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

Some dross has been completely removed, and today's textbooks only compile some simple, easy-to-understand, philosophical articles.

"Your Majesty, if I were not limited by my current status, I would really like to spend a few years among this young lady."

Xue Qingqing said with some emotion.

In fact, Xue Qingqing is just a girl under the age of twenty. She was forcibly locked up in the inner courtyard of the palace when she was young. Xue Qingqing sometimes inevitably feels resentful.

People outside the palace walls think that the life inside the red walls must be wonderful, but only those women who are deeply imprisoned within the palace walls know how boring life in the palace is.

"I am not restricting you from going out. If safety can be guaranteed, you can move freely in Kyoto, and even go to school."

Ning Fan suddenly realized that several women in his harem were still locked in the inner courtyard of the palace for a long time. According to the royal system and rules and regulations, these women could not easily walk out of the high palace walls.

With the development of the times, Ning Fan felt that this system should be abolished.

"Your Majesty, I heard that Shen Mengxi and the others are currently working on something called film. They are studying film every day. They have also invented a thing that can absorb people's souls on paper. Can you take me to see it? "

After visiting Fangcao Girls' High School, Xue Qingqing suddenly became interested in cameras. In fact, cameras are still in the process of research and development, and the technology is not yet mature. However, as a concubine in the palace, Xue Qingqing has a very good news channel. Unusually, I didn't know where I was, but I heard that Shen Mengxi and the others were tinkering with things like cameras.

"I can take you to see it, but that doesn't take away people's souls. It's just a technology that leaves images."

Ning Fan kept explaining to Xue Qingqing along the way. When the carriage stopped at the entrance of a magnificent research institute, Ning Fan pulled Xue Qingqing into the institute.

This is a research institute called the Light and Shadow Research Institute, which specializes in researching technologies such as video cameras and cameras.

The engineers who heard that the emperor was coming to the research institute took it seriously and waited in the courtyard early. However, when Ning Fan proposed to use the camera under study to view, these engineers were a little embarrassed. .

With the current research progress, at most we can take a picture of a person's shadow, but it is still impossible to form an image.

Just half a month passed in a blink of an eye, and Xue Qingqing was dragging Ning Fan around almost every day during the half month since she came to Jiangnan.

"Your Majesty, the English finally couldn't bear it at sea and began to block our trading partners. They strictly prohibited any ships from entering or leaving our offshore waters. This means that the entire maritime transport is now completely blocked by the English."

Veteran minister Song Chengzhou hurriedly came to Ning Fan's palace and reported the news to Ning Fan.

In fact, although Ning Fan had never heard of this news before, he had already guessed that it would be such a result. The English people were absolutely unwilling to give in. Their hegemony was weakening. They would definitely jump over the wall at the last moment and fight even if they were trapped.

He tried every possible means to provoke Dakang and provoke anger. This was just the English's method. His purpose was to induce Dakang to spend his national power on a decisive battle with the English at sea, and this fell into the English's conspiracy and tricks.

"Your Majesty, although they lose a lot of money every day, the English have also lost the right to collect taxes. They are killing one thousand enemies and losing eight hundred to themselves, and they will die together with us."

Song Chengzhou was so angry that he slapped the table and stood up.

Ning Fan didn't care, he smiled, slowly picked up the tea cup and took a sip, then smiled and said to Song Chengzhou: "Don't be angry, Mr. Ge, our trade quota at sea is only to support the customers around us. That’s all, it’s not about making money. The other party has cut off the money now. It’s not us who are anxious, but the people who have been cut off.”

After hearing Ning Fan's slow analysis, Song Chengzhou slowly calmed down.

"Your Majesty, whether it is national power or military capability, Na Yingjili has long been unworthy of his reputation. He is no longer the overlord at all. Why should he still compete with us? It is not good to quietly withdraw from the world and become a rich man. Why bother looking for death?"

Song Chengzhou was a little confused, because the current comprehensive strength of Dakang was obviously much stronger than that of the English.

When he saw that Song Chengzhou, an old minister, was confused, Ning Fan finally smiled. He shook his head and analyzed carefully and said: "Being the eldest brother is not just something you can do if you want to. There are a group of younger brothers behind you. Well, if the interests of these younger brothers cannot be protected, then these younger brothers will suddenly turn against each other, and the former eldest brother will be bitten to pieces by these vicious dogs. "

"This is the situation that the English people are facing now. Even if he wants to withdraw from the world and return to his homeland of England, he can't be a rich man. After all, there are a bunch of white-eyed wolves who want to eat meat behind him."

Ning Fan explained the root cause clearly in a few words, which made Song Chengzhou shudder.

International politics and domestic affairs are completely different things, and Ning Fan's research and skills in international politics are definitely not comparable to ordinary people.

Often Ning Fan can think of three, four or even ten moves ahead for his next chess move. A move he buried a few years ago often suddenly explodes in power, surprising the English people. These are Song Chengzhou's feelings for Ning Fan. Reasons to admire.

"In any case, this Englishman is doomed. Should we, Da Kang, take the route of domination in the future? This will all be decided by Your Majesty."

There was a worried look in Song Chengzhou's eyes. After all, the land in Dakang was enough for Dakang's people to thrive. Even the overwhelming wealth was of little significance to today's Dakang.

"Master Song, in your opinion, what should we do? Do we want to colonize the world like the British did, fight everywhere, seize territory, and then enslave the local people and let these local people contribute their blood and sweat to them?"

Ning Fan saw Song Chengzhou's attitude on this issue, and Ning Fan really wanted to see what Song Chengzhou thought.

"Your Majesty, if I take my opinion as an old minister, it is natural to follow the British path of domination. But just half a month ago, I received a letter from Wang Tianjiang, in which Wang Tianjiang talked about Views of the future.”
