Chapter 347 Zhu Yuanzhang is going to inspect overseas!
After Zhu Yuanzhang made this discovery, he immediately went to Zhu Han excitedly and told him his discovery: "Qiwu, do you want some officials who like money to go to sea to do business?"
When Zhu Han heard what Zhu Yuanzhang said, he knew that he was right, but not completely right.
When considering things, Zhu Yuanzhang considered more factors in the court, while Zhu Han looked at the development of a matter from a purely commercial perspective.
There is no fundamental difference between the two, but there will be deviations when solving this problem.
Zhu Han's idea was to let officials themselves see the huge opportunities brought by doing business and change their perceptions, thereby promoting and promoting the development of Ming commerce and fundamentally changing the world's prejudices against doing business.
However, Zhu Yuanzhang's idea was that he knew that the rules he set for officials were relatively strict. Once he blocked their way of making a fortune relying on the Ming Dynasty, and then strongly supervised their daily life, some people would definitely not be able to stand his supervision.
Then he ran out to do business.
But is it safe to do business?
In Zhu Yuanzhang's view, as long as you are a citizen of the Ming Dynasty, you must unconditionally obey the laws of the Ming Dynasty. Once you violate the laws of the Ming Dynasty, you must accept punishment regardless of your status.
Zhu Yuanzhang: Even if you escape to the ends of the earth, I will not let you go! You will be punished!
Zhu Han: "It's not the same, but it's not that big of a difference, and the result may be the same."
Zhu Han said it was different, but did not explain how it was different. He just told Zhu Yuanzhang: "Brother, there is nothing different. Just move forward boldly. Even if you are wrong... it is still right, but we will do it in the future."
In the process, you will find a more convenient way. What I said is not entirely correct. Practice is the only criterion for testing truth. As long as you have an idea in your heart, just do it boldly."
"????"
I guessed Zhu Han's idea correctly, but the result I got was not what I wanted.
As usual, Zhu Han should break down some systems and explain them clearly. Why did he only say one or two simple sentences now?
Zhu Yuanzhang felt something was wrong. Thinking back to the news that Zhu Han was going to Yinzhou, he had been deploying troops and generals to delay the construction of overseas enclaves... Could it be that Zhu Han didn't speak so carefully now?
Are you preparing for your departure?
Thinking of this, Zhu Yuanzhang immediately panicked: "Qiwu, Qiwu... why do you say that? What we think... doesn't make any sense at all, so why don't you? You, you are the one who solves our doubts.
ah."
"???"
Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly panicked and spoke erratically, which made Zhu Han a little confused and said: "Brother, what do you mean by this? Why can't I understand?"
"We, we are saying that Ming Dynasty cannot live without you, and neither can we."
Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Zhu Han and said to him sincerely: "Qiwu, you must have noticed that we asked Mu Ying and Bao'er to go to Yinzhou. On the one hand, we want to practice them, and on the other hand, we also want to delay Yinzhou.
It’s construction time and we don’t want you to leave.”
To put it bluntly, I just can’t bear it.
Zhu Yuanzhang told Zhu Han everything, which made Zhu Han a little bit dumbfounded: "Brother, what are you talking about? Didn't I tell you? I won't leave now. I am very happy when Mu Ying and Bao'er go out. As for Yin
The construction of the state... and when I left, it didn't have much impact."
Seeing what Zhu Yuanzhang wanted to say, Zhu Han continued: "Brother, the most important thing now is the construction and development of Ming Dynasty. Now our Ming Dynasty has a population of 200 million, and the population will be even more in the future. What we have to do now is
How to meet the needs of one billion or even billions of Han people, and solving the problem of food and clothing is only the first step we can take, and there is still more road to go."
"We know, we know."
Zhu Yuanzhang nodded and said to Zhu Han: "We will be good and serve the people well. Other people... we will never let them take advantage of us."
The others are officials and businessmen.
The prejudice in people's hearts is a big mountain. Although Zhu Yuanzhang is much more open-minded than before and is willing to develop business, but... The reason why Zhu Yuanzhang is willing to be open-minded is because developing business will benefit the Ming Dynasty, and will eventually feed back to the people. This is
The reason why Zhu Yuanzhang is willing to develop business is that without this goal, Zhu Yuanzhang would not let go of business.
Officials... are even simpler.
In Zhu Yuanzhang's view, spending money from the treasury to support these officials is already a gift to the officials. The reason why they are willing to let them participate in overseas trade is, first, because the Ming Dynasty's treasury is short of money, and they are willing to use the money to benefit Ming Dynasty; second, because
The development of commerce requires the promotion of these officials, so for the sake of the overall situation, Zhu Yuanzhang was also willing to let officials participate.
