Liang Zhong was just asking the most rare thing. After the door was closed, he whispered: "Your Highness mentioned it, but the princess said that he would pay taxes if he could make money. If he didn't make money, let alone pay taxes, he couldn't even pay wages!"

"This is a test!"

Fang Xing raised his glass and said, "The princess's eyelids are too shallow, right? There are countless businesses that make money in the Ming Dynasty. Does she have to test His Majesty's bottom line?"

Liang Zhong took a sip of wine and narrowed his eyes with satisfaction and said, "It's your fault. Those honorary relatives and vassal kings all want to see His Majesty's attitude towards commercial taxes. If he can let go, it would be better."

Fang Xing smiled and said, "It's not just them? Are those families with fame and fortune not doing business?"

Liang Zhong put down the wine glass and shook his head and said, "These are not moving at the moment. Let's persuade us. Whoever moves is unlucky now! I heard that Your Majesty has been checking Wang Anshi's strategy for several days, but he didn't hear any movement later. It can be seen that this matter cannot be done."

Fang Xing had a normal expression, but he sighed in his heart.

Wang Anshi was ambitious and wanted to restore the decline of the Song Dynasty, but he was eventually trapped in party struggles.

"Sima Guang!"

...

When talking about Wang Anshi, even Xie Jin looked admirable.

"I used to be honest, but it was far inferior to Wang Banshan. Heaven's change is not worth fearing, ancestors are not worthy of law, and people are not worthy of politeness. What a mind! Compared to him, Sima Guang is just a penman!"

The most proud thing about Sima Guang was probably Zizhi Tongjian, so Xie Jin was not wrong to compare him to a swordsman.

"If it weren't for Pang Ji, how could he have a chance to make a comeback? After all, the so-called moral gentleman is nothing more than superficial skill and the flattery of others."

Fang Xing smiled and said, "If Sima Jun is really focused on his studies, he can be regarded as a great man of his generation. If he really wants to enter the officialdom, he will not lose his duty in compiling historical books and censors. However,... the emperor's mentality that was restrained by the former Song Dynasty finally made him the one who decided the future of the former Song Dynasty."

Xie Jin shook his head and said, "The situation at that time was not Sima Junshi's fault. If he said it wrong, it was because the emperor of the former Song Dynasty had no backbone. If he was like His Majesty, would the officials below dare to be as unscrupulous as this?"

Wang Anshi's Qingmiao Law was eventually destroyed by the administration of officials, while the conservatives were just watching the fun around, and some even secretly made trouble. Sima Guang himself said: All officials cannot help others, so they harm the people!

To put the party above the country, just by this point, it can be said that it is really unreasonable to not perish the former Song Dynasty!

Xie Jin sighed, "Dehua, you are smart, bit by bit, and little by little, so don't worry."

Fang Xing smiled and said, "If I learn from Wang Anshi, I am afraid that the grass on the grave will be three feet tall."

"Teel it with traction! That's your benefit."

Xie Jin commented on Fang Xing’s influence on the Ming Dynasty.

...

Zhu Di was also talking to Zhu Zhanji about the reform of the Ming Dynasty, and he also admired the way he woke up.

"Fang Dehua is flexible in methods and will take advantage of the situation. You are blessed!"

Zhu Di had such a good look. After thinking about it, Fang Xing's method was naturally invisible.

Zhu Zhanji smiled and said, "Grandpa Emperor and Xing Hebo's layout in Korea and Japan has learned a lot. He also feels that the Ming Dynasty should be more flexible in the Gentiles. He must be famous, but the benefits must not be missing. Otherwise, the Gentiles will often take advantage of them. Over time, they will only regard the Ming Dynasty as a sucker!"

Zhu Di touched the paperweight and sighed: "The harvest of Japan is too great. Xia Yuanji did not sleep all night last night and brought someone to the warehouse. He hung a pair of dark circles in the morning to congratulate me, saying that the treasury for the next ten years of the Ming Dynasty was no longer necessary to worry."

Zhu Zhanji smiled and said, "There are iron ore and copper ore in Huazhou. Nuergandus will not lack these in the future. Hundreds of thousands of Koreans migrate there. Fengcheng Hou can naturally take the opportunity to explore. By then, Nuergandus will be renamed the General Secretary."

