Chapter 545: Your Royal Highness, You may have a certain misunderstanding of the world......
Zhu Di said "then" needless to say, after all, Yao Guangxiao wanted to be a thief more than him, and he rebelled all day long.
Yao Guangxiao frowned slightly when he heard this, and soon smiled.
"There it is!"
"Why don't Your Highness reward them to the meritorious soldiers, and let them follow the soldiers as followers."
"Farm in your spare time, follow the army in wartime!"
"In this way, not only can we block the mouths of people all over the world, but also harvest a group of military hearts!"
Zhu Di's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he excitedly stroked his palms and praised.
"Wonderful!"
"Master Yao is worthy of being the wisdom of this king, no matter what the problem is, it will not be difficult for you!"
"Your Highness praised it falsely, the poor monk just learned some anachronistic things, and he can only use the power of His Highness to display his talents......"
The two complimented each other, and Zhu Di immediately looked worried.
"It's easy to say anything else, it's just that Zhu Yunxi has been visiting Songjiang Mansion recently, if he finds out about it, will he ......?"
Yao Guangxiao also looked embarrassed when he heard this, even if Lao Zhu was in Songjiang Mansion, he would not be afraid, even if Lao Zhu noticed this, he had a way to deal with it.
Only when facing Zhu Yunxi, Yao Guangxiao felt a headache.
Because Zhu Yunxi never plays cards according to common sense.
For example, the previous court officials collectively opposed the matter of the gentry receiving grain in one piece, and no matter who looked at it, it was inevitable that there would be a bloody massacre, and Zhu Yunxi easily resolved it.
Another example is the resignation of Yan Shenggong Kong Ne, although this matter has not been made public, many people in the government and the opposition have heard of it.
Yao Guangxiao also waited to watch the play, hoping that Zhu Yunxi's brain would be hot and he would directly kill Yan Shenggong.
However, the result of the matter was once again beyond his expectations, Zhu Yunxi not only succeeded in marrying the county lord into the Kong family, but also abducted a concubine from the Kong family by the way and became his crown princess of the main palace!
Now that Zhu Yunxi is supported by military generals and nobles, and has the support of Kongmen's powerful relatives, he can be described as the position of the emperor's grandson who fights with iron, and no one can move him.
However, bizarre things have arisen again.
In the face of Zhu Yunxi's step-by-step pressing, as well as the secret tricks of Buddhism, instead of fighting back, Zhu Yunxi went out on patrol during this critical period!
Didn't he know that for the old emperor, a great-grandson was comparable to thousands of troops?
He doesn't want to stay in Beigong to make babies, what kind of mess is running around the world!
Yao Guangxiao pondered for a long time with a depressed face, and finally gave Zhu Di an ambiguous reason.
"Your Highness, Zhu Yunxi's behavior is ridiculous, and there is a high probability that he will not notice this."
"Probability?"
Zhu Di's eyes became deeper, Yao Guangxiao never talked about "probability" in front of him, and he made a very firm judgment every time, and he judged it very accurately.
However, now that he actually told himself "high probability", it can be seen that his own Master Yao is also uncertain.
"Master Yao is unpredictable about Lone's eldest nephew?"
Yao Guangxiao smiled bitterly when he heard this, and generously admitted it.
"Shengming has no way to pass His Royal Highness, and the poor monk really can't grasp the style of the emperor's grandson."
"Let's say that he is absurd and uninhibited, he is in charge of the court, and during the period of sitting in the North Palace, he is thoughtful and methodical, just like a mature emperor."
"But if he is mature and sensible, but he doesn't pay much attention to the matter of his heirs, and there are even faint rumors that he doesn't love women......"
"Zhu Yunxi is in his youth, so it's just that he is not a good woman, he is not yet young and vigorous, and he is eager to make contributions."
"Chang Sheng asked for orders many times to sweep the Northern Yuan, but he was suppressed by him, and he also warned the other party not to attack rashly, just guard the Hetao area."
"How can all this not make people suspicious?"
Zhu Di couldn't help frowning when he heard Yao Guangxiao's analysis.
"When you say that, Lone also feels that something is wrong, and I always feel that there is something wrong with this child......"
Zhu Di's worries were quickly verified, and the guard Wang Tie he sent to buy slaves reported that the deal was going well, and that all the slaves were bought for only 580,000 taels, and they were currently waiting to be loaded and transported to Haijin Port for unloading.
It's just that this incident somehow alarmed Zhang Zongjun of the Beigong cabinet, and he sent a document in the name of the cabinet, saying that they must be examined by medical officials to confirm that these people do not have any diseases on them before they can leave Hong Kong.
Zhu Di was so worried that he couldn't even sleep when he received the news, and went to Jiming Temple in the middle of the night to discuss with Yao Guangxiao.
Yao Guangxiao was also confused by this news, and read it several times over and over again.
"Your Highness, the poor monk doesn't know what medicine is sold in this person's gourd, but one thing is certain, this matter must have alarmed Zhu Yunxi, otherwise Zhang Zongjun would not have interfered in this matter!"
