Lu Ning didn't worry too much about this, he told Zhu Yuanzhang with a smile.

"Uncle doesn't have to worry too much about this matter, I already have a plan to deal with it, but I haven't played it to the court yet."

After hearing this, Zhu Yuanzhang was a little overjoyed, and immediately asked.

"Is there anything else we can do? This is really good, the court can have a courtier like you, but it is really a blessing for the Zhu family, and it is also a blessing for the people of the Ming Dynasty. ”

Lu Ning looked at Zhu Yuanzhang helplessly and said directly.

"Uncle, if you don't know, I still think that you are the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, but I still think in my heart that if Zhu Chongba is really worried about the country and the people like you, the people of the world are also blessed."

Zhu Yuanzhang thought to himself, this kid dared to call himself by his nickname, but he was really bold, if he had been replaced by someone else, he would have been cut many times.

Lu Ning is right, his public identity is just a director of the Department of Domestic Products, and he always talks about government affairs every day, which makes others naturally feel funny.

"Forget it, don't mess around with me, just tell me if you have any good ideas, I will help you hear about it when I return to the court."

Lu Ning said to him with a smile.

"I spent a lot of money because I used a lot of meat and vegetable flour, and I had to put in a lot of quilts and tents, but now I don't need that much money because my potatoes and sweet potatoes have started to have a good harvest."

In Zhu Yuanzhang's surprised gaze, Lu Ning continued.

"Uncle, please rest assured, I have already asked Fu Bo to calculate, these potatoes and sweet potatoes add up, a total of more than 1.2 million catties, if these victims can eat vigorously, it is estimated that they can eat for more than 20 days."

Zhu Yuanzhang was also a little helpless, looking at Lu Ning, whose eyebrows were fluttering, he immediately asked.

"These potatoes and sweet potatoes don't grow out of thin air, of course, they are also your family property, even if these things are sold cheaply, they can be worth tens of thousands of taels of silver, so you can give them out again."

Lu Ning scratched his head embarrassedly and said with a smile.

"Or is it still that sentence, the skin will not be attached to the hair? If the imperial court has no money for disaster relief and causes the whole to collapse, what is I, the viscount? Only when the Ming Dynasty lasts forever can my title be passed on. ”

Zhu Yuanzhang knew in his heart that what Lu Ning said was very reasonable, but there are so many princes and nobles in the world, how many people can understand this truth?

So, he also said to Lu Ning.

"There are so many clans in the Zhu Ming Dynasty, and even the princes are not a few, but it is really difficult for you to let a viscount worry about the world."

Lu Ning was a little unimpressed, he didn't have any hope for the children of the Zong clan at all.

He didn't think that the emperor was in front of him, and he just had to say anything to his uncle.

"There is another way to solve the problem at hand, but there are some things that the imperial court has not yet figured out, and they don't have too much energy to do it now."

Zhu Yuanzhang thought for a while, since he could solve the problem, he could do anything.

"Don't sell it, just say it, what the hell is the idea, as long as you say it, it's easy to do!"

Lu Ning smiled, and then said to Zhu Yuanzhang very solemnly.

"I have said this before, it is enough to feed the war with war, in other words, it is to transfer these burdens of our Ming Dynasty to foreign tribes to bear, especially those Dongying Wokou."

Zhu Yuanzhang listened carefully, and Lu Ning continued.

"Those Japanese robbers don't actually need to be treated as human beings at all, these people are afraid of power and not virtuous, as long as they are conquered, they are slaves like pigs and dogs, and there are silver mines in Dongying, which can be mined in large quantities to supplement domestic use."

After listening to Lu Ning's words, Zhu Yuanzhang instantly had some thoughts, and he said immediately.

"But the imperial court doesn't have so much money to build warships and send troops to Dongying, so it seems that the emperor should be advised to let the prince's family donate money."

Lu Ning smiled solemnly, and then said to Zhu Yuanzhang.

"Since I put forward this idea, I don't need to think much about sending troops, I will first pledge two million taels as military expenses."

Zhu Yuanzhang was stunned after hearing this, he didn't understand why Lu Ning was so generous, but he also knew that two million taels was enough to build many warships.

"Zi'an, you're not kidding, if you really take out so much money, won't you empty out all your own family resources, how should the court repay you?"

Lu Ning said solemnly to Zhu Yuanzhang.

"Uncle, I'm really not joking, let me tell you, I'm just a businessman, not a philanthropist, I think if I invest so much, then I should have my shares."

After listening to this, Zhu Yuanzhang of course was very happy and said.

"Naturally, there is no problem in this matter, even if the imperial court does not reply, I will answer for them here today, just rely on you to make so much for the imperial court, not to mention shares, even if you share a silver mine, it should be."

Lu Ning scratched his head helplessly, and then said to Zhu Yuanzhang.

"Uncle, you can't talk nonsense about this, you are just a director of the National Products Division, but you are the emperor's master."

Zhu Yuanzhang secretly thought in his heart that he could really make decisions for the emperor, but he couldn't disclose his identity now.

So, he replied to Lu Ning with a smile.

"Actually, this is nothing, you have done so many things for the imperial court, if the imperial court has nothing in return, Daming will really be blind."

Lu Ning sighed and said.

"If you can really make the people of Daming rich, and the world is clear, my personal honor and disgrace are really nothing."
