Daming: I really don’t want to be an emperor!

Zhu Yunhuan pointed at these places on the map and said, "First, we should take over these places, and then use five years to develop the economy and stabilize the basic situation. Do you think this is feasible?"

"Your Majesty is right to worry. Wars are fought with logistics. Blindly expanding territory will only lead to the demise of the Ming Dynasty because the logistics cannot afford it and the country will be in chaos.

With the promotion of potatoes and sweet potatoes, coupled with the national policy of equalizing the land tax promoted by Your Majesty, and the development of the Tianshan Mountains for horse grazing, the national strength of the Ming Dynasty can reach its peak in five years.

Moreover, Your Majesty has to start training the second generation of military commanders. After all, the Duke of Liang, the Duke of Xin, and the Duke of Song are already old, and Your Majesty must avoid a lack of successors."

Wang Chunsan listened to Zhu Yunhuan's words and didn't think there was anything wrong with it.

If the overall national strength is not improved, expanding territory will become a burden.

"Who do you think is the new director of the arsenal? The artillery cannot stop. Within five years, I want the entire Ming army to be equipped with artillery."

Zhu Yunxun asked.

Wang Chunsan replied, "Mohism."

When it comes to research, it is most appropriate to ask Mohist school to do it.

And who knows, maybe they can come up with some innovations.

Zhu Yunhuan hummed, "Then go find them. The Mohists have already entered the society, let them serve as officials in the court."

"Your Majesty, what I meant was to let them make cannons, not to let them be officials. They cannot be officials, otherwise the Mohist school will surely grow stronger. The Mohist school's doctrine is a bit outrageous." Wang Chunsan reminded.

Zhu Yunhuan waved his hands, "I know that existence is reasonable. I can tolerate the continued existence of Confucianism, so why can't I tolerate Mohism?"

The ideas of Mohism were a bit ahead of their time, and were considered as treasonous by the ancients, so there was no possibility that Mohism would be established as a state religion.

"Yes." Wang Chunsan accepted the order.

"The cabinet should discuss how to divide the territories of the Jurchens, Mongols and Japanese and what system to establish. Then report to me. Go ahead." Zhu Yunhuan ordered.

"I obey your order and take my leave." Wang Chunsan accepted the order and left.

Zhu Yunhuan caressed the territory outside the Ming Dynasty.

"Oh, oh, oh, it's all oh! Unity, unity, we must unify!"

These places must all belong to us.

"Your Majesty, Jinyiwei Commander Jiang Li has been waiting outside for a long time." Hao Youqian reported.

Zhu Yunhuan turned around and asked, "Why is he here again?"

"I don't know. When he came, he heard that Your Majesty and Lord Wang were discussing matters, so he waited outside." Hao Youqian replied.

Zhu Yunxun hummed, "Go ahead."

Zhu Yunhuan came over with the memorial and sat down, and Jiang Lin was also brought in.

"I am Jiang Li, the commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guard, and I respectfully wish Your Majesty the best." Jiang Li came in, knelt down and shouted.

Zhu Yunxun gave him a false helping, "Zhen'an, please stand up. Why did you come here at this time?"

"Your Majesty, this is the plan I have drawn up against Buddhism. I have come to ask for your approval on whether it can be carried out." Jiang Lin took out a memorial from his sleeve and handed it to Zhu Yunhuan.

Hearing this, Jiang Li silently took out some cotton and stuffed it into his ears.

Oh my god, what are you doing?

After dealing with Confucianism, now we are dealing with Buddhism?

Can't hear, can't hear, I can't hear.

Zhu Yunhuan took the memorial with some surprise, "You have a plan so soon?"

"I will do my best to follow your majesty's orders. If I can't improve my efficiency, I might as well not do it! I'm not like some people who are lazy and procrastinate." Jiang Lin said, and did not forget to complain about the Anti-Corruption Bureau.

Zhu Yunhuan knew that the Northern Pacification Division and the Embroidered Uniform Guard were constantly fighting openly and secretly, and this was exactly what Zhu Yunhuan wanted to see.

There is motivation only when there is pressure.

But now, the efficiency of the Anti-Corruption Bureau has not been improved.

Instead, the Jinyiwei took action.

"Using the death of Prince Gu and some of the dirty deeds done by Buddhism, the court will publicize it through the Daming Daily and use this as a starting point to abolish all the privileges of Buddhism first?" Zhu Yunheng was a little shocked when he looked at Jiang Lin's initial plan.

How dare Jiang Li make a fuss about Zhu Tan’s death?

"That's right. We will then publicize the discovery of the collusion between Prince Gu and the Buddhist sect, and then the Royal Guards will be dispatched to investigate all Buddhist temples in the capital. We will then publish the story in the Ming Daily. With irrefutable evidence, we will abolish the Buddhist sect's privileges. As long as the impact is great enough, a large number of people will return to secular life, further weakening the Buddhist sect."

Zhu Yunxun hummed, "What's next?"

"Next, we need to promote Taoism, build Taoist temples, and forcefully drag Taoism into the game. We can use Taoism to counter Buddhism and start a dispute between Buddhism and Taoism."

Jiang Li replied.

Zhu Yunxun shook his head, "This fight is not that easy to start."

"Your Majesty sent Liu Sanwu to find the Taoists. Isn't that already a plan? Use support for Buddhism to stimulate the Taoists. I think if this spark is to spread like wildfire, the court needs to add fuel to the fire. It must fan the flames on both sides. It is not enough to stimulate only one side."

Jiang Li said with a cupped hand.

Zhu Yunxun laughed, "The Taoists are stimulated, so how do you stimulate the Buddhists?"

"The Dao was spread to the West, and the Dao was spread to India."
