Chapter 622: Rat-eyed Zhao Shoufu

The last time he found Lu Ning's problem, he instructed his subordinate Zhao Ming to come forward, but Zhao Ming was in a big heel, and he didn't have any.

When these words came out today, many Ruchen immediately followed and knelt down, including a large number of Shangshu servants from the six departments.

These people are all echoing Zhao Chenglong's opinion, and the prince should have made a decision when he saw that this matter should have been resolved. As long as he exerts another force, he can steadily press Lu Ning.

Just as he wanted to stand up and speak, he suddenly found that a young man from His Highness stood up.

"Grandpa Huang, the ministers and grandsons are against it!"

It was Lu Ning's student Zhu Xiongying, who had been locked up at home by Zhu Biao for a long time. found him a large number of Confucian masters and taught him the Four Books and Five Classics of Benevolence, Righteousness and Morality.

Therefore, when Lu Ning asked for snow as a Taoist priest, he was not present. Today, Tianzhu was invaded by Timur, which was a great event, so he and other emperors and grandsons were also called to participate in the early dynasty.

The prince was stunned for a moment, and then he became furious and reprimanded, "What does the little doll know about the milky little doll? Do you know more than the scholars? Don't give me back yet!"

Zhu Xiongying was startled, and couldn't help but look at the master, but found that the master looked at him with an encouraging eye, and he had a lot of courage out of thin air.

"The father is slow to get angry, and the son is against it."

Zhu Biao sneered, and wanted to command the warriors in front of the palace to drive Zhu Xiongying out, but was stopped by Zhu Yuanzhang.

"The child is also older, so he should be given a chance to speak. Xiongying, don't be afraid. Tell Grandpa Huang, why can't you just ignore it?"

found that the imperial grandfather supported him, and Zhu Xiongying was even more confident.

"Back then, Lord Dao Tongdao was an envoy of the Heavenly Empire who lived in Tianzhu. In order to be able to make money there, put our Daming Bank Daming Express and the Domestic Products Division. They have all set up branches there, and giving up Tianzhu now is equivalent to giving up the family money that they have saved so hard to to Timur, the guy with wolf ambitions. Grandpa Huang, are you willing?"

A few years ago, Zhu Xiongying managed the Department of Domestic Products and knew how much benefit this department had brought to the Ming Dynasty.

Recently, there have been natural and man-made disasters in the Ming Dynasty, and Zhu Yuanzhang has repeatedly ordered the reduction and exemption of taxes in the affected areas.

However, the expenses of the Ming Dynasty could not be reduced because of this, and the extra deficits, if there was no national goods division, grain, gold and silver earned from foreign countries, I am afraid that the treasury would have bottomed out now.

Zhu Yuanzhang only then thought that there was a drought in Xinyang last year, and I heard that there was still drought and little rain in Jinchun, and I didn't know, and I had to reduce or exempt taxes.

So he frowned and saw that the capital university was Zhao Chenglong.

"Zhao Aiqing, the question raised by the emperor's eldest grandson should not be underestimated, what do you think?"

Zhao Chenglong said respectfully, "Your Majesty, according to the minister's opinion, this is not a problem in the first place."

Hearing this, Zhu Yuanzhang's spirits were greatly lifted.

"Could it be that Aiqing has a solution?"

"Because Tianzhu is too far away from us, the income brought from them has a long payment period, and the loss of delay is large, and when it is sent to our court, four or five percent of the ten percent have been lost. Such a small place, if you lose it, you will lose it. Even if we lose the Western Regions and Tianzhu, we still have Siam, Burma, Zhenwax, Khmer, and Annam; Dongying, Gaoguo and many other places. It doesn't hurt at all, and it doesn't matter."

As soon as he finished saying this, Jin Jianyang, a scholar of the Jinshen Palace, stood up: "Lord Zhao is reasonable, as long as we double the price of the goods that were sold to those subject countries in the past, and all the benefits lost from Tianzhu and the Western Regions can be recalled, what the Emperor Eldest Sun said is not to worry."

As soon as he finished speaking, Qi Ping, a scholar from Fengxiandian University, also stood up: "What we have to do now is to send a large number of troops to defend the area around Jiayuguan Xuanfu. Presumably, Timur was nothing more than a barbarian, and he could not break through the barrier of the Great Wall no matter what. We can enjoy peace in the Ming Dynasty!"

Those ministers also knew that once Zhu Yuanzhang wanted to send troops to interfere in Tianzhu's affairs, he had now been suppressed by them to the point that Lu Ning, who could only be an ostrich, turned over and gave them a reward from the imperial court

I am afraid that all welfare will be misappropriated for military spending, which is the pain of the skin.

So most of the Wenchen in the hall knelt down, and they all put pressure on Zhu Yuanzhang. Ask him to lock the gate of the country and not let the barbarians from the Western Regions and Tianzhu come in.

Tell them to stop paying tribute for ten years, and without the Ming Dynasty, they will soon cry bitterly.

Then that Timur will seriously repent and submit to the great emperor again.

Lu Ning sneered in his heart and stood up to support his students.

He looked at the minister who said that Timur would repent because he would not have the opportunity to pay tribute, and said, "Lord Hu, if Timur not only does not repent, but marches to invade the border, what should you do?"

This Lord Hu is now the right attendant of the Ministry of Rites, and his words are conclusive: "Your Majesty, you are the true dragon son of heaven who came into the world, and you yourself have the nobility to make all things submit. The minister bets that the sweet fungus will definitely repent with tears and tears, and then surrender."

Lu Ning asked, "What if he doesn't repent and surrenders?"

Master Hu's chest straightened: "I am willing to accept the crime of Ling Chi, and then my family, all the men will enter the palace to be eunuchs, and the women are willing to be sold into slavery by the officials!"

Before Lu Ning could say anything, he heard Zhu Yuanzhang glance at him: "Since this is the case, I will ask someone to draw up a decree and order Timur to pay tribute for ten years. Hu Aiqing, as an envoy of the Ming Dynasty, will go to the Chagatai Khanate and read this decree to the traitor Timur!"
