I wish the book friends a happy birthday when they see the snowflakes bloom.

He said that because of work, he didn't have a birthday. Work is important, but young people can't be harsh on themselves, be kind to yourself, make up a cake!

"I'm fooling them!"

It was another cold winter day, and Zhu Wu met Li Shanchang in the study. Brew a pot of hot tea, and get rid of the restraint of the monarch and the minister, just like when Zhu Wu was not successful.

The letters from Zhu Wu and the Henan Red Turban Army were not hidden from Li Shanchang at all, and even the grain, grass and artillery allocated were handled by Li Shanchang.

However, a scholar like Li Shanchang has the advantage of being cautious, and he must ask again and again to confirm everything.

It's like the letter said that Zhu Wu promised Liu Futong to send troops to Nanyang, Zhu Wu was a fool, but when he came to him, he had to confirm it again and again.

"I'm full, help him fight Nanyang!" Zhu Wu skillfully brewed tea, this set of tea sets is Xie Lian'er's dowry, a complete set of fine blue and white porcelain, looking at the flowers and birds on the porcelain in winter, just like alive, "Lao Li, drink tea!" ”

"Thank you, lord!"

"At most, let the third child go over and wave the flag and shout!" Zhu Wu took a sip of tea and said, "As for what landed in Liaodong, the Northern Expedition is even more of a shadow!" There are still three points of nails in the broken boat, and now I am desperate with Meng Yuan, stupid! ”

As he spoke, he looked at the blue and white teacup in his hand and said with a smile, "Meng Yuan left these three points of nails, and handed them over to Liu Futong and Zhu Chongba, what do they lack, what do we sell." Let the Yuan Court not be able to kill them, let them consume the power of the Yuan Court! ”

Li Shanchang stroked his palms and smiled, "The lord's move is quite in the style of the Warring States Policy!" ”

"Sitting on the mountain and watching the tiger fight, the snipe and the clam compete for the fisherman's profit!" Zhu Wu also laughed, "The longer they fight, the more comfortable we are!" ”

"But if Liu Futong and they fight bigger and bigger, what's the half?" Li Shanchang thought about it, and said, "Liu Futong is the first righteous in the world, and there are hundreds of thousands of soldiers under his command, if he occupies the entire Henan, and then joins forces with Zhu Chongba, the lord will go north in the future, I'm afraid it will not be easy!" ”

It is not easy to say that it is very polite to say, as long as the righteous army can win, its combat effectiveness will become stronger and stronger, and the forces of Liu Futong and Zhu Chongba are no longer small, and joining forces is a roadblock.

Zhu Wu put down the teacup, pondered for a while, and said with a smile, "Lao Li, you actually have an idea in your heart!" ”

Li Shanchang turned sideways and said softly, "You might as well give them some money and food now, but once the tail is too big, it will become a threat to our big man." At that time, the old trick will be repeated, and we will unite with the Yuan Court and destroy it directly! Destroy them, the Yuan court is weak, who in the world can still stop the main public soldiers! ”

"Either you have bad people!" Zhu Wu poured tea again and smiled, "Playing with them in the palm of your hand." Pouring full of tea, Zhu Wu blew the tea leaves, "However, I never thought about it that way!" ”

Li Shanchang's hand holding the tea froze.

"Liu Futong seems to be strong, but in fact, he has no follow-up, why does he want to send troops to the Northern Expedition?" stopped Zhu Wu and said, "It's just to relieve the positive pressure, Henan has been fighting for so many years, and I can't hold it!" He established the country and became the emperor, which is probably the last struggle, and once he becomes the emperor, the Yuan court will inevitably beat him to death.

Is Zhu Chongba smart? He won't do anything with Liu Futong! The Yuan army gathered all its strength to fight Liu Futong, and for him, it was also a good opportunity to develop and grow!

He will give Liu Futong the icing on the cake, the Jedi will not send charcoal in the snow, and if he can't keep it, he will fall into the well and step on two feet!

After the Yuan army beat Liu Futong, he was next. Both of them are dead, and our strength is almost accumulated. ”

Speaking of this, Zhu Wu took another sip of tea, "They are our shields, and they will not become our obstacles!" ”

"But going north in the future?" Li Shanchang frowned.

The world has collapsed, and now the Han Dynasty has almost four provinces in the south, and the essence of the world is full of Zhu Wu cysts.

Almost all the core figures of the Han Dynasty are full of confidence, and in the future world, it is bound to be Zhu Wu and Meng Yuan who will fight each other.

