"Feudalization is the source of trouble, don't you know?" Lao Zhu frowned.

"The Eastern and Western Zhou Dynasties were divided into feudal states for hundreds of years, and then there was chaos for hundreds of years. It was only when Qin destroyed the six kingdoms that the feudal troubles were completely resolved."

"In the Han Dynasty, in order to eliminate the trouble of dividing the kingdoms, Emperor Jing caused chaos in the Seven Kingdoms. Emperor Jing reluctantly killed the famous official Chao Cuo, but he was unable to quell the chaos."

"According to what you said, it was also due to the enfeoffment and reduction of vassalages that caused the Four Troubles. The world will not be restored to peace until a different day. We are all considering not to enfeoff the kings anymore."

"Why, now you are talking about restarting the enfeoffment?"

Faced with Lao Zhu's doubts, Zhu Su explained: "It does not refer to the ordinary enfeoffment implemented by previous dynasties, but the enfeoffment during the Zhou Dynasty."

"The enfeoffment of the Zhou Dynasty?" Lao Zhu was confused. "Isn't that still the enfeoffment? What's the difference?"

"It's different." Zhu Su explained. "The enfeoffment at the beginning of the Zhou Dynasty laid a foundation for future generations."

"The emperor would allocate the land he conquered to the clan, so that the clan would establish remote territories here and thrive. The feudal states spread the rituals and music of the Zhou Dynasty and resisted the surrounding barbarians, thus establishing the foundation of China."

"At that time, there was more than just my Chinese clan in this land of China. There were Western Barbarians in the west and Northern Barbarians in the north. It was precisely because the clans and feudal clans had completely eliminated these disasters that we, the Huaxia clan, could live in this vast land.

Live and work in peace and contentment..."

"We also know this!" Lao Zhu waved his hand impatiently. "We were thinking about entrusting you sons everywhere, wasn't it because we wanted your descendants to share the pressure for the boss's group?

Just like the clan of the Zhou Dynasty who sealed the country as a vassal vassal."

"But you also said that this feudal kingdom was broken by the fourth generation, and all the clan kings were raised like pigs. Besides eating up the Ming Dynasty, what other use is there?"

"It's easy to prevent the descendants of the feudal lord from eating the Ming Dynasty..." Zhu Su blinked.

"Can't we just let them eat food from outside?"

"Eating outside?" Lao Zhu was stunned.

"Do you still have the map of Kun Yu and Ten Thousand Kingdoms that I gave you?" Zhu Su said.

Lao Zhu came to his senses and immediately shouted: "Two tigers! Two tigers!"

Erhu pushed the door open and went out after being ordered. After a while, he brought the picture of Kunyu and Ten Thousand Kingdoms that was originally hanging in the east pavilion. Different from the sketch Zhu Su had drawn casually, this picture of Kunyu and Ten Thousand Kingdoms was different from the sketch that Zhu Su had drawn casually.

The map was obviously redrawn by famous artists. Not only the Ming Dynasty was painted in conspicuous red, but other places were also painted in various colors, which is quite close to the world maps of later generations.

The various countries on it are marked with all kinds of calligraphy based on the foreign historical materials that the Ming Dynasty can find. It seems that in order to verify the authenticity of this picture, Lao Zhu forced the Hanlin Academy to work hard.<

"Here." Zhu Su pointed to the boundary of the Japanese country. "This country has had Japanese troubles since ancient times. We, the southeastern coast of China, have suffered for a long time. Why haven't you thought of replacing it and establishing a vassal and a country?"

Lao Zhu suddenly realized. What Lao Wu meant was to continue to expand the territory, just like the Zhou Dynasty, which divided the kings into the barbarian territory of Kaixia!

In this way, the burden of the princes and heirs naturally fell on the vassal areas in the outer borders and had nothing to do with the mainland of the Ming Dynasty. Moreover, our culture of the Ming Dynasty was the absolute leader among the surrounding countries.