Zhu Han said to Zhu Yuanzhang: "Brother, the wealth is only among the people. There is no need to distinguish them so clearly. What about officials? What about businessmen? They are just one of the common people. You distinguish their identities so clearly.
It is detrimental to the governance of the country. Regardless of whether they are relatives of the emperor, noble families, scholars, peasants, or merchants, they are just common people. It is just their different responsibilities that change their identities."
Why is it necessary to separate the various classes of people so clearly?
They are just common people. At least in Zhu Han's view, they are just common people, and it is meaningless to give them any other status.
When Zhu Yuanzhang heard what Zhu Han said, he scratched his head in embarrassment: "We know what you said Qiwu is right and makes sense, but when we do things, we always involuntarily take on their identities... We
Be more careful in the future."
They say pay attention, but real change is not easy to achieve.
Zhu Han did not intend to let Zhu Yuanzhang completely change. Now society is undergoing a earth-shaking reform. It needs an iron-fisted emperor to preside over the overall situation. If the emperor is strong and his ministers are weak, if the emperor is weak, his ministers are strong. This is an unchangeable truth. Zhu Yuanzhang does things unreasonably.
Style and the threat of raising a butcher's knife from time to time make it easier for officials to surrender.
Although Zhu Han has said more than once that he will not leave the Ming Dynasty easily, Zhu Yuanzhang always does not believe it. Every day that passes by will make Zhu Yuanzhang more entangled in his heart. What should he do if Zhu Han leaves?
His worry quickly infected the people around him, especially Ma Xiuying, who gained more emotional sharing from Zhu Yuanzhang.
"Why worry about Qiwu leaving? Didn't you say at the beginning that you could leave with Qiwu?"
Ma Xiuying didn't want to see Zhu Yuanzhang frowning because of such an incident, so she said to him: "Don't worry too much. If you and Qiwu manage the Ming Dynasty well, you can go to Yinzhou together and build a new Ming Dynasty there. Domestic
Leave everything to Biao'er to do. You have worked very hard to train Biao'er over the years, I'm sure he won't let you down."
"What about you? We went to Yinzhou, are you willing to go?"
Zhu Yuanzhang did not believe that Ma Xiuying was willing to go to Yinzhou, and said to her: "There are so many little ones at home. You will stay at home to take care of the children. When we get to Yinzhou, we will be the only ones. The whole family of Qiuwu... is not good at all."
not good."
Zhu Yuanzhang shook his head like a rattle and said to Ma Xiuying: "Let's go together, otherwise we won't go to Yinzhou."
"Go, why not go?"
Ma Xiuying's words greatly exceeded Zhu Yuanzhang's expectations. In Zhu Yuanzhang's disbelieving eyes, Ma Xiuying explained: "Children and grandchildren will have their own blessings. They are still young. We can go out for a few years and nothing will happen. 751
Just tell us how wonderful the outside world is, and I also want to take this opportunity to go out and explore."
"Then let's go with you!"
Zhu Yuanzhang's mood immediately improved a lot, and then he said to Ma Xiuying: "No, we can't wait until Qiwu wants to go out before we go out, we have to go out now!"
right!
Just go out now!
Zhu Yuanzhang had the idea of going out now, and he became more and more out of control. Ma Xiuying looked at Zhu Yuanzhang who suddenly became excited and had a headache: "You are still the emperor, how can you go out?"
"Why can't you go out? Can't we just let Qi Wu supervise the country?"
Zhu Yuanzhang sold Zhu Han without hesitation, "This kid is full of bad intentions. All the civil and military ministers in the court admire him. It is most suitable for him to come to supervise the country."
Ma Xiuying saw that Zhu Yuanzhang was a little over the top, and when thinking about the problem, he began to habitually choose to cut the knot with a quick knife. Ma Xiuying had to dissuade him: "No matter how prestigious Qi Wu is, he is not a prince."
Zhu Han was the emperor's younger brother, but Zhu Han rejected this title and chose to stay away from the court.
Zhu Yuanzhang is going on an overseas tour, so it is most appropriate to leave it to Zhu Biao at home.
The reason why Ma Xiuying reminded Zhu Yuanzhang was not because she did not trust Zhu Han, but because she was reminding Zhu Yuanzhang.
Ma Xiuying has been sleeping with Zhu Yuanzhang for so many years, and she can be considered to know Zhu Yuanzhang well. Zhu Han has no ambitions for the throne, but his prestige in the civil and military circles of the Manchu Dynasty is extremely high, and he is on par with Zhu Yuanzhang, and even in some
On the other hand, Zhu Han's prestige in the civil and military circles of the Manchu Dynasty exceeded that of Zhu Yuanzhang.
As for Zhu Biao...he is even worse. There is no comparison with Zhu Han at all.
Zhu Yuanzhang went on an overseas inspection tour, and Zhu Han came to supervise the country. What if Zhu Yuanzhang discovered that Zhu Han's prestige was far greater than that of his country?
