Luo Xin looked at Zhou Xian again, and said calmly: "You said they are scholars? Are they still worthy of being scholars? Do they still have the courtesy, righteousness and shame of scholars? Don't say that they are not worthy of being scholars, they are not even worthy of being human beings. "

After the words fell, he shouted at the guards: "What are you waiting for? Do you want me to do it myself?"

"Hula..."

When the guards heard what Luo Xin said, they were really scared, they stepped forward and grabbed the thirty or so people and dragged them outside.

"Luo Xin, you traitor, you are not good..."

Those thirty or so people cursed loudly. Cui Hao, who had taken a step forward but wanted to plead for love, stopped and his face was livid with anger.Just like what Luo Xin said, people who don’t know how to be grateful, such ungrateful people, let alone scholars, are not worthy of being human beings.Fang Zigen and Zhou Xian were also pale with anger.

Soon, the heads of those thirty or so people were brought up. Looking at the bloody heads, there was silence in the hall.The faces of the civil officials were all pale, but the military officers became excited one by one. They felt that Luo Xin did not lift the civil officials high like Daming did, and trampled the military generals firmly under their feet.They feel that the spring of generals has come.

After the tide ebbed, only Luo Xin, Luo Ye, Luo Sheng, Fang Zigen, Zhou Xian and Cui Hao were left in the main hall.Looking at the five people in front of him, Luo Xin exhaled lightly and said:
"Do you think I've done too much?"

The five people looked at each other, Fang Zigen said softly: "Your Majesty, I feel that a wise king should give my ministers a chance to reform themselves."

"Do you think what I have done is not the way of a wise king?" Luo Xin leaned his back on the chair and asked softly.

"If you don't teach, you will call it a fault!" Fang Zigen said: "They have committed a crime, but His Majesty has never been to Taiwan, and he cannot get along with his courtiers day and night. When they make mistakes, they have no chance to be corrected by His Majesty."

Speaking of this, the voice lowered again: "Your Majesty killed them when he first arrived in Taiwan, which is too much."

"If you don't teach, it's a fault!" Luo Xin nodded and said: "You are right. But, do you really think I didn't teach them? Above the hall, I taught them, but they have lost the ability to be human. This kind of person cannot stay, and staying can only be a disaster."

Speaking of this, Luo Xin paused, and said to Luo Sheng and Luo Ye: "Do you know why I have always resisted being emperor?"

"Why?" Luo Sheng couldn't help asking, even Fang Zigen, Zhou Xian and Cui Hao couldn't help looking at Luo Xin.

"It's actually not difficult to be a good emperor. As long as you have kindness in your heart, you won't be a tyrant. But such a good emperor is not a blessing for the common people compared to the civil and military officials in the court. Therefore, if you want to be It is too difficult for a good emperor to be an emperor who wants to make a career."

"Want to be a good emperor, but also want to make a career?" Luo Sheng asked softly.

"Yes!" Luo Xin stood up from the chair and said, "Let's go to the Imperial Study Room. Let's talk while drinking tea."

When they came to the imperial study room, six people were seated, and someone came up to bring tea.Luo Xin continued what he said just now:

"Actually, as far as the court is concerned, Emperor Jiajing of the Ming Dynasty is considered a good emperor now. He doesn't care about anything. He wholeheartedly seeks the way. Leave everything to the civil servants. But look, the world has become chaotic. What's it like?"

"If an emperor wants to achieve a career, realize his ideals, make the country he built prosper, and the people live and work in peace and contentment, he must control everything in his hands. A country can only have one voice. However, Daming shouted The slogan of the royal family and the scholar-officials co-ruling the world was released. The literati of the Ming Dynasty swelled to the extreme. Throughout thousands of years of history, there has never been such a strange phenomenon. Therefore, if an emperor wants to become a generation of Ming masters, since considering the The interests of civil and military officials above the court must also be considered for the common people under the court.

too tired! "

"Forget it, let's not talk about it. I once said that people never live for themselves. Since I let you follow me, I will always give you a piece of world. Fang Zigen, Zhou Xian, Cui Hao."

"The minister is here!" The three stood up, Luo Xin waved them to sit down, and said: "I killed those thirty or so people, will it not affect the construction of Taiwan?"

"That's not true!" Fang Zigen said: "They didn't help much before, but it was a waste of help."

