The reason why Zhu Yuanzhang threw out this question was by no means a temporary idea, it was really that Lan Yu had too many righteous sons, so many that he was afraid of them.

Because according to the practice in the army, the righteous son of the chief general is an absolute cronie.

This guy received thousands of righteous sons at once, even if he didn't have the heart to rebel, he still had the strength to rebel.

If Lan Yu can't give a proper solution today, let alone cancel his Northern Expedition Commander, Da Ming has no one to say.

Lan Yu also knew this, but he was really reluctant to let him give up his righteous son.

There are reasons for his character, as well as the characteristics of his fighting.

He likes to go on a rampage when he fights, and wherever he rushes, the righteous sons will rush with him, and many big battles have been won in this way.

As for the reason for his character, it is simple, although he has no intention of rebellion, but guarding such a ruthless person as Zhu Butcher, who must not leave some way back for himself, so as to avoid the death of a cunning rabbit and the cooking of lackeys in the future. The birds are all gone, and the good bow is hidden.

Besides, the righteous sons he has received over the years are all the elite of the elite, and they are absolutely loyal to themselves, who can give it up.

Therefore, after Lao Zhu threw out this question, Lan Yu struggled for a long time and didn't make up his mind.

Seeing that Lan Yu was so obsessed, Lao Zhu sighed secretly in his heart, this guy can't stay!

"Good grandson, if you are full, go to the moat to catch toads, don't bother us to talk about military affairs with Liang Guogong!"

"Huh?"

Zhu Yunxi just heard that the key place was willing to go?

"Grandpa Huang, I haven't finished eating yet!"

Zhu Yunxi said as he ran to the roasted whole lamb and tore off a leg of lamb and grabbed it in his hand to gnaw it.

Lao Zhu saw him smiling so dotingly, so he stopped urging him. Anyway, there is no rush to clean up the blue jade, and it will take a while just to prepare.

Lan Yu looked at Zhu Yunxi, and finally made a decision after some struggle in his heart.

For the throne of my nephew and grandson, just a few thousand righteous sons will give up!

As long as Zhu Yunxi can become the emperor in the future, can he still lose my uncle and grandfather?

"Superior, minister...... When he returned, he dismissed thousands of righteous sons, and from then on he did not associate with them again......"

Zhu Yunxi originally thought that Lan Yu had only accepted a few righteous sons, and he faintly complained in his heart that Lao Zhu was making a big fuss. Now when he heard the words of this thing, he was so frightened that his eyes were about to pop out.

"What!"

"A few thousand righteous sons?"

"Uncle and grandpa, you are going to rebel!"

Lan Yu saw that this grandson was fragrant again, and his face turned black with anger, if it weren't for his own grandfather sitting on the side, he would have to hang this grandson up and beat him.

"Shut up!"

"If you can't speak, don't talk nonsense, no one treats you as a dumb person!"

Lao Zhu was very happy to see Lan Yu eating deflated, and he was very happy to pour himself a drink.

Zhu Yunxi didn't seem to hear it, and leaned over with a dead face.

"Uncle and grandpa, are your righteous sons good at fighting?"

Lan Yu didn't want to take care of this goods anymore, but when she heard him ask, her face immediately showed pride.

"Of course!"

"The one who can enter the eyes of your uncle and grandfather, that top man is a good man who is one to be ten!"

"It's not that my uncle and grandfather are blowing to you, there are tens of thousands of elite soldiers on top of our thousands of righteous sons!"

Zhu Yunxi heard Lan Yu blow Yizi so badly that his greedy eyes turned green.

"Since they're so powerful, why don't you give them to me!"

"I inquired with someone, when I became a vassal in the future, I could lead the Sanwei army, and your thousands of righteous sons just happened to be my guards!"

Lan Yu suddenly heard Zhu Yunxi's words, which made her overjoyed.

Let him dismiss the Yizi battalion, it will make him worse than killing him. But if these people were given to Zhu Yunxi as guards, then he would not be reluctant.

No matter what you say, this is also a field where fertilizer and water do not flow to outsiders!

"Superior?"

"Otherwise, Weichen will take the Yizi camp to the Northern Yuan for a walk, and when they come back, they will be included in the sixth rate of the crown prince, and they will directly obey His Majesty's orders!"

When Lao Zhu heard Lan Yu's proposal, his heart was also moved.

As Lan Yu said, the person who can make him look at it will never be bad in ability.

If it is dismissed, it will indeed be a great loss to the imperial court.

But if he gave these people to Zhu Yunxi, he would not only preserve the strength of the imperial court, but also add strength to the eldest grandson, which would really kill two birds with one stone.

Just when Lao Zhu wanted to agree, Zhu Yunxi quit.

"Uncle, why are you like this, even if you don't want to give it to me, you can't give it to others!"

Lan Yu was so angry when he heard this that he really wanted to beat him, is this grandson stupid, isn't it just given to him if he is classified as the prince's sixth rate?

