Daming Zhu Di: Father, why aren't you dead? !

Chapter 170 The Ming Dynasty!Qunying is put into Liaodong! (8.4K [-]-in-[-] please subscribe!)

World nuclear peace.

The moment these four words hit his ears, Ji Boying's eyes subconsciously twitched.

At this moment, he even had the urge to take off his invisibility, become holy, and beat this kid up.

"Go back first."

In Ji Boying's eyes.

Zhu Shizhen, the late emperor who was already almost crazy, did not hesitate. He raised his hand and pressed the crystal button in the sandalwood box.

Neither Lao Zhu nor A Biao figured out what was going on.

At least, they haven't figured out what the box means, and why their lives are instantly overturned as soon as they press the diamond-shaped crystal button.

Is it so magical? !
When Lao Zhu and A Biao reacted again, they had returned to the familiar elegant room on the top of the pavilion.

"Um?!"

As soon as the three people appeared, more than 20 people came into view.

Ji Boying glanced at the 20 or so people, then glanced at the fallen door panel at the door, and frowned.

Forget it about eavesdropping, the door is packed open for me?
"Who broke it?"

"Stand up yourself."

The immortal master spoke out.

draw.

Everyone stood in unison and took a step back.

Only the three fat men were stunned. Just as they were about to retreat, they found that more than a dozen hands were holding them back, forcing them to be pushed forward.

'You bunch of unfilial descendants!You’re cheating your ancestors! ! '

"Master Immortal, we were wrong."

The three fat men gritted their teeth and bowed in unison.

No way, except for the three Zhu Di, the three of them are the senior ones.

As the saying goes, if the sky falls, those with seniority will hold it up.

"After class, fix it."

Ji Boying glanced at San Pang and left a few words. Ji Boying said no more about this matter.

Take a deep breath.

Ji Boying couldn't help but frown as he recalled what he had just seen, his expression showing a bit of solemnity.

To be honest, Ji Boying never expected that in the later generations of Hongwu time and space, the divine power would appear to suppress the imperial power, and even force the emperor to the point where he would detonate a nuclear bomb and die together.

Of course, the reason why this happened was also related to Zhu Shiqi's crazy character. That kid was not a normal person at first glance.

Looking at it this way, the succession system for the crown prince that has been established since the Hongwu year is likely to have some problems as time goes by and hundreds of years later.

'Theocracy. '

Thinking of these two words, Ji Boying couldn't help but frown a little tighter.

When he initially decided to embody theocratic power, his core purpose was to implement various institutional reforms, and he did not take into account the series of disadvantages that would arise after embodying theocratic power.

In other words, I didn't expect this shortcoming to occur at all.

Because what Ji Boying thinks is that although he has embodied divine power, he will not use this divine power to rule the people, let alone interfere with the imperial power, and will not use this divine power to shape and imprison people's hearts. 's cage.

This embodied divine power is essentially just to help the imperial power better control the officials and better unite the people. This is completely different from the papal divine power in the European Middle Ages.

However, there was one thing he overlooked.

The corrosion of time, and the evil of the human heart.

When he embodied divine authority, the Ming Dynasty ushered in the era of divine authority.

Moreover, the opening of this theocratic era was based on the strong support of the imperial power and the premise that the imperial power was willing to bow its head under the divine power.

As time goes by, decades, hundreds, and hundreds of years, the idea that divine power is superior to imperial power and that imperial power is a believer in divine power must be deeply rooted in the hearts of the people and become the subconscious mind of all people.

Over time, loopholes will inevitably be taken advantage of by those who are interested and will try their best to seek personal gain in divine power.

At first, it may fail or be suppressed, but with repeated attempts, the scale will inevitably grow larger and larger.

Whenever there is a mediocre ruler in power, whenever there is a period of political turmoil, and whenever such thoughtful people succeed, something similar to a sect will appear, and when it reaches a certain scale, it will sweep away fallen leaves like the autumn wind. Generally, they quickly capture people's hearts at the bottom and expand rapidly at a geometric doubling rate.

