    ¡°Uncle Xinghe, going out to sea is so wasteful, why do you advocate it so hard?¡±

    An old minister with a gray beard was pushed out by the stars. He pointed his halberd and woke up, shouting: "There is also the Shibo Department, what is that? Do you know that once the Shibo Department is opened in the south, the Ming Dynasty will have to  Move the capital! Do you understand? Shuzi!"

    Fang Xing knew this veteran minister. He was Ni Shuwen, the chief minister of Zuosi Temple in Dali Temple.

    The old man can be called a living library in Dali Temple. He often expresses his opinions on cases by quoting classics and classics, and often refutes his superiors to the point of shame.  In the end, the old man had to be arranged to review the cases sent from below. During this period, he sent back countless cases asking for retrial.

    ¡° Such a respected veteran came out to accuse Fang Xing, and Fang Xing could only salute before replying.

    Fang Xing bowed and said, "Master Ni's words are true, but this is not a place for discussion. Fang will enter the palace immediately. If we have anything to say, we can talk in the court."

    Ni Shuwen broke away the hand that was supporting him and sneered: "Okay, I will ask to see your Majesty right now."

    When the eunuchs from Qianqing Palace came out to tell Fang Xing to enter the palace, Ni Shuwen followed him in relying on his seniority.

    ¡­¡­

    "Move the capital?"

    After hearing what Ni Shuwen said, Zhu Zhanji looked slightly cold.

    It was Zhu Di¡¯s decision to move the capital to Peking, and there were countless people who opposed it at the time.

    But Zhu Di suppressed those objections with a strong hand.

    After Zhu Gaochi ascended the throne, the call to move the capital back to Jinling became louder again.

    "Your Majesty, all the enemies outside the wall are gone. The south is rich and prosperous. If we move the capital to Jinling, I think we can also open a shipping department!"

    Ni Shuwen¡¯s words are very sincere and take into account the interests of all parties. They can be said to be mature words for the country.

    "Master Ni, this is a trap!"

    Fang Xing counterattacked without hesitation: "Let's not talk about the cost of moving the capital to Jinling, just the pros and cons."

    Ni Shuwen turned sideways gracefully to show that he was listening.

    ¡°It¡¯s true that the South is rich, and it¡¯s true that the southerners will benefit the most from opening a shipping company, but we can¡¯t stop eating because of choking, right?¡±

    Fang Xing pointed to the guide and said: "As long as we can go to sea for trade, Fang can guarantee that the taxes will allow Mr. Xia to sit on the gold and silver mountains from now on. As for you saying that if the capital is not moved to Jinling, there is a possibility of separatism in the south. Fang thinks you will  Those people in the south are too capable. It¡¯s not that Fang underestimates them, the Ming Dynasty has ways to suppress the south, such as taxation.¡±

    Xia Yuanji came out and said: "Your Majesty, commercial taxes have been slowly being collected. From the current point of view, the south has the greatest potential."

    Ni Shuwen said: "Uncle Xinghe, taxation is just a means of reconciliation. The differences between the north and the south still exist. One day, people in the south will eat meat and people in the north will eat chaff. I dare to ask Uncle Xinghe, how to reconcile them at that time?"

    "Mr. Ni, the north is not without merit. If you don't believe me, just ask Mr. Wu from the Ministry of Industry how many mineral deposits the north has!"

    The north has the resources urgently needed for industrial development, and there is no shortage of ice-free ports in the north. The key is that the north must maintain its expansion trend in the future.  If the capital is moved to Jinling, it can almost declare that the north of the Ming Dynasty will become an outcast from now on.

    "Mr. Ni, there are large iron mines and large copper mines in the north. They are now open, but the manpower is a little short, so the output is not much. However, the silver mines in Japan and the copper and iron mines in North Korea have produced a lot. This summer  Your Excellency knows."

    Wuzhong has no intention of muddying the waters, so he will simply talk and then go back to class.

    Xia Yuanji is also a veteran, so he said directly: "The minerals in the north are the wealth of the Ming Dynasty. Without those copper and iron mines, where would the swords and guns come from?"

    The simple words contained a threat: Now is the world of muskets and artillery!

    Zhu Zhanji now understood Zhu Di's intention to tighten the expansion of the Firearms Guard.

