Time flies, the sun and the moon are gone, and in the blink of an eye, it is seven years, this year, the territory of Daming has expanded to the extreme of the Ming Dynasty, this year, the tax of Daming has climbed to more than 6,000, this year, Daming has entered an unprecedented world.

At this time, the eldest son Zhu and the secondian are almost three years old, according to the practice of Mingming, three years old can be canonized as the crown prince.

Yongxing Emperor Zhu Cixiao and Shizong Jiajing Emperor Zhu Houxi so inexplicably, until the death did not set up the emperor's crown prince, nor did the divine universal emperor like to be so new, it is necessary to establish the three sons of Zhu Changxun as the crown prince, in the matter of the establishment of the crown prince, Zhu Cixi is quite positive, as early as the beginning of the year, he told the world, ready to book the eldest son Zhu.

By July, the eldest son of the emperor, Zhu He, was about to turn three years old, and the team that came to celebrate continued to pour into Beijing, and even Zhang Bin, the great teacher of the kingdom, who was far away in the slave Gandu Division, rushed back.

At this time, the slave has almost all been included in the control of the Ming, and the forehead of the Mongolian Yuan Er is slowly beginning to move closer to the Ming, as for the Luo Chao country, that is, the European Russia, Zhang Bin is only driving away the ranks of a few colonial explorers, and they have not encountered their regular army at all.

The affairs of the slave and the master of the master are nearing the end, and the four realms of Daming are almost already at peace, at this time, Daming can finally be assured and bold to open up the colony.

Before colonization begins, however, there are some things that must be made clear, such as how the benefits are distributed after the colony is laid down.

The main interests of this colony are of course belonging to the court, but it is not possible to belong to all the interests of the court, after all, going to thousands of miles or even tens of thousands of miles to explore the colony is not a very interesting thing, if there is no little interest, white work, I believe that everyone will not have much enthusiasm.

If no one is motivated, this colony is a bit of a joke, the European powers are to lay down the colony and even find the colony of explorers or generals have a heavy reward, if Daming does not have a little reward, who is willing to run for no reason thousands of miles or even tens of thousands of miles to explore.

Therefore, this benefit distribution or reward mechanism must be clearly defined.

Another, more important issue is his own retreat.

Is there only the end of the matter?

Zhang Bin has been thinking about this issue, as if through the dynasties, all the power of the courtiers who have no good end, even if the authorities themselves are fine, his descendants will be cleaned up, of course, except for those who seek to usurp the throne.

He did not want to seek usurpation, nor was he purged himself or his descendants, he just wanted to live well and let his children and grandchildren live a carefree life.

This seems to be very difficult, if other dynasties or other times of Daming, his wish is impossible to achieve, but now, the realization of this wish seems possible, because now the territory of Daming has become so terrible, and with the development of the colony, the territory of Daming will become larger and larger, such a big place, can not find a place to live?

He believes that as long as the pattern of Zhu Cixian is large enough, it is not difficult to achieve this wish.

After returning to Beijing this time, he still ran to the palace for the first time to visit his daughter and his grandson, but he was not in a hurry to find Zhu Cixiao, until the next morning ended, he came to the royal study.

At this time, Zhu Ciqi was not so busy before, and in the morning he usually sat in the royal study to read a book, learn to learn, or think about the way of governing the country, and in the afternoon, the performances of the cabinet ministries successively handed over part of his selective spot check.

He now has found out the experience, every day, he will not necessarily check a person's play, sometimes he will check one or two people, sometimes he will check some from everyone's approval of the twists and turns, sometimes he will pick some more important plays out to find someone to discuss, in short, now the cabinet university no one dares to engage in private fraud, because Zhu Cixi himself does not know who will draw the fold, they dare to guarantee that their own play will be drawn.

He realized more and more that the master had come up with this good thing for him, and with this method, he could not only control the government, but also did not have to be as busy as before, and even had most of the time to read and study, improve himself, and every night there was enough time to accompany the queen, the palaces, and their children, this day was moist, which was called the emperor.

He was sitting there looking at the book leisurely, and the little eunuch suddenly shrieked outside, "The great teacher and the country want to see."

Zhu Ciqi as always got up to meet, but also to help, but also to sit, all as a disciple, of course, Zhang Bin is not all as a master, should have the etiquette he still paid attention to, after the two sides saw the ceremony, Zhu Ciqi complained slightly: "Master, why didn't you come to see me yesterday?" 」

Zhang Bin smiled: "The emperor forgives, yesterday when Weichen arrived in Beijing, it was already afternoon, and it was generally the time for the emperor to approve the reading, and Weichen did not dare to come to disturb."

Zhu Cixi kindly said: "Master, don't see outside like this, I just want to check some of the beats, how much is actually nothing to do."

Zhang Bin heard the words, not to nod and praise: "The emperor's wisdom, has been deeply the essence of it."

Zhu Cihui said with a slight degree of accomplishment: "This is actually simple, as long as they can't touch the rules, no one dares to mess up."“Master, how’s the slave doing?”

Zhang Bin detailed report: "At this time, the railway has been repaired to full security, Liaodong Tuanwei is stepping up the construction of the new city on the former site of the former Department, it is estimated that the main body of the city will be completed this year, with the construction of the railway, the whole slave Gandu Division is expected to return to the control of Daming next year."

Zhu Cihui heard the words, not to caress the palm of his hand to praise: "It is very good, so that all the ancestors of the past have received me back, and Daming has finally ushered in an unprecedented world!"