You must believe that just because the people are intellectually enlightened does not mean that people are not easy to be deceived, otherwise there would not be so many highly educated people being cheated.

What's more, the divine power of Hongwu's descendants has been passed down in the empire for hundreds of years. This is an extremely terrifying time figure.

Over hundreds of years, vicissitudes of life, and passed down by dozens of generations, the divine right has penetrated deeply into the hearts and minds of the people.

These sects all worship Xuanqing, the great god of enlightenment, and they preach and attract people under the banner of the god of enlightenment.

Xuanqing's divine right to educate Tianzun was recognized by all the imperial powers.

When a sect reaches a certain scale, even sending troops to suppress it becomes impossible.

Who do you suppress?

We are all believers of Xuanqing Jiaohua Great Heavenly Lord!

Once you send out troops, it will be tantamount to violating the ancestral ways and disrespecting the great god of education, and you should be punished by heaven.

And to a certain extent, the entire royal family, including the emperor, are followers of the Xuanqing Jiaohua Tianzun.

As for the teachings, it is even simpler, because today the emperor is unruly and the emperor cannot bear the suffering of the people, so he specially issued a decree and ordered us to rescue the people and teach the emperor to return to the right path.

Hundreds of millions of people are devoutly under my Xuanqing religion and worship the Great Heavenly Lord of the Xuanqing religion. Do you, the royal family, want to rebel against the Great Heavenly Lord? !
Once the empire formed this pattern, divine power and imperial power stood on opposite sides of each other.

At this time, the divine power has completely lost its original intention of being embodied.

The next process is a game between imperial power and divine power.

And because the ancestral legal system has established the order in which divine power overrides imperial power.

so that.

In this game, the imperial power has actually been at a disadvantage from the beginning, and will most likely lose in the end.

Even though the imperial power holds the decision-making power over all matters in the empire, the divine power captures the hearts of the people.

As temples, localities, people, and the army are gradually preached by theocratic power, and as theocratic power is interpreted by all kinds of people with evil intentions, if it doesn't work for one generation, then it will take two generations, if it doesn't work for ten years, then it will take a hundred years, and the imperial power will eventually be eroded.

"You all saw it just now."

Ji Boying swept across these emperors and princes.

The door was squeezed open, indicating that these princes and princes of the Ming Dynasty had all seen through the real-time projection live broadcast what happened when Ji Boying took Lao Zhu Abiao to the future of Hongwu.

The voice fell.

Everyone looked solemn and nodded. They didn't understand what was going on at first. It wasn't until they heard Zhu Shiqi's last confession that they finally understood the problem.

"Tell me what you think."

Ji Boying sat by the window, tapping his fingers, there were two more cups of tea in front of the desk, one of his own and one of Lao Zhu's.

As for the others, including A Biao and the three Zhu Di, they were all standing in the house at the moment.

However, when Ji Boying asked, everyone remained silent.

Even Abiao, the top student who always answered questions most actively, frowned and remained silent at this time.

It is normal for the emperors and princes to have this reaction.

Because divine power is derived from the body of an immortal master.

They couldn't make an evaluation of the immortal master. They couldn't put the blame on the immortal master, and they would not be able to hang out in the class in the future.

Especially Emperor Xuande. At this time, Emperor Xuande frowned more and more. He originally expected the immortal master to come to his dynasty to support him and teach hundreds of officials and people.

But now, my heart is shaken.

"Lao Zhu, what do you think?"

Ji Boying picked up the teacup and took a sip, then looked directly at Lao Zhu, who was sitting opposite him.

"Brother, we can't say anything about this."

Old Zhu frowned.

"In that case, then listen up."

Ji Boying took a sip and then drank it all.

Then he stood up and put his hands behind his waist. The heat waves from the floor-to-ceiling windows blew in and rolled up the broken hair on his forehead. The sunlight fell on his body like a bright ray.

When everyone heard this, their expressions were startled. They adjusted their breathing and stared at the immortal master.

