    Fang Congzhe, Liu Yishui, and Sun Chengzong were stunned at first, but then they all felt very funny. They naturally knew this explanation, but what they were worried about was that the overseas governors had too much power. If someone took advantage of their power, they would do something.  Wouldn¡¯t it be very troublesome to start your own business?

    Then Fang Congzhe said: "Your Majesty, I know this, and I believe Mr. Liu Ge and Mr. Sun also know it. But if the overseas governor has too much power, if someone has thoughts that they shouldn't have, even if the court can easily put them out,  That will also cost money, food, and time. I think it is better to nip it in the bud than to let such a disaster happen!"

    Liu Yishui and Sun Chengzong also agreed very much with Fang Congzhe's idea. Sun Chengzong said: "What Mr. Fang Ge said is very good. Instead of letting overseas governors breed ambitions because of their excessive power, it is better to directly eliminate ideas that should not be had. Therefore,  Sir, I ask your Majesty to think twice!"

    Liu Yishui was proficient in articles and classics, so he naturally knew the harm of this kind of thing, so he thought that what Fang Congzhe and Sun Chengzong said were right, and there was no need for him to add anything more, so he said directly: "The old minister thinks that Mr. Fang Ge and Mr. Sun  What you said is absolutely true, your Majesty, please think twice!¡±

    Although Zhu Youxiao faced the opposition of the three veterans, his face was calm and calm. He sat back at the desk and said with a smile: "Do you, the three dear friends, know the art of cultivating gu?"

    The three of them looked at each other, and finally shook their heads and said: "I don't know, my Majesty, please enlighten me!"

    Zhu Youxiao said: "The so-called breeding of poisonous insects is to put a group of poisonous insects together and let them kill each other and devour each other, and finally get the most powerful one. The reason why I delegate power to overseas governors actually has this meaning!"

    Fang Congzhe frowned and said: "But in this case, if the overseas governor is too powerful, wouldn't he want to backfire on the Ming Dynasty?"

    Zhu Youxiao chuckled and said: "Mr. Fang Ge believes that the strength of overseas governors will become stronger and stronger. Does it mean that the strength of the imperial court will stand still?"

    Sun Chengzong suddenly realized: "Is it possible that your Majesty treats the imperial court as a poison?"

    Zhu Youxiao nodded and said: "That's it. It is said to be born in danger and die in ease. Throughout the history of China, whether it is Xia, Shang, Zhou, Qin, Han, Tang, or Song, it is not true. Which of these dynasties rose up?  Isn¡¯t it true that the emperor is wise and the ministers are wise? But as time goes by, the imperial power is stable and the government orders are smooth, but gradually a large number of ignorant emperors and traitorous ministers are born, which eventually leads to the collapse of the dynasty! "

    Speaking of this, Zhu Youxiao glanced at the three people in front of him, and then said: "Isn't it the same for me, the Ming Dynasty? Back then, Emperor Taizu Gao ruled the world with his body of commoners, but more than two hundred years later, the invincible cavalry of the Ming Dynasty became  The civil servants of the Ming Dynasty did not think about how to serve the country and the people, but they fought with each other for power, and even for the benefit of one person and one family, they did not hesitate to break the bones and suck the marrow of the people, and they did not hesitate to push the Ming Dynasty into the abyss. This is  The consequences of comfort!¡±

    Fang, Liu, and Sun still agree with Zhu Youxiao's words. After all, what literati pay attention to is that using copper as a mirror can correct one's clothes and hats, and using history as a mirror can help one know the ups and downs!

    However, they agree with what Zhu Youxiao just said, but it does not mean that they agree with Zhu Youxiao's actions!

    Sun Chengzong advised: "What your Majesty said is not unreasonable, but in order to make the king and courtiers have a sense of worry, cultivating the power of overseas governors is quite a bit of a waste of time. What's more, under the leadership of your majesty, the Ming Dynasty has already learned about the outside world.  Understand that the small but powerful countries in Europe are enough to alert the Ming Dynasty monarchs and ministers, why bother asking for trouble again?"

