Chapter five hundred and ninety-eight conflict of interest

In the study, Li Jie frowned and sat behind the desk, his fingers unconsciously tapping on the table, and on the table in front of him was a letter written by Zhu Di to him.

Originally, Li Jie thought this was just an ordinary letter, but after opening it, he found that Zhu Di actually gave him a problem.

On the way back to Beijing from Nanjing, Lan Yu once mentioned something to Li Jie, that is, Zhu Di wanted to imitate martial arts and build a school specially used to train naval generals. After all, his focus is shifted to the ocean now, and his subordinates have a great demand for naval talents, so he came up with this idea.

However, Zhu Di is also facing a difficulty now, that is, he has no experience in running schools, and he has few talents in Goryeo and lacks talents in this area, so he wants to ask Zhu Yunhuang for help. After all, martial arts experience is ready-made, and the Ming Dynasty is not short of talents. As long as Zhu Yunhuang nods, he can help Zhu Di quickly build this school of naval generals.

But now Zhu Yunxiu obviously hesitated about Zhu Di's proposal, and even summoned Lan Yu and the others to the palace to discuss, but in the end he did not discuss a result. It is estimated that Zhu Di had been waiting for a long time and had not waited for the news, so he wrote a letter to Li Jie, wanting him to help in this matter.

From Li Jie's original intention, he really hoped to see this school that specializes in training naval generals. Even when he thought that this school could not be limited to training naval generals, but could also offer special navigation courses to cultivate more navigation talents and promote the navigation industry of the Ming Dynasty.

In addition, Li Jie also knew that in the distant West, Joao I, the founder of the Avish dynasty in Portugal, was an extremely incredible ruler. He not only calmed down the unrest in the country, but also began to march towards the ocean.

The most famous move of Joao I was to create a special navigation school with his son Henry I, which cultivated a large number of talents for the Western era of navigation. It can be said that it was from Joao Isaiah that the great geographical discovery in the West officially began.

Therefore, the Ming Dynasty must not be behind. Martial arts have shown the power of its professional school, and a sailing school should have been put on the agenda. Even if Zhu Di doesn't say it, Li Jie will also propose to Zhu Yunxi. However, now that Zhu Di is mixed, things have become complicated.

Zhu Yunxiu's identity is completely different. He is now the ruler of the Ming Dynasty, so naturally everything has to be considered from the perspective of rule, and he is still very qualified in this regard.

It is precisely because of the change in identity that Zhu Yunyu's views on some things are different from Li Jie. For example, in the Naval School, what Li Jie first considers is the impact of this matter on the entire Chinese nation. It can be said that standing at the height of the nation, this matter is absolutely beneficial or harmless.

But it was completely different for the emperor Zhu Yunxie, because the first thing he considered was the impact of this incident on the country of the Ming Dynasty. Although Zhu Di was his fourth uncle and the two had a good relationship in the past, their personal relationship could not conceal the differences in interests in this matter.

For Zhu Yunxiu, Zhu Di can be said to be the most powerful vassal king. Neither Zhu Ren from Japan nor Zhu Zhen from Annan could compare with Zhu Di in terms of strength.

The most important thing is that Goryeo where Zhu Di is located is too close to Beijing City. If Zhu Di can defeat the Ming Dynasty's navy, he can even land from Taijin Port and attack Beijing City. By then, Zhu Yunqiu may not have time to escape.

Of course, Zhu Di's naval strength is still relatively weak now, at least it cannot be compared with the Ming Dynasty's navy, so the threat to the Ming Dynasty is still limited. However, if a naval school is opened, Zhu Di's naval strength will definitely make a leap, even surpassing the Ming Dynasty's navy.

As the saying goes, "How can you let others sleep peacefully on the side of the bed?" Zhu Yunyu was also an emperor, so he naturally couldn't stand a force near Beijing City that threatened him, so he was unwilling to help Zhu Di establish a naval school.

Li Jie also understood Zhu Yunxi's choice very well. Even if he was sitting in Zhu Yunxi's position, he would probably make the same choice. Therefore, Li Jie was so embarrassed when he saw Zhu Di's letter, because he didn't know how to persuade Zhu Yunxi?

"What should I do? Could it be that I just give up the idea of ​​building a naval school?" Li Jie thought for a long time and finally murmured to himself, but as soon as he said that, he showed a look of unwillingness.

Nowadays, whether it is the sea, Goryeo, Annan, and Japan, they urgently need a large number of sailing talents. However, the current sailing still relies on the backward method of master-apprentice teachings to cultivate talents. Not only is the experience scattered, but the number of talents cultivated is also scarce, which is completely unable to meet the needs of all aspects.

So the only way is to recommend that professional schools in navigation should cultivate batches of professional talents like training generals to make up for this gap. Therefore, the matter of sailing schools must be put on the agenda.

"The nautical school must be built, but the suspicion on Yun's side must be dispelled. Is the only way to eliminate the fourth uncle and the imperial court to build the school alone?" Li Jie said to himself again at this time.

Originally, if Zhu Di had not participated, the navigation school would not be so difficult. Just Zhu Yunyu nodded. So now there is a way, which is to kick Zhu Di out and the court will work hard to run the school. In this way, the talents cultivated will be used by the Ming Dynasty, so Zhu Yunyu naturally doesn't have to worry.

But this will also have a problem. After all, the idea of ​​the Navigation School was proposed by Zhu Di. If he was kicked out now, it would definitely make Zhu Di feel dissatisfied, and at the same time, it would also make Zhu Di understand that Zhu Yunqiu had become afraid of him.

If this is really reached, the situation may be even worse. Zhu Di might not have any other thoughts about Zhu Yunxie, but if he did this, it would definitely arouse Zhu Di's resentment. At that time, it would not only affect the relationship between the uncle and nephew, but also affect the interaction between the Ming Dynasty and Goryeo. You should know that in the imperial era, the personal feelings of a ruler can also affect the direction of the country.

"I can't get to this point unless I have to!" Li Jie finally shook his head in distress and denied his thoughts.

But at this moment, I suddenly heard someone knocking on the door outside the study room, and the door was pushed open. Zhu Xueqing walked in. When she saw Li Jie frowned, she couldn't help but smile and asked, "Brother-in-law, have you just repaired the railway? It's the time to relax. Why are you frowning again now?"
