The thief of the fortress dominates the world

Chapter 720 Forced to marry
After Jiang Chuan listened to the words of the three, he had already made a decision in his heart.Of course he knew that Liu Ji's words were the most practical and could maximize Daming's interests.

He is not a war madman. If a powerful country wants to conquer other countries, it can use many means, including economic, political, military, diplomatic and other means.In many cases, not all problems can be solved simply by relying on force, but the combination of various means and practicality can achieve the best results.

During the Korean War this time, the arrogance of the Fusang people just because of unification was completely shattered, which means that military means have already played a role.

The rest is time for political, economic, cultural and other means to be used.

"What the three of you said is very reasonable. Now that the country has just been pacified, it is really inappropriate to resort to force. Since there is a better way, this king has no reason not to adopt it. This matter is led by Bowen, with the assistance of Su Zi and Hu Ruzhen. Let me see a complete charter."

The three got up and took orders.

After talking about this matter, I talked about the Three Kingdoms of Korea.The attitude towards North Korea is different from that of Fusang at that time. The Three Kingdoms of Korea were vassal states of daimyo in history. This time, Daming also gained a lot of benefits from North Korea.

However, after a few discussions, they still felt that North Korea should be given some means.In addition to the means of war, the remaining means that can be used are nothing more than economic means, political means, and cultural means.

In terms of economic means, such as barrier-free trade, tariff reduction, free use of ports, no suppression of Ming products, low-cost purchases of North Korean products, dumping of Ming products in North Korea, etc.

In terms of culture, in fact, the three kingdoms of Korea have been assimilated by Ming culture to a very high degree. No matter the government settings, or the imperial examinations to select scholars, etc., they basically copied Ming.

Even the contents of the imperial examinations are the Four Books and Five Classics, poems and songs, which can basically be called Xiao Mingming.

Therefore, the Three Kingdoms of Korea were innately inclined to Ming Dynasty in their hearts, so they did not hesitate to take refuge in Ming Dynasty again after the fall of the Manchu Qing Dynasty.

The opinions discussed by the people on this point are that the three Korean royal families and nobles can select their children to study in Daming Taiyuan Academy, and even take the imperial examinations in Daming, and become officials in Daming, so as to link Daming and North Korea more closely from the top.

In addition, Liu Ji and Su Qin also proposed a marriage proposal.Of course, it is not from Daming to marry to North Korea, but to allow the three kingdoms of North Korea to select royal princesses to marry to Daming, as another means of restraining North Korea.

It goes without saying who to marry.

Regarding this point, Jiang Chuan was really hesitant in his heart. Firstly, he was going to get married soon, and secondly, he still had some resistance to this kind of thing in his heart.

So he didn't respond to the two's suggestions, and said that he would talk about it later.

The three of them looked at each other, and they all knew that their highness had always been relatively conservative in matters of men and women, and it was surprising how conservative he was.

For example, Liu Ji, Hu Zongxian, and Su Qin, the three old guys, have only been in the capital for more than a year, and each of them has at least begged for two concubines.

Su Qin was younger, more energetic, and asked for an extra room.

Even Di Qing, who has always been serious, has a bed-warming girl in the capital.

All the civil servants and generals under him have caring people who can warm their beds, but our Highness the Regent has always been short of a mistress.

Although everyone knows that there are many women around His Highness, so far none of them has been in the house. This makes everyone secretly anxious. They have discussed in private how many times, and have reminded Jiang Chuan in various explicit and implicit ways.

His Highness seemed to want to avoid this question again, the three of them looked at each other, and Liu Jixian said: "Your Highness, the affairs of Fusang and North Korea are not in a hurry. The old man thinks that the most important thing right now is His Highness's wedding. "

"His Royal Highness's big wedding is not a marriage of ordinary people, but a major issue related to the people's livelihood of the country. Your Highness doesn't dare to delay any longer, and should put it on the agenda as soon as possible. The sooner the wedding, the sooner the little prince will be born. For It is a great thing to stabilize the society and the people." Su Qin also echoed.

"What the two adults said is very true. The government and the public are talking about His Highness's unmarried up to now. Even we old guys are worried about His Highness. Your Highness can no longer refuse." Hu Zongxian also persuaded bluntly.

Jiang Chuan felt a little dizzy when he heard it, and had a sense of déjà vu that he was urged to marry by his parents and elders in his previous life.

In his previous life, he had a bit of marriage phobia. He has been procrastinating and procrastinating about his parents' urging marriage, and even often had the idea of ​​not getting married for the rest of his life.

After thinking about it carefully, the real reason why many people fear marriage is still because of poverty.Once you get married, you will be locked up for the rest of your life, and the space for advancing and retreating in your life will become very narrow.When you are alone, you can live freely, but once you get married, you will be put on heavy shackles, and you will become a slave who lives for your family and children, and your own life is almost useless, not to mention the quality of life.

In this life, although it is now No. 1 in the world, it can be said that there are no economic problems at all.But I didn't expect to be urged to marry in the end, and my marriage has become a major factor affecting the stability of the empire.

Getting married is for the country and the people.

In fact, think about it, not all emperors in history are like this. Marrying wives is basically a political marriage.

As a monk on the way, at least he and Bai Jinxiu fell in love freely, and they were happy with each other, at least he didn't arrange for him to be a stranger.

In the past, you could justify it by saying that the world is not yet peaceful, but this time you were forced to marry by three confidant ministers, and you can't find an excuse to refuse, so you can only nod your head and say: "Since the three of you said so, then ask Qin Tianjian to take a look." Days, let the Ministry of Rites start preparations."

Bai Jinxiu has sent a message back and will return to the capital in a few days.

When the three of them heard that Jiang Chuan was relieved, they were immediately overjoyed and looked at each other. Liu Ji immediately took out a piece of paper from his sleeve and presented it to Jiang Chuan with a smile: "Your Highness, the old minister has already asked Zhang Jianling of the Qin Tianjian. He said that two months later, August [-]th is an excellent auspicious day for getting married. The Ministry of Rites has already started preparations two months ago. As long as His Highness nods, we old guys will take care of the rest. "

Su Qin also smiled and said: "That's right, now that the world is peaceful, His Highness should enjoy the happiness of human relations. Otherwise, we servants can only go back and send those concubines back to their natal families."

Su Qin's words made everyone burst into laughter, Jiang Chuan was helpless, knowing that they had come prepared, he had no choice but to say: "It's all up to you, this king is waiting to be the groom's official."

Only then did the three of them bow together and shout loudly: "Your Highness is wise!"
