The Honest Man of the Red Chamber

"Do you know why the imperial court opened the sea ban?" Emperor Yanzai asked again.

Jia Zheng replied, "If I want to come here, there are only two reasons. One is to buy foreign goods, so that domestic products can be more utilized for sales, and focus on local operations. The second is to prevent the exchange of news at the border, so as to avoid troubles among former officials and old people. causing confusion."

"Is neither of these important?"

"important!"

"Then since you know it's so important, you still dare to do such a thing, and dare to say such things as opening the sea ban." Emperor Yanzai said coldly, with a straight face.

"However, the sea ban cannot be opened. For a long time, our country has been self-sufficient, and gradually only knows how to respect itself. How can we know that the powerful enemies in foreign countries are powerful, and we don't know the changes in foreign countries, and we don't understand the economic development of foreign countries. We don't know whether the people's livelihood, people's strength, military strength and sharp weapons in foreign countries will come. Attacking our country? That would be ignorance and ignorance. We will still be complacent about ourselves. Maybe other countries will use ships as sharp weapons to point their swords at our country. Isn't that the same as Yelang's arrogance?" Jia Zheng knew why the emperor He will ask again and again, after all, at the beginning, he couldn't accept the fact that China is not the most powerful and powerful country in the world. From the moment they were born, they all only knew that it was Shangbang, Yang Great country, all nations came to Korea, they never expected that there would be a more powerful and powerful country than them, but they didn't know anything about it.

"Hmph." Emperor Yanzai was very angry, but he spoke so earnestly that he couldn't help but feel puzzled when he played repeatedly.Is it really as powerful as he said?But why had no one else told him?Could it be that he is scaremongering?But what good would it do him to say that?In a distant country overseas, Jia Zheng has never been outside except Jinling and Shanxi, and his ancestors followed the royal family to conquer the world...

Jia Zheng thought about what his wife said, and he must persuade the emperor with the determination to succeed or become benevolent, so he suppressed his fear and continued to boldly say, "Your Majesty, have you ever thought about it? In addition to the early days of the founding of the country, after the later period, there will be factional disputes, and sometimes even before the national strength is stabilized, they will start to fight for the first. Take the first emperor as an example. There are so many crony disputes that even the prince is abolishing and standing. There is a lot of involvement in the imperial court."

"Then what do you think is the reason for this?" Emperor Yanzai was not very angry, it's up to him to say, he had been thinking about it since he was the prince.

"It's nothing more than the word interest! The interest mentioned by the humble official. Not only the corrupt, even the so-called loyal and patriotic will have their own plans and thoughts. People can only read it when they can afford to eat and wear clothes." Poems and books are full of literary talents. Your Majesty, don’t you think so? Soldiers love the country, how can they defend against the enemy if they have no weapons in hand. Natural disasters and famines are ahead, starvation is everywhere. If the local county officials have no food or silver, they are concerned about the people and worry Rufen, how to help the common people? Please take a look at the emperor. Throughout history, the reforms of the previous dynasty were not related to prosperity. The world is bustling and bustling, and those who seek profit!"

"According to you, the businessman is the most important thing?"

"No, your majesty is a sage. How can you be biased? Why are the government affairs of the court gradually divided into six departments? Households, rituals, labor, punishment, soldiers, and officials? Although there are divisions of labor, they are equally important. Farmers plow the fields and raise silkworms. There is food, handicraftsmen make cakes and raw silk, merchants transport east and sell west, the government rationally collects taxes to stabilize the order, the emperor sits in court and asks, and bows down to make peace. In this cycle, why not the national power is flourishing. If it is a single development, or not One of the joys is like a bucket lacking boards, when the water flows out, there must be something lacking.”

Hearing this, Emperor Yanzai couldn't help but nodded slightly in his heart, which was exactly what he thought.

Each performs his duties, each does his own work!