"That's good!" Luo Xin nodded, looked at Luo Sheng again and said, "Cousin, who are you going to let Cuiqiao go with?"

Luo Sheng pondered for a while and said, "Let my father go."

"Okay!" Luo Xin looked at Luo Ye and said, "Uncle is going to meet Xu Hai, be more careful."

"Don't worry, Your Majesty, the old minister will fulfill his mission."

"Your Majesty!" Luo Sheng said suddenly, "Can you get another one of that telescope? There is one now. My father and I take turns using it. This telescope is really important at sea."

Luo Xin nodded and said, "I'll figure out a way." Then he looked at Fang Zigen and the three of them and said, "My cousin already told me about the military affairs on the way here, so please tell me about the government affairs."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Fang Zigen, Zhou Xian and Cui Hao successively told Luo Xin about the government affairs and various aspects of Taiwan's construction. Hearing that everything in Taiwan is flourishing and well-organized, Luo Xin couldn't help being overjoyed, and turned to Fang Zigen, Zhou Xian and Cui Hao. Hao three people said:

"Thank you three."

"Don't dare!"

The three said in unison, but then Fang Zigen showed hesitation on his face, and Luo Xin smiled and said:

"Brother Fang, what's the matter?"

Fang Zigen said softly: "Your Majesty, now because of your support and the materials plundered by King Hanhai, we do not lack materials for nation-building in Taiwan. However, this is only for the time being. Even if King Hanhai can continue to rob pirates Materials, wait until Xu Hai, Xin Wulang and Wang Zhi are destroyed? Those materials are probably just enough for us to build the whole of Taiwan. It is impossible for us to build only one city and the port defenses planned in front of us. I have seen the entire Taiwan Topographic map, we need to build at least eight cities. We also need to build four fortifications. The materials we looted are probably enough, and we can’t move too much of the materials on Wang Zhi’s side. It may be discarded, and we need to incorporate those 36 islands into our territory. So when we finish building Taiwan, after building 36 islands, we will have no supplies.

What do we do to keep the country running?
If we put it in the past, when Daming did not have a city ship department, we could directly monopolize the sea area, buy materials from the merchants of the vassal state and sell them to Daming, and then buy materials from Daming and sell them to the vassal state.But now Daming already has a Shibo Department, and the Shibo Department is still in charge of your Majesty..."

Luo Xin frowned slightly, and Fang Zigen continued: "The main reason is that we in Taiwan don't have anything worth trading with Daming. The most abundant thing is fruit, and whether these fruits can be transported to Daming depends on whether they can be transported to Daming." Daming's fruits will rot."

Luo Xin then began to recall what local products Taiwan had in history. After recalling for a long time, it seemed that apart from seafood and fruits, Taiwan was only famous for frozen top oolong tea and sorghum wine.

Forget about sorghum wine, it seems that there is no such agricultural product as sorghum in the whole of Ming Dynasty.Moreover, Luo Xin vaguely remembered that sorghum first appeared in Africa.

Dongding oolong tea can be researched, it is a good business.But only relying on a frozen top oolong will definitely not work.What is Taiwan?

fruit!

But just as Fang Zigen said, this fruit cannot be transported to Daming...

wine!

Luo's confidence jumped suddenly. Fruit wine appeared in Chinese history very early, such as "Liangzhou Ci" written by Wang Han in Tang Dynasty.

Grape wine luminous cup, urge you to drink Pipa immediately.

Drunk on the battlefield, Lord Grim, how many people have fought in ancient times

It is the wine produced in the Western Regions, but China does not have the secret recipe for this kind of wine, and Luo Xin dares to conclude that the ancient wine is definitely not as good as the later wine, because in the thousands of years of history, the secret recipe of wine must be in the Continuously improving.

Although Luo Xin didn't know the secret recipes of the eight French wineries in later generations, he still knew the production methods of various fruit wines. In his previous life, as a literati, he also searched for wine-making methods on Baidu. I have brewed various fruit wines, and then called friends and friends, which were called elegant things by friends.He firmly believes that even the extremely common method of brewing fruit wine in later generations will have a much better taste and clarity than the fruit wine brought back from the Western Regions and sold at sky-high prices.

This is a way to get rich!And... packaging matters.

Luo Xin, who came from later generations, naturally knows the importance of packaging, how can he show the dignity of fruit wine?
color!

