***Needle back.

When I woke up again, the sun was already shining through the window.

After rubbing his eyes, Zhu Guoqiang turned his head and saw that the person beside the pillow had already woken up, and there was still a little rouge fragrance in the curtains, which were two completely different flavors.

Breathing at the rouge fragrance between the nose, Zhu Guoqiang's mind suddenly appeared in his mind the ridiculous and lingering scene of last night.

While chuckling, Zhu Guoqiang thought to himself.

It seems that they have indeed neglected them a while ago, which is inevitable. After all, there are dozens of concubines in the palace now, and it is impossible for them to get evenly touched by the iron body.

"Hey, the king also has the suffering of the king."

Just then, Liu Rushi came over. Although she was tired, her eyebrows were full of smiles. She had already dressed up and walked in and said softly.

"I am waiting for Your Majesty to dress."

...

In the next few days, Zhu Guoqiang did not mention the "Southern Barbarian Land" at all, and of course he did not mention the "pardonation" of surrendered captives and rebels as a thief. It was like a dialogue with Liu Rushi that never happened.

In this way, it was not until the end of the year that another official wrote a letter asking for pardons of several elderly people from the thief and rebel ministers that Zhu Guoqiang said.

"In your opinion, these ruthless ministers will not die if they are guilty?"

The five cabinet ministers, including Song Xuezhu, didn't know what to say.

In fact, most of them were sympathetic to the thief colleagues in the capital. Not everyone could "repay the king with death" in the original situation. Of course, more importantly, those people included their colleagues, classmates and old friends of the same year, and their disciples. Faced with the reality that their clan was exiled overseas, they would certainly feel sympathy. If they had the opportunity, they naturally hoped to help them.

But the question is...what is Your Majesty's attitude?

Your Majesty is a revengeful person.

After a long time, Lu Zhenfei spoke:

"Your Majesty, although those traitors have been convicted, many of them are old and weak. Dozens of people have died in foreign lands in recent years. If they can be promised that the elderly and weak will return home, they will show their great grace. Besides, they are only allowed to serve the younger generations in front of them, but only a few dozen people."

"Hmph, just dozens of people!"

Zhu Guoqiang sneered:

"After this example is about to be launched, it is probably within a few years that these thieves and tyrants will be able to return home. In another ten years, there will be many people left. If I made this hole, I am afraid that their relatives and friends will be old and old, and classmates in the same year will make every effort to make them "return home in a weak way". By then, the so-called exile will be just a joke."

Lu Zhenfei was silent immediately. This problem was really unsolvable. To be honest, he knew that this was inevitable, and the reason why he would not object was that there were his relatives and friends.

Moreover, if this matter is reported, whether it is successful or not, the gentry and officials in the world will praise him very much. If he can stand up and speak, it is simply a timely help!

But your Majesty's attitude.

Seeing this, Li Jiantai said:

"Your Majesty, "Life is rare in seventy years." You might as well limit them to seventy, so that they can return home at seventy. This will not only demonstrate the laws of the court, but also show the great grace of the emperor, and avoid someone taking advantage of this matter to favor personal gain."

Li Jiantai's suggestion seemed safe, but Zhu Guoqiang sneered.

"My emperor's kindness does not need to be shown like this. When they made their choice, they had to pay the price for their choice, the price... The price is that they will not be allowed to return to the Ming Dynasty in their lifetime. It is already a blessing from outside the law for them to exile for the people! Don't discuss this matter again!"

Sometimes, if you want to make something happen, you must put more pressure on it. Only when those people are desperate, when they cannot see hope, when the life-saving straw appears, will they seize it tightly and be grateful for the great grace of the emperor.

The so-called great emperor's grace is nothing more than "giving both kindness and power".

Then Song Xuezhu reported on other matters, but Zhu Guoqiang only needed to say "I know" for most of the matters. The specific operations were all handled by the cabinet, the six ministries and the corresponding yamen.

