Chapter 404 Zhu Yuanzhang’s Greatest Compliment to Zhu Di!

It's approaching noon.

"King Yan wins again!"

"Before, many people in Jinling said that the Three Gorges mouth was difficult to fight. No matter what, King Yan will definitely encounter a tough battle at the Three Gorges mouth!"

"It was a tough battle. King Yan used his troops and fought for two days!"

"Haha... Lao Zhang, don't let those scholars hear your weird words."

…

News of the great victory at Sanxiakou spread back to Jinling.

The people of Jinling suddenly felt proud and elated.

Before the news of success came back, those scholars commented, saying that even if King Yan could conquer the mouth of the Three Gorges, he would still have to pay huge casualties.

When everyone heard about it, they discussed it in private.

The scholars heard it.

I even want to come together and call everyone stupid!

Are you saying that everyone blindly worships King Yan?

Some scholars go so far as to write analysis of war situations.

Leave it to the storyteller in the street wine shop to analyze it with great fanfare.

Describes the difficult and dangerous terrain at the mouth of the Three Gorges.

When it comes to King Yan's partial army, it is a coalition of princes. The princes have no experience in leading troops in war.

Some people even vaguely predicted that King Yan might encounter the biggest failure in his life.

Of course everyone didn't believe it.

But I can't stand it, what others say is clear.

Everyone began to worry about King Yan.

Now it turns out.

I really cannot listen to or believe what these scholars who like to be in the limelight say!

This type of scholar talks.

He said east, everyone should go west.

If he says left, everyone should go right!

…

Zhu Mansion.

"Sister, this time the reputation of scholars is bankrupt in the hearts of the people."

Xu Miaoyin hugged Jindouzi and laughed, "Now the people outside are talking about it. If the scholars say to go to the left, everyone should go to the right!"

Xu Miaoyun glanced at Wu Yunqige who was sitting next to her, and said with a smile and anger: "You are already married, don't be so joking."

After the news of the success of the Three Gorges Pass came back.

She also breathed a sigh of relief.

these years.

The political atmosphere of Ming Dynasty was very relaxed.

there are many reasons.

First of all, my father is more and more confident than before, and he is more tolerant of all kinds of voices.

Secondly, in the past few years, the imperial court has been making every effort to promote rural village communities and prepare for the Northern Expedition.

All require a relaxed political atmosphere.

If the political atmosphere is as tense as a ray of light.

There will inevitably be many people whose interests have been harmed, who will jump out to criticize rural communities and prepare for the Northern Expedition.

The political atmosphere is relaxed.

The imperial court does the imperial court.

Those whose interests have been harmed should be allowed to go to teahouses, restaurants, and bars and restaurants to complain.

People's emotions are vented through their mouths in teahouses, restaurants, and bars.

It's better to have this group of people whose interests were harmed and had nowhere to vent their emotions. In the end, they got into trouble and took the conflict to the court in an extreme manner.

Just like Shiro doing things in Fujian.

Gentlemen and scholars can scold him.

But we cannot interfere with or undermine Shiro's governance.

The great scholar Wu Hai undermined Shilang's governance, so he could only send Mr. Wu Hai to death.

But it is still just Wu Hai.

Other readers with feverish brains.

Except for being thrown to Dongfan to establish a rural village community, Shiro never punished anyone.

As a result, until now, many gentry and scholars in Fujian are scolding Shiro.

Merchants powerfully funded rural village societies and employee-shareholding research societies, except that they agreed with Shiro's ideas.

In fact, he also wanted to please Shiro.

By subsidizing scholars, we researched rural village cooperatives and the employee-employed shareholding system.

Expand the supporters of this idea among the readership community.

First, to please Shiro to counter Fujian's complaints and curses.

Secondly, this group of powerful merchants who benefited from the rural village communes and the employee-employed shareholding system and accepted this concept hoped to ensure that this concept would not be subverted by expanding the support of scholars.

…

In short, the overall political atmosphere is relaxed.

As a result, scholars in the Ming Dynasty were very active.

Just like in Jinling, many scholar opinion leaders have emerged.

These people quickly build up reputations by spreading their opinions, just taking shortcuts.

This time Shiro moved all the way to attack the mouth of the Three Gorges.

The people are very concerned.

For these opinion leaders who care about their hopes.

