"Grandpa Huang..."
He was determined to speak, a trace of determination flashing in his eyes.
Zheng He's voyages to the West were magnificent and invincible, but unfortunately he died seven times.
As one of the first players in the Age of Discovery, he missed the great geographical discoveries that followed, so that industry began to be surpassed, leading to a century of tragic history.
Zheng He's treasure ships and experiences prove that the Ming Dynasty did not lack the technology to build ships for long voyages, but it just did not persist.
If you must leave something behind in this era, then start by embarking on a great voyage.
"What do you mean by good grandson?"
Looking at Zhu Ming's appearance, Zhu Yuanzhang probably guessed that Zhu Ming wanted to say something about current affairs.
Even if he is a child and his ideas are too naive, it is always good to be interested in these things.
Therefore, Zhu Yuanzhang did not deny Zhu Ming's idea, but asked kindly.
"Ming'er thinks that we should send some people to these foreign countries to communicate with each other, so that more people can know about the power of our Ming Dynasty."
Seeing Zhu Yuanzhang ask, Zhu Ming became more determined in his idea of persuading him.
"this……"
When Zhu Yuanzhang heard Zhu Ming's suggestion, he also thought about it.
It is indeed not impossible to send people to these foreign countries to communicate and exchange knowledge.
However, he also has his own difficulties.
"Japanese pirates are rampant in this sea. We have decreed that no one is allowed to enter the sea."
Zhu Yuanzhang hesitated for a while, then lowered his head and told him about his decree to impose a sea ban.
"We are the emperor, and we have to set a good example for the people."
This is also what Zhu Yuanzhang hesitated about just now.
It is not difficult to let people go into the sea, but he cannot disobey the imperial decree he has given.
Otherwise, what will the people in this world think of him?
"So, have the Japanese pirates been relieved?"
Zhu Ming looked at Zhu Yuanzhang seriously for a rare moment and asked in a deep voice.
The Ming Dynasty's maritime ban only relieved the temporary chaos, but it did not completely solve the problem of Japanese pirates.
"Grandpa Huang, I think that among these Japanese pirates, there are also refugees from my Ming Dynasty who are causing trouble, so they keep banning them."
Zhu Ming also knew something about these. No matter how well Zhu Yuanzhang thought when he issued the decree, there were still things he couldn't see.
"The book says that you rely on mountains to eat mountains, and you rely on water to eat water. Those fishermen on the seaside make a living by fishing, but the emperor does not allow them to go to the sea. They have no livelihood, so they can only survive by plundering."
After listening to Zhu Ming's words, Zhu Yuanzhang fell silent and began to think about these words seriously.
When I was thinking about the sea ban, I really ignored the existence of these people.
Unexpectedly, Zhu Ming already had his own opinions at such a young age, which actually gave him a sudden enlightenment after being the emperor for so long.
"I just opened the sea ban, but what if those Japanese rob passing merchant ships?"
Zhu Yuanzhang unconsciously looked at Zhu Ming, a child who was only half his height, and asked.
"The book says that these Japanese are all citizens of overseas island countries. Grandpa Huang might as well go to the border with a big ship and tell their emperor."
At this moment, Zhu Ming also calmed down and began to talk about his opinions without any panic.
This is the confidence that comes from the perspective of God in later generations.
The current Japanese state is nothing in front of the Ming Dynasty.
"Tell them that either they can take care of these Japanese pirates, or we, the Ming Dynasty, can go over and help them take care of them. My Ming Dynasty is very powerful, so they must be afraid of them."
As long as the Japanese country obeys and takes care of these bandits, neither side will be able to tolerate them. As time goes by, this trouble will disappear.
Even the remaining insignificant ones are just a matter of convenience in the face of the Ming Dynasty's military power.
"Okay, okay, our dear grandson said it well."
After hearing Zhu Ming's opinions, Zhu Yuanzhang clapped his hands happily.
Especially what Zhu Ming said, either you can take care of it, or I can go over and help you take care of it.
It's really to his liking.
"You asked us to go back and think about it. I didn't expect that my good grandson would be able to deal with state affairs."
Zhu Yuanzhang laughed heartily. Among his many sons and grandsons, apart from Zhu Biao, this was the first time anyone could help him solve some state affairs.
After this discussion, he became more determined to cultivate Zhu Ming into an emperor.
"They are all taught well by sir."
Zhu Ming laughed helplessly in his heart. The future teacher was also a teacher, and he himself was not lying.
"Yunqi, call the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue and the Minister of the Ministry of Industry over here. If we have something urgent, we can see him."
As soon as he returned to Daming Palace, Zhu Yuanzhang shouted to Yun Qi.
His sweet grandson's suggestion is really feasible.
What we need to do now is to call all the ministers to discuss how to implement it.
"yes."
Yun Qi looked at Zhu Yuanzhang, who was smiling so excitedly just after returning from the palace, and was a little confused. He could only respond and retreat.
"I have met His Majesty."
Naturally, no one dared not to respond to Zhu Yuanzhang's summons. Within a moment, both the Minister of Industry and the Minister of Hubu were brought in by Yun Qi and stood respectfully in front of Zhu Yuanzhang.
"I wonder why His Majesty summoned us?"
The two ministers looked at each other and asked Zhu Yuanzhang with some confusion.
"We came to you because of the maritime ban..."
With an excited look on his face, Zhu Yuanzhang repeated what Zhu Ming had just said to him, and then quietly waited for the replies of the two ministers.
After hearing such things as sending people to the sea to foreign countries, lifting the sea ban, and controlling Japanese pirates, the two ministers also hesitated: "Your Majesty, this is a serious matter. Please go back and discuss it with the officials of various ministries."
They had never thought of such a thing before.
Unexpectedly, having a child speak out today would wake them up.
"Go back, we will know the results within three days."
Zhu Yuanzhang also knew that this kind of thing would not be resolved now, so he made the two ministers retreat with a wave of his hand.
"Let's see, our good grandson is born to be an emperor."
Zhu Yuanzhang was extremely happy when he thought that Zhu Ming could help him share government affairs at such a young age.
In comparison, the other princes and grandsons seemed a bit too bad.
"Your Majesty, it is God's blessing to have this Lin'er."
When Yun Qi saw this, he also started to flatter him.
After separating from Zhu Yuanzhang and returning to the side courtyard, Zhu Ming also dismissed the serving maids and eunuchs, and took out the navigation map from his arms.
If the maritime ban comes true, then the navigation chart in his hand will become a treasure.
As he spoke, he had already picked up a pen and started marking the somewhat incomplete navigation chart.
It doesn't matter if it's incomplete, he can still restore the world map to a rough outline by relying on the vague impressions he has of his previous life.
"Thank you teacher, luckily I didn't give all this knowledge back."
Looking at the world map that was becoming complete, Zhu Ming couldn't help but sigh.
The memory of past lives finally comes into use.