"First, we need to confirm one thing."

"That is the purpose of introducing divine power into the Ming Dynasty."

Ji Boying's expression condensed slightly as he scanned the crowd in front of him.

"The introduction of divine power is to implement subversive reforms in the system, to unite all people in the world, and to unite the Ming Dynasty with one belief."

"On the surface, although it is the divine right of the emperor, the actual core lies in the fact that the divine power exists to assist the imperial power in governing the people."

"So, if this is guaranteed, then introducing divine power is still useful."

Ji Bo Yingzai thought about this point carefully.

It is undeniable that when the divine power is introduced into the Ming Dynasty, the cohesion generated in the hearts of the people will reach an unprecedented cohesion effect, which will be of great advancement for the rule of the imperial power.

To give a simple example, if a new policy is implemented through imperial power, it may take ten years to implement it.

And if the divine authority is added and the premise that all people have the same faith is added, then this new policy may be implemented in one year.

This is the power of faith and unparalleled powerful execution.

"So what we have to do now is how to avoid the risks to future generations brought about by the introduction of theocratic power, how to avoid the role of theocratic power being tampered with by thieves, and how to eliminate the evil people in future generations who will use the name of theocratic power to fight against the imperial power, or even seize the imperial power and the country, and cause chaos in the country. Disaster for the people."

These words made all the emperors and princes shocked.

Say it.

Ji Boying walked towards the outside of the house, and Lao Zhu quickly stood up and followed.

"Go downstairs."

Ji Boying walked out of the elegant room at the top of the pavilion.

The emperor and prince on the 20th followed closely behind him, and everyone walked down the mahogany stairs.

After going downstairs, Ji Boying and Lao Zhu stepped onto the podium, and the other students quickly took their seats. In just a few seconds, they were all seated.

No one wanted to waste time. They all wanted to know what to do to ensure that they could get the benefits of divine power without letting future generations suffer the backlash of divine power.

All of them looked solemn, and their eyes fell on the immortal master, waiting for the immortal master to answer their questions.

Ji Boying walked towards the rice paper on the panel, raised his hand to pick up the pen on the pen holder, and stared at the rice paper in front of him in silence for a few seconds.

Then, he raised his hand and dropped the ink, and the pen moved like a dragon or a snake.

As dragons and phoenixes danced, eight more characters appeared on the rice paper: "Unity of politics and religion, unity of god and emperor."

In fact, the earliest integration of politics and religion in this land was the Zhou Dynasty.

The Zhou Dynasty destroyed the Shang Dynasty in the name of Heaven, and at the same time established the country in the name of Heaven. The kings of Zhou Dynasty in the past dynasties called themselves the Son of Heaven. When they ascended the throne, they first offered sacrifices to Heaven. This is actually the concept of "Unity of Heaven and Man".

Of course, the 'people' mentioned here refer to the previous Zhou kings.

However, in this kind of integration of politics and religion, the Zhou Dynasty did not realize the divine power, but chose to blur the divine power, so it did not receive the benefits brought by the divine power.

This was also one of the many reasons for the collapse of the late Zhou Dynasty. There was no unified belief, coupled with the feudal countries, hundreds of schools of thought, and the impact of foreign races, over time, it naturally fell apart.

"in short."

"Let the path of those who have a treacherous heart in future generations be completed in advance, so that those who have a treacherous heart will have no way to go."

Ji Boying took back his pen and placed the pen holder.

He put his hands behind his waist, then swept over the group of emperors and princes, and said.

"First, in the name of the royal family, establish the Xuanqing State Religion and preach it to the world. The Xuanqing State Religion is the only and only legal sect in the Ming Dynasty. Pope Xuanqing is the only incarnation of the Xuanqing Religion Great Heavenly Lord in the human world, and his status is sacred. The supreme inviolability.”

