Zhu Youzhen's idea was very simple, and he found out the real problem.

That is, the royal family is too merciful.

There are too many local warlords.

Led to the sluggishness of imperial power, resulting in his words as the emperor, not many people listened to them, all kinds of yang and yin violations, especially those who had soldiers in their hands, did not take him as an emperor in their eyes at all, on their respective territories, unscrupulous, crazy money, countless violations of law and discipline, but the victims had no way to ask for help, and the court could not manage it, it was basically a state of lawlessness, he, the emperor, received information, saw it in his eyes, felt pain in his heart, but felt powerless.

But this time, he wasn't going to put up with it.

A little action has to be taken.

A super consortium like the Guanning Military Consortium with 500,000 troops, the royal family has no choice but to let it go on without law.

But for the Tianjin Army, the Tongzhou Army, and the Jimen Army, which are small warlords with only more than 10,000 troops around the capital, can't the imperial court do anything about it?

You must know that after more than ten years of development.

The surroundings of the capital have now developed into a more prosperous and developed place, especially Tianjin, Tongzhou, Jimen, these three places, with Xujiazhuang to get the first pot of gold for development, plus either there are mines underground, or in the place where traffic converges, so the economy is generally very developed, and it is eye-watering.

Especially next to Tianjin, its Tianjin Port, is already the largest port in the north of the Ming Dynasty, there is no one, the annual cargo throughput has reached 100 million tons, second only to Xujiazhuang Port City, is the second largest port in the world, the flow of goods logistics is extremely smooth, has the trend of the northern logistics center of the Ming Dynasty.

The annual economic output value created has reached as much as one billion silver dollars.

Most of the goods that the royal family did business with came from the port of Tianjin.

By the rental of the warehouse.

Transportation of ocean-going cargo ships.

There are also security operations.

An industrial park was established, and more than 100 factories of various types were established.

Wang Hong, the chief soldier of the Tongzhou Army, can net 100 million silver dollars a year, and can rank in the top ten of the Ming Dynasty's personal rich list all year round, and has long lived a group of wives and concubines, an extremely luxurious life, with a price of 8 million silver dollars A super luxury cruise ship, Wang Hong actually bought without blinking, often took his family and friends to the sea to play, fishing, extremely chic, once encountered a 14-level sea storm, almost finished, fortunately, the shipbuilding quality of Xujiazhuang Shipyard is excellent, there is no damage, and it is still in the "Oriental Times" put a big advertisement on it, so that the shipyard's business is better.

Zhu Youzhen's face was full of regret at that time, and he muttered, why is it not dead, a level 14 storm should have sunk to the bottom of the sea according to reason, and it was really unreasonable to be able to come back alive, which made him very unhappy.

Fat.

Anyway, Tianjin is a very fat piece of meat in Zhu Youzhen's eyes, he has long been hungry and drooling, and he dreams of disbanding the Tianjin army, and then the imperial court will take back this territory, and the royal family will send eunuchs to manage it, and the net profit of 100 million yuan a year will enter his pocket as the emperor.

However, the things that you don't want to do in life are always nine times out of ten.

Even Yang Yufan, the general soldier of Tongzhou next to him, was not far behind, taking advantage of the convenient position of Tongzhou, the end point of the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal, to open a factory, recruit more than one million cheap labor resources, engage in the textile industry, build a shoe factory, or some simple assembly plants, just want to make a hard money in processing fees, a year's net profit, there are as many as 50 million silver dollars, it can be seen that the abundant population resources are well utilized, and it is also a kind of gold mine, which can bring very great benefits.

Zhu Youzhen also drooled with envy in this regard, only to find out that the original royal family also had tens of millions of high-quality labor resources in their hands, but he was too short-sighted, and actually sold them all for the benefit of one or two hundred million silver dollars. In fact, it is much better than a hammer deal, he was indeed too short-sighted before, and now he regrets it.

There is also the Jimen army stationed in Jimen, its chief soldier Deng Xi is more than sixty years old this year, a handful of old bones, it stands to reason that he should have died a long time ago, but the body is very tough, and recently accepted a concubine, and the life is very leisurely, and the land of Jimen, there is no agricultural output, it should be very poor, but in the underground of this area, quite a lot of coal mines have been discovered, as well as relatively rich clay mines, and a small amount of iron ore.