"Heaven and earth have great beauty but don't talk about it. Mingjun has holiness but doesn't sing! I would like to follow the sage, be an unrivaled Mingjun, and exalt the holy prestige." Jia Zheng knelt down and said.

Emperor Yanzai helped Jia Zheng up, and only said one word for a long time.

"Okay." He was a little loyal, so why didn't he believe it? "Do you want me and you to travel the world with a clear decree?"

Jia Zheng knelt down again and said, "I don't dare. I can't guarantee that the situation in Guangdong and Guangxi can be successfully opened, and I can't guarantee that I can live a clean life before this huge profit! Even if I dare to guarantee myself, I don't dare My family and relatives guarantee that the imperial decree is rare, so I ask the emperor to leave this clear decree. I only hope that when the minister is impeached and attacked, and may be deeply involved in being framed, the emperor can take it out and see if he can listen to it. I will explain it to you, and then I will judge whether I can spare the minister!"

"Okay!" Emperor Yanzai agreed, and he really knew how to measure and understand Dali.

"Then how do you plan to carry out work in Guangdong and Guangxi?"

Jia Zheng had discussed this, and he had a good idea in mind, "First of all, we must first understand the people's sentiments and integrate into them so as to develop the place, and then show businessmen with agriculture, benefit farmers with business, and control subordinates with sincerity. Overseas expansion." This can be delayed for at least three to five years!

Seeing Jia Zheng's gentle and moderate behavior, Emperor Yanzai was a little anxious, "Is there still time? Are they already planning to attack?" Emperor Yanzai was a little confused about the powerful enemy described by Jia Zheng. Worry.

He has not experienced a war yet, but he also knows that once the war starts, the people's livelihood and economy will be fought. Now the country is really in disrepair, with empty pockets, how to raise troops to fight?What's more, a powerful country has major weapons, such as huge ships. (Jia Zheng also showed him a pistol, which is even equipped with a telescope that can increase the line of sight. It is so compact that he can see the distance more clearly than his glasses. He also said that this pistol is just a standing weapon for individual soldiers of a powerful country , They are usually also equipped with a Mitsubishi thorn, which is extremely hard, and it can open a hole for bloodletting when the thorn is inserted. I don’t know what materials are added, and it will even make the wounded bleed continuously, and people will bleed to death with a small hole. It’s a pity. He failed to obtain such a weapon, because it is considered a national military secret after all. It is scary to see the big from the small! It is also said that in the other country, there are new types of steel that can be used by ordinary people at home. For example, it can be made into a Objects called springs are used for shock-absorbing travel or for accessories such as clocks and watches. From this point of view, that country must be very powerful! Compared with China, it is also a giant. What worries him even more is the inheritance of education from a powerful country. It is actually the land where the iron hoof treads, it must be the land of our country, and the treasures must be donated to him. When all their princes reach adulthood, they will directly assign an army, and they will create the country by themselves...)

As Jia Zheng said, if the language is difficult and the opponent is strong, if an attack comes, the people will not know whether it is an enemy or a friend, and they will not be prepared, but they have a sharp weapon and blow it up with a single shot. Wouldn't the border defense line be like nothing?Border dwellers, like ants?Since he ascended the throne, he has felt that he is worthy of his heart and that he cares about the people of the country. With such foreign enemies, how can he not be worried?

"Although the situation at sea is unknown, it's not a problem right now. After all, the power of the sea is fair to everyone." Jia Zheng thought, and heard his wife say that he would come back from the Arabian Sea or the Persian Gulf, where the timber is relatively close. It takes about two years.

Emperor Yanzai felt a little relieved, but he also remembered this matter.

The two continued their long talk, and Emperor Yanzai agreed with Jia Zhengxing to open the sea ban, "You can do it with confidence and boldness. As the saying goes, those who clean themselves will clean up themselves. You promise not to change your original intention, just like me. If there are riots in the court, You don't need to listen to it." Emperor Yanzai knew that if he really acted, there would be a bloodbath.

