In August of the seventh year of Jianwen, he went to the Marquis of Yuan's mansion.

"Fangguo, come in!"

"Yes, Father!"

Li Fangguo agreed, then waved his hand at his subordinates, and waited for them to withdraw before closing the door, then turned around and saluted Li Chenggui: "Father, what do you old man command?" ”

Li Chenggui patted the edge of the kang gently: "Come here, be quiet here!" ”

Be quiet? Li Fangguo was a little puzzled, but still sat down, only a foot away from his father.

"How's his aftermath going?"

"It's been dealt with again, but he's rebellious, so ......"

"You can do this," Li Chenggui suddenly waved his hand to stop Li Fangguo from speaking, he tilted his head slightly, trying to keep the tears in his eyes in place, but he didn't expect this action to accelerate the slip of tears, one, two, three...... Tears fell on the clothes.

"Father, you ......"

"I'm fine, I'm fine," Li Chenggui gently wiped away his tears, then shook his head.

After a long time, when Li Chenggui calmed down, he looked up at his son who was close at hand, and said, "What do you think...... What kind of person is the emperor? ”

"This,"

Li Fangguo was stunned for a moment, shouldn't he be called Your Majesty? But Li Fangguo himself is a loyal person, it is impossible to blame his father, most of his father's career was gently erased by a sentence, from the founding ancestor of North Korea to the loyal Ming Emperor, dedicated to the Ming minister, the resistance in his father's heart can be imagined, but his father did not dare to clarify, so he could only let the situation develop. Now in the Ming Dynasty, this kind of private title may be the only remaining pride of my father!

"Your Majesty," Li Fangguo hesitated for a moment, and said in a low voice: "Your Majesty is very young, sincere and kind, and a wise man!" ”

"Hmm,"

Li Chenggui turned his face to look out the window, as if he was thinking about something in his mind, and after a while, Li Chenggui turned around and said: "Fangguo, what you think is too simple, the emperor is indeed generous, but that is a gesture, now our Li family's reputation in North Korea must have stinked, and some people will scold me for wolf ambition and betraying North Korea; There are also people who will scold Fang Yuan for not knowing the current affairs, rebelling against the Ming Emperor, and the people will be miserable, and they will die innocently. ”

"But no matter what, North Korea is finished, and our Li family is also finished! In the future, you have to be careful in what you say and do, and don't think about anything else, you know? ”

"The son understands that on the way here, the father has already said it!" Li Fangguo nodded.

"At that time, my father was worried that the emperor would die of a rabbit and a dog, but now it seems that as long as we keep to ourselves, we can still seek peace."

"Well, I understand!"

"Hehe," Li Chenggui smiled in a low voice, and his tone suddenly turned heavy: "Fangguo, my father has something to tell you, you have to keep it in mind and pass it on." ”

"Yes!" Seeing what his father said solemnly, Li Fangguo hurriedly got up and knelt on the ground.

"I, Li Chenggui, am a loyal minister of the Ming Dynasty, expelling the Wang family, and founding Korea are all for the sake of sacrificing land for one day, and I never have two hearts!"

"This," Li Fangguo was a little puzzled, isn't this sentence a scene?

Seeing his son's puzzled eyes, a trace of disappointment flashed in Li Chenggui's eyes, but he quickly hid it again, such a character can keep the current Li family, so he did not pause, but continued: "This sentence, not only you have to keep it in mind, but everyone in the family must keep in mind, if someone talks nonsense, immediately cane to death, don't hesitate!" ”

"In addition, this time, we will burn all the manuscripts, letters, diaries, etc. that we bring with us, and don't leave a single piece of paper! Otherwise, once it spreads, my Li family will inevitably be wiped out! ”

"My son understands, and my son will do it!" Li Fangguo saw what his father said solemnly, and hurriedly agreed.

"Child, you get up," Li Chenggui raised his hand and asked Li Fangguo to get up.