Therefore, relying on the excavation of a large number of mine resources, a large amount of honeycomb coal was regenerated and sold to the people in the capital, and hundreds of brick kiln factories were built, burning one billion bricks a year, taking the route of small profits and quick turnover, and earning millions of silver dollars by selling bricks.

There are also several ceramic kilns built, and the technology of bone china is introduced from Xujiazhuang, and a large number of high-end porcelain is fired.

Coupled with other factory projects, as well as the Jimen area, the rich resources have been fully utilized.

Deng Xi, a veteran, can actually earn a net profit of 30 or 40 million silver dollars a year, which is enough to feed tens of thousands of soldiers and horses under his command, not to mention, and also lives a very luxurious and luxurious life, his family and friends are bullying people in the local area, bullying men and women, and doing all kinds of bad things, Deng Xi is soft-hearted, and helps cover up again and again, settles the victims, and occasionally does something to help the beautiful widow.

All in all.

These three places around the capital are very wealthy, and the warlords are divided, and everyone has such and such black spots on their bodies, it is very easy to find evidence of the crime, and there are many excuses for justice, and in terms of public opinion, the bright-eyed people will also feel that the royal family's approach is right, it is to clean up the three scum bastards, and it is to uphold justice and help the people, as for the industries and economic interests of these three places, if all the royal family is recovered, what does that mean?

Net income of nearly 200 million silver dollars per year!

It means that the annual income of the royal family will increase from 300 million silver dollars to 500 million, an increase of about 70%, which is about double the expansion.

How could this not make Zhu Youzhen feel greedy and act.

Moreover, in the vicinity of the capital, without the strength of these three warlords, he will feel a lot more fragrant when he sleeps, and he will have a lot less bad dreams at night.

It can also be used as a means to show the imperial power, deter those forces with bad intentions, and let them know that the emperor still has the means and ability to clean them up, and it is best not to act rashly, be honest and obedient, or obediently provide some benefits, so that they can be safe, otherwise sooner or later, like the three warlords, all the wealth and nobility of the family will come to naught.

But......

No one is stupid.

It is even less likely that the royal family will take action against their interests and not react in any way.

In this world, interests are the purest thing, and they will also bring the most fierce resistance, it can temporarily resolve the blood feud, but it will also make a family that loves each other fall apart in an instant and turn into a mass of scattered sand.

Zhu Youzhen can't be so stupid, he has been an emperor for more than 20 years, and his political wisdom is not weaker than anyone else, and he has long known a lot of truths in this world, and he knows what the consequences of acting rashly and eating ugly looks are.

So he thought of a whole set of coping methods, or rather, planned to design a perfect game, so that most of the forces would fall in, slowly enter his rhythm, dance according to his ideas, and finally achieve what he wanted to achieve like the ending of the script he directed.

It is divided into three steps.

The first step is to borrow money.

Borrow money from Xujiazhuang's Tianxiatong Bank.

With a very low interest rate of 1%, borrowing about 700 million silver dollars, plus the original 300 million, making up the figure of one billion silver dollars, and taking out all the high-quality assets of the royal family as collateral, there should be no problem.

Xujiazhuang will definitely borrow, because the current Tianxia Tong Bank, the number of silver dollars issued is very small, but the face value of 10 Wen, 20 Wen, 50 Wen, 100 Wen to 200 Wen, 500 Wen, 1000 Wen banknotes, has accounted for 90% of the currency issuance, has become the main currency used by people all over the world.

And the cost of printing banknotes is very low.

However, the scope of circulation is very wide.

Although the economic development in the past two years has been overheated, the banknotes of the Tianxia Tong Bank have been a little too flooded, resulting in a significant depreciation of purchasing power, but the vast majority of the people do not feel that there is much of a problem, because their income is also rising sharply, the number of job opportunities has increased, and the money has become easier to earn. Things will be difficult to sell and prices will be lowered, and economic development will cool down.

And such a situation, Xu Jiazhuang also does not want to see.

