He only heard him say to Zhang Mingwei: "The Liaodong Bo also said in the good news that the land war is insufficient, so even if the naval battle is won, if the Dongjiang soldiers want to go ashore, they will still have difficulties if Jianlu is prepared. Now they have to mobilize troops here, which is a good thing."

Speaking of this, he paused and changed his mind: "But, military pay is easy to talk about, and food and grass matters are OK, but it is difficult to deal with Dongjiang Town!"

When Emperor Chongzhen heard this, he nodded and said to Zhang Mingwei: "In the past, Dongjiang Town had paid some tribute to North Korea, but now North Korea has obeyed the orders of Jianlu, and the Pi Island where Dongjiang Town is located does not produce grain. This grain limits the strength of Dongjiang Town. The gentleman thinks, how to solve it is better?"

He did not ask if it could be solved, but instead asked directly how to solve it.

From this we can see that in his heart, he felt that Zhang Mingwei must have a solution, and the only difference was the quality of the solution!

When Zhang Mingwei heard this, he said without hesitation: "Isn't there a Chinese-Chinese Dharma? If there is not enough food in Shandong, let the merchants in Jiangnan transport the food."

Speaking of this, he remembered something, and then pondered for a moment and added: "Regularly speaking, there is absolutely no problem if the grain in a province in Shandong needs to be supplied to the soldiers of Dongjiang Town. Now that he asked this question, it should be that the land merger problem in Shandong is serious, right?"

"That's right!" When the Minister of Revenue heard this, he nodded quickly.

In fact, by the end of the Ming Dynasty, let alone Shandong, land annexation across the country was very serious.

Many times, the so-called law that the dynasty cycle does not exceed three hundred years is largely the land annexation of a dynasty is too serious, and problems will arise after not taking three hundred years, resulting in the demise of the dynasty.

After hearing this, Zhang Mingwei asked immediately: "Does it be clear that the land in Shandong is now concentrated in the hands of those people?"

When the Minister of Revenue heard this, he glanced at Emperor Chongzhen and immediately replied: "Mainly under the names of the three vassal kings? And... and..."

The Ming Dynasty had a total of six vassal kings in Shandong, three of which were finished? The remaining three were still there now. They were King Lu, King De and King Heng.

In the original history, among these three vassal kings, King Lu was the vassal king supported by Zhang Huangyan. He died of asthma during the anti-Qing Dynasty; the other two vassal kings surrendered to the Qing Dynasty and were eventually caught by the Qing Dynasty in 1646.

At this time, Emperor Chongzhen heard the Minister of Revenue stuttering on it, and then he squinted his lips and said to him immediately: "There is another one? It is Yan Shenggong! The land under his name in the Kong family is more than any vassal king in Shandong!"

After saying that, he concluded: "The land in Shandong has the most land under the names of the four of them, and others, and of course there are also, but it is not particularly outstanding. I have discussed it with the ministers before? I haven't confirmed it yet, what do you think?"

What else can you think!

When Zhang Mingwei heard this, he knew that the fields of the three vassal kings had already had precedents. In fact, it was not difficult to deal with. The most important thing was actually Yan Shenggong.

For scholars, this Yan Shenggong is sacred and respects the face of Confucianism. There is too much land under his name, so if he wants to touch him, these scholars are a little unable to do it.

Since it has not been confirmed, it is obvious that the problem lies with Emperor Chongzhen.

Zhang Mingwei felt that he would not be wrong. In the eyes of Emperor Chongzhen, all the vassal kings had a lot of land under their name due to hereditary reasons, which had affected local stability. Therefore, there was no way to seal all the vassal kings.

In this case, the land under the name of Yan Shenggong is more than that of the vassal kings. So should we deal with it?

The court officials who were born in scholars were respectful of the Kong family and did not dare to take the blame for the Kong family.

So, I haven't decided yet.

Thinking of this, Zhang Mingwei asked, "If I say it casually, I believe some people will not agree. However, the number of land in the Kong family is indeed a bit shocking and will affect the living and working of the people of Shandong. Therefore, after I think about it, the matter of the vassal kings can be done first, and there should be no doubt about this!"

Hearing this, Emperor Chongzhen stared at him, and suddenly understood something from his eyes. He did not ask, but just made a decision: "Okay, then let's follow what the teacher said first."

Du Yinxi and others were relieved after hearing this. Fortunately, there was no embarrassment.

Then, Emperor Chongzhen asked Zhang Mingwei again: "Why should I give this great victory in Liaodong? "

Is there something else?

Zhang Mingwei thought in his heart, but he still thought for a while and said, "It must be in accordance with the court's law, but I can make a suggestion."

When Emperor Chongzhen heard this, he thought to himself that this is not nonsense, just to hear your suggestions.

So he immediately said, "Sir, please speak!"