But it's a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

Be sure to speak out actively.

If the judgment is correct.

Your reputation will increase countless times in an instant.

In addition, some people in the court did not want Shiro to be too popular and wanted to pour cold water on the hearts of the people.

Let these opinion leaders actively publish their analysis on the Battle of Three Gorges Pass in the city, which will definitely be very difficult.

Moreover, many civil and military court officials who were objective and neutral predicted that the Three Gorges Pass would be difficult to fight.

So, inside Jinling City.

Public opinion regarding Shiro's conquest of the Three Gorges Pass was one-sided and pessimistic.

To say she is not affected.

That is impossible.

But, just like what Saraswati said.

This time, the scholar who was relatively famous in Jinling and acted as an opinion leader was a failure and fell into disgrace.

Of course, not everyone was pessimistic about Shiro's capture of the Three Gorges Pass.

An opinion leader named Jie Jin insisted that Shiro could not be trapped at the mouth of the Three Gorges.

no matter who.

She has no particular fondness for this group of opinion leaders.

Some people are young and like to be arrogant and make comments.

But he just refuses to work hard.

Some opinion leaders are even more disgusting.

For fame and fortune, they are raising their heads in disarray!

"Sister-in-law, these opinion leaders, the court doesn't care?" Wu Yunqige suddenly spoke.

When she first came to Daming.

There was no such situation.

In recent years, this situation has become more and more lively.

Sometimes, the things said by these so-called opinion leaders really make people hate them.

For example, half a year ago, my brother Zhu Culu led his troops back to the court.

There were suddenly more discussions about Zhu Culu.

And she suddenly became the object of these opinion leaders' comments.

She was just a captive.

This is Daming!

If it were the grassland, she would definitely ride a horse and take the knife. Even if she chased to the ends of the earth, she would chop off the heads of these gossiping guys!

Fortunately, after Zhu Culu came back.

These cowards suddenly stopped talking and dared not say a word.

Everyone in Daming knew that my brother Zhu Culu held my sister-in-law in his hands.

Xu Miaoyun looked at Wu Yunqige and said with a smile: "Silang said that although the voices of these opinion leaders with ulterior motives are disgusting, they can still cause some negative effects in the short term. In the long run, it is a good thing."

Xu Miaoyin and Wu Yunqige raised their beautiful eyebrows and looked at Xu Miaoyun in surprise.

Xu Miaoyun smiled and explained, "In fact, Silang was also inspired by Zhang Sanfeng, the real person. Zhang said that without black, it is impossible to prove the existence of white, and without evil, it is impossible to prove the goodness of truth, goodness and beauty."

"As long as the remarks with ulterior motives do not affect the overall situation and affect a little bit, there is nothing wrong. If there are ulterior motives, they will definitely be exposed. In the process of exposing and proving, the people will receive a practical education..."

When Silang was in Fujian, after being reminded by Zhang Zhenren.

He realized that this was a good way to educate and inspire the people.

It is not realistic to let all the people read and write.

No, even if they can read and write, they are not the same as fools.

Only one after another real things happened.

Even the illiterate people experienced it.

It can also teach you lessons.

Moreover, the people are illiterate.

They cherish experience and lessons more.

She couldn't judge.

How long can the relaxed atmosphere of the Ming Dynasty last?

But it is certain.

The foundation established by Silang overseas must gradually promote a relaxed atmosphere.

As long as it does not affect the overall situation, it can be used to educate the people and quickly master certain identification skills.

…

Governing a country is nothing more than ruling the people with ignorance or ruling the people with "enlightenment".

Silang obviously recognizes "enlightenment".

Governing the people with ignorance means that the people's wisdom is not enlightened.

Governing the world is simpler.

You can rule a group of people who have not enlightened.

People with ulterior motives are too easy to subvert.

They use outsiders to rule foreign people.

If you rule the people with ignorance.

It is easier to be used and subverted.

Some people who are hostile to them in the Ming Dynasty may go to support some failed elites in foreign countries, provoke ethnic conflicts, and subvert them under the banner of driving out outsiders.

The hidden dangers are so great.

It is better to directly enlighten the people.

First, in the territory under rule, the rural villages and hired labor share system were promoted.

The people were enlightened.

The lower-class people would always understand whether it was better to accept their rule or the rule of the original dynasty.

