The words Zhu Di said casually were tacitly, and they all pretended to be lazy. Those who could be here were all humans. If you don’t even understand His Majesty’s little thoughts, it would be really foolish. So everyone just thought it was discussing something worth mentioning, showing a careless look.

Then he heard Zhu Di continue: "The Hao Family Town Jiaozhi should serve the imperial court. However, the firearms team is small after all, and the firearms are good at defending but not attacking, so they are afraid they are not very useful. But then again, I do not expect the firearms team to suppress the rebellion, so I can let them jointly fight. The decree will be issued. If Hao Fenglou has free time to build a ship, he will try to hone a few."

Everyone said one after another: "Your Majesty is wise."

Zhu Di waved his hand and said, "I am too tired, please leave."

Xie Jin took the lead and the rest stood up one after another: "I'm going to leave."

The ministers left cleanly, leaving only one Zhu Di.

Zhu Di breathed a sigh of relief, thinking about the report just now, and stroked the desk with his hand, full of fatigue.

He was really tired, and suddenly found that many ambitions were wiped out by these countless trivial matters. Even a tiger trapped in this cave and surrounded by endless famine and rebellion would develop boredom.

Zhu Di deeply hated the situation in front of him, and Zhu Di was also worried about what happened in Jiaozhi.

How could Jiaozhi be hidden from him? With his eyes, of course he understood that Jiaozhi has encountered a dead end now. On the one hand, he cannot make a big move, and it is impossible to launch a southern expedition. But the problem is that with the guards of Jiaozhi and Guangxi, the more people are suppressing more and more. It can be seen that those traitors have lost their hearts in Jiaozhi. Now the attack is like holding firewood to put out fires. The more they suppress, the more chaotic Jiaozhi is. The more chaotic it is, the more people are displaced, and more and more chasing soldiers will be robbed, causing people to lose their hearts faster, forcing many people to take risks and turn from good people into traitors.

If this continues, Jiaozhi is really a bit useless for Zhu Di. It’s tasteless to eat, but it’s a pity to throw it away.

If he cannot suppress the rebels and let them continue to be corrupt, would he give up? Of course, Zhu Di refused to give up. This is the one who can take action after so long as he ascended the throne. He is not Jianwen, but Jianwen is orthodox and justified. However, he is called Jingnan, but he knows that he has a wrong position and needs to put gold on his face to show his civil and military skills. Only in order to show that this is God's will and maintain his imperial power. Otherwise, once he arouses doubts and becomes a laughing stock, it will be bad.

The current problem is no longer as simple as suppressing thieves. What is more important is how to comfort and recruit. Pleasure is one aspect, and recruitment is also the other aspect. Blindly appointing a method is not enough to solve the current problem.

Suddenly... Zhu Di seemed to remember a memorial.

This memorial was introduced by Hao Fenglou half a year ago. Before Hao Fenglou had argued with some ministers about Jiaozhi's issue. In the end, Zhu Di planned to promote the county, but Hao Fenglou did not continue to argue, but just made a confession. It is not wrong to say that Your Majesty's implementation of the county, but Jiaozhi also has special features. The official has its own disadvantages of the official. Once the official is in trouble, Jiaozhi will be in chaos. Why not imitate Yunnan? On the one hand, set up the official and the chieftains on the other hand, first consolidate the hearts of the people, and then slowly plan for it.

If Zhu Di had disagreed with this in the past, but now he suddenly realized something. At that time, Hao Fenglou's argument was very simple. It was nothing more than that although the Annan people were in Chinese in Hanfu, the problem was that the gentry and wealthy clans could not match the scholars of the Central Plains. If they were allowed to participate in the imperial examination, even the great scholars of Annan would be difficult to pass the exam. When Annan was still alive, they could still be officials, but they were incorporated into the Ming Dynasty. Dozens or hundreds of children might not even be able to make a scholar. If there is no fame, why should the gentry be discussed? If it is not a gentry, the militant officials will definitely not care about it. In this way, the conflict between the two sides will inevitably intensify. If even these people are resentful to the court, if they secretly fan the flames, Jiaozhi will be in chaos.

Hao Fenglou's prediction...has come true...

Zhu Di couldn't help but smile bitterly. He was obviously too confident at that time. He thought Hao Fenglou was talking nonsense. Now, it makes sense to think about it carefully. Throughout the dynasties, emperors always shouted to rule the world with scholars and officials. And the fact is that the gentry gained fame and fortune of different sizes based on training their children, and these fames became privileges. With this privilege, the officials who took office naturally would not easily offend these "scholars" after taking office. After all, these people affected the Qing Dynasty of the Scholars, and even

Even in the local and even the court, there are relationships like spider webs. Therefore, if the officials who took office have to show that "love the people as much as their children", they will inevitably be extremely generous to these scholars. However, after receiving the "care" of local parents, the gentry will assist the government in handling tasks, such as urging grain, catching steals, running schools, building bridges and paving roads. The rights of both parties are complementary. Local officials represent the court, while gentry represents the local influence. In the local area, both parties work together to govern the people.

