After Sun Kewang joined the Military Information Department, Sun Kewang's demand was quickly delivered to Gao Huan's desk.

The palace, in the imperial study room.

Gao Huan said to Li Yan, Du Yinxi and others after reading the information: "What do you think of me?"

Du Yinxi said: "Your Majesty has doubts in his heart."

"Haha~" Gao Huan smiled heartily and said a little embarrassedly: "Although I don't doubt people and don't doubt people, I do have a little concern about Sun Kewang."

Sun Kewang didn't know that he betrayed Zhang Xianzhong for Gao Huan, but Gao Huan actually never really trusted him.

When he saw Gao Huan let him return to the Western Kingdom, he thought Gao Huan took him as his confidant and believed him, so he had such a feeling of dying for his confidant.

Li Yan said: "It is natural for Your Majesty to worry. After all, Sun Kewang is Zhang Xianzhong's adopted son, and he restored the title of prince when he returned to the Western Kingdom. Moreover, I see that Sun Kewang's plan can be implemented, there is a possibility of success."

It logically makes sense that Sun Kewang had vigorously developed military forces, pulling the military strength of the Western countries to 70% of the military, allowing the Western countries to escape the crisis of national destruction, and then using the state-owned salt and iron mines to increase taxes and plunder the Southeast Asian countries to obtain materials to support and maintain the army.

Li Yan is a financial resource. After reading Zhang Xianzhong's plan, he felt that this plan could be done in a real way.

Du Yinxi pondered for a while, but said, "Your Majesty, I think it's okay to believe Sun Kewang."

Gao Huan said: "Tell me the reason."

Because Sun Kewang was ambitious in history and wanted to be an emperor, Gao Huan had a thorn in his heart, worried that he would be confused and overconfident, and would go against himself.

Gao Huan turned out to be trying to let Sun Ke hope to destroy the Western economy. Whether it is successful or not, Gao Huan will not suffer much loss.

Now Sun Kewang asks Gao Huan to deliver supplies to the Western countries. If it fails, Gao Huan will suffer a great loss, and helping the Western countries complete the reform will be like raising a tiger.

Du Yinxi said: "Zhang Xianzhong is also a hero. If Sun Kewang wants to convince him, he must have a plan that seems to be fine. Therefore, Sun Kewang proposed this plan, which I think is reasonable. In addition, even if Sun Kewang has problems, as long as His Majesty pays attention to the opportunity, he can still kill the reforms of the Western Kingdom and cause turmoil to the Western Kingdom."

Gao Huan is a smart person who can understand it at a glance. He stroked his beard and fell into deep thought.

As long as Sun Kewang's reforms allow Western countries to devote their energy to industry and make a large number of people leave agricultural production, Gao Huan's goal will actually be achieved.

Now we have sent materials to the Western countries, allowing the Western countries to invest heavily in the smelting and casting industries, resulting in agricultural production reductions.

In this way, Gao Huan is equivalent to having already grasped the life gate of the Western Kingdom.

Even if you find that Sun Kewang has a strange intention, Gao Huan can cut off the supply of supplies, leaving the Western army with hundreds of thousands of people engaged in industrial production to fall into a shortage of food and materials, interrupting the Western country's transformation and creating chaos.

Gao Huan can do it and launch an attack before the reform of the Western countries succeeds.

Now the initiative is in Gan Chao's hands. When will he take action to see Gao Huan's will, so there is actually no need to worry too much.

Thinking of this, Gao Huan nodded slightly, "I understand! Then several gentlemen will arrange for merchants to sell and smuggle goods to the Western countries. It is best to take this opportunity to support a group of Western countries merchants, so that they can see the power of doing big things, envy the business, and subtly influence them, so that they can be concerned about our dynasty."

Since the supply of materials to the Western countries, the transactions between the two sides will definitely be able to cultivate a group of rich people in Xigu.

Gao Huan felt that he could take this opportunity to corrupt and instigate some Western officials, support some Bashu merchants, and disintegrate Western countries from within.

Li Yan and Du Yinxi nodded, "I understand."

Gao Huan waved his hand, "Okay, please step back first."

Everyone stood up and took their leave one after another. At this time, Du Yinxi stayed in the study.

Seeing this, Gao Huan couldn't help but ask, "What else do you have to report?"

Du Yinxi said: "There is indeed one thing that I want to report to Your Majesty."

Gao Huan then reached out and signaled, "Sit down and say."

