In the middle hall, there are many magical states. After experiencing madness, the civil and military officials gradually calmed down, and only the sound of heavy breathing remained in the entire hall.

Zhang Wen, the deputy general of the Zhenwei army and the Marquis of Heqing, turned his head to look left and right, took a deep breath, and bowed down again and said: "Your Majesty, in the northwest sea area of the main island of the Japanese country that the Zhenwei army explored a few months ago, there is an island called Zuodu Island, and there are gold and silver mines on the island...... "Can the Ming Dynasty be richer?"

As Zhang Wen said that Zuodu Island, which was called Treasure Island, the civil and military officials in the Zhongji Hall had automatically ignored the question of the ownership of this Zuodu Island.

Yu Xin asked the expectations in his heart for everyone present: "Does Heqinghou know how much this island can produce?" ”

"According to the calculations of the craftsmen in our military camp, this island can produce no less than 10,000 taels of gold a year, and the mineral output of silver and Iwami silver is on par." Zhang Wen replied softly, and then looked at the civil officials nervously, for fear that these people would go crazy again.

It's just that this time, after hearing that there are such abundant minerals, the officials in the court did not go crazy again.

It's really numb. Even, hundreds of officials have come up with an idea of how to spend so much extra money every year.

Zhu Yuanzhang also didn't know how to speak, and the hand that pressed on the eldest grandson's shoulder squeezed it twice.

Zhu Yunxi looked up at the old man.

"How's the report of the army of the Suppressor?"

"There are 500,000 taels of silver outside the Dongshui Pass, and the report is true." Zhu Yunxi pondered for a moment and replied quietly.

The incident of Zuodu Island was told by a friend when he was surfing somewhere.

The island is very large, with dozens of gold and silver veins throughout the island, and at its peak it could produce 1,500 kilograms of gold and 40 tons of silver a year.

The overall mineral reserves can reach more than 80 tons of gold and more than 2,000 tons of silver. And that friend also told him about the open-pit limestone pyrite mine in Qiongzhou Mansion with an iron content of up to 70%.

Zhu Yuanzhang sighed: "How can there be so many gold and silver mines in the Wa Kingdom?" "Not much.

Zhu Yunxi also sighed in his heart that before the discovery of the American continent, the Japanese country was the world's largest gold producer, and the entire Japanese country was directly called Treasure Island by the West.

"My grandson heard that there are actually many places in the country that are rich in gold and silver deposits, but most of them are not as convenient as Iwami silver mines in terms of output and mining and smelting." Silently, Zhu Yunxi paved the way in the old man's heart for the fall of the Japanese kingdom.

Zhu Yuanzhang snorted twice and glanced down at his eldest grandson.

"Your Majesty, the minister has something to play." At this time, Ru Yu, who was going to make soy sauce today, walked out with a wat board and arrived in the center of the main hall.

Ru Yu is the secretary of the military department. As soon as he stood up, Zhan Hui beside him immediately turned his head and looked over with a frown.

This old guy is going to make trouble! Zhan Hui stared at Ru Yu's figure and thought secretly. Zhu Yuanzhang said softly: "Accurate." Ru Yu shook his sleeves: "Your Majesty asks Your Majesty to issue an order, Jingwei sent troops, crusade against Annan and Liaoren, deter their disobedience, confiscate their soldiers and horses, and reprimand their arrogant actions, so as to calm our peace in Guangdong, Guangxi and other places in the south." "I am the secretary of the Ministry of War, and what I do is to train the world's soldiers and horses, rectify military affairs, and kill people and set fires.

In the past, the court had no money, and he was in charge of the affairs of the military department, but he couldn't ignore the difficulties of the court. But now, the court has money.

Very rich. The military department has to do what the military department should do. Ru Yu, who spoke out of the crusade, was like a general holding a long sword and a horse lance, riding a tall horse, and wielding a sharp blade at the enemy with a majestic style.

Today, the first to oppose the conquest of the Ministry of Households, immediately frowned, who cares that it is the Ministry of War Shangshu who speaks, and he has stepped forward again.

"The minister thinks that the court should not start a war lightly no matter what. The major affairs of the military family are related to the society and implicate all the people in the world, and the slightest carelessness will be a loss for all the plates, affecting the peace and tranquility of the society. "In the court, there are feet stepping on the gold bricks and making a crisp sound.

"Minister, the official department is still in the book, and the left capital of the Imperial Court is Zhan Hui, please ask Your Majesty to issue an order and send troops to rebel."

"Ren Hengtai, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, asks His Majesty to issue an order to send troops to fight." As Zhan Hui and Ren Hengtai went out to work and seconded the proposal, the face of the household department changed greatly, and his face was full of embarrassment.

In the court, the rest of the officials also looked inexplicable, and they were all quietly exchanging heads, obviously discussing what should happen to this situation.

Less.

"The ministers seconded the proposal."

"Your Majesty please give an order to send troops to rebel."

For a time of "......," nearly half of the civilian officials took the lead in seconding the proposal under the leadership of the Ministry of War, the Ministry of Officials, and the Ministry of Officials.

