The Grand Tutor Hui'an Marquis Yang Cong went on a triumphant expedition to Japan and returned triumphantly. The entire Ming Dynasty was filled with joy. Emperor Yongqing was even more excited and danced with joy. He shouted and wanted to go to Tianjin New Port to greet him.

There is no precedent for this kind of thing. There is nothing wrong with the emperor's greeting of his minister, Kaixuan. However, it was a bit too much when he went out for hundreds of miles. Finally, with the strong advice of a group of court officials, he reluctantly agreed to ask the Grand Secretary of the Cabinet Zhang Juzheng to Tianjin New Port to welcome Yang Cong's Kaixuan on his behalf, and he led his ministers to wait outside the Chaoyang Gate of the capital.

Tianjin Xingang was very lively on this day. On the wharf, there were officials such as the Grand Secretary of the Cabinet, Zhang Juzheng, and the Jinyiwei, and the Beijing Imperial Guards were lined up in an orderly manner. There were tens of thousands of people watching the fun around the wharf. There were colorful flags flying everywhere, and laughter and joy everywhere.

On this side, Zhang Juzhengcai directed his subordinates to prepare everything. On the other side, there were already dense black spots on the sea surface. At this time, the Ming Navy fleet was the Ming Navy fleet. Although this was not the first time the common people saw the Ming Navy fleet, they still couldn't help but cheer excitedly.

The Ming Navy fleet was really majestic. There were dozens of lucky ships like city towers, driving from the sea, like a huge city slowly pressing over, with an extremely terrifying momentum.

After a burst of excited cheers, the Ming Navy fleet finally slowly approached the dock. The first one was the flagship Yang Cong was riding. The ladder was lowered. Yang Cong walked down with a group of civil servants and generals with a smile. Zhang Juzheng had already stood respectfully below and waited.

Yang Cong was quite satisfied with this disciple. Zhang Juzheng had a strong understanding and execution ability. No matter what the new policy was, just explain it carefully to him and he could continue to implement it according to your ideas.

In this way, he doesn't have to stay in the capital and stare at him. If he doesn't have this disciple, he will be worried about fighting everywhere.

After the master and apprentice's greeting, Yang Cong couldn't help asking: "Taiyue, there was nothing wrong with the court during this period, what happened to the emperor? No one was slandering in front of the emperor, right?"

Zhang Juzheng quickly said respectfully: "Don't worry, mentor, everything is normal in the court, the new policy is implemented smoothly, and the emperor has become increasingly calm. It is not so easy for those old men to fool him."

Upon hearing this, Yang Cong nodded with relief and said, "Well, that's good. By the way, the imperial court has not had any major money-making matters recently, is it still full of national treasury?"

Zhang Juzheng said without hesitation: "The biggest thing that the court has done recently is to go to Japan. Mentor, you not only did not spend the imperial court's money, but also brought millions of taels of income to the court. Of course, the national treasury is very abundant. The specific number of students must go to the Ministry of Revenue to find out, but it should not be less than 30 million taels."

Upon hearing this, Yang Cong nodded with relief again and said, "Well, it's great. I have thought about it for a while. If the Ming Dynasty develops rapidly, the most important thing is to have a road that is well-connected. Therefore, if you want to advise the emperor, you should first build a few thoroughfares connecting the provinces and important cities of the Ming Dynasty. Once this road is built, it will be more convenient for vendors to do business. At the same time, building roads can also increase the income of the people and enrich the people and strengthen the country. It can be said that you will kill two birds with one stone."

Immediately afterwards, he explained the idea of ​​road construction to Zhang Juzheng, including how to determine the width and density of roads based on the development level of local businesses, how to mobilize local officials to use the built roads to develop the local economy, how to organize labor, how to make up wages, etc.

Zhang Juzheng's ability to comprehend was really amazing. After Yang Cong spoke for a while, he had already realized the benefits of road construction and praised Yang Cong's ideas.

This is not a flattery, but he has truly realized the idea of ​​building roads to drive economic development.

Yang Cong was very proud of this disciple's ability to comprehend the comprehension. The master and the disciple talked and laughed, boarded the special train to the capital. Along the way, both of them were constantly discussing various problems that might be encountered during the road construction process, and the capital had arrived unknowingly.

Next, there was another grand welcome ceremony, and Emperor Yongqing personally welcomed it outside Chaoyang Gate. The scene was so lively that it could be said that the Ming Dynasty had not existed in nearly two hundred years.

After a hustle and bustle, Emperor Yongqing invited his mentor Yang Cong into the palace and pulled him to the imperial study room. He kept nagging like a child who had not seen his parents for a long time. From major events in the court to trivial matters in the harem, he never finished talking about it. Until Yang Cong showed a little tiredness, he said awkwardly: "Master, are you tired? I am really a little out of control. Master, you have not even rested after you come back from Japan all the way. I haven't seen your master for too long. I miss you so much. Sorry, sorry."

Upon hearing this, Yang Cong smiled and shook his head and said, "Don't worry, my husband is not tired, but he either takes a car or a boat along the way. I have been sitting for a long time and I am a little tired. It's okay, it's okay, Your Majesty, please continue."

Yongqing said a little embarrassedly: "Master, are you really tired?"

Yang Cong could only straighten his body seriously and said, "Really, Weichen is not tired at all."

Yongqing then continued, "By the way, Master, you won't go far this time, right? I'm really a little panicked when you leave. I'm worried all day long, afraid that something will happen. This day is so hard."

Yang Cong finally understood why Yongqing was so abnormal. This is a sign that a person is about to grow up and mature. If Yongqing doesn’t think about anything all day long, only knows how to eat or play, then there will be no such worries.

In other words, at this time, people have actually started to manage their own affairs, and they will gradually get used to being independent. However, at the beginning, they are still a little uncomfortable and always want elders to guide them.

This kind of thing is very common and there is nothing to worry about.

Yang Cong still smiled and said, "Your Majesty, you know that you are worried about national affairs, which proves that you have grown up and can control the entire Ming Dynasty independently. This is a good thing. As for the teacher, it is actually the same whether you are here or not. Look, for the teacher, it has been so long that there has been no mistakes in the court?"

Yongqing couldn't help but smile and said, "This, with the master here, I feel at ease. Now the northwest is stable, and the Japanese pirates are too busy to take care of themselves. Master, you don't have to work hard to fight everywhere, right?"

Yang Cong smiled wryly and shook his head, "Your Majesty, I'm afraid it's not good. You should have heard that in the early years of Jiajing, in Xicaowan, the Ming Dynasty, I, the Ming Dynasty, had a large-scale naval battle with the Folang Jiren. That time, the Ming Dynasty won, but we cannot take it lightly, because it was just the pioneer of the Folang Jiren's pathfinding, and their large troops had not come yet."

When Yongqing heard this, he couldn't help but be surprised and said, "Oh, is Folang Ji very powerful? The Ming Dynasty did not offend them. Why did they come to attack the Ming Dynasty?"

Yang Cong sighed slightly and said, "The thinking of these people cannot be judged by common sense. Simply put, they are just robbers. They all want to rob anything. Our Ming Dynasty did not offend them. However, our Ming Dynasty is vast and has a large population and abundant resources, which really makes them jealous."

Eyes?

This reason is really weird.

Yongqing was stunned for a moment, then suddenly said: "No wonder, two months ago, a vassal state, Luzon, wrote a letter to ask for help, saying that Hongmao Fan had robbed their land for no reason. They really couldn't resist it, so they wanted to ask the Ming Dynasty to take action and drive Hongmao Fan away."

Luzon?

Red-haired aphrodisi?
