Regarding Song Que's remarks, Song Xuan smiled slightly and took out a globe from the drawer of the table.
This was done by Zhou Zhiruo and his three daughters when he was bored.
In the last world, the three of them traveled around the world with him. I can't say that they visited every corner of the world, but they still knew several continents and oceans very clearly, and they drew the general outline of the world.
"My dear, the layout needs to be enlarged. Don't always think about the Turkic Goguryeo. Come, I will show you something. This is called a globe. Take a closer look. This is the territory of my Wu Dynasty.
This is Goguryeo, and this is Turkic."
Song Xuan pointed at the globe a few times, indicating to Song Que to watch it.
Song Que stared at the globe for a long time, his expression changed again and again, and he said in surprise: "Your Majesty, our Dawu Dynasty only has this small territory, and it is not as big as the Turks?"
Song Xuan nodded and said: "Now do you understand what it means to sit in a well and look at the sky? For thousands of years, our Chinese nation has been fighting life and death on the land of the Central Plains. As a result, compared to the entire world, this territory is small and pitiful.
!”
Song Que kept turning the globe, his face changing from shock to solemnity, and then he started to become excited.
When he reaches the realm of a great master, apart from advancing further in the path of the sword, there are very few things that can arouse his excitement.
But now, he has discovered a career that he can pursue for the rest of his life!
Song Xuan glanced at him and said lightly: "Weren't you all guessing before about why I appeared out of thin air without any trace before? That's because I haven't stayed in the Central Plains at all in these years, but traveled thousands of miles.
I walked through all the countries in the world, and then I figured out the outline of the entire world and made this globe!"
Hearing this, Song Que solemnly adjusted his robes, then bowed deeply.
"Compared to your Majesty's unification of the world, I believe that this globe is the greatest contribution your Majesty has made to our Chinese nation! It is not an exaggeration to call this object a sacred weapon that can control the country. With it, our Martial Dynasty will
Now we have a clear goal to strive for!”
Song Xuan smiled and said: "Since you like it, you can take it back to the craftsmen to make a few more. The important officials in the court will give one to them one by one, and tell them that the pattern should be bigger, the vision should be longer-term, and there will be opportunities to expand territory, ennoble marquises, and generals."
There are still more!”
"Your Majesty, I obey the order!" Song Que naturally had no objection. At this moment, his mind was filled with how to command the army to conquer the territories on the globe one by one and make them the territory of the Wu Dynasty.
After pondering for a moment, Song Xuan suddenly spoke again: "Ai Qing, how is Song Shidao's ability to lead troops?"
Song Shidao, Song Que's son, had met him in the Song family in Lingnan before. His character and talents were quite good, and Song Xuan was quite impressed by him.
Since he was looking for a suitable successor, a young hero like Song Shidao was naturally included among his candidates.
Also included as a candidate is Li Shimin of the Li family.
As for his two cheap disciples, Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling, forget it. It's enough to live peacefully and comfortably as cultivators of immortality.
As for running the country and playing politics, the two of them together can't beat the old foxes of these wealthy families.
Song Que said truthfully: "Shi Dao has been trained as the successor of the Song Dynasty since he was a child. Your Majesty has no need to doubt his ability. I still have confidence in this!"
Song Xuan nodded and said: "In that case, I will issue an order to order him to start building a navy. After the navy is formed, let him lead the army from the East China Sea, all the way south along the coast, and visit all the countries in the South China Sea.
Although those small countries cannot compare with the vastness of China, they still need many things."
With that said, Song Xuan pointed to the Japanese country on the map and said: "This Japanese country is a small country, but its volcanoes erupt frequently and are rich in sulfur, gold, silver, etc., which are all the raw materials our Wu Dynasty needs.
Like here."
Song Xuan pointed to the small country in Southeast Asia and said: "They have some crops that are extremely easy to grow and can even be planted in dry lands, and the yields are extremely high.
If it can be planted on a large scale in our Wu Dynasty, the situation of people starving to death and freezing to death in the past years will be greatly reduced, or even completely eliminated!"
Crops such as potatoes, corn, and sweet potatoes, as long as Song Xuan reigned as emperor, he would definitely find a way to get them.
If you can buy it, buy it, if you can't buy it, grab it. In short, if you want to do something that is beneficial to the people, you must not be constrained by the so-called etiquette country.
Having been the emperor for two generations, he knows better than anyone that these foreigners have always feared power but not virtue. No matter how many good words you say, it is better to beat them first!
"Your Majesty's sage far surpasses the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors. He is truly a saint descended from heaven. He is a blessing to the people!" Song Que sighed subconsciously.
"Oh? Aiqing has also learned to flatter you? This is not your character!" Song Xuan joked.
"I'm just saying this because of my feelings. I'm not flattering you. I just want to thank Your Majesty on behalf of the people of the world." Song Que said sincerely: "I have seen more than one or two of you, but I am the only one who really cares about the people in my heart."
One person!"
Song Xuan waved his hands and said: "Okay, just say these two words. I never care about these false names!"
After hearing this, Song Que immediately changed the subject, pointed to the map on the globe, and said: "Your Majesty, to be honest with you, these territories are not difficult to conquer with an army of 100,000 warriors. It is rare that the subsequent imperial court takeover, people's migration and other issues will arise.
To complete the true unification, I’m afraid it will take a hundred years!”
Song Xuan naturally agreed with Song Que's remarks. After all, in this era of cold weapons where firearms had not yet been applied to the military, an army of 100,000 warriors was simply the torrent of steel in this era, unstoppable and indestructible!
"Your Majesty, after incorporating various major territories into the territory of our Wu Dynasty, how do you plan to deal with the customs and culture of each place?"
Song Xuan smiled and said: "What did the First Emperor do back then?"
"Books share the same text, cars share the same track, and weights and measures are unified!"
"Then just do as you're told. Customs and habits can be preserved appropriately, but the writing and language must be unified, with our Wu Dynasty Mandarin as the main one!"
At this point, he couldn't help but sigh, "It has been very difficult for our Chinese people for thousands of years. We have some troubles. We can solve them now if we can, so as not to leave too much trouble for future generations. Let them relax.
A little bit is a little bit!”
Song Que nodded in surprise. He always felt that when His Majesty said these words, there was an indescribable feeling of fatigue, as if he remembered something unpleasant and made him feel exhausted.
His guess was correct, Song Xuan did think of some unhappy things.
I remember that back then, Song Xuan was still an ordinary person, but he was tortured to death by English Level 4!
Now that times have changed, he wants those Westerners to take the Chinese test for Level 4, 6, or 80 in the future!