Economic benefits temporarily stabilized the people's hearts.

Then, the Central Plains culture packaged in the rural villages and hired labor share system was used to indoctrinate and assimilate the people from other regions.

At the same time, some foreign traditional cultures were absorbed.

At the same time, in some aspects that always affect everyone in daily life.

For example, clothing, hair accessories, and food.

Abandon the Ming culture, abandon foreign culture, and propose a brand new culture.

For example, split-style clothes in clothing.

For example, Silang recruited a group of cooks from Fujian.

Do nothing.

Specialize in new cooking methods.

Another example.

Jinzhong is leading a group of scholars to revise the pinyin proposed by Silang.

The pinyin she helped Silang to revise was based on the Jinling dialect.

The pinyin that is being revised now has different spoken pronunciations from different accents.

Some are similar to northern dialect.

But not completely.

In short, whether it is clothing, hair accessories, cooking, or "Mandarin accent", they will take the lead in the future.

Form a trend.

Finally, combine education.

Completely form a new Chinese culture!

So as to form the pride and recognition of this culture among all people in the ruling group.

In short, it is to do what the First Emperor did, the same writing system and the same wheel gauge again.

However, learn from the lesson of the First Emperor, who forcefully promoted the Qin system.

They will not force the Ming system.

Chinese culture should include rural villages, hired labor share system, new clothing, hair accessories, cooking, "Mandarin accent", and tolerate and absorb some unimportant foreign cultures that do not affect the overall situation.

Show the face of the new Chinese culture.

The First Emperor pushed the Qin system.

The people of the six countries strongly felt that the Qin system wanted to conquer them.

People have rebellious hearts.

And promote a new culture that is different from the Ming system, but the essence is Chinese culture.

It is not that they are a group of outsiders who conquer foreign people.

It is that the two cultures collided, tolerated and integrated, and a new culture was created.

It is just that Chinese civilization is better.

It occupies a dominant position!

This is more gentle, thus achieving the assimilation goal with the least hidden dangers and the least resistance.

So.

Yongming will inherit the foundation in the future.

There is no need to worry about too many hidden dangers, and the strong pressure of the volcano will erupt, repeating the end of the second emperor of the Qin Dynasty.

"Fourth Aunt..."

A head suddenly popped in from outside the door, interrupting Xu Miaoyun's thoughts.

Wuyunqige glared at Naren Tuoya.

Naren Tuoya smiled and said, "Navy Commander Yu is back and is asking to see Fourth Aunt outside the hall."

Yu Jing?

Xu Miaoyun was slightly stunned.

Then he stood up and walked to the outer hall with Xu Miaoyin and the other two.

Yu Jing came in with a few navy soldiers, carrying large and small bags, and saw the golden beans in Wuyunqige's arms, and smiled immediately.

When the golden beans grow up.

We must make the golden beans like their navy's strong ships and powerful guns!

To compete for favor with the army, we must use all our skills!

Bang!

After standing at attention and saluting, he pointed to the bags piled up on the ground, "Princess, these are some specialties from Dongfan and Luzon. When I left, Mingyue asked me to bring them to you."

Xu Miaoyun nodded with a smile and asked, "Did you enter the palace when you came back?"

Yu Jing shook his head.

Although the prince is not in Jinling.

But the princess is!

They are the navy of the Prince of Yan.

They are not the navy of the court.

They must come to see the princess first.

Xu Miaoyun frowned slightly.

Yu Jing hurriedly explained, "Princess, I have something to discuss with you."

Xu Miaoyun listened patiently.

"On the way back, I heard that after the prince's great victory in Zhangbei, the Fujian sea merchants who went north with him proposed to hold an expo to let the people of Jinling taste, try and observe overseas goods for free. After arriving in Jinling, they heard that the prince had a great victory at Sanxiakou. These powerful merchants became more determined to hold an expo. I dare not make decisions on my own..."

He knew the talent of their princess.

Everyone is originally a second-generation descendant of meritorious service.

The princess was very outstanding and famous when she was in the boudoir.

In recent years, the brothers who are not from Jinling and the people of Dongfan around the prince only feel that the prince holds the princess in his hands.

But only those who are familiar with the princess know.

If the prince really has something wrong.

The princess, a woman, can also support the foundation left by the prince!