"Do you understand your father's intentions?"

"I don't really understand!"

"Now our Li family can only survive under the protection of the Ming Dynasty, so what the emperor wants us to do, we must do it, and we have to do more, can you understand this?"

"Hmmm......"

......

Seeing that Li Fangguo really understood what he meant, Li Chenggui finally breathed a sigh of relief.

But at this moment, a thunderous cheer came from outside the window: "What's the matter? You go out and have a look! ”

"Yes!"

After a short time, Li Fangguo ran back: "Father, outside are people parading the streets, celebrating, celebrating...... Recovered...... Toward...... Fresh! ”

"Oh," a trace of consternation flashed on Li Chenggui's face, but he quickly reacted: "You send a few people who are more fluent in Chinese to inquire on the street, and order the people in the house not to go out, understand?" ”

"Understood! What else did the father command? ”

"No, you go out!"

......

In addition to the Zhiyuan Marquis Mansion, the entire Jingshi, and even the Ming Dynasty, are a sea of joy.

In order to express his joy, Zhu Yunwen ordered an amnesty to the world, and rewarded the meritorious officials, in the reward, the more special is the gold and silver coins just created by the Ministry of Internal Affairs, these gold coins, silver coins are ninety percent pure, beautifully made, the weight is one tael (one catty sixteen taels), the unit of silver coins is "yuan", is used as currency in circulation; Gold coins, on the other hand, are commemorative coins and can also be exchanged for silver coins or traded in large quantities.

The minting of silver coins was decided by Zhu Yunwen after careful consideration, and in the process of promoting silver tickets, Zhu Yunwen found that his one-step financial thinking was too advanced. After several years of development, the issuance of bank bills by Bank of Communications has stagnated, and large merchants use cheques for settlement instead of large bank bills; Small merchants are slowly discovering that it is nothing to settle directly with silver, although it is not as convenient as paper money, but silver is more wear-resistant, waterproof and fireproof than paper money, which can reduce many losses; The final reason is that for remote areas, the reception of silver tickets is extremely poor, and the locals prefer to trade in broken silver rather than use silver tickets. Based on these considerations, and referring to the opinions of Tan Bo and Zhao Yufei, Zhu Yunwen decided to go back and mint silver coins.

The Marquis of Licheng added 500 stones, and the earl was promoted to the hereditary marquis, and he was given 5,000 gold coins, 50,000 silver coins, 500 acres of fertile land in Shandong, and 5,000 acres of fertile land in Korea.

Anping Boqu Nenglu added 300 stones, and the viscount was promoted to the earl hereditary, and he was given 2,000 gold coins, 10,000 silver coins, and 2,000 acres of Korean fertile land.

Chu Zhi, Zhuang De, Zhang Lun, and Cao Yushu were crowned viscounts, hereditary replacement, and were given 500 gold coins, 2,000 silver coins, and 500 acres of fertile land in North Korea.

Not only were the generals rewarded, but each soldier was rewarded with five silver coins, which was increased as appropriate if there was a meritorious service.

These rewards cost a total of 12,000 gold coins and more than 1,200,000 silver coins.

After the process of offering prisoners in the Taimiao, worshiping the filial piety tomb, amnesty to the world, and rewarding meritorious heroes, Zhu Yunwen immediately summoned the officials of the Military Aircraft Department and Wenyuan Pavilion to the Qianqing Palace to discuss matters, because he encountered new problems.

As soon as Korea was pacified, Guo Yue in Beiping, Changsheng in the northeast, and Song Xuan in Suiyuan sent news almost at the same time that the Wara cavalry appeared in northern Xinjiang, among which the Wara cavalry appeared more frequently in Kaiping, Daning, Suiyuan, Datong, Tongliao and other places.

