In the interests of the imperial merchants, the largest proportion is undoubtedly overseas.

Nanyang and Dongying are the main sources of gold and silver in the Ming Dynasty, and the ships from the Arab region can sell the goods of the Ming Dynasty to Tiannan and Haibei.

This amount is so huge that it is impossible to even express it in an accurate number.

Even a group of people in the clan who are waiting to die also know that as long as they eat this market, then they can rely on the invincible Fujian and Zhejiang sailors of the Ming Dynasty to gather and loot endless wealth.

If you can't worship the heavens, it will be extremely comfortable to be a rich man from generation to generation in the future.

Everyone was waiting for Zhu Yunwen to choose this lucky person, and for this reason, they didn't even care about the appointments of the other pieces.

"Overseas, hand over to Uncle An and his third brother."

The choice of material was beyond anyone's expectations.

The Uncle An in Zhu Yunwen's mouth is naturally Zhu Lu, who is only twenty-four years old, and the younger brothers from Zhu Lu down are all less than twenty years old.

There was an uproar in the canopy hall.

No one thought that Zhu Yunwen would choose to give up the most profitable piece of the imperial merchant to a group of stinky boys.

However, this is precisely the best choice.

What do these older kids know? What to do in the end, it is not Zhu Yunwen, the emperor, who has the final say behind the scenes.

"The younger brothers are still young, after all, overseas affairs are not so easy to handle, Your Majesty should think about it again."

Someone opened his mouth to make a noise, but as he spoke, he found that he couldn't speak.

They are all Taizu's own sons, where is there still one favoring one over the other.

"Although overseas is good, in the end, it is a wandering around the world, and it is good to let a few young brothers go out to see the world."

As the former head of the imperial business, Zhu Zhi stood up and took over the words, and said something that everyone could not refute.

In this matter, no one was willing to go down with Zhu Yunwen, so he simply followed Zhu Zhi's words and went down the steps.

It's just that the overall mood instantly dropped a notch, except for the few little guys who were named and jumped around.

"Everyone is in charge of their own share, and earning more and earning less is a matter of their own ability."

didn't dwell on this topic too much, Zhu Yunwen only left this exhortation and revealed the split.

"That's all for today."

Looking around, seeing that no one dared to speak against it, Zhu Yunwen grinned, he now likes this kind of dictatorial feeling more and more.

After setting the tone for the split of the imperial merchants, the big guy recounted his daily routine in the Huagai Hall for an hour, but most of the emotions were scarce, and finally ended up in a so-so end.

Only Zhu Di did not leave alone, and as soon as the former walked out of the Huagai Palace, he was led by the eunuch to the Qianqing Palace to be summoned by Zhu Yunwen alone.

The reason why the latter is looking for Zhu Di is also very simple, the war in the southwest has come to an end for the time being, and Zhu Yunwen has to think about finding a new opponent for Daming.

"After a long time, the country's internal will lose its fighting spirit because it is too stable, and although it is said that the belligerent will die, as long as the scale and rhythm of the war are controlled, the war can completely play a role in training troops."

This is Zhu Yunwen's excuse, in fact, it is just to satisfy his desire for possession of land.

The Kanyu map hanging in the Qianqing Palace, without the Yili Lili (Xinjiang) piece, is a typical rooster without a chicken butt.

Although it is said that the Ming Dynasty at this point in time is already much larger than the territory of later generations.

"The battle in the southwest seems to be in full swing, and the movement is quite large, in fact, the number of troops mobilized before and after is less than 100,000, and the main components of the army are still those countries in the southwest, and the main force of my Ming Dynasty has not fought for many years since the grassland was surveyed."

Standing side by side with Zhu Di on the edge of the sand table in the northwest, Zhu Yunwen said in a deep voice: "I am determined to make a move on the Eastern Chagatai and transfer the Mongolian, Jurchen, and Wuliangha guards from Hebei and Liaodong provinces as the main force. ”

Zhu Di knew in his heart that this was Zhu Yunwen's plan to kill three birds with one stone.

In addition to opening up territory for the Ming Dynasty, I am afraid that taking the opportunity of the war to start consuming and squeezing the blood of that group of foreign races is Zhu Yunwen's real purpose.

"The battle is inevitable, but how to control this scale?"

Zhu Di asked: "The traffic to the northwest is not smooth, and the battle line is easy to stretch too long, and I am afraid that the consumption is not small." ”

"Money and food are not a problem, the treasury is too full now, and it is not a bad thing to spend a little."