Everyone admires me, King Hua of the Ming Dynasty.

….

After years of subtle influence, sooner or later these places will completely become the territory of the people of the Ming Dynasty. They will no longer remember that this was a barbarian country before, but will have a sense of identification with the Ming Dynasty, the suzerain country of the Central Plains. Really

I truly believe that I am a descendant of China.

Just like those vassal states entrusted by the Zhou Dynasty in the past!

"This has three benefits: First, this place is rich in gold and silver, and our Ming Dynasty will never have a silver shortage."

"Two, the ancestral land of the Japanese barbarians was taken away, and there will be no more Japanese troubles in the southeast."

"Third, that country has been heavily engaged in farming for a long time. You can become a serf and enrich the other foreign lands of our Ming Dynasty. As far as I know, the dignitaries in that country have never regarded civilians as human beings. Moreover, this country is small and prone to disasters, and the people are fearful and uncaring.

Germany. Even if they are slaves to the Han people, they will be happier than having one-third of an acre in that island country.

”

"It is a God-given labor base."

Lao Zhu frowned and looked at the Japanese country that Zhu Su was pointing at. He did not ask out his doubts, but raised his chin: "You continue to talk."

"Then I will continue." As he said that, Zhu Su moved his finger to the south of the Ming Dynasty.

"This place is Annan, it can also be a farming land, and the grain production is no less than that of our Jiangnan." Zhu Su said. "And, dad, you also know. After the Little Glacier begins, it will become colder and colder from north to south, and Annan's

It is located further south of the Ming Dynasty, so even the power of the Little Glacier can hardly affect it."

"If we establish a vassal state here, it will relieve our worries about food shortages in the Ming Dynasty."

"Second, we can set up a port here and develop shipping. We can use this as a way to dump our Ming Dynasty's silk, porcelain and other items in the West to make huge profits."

Lao Zhu's eyes flashed. This was the second time Lao Wu said that there were huge profits in shipping. He did not ask further questions, but continued to raise his chin. "Is there anything else?"

"And this place..." This time, Zhu Su moved his finger to the northeast of Ming Dynasty.

"This place is Goryeo, where King Mu has been in power for a long time, and it is located on the northern border. If a close vassal state is established here, if there is a change in Mobei..." Zhu Su drew a line connecting the southeastern coast with Goryeo.

Area.

"Then, in an instant, we can send troops from here and penetrate the enemy's rear! We can even transport troops by sea and flank the enemy's army invading the Great Wall. With him, he is like a guard dog guarding our gateway to the Central Plains, and we can protect our country."

I am safe in the Central Plains."

"Originally, this matter should be completed in this country, but this country has always been at both ends. The nobles are too lazy to enjoy themselves and their fighting power is poor. In this case, why not just enfeoff them and make them my own vassal kings in the Ming Dynasty?"

"And this entire desert..." Zhu Su moved his finger again, and this time, it enclosed the entire northern Xinjiang grassland. Seeing that Zhu Su was getting more and more ridiculous as he spoke, Lao Zhu finally couldn't help but interrupt: "Old

Five, just give us a moment..."

"We are not those rotten scholars who think that except for my land in the Central Plains, all other places are barren and barbaric places."

"After what you said last time, we really believe that these places have mountains of gold and silver, as well as fertile farmland."

"But have you ever thought about it? It's easy to trace these places with your fingers, but each one of them is a country that has been rooted in it for decades or hundreds of years. The people have long recognized it."

"Although they are not big countries, they are not comparable to those barbarian tribes fighting each other during the Zhou Dynasty!"

"In the past, Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty conquered Korea three times and ruined the entire Sui Dynasty. This was because he was trapped in the quagmire of war and could not escape."

"My Ming Dynasty is still in the Northern Yuan Dynasty. It is like a tiger watching beside the bed."

"How can I use weapons like Emperor Yang of Sui Dynasty without being sure again?"
