Because it is approaching the end of the year, Ye Chunqiu, as the adopted son of Empress Dowager Zhang, had to ask for peace.

After staying in the Zhenguo New Army camp for two days, Ye Chunqiu went to the palace to meet him.

When he arrived at Renshou Palace, it was cold outside, but the Renshou Palace was full of warmth. Ye Chunqiu walked in and saw a little guy sitting on the ground with several eunuchs surrounding him.

The little guy looked up and saw Ye Chunqiu, but he didn't even recognize his life. He laughed.

Ye Chunqiu also smiled at him, but he did not forget the serious matters. He hurriedly saluted Empress Dowager Zhang who was sitting on the warm couch. Empress Dowager Zhang smiled and said, "It's hard for you to still think about it. Oh, Xiao Chengzi, don't let His Royal Highness sit on the ground anymore. The ground is cold. This child..." Empress Dowager Zhang shook her head, showing a bit of love for love, and said, "It's the same as when the emperor was a child. She would cry and make a fuss when sitting elsewhere, but she would sit on the ground, so she was more at ease."

Uh... Ye Chunqiu didn't know how to answer, did he say that his genes were not good?

The little orange hurriedly picked up Zhu Zaiyao. Who knew that at this time, Zhu Zaiyao started crying. Ye Chunqiu couldn't help but laugh and said, "Let me try it."

He and Zhu Zaiyao are also old acquaintances. When they reached out, Zhu Zaiyao had grown up a lot and could barely sit down.

Ye Chunqiu held Zhu Zaiyao in his hand. Zhu Zaiyao actually giggled at him, and then reached out to touch Ye Chunqiu's chin. When Ye Chunqiu saw this, he felt a little kind and warmth.

Empress Dowager Zhang ordered him to sit down, and Ye Chunqiu hugged Zhu Zaiyao and sat down on his knees. He only heard Empress Dowager Zhang laughed and said, "The Marquis of Shouning came a few days ago and praised you, saying that since you have your country's capital, his land has also made great profits. Chunqiu, don't want to accommodate them in everything. My brothers, the Ai family knows it. The Ai family doesn't expect anything, just expect them to be safe. As for their business affairs, as long as they don't mess up, they will come and cry again."

Ye Chunqiu smiled and said, "What the queen said is that the son minister has already informed me. The raw materials of Shouning Hou and Jianchang Bo should be purchased first. If they are interested, they can do other business."

Queen Mother Zhang nodded, looked at him with praise, and said, "I heard that you made a map. Oh, the emperor is really worried about food and food. He ordered people to imitate the map, hide in the warm chalet all day long, staring at it all day long, and his mouth is full of real la, Luzon, O'er, and what's the man..."

Xiao Orange was talking on the side: "Ottoman."

Queen Mother Zhang nodded and said, "Oh, it's Ottoman, it's it. What's the point of being good about this Ottoman? He is so fascinated by this? He can't hold back his mind, and the Ai family is too lazy to care about it."

Ye Chunqiu casually talked to Empress Dowager Zhang about family matters, but defended Zhu Houzhao: "My mother, don't say that. Your Majesty is a man with great ambitions. The Ottomans are almost close to the border of the Ming Dynasty in the western border of our Ming Dynasty. After this country rose, they were extremely powerful and destroyed countless countries and unified the three continents of the world. The troops pointed out, they were invincible. Even the Oirat and the Tatars wanted to give them some points. But for this reason, they blocked the business path of our Ming Dynasty to the west, making the original communication and whether there was any other way... "

Empress Dowager Zhang couldn't help but smile and said, "Why are you going to be the same as Your Majesty? It turns out that the one who is close to the vermilion is red and the one who is close to the ink is black. When talking about this Ottoman, you will talk endlessly. Don't talk to the woman of the Ai family, as the Ai family doesn't understand it after hearing it."

Ye Chunqiu suddenly realized it and couldn't help but feel funny. He said in his heart, then I'll talk to Zhu Houzhao later.

After having fun with the likable Zhu Zaiyao for a while, Ye Chunqiu said goodbye to Queen Mother Zhang and went to the warm pavilion. When he arrived, he saw Zhu Houzhao staring at the map on the wall with a beard and motionless.

Ye Chunqiu tiptoed to Zhu Houzhao's side. Zhu Houzhao withdrew his gaze, looked at Ye Chunqiu, and murmured: "Chunqiu is here, I have something to ask you. Since the Ming Dynasty is only in a corner, then logically speaking, the central mind of the world should be this Ottoman. If the Ming Dynasty wants to become a real Middle-earth country, wouldn't it be necessary to defeat the Ottoman and occupy the heart of the three continents before it can be called China, right?"

Ye Chunqiu's head: "Your Majesty is saying."

"So if I launch an army to conquer?"

Ye Chunqiu shook his head and said, "No."

Zhu Houzhao was a little annoyed; "Why is this?"

"Your Majesty, because no one in the world will do it." Ye Chunqiu said truthfully.

Yes, when you launch an army and conquer, how much manpower and material resources are needed to be used and how many people will die, just to satisfy your royal hegemony!

In fact, in addition to strategic needs, operating the Western Regions is actually a loss-making business in this era, because the land there is not suitable for farming at all. Could it be that countless families will sacrifice it just to get a large piece of barren land?

This behavior almost goes against the interests of everyone. The gentry gets a worthless land, and the farmers have no land, so their lives cannot be improved. As long as you spend his money to do meaningless things, they will be furious one by one.

The only one who has this intention is Zhu Houzhao, who has been fantasizing about his great military achievements since childhood.

Zhu Houzhao sighed quietly with regret.

Ye Chunqiu continued: "But if there is value here, the people in the world will be willing."

"Hmm?" Zhu Houzhao glanced at Ye Chunqiu strangely.

Ye Chunqiu said: "If one day more and more merchants need to produce, and the demand for raw materials is getting greater and greater. If one day more people call craftsmen, the court needs to provide them with more positions. If one day, merchants need to open up more markets and sell goods to more people, then they will become a accumulated flood and will crazily push His Majesty to run the world's heart, so as to use this place as a distribution area for goods to transport their goods everywhere in the world. If it is farming, it is of course of no value, but if it is doing business, it is crucial."

Zhu Houzhao seemed to understand the head of the earth, and then smiled and said, "I suddenly realized that I didn't understand anything, but it doesn't matter, just spring and autumn can understand it."

Ye Chunqiu looked at the little emperor and saw that his face was a little haggard. To some extent, this guy is indeed quite strange. He is considered to be a rare thing in China for five thousand years.
