem without asking about political affairs.

Yan Chengjin wanted to take out the booklet about Li Dongyang's social death and threaten him again, but he thought that he was his father-in-law after all.

"Mr. Li, don't worry. This is also for the prosperity of the world."

"What does it have to do with the prosperity of the world?"

"Mr. Li, do you know why the capital is prosperous? The prefectures of the world support the capital, so the capital is prosperous. What if the countries of the world support the Ming Dynasty?

Officials are needed to supervise the countries of the world, so the new emperor sent Hanlin to take office."

The bishop ruled and enfeoffed the princes. The people outside the territory have suffered from the royal family for a long time and have long wanted to start a business.

Yan Chengjin knew that if the officials sent treated the people like their own children and the people of the world were submissive, this situation would be maintained for a long time, perhaps a hundred years, or even a thousand years.

After a while, Li Dongyang left without saying a word. Yan Kesong secretly wondered, "Chengjin, why didn't you let Mr. Li have a meal at your house? You have caused trouble again?"

Thinking of Li Dongyang's face, who did Chengjin impeach again?

"Don't worry, Dad. I haven't written any letters of impeachment recently."

He Neng trotted in and said loudly: "Master, Captain Ye sent a message that the new emperor asked you to enter the palace. The big ship of Huangjinzhou is back."

"Have you found the Golden Mountain?" Yan Kesong looked at He Neng with a gossipy look on his face: "Did you summon me?"

"...Master, it seems that you were not summoned."

"The big ship going out to sea is also the business of the Ministry of War. The new emperor may have forgotten it." Yan Kesong put down his bowl and chopsticks, went back to the room and changed into an official robe.

...

Fengtian Hall,

A pile of gold was spread in the center of the hall.

Gao Feng was smiling, tears streaming down her face: "New emperor, I am finally back."

Zhu Houzhao didn't want to listen to Gao Feng's crying. What did he care about the dangers on the sea? Instead, he said: "Is there really a Huangjinzhou?"

Xie Qian's eyes were wide open. He had never seen so much gold in his life. Wang Qiong half-knelt on the ground and bit it first as a sign of respect.

"How much more gold is there?"

"Yes, on the big ship in Liangxiang. Even though the island is desolate, I haven't found the French yet. Maybe the French took more than us." Gao Feng said.

For a moment, Wang Qiong's body trembled slightly. This is a good omen.

"I think that there is no time to waste. We should send people to build ships and send a thousand ships to Huangjinzhou."

Shipbuilding requires shade-dried wood. It may take more than a hundred years to build a thousand such big ships.

Gao Feng never wants to go to that ghost place again.

"I want to sue Liu Jin. That bastard poisoned me. I am still ill. I am afraid... I can't go to Huangjinzhou."

The gentlemen looked at the gold on the ground, as if they didn't hear Gao Feng's words.

The eunuch ran in and reported: "New Emperor, Lord Yan is here."

Happy May Day!
