For a long time in the past, the Central Plains people's understanding of the world was limited by mountains, rivers and rivers.

This period of time can be measured in thousands of years.

It also represents the Central Plains people’s understanding of the world.

The Central Plains people first developed and expanded from the Yellow River Basin, and then developed a glorious era in the entire Central Plains region. Then the Central Plains people discovered that the world was actually bigger.

then.

The war broke out.

With rounds of wars, dynasties were established and destroyed, and dynasties alternated over and over again.

finally.

The people of the Central Plains believe that they have occupied the entire world.

Because to the east of the Central Plains is the endless sea, to the south is the jungle miasma and unattainable plateaus that can swallow armies, to the west is the yellow sand, and in the north are nomadic feuds.

As a result, the Central Plains people felt that they had occupied the entire world, and that outside the Central Plains were all barbarian lands, not worth mentioning, let alone sacrificing the lives of the Central Plains people to fight for.

This state has existed in the hearts of the Central Plains people for a long time.

It was not until the beginning of the Tang Dynasty hundreds of years ago that things gradually changed in the hearts of the Central Plains people.

The people of the Central Plains began to know the outside world and had more possibilities.

However, due to various reasons, the Central Plains people gave up continuing to explore outside the country.

In fact, over the long years, the Central Plains people's understanding of the world has always been at the forefront of all human groups.

Because of internal reasons and external difficulties, the rulers of the Central Plains Dynasty chose to forget their understanding of the outside world.

It's different now.

The Ming Dynasty has far greater strength than any previous dynasty, a more unified determination, and the ambitions of any era.

Even the cabinet ministers gathered in Wenyuan Pavilion at this moment don't know.

They are about to fill in the last blank territory of the world.

But they understood what could be called a speech delivered by the young emperor's grandson in the center of imperial power, and what it actually meant.

Ming Dynasty has begun to announce to everyone.

This world will completely belong to Ming Dynasty.

All unowned lands belong to the territory of the Ming Dynasty. The culture of all lands already inhabited by humans must lag behind the culture of the Central Plains, and the people of the Central Plains should educate them in the royal way.

As for replacing other cultures with Central Plains culture.

Such side issues are nothing compared to making the people of this world move towards a more civilized world.

Although Ren Hengtai doesn't like the country's military aggression, what has happened in the past few years and the several large-scale military operations launched by the country have loudly explained to the world that the country's foreign wars will bring huge consequences to the country.

Benefits.

And such benefits will also be spread to the people within each country through court policies.

So in the face of Zhu Yunxi's announcement at this moment, Ren Hengtai, the chief minister, chose to remain silent.

Perhaps I should focus more on the ideological education of the people of the empire in the future.

As the country began to embark on an unprecedented path, Ren Hengtai deeply believed that he should change his political goal for the rest of his life to improving the overall quality of the people.

He looked at Xie Jin silently.

Since the emperor's grandson has made his mind clear at this time.

So the cabinet must give a response today, whether it is approval or objection, or whether it will be discussed later, there must be an explanation.

Xie Jin hasn't spoken yet.

Xu Yungong beside him had already coughed lightly.

"Under the whole world, everything is the land of the king; on the shore of the land, there is nothing but the king's ministers."

"What the ancient sages have said a long time ago, and we have been repeating for thousands of years, is that we should follow the wishes of the sages."

After saying these two sentences, Xu Yungong leaned on the chair, held the tea cup next to him with one hand, opened the tea lid with the other hand, blew in the tea with a happy expression, and then drank it casually.

tea in hand.

Being robbed of his words, Jie Jin's brows jumped twice.

This is what some sage said, but I have never heard of it.

This is just written by an unknown person in the Book of Songs, and its original meaning is not literal.

Damn the Governor's Office, in order to continue to use troops abroad, it can be said that it does everything possible!

Xie Jin cursed Xu Yungong and the military behind him in his heart.

