Chapter 40 Pointing the Country

A look of admiration appeared on Zhu Gaochi's face, and he was very satisfied with the sharpness of the other party's awakening.

Zhu Zhanji said with some shame: "I met my second uncle at the palace gate last time, and there was a conflict over the move of the capital. In the end, I was punished by the emperor's grandfather for copying books, and I was also involved..."

peat! Fang Xing was a little confused. Could it be that Zhu Gaoxi didn't support moving the capital? How dare he oppose his father Zhu Di's opinion?

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

The east and the west dare not ask about it, that is the way to bring disaster.

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

After racking his brains, Fang Xing looked around and said, "Your Highness, why don't you show the enemy your weakness and drive away the tiger and devour the wolf?"

"Why?"

Zhu Gaochi's eyes lit up. Since he became the prince, he was almost held back by his two younger brothers, and he was almost deposed several times.

Fang Xing said in a low voice: "Isn't King Zhao coveting that position?"

Zhu Gaosui, the king of Zhao, had a crueler personality than Zhu Gaoxi, the king of Han, and was more lawless. It's just that this guy is very smart. Every time he framed the prince, he let Zhu Gaoxi take the lead, and he was like an innocent bystander.

Fang Xing said with a half-smile, "Your Highness, as the saying goes, a dog that bites does not bark!"

These words were very vulgar, and Zhu Gaochi even had a wry smile on his face, but soon he understood the meaning of Fang Xing's words.

Zhao Wang Zhu Gaosui is probably the most enthusiastic one for the big people, but this guy is just a bit shady. If you tease him and the King of Han a few times, I'm afraid it will be a comedy scene of dog eating dog.

Zhu Gaochi's chubby face trembled a few times, and he felt that it was too much to describe his two younger brothers as a dog biting a dog.

"Mr. Fang really knows people."

Zhu Gaochi complimented lightly, and then the topic turned to the government.

Fang Xing is no longer in a daze, he knows what Zhu Gaochi means, this is to test his own strength, if Fang Xing is just a boaster, then he will definitely stay away from Zhu Zhanji from now on, and maybe he will be punished. Residential surveillance.

In order not to be placed under house arrest, Fang Xing could only listen attentively.

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

Zheng He's voyages, this is an allusion that Fang Xing has heard since he was a child, so when Zhu Gaochi turned his eyes intentionally or unintentionally, he said: "Your Highness, the students think that Zheng He's move is actually very beneficial, but they just chose the wrong one. Just the direction."

"Oh! Then tell me."

Zhu Gaochi was somewhat interested, and wanted to hear if Fang Xing was really talented.

But Fang Xing had already made up his mind, and he was startled when he opened his mouth.

"At present, Zheng He's fleet is mainly Xuanwei. By the way, it exchanges some special products with coastal countries, but compared with the cost, it is of course a loss."

Fang Xing used this bad word, and Zhu Gaochi still approved it. Because every time Zheng He went to sea, it was the day when the Minister of the Ministry of Finance wanted to hang himself.

Fang Xing went on to say: "But there is endless wealth here. If I, Ming, don't take it, at most a hundred years, the Europa people will come here with strong ships and cannons. From then on, I, Ming, will be separated from the ocean!"

so serious?

Besides, being insulated from the ocean is not a big deal!

Zhu Gaochi and his son felt a little funny when they saw the anger on Fang Xing's face.

Fang Xing was not angry either, he took out a piece of paper from the corner of the study, spread it on the desk, and then pointed with his finger and said, "Please look, Your Highness, this is Temasek, one of the supply points of Zheng He's fleet, But do you know? After controlling this place, this ocean will belong to me from now on!"

Zhu Gaochi rubbed his forehead, feeling a little dizzy.

"Having control of this ocean, is it good for me, Ming?"

At this time, it is not the year of "the crowd is full of prosperity", so it is normal to speak favorably.

Zhu Zhanji also looked at the map carefully,

But the more he watched, the more frightened he became.

"Brother Dehua, where did 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 Xing laughed and said, "I have a few friends who operate overseas, and they draw albums wherever they go, thinking of them as family heirlooms."

Regardless of whether the father and son believe it or not, Fang Xing himself already believed it. He pointed to the map and said, "To the right of my Ming Dynasty is Cochin and Siam. The rice here can keep the people of my Ming Dynasty from starvation, and there are huge tin mines." On the left are Luzon and Johor..."

Fang Xing pointed at this place and couldn't help but feel full of energy. At this time, these countries that were still under the majesty of Ming Dynasty were all enemies of the Chinese later on, including the current Temasek.

"Here, spices are wealth, and there are many kinds of raw materials that can be supplied to my Ming Dynasty. Once they are controlled by the Europa people, my Ming Dynasty will be in danger!"

Zhu Gaochi looked at this ridiculously detailed map while listening to Fang Xing's explanation, and gradually frowned and said: "But I am looking across the sea, how can I get these resources?"

Fang Xing became excited when he heard it, "Control! My Ming Dynasty only needs to control the sea, and then I can use my Ming people to control the wealth of these countries through immigration, and finally feed back the land continuously."

Zhu Zhanji also asked: "Brother Dehua, but the development of these things requires a large number of people, how many ships will be built!"

Fang Xing shook his head and said, "No, just take your time."

"Take it easy?"

This person doesn't understand government affairs, take your time, and when you take your time, the court will have changed its mind a long time ago.

Fang Xing said calmly: "The control I'm talking about is to first use my Ming's army to overwhelm, then drive the local natives to farm and mine, and finally use profits to drive the people of Ming to emigrate. At most ten years, my Ming can control this area Huge place."

"But this is too cruel!"

Zhu Gaochi, the benevolent emperor in history, really objected.

Fang Xing became angry. He remembered the so-called benevolence, and said angrily: "Between countries, between nations, where is there benevolence? If there is, why would those alien races rush into the Central Plains and kill us Han people with butcher knives?" The heads of those who have been killed are rolling!"

This is a guy who treats foreigners as worthless, and Zhu Gaochi and his son immediately came to a conclusion for Fang Xing.

"...You treat them with so-called benevolence, but if you have a chance, see what they will do to me, Daming!"

Fang Xing almost scolded Ru Ru, but fortunately he stopped quickly, otherwise he really couldn't be kind today.

The people outside trembled when they heard this, and felt that Fang Xing was really trying to die.

"...During the Tang Dynasty, foreigners were treated with considerate care, but what happened later? As soon as An Lushan raised the flag, those foreigners immediately rushed into the Central Plains."

"...What about the Song Dynasty? I always felt that foreigners only need money to get things done, so there are coins every year, but what happened in the end? Even the emperor was captured!"
