For Ganqi, there is obviously a force in society that opposes him.

However, the court looked harmonious because Gan Qi was too powerful now. He was the emperor's uncle, the emperor's teacher, and the great achievements of his own position as prime minister.

Another more important point is that there are not factions in the court. At least there are two factions: conservatives and radicals. The representatives of the two factions are naturally Sima Guang and Wang Anshi, but the representatives of these two factions are actually based on Gan Qima.

This leads to such a harmonious scene in the court today. But a harmonious court does not mean that no one has any opinions about Gan Qi. It’s just that these people with opinions have more concerns and will not easily break this harmony.

Gan Qi simply thought that as long as he took the initiative to promote and educate, he would establish a relatively advanced national concept for the people of the Song Dynasty.

In reality, Confucian orthodox, Central Plains dynasty, and Han bloodlines have already established an unparalleled advantage of cultural confidence. The barbarians and barbarians are enemies of the Central Plains dynasty for thousands of years. No matter how the opponents change, this thousand-year hatred is really a hundred and eight thousand miles with the unity that Gan Qi said.

But Ganqi must do this again. If this country really wants to obtain permanent peace on the vast land of East Asia, it must resolve the issue of ethnic conflicts.

This world is big, with more nations and more enemies outside, and we cannot completely get together this acre of three parts. In the long river of future, there will be endless troubles.

As long as the people of East Asia are united, accepted the immersion and assimilation of Chinese culture, and accepted the gene of China's unification, this land will always remain competitive in the long river of future time.

Some problems, Gan Qi repeatedly thought about them dialectically. When the Han family in the Central Plains dynasty had an absolute advantage in the blood culture of the Han family, if they wanted to unite internally, the key to solving this problem was not whether other nations could accept the Han family, but whether the Han family could truly accept them.

One more thing is that there is no real religion to influence these problems at this time, and the crux of the problem is whether the Han people can abandon prejudice and accept others.

This is where Ganqi’s real pattern as a ruler lies.

When Gan Qi suddenly threw out the issue of national unity directly, the first reaction of these orthodox Confucian scholars was to oppose it, and the opposition was extremely loud.

Gan Qi could also feel the intensity of this opposition. In fact, Gan Qi could also understand that these things have been engraved in the bones of the thousand-year-old Celestial Kingdom and the thousand-year-old national war. It is obviously impossible to turn them around in a moment.

How to solve it?

The people who discussed these matters with Gan Qi were still Wang Anshi and Sima Guang.

These two people are already in high positions and have already had a certain level of insight and pattern, but they still cannot keep up with their thoughts.

Sima Guang was particularly frustrated and said to Gan Qi in the living room of Gan Qi's house: "My husband, my uncle can understand what my husband thinks is for tens of millions of years, but this is the matter... It's like there are two neighbors who are trying hard yesterday with a knife. Today, it's like asking them to be close to each other as a family. It's really difficult to do it slowly."

In fact, Sima Guang's words were already very tactful. Obviously, he couldn't accept such things quickly in his heart. He talked to someone who eats raw meat and drinks blood. How about this? How difficult is it to talk to a savage who has no words?

Wang Anshi did not object so much. He said: "If my husband really wants peace for generations, he should first let these foreigners accept the control of our Song Dynasty, and not rebel or chaos. This will be easier to educate. After several generations, it may be successful."

Gan Qi stroked his beard and probably guessed it in his heart. Obviously, many people in the court did not agree with some of Gan Qi's statements, such as the statement about relatives with the Jurchens. They thought this was nonsense and even felt that it was a lack of identity and integrity. Therefore, many people had discussed it in private, so Sima Guang and Wang Anshi were asked to discuss this issue with Gan Qi in a tactful way.

Gan Qi frowned and thought that national issues, in which era, are difficult issues, and are often taboo issues, and cannot be directly mentioned.

Because, most of the time, this problem is somewhat unsolvable.

However, this problem is now a great opportunity. If you don’t solve it at this time, it will become increasingly difficult to solve in the future, and even mix with various complex situations, making the problem even more difficult.

At this time, Gan Qi remembered a theory that many internal problems cannot be solved and can be solved by external means.

What means?

The most direct method is war.

The purpose of launching a war is very simple, which is to let people know that there are more nations in this world, with different looks and unable to communicate, and even those who eat raw meat and drink blood more than the Jurchens, and those who live further than the nations around them.

