Chapter 197 Drinking with You
"Besides."

Having said that, Zhu Zhanji suddenly paused.

Then he said with unprecedented solemnity: "In foreign countries, there is a treasure that everyone in the world is crazy about. With this treasure, my nephew can guarantee the prosperity of China for 500 years!"

"On the contrary, if this thing is left to a foreign country, within 500 years, my Huaxia will be bullied by the foreign country, the mountains and rivers will be broken, and the people will be ruined!"

Zhu Zhanji's words were convincing, as if he had already seen such an ending.

After hearing Zhu Zhanji's words, both Zhu Gaoxu and Zhu Gaosui showed serious expressions.

No matter what the two princes were like in the past, it is still difficult to accept when they hear what happened to the people of the Ming Dynasty in the future.

After all, what flowed in their blood was Huaxia's blood, the old Zhu's blood.

However, apart from their indignation, the two of them were even more puzzled about what kind of treasure could be praised so much by their eldest nephew.

After all, as a person who follows the old man Zhu Di to conquer the world, both Zhu Gaoxu and Zhu Gaosui are very clear about it.

In this world, it doesn't mean that you can get what you have.

Instead, it has to be beaten down bit by bit with the sword in hand.

But they also knew that their eldest nephew would not just talk nonsense.

That being the case, I'm afraid the treasure he said is not trivial.

Thinking of this, Zhao Wang Zhu Gaosui didn't hesitate too much, but just like the Han King Zhu Gaoxu, he cupped his hands at Zhu Zhanji and said: "Your Majesty, I would like to follow the order, what do you want me to do, tell me!"

Hearing this, Zhu Zhanji also picked up a cup of tea and said to the third uncle: "Then my nephew, I will thank the third uncle on behalf of the world."

Having said that, Zhu Zhanji immediately ordered someone to take the world map rewarded by the previous system.

Then he began to explain to his two uncles and uncles on the map.

And he briefly introduced the territory of the Ming Dynasty and the situation of the whole world, and finally, he told the biggest secret in his heart.

middle East!

The place where oil may emerge from any hole you dig.

Petroleum is the most important raw material in the entire industrial age.

Without oil, everything is in vain.

Owning oil is the lifeblood of the entire industrial age.

Only in this way, in the next few hundred years, the Ming Dynasty can flourish for hundreds of years as Zhu Zhanji just said.

Even if the Ming Dynasty is gone, the dynasty that will succeed China in the future will continue to stand on top of the world.

Accompanied by Zhu Zhanji's continuous explanations, Han Wang Zhu Gaoxu and Zhao Wang Zhu Gaosui were also obsessed with listening.

As for those messy knowledge, as King Han and King Zhao, they naturally don't have much interest in doing it. After all, in their view, these are small tricks.

It's what the courtiers are going to do.

And for characters like them, as long as they master the people in the world well.

But when Zhu Zhanji said that there are so many countries in this world, so many countries that they have never heard of, and so many beauties of all kinds, rare treasures.

The two princes who were born in the army were suddenly overwhelmed.

Of course, as the princes of the Ming Dynasty, they must know more or less about the situation outside the Ming Dynasty.

After all, Zheng He's voyages to the West were not for nothing.

But what Zheng He knows, how can it be compared with Zhu Zhanji, who has experienced the era of information explosion in later generations.

Zhu Zhanji can talk about everything big and small, in the sky and on the earth.

In this way, this opened a skylight for the cognition of the two of them.

A window to see the sky full of stars.

And once they have seen the stars all over the sky, they are now two people who have enjoyed the blessings of the world. In their eyes and hearts, they can't let go of such trivial matters.

My mind is full of only the sea of ​​stars.

At this time, Zhu Zhanji also stated his ultimate goal. Following the straight line he drew when explaining to the courtiers and officials, he swipe on the map again and said, "From here, I will In the land of Annan, all the way to the west, you can go directly to the place where the treasure is hidden."

"As long as we can open the commercial roads of foreign countries along the way, we can continuously transport treasures back from there."

Hearing Zhu Zhanji's light words and that casual swipe, although Han Wang Zhu Gaoxu and Zhao Wang Zhu Gaosui were thinking about the so-called treasure in their hearts, they were even more impressed by the sight and harmony of their eldest nephew Zhu Zhanji. momentum.

