    Lao Wang An took what just happened into consideration. For him, it is a good thing for Zhu Youxiao to have more women around him. Although Juliana is a weird-looking Western woman, she is still a woman, right?

    So Lao Wang An threw out a color, and Li Jinzhong immediately took out a pen and paper and placed it respectfully in front of Julianna!

    I saw Juliana writing a poem as soon as she picked up the pen. The beautiful handwriting actually contained a bit of the essence of facial expression. Even Zhang Yan and Ning Xi, two women from scholarly families, couldn't help but nod when they saw it.  commend!

    Zhu Youxiao said in surprise: "I didn't expect that your Chinese characters can be written so well. It shows that you have worked hard!"

    Juliana smiled proudly and said: "My brother and I's Chinese teacher was St. Paul. He said that the most important thing in learning the way of a saint is calligraphy, so my brother and I are practicing calligraphy very carefully!"

    When he heard the name St. Paul, Zhu Youxiao was startled for a moment, and then he remembered that this St. Paul should be Xu Guangqi, Minister of Industry!

    At that time, Xu Guangqi had a good relationship with the Italian missionary Matteo Ricci, and under the influence of Matteo Ricci, he joined the Catholic Church. His Catholic holy name was Paul, so Juliana called him Saint Paul.  Not an exaggeration!

    However, when Old Wang An heard the name, his face suddenly darkened. He leaned into Zhu Youxiao's ear and whispered: "Master, this man named St. Paul is really rebellious. Do you need to find out who this person is in Dongchang?"  Who, what¡¯s the intention?¡±

    Juliana didn¡¯t know that her words had caused Xu Guangqi big trouble. She was still looking at Zhu Youxiao with joy, waiting for him to decide whether to hire her!

    Zhu Youxiao looked at Juliana, and also lowered his voice and said: "I know the details of this person. He is Xu Guangqi, Minister of the Ministry of Industry. His name as Saint Paul was taken after he worshiped the Lord of Heaven.  There¡¯s no need to make a fuss, just ask someone to inform him and ask him to avoid taboos!¡±

    Seeing that Zhu Youxiao didn't care about this kind of thing, Lao Wang An didn't bother to investigate further. He just said yes and retreated again!

    Seeing that Zhu Youxiao and Lao Wang An had finished speaking, Juliana asked with great interest: "Your Majesty, do you think my Chinese studies are very good? I should be able to get that position, right?"

    Zhu Youxiao thought for a while and said: "Your knowledge is considered to be passable, but I want to test your knowledge and ability!"

    With that said, Zhu Youxiao handed Cao Ling¡¯s memorial to Juliana and said, ¡°Look at this first!¡±

    Juliana took the memorial and looked at it briefly, then asked strangely: "Apart from the fact that you have a powerful general, there is nothing wrong with this memorial. What do you want me to do with it?"

    Zhu Youxiao said: "Cao Ling proposed in the memorial to expand the Imperial Alliance Army, but I know that the Japanese are ferocious, and I am worried that if the Imperial Alliance Army is expanded, it will give the Japanese an opportunity, so I am still struggling with this matter. I don't know about you.  Can you give me a good suggestion?"

    After hearing this question that troubled Zhu Youxiao, Juliana was stunned for a moment, then laughed and said: "Oh God! How could such a wise emperor be stumped by such a trivial matter? This is so interesting!"

    When Zhu Youxiao saw Juliana smiling like this, he felt as if he had done something stupid, and he couldn't help but look a little embarrassed!

    Zhang Yan saw Zhu Youxiao¡¯s expression changed, but Juliana was still laughing, and couldn¡¯t help but remind her: ¡°Miss Juliana, it¡¯s a big sin for you to laugh at His Majesty the Emperor like this!¡±

    "Ahem!" Juliana was smiling happily when she remembered who was in front of her. She was so frightened that she choked on her own saliva and couldn't help but cough again and again!

