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

Chapter 397: Overwhelm everything with absolute imperial power!
Yao Guangxiao's expression was more serious than ever.

Because what Zhu Yunxuan said has made Yao Guangxiao keenly see a new pattern, one that will surpass the current era hundreds of years from now!

Just imagine.

If it were hundreds of years later, the navigation technology of all countries would have increased exponentially.

When the vast sea becomes no longer far away.

So whoever can conquer this sea area means conquering the world!And the country that conquers this world will gain endless benefits from it!
Continue to maintain your hegemony!
How terrible would this be?If this kind of maritime hegemony is controlled by a powerful country, I am afraid that Ming Dynasty will never be able to turn around!
Later generations of maritime empires were able to maintain their hegemony for hundreds of years.

It's because of their invincible maritime fleet.

But the reason for its subsequent decline was rooted in the small size of its homeland, which was an island country.

But talk again.

If you were not born in an island country and were born to pursue sea power, where would you have the inner motivation to seek to go to sea?
What about painstakingly studying battleships?
Perhaps, this is a matter of carving and carving, and it has its own destiny.

Although these countries that were closer to the sea and had smaller territories had all the advantages in the era of sea power, when the era of blind pursuit of sea power passed, the world structure was immediately controlled by countries pursuing land power.

to the hereafter.

The real big countries in the world all have vast land areas.

But as long as the land is small.

It can only continue to decline.

After all, in later generations, everyone is chasing air supremacy. With a larger land area, they will naturally have an absolute advantage.

More vast than land is the ocean.

And what is wider than the ocean is the sky!

But in the 28th year of Hongwu, at the end of the [-]th century, it would have been too fanciful to pursue hegemony in the sky. The next few hundred years would still be the era of sea power.

Therefore, Ming Dynasty wanted not to fall behind, or even become the greatest empire.

We must master absolute ocean hegemony!
"Your Highness."

"This poor monk has a plan for this matter, but he doesn't know... whether he should say it or not."

Zhu Yunzhen's eyes suddenly lit up.

He quickly asked: "But it doesn't matter!"

This matter has been bothering Zhu Yunzhen for a long time. Now he finally knows the solution?
But Yao Guangxiao's expression looked very hesitant.

Even started to hesitate.

Finally, under Zhu Yunzhen's constant urging, he said: "Your Highness, the solution is actually very simple."

"In the humble monk's opinion."

"Whether it is so-called land power or sea power, its essence is still the biggest voice in the hearts of the people."

"It represents public opinion to a certain extent."

"But in this land, all land and sea rights are no bigger than one thing!"

"That is the imperial power that His Highness holds in his hands now!"

"My solution may bring infamy to His Highness, but for today's Ming Dynasty, it is the only solution."

"That is to use absolute imperial power to overwhelm all different voices!"

"Forcibly change people's thinking!"

"The people have to go to sea and have to think about going to sea! At the same time, they must go to sea!"

"For the Ming Dynasty, for His Highness, open up overseas!"

Yao Guangxiao's words made Zhu Yunxi suddenly realize it, and it was even an enlightenment!

Suddenly, a steady stream of inspiration began to emerge in Zhu Yunzhen's heart!
It is true that the current Ming Dynasty has no inherent need to pursue going to sea, but Zhu Yunzhen himself has forgotten that in this era of supremacy of imperial power, the emperor's needs are the biggest needs!
The common people have no choice but to obey!

Where do we need to care whether people are willing or not?Just do it!

And wait a hundred years later.

When Zhu Yunxuan was gone, the people of Ming Dynasty had already enjoyed the benefits of absolute sea power.

Naturally, I got the motivation to go to sea!

On the contrary, now I am worrying about here and there. Maybe a hundred years later, the great cause of going to sea will still not be completed.

Then it will all be in vain!

In fact, Zhu Yunzhen should have thought of this a long time ago and used absolute imperial power to suppress all objections!

It's just that Zhu Yunxuan has ignored this.

Zhu Yunzhen unconsciously wanted to suppress his imperial power and restrain himself from using the supreme imperial power. After all, Zhu Yunzhen came from later generations, although he had been subtly influenced by the current era.

But there are still a lot of things deep inside.

When a person knows the future trajectory, it is both a help and a limitation.

Because this is the trajectory of the future when imperial power will no longer exist.