Jia Zheng bowed and bowed, "It is enough to have the trust of the emperor. Those who want to do great things must work hard without fear of hardships and dangers to achieve it. The humble minister must be convinced of the emperor's kindness and generosity, and willingly repay him. "

After finishing the business, Emperor Yanzai asked with a smile, "Now you are always willing to let your daughter meet my child, right?"

Jia Zheng was taken aback for a moment, then smiled and said, "If you go back to the emperor, this matter really does not belong to my minister, but I will definitely go back and discuss it with my wife."

"Hahahaha, well, I understand, I have my own arrangements, you go back." Emperor Yanzai smiled heartily, since Jia Zheng has a strategy, let him go to Guangdong and Guangxi to try boldly, maybe what he said will come true Great results may not be guaranteed, he returned to the dragon chair, thought of the lord of the empire whose name he didn't know, and saluted from a distance, it turned out that the world is so big, there are still brothers and sisters who can fight against me, so please!

Let's see who will go to the other side's border first to have a look!Who is the brother and who is the brother!

Emperor Yanzai was still a little strange. Didn't Jia Zheng dislike his wife?Why do you seem to care about Mrs. Wang?

"Show me, go to the queen's place."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

He also had to discuss it with Zitong, the youngest son might have to be sent out for a few years.

"Old lady Mo, I understand your generosity, but Guangdong..." She is not developed yet, she is at her age, so she can do it!

Before Wang Guizhi finished speaking, he was interrupted by the old lady of the Mo family, "Madam, you can just say, if you want to take our mother-in-law and grandson with you!" She finally understood that life would be easier with Mrs. Wang.When Mrs. Wang was in Shanxi before, she felt that she was living a life of old age and pleasure, but once Mrs. Wang left, the quality of life continued to decline, and finally recovered when she came to Beijing. Mrs. Wang wanted to leave them again No way!

"...Well, why don't you want to." Wang Guizhi explained, "Why don't you wait a while until I make arrangements over there..."

Yes, they have already left.

Seeing the old man walking like flying, Wang Guizhi thought again that his new improved carriage was repaired by other craftsmen, so he shrugged and told Caixia, "Add the names of the Mo family and send a little girl to talk about it. I know exactly how many people there are in total, I think they don’t need us to take care of others, when the time comes, everyone will just go all the way, and you can think about food, so hurry up and tell the kitchen to prepare dry food and vegetables.”

So what, before the soldiers and horses are raised, food and grass must go first, right?

This time when I go back to Guangdong, I will be able to introduce Cantonese-style refreshments. This time, she can choose Aunt Qin and a group of Iron Detachment Women to go to 'advanced study'. What about horse-drawn cakes, crystal cakes, and deep-fried fried crisps? Wait, let her catch all of them. When the time comes, sit in the tea house, drink tea, listen to a little song, eat snacks, and enjoy the sea view. It will definitely be a good day.

The author has something to say: The future reporter asked the descendants of the royal family: May I ask why the ancestor Emperor Yanzai was able to insist on vigorously developing national science and technology and defending the sea along the line with human innovation at a time when transportation was inconvenient and communication was difficult? The first navy in the world, and then the entire world almost dominated the world for hundreds of years?

Descendants of the royal family: According to undisclosed royal archives, the ancestor Emperor Yanzai always believed that he had a very powerful opponent who was stronger than him, and worked hard with this humility.

Future Reporter: Wow, Emperor Yanzai is so wise and powerful. In the absence of an opponent, he actually gave himself a powerful opponent in his imagination, so that he can always stay awake and never be complacent. He is really great up!

Royal descendants: Yes, we will always be proud of our ancestors.

applause~

Wang Guizhi: This is obviously my fame!mine!

Haha, seeing that everyone loves me so much, I wrote a short joke to make everyone happy. There will be more updates today~ Love fish will motivate fish~
