There was a lot of discussion in the audience of Minglun Hall, and half an hour had passed to eleven o'clock. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info but everyone didn't feel that time had passed in order.

Zhu Cihong motioned for everyone to get up and ask questions. Zhu Cihong can answer all the situations in the world, and then there are fewer people who stand up and ask questions, but there are more admiration. Leaving aside his identity, Zhu Cihong is studying every day. When you don't need to worry about wealth, work is no longer a task to make money, but a way to achieve your ideal ambitions in life.

It's like doing handicrafts, when you don't make money, the things you make are exquisite and beautiful, and you can taste the fun of the period. However, if it is a product that is taken out and sold, it will inevitably be considered as a profit on power consumption, which will be a big loss.

Zhu Cihong looked at the map with relish, as if he was looking at a peerless beauty. The territory of the Ming Dynasty is still like a rooster in later generations. Feet on Hainan and Taiwan. It's just that compared to the territory of later generations, today's Ming Dynasty is obviously more fat.

First of all, the entire region of North Asia, Mongolia and Siberia, was marked with a red background color by His Majesty the Emperor. The whole of Central Asia all the way to the Caspian Sea, the whole Indochina Peninsula all the way to Vietnam, and North Korea, are marked with the red color that belongs to the Ming Dynasty. Although many of these places are not under the realm of actual control, some maps mean that they are open to the frontier.

But this clearly represents his will, and it also means that the empire will really carry it out in the future.

Of course, there is also a yellow dotted line that encloses most of the eastern hemisphere such as Southeast Asia, Japan, Australia, and the Indochina Peninsula.

This represents the area that the Ming Dynasty will expand in the near future.

Zhu Cihong showed the map and explained the scene, and gradually there was no problem in being present, and then he spoke: "The east side of the earth will be the place where the Chinese Alliance will expand in the next ten years. The East will rise here. But again, we will face a challenge from the West. Our challenges are not only due to indigenous people, the harsh climate, huge initial costs, and lack of health care and funding. More importantly, our competitors. In order to seize the vast resource space in the world, all-round challenges will inevitably erupt, including science and technology, trade, culture, and military. ”

Zhu Cihong said, pausing. On the side, Li Yun'er quickly held a cup of hot tea and handed it over. Zhu Cihong put down the empty teacup and thanked him with a smile.

Taking advantage of this free time, the audience exploded into a nest, and everyone was discussing, but they insisted on their own words.

After a few words of approval, doubts and criticisms rang out one after another.

Zheng Yongwen of Zhongxiang Mansion saw the hesitation in Li Qianzong's eyes, and immediately got up and said: "Although the world is big, there are few places to live. The barbarian places on the islands are all smoky places. The people do not know etiquette, and the land is thousands of miles away. If you spend millions of gold and silver, in exchange for a territory, it will inevitably cost some Taiwan. ”

The implication is that there is really nothing worth seeing in those places.

When everyone heard this, they couldn't help but nod their heads in agreement. Even an official like Jin Shangxian, who is quite friendly to the Ming Dynasty, couldn't help but hesitate at this moment.

Finance is a big problem.

The Ming Dynasty defeated Jiannu, destroyed the country and Qing Guo, and even made a Liao order, as well as a large amount of silver that sold the house. Coupled with the flexible fiscal capacity brought about by the restoration of credit by paper money. The financial situation of the Ming Dynasty can be described as the best period in the history.

But North Korea is obviously not at all comparable to the Ming Dynasty. Not only did he need to pay tribute to the Qing Dynasty, pay for logistics and salaries, and serve the army, but he even withered North Korea's tax revenue because of the two chaos of Ding Mao and Bingzi, and the imperial court's financial situation continued to run deficit, until there were more tariffs.

In this case, following the chariot of the Ming Dynasty to open up together, it is obviously a little bold.

Money is a man's guts, and this saying is quite similar to that used in the North Korean court.

Zhu Cihong listened to everyone's doubts, but he was not surprised, and he was not a little disappointed. It is naturally good to pull the North Korean officials to act together, but Zhu Cihong does not expect the North Korean officials to have much ability.

He just wanted to expand his power as much as he could. After all, the annexation of North Korea is difficult and the gains outweigh the losses, so how to play the diplomatic card well is the core.

No matter how strong a person is, he always needs some younger brothers to help strengthen his strength.

Therefore, Zhu Cihong's target was quite a few local Korean gentry. Like what...... Song Dongwon, these powerful North Korean factions who have gradually stepped onto the Ming chariot in Incheon.

Song Dongyuan listened very carefully. Since following Wu Sangui to set up a workshop, the Song family has made a lot of money and continued to expand. It's a pity that the canned food market in Incheon quickly became saturated. Although I went to sell it in other places, it didn't go well.

However, the rest of the plantations are doing well.

However, land resources are always limited, and the contradiction between man and land in North Korea is also very prominent. At this time, everyone is invariably eyeing foreign countries.

For example, the expeditionary company has recently planned to raise agitation and recruit residents to develop settlements in Taiwan.

Overseas, the land there is almost unlimited, and as long as you have the ability, you can cultivate it.

"That's the old way I said. The term "land of smoke miasma" is not necessarily the case, this word was first used to describe Jiangnan, to describe Lingnan. For example, Jingchu Huguang in the Ming Dynasty, and even Suzhou and Hangzhou. Even, there is also a description of the land of Samhan as a land of smoke miasma. But what now? Zhu Cihong looked at Zheng Yongwen with a smile.

When Zheng Yongwen heard this, he wanted to argue strongly, but he was quickly asked.

Hunan and Hubei are the granaries of the Ming Dynasty, and the wealth of Lingnan is a rare place of calm in the late Ming Dynasty.

Zhu Cihong silently threw out a comment of the five scumbags, looked around at everyone, and waited for the next challenger.

Sure enough, another person stood up, and everyone looked sideways. This one turned out to be Li Hao, the son of Zhaoxian of North Korea.

"Your Majesty actually has a little doubt. It is a good thing to expand the territory. However, whose territory is this conquered? Li Hao's eyes burned.

Zhu Cihong looked at Li Hao and keenly felt some unkindness: "Expanding the territory and territory, except for the Ming Dynasty, I don't plan to carry out the official name in various vassal states for the time being. My meaning is to be like an expeditionary company, in the form of a company, registered in the territory of the Ming Dynasty, and accepted the jurisdiction of the Ming Dynasty in the form of a Ming colonial company. Of course, the imperial court also granted the right to use weapons in overseas territory and set up organizations to govern colonies according to different types of colonial companies. ”

Wu Fu bowed slightly, this step was actually a very huge concession. You must know that during the Hongwu period, associations were not allowed. This is not like the right that was written into the constitution in later generations, but in the Hongwu period, association was regarded as a sign of rebellion. Not to mention the use of weapons, the creation of corporate armies.
