Chapter Three Hundred and Ninety-Nine The person who did it, the benefit.
Chapter 399: What you do is a benefit.
"...The negotiations on the Japanese islands were quite difficult. The attitude of the Northern Dynasty and the Namuromachi shogunate in the Japanese country was extremely tough, and there were many complaints about the Ming Dynasty's mediation."
"As for the Southern Dynasties, although I, the Ming Dynasty, have some complaints about my Ming Dynasty's unwillingness to help them restore the Dajue Temple Emperor's authority to rule the entire Japanese island, I, the Ming Dynasty, have promised at least to allow the Dajue Temple Emperor to regain half of the ruling status of the Japanese island.
And I am very interested. The important thing is that the important minister beside the Southern Dynasty leader Zunyi, Hatakeyama Yoshi, is quite capable and ambitious. If the time is right, and with the help of my great Ming Dynasty, he will definitely be able to replace him with the Muromachi shogunate...
"
In the capital of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Qizhen, dressed in regular clothes and riding a horse slowly, looked at the scenery of the capital around him while listening to the report of cabinet member Li Xian. Behind him, there were several carriages slowly accompanying him, and that person
Zhu Jianshen, who is now six or seven years old, but tall and strong, and looks like an ordinary child of twelve or thirteen years old, is also riding his mount and walking slowly beside Zhu Qizhen. The only difference is that he
There are two guards guarding him. After all, he is not riding a short and docile horse, but like Zhu Qizhen, he is also riding a tall and splendid military horse.
This was of course Zhu Jianshen's own request. Zhu Qizhen would usually satisfy his son's request as long as it was not unreasonable. What's more, Zhu Jianshen's ability to put forward such an opinion showed his growth in courage, which made Zhu Qizhen deep in his heart.
I am quite contented that my child is no longer a flower raised in a greenhouse.
As a mother, Concubine Zhou felt sorry for her child, but in front of Zhu Qizhen, the great emperor of tomorrow, she was often persuaded by herself. Moreover, seeing her son growing up and maturing day by day, Concubine Zhou was convinced
The complaints in my heart gradually dissipated, replaced by an unspeakable joy and expectation.
After all, Zhu Qizhen, a father, attached great importance to the education of his children. This was something that he had never heard of during the years of palace confinement. This was only learned from the mouths of old eunuchs who had experienced several dynasties.
With the guidance of his father's words and deeds, Zhu Jianshen's maturity and growth are like a young bird given a pair of powerful wings. Although Zhu Jianshen still dare not say that he has made any big achievements, he is responsible and responsible.
He is good at handling the relationship between brothers, and he also knows how to unite with his classmates.
These behaviors, in Zhu Qizhen's eyes, are indeed much better than his own as a father. At least when he was this old, he was almost always bullied, unlike Zhu Jianshen, who has the potential to become a school bully. Of course,
He is a civilized and excellent school bully.
Now he is accompanying Zhu Qizhen. Although he cannot understand the conversation between his father and his ministers, it does not prevent him from liking to see his father's calmness and calmness when dealing with problems, and his confidence that everything is under control while talking and laughing.
His attitude made those ministers both shocked and respectful.

After hearing Li Xian's words, Zhu Qizhen smiled and nodded: "I expected that Yuan Bin's negotiations with the Northern Dynasty and Muromachi shogunate would be difficult from the beginning. After all, if there was no external interference, the Northern Dynasty and Muromachi shogunate would have been completely
The land had an advantage, but the Muromachi shogunate did not want the Northern Dynasty to become powerful, so this allowed the royal family of the Southern Dynasty to survive to this day."
"But now I, the Ming Dynasty, have stepped in. The Southern Dynasty, which was originally just theirs and could be dealt with at any time, has turned into a court that can talk to them on an equal footing with the help of the Ming Dynasty. Moreover, there are divisions
If they can easily agree to get rid of their power in the southern part of the island, then that’s the devil.”
Li Xian nodded, turned to look at Zhu Qizhen and asked curiously: "Since your Majesty knows that this will be the result, why do we need to go to this muddy water?"
"Because I don't want that small Japanese island to calm down. Moreover, many of the resources on the Japanese island are of great use to my Ming Dynasty." Zhu Qizhen shook the reins lightly to make the mount brisk.
He walked forward slowly and answered with a smile.
"Although Wo Island is a country, the coins used in its country are the same as that of Korea. They are all made by China. This was the case in the Song Dynasty, and it was still the case in the Ming Dynasty. And the coins on its island are all made by China.
, but it is rich in gold and silver that our Ming Dynasty lacks."
"In my Ming Dynasty, the price ratio between gold and silver is ten to one, but on that Japanese island, it is less than half." Zhu Qizhen's words made Li Xian take a breath of cold air.
Although Li Xian has never done business, it does not mean that he does not understand the most basic gold and silver exchange.
The amount of gold and silver in the Ming Dynasty is relatively rare. It is because of this that copper coins are so popular in the world, and the price ratio has always been high. The ten to one ratio mentioned by Zhu Qizhen is already considered very high.
It can be as low as one tael of gold, or as high as one tael of gold can be exchanged for twelve to fourteen taels of silver.
Zhu Qizhen didn't wait for the look of astonishment on Li Xian's face to disappear, and continued: "You may not know that since the Yongle period, although our Ming Dynasty and the Japanese country have only maintained tribute trade, in fact
. Among the people, there are still many brave people who take risks and trade privately with the Japanese country, and the profits they make are as rich as those of other countries."
"That's why Your Majesty decided to intervene in the affairs of the Japanese island." Li Xian finally understood Zhu Qizhen's true intentions. Of course, on the surface, Zhu Qizhen was above the court, and he was naturally full of benevolence, justice and reason.
The letter deceived all the courtiers into dizziness.
The courtiers were naturally very happy with Zhu Qizhen, the Emperor of Ming Dynasty, who was willing to take charge of the vassal country and promote the power of Huanghuang Tian of the Ming Dynasty. After all, in the eyes of civil servants, educating the world was what Confucianism meant.
purpose.
Only a few close ministers knew something about it, but not much. Just like Li Xian heard today that Zhu Qizhen was nakedly involved in the Japanese island for profit, which really shocked him. However,
After thinking about it, it is not surprising. Zhu Qizhen, the emperor of tomorrow, has an extremely strong desire for land and interests.
Every battle will surely make the close ministers estimate how much benefit the Ming Dynasty can gain from this battle, and it is precisely because of this. After listening to the reports of the important ministers, they believe that Korea will be fully occupied at this time. For the Ming Dynasty,
, it will consume a lot of manpower and material resources, and the later consumption will be an astronomical figure.
And in this way, if the Korean royal family is supported as a puppet regime, then it will take thirty to fifty years, and when the time is ripe, it will evolve peacefully.
The Korean peninsula is swallowed in the mouth.
It was precisely because of the ministers' suggestions that Zhu Qizhen revised his original idea and made the decision to leave the Joseon royal family a way out, but to tightly restrict the royal power of the Joseon royal family.
