Chapter 1801 Southwest Estuary, Herald of Love

Just half a month after the matter of Jian Shuren was settled, more than ten riders entered Beiping City.

Zhang Ben, the new minister of the Ministry of War, also hurried into the palace.

In the Qianqing Palace, the dusty Li Ermao saluted and said, "Your Majesty, Myanmar is safe."

Zhu Zhanji nodded, and said with relief: "How about those natives?"

"Master Fang strictly enforced military discipline, and those natives dared to do business with us. Later, more caravans came, and the business was done without deception, and the natives were very happy. We also collected taxes fairly, and the natives were very happy. Support Daming. Those rebels hiding in the jungle can't stand it anymore, and many people have been shouted out to surrender. Master Fang thought that Burma was safe, so he sent his ministers back."

"good!"

Zhu Zhanji said with satisfaction: "If you want long-term peace and stability, killing is not the way. If you want those natives to feel Daming's sincerity, they will naturally attach themselves loyally. Fang Zheng won my favor."

Soon after Zhu Zhanji ascended the throne, good news came. This was a happy event, and all the officials congratulated him.

With Myanmar, the southwestern border of Ming Dynasty was stabilized, and Yunnan, where chieftains were often restless, was indirectly stabilized, which can be said to kill two birds with one stone.

But Zhu Zhanji didn't just see this, what he valued more was spreading out from Myanmar as a base point.

"Maybe there is a direct access to the sea?"

Li Ermao had already prepared the answer to this question, and he said: "Your Majesty, it is very difficult. There are many mountains over there, and there are many native tribes. If a large amount of supplies are transported from Yunnan to the sea, I think it is not possible at present, and the loss is too great." big."

The ministers immediately had a very good impression of Li Ermao. They only felt that although this man was a student of Zhixing Academy, he understood the general situation and cared about the overall situation.

Can be worthy of making ah!

Several similar eyes intertwine, with a hint of a smile.

The relationship between the emperor and Zhixing Academy is very complicated. If he is not concerned about his reputation, he would probably want to hold the title of mountain chief.

Is this the student who poured cold water on the head of the mountain?

All the officials felt the cold breath from Zhu Zhanji's body, and all of them looked at their noses and hearts, and they didn't want to get involved in this "Master-Apprentice War".

Zhu Zhanji turned his eyes, and said lightly: "It's all gone, Li Ermao stays here."

Among the ministers, there were those who were fond of gossip, and those who were particularly curious, felt itchy immediately, but had no choice but to leave.

After the people left, Zhu Zhanji handled the memorial, and Li Ermao didn't show any fear, but just stood with his waist straight.

After the memorial was processed, it was already half an hour later.

Zhu Zhanji got up and walked down, glanced at Li Ermao, who had a dark complexion, and said, "Be careful."

Li Ermao said: "Your Majesty, there are many mountains and it is not easy to build roads. There are many tribes. Once the tribes rebel, the road may be cut off at any time. It is too fragile, Your Majesty."

Seeing his calmness, Zhu Zhanji continued to ask: "If Daming seeks a port there, what do you think?"

Li Ermao said confidently: "Your Majesty, I think the port is not difficult. When I came, I went to Jinling's riverside to see, but those fleets have been parked. I thought I only need to make a few more trips to transport more immigrants. , Bring more tools over there, Your Majesty, and then go overland to cooperate. It is not difficult to build a city by the sea.

"

Zhu Zhanji nodded, a little surprised, and asked, "Whose idea is this?"

As he spoke, he stared at Li Ermao with sharp eyes.

Li Ermao said without hesitation, "Your Majesty, this is my idea. However, I have discussed it with Mr. Fang and the others, and I have benefited a lot."

"Have you learned to be Linglong? Huh?"

Zhu Zhanji and Li Ermao passed by, paced slowly, and said, "I know that Fang Zheng is a good general in battle, but he has little to do with people's livelihood. Do you want to please him?"

Li Ermao shook his head, turned back and said: "Your Majesty, I dare not. When this matter was mentioned at that time, everyone said that the journey was difficult, so I suggested this method, but only thought of the sea route, but Mr. Fang said that the land route must also be taken. You can't neglect it, otherwise, if the sea route is cut off, that port will be isolated and helpless, and I was terrified at that time."

Zhu Zhanji looked pale, and said: "The land route...it will take a long time to get through, and the cost is indeed not small. It can only be supplemented, and the sea route should be the main route."

"Your Majesty is wise."

These days, long-distance resupply by land is a disaster. When a catty of grain is delivered to a place, at least four or five catties of grain will be consumed on the road, and many of them are more than that.

