When Zhong Jinwei heard it, this request also involved national policy, which seemed to be not simple.He frowned slightly, opened his nostrils slightly, and asked Cai Lin in a deep voice, "What's the matter?"

"Duke, I went to Nanyang in the Ming Dynasty and there are many people. But living in Nanyang is extremely difficult, especially in recent decades."

Cai Lin thought it was too fast to say this, so she immediately added: "These people who went to Nanyang were forced to go to Nanyang to ask for a living during the drought years. Although it is not very good to go to the feudal country, but so It can also reduce the burden of the imperial court's disaster relief. This..."

Zhong Jinwei smiled in his heart when he heard this, and immediately waved his hand and said, "How many of the Ming people who went to Nanyang were forced to do so, and how many were chasing profits. It goes without saying. I am not a pedantic person, and I will not hold them accountable for fleeing from Daming." crime."

When Cai Lin heard that Duke Xingguo was so eloquent, he couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief. He immediately went on to say: "Nanyang has been occupied by Western barbarians one after another, and then I saw that I have a large number of Chinese people, and I am jealous because of my hard work. Not only They demanded too much from my Chinese people, and even organized massacres of my Chinese people many times..."

When Cai Lin said this, her voice became low and her emotions gradually became angrier: "The Chinese people in Nanyang are like duckweed without roots, without a backbone; they are like fish on a chopping board, and they are slaughtered by humans. They want to return to Ming Dynasty, but because of All kinds of problems and no return."

In order to look at Zhong Jinwei, Cai Lin suddenly raised her voice again, and said emotionally: "If the Ming Dynasty revives the overseas policy of the Yongle period, sends a fleet to patrol the Nanyang countries, and promotes the prestige of the Ming Dynasty, then the western barbarians and aboriginals will never dare to do it again." Make things difficult for me Chinese people. This is what the Nanyang Chinese people have hoped for for many years, and please consider it.”

After Cai Linwei finished speaking, Li Suiqiu immediately added: "As long as the imperial court can re-send the fleet to patrol the countries in Nanyang to deter the Western barbarians and the aborigines, the Chinese people in Nanyang will do their best to collect as much food as the imperial court wants."

After both of them finished speaking, they knelt on the ground, looked up at Zhong Jinwei, and watched Zhong Jinwei's demeanor nervously.

The needs of the Chinese people in Nanyang actually coincided with the Southeast Asian strategy that Ming was implementing.However, Zhong Jinwei did not immediately show ecstasy, but a pensive look.

After a while, he said to the two people kneeling on the ground: "I have also heard about the unfair treatment of Chinese people in Nanyang. It is said that tens of thousands of Chinese people were massacred at one time in Luzon Island." , I was also very angry when I heard it."

However, Zhong Jinwei immediately changed the subject and said to the two of them: "At that time, the imperial court did not seek justice for the Chinese people. It was not that the imperial court didn't want to, but it couldn't. Nothing can be done."

The two people kneeling on the ground actually disapproved of Zhong Jinwei's statement in their hearts.Especially Cai Linwei, many of his family were officials in the court.Regarding the reaction of the imperial court to the Nanyang massacre during the Wanli period, all the inside stories are known.

Although it may be the factor that Zhong Jinwei said at the time, it is definitely not the main factor.But now that Xing Guogong said so, they will not argue.

Zhong Jinwei said these words, in fact, to give the court a face and pave the way for what he will say next.As for the words just now, it doesn't matter whether the two of them believe it or not.

Just listen to Zhong Jinwei continue to say: "Now the imperial court is trying its best to quell the chaos in the north and solve the Mongolian and Jianlu problems. But the price is also a lot. The treasury was empty before, and now it is poor and empty. But God doesn't take care of it. Floods in the south and drought in the north. The southwest is not peaceful, and wars may have to be fought for a few more years. This will cost countless money and food. The imperial court is trying its best to do domestic affairs well, but it is still unable to do what it wants."

As a Daming person, especially as a member of the upper class of Daming, he is basically aware of these difficulties.Therefore, when they heard Duke Xing Guo mention these things, they couldn't help but sigh in their hearts.

However, Zhong Jinwei's mood became better at this time, and he sat up a little bit straighter, and continued: "I can tell you something that has not been officially made public, that is, after the situation in China has improved, the emperor decided to treat Nanyang When the Western Barbarians go to war, all the vassal states that no longer obey Ming Dynasty as the suzerain will also be punished."

Seeing Cai Linwei and Li Suiqiu's expressions turned into surprise, Zhong Jinwei smiled in his heart, and continued to tease them: "If you are careful, you should be able to see that the court has already had this idea."

After Zhong Jinwei finished speaking, he pointed to Zheng Zhilong beside him and said, "Da Ming set up a Naval Academy for this purpose, appointed Zheng Feihuang, who has rich experience in naval warfare, as the deputy head, and shipyards around the world are also working hard to build naval warships. And last time The imperial court has issued a notice to hunt down the Dutch in the Jiangnan and Western Barbarian Rebellion. These are actually the imperial court's intentional measures in Nanyang, I wonder if you two have paid attention to it?"

It's one thing to pay attention to it yourself, but it's another thing to say it out of the mouth of the Duke.Cai Lin nodded excitedly for Li Suiqiu. It seems that the court's overseas national policy is really changing.

Although Li Suiqiu is just a Juren, his mind is still very flexible.He contacted Duke Xingguo to explain the context, and he didn't need Zhong Jinwei to guide him, so he knelt there, clasped his fists to Zhong Jinwei and said, "Nanyang Huaxia people will definitely support Daming to overcome the immediate difficulties, whether it is money or food, those who are capable will definitely not Sorry. Please let the country publicize the specific matters, so students can write to Nanyang and let them do their best to prepare."

Cai Linwei also nodded, the excitement on her face was beyond words.

After hearing this, Zhong Jinwei slapped the table and stood up, looked down at the two of them and said, "Okay, if the Chinese people in Nanyang have such a heart, the imperial court will not let them down. Whatever difficulties they have, the imperial court can solve them for them now, and they will definitely solve them." Do your best to solve it!"

After finishing speaking, Zhong Jinwei said helplessly: "Everyone get up and talk, let's discuss a charter together, and implement the matter as soon as possible, so that the court can settle the domestic affairs as soon as possible, and send troops to Nanyang as soon as possible."

Cai Linwei and Li Suiqiu were not polite, and immediately got up to discuss with Zhong Jinwei how the Nanyang Huaxia people donated money and food.

After about an hour, there was finally a result.In order for Cai Lin and Li Suiqiu to contact other gentry with relatives and friends in Nanyang, they mobilized as many Chinese people in Nanyang as possible to raise money and food for Ming Dynasty.

But Zhong Jinwei wrote the matter in a memorial in front of the two of them, and asked Gu Baichuan to rush it to the capital to report to the Emperor Ming.

After all the arrangements were made, Zhong Jinwei was ready to take the young woman and her family to the Shibo Department to investigate the case of Sun Chuanting's embezzlement and seizure of soldiers' compensation money.