However, Xie Jin could only keep calm on his face, and even said in agreement: "What Mr. Wei Guo said is reasonable. His Majesty the Emperor is holy in heaven and should benefit all people. Our dynasty governs the country with benevolence and filial piety, and has always treated everyone equally. All the people in the world should be treated equally."

Like the common people of our dynasty, all the people of all directions and tribes can bathe in the prosperity and grace of His Majesty the Emperor of our dynasty."

After finishing speaking, Xie Jin immediately sat down and lowered his head without saying a word.

Gao Yangzhi, who was sitting next to him, could clearly see that the gentleman's face turned red.

This is really hard to say.

If it wasn't for the country, how could Xie Jin say it out loud?

The last official to enter the cabinet, Zhai Shan, the Minister of Civil Service, fell silent when he saw everyone.

Only then did he raise his head and look at the emperor's grandson above.

Zhai Shan coughed slightly, attracting everyone's attention.

A smile appeared on his face: "The sage has something to say..."

As soon as Zhai Shan opened his mouth.

Inside the cabinet, it seemed as if a row of crows were flying over everyone's heads.

Did the sage say too much?

Jie Jin, who had already lowered his head in shame, roared loudly in his heart.

Zhai Shan sat upright and said in a deep voice: "Kong Sheng said..."

As soon as he opened his mouth, Xie Jin immediately raised his head.

Confucius said many things, and they all made sense.

There is no way to roar or object to this.

Zhu Gaochi blinked, which was another way he understood the officials of the Ming Dynasty.

Zhai Shan said softly: "There is no distinction without distinction. Confucius once had three thousand disciples, but he never asked where they came from or where they were born. As long as they were willing to learn from him, he accepted them all."

There is no point in refuting this.

At that time, the sage Kong led three thousand disciples and campaigned (crossed the line) to lobby (affirmed) that he was invincible in the world. He relied on education and no discrimination.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Sage Kong is eight feet tall and holds an iron rod in his hand.

A picture flashed through Zhu Yunxi's mind, who was sitting above him, and he couldn't help but shudder.

He quickly looked seriously and looked at the core figures of imperial power in front of him.

"Although the northern customs have been pacified, the remaining evil has not been eliminated. However, with Tie Xuan in charge, there will not be too many problems. But the west is getting better. There have been many barbarian merchants from the sea in recent years, but the Silk Road in the past

But we still have to strive to reopen it as soon as possible to benefit the people in the northwest of Ming Dynasty."

Among the four regions of the Ming Dynasty, there is only one Western Region left that has not yet been connected. This matter was mentioned by many people in the court when the Northern Expeditionary Army returned to Beijing in triumph and was granted the title.

Most of them are people from the Ministry of Revenue and the Governor's Office.

Now that Zhu Yunxi is talking about it again, it is obvious that it will be implemented from the cabinet level down.

Ren Hengtai turned slightly sideways: "Jie Ge's railway plan has not been approved by the cabinet yet. It's not because I don't want to, but there are still some details that need to be improved. However, I think it won't be long before we can discuss it.

To be more specific, why not discuss it with the officials at the court meeting in the name of the cabinet?"

The development of the New World was on the table, and Ren Hengtai really couldn't think of any other reason to stop the construction of the western railway.

Reopening the Silk Road in the Western Regions and recreating the scenes of the Han and Tang dynasties would naturally add to the emperor's authority, but at the same time it would also give cabinet ministers like them a solid posthumous reputation.

With the return of Zhu Yunwen's knowledge of the New World.

Ren Hengtai has figured out a lot of things today.

Since I can't stop the empire from going in a direction that I can't predict at all, I might as well be a participant and see with my own eyes what kind of magnificent scenery there is at the end of this road.

And as Ren Hengtai took the initiative to speak at this moment.

All the cabinet ministers headed by Xie Jin immediately looked at him.

Mr. Ren actually agreed to build the Western Railway!

Everyone was surprised.
