Chapter 284 Be my Ming Dynasty’s dog

Everyone present heard the implications of the emperor's words, but no one dared to raise objections.

From the moment a clan member signed up to take the imperial examination, the nature of it had changed.

Regardless of whether these people have real talent or knowledge, the court must accept them and allow them to enter official careers.

Because this is a model that must be established. In addition, they are not fighting alone. Behind them, there are millions of Ming Dynasty clans!

In order to eliminate the adverse effects of the reduction of royal family expenses implemented by the previous court and the no longer hereditary succession of titles, this part of the price must be borne by the court.

"In order to take the overall interests of the imperial court into consideration, we should work harder to take the exams. Yan Shifan will be the one to take the blame!"

And this is what everyone on the other side of Qingliu is thinking at this moment.

Yan Shifan naturally noticed the pity looks that everyone in Qingliu gave him, but he didn't care about it.

"Hmph, it's superficial. If this matter is done well, not only can we gain His Majesty's favor, but we can also build a good relationship with those clan members!"

"However, we have to guard against Qingliu and his gang secretly stumbling upon us behind the scenes."

Yan Shifan squinted his eyes slightly and began to make calculations in his heart.

Then, Jiajing coughed twice, attracting everyone's attention to him.

"Ahem, since the specific matters of this imperial examination have been discussed."

"Then next, we should discuss how to bring the silver mines in the Kyushu region of Japan under the control of my Ming Dynasty!"

"My dear friends, if you have any ideas, just put them forward."

After hearing the emperor's words, everyone present looked stern and their breathing inevitably became rapid.

After all, everyone's interests are related to this!

Later, Zhang Juzheng stood up first and proposed to Jiajing.

"Your Majesty, I have some ideas."

When Jiajing heard this, he waved his hand quite casually and said.

"Well, if Aiqing has any ideas, it doesn't matter."

After Zhang Juzheng looked around, he expressed his thoughts.

"Weichen feels that if we, the Ming Dynasty, want to occupy all the silver mines in Japan, we need to take three steps."

"The first step is that our Ming Dynasty must send corresponding merchant ships to the Kyushu region of Japan for trade, and learn about the local customs, hydrology and landforms, etc., so as to clear obstacles for our navy in the Ming Dynasty in advance."

"Second step, His Majesty once mentioned before that Japan is still in the Warring States Period. The entire country is divided and regions are hostile to each other. We, the Ming Dynasty, can use this to vigorously cultivate rebel forces in the Kyushu region!"

"My Ming Dynasty can not only cultivate rebel forces in the Kyushu region, but if necessary, we can also form an alliance with the forces that oppose Otomo Zonglin."

"In this way, with calculated calculations and unintentional calculations, under internal and external troubles, this great friend Zong Lin will definitely not be my opponent in the Ming Dynasty!"

"The third step is also the most important step. If you want to destroy your country, you must first destroy its history!"

When Zhang Juzheng said this, he paused and continued to add.

"After the local area is under the actual control of my Ming Dynasty, burn all the local history, and then send special personnel to educate the local people, so that they will willingly obey my Ming Dynasty and be my Ming Dynasty's dogs!"

"Finally, after the situation stabilizes, we will use the Kyushu region as a springboard to gradually plot the entire Japan!"

After Zhang Juzheng put forward his strategy in full, the entire cabinet was silent as everyone was thinking about the feasibility of this plan.

After a while, Yan Shifan stood up and raised an objection.

"Your Majesty, I feel that there are still some flaws in the entire plan."

"Oh, Yan Shifan, if you have any opinions, feel free to put them forward!"

Jiajing retracted his gaze and ordered like this.

"As you command, Your Majesty!"

Yan Shifan added after bowing respectfully to Jiajing.

"Although this plan seems to be seamless and interlocking, if there is any flaw in any link, all the previous efforts will be wasted!"

"If nothing else, let's take the cultivation of local resistance forces as an example."

"Right now, although Japan is still in the Warring States Period, the entire country is in a state of fragmentation."

"However, it costs money to cultivate local rebel forces!"

"Currently, the lives of the people of Ming Dynasty are not easy, so how can we use money to fund the local rebel forces?"

"Besides, if the rebel forces cultivated by our Ming Dynasty are embarrassed and useless, what will happen then?"

Yan Shifan's words made everyone present fall into deep thought.

Xu Jie on the side frowned, not knowing what he was thinking.

"Yes, life is not easy for the people of Ming Dynasty right now, so how can we help the local rebel forces?"

Gao Gong, who was very rare, did not raise any objection to Yan Shifan's proposal, but followed closely.

"Oh, Yan Shifan, now that you recognize this problem, have you thought of any solution?"

Jiajing took in the expressions on everyone's faces, turned his gaze to Yan Shifan, and then asked.

When Yan Shifan heard this, his expression was troubled and he could only say timidly.

"Your Majesty, I have not thought of a solution yet."

Just when the discussion was about to reach a deadlock, Xu Jie stood up and respectfully greeted Jiajing.

"Your Majesty, I have thought of a solution."

"Oh, Mr. Xu Ge has a solution to this problem. Let's talk about it."

Seeing that Xu Jie had a solution, Jiajing raised his eyebrows and asked with interest.

"There is no need for our Ming Dynasty to spend too much energy to cultivate local rebel forces. Aren't there already ready-made ones along the southeastern coast of our Ming Dynasty?"

Xu Jie looked around and said slowly.

"What Mr. Xu Ge means is that the Ming Dynasty can also use the group of Japanese pirates on the southeast coast?"

When Xu Jie proposed this suggestion to the emperor, Yan Song had already understood what he meant and asked immediately.

"Well, what Mr. Yan Ge said is true. The Ming Dynasty can indeed take advantage of these Japanese pirates!"

I saw Xu Jie slightly nodding his head in the direction of Yan Song, which was regarded as acknowledgment of Yan Song.

"But...but, the Japanese pirates currently entrenched along the southeast coast have been almost wiped out by Hu Zongxian!"

Gao Gong on the side, after thinking for a long time, mustered up the courage to say.

"It doesn't matter, if you kill one group, there will be another group."

"Those people, if they cannot survive in Japan, will inevitably embark on the path of robbery."

"When the time comes, I, the Ming Dynasty, only need to show me some favors, and I will be able to firmly control these Japanese pirates in my hands!"

"If it doesn't work, give them a promise, saying that as long as they can complete the tasks assigned by the court with excellence, the court will let them and their families live a good life!"

"As for whether or not to redeem it, and when to redeem it, that is another matter."

Yan Song glanced at Gao Gong and then added.

After everyone put forward their suggestions, Jiajing began to weigh the pros and cons and fell into deep thought.

I saw Jiajing's fingers tapping on the dragon chair very rhythmically, making a "ta-da" sound.

After a long time, Jiajing came back to his senses and laughed loudly.

"Well, that's right, I got it right!"