There are even many people whose ideological logic is something that the Chinese cannot even understand.

In this way, perhaps the people around you who have been dealing with the Han family for many years look less savage and backward, and they look more similar to the Han people, and they seem to have some blood relationship.

At least compared to the Khitan Dangxiang Jurchens are really closer to the Han family.

Gan Qi has always been a cruel person.

So Gan Qi suddenly said a word without any end: "I received the news in front of me that Li Xian was back. After staying in Hangzhou for a while, Li Xian entered Beijing."

Sima Guang and Wang Anshi were stunned when they heard this, and looked at each other, not knowing what Mr. Gan wanted to say.

I heard Mr. Gan continue to say: "When Li Xian comes back, he will have a naval ambition. From the Song Dynasty to the west, the sea routes along the way should be clear. Luzon Java and other places are all good food production land. There is a vast subcontinent to the west of the city, which is also a fertile land. There is a place where the extremely black people are located, and there is a vast plain and fertile land thousands of miles. These places can support tens of thousands of people. This is a big event, as a plan!"

The place where Ganqi mentioned was the Philippines, Malaysia and even Indonesia in later generations, followed by the Indian subcontinent, and then Africa.

In short, these places have fertile land and no powerful civilized forces are available.

colonial!

Let the world see what is incommunication, what is eating raw meat and drinking blood, what is real barbarians, and what is knowing what is close and close relationships.

First, let people go to sea on a large scale, and within a few years, people can see the world, even if they go to sea to build farms and manors, they can make money. Indian blacks and African blacks will appear in the Song Dynasty as a strange sight, so that people will no longer have to worry about their grudges in their own acres.

Nowadays, there are countless ethnic groups, not only the north and the northwest, but also the vast southern ethnic minorities. With people farther and more outward, there will naturally be people closer and closer.

War must continue, but cannot be stopped. War is a shortcut to social progress, and war will always be accompanied by the great development of science and technology.

Therefore, the war must not be stopped. There is even a Dali Kingdom in the southwest that is not often mentioned by people, and the army should also drive there.

Wang Anshi and Sima Guang didn't know what Gan Qi was thinking. They just heard that Gan Qi treated overseas as a big thing and had to make plans. They actually opposed it.

Sima Guang spoke first: "Mr. Gan, my Song Dynasty is already a unique feature, so why should I take risks?"

Gan Qi shook his head: "I am a great person in Song Dynasty, but the population has exceeded 100 million. If the population continues like this, there will inevitably be no land to raise. How can we not make plans earlier? Sending people out is just to occupy the land. First occupy the land, then farm with barbarians and transport the harvest back. This is the way to support the people in the future. Otherwise, once there are many people and few lands, there will inevitably be chaos. If you want to have a foundation for generations, you cannot always be conservative. You should be pioneering and enterprising and have a profound plan."

Wang Anshi frowned. He didn't know whether to say anything or not. The general meaning was: he had not figured out the things on his land yet, and there were so many projects that had not been done. Now there is no need to cause trouble. So that the people can truly live and work in peace, it would not be too late to do anything else.

But Wang Anshi didn't say it immediately, just frowned. He had a mess and was short of money everywhere, so he really didn't want to do these things. However, when Gan Xianggong was in front of him, he always had a one-man show. Wang Anshi knew that it would be useless to say more, so he could only see if Sima Guang could have a role. Anyway, what Sima Guang wanted to say was what he wanted to say.

Sima Guang of course also said: "My husband, now the court is united, opening rivers, digging ditches, building roads, and setting up mines. Everything is the top priority. This is the matter of sending people to sea..."

"We must not only send people, but also send a lot of people, and also join forces with large merchants, especially wealthy families in Fujian, Guangdong and Guangxi. Many of them are willing to go out to sea, unite and go out to sea together. This matter is decided, and we must do it. The Political Affairs Hall issued a charter, promoted Shen Kuo to the Minister of Works, and presided over the matter of making cannons. We must carry the cannons on board the ship. We must do things quickly. If we have no money, we can borrow money from the bank and borrow special loans. We can only wait for the monsoon season and set off immediately!"

Gan Qi's tone was firm and his face was serious. He didn't say anything in front of these two people. This sentence was too naked. Gan Qi was preparing to let people go out to sea, not only occupy territory, but to grab it. Where to grab it? It mainly robs the Indian subcontinent. There is no major force here, but it has civilization. To put it bluntly, there are valuable things, such as gold and silver.

