"You all retreat!" Emperor Wanli knew that this method might be a bit horrible, and more people should not know it, so he repelled the eunuchs and palace maids who were serving each other and quietly waited for Li You's method.

"Your Majesty, I think I can follow the old tricks of the Shang and Zhou dynasties and feudal princes to control these newly acquired overseas territories." Li You put forward his own plan, "Since it is very difficult for the court to control these overseas territories by itself, it is better to grant them to royal clans, nobles, and meritorious ministers, and order them to govern themselves. Although these places have great potential, they cannot be separated from the support of our Ming Dynasty in a short period of time. The court only needs to control them through aid and commercial exchanges to earn money for the Ming Dynasty.

Rich interests; this move can solve the problem of increasing number of royal families and increasing pressure on the court to support; secondly, it can expand wealth to alleviate the financial shortage of the court; thirdly, it can differentiate the ministers and alleviate the pressure that the court has to face when expanding maritime trade; fourthly, it can solve the problem of increasing serious land annexation in the Ming Dynasty. Overseas land is far more than our Ming Dynasty. Even if the people in China have no land, they can go overseas to ask for a meal, and it will not be as good as the rise of the rise."

Emperor Wanli's expression suddenly became serious when he heard this. Only then did he realize the reason why Li You wanted to avoid the eunuchs and palace maids. If this plan was leaked, I am afraid that all the officials in the court would have had a big fuss.

Just as his face was uncertain and careful consideration of this plan, Li You threw a shocking sentence over, "I know that Your Majesty has long wanted King Fu to replace the position of the crown prince, but it has been delayed due to the obstacles of the officials in the court. If Your Majesty was the first to enthrone, the voices of opposition from the officials in the court would probably be smaller; and as long as you choose a wealthy place for King Fu to develop, if there is something wrong with the Central Plains in the future, the King Fu can also return to the army to provide assistance, which is not without it in the future." This sentence is already very bold, and the last few words should not be said, but Emperor Wanli must have understood the meaning.

"Bold!" Emperor Wanli was also shocked by his words. He was furious and repelled Li You, but when he calmed down and then carefully pondered Li You's suggestions, he felt that it seemed very feasible.

First of all, Li You expanded the feudal extras to the royal family, nobles and important officials of the court. This is a reward for splitting the earth. I believe many people will be quite moved. In this way, he has faced much less pressure, and the territory he wants to divide is overseas, without any damage to the interests of the Ming Dynasty, but can solve a lot of trouble for the Ming Dynasty and gain a lot of benefits. It can be said that there are many benefits.

Secondly, Emperor Wanli was not worried about controlling these lands that were enfeoffed. When the Ming Dynasty founded, the Mu family was enfeoffed in Yunnan, which was not much different from what Li You said about the enfeoffment. After so many years, no trouble occurred in the Mu family.

The benefits of expanding wealth, solving the support of the royal family, and giving people displaced due to land annexation a place to go, also made Emperor Wanli quite moved. These problems have gradually made the court breathless. If all these problems can end, the Ming Dynasty will surely usher in Zhongsheng, and he has no doubt about this at all.

In the end, although he couldn't bear to leave King Fu's side, since King Fu's now has no way to inherit the throne of Prince Dangshen, it would not be a wise choice for him to stay in the Central Plains. Maybe it would be better to go overseas. Just as Li You said, if something happened in the Central Plains in the future, the descendants of King Fu's may still have the opportunity to ascend to the throne of the Nine Five, which is a fulfillment of his wish.

A few days later, Li You was summoned to the palace again and secretly discussed with Emperor Wanli for several days. After that, Emperor Wanli suddenly issued an imperial edict, appointing Li You as the general of the Nanyang Navy and ordered him to help establish a new naval army. So the long-sanctified Liujiagang Shipyard was opened again, and new warships built imitated by Western warships began to be built; various artillery factories, musket factories, iron smelting plants and other factories began to be built in Foshan and other places.

All the officials of the court criticized this, but Emperor Wanli did not work in the Ministry of Revenue in this move, but instead supported the expenses from the wealth plundered from Japan. They had no good idea for the time being.

Li You drew elite personnel from the Zheng family army stationed in Japan to enrich the skeleton of the Nanyang Navy. In a short time, he trained an elite soldier. After the ship was built and the artillery was placed properly, he immediately launched an attack on Nanyang. How could those native barbarians be the opponents of the Ming army? They were soon occupied by the Ming Dynasty.

When the good news came, Emperor Wanli rarely appeared in the court and immediately issued an order to enthrone the newly occupied land to King Fu, and assigned him enough troops and staff, and ordered him to rush to Nanyang to take office. When the imperial edict was issued, hundreds of officials in the court suddenly lost their voices, and the British Duke and other nobles refused to mention it. The noble families had already received news from Emperor Wanli, and knew that there would be a pie for them in the matter of ceasing, so how could they object?

Those civil officials had long been impatient with the struggle between King Fu and the prince. Although they felt that this matter was not in line with the ancestral system, they were not easy to object when they thought that they could solve the position of the prince once and for all. So the matter was reached. Except for King Fu's mother who cried to Emperor Wanli several times, almost no one opposed it.

After Li You settled King Fu, he did not stop attacking. The islands in Nanyang were attacked by him. The royal princes and nobles were enfeoffed to various parts of Nanyang. At the beginning, people regarded this as punishment. However, soon after, the rich minerals were gradually discovered in the fiefs of these people. Coupled with the land that was mature in a year and the hardworking and brave Han people, these places were gradually managed with great success and became a rare paradise.

The court's atmosphere changed drastically, and the civil servants tried every means to participate, wanting to gain a piece of land for their family, more warships were built and more troops joined the navy. If it weren't for knowing that the Westerners' gold and silver were transported from South America at this time, the Ming Dynasty even planned to completely solve them.

However, even so, the expansion of these Westerners in Asia was quickly restricted by the Ming Dynasty. When the Indians came, Siam and the South China Islands gradually became the sphere of influence of the Ming Dynasty. It would be fine if these Westerners were doing business seriously. If they had bad intentions, they would immediately be attacked by the Ming Dynasty.
