Zhu Di now has no doubt that he will definitely apply for an overseas feudal state like the royal family.

After the canonization document is approved, he can start to form the inner court.

Process is not important, what matters is talent.

Everyone knows that it is difficult for a country to last long without the support of talented people, especially in a place as far away from the Ming Dynasty as Japan, where there are very few people who understand Chinese, let alone recruit local indigenous people.

Therefore, Zhu Di could only start recruiting a large number of talents in the capital. As soon as he conquered Japan, he quickly established his own grass-roots team to stabilize the situation.

Li Jinglong was the talent he had long admired.

Although he is suspected of being a fool in later generations, there is no doubt that in terms of civil and military skills, and looking at the overall level of the entire Ming Dynasty, Li Jinglong is definitely one of the best talents.

The most important thing is that he can fight wars on horseback and govern a country on horseback. He also has rich experience in commerce and trade.

There are really not many such talents, even in the current Ming Dynasty.

Zhu Di is very aware of these, and with his own connections, he must strike first.

Obviously, after hearing what his cousin said, Li Jinglong had nothing to hesitate and said bluntly: "My cousin is going to found the country. It is my nephew's honor to be able to look up to him. I will definitely live up to my cousin's expectations."

Hearing Li Jinglong's readily agreed, Zhu Di was still very happy even though he was already confident in his heart. He picked up the teacup and said, "You and I grew up together. Although we are cousins, we are actually as close as brothers."

"After leaving Japan, I am afraid it will take more than ten years before I can return to the Ming Dynasty. It will take such a long time to work hard for Jinglong."

Zhu Di said with some emotion.

It is actually very difficult to recruit talents to go to Japan with you. Those who are slightly famous or who live a good life in Ming Dynasty will basically refuse.

In the minds of the Ming Dynasty, places like the Japanese country were just a barbarian land. They did not understand etiquette, justice and integrity, so going there would most likely be an insult to the civilized people.

Recruiting talents is still very difficult.

As Cao Guogong, a relative of the emperor and a nephew of His Majesty, Li Jinglong basically ran amok throughout the Ming Dynasty.

Except for a few who need to be a little wary, it can be said that there is no need to take it seriously.

Giving up your wealthy and luxurious life and following him to those barbarian lands is an act of absolute righteousness.

This friendship made Zhu Di feel warm in his heart.

Li Jinglong thought for a moment and continued: "Cousin, I still have a few good brothers over there. I'll go lobby them and they'll find that they're all good at literature and martial arts. Maybe I can recruit a few more for my cousin."

Hearing this, Zhu Di became even more moved.

He stood up and bowed, "Thank you Jinglong."

...

"Emperor Nephew, we are like this. You can't just leave it alone. Otherwise, where will I find people? Places like Japan and other places, a group of barbarians, must develop."

"My reputation has been ruined by that guy from King Yan. He must have done it to me. Now I go out and shout at me, but no one pays attention to me."

"This is so uncomfortable, nephew, you must help my third uncle. My third uncle believes in you. As long as you give me some ideas, you will definitely be able to solve this problem."

In Kunning Palace, Zhu Fan kept chattering.

Zhu Ying sat across from him, feeling rather speechless. He didn't know who gave King Jin the bad idea to pester him.

After thinking for a moment, Zhu Ying immediately had a target, King Qin Zhu Xiang.

It has to be said that after meeting Qin Wang Zhu Ping this time, Zhu Ying found that this second uncle, who used to be confused by beauty and was a bit decadent and haggard, seemed to have completely changed.

Zhu Ying is very good at reading people, and Zhu Ping's temperament has also changed a lot.

The only one who could give the King of Jin such an idea was probably the King of Qin, Zhu Cang.

Zhu Fan looked at his eldest nephew who was thinking in front of him, feeling ecstatic in his heart.

There is drama.

It seems that the second brother is really more reliable. It was useless for me to want to find someone by myself. Now I can count on my eldest nephew to help me.

Not long after, Zhu Ying said: "I do have an idea here, maybe I can help Third Uncle recruit some talents."

Zhu Fan's eyes lit up and he quickly asked: "Emperor nephew, what do you think?"

Zhu Ying smiled slightly and said: "Overseas vassal countries, talent recruitment meeting."

In fact, this was a plan that Zhu Ying had already thought of. Zhu Ying had already started making plans in his mind since he arranged for the vassals to go overseas to establish their country.

After all, in Zhu Ying's heart, he still cared about the King of Qin Zhu Xi, the King of Jin Zhu Fan, and even the King of Yan Zhu Di.

Maybe there was a small conflict with King Zhu Di of Yan. In Zhu Ying's mind, this matter was already in the past. How could he specifically target Zhu Di, right? Impossible, absolutely impossible.

When the vassal kings went overseas to establish their country, Zhu Ying did not do it to eliminate the influence of the vassal kings on the central court, but to better spread Han culture or expand the territory of the Ming Dynasty.

