I was the emperor in the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 265 The Future of the Princes
What does it mean to love a son more than a mother? I'm afraid it's okay like this.

If Li Tian was still the original Zhu Gaochi, he might have agreed with a smile.

After all, Zhu Zhanji can be regarded as outstanding among a kind of prince, no matter how he behaves in the world or his age and personality.

It stands to reason that any father would be happy to have such an excellent son.

But although Li Tian's body is still the original Zhu Gaochi, his soul has already been replaced by another person.

He does not agree that Zhu Zhanji is his own son from the bottom of his heart.

The queen took this opportunity to let her most valued son practice and practice, and there was no big problem in the first place.

But Li Tian had other plans for the future long ago, and he didn't intend to let Zhu Zhanji inherit his position at all.

But from what the queen said, he still had some taste problems.

That is the whole world, except for myself, everyone believes in it.

As long as nothing happens to Zhu Zhanji, he will definitely inherit his mantle in the future.

Even if I have my own son by then, if I want to pass on the throne to him, I'm afraid I will encounter great resistance.

Even the queen may stand on the opposite side of herself.

Thinking of this, Li Tian couldn't help shivering.

In this era when etiquette is greater than the sky, even if you are an emperor, some things can't work.

And the candidate for the successor is exactly one of them.

"This won't work, we must find a way to weaken everyone's view of Zhu Zhanji.

Otherwise, in the future, my son might not be able to fight him, the son of destiny. "

But how can he be ignored.

"Secretly find someone to kill him?"

"No, even if he dies, there are still eight or nine people watching behind him!

Moreover, this seems to be too cold-blooded, and I am not such a person who does not recognize my relatives, this method is not advisable! "

"Let him go out and become a feudal clan? That's even more ridiculous. He is the current prince. There is no reason for the prince to go out and become a feudal clan."

Thinking of Jiufan, his eyes suddenly brightened, and he thought of an idea that was not an idea.

It is impossible for Zhu Zhanji and others to go to the feudal clan and drive them all out of the capital.

Moreover, Li Tian had long planned in his heart to clean up the vassal kings who had already taken root in various places and were constantly sucking the blood of Daming one by one.

The reason why he didn't do it all the time was because he hadn't thought about how to arrange these vassal kings after they were cleaned up.

But just now, he had an idea and thought of a possibility that he himself thought was a fantasy.

The land of Ming Dynasty is limited, but the land outside of Ming Dynasty is unlimited.

For example, the North American continent was three to five times larger than the entire Ming Dynasty at this time, Australia, which was about the same size as the Ming Dynasty, and even the South American continent that had not been disturbed by Europeans.

These places will be good places in future generations.

Especially in North America, with the sea on both sides and flat terrain, it was once known as the most suitable treasure land for human reproduction.

Wouldn't it be a waste if such a large treasure was not utilized and allowed to be occupied by the barbarians in Europe?

Some people may ask at this time, those places are still barren, and Daming is not able to carry out large-scale migration activities at this time.

But Li Tian is not worried about this problem.

With his current improving physical condition, it is estimated that he will have no major problems in the position of emperor for another 30 to [-] years.

He didn't believe that Daming's status quo was still the same within such a long period of time.

As long as it takes three to five years to tinker with the steam engine, the steam ship will come into being.

With steam ships, you can go wherever you want in this world!

Silver in Japan, gold in North America, iron ore in Australia, guano in Peru, and copper in Chile.

Each one is enough to make people crazy, and each one is worthy of Ming's Armada to explore and conquer.

And in the process, the vampires of Old Zhu's family were driven outside one by one to open up a new world.

It can not only solve the problem of fiefdom, but also greatly promote the development of Daming.

Once this thing is really done, by then, the whole world will be filled with the people of Ming Dynasty.

The land of Ming Dynasty is everywhere, and only then can it be called the empire on which the sun never sets in the true sense.

Thinking of this, even Li Tian was a little excited by his bold and crazy idea.

Immediately, I couldn't help but want to call Zheng He and others to discuss with them the idea of ​​​​conquering the world.

However, dreams are always good, but reality is always cruel.

The birth of steam ships certainly meant a revolution in navigation technology, but the issues involved tested the overall industrial level of a country.

If you want to build a steamship, you must have a steam engine.

If you want to make a steam engine, you must have strong enough steel.

In order to make steel that meets the specifications, it is necessary to upgrade the existing steelmaking technology.

However, steelmaking technology is the cornerstone of all industries, and it can be realized so easily.

Although Daming's iron and steel smelting technology was number one in the world at this time, it was not comparable to other countries in terms of scale or output.

But there are two important problems.

One is that most of the iron smelting workshops in the Ming Dynasty were in the hands of private individuals, the so-called private workshops.

The state-run iron smelting workshops are not even one-tenth of the private ones in terms of scale or output.

The second is the quality issue.

Because iron-smelting technology and workshops are in private hands, and their biggest customer is not the imperial court, but ordinary people.

This made the scale of Daming's iron smelting far exceed that of previous dynasties.

But because most of them serve the common people, the common people have no requirements for steel, so most of the iron smelting workshops among the people are for iron smelting.

On the contrary, there has not been much progress in terms of scale or technology for higher quality steel.

The quality is still not up to Li Tian's requirements.

Li Tian felt that Daming might still have a long way to go if he wanted to reach a level that could bear the huge pressure of the steam boiler.

From the original complaint about too many memorials, it suddenly jumped to the expansion of territory and land, and then jumped to improving the level of iron smelting.

This huge bend made Li Tian almost fail to turn around.

I know in my heart that improving the industrial level of the entire Ming Dynasty is not something that can be done in a day or two.

His originally agitated heart slowly calmed down under the worried gaze of the queen.

"Your Majesty, what happened to you just now? Why did you suddenly froze? The concubine called you several times, but you didn't respond, but I frightened the concubine."

Li Tian held her in his arms lovingly, and said softly,
"Let Linger worry, I'm fine, it's just that something suddenly occurred to me."