The family was about to bury his head in his crotch. I can see it clearly, obviously among the people who seconded the proposal to send troops at this moment, there are also guys who previously refused to send troops to recruit Annan and the Lao Ministry!

At today's court meeting, the direction of the wind can be described as twists and turns, and it has changed several times. On the side of the generals, Jingchuan Hou Cao Zhen was about to hold back his laughter, if it weren't for His Majesty suddenly coming, I was afraid that he would laugh out loud at this time.

When their group had not yet spoken, the civil officials on the other side began to agitate for His Majesty to send troops to war.

However, the next more unexpected thing happened in this central hall. I saw that the founding prince Chang Sheng slowly walked to the side of the military department Shangshu Ru Yu.

"Your Majesty, the imperial court can't easily send troops south." It's a dead life! The civil servants shouted that they would send troops to recruit the unsubordinate.

As the founder of the military generals, Chang Sheng, actually said that the Ming Dynasty could not send troops easily. And Zhu Yunxi, who was pressed by the old man to sit on the circle chair, was almost happy in his heart.

Tilting his head and glancing at the old man, Zhu Yunxi spoke: "What is the opinion of the founding prince on the matter of sending troops?" Chang Sheng glanced at the emperor, and then nodded and spoke: "Soldiers, be heavy grain and grass." The soldiers and horses did not move, and the grain and grass went first. The affairs of the military state must be perfected in order to win all battles. Hearing this, all the ministers in the palace nodded one after another.

Sending troops to Annam and the Lao Ministry was not the Central Plains to suppress the rebellion and bandits. This is a national war, and the competition is not only about the bravery of the front-line soldiers, but also about the heritage and strength of the two countries.

In addition, the harsh terrain in the south, if there is no perfect preparation, many soldiers and horses can be filled in alive.

Chang Sheng continued: "Yingtian to Guangxi, thousands of miles away, if you travel by land by official road, the imperial court will spend countless money and grain, and the local state capital should be difficult. The minister thought that at that time, he ordered the Longjiang Shipyard to build large ships, which could allow tens of thousands of troops to go down the river from Yingtiancheng to the sea, and to form a fleet of troop carriers, grain carriers, and naval warships to reach the coast of Annam in Guangxi Province, and attack Annam on both sides, making it difficult for them to guess the real main force of our army and be tired of guarding. ”

"And the imperial court can also save the cost of marching the army, and after the war, the army collects money and grain, and it can also be loaded by large ships and transported directly to Yingtian." Chang Sheng directly summarized the military strategy that Zhu Yunxi mentioned in the Governor's Mansion two days ago.

And by sea, it is the most important point. In addition to the Ming Cao Yun, and then open the sea road. And this road to wealth will be mastered by the nobles of the Ming Dynasty.

Even Chang Sheng couldn't refuse such a benefit, even if he didn't miss every ounce of the south's output, but other nobles couldn't be like him.

Qin Kui, the secretary of the Ministry of Works, who has always had a very low sense of presence in the court, hesitated to speak: "Build a big ship and take the sea route? Zhu Yuanzhang was also interested, and said curiously: "Is this what the Governor's Mansion thinks?" Chang Sheng nodded and said: "The minister thinks that if you want to conquer Annan this time, the imperial court can send 30,000 guards and horses to Beijing, and only need 100 ships to carry the food and salary of the soldiers and horses, which can save more than half of the marching grain and grass for the imperial court." When the army has been captured, it can also be transported back to the sky by sea ship, which is also to save the cost of grain and grass. Qin Kui frowned and groaned, thinking carefully about the cost of the army's expedition.

And Yu Xin had already spoken: "Your Majesty, what the founding father said is true. If we go out to the army and still go south by land by official road, the court will inevitably have to levy servants to transport grain and grass, so the court will have to pay an extra ration. The local government along the way south also had to supply the army with food and grass, which still had to be consumed during transportation. If you go south by sea ship, although it is expensive, it is far from being comparable to the official road and land route. Moreover, the roads above the sea are smooth, and the time taken for the army to move south will also be shortened. Although the minister is a civil minister, he also knows the truth of the speed of the soldiers, which is probably the case. "A large ship can carry thousands of loads of grain and grass, and only a hundred or ten sailors are needed.

However, if it was changed to a land route, hundreds of people would have to transport thousands of loads of grain and grass, and officers and soldiers would have to be dispatched to escort it.

Throughout the ages, when a large army went out to fight, claiming to be hundreds of thousands or millions of troops, in fact, most of them were counted those who undertook the transportation of grain and grass and other conscriptions.

An army that claims to have 100,000 troops can actually be used for war only about 30,000 or 40,000 officers and men.

The rest are the huge number of people who keep this army up and running. Zhu Yuanzhang thought about it several times, and finally patted Zhu Yunxi on the shoulder.

He faced the hundred officials and said in a deep voice: "We already know about this matter, and let us think about it again, and have another will to inform the court." Zhu Yuanzhang did not almost give a decision, but postponed the matter and showed traces of dispersal.