"Second, define Pope Xuanqing in the form of a call. Pope Xuanqing is not only the pope of the Ming Dynasty, but also the co-revered pope of all the vassal states under the Ming Dynasty. In the future, all the thousands of vassal states that surrender to the Ming Dynasty must Only after receiving the papal decree can one succeed to the throne."

"Third, when the crown prince of the Ming Dynasty ascends the throne in the future, he will automatically inherit the position of Pope Xuanqing. The Emperor of Ming Dynasty is the Pope of Xuanqing respected by all countries, integrating imperial power and divine power into one body."

"Fourth, anyone who wants to be an official in the future must first join the Xuanqing religion."

"Fifth, all believers in the religion need to pay a certain amount of silver as teaching fees every year."

"This is to govern the country with religion, to govern the country with one religion, and to highly integrate the divine power with the imperial power. In this way, we can completely prevent future generations from taking advantage of the divine power."

In this way, even the ideology of the feudal state can be unified.

In fact, when a country's territory expands, especially when its territory expands, ideology is the most important if it wants to manage it firmly.

Lao Zhu's eyes lit up, he slapped his thigh and stood up suddenly.

"Brother's words!"

"Excellent!"

After listening, Old Zhu Di took a deep breath and blurted out four words.

"The Ming Dynasty."

These four words came out of Old Zhu Di's mouth and fell into the ears of all the emperors and princes. Everyone became inexplicably excited, and their hearts were filled with excitement.

The emperor also has upward pursuits.

From the emperor of one country to the pope of all countries, and no longer having to be God's son, this feeling sounds very refreshing.

"I'll give you half a cup of tea to understand what I just said."

"After half a cup of tea, this practical observation lesson will begin."

Ji Boying secretly breathed a sigh of relief. He said so much in one breath and had to take care of logic. He was also tired.

After saying this, he sat back on the master's chair and sunk his eyes slightly.

I spent half a cup of tea thinking about the Hongwu descendants I just quickly visited to see if there were any other obvious problems that could be corrected.

As soon as the words were spoken, all the emperors and princes started talking, obviously very excited.

It can be seen that they all want to go back and give it a try.

Compared to just being the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, they felt that being the pope of all nations would be more enjoyable. The thought of transforming the Ming Dynasty from a dynasty into a divine dynasty that controlled all nations was even more exciting.

"Master~"

This is the time for free discussion in the classroom.

Xiyu stepped forward at the right time and offered a cup of tea.

"This is Kuding tea made by the slave for the master. It has the effect of clearing the head and clarifying the state of mind." It must be said that Xiyu is careful and observed that Ji Boying was in low spirits.

"It's work."

Ji Boying took the Kuding tea from Xiyu's hand with a smile and drank it all in one gulp.

Then, after taking a long breath and closing his eyes for a while, he handed the teacup back to Xiyu and stood up.

When the immortal master stood up, all the emperors and princes who were still talking about it consciously closed their mouths and focused on the line of words on the rice paper.

"On-the-spot visit to the first-generation empire on which the sun never sets - Spain"

Everyone is somewhat excited.

Although they are the supreme emperor and the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, except for playing with the Yangtze Horse in the palace and receiving a few foreign envoys, they have never been abroad at all in their lives.

It was my first time to go abroad for inspection. In addition to being excited, I was also somewhat nervous.

"Before you go on a field trip to the Spanish Empire, you need to clarify one question first, that is, what do you want to get from this course."

Ji Boying's eyes swept across the people on the seats.

The voice fell.

"I know."

Wu Zong Zhu Houzhao stood up with excitement.

"It's to learn from Franji's successful experience and use this successful experience for my Ming Dynasty!"

Among all the emperors, the most excited was none other than Wuzong Zhu Houzhao.

Zhu Houzhao is extremely interested in the overseas world. Otherwise, he would not have taken the time to become proficient in five foreign languages: Mongolian, Arabic, Portuguese, Japanese, and Korean.

The Portuguese among them is actually the French language.

Spanish and Portuguese are essentially Latin languages ​​and are basically interoperable.

"No."

Ji Boying glanced at Wu Zong Zhu Houzhao.