Zhu Zhanji shook his head slightly and said, "I don't care if I'm wise or not, but you're a bit of an official. Why, what do you want to do when you come back this time?"

Li Ermao said anxiously: "Your Majesty, I will obey your majesty's arrangement."

How can there be an official position to pick and choose for you these days. If you choose, you will push your nose and face, cough cough! It will probably be here in the future.

Zhu Zhanji was already very satisfied in his heart. He felt it was a surprise for this student who became a monk halfway.

"In this case, you can become a censor."

...

"kill!"

"kill!"

There were shouts of killing on the playground all day long, and those students were practicing assassination with wooden guns in their hands.

"Teacher, Tudou and the others are here too?"

Li Ermao came to Fangjiazhuang to meet Fang Xing, Fang Xing asked about the situation, and brought him to see the academy.

Tudou and Pingan are both practicing, but they are too young and are placed in front, looking a little coke.

"Of course, since you've come in, you must cultivate both civil and martial arts. What about you? Your mother probably did a lot of looking for marriages for you, right? Who did you fancy? I'll go

Say yes to you. "

Li Ermao has also become an older youth. If he hadn't been an official, he probably would have lost his life in this life.

"Teacher, disciple..."

Li Ermao scratched his head suddenly, and said embarrassingly: "The disciple met a..."

This guy is still free in love?

Fang Xing was very interested and asked, "Which company? Tell me, I'll make the decision for you."

Li Ermao said with some difficulty: "Teacher, she is the daughter of a chieftain. My disciple... When the caravan entered Burma, she came with it. Later, we met, and later..."

Fang Xing was also a little dizzy.

Marriage these days is all about matching the right family, the order of the parents, and the words of the matchmaker. Although Fang Xing doesn't care much about these, he even thinks that free love is right.

But you can find a chieftain's daughter, this...

"Did your mother tell you?"

Fang Xing was worried that Li Ermao would be beaten out by his mother with a big stick, and then the relationship between mother and child would be severed.

Li Ermao said with a headache: "Teacher, the disciple hasn't returned home yet!"

"It's too far away. But if you like, that woman can also manage the house, so go try it."

Fang Xing can't get involved too much in this kind of matter, after all, the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law has been a difficult problem for thousands of years. If Li Ermao's old lady doesn't like that woman, and he forcibly blends in, that's committing a crime.

"Move."

Fang Xing confessed: "You have settled down when you come back this time, but it is not easy for you to live in the academy as the censor. I will ask someone to find a house for you later. Fang Zheng is cunning, and there must be a lot of seizures. You should Do you have a share too? If it’s not enough, I’ll fill it up for you, forget it, go to His Majesty, I’ll ask His Majesty.”

Li Ermao blushed and said, "Teacher, my disciple's money is enough."

"You still have to get married, raise a baby, take care of your mother, how can it be enough all at once? That's it, it's a skill to be able to owe His Majesty money!"

This is Fang Xing's wake-up call, and Li Ermao understands.

If you want to be the direct descendant of the emperor, then you have to choose the right path!

Don't be afraid to borrow money from the emperor, it's even better to be poor.

Get close!

This position was immediately stabilized, and it was labeled as an imperial party in the future.

Fang Xingyu said earnestly: "The academy is not my academy, I'm just a sower, and after you become talented, His Majesty is the one who takes what you can, understand?"

Li Ermao nodded, "Teacher, the disciple understands."

"Then go back quickly, and speak carefully, don't talk back to your mother. If it does, I'll send someone to Yunnan to pick you up."

Li Ermao said in embarrassment: "Teacher..."

Fang Xing was still thinking about Zhu Zhanji's strategy for the southwest estuary, and scolded after hearing the words: "Is mother-in-law a man? That's your mother, not a tiger!"

"Teacher...she's here."

I say!

Fang Xing blinked, and almost wanted to ask a question: Heavenly King Gedihu!

This is the herald of free love!

"You don't mean...elope, do you?"

Fang Xing asked, clutching his forehead, he was worried that Li Ermao was going to detonate a bomb, a bomb that could detonate the officialdom in the capital.

The student of the academy, who is still an official, actually kidnapped the chieftain's daughter.

Moral decay!

Dip pig cage

Fang Xing was thinking wildly, but Li Ermao blushed and said, "Teacher, it's not elopement, her parents have agreed, and...he pulled a few cars, saying it's a dowry."

Fang Xing was already a little dizzy. He pointed to Li Ermao's house and said, "Get out! Get out!"

Don't worry!

Fang Xing had a headache, and then went to the palace. He had to go to Zhu Zhanji to file a case, so as not to cause controversy in time.