    When Zhu Youxiao saw her like that, he was both angry and funny. He handed her a cup of tea and said, "You also said that you had received an aristocratic education. Could it be that all aristocratic ladies in Europe look like you and crazy?"

    Juliana took the tea cup, took a sip of tea, suppressed her coughing, and smiled awkwardly: "I just think it's incredible that Your Majesty would be stumped by something like that, so I lost my temper. Please don't blame Your Majesty!"

    Zhu Youxiao deliberately said with a straight face: "Since you think this matter is so funny, you naturally have a solution. Please tell me about it. If the solution is good, not only will I not blame you, but I will also hire you as my personal secretary. But if  Your method is not good, not only are you no longer responsible for the personal secretary's affairs, I will also punish you severely!"

    This was the first time Juliana saw Zhu Youxiao being so serious, and she was really taken aback. She quickly saluted and said: "In the final analysis, this matter is how to build armed forces in the colonies. According to the experience of European countries, there are two ways to do this.  The first solution is to find a rival for the local indigenous people, and the second is to bring the colonial indigenous people intoEquip them and send them to other colonies to fight. No matter what method is used, the indigenous armed forces in the colonies can be well controlled, and the most important force to deter the colonies is the strength of the country, so I think as long as the strength of the Ming Empire is strong enough  , then any armed force in the colony can only surrender obediently!  "

    After hearing what Juliana said, Zhu Youxiao couldn't help but slap his head and said: "Sure enough, if we are a threesome, we must have my teacher. Today I have hit a dead end!"

    In fact, the reason why Zhu Youxiao was entangled in the expansion of the Imperial Army was mainly due to the shadow of the Japanese in his heart. He was worried that if he armed the Japanese too much, the Japanese would bite him back!

    But Juliana¡¯s words perfectly illustrate the essence of European governance of colonies, which is to divide and attack and use them in different places, but in the final analysis, the most important thing is that one¡¯s own country is strong enough!

    In the hundreds of years of European colonial history, these two methods were almost always used. For example, when Spain colonized Southeast Asia, because Southeast Asia was too far away from Europe and the terrain was too complex, a small number of Spanish colonists wanted to control the indigenous people of Southeast Asia.  , and found an enemy for them!

    This enemy is the Chinese who immigrated to Southeast Asia. In the history of Spanish colonization of Southeast Asia, there were several planned massacres against the Chinese. It can be said that as long as the resentment of the Southeast Asian natives against the Spanish colonists accumulated to a certain extent, they would  This resentment was directed towards the local Chinese!

    When the indigenous people had almost vented their dissatisfaction with the Spanish colonists by massacring the Chinese, they would obediently accept the rule of the Spanish colonists. This habit was still retained by the Southeast Asian indigenous people even after the colonial era ended!

    Even in the civilized era, there have been many massacres of Chinese people in Southeast Asia. It was not until China truly entered the ranks of a powerful nation that such inhumane things came to an abrupt end!

    As for the methods used in other places, the most representative one is naturally the later British rule of India. India itself is actually the name of a region. There are hundreds of large and small states in the Indian subcontinent!

    When the British colonized India, they relied on the method of letting people from the southern states manage the north, and then letting people from the northern states manage the south, making the entire Indian subcontinent the most dazzling jewel in the Queen of England¡¯s crown!

    In order to solve the problem of insufficient troops, Britain even recruited a large number of troops in India, so that no matter where the British Empire went, there would always be Indian servants wearing turbans behind them!

    Of course, in order to better rule the colonies, European colonists had another good way besides these two methods, which was complete massacre, such as what the British did in North America and Australia!

    Zhu Youxiao, who was enlightened, went through all the colonial methods now and in future generations in his mind, and he had a clue about the affairs of the Japanese country!

    Zhu Youxiao was naturally overjoyed to have his doubts cleared up, and said with a smile: "Julianna can be called my female Zhuge, and this position of private secretary is yours!"

    Juliana held her heart with both hands happily and said happily: "God bless you, my Majesty, you will be glad for your wise decision!" (Remember this website address: www.hlnovel.com
