"Your Majesty, Weichen was in a hurry to go home just now, and he forgot something important!" Liu Hong gradually turned back again.

Chongzhen motioned for him to continue.

"Now that the times are turbulent, Jinyiwei is difficult to support alone, and Weichen suggested that the emperor reopen the East Factory." Liu Hong gradually arched his hand and said.

"Why did Aiqing say this, I trust Jinyiwei very much, if there are not enough people, it will be recruited!"

Chongzhen was speechless, the reopening of the East Factory must divide the power of Jinyiwei, just now it was the Governor of Jiliao, and now it is Jinyiwei, is the power not good? Why is it always so shirked?

Judging from Chongzhen's inherent concept, he felt more and more that this young An Guohou had a phobia of power.

"Definitely! Your Majesty, Jinyiwei has more important things to do! ”

This is Liu Hong's idea after careful consideration, it is useless to shout every day that Yongchen is misleading the country, and even now, Chongzhen does not realize the importance of the right to supervise.

Jinyiwei is directly responsible to the emperor, from hundreds of officials down to Li Min, and even the emperor's relatives, in case of illegal things, they can bypass the criminal department and the inspectorate and directly arrest them into the edict prison within Jinyiwei.

Of course, domestic affairs are chaotic, but no matter how chaotic they are, they are nothing more than corruption, bribery, and a disaster and trouble somewhere from time to time.

Liu Honggradually paid more attention to international affairs at this time, and it was already the middle of the seventeenth century, and others did not know, but he knew that the Age of Exploration had come.

The Renaissance movement in Europe was already fruitful, and the Thirty Years' War was coming to an end.

A vigorous bourgeois revolution was launched in England......

The Dutch coachman, the overlord of the sea, has the wheels of the wheels and has the strongest economic power in the world......

The Rakshasa Romanov dynasty was thriving in search of an outlet to the sea......

The warships of the Francis (Portugal, Spain) sailed across the Atlantic, engaged in a heinous triangular trade......

And what about Da Ming? Closed along the coast, in endless infighting.

In fact, from 1580 onwards, the Ming Dynasty was surpassed by these powers both economically and militarily, and lost its status as the world hegemon.

It's the best generation and it's the worst generation.

If you want to get a piece of the pie, Daming must always pay attention to the dynamics of the world's countries, and if Jinyiwei is in charge of both internal and external affairs, it will inevitably be overwhelmed, and more manpower is needed, resulting in redundant institutions and reduced efficiency.

Therefore, it is imperative to reopen the East Factory.

"Your Majesty, there is not only the Ming Dynasty in this world, as far as the minister knows, in the west of the Ming Dynasty, it is the Western Domain, and in the further west of the Western Domain, there is a larger territory, where there are many peoples and countries.

Even if they are as powerful as the Ming Dynasty, there are at least five or six of them, and they are all trying to conquer the Ming Dynasty, and if the Ming wants to stand in the forest of the world, they must always pay attention there. ”

Liu Honggradually didn't know how much Chongzhen knew about the West, so he could only say it simply and straightforwardly.

"I've heard from a few scholars who said that those people are all lowly white-haired ghosts, and they only come to our Ming just to buy my Ming silk and porcelain.

Is Aiqing alarmist, I will be going to recruit troops on a large scale next year, and I can't beat a few colorful people? ”

Chongzhen was very dissatisfied with Liu Hong's relinquishment of power.

"Your Majesty, how dare the ministers deceive the emperor, those high-nosed monsters are really very good, by the way, there is also a territory that is not smaller than the Ming Dynasty to the east of the Ming Dynasty, where there is a silver mine, a super large silver mine.

Further west across the entire East China Sea, there is a super large gold mine, gold, silver, the emperor, there is a big one! ”

Daming lacked silver, of course Chongzhen knew, otherwise Zhu Chongba would not have been able to issue banknotes (there was still a shortage of copper at that time).

"Is that true? Aiqing doesn't want to be fooled! When he heard that there was a lot of silver outside, Chongzhen was really interested.

