This is the personality of Zhu Youjian.

He has been thinking about something all his life, and is a person who really wants to do a career.

Moreover, although this person is a noble man, he is not only very eager to cause trouble, but also is willing to do it.

To be honest, not to mention the royal family, even if you look at the whole world, there are really few people like Zhu Youjian who are diligent and willing to work hard.

Of course... in history, he went the wrong way.

So much so that the more you do, the more you die, the more miserable you die.

The incident of Guide left a deep shadow on him. Not only did the respectful princess die, but his values ​​were also directly shaken.

Zhang Jingyi has now pointed out a clear path for him, and this is no longer a question of whether to make contributions or not.

He himself is the prince, what's the use of asking for this credit?

But he found the meaning of life.

It turns out that people can live like this.

If Zhu Youjian, who used to be trapped in a darkness, then... Zhang Jingyi was light, so Zhu Youjian suddenly realized and immediately understood the true meaning of life.

Therefore, his words were heart-warming and there was no falsehood.

As soon as these words came out, the ministers were silent.

Someone just now mocked Zhang Jingyi for not being willing to do things for the people of the world!

Especially Li Guo, he frowned in his heart. In this way, Zhang Jingyi seemed to have made great contributions.

How could it be if there was no ripple in his heart?

Emperor Tianqi didn't care about those things, and he was already overjoyed and said happily: "Yes, it was Zhang Qing's suggestion to plant rye. Zhang Qing really made great contributions, haha... It's a reward for the unborn, this is a reward for the unborn."

Emperor Tianqi turned his eyes and looked at Zhang Jing and said, "Zhang Qing... come forward."

Zhang Jingyi was possessed by an older generation of performing artists.

He looked as if he didn't dare to take such great achievements, and stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, Your Highness, Your Highness, is too much of a word. What can I do to make me? I just spent some effort to find some rye seeds, and invited someone like Your Highness, who is willing to use his life for Your Majesty to plant it in Liaodong. What is the merit? Your Highness, Your Highness, Your Highness... To this point, he is an exaggeration."

Emperor Tianqi said happily: "Why is there no credit? This is a great credit! Everyone wants to increase grain production, only Zhang Qing can find rye. This is called serving the country and the people, reporting to the country, and waving the people! I see... you can be Duke Zhou."

Guan Zhong and Leyi were considered a bird, and only Zhou Gong deserved such achievements.

When the ministers heard this, some people nodded secretly. It was not an exaggeration to say that it was Duke Zhou for his achievements.

But some people frowned secretly, especially Li Guo, who had completely turned against Zhang Jingyi. Of course, it would not be possible not to turn against him.

In fact, Li Guo is not stupid, not that he did not know that Zhang Jing was powerful and received absolute support from Emperor Tianqi.

But this is also his very smart place. In the cabinet, his qualifications and reputation are slightly inferior. If he is senior, if he can endure Huang Liji, he will endure Sun Chengzong to death, and Liu Hongxun, he knows... he will endure it too.

But... there is a shortcut that can be taken.

As Zhang Jingyi introduced the new policy, the cabinet did not have the power to restrain Zhang Jingyi for the time being, but... the world... has a huge mass base to oppose the new policy.

With such a huge force, any minister in the cabinet would be willing to stand up and stand opposite Zhang Jingyi, and would quickly receive the support of countless ministers, gentry and scholars!

What a huge power this is. As long as you use it well, you can quickly stand out in the cabinet. At that time, think about your own weight?

In this way, it is unknown whether the left and right cemeteries will be directly replaced by Huang Liji in the future.

Even if you take a step back, you can still be similar to Sima Guang's image in the future, and will be famous throughout the ages and be praised by people.

This is very attractive to Li Guo.

This time, Emperor Tianqi actually described Zhang Jingyi as Duke of Zhou, which made Li Guo secretly unhappy. Duke of Zhou was a saint who Confucius wanted to praise, and his status in Confucianism was no worse than that of Confucius.

Isn’t this obvious enough to praise His Majesty?

But... he didn't say anything.

Because he knew very well that if he said too much at this time, it would be of no benefit to him.

Zhang Jingyi naturally began to be humble at this time.

Emperor Tianqi said in surprise at this time: "Zhang Qing, how did you know that there is such a divine object in this world?"

"Because our concept was wrong in the past." Zhang Jing said firmly.

"Is the concept wrong?" Emperor Tianqi said in surprise.

Then Zhu Youjian began to sound even more relish.

Zhang Jing nodded and continued, "In the past, our idea was that my Central Plains was the world. Although there were some vassal states around him, these were all the corners of the world. Even if Zheng He went to the West, headed west all the way to Kunlun Prefecture, and had seen the vastness of the world, our Ming Dynasty still had this idea. The so-called world is nothing more than nine provinces."