Xu Miaoyun frowned slightly, nodded, and said after a little hesitation: "It is not a good idea to congratulate the prince on the great victory. Let's congratulate the court on the great victory and promote rare overseas goods. I will ask His Majesty to hold a free expo in Jinling..."

If it is just to congratulate Silang.

She will refuse without hesitation.

Silang does not need this limelight.

He cannot steal the show.

In this battle, the eldest brother is the protagonist.

However, the expo has many benefits.

The sea merchants want to develop a sales network for overseas goods in Daming.

Profit from it.

This is the plan of the sea merchants.

She hoped that the new things overseas could bring new atmosphere and economic benefits to the Ming Dynasty.

For example, fruits and vegetables such as bananas.

Spices.

The people can grow more food to fill their stomachs and enrich their daily food sources.

It can also create economic value.

If Silang were here, he would definitely find a way to promote this expo.

What Silang wants to do.

That's what she wants to do.

...

Yu Jing nodded repeatedly, but he was a little regretful.

They just wanted to congratulate the prince for his great victory.

However, he also knew the reason why the princess proposed to congratulate the great victory in the northern expedition.

"Princess, how about you and I go to the palace and ask His Majesty and His Majesty to agree to this expo, I..."

Yu Jing smiled and scratched his head.

He would definitely not be afraid of letting him sail and fight.

But this kind of thing is really difficult for him.

Worried about messing up.

Especially in front of the emperor.

Since he was a child, he was afraid of seeing the emperor.

Xu Miaoyun pondered for a moment, smiled and nodded, "Okay, it just so happens that I haven't been to the palace to pay my respects to His Majesty for a while..."

I didn't go to see the two little guys.

Especially the crazy girl Qi Huan.

She didn't stare at them.

The father and the mother spoiled this eldest granddaughter.

I don't know how crazy she is!

Yu Jing was immediately happy.

...

Xu Miaoyin and Wu Yunqige sent Xu Miaoyun out, and they were stunned.

Under the steps of the bedroom.

There was a huge wooden cage.

Narentuoya squatted beside it, curiously looking at the four colorful big birds in the cage.

She was teasing four very beautiful big birds.

Xu Miaoyun turned her head and looked at Yu Jing, "Is this a peacock?"

Yu Jing hurriedly explained: "Princess, it is a peacock, but it is a special peacock of Palawan Island. It was captured by the brothers stationed on Palawan Island and raised for several months. Only when they were sure that it could be raised, they asked me to bring it back and give it to Xiao Qihuan, not to Yongming. The prince should follow our navy and learn naval warfare. I will definitely not teach the prince to lose his ambition..."

Yu Jing hurriedly added.

Xu Miaoyin and Wu Yunqige were both amused.

Xu Miaoyun glanced at Yu Jing, shook her head helplessly and smiled.

If you want to talk about building relationships.

Yu Jing, the naval commander.

Compared to Tan Yuan, the commander of the first town of the army, he is a hundred times more shameless.

Tan Yuan is not from a wealthy family after all.

He is honest in doing things.

Not as shameless as Yu Jing.

She is 100% sure.

This is what Yu Jing ordered the navy soldiers stationed on Palawan Island to do.

"Don't do such flattering things in front of the prince anymore!" Xu Miaoyun laughed and cursed.

Yu Jing laughed sarcastically.

In other words, he is older than the princess.

Otherwise, he would imitate Geng Xuan and shamelessly call him brother-in-law!

No, Geng Xuan, that stinky and shameless person, has changed his name to the prince, princess, master and master.

People are more infuriating than people.

He is really dedicated to the development of the navy!

Xu Miaoyun saw that Naren Tuoya liked her so much, she smiled and said: "Leave two for the mansion, we will take two and send them to the main hall."

"Thank you, Fourth Aunt!"

Narentoya shouted sweetly.

Wu Yunqige rolled her eyes.

Watch Xu Miaoyun leave.

Narentoya turned around and said, "Miss, after my fourth uncle returns in triumph, His Majesty will tour the south. Let's go with him. When the time comes, we will go out to sea to have a look."

"Miss Wuyun, let's go together then. It seems that overseas is not a wild land." Xu Miaoyin invited with a smile.

…

"Zhu's carriage! Xu Miaoyun has entered the palace!"