"You don't have to go north by land!" Zhu Wu smiled, "Can you take the sea route?" ”

"Liaodong!" Li Shanchang had an epiphany, "No wonder the lord tried his best to say Liaodong in Liu Futong's heart." But in the north of Liaodong, there are Jurchens and Goryeo! ”

"Then destroy Goryeo first!" Zhu Wu held the tea bowl, "You and I are the monarch and the minister, rest and recuperate first, during the Northern Expedition, the first battle at sea is to destroy Goryeo and go out of Liaodong." ”

"The lord gives his ministers three years!" Li Shanchang got up and said solemnly, "Three years to recuperate, prepare military supplies, and supply the army to the north!" ”

"No hurry!" Zhu Wu pulled Li Shanchang to sit down, "The longer we prepare, the better!" ”

Li Shanchang smiled, and then the two of them replaced the wine with tea and drank it all in their glasses.

When you fight, you fight with money and food. Zhu Wu and his courtiers are accumulating strength, which is to develop the economy.

As for the army, with the current skeleton of the Han army, it can be expanded by one million in half a year.

Although the places occupied by Zhu Wu were exempt from harsh taxes and miscellaneous taxes, there was a clause that adult men must be ready to be conscripted at any time.

Moreover, the Han army now has an advanced concept of war, and the core troops are still developing.

Give Zhu Wu a few years to digest the territory, and the backbone of the Han army, the officers of the core army, will also be greatly improved.

At that time, Old Man Xi's academy students and Zhu Wu's fake battalion will bring great progress to the Han army.

In addition, there is the Navy, which is of paramount importance.

According to the drawings of Old Man Xi, the first sample of a sea warship will be launched soon.

It can be said that there is no need to worry too much about the affairs of the army. There's only one word to worry about, money.

After Li Shanchang left, Zhu Wuyi was in the study, approving the folds submitted by various localities and ministries.

Zhu Yu quietly appeared at the door, "Dad, someone is here!" ”

Zhu Wu nodded, still looking at the fold, "Let him come in!" ”

After a while, Shen Wansan came in from outside with low eyebrows, knelt down and said, "The villain has seen His Royal Highness the King of Han!" ”

"Get up! Sit there! Zhu Wu didn't raise his head, "I'll finish this excerpt!" ”

Shen Wansan respectfully did a good job on the round stool, not squinting.

Zhu Wu is in his hand Yang Xian's recital about Jiangxi Tuntian, as soon as he arrived in Jiangxi, Yang Xian took the capable officials of the household department to run Jiangxi up and down.

There are only two words at the core of the presentation, asking for money. Jiangxi's treasury is too poor, and the local tuntian has set up military guards, from livestock to houses, as well as the allocation of materials, all of which require money.

Zhu Wu rubbed his temples, he didn't know the price of firewood and rice, so he knew that he would show Li Shanchang first, so that he would have a headache.

"How's the bank?"

Zhu Wu put down his hand and asked.

"Blooming everywhere!" Shen Wansan smiled first, and then hurriedly said, "In addition to Nanjing, Suzhou, Hangzhou, and Jiaxing have all been opened. Quanzhou Port in Fujian, and Guangzhou are arguing with local officials! ”

Quanzhou and Guangzhou are not in Zhu Wu's sphere of influence, the former is fine, sooner or later, but the latter is a little far away.

"What about profit?" Zhu Wu said again.

Shen Wansan's face stiffened slightly, "It's more difficult to save this piece." Everyone still thinks it's better to keep the money in their own treasury. But our bank can ensure the safety of goods on the canal, the postal service is more prosperous, and the loan is more than at the beginning! ”

You can't rush new things, you have to take your time.

Last month, the bank handed over 200,000 taels of silver to the household department, don't underestimate the 200,000 taels, this is a year's tax in a medium-sized county.

And over time, this money will increase. Zhu Wu controlled the canal, the silk of Jiangnan, tea, porcelain, and salt.

Merchants who do business will rely more and more on postal transportation and warehouses in the future. Although the world is now at war, these things are still not sold in the north.

In the future, the business will get better and better, and there will be more and more borrowers, mortgages, and cooperation with banks, after all, the interest of banks can be much less than the interest of private loans.

Although the merchants of this era are greedy, they have an advantage that Zhu Wu can't imagine, and their virtues are very good.

It's rare to hear about triangular debts. Even if the business fails, even if the creditor breaks down and pays off the debt, it will not ruin his reputation.

They regard wealth as their life, and even seek money to kill them. But it is generally believed that no amount of money can buy a good reputation, and fame is higher than money.

"I'll let you come today and show you two things!" Zhu Wu walked out from behind the bookcase and sat on the coffee table, "Zhu Yu, bring it in!" ”

Seeing that Zhu Wuyi was serious, Shen Wansan was also a little apprehensive, this was the first time he came to the backyard of the Han Palace. To be honest, if it weren't for Zhu Wu's summoning, he really didn't want to come, and he didn't dare to come.

Then, Zhu Yu came in carefully with two boxes and gently placed them on the table.

"Open!" Zhu Wubao said with tea.

"Mr. Shen, please look!"

Zhu Yu said in his mouth, his hands and feet were slight, and he slowly opened the box, and suddenly his mind was gone.

His eyes were first incredulous, then he turned into deep greed, and his breath was short.