You must know that with such a casual stroke, he was planning several countries on the way.

According to Zhu Zhanji's introduction just now, there are several powerful states along the way.

Even if the national strength is not as good as that of the Ming Dynasty, it is still on the opponent's territory after all.

Fighting there is completely different from fighting in the territory of the Ming Dynasty.

This is not like fighting in Mobei, where their transportation lines can still keep up.

But when we get there, there are several countries in the middle, how will the materials be transported.

The entire logistics line will be surrounded by the enemy.

Even if it means defeating all the states along the way, you can't wipe out everyone on the other side, right?

Not to mention morality and human relations, even if you want to, it is absolutely impossible to do it.

How many troops will be used, and how many people will be needed to investigate.

Just thinking about it makes my scalp tingle.

But as long as people don't die, the road will never be peaceful.

However, they also know that what they can think of, Zhu Zhanji must be able to think of it.

Although they are all outstanding generals, if nothing else, just what Zhu Zhanji did in Mobei back then is enough to be on an equal footing with them.

That being the case, they naturally wouldn't really underestimate this eldest nephew.

Can think of the difficulties in the middle, but still so casual and confident.
This is not arrogance.

For a while, both Han Wang Zhu Gaoxu and Zhao Wang Zhu Gaosui were shocked by Zhu Zhanji's ambition.

The mood is quite surging.

After all, if everything is really done according to what the kid Zhu Zhanji said, then what they are doing now is really the first time in the world.

Its merits are by no means inferior to Qin Shihuang's unification of the world.

At this time, Zhu Zhanji suddenly smiled and raised the teacup in his hand, and asked the two uncles in front of him: "You two uncles, would you like to complete this plan with your nephew?"

Hearing this, Han Wang Zhu Gaoxu and Zhao Wang Zhu Gaosui looked at each other. Although they didn't say anything, they both bent down and picked up the tea cups on the tea table, and had a drink with Zhu Zhanji.

After a while.

Zhu Zhanji stood at the gate of Qianqing Palace with a smile, looking from afar at his second uncle Zhu Gaoxu and third uncle Zhu Gaosui who were gradually leaving.

It wasn't until they disappeared from sight that Zhu Zhanji let out a long sigh.

tired.

too tired.

Although he was impassioned and passionate when he said those words, it was not the first time that Zhu Zhanji said such words.

Even if what he said was the truth in his heart, what he expressed was true.

But there is no way.

This is the tragedy of being an emperor.

Even if you are telling the truth, you are speaking from your heart.

But if you say such things too much, you feel false.

It seems to be deliberately fooling people.

But it doesn't work if you don't say it.

Standing at the gate of Qianqing Palace, Zhu Zhanji rubbed his forehead, and then looked at the huge palace from a distance.

He muttered in his mouth: "Old man, you just left as soon as you said you were going, why are you so anxious and took my father away, don't you mean to torment me on purpose?"

After all, he felt ridiculous, shook his head helplessly, turned around and walked into the Qianqing Palace behind him.

After Zhu Zhanji turned around and entered the palace, Zhao Quan, who was standing behind Zhu Zhanji in front of the palace just now, glanced at the new emperor and sighed in his heart.

As the emperor's personal eunuch, Zhao Quan served the two monarchs.

He is also the person who knows these two monarchs best in the world today.

Just seeing the appearance of the little emperor, for some reason, Zhao Quan suddenly recalled the scene of the old emperor more than ten years ago.

At that time, the emperor seemed to often sigh and sigh without knowing why.

At that time, he was not as shrewd as he is now.

He was still puzzled, as the emperor, where did so many worries come from.

After all, this world belongs to the other party, so what can't you get?

It's not an exaggeration to describe it with your heart.

Living like this, what else is there to sigh?
Jiangshan, beauties, power, wealth, you can get what you want, and what is worthy of the emperor's sentimentality.

But after being with the old emperor for decades, and now serving the new emperor, Zhao Quan also understood some things.

After all, although Zhao Quan was just an eunuch, he was the eunuch next to the emperor after all.

How could the energy he possessed be comparable to ordinary people.

But he was also like this. After so many years of life, he realized that there are some things that even the emperor can't satisfy.

