Chapter 1522: The Joy and Worries of the Vassal State

If life is a practice, then Fang Xing felt that he was already in the foundation building stage.

"There are Golden Core monks on it, and there are other gods, Mahayanas, and Ascension... There are so many old monsters!"

Holding Wuyou in his arms, Fang Xing took a walk in the yard.

Tudou and Ping An went to school, while the big and small bugs lay bored under the eaves, listlessly listening to the cicadas.

Fang Xing was pacing under the shade of a tree, while Wuyou was dozing off with his arms around his neck.

After breakfast, Wuyou started to make a fuss, and then he invited a doctor to come and see, saying that it was because of the heat, Fang Xing gave Wuyou some medicine in private, and it didn't feel better until now.

"When can I upgrade to Jindan?"

Fang Xing was relaxing his brain and mediating his hostility.

Wuyou is very clingy today, making Fang Xing reluctant to let it go.

"father……"

"Hey! Daddy's baby is awake?"

Fang Xing held Wuyou upright, looked at her cute sleeping face and couldn't help laughing, "Little darling, it's time for lunch!"

Wuyou clenched his chubby hands into fists, rubbed his eyes, and murmured: "Father, eat."

"Okay! Let's eat!"

"Let's go!"

"Eat! Eat!"

"Cluck..."

Zhang Shuhui and Xiaobai were counting the food at home, when they heard Wuyou's laughter outside, they couldn't help laughing: "My husband likes Wuyou, he doesn't even care about potatoes and peace."

Xiaobai pouted: "Madam, I also want to give birth to a baby girl."

Zhang Shuhui burst out laughing, and said to Xiaobai: "Oh! You're so ridiculous! My daughter is going to get married in the future, so my husband is reluctant to part with you. With your temperament, if you have a daughter, you may have to follow her when she gets married. The uncle’s family can rest assured after watching it? Hahahaha!"

Xiaobai didn't like it when he heard it, so he had a quarrel with Zhang Shuhui, just when Fang Xing came in and saw it, he coughed dryly and said, "Well, it really doesn't work, so let's hire a son-in-law!"

Zhang Shuhui gave Fang Xing a look, stroked her messy hair, and said, "Husband, don't talk nonsense! Look at those days when you were a son-in-law. Men don't look like men. How can such a man be worthy of worry-free?"

Well!

Fang Xing was depressed. In fact, he was the one who was most reluctant to let his daughter marry.

But what Zhang Shuhui said was right, a man who is willing to be a son-in-law these days really doesn't look like a man.

Fang Xing felt unbearable at the thought of Wuyou marrying such a man!

"eat!"

Wuyou suddenly used both hands to grab Fang Xing's cheeks, and began to glow with energy.

"Father, eat! Eat!"

Fang Xing deliberately pretended to grin his teeth in pain, and said, "Okay, eat, let's have lunch."

Not long after, Hua Niang came with a bowl of custard.

The egg custard looked very tender, and there were some minced chicken meat in it. Fang Xing sniffed it first, and said with satisfaction: "There is no fishy smell, Hua Niang's cooking skills are getting better and better."

Hua Niang looked at Wuyou who was pointing to the small bowl and clamoring to eat, and said with a smile: "Miss, at this age, you need to eat more restrained food. I will think about some dishes later."

"Eat, eat, eat!"

Wuyou couldn't wait any longer, so Zhang Shuhui scooped up the custard with a small spoon, blew it carefully, and then fed her.

"Is it tasty?"

Fang Xing leaned over and asked.

Wuyou held the spoon in her mouth, sucked the egg custard, raised her head, and looked at Fang Xing in confusion with her big black eyes.

Fang Xing couldn't help laughing at the small person with blank eyes.

After eating the custard, Wuyou took a nap as usual.

And Fang Xing went to the study, and Ma Su came.

"It's not Xiu Mu today, why are you back?"

Ma Su is no longer the scholar who needs Fang Xing to dig a hole to sharpen him. He said calmly, "Teacher, those envoys from foreign domains are a little impatient. They are asking about His Majesty's attitude towards the outside world."

"They are secretly happy and dissatisfied!"

Fang Xing had been overseas last time, so he knew the virtues of those countries.

Ma Su lowered his eyes to be taught.

"What they are secretly happy about is that Da Ming wants to abolish his martial arts. As long as the treasure ship stops, Da Ming's influence overseas will gradually fade.

Until those people forget about Daming. "

"Without deterrence, there is no benefit. If Ming wants to obtain benefits from overseas, the treasure ships cannot stop. The only way to increase the frequency of going to sea is to continue to build supply points and even garrisons in various places. Only in this way can Da Ming's long-term influence on overseas countries be guaranteed. force."

Fang Xing didn't know what mistake the treasure ship had made, and everyone from Zhu Gaochi to the civil servants of the Manchu Dynasty opposed it.

"We give up overseas now, but those businessmen will see business opportunities from it, understand?"

Ma Su thought for a while and said, "Businessmen are passionate about profit. As long as there is profit, they dare to go to sea. In the end...unless the government releases restrictions on going to sea, otherwise...the disciple thought that the sea would be banned."

Fang Xing said approvingly: "You have a good vision. The essence of businessmen is to maximize profits. For this reason, they will strive to monopolize, monopolize channels and pricing power. Going to sea can make money, and they can still make a lot of money. They will not give money to the court. Share the profits, so the best way is to ban the sea, and then they occupy the fat of the sea trade alone, and... don't have to pay taxes. "

Ma Su nodded and said: "Yes, those who can go to sea for trade must have a difficult home, otherwise the local officials can take it directly. So your majesty... disciples dare not speak rashly."

"Is there anything bad to say?"

Fang Xing said with a smile: "Da Ming is so big, the people sitting on it are panicked, and they are afraid that they will not be able to control themselves. If they continue to develop overseas vigorously, that panic will turn into panic. They are worried that the people will suddenly …Suddenly, they are enlightened, they want a better life, they want to learn more knowledge, and this happens to be what the civil servants are afraid of.”

This is the wish of civil servants to close the country.

The last time Fang Xing and Zhu Zhanji went to sea, they cleaned up all the vassal states, and even wiped out Java, which made the civil servants panic, feeling that disaster was imminent.

"They don't want to start this, for fear of losing control!"

Ma Su understood that he thought he needed to look up to those superior people, but now he felt that those people did not need to look up to them.

"They're doing their thing, yes, that's it!"

From Zhu Di's aggressiveness when he was there, to the current complete liquidation and complete overthrow, Fang Xing wants to kill someone!

Once the good situation recedes, now even the envoys of those vassal states are gradually despising this Ming Dynasty, what do they want to do?

...

Daming is not going to sea anymore?

The envoys of various countries stationed in Beijing began to think about the situation in their own countries, and they were weak and panicked, for fear of being swallowed up by other countries. They felt incredible about this new policy of Ming Dynasty.

And powerful countries should laugh: no one will restrain their expansion, no one will deter them.

"We can do whatever we want, but it's a pity that we pay tribute once a year, but we can get a lot of benefits!"

"Well, but... it should still be possible to pay tribute. Ming people like to show off their status as a central power. As long as they bring something over, they will definitely be happy."