But in Annan, it was obvious that this foundation was completely broken up. Since there were no scholars in Jiaozhi, there were naturally no gentry. In the eyes of local officials, these people were just a group of tyrants and powerful people. You had no influence, could not threaten others, or influence their careers. If others didn't fix you, you would be greedy and powerful, and they completely ignored the "people's sentiment". The Jiaozhi tyrants, after the establishment of the province of Jiaozhi, had already taken a sharp turn for the worse and were exploited by local officials, and they could not help but feel resentful. Under such circumstances, a little bit of sparks was a group of people rebelled. The gentry who originally cooperated with the government to suppress the civilian reforms turned into rebels.

A slight rebellion of the people is actually not a big deal, but if many local tyrants are intertwined behind this civil war, the matter will be serious.

Zhu Di couldn't help calling out: "Zheng He, come."

Zheng He came quickly and said carefully: "I am here."

Zhu Di said slowly: "I intend to let you go to the West to prepare early. Do you still remember this?"

Zheng He said: "I dare not forget."

Zhu Di smiled and said, "But now, I'm going to make you prepare. The coastal defense shipyard is building a large ship to voyage to the West. I plan to go there."

"Ah..." No matter how calm Zheng He was, he was shocked when he heard this.

Zhu Di said seriously, "You go and see the ship. I ordered your Haidang Shipyard to supervise the construction. I will go to Jiaozhi immediately and see your senior brother..." Zhu Di narrowed his eyes and explained, "I have to pass on a few words to me. First, in the Hao Family Town, Jiaozhi, everything can be done cheaply. If you can make Jiaozhi stable, there is no need to be taboos. Let him go to the matter of asking for trouble. Tell him that I have read the memorial more than half a year ago and think it makes sense."

Zheng He glanced at Zhu Di deeply and said respectfully: "I understand."

Zhu Di smiled and said, "Since you understand, you will set off tomorrow, and the shipbuilding matter cannot be delayed."

Zheng He thought to himself, it is the same as if he had himself or not himself, how could it be delayed? Could it be that the speed of building a ship be accelerated after he went? Most of the time his Majesty was concerned about Jiaozhi. Zheng He knew Zhu Di's thoughts well, so he couldn't explain it, but he nodded and left.

This was not the first time Zheng He left the palace. In fact, he was a person who had seen the world. When Jingnan was in the past, he also ran around and put in a lot of effort.

Since he knew that His Majesty was urgent, Zheng He did not dare to neglect his clothes. He ordered someone to pack up his luggage and selected more than a dozen of "heavenly missed" accompanying him. He resigned to Zhu Di early the next morning.

Zhu Di smiled at him, but Zheng He looked at His Majesty's bloodshot eyes, and he seemed to have not slept for a night last night, so he couldn't help saying, "Your Majesty wants to take good care of your health. I am afraid that I will not be able to come back in a few months."

Zhu Di smiled and said, "Go, I have a letter here. Remember, this is not an imperial edict, it is just a letter. You can transfer it to Hao Fenglou and let him see it."

Zhu Di picked up a stack of thick documents, which looked like he was afraid that he would be as scattered as ten thousand words. Only then did Zheng He understand why the emperor had not slept all night, and it turned out that he had done it all night to write such a letter.

However, from this point alone, we can see Zhu Di's attention to this letter. Zheng He accepted it, carefully held it, and said, "I will say goodbye."

………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………

Seeing Zheng He leave, Zhu Di stood alone in this empty hall. His eyes emitted a faint light, and his eyes couldn't help but look at the beams and pillars in the hall. He vaguely remembered that once Hao Fenglou made some mistakes and was called by him. He told Hao Fenglou in front of him that he did not want him to be a good person, but to be the beams and pillars of the Ming Dynasty. Yes, it seemed to be related to the Longjiang Shipyard.

Thinking of some past events, Zhu Di couldn't help laughing.

But when he looked at the beams and pillars again, he couldn't help but murmured to himself: "Jiaozhi Building is about to collapse. Can a single tree hold on? It would be a blessing to hold on. What if it can't hold on?"

A heavy haze pressed on Zhu Di's heart. His lips couldn't help but tremble, and his eyes immediately became hardened. He laughed at the concern that the sky could not fall. Even if the sky fell, there was the pillar I left there. Even if the pillar didn't work, I wouldn't have to do this. It would be better to be the Dinghai Dinghai Needle again in Jiaozhi.
