[End of the God Station] Remind book friends to keep in mind: Website URL: www.xinwanben.com Remember in a second, never lose it!

Looking at the vicissitudes of life on Xu Jing's face.

Fang Jifan's heart ached more and more.

Coming out of Fengtian Hall, Fang Jifan patted Xu Jing on the shoulder.

Xu Jing was restraining his emotions, but his mentor's gentle hand patted his shoulder, and tears burst out of his eyes immediately.

"Master..."

Fang Jifan smiled: "It's been five years. In the past five years, my teacher has missed you every day. I am very pleased that you have finally returned."

Xu Jing had tears in his eyes: "Let the teacher worry about it, and the students will die forever."

Fang Jifan sighed, raised his head, and looked at the sky.

"Go home and cry. Cry here. It's not good to be seen by outsiders. When you go out, the most important thing to remember is, don't lose face as a teacher."

Xu Jing whimpered.

Then, he experienced the comfort of the four-wheeled carriage. Sitting on the sofa, he opened the curtain of the carriage in a novelty, and looked at the street scene passing by outside the car window: "The new city is really nice."

"Of course." Fang Jifan sat opposite, his sofa was wider, looking at Xu Jing with a smile.

Xu Jing was suddenly preoccupied: "Teacher, student... I want to ask one thing, is our foot really a round ball?"

"Why do you ask that?" Fang Jifan looked surprised.

Xu Jingdao: "Marquis Shouning and Uncle Jianchang went to sea together with the students after all, if the mountains, rivers and oceans under their feet are not round, wouldn't it be... wouldn't it be...the two uncles will never see each other again ?”

Fang Jifan sighed in his heart, why is the earth round? It would be better if it were square. In this case, those two dog-like things would have no chance of dying!

When they arrived at Zhen Guo Mansion, many people warmly welcomed this uncle. People had an extraordinary respect for Xu Jing.

But on this day, Xu Jing was drunk.

Since he went into the sea, he never drank alcohol, but now, with only a few bowls of rice wine, he is as drunk as mud.

He covered his face and wept loudly, with tears streaming down his covered fingers: "I deserve to die, I really deserve to die, they say my parents are here, I don't travel far, I'm a disciple, I can't serve my teacher all the time, I have to teach Teacher is worried, I, Xu Jing, have been unfaithful and unfilial..."

Tears fell drop by drop, and the eye sockets of the senior brothers were all red.

Fang Jifan sat in the first place numbly, still a little dazed in his heart.

People in this world, what do their brains do? I can't keep up with this kind of thinking.

Fang Jifan coughed: "Father Heng... well, don't cry."

Xu Jing's shoulders twitched, but Fang Jifan's voice was covered by crying: "Men... My mentor is sick, and a disciple can't take care of it. When my mentor encounters difficulties, a disciple can't solve problems. The joy of a mentor, the helplessness of a disciple Sharing, what's the use of my mentor still wanting me as a student?"

Tang Yin hurriedly wiped his tears for him: "Your meritorious deeds, the teacher is very pleased, the teacher doesn't ask us to repay you."

Wang Shouren, Liu Wenshan, and Jiang Chen all nodded.

Fang Jifan: "..."

I want to report it, hey... hey... I will rely on you to support me in my next life...

Fang Jifan forced a smile and coughed: "That's right, that's what a teacher is like."

In the early morning of the next day, Xu Jing finally returned to normal, so he came to greet Fang Jifan early in the morning.

Fang Jifan: "..."

Xiao Xu obviously has been at sea for a long time, and he has some ignorance about Fang Jifan's living habits.

But Fang Jifan got up obediently, but Zhu Xiurong found it strange. While dressing Fang Jifan, he asked Fang Jifan not to work hard.

Fang Jifan met Xu Jing in the small hall.

Xu Jing bowed deeply to Fang Jifan: "I have seen my mentor."

Fang Jifan nodded, someone had already poured tea, he took a sip of tea and said slowly: "Come early in the morning, just to say hello."

"Today, the Holy Master ordered the students to go to see Jia. I think they want to ask about the method of Tuba. The students think carefully, and it is better to ask the teacher for advice."

Fang Jifan thought for a while: "Do you have any suggestions?"

Xu Jingdao: "Governance outside the vassal is a huge problem. The survivors are lost overseas, thousands of miles away, and they have to face the epidemic, the natives, and the Franji people. After all, the court is too far away from them. Two years or two, even ten or twenty years, maybe there will be no rift between them, but what about twenty years later?"

Xu Jing also said: "The most important thing is that if you don't send the survivors, you can't control the world just by making friends with the natives. Therefore, you must send troops and horses, build towns, use China as the trunk, and the four seas as branches. Then, where do these countless manpower come from? Once they start a family and start a business thousands of miles away, are they still willing to be loyal to Daming? The guards sent by the imperial court don’t know much about towns thousands of miles away, so how can they convince the people? If the survivors are promoted to guard, it is difficult to protect them and they will not be separated from their virtues. Therefore, the students feel that this is a very difficult task. Your Majesty regards the students as the Protectorate of the World, but this Protectorate is just a sham..."

