Chapter 386 Zhu Yuanzhang: I will abduct your son!
Zhu Yuanzhang was very curious when he saw Zhu Han bringing a monk back. Zhu Yuanzhang didn't have any opinions on monks, but he was dissatisfied with the temple abbot's excessive money-making. As for Zhu Han... he didn't like monks, so he formulated regulations after the founding of the Ming Dynasty.
During the system, there were very strict restrictions on temples.
But today I was very surprised. Zhu Han actually brought a monk home. What happened? Zhu Han changed his gender?
When Zhu Han came back, Zhu Yuanzhang looked behind Zhu Han and did not see the monk following him. He asked curiously: "Where is the monk? Didn't he come back with you?" Zhu Han replied: "No, I found one for him outside.
I have a place to live, wasn’t Yanjing City recently built? I’m going to let him participate, it’s just a good time to train him.”
"Just to practice, it seems that Qiwu you agree with his ability." Zhu Yuanzhang looked Zhu Han up and down, and said with a smile: "Aren't you the most annoyed by those monks? What happened today? Have you changed your gender?"
Zhu Han said, "This monk is no ordinary monk."
"Of course we know he is not an ordinary monk, otherwise why would you take him with you?" Zhu Yuanzhang said to Zhu Han as if he doesn't know the monk but I know you: "What talents does this monk have? Tell us about it.
?" Zhu Han said: "Li Shan is as talented as Li Shan, even more so." Huh?
Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly became interested. Is this monk so capable? Zhu Han could actually use Li Shanchang as a comparison. Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes suddenly brightened a lot: "Doesn't that mean that this monk can leave Biao'er?"
"It's still early. Yao Guangxiao is very ambitious. I'm worried that Biao'er won't be able to grasp it. I want to take him with me to practice for two years to let him know some rules." Zhu Han said that he wanted Zhu Yuanzhang to calm down, and then said: "I
When I think it's almost done, let him go to work with Biao'er. If this kid is still rebellious, I will definitely take him away before I leave."
"Well, that's not bad. That's it. We, Biao'er, must have people who listen to him." Zhu Yuanzhang agreed with Zhu Han's approach, and told Zhu Han to keep Yao Guangxiao with him for a while, and then hand him over.
I also agree with Zhu Biao's approach.
After all, Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Han still have many years to live, so it would be beneficial for Yao Guangxiao to follow Zhu Biao as soon as possible. If Yao Guangxiao goes too far, the worst case scenario is that they can take Yao Guangxiao away with them before they die.
Thinking of this, Zhu Yuanzhang thought of Hu Weiyong again, and couldn't help but sigh: "Li Shanchang and Liu Bowen, although these two people have their own little ideas, they can be regarded as loyal ministers, but Hu Weiyong and Yao Guangxiao... one of these two people is really small."
People have ulterior motives. Our Ming Dynasty is now rich and has a territory of thousands of miles. Isn’t it difficult to find a loyal minister? "
"When it comes to loyal ministers, Hu Weiyong is a loyal minister. It's just that he is a double-edged sword. He can easily hurt himself if he doesn't use it properly. Yao Guangxiao...it's not easy to make a judgment now. Let's wait." After that, he said to Hu Weiyong and
Regarding Yao Guangxiao's evaluation, Zhu Han continued to say to Zhu Yuanzhang: "Whether these two people will be able to govern the world or be heroes in troubled times in the future mainly depends on their methods. If he can intimidate them, these two people will be in his hands."
A sharp knife." Zhu Yuanzhang nodded: "That makes sense. Wasn't Liu Bowen also a bully at the beginning? When he got here, he also bowed his head and behaved like a man. Of course, you have a greater influence on them in Qiwu." Zhu Yuanzhang nodded.
Han's influence was not limited to Liu Bowen. Even the entire Ming Dynasty was greatly influenced by Zhu Han.
Zhu Yuanzhang knew what was going on, but he didn't intend to tell it because telling it would have no effect except affecting the relationship between the two brothers.
"What kind of influence is it? It's just doing something they can't do." It's just a small thing, don't take it seriously.
Yao Guangxiao had just bought it and hadn't started trading yet, so it was pointless to keep discussing him. He simply changed the subject and asked Zhu Yuanzhang: "Brother, have you figured out what to do with the overseas enclave?"
"I have thought about it a little, but not completely." Zhu Yuanzhang had already had a plan in mind. He drew a circle on the ground, and then drew a larger circle: "This is the mainland of the Ming Dynasty today, and the outside is the overseas enclave. These overseas enclaves are
The land is much larger than the Ming Dynasty, so we don’t feel comfortable leaving it to others, especially the areas around the Ming Dynasty. We still have to control it in the hands of our own family.” After hearing Zhu Yuanzhang’s words, Zhu Han guessed Zhu Yuanzhang’s plan.
Seven, eight, eight.
