.Li Wei is watching.

It was not hardworking and forced. The memorials he wrote now mostly in parallel prose. For the sake of rhyme, he likes to quote some gorgeous and empty words and some obscene allusions. He doesn't read much and sometimes he can't understand them.

When Zheng’s father arrived, Li Wei asked casually: “Wheng Zheng, what’s the matter with me so late?”

It’s not about advice, Li Wei was always arrogant from beginning to end. I am the emperor. Although you are a top-notch family and a subject, there is no need to be too modest. That is not humility, but inferiority. Zheng’s father asked: “Your Majesty, I heard from the nineteenth grandson in the family that Your Majesty said that the earth is round?”

"I didn't say..." Li Wei suddenly went and thought of something. After all, the people believed in ghosts and gods at this time, and it happened that there were many strange rumors among the people, so he changed his words and said, "Why do you stand higher and look farther?"

I drew another map and the ground was round to explain this problem.

"So, as Your Majesty said, why don't people fall when the earth is turning, and when it turns below?"

This old man is curious and heavy.

"Look, why do you always fall on the ground and not bounce into the air? It's because the earth has gravity." Li Wei paused again and said, "Is it round? Your Zheng family has a fleet, which can prove that it is very far from the South China Sea to that American continent. After passing those large islands, the islands gradually decreased. Even if there are, the area is not large, and there is no supply and supplement. Moreover, the ocean is wide and the wind and waves are ruthless. According to current technology, most of them cannot be reached.

Moreover, those two continents are several times the area of ​​our Tang Dynasty, with rich resources and fertile land. Although many people are like the islands of the South China Sea, civilization is backward and easy to occupy. But it is too far away for our Tang Dynasty. On the contrary, it is very close to our Tang Dynasty. Therefore, I have never been able to show this matter. This is left to our descendants of the Tang Dynasty. When the population is rapidly expanding, they are looking for a way out. If they are now out, European countries have become greedy and have good seaship skills to reach this strange and rich continent, it is not owned by our Tang people. So, in my conversation tonight, do not show off."

This idea is also wrong. Today, the Mayans on the American continent have a high degree of civilization system and a large population, which is incomparable to the civilization of the South China Sea islands. Even if they are sent to a fleet and have the ability to arrive, if they do not communicate well, there will be more dangers.

But Li Wei was not anxious. Now even so many vast islands in the South China Sea, including Oceania, these maps have been open, but are there any people willing to live in it? How big is the area in front of you, including Oceania? People are not interested, and the distant Americas.

Besides, there are technical limitations. Some things in South America, Li Wei is very interested in... These high-yield miscellaneous grains are the crops that Li Wei coveted the most. With it, even the local people of the Tang Dynasty could feed 300 to 400 million people. But can it be reached?

"Where does Your Majesty know?"

Li Wei was waiting for his question, but he didn't answer, and pointed at the sky.

Talking randomly!

But Zheng's father was half-believing and half-doubting.

Li Wei said again: "If you don't believe it, there is another road. Take a map from here and point to the location of the Bering Strait. The strait will inevitably freeze in winter. Zheng Weng still remembers the Taihuang's actions of Lindenian and led the chiefs of all races to Mount Tai. There is a far north part called Liugui. The chief reported that it was 15,000 miles away from the capital. Hei Shui Han Ju Shaohai, north of the sea, blocking the sea on three sides, people live on the island, mostly in the water, and making a living by fishing. He also said that he does not know where to lose. No, you see

, The north is the extreme, and it lacks sunlight all year round, and it is extremely cold, making it difficult for people to survive. But from summer to Liugui, you can prepare thick cold clothes from the Liugui tribe, and use the sled to go to this strait in winter. Cross the strait, and it is the American continent. I still warn that in winter, there is no sunshine here, it is dark, and it is extremely cold, and it is extremely cold. If you want to go, go back again. Even if you prepare well, you can return less than one ten times."

The Liugui tribe is an indigenous person living in the Kamchatka Peninsula, not far from the Arctic and Bering Straits.

Although there will be a lot of deaths, they are all feasible now. Unlike sailing, Li Wei has no confidence. Li Wei has never taken action. Even if North and South America find that it has not made much contribution to the country, it is either miscellaneous grains, but these miscellaneous grains are in South America. With their current companions, they are sent out to send a few people. Without a guide, some fierce Indian races may not be able to reach South America.

Speaking out just increases the persuasiveness of my own statement, and said, "So, I didn't say anything about today."

Zheng's father left in a suspicious manner.

The next day, Li Wei wandered around in Xingyang.

This is a very ancient city with the convenience of the Yellow River and is close to Luoyang. The business atmosphere is very prosperous. Li Wei asked by the way. He actually found that most of the shops in the city were opened by the Zheng family. Of course, he was ashamed of profit, and business matters were mostly disciples of the Zheng family's outer church or concubine's son.