Du Yinxi sat back and said, "Your Majesty, in recent years, my influence in working hard has gradually increased. It turns out that the vassal states of the Ming Dynasty have resumed their tribute. Because the influence of our dynasty has continued to expand, these vassal states have close contact with our dynasty. Many people admired our dynasty's prosperity and strength after working hard, so they stayed in my dynasty, intending to learn from the system and culture of working hard."

Gao Huan nodded slightly, "I know about this matter. Didn't I let the three universities in the capital absorb some vassal students? Why, what's the problem?"

In the process of expanding outward, relying entirely on military affairs is very expensive and not conducive to rule.

Sometimes, if a country's soft power is used well, it can reduce the country's ruling costs a lot.

Therefore, in order to increase the influence of Ganchao, Gao Huan formulated a plan to cultivate public intellectuals in various countries and local elites who are interested in Ganchao.

Regarding the vassal states, Gao Huan took the initiative to ask for the vassal states that they sent less than fifty children of their own nobles to come to Dakan to study every year.

With the strength and prosperity of Ganchao now, Gao Huan believes that as long as people come, they will worship Ganchao from the bottom of their hearts, be superstitious about Ganchao's economy, military, and culture, and want to become a Ganchao person from the bottom of their hearts.

After returning to their country, these people will approach Ganchao in all aspects. They are proud to be able to speak Chinese. Even if they don’t, they will also mix a few Chinese words into this language to show their nobility and uniqueness. In terms of living habits, they will also follow Ganchao in all aspects. They will be close to Ganchao in all aspects.

These vassal states or foreign elites and nobles will soon influence the people of the vassal states, thus making them actively accept Han culture.

Gao Huan is very content with his strategy. After all, for this era, his idea is a bit beyond the scope.

Du Yinxi said: "Reporting to Your Majesty, there are indeed some problems. The main ones are students from Japan."

Gao Huan raised his eyebrows, "Wa, what's going on?"

Du Yinxi said in a deep voice: "These Japanese students have stealing our country's firearm casting technology and intending to pass it back to Japan."

Although Gao Huan asked the vassal state to send students to study abroad, he had control over what he learned and did not let everything be learned.

According to the division of later generations, the liberal arts can be learned, which is to spread culture to the vassals.

Military can also be learned, which is to serve the talents trained by the dynasty. After returning to the vassal state, you can gain military power.

Only in science subjects, Gao Huan does not recruit vassal students.

Gao Huan couldn't help but frown when he heard the words. Every nation really has its own characteristics. So many students from the vassal states came to the dynasty, most of whom admired the greatness of the Celestial Empire and wanted to be a dynasty, but the Japanese wanted to steal the technology and systems of the dynasty and make their country stronger.

It is still quite terrible to be a country in Japan.

Although it is at most a rebellious person in front of the Heavenly Kingdom, if it is replaced, it will definitely be the overlord of the side.

Du Yinxi said: "The court recently arrested two Japanese students, and the Japanese who remained in the capital gathered to protest and demanded that the court release people!"

Gao Huan let out a sigh and snorted coldly, "The two arrested students should be punished as much as they should! As for those who protest, all of them will be deported!"

Du Yinxi said: "Your Majesty, Japan has been very close to Spain recently. Will this push Japan to the Spanish side?"

Gao Huan recently saw the news that his good brother had sent back and told him about the situation in Japan.

In recent years, the Korean government has used Japan as a dumping place for goods, causing a large amount of silver in Japan to flow out and a serious trade deficit.

The consequence is that Japan is getting poorer and poorer, and the Tokugawa shogunate and major names have problems with the finances.

There was a loud voice in Japan that rejected the Korean Empire, and the Tokugawa shogunate also colluded with the Spanish.

The Spanish fleet was originally going to rescue Manila, but when they arrived in East Asia, Manila had been taken down by Zheng Chenggong, so they anchored in Japan.

A powerful Spanish fleet was docking. With the Japanese people's character of being weak and afraid of hard, Gao Huan estimated that the Japanese pirates might have turned to Spain.

The only one who can challenge China is Japan. Gao Huan will not let them develop, otherwise there will be two voices in East Asia, which will seriously restrict Gao Huan from expanding overseas.

Therefore, Gao Huan did not want Japan to reform, but hoped to castrate Japan and use it for his own use.

Thinking of this, Gao Huan waved his hand, "It's okay, do as I want! In the future, all the people from Japan will be strictly monitored and conducted political review, leaving only those who admire this dynasty who fail the political review and refuse to enter!"

Gao Huan felt that from now on, the screening should be carried out, and Japan should not learn the system and technology of Ganchao, and then deal with Ganchao in turn.
