My Daming New Empire

Jin Kuo is also very busy. Without any preparation, he has to take over the job of Handyin Shoujian, and all aspects of human relationship must be in place. He will not be free this New Year.

That night, Zhu Zhanji accompanied Zhu Di and Zhu Gaochi entertained the nobles in the capital, and came to Xingqing Palace together in the evening.

Three generations of grandparents look at the colorful globe under the bright candlelight.Zhu Gaochi saw this for the first time, he was worse than Zhu Di at noon, and he couldn't believe what he saw with his eyes.

However, Zheng He also drew a lot of nautical charts during his voyages, at least on the topography of Southeast Asia, this globe has been verified.

It is not difficult to confirm the authenticity of the map, especially since Asia's largest anthracite coal mine in later generations is located by the sea, and it is now the site of the Cochin Cheng Xuan Zhengsi. It is easy to know the authenticity.

Zhu Di only needs to make a decree to let the local garrison find out.

But now it's almost Chinese New Year, and I'm going to deal with these things after the Chinese New Year.

The father and son sat next to the globe, looking at the globe, while referring to "Magellan's Voyage Diary", immersed in the daydream of conquering the world.

Seeing them like this, Zhu Zhanji was satisfied.

He thinks that he is not smarter than the ancients. Since the Xia, Shang and Zhou dynasties, a long-standing civilization has been born in the Central Plains that makes people excited.

The thoughts of various schools of thought in the Spring and Autumn and Warring States Periods still influence the world thousands of years later.

The advantage of later generations over predecessors is that they have more historical experience and world cognition.But in terms of IQ and EQ, there is no advantage.

In many things, you may not be able to do better than the ancients, because in terms of historical fit, they have the advantage of perfect integration than Zhu Zhanji.

The low-ranking ones work hard, the middle-ranking ones work intellectually, and the high-ranking ones work hard.

With Zhu Zhanji's current status, he doesn't need to play tricks or tricks at all, nor does he need to be clever.

In such a stable social environment, there are two elders, one is the emperor who is loved by all, and the other is the prince who is respected by middle-class Confucianism.

He doesn't have to worry about management at all, he just needs to allocate resources reasonably.

It can be said that there is no easier reform than this to use the emperor and the prince to help him stand in the front.

Moreover, judging by their appearance, they are absolutely willing to do all this.

Zhu Di may still have some concerns about the warlords fighting in Iwami Ginzan in Japan, but Zhu Di will never let go of the gold mines in the Philippines and the coal mines in Vietnam.

The more he looked at this globe, the more regretful Zhu Di felt. "In just four years, this Magellan was able to circle the world and draw such a precise map. This person is a genius. This drawing method, including the mine exploration method, is unfortunately not handed down... ..."

Zhu Zhanji was afraid that Zhu Di would find it a pity, and in turn would annoy Jin Kuo who killed "Magellan".In this era, Jin Kuo must be careful if he is annoyed by an emperor.

"Grandfather, this matter is not a pity. If it is not my race, it will have a different heart. If it is really because of a great talent, I am reluctant to kill him. Leaving this kind of secret will do no harm to my Ming Dynasty."

"Isn't there no country in this world that can compete with my Ming Dynasty? Why should my Ming Dynasty be afraid of it?"

"Grandpa Huang, just one Bei Yuan makes it difficult for me, Da Ming. For me, Da Ming, Bei Yuan is the most serious problem. If this disease is not cured, it will be difficult for me, Da Ming, to have the energy to take care of him."

Zhu Di nodded and said, "In Ji'er's opinion, how should we proceed with this matter?"

Zhu Zhanji looked at the excited Zhu Gaochi and said, "Grandpa Huang is only in his thirties. He has fought with Bei Yuan all his life. There is no one who is more familiar with Bei Yuan than Grandpa Huang. Father is only in his thirties. , is deeply respected by Confucianism and the great people in the court. And my grandson is also curious about the world outside of Ming Dynasty. As for its shortcoming, the three of us, grandpa and grandson, each occupy their own positions and seek their own strengths."

Zhu Di lifted his spirits, nodded and said, "If you have any ideas, please come with them one by one."

"Wala, Tatar, and Wuliangha are my confidants' big troubles. However, the three tribes now use the grassland and the northern desert as their natural barriers, and it is still difficult to completely eradicate them. Even if they are canonized by my Ming, they only obey all these sources on the surface. Since my Ming Dynasty did not really affect the internal affairs of the three clans."

Zhu Di looked at Zhu Zhanji and said, "What is Ji'er's strategy?"