Zhang Bin nodded and praised: "The emperor is wise and wise, and the future achievements will exceed the previous emperors."

Zhu Cihui heard the words, not embarrassed by the smile: "I am so powerful, all rely on the master's help, all rely on the master's help."

Zhang Bin shook his head: "Emperor, you are too self-humility, as the saying goes, there are thousands of horses in the world, but Bo Le does not often have, there is no emperor's eye to value, even if it is the thousands of horses can do."

This is obviously a part of the ass in it, but Zhu Ciqi has been accustomed to patting the ass, Zhang Bin so slightly shot, he did not feel that there is anything abnormal, on the contrary, he also felt very used, the master so praise himself, rare!

Zhang Bin so patted his ass naturally with a purpose, he looked at Zhu Cichlid's expression and immediately said: "Emperor, please forgive the little courteous to say, we can't rest with the status quo, after all, there are countless lands overseas, if we are not determined to compete, let other countries seize, develop, they will in turn hit our big idea."

Zhu Cichi nodded and said with humility: "The master said it is reasonable, then how should we compete, the master can have a final case?"

Zhang Bin naturally has long been a bamboo in his chest, and he did not hesitate to arch his hand: "Weather dare, and ask the emperor to take the latest map of the world."

Zhu Cizhi heard the words, did not care to get up from the shelf to pull out a new map of the world, spread on the desk, and then sincerely said: "Master please consult."

Zhang Bin is also ambiguous, he pointed to the map and taught: "The so-called far-distance close attack, like the European powers like the chaos of looting is not desirable, it is best to slowly expand from our surroundings slowly cannibalizing, and connect all the boundaries into one to ensure that there is no problem in the future."We thought that we would be the most appropriate for the expansion of the four, in the southeast direction, we can expand from the South to the Mughal Empire; in the northwest direction, we can expand from the slave Gandus to the Siberian Khanate, in the northeast direction; we can expand from the slave Gandus to the west coast of the Americas; in the southeast direction, we can expand from the old port government to the south."

Zhu Cixiao stared at the map and nodded: "Well, the master said it makes sense, like those European powers in the east and west to grab everywhere is really inconvenient jurisdiction, connecting all the boundaries into one is the best way to expand."

Zhang Bin secretly paid attention to Zhu Ciqi's expression and then asked, "Emperor, there is a problem I don't know if you have considered it, is there a corresponding reward for this development and expansion?"

Zhu Cihui heard the words, not from a pat on the forehead chagrin: "Oh, the master does not say that I really forgot, the work of opening up the territory is a great credit, this is not a reward, it is absurd, the master for the Ming to lay down so much territory, I have not yet rewarded it!"How can this be rewarded, the master is all in the kingdom, or to the master to seal a prince?"

Zhang Bin heard the words, the wrong point fainted, what prince, the bull's head is not against the horse's mouth.

He quickly hinted: "Emperor, the name of the king is not allowed, and this expansion of the territory is not a merit of a person, if the emperor feels that it should be rewarded, he can imitate the European powers to give part of the land and the colonies."

Zhu Cizhi heard the words, not from the curious: "Oh, how did the European powers reward?"

Zhang Bin explained in detail: "It is so, the emperor, the Continental powers, the count generally have feng shudders, and the terftains are generally on the frontier, so that they can add a layer of protection to the mainland, and the development of the territory will generally give part of the benefits of its development as a reward to encourage everyone to expand the territory."

Zhu Cichao thought about it, so suddenly he said, "Well, this practice is really good, Master, or I will announce the government and the ministry of Nanyang Cheng to you, how about?"

You don’t know how big the South is!

Zhang Bin hurriedly shook his head: "No, no, no, the emperor, too big, the micro-subject can't bear it, and the meritorious people who open the territory to expand the land are more than one, and each person gives the febelt of the state government at most, and who can reward a province!"

Zhu Ciqi did not hesitate to nod his head and said, "Well, Master, which state capital do you want, I will seal it to you."

This is not that he is too generous, mainly now hundreds of Daming state capital, sealed out one, he is really not very distressed.

Zhang Bin heard the words and hurriedly said: "Emperor, you should know that the hometown of Weichen is in Fuguang, and the micro-sun in the east for many years, it is quite familiar with it, if the emperor can seal the East to the micro-chen, the micro-sunier is grateful."

Zhu Ciqi did not hesitate to nod his head: "Well, then seal the Dongfan to the master, and others, this time just set up the prince, the meritorious ministers have been rewarded, just to ask for a double happy door, the head of the celebration of the same day."

Finally, at the suggestion of Zhang Bin, Zhu Ciqi this time canonized four other states, and each of them gave the fiefdom, and the four national communion were:

Zheng Zhilong, Zheng Guoguo, fictitious Nanyang Cheng, announced the old Hong Kong government of the Political and Generals Department;

Jin Guo Gong Yu Chenglong, the fictitious Nanyang Cheng announced the new Hong Kong government of the Department of Political Affairs;

Liaoguo Gonglu Xiangsheng, the southeast of the fidelity promised to announce the great palace of the Minister of Political Affairs;

The cool country's grandson passed the court, the fictitious Shaanxi city of Hamiwei;

Under this, we can destroy the other Yongxing Xun nobles, everyone is holding their efforts to expand the territory of Da Ming, and the territory of Daming continues to extend to the surrounding area, followed by Qi Yuangong, Cao Wenju, Mao Wenlong, etc. have been promoted to the national government, and they also have their own territos.

After Zhang Bin moved his family to Dongfan, he led the fleet to the west coast of the Americas and began a new journey.