It is nothing more than controlling Australia, Indochina Peninsula and Japanese islands, allowing Ming Dynasty to rely on the sea to protect its back from being attacked... Even if there are enemies approaching, Australia, Indochina Peninsula and Japanese islands can be used to form enough defenses to ensure that Ming Dynasty's mainland...
...that is, China will not pose a threat in the first place.
Of course, to the west of the Ming Dynasty, defenses must also be set up... to facilitate the expansion of the Ming Dynasty.
Sure enough, after Zhu Han guessed what Zhu Yuanzhang was thinking, Zhu Yuanzhang took the initiative to tell him his plan. It was similar to what Zhu Han guessed, which was to send his son to the border area of the Ming Dynasty to guard the border and defend the Ming Dynasty.
As for the outside of the Ming Dynasty, it was left to a few heroes to manage. The reason why Zhu Yuanzhang thought so was because the changes he saw in Yinzhou were too great. Zhu Han was not prepared to manage Yinzhou, but instead governed the local area.
Zhu Yuanzhang felt strange when he found out that the matter was left to the cabinet, but if he thought about it carefully... Zhu Han's doing this would indeed bring him considerable benefits.
Such a large land in Europe was divided into several small countries, allowing the descendants of the Zhu surname to become princes... But this throne was not hereditary, but rotated.
If the descendants of Lao Zhu's family are capable, let them become princes around the mainland of Ming Dynasty, and if they are not capable, they can go overseas and become mascot princes of Ming Dynasty. They will have no worries about food and drink for the rest of their lives.
In this way, whether you are ambitious or want to rebel...don't you have to be loyal to the emperor of Ming Dynasty?
Looking at the previous dynasties... Even the Mongolian and Yuan Empire, which had a land area similar to that of the Ming Dynasty today, would they give their ministers such great rights?
No! No emperor in ancient times would have released such great power. But Zhu Yuanzhang did just that, infinitely amplifying the power of the cabinet in overseas territories. As long as he became the chief minister of the cabinet in an overseas fiefdom, that would be
He is truly a local emperor.
Zhu Yuanzhang believed that this method was the most beneficial development method for the Ming Dynasty. The land of the Ming Dynasty was so big that it could not be governed by one emperor alone. Even though Zhu Han had been vigorously developing railways and sea ships, this development must continue.
For a long time, Zhu Yuanzhang was not sure he could wait until that time.
Therefore, Zhu Yuanzhang thought hard for a long time and finally decided on the current management model: "I just hope that the emperor of the Ming Dynasty can be as sage as Biao'er. Our Ming Dynasty has such a big land, so we can't be thrown out by our unscrupulous descendants."
"Don't worry, brother, as long as Biao'er is here, the descendants will be fine." Zhu Han comforted Zhu Yuanzhang,
"Besides, children and grandchildren will have their own blessings. We descendants of the Ming Dynasty are not idlers!"
"Humph! And you! Where are your children?" Although Zhu Yuanzhang agreed to let Zhu Han play in Yinzhou, he felt that Zhu Han's ability was so strong, his genes must be very strong, and his children were all elite talents, so he let
Zhu Han left and let Zhu Han's children stay in the Ming Dynasty to assist Zhu Biao. It was also a good choice for me.
But after Zhu Han heard this, he waved his hands nonchalantly: "Children have their own thoughts. They can do whatever they want. I won't interfere at all."
"Hmph! You just want to be lazy!" Zhu Yuanzhang was not satisfied with Zhu Han's answer. He snorted twice and said: "How do you like your children? Let's go teach them and see if they agree.
"Zhu Han did not want his children to serve as ministers in the Ming Dynasty. Zhu Yuanzhang didn't care about that. He was going to personally take action and kidnap a few of Zhu Han's children and let them govern the Ming Dynasty together with Zhu Biao.
But after Zhu Han heard what Zhu Yuanzhang said, he immediately became happy and said with a smile: "Go ahead, brother, if you can convince them, I will definitely not care."
"You really don't care?"
"I really don't care!" Hearing Zhu Han's resolute answer, Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly felt more confident: "Since Qiwu you said that, then we can rest assured... Haha, wait and see, let's see...
Well, you have so many women in Qiwu, which one can't have three or four children? Since you can have children, then continue to have children. You have so many children, we don't believe that you can't abduct a few." Zhu Han did not expect that Zhu Yuanzhang would actually
That was the idea.
This is not about casting a wide net, isn't it? Zhu Han suddenly became happy: "...Confucius had three thousand students, and he was able to cultivate seventy-two wise brothers. I have so many children, it is normal for you to abduct them."
"Haha, that's right." Zhu Yuanzhang smiled proudly as if he had taken advantage of the situation.
A fool will always find something after all his worries. Zhu Yuanzhang seems to be a fool now. Zhu Han looked at the proud Zhu Yuanzhang, shook his head but did not expose him, let Zhu Yuanzhang enjoy himself for a while.
