My father Zhu Gaoxu

Chapter 98 Destroy you, what does it have to do with you?

In Zhu Zhanhe's study, Yao Guangxiao slowly turned the globe on the table, his face full of disbelief.

"This...is the world we live in?"

After a while, Yao Guangxiao asked Zhu Zhanhe in a hoarse voice.

"That's right, although the area of ​​sea water above it is larger, I still like to call it the Earth, after all we live on land."

Zhu Zhanhe nodded.

Yao Guangxiao turned the globe a few times, and finally stopped at Daming's position.

"I thought the world was Da Ming, and Da Ming was the world, but now it seems that compared with the land of the whole world, Da Ming is even less than [-]%!"

Yao Guangxiao exclaimed again.

Sun Ruowei knew what Hun Tian said, and of course Yao Guangxiao knew better, but it was the first time he saw the real appearance of this world.

"Actually, we are already quite good. Counting from Emperor Yan and Huang, our Huaxia began to expand outward from the Yellow River. Through the efforts of successive dynasties, we defeated countless powerful enemies and finally expanded our territory to the limit."

Having said this, Zhu Zhanhe stretched out his hand to draw a circle around Daming and continued.

"Look around our Daming, the east is the sea, the west is the plateau and the Gobi, the north is the grassland, and the south is the hot and humid land where miasma is rampant. Basically, there is no place to expand."

"No wonder you attach so much importance to the fleet sailing to the west, and you even want to participate in it. The world is so vast. If my Ming's fleet spans the four seas, it will bring immeasurable wealth!"

Yao Guangxiao finally realized Zhu Zhanhe's painstaking efforts.

"That's right, our Ming Dynasty now needs people, ships, technology, and goods. With such good conditions, if we stick to the corner of Central Continent, wouldn't it be a waste of money?"

At the end of Zhu Zhanhe's words, he also showed a heartbroken expression.

Every time he saw the history of Zheng He's voyages in later generations, he always felt uncomfortable in his heart. Such a powerful fleet did nothing except parade around the sea for a few laps!did nothing!did nothing!

"Hearing what you mean, son, it seems that you are not limited to doing business. Do you still want to occupy land overseas?"

Yao Guangxiao was very keenly aware of the ambition in Zhu Zhanhe's words, and immediately frowned and asked again.

Zhu Zhanhe didn't hide it, and asked directly: "Master, you know the past and the present, so you should be very clear about the reasons for the demise of the past dynasties, right?"

"The demise of the past dynasties has its own reasons, but land annexation is the main reason."

Yao Guangxiao replied that the concept of land annexation has been around for a long time, especially in the Song Dynasty. Although many insightful people at that time saw the evil results of land annexation, they could not change it.

"That's right, the rise and fall of all dynasties is actually related to the land. When a dynasty was founded, the population was greatly reduced due to the war in the early stage, so that most people had enough land, so the dynasty showed a trend of prosperity. .”

Zhu Zhanhe paused at this point.

"But in the later period of the dynasty, the population increased greatly, and the land was concentrated in the hands of a few powerful nobles. The invasion of foreign tribes will hasten the demise of the empire."

"I understand!"

Yao Guangxiao said excitedly as he slapped the table.

"Since Daming's land can no longer be increased, it is better to expand outwards and move the excess population overseas. In this way, the conflict between people and land will naturally disappear, and my Ming can last forever, jumping out of the rise and fall of the dynasty. circle!"

"Young master is right, this is exactly what I think in my heart!"

Zhu Zhanhe nodded immediately.

Of course, it is still impossible to jump out of the circle of the rise and fall of dynasties only by migrating the population out, but it has provided people like Yao Guangxiao with a new way of thinking.

"My lord, please tell me quickly, which overseas lands are more suitable for cultivation and settlement?"

Yao Guangxiao excitedly pointed at the globe again and asked Zhu Zhanhe.

"That's too much. For example, several large islands in Southeast Asia, although hot and humid, as long as the land can be reclaimed, it is very suitable for planting spices or rice, and these islands are also rich in gold and copper. A fertile land."

"If you think it's too troublesome to reclaim wasteland, you can also go to the West. Tianzhu has a large population, and a lot of land has been cultivated for many years, so it can be used directly..."

Zhu Zhanhe moved his finger on the globe, explaining the situation of this area to Yao Guangxiao.

Yao Guangxiao also listened very carefully, and would ask a few questions from time to time.

The two of them had a tacit understanding, and neither of them mentioned the original residents of these lands, as if these lands were all unclaimed lands.

It's not that they forgot, but they all know a truth: when people want to build a house on a piece of land, they will never ask the opinions of those snakes, rats, rats and ants on this piece of land.

To borrow a sentence from the Three-Body Problem in later generations: What does it have to do with you if you are destroyed?
It's not that Zhu Zhanhe is cold-blooded, but that in the original history, a certain group of people has already done all the things he planned, and in the end, not only was he not punished, but he became a representative of the civilized world. Sometimes the world is so ridiculous .

After Zhu Zhanhe finished speaking, Yao Guangxiao also closed his eyes to digest the new knowledge.

After a while, Yao Guangxiao opened his eyes and looked at Zhu Zhanhe, and suddenly asked with a smile, "Where did you know all this?"

"A foreign merchant!"

Zhu Zhanhe has long been proficient in telling lies. Anyway, this foreign businessman has already died once, and it doesn't matter if he dies again.

"Let me guess, this foreign businessman is definitely not alive?"

Yao Guangxiao asked with a playful smile.

"Young master is really clever, this foreign businessman has indeed passed away due to acclimatization!"

Zhu Zhanhe had a thick skin, and replied with an unchanged expression.

"Then where is his body?"