Zhu Ying still has this confidence.

This talent recruitment plan was also prepared by Zhu Ying. Helping the vassal king to stabilize the vassal state, develop economic construction, and even the training and support of the army were all under Zhu Ying's support.

"Talent recruitment, does the emperor's nephew mean that the court will come to help?" Zhu Fan asked with some confusion.

Zhu Ying nodded and said: "Yes, this time we will announce it to the whole country and sincerely invite people of insight from all over the world to go overseas with my uncles to develop. In this world, many scholars want a way out.

"

"My uncles went overseas to found their country. For many scholars, they are considered the first group of elders. There must be many people who follow them."

Zhu Fan asked: "It's so far away. Once you go there, you will drag your family with you, which is suspected of being exiled. I'm afraid many people will have scruples about this."

Zhu Fan's words are indeed correct. Let alone other places, at least in the eyes of the officials in the court, going to an overseas vassal country is no different from being exiled.

Once you leave, you will never come back and your bones will be buried in a foreign land.

Who doesn’t want fallen leaves to return to their roots?

"Don't worry." Zhu Ying smiled.

"There are still a lot of scholars in the world, and it doesn't mean that if there are no people who took the imperial examination and became officials, they will definitely be worse off. With so many officials in the court, how many of them actually took the imperial examination and became officials? The key is to see

personal."

"Maybe you won't pass the imperial examination, but you will have good abilities in governing the place, teaching students, and educating students."

"For Third Uncle, the more people the merrier is, of course. Even if they are a group of scornful scholars, it is very good. After the exchange of local indigenous people, they must have useful labor, and population is the key."

Listening to his eldest nephew's analysis, Zhu Fan nodded with some vague understanding.

If I really want to say whether I understand or not, I am still confused.

Methods such as cultural invasion are still a bit difficult to understand for Zhu Fan, who loves war, but he just knows that his eldest nephew will help him win people over.

"It's just that the emperor's nephew just said that it seems that all the vassal kings can participate." Zhu Fan asked again.

What he wanted was to severely suppress King Zhu Di of Yan in the Japanese country. Now that his eldest nephew said this, it seemed that he was not unique.

Zhu Ying explained: "How can my nephew not understand the third uncle's thoughts? All uncles can naturally participate in talent recruitment. After all, it is organized by the imperial court. If it is excessive, it will be unfair."

"But Third Uncle, there is no need to worry. This time when we are building a vassal state overseas, the Qunying Chamber of Commerce under my command will provide the greatest support, not only in terms of money, but also in the construction of the vassal state, talent training, armaments, and even

We will provide maximum support in terms of war and intelligence."

Hearing this, Zhu Fan immediately became happy and even came over and patted Zhu Ying on the shoulder.

"Third uncle, I will leave it to the emperor's nephew for the rest of his life."

For people like Zhu Fan, what he disliked the most was managing internal affairs. He was naturally relieved to hear that Zhu Ying would make arrangements for all aspects of internal affairs.

Zhu Fan had experienced the benefits. When the Japanese were pacified along the coast of Zhejiang, he didn't have to worry about anything except fighting. The Qunying Chamber of Commerce would arrange everything for him.

Even the preparation of various publicity, food, information, and food and salary.

It can be said that when along the coast of Zhejiang, except for the army, everything was handled by the Qunying Chamber of Commerce.

It was also the first time in Zhu Fan's life that when he entered a certain county, he was welcomed by the people.

That feeling is so refreshing.

Zhu Ying was relatively happy to see Zhu Fan.

Regarding the three vassals of the Japanese Kingdom, Zhu Di definitely doesn't need to think too much, and will reject the Qunying Chamber of Commerce to a large extent. It is estimated that he will have to wait until he comes to the Japanese Kingdom and experience such a period of miserable days before he can recognize the reality.

On Zhu Fan's side, it was Zhu Ying who controlled it remotely.

It’s no different than building it yourself.

Among them, Zhu Ying discovered a very strange phenomenon.

If it is in the name of Ming Dynasty, many people may be submissive or even engage in various betrayals.

But if it is done in one's own name, or in the name of the Qunying Chamber of Commerce, it will be difficult to see any change in loyalty even if it is ignored for several years.

Maybe this is the difference between big pot rice and small bowl dishes.

After seeing Zhu Fan off, Zhu Ying was preparing to review the memorial when he suddenly remembered something.

He asked the eunuch Guo Zhong, the eunuch Bingbi who was waiting next to him: "During the morning, I saw Qi Tai came back. Why did he come at this time? He hasn't come to me to report on his work. Go and see what's going on."

."

Guo Zhong bowed and said: "Old slave, obey the order."

Qitai was transferred to Zhu Ying by Zhu Yuanzhang more than a month ago, and he was regarded as the inner court team recommended to Zhu Ying first.