When Xu Miaoyun's carriage passed the Liubu government office, it instantly alerted the Liubu officials.

The officials either opened the windows or poured out of the official rooms.

"The news of Zhu Silang's victory at the Three Gorges Pass came back not long ago. Is Xu Miaoyun entering the palace at this time?"

"Hmph! It must be Yin Chong who's here!"

"Hey! Look, Yu Jing! When will Yu Jing come back? Why don't we know any news?"

"Zushiro's navy is here again?"

…

All the officials were talking about it.

Xu Miaoyun held Jindouzi and sat in the carriage.

Even if she doesn't look.

She also knew that there were many pairs of eyes staring at her at this moment.

The carriage drove all the way outside the study.

The little eunuch on duty outside the door saw Xu Miaoyun lifting the curtain and trotting down the steps in a flattering manner, "Princess, Your Majesty heard the news that King Yan and the princes conquered the Three Gorges Pass and went to Kunning Palace. My maid will take you there. ?”

Xu Miaoyun nodded with a smile.

boom!

"Haha... Xiao Qihua, be careful!"

As soon as Xu Miaoyun's carriage approached the Kunning Palace courtyard, Zhu Yuanzhang's hearty laughter entered the carriage.

"Grandfather, grandmother, mother! Mother!"

Xiao Qihua was setting off firecrackers with an incense candle. When she saw the carriage, she recognized it at a glance, shouted and ran over happily.

Inside the pavilion.

Zhu Yuanzhang and Ma Xiuying stood up.

Standing beside him were three children, Zhu Xiongying, Zhu Gaochi and Zhu Yunwen.

Yong Ming also wanted to run over.

But he pursed his lips and held back.

There are many rules in the palace.

Unlike their home in Dongfan.

"Mom, my father won another great victory, and he also brought his fifth uncle and the others with him. The imperial grandfather was very happy. After hearing the news, he was so happy that he couldn't open his mouth from ear to ear..."

Zhu Yunwen watched Xu Miaoyun get off the carriage and chirped.

He huffed and clenched his little hands.

He had been looking forward to the news of his father's great victory.

Then in the main hall, show off in front of Zhu Qihua and Zhu Yongming.

But what was waiting for him was the news of another great victory for his fourth uncle.

Look how awesome Zhu Qihua is!

Since the good news came back.

This time, even the eighth uncle and his mother-in-law had just come to the imperial grandmother's palace, hugged Zhu Qihua and kissed her on the left cheek and the right cheek.

Zhu Qihua wiped his face in disgust.

Uncle Eighth and his mother-in-law were not angry at all.

He also praised Zhu Qihua with a smile.

He regretted that when he was in the main hall, his eldest brother asked him to come with him to his grandmother's palace, so why did he follow him?

Are you just here to see Zhu Qihua and Zhu Yongming being held in high esteem by the stars?

"Miaoyun pays homage to his father and queen."

Zhu Yunwen felt depressed and uncomfortable because of everyone's preference for Yongming and Qihua.

Xu Miaoyun came.

Ma Xiuying helped Xu Miaoyun up with a smile and complained: "As a family, what are you doing with all this nonsense?"

As he spoke, he couldn't wait to take the golden beans from Xu Miaoyun's arms.

"Mother, what is this?" Xiao Qihua stood at the back, next to the caged carriage, and asked loudly.

Zhu Yuanzhang and Ma Xiuying looked.

I saw two colorful peacocks in the cage.

Curious and walked quickly.

The three heroes also hurriedly followed.

"Yu Jing, a humble servant, pays homage to your majesty and empress!" Yu Jing saluted hurriedly.

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at the peacock in the cage and asked with a smile: "Did you bring this back from overseas?"

"Your Majesty, this is a kind of peacock found in Palawan Island. The brothers stationed in Palawan Island saw it and asked me to bring it back to show it to Your Majesty, the Empress, and the princes and princesses for fun."

snort!

Zhu Yuanzhang glanced at Yu Jing and smiled.

After taking a look, Xiao Qihua stood beside the carriage, excitedly teasing the peacock.

Don't think he doesn't know.

This peacock, Yu Jing mainly wanted to be filial to Xiao Qihua.

"Don't spoil our eldest granddaughter!" Zhu Yuanzhang warned, turned around and walked towards the pavilion.