Zhu Zhanji pondered for a while, and brought up the strategy of the Qing Dynasty's rule over the grassland. "Grasslands are difficult to manage because they are born from pastures and the population is mobile. Sun Er believes that there are three main points to change our passive situation. The first is the alliance and flag system, which limits people of different ethnic groups in the Mongolian and Yuan Dynasties to one place. It cannot be mobile. The second is the reduction system, which draws nobles to occupy resources in the grasslands, promotes Buddhism, and lets the bottom herdsmen become monks. The third is the Confucian enlightenment system. In the future, all Confucian elements who break the law will be distributed to the grasslands and let them go to the grasslands to teach .”

Before taking the initiative to speak, Zhu Gaochi quickly said: "This matter must never be done. Confucius wrote "Spring and Autumn" and said: "When the barbarians enter China, China will live; if China enters the barbarians, the barbarians will live. Ji'er's move is to touch the foundation of our Ming Dynasty." .”

Zhu Zhanji said with a smile: "Some things don't need to be said, we just need to do it."

It is simply impossible for those scholar-bureaucrats to go to the grassland to educate them.They can enjoy privileges in the country, so why go to the desert to eat sand.

Zhu Di was also very moved, but he didn't express his opinion. He just said: "I will let the ministers analyze this move. At least the first two, I think it is very good."

Zhu Zhanji also got excited, and explained the policy on the grassland during the Qing Dynasty in detail, but Zhu Zhanji ignored the point of marriage.

The Ming Dynasty was a bastard at the end, but it was also the only country in Chinese history that did not make peace, pay compensation, cede land, or pay tribute.

Although they made many wrong choices, the spirit of the emperor guarding the country and the king dying for the country is an indelible halo in the history of modern China.

Of course Zhu Zhanji will not let himself become a stain, he will only do better.

Finally, Zhu Zhanji said to Zhu Di and Zhu Gaochi: "The emperor's grandfather focused on the grassland, and the father assisted the emperor to stabilize the government and requisition food and grass for the army. The grandson is determined to go overseas, expand the territory for our Ming Dynasty, and fill the national treasury." .”

Zhu Di shook his head and said, "Overseas is very risky, and the son of Ji'er's daughter will not be able to sit down, so there is no need to take this risk."

Zhu Zhanji knelt on one knee and said: "Sun'er is willing to issue a military order. It only takes three years to solve the problem of Japanese pirates in Ming Dynasty. After three years, grandson will contribute at least 500 million silver vehicles to Daming every year."

Although the Ming Dynasty is thriving today, the annual tax of such a huge country is only 2000 million taels, which was only reached during Zhu Di's period.

Zhu Zhanji promised 500 million taels a year, which is a quarter of the annual national tax. Even Zhu Di couldn't believe it.

"Nonsense. National affairs are not something you and other children can speculate at will. Five million taels, isn't it true that overseas is a mountain of gold and silver?"

Zhu Zhanji, relying on Zhu Di's liking for him, was not afraid at all, and replied: "Grandson just tossed around in Ningbo for a while, twice a year in Nanyang, twice a year in Northland, and the annual profit is more than one million taels. If Grandpa Huang authorizes grandson to use the power of the country, let alone 500 million taels, even 1000 million taels, grandson will also have confidence."

Zhu Di was stunned for a moment, looked at Zhu Zhanji, then at Zhu Gaochi, and couldn't believe his ears. "You make more than one million taels of profit every year?"

"Yes!"

"Then I took 100 million taels from you, just your one-year profit?"

"Yes!"

"Then you have been working for more than four years, and you still have 300 million taels in hand?"

"200 million taels of silver, one million taels of fixed assets, and more than [-] taels of gold."

Zhu Di gasped, then slapped his legs and laughed loudly. "I only know that you have made more than one million taels of profit in four years. I thought that you have been hollowed out, but you still have such a rich family. I suffered so much for the capital of the Northern Expedition, but I never thought that there is a Deng Xiaoping by my side." Pass."

Zhu Zhanji said without hesitation: "The grandson is willing to spend all his money to support the emperor's northern expedition."

"Okay, okay, I can't help but be overjoyed to have a grandson like this!"

Chapter 26 What is an Emperor

For Zhu Zhanji, who has become the richest man in the world in modern society, the amount of money is just a number after reaching a certain level.

As long as it doesn't affect his allocation of resources, he doesn't care how much money he has.

In this age, gold and silver are dead things that cannot be eaten or drunk.

As a grandson, the resources in his hands are not comparable to a rich man.
