I don't know if it was Jiang Wan's illusion. As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly felt that the atmosphere in the entire hall was stagnant. Even the breeze blowing in from the door of the hall seemed to have stopped suddenly.
Zhu Youjian didn't speak for a long time. He just looked at Jiang Wan calmly, just like Jiang Wan looked at him calmly.
However, there was no displeasure on his face.
"For this third point, didn't you ask Xu Renzhi to ask me for help?" Zhu Youjian slowly said: "I asked you to do it. Now that you bring up this topic again, could it be that before that, your overseas town?
Do the tens of thousands of people in Fusi consider themselves to be citizens of the Ming Dynasty?"
"Please make it clearer!" Jiang Wan said: "What your Majesty promises is the establishment of the Overseas Zhenfu Division. This is the foundation of the Overseas Zhenfu Division. No matter how you do it or say it, the Overseas Zhenfu Division is the yamen of the Ming Dynasty.
, the soldiers and horses are also Ming Dynasty’s soldiers and horses?”
He said calmly: "What I want is your majesty's golden words and royal authority; what I want is the upright name of the Overseas Governance Department, not the agency established by your majesty out of helplessness; what I want is my overseas governorship."
The Si became a yamen stationed outside the Ming Dynasty, but connected with the inside and outside of the Ming Dynasty, independent but not isolated!"
He said word for word: "Just like a royal guard!"
"I can trust you, but how can I trust the tens of thousands of people under your command!" Zhu Youjian said bluntly: "If you were here, maybe the overseas governor could obey the imperial decree, but you are in the Ming Dynasty.
Besides, if you die, how many of the tens of thousands of soldiers in this overseas land will be kings and how many will be hegemons?"
"If you want to be like the Jin Yiwei, but if you allow me to arrange officials and generals in your overseas control department, aren't you afraid that I will sideline you?"
"I can do it!" Jiang Wan said categorically: "The Overseas Town and Fu Division is your Majesty's Overseas Town and Fu Division, and I am only temporarily in charge of your Majesty. If Your Majesty thinks that someone can take charge of the Overseas Town and Fu Division in your place, you can resist in Liaodong.
Tartars, to stabilize the place and recover the lost territory, Your Majesty can arrange for this person to take over the Overseas Control Department!"
"Are you willing to hand over military power so easily?" Zhu Youjian showed a hint of sneer on his face: "If the people I arrange are not as good as you want, can you still use this excuse to refuse my arrangement?"
"Such a major event involves the lives and deaths of hundreds of thousands of people, as well as the stability of our Ming Dynasty's borders and the stability of our country. Your Majesty will naturally act with caution!"
Jiang Wan did not admit or deny this, but just reminded Zhu Youjian that this was not a matter of conflict of temperament.
"How about Sun Chuanting?" Zhu Youjian pondered for a long time and said a name.
This time, it was Jiang Wan's turn to be silent, but his silence did not last long. He raised his head and looked at Zhu Youjian in front of him: "Yes!"
Zhu Youjian laughed, and laughed happily. This was the first time since Jiang Wan entered this hall that he laughed without concealing his emotions, no matter Jiang Wan's "but" answer
No matter how difficult it was, Jiang Wan finally said it from Jiang Wan's mouth.
At this point, Zhu Youjian was completely relieved about Jiang Wan. Even if he took the risk to see Jiang Wan yesterday, he still had the element of gambling. Although the two of them would not open their hearts and trust each other all at once from now on.
However, as an emperor, he finally believed that the minister in front of him had no objections.
"I have changed my generals before the battle. I have not yet reached this point. I don't want to destroy the great situation created by your Overseas Pressure Division with my own hands!" He waved his hand with a smile: "Take your heart back to your stomach.
Go here, you can still be the commander of your overseas Zhenfu Division. As for the permanent issue of this yamen, I will consider it carefully and give you an answer. However, what I said is to send people to the Zhenfu Division as officials and generals.
, it’s not a joke, you have to know it in your heart!”
"Thank you for your grace, Your Majesty!" Jiang Wan smiled. The two of them had finally taken a big step forward from the most basic trust. Seeing that the relationship between the two was developing in a better and better direction, he felt in his heart
Also very happy.
If possible, who is willing to be a rebellious minister of the Ming Dynasty, with a powerful empire on his back? Jiang Wan can do more and bigger things. Those who only want to separatize the place and rebel to become the king, besides satisfying
What good can their selfish desires do to this country, this nation, and the people of the world?
As for talking about changing dynasties or even changing the social form, Jiang Wan has never thought about it. He is not that great, nor is he so capable. What can be done under the productivity is determined by objective laws. Being able to uphold
A simple idea, benefiting himself and the people around him, and using his influence to let more people live a better life that they could not otherwise live. In Jiang Wan's view, this is what is best for him.
Yes, this is also his ideal that has never changed since the beginning.
If the empire has internal and external troubles, then he will do his best to help the monarch who trusts him to quell these internal and external troubles; if the empire is weak and trustworthy, then he will do his best to make the empire strong.
The people became rich and powerful.
Just like the sentence that touched him the most in a book in later generations: No matter whether you are high up in the temple or far away from the rivers and lakes, as long as you always have the people of the world in your heart, such a person can be an official or do a good job.
Good official!
In Jiang Wan's heart, he couldn't hold all the people in the world, but Zhu Youjian could.
This burden is too heavy for his shoulders to carry, but Zhu Youjian can. Although this burden is also very heavy for Zhu Youjian, Zhu Youjian can let more people help him carry it.
This burden, and Jiang Wan, can and must be one of these people to help him carry this heavy burden.
Of course, the premise is that Zhu Youjian cannot hesitate or give up.
"The three policies of Ping Liao barely passed the test with me!" Zhu Youjian's voice rang in Jiang Wan's ears: "I will discuss the ban on trade with the cabinet at the court meeting in the next few days. Once
With the regulations in place, I will immediately issue an edict to the world to strictly implement them. At the same time, your Overseas Zhenfu Division, a mutual trading place in Phoenix City, can also start preparations. The imperial court will send people to do this in person, and your Overseas Zhenfu Division is only responsible for it.
It is the responsibility of guarding and protecting, and you are not allowed to interfere in matters such as trade!"
"This minister knows the importance!" Jiang Wan said: "All the proceeds from the mutual trade must be turned over to the national treasury, and the overseas governors dare not take any profit from it!"
"This second strategy, since you have returned to Beijing this time, I think the previous wars should not be very tense. You might as well stay in Beijing for a few more days. I will leave the matter of selling land in Liaodong to the Ministry of Household Affairs. However,
You have to decide how to operate it specifically. Since you want the taxes on these fields, you can't just do nothing!"
"That's what I mean!" Jiang Wan nodded with a smile on her face: "However, with His Majesty's will, I dare to let go, and only the wealthy officials in the capital have the courage to do such a thing with me.
A deal!”
"Okay, please step back first!" Zhu Youjian seemed a little excited: "I want to summon others immediately to discuss the three strategies of Ping Liao..."
He suddenly raised his head, with a narrow smile on his face: "Take care of your doghouse, don't look like you are going to run away at any time, and ask your wife to take your son into the palace to meet the queen."
How can the Queen Mother and the family members of my most trusted ministers not be favored and rewarded by the palace!"
"... Thank you very much, Your Majesty. I will take my leave!"
