From Zhu Youxiao's tone, it seemed that he didn't think he had done anything wrong at all, but felt that he had achieved his goal with one trick, and he was quite proud of it.
He asked uncertainly: "Do you think you have done anything wrong?"
Cui Chengxiu said: "I am wrong.
In fact, I can exchange the Emperor of Li Dynasty for more benefits, but I am only satisfied with rice and docks, and we have to build the docks ourselves.
I am still not brave enough, and my heart is not ruthless enough.
Oh, what a great opportunity, wasted like this.”
Zhu Youxiao then asked: "Don't you think it's wrong to deceive the vassal state?"
Cui Chengxiu said with surprise on his face: "Your Majesty, Annan, oh, the South Vietnamese are just barbarians.
I don't think there is anything wrong with deceiving them."
Zhu Youxiao looked at the cabinet ministers next to him, and saw that everyone seemed to think Cui Chengxiu's words made sense.
Only Xu Guangqi frowned but did not speak.
Sun Chuanting moved his lips twice, but gave up.
Zhu Youxiao was a little unsure, so he asked: "Master Ye, is there no problem in deceiving the barbarians?"
Ye Xianggao smiled and said: "Your Majesty, etiquette is only useful for a etiquette country like China.
The South Vietnamese people themselves do not understand etiquette, so I think there is no problem in deceiving them."
Zhu Youxiao didn't expect that there was such a saying.
It turns out that Confucianism also pays attention to what people eat.
For savages, it is possible to deceive.
But when Zhu Youxiao thought about it carefully, it made some sense.
Talking about trustworthiness with people who don't talk about trustworthiness is a corrupt Confucian approach.
Fang Congzhe said: "In the previous Mo Dynasty, when they couldn't defeat the Zheng family, they began to seek help from the Ming Dynasty.
However, as soon as the Zheng family was under little pressure, they began to take advantage of us.
What happened to He Zhongwei last time is proof.
Such a capricious person is a liar."
He deserves to be cheated."
Zhu Youxiao said: "Why do I always feel that I have some enemies?
South Vietnam has now completely surrendered to the Ming Dynasty.
It always makes me feel bad to deceive them.
We cannot use dishonesty to deal with them just because they have been dishonest."
He.
Will this chill the country’s heart?”
Xu Guangqi said: "Your Majesty, in my opinion, King Mo really wants to join the Ming Dynasty this time.
Although Cui Yushi deceived them about an unimportant matter, I always feel that this method is not fair, and in the future We must also be careful not to regard them as barbarians, but as a country of etiquette enlightened by the king."
Sun Chuanting said: "Your Majesty, South Vietnam ceded part of its land to us this time.
It also allocated land in the country for the Ming Dynasty to immigrate to and stationed troops for surveillance.
Such good conditions are really rare in a century.
I am afraid that this matter will affect our relationship with the Ming Dynasty.
Regarding our diplomatic relations with South Vietnam, could you please ask Cui Yushi to explain to Prince Mo?"
Zhu Youxiao thought this suggestion was good and was about to agree.
I heard Wei Zhongxian muttering next to him: "We still need to explain to them.
If you lie to them, you will lie.
It's just a small country.
If you don't obey, you'll be beaten."
Zhu Youxiao said angrily: "Do you know that fighting will solve the problem?
Do you think Mo Jingkuan really wants to fight us?

Can we fight with just a few thousand soldiers?
The terrain and climate there are basically impossible."
It is not suitable for us to fight for a long time.
If we can get what we want without fighting, then why should we use my Chinese son's life to fill it?
Remember, war is a continuation of politics and cannot be solved by other means. , then we should consider war, not first.”
Wei Zhongxian quickly knelt down and apologized: "Your Majesty, slaves should not discuss the government arbitrarily.
Please forgive me, Your Majesty."
Zhu Youxiao said with a straight face: "You are eunuch Bingbi, and no one said that you have arbitrary opinions on government affairs.
It's just that your idea of thinking about fighting first when you want to solve anything is very dangerous.
I have heard a saying "For people who are used to using hammers, everything looks like a nail, which is not good."
Wei Zhongxian said: "My servant is ignorant, so I said nonsense.
I ignored the Lord's intention.
I will think about it first before speaking when encountering problems in the future."
As soon as the two men sang the double act, all the officials knew what the emperor meant.
So everyone quickly agreed and asked Cui Chengxiu to explain the situation to Mo Jingwan and give an explanation, which should calm the anger of the South Vietnamese.
Zhu Youxiao said: "Dear dear friends, I think that in the future we should not make the mistakes of factory ministers.
If you can get something without war, then try not to use war.
In the past, people often told me that soldiers are unlucky, but now We have some advantages in Japan, Liaodong, and the South China Sea.
Everyone seems to think that war is a good thing because it can get a lot of benefits.
But now I want to tell you that war is just a means, do not start it just for the sake of war.
War.
Especially Qin Tianjian told me that the weather will get colder and colder, and the crops will be affected more and more, and our only way is to go south, south, so that we can get the food we need. .
The situation in the south is complicated.
If we rely solely on war, we will go to war with many countries.
Even if we can win in the end, the cost will be very high.
Therefore, I believe that we can only consider using other methods if they fail. means of war."
All the ministers bowed together and said: "I will obey the Holy Instructions."
Xu Guangqi said: "Your Majesty, I feel that in addition to developing southward, we should also promote new cold-resistant and drought-resistant crops across the country, such as sweet potatoes, potatoes and corn."
Zhu Youxiao nodded and said: "Sun Gebu has been promoted very well in Shaanxi, and immigrants from southern Liaoning are also breeding in large numbers.
However, the promotion situation in Beizhili and Shanxi is not very good.
Only 10% of Beizhili reported last time It’s no good to plant new crops in unreachable places.
Once the weather gets cold, it’s hard to predict the wheat harvest.”
Fang Congzhe said: "Your Majesty, why don't you order that 20% to 30% of new crops must be planted in places such as Beizhili and Shanxi?
There will be heavy penalties for those who fail to meet the requirements, and there will be rewards for those who do.
Will this be popularized soon?
Woolen cloth" Sun Chuanting said quickly: "Your Majesty, what the chief minister said makes sense.
Judging from my experience in Shaanxi, as long as the farmers have someone to buy it after they produce it, preferably at a fixed price, then everyone will automatically see the output.
It is required to plant them.
So it is important to do a good job in purchasing this year and let farmers see for themselves that the returns of planting new crops are higher than planting wheat, so that the new crops can be truly promoted."
Zhu Youxiao said: "Leave this matter to the agricultural cooperatives.
Write down the method in Shaanxi and ask the agricultural cooperatives to follow the rules and strive to increase the planting area of new crops to more than 20% next year.
In addition, I will issue a decree that the new crop planting area will be more than 20%."
If the reclaimed wasteland is continuously planted with new crops, it will be tax-free for ten years.
The reclaimed wasteland will be tax-free for only three years.
If there is a good thing about the tax exemption for ten years, I believe that the newly opened wasteland will be planted with new crops