Zhu Di's face changed in fright when he heard this.
"Sure enough, it alarmed Zhu Yunxi?"
"What can I do about this, if he goes to the old man to talk about it, the position of the lone vassal king may not be guaranteed!"
"It's not good, I'm so lonely that I end up with King Qin, living on a desert island, and I don't know whether I live or die!"
Yao Guangxiao hurriedly comforted.
"Your Highness, don't panic!"
"The poor monk Guan Zhu Yunxi still cares about family affection, whether it is to treat the king of Qin or the king of Zhou, he mainly beats the warning, and has never taken extreme measures."
"Just based on the few things that King Qin has done before, Zhu Yunxi secretly executed him, and the old emperor will not blame him. But he just banished the King of Qin and gave him a chance to mend his ways. ”
Zhu Di still had palpitations when he heard this.
"I hope so......"
Zhu Di returned to the Yanwang Mansion in despair, and after several sleepless nights, he finally heard the news of the slave ship leaving the port.
However, this good news didn't make him happy for a long time, and he was lost by the news sent back by the escort Wang Tie Pegasus.
Zhu Di did not go to the Jiming Station this time, but ordered someone to call Yao Guangxiao back to Yanwang's mansion, and scolded Zhu Yunxi in front of him.
"Straight sissy thief!"
"This grandson is also too bad, he actually did such a horrific thing, and he is not afraid of breaking his yang life!"
Yao Guangxiao was also depressed after reading Pegasus's biography, he thought of all possibilities, but he didn't expect Zhu Yunxi to be so poisonous, and ordered someone to castrate everyone!
Let's not say that this thing is done without conscience, just say that the slaves brought back this time are all adult slaves.
Castration of adults will kill more than half of them, to say the least!
At this time, Yao Guangxiao had only one thought in his mind, and that was how dare he!
"This is indeed too ridiculous, the poor monk would never have thought of it anyway......
"What should Lone do now?"
"Do you want to expect these eggless goods to go to war?"
Yao Guangxiao said bitterly when he heard this.
"For today's plan, we can only plan and let them farm for the soldiers......"
Zhu Di stomped his feet angrily.
"Alas!"
"More than 500,000 taels of silver for being blind and lonely, if you use it to build ordnance, it will be enough for Lone to equip a light cavalry......"
When Zhu Di was immersed in the reverse current of the river of sadness, Zhang Zongjun's surgery was in full swing.
All the foreign slaves in the Ming Dynasty had to be examined by him before they could be freed.
Moreover, the goods were only given three months, and when the three months arrived, all slaves who were not "thoroughly inspected" were directly executed, and the government did not make any compensation.
As soon as this order was given, all the landlords and military households who purchased slaves took the initiative to send their slaves to the government for inspection, for fear that the inspection would miss the three-month free inspection period.
Three months later, after Zhang Zongjun completed the inspection of all the foreign feudal slaves in the Ming Dynasty, he set his sights on the other side of the ocean, and spread the secret art of the palace to the other side of the sea, so that the slave catcher could understand the matter there and then transport it back.
Since then, there has been an unwritten rule in the Ming Dynasty that all slaves who land on the shore must be inspected, and those who are "unclean" will be immediately executed.
However, this also brought an advantage, that is, it was equivalent to the official recognition of the legitimacy of slaves by the imperial court, and protected the private ownership of slaves, allowing them to be legally bought and sold under the supervision of the government.
For this purpose, Zhang Zongjun also specially compiled a set of laws for the management of the slave trade and added them to the Daming Law.
Zhu Yunxi has always been indifferent to this, allowing the slavery system to take root in the Ming Dynasty.
At first, he also wanted to be humanitarian, but after industrialization, irreconcilable contradictions between land cultivation and industrial production emerged.
There are more than 100 million people in Daming, excluding ordinary women, half of the elderly, half of children, and the remaining young and strong labor force may be less than 10 million.
If there are more people in the factory, there will inevitably be fewer people in the farm.
Coupled with a large amount of infrastructure such as mining and road construction, young and strong labor is even more insufficient.
Therefore, the introduction of cheap labor from the West has become imperative and urgent.
Otherwise, the Ming Dynasty will repeat the mistakes of the Qin Dynasty.
The people suffered from heavy forced labor and punishment, and finally overthrew the Ming feudal dynasty.
At the end of Zhu Yunxi's trip to Songjiang Mansion, he went to Haijin, Quanzhou and other places. More than a dozen highway arteries running through Daming were planned, and the east-west railway construction plan was finalized.
For some coastal areas, several key industrial cities have also been replanned and redesigned.
These projects are large-scale projects that take at least five years and cannot be completed in a short period of time.
Therefore, everything Zhu Yunxi is doing now is just planning for the next five years, so that local officials have something to do.
When Zhu Yunxi finished all this, his eyes finally set on the land beyond the Ming Dynasty.
Naturalization City, Chang Sheng once again wrote to the imperial court, requesting a campaign against the Northern Yuan.
This time, in order to enhance his persuasiveness, he not only contacted the generals in the army to write together, but also tied up his cheap son-in-law Enkhan and asked him to sign the paperwork.