Don't wait to drink, as long as you see the color, you can attract elegant people.

How to show the color?

glass container!

Luo Xin's brain hole has been completely opened.

Clear and transparent glass containers are filled with fruit wines of various bright colors. Just looking at the glass containers and the colors will arouse people's desire and give them a sense of dignity.

Glass!

Luo Xin became completely excited. In this era, even the glass in the Western Regions is not as clear as the later generations. The method of making glass is not difficult. Anyone who has read time-traveling novels in the later generations will be curious to check it out online. The method of making glass, Luo Xin is no exception, of course he knows how to make glass, and the glass produced must exceed the level of glass produced by any country in this era.

He knows that in this era, glass can be made into various utensils, wine glasses, plates, ornaments, small ornaments, etc., and it is a reform of home decoration.Today's Ming Dynasty still has stickers on the windows. If all of them were replaced with glass, this would be a huge market, and it was waiting to unify Taiwan, Japan, and Ryukyu. At that time, Luo Xin had a huge fleet.Luo Xin can definitely send this high-quality glass cloud to other kingdoms, and even travel to Europe to start a real voyage. With his own fleet for sea trade, Luo Xin no longer has to worry about money.And once you have money, you can speed up the improvement of ships, the research of guns, even Luo Xin thinks that in his lifetime, he will be able to see steam engines, and then see real steel ships, real guns, trains...

Well, by the way, the telescope mentioned by the uncle, after having glass, this is a trivial matter.

Seeing Luo Xin beaming there, the people in the room knew that Luo Xin had a good idea again, but Luo Xin was beaming there alone, and didn't say anything, which made these people scratch their heads anxiously.

"His Majesty……"

Everyone looked at Luo Ye, because Luo Ye was the only elder of Luo Xin here, and Luo Ye was also curious, so he called out.Luo Xin woke up from the infinite reverie, his eyes exuded a color of confidence and said:

"Don't worry everyone, we will only get richer and richer, and there will be no money problems."

"Your Majesty has an idea?" Fang Zigen asked excitedly.

"En!" Luo Xin nodded, and then said: "Let's put this matter aside for now."

Then he turned to Luo Ye and said, "Uncle, you and your cousin are going to leave Taiwan immediately to find Xu Hai. I think we can find Xu Hai as long as we keep an eye on Wang Zhi. The first step for us to succeed is to become The overlord of the sea. If you want to become the overlord of the sea, Xin Wulang and Wang Zhi are crucial to annihilating Xu Hai."

"Okay, let's go here."

Luo Xin nodded, Luo Ye and Luo Sheng stood up, went to find Wang Cuiqiao, and then began to arrange various matters to prepare for the expedition.Luo Xin looked at Fang Zigen and the three of them again and said:

"I remember that there are brewers and kiln burners among craftsmen?"

"Yes!" The three of Fang Zigen nodded hurriedly, and Zhou Xian said with some uncertainty: "Your Majesty, do you want to make wine and ceramics?"

"I want to make wine, but not to fire ceramics." Luo Xin smiled.

"Wine making?" Cui Hao frowned slightly and said, "Your Majesty, although Taiwan is not small, its arable land is relatively small..."

Luo Xin naturally understood what he said, so he smiled and said, "I don't use grain to make wine."

"Didn't you use grain to make wine?" The three looked at Luo Xin in surprise.

"Fruit!" Luo Xin said lightly.

The three of them were stunned for a moment, then sparks jumped in their eyes, Cui Hao said excitedly: "Grape wine luminous glass?"

"Not just wine, all fruits can be made into wine, and we can brew all kinds of fruit wine. In this way, all the fruits here can be used, and it will become a pillar industry for us."

"All kinds of fruits can be used to make wine?" Fang Zigen still couldn't believe it.

"Of course!" Luo Xin nodded firmly.

"But...we don't have a secret recipe for wine making." Zhou Xian frowned.

"I have!" Luo Xin said with a smile.

"Your Majesty, do you have a formula?"

"Ok!"

"Your Majesty, you just said that you are not firing ceramics?"

"Glass!" Luo Xin smiled.

"Your Majesty, you have a recipe for making glass."

"Yes!" Luo Xin stood up with a smile and said, "Let's go to the workshop tomorrow to have a look. By the way, the status and treatment of those craftsmen are treated according to the rules I made at the beginning?"