The fourth child enters the palace.

He also took Yu Jing with him.

There must be something serious going on.

Children watch peacocks outside the pavilion.

The adults came to the pavilion.

After Xu Miaoyun sat down, he directly expressed his intention, "Father, this time Yu Jing returned to the court, there were dozens of merchant ships following him, bringing some overseas rare items. I heard about the success of my eldest brother's northern expedition, and wanted to congratulate the imperial court on the great success of the northern expedition. , use the goods brought back to hold an expo for free..."

Expo?

free?

How much does it cost?

Congratulate Biaoer on his great victory in the Northern Expedition?

This group of maritime merchants, as well as the naval officers led by Yu Jing, probably wanted to congratulate the Fourth Company on a great victory.

It was Miss Miaoyun who stopped their thoughts.

Instead, congratulations on the great victory of the Northern Expedition, right?

Zhu Yuanzhang and Ma Xiuying looked at each other with smiles and instantly guessed the joints.

"Maritime merchants want to open up the sales network of overseas goods in our Ming Dynasty, but my daughter-in-law thinks that this expo is actually very beneficial to our Ming Dynasty."

"First of all, the money earned by maritime trade must be distributed as dividends to the people of the Ming Dynasty who employed workers and had to pay taxes on maritime trade."

"Secondly, some new things overseas are also conducive to the new atmosphere of Ming Dynasty."

"Thirdly, some crops have a consumption base. After we introduced them in the Ming Dynasty, they can not only supplement the people's rations, but also create some economic benefits for the people. Shiro often said that when various supplementary foods among the people are extremely rich, they will also be very rich. To the greatest extent, reduce the consumption of main rations..."

…

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Xu Miaoyun's clear thinking and kept listing reasons.

I feel happy in my heart.

The old Zhu family has taken a huge advantage by marrying such a daughter-in-law.

Among all the daughters-in-law.

As for which one is the best.

It must be from the fourth family.

The fourth child is starting a business outside, and it will be much easier to have such a capable person beside him to assist him.

Just like before.

Xiuying supported him in creating the Ming Dynasty.

I used to worry that the fourth child would spoil Miaoyun girl to bad.

It seems that I am worrying too much.

After pondering for a while, he nodded and said: "This expo can be held. It doesn't need to be a great victory in the Northern Expedition, but it can be held in the name of Laosi's two great victories!"

Biao'er is in the army, limiting the reputation of the fourth child.

He already knew it.

This is understandable.

Biao'er is the crown prince of the Ming Dynasty and the future emperor of the Ming Dynasty.

The military is the core of political power.

Biao'er and Laosi were just brothers. It was the duty of Biao'er, the prince, to limit the brothers' reputation in the military.

But outside the military.

Whose credit is his!

Now the Ming Emperor is still him!

He is a father.

The fourth child's excellence was restricted in the army.

If he continues to restrict the private sector.

I'm so sorry for the fourth son's efforts.

Lao Wu and the others fought such a remarkable battle.

Even their mothers and concubines came to get close to Yongming and Qihua.

The mothers of the princes who had not yet been granted vassal status and who had not followed the Northern Expedition this time also came to get close to Yongming and Qihua.

Isn’t it just hoping to leave a good impression on the fourth child and take care of the brothers in the future?

He also hopes that if there is another chance in the future, the fourth child can take care of other princes.

He knows it very well.

Biao'er can become a model for all the princes and brothers to follow.

But Biao'er's abilities are enough on his own.

But I can’t teach the princes.

The fourth child has this ability!

…

"Don't worry." Seeing Xu Miaoyun's lips twitching slightly as he was about to speak, Zhu Yuanzhang raised his hand to stop him, "You and the fourth child want to keep a low profile to avoid irritating some people. That's right, but my father has more on his mind. He hopes that in the future , to be more harmonious between you and the Ming Dynasty, this requires the efforts of many people. The efforts of the upper levels are not enough. The people's expectations must also be exerted..."

"The people of the Ming Dynasty are more fond of you, and the imperial court does not dare to make a sudden change. Why, before the comprehensive maritime ban has begun, will my father allow maritime merchants to trade in Jinling?"