It soon became dark, and Zheng's father invited Li Wei to the room again.

This time, Li Wei was not anxious. He looked at the rack and said, "Weng Zheng, your family has a lot of treasures. Some of them don't have one. Can you lend them to the court to copy them and complement each other?"

It was expensive in the past few years, so how much a family hides is also wealth.

Most families cherish their own treasures and refuse to publish these rare books and rare books, which is also the reason why many people disappeared after the war.

But Li Wei's intention is not that. Whether he can give up his homeland is also an attitude.

This attitude also destined to be happy to have a conversation tonight.

Zheng's father hesitated for a moment and said, "If your Majesty wants, you can invite someone to come and move to Dongdu, but after copying, you will return it."

"That's right, it's a borrowing, it won't borrow but it won't return it. This move will also be a contribution to the country, and I won't borrow it for nothing. If this happens, I will summon more than a dozen disciples of your Zheng family to study in the Imperial College."

It doesn’t matter whether the Zheng family values ​​it. This is another attitude. As long as you are willing to give, I will be rewarded.

From then on, he started to reconvene, and sat down and said, "We have never been evil to the court."

"Mr. Zheng, this is wrong. It is not that you don't hate it, but that you are not qualified to talk about it. Your families have a rigorous family style and a strong academic atmosphere. There are many great scholars who have learned a lot. You should know the relationship between the monarch and minister, father and son, and husband and wife of Confucianism. The country is the monarch, and your family is the minister, just like a father and son. How dare you be unfilial if your father does not hate his son? Even if your father hates his son, can he be unfilial?"

Zheng's father was speechless again.

But Li Wei took the initiative to ease his tone and said, "The king is like a father, and the minister is like a son. Our dynasty has a vast territory and a large population, which means that there are dozens of sons in the family. Those who are fathers will have preferences, but I am different. Try to give everyone an equal opportunity. You will also have preferences based on their talents, filial piety, and moral character."

There are all talents and virtues, and the five surnames and seven families, but this "filial piety" is very problematic.

Why is Li Shimin a broad mind? However, as a minister, the five surnames and seven families want to overtake the orthodox emperor, how can Li Shimin feel comfortable?

His tone slowed down, but it was still soft and hard, and he said, "I know, my family has the blood of Hu people, but why not? Since the Empress Dowager, my family has always regarded Han people as the empress and empress dowager, and has been diluted from generation to generation. How many Hu people are in the end? Besides, Dayu decided to determine Jiuzhou and how many people in Jiuzhou are people in the Central Plains, but what about now? Could it be that you say that the overseas Chinese in Jiangnan should be a barbarian? Why did you marry a daughter and a royal family with the Wei family when your surnames were not at its peak? Or ask again, among your surnames, there really is no Hu people's blood since ancient times?"

It is difficult to distinguish or explain this topic in normal times. But after closing the door, he and Zheng’s father were able to speak out this issue unscrupulously.

"Or it is a good thing that your family style is rigorous, but it can also be said to be conservative and arrogant! Our dynasty has a vast territory, not only people from the Central Plains, but also many Hu people. However, since Emperor Gaozu, the focus has been on the Central Plains, and he is only restrained against the Hu people, and even some methods are very cruel. Can you clearly state that the Hu people are not in our tribe? So how can the country rule? That's right. My family has the Hu people's blood and a bold style, including me. Although I have read etiquette since I was a child, I never acted in a minor matter. This is not ashamed of your big families, but have you ever thought about how to be enterprising and tolerant without such an open style, and how to govern this huge empire?"

Just to distinguish, the following is what he wants to say: "Your families think they are tall and noble, and they must be superior to ordinary people.

I am very worried that the overseas Chinese in Jiangnan is no longer prosperous. Once you annex too many resources, the country has no taxes to collect, the people have no land to cultivate, no food to eat, and no clothes to wear, then once there are people like Chen Sheng and Zhang Jiao, my family will be the first to be affected and will disappear in the long river of history like Liu Cao and Sima. But what about your big families? Will they also become the key targets of those thugs? The Sui and Tang Dynasties have changed, some famous families have disappeared or are weak, and there is another riot, how many big families will be left? Don’t tell you that some tribes in Xingyang moved to Jiangnan, not to avoid war, but to have fun before moving. This is also a tolerant heart. Don’t look down on the common people, so that the common people will not hate you. Don’t be arrogant to the court, so that the court will tolerate you."

"Your Majesty, what do you want our Zheng family to do?" Zheng's father was forced by Li Wei, and he felt a little uncomfortable and asked hoarsely.

"Next year, the national imperial examination will not have imperial examinations for several years. This imperial examination will be accepted for a large number of Jinshi. I hope to see dozens of disciples from your family enter the examination room..." This is a condition and an opportunity. I also said: "The annexation is not your big families, the common people, the children of powerful people and meritorious families from all over the country, and the major families are annexing. But your five surnames and seven families are the best. I hope you will stop and annex and release usury to destroy the people, and another way."

