I, Jiajing, successfully cultivated immortality

Chapter 284 Be My Daming's Dog
All the people present heard the meaning contained in the emperor's words, but no one dared to raise objections.

From the moment a son of the clan signed up for the imperial examination, the nature has changed.

Regardless of whether these people have real talents or learning, the imperial court must accept them and let them enter official careers.

Because, this is a model that must be set up, and besides, they are not fighting alone, behind them, there are millions of clan clans of the Ming Dynasty standing!

In order to eliminate the adverse effects of the previous imperial court's reduction of imperial family expenses and the no longer hereditary titles, this part of the price must be borne by the imperial court.

"In order to take care of the overall situation of the imperial court, let's work harder on the candidates, and let Yan Shifan bear the responsibility!"

And this is what the people at Qingliu are thinking at this moment.

Yan Shifan naturally noticed the sympathetic gazes from everyone in Qingliu, but he didn't care about it.

"Hmph, superficial, if this matter is done well, not only will you be able to win His Majesty's favor, but you will also be able to build a good relationship with those clan disciples along the way!"

"However, we must guard against Qingliu's gang secretly making trouble behind our backs."

Yan Shifan narrowed his eyes slightly, and he had already started to make calculations in his heart.

Afterwards, Jiajing coughed twice, drawing everyone's attention to him.

"Ahem, now that the specific matters of the imperial examination have been discussed."

"Then next, we should discuss how to bring the silver mines in Japan's Kyushu region under my control!"

"My loves, if you have any ideas, feel free to bring them up."

Hearing the emperor's words, all the people present looked terrified, and their breaths inevitably became short of breath.

After all, it concerns everyone's interests!

Afterwards, Zhang Juzheng stood up first and proposed to Jiajing.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, I do have some ideas."

Hearing this, Jiajing waved his hand quite casually and said.

"Well, what's Ai Qing's idea, but it's okay to say so."

Zhang Juzheng looked around before expressing his thoughts.

"Wei Chen feels that if I, Ming, want to occupy all the silver mines in Japan, I need to take three steps."

"The first step, Ming Dynasty, must send corresponding merchant ships to the Kyushu region of Japan for trade, and by the way, learn about the local customs, hydrology and landforms, etc., and clear the obstacles for our navy in advance."

"The second step. Your Majesty mentioned earlier that Japan is still in the Warring States Period. The entire country is divided and regions are hostile to each other. My Ming Dynasty can use this to vigorously cultivate rebel forces in the Kyushu region!"

"My Ming Dynasty can not only cultivate rebel forces in the Kyushu region, but if necessary, we can also form alliances with forces that oppose Dayou Zonglin."

"In this way, with intentional calculations and unintentional calculations, under internal and external troubles, this great friend Zonglin must not be my opponent!"

"The third step is also the most important step. If you want to destroy the country, you must first go to its history!"

When Zhang Juzheng said this, he paused and continued to add.

"After the local area is under the actual control of my Ming Dynasty, all the local history will be burned, and then special personnel will be sent to educate the local people, so that they will willingly obey my Ming Dynasty and be my dog!"

"Finally, after the situation stabilizes, we will use the Kyushu area as a springboard to gradually plot the whole of Japan!"

After Zhang Juzheng put forward his strategy, the entire cabinet was silent, and everyone was thinking about the feasibility of this plan.

After a while, Yan Shifan stood up and raised an objection.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, I feel that there are still some flaws in the whole plan."

"Oh, Yan Shifan, if you have any opinions, feel free to bring them up!"

Jiajing withdrew his gaze and ordered so.

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

After Yan Shifan saluted Jiajing respectfully, he added.

"Although this plan seems to be seamless and interlocking, if there is any flaw in any link, all previous efforts will be wasted!"

"Not to mention anything else, let's just take the point of cultivating resistance forces in the local area."

"Right now, although Japan is still in the Warring States Period, the whole country is in a state of fragmentation."

"However, cultivating rebel forces in the local area requires money!"

"Currently, the lives of the common people in my Ming Dynasty are not easy, so how can we use money to fund the local rebel forces?"

"Besides, if the rebel forces cultivated by our Ming Dynasty are too difficult to use, then what should we do?"

Yan Shifan's words caused everyone present to fall into deep thought.

On the other hand, Xu Jie frowned, not knowing what he was thinking.

"That's right, the lives of the common people in Daming are not easy at the moment, so how can we talk about funding the local rebel forces?"

Very rarely, Gao Gong did not object to Yan Shifan's proposal, but followed Ying Hedao.

"Oh, Yan Shifan, since you are aware of this problem, have you thought of any solution?"

Jiajing took a panoramic view of the expressions on everyone's faces, turned his gaze to Yan Shifan, and then asked.

When Yan Shifan heard the words, his face showed embarrassment, so he could only speak timidly.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, I have not thought of a solution for the time being."

And when the discussion was about to reach a stalemate, Xu Jie stood up and respectfully addressed Jiajing.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, I have thought of a solution."

"Oh, Elder Xu Ge has a solution to this problem, let's hear it."

Seeing that Xu Jie had a solution, Jiajing raised his eyebrows and asked with interest.

"My Ming Dynasty doesn't need to spend too much energy on cultivating rebel forces locally. Isn't there a ready-made one in the southeast coast of my Ming Dynasty?"

After looking around, Xu Jie said slowly.

"Old Xu Ge means that I, Daming, can also use the group of Japanese pirates on the southeast coast instead?"

At the same time that Xu Jie made this suggestion to the emperor, Yan Song had already understood what he meant, and asked immediately.

"Well, what Yan Ge said is true, I, Ming, can indeed use these pirates!"

I saw Xu Jie nodded slightly in the direction of Yan Song, which was regarded as approval of Yan Song.

"But... But, the Japanese pirates entrenched along the southeast coast are almost wiped out by Hu Zongxian!"

And Gao Gong at the side, after thinking for a long time, summoned up his courage and said.

"It's okay, kill one batch, and there will be another batch."

"Those people, if they can't survive in Japan, will inevitably take the road of looting."

"At that time, I, Da Ming, only need to show a little favor, and I can firmly control this group of pirates in my own hands!"

"No matter how bad it is, give them a promise, saying that as long as they can accomplish the tasks entrusted by the imperial court well, the imperial court will let them and their families live a good life!"

"As for whether or not to cash in, when to cash in is another matter."

Yan Song glanced at Gao Gong, then added.

After everyone put forward their suggestions, Jiajing began to weigh the pros and cons, and fell into deep thought.

I saw Jiajing's fingers tapping on the dragon chair very rhythmically, making a 'da da' sound.

After a long time, Jiajing came back to his senses and laughed loudly.

"Well, yes, I agree!"