Although Enkhan did not have much affection for the Northern Yuan, he did not want to be a traitor to the Northern Yuan and sounded the clarion call to counterattack the Northern Yuan.
"Father-in-law, the son-in-law is from the Northern Yuan Dynasty, isn't it appropriate to ask the son-in-law to sign the war paperwork?"
Chang Sheng slapped the table arrogantly and glared angrily.
"What do you mean, do you miss your homeland and don't want to help the Ming Dynasty conquer the Northern Yuan?"
"No, no, no!"
"The son-in-law never meant this, the son-in-law just felt a little embarrassed, and he was afraid that he wouldn't believe it if he signed the emperor's grandson......"
"Then you don't care, you just sign honestly, and the rest of the Freedom Emperor's grandson decides!"
"Alas......"
Chang Sheng watched Enkhan reluctantly write his name on the petition paperwork, and just as he wanted to grab the document and dry the ink, he suddenly found a hand stretched out next to the table and snatched the paperwork.
Chang Sheng looked at it with his hand, and was suddenly stunned.
"Yoon-hee?"
"Uncle is not mistaken, are you really Yunxi?"
Zhu Yunxi smiled at Chang Sheng, revealing a row of small white teeth.
"Second uncle, you won't even know me, will you?"
"I ...... I ......"
Chang Sheng's chest rose and fell violently, and his eyes moistened uncontrollably. It took him a long time before he realized that he had to pay his respects.
"Wechen often rises, meet His Royal Highness the Imperial Grandson, His Royal Highness Chitose Chitose Chitose ......"
Zhu Yunxi hurriedly stepped forward to help him up.
"Second uncle has worked hard!"
"All these years, we have been relying on you to guard the north, and we have the prosperity of the country and the people, and the four seas are peaceful!"
"Wechen is not hard, this is what Wechen should do......"
"Besides, if it weren't for His Royal Highness's maintenance, Weichen would have been sentenced a few years ago, hehehe......"
Chang Sheng looked at his nephew, who was taller than himself, and wanted to step forward and pat the other party's head, but he didn't dare to do such a rude thing, so he could only scratch his head in embarrassment and smirk.
"I really didn't expect you to grow so tall in a few years, taller than your uncle, hehehe......"
Zhu Yunxi also learned the second uncle's smirk when he heard this.
"Hey, hey, hey!"
"It's not that I've grown taller, it's that my second uncle has become shorter!"
Chang Sheng pouted depressedly when he heard this.
"Nonsense!"
"How can I be shorter, it's clear that you've grown taller!"
Zhu Yunxi saw the seriousness of his second uncle's face, and immediately clapped his hands outside the door.
"Come in, somebody don't hide outside!"
Tang Shi, who was standing outside the door, heard Zhu Yunxi's words, carried a flower cloth bag, and walked in from outside the door shyly.
Chang Sheng was stunned on the spot when he saw his mother-in-law, and after being stunned for a while, he stepped forward and hugged Tang tightly.
Zhu Yunxi saw the two reuniting after a long absence, and he was also very happy for the two. But when he saw Enkhan sitting on the ground watching the excitement without a single eye, he couldn't help but step forward and kick the goods, and quietly retreated with it.
When the two arrived outside, Enkhan immediately paid a big salute to Zhu Yunxi.
This time, Zhu Yunxi was not polite, and stood in place to receive his full set of gifts. It's just that after he finished saluting, he stretched out his hand and pulled him, which was regarded as giving the steppe khan a little face.
"Enkhan, are you still used to living in Daming in the past few years?"
"Don't hide it from His Royal Highness, Xiao Khan almost forgot what he said about the grassland......
Zhu Yunxi said unceremoniously when he heard this.
"Forget it, forget it, anyway, in the future, people in the world will only speak Daming words, book Daming words!"
"Uh-uh......"
When Enkhan heard this, he was called a Khan in his heart, and the grandson of the Emperor of the Heart Dao was really not polite, was he so arrogant?
There is not only the Ming Dynasty in the world, not to mention the distance, just the land occupied by the Northern Yuan Dynasty is not smaller than the Ming Dynasty. Not to mention that they still have the Golden Horde, the Timurid Empire in the West. Further west in these two empires, there was the Ottoman Empire, as well as the Holy Roman Empire, and so on.
Which of those empires is not as powerful as the Ming Dynasty, and why does Zhu Yuntong think that the Ming Dynasty can sweep the world and force everyone in the world to speak the Ming language?
"Your Royal Highness, you may have a certain misunderstanding of the world......"
"There are not only the Ming Dynasty in the world, nor only the Northern Yuan, but also many powerful countries. Their vast land, dense population, and strong soldiers are difficult to match......
Zhu Yunxi shook his head firmly.
"No!"
"Lone knows very well how big the world is!"
"Whether it is your Northern Yuan, or the countries of Timur, Ottoman, Rome and other countries further west, they will no longer exist."
"On this connected continent, there can only be one country, and that is the Ming Empire!"