Therefore, in the next three to five years, there will definitely be no shortage of money on the market, and users with good credit can easily get loans, not to mention top users like the royal family, who enjoy the lowest interest.

After borrowing a huge amount of money.

In his hands, Zhu Youzhen, has a super cash flow of more than 1 billion silver dollars.

And then, it's the expansion of the army!

The number of the royal new army will be increased from 300,000 to 500,000 at one time, and it will also be reformed to eliminate the weak and retain the strong, and purchase a large number of advanced weapons and equipment, such as breech rush, mortars and new plate armor and other equipment, to create a more powerful legion.

In order to build this powerful legion, Zhu Youzhen was determined to be generous, and probably spent 500 million silver dollars in military spending, of which 200 million was used to purchase equipment, 200 million was used for training and maintenance, and 100 million was for the soldiers to pay for the salary, and the super high treatment of 60 silver dollars per month was given.

The third step is deterrence.

After the strong army is trained, they will carry out some deterrent actions in Tianjin, Jimen, and Tongzhou every day, or forcibly stationed in the past, in the name of the emperor, to carry out the defense of the station, carry out infiltration, and then frantically carry out co-optation, and find a way to let some characters in the three places join the emperor's camp, obey the emperor's orders, and no longer obey Wang Hong and others.

In the end, it is to find a reason, and issue an order to summon three warlords into Beijing to meet the emperor, if you don't go, it is disrespectful to the emperor, it is a great crime of attempting to rebel, and you will immediately be hit by ten times the strength of the royal legion, and face the fate of destruction.

If Wang Hong, Yang Yufan, and Deng Xi are forced to agree to enter the capital, Zhu Youzhen will not embarrass them, but will send someone to put them under house arrest, seal the titles of the three Beijing officials prepared for them, and closely monitor them, so that they are not allowed to return to their respective stations, and then they can only be trapped in the capital, like a bird in a cage, not free, and spend every day in torment. Give up all kinds of benefits, and after Zhu Youzhen gets all the things he wants, he will also generously reward them with property worth millions of silver dollars each, so that they can live the life of ordinary rich people, so that Xu Jiazhuang and other forces will not be able to say anything.

Come to think of it.

Zhu Youzhen muttered:

"I didn't order your heads to be cut off under the fury of the thunder, it is already very, very merciful, it is definitely the first benevolent army in the ages, and Song Renzong of the Song Dynasty can't do it to such a magnanimous extent."

"I've endured enough of these arrogant and domineering warriors! I will not endure it, let alone pretend to be a lake, leave this problem to the prince to solve, I must be in my lifetime, in the Ming Dynasty, large and small military leaders, all to solve, the first batch of first to deal with the Ming Dynasty around a few military leaders, and then to solve those smaller military leaders, and then Fujian Zhengjia, Liaodong Guanning Army such a large army head, first send the superior army to oppress and approach, find a way to enter it, and then vigorously pull over the division, seal the official and make a wish, and finally summon into Beijing, seize and deal with it, If you are willing to spit out your interests, you can let them go, and if you are not willing to give up your interests, you will be locked up in the capital until death, enjoy all kinds of torture, and there will always be a way to make you succumb! ”

"This set of processes of mine is perfect, it is difficult to find faults, not to mention that these military leaders, large and small, all have lawsuits against the people, I don't know how many things I have done that hurt heaven and reason, bullying men and women, it has long been unwritten, and the crime deserves death, I teach and punish you for the people of the world, it is a matter of course and righteousness, and it is also a good thing that will be supported by the people, and the voice of public opinion will only stand on my side, and I will never hear the voice of not supporting the court."

"As for Xu Jiazhuang, he will naturally stand on my side, I owe one billion silver dollars to Tianxia Tong Bank, and I am the uncle who owes money! If Xu Jiazhuang is not worried about the bad debts of the 1 billion silver dollars, if he is willing to hurt the marriage relationship between the two families, if he does not want to increase the common interests of both parties, Xu Jiazhuang will stand on the opposite side of the royal family, but it is just three small army leaders, why is Xu Jiazhuang like this? Helping me is the most natural thing, and Xu Jiazhuang will definitely make the right choice. ”

At this moment, Zhu Youzhen was extremely confident.
