Father, I really don’t want to be the emperor

Ning Fan looked at Qin Ying with a sigh. He didn't expect Qin Ying to have such deep feelings for navigation.

After sending Qin Ying away, Ning Fan opened the map and looked at it again.

He frowned, with a thoughtful look in his eyes, and used a marker to draw some marks on the map from time to time.

There is no doubt that the British have the upper hand, and as a rising star, if Dakang wants to develop, it must live in the shadow of the British. If Ning Fan wants to break the situation, he must start from the geopolitical aspect.

There is no doubt that the Rakshasa Kingdom is a nail for the English in the Eastern Kingdom. If Ning Fan wants to completely unify this area and combine all the forces, he must use the Rakshasa Kingdom as a nail. Remove it.

Fortunately, Dakang of all dynasties has been operating in this area of ​​the Eastern Kingdom for thousands of years. He has enough connections, a big enough reputation, and a group of younger brothers who can respond to everything.

The English are strong enough, but Ning Fan also thought of another way to break the situation, which is to establish a federal system and join the other countries.

In the Eastern Kingdom, this continent has more than forty countries, large and small, and Dakang, as the largest country in the region, naturally has to exist as a leader.

To establish a huge union republic and integrate all these loose resources, it is necessary to unify resources and unify characters.

Thinking about problems alone always makes me feel tired. In the afternoon, Ning Fan called Zhou Qun over again. The two discussed it for a whole afternoon. Many points were rejected and re-examined.

"Your Majesty, I still think that the plan of joining the country is somewhat undesirable. You must know that there are hundreds of people of all kinds, and their hearts must be different if they are not of my race."

"Although there are dozens of countries in the Eastern Kingdom, large and small, most of them are vassal states of our Dakang, but if they are to be included in our Dakang's local territory and all surrender to Your Majesty, then their local Can some stubborn forces accept this condition? Even if it gives them too many benefits, can it be compared to them as the king of the mountain? "

"If we have to build such a loose alliance, it would be better to build a more cohesive community of interests."

Zhou Qun pointed at the map carefully and explained to Ning Fan, and Ning Fan suddenly understood after hearing Zhou Qun's explanation.

"Yes, I am still dreaming about the age-old dream of one emperor. In fact, I am overestimating my capabilities. As you said, there are hundreds of people in the world. Instead of establishing a loose and superficial grand alliance, It’s really better to build a community of interests.”

Ning Fan nodded, agreeing with Zhou Qun's idea, but this plan was difficult and slow to implement, and it might not be effective in a short time.

"It seems that these things need to be slowed down, but we don't have to do nothing at the moment. The most important thing right now is to spread the culture. As long as the culture is spread, these small countries that are affected by our culture will always be far away. Don’t open our basic market.”

A smile appeared on Ning Fan's lips.

As for Ning Fan's idea, Zhou Qun also supported it 100%. He felt that what Ning Fan said was very reasonable.

The language and culture are common. As long as there are unified values, it is impossible for England to make a difference in the Eastern Kingdom.

"Our first step is to spread the newspaper. Our Dakang newspaper can be seen in every place and corner of these countries."

"The second step we need to do is to popularize papermaking, print a large number of some of the essence of our Dakang culture and promote it, and set up more academies in Kyoto so that all the noble children from these small countries can come Come and study at our Dakang campus.”

"In this way, we can increase the foundation of our Dakang's outstanding talents. If these people are willing to stay as students, then it is naturally the best. If they are not willing to stay and are willing to go back, then at least they can become close to our Dakang." After all, these people are all descendants of nobles and have more or less say in their country, which will be of great benefit to us in the future. "

Ning Fan was making a lot of calculations, but Zhou Qun was listening with joy.

Only those who are in the game know how subtle Ning Fan's strategy is, and how every step is interconnected.

"His Majesty's ideas are wild and unrealistic, but they are so effective that people have to admire them."

Zhou Qun said excitedly.

"These things seem out of control and will not yield any benefits in the short term. We still have to do them."

Ning Fan also touched his chin and smiled.

"But don't be distracted by these trivial things and tie up too much energy. In fact, for us at the moment, we still have to be strong ourselves. We must strengthen our country step by step and improve our comprehensive national strength step by step. In this way That’s the kingly way.”

Ning Fan said it again. He talked about improving industrial strength, chemical fertilizers, pesticides, etc.

"I have communicated with Shen Mengxi about the specific technology of chemical fertilizers. It is mainly extracted from coke and then used to make it through a high-temperature and high-pressure blast furnace. Although today's technical means can only make some rough fertilizers. Fertilizer, but it’s enough to increase yields.”

"Of course, large-scale breeding technology can also produce a large amount of manure. These fertilizers are also of great benefit to our centralized and large-scale planting operations. Of course, these require careful study and the introduction of some new policies."

Ning Fan wrote down a list of things to do in the future on a piece of paper, while Zhou Qun listened intently. After Ning Fan finished speaking, Zhou Qun thought of something.

"Your Majesty, our industrial products are best-selling, almost unstoppable sales wherever we go. Even the British are secretly buying our cloth, glass products, etc."

"Of course, the profits of these industrial products are not the highest at the moment. In fact, the highest profits are guns and gunpowder. These are the highest profits, because where there are people, there will be contradictions, and where there are contradictions, there will be wars. The whole There are dozens of countries, large and small, in the Eastern Kingdom, and there are constant frictions all year round. They all have a need to buy these arms, and the prices they give are often very high. "

Zhou Qun tentatively expressed his thoughts to Ning Fan. He felt that the imperial court could relax the export restrictions on arms a little. You must know that before, guns, artillery and other things were absolutely not allowed to continue to leak secrets.

"Now is the time for us to spend money, and we don't have to worry about so much. As long as we have the latest technology, we can eliminate some old technologies and sell them to countries in need. Of course, the price needs to be raised a bit. ”