It's the world, it's the world.
Zhao Quan also sighed, turned around and hurried into the palace again, and waited at the gate of Zhu Zhanji's inner hall.

And at the gate of the main hall of the Qianqing Palace, the behavior of the emperor and Zhao Quan, Eunuch Zhao, was also like fate, leaving deep doubts in the heart of the little eunuch at the gate.

Spring to autumn.

As if in the blink of an eye, the palace that was originally full of spring is now a scene of cool autumn.

Withered and yellow leaves float with the autumn wind.

It dangled in the air and fell down.

Left a withered yellow color all over the ground.

At this time, Zhu Zhanji was still standing at the gate of the Qianqing Palace. On his shoulders, he had already put on a thin robe because of the cool autumn.

During these few months, Zhu Zhanji's feet seemed to be tied to the floor tiles of the palace, and he never took a step away.

If it had been changed when the old man was around, I am afraid that the old man would be the first to jump out and wonder if this kid's head was caught like his second uncle.

It was absolutely impossible to see such a thing in Zhu Zhanji earlier.

But now, even Zhu Zhanji himself seems to be used to this kind of life.

Every day when you open your eyes, you are in the palace, but when you close your eyes, you are still in the palace.

Most of the people around him were familiar faces.

Compared with familiarity and habit, Zhu Zhanji prefers to describe his current situation with numbness.

Of course, Zhu Zhanji's persistence in the past few months has not been without rewards.

The navy that Yang Shiqi was ordered to form at the beginning has now begun to take shape, and the ships built by the Ministry of Industry have already come and gone like dumplings in the surrounding waters of the entire Ming Dynasty.

Countless amounts of gold and silver are being transported back from the land of Dongying towards the territory of the Ming Dynasty.

In just a few months, the tax revenue of the coastal ports of the entire Ming Dynasty has already reached [-]% of the annual fiscal revenue of the Ming Dynasty!

Seventy percent!
This item alone increased the finances of the Ming Dynasty by [-]%.

Although this is the meat that the imperial court deliberately released from the mouth, and even most of it was eaten by those who own the fleet of sea ships, this was originally one of Zhu Zhanji's plans.

So it's not a pity.

On the contrary, such a number is enough to show that the trading volume of private sea ships in the Ming Dynasty is constantly rising, and it can even be described as crazy growth.

After all, compared with this number, it is the income of tens of millions of people in the entire Ming Dynasty.

Although so far, such a plan has not brought any positive advances to the Ming Dynasty, it seems that only those who own sea ships have a good taste.

But even at this moment, it is not true that it is not helpful to the Ming Dynasty.

Nowadays, the number of civil sea ships in the Ming Dynasty has increased. Although most of them are civilian and commercial, due to the large number and the establishment of the Ming Dynasty Navy, it is constantly increasing.

The Japanese pirates who once caused a lot of trouble to the Ming Dynasty completely disappeared under such a situation.

In fact, these Japanese pirates were not originally the regular army of Japan. Most of them were Japanese people who could not survive and were begging for their lives.

The reason why these people can cause a lot of trouble to the Ming Dynasty.

The most important point is that they are at sea.

In addition, the Ming Dynasty had a long coastline and insufficient monitoring capabilities, so it was difficult to completely clear these people out.

As for the people along the coast, because there are no ships, it is impossible to cause any damage to these people.

But now it's different.

Not to mention that they were unlucky, they were encountered by the navy of the Ming Dynasty, even if they met some larger fleets of the Ming Dynasty, their results would not be much better.

Those people's ships are still too small compared to the ships of the Ming Dynasty.

The Ming Dynasty itself was full of martial arts virtues, plus the order to punish bandits issued by the court.

A Japanese pirate at sea can get a reward of one hundred taels from the imperial court.

In this way, there is no way for those Japanese pirates to survive.

Now let alone attacking the frontiers of the Ming Dynasty, it is too late to escape.

Run slower, and the head on the neck will be chopped off for money.

Except that the maritime industry in the southeast coast is developing and growing according to Zhu Zhanji's plan, the technology, scale, quantity and output of the shipyards in the territory.
They are also making continuous progress.

At the same time, after the imperial court possessed enough gold and silver as expenses.

The development of the Annan area in the south is also proceeding rapidly.

Especially for military related industries, it is growing rapidly.