"But... Is there really only this place in the world of Jiuzhou? Are the products of my Ming Dynasty really all-encompassing? Your Majesty, this world is so big that even my Ming Dynasty is just a part of the land, and there are as numerous people in the world. The abundant products in the world may not even be able to have them. I will turn a blind eye to those products that have great benefits to my Ming Dynasty and have never heard of them. How can this continue?"

After pausing, he continued, "Just say that this rye is something that I sent people to inquire about it, and only then did I learn about it. Can Your Majesty know how far is the origin of this thing from my Ming Dynasty?"

Emperor Aoki obviously had no patience, so he immediately said, "Don't keep it a secret!"

Zhang Jingyi said: "There are tens of thousands of miles away. There is also a place that lives in an extremely cold place, but there... there are still countless people who have reproduced and thrived. They rely on this rye to cultivate and use this rye as their food. They first have a village, then raised a town, and then established countries. Therefore, I think that if the Ming Dynasty wants to revive, it will not be possible to imitate Guangwu. Instead, we should focus on all directions and make your Majesty's kindness truly spread thousands of miles away. At the same time, we will understand the countries in the world in a large amount, not only to know their countries, but also to understand the products of each country, so that they can be used by our Ming Dynasty."

"One rye can solve the problem of countless arable land in our Ming Dynasty, so what about the others? Not to mention the other ones, I will talk about a few days ago that I purchased a large amount of things from Luzon and other places. This thing is called rubber. With this rubber, it has been of great use. I spent a lot of money to hoard, and until now... Your Majesty has not reimbursed... No, I mean... If I introduce this rubber to Guangdong, Guangxi, Qiongzhou and other places, my Ming Dynasty will benefit greatly."

If these words were said before, everyone might sneer.

But what I said today is imaginative.

Emperor Tianqi was even more fascinated at this time. Yes, if there was another thing like rye, I don’t know how many problems it could solve!

So Emperor Aoki said, "Since that's the case, what do you think should be done?"

Zhang Jingyi had already considered it, so he said: "Set up an expedition team to go to the extreme north, or go west, or through the sea to the other side of the ocean to understand the customs and customs of the world. This is... I think it can be handed over to the Jinyiwei, but... to explore, it is necessary to be a wise and brave man. Otherwise, who can withstand such suffering? Therefore, he must give it a generous gift."

"Then you will leave this matter to you." Obviously, Emperor Tianqi had a natural sense of trust in Zhang Jingyi, and he continued: "I am not reluctant to give it."

As he said that, he looked at Zhu Youjian, and finally his brother. Seeing that Zhu Youjian was so depressed, he sighed: "King Xin suffered, and the nobles of heaven were farming like farmers. The so-called practice of his own will be like this. King Xin has made great contributions this time, so what reward do you want?"

Zhu Youjian said seriously: "Your Majesty, I don't want to reward you, I just want one thing!"

Emperor Tianqi said, "You just say it's okay, I'm willing to give you anything."

Zhu Youjian said: "Let me continue to stay in Liaodong and promote rye. The habits and cultivation of rye cannot be completed overnight. Now I only know that it can be cultivated, but... how to promote it, whether it can be cultivated through different geology and climates to increase yields is a big problem. I am willing to stay in Liaodong and do all my strength and do these small things well."

To be honest, I have only seen people who want gold and titles, but it is unheard of people like Zhu Youjian who are desperately trying to endure hardships.

Emperor Tianqi was speechless for a moment, and he agreed not, nor did he agree not.

He had no choice but to sigh and said, "You need to ask Zhang Qing about this matter. Zhang Qing is the prince of Liaodong and guards Liaodong. If he accepts it, you will go and talk about it."

Zhu Youjian glanced at Zhang Jing one by one.

At this moment, he had only admired Zhang Jingyi's mentality, so he said seriously: "What are Brother Zhang's ideas?"

Zhang Jingyi smiled bitterly and said, "If Your Highness is willing to go, I will not be able to ask for it, but Liaodong is bitter and cold."

Zhu Youjian said immediately without thinking: "It is precisely because of the bitter cold that someone needs to set an example. The Lone King planned to build several military farms in Lushun, Jinzhou, Shenyang, Ningyuan, and Korqin, each with 3,000 acres of farmland, and then take people to places further north!"

"It is reported that the Jurchens in Jianzhou, the savage Jurchens and the Jurchens in the East China Sea are also very bitter and cold, especially the Jurchens in the East China Sea. When the Lonely King heard that there was almost no grass growing, and the snow was heavy in all seasons, the Lonely King wanted to give it a try there too."

Zhang Jing thought to himself, that place... Damn, is Zhu Youjian crazy? If he continues to do it, he is afraid that he will go to the Bering Strait to plant rye.

However... Zhang Jing used to see Zhu Youjian, he really treated him as a fool.

After all, preconceived ideas!
