The ministers who oppose the construction of roads are nothing more than worried about the loss of labor and money, which will lead to chaos in the world.

Daqin Sheji was first established, and a hundred wastes were waiting to be lifted, and the national strength really could not withstand such a large project loss.

However, the admiral of the navy, Gu Rong, took care of everything, promising to build roads without spending a penny on the treasury and without levying a single piece of labor, and the reasons for the ministers' opposition were not valid.

A few days ago, the navy opened up a province of Luzon at once, and also got back nearly two million taels of income, which proves that the Royal Navy does have this ability.

As for some people who say that enslaving foreigners is not the way of a saint, it is not the way of a saint, and it is a loss of national demeanor.

Qin Mu smiled and said nothing, and he didn't argue, so he didn't hear it.

Among the ministers he appointed, they were basically more pragmatic, otherwise it would be impossible to stay in a high position for a long time.

Sima An and other auxiliary ministers also have enough understanding of the strategic significance of this road, and they know what a huge role this road will play once it is completed.

Now that there are people who are willing to pay for them, why not?

It is worth mentioning that since the last Xiyuan feast, the think tank system that Qin Mu has been secretly promoting has blossomed into two small flowers.

As soon as the news of the construction of the road from Changsha to Kunming came out in the court, Xie Jinglun immediately announced the establishment of a Jinghua Society.

Just under the Yuhua platform, a chic courtyard, the brand new sign of "Jinghua Society" was hung up, the sound of firecrackers, Wang Fuzhi and a group of other people came to celebrate,

Xie Jinglun, together with 21 like-minded scholars, announced in public that he would go to Changsha, Guiyang, and Kunming to conduct in-depth research on the impact of the construction of official roads on the political, military, economic, and people's livelihood of Daqin.

It even evaluates the cost, route, and feasibility of road construction, and then conducts a comprehensive study of the strategic deployment of the Indochina Peninsula in Daqin, and clears up the gains and losses, as well as the challenges that may be encountered.

And a group of people led by Fang Yizhi are even more numerous, reaching thirty-six. Not to be outdone, they also announced the establishment of a Jiangnan Society the next day;

Their first research topic. It is the study of Luzon's governance scheme, immigration policy, economic utilization, military position, and even the strategy of the South Seas as a whole.

Most of these people organized by Fang Yizhi were born in wealthy families of the gentry in Jiangnan;

In the past, they were the ones who attacked the government the most enthusiastically on the Qinhuai River, they had the money, time, and willingness to participate in politics, and after the reflection after the death of the Ming Dynasty, they were much more pragmatic in their thinking.

Taking advantage of the spring breeze of Qin Mu's secret promotion of the construction of think tanks, they established this society and gave up the previous style of empty talk on the Qinhuai River. I really hope that my research can win the favor of the emperor at the future feasts, so as to make the world famous.

Their family was also very supportive, and even organized five merchant ships and a large number of goods for them to take with them to Luzon and even the islands of the South Seas.

This is because the study of Luzon's strategic position inevitably involves the current situation of the islands in the South Seas, and only by combining the current situation of the entire South Seas can it be combined. The results of the research are more realistic. The proceeds of the five merchant ships will be used to support their research.

Hearing this news, Qin Mu was very relieved, and also ordered the Royal Navy. Secretly give them some protection.

At the same time, Qin Mu found Wang Fuzhi, hoping that Wang Fuzhi would encourage Zhu Shunshui to set up a society specializing in the study of Japan.

Due to the war at the end of the Ming Dynasty, Japan closed off the country. Daqin's understanding of the current situation in Japan mostly comes from the accounts of these people in Zheng Zhilong.

But these people are pirates after all, and they know something. Most of them are in terms of economy and people's livelihood, and their understanding of Japan's internal politics and culture is not so comprehensive.

What's more, these people have not been in Japan for many years, and Japan is constantly changing.

It is not known what kind of impact the establishment of Daqin will have on Japan's domestic policy.

Qin Mu sincerely hopes to have a think tank to conduct all-round research on Japan and provide some reference for himself to formulate policies against Japan.

The other is the study of Mongolia and the Western Regions, and Qin Mu also hopes that someone will do it.

As for how well it is done, let's not talk about it, at least let these intellectuals, or even the elite of this era, learn to be pragmatic.

It's better than letting them do nothing all day long, boasting to the Qinglou girl on the Huai River, and living a life of drunken dreams and death.

When the Ministry of Industry was busy sending people to the southwest to survey the road from Changsha to Kunming, select the route, evaluate the difficulties of the project, and formulate the project budget.

In the newly established Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Huang Zhenlin, the left waiter, was also busy negotiating with the British.