Sun Gou'er immediately stepped forward to ask if there was a replement. The hundred officials didn't understand anything, and they bowed their heads one after another. Then, with Sun Gou'er's retreat, the hundred officials began to withdraw from the Central Pole Hall in an orderly manner.

Zhu Yunxi, who returned to the apse and was about to change clothes, saw that the old man was staring at him ambiguously, looking left and right, not smiling.

I can't change my clothes. Zhu Yunxi, who had just unbuttoned it, let go of his hands: "Grandpa, why aren't you in the main hall today?" Zhu Yuanzhang laughed: "Okay! It's a good grandson of our family, and what he does is to be quick and refreshing! Boost your energy! "It's only been a year, and the imperial court has an extra million loads of grain and millions of taels of silver.

Zhu Yunxi bowed his head: "Grandson is just messing around." Zhu Yuanzhang blew his beard: "If you can make a fool of yourself, you can make millions of loads of grain and millions of taels of silver, grandpa looks forward to you continuing to mess around!" Just when Zhu Yuanzhang was praising his eldest grandson, an exclamation came from the corner.

"It's really grown up." Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Yunxi's grandson immediately turned their heads, and saw the embarrassed expression on the face of the crown prince Zhu Biao, squeezing out a smile.

Zhu Yuanzhang stared at his son for a while, shook his head and said, "It's rare for you to praise this kid so sincerely." Zhu Biao smiled and said, "Shouldn't you summon the ministers to play the right game?" Zhu Yunxi was stunned for a moment, not knowing why his father said this, turned his head to look at the old man beside him, and saw the smile on the other party's face.

That's when he reacted.

"Grandpa, did you agree to the invitation of the founding father, and are you going to send troops to conscript?" Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand and twitched it on the back of Zhu Yunxi's head, glared, and pretended to be angry and said: "You and your uncle have discussed it, and you have brought so much money and food, if we don't let you move again, maybe your kid will secretly leave." Zhu Yunxi immediately bowed his head: "I didn't say I was leaving......

"You're almost going to engrave the matter of the pro-conquest in your mind!" Zhu Biao stepped forward and pointed heavily at his son's head.

Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand and instructed Sun Gou'er beside him: "Go, stop the people from the Six Ministries and the Governor's Mansion and let them go to the Wuying Palace." "Go to the Wuying Palace, this is the place to discuss military affairs with important ministers of the imperial court.

Zhu Yunxi raised his eyebrows, and hurriedly asked people to come forward to change his clothes. Shao'er, Zhu Yunxi, who had changed his clothes, followed the old man and his father with anticipation and went to Wuying Palace.

And the six Shangshu, the squires and the governors of the Governor's Mansion, who were about to walk out of the noon gate, were stopped by Sun Gou'er, who had rushed over to spread the word in person.

"Ladies and gentlemen, Your Majesty has issued an edict to summon you to the Wuying Palace, please hurry up and follow the old slave over, don't let Your Majesty wait for a long time." Zhan Hui, Ru Yu and others were stunned, this is unusual.

These days, His Majesty has not said that he has summoned his courtiers, and he has not even participated in the early dynasty. Today, not only is it to go to the court, but also to summon them in the Wuying Palace.

Zhan Hui and the others couldn't help but silently turn their heads to look at the people in the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies headed by Chang Sheng. Cao Zhen smiled: "Zhan Shangshu, please." "Wuying Palace.

A huge Ming Dynasty is placed in the most conspicuous position, depicting the twelve terrains of the Ming Dynasty, the official roads and post roads of the world, the north and south border plugs, and a brief sketch of radiating to a certain range outside the territory.

On the other side is a smaller one, including Guangdong, Guangxi, Yunnan and the entire south.

It's just that after three passages, it's a bit brief, and there are few more detailed descriptions except for the big cities and the big passes.

At this moment, Zhu Yunxi was standing beside the old man Zhu Yuanzhang and his father Zhu Biao, and the three of them stared at the two Kanyu in front of them, studying them by themselves.

"Do you know why I agreed to your request to go south?"

"In the past, the imperial court was overstretched, and everywhere it was necessary to take the Central Plains relief and the nine-sided enemy as the priority, and the north has always been a place for the disaster of my Central Plains, and grandpa can only use all his thoughts and all the energy of the Ming Dynasty to the north."

"Now, Zhejiang Province and the Wa Kingdom, the two things you have done in the affairs of the military state have brought millions of loads of grain, grass and money for the imperial court."

"Grandpa has confidence because of you."

"The imperial court, because of money, has become more confident." Zhu Yuanzhang read in a low voice, and his eyes were quickly searching for the southern Kanyu.

He is the founding emperor, and his military strategy is naturally not bad, and he is building the detailed steps of the military strategy in his mind.

That's the power of money! As long as there is money, the emperor can go to war on all sides. As long as there is money, civil officials can also roar to conquer.

Zhu Yunxi is not sure whether Da Ming will return to the point where even the emperor's internal money can run mice, but he wants to take advantage of the present to let Da Ming go out.

Get a head start. Thus trying to change the fate of the next hundreds of years. Then. There was a chorus from outside the hall.

"The ministers are right." ………… Ask for a monthly pass recommendation ticket~
