Chapter 127: The Yang Conspiracy to Restrain the Northern Yuan

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Lu Ning like this, and he was almost a little unable to eat, what the hell is going on?

Lu Ning had to explain again.

"What I'm most afraid of now is that the court is giving me knighthoods and official positions, the higher I stand, the harder I fall, I don't want to do that, besides, I'm quite rich now, and it's good to be a small landlord at home, and live happily."

If you think about it from Lu Ning's point of view, there is absolutely no problem in thinking like this, but Zhu Yuanzhang feels that his nephew must not be so ambitious.

However, now is not the time to teach Lu Ning a lesson, he came this time to ask for help, and if he talked too much, he was afraid of provoking rebellion.

Thinking of this, Zhu Yuanzhang felt that he had completed his goal this time and should go home.

So, he wanted to get up and say goodbye, but before he could speak, Lu Ning suddenly poured himself a drink, and then said to him.

"Uncle, the little nephew has some immature opinions, and it is not good to say much in front of others, would you like to listen to it?"

Of course, Zhu Yuanzhang knew that Lu Ning's so-called immature opinions must have been a good strategy after careful consideration.

Of course he wanted to hear it, and he was eager to know what Lu Ning was thinking.

"Zi'an, do we still need to hide it like this when we talk? If there is anything, just say it. ”

Lu Ning still had some scruples, he said to Zhu Yuanzhang.

"Actually, if I say this idea, it seems to be a bit deviant in the eyes of the imperial court, or it should be impeached by the imperial history, presumably my uncle will not spread this word."

When Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, he immediately patted his chest and promised.

"Zi'an, what do you think of your uncle, don't worry, out of your door, I will treat it as if I have never heard of anything, this mouth is like being welded, absolutely tight-lipped like a bottle."

After listening to Zhu Yuanzhang's assurance, Lu Ning said in a low voice.

"I think the Northern Expedition of the imperial court can fight to this extent, in fact, it is not easy, Xiping Hou is also very difficult to fight in the front, to achieve this kind of record, can be called a generation of famous generals, but if you want to fight deep into the heart, then you will really encounter hard stubble."

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded, but he didn't speak, waiting for Lu Ning to continue.

Lu Ning also made a start, so he stopped being entangled and continued.

"The battle of destroying the Yuan is actually not an overnight thing, Yuerhai is their last base, and there are at least 100,000 of the most elite reinforcements around the Golden Tent, you should know this, right?"

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded and replied in an affirmative tone.

"Yes, there are the last elites of the Northern Yuan around the Golden Tent, if they are eaten in one go, then the Northern Yuan will officially become history, and there will never be a resurgence."

Lu Ning glanced at Zhu Yuanzhang and continued his assertion.

"But things are not so simple, if we go deep under this premise, we will only kill one thousand enemies and lose eight hundred, even if we can really completely destroy the enemy, we will lose a lot."

When Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, he immediately realized that Lu Ning must have other ways to kill Beiyuan with less casualties.

So, he didn't say anything more directly, and asked Lu Ning.

"Our soldiers of the Ming Dynasty are so valuable, how can they exchange their lives with Beiyuan, those barbarians are indeed unworthy, but do you have any way to solve this problem?"

Lu Ning smiled indifferently and told Zhu Yuanzhang.

"I have a few ways, I'll pick up the two medicine pickers and say, you can refer to it, for example, we can carry out the tribute exchange, open the border trade and do business with them."

Zhu Yuanzhang sank his face suddenly, and he said immediately.

"Don't talk nonsense in the future, fortunately, I won't harm you, if you change those people with ill intentions, I really want to join you again."

Lu Ning naturally understood what Zhu Yuanzhang meant, and there was a speech official who played before, saying that he wanted to open up border trade, but he was directly cut by Zhu Yuanzhang.

The imperial court has always not done business with the Northern Yuan, firstly, to maintain orthodoxy, and secondly, it does not want to suffer losses.

Now Lu Ning actually proposed such a method again, which was really unacceptable to Zhu Yuanzhang.

He couldn't help but continue to scold this nephew.

"Don't mention this kind of thing to anyone in the future, otherwise it will definitely bring you trouble."

Lu Ning was also helpless, and he continued to talk to Zhu Yuanzhang.

"Uncle, if you and I finish speaking, if you still think so, then it will be considered my crankiness, what do you think?"

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded, he didn't understand why Lu Ning, who had always been smart, would make such a stupid move, so he said.

"Alright then, I'll hear you and see what you think."

Lu Ning looked confident and said directly to Zhu Yuanzhang.

"At that time, I once said that the Daming treasure banknote should be sold as soon as possible, otherwise it will definitely depreciate in the future, and you should probably remember these."

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded slightly, saying that he did remember this incident, but what does this matter have to do with opening up border trade?

Lu Ning said with a smile.

"Of course, there is a connection, we only use Daming treasure banknotes to trade with them, and when the time comes, as long as you want to close the transaction, you can regulate the amount and circulation of Daming treasure banknotes in advance."

There are very deep things involved, and I can't understand it for a while, so Lu Ning directly took out a simple economics book written by himself and handed it to Zhu Yuanzhang.

"Uncle, take this thing back and take a good look at it, if you understand it, you will know how I planned it."

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded, and then continued to ask.

"Well, in that case, if you have any other ideas, you can also talk about it."