These are all people trained by us, are you still afraid that they will support Zhu Yunwen's goods?

Lao Zhu understands the eldest grandson's mind a little, he must have just deliberately pretended to be stupid, so that this child had a misunderstanding.

But there is no explanation for this, so let him misunderstand.

"Then it will be temporarily classified into the sixth rate of the crown prince, and when Yunxi grows up in the future, it will be directly under his command!"

Zhu Yunxi saw Lao Zhu say this, so he showed a happy smile.

Lan Yu was numb when she heard this, and she was surprised that she could stuff a sheep into her mouth. Did Zhu Butcher spoil this grandson to such an extent, even the prince didn't have a guard camp so early, right?

Zhu Yunxi helped Lan Yu carry the biggest thunder, and the rhythm of the next meal was much soothing, Lao Zhu not only ordered someone to serve Lan Yu vegetables, but also made a few jokes with Lan Yu from time to time.

The relationship between the two was originally close, it can be said that Lao Zhu grew up watching Lan Yu, and he was a relative of the emperor, if it weren't for Lan Yu's own work, his status would have been more than that.

"Superior, it's good to say that Beiyuan is fighting, but Weichen is worried about one thing, that is, the court can't get a decent reward when the class teacher is still in power."

"Although the court has rewarded it a few times before, it is the same as not rewarding."

Lao Zhu looked puzzled when he heard this.

"Didn't we let the local government give you the house and land?"

Lan Yu pouted disdainfully when she heard this.

"This is where Weichen is angry, the local government doesn't take the holy decree seriously at all, it can be delayed, and it finds all kinds of reasons not to give or less."

"Weichen fished the reward of Erhai, and there are still many soldiers who haven't caught it yet!"

Zhu Yuanzhang was slightly stunned and figured out the trick, the performance of the local government depends on the number of household registrations and the taxes collected every year.

Military households do not pay taxes to the local government, and their household registration also belongs to the health office, not to the local government.

Therefore, in order not to affect their own political achievements, the local government is inevitably unwilling to give more land and houses to military households, which will affect the interests of the households under their rule.

But even if he figured it out, he couldn't think of a good idea.

Because the military households and civilian households are managed separately, it is a national policy formulated by him personally, which is related to the stability of the Ming Dynasty.

Here is a trigger to move the whole body, and many of the systems of the Ming Dynasty have to be changed once.

If he was twenty years younger, maybe he still had this mental strength, but now he is in his sixties, and even if he has this heart, he will not have this ability.

"The reason why Wechen accepts so many righteous sons is also to give them a thought, let them know that someone remembers their merits, and let them fight with Wechen with peace of mind......"

Lao Zhu didn't believe a word of what Lan Yu said, but the question he raised was a big one.

"Lan Yu, what do you mean?"

"Reward!"

"The imperial court directly rewards money according to military merits, and the meritorious soldiers of the province return to their hometowns, and they have to be favored by those local civil officials!"

After Lan Yu said this, he broke the sheep bone, took it in his hand and gnawed it heartlessly.

Since Zhu Butcher wants him to fight in a proper manner, he has to give an explanation to the meritorious soldiers.

You can either take out the real money, or you will cash in the rewards that the court owes to the soldiers all these years!

Even if it is said that the sky is broken, there is no reason to let the horses run and not let the horses graze!

Lao Zhu only felt a headache when he heard this, if it was according to Lan Yu's words, how much silver would the imperial court have to prepare?

One million taels, or two million taels?

But where did the imperial court get so much silver, if he had so much silver, would he still have to fight more than a dozen northern expeditions piecemeal, and he would have destroyed the Northern Yuan in a war!

"We know, as long as you come back from a big victory, we will definitely not lose the meritorious soldiers!"

As soon as Zhu Yunxi heard this, he knew that the bad old man had started to draw cakes again, and he still drew tens of thousands of cakes at once.

But it's not his turn to worry about this matter, he just needs to eat and drink well, and it's good to wait for a year or two to be a prince.

The next atmosphere was a little dull, Lao Zhu was thinking about where to get silver, where did he come from to joke with Lan Yu?

However, when he pondered for a long time, he suddenly found that his eldest grandson actually grilled shrimp for Lan Yu again, and the two of them were still talking and laughing!

Lao Zhu saw this scene and was directly possessed by lemon essence, this grandson has been eating here for more than two months, and I haven't seen him pick up shrimp for us!

"Zhu Yunxi, hurry up and roll over to us, don't disturb your uncle and grandfather to eat!"

Lan Yugang wanted to say that he didn't bother, and he had a good chat with his nephew and grandson. But as soon as I looked up and saw Lao Zhu's unkind eyes, I immediately realized that this old man was sour!

Lan Yu thought of this, and his heart was happy. No matter how good you are as a butcher, your nephew and grandson are still close to us, hahaha!