Zhu Yunwen put forward a point of view that Zhu Di did not expect: "In addition to the transportation of grain, a batch of armaments will be sent out of the arsenal, and after the army leaves the Yumen Pass, the follow-up supply work will be handed over to Shaanxi and Shanxi provinces, so that the blacksmith workshops and private mines in these two provinces can directly make armor and bows and arrows." ”

"Never!"

Zhu Di was frightened by this proposal and broke out in a cold sweat, and hurriedly persuaded.

"Your Majesty think twice, since ancient times, how can there be a reason to entrust the production of military armaments to the people, so since then, if these workshops secretly conceal the production quantity and arm the people in the villages, this will be the bane of the future troubles in the place."

"How can there be any technical content in the production of swords, even if it is banned, the folk blacksmiths will not make them?"

Zhu Yunwen chuckled noncommittally: "If the rich people and mine owners really want to rebel, and they are backed by patches of mines, won't they be able to produce swords and armor?"

Even cannons, the people can make them, before the Firearms Bureau did not overcome the delayed detonation technology, do you really think that there is a huge gap between the military technology of the imperial court and the locality?

The local provinces do not go against the grain, and the mine owners in Shaanxi and Shanxi provinces are rich in the first side, and only when they have a hole in their brains will they take the risk of punishing the three clans to produce armaments and train private troops.

In this case, it is better to use the national treasury to pay for the purchase of armaments in the localities, which saves a lot of transportation expenses, and can also encourage them to produce high-quality armor and weapons by the way. ”

Zhu Yunwen is using the blacksmith workshop in this time and space as an arms company.

The imperial court placed an order for armaments, and local production and supply saved the transportation cost of going from Nanjing to the northwest of the country, and also stimulated the economic development of the people.

Seeing that Zhu Di still wanted to persuade again, Zhu Yunwen was already a little impatient to listen, and waved his hand directly.

"Don't talk about this, let's talk about the election of generals in the northwest.

I want to make Gao Xu a general, what does the fourth uncle mean? ”

Zhu Di was stunned, then shook his head and humbly refused: "Gao Xu is young, I am afraid it will be difficult to take on the big responsibility." ”

The Yan Wang family is already too dazzling, Zhu Gaochi is the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, and anyone with a discerning eye knows that this is an idle job with qualifications, and the next step is to enter the cabinet.

The second son, Zhu Gaoxu, is also one of the three divisions of Moting, and he is selected as the marshal of the expedition to the northwest.

It's not a good thing to make a big move.

Before the battle was fought, Zhu Di was already worried that Zhu Gaoxu's contribution was too great, as if destroying the country and expanding the territory had become an easy thing.

"The point is, the famous dynasty will wither."

Zhu Yunwen sighed suddenly: "The generals from the southwest are only suitable for the southwest, and they are only suitable for the southwest, and they can command nothing more than a few people.

Xiping Marquis Song Sheng's age is too old to travel thousands of miles, and the ability of Yang Wen, the Marquis of Hanshan, is three points behind.

I thought about it, and there were several famous generals in the world, but there was only one fourth uncle. ”

"In that case, why don't you let the sixth brother go?"

After thinking about it again and again, Zhu Di put forward a proposal for a candidate: "The sixth child also participated in three Northern Expeditions in his early years, and later pacified Guizhou and Kenan Barbarians, and set the two Guangzhous. ”

Chu King Zhu Zhen?

Zhu Yunwen was slightly stunned, he really forgot about this sixth uncle.

Taizu's early sons, all of them were heroes, but it was difficult for a beggar-born Taizu to educate so many generals.

"Yes."

With his head bowed, Zhu Yunwen responded to Zhu Di's request: "Since the fourth uncle is sponsored, let the sixth uncle take charge, and Gao Xu will be the deputy." ”

Seeing that the emperor had made up his mind, he wanted Zhu Gaoxu to participate in everything, and Zhu Di couldn't dissuade him any more, so he thanked his son.

"That's it, the fourth uncle will go back to the house to draft the military order, and I will print it here, so that the sixth uncle can be promoted from the Beijing camp to select the army, and go north as soon as possible."

"Yes, the minister retired."

Clenching his fists and bowing, Zhu Di turned around and left the Qianqing Palace quickly.

It is foreseeable that Comrade Yan Wang will not sleep well tonight.

In addition to talking to Zhu Zhen about the march, Zhu Laosi also had to write a letter of instruction to his son.

He is both a father and a minister.

It's hard to grasp this degree.

(There was a small accident early in the morning, and I injured my leg, which was enough to carry a little.) ）