When the news reached the Beijing Division, Zhu Yunwen immediately convened the Military Aircraft Department to discuss the matter, and based on the intelligence from all sides, the Military Aircraft Department believed that there were three possibilities:

1. The news of Erbok's renunciation angered the Mongols, who wanted revenge, or rather, wanted to welcome him back.

Second, Timur is dead, and the Warat people have no worries, so they changed their previous attitude of cooperating with the Ming Dynasty and became a little aggressive.

3. According to unconfirmed information, the second son of the last emperor of the Northern Yuan Dynasty, Timur, has returned to the steppe and has been made a Great Khan, which greatly boosted the morale of the Mongols, made them a little carried away and wanted to make some trouble.

Of course, the Military Aircraft Department believes that Warat will not go south in the short term, and it is most likely that it will be the autumn season after August, which is also the favorite time of the Mongols to fight, so the Military Aircraft Department suggested that additional troops should be sent to the north to defend against Warat attacks.

Although Zhu Yunwen did not agree with the judgment of the Military Aircraft Department, for the sake of prudence, he still agreed to reinforce him.

In addition, in order to prevent the Japanese from coming out to make trouble during the pacification of Korea, Zhu Yunwen sent two of the most elite fleets, the First and Second Fleets of the Royal Navy, to the vicinity of Kyushu and Shikoku Island respectively, with the intention of blockading the Japanese country, but it turned out that it was purely imaginary.

Tan Yaowu, commander of the First Fleet, and Tong Hailong, commander of the Second Fleet, have done their best to go out to sea every day to patrol and even shell coastal seaports, fishing villages, and shipyards.

For example, the support of the Japanese to Korea has not been interrupted, although in the later period, the First Fleet captured the commander of the Japanese State, Shoji Oshima, persuaded Oshima to surrender, and ordered him to attack Gyeongju and made great achievements, but the main reason for the capture of Oshima was that their route and goal were determined, so there was always a time to miss, but other Japanese who aimed at looting were not so easy to deal with.

On the vast sea, the two fleets powered by sails, although the firepower is strong and the speed is relatively fast, but for the scattered Japanese pirates, it is just anti-aircraft guns to fight mosquitoes, in vain, so after the pacification of Korea, the nuisance of the Japanese pirates has become more and more intense, because the sea is full of merchant ships, so the Japanese no longer risk attacking the interior, but turned to plunder merchant ships, which made the Ming maritime merchants suffer heavy losses, although Zhu Yunwen ordered the navy to go to sea to cruise, but there are still ships that are constantly looted, The news came that the crew merchant had been killed.

Today's Wako are very different from the past, in the past, they used to kill, rob property, rape, or take maritime merchants as slaves, but now they like to burn their possessions, cut off their hands and feet, gouge out their eyes and noses, and then throw the crippled Ming people into the sea and leave them to fend for themselves. Not only that, but they also like to throw people into the sea, attract the maritime merchants to come to the rescue, and then take the opportunity to loot, so that the maritime merchants do not dare to rescue their compatriots, and can only watch them die helplessly......

In this way, those who dare to go to sea are all large maritime merchants, who are numerous and powerful, and are not afraid of the Japanese invaders; However, small maritime merchants did not dare to go to sea at all, which not only caused panic and hardship for the coastal people, but also caused a sharp drop in customs revenue.

Because the income of the customs was not a small amount, this matter quickly attracted great attention from the imperial court, and after discussion, the courtiers quickly formed two factions, one faction advocated the immediate attack on the Japanese and completely exterminated the Japanese invaders; The other faction advocated peace with the Japanese and ordered them to exterminate the Japanese invaders. Of course, they didn't dare to do that, and they all asked the navy to go to sea to escort them and ensure the safety of the road.

However, Zhu Yunwen could not accept these two roads, and it was impossible to negotiate peace, but it was also impossible to attack the Japanese immediately, and the DPRK had just been pacified, and there were still many problems, such as the problem of the migration of the people, the problem of enclosing land in the guards, and so on.

So what to do?