Judging from the preliminary results of the negotiations, the British had a positive attitude towards cooperation with Daqin, but it was difficult for the two sides to reach a consensus on dividing up maritime interests.

The reason why it was difficult to reach a consensus was that the British still had doubts about the capabilities of the Great Qin Navy, so they still wanted to occupy more points in many interests.

This reminded Qin Mu once again of the large-scale "hunting" that he had been conceiving early in the morning and that the Ministry of War had also prepared, that is, the ancient version of the military parade.

If you want to become the leader of all countries and gain the recognition of others, it is necessary for Daqin to fully demonstrate his strength.

At the same time, this move can also strengthen the army's sense of honor and cohesion, enhance the army's image in the eyes of the people, make the people proud to join the army, and lay a solid foundation for the implementation of the conscription system.

Qin Mu found the cabinet and the seven Shangshu, and after reaching a consensus on this matter, he immediately asked the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to send envoys to the surrounding countries, and at the same time asked the Ministry of War to officially put the big military parade on the agenda.

The country is creating, all kinds of waste are waiting to be revived, Qin Mu rotates every day, it can really be said that there are thousands of opportunities every day, and he dreams of sleeping at night.

With the efficient operation of the cabinet and the six ministries, it is really hard for him to imagine what an emperor like Zhu Yuanzhang will be tired of, and how much time he will have to take a break from tedious government affairs and consider the country's long-term strategy?

In the entire palace, the most carefree is Yun Qiao'er, she has grown into a delicate girl, but with Qin Mu's habit, she still often goes outside the palace to play.

On this day, Qin Mu returned to the harem from the Huagai Palace, and saw that she was returning from outside the palace with a few palace maids and little eunuchs, and several little eunuchs were still holding a lot of small bits and pieces in their hands, which were probably just bought from the market.

"陛xià, 陛xià, etc." As soon as she saw Qin Mu, she immediately lifted her skirt and trotted over.

She wore a light yellow embroidered willow pattern filament shirt, a lake blue pinched golden catkins floral long skirt, and a red gold lilac hairpin on the concentric bun.

"See Majesty." Yun Qiaoer has a good appearance, curling Tingting, and the beauty of the girl is fully revealed.

"Girl, what did you go out and buy again?" Qin Mu asked casually.

Yun Qiao'er smiled playfully, put her arms around him and said, "I won't sue you!" ”

There was a faint fragrance of flowers on her body, it smelled very good, and under the thin spring shirt, two balls of jade rose slightly, with a beautiful shape, and they were soft and soft on Qin Mu's hands.

"I'm not uncommon in knowing."

"This" Yun Qiao'er blinked her big bright eyes, her expression was a little tangled, as if she was thinking about whether to tell Qin Mu what she had bought, and her coquettish appearance was very cute.

Qin Mu scratched the tip of her nose with his hand and smiled: "Okay, don't get entangled, allow you to keep a little secret, go, and accompany me to dinner." ”

"Okay, Your Majesty, the concubine wants to eat fried fresh bamboo shoots."

This is not a high requirement, Qin Mu laughed and said, "Girl, why don't I invite you to eat bamboo shoots and fried meat." ”

Yun Qiao'er subconsciously covered her fragrant buttocks, in the past, Qin Mu would spank her ass at every turn, which probably had a certain massage effect, but now her fragrant buttocks are quite upright, and with her slender legs, they are full of moving beauty.

Qin Mu laughed, Yun Qiao'er walked a few steps around his arm, and suddenly blushed and leaned into his ear and said, "Your Majesty, concubine tonight"

"Huh? What are you going to do tonight? ”

"Don't talk about it, huh!"

"Hey, how do you know if you don't tell me? What are you angry about? ”

"You know very well in your heart, so you like to pretend to be stupid."

"Hahaha"

"Your Majesty, everyone is fifteen, and the last time I went home, my father asked me with a straight face, alas, I'm ashamed, I won't tell you."

"You stinky girl, you know how to be shy." Qin Mu smiled happily, the girl was indeed a newcomer, but he always felt that it was a little early.

Yun Qiao'er blushed and said: "Your Majesty, it's hard for people to see you now, you are so busy during the day, and you are busy at night."

"Looking for a fight, when am I busy at night?"

"Hee-hee, your majesty is also busy handling the music at night."

"That's pretty much it."

"Your Majesty, have you forgotten? He is your personal confidential secretary, but now, alas! ”

"Okay, don't sigh, pretend, tonight" Qin Mu finally leaned into her ear and said.

Yun Qiao'er blurted out: "Stir-fry the meat with bamboo shoots, fry the bamboo shoots" Halfway through the words, she hurriedly closed her voice, looking around with a pair of apricot eyes, for fear that someone would hear it.
