More than half of the ministers below put their ears up high, intending to clear up their doubts.

The eldest prince also lived up to the expectations of the public, and told about some things he knew about foreign colonies.Those who can stand in the court are all smart people. After hearing what the First Prince said, and thinking about it again, they probably know what the First Prince is planning.The Ministry of War and those military officers were probably still happy in their hearts, and some even looked forward to the arrival of this matter after realizing what the First Prince meant.

In fact, there is no need to think about it. The world has been at peace for a long time, and now there are only some minor disturbances at the border.Military officers are mostly promoted by military merit, without credit, how can they get promoted and get rich.

Of course, some military officials have far-sightedness and lead their children to the road of imperial examinations.But it’s not enough to be farsighted, and there are still descendants to strive for success.Originally, military officials' families did not have the confidence of civil officials in the imperial examination, but they were better than poor families.

Now that I have this opportunity to make contributions, I naturally have to seize it tightly.From what the First Prince said, he knew that the time it would take would not be too short, so that he could bring out a few of his own children and let the family continue for one generation.As for the next generation, let's talk about the next generation.Even if you still fail to pass the imperial examination, those colonies still need to be guarded.At that time, I will buy more strength when I am fighting, so that I can talk about it when I get credit.

The military officer supported the First Prince's proposal in his heart, but it was not that simple for the civil officer.First of all, no matter what kind of person a civil official is, what he accepts is Confucianism.No matter how mercenary he is in his heart, he can't express these things openly.After all, setting up colonies in places like overseas, without thinking about it, is against morality, and it is also against what I have learned since childhood.

As soon as the voice of the eldest prince fell, a civil official stood up and said in an excited tone: "Your Majesty, the eldest prince must not do this! Our country has always been a state of etiquette, how can we do such an act? What does this have to do with robbers?" The difference. If you do such an act, then what is the difference with those barbarians overseas."

Then a group of people stood up and said, "Second ministers!"

"My minister agrees!"

"My minister agrees!"

"My minister agrees!"

,,,,,,,,,

The two groups of the military officer and the civil official were not at odds with each other, and seeing that the civil official wanted to use such a reason to cut off Qingyun Road on his side, how could the military officer be happy.Moreover, the confidants on the side of the First Prince and the Crown Prince know what the First Prince and the Crown Prince want to do, and they also support it.How can this group of pedantic civil servants dismiss the matter in a few words, if it is not established now, it will not be easy to say in the future.

The Minister of the Ministry of War stood up and said loudly: "Your Majesty, I believe that we should also go overseas to occupy a piece of land. Other overseas countries have done this. If we don't do this, aren't we falling behind? Occupying a piece of land overseas, we can also keep abreast of some situations in overseas countries.”

"That is, if those overseas countries have any crooked ideas, we can also know as soon as possible, without affecting the citizens of our country." Another minister said.

When Yu Shilang from the Ministry of Rites heard this, he felt a little uncomfortable.Just now I heard that the First Prince also talked about some things in the colonies. The First Prince said that some overseas countries are fighting wars, and they don't fight on their own country's land at all.Instead, go to those colonies to fight, so that you won't cause too much loss to your country.

Yu Shilang from the Ministry of Rites thought to himself that he could tell from what the guy in the Ministry of War said, that he meant that if there was anything unusual about those overseas countries.The place where the war is fought should be arranged on the colony as much as possible, so that it will not have much impact on the people of our country.

But are people from other countries not human beings?How can you do this? It's immoral.Sure enough, those reckless men just don't know much about etiquette, let's see what they are talking about.Thinking of this, Yu Shilang stood up and refuted what the minister said.

In this way, some more pedantic ministers and some more irritable military officers began to quarrel with each other in the court.Gradually, everyone's temper also came up, the original restraint disappeared, and it was as chaotic as a vegetable market.

Seeing that the officials below were arguing more violently, their superiors couldn't sit still.It didn't take long for everyone in the court to participate.Because the eldest prince and the crown prince had already made preparations, the other side gradually lost ground.

The prince saw a few civil servants below who were particularly agitated, as if they were agitated by those military officers, and they would hit the pillars in the court hall to learn from them on the spot.

The prince knew it was time to speak, so he coughed loudly.But the tragedy is that few people below noticed the prince's voice.Seeing the hidden smiles of the brothers beside him, the prince's face darkened on the spot.

