I'm only seven years old, Lao Zhu, you let me supervise the country?

Chapter 291 Zheng He sails away again!Get ready to find a new continent!

Manpower is always a country's most valuable resource.

All wealth requires manpower to create. The wealth a country can create is related to both production technology and manpower. The combination of the two is productivity.

Otherwise, no matter how good the technology is.

It won’t work without manpower. On the contrary, if there is no technology, no matter how much manpower there is, it will be useless.

The two can be said to be complementary to each other.

In the current situation of the Ming Dynasty, the upper limit of technology is almost locked. It is limited by too many things. Even if Zhu Yunzhen forcibly raises it, it will not be much higher.

We can only lay as good a foundation as possible and then leave it to future generations to study slowly.

But manpower is different!
Zhu Yunzhen is only eight years old now. As long as the people of the Ming Dynasty seize the time to create humans from now on, they will also improve the medical environment and reduce the mortality rate of children.

The population of Ming Dynasty will soon explode!

In just two to thirty years, it will not be a problem for the population of Ming Dynasty to increase several times!

This was not something that had never happened in Zhu Yunxuan's previous life.

Achieving a population explosion is easy to say, but difficult to do. First, it requires political stability and no major wars.

The second is to improve medical care and avoid excessive premature death rates.

The third is to have enough food, so building a reservoir in Daming to ensure harvests during droughts and floods is even more significant!

Even if the manpower is insufficient, arrangements must be made.

At least, the largest grain-producing areas in the Ming Dynasty must be arranged!
And just when Zhu Yunxuan silently arranged in his mind which places were suitable for building reservoirs.

Suddenly someone came to deliver a message outside the door.

"Your Highness, Mr. Zheng He and Mr. Xu Huizu would like to see you."

It turned out that Zheng He and Xu Huizu were here.

Zhu Yunxu put down the pen and paper in his hand and quickly let the two people in. Zhu Yunxu paid great attention to the Ming Dynasty's navy!

The Ming Dynasty's army was already invincible.

But with this navy, Ming Dynasty has to face not only the navies of other countries, but also many unpredictable storms and waves on the sea.

It’s a real fight with people and heaven!
If you want to truly build an invincible navy, you need to accumulate more experience in maritime navigation and more complete and superior shipbuilding technology.

The Ming Navy has a long way to go!
"My lord, Zheng He has met His Highness!"

"My lord, Xu Huizu has met His Highness!"

Zheng He and Xu Huizu walked into the house and knelt down first.

After Zhu Yunzhen let the two of them level up, he slowly stood up without any intention of taking credit or being arrogant.

Zhu Yunxian was even more satisfied.

"You two came to see Gu today. What are you doing?"

Zhu Yunzhen asked curiously.

Moreover, Zhu Yunxuan often turned his attention to Zheng He and Xu Huizu. Judging from their current situation, it seemed that they had no dissatisfaction with each other.

Zheng He didn't seem to care. Xu Huizu deliberately blocked the navy from asking for help.

On the contrary, they got along quite harmoniously, which made Zhu Yunzhen feel relieved. After all, Xu Huizu was the only army general who could put down his dignity and command the navy.

After Zhu Yunzhen asked, Zheng He immediately replied: "Your Highness, I request to go to sea!"

Xu Huizu added: "Your Highness, the navy is idle now, and Jiangnan Shipyard has built a new treasure ship, so General Zheng and I put it together."

"I want to lead the Ming Navy to sea again."

"General Zheng took the navy that had sufficient experience earlier to go south, along the coast, to the Western Ocean area."

"And I will lead the newly formed navy to patrol the Japanese country and frighten the Japanese country!"

“At the same time, I am accumulating experience in sea navigation.”

"This can be said to be the best of both worlds. It can protect the Japanese country without any risk! It can also allow the Ming Dynasty Navy to play a new role!"

After listening to Xu Huizu's words.

Zhu Yunzhen was slightly surprised, and at the same time a joy filled his heart.

Today's Ming Dynasty requires him to personally direct and plan the direction no matter what. This is really too tiring for Zhu Yunxuan.

It is also easy to make mistakes while busy.

The root cause of this problem is that there are not enough reliable ministers!
Now that Zheng He and Xu Huizu could think of this by themselves, Zhu Yunxuan couldn't help but feel very pleased.

"very good!"

Zhu Yunxuan praised it: "The idea you two have is really good. If you practice it more now, it will be of real use in the future!"

"This matter will be done according to what you said."

"Mr. Wei Guo, I am very happy that you can change your ways sincerely. Please remember that you will learn more from the Marquis of Donghai. You will definitely be useful in the future."

"Don't be arrogant!"

Although Xu Huizu asked himself to be a soldier, it was impossible for Zhu Yunzhen and Zheng He to really ask him to be a soldier.

Not to mention this is a waste of talent.

Given Xu Huizu's status, it was impossible for Zhu Yunxu to treat him like this.

After Xu Da, King of Zhongshan.

If he was really allowed to be a soldier and other nobles looked at him, wouldn't they think that he, Zhu Yunxian, was heartless and unrighteous?