"We just hope that the goodwill and economic exchanges between the people can deepen the relationship between the imperial court and you and make this relationship more stable. In the future, in order to make this relationship more stable, my father will not only fully lift the sea ban, but also hope that the people will You can have more exchanges. You need the people of the Central Plains. While we are alive, we can cooperate with you. In the more than ten years since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, many people have lost their land again, returned to poverty, and become helpless. There may be hundreds of thousands, or even millions. ”

…

He didn't investigate.

However, there are many feedback problems in this regard during the implementation of rural village cooperatives in various places.

This part of the people.

In the process of promoting rural village communes, some local officials were promising and helped the people redeem their lost land from the gentry through loans and redemptions, and slowly repaid it year by year with interest.

But such a promising official.

Just a few.

Fang Xizhi, Lian Zining, Tie Xuan, Sheng Yong...

Most officials simply ignored this part of the people who had lost their land.

Let these common people continue to be pure tenant farmers for the gentry.

To use Liu Ji's helpless summary, it is: these silent minority were directly abandoned by the court!

To be honest, these people cannot shake the overall situation.

Whether it was him or Liu Bowen.

I have never thought about doing anything for this silent minority.

First of all, they are a minority after all.

Secondly, the imperial court’s revenue and expenditure did not have any spare capacity.

He suddenly had an idea just now and thought it would be appropriate to hand over these people to the fourth child.

First of all, it makes up for the shortcomings of being an outsider in a foreign land and having no fundamental support.

Secondly, the imperial court should be responsible for this silent minority.

The benefits are obvious.

The relatives and friends of these people are still in the Central Plains.

After they followed Lao Si to the sea and became prosperous.

Will you come back to visit your relatives?

The appearance of a giant flagship like the Laosi Navy took one month to return to Jinling from Dongfan.

It is said that maritime merchants have already placed orders for such giant ships.

Even he doesn’t understand the sea.

You can see it too.

As long as the people are rich in the future.

I would definitely be able to ride on such a safe and fast ship and travel frequently between the Ming Dynasty and Laosi.

Frequent exchanges between the private economy and the people.

The people of the Ming Dynasty have a high degree of favorability towards Lao Si.

Whoever becomes the emperor of the Ming Dynasty must consider the problem of suddenly becoming an enemy of Lao Si and the people's disgust.

As for Lao Si's high reputation in the Ming Dynasty.

Will Lao Si have any ideas about the Ming Dynasty?

He never worries!

After so many years, if he still hasn't seen Lao Si clearly.

He is not worthy of being the emperor!

...

Xu Miaoyun listened carefully.

In addition to being surprised, he was very moved.

The arrangement of the emperor means that the emperor never worries that Si Lang will rebel against the Ming Dynasty one day.

This kind of trust is very high!

Almost infinite!

Si Lang has done so much for the Ming Dynasty.

It can be said that this arrangement is the greatest praise from the emperor for Si Lang's actions!

If Si Lang knew, he would definitely be moved.

Ma Xiuying saw Xu Miaoyun's eyes slightly red, and sighed silently.

In fact, Lao Si has suffered a lot of grievances over the years.

In the ninth and tenth years of Hongwu, he was under close surveillance by Chongba.

Even if the situation improved later.

He suffered a lot of grievances!

Although Miaoyun didn't say it, it would be a lie to say that she didn't feel sorry for Silang and didn't complain about the court!

She just knew the general situation and knew the limit, so she endured it.

Ma Xiuying held the golden beans in one hand and stretched out the other hand, smiling and gently patting Xu Miaoyun's hand.

Xu Miaoyun came back to her senses and thanked her: "I, your daughter-in-law, thank you for your father's grace on behalf of Silang!"

Zhu Yuanzhang smiled bitterly and shook his head.

What grace!

It's just a belated compensation.

He stood up and ordered: "On weekdays, you are also very particular and don't want to come to the palace to see me and your mother. Today, you will have lunch in the palace, and we will go to issue an order."

After that, Zhu Yuanzhang left quickly.

...

Imperial study.

Jiang 𤩽 came in response to the call and saw Liu Bowen already in the imperial study.

After a slight pause, he immediately kowtowed and saluted, "Your Majesty, I, Jiang 𤩽, pay my respects to His Majesty."

"Get up!"

After Jiang 𤩽 thanked him and stood up.