There is actually nothing to learn from Spain's successful experience. Ji Boying has already said what needs to be said.

The reason why Spain has been able to achieve the goal of never setting the sun for a generation is mainly due to the trend of the great voyages, and thanks to the emergence of Isabella I, the great queen who worked hard to lay the foundation of the Spanish Empire.

Thanks to Isabella I's active exploration of the ocean, yearning for the New World, and desire for a powerful empire.

And from then on, Spain became a pig on the wind, riding the wind straight to the ninth heaven.

Pigs can fly into the sky, but how to land in full swing is a technical job.

The Spanish Empire and Great Britain are two living examples.

"The issue we want to explore on this trip is the failure experience of the Spanish Empire."

"Compared to how the Spanish Empire became such that the sun never sets, the reasons for its decline are worthy of your warning."

"You know French, so you can act as a translator for this business."

Ji Boying gave Wu Zong Zhu Houzhao a "come on" look.

"Don't worry, Immortal Master. With me here, communication will not be a problem."

Wuzong Zhu Houzhao patted his chest.

At this time, Hongzhi Zhu Houzhao also stood up.

"Master Immortal, I can also translate!"

Ji Boying glanced at everyone one last time and made a final decision.

"Set off."

...............................

AD 1618 (the 46th year of Wanli).

In 1580, it annexed the Kingdom of Portugal and all its colonies, placing all of Latin America under Spanish control, and the Spanish Empire reached its unprecedented peak.

At this time, Madrid was the capital of the Spanish Empire.

An ordinary street.

There were more than 20 people wearing different clothes walking among the crowd, which attracted people's attention.

There are actually Han people in Spain, but I have never seen any Han people dressed like this.

"Brother, is this really the capital of the Spanish Empire in its heyday?"

Lao Zhu walked beside Ji Boying and scanned the surrounding scenery, frowning subconsciously.

This was completely different from the prosperous Kyoto where the sun never set in his imagination.

At a glance, he saw that the residential buildings were in dilapidated condition, and the streets were full of beggars begging for food, thieves looking for targets, and women with most of their clothes open, trying hard to attract customers, and there were many bargaining.

However, even the little bee Zhu Zaijing shook his head when he looked at the sallow, thin, malnourished appearance.

"Well, this is Madrid."

"The territory controlled by the Spanish Empire during this period reached the scale of the direct rule of ten Ming dynasties. It was indeed at its peak."

The territory directly controlled by the Ming Dynasty for a long time was 300-400 million square kilometers.

Even when Lao Zhu founded the country, although he controlled a territory of more than 500 million square kilometers, nearly [-] million square kilometers of it belonged to the Jisi ruling area and was not directly ruled.

"Eighty percent of the world's gold and silver today is mined by the Spanish Empire."

“The wealth of one country can reach the whole world.”

Old Zhu Di, who was walking on the other side, frowned when he heard this. He also felt very confused about what he saw in front of him.

"The Immortal Master said before that Spain has seized countless silver from the Americas and its national power is so strong. But since its national power has reached such a strong level, why do the people in the imperial capital live in such hardship?"

Ji Boying paused slightly and stopped in front of a small vendor selling wood. The others following him stopped.

"Ask him the price of a hundred pounds of firewood."

He glanced at Wuzong Zhu Houzhao.

Wuzong Zhu Houzhao smiled.

I thought to myself that the foreign language I had learned from Frankie for so many years was finally put to use today.

"Don't worry, Immortal Master, I'll take care of it."

Wuzong Zhu Houzhao stepped forward, and Hongzhi Zhu Houzhao also followed him and began to talk to the owner of the small stall.

The two of them squatted in front of the vendor and chatted a lot.

Anyway, Ji Boying couldn't understand a word.

However, one can see that the stall owner looked confused, as if the communication was not going smoothly, but in the end, he completed the communication through sign language and a few barely understandable words.