"Even if the minister deceives everyone in the world, how dare he deceive the emperor! Chen still wants to live a few more years and have a bunch of children! ”

Seeing that Chongzhen finally got on the road, Liu Hong gradually relieved himself.

"Before, the factory guards made the court miserable, and I couldn't stand the persuasion of the ministers to remove the East Investigation Factory, and abandoned the Jinyi Guard.

Now that the East Factory is going to be reopened, the courtiers will definitely not agree, and the order will be issued when the time comes, and the insults will fly all over the sky again......"

Chongzhen was worried.

The old problem has been committed again, and I want to save face!

"You are a king, they are ministers, and there will be no less meat when scolding, don't forget, the emperor, you have a knife!"

Liu Hongjian is a little stubborn about this uncle, who loves to save face, and he simply hates iron and steel.

"Okay, I'll discuss it with my eldest companion in the next few days! Let him start as soon as possible and reopen the East Investigation Factory! ”

Chongzhen's eldest companion must be Wang Chengen, but this guy is old, and he was injured at the beginning of the year, and his health has not been very good, and now he rarely appears in the court.

But in Chongzhen's heart, if you talk about trust, in addition to An Guohou Liu Hongchuan, it is the eunuch Wang Chengen, who is the master of ceremonies, in fact, if you really want to rank, Liu Hongjian has to be ranked behind Lao Wang.

After all, Lao Wang has been by Chongzhen's side for seventeen years, and he has a record of defending the capital to the death.

"So Wei Chen retired!"

Chongzhen was in a trance, and seemed to be in a memory, and Liu Hongjian was inconvenient to disturb, and after bowing, he withdrew from the Dongnuan Pavilion.

Out of the palace, the carriage of An Guobo's Mansion was already waiting here.

It had just snowed heavily, and although it was already afternoon, the streets of Beijing were still deserted.

Two beggars, wrapped in tattered clothes, trembled down the snow-covered streets, carrying a broken bowl in their cracked and dirty hands, hoping for something to eat from a well-wisher.

From time to time, officials from the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division led the carriage to Liu Hong, and Liu Hong gradually opened the curtain to take a look, only to see a few pairs of bare feet exposed at the rear of the carriage.

A few more froze to death......

Thin clothes are not resistant to the cold, this is still the capital, Beizhili and Shuntianfu don't know how much they have to freeze to death every day!

Liu Hong gradually returned to the mansion with a heavy heart.

In the outer courtyard, the father is playing chess with Niu Danian, and on this cold day, these two nervous people can be happy wrapped in big cotton robes.

Walking through the outer courtyard, Xiaolan was sweeping the snow with a broom, Sun Xiuxiu and Yang Xue'er stood at the door of the house and didn't know what they were talking about, and Yang Xue'er covered her mouth and smiled.

"Ahem......" suddenly had two beautiful wives, which was somewhat unaccustomed to Liu Hongji, who was still a single Wang in his previous life.

"My husband is back."

"The master is back." The two saw Liu Hong gradually coming in a big robe, and hurriedly greeted him in unison.

"You are pregnant, why do you have to run outside on this cold day, how can it be good if you have a cold!"

Liu Hong gradually pretended to be angry, but walked up to Sun Xiuxiu and grabbed Sun Xiuxiu's hand to warm up.

"There is a charcoal fire in the house, it's too stuffy, Sister Xue'er said that walking out to breathe is good for the fetus."

Sun Xiuxiu knew that Liu Hongjian was not really angry, and said a little coquettishly.

"As far as you know, go back to the house for Master Ben, and open the window if it's too stuffy."

Liu Hong gradually pinched Yang Xue's cheek as punishment, and hugged the two of them around their waists and entered the room with his left and right hands.

After all, Yang Xueer is new to personnel, although she has nothing to talk about with Sun Xiuxiu, but when she sees Liu Hong, she is inevitably a little unable to let go.

was hugged in front of Sun Xiuxiu, and his face turned red for a while, and he didn't know whether he was shy or secretly happy.

But who knew that before Liu Hong could gradually enter the room and warm up with the two, the cow big stick mallet was screaming outside with a broken gong.

"Master, those people from Shanhaiguan are here!"