    Zhu Youxiao laughed and said: "Sun Aiqing's words are on point. I just talked about the reasons for delegating power to overseas governors. Now I will talk about the restrictions on overseas governors!"

    The three of them said in unison: "Your Majesty, please enlighten me!"

    Zhu Youxiao said: "Although overseas governors can be in charge of the civil and military affairs of a colony, they must face the eager eyes of European countries. It is impossible for a colony to defeat so many evil wolves with the power of a colony. Therefore, if overseas colonies want to be stable,  We must rely on the strength of the mother country. Moreover, although the troops stationed in the colonies are under the control of the governor, the power of mobilization belongs to the court. Even the governor has a term limit. At that time, as long as the garrison is regularly transferred and the governor is replaced, it will not be easy for overseas governors to become big.  thing!"

    The three veterans were still very satisfied with Zhu Youxiao's explanation, but Liu Yishen suddenly asked: "But what if someone grows in strength and eventually disobeys the court's instructions?"

    When mentioning this issue, Zhu Youxiao couldn't help but think of the most powerful country in later generations. That country developed from the colonies of the former empire where the sun never sets, but Zhu Youxiao was not worried about this kind of thing. After all,It would take two to three hundred years for a large-scale colonial independence movement to happen!

    However, Zhu Youxiao still said: "What Mr. Liu Ge is worried about will definitely happen, but I think this kind of thing can not be considered in two to three hundred years, because no matter how ambitious the overseas governors are, there is one problem that they cannot solve!"

    Liu Yishen hurriedly asked: "What's the problem?"

    "Population!" Zhu Youxiao said categorically: "With the current population, it is impossible for overseas colonies to become successful. Unless the population increases massively, the colonies will have a sufficient population to meet the needs of agriculture, industry, and military. Otherwise,  Overseas governors can only be the puppets of the imperial court!"

    Liu Yishen asked in confusion: "As far as I know, there are many indigenous people on overseas desert islands and mainlands. Can't overseas governors rely on them to fight against the imperial court?"

    Zhu Youxiao shook his head and said: "Mr. Liu Ge only knows one thing, but he doesn't know the other. Although there are many natives on overseas desert islands and mainlands, most of them are savages who drink hair and drink blood. They don't even have writing or etiquette. This kind of  How can a human being become the backbone of a country? Besides, we know that people who are not from our race will have different minds. It¡¯s not like they don¡¯t understand this truth!"

    Fang Conzhe stroked his beard and nodded and said: "What your Majesty said is absolutely true. During the reign of Emperor Chengzu, the imperial court sent troops to Jiaozhi. I thought that Jiaozhi was the homeland of China. Their people also learned my writing and obeyed my clothes. If the imperial army is unified, the people of Jiaozhi will definitely eat.  The people of Jiaozhi rebelled one after another, and eventually the imperial court had to abandon Jiaozhi. Those overseas barbarians are more difficult to control than the Jiaozhi people. It is impossible for overseas governors to rely on them to fight against the imperial court!"

    Zhu Youxiao nodded and said: "That's the truth. However, it was not wrong for Chengzu to capture Jiaozhi back then. It was just that the method was not appropriate and the court lost troops and generals. In the end, Jiaozhi had to be abandoned, thus causing Ming Dynasty to lose the perfect opportunity to control Nanyang!  "

    Sun Chengzong asked doubtfully: "May I ask what your majesty said? I have also read a lot about the Battle of Jiaozhi. I feel that the Jiaozhi Mountains are high, densely forested, hot, rainy, and full of miasma. It is difficult for our army to deploy, and the water and soil are not suitable for it. Therefore, the battle of Jiaozhi  In fighting against our Ming Dynasty, we can say that the weather, the right location, and the people are all the same, and failure is inevitable. Does your Majesty still have a good strategy to win Jiaozhi?"

    Zhu Youxiao took a sip of tea and said: "The climate and geography of Manila are similar to those of Cochin, and the indigenous population is not inferior to Cochin. But why can the Spanish use twelve warships and more than a thousand soldiers to occupy Manila for more than a hundred years? During this period, Spain not only  Without any investment in Manila, how can we still profit from it?" (Remember this website address: www.hlnovel.com