Zhu Yunzhen unconsciously believed that imperial power could not last long and could not be abused. He seriously underestimated the power of imperial power!
In fact.

In today's Ming Dynasty, the supremacy of imperial power is unquestionable!
Zhu Yunzhen is still too conservative and restrained!

Many things can actually be advanced in a more violent way. Anyone who refuses to accept will be killed!And those who surrender will be rewarded!Those who are loyal will be rewarded with great rewards!

Be a tyrant in the Ming Dynasty.

Although the reputation is not good, the actual effect may be far better than being a benevolent king.

So in the end.

Zhu Yunzhen is still too kind!
Even if his methods are as ruthless as possible, he still has nothing to do with the word tyrant. Instead, he more often shows a benevolent appearance.

"So to say."

"Does Monk Dao Yan want to be a tyrant in the future?"

"Use absolute imperial power to promote the development of Ming Dynasty?"

After Yao Guangxiao heard Zhu Yunzhen's question.

First nodded.

Then, he shook his head again.

Seeing that Zhu Yunzhen was puzzled, he then explained: "The poor monk nodded because what His Highness said is absolutely true."

"The poor monk wants His Highness to be a tyrant, make good use of the imperial power, and be more moody."

"It's intimidating."

"This kind of fear will prompt all officials to go to sea in order to please His Highness."

"And the people at the lower levels will naturally go to sea vigorously in order to please the officials above."

"After all it comes down to it."

"The people of the Ming Dynasty are very simple. They will do whatever the government says, and they will not resist when faced with the power of the government."

"But the poor monk shook his head."

"The reason is that His Highness cannot always be a tyrant, at least on the surface, and cannot become a tyrant."

"Your Highness will still be known to the people of Ming Dynasty as a virtuous person."

"It's just that some treacherous ministers joined forces to lure His Highness to go to sea, and His Highness was bewitched by the treacherous man, so he asked the officials below to go to sea."

"But even so, His Highness is still kind."

"We care about the people, give unprecedented rewards, and follow the principle of non-coercion to encourage the people to go to sea."

"Of course, as for what the local government will do specifically."

"Of course it has nothing to do with His Highness. If necessary, just chop off the heads of a few local officials."

"Since then, Your Highness has just made a mistake that most emperors make."

"But even so, His Highness is already wise enough!"

After listening to Yao Guangxiao's words.

For the first time, Zhu Yunxuan felt the word "vicious", and there were four words called "hypocrisy and hypocrisy"!
Yao Guangxiao means.

Isn't it just to make the people suffer?

But we can't let the people know that it is he, Zhu Yunzhen, who wants to suffer the people, but it is a person named "Yan Song" who wants to suffer the people?
He, Zhu Yunxuan, was just confused by the 'Strict Party'!

In essence, he is still wise and benevolent!
Isn't this what Emperor Jiajing was playing?Sure enough, when comparing power with these old foxes, I am still far behind!

only.

What Zhu Yunxian did was different from that of Emperor Jiajing.

after all.

Going to sea is a good thing, and it is a good thing that will benefit the Ming Dynasty for generations to come, and it can benefit all people.

It's just that it can't be reflected for the time being.

But Emperor Jiajing did it for his own selfish desires and enjoyment.

There is no comparison at all.The effects that Zhu Yunxuan wanted to achieve by using power and tactics were positive effects, while the effects that Emperor Jiajing achieved by using power and tactics were all negative effects!
"It's really a good idea!"

Zhu Yunxuan sighed softly.

He began to add: "What you said does make sense."

"But it's not easy to find a candidate for this traitorous minister. The ability is too weak and he can't help Gu achieve his goal of going to sea. The ability is too strong, and Gu has to worry about losing his big tail."

"I'm afraid it will take a while to find it."

But at this time, Yao Guangxiao said again.

"Your Highness, you must be a traitor."

"Loyal ministers can use it too!"

Zhu Yunxuan nodded.

That's right, whether he is a loyal minister or a treacherous minister, what Zhu Yunzhen is actually looking for is a powerful minister who can help him achieve his goal of going to sea. He can use his hands to force officials and people!

This powerful minister is equivalent to Zhu Yunzhen's white gloves.

But if you are a loyal minister, you will have to throw away this white glove when the time comes.

Zhu Yunzhen was afraid that he would be so intolerable.

But sometimes, you have to be cruel!
"exactly."

"As long as you can achieve your goal, even if you have to pay a price, there is nothing you can do about it."