Compared with Chongzhen's diligence, Zhu Guoqiang's attitude towards the government can even be described as "lazy government". Of course, he is much better than Shenzong, but most of the time, he just grasps the overall situation. In fact, as an emperor, it is impossible to interfere in everything in detail, unless he is like Zhu Yuanzhang who has endless energy.

But the problem is that the emperor needs to ask about everything in detail, so what should he do in the cabinet if he wants ministers? Moreover, the emperor's energy is limited, and he must devote his limited energy to the endless glorious and great task of benefiting the people of the world, such as creating a man with a concubine in the harem.

After all, the Indian people alone need hundreds of princes!

"Your Majesty, the governor of Guangdong reported that this month, the national and foreign ships such as Spain, England, France, etc. sailed into Xiangshan O. The governor of Guangdong asked what to do about this matter."

"What else can I do?"

Li Jiantai reminded:

"The Chief Minister, I had ordered the Portuguese to repeatedly order the Portuguese. Xiangshan Ao was not allowed to accept ships from other countries entering the port. Did they ignore the Ming Dynasty's laws?"

As early as the first year of Qiansheng, in order to stimulate the development of the Nantianmen, of course, it was mainly to promote the development of the Ming Dynasty's maritime industry. The imperial court issued a decree prohibiting ships from various countries from directly coming to China for trade. Ships from various countries could only reach the Nantianmen, which is the "Singapore" trade in later generations.

Our Ming Dynasty is also locked down!

But this is different. This seemingly locked down the country was specially formulated by Zhu Guoqiang. Why did this protection policy be formulated?

The Ming Dynasty's navigation technology is backward!

Although Ming ships sailed all over the world before this, under the competition of Western countries, all routes were at a disadvantage. Although the annual output of Ming commodities reached millions of taels, more than 60% to 70% of the commodities were transported by foreign merchant ships.

In order to protect the interests of the Ming Dynasty and stimulate the navigation industry of the Ming Dynasty, it was inevitable to formulate corresponding trade protection. Therefore, Zhu Guoqiang referred to the British "Navigation Act" and formulated the "Navigation Law" only owned by the Ming Dynasty or its colonies. The ships manufactured can go to the Ming Dynasty for trade. Merchants from other countries can only be docked at the South Heaven Gate and trade at the South Heaven Gate.

It is precisely through this kind of navigation protection that excludes competition from other European countries that in the past six years, the Ming Dynasty's navigation industry has developed rapidly, and the huge South China Sea has become the training ground for the Ming Dynasty.

First there is the South Ocean, then the Indian Ocean, and then... the world!

This is a gradual process, and navigation technology takes time to accumulate.

From near-shore to far-sea, this is a process. And the only loophole in this bill is Xiangshan O!

That is Macau!

Under Portugal, this led to the possibility of grape merchant ships directly entering Macau for trade, and some countries' merchant ships sailing into Macau for trade.

"Your Majesty, since the Portuguese ignored the imperial decrees, it would be better to directly prohibit merchants from trading with Macau."

Lu Zhenfei also suggested on the side, and Zhang Bingwen also agreed with the proposal.

"Your Majesty, in the past we could turn a blind eye because the Ming Dynasty's ocean-going maritime industry had just begun, but now it's different. There are more and more ships in the Ming Dynasty. Xiangshan Ao has long been dispensable. Even if trade is prohibited, there will be no transportation problems. Our Ming ships are enough to transport the Ming Dynasty's cargo."

"If this matter is banned, will it incite a conflict with the Portuguese?"

Gao Hongtu still couldn't make up his mind. After all, this determination was likely to be a war.

War is not a good thing.

Upon hearing this, Lu Zhenfei said angrily:

"What conflict is that, my Ming Dynasty is still afraid that his red-haired hair will not be successful? As an important minister of the Ming Dynasty, how can we sit down and see our territory as the capital of foreigners? Your Majesty, our Ming Dynasty is the heavenly dynasty, but our territory is the capital of foreigners. If we do not recover our territory, we are all criminals of the Ming Dynasty. Is it unbearable? Please send troops to take back Xiangshanao!"

Why did Lu Zhenfei perform so fiercely?
