over their heads."

Han Du said a lot to Zhu Xi, in short, it was just one sentence. These natives had no grudges against the Ming Dynasty in the past and have no grudges in recent times. There is no need to be cruel and it is better to stay and farm.

Zhu Fang was well aware of Han Du's worries, but he said nonchalantly: "When did I say that I was going to kill people? What do you think I am? However, since you said that these natives should serve the people of the Ming Dynasty,

Farming, then are they so obedient that they will do whatever we ask them to do?"

"How is that possible?" Han Du suddenly shook his head, "Of course they won't be obedient, but with the governor's offices suppressing them, those who dare to resist will be punished, and the remaining natives will be obedient."

"Isn't this it?" Zhu Xi spread his hands and said to Han Du with a smile: "If I don't attack the obedient natives, why can't I still stab these people?"

"It doesn't matter." Han Du had to nod. Anyway, it made no difference to Han Du whether those natives who dared to resist were suppressed by the Governor's Mansion or by the King of Qin.

It doesn't matter who does it, as long as the effect is achieved.

Seeing that Han Du had been persuaded, Zhu Xi turned back to Zhu Biao and said: "Brother Emperor, I am willing to move overseas to guard the border for the Ming Dynasty. I also ask Brother Emperor to help me say a few good words in front of the Emperor."

When Zhu Biao heard Zhu Xi's request, his claws suddenly became numb, and he said with a wry smile: "Second brother, it's not that Gu is unwilling to help you. If your father knows about your idea, I'm afraid he will be even more angry."

"Brother Huang, how will you know if you don't try it?" Zhu Chong smiled nonchalantly, held Zhu Biao's hand, and begged him for help.

Zhu Biao was helpless towards his younger brother, so he nodded and agreed, saying that he would find an opportunity to mention it to his father again. Although he didn't know why Han Du mentioned moving overseas, looking at it from now on, this really has a great impact on the Ming Dynasty.

Big benefit.

General Zhu Fang and Zhu Biao finally nodded, fearing that the night would be long and they would have many dreams. After Zhu Biao turned around, he would change his mind and not help him. How could he help him?

Will Zhu Biao be delayed?

He quickly begged: "Brother, the emperor is in Fengtian Palace right now. You can go and tell me a thing or two now, okay?"

"Now? This" Zhu Biao certainly didn't want to go now, but he couldn't resist Zhu Chong, so he had to stand up and nod his head to agree to give it a try.

When Han Du saw Zhu Biao getting up, he immediately felt that something was wrong. He stood up and wanted to say goodbye to Zhu Biao: "Your Highness, I suddenly remembered that Anqing asked me to accompany her to offer incense today. If I don't go back, I'm afraid it won't be enough time."

Already."

"You sit down for me." Zhu Biao suddenly turned around and glared at Han Du, and said angrily: "Even if your Zhenhai Marquis Mansion was burned today, you will sit down for me. If An Qing is dissatisfied, let her come.

He Gu said that it happened that Gu hadn't seen her for a long time."

Han Du had no choice but to return to the stool with a smile, but Han Du, who was sitting on it, seemed to become more and more restless as Zhu Biao left.

After a while, Zhu Biao did not come back.

However, the old eunuch beside Lao Zhu personally came to convey the order and summoned Zhu Fang and Han Du to see him.

Zhu Xi didn't care. He stood up and followed the old eunuch.

Han Du sighed and followed reluctantly.

"My son, please pay homage to your father."

"Your Majesty, Han Du, pays homage to the Emperor."

After Han Du got up, he saw Lao Zhu sitting on the dragon chair, and Zhu Biao standing on the left side below Danbi. There was only the old eunuch serving Lao Zhu in the entire hall, and apart from that, there was no one extra

people.

Lao Zhu ignored Zhu Xi, raised his eyes and looked directly at Han Du, and said calmly: "It was your idea again? You can think of the reason for moving it overseas."

Han Du coughed and smiled flatteringly, and said, "Does your Majesty still remember what I said about the land issue?"

"I remember." Lao Zhu naturally still remembers the land issue that Han Du raised and dare not look forward to it. After all, land is related to the stability of the world. As an emperor, it is impossible for Lao Zhu not to pay attention to it.

"But what does this have to do with moving overseas? King Qin doesn't have much land in Xi'an." Lao Zhu didn't understand.

It is indeed not much. Zhu Xi was only given more than 10,000 acres of land by Lao Zhu in Xi'an. However, when he was carrying out large-scale construction projects, although the land he occupied was not much, it was still over a thousand acres.

How many years has Zhu Fang been in Xi'an? He has already occupied thousands of acres of common people's land. If he is allowed to stay in the fiefdom, will he occupy all the land in the fiefdom sooner or later?

But Han Du couldn't say this directly.

Why did Lao Zhu designate his descendants as kings? This is related to his childhood experience. Lao Zhu was afraid of poverty when he was a child, and could not even afford food. The sight of his parents and brothers starving to death made Lao Zhu feel piercing fear. In order to

So that his descendants don't have to worry about how to eat it, that's why Lao Zhu made a big deal of making kings.

Even Xu Da did not dare to mention this to Lao Zhu directly. He only dared to mention it to Lao Zhu through drunken talk after drinking. But even so, it would inevitably arouse Lao Zhu's suspicion.

Smiling, Han Du bowed his hands and said: "Your Majesty, in addition to prohibiting the gentry from occupying land wantonly, there is another way, and that is to expand the territory. As long as the Ming Dynasty expands the territory quickly enough, it will not be afraid of not being able to keep up with the people.

need.

Ask where the canal is so clear, only the source of running water can come. Instead of building a dojo in a snail shell, it is better to use a knife to open up. There are many unowned lands overseas, and the Ming Dynasty can satisfy a large amount of land demand by occupying any place.

The king of Qin moved overseas to open up territory for the Ming Dynasty, and I think this is a good idea."

The land problem in the Ming Dynasty has not yet broken out. That is because the population of the Ming Dynasty is not large yet, and the current land can still meet the needs of the people. But people who do not worry about the future must have short-term worries. In a country where more children, more grandchildren, more blessings

Under the secular world, the Ming Dynasty's population will soon experience explosive growth. If by that time, it may be too late to open up land.

Moreover, if Lao Zhu, the founder of the country, did not expand outside, then the emperors of later generations would be even more constrained. For the sake of their own stability, those civil servants will definitely regard the expansion of territory as a scourge. No matter who proposes it at that time

, will lead to strong opposition from civil servants.

In the end, the success fell short.

Lao Zhu knew that Han Du could bring the dead to life with just one mouthful, so he did not immediately follow his advice, but turned to look at Zhu Ping.

Zhu Ping had long been touched by what Han Du said. As the second prince, he had no shortage of prowess, strategy, and rigor. The only thing he lacked was that he was not qualified to inherit the throne, and he had long since given up on inheriting the throne.

In the past, he could only seek pleasure to numb himself, but this does not mean that Zhu Ping could only seek pleasure.

If given the opportunity, he would also like to make contributions to the Ming Dynasty.