Wu Zong Zhu Houzhao stood up, frowning, and had deep self-doubt. He suddenly felt that the foreign language taught to him by the Franji woman in the Leopard Palace was fake.

For example, I clearly said 'no' just now, but the boss looked angry, as if he had scolded him.

'Are those Franji girls scolding me every time? ! '

Thinking of this, Wu Zong Zhu Houzhao felt angry in his heart, but he could not get angry. He suppressed it for the time being, thinking that he would go back and ask these Franji girls for details.

"Master Immortal, let me ask clearly, one silver dollar and two hundred catties of firewood."

"Oh, then it's not expensive."

Xiao Zhusi said thoughtfully.

With a slap, Lao Zhu slapped him directly on the back of the head.

None of these emperors and princes have experienced hardship, so they don't know the price of a load of firewood, but Lao Zhu comes from a poor family and he knows.

"During the Chongzhen period of the Ming Dynasty, one tael of silver could buy fifteen tons of firewood, which is equivalent to [-] kilograms of firewood. And this Spanish silver dollar, one silver dollar is about half a tael of silver."

As soon as Ji Boying said these words, everyone suddenly knew what was going on.

After comparison, one tael of silver from the Spanish Empire could buy four tons of firewood, while in the late Ming Dynasty, it could buy fifteen tons. The price difference had nearly quadrupled.

This shows how high prices in the Spanish Empire have soared.

At this time, Emperor Hongzhi Zhu Youtang was dragging Zhu Houzhao, the supervisor of Hongzhi, in front of a stall selling trinkets. He seemed to want to buy some exotic things as a souvenir for a business trip and take them back to his Queen Zhang.

After all, Zhu Youtang hasn't slept in his wife's bed for many days since he beheaded the Zhang brothers.

At this moment, Ji Boying was preparing to take these emperors and princes to other places.

Suddenly, the crowd rioted.

A large wave of Spanish soldiers rushed from both ends of the street, and their target was obviously Ji Boying and his group.

been reported.

Ji Boying glanced at it, his mind changed, and everyone disappeared from the place in an instant.

The vendor who had just been taken away by Zhu Youtang was stunned, looking at the empty stall in front of him, and was filled with anger.

Hawker:! (I haven’t paid yet)! Fuck! You! Shit!

After all, Spain and Great Britain are both major maritime trade countries that are not far apart. It is normal to learn a few words of Great Britain's English.

..............................

In Hongwu time and space, the main hall of the Drunken Immortal.

When Ji Boying and others returned from Madrid, most of their faces looked solemn.

Obviously.

This short trip to Spain was completely different from what they imagined.

They originally thought that they would see a prosperous empire and a prosperous empire, but what they saw was an empire where the people were in dire straits.

It just so happened that the people were in dire straits, and it happened during the period when an empire was at its most powerful.

The stronger the empire, the poorer the people.

"Master Immortal, if our Ming Dynasty succeeds in achieving the goal of never setting the sun, will it be like the Spanish Empire?"

Emperor Hong Xi frowned and couldn't help but speak out.

"Given the current status of Ming Dynasty's unification and the many reforms we have made before, there is a high probability that it will not happen."

Ji Boying's words made all the emperors and princes feel better.

"However, if we don't learn from experience and don't take precautions in advance, there is a certain chance that Ming Dynasty will follow Spain's path of decline."

Suddenly, the princes and princes felt better and felt better.

After all, there are sixteen time and space, and the probability of collision is to hit one.

Ji Boying's Guo Zuo mission is not to allow any time and space to be lost.

"Listen carefully."

The voice fell.

All the emperors, princes and princes are united.

Ji Boying took a breath and then continued.

"What I'm going to talk about next is a summary of the failure after Spain set sail."

"Failure is the mother of success. Compared with Spain's successful experience, you should keep these failure summaries in mind."

"First, since the Spanish Empire discovered silver in the Americas, it has not taken any measures to deal with the silver. Instead, it has allowed the silver to flow into the country without curbing it. Silver inflation has been rapid, resulting in extremely serious price increases."