At that time, the support of these nobles was lost.

Zhu Yunzhen is missing a big arm in the court!At least people like Lan Yu are supporting him now!

This is also one of the key factors why Zhu Yunxuan dared to raise the butcher's knife against a group of civil servants.Zhu Yunxuan would naturally not destroy the Great Wall himself.

After giving instructions to Xu Huizu, Zhu Yunxuan said to Zheng He: "When you go to the West this time, please remember that the West is too far away from the Ming Dynasty, so the main purpose is to promote the prestige of the Ming Dynasty."

"Along the way, we will eliminate pirates and other forces that harm the country and the people."

"At the same time, bring more goods and trade with Western countries to let them know that there is a prosperous country in the east."

"There is gold everywhere! This will attract more ocean-going merchants to come here!"

The Western Ocean is too far away, and the Ming Dynasty is not yet able to stretch its hand to such a long place.

In order to truly bring the Western Ocean under its control, the Ming Dynasty had to truly build a fleet that could travel to all seas and be invincible in the world.

By then, the entire sea area will be under the control of Ming Dynasty!
Why worry about them being disobedient?

As for now, the role of the navy is more to eliminate pirates along the way, open up trade routes, and make trade within the Ming Dynasty more abundant.

More products from other countries will also help increase the vitality of Ming's domestic market.

"Yes!"

Zheng He's answer was concise and powerful, which made Zhu Yunzhen feel relieved.

He was always at ease when Zheng He was doing things.

Both ability and loyalty can stand the test!

After getting Zheng He's answer, Zhu Yunxi suddenly pointed to a map behind him and asked, "Do you recognize this map?"

Zheng He and Xu Huizu took a look.

Recognized immediately.

They all said in unison: "This is a map for all nations!"

Zhu Yunxuan nodded.

Said: "Yes, this is exactly the Wan Guo Kan map, but this map is more detailed than the map circulated in the capital."

"As you can see, the terrain of our country makes it inconvenient to go to sea."

"Although there are large areas of excellent ports, going east is almost an endless ocean, while going west, you have to pass through a large area of ​​Ming Dynasty's own territory."

"Further back, there are a number of small countries. This protruding area requires a detour, which is quite inconvenient."

“To truly reach the Western Ocean, the journey is too long.”

Zhu Yunxi vividly drew a line on the map with his finger.

Immediately afterwards, Zhu Yunxuan put his finger on the western continent.

Said: "But the people of the West are different. You see, there are many excellent ports in their territory, and to the east, there is an endless continent."

"To the west, you only need to cross a sea area many times smaller than our Ming Dynasty to reach a new continent."

"And to the south, it's the same thing."

"In other words, when they go to sea, it is almost equivalent to touching three continents at the same time. The east, west, and south are all places that can be explored to their heart's content!"

"So, with the location of the Western Ocean, it is convenient to go to the sea."

"It will definitely become a thorn in the side of the Ming Dynasty in the future! When we wait for the Western Land to integrate the resources of the three continents with strong ships and cannons, what can I, the Ming Dynasty, do to resist it?"

Although the Ming Dynasty is vast.

But there are borders. To the north is an endless desert, which is basically useless for a farming and civilized country like the Ming Dynasty.

Even after industrialization, there are actually very few uses.

To the west, there is a high mountain, which is blocked by natural obstacles and difficult to advance.

To the east is the widest sea area in the world!
And to the south... it's basically an archipelago, and there's nothing useful to be found.

Just go to the southeast, and there is a fertile continent that can be used.

But looking at the West, it's different. The southeast, northwest, and west are all continents!And it's not far from them. As long as they go to sea, the resources of these continents are simply waiting for them to pick them up!

Such conditions are simply too convenient!

That's why Zhu Yunxuan was in a hurry to go to sea, because with the conditions in the West, it would be very fast to catch up.

By then, no matter how well he builds the Ming Dynasty.

As time goes by, it may also be slowly wiped out by the West relying on its geographical advantages!

And this is something Zhu Yunzhen never wants to see!

After actually sitting in his position, Zhu Yunzhen realized that if he wanted to change the fate of the Ming Dynasty and reverse the situation of the world, what he had to do was really not at 01:30...

"This..." Zheng He was greatly shocked.

He had never thought of this!He has always looked at other countries from the perspective of the Ming Dynasty.

With the vastness of the Ming Dynasty, it is invincible even across the world.

But I never thought that although Ming Dynasty was big, from the perspective of the entire world, it was not the most advantageous position!
At the same time, I admired His Highness the Grand Sun even more in my heart.

How can I overlook the world from such a high perspective!

This is no longer something ordinary people can do!Even if I ask others to think about it for 1 years, I’m afraid they won’t be able to figure it out!
"I will definitely build an invincible navy for the Ming Dynasty!"

"Conquer the world for His Highness!"

"Invincible!"

Xu Huizu also said loudly: "I am the same!"

Zhu Yunxi nodded in satisfaction.

Morale is available, the Ming Navy is worry-free!
