Zhu Youzhen looked at Wang Chengen and looked at it for a long time before he closed his eyes helplessly. As soon as the eyelids closed, the tears in the eyes almost flowed out.

Wang Chengen looked at Zhu Youzhen's expression, and gradually couldn't cry. He lay on the threshold with a sad face, as if the sky was falling and he could not do anything, and there seemed to be an indescribable vicissitudes of life.

After a long time, Zhu Youzhen opened his eyes. There were no tears in his eyes, but there was more firmness, and he said to Wang Chengen: "Wang Chengen, you are too persistent. ”

Wang Chengen raised his head and said dumbfoundedly: "I... I..."

Zhu Youzhen no longer looked at Wang Chengen and turned his head to Li Zhi.

Li Zhi looked at Zhu Youzhen curiously, not knowing what this Emperor of the Great Ming Dynasty would say.

After a long time, Zhu Youzhen sighed and said slowly: "The sinner Zhu Youzhen has been in this house for three years, but he has seen that the scene in this town is different from day to day. When I first came three years ago, the peasants didn't have enough to eat, and they all looked like beggars. And now the peasants in the countryside have begun to come to the town to buy meat and tear cloth to make clothes. In the past few months, several farmers have come to buy wine. ”

"The shops in the town used to be in tatters, and there were only four or five things sold in seven or eight stores combined. But now there are more and more kinds of things sold, cakes, high-quality wheat seeds, farm tools, and even mutton are sold. Some shops have also begun to renovate their facades, turning their dilapidated wooden houses into brick houses. ”

"There are more and more literate people in the town, and there are several primary school students and even middle school students in every family. When the water trucks were installed in the villages below the town, the county did not send engineers at all, only a few manuals were delivered. The middle school students looked at the instructions and led the villagers to load the waterwheel. Later, I even figured out how to use it. ”

"Before, this was unimaginable."

"Now all the townspeople in the town worship the Great Qi Imperial Court very much. The official documents posted by the imperial court in the town, and the people gathered around to see them one by one. No one said badly, and if someone said that the court was bad, they would definitely be attacked and scolded by other people. ”

Hearing Zhu Youzhen's words, Li Zhi was thoughtful and did not speak.

Zhu Youzhen sighed and said, "It's really different. I used to come out a few times when I was in Beijing, and the depression in the countryside... All industries are withering... When it comes to the year of hunger, Guanyin soil can't be found. ”

"Everything is different now."

"Now that even Europe has been beaten down, the wealth of Europe will become Han Chinese in the future."

Sighing, Zhu Youzhen shook his head and said, "Who would have dared to think? How did the Han people, who were like sheep under the butcher's knife of the Tartars, become so pioneering and enterprising? It's really, unthinkable. “

After a pause, Zhu Youzhen said: "It's amazing. ”

Li Zhi nodded and said, "It's really wonderful, I sometimes think it's wonderful." I didn't expect this nation to be so powerful. “

Hearing Li Zhi's words, Zhu Youzhen suddenly smiled. Li Zhi admitted that he was not omniscient and omnipotent, and admitted that he also had things that he couldn't think of, which made Zhu Youzhen very relieved. It's like one person has been fighting with another person for a long time, and he has lost a lot, but suddenly he finds that his opponent actually has shortcomings, and he is suddenly relieved.

Zhu Youzhen shook his head and smiled again.

He closed his eyes for a moment, as if he had finally made up his mind.

Zhu Youzhen said word by word: "These things that Daqi did were not possible in the previous imperial court. These feats made by Daqi are unprecedented. Saint, saint, you are the emperor of the ages, and everyone in the world knows it. ”

Wang Chengen, who was outside the threshold, raised his head again and said with a groan: "Master..."

Zhu Youzhen didn't look at Wang Chengen, he was silent for a while, and finally said: "I have been thinking about it for three years, and I finally figured it out. “

"It is the mandate of heaven and a matter of course for Daqi to replace Daming. Da Ming is already rotten, no one can save him, and he should be replaced by Da Qi. The world of Daqi is not usurped, it is the hope of the people, and the destiny of heaven is based! “

As soon as Zhu Youzhen said this, he completely recognized the great glory of the Great Qi Dynasty. Li Zhi did not mutilate Zhu Youzhen, and did not even monitor and control him, but this emperor took the initiative to recognize the legitimacy of Daqi's replacement of the Ming Dynasty when no one threatened him.

When this sentence comes out, it is definitely going to be in the history books. Even if the literati of later generations want to scold Li Zhi for being a traitor and a thief, they will be choked by Zhu Youzhen's words and will not be able to speak.

Zhu Youzhen admits the correctness of Li Zhi's change of dynasty, who else is qualified to scold Li Zhi?

When Wang Chengen on the ground heard this, his body suddenly loosened, and the movements that had been frozen on the ground suddenly became loose. He lowered his head weakly, and in an instant it seemed as if he had lost all pride and persistence.

Li Laosi was also surprised that Zhu Youzhen said so thoroughly, and raised his eyebrows to look at Zhu Youzhen. After looking at Zhu Youzhen, he looked at Li Zhi again.

Li Zhi looked at Zhu Youzhen quietly and did not speak.

Li Zhi didn't have any happy or joyful expressions. After all, Li Zhi has already defeated Europe, and he is not far from ruling this world. Although it was difficult to manage the whole world with the communication technology of this era, and the political system of Daqi was estimated to be a loose system of decentralization for a long time, with power delegated to the governors of each region, Li Zhi was the supreme decision-maker anyway. For Li Zhi, Zhu Youzhen's attitude had little impact on the Great Qi Dynasty.

After a long time, Li Zhicai said: "You finally figured it out." “

Nodding, Li Zhi said, "I'm very happy that you can communicate." “

"Do you have any requirements?"

Zhu Youzhen smiled and said, "The common people don't have any requirements, it's good now." “

After hearing this, Li Zhi looked at the medical skills on the bookshelf and asked lightly, "Do you have any gains from learning these medical books?" “

Zhu Youzhen sighed and said, "I'm old, I can't memorize these medical books." It's just barely memorized, and I can't always remember when I prescribe a prescription. “

Li Zhi looked at Wang Chengen, then at Zhu Youzhen, and asked, "Now that there are more and more literate people, it is not a long-term solution to help people write letters. What will happen to you two in the future? “

Zhu Youzhen was stunned.

Looking at the courtyard gate outside, Zhu Youzhen said: "Shuren is a sinner, and if he can live a day, he won't think about him in the future." “

Li Zhi asked, "I heard that you still have three children who are minors. When this child grows up, he spends more and more, how can he support him by relying on your wife and concubine as a female celebrity? “

Hearing this, a bitter color appeared on Zhu Youzhen's face, and he sighed weakly.

Li Zhi nodded and said, "Actually, there are plenty of places for overseas reclamation now. Every Han Chinese who signed up for overseas colonization could get a hundred acres of wheat land overseas. The imperial court also lent seeds, grain, agricultural tools, and machinery to the immigrants who had cleared the land, and provided them with technology to ensure the success of overseas reclamation. ”

Zhu Youzhen raised his head in surprise and looked at Li Zhi.

Li Zhi thought for a while and said, "Zhu Youzhen! You go to southern Australia to be a landlord and manage dozens of local brown-skinned aborigines, which I think is also a way out. “