... Yao Guangxiao was very excited at this time. He came to Yingtian just to join Liu Bowen and get a chance to take the stage. Yao Guangxiao was very confident in himself. He thought that his ability was the best in the world, even if there were others who could compare with him.
They are strong, they are also old guys, how can they be their opponents?
Yao Guangxiao believed that in the future he could become the prime minister inferior to one person and superior to ten thousand people, and he could decide the life or death of countless people with one word!
But what Yao Guangxiao didn't expect was...Liu Bowen didn't want to take him with him, and Liu Bowen told him straightforwardly: You will bring me bad luck.
With just one sentence, Yao Guangxiao's idea of entering the court through Liu Bowen came to nothing! But just when Yao Guangxiao was desperate, Liu Bowen brought Zhu Han to him and recommended him to Zhu Han.
Who is Zhu Han? The only prince in the Ming Dynasty who was crowned king! Zhu Yuanzhang’s biological brother! The first hero in the founding of the Ming Dynasty!
Zhu Han convinced Man Chao Wenwu and Zhu Yuanzhang! At this moment, Yao Guangxiao thought that he had gone to heaven... But after he knew Zhu Han's attitude towards him, he felt like his head would move at any time, which made Yao Guangxiao suddenly have a feeling.
A feeling of wanting to escape from Yingtian.
Yao Guangxiao really couldn't understand why Zhu Han had such a big opinion against him. He actually wanted to kill him!
Yao Guangxiao really couldn't understand how he had offended Zhu Han. Before meeting Zhu Han, he was Zhu Han's little fanboy.
It was impossible to leave. Zhu Han gave an order. There was no place for Yao Guangxiao in the world. He could only follow Zhu Han like a dog and do whatever Zhu Han said.
Sitting in the house arranged for him by Zhu Han, Yao Guangxiao finally chose to bow his head and accept his fate. He fell into Zhu Han's hands.
Admit it! After Yao Guangxiao chose to accept his fate, he also thought about it: "Besides, since the King of England wants to use me, why should I resist? Isn't my ambition just to love the people like a son like the King of England, and serve thousands of people in the court?
Are you convinced?" Yao Guangxiao clenched his fist and said to himself: "Yes, now is the time for me to grow up, and I can let the King of England personally lead me to grow up... Such a rare opportunity, I must seize it.
!" As for ambition... If your life is not in your own hands, there is no need to talk about ambition.
Early the next morning, Yao Guangxiao packed up his clothes in great excitement, and then ran to the Prince of England's Mansion to see Zhu Han, but was stopped by the housekeeper at the door: "The master is resting, and he usually has time only in the afternoon. Mr. Yao can go to work first."
, I’ll see you again in the afternoon.”
"Oh, okay." Yao Guangxiao nodded, and then left. But after taking two steps, he turned back and said to the housekeeper without embarrassment: "Um...can you lend me some silver coins? I want to visit.
A friend, I am really short of money..."
"Uh..." The housekeeper was also a little confused. He looked at Yao Guangxiao and asked, "There are a thousand silver coins in the cabinet in your room. Didn't you see it?"
"Ah? Do you have money at home?" Yao Guangxiao was stunned for a moment. He really didn't notice it. Seeing that Yao Guangxiao really didn't know, the housekeeper didn't make things difficult for him. He took out ten silver coins from his pocket and said, "You can use it first.
I lent you the money, but you have to pay it back to me... In the palace, every penny spent must be observed according to the rules."
"Understood, understood." Yao Guangxiao immediately nodded to express his understanding, took the money and went to see Liu Bowen. He wanted to buy Liu Bowen some wine and meat, and thank Liu Bowen. If it weren't for Liu Bowen's recommendation, Yao Guangxiao would have never had the chance to follow Zhu Han.
The wine was bamboo leaf greens and the meat was crispy pork belly... It was the same restaurant that joked that he was a flower monk yesterday. Facing the old man's joking eyes, Yao Guangxiao didn't care at all. Instead, he said plausibly: "I met Mr. Ying yesterday... Mr. Zhu, I have returned to secular life.
So it’s okay to eat meat, it’s okay to drink alcohol, and it’s okay to marry a wife and have children!” The old man seemed to have forgotten who he was. Hearing Yao Guangxiao’s words, he just nodded in agreement: “That’s right, good young man.
"What kind of monk do you want to be? Take off your monk's clothes. These clothes really don't look good. The clothes produced by Zhao Nu's Trading Company are cheap and strong, and they are very suitable for you." Zhao Nu's Trading Company refers to Zhao Min's textile factory, because the factory
There were many female workers in it, so it was called Zhao Women's Trading Company. Judging from the old man's reaction, Zhao Min's trading firm was quite popular among the people.
"Uh... that's what the old man said." Yao Guangxiao waved his hands and left with the wine and meat. He wanted to change his clothes before meeting Liu Bowen. These clothes were so ugly that it would be hard to see others in them.