The emperor looked at the expression on the prince's face, and the people below were really making a fuss.He signaled Manager Yu to stop and stop them all.

After the ministers below all stood in their positions, they tidied up their appearance a little bit.Seeing that the mood had calmed down a bit, the emperor said sharply, "What do you look like? Do you think you are that? The vegetable market?"

Then the emperor looked at the prince and said in a moderate tone, "Does the prince have anything to say?"

The prince stood up and saluted, and then said: "Actually, I think you have misunderstood the emperor brother. The emperor brother never said that he would go outside to occupy the colony."

Hearing the prince's words, if the ministers below knew the modern vocabulary, the words "hehe" must have appeared in their hearts.The prince is making everyone stupid. If the eldest prince didn't mean it, why bother to say this in front of the courtiers.Could it be that you simply think this matter is interesting and come to the court to talk about it?Then why didn't the first prince stop when he saw us start arguing, saying that he didn't mean that.

People who originally disapproved of this matter thought, if those people hadn't known about this matter long ago, how could our side have retreated so easily.Those who know are wondering what the prince is thinking.So no one stepped forward to interrupt the prince, wondering what the prince would say.

The eldest prince didn't interrupt the prince either, the eldest prince knew about the prince.Moreover, the movements of the prince these days are not fake, and the prince even staged such a scene in front of his father, the eldest prince wants to know what the prince is up to now.

"Brother Huang just feels that the people who were originally colonized are very pitiful, and wants to send troops to help them." Then the prince told the evil deeds of the colonists he knew in the colony, which aroused a lot of emotion from the ministers below. resonance.Many ministers felt that the life of the colonized people was too miserable. Of course, some of them were unmoved and their minds were not diverted by the prince.

"Of course, helping those people is one aspect. The other aspect is to promote the reputation of our country. After all, there are still many people overseas who don't know the reputation of our country. If they knew, they should be ashamed when they were colonized. I will ask our country for help." The prince paused, and then said: "Furthermore, most of the people in the colonies have never been educated. If you can simply educate them, that would be a merit."

As soon as the prince's words fell, some ministers agreed.The general meaning is to support this matter, saying that it can not only promote the prestige of our country, but also have the merits of enlightenment.It focuses on the merit of this enlightenment, saying that this merit can be compared to sages.

Of course, in the eyes of discerning people, this is the most naked threat.Judging from the meaning of the royal family, it is clear that the matter of the expedition cannot be changed, plus the contribution of enlightenment mentioned by the prince.Doesn't this mean that whoever is disobedient will be thrown to the colony to educate the people?

Even if the colony is free, no matter how big the official position is.Few officials wanted to go. In their hearts, the colony was comparable to a dragon's pond and a tiger's den.Even if it is relegated to the bitter cold of the country, it is better than going to the colonies.

And now that the country has discovered so many new minerals, there is no need to worry about money.Of course, some people wanted to struggle to the death, so they asked about the issue of food and grass.There is a saying that goes, "The food and grass go first before the three soldiers move." ' Said that although our country has a lot of grain and grass in the Jiangnan area, natural disasters have been frequent in recent years, and the country has not saved much grain and grass at all.

On the spot, the confidantes of the crown prince and the eldest prince went back. It is not possible to start fighting overseas in a short while.The army of this country is not very skilled in fighting at sea, even if there are skilled ones, the number is not enough.In addition, there are not many ships used for fighting at sea in the country, and work must be accelerated.So it will take at least a few years to start fighting, and during this time, we can save enough food and grass.

And there is also one thing that the prince's confidant said, that is, high-yielding crops such as sweet potatoes, corn and potatoes.In fact, these crops have been introduced to our country as early as the previous dynasty, but because of the inconvenience of transportation and some other reasons, they have not been popularized.After the minister said the yield of crops such as sweet potatoes, corn, and potatoes, and that they didn't pick places.After looking at the data and hearing some evidence, many ministers became excited.

The emperor saw that everything was here, so he said to the ministers below: "Okay, when you go down from the Ministry of Industry, you should submit a plan on promoting those crops as soon as possible. Come here!" The emperor stood up, Manager Yu hurried forward and said loudly, "Back to court~"
