Chapter 40

Zhu gaochi's face floated a color of appreciation. The other party woke up sharply and was very satisfied.

Zhu Zhanji said with some shame: "last time I met my second uncle at the palace gate, there was a conflict about moving the capital. Finally, Grandpa Huang punished me for copying books and implicated me..."

Peat! Fang Xing is a little hoodwinked. Doesn't Zhu Gaoxi support moving the capital? How dare he oppose the opinion of his father Zhu Di?

"I think the sooner we move the capital, the better, but the second uncle..."

The East and the West here dare not ask. That's the way to take trouble.

This was the first time I met the prince, and it was very kind. Fang Xing felt that he should do something.

After racking his brains, Fang woke up and looked around and said, "Your Highness, why not show the enemy that he is weak and drive the tiger and swallow the wolf?"

"What's the solution?"

Zhu gaochi's eyes lit up. Since he became prince, he was almost dragged back by his two younger brothers and almost abandoned several times.

Fang woke up and whispered, "didn't King Zhao covet that position?"

Zhu gaosui, king of Zhao, was more cruel and lawless than Zhu gaoxu, king of Han Dynasty. It's just that the goods are very smart. Every time they frame the prince, Zhu gaoxu takes the lead. He is like an innocent bystander.

Fang Xing said with a smile: "Your Highness, as the saying goes, a dog that bites doesn't bark!"

This was very vulgar. Zhu gaochi smiled bitterly, but soon he understood the meaning of Fang Xing's words.

For you, Zhu gaosui, king of Zhao, is probably the most enthusiastic one, but it's just Yin. If you flirt between him and the king of Han Dynasty, I'm afraid the comedy scene of dog biting dog will appear.

Zhu gaochi's fat face trembled a few times and felt that he had gone too far in describing his two brothers as dogs biting dogs.

"Mr. Fang has really seen people."

Zhu gaochi gave a faint compliment, and then the topic turned to the government.

Fang woke up. He knew what Zhu gaochi meant. He was testing his weight. If Fang woke up was just a talker, he would definitely stay away from Zhu Zhanji, and maybe he would be monitored.

In order not to be under house arrest, Fang Xing had to listen attentively.

"... Zheng He will go to sea again next year, which will cost a lot of money!"

Zheng He's voyage to the West was an allusion Fang Xing had heard since childhood. Therefore, when Zhu gaochi's eyes turned intentionally or unintentionally, he said: "Your Highness, the students think Zheng He's move is actually very beneficial, but they just chose the wrong direction."

"Oh! Just say it."

Zhu gaochi was interested and wanted to hear whether Fang Xing was really talented.

But Fang woke up and made up his mind. As soon as he opened his mouth, he startled him.

"At present, Zheng He's fleet is mainly Xuanwei. By the way, it exchanges some specialties with coastal countries, but compared with the cost, it certainly loses money."

Zhu gaochi recognized Fang Xing's use of this word. Because every time Zheng He goes to sea, it is the day when the Minister of household wants to hang himself.

Fang Xing then said, "but there is endless wealth here. If I don't take it, the Europeans will come here with strong ships and guns in a hundred years at most. From then on, my Daming will be insulated from the sea!"

So serious?

Besides, insulation from the ocean is not a big deal!

When Zhu gaochi and his son saw Fang Xing's angry face, they felt a little funny.

Fang woke up and was not angry. He took out a piece of paper from the corner of his study, spread it on the desk, and then pointed to it and said, "Your Highness, please see, this is Temasek, one of the supply points of Zheng He's fleet, but do you know? I have controlled this place and this ocean has been mine since then!"

Zhu gaochi rubbed his forehead and felt a little dizzy.

"It's good for me to control this ocean?"

This is not the time of "Zhongzheng Yingchao", so it is normal to speak of profit.

Zhu Zhanji also looked at the map carefully, but the more he looked, the more frightened he became.

"Brother Dehua, where does this map come from?"

You know, the father and son sitting here have seen the map of Daming many times, but they have never seen such a detailed map.

Fang woke up with a ha ha and said, "I have several friends who operate overseas. They draw brochures everywhere they go and think they are heirlooms."

Whether the father and son believe it or not, Fang Xing has believed it. He pointed to the map and said, "Jiaozhi and Siam are on the right of Daming. The rice here can protect the people of Daming from hunger, and the number of tin mines is huge. On the left are Luzon and Johor..."

Fang Xing could not help but feel refreshed as he pointed to it. At this time, these countries still under the majesty of the Ming Dynasty were all great enemies of the Chinese, including Temasek.

"Here, spices are wealth, and there are many kinds of raw materials that can be supplied to Daming. Once controlled by the Europeans, Daming will be in danger!"

Zhu gaochi looked at the map in outrageous detail and listened to Fang Xing's explanation. He gradually frowned and said, "but I look across the sea. How can I get these resources?"

Fang woke up and said, "control! I Daming only need to control the sea, and then I can control the wealth of these countries with my Daming people through immigration, and finally feed back the local people."

Zhu Zhanji also asked, "brother Dehua, but developing these things requires a lot of people. How many ships do you have to build?"

Fang woke up and shook his head and said, "no, take your time."

"Take your time?"

This one doesn't understand the government. Take your time. When you take your time, you'll change your mind early in the morning.

Fang xingsa ran, "what I'm talking about is to use my Daming army to intimidate, then drive the local natives to cultivate and mine, and finally use interests to drive the people of Daming to emigrate. In ten years at most, my Daming can control this huge place."

"But it's too cruel!"

Zhu gaochi, the benevolent king in history, was indeed opposed.

Fang woke up angry. He thought of the so-called benevolence and said angrily, "between countries and nations, between nations and nations, where does benevolence come from? If so, how can those alien races rush into the Central Plains and kill the heads of our Han people with butchers!"

This is a guy who treats foreigners as grass mustard. Zhu gaochi and his son immediately woke up to Fang's conclusion.

"... you treat them with the so-called benevolence, but when you have a chance, what will they use to treat me Daming!"

Fang Xing almost scolded a corrupt scholar. Fortunately, he closed his mouth quickly, otherwise he could not be kind today.

The people outside trembled and felt that Fang Xingxing was really dying.

"... in the Tang Dynasty, the foreigners were very close to their lungs, but what happened later? When Anlu mountain raised the flag, the foreigners immediately entered the Central Plains."

"... what about the Song Dynasty? I always think that foreigners can do it with money, so year after year, but in the end? Even the emperor was captured!"