It was a good thing that Zhu Han was far away from the court. Zhu Yuanzhang did not have such a taboo against him. If Zhu Han returned to the court and the officials found that working under Zhu Han was more comfortable than working under Zhu Yuanzhang, this should
What should we do? Are the two brothers going to turn against each other?
Ma Xiuying felt that she needed to remind Zhu Yuanzhang to give up his idea.
Zhu Yuanzhang heard Ma Xiuying's emphatically reminded him, and after some hesitation he still said: "You guys... don't know what Qi Wu wants, so you are worried that we will be afraid of him... Forget it, let Biao'er do it.
Anyway, he doesn’t want to get involved in court affairs on July 5th.”
Although the government affairs in the court were handed over to Zhu Biao, Zhu Yuanzhang was not completely relieved.
If something goes wrong in the court, Zhu Han will have to take charge of the situation.
…
Zhu Yuanzhang is going on an overseas inspection tour...
When Zhu Yuanzhang made his decision known, it immediately caused an uproar.
The royalists believe that overseas is dangerous, and there will be storms and waves on the sea from time to time, which will have a great impact on Zhu Yuanzhang's personal safety, so they do not want Zhu Yuanzhang to go overseas. There are also a group of civil servants and military generals who welcome Zhu Yuanzhang's overseas inspections. Military generals
They believed that Zhu Yuanzhang's departure would boost morale and boost military morale, which would be of great benefit to the continued expansion. Some civil servants also agreed very much with Zhu Yuanzhang's trip. They believed that Zhu Yuanzhang's trip overseas would be conducive to the development of business and would greatly stimulate overseas development.
Trade improves further so they can make more money.
Thinking about it...it all feels good enough.
As a result, the news that Zhu Yuanzhang was going to patrol the sea was settled, and many people became busy because of Zhu Yuanzhang's decision.
Overseas, Lan Yu and Zhang Dingbian were still in Rome... When they occupied this country, this country was called Xiyuan, but Lan Yu fully respected the wishes of the locals and changed it into the Ming Dynasty Roman Province, but this province
It's a bit big, more like a county, not to mention that there are some kingdoms such as Ottoman, Hungary, and Ilkhanate nearby.
In order to save trouble, Lan Yu directly changed the three countries of Ottoman, Hungary, and Ilkhan into the province of Austro-Hungary. From now on, they will live together without any belief. Even if they have their belief, there can only be one.
:The Jade Emperor!
Lan Yu now controls two provinces, which govern 13 million people. Lan Yu drives all these people to farm, and he takes the soldiers and horses brought from India and the Sultan of Delhi to fight against Austria.
The provinces of Hungary and Rome began to supervise and transport away all the wealth of these two countries.
In Lan Yu's view, these two provinces do not need to have any economy. What they should do most now is to cultivate land and build houses. Compared with wealth, they need to fill their stomachs more. As for wealth...wealth is
Spoils for the victor to enjoy.
When Lan Yu packed up the gold, silver and jewelry, she also searched through the books of the Roman provinces. The books were what Zhu Han asked for, so Lan Yu naturally tried her best to help Zhu Han find them.
It just makes Lan Yu a little confused. What is the use of those books? A bunch of ghostly symbols are garbled and cannot be read.
But Zhu Han valued these books very much. Roman books represented the civilization they inherited. Mastering the knowledge in them would have a very good effect on the Ming Dynasty in ruling Rome.
Moreover, if you want to inform a country, you must first destroy their civilization. Zhu Han did not say destroying their civilization. Chinese civilization is inclusive of all things and emphasizes tolerance to be great. It should not be a big problem to absorb Roman civilization.
Lan Yu doesn’t understand it now and probably won’t understand it in the future.
Moreover, Lan Yu is not in the mood to think about these things now. He is holding a text sent from the Ministry of Education in China, saying that Zhu Yuanzhang is going to inspect overseas enclaves. He hopes that Lan Yu will be prepared early and must ensure that
Zhu Yuanzhang's safety after his arrival.
Zhu Yuanzhang is coming... Lan Yu is a little anxious.
If it were just to protect Zhu Yuanzhang's safety, the problem would not be big, but Lan Yu knew very well that if Zhu Yuanzhang arrived in Rome and the Austro-Hungarian province, he would definitely have to walk around and take a look.
And... this time, not only Zhu Yuanzhang was traveling alone, but also Ma Xiuying, which made Lan Yu even more worried.
If you are with Zhu Yuanzhang, sleeping on the street is not a problem, but Ma Xiuying is different. Lan Yu must ensure Ma Xiuying's absolute safety, otherwise... he will have to bear the anger from Zhu Yuanzhang, and of course - Zhu Han will not let him go.
