Feng Bao was instructed by Empress Dowager Li and did not allow the princes and vassals to be granted external titles.

This is too difficult to deal with.

What's even more amazing is that as soon as Chen Mu entered the palace, he was taken to the square in front of the palace of Emperor Wanli. The little emperor was holding a bird gun and shooting a straw man. Amid the clear sound of the bird gun, the little emperor frowned and asked unhappily: "Brother Jinghai, why did you send my uncle and brother to a bitter and cold place overseas?"

"There are bitter and cold overseas, Your Majesty, it is not bitter and cold overseas. The equator is very warm, and the four seasons are summer. That is the good place for the princes."

Chen Mugang responded casually, and Xiao Wanli threw the dragon-patterned bird gun on the weapon stand, waved his hand in his big sleeve, and turned away the eunuchs accompanying him around. Then he frowned and said to Chen Mu: "It's you! I know that overseas is your core interest!"

The little emperor is very good at learning and applying it.

It can be seen that the vassal king's transfer of title was annoying him.

"My core interests are not overseas, so how can I give up the core interests?" Chen Mugong bowed and then asked: "Your Majesty is unhappy about the transfer of the title of the vassal king?"

"Hmph, you still dare to ask, you want to enfeoff all my uncles and brothers overseas, and find an excuse to be poor in academic research. If I were a vassal king, I would not be able to do academic research!" The little emperor looked like he wanted to vent his anger but didn't know where to scatter. He put his hands on his hands and then put his stomach in the sleeves of the sun and moon robe. His tone softened himself: "Even if the vassal king does something, he will not be sent to death overseas. Look at the Magui of your subordinates, more than 1,000 people die, and more than 200 people are left."

"My Ming Dynasty has 20,000 royal families, and according to the cabinet, they can only be awarded a few dozen people. The 20,000 royal families are divided overseas, and there will be 4,000 deaths in a year. How do you ask me to face my ancestors? Will I go to the future to pay homage to the ancestral tombs?"

This logic is...unprecedented!

Chen Mu suggested to Zhang Juzheng two years ago that the vassal kings were indeed planning to do so. Those who died would die and those who were alive would be cleaned up. Anyway, it would be a waste to put the country in the country. Tens of thousands of royal families could only produce a few talents, but this is not the case now!

Zhang Juzheng obviously considered more comprehensive than Chen Mu, and was not so hasty. He had been preparing for more than two years and had the prime minister keep this matter in mind. Now he took it out because the time is ripe.

Chen Mu bowed and smiled, saying, "Your Majesty hasn't discussed this matter with Mr. Zhang?"

The little emperor glanced at his face and said, "No, I haven't reported it yet, I'm all about it."

As he said that, he glanced at Chen Mu and said, "But the news has spread long ago, and the royal family was frightened."

Chen Mu sorted out his language and said, "The clan's exclusion is not what Your Majesty thought. The 20,000 clans should be sealed slowly in a gradual manner. There is no possibility that things will be sealed immediately. It is even more impossible to seal the immature routes in a short period of time. The first choice is the mature Nanyang. In the past year, I have traveled to Guangdong and the South China countries several times. Even the reefs in that area were clearly discovered by the Sanbaogong."

"Your Majesty, you must know that the royal family is not doing well in the country. Some of them are extremely poor and poor, and they occupy the land of the people. The officials and the people dare not speak out in their eyes."

"Even so, they cannot be enfeoffed overseas!" The little emperor stretched out his hand and said, "Is it that a few unworthy descendants have emerged, but are there also wise kings?"

"Then Your Majesty thinks that the royal family has a high chance of becoming a wise king, or a high chance of being unworthy?" After saying something a little overbearing, Chen Mu hurriedly followed up: "If the royal family is as wise as Your Majesty, how can a minister be willing to enfeoff people overseas? Stay in the middle of the country and concentrate on writing it intently!"

Seeing that Xiao Wanli was in deep thought, Chen Mu paused before struck while the iron was hot and explained: "It sounds like a punishment for the overseas ban. Once it was transferred, the fields and rice were gone. If this was a punishment, it would not affect everyone. This was to encourage the royal family to be studious, not violate the law and ancestral system, and guide the royal family to do academic research."

"The vassal kings have a carefree life, but as descendants of the royal family, everyone should shoulder the important task of national progress. They can study science without violating the ancestral system. No one is more suitable than them. The cabinet master's consideration is already very thorough."

"If this plan is done, there will be a clan who is good at studying in the country, and fewer clans can ensure that everyone is more favorable, not to mention the rewards brought by scientific and technological progress, their lives will be richer and more respected. Otherwise, as we are now, if we enjoy wealth but cannot stretch our ambitions, will the life of the clan be depressed?"

"Even if it is not suitable for academic research, if you have some military and political skills overseas, you can protect your country and country. If you don't control military and political affairs, you can also earn wealth and honor from Wangzhuang overseas. There are not only bitter and cold places, but also rich places. Last year, the imperial court earned 40% of silver every year and 20% of rice and grain from abroad. How can it be said that it is bitter and cold places overseas?"

The little emperor frowned again. If this continues, he may age quickly and said, "But the silver, rice and grain are brought back by merchants, and the royal family cannot do business. How can they earn wealth?"

"Your Majesty doesn't really think that the Ming Dynasty is doing business overseas, right?" Chen Mu smiled. The little emperor was quite naive and said, "The cost of merchants doing business is silver. The cost of the Ming Dynasty's overseas is the Siyang Fleet, which is the military force of the Ming Dynasty. It is powerful and can allow our merchants to monopolize sea trade. Other countries' sea ships do not have to leave the port. Our commercial goods can earn ten or a hundred times the profit by going from this port to another port."

"In the port of Luzon, the best goods were purchased by the Ming Dynasty; in Malacca, the most expensive goods were sold by the Ming Dynasty; technology is the primary productive force, and people only focus on the outer feudal kings, but do not pay attention to the highest things in the world. Technology progress was left to the royal family to fill this gap."

The little emperor tilted his mouth and squeezed his eyes, trying his best to explore the new vocabulary he heard from Chen Mu: "Performance?"

"In India, they plant cotton in vast land, and the price is low, and then they weave it into cloth. It takes three months for them to weave a piece of cloth by themselves; in Guangdong, we buy a huge amount of cotton every year, our weaving skills are better, our loom production is faster, and we have 100,000 people in this industry. If you spend 100,000 taels of cotton, we produce 1.6 million pieces of cloth a year, and they only have 400,000 pieces of cloth. Our cloth has better quality and more output. If you dump it back, you can make 1 million taels and defeat their market."

"Over time, their weavers cannot live by and can only go back to grow cotton. They are getting poorer and richer. Now there is no one in India weaving cloth because they weave it more expensive than what they buy."

"As long as technology progresses, overseas royal family members can make money, because our technology is the best and no one can surpass us."

"My initial idea was indeed wrong. Therefore, although the vassal kings were first proposed by me, I did not say anything more in the court's discussion, because Mr. Zhang was more thorough than Chen. He was right. The royal family was also an indispensable part of the Ming Dynasty and could also make remarkable achievements for the world."

Seeing that he was almost the same, Chen Mu eliminated the misunderstanding in Wanli's eyes, so he took out the boat map and said, "Your Majesty, the four giant ships traveling around the world have been built, and are now open to Dagukou. This is the boat map..."

"The teacher has already mentioned these four ships. I don't look at the ship's pictures, so I'll go and invite my mother."

The emperor pushed the boat with a small hand and went to greet the eunuch.