"but."

"Before that, I still have some things for you to do."

Zhu Yunzhen has not yet decided who the powerful official must be sacrificed.

But this time.

However, Zhu Yunxuan can already start the layout in advance.

"Nowadays, People's Daily has become more and more influential. These days, you select some people who have made profits after going overseas to shape their image."

"Publish them in People's Daily."

"And we should focus on showing the different customs, customs and adventures they encountered when they went to sea."

"Do you understand?"

Yao Guangxiao smiled softly.

Said: "The poor monk naturally understands that if you want to attract people to go to sea, you must first let them know how beautiful the world overseas is."

"All kinds of gold and silver treasures are naturally indispensable."

"And having an affair with a beautiful woman is indispensable!"

heard.

Zhu Yunzhen and Yao Guangxiao looked at each other and smiled.

Like an old fox and a little fox.

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

a few days later.

Capital.

In a teahouse or restaurant.

As the new issue of People's Daily was printed, people in the capital had a lot more to talk about.

"Hey! This Cheng Sheng's deeds are so wonderful!"

"I just dared to go out to sea on a broken wooden boat, but I met pirates as soon as I went out to sea."

"After being captured by pirates, he narrowly escaped with his life."

"I also met a confidante in a foreign country, and gained both people and wealth. Since then, I have started a cross-border trade business in the South China Sea."

"What a blessing!"

Now in the capital.

It can be said that everyone is talking about Cheng Sheng's deeds.

since ancient times.

There is never a shortage of listeners for exciting adventure stories.

There is no shortage of talking.

Soon, the teahouse was filled with people, all commenting on Cheng Sheng's deeds.

And for going to sea.

Many romantic fantasies were added to my heart.

at this time.

Many bachelors in the capital who are working as gangsters have begun to think about whether to give the sea a try.

Maybe you can gain both fame and fortune.

How about holding the beauty back?

But the trajectory of Cheng Sheng who finished worshiping Mazu in the morning, set off at noon, and was captured by pirates in the evening cannot be imitated.

Fortunately.

There was also a piece of news published below in People's Daily.

The Ming Dynasty is now vigorously organizing a maritime merchant fleet. As long as people are interested in going to sea, they can join and accumulate experience in maritime trade.

If you really want to go overseas.

The government of the Ming Dynasty also provided two places for the people of the Ming Dynasty to immigrate.

That is in the two places of Annan and Japan.

Not only are the Ming Dynasty's troops stationed there, but you can also enjoy the treatment of superiors in the local area.

Countless beauties from foreign lands are chasing you!

However, most of the people in the capital of the Ming Dynasty now live a prosperous life. Even some gangsters who fight and kill all day long live a life of debauchery.

Let them go and suffer overseas.

It's really not particularly easy.

But at least as the People's Daily continues to publish reports of making a fortune due to overseas trade.

In other words, it is because of the lucky ones who went to sea to colonize overseas and established a powerful force in the local area.

The people of Ming Dynasty also had some thoughts about going to sea.

At least, I also know that overseas is not a deserted area. As long as there is a place where the Ming army is stationed, the people of the Ming Dynasty will be the best.

Anyone can form a local force.

After all, Ming Dynasty’s army is backing you!

As long as you can find a way to bring benefits to Ming's army!
After many people who were originally impoverished died.

It’s no longer the time when the Ming Dynasty had nothing!

a time.

More and more people came to sign up to immigrate overseas, and more and more people participated in colonization.

Although the total number is still small.

But at least there has been improvement.

Ming Dynasty's overseas trade also became more and more active, and more and more ships sailed between Nanyang and Japan.

Many times, there is even a strange sight of a long queue waiting to enter the port.

And here in the court.

Zhu Yunzhen has also begun to look for his own 'Yan Song'!
"This guy Yao Guangxiao just gives me bad ideas!"

"What if we do this."

"I'm afraid my reputation in future generations will be completely ruined!"

"But... if it's destroyed, just destroy it. Let others judge whether it's right or wrong."

"At least, it's impossible for Ming Dynasty to be destroyed in my hands!"

Zhu Yunzhen shook his head helplessly.

He turned around and continued looking for his own 'Yan Song' among the official roster!
At this moment, a name appeared in front of Zhu Yunzhen.

"what……"

"Perhaps... this person can take on the heavy responsibility of 'Yan Song'!"
