    Xie Qian was confused.

    He lowered his head in disbelief and continued to read the letter.

    But in this letteryou can probably tell a few things.

    First, my cousin has changed.

    Secondmy cousin is living a good life in Luzon.

    Even the whole family¡¯s life in Luzon was good.

    The most important thing isin Luzon, they have extremely high profits.

    The value of the land transferred to Luzon in Jiangnan far exceeds that in the past.

    As for why my cousin changed, this I can't explain.

    Xie Qian¡¯s face turned red.

    Zhu Houzhao said at this time: "Master Xie keeps saying that I have wronged the Jiangnan gentry, that I have exiled them, and that I am rude. This is simply nonsense!"

    Zhu Houzhao continued righteously: "Tell me, how did I treat them poorly? I still want to go to a good place like Luzon, but I don't allow it. I always tell him, Lu Song  For a good place like Song Dynasty, let¡¯s not fight with the Jiangnan gentry, it¡¯s not easy for them either¡­¡±

    The smile on Fang Jifan's face disappeared, and he opened his mouth to say, I never said that.

    After all, I still didn¡¯t lose face. After all, it was because of Zhu Houzhao¡¯s upcoming accession to the throne.

    Zhu Houzhao continued: "My father treated the gentry so well, and treated your relatives so well, but in the end, you are like dogs biting Lu Dongbin, and you don't know good people's hearts. What does this mean? There must be someone with bad intentions, spreading rumors and causing trouble."  , I would like to ask, who is stirring up trouble, and what are their intentions?"

    "This" Xie Qian breathed a sigh of relief.

    These days, he felt as if he was holding a breath in his heart.  It felt like there was something stuck in his throat, and now it seemed He began to realize that his relatives were really fine, and then he felt a little relieved.

    The other ministers were surprised and felt strange.

    It¡¯s just that now no one dares to say anything, but they are thinking that they have to wait for the letter from Luzon to come over and understand the whole story.

    Zhu Houzhao snorted coldly, and then said to Emperor Hongzhi: "Father, the reason why my sons and ministers wore military uniforms to enter the palace is to comply with the public opinion of gentry like Master Xie's cousin. They denounced the Portuguese, and the Portuguese in Java  They are doing this nonsense. We, the Ming Dynasty, are the superior state. How can we turn a blind eye? Now that they have come to ask for help and are willing to support the military, we, the Ming Dynasty, can use Luzon as a springboard to expel the Francois. This Western land will no longer allow these people to wreak havoc.  Yes. This is a report from Governor Liu Yi and other gentry. I kindly ask my father to take a look at it."

    He held the stack of letters high.

    A eunuch had already hurried forward, took the letter and put it on Emperor Hongzhi's desk.

    Emperor Hongzhi was shocked. He took the letters, lowered his head, and read them one by one.

    The more I look at itthe more frightened I feel.

    Where do these gentry in Luzon get so much money and food?

    Emperor Hongzhi took a deep breath and then looked up at Zhu Houzhao: "Princethis"

    "Father, the land in Luzon is not only fertile, but the manpower is lower than that of the Ming Dynasty. Not only that, it can also grow a large amount of sugar cane and spices needed for cane sugar. Its status is unique. It should be noted that every year, Sihai trading firms come from the West  The purchased sugar and spices cost tens of millions of taels of silver. In the past, these had to be purchased from other vassal states, but now Luzon has been acquired, and it is more convenient to purchase in Luzon. When the gentry arrived in Luzon, it was really  It's like a mouse falling into a rice vat"

    ""

    Although he was described as a mouse, no one can argue with Zhu Houzhao now.

    Zhu Houzhao added: "Based on the accounts of Sihai Commercial Bank, I have calculated that the income from the same acre of land in Luzon can be three to five times that of one acre of land in Jiangnan. My father, the Holy Ming, will move them  To Luzon, it was a great blessing for them. Naturally, the sons and ministers were also very wise. During the migration process, the Zhenguo government contributed the most and prepared a large amount of medicine for them. When Luzon divided the land  , and tried his best to be fair, my father I sincerely ask my father for permission to launch troops against the Portuguese in order to comply with the people's wishes."

    Emperor Hongzhi was stunned for a moment, and then he felt happy.

    Based on these letters alone, he still couldn't understand why these gentry insisted on launching troops against Java when they were full, but after listening to the prince's analysis, he finally understood.

    What surprised Emperor Hongzhi was not that these gentry were properly resettled, but the prince's performance in the process.

    He looked at the prince with eagerness in his eyes and said, "So"The idea of ??the emperor or the idea of ??the successor?  "

    Zhu Houzhao's heart skipped a beat, and his eyes subconsciously glanced at Fang Jifan. Fang Jifan did not squint, he was calm and composed, and did not dare to interact with Zhu Houzhao.

    Zhu Houzhao simply said: "Father, my successor gave me some advice, and I thought it was appropriate, soso"

    "In other words, this is the idea of ????succession?" Emperor Hongzhi pressed forward step by step.

    "Yes, yes, it's Lao Fang's idea that a man should not tell secret stories." Zhu Houzhao was really not good at lying, so he simply stared with his eyes bigger than a bell, looking like he was ready to die at any time.

    Who would have expected Emperor Hongzhi laughed heartily: "Hahahahaha"

    Zhu Houzhao: ""

    After Emperor Hongzhi laughed, he looked pleased and said: "To be a king, you don't need to be the smartest person, but you must be able to weigh the pros and cons, do what is good, and do what you feel is right, despite all the difficulties.  , this is the duty of a king. If you can accept the suggestions of the Fang Qing family and choose the right person to implement them this is enough to prove that you are a virtuous prince. The person in charge of the Sihai Trading Company is Liu Jin  ?"

    "Yes, it's him!" (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
