Royal study room.
The talented man was like a good boy and told everything about his trip to the Southwest.
Zhu Tianzheng was overjoyed, "Okay! Okay! In this way, the problem of chieftains in the southwest has been completely solved."
Naturally he was excited.
For the leader of a country, recruiting a few more scholars is nothing.
Being able to place all these scholars into the major chieftain camps is the key.
Subtly, over a period of time, the southwest will be able to completely integrate with the inland. This is not a temporary rectification, but long-term stability.
cultural and economic, as well as comprehensive national integration.
Zhu Tianzheng is the leader of a country, so how can he not see the benefits of it?
This can definitely be regarded as a major event that will benefit the future.
"You did a very good job in this matter, I am very pleased."
Zhu Tianzheng did not hesitate to praise him at all, and his face was full of relief.
The great talent reciprocated courtesy and naturally did not forget to praise him.
"It's because my father has good control and the southwestern chieftains don't dare to disobey, so they take the initiative to delegate power and let new Jinshis join the ranks."
"There's no need to flatter me. In your mind, am I such a greedy person?"
"My son is telling the truth. Without the full support of my father, Southwest would never be what it is today. It is my father who is wise, brave, broad-minded, and trustworthy in employing people..."
All right!
The great talent almost vomited, but there was no way, business was just about complimenting each other.
Lao Zhu gave him such face, so he had to make him feel comfortable no matter what.
Moreover, flattering the emperor is not shabby.
I have to say that the great talent's words really made Zhu Tianzheng feel very comfortable. Is this flattering? This is the truth, okay? If it were another emperor, would he be able to let his ministers do whatever they wanted?
Isn’t it a fantasy to also achieve economic integration, cultural integration, and finally complete national integration?
Where did I go wrong in the first place, so that I was persuaded by this kid?
The key is that such an outrageous thing was actually accomplished by this kid.
Zhu Tianzheng felt incredible when he thought about it.
At the same time, I felt very happy.
The whole person is a little fluttery.
However, he still showed the majesty of an old father on the surface, laughing and scolding: "You bastard, stop saying nice things. I am not a fool, and I will not be flattered by your few good words."
"By the way! I heard that I encountered pirates when I went to Qinzhou this time?"
Lin Bai did not dare to neglect, and immediately explained the matter, and finally said: "Father, Zhu Kang is sitting in the navy of Lotus Island and controls almost all pirates in the nearby waters, which is a huge threat to Li Dynasty."
"All the sons took over the Longfor Shipyard and wanted to build a navy to deal with the threat of Lianhua Island."
Zhu Tianzheng had obviously known this for a long time and was not surprised at all.
He just said: "The development in Qinzhou is lagging behind, so the pirates may not like it, right? Moreover, the Jiangnan Naval Camp is not enough?"
The reason why the naval camp was stationed in the south of the Yangtze River was precisely because the south of the Yangtze River was economically developed and wealthy, and pirates coveted it. In contrast, Qinzhou was a dull place, and the pirates had little interest.
Lin Bai said: "Father, Qinzhou's backwardness is only temporary. With the development of the southwest, Qinzhou will inevitably become more and more prosperous. This move is also a precautionary measure..."
In fact, Lao Zhu is also ambitious, otherwise he would not have planned the Southwest so painstakingly.
Now that Lin Bai wants to build a navy, he does not need money from the court.
Of course he was very happy.
"good!"
He nodded immediately and said, "It's up to you to take care of this matter, but remember to take it step by step steadily."
"Also, what is your intention in classifying Qinzhou as Southwest? What is the international trade center and what is its role?"
ha?
Has this all reached Lao Zhu?
Lin Bai was confused. Although this was not nonsense, it was too advanced.
At that time, he just said this casually, never thinking...
"Back to my father, the international trade center is just my son's idea. It is still far away for the time being. There are two reasons why Qinzhou is included in the southwest."
"First, I found out that Lianhua Island trafficked Tianzhu hemp through Qinzhou. The Wangjiang waterway is too long and there are too many checks along the way, so it is impossible. This is not the case in Qinzhou. As long as Qinzhou is completely controlled and this waterway is controlled, This will cut off Lianhua Island’s wealth path, and without the wealth path of Tianzhu Hemp, Lianhua Island will definitely be extremely passive.”
Zhu Tianzheng nodded subconsciously.
Lin Bai continued: "Second, because of Dali."
"Dali has many mountains and rivers. I have already learned this from the First World War in the Southwest. It will be extremely difficult to use troops against Dali in the future. However, if the Southwest Navy is established, it will be very easy to travel by sea from Qinzhou."
Zhu Tianzheng's eyes brightened, "Do you want to use troops against Dali?"
Lin Bai said: "I haven't thought about it yet. The southwest is at a time of rapid development and it is not suitable to raise troops. However, Dali suffered a defeat. Even if it is temporarily tolerated, I am afraid that it will not give up in the future. I am just taking precautions before it happens."
"good very good!"
Zhu Tianzheng was extremely satisfied, "I don't doubt your ability, I'm just worried that you are taking too big a step. Now it seems that I am worrying too much."
Lao Zhu's face was full of relief.
The talented man suddenly felt a little ashamed.
He was completely fooling around. He never thought about it so much. He just thought that if the other party got angry one day, he would have a way to escape.
have to!
Can't blame brother.
If this continues, everyone will have a loving father and a filial son.
If the situation changes again one day, Lao Zhu will definitely turn his back, so...
The two chatted for a while, and then Zhu Tianzheng said: "Okay! You have just come back, and you must be tired from the journey. Take a good rest during this time! Get ready for the wedding."
"Also, remember to pay your respects to your mother."
"My son obeys the order!"
After seeing the talented man retreat, the smile on Zhu Tianzheng's face remained unabated.
He asked: "Old man, what should I do with my son?"
Eunuch Cao hurriedly said: "Your Majesty is a wise and holy warrior. He is a wise king. How can a tiger father have a dog son? Your Majesty, the Fourth Highness, is as talented as your Majesty. It is really a good fortune to leave the court."
"Hahaha!!"
Zhu Tianzheng laughed heartily, "Old man, you are becoming more and more shameless."
Eunuch Cao smiled sarcastically.
Zhu Tianzheng added: "However, you are right. My son does have great talents, but he is too lazy."
"Forget it! Let him rest for a few days first, and then find something for him to do after the wedding."
"In the future, the country of Dali will be handed over to him. How can he be so lazy..."
There was a glimmer of light in Eunuch Cao's cloudy eyes.
At this time, a soldier came in and said, "Your Majesty, the envoys from Dali and Wanxiang Kingdom have arrived."
"It came quite quickly!"
Zhu Tianzheng nodded, "Inform Honglu Temple and receive a high-standard reception."
"yes!"
The soldiers took the order and immediately retreated.
Eunuch Cao said: "Congratulations to Your Majesty, Dali and Wanxiang Kingdom have suffered a defeat. This time the envoys from the two countries came to discuss peace, which coincides with the wedding of His Royal Highnesses. It is just the right time for me to show my great glory."
Zhu Tianzheng showed a happy look on his face, but said: "Dali and Wanxiang Kingdom are not good things. Negotiating peace? I'm afraid it's more than that."
"Just watch! I also want to see what they are planning to do."