Gan Qi will not tell this to the two husbands, but he will tell the soldiers to listen to them. If they want money, they must take effect quickly. If it goes well, they can also get ashore from Persia and from the Arabian Peninsula next time. These places are more prosperous and some are valuables. It is okay to snatch them along the way and then grab the north shore of the Mediterranean.

Damn it, I carried the cannon to rob it anyway. After a few years, Shen Kuo will study it carefully and carry the musket to rob it.

Isn’t it just a shortage of money? This will take effect quickly and you can grab it once a year.

Gan Qi's ruthlessness is beyond the imagination of his two husbands.

Wang Anshi didn't want to speak at all. Sima Guang still wanted to speak, but saw Gan Qi wave his hand: "Go and prepare quickly."

Wang Anshi and Sima Guang looked at each other and left Gan Qi's house, but they stopped at the door at the same time.

Wang Anshi wanted to speak but stopped, but Sima Guang said bluntly: "Mr. Gan is now...ah... I don't know what Mr. Gan is thinking recently..."

"Yes, since Mr. Gan came back from Linhuang Mansion, he always felt that he had become a little different, which is really hard to understand." Wang Anshi continued Sima Guang's words.

Then the two got into the same carriage, and in the carriage, they started chatting again.

"There are many things to build bridges, roads and mines, which are all things that benefit the country and the people, just to make the people live and work in peace and contentment. But what's the use of spending manpower and material resources to go to sea? Do you really go to farm and harvest grains 108,000 miles away?" Sima Guang obviously still doesn't agree with Gan Qi's words.

Wang Anshi only said one sentence: "It takes money and borrow money. I don't know if I can earn back the capital. I don't know how much land I have to plant to earn back the capital to go abroad."

Sima Guang was silent for a moment, and suddenly said, "Please, Wang Xiang, do you think... should we ask His Majesty what he meant in this matter?"

Wang Anshi did not answer. Because Sima Guang had a meaning in his words, that was, he wanted the emperor to fight against Gan Qi and let the emperor stop Gan Qi from doing these things, so Wang Anshi did not speak and he was unwilling to express his opinion on this matter.

Seeing that Wang Anshi didn't speak, Sima Guang was a little angry and said, "Wang Jiefu, we are working for the country, and we must consider everything for the country. Gan Xianggong is naturally the person with far-sightedness. He has never made any mistakes in his past behavior, but he cannot guarantee that he will have no mistakes in his life. You and I are important officials of the country, how can we not distinguish right from wrong?"

"Sima Junshi, do you think about the consequences?" Wang Anshi said this, necessarily thinking about the consequences.

"What consequences?" Sima Guang asked.

"Now the great situation where the whole country is united, do you really want to create a gap between the king and the minister?" This is what Wang Anshi said. He moved out of the emperor and Gan Qi to fight. Once this kind of thing starts, the consequences can be big or small. Once the consequences become big, something big will really happen.

"All nonsense is for the country, so where does the monarch and minister have a gap? You are loyal to your parents, and the sun and the moon can be seen. Your Majesty is even more reasonable. Things are just things, just right and wrong. Where can there be any consequences?" Sima Guang obviously does not agree with Wang Anshi's fallacies and evil sayings.

"The prosperity of your kindness means one's heart. Once your kindness changes, the whole court will be in turmoil. Everything in the court is only in the thought of your kindness. If Your Majesty fights with the Prime Minister, how do people in the world view Ganxiang? How can Ganxiang sit upright in the court? How can civil and military officials choose sides to stand? After standing, how can they be united?" Wang Anshi really saw through the essence of the matter.

Sima Guang looked at Wang Anshi after hearing this.

Wang Anshi said again: "It's only hundreds of thousands of guan, so what if you let Gan Xianggong squander it? Let's go as he wants!"

When Sima Guang heard this, he seemed to be temporarily convinced. He went out to sea and thought it would be a hundred guan. Rong Gan Xianggong was willful for a moment... It seemed reasonable.

However, neither of them expected that this time going to sea would be a matter of hundreds of thousands of qian coins. The fleet that Gan Xianggong wanted to form was as many as 40,000 soldiers alone, and even horses and cavalry. He wanted to collect all the large and small ships that could go to sea, and brought all the wealthy coastal families who were willing to go to sea, bring food, grass, arms, cannons, and gunpowder and projectiles.

You have to follow the sea routes and coasts, occupy land, grab money, and grab people.
