Chapter 648 This is what the sage said

For a long time in the past, the Central Plains people's understanding of the world was limited by mountains, rivers and rivers.

This period of time can be measured in thousands of years.

It also represents the Central Plains people’s understanding of the world.

The Central Plains people first developed and expanded from the Yellow River Basin, and then developed a glorious era in the entire Central Plains region.Then the Central Plains people discovered that the world was actually bigger.

then.

The war broke out.

With rounds of wars, dynasties were established and destroyed, and dynasties alternated over and over again.

at last.

The people of the Central Plains believe that they have occupied the entire world.

Because to the east of the Central Plains is the endless sea, to the south is the jungle miasma and unattainable plateaus that can swallow armies, to the west is the yellow sand, and in the north are nomadic feuds.

As a result, the Central Plains people felt that they had occupied the entire world, and that outside the Central Plains were all barbarian lands, not worth mentioning, let alone sacrificing the lives of the Central Plains people to fight for.

This state has existed in the hearts of the Central Plains people for a long time.

It was not until the beginning of the Tang Dynasty hundreds of years ago that things gradually changed in the hearts of the Central Plains people.

The people of the Central Plains began to know the outside world, and there were more possibilities.

However, due to various reasons, the Central Plains people gave up continuing to develop outside the country.

In fact, over the long years, the Central Plains people's understanding of the world has always been at the forefront of all human groups.

Because of internal reasons and external difficulties, the rulers of the Central Plains Dynasty chose to forget their understanding of the outside world.

It's different now.

The Ming Dynasty has far greater strength than any previous dynasty, a more unified determination, and the ambitions of any era.

Even the cabinet ministers gathered in Wenyuan Pavilion at this moment don't know.

They are about to fill in the last blank territory of the world.

But they understood what could be called a speech delivered by the young emperor's grandson in the center of imperial power.

Ming Dynasty has begun to announce to everyone.

This world will completely belong to Ming Dynasty.

All unowned lands belong to the territory of the Ming Dynasty.The culture of all lands already inhabited by humans must lag behind the culture of the Central Plains, and the Central Plains people should go forward to educate them in the royal way.

As for replacing other cultures with Central Plains culture.

Such side issues are nothing compared to making the people of this world move towards a more civilized world.

Although Ren Hengtai doesn't like the country's military aggression, what has happened in the past few years and the several large-scale military operations launched by the country have loudly explained to the world that the country's foreign wars will bring huge consequences to the country. Benefits.

And such benefits will also be spread to the people within each country through court policies.

So in the face of Zhu Yunxi's announcement at this moment, Ren Hengtai, the chief minister, chose to remain silent.

Perhaps I should focus more on the ideological education of the people of the empire in the future.

As the country begins to embark on an unprecedented path, Ren Hengtai deeply believes that he should change his political goal for the rest of his life to improving the overall quality of the people.

He looked at Xie Jin silently.

Since the emperor's grandson has made his mind clear at this time.

Then the cabinet must give a response today, whether it is approval or objection, or whether it will be discussed later, there must be an explanation.

Jie Jin hasn't spoken yet.

Xu Yungong beside him coughed lightly.

"Under the whole world, is it the king's land; on the shore of the land, is it the king's ministers."

"What the ancient sages have said a long time ago, and we have been chanting for thousands of years, is that we should follow the wishes of the sages."

After saying these two sentences, Xu Yungong leaned back on the chair, held the tea cup next to him with one hand, opened the tea lid with the other hand, blew in the tea with a happy expression, and then drank it casually. tea in hand.

Jie Jin's brows jumped twice as he was robbed of his words.

This is what some sage said, but I have never heard of it.

This is just written by an unknown person in the Book of Songs, and its original meaning is not literal.

Damn the Governor's Office, in order to continue to use troops abroad, it can be said that it does everything possible!

Xie Jin cursed Xu Yungong and the military behind him in his heart.

However, Xie Jin could only keep calm on his face, and even said in agreement: "What Mr. Wei Guo said is reasonable. His Majesty the Emperor is holy in heaven and should benefit all people. Our dynasty governs the country with benevolence and filial piety, and has always treated everyone equally. All the people in the world should be treated equally." Just like the common people of our dynasty, all the people of all directions and tribes can bathe in the prosperity and grace of His Majesty the Emperor of our dynasty."