“What’s the way?”

"I told overseas that maritime commerce will not be opened in the future. However, for your big families, or for the sake of your family, I will not let them go. After all, many ministers will impeach me. Therefore, I hope you contact some other Wangmen and give me some special orders in the dictionary. Make an exception next year and release it again, not only once, but also try to give you more magnanimous measures in weapons and the number of people going to sea. Of course, for the reputation of your family, your family does not have to come forward, and still have the bad reputation as before, let me bear it."

Mr. Zheng's face turned red.

"Although it is a requirement, it is also for your sake. The richest areas in the country are undoubtedly Guanzhong and the lower reaches of the Yellow River, the Bian River Grand Canal and the southeastern Jiangnan area, but this is also the most concentrated area in the country. Don't stare at this place, I am very disgusted. Overseas, there is a large amount of arable land waiting for you to cultivate, and the wealth brought by sea transportation. This is a win-win situation."

"This matter is important and I can't decide."

"I don't have to hurry, I can wait slowly. This year won't work, next year won't work, next year won't work, the year after tomorrow. But I must give the poor a chance to survive, otherwise I will be very worried if it continues to develop."

From yesterday to today's conversation, Li Wei was very tough. However, the requirements were not very high, and he did not ask the Zheng family to go to Dongdu immediately and express his loyalty to the court. In that case, these big families would not agree even if they wanted to save face.

Li Wei didn't care much about the face, but what he cared about the most was the annexation.

Annexation was the biggest problem of the Tang Dynasty, and it led to many consequences. For example, there were no civilians in the court who could collect taxes, resulting in uneven tax distribution and a large number of fugitive households. There was no land to be granted, and the government system gradually collapsed and its combat effectiveness decreased.

The more stable the country is, the more surnames you face, the more serious this phenomenon will be.

If the five surnames and seven families will lead the lead, they can play a good role model.

Or there is another road, which is to relax business like the Song Dynasty, but if that is done, it will be more controversial. In fact, it is already done. The emergence of Haishi is equivalent to encouraging business development, but it cannot be stated explicitly. In fact, all the wealthy families have shifted their vision to business, and annexed them will not become the focus.

This requires another five surnames and seven families to take the lead.

As for whether the previous sect sent disciples to the imperial examination in the capital, Li Wei didn't care much.

Li Wei mentioned this when he ascended the throne, but he couldn't figure out the attitudes of these clans, which were very stimulating. He would not mention them later. Of course, these clans also keenly realized that the new emperor was not satisfied with the annexation trend, so the Zheng family invited Li Wei to come.

It is hard to say if we don’t meet each other. When we meet, we can explain each other. Li Wei also happily went there. In order to get the ancestor of the Zheng family to agree, he has been high-profile since yesterday, and then he is arrogant and light, explaining his emotions and moving them with reason.

After Zheng's father finished speaking, he let out a long and relaxed. The request was not easy, but it was not very difficult. He still said: "I don't agree with the annexation either. Unfortunately, the population is increasing, and there is no land or food. People in the family have always been worried."

"I said yesterday that I was looking for land for this trip and trying to create more arable land. Not only did I try to increase arable land in the Central Plains, but I also tried to increase the yield and the types of crops, and also expanded the land on the border to encourage expansion overseas. Moreover, if your children made contributions in the court and increased the fields, there would definitely be some land seals in the future. "But Zheng's father would not be moved. At this time, due to the historical limitations of several years, from high-ranking officials and powerful people to ordinary people, his desire for fields is far beyond what future generations can understand. As Li Wei said, in that case, the people in the family will inevitably be divided and do not form a group, and the influence of the family will inevitably decline. Therefore, Li Wei said: "The other is the wealth brought by the sea city, not only sea ships, but also various commodities brought by sea ships. These commodities come from major workshops in China."

After all this, Li Wei stood up and wanted to leave.

Zheng's father pulled him down and said, "Your Majesty, I have another word. A few days ago, my second son and his daughter returned to the Cui family. He was my ninth granddaughter."

The show is here.

"This woman looks the first in the Zheng family, and has no engagement. She has read poetry since she was a child, and she understands the beauty of the woman. She has a virtuous, virtuous and gentle manners. I secretly found His Majesty's horoscope to join the divination with her granddaughter, which is a good match..."

If you don’t bow your head, just bow your head. After all the cooperation in the future, this marriage is very important to the Zheng family.

"You don't joke, my most objection to marriage. But if your Zheng family has greater interest in the sea, I would rather take photos and combine them with a good media."

"Who is it?"

"You have seen this person. He came with me. He was the famous good merchant Liang Jinzhu. He has a young son, good moral character, has studied many books since childhood, and has knowledge..."