"Ha ha ha ha!"

Zhu Di couldn't help laughing, remembering the grievances he suffered when Zhu Yuanzhang made Zhu Yunwen the successor, and suddenly felt that his depression disappeared.

Zhu Zhanji also felt quite proud. Fang Xing was his man, and he was honored to be praised by Zhu Di.

Zhu Di took the globe over and pointed to the 'maritime line' and said, "The first line of defense on the sea, I don't want to listen to Fang Dehua's words. What line of defense does the Ming Dynasty need? Attack! Attack!"

Zhu Di's eyes were bright, "If there are any overseas disobediences, then go and fight! Fight until the Ming Dynasty is the best country in the world!"

After seeing the benefits of the conquest, not only some civil officials changed their positions, but even Zhu Di himself was quite moved.

Zhu Zhanji said: "Grandpa Emperor, the population of the Ming Dynasty is still not enough!"

If the population is insufficient, it will not be enough to support the Ming Dynasty's continued expansion outward.

Zhu Di comforted his thumb and said, "Potato! With potatoes, the people of the Ming Dynasty did not need to worry about not being able to raise children. If you have more children, you will see results in twenty years."

Potatoes are Zhu Di’s greatest confidence at present. As long as the Ming Dynasty did not lack food, Alutai and Oirat were just native chickens and dogs in his eyes.

However, when it comes to this matter, Zhu Zhanji felt that Zhu Di was a little guilty: "Grandpa, if you say this potato, you won't lose money if you give it to a marquis!"

Zhu Di snorted lightly: "Now, what will you give to the king in the future? Should I give to the king?"

Zhu Zhanji said guiltily: "Grandpa Emperor, Xinghe is going to start classes today, grandson will go and listen first."

Zhu Di shouted: "Get out!"

Zhu Zhanji ran away, and Zhu Di laughed and scolded: "Zhu Zi! It's just unstable!"

Huang Yan only smiled at this time and said, "Your Majesty, Your Highness is eager to learn, and you are rare in ancient and modern times, both in China and abroad, like Your Highness, you are as eager to learn!"

Zhu Di smiled slightly and was secretly proud of his beard.

...

Fang Xing’s class is very scattered, and sometimes he even says whatever he thinks.

The students in both classes were crowded in the classroom, and they all looked at it.

Fang Xing didn't use any teaching aids, he just went on stage with empty hands.

The students below all lowered their breaths and watched carefully the mountain leader who added two governors and several silver mountains to the Ming Dynasty.

Young people need role models, and Fang Xing knows this well, so his first sentence is encouragement.

"I've seen your recent studies, it's good, and it's making great progress!"

"Today I will tell you some of the events of this conquest of North Korea and Japan."

Xie Jin was listening behind and couldn't help but smile when he heard this topic.

These students are too young!

With a sense of urgency, Fang Xing thought of the lessons of reforms from Wang Anshi and other seniors, so the requirements for students were also increased a lot.

"The cause of the war between North Korea and Japan is very simple, it is just a battle for Tsushima Island."

Fang Xing pointed to the big map hanging on the blackboard and said, "Tsukema Island is at a critical point. If it is controlled by North Korea, Japan will be uneasy day and night, so the two sides have a big battle."

Zhu Zhanji was listening outside the back window, and Jia Quan was listening too, and he listened very seriously.

"Since the Ming Dynasty took back the former land of Huazhou, North Korea's only outward expansion direction was the sea, and just opposite the sea was Japan..."

"Both sides are preparing, and finally they start with a sneak attack from North Korea, and the Japanese counterattack landing in North Korea ends because of the Ming Dynasty's intervention."

"You also know what happened after that. The Ming Dynasty defeated Japan and annexed North Korea in one fell swoop. So do you have any questions?"

Fang Xing doesn’t like pure indoctrination in class, he prefers to let students dig out the secrets hidden in the incident on their own.

A student raised his hand, got Fang Xing's approval and asked, "Master, according to your statement, did this series of things start with the Ming Dynasty taking back Huazhou...?"

This question lit up Xie Jin's eyes, and the students were upset.