When Zhang Mingwei saw everyone in the hall looking at him, he looked at Emperor Chongzhen and said, "The great victory in Pidao is a naval battle. From then on, the sea control power was in the hands of our Ming Dynasty, and Jianlu could only stare at him on the shore. In other words, the Denglai Navy will actually be a transport fleet in the future, which is a bit of a waste!"

His statement was unexpected, and everyone in the hall listened to it with great surprise.

"From the future, the opponent of the Ming Navy will be the real enemy at sea!" Zhang Mingwei said, seeing them showing a hint of doubt, he gave them an example, "The navy of Western countries is the strongest navy today. As long as there is wealth, even if it is thousands of miles away, it will pass. If the local force is not strong enough, it will be the end of being enslaved by them."

Hearing this, Zuo Maodi couldn't help it, so he asked Zhang Mingwei: "Duke, does this have anything to do with us?"

"Yes, they are now obeying the jurisdiction of the local government in Haojingao, and they are considered to be obedient." Du Yinxi also agreed with Zuo Maodi, "If the court pays money, they will even come to help the court fight."

When Zhang Mingwei heard this, he immediately looked at them and asked, "What about the beginning? Did the Folang Ji people from Haojingao come to do business honestly? Didn't they be defeated by my Ming Dynasty? Also, the same is true for the Red Barbarians of the High-ranking Masters, but they were defeated by the Fujian Navy. These Western Barbarians were all from wolves!"

After hearing this, Zuo Maodi was still a little puzzled: "Aren't it already done now? We are strong enough, and they can only listen to us when they come here!"

When Zhang Mingwei heard this, he immediately looked at him and asked, "Will there be a conflict when the vassal kings enfeoffed overseas? I can tell you that many places overseas have been colonized and enslaved by them! If the vassal kings want to enfeoff the vassal kings, they must have to snatch them from their hands."

When he said this, his voice became colder and said, "And there are also Luzon, how many times have I been massacred by the Western barbarians? Not to mention the Wanli period, it was once in the 12th year of Chongzhen. Even if the King of Zhou had no intention of enfeoffing Luzon, should this blood debt be recovered?"

After hearing this, Zuo Maodi stopped talking, and the others stopped talking.

At this time, even Du Yinxi, who had the most strategic vision in the late Ming Dynasty, their vision was mostly limited to one acre of three parts of the land in their own home.

Compared to them, Emperor Chongzhen has been brainwashed by Zhang Mingwei, and his vision is now higher than that of them.

Therefore, when he heard this, Emperor Chongzhen immediately said to Zhang Mingwei: "What does that mean is how to reward the Denglai Navy?"

After hearing this, Zhang Mingwei immediately replied: "Set up the Navy Martial Arts Hall to reward the navy meritorious soldiers, which can allow them to enter the Navy Martial Arts Hall to further learn the ability to fight with the Western Navy Martial Arts; for Zheng Fusong, Fu and his parents, let them come to the capital to receive rewards. If Zheng Zhilong is left in the capital, he can be allowed to serve as a doctor in the Navy Martial Arts Hall. As for the Fujian Navy, he can be asked to take over. If Zheng Hongkui takes over, he can be asked to take over."

Speaking of this, Zhang Mingwei added: "It's probably because of this idea. After the country's stability, it will be when the Ming Dynasty was granted the title of vassal kings. At that time, the navy was the top priority and had to prepare for the future!"

When Emperor Chongzhen heard this, he immediately cheered: "It's so perfect for me, so that's it!"

After saying that, he suddenly asked Zhang Mingwei again: "Can the money from the southeast coast belong to the court?"

Du Yinxi and others heard it a little confused, but Zhang Mingwei knew that Emperor Chongzhen was referring to Zheng Zhilong for protection fees at sea.

It’s tens of millions of taels a year, no wonder Emperor Chongzhen was thinking about it!

After hearing this, Zhang Mingwei immediately smiled and said, "Don't worry, your Majesty, that money will belong to the court sooner or later!"

When Emperor Chongzhen heard this, he was happy. He looked up and saw that it was already dark. He smiled and said, "So, let's stop here today! The gentleman just returned to Beijing and must be tired."

When Zhang Mingwei heard this, he felt happy. It was his "predictable father-in-law" who understood his heart, so he nodded and said, "It's really a bit exhausted when the boat is exhausted!"

When Du Yinxi and others saw him, they naturally would not say anything else, so they said goodbye and left.

When Zhang Mingwei saw this, he was ready to follow him.

It's been more than a year, I'm back home!

But who knew that before he could turn around and leave, he saw Emperor Chongzhen coming, holding his hand and said, "Sir, work hard and make great contributions. I haven't seen you for more than a year, so I miss you very much. Why don't I sleep with you tonight and chat all night!"

"..." Zhang Mingwei was speechless when he heard this, and he wanted to curse! Am I normal, okay?

"Your Majesty, I'm tired and need a rest!"