"I have emphatically mentioned this to you when I talked about the silver expansion plan before. You must control the phased inflow of silver in the country and stabilize prices within a controllable range."

"Second, when the local industry and commerce were overwhelmed by the large amount of silver flowing into the Americas, the Spanish Empire began to import a large amount of foreign products. This is equivalent to digging up the silver with the left hand and spending it all with the right hand. In the end, there was no accumulation and it was used as a wedding dress for other countries. "

"Remember the difference. This is different from our silver expansion plan. Ming Dynasty's silver economic expansion was to actively inject large amounts of silver into other countries' economic industries under the premise of force deterrence, in order to control the economic lifeline of other countries."

"Third, the aristocracy's crazy plundering of silver. All the silver the Spanish Empire seized from all over the world flowed into the private pockets of the royal family and nobles. These massive amounts of silver were not used to develop national industry and promote national progress. It became the capital used by the royal family and nobles to squander overseas.”

"Fourth, the Spanish Empire was essentially a co-governing federation composed of multiple kingdoms. Each country managed its own finances and there was no unified financial management system."

"Fifth, the influx of massive silver made the decision-makers of the Spanish Empire infinitely more confident. In the 140 years since the mining of American silver, they have been in the midst of wars with many countries and the suppression of colonies for 130 years."

Having said this, Ji Boying had no intention of stopping.

Continue.

"Next, remember the following points and be careful to avoid them in the future expansion of silver."

"One, here, I want to emphasize it to you again."

"After you obtain a large amount of silver from Japan or South America, while investing silver into the country, you must measure domestic productivity, gradually put the incremental silver into the private market in batches, and test the silver saturation of domestic productivity. When ascertaining After reaching this saturation level, we will suspend the inflow of silver into the private sector and wait for productivity to rise before investing again.”

"Second, make Taicang, the Ministry of Accounts, independent from the Ministry of Accounts, and establish the Ming Dynasty Royal Silver Head Office, which is responsible for national silver functions, including market investment and construction of silver, as well as the budget system for foreign silver expansion, etc."

"Third, control large-scale transactions from the mainland to overseas, try to achieve stable overseas transactions, and achieve positive growth of silver within the internal circulation, rather than flowing out of overseas in large quantities."

"Fourth, during the Great Voyage's Silver Expansion Plan, minimize military conquests. You must remember that any war is not the purpose of the Ming Dynasty. You must keep one thing in mind. What we want is the other side's. The lifeblood of the economy, rather than blind land expansion.”

Say it.

Ji Boying took a deep breath.

There was only so much he could think of now. Fortunately, he had prepared lessons in advance.

As the Immortal Master finished speaking, the entire main hall fell into silence. Everyone, including Xue Babiao, was thinking deeply about what the Immortal Master had just said.

At this time, Abiao suddenly stood up.

"Since land expansion is mentioned, let me add something for the Immortal Master."

"Blind territorial expansion is not necessarily a good thing in fact. Manpower and material resources, educating local indigenous people, and suppressing local rebellions are often a thankless business. As the immortal said, what we want is The ready productivity of that land, rather than wasting national power on that land.”

Ji Boying glanced at A Biao with a look of admiration.

Ah Biao's ability to think proactively and his attitude as a teacher seems to be almost perfected. In the future, he can try to leave some less important content to Ah Biao.

After a short silence.

"Before get out of class ends, there's one more thing."

Ji Boying glanced at the Emperor and Crown Prince present.

After finishing his words, his thoughts started to change. In an instant, Old Wanli and Zhu Changluo disappeared from their seats.

Moreover, in one thought, the timeline of Wanli time and space slipped by one and a half months.

Furthermore, in the main hall, figures appeared one after another.

Chang Yuchun, Lan Yu, Qi Jiguang (Longqing), Yu Dayou (Jiajing), Zhu Gaoxu (Jianwen), Zhang Fu (Yongle), Zhao Fu (Chenghua), Wang Yangming (Zhengde)...