Fang Jifan could understand Xu Jing's feelings.

The Protectorate's Mansion is nice to hear, but it is more difficult than reaching the sky to control the world.

For example, the fleet of the Ming Dynasty is huge, but if there is a stronghold of the Ming Dynasty in the south of Kunlun Continent, how will the population of this stronghold be used, and will the local survivors be willing to pledge allegiance? What if there is a rebellion? Do you want to suppress it? can wait

When the news reached Daming, it was already a year later. When Daming mobilized troops to prepare for the rebellion, his children could be soy sauce.

There is also the Golden Continent, which is probably the same. Once the survivors have lived there for two, three, or four generations, their kinship with Daming will naturally gradually become weaker and estranged. , let you manage it in a yamen thousands of miles away.

To put it bluntly, the cost of rebellion is low, but the cost of management is too high.

A balance has not been achieved. The so-called domination of the world is itself a joke.

But if a large number of soldiers and civilians were not moved out, it would be even more difficult to protect the interests of Daming in various places.

At this time, Fang Jifan said with a smile: "You, it seems that you are still not as good as your brother Boan, you have forgotten the unity of knowledge and action, right?"

"This..." Xu Jing looked ashamed.

Fang Jifan said: "First of all, the adherents need to be educated. No matter where they are in the world, they must have the same values ​​as China. Therefore, we must polish the statue of the old man of Confucius."

No matter what Fang Jifan thinks about the saint, he also knows that the saint of Confucius is the greatest consensus in the world today.

"Of course, relying on these alone is not enough to control the foreign countries. If you want people to be willing to serve Ming Dynasty, or in other words, to serve China, its essence requires benefits, not just education. What is benefit? China's porcelain and silk are widely needed in Huangjinzhou, even for the future survivors. In the future, they will inevitably expand their territory in Huangjinzhou for production and farming. Their special products will also need to be produced in China. Only then can there be a market. This is like water, and the water needs to flow to make the benefits evenly...for example...Xishan Jianye..."

"Xishan Jianye..."

Fang Jifan explained patiently: "If the imperial court appoints a small official to go to Huangjinzhou, will this small official be willing to devote himself to the king's affairs?"

Xu Jing frowned.

Fang Jifan said: "He is thousands of miles away, no one can see whether this little official does a good job or not, so he will naturally be perfunctory, and he doesn't care much about the Shangguan who is thousands of miles away. .”

"But if Xishan Jianye sends a craftsman to Huangjinzhou, will he do his best?"

Xu Jing couldn't help saying: "This..."

"He will do his best, because he has done a good job, opened up the market, and Jianye can earn money. If he is given a suitable reward, he will definitely do his best. Therefore... the fundamental point is to let these survivors Entering into a system, they must rely on this system to maintain their livelihoods. Landlords who grow cotton need it, because only it can purchase a large amount of their cotton, and mine owners also need it, and only it can purchase minerals. The same People who need workshops need it, because without it, no one can provide society. Instead of using the power of the government to control the world, it is better to use the bond of interest to connect them."

Xu Jing said in surprise: "The students seem to understand something."

Fang Jifan said with a smile: "It's good to understand, you are going to face the saint today, and there is one more thing I want to entrust to you as a teacher."

Xu Jing hurriedly said: "Just do what your mentor tells you."

Fang Jifan rolled his eyes: "Your Majesty has a lot of silver in his inner treasury. You can think of a way to persuade him to save all these real gold and silver in the bank. Only the silver can give birth to silver, otherwise, stay in the treasury." There will be mold in it."

"Ah..." Xu Jing was sweating profusely, and he was a little unconfident.

Where there is royal silver, it is all deposited in the bank.

Fang Jifan said: "Don't say I mentioned it, you go and say it."

"Student..." Xu Jing said with shame: "Try to find a way."

Xu Jing took Fang Jifan's hint, but got into the carriage with half understanding.

Use commercial interests to connect all the survivors in series.

But... how to connect it.

And... how to encourage the Remnants to forge ahead?

This... seems like a... headache.

The carriage did not stop when it arrived at the Meridian Gate, but directly stopped outside the Fengtian Hall, which was the emperor's own will.

Xu Jing is allowed to drive in the palace.

Xu Jing went to Fengtian Hall and bowed down, but at this time, Emperor Hongzhi and several cabinet ministers had been waiting here for a long time.

"You don't need to be too polite, Aiqing, you are flat."

When Xu Jing got up, the eunuch had prepared Jindun, and Xu Jing leaned over and sat down.

Several cabinet scholars all looked at Xu Jing.

Emperor Hongzhi said with a smile: "Xu Qing's family, I ordered you to protect the mansion all over the world, can you understand my intention?"

Xu Jing said seriously: "I dare not make any guesses about Your Majesty's Sacred Heart."
