The Emperor had also pondered how to better control the foreigners and had a general idea which he was constantly refining. Yet Zhou Shuren's ideas were even more detailed, "Please, continue."
Zhou Shuren went on: "I believe we need to make foreigners realize that as soon as they land, they must follow our rules."
The Emperor liked what Zhou Shuren said and laughed heartily, "I do love to hear that."
Zhou Shuren frowned. Some ministers might not think so, with their talk about the land of propriety; he could already imagine the flurry of debate that would ensue once this was brought before the Imperial court.
Zhou Shuren sighed, "There are also a lot of details that need careful consideration; this matter cannot be rushed."