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at the two of them, "Yu Jing led the Dongfan Navy warships to Jinling to receive a batch of prisoners. Bowen, the prisoners from the battles of Zhangbei and Sanxiakou, you and the Grand Commandery, contact Yu Jing, and discuss this matter."

"Your Majesty obeys!"

After Liu Bowen received the order.

Zhu Yuanzhang continued, "Another thing is that the sea merchants who followed and arrived in Jinling this time heard about the great victory of the court and wanted to congratulate the court on the great victory. They took out the goods they brought and held an exhibition for free. Everyone can participate. We are going to use Zhu Di's great victory as an excuse for the government and Dongfan sea merchants to cooperate and promote this exhibition..."

Jiang 𤩽's eyes widened in surprise.

Isn't this to make Zhu Silang famous?

He could imagine the shock caused by the spread of this news!

Isn't this a battle for the prince to establish his prestige?

What does the emperor think?

After a brief surprise, Liu Bowen guessed Zhu Yuanzhang's intention, nodded slightly, and secretly sighed, 'Your Majesty has good intentions! '

As a monarch, this arrangement has fulfilled the monarch's responsibilities to countless people in the Ming Dynasty.

As a father, it is a fatherly love for the King of Yan.

It is also the greatest praise that your majesty can give to the King of Yan for what he has done over the years.

Zhu Yuanzhang knew from Liu Bowen's expression that Liu Bowen saw his intentions and ordered: "For this matter, you coordinate Yingtian Prefecture and the sea merchants to do it beautifully. When the time comes, not only the people of Jinling will go to see it, but we will also go to see what rare things those sea merchants bring back."

"I obey your order!"

Zhu Yuanzhang turned to Jiang Yu, "Jinyiwei rushed 800 miles to catch up with Zhu Di's army and tell Zhu Di this news."

He was not showing off his fatherly love to the fourth child.

He wanted to tell the fourth brother.

His trust in the fourth brother!

To be honest, he had not expected many hidden dangers in this northern expedition.

If he said he was not worried.

That would be a lie.

But as an emperor, even if he was worried, he had to remain calm.

If he could not be as steady as a mountain.

It would only be more chaotic.

He just wanted to tell the fourth brother not to be shy about this or that.

During the northern expedition, any ideas should be expressed positively and without hesitation.

If there were really problems in the northern expedition.

Perhaps, the only one he could rely on and help him solve the problem was the fourth brother!

Jiang Yu asked in surprise, "Your Majesty, don't you need to inform the prince's main force?"

Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes turned cold in an instant, "Didn't you hear what I said!"

Inform the main force?

If those generals knew that the expo was held in the name of the fourth brother's victory, who knows what kind of trouble they would cause.

Biao'er is the same.

Suppress the fourth brother's reputation in the army.

Just let Tang He and Xu Da do it openly.

Why turn a blind eye and let Chang Mao and others who are hostile to the fourth brother do it?

It was originally a very normal thing.

Let him do it and be at a loss!

People like Chang Mao must be greatly encouraged by this!

Jiang Xi was so scared that he lowered his head and obeyed the order, and left in a hurry with his tail between his legs.

Liu Bowen hesitated to speak, and suddenly said, "Your Majesty..."

Zhu Yuanzhang was in a bad mood and said unhappily: "Just say whatever you want to say! Don't we trust you enough after coming back this time?"

Liu Bowen smiled bitterly.

He cupped his fists and said: "Your Majesty, the prince did not do well enough by conniving with the likes of Zheng Guogong Chang Mao, and he was somewhat at a loss. However, I can understand that on the one hand, the prince wanted to maintain the brotherhood with King Yan, and on the other hand, he also wanted to ensure that the core of the Ming Dynasty's rule, the army People’s support is against..."

When the prince handled this matter, he mixed up public and private matters.

We are at a loss.

He can be sure that if he were replaced by King Yan.

We will communicate with the parties concerned first.

Then, he directly ordered the most suitable Marquis of Zhongshan or the Duke of Wei to suppress King Yan's reputation in the army.

snort!

Zhu Yuanzhang snorted.

This is where he is dissatisfied with Biao'er.

The handling is not decisive enough and clear enough!

…

"Mother! Mother!"

at the same time.

Zhu Yunwen ran into the Lu family's palace, "The emperor's grandfather is going to hold an expo for Fourth Uncle Dajie!"