After finishing speaking, Xie Jin immediately sat down and lowered his head without saying a word.

Gao Yangzhi, who was sitting next to him, could clearly see the side of his face turning red.

This is really hard to say.

If it weren't for the country, how could Xie Jin say it out loud?

The last official to enter the cabinet, Zhai Shan, the official minister, stopped talking when he saw everyone.

Only then did he raise his head and look at the emperor's grandson above.

Zhai Shan coughed slightly, attracting everyone's attention.

A smile appeared on his face: "The sage has something to say..."

Zhai Shan just opened his mouth.

Inside the cabinet, it seemed as if a row of crows were flying over everyone's heads.

Did the sage say too much?
Jie Jin, who had lowered his head in shame, roared loudly in his heart.

Zhai Shan sat upright and said in a deep voice: "Kong Sheng said..."

As soon as he opened his mouth, Xie Jin immediately raised his head.

Kong Sheng said a lot of things, and they all made sense.

There is no way to roar or object to this.

Zhu Gaochi blinked. This was another way for him to recognize the officials of the Ming Dynasty.

Zhai Shan said softly: "There is no difference in education. Confucius once had three thousand disciples, but he never asked about their origins or origins. As long as they were willing to learn from him, he accepted them all."

There is no point in refuting this.

At that time, Saint Kong led three thousand disciples to fight (underline) and persuade (affirm) that he was invincible in the world. He relied on education and no discrimination.

Sage Kong is eight feet tall and holds an iron rod in his hand.

A picture flashed through Zhu Yunxi's mind, who was sitting above him, and he couldn't help but shudder.

He quickly looked seriously and looked at the core figures of imperial power in front of him.

"Although the Northern Pass has been pacified, the remaining evil has not yet been eradicated. However, with Tie Xuan in charge, there won't be much of a problem. But the west is getting better. There have been many barbarian merchants from the sea in recent years, but the Silk Road in the past But we still have to strive to reopen it as soon as possible to benefit the people in the northwest of Ming Dynasty."

Among the four regions of the Ming Dynasty, there is only one Western Region left that has not yet been connected. This matter was mentioned by many people in the court when the Northern Expeditionary Army returned to Beijing in triumph and was granted the title.Most of them are people from the Ministry of Revenue and the Governor's Office.

Now that Zhu Yunxi is talking about it again, it is obvious that it will be implemented from the cabinet level down.

Ren Hengtai turned slightly sideways: "Jiege's railway plan has not been approved by the cabinet yet. It's not because I don't want to, but there are still some details that need to be improved. However, I think it won't be long before we can discuss it. To be more specific, why not discuss it with the officials at the court meeting in the name of the cabinet?"

The development of the New World is on the table, and Ren Hengtai really can't think of any other reason to prevent the construction of the western railway.

Reopening the Silk Road in the Western Regions and recreating the scenes of the Han and Tang dynasties would naturally add to the emperor's authority, but at the same time it would also give cabinet ministers like them a solid posthumous reputation.

With the return of Zhu Yunwen's knowledge of the New World.

Ren Hengtai has figured out a lot of things today.

Since I can't stop the empire from going in a direction that I can't predict, then I might as well be a participant and see with my own eyes what kind of magnificent scenery there is at the end of this road.

And as Ren Hengtai took the initiative to speak at this moment.

All the cabinet ministers headed by Xie Jin immediately looked at him.

Mr. Ren actually agreed to build the Western Railway!
Everyone was surprised.

You must know that although Ren Hengtai said that it would take some time to complete the details, everyone knows that this is just a statement.

As for the details of the development and construction of the Western Railway, how did Xie Jin propose it in the cabinet at the beginning, and how will it appear in front of the court officials later.

Is the sun coming out of the west?

Even Jie Jin couldn't help but turn his head and look out the window.

Ren Hengtai just smiled, turned and cupped his hands and said, "Your Highness, I have another worry that has been lingering in my mind."

Zhu Yunxi immediately smiled.

The chief minister of the cabinet no longer intends to obstruct the Western Railway issue. Even though he is the grandson of the country's emperor, he still has to give others face.

What's more, Ren Hengtai didn't do anything wrong in the first place.

All he does is look at the future development direction of the country from his perspective.

"Please tell me, Mr. Ren."