Yao Guangxiao deliberately made things difficult.

"According to their customs, I have cremated his body and scattered his ashes into the Yangtze River according to his last wish, and finally flowed into the sea. I hope he can return to his hometown along the sea."

At the end of Zhu Zhanhe's speech, he deliberately showed a distressed expression.

Yao Guangxiao was also speechless at this time, it is rare to be able to play a scoundrel to Zhu Zhanhe's level.

In the end Yao Guangxiao bid farewell and left, and Zhu Zhanhe personally sent him out of the palace.

"By the way, can you give me one of your globes?"

When Yao Guangxiao left, he suddenly asked Zhu Zhanhe.

"No problem, I'll have someone make another one and send it to the young master in a few days."

Zhu Zhanhe immediately agreed.

Yao Guangxiao nodded his thanks, then turned and left the palace.

After seeing Yao Guangxiao off, Zhu Zhanhe returned to his room, and finally had time to think about the allocation of ships.

But before Zhu Zhanhe could figure it out, he suddenly saw Princess Han leading someone into the room.

"Mother, why are you here?"

Zhu Zhanhe hurriedly stood up and stepped forward to greet him.

"Give you some clothes!"

Princess Han waved back as she spoke, and immediately a maid came forward with a tray.

"What clothes to give? I don't lack clothes..."

Before Zhu Zhanhe finished speaking, when he saw the clothes in the tray, he was stunned.

On the tray, there were a dozen neatly placed underpants, which were the boxer underpants he was wearing.

"Mom, where did you get these underwear?"

Zhu Zhanhe asked in puzzlement, besides him, does anyone else know boxer briefs?Or someone crossed over again?

"Of course I bought it. This kind of underwear has only recently appeared. It is said that it can guarantee the birth of a son. You can wear it from today and strive to give me a big fat grandson after marriage!"

When Princess Han talked about her grandson, her round face also smiled like a flower.

"Give birth to a son? Why do these words sound so familiar?"

Zhu Zhanhe blinked, and then remembered that when Zhu Di forced him to take off his clothes to swim, he used the words of having a son to prevaricate.

"Where did you get those underwear?"

Zhu Zhanhe was suddenly annoyed that someone had stolen his idea. Well, strictly speaking, he copied it from later generations, but he was still very angry.

"Speaking of this makes me angry!"

Unexpectedly, Princess Han's face was serious, and she said with an unhappy face.

"Behind that clothing store is Uncle Pengcheng, your aunt's natal family. If I hadn't heard that the underwear is magical, I wouldn't have bought anything from them!"

Concubine Han also had a look of indignation at the end, because the business of this kind of underwear is very hot. Seeing her sister-in-law making money, she is of course jealous.

Zhu Zhanhe slapped his head when he heard this, and he finally understood that Zhu Gaochi must have seen the underwear he was wearing and told the princess after returning home. As a result, the princess, who has a keen sense of business, saw the business opportunity, which made her natal family Made a fortune.

"I can't let my mother know that the underwear is my idea, otherwise she will definitely go crazy!"

Zhu Zhanhe murmured in his heart, vaguely feeling that his ears hurt again.

At this moment, Sun Ruowei walked in from the outside. When she saw the underwear on the tray, she thought it was made for Zhu Zhanhe by herself before. Seeing that Princess Han was there, she was even more ashamed and anxious.

So Sun Ruowei stepped forward quickly, grabbed the panties in his arms, and then saluted Han Wangfei: "The slave girl is like a red girl, and the panties she made are not good-looking, so the princess laughed!"

"What do you make underwear? It's obviously my people just bought it!"

Princess Han was also confused when she heard Sun Ruowei's words.

"How is it possible? The prince obviously asked me to make these underwear, and he also said that he was the only one in the whole capital to wear them. How could it be possible to buy them outside?"

Sun Ruowei was also confused, and opened the panties in his hand as he spoke, only to find that although the panties were the same style as the ones she made, they were indeed not the ones she made.

Princess Han finally felt that something was wrong when she heard Sun Ruowei's words, and immediately turned her head to look at Zhu Zhanhe.

In the end, I saw Zhu Zhanhe tiptoeing outside, when he saw Han Wangfei found him, he immediately smiled awkwardly and said: "Mother, you talk, I'll go to the latrine!"

"Come back to me, what the hell is going on with these underwear?"

Princess Han asked angrily.

"It's all my uncle's fault. I went swimming with him in the palace last time. When he saw the underwear I was wearing, I casually said something to him, but I didn't expect him to take it seriously and told my aunt about it, so... ..."

Zhu Zhanhe didn't dare to hide anything, he confessed everything like beans poured out of a bamboo tube.

"Okay, you prodigal son, you are obviously our family's way of making money, yet you are taking advantage of outsiders!"

As Princess Han said, she stepped forward and stretched out her hand to pinch Zhu Zhanhe's ear.

In fact, this kind of underwear business is really let Han Wangfei do it. I'm afraid she will feel ashamed, but this thing is really annoying. It was obviously an idea thought up by her son, but it was snatched away by others, especially the princess. How can I swallow this breath?

Seeing that his ears were going to suffer again, Zhu Zhanhe suddenly had a flash of inspiration, and immediately shouted: "Mother, please be merciful, I still have a huge business here!"

"Big deal? Don't try to fool my old lady!"

Han Wangfei sneered, but she didn't believe it at all, and said that she had already screwed Zhu Zhanhe's ear.

"It's really a huge business, and it's also related to the voyage to the West. Grandpa Huang personally promised me that you will not only make money, but also earn enough face. All the noble ladies in the capital will scramble to curry favor with you! "

Zhu Zhanhe hurriedly explained that in order to increase credibility, he also moved Zhu Di out.
