"I think that the smartest person in the world is the Eastern General Jing Haibo. Now the easternmost telegram has been spread to Wangxiazhou."

Xu Guangqi bowed and said, "You can send it back in four months at most. Why don't your Majesty write a letter to ask?"

If you have no money, go to Chen Mu to ask what is the method?

Emperor Wanli didn't think about it, squinted his eyes, pouted, and shook his head: "No, I am already a mature emperor, I can't ask Jinghai if I encounter any more things... Hey, is he still Jinghai Bo?"

Xu Guangqi nodded and said, "Yes, Your Majesty, the power of the four oceans is all holding Shangfang sword as if Your Majesty is here in person. Therefore, he will not reward meritoriously. When he returns to Beijing to report his duties, he will reward him together. I remember that I have seen such a statement in the official newspaper of the Ministry of Personnel in which year."

"I've said it?"

The emperor scratched his head and sat on the chair of the Grand Master on the front lake: "If you said it, just say it, come on, take the royal family list in the study in the back hall, go out again, and recruit Governor Xu in Jinyi. He is in the capital? Well, that's fine. Tell him that I have no money and ask him to bring some guard officials who are familiar with the family property of the royal family."

The military eunuchs stationed in Tsinghua Park were on call and soon brought the list. Someone brought the horses to the boat with the emperor's message and sailed to the other side to ride the horses.

The roster was sent, but Wanli was not in a hurry to see it. He held the tea with his hand, but instead chatted with Xu Guangqi, "Hey, Xu Qing, you said that Chen Shuai of the Nanyang Military Palace is easy to talk about. Since he took over the rank of Gaoge, Jingyun has not made any mistakes and has not done anything major. When he reports his position, he is a count and gives some rewards. He will increase the governor in the Five Army Governor's Office, and serves as the right assistant minister of the Ministry of War, and serves in the Beiyang; it is similar to the West. Duke Yin has done a lot of good things, but he must have spent a lot of money on his own due to the wealth of the West."

"The East is amazing. You said that our world's largest Ming Dynasty has built a piece of land larger than the Ming Dynasty overseas? It will have to change its national name after the Ming Dynasty? It is called Juming."

Wanli's operation was so scared that Xu Guangqi was trembling in his heart. It was so exciting to stand by the emperor... First, let the eunuchs get the royal family list over, and then talk to him about changing the country name.

I just made a small miner and iron smelting officer. Why are you talking to me about this?

No matter how the court awarded Marshal Chen, no matter what national name he called him in the Ming Dynasty, this is not something he could answer, it is beyond the rules!

"Your Majesty, how can you know? Tell me some mining techniques and the tricks of creating Fire De Star Lord are OK. These things..." Xu Guangqi smiled with a bit of timidity and compliment: "I really don't know."

"It's not waiting for Xu Jue. I'm idle and idle. Just chat, don't be so scared." Wanli waved his hand and said, "What I like most is the national style and talented people in the ancient Han and Tang dynasties when national borders expanded, the national style was fierce and the talented people were arrogant."

"The state does not value family background, does not focus on trivial matters, but only values ​​talents."

"I, the Grand Master of the Ming Dynasty, and the Grand Master of Cheng, were the same. The more talented I had, the higher the official title I could be."

Wanli sighed, "It's different now. After a long period of peace, I lost my ancestors' spirit, and the court was in a state of dusk, and everything was following the rules."

The emperor became a little cynical.

In fact, he said that Xu Guangqi also knew about this, and Xu Guangqi thought it was normal.

In the period of serious pioneering, flattering villains and those who cannot do things have no chance to steal the high position, because at that time, they will never be able to get rid of their mistakes. Those who can make progress in high positions are not only talented, but also luck.

In which thirty years in history did not die hundreds of thousands of people die because of this?

For example, in the Hundred Years of War in the Han and the Huns, the Han family and the Huns gathered national strength, and all national policies revolved around the war. From the second year of Yuanshuo to the third year of Zhenghe, the Han army in Henan killed more than 30,000 Xiongnus; in the Battle of Hexi, the Han army killed nearly 90,000 Xiongnus; in the Battle of Mobei, the Han army killed nearly 90,000 Xiongnus; in the Battle of the Western Regions, the Han army annihilated more than 30,000 enemies. During these 37 years alone, at least 240,000 Xiongnus, with a total population of more than 2 million at its peak, were annihilated at least 240,000 in the war.

That war really affected the livelihood of every citizen of the Han Empire. Only in the end can the Han army achieve a comprehensive victory can we hone the fierce national style in the war and cultivate the mad talents.

The situation in the Ming Dynasty was different.

Many overseas victories were almost all the victories of the people. Since the Battle of Linlai, the empire did not formulate any war as a national policy, nor did it have the strength of the whole country to deal with anyone.

The enemies in Nanyang were very weak and the empire had a profound influence. The only imperial power there was the Nanyang Guard, a newly established garrison of 5,600 people. Standing beside them was not the Imperial War Department, but the civilian Fujian and Guangxi merchants, and the abandoned pirates along the coast.

The war in East Asia is not a national war. On the one hand, the New World Army head of Spain, representing the colonial overlord, rebelled, and on the other hand, the warlords representing the strongest force of the Ming Empire landed. Both giants just stretched out their hands to fight, and neither planned to fight overseas thousands of miles away from their core territory.

There isn't even Spain.

The Nine Borders and the Netherlands are the real persistent national policies of the two countries.

The West, the West is even more interesting. The West has never aimed at opening up territory. All the warships sailing on the Indian Ocean and Arabian Sea are just to protect the trade routes, and monks are fighting.

War and navigation are the same danger in this era, and ordinary people will instinctively resist these two things.

Everyone knows that maritime trade can make people rich, but only a few of them put into action.

This has nothing to do with whether the Central Plains dynasty is a so-called maritime country.

Except for some special personality and preferences, for most ordinary people, whether to participate in war and maritime trade is not that participating in dangerous maritime trade and war can make me rich, or that participating in it will make my life better.

Instead of participating - I will never have a chance to stand out, I will be poorer.

In all countries, during the three hundred years of maritime voyage, no great nobles, first-rank officials went to sea to trade or seize colonies themselves. The sea was filled with people who were eager to stand out and rely on a fight to change their fate.

The great nobles and senior officials often participated in this matter. In another way, they funded navigators in Europe and paid for ships; in the coastal dynasty of the Central Plains, the great merchants and officials lent the ships to their nephews and relatives, and let them go to sea.

The so-called maritime country is just not allowed to go to sea.

Not every country in this world has the foundation laid by the Central Plains dynasty from the Qin Dynasty. At any time, just close the door and solve its own problems, you will be invincible in the world.

"Don't worry, I don't know what to do. Look at you being so scared."