Ren Hengtai nodded, with a rare expression on his face that he only had a long time ago and the look and appearance of the chief minister of the empire.

He spoke softly: "Now the country's four regions are about to be settled, and good news has also come from the New World. The country is now powerful, and the proposal to change the navy's name to the navy was also proposed by Wei Guogong in the cabinet on behalf of the governor.

Although the New World is currently far away from the imperial court, it will ultimately be governed by the imperial court itself.Next, the court still has to consider the long term as to how the New World should be settled and who should be in charge.

When the veteran learned that His Highness had sent men, he began to think about it, but he still couldn't figure it out.

For the sake of the country, the veteran believes that this matter must be concluded as soon as possible. "

After Ren Hengtai finished speaking, he looked directly at Zhu Yunxi above.

In his original idea, the New World naturally required a clan to be in charge, and it couldn't be just one. Three or four clans had to go there, so that they could control each other and jointly develop the new continent for the imperial court.

But asking the clan to send out three or four clan members at once?
This is obviously somewhat difficult.

But whether these selected clans are willing to go, even His Majesty the Emperor may not be willing to petition to let three or four of their sons go at once.

After all, the emperor is now old.

Not to mention the officials in the court, even the emperor himself knew that if three or four sons were really sent out by then, it would probably take several years for these sons to come back by the time Long Yu arrived.

In the cycle of heaven and earth, filial piety comes first.

Ren Hengtai felt that no matter how much he considered the country, he could not ignore the emperor's emotional problems.

But if the clan is not sent there.

So how should the imperial court deal with the disposal of the New World?
The cabinet selects civil and military officials to go there?

Although it can also play a role in controlling each other, it is always less interesting.

Even if the New World is not as vast as the Central Plains and the Four Realms, it is still not small.

In such a large land, even if there are not many natives on it, there cannot be a chief envoy comparable to the Central Plains.

This is too outrageous.

And most importantly, the sages never mentioned anything about the New World.

This leaves Ren Hengtai with nothing to learn from.

Jie Jin frowned and thought for a while, and was about to speak, but immediately stopped and lowered his head so that others would not know what he, the deputy minister of the cabinet, was thinking.

Zhu Yunxi smiled and said softly: "I have an immature idea, but I don't know if you will agree."

This already used a discussion tone.

Even Jie Jin, who had lowered his head just now, also raised his head again.

"From the perspective of conducive to the country's development of the New World, I think it is most appropriate to have someone familiar with the New World to preside over the future development of the New World."

As soon as these words were spoken, the cabinet room was filled with surprise.

Everyone was already vaguely aware of Zhu Yunxi's intentions.

I saw Zhu Yunxi then said: "If we go according to the records of the New World that were sent back today, the population of the New World must be small.

From this we can know that when we develop the New Continent in the future, the initial investment in pacifying and pacifying the local areas will be greatly reduced compared to other countries.

Then the imperial court only needs to pay more attention to how to make the development of the New World have a more beneficial impact on the imperial court's homeland of the Central Plains.

I thought that Zhu Yunwen and Sun Cheng had gone through a lot of hardships, including the soldiers they led who sacrificed their lives, and they had made great contributions to the country.

If the country wants to develop the New World, Zhu Yunwen and Sun Cheng must reward them.

And no matter how you reward them, I feel that they are not enough to recognize their merits.So I thought it would be better to let them build the new continent they discovered with their own hands?

After all, the New World is almost like a parent and child to them, and they will definitely manage it carefully.And... when everything stabilizes in the early stage and everything is on track, the court will call them back and then give them another reward, which will further show the court's attention. "

No one thought of it, or no one dared to think about it.

The emperor's grandson actually asked Zhu Yunwen to take charge of the development of the New World.

That is a key point regarding how Ming Dynasty will stand in this world in the future.

Even Ren Hengtai, who was interested in royal harmony, was extremely surprised.

Although he was vaguely aware of it when Zhu Yunxi spoke just now.

But when all this was put in front of him, Ren Hengtai wanted to object loudly.

Zhu Yunxi stood up, not intending to give these people a chance to object.

"It's just a discussion first, but I remembered that I have to go to Qianqing Palace."

As he spoke, he had already reached the door of the class room. At this time, he stopped again and looked back at everyone.

"My old man is very concerned about new things outside."