    He was slightly moved in his heart and wanted to take the opportunity to set the tone for the future opening of the shipping company, but then gave up the idea.

    This is not the time for a big discussion. If the tone is set at this time, Zhu Zhanji dares to guarantee that everyone will not do anything and just wait to argue.

    There are countless examples of this kind of wrangling in history, some of which have spread for many years and brought a country to its knees.

    Governing a big country is like cooking small dishes. If you cook them before the heat is up, they will either be raw or taste wrong.

    Zhu Zhanji¡¯s eyes were dark and he said, ¡°Zheng He is here!¡±

    ¡­¡­

    Zheng He is here, outside the imperial city.

    "Eunuch Zheng, may I ask why you are here?"

    Someone from the crowd surrounding the imperial city asked.

      Zheng He is also old, but he still walks calmly.

    Even though he is dusty, his eyes are still sharp.  After looking around for a week, he said: "Our family is here to go to sea!"

    Silence!

    Zheng He said with piercing eyes: "We have already submitted a memorial, and we are just waiting for the outcome of the negotiations between the DPRK and China. The Ming Dynasty cannot live without the ocean!"

    The Ming Dynasty cannot live without the ocean!

    These words were so resounding that everyone remembered what Zheng He had said.

    ¡ª¡ªIf you want your country to be strong and prosperous, you must not ignore the ocean.

    ¡ª¡ªWealth comes from the sea, and danger also comes from the sea!

    Zheng He nodded slightly and strode to the front of the imperial city.

    "Your Majesty, Zheng He, please see me!"

    He has the qualifications to call himself a minister, but in the past few years he kept a low profile and mostly called himself our family.

    But today¡¯s announcement shows that this legendary figure among eunuchs can no longer sit still!

    Not long after, someone from the palace took Zheng He in directly.

    ¡­¡­

    "many overseas countries, big and small, the charming prisoners said that just opposite them, those big and small countries are fighting, and they are also coveting the ocean, hoping to find wealth from the ocean!"

    "Since the Qin and Han Dynasties, weapons were just swords, bows and crossbows, but what are they now? Muskets and artillery. Look at the Ming Dynasty's treasure ships, they are like a hill on the sea. We can't close ourselves up! Didn't the former Song Dynasty want to defend it? And  But what happened to the huge financial resources brought by opening up the sea? Did we hold on to it?"

    "You can't defend, the best defense is to attack!"

    Fang Xing's voice echoed in the hall. The eunuch who came to report that Zheng He was outside the hall had not yet spoken. Zhu Zhanji nodded, and he quickly turned around to lead the people.

    "You must dare to go out and see the outside world. Those islands and continents are no smaller than the Ming Dynasty. Those places are also not lacking in the things that the Ming Dynasty has! If it is occupied by others, it will take less than a hundred years.  Powerful countries will rise one after another. When the time comes when the Ming Dynasty's outer seas are covered with swarms of scorpions, and the Ming Dynasty's gates are blasted with artillery, what will you say at that time?"

    Huang Huai said: "Uncle Xinghe, what you said is just conjecture. Everyone knows that there are big countries overseas. For example, how old is the Qin Dynasty in the Han Dynasty? Have those people ever been here? As you said,  An attack thousands of miles away and supplies can bring down a big country. How can the Ming Dynasty maintain this supply?"

    Use your spear to attack your shield!

    Many people secretly applauded Huang Huai's words in their hearts, and then looked at Fang Xing, wanting to see how angry he looked.

    Fang Xing smiled and said: "Master Huang underestimated the development of navigation ability. If he didn't say anything else, he said that in the past, navigation relied on Sinan and Qianxing. Later, the academy came up with a sextant, and the navigation direction would become more and more important.  Accurate. Zheng He built a ship in Jinling, and many people know the effect. Soon! After more and more routes are discovered, everyone, building supply stations along the way will not be a problem!"

    Fang Xing glanced at Huang Huai, a little puzzled that he came out to stir up trouble today, and said: "Those places have gold and silver mines, copper and iron mines, fertile land and countless special products. Why did the Ming Dynasty give up on these?"

    Fang Xing's eyes gradually sharpened, he looked around at the ministers and said in a deep voice: "These are the wealth and lands that Ming Dynasty has at its fingertips. Why should we give up? Why?" (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
