When Zhu Yunwen was perverted to vent his anger, Zhu Di, who was far away in Beiping, was also uneasy.

Zhu Di changed into a set of ordinary border army uniforms, and took dozens of guards to cross the fiefdom of Zhu Zhi, the king of Liao, and Zhu Quan, the king of Ning, and came to the Yalu River to meet a person.

Although Nanjing has entered the summer season, the Yalu River is still cold in spring, and only the stubborn grass struggles to show some green shoots, indicating that spring has arrived.

Li Fangyuan was dressed plainly and stood at the ferry to welcome Zhu Di's arrival.

For him, Zhu Di is not only the uncle of the enemy, but also his ally against the tyranny, a trading partner with whom he communicates, and so on.

Therefore, he had to put aside domestic affairs and come to the Yalu River in advance to wait for this noble Ming royal family.

Zhu Di was also very satisfied with Li Fangyuan's folding, not only got off the horse in advance, but also dressed up and expressed his solemnity to meet Li Fangyuan.

However, just when Zhu Di wanted to step forward to warm up with Li Fangyuan, he suddenly saw Li Fangyuan kneeling respectfully.

"Xiao Wang, see His Royal Highness Prince Daming!"

Zhu Di suddenly encountered this situation, and the whole person was stunned. Fortunately, he reacted quickly, hurriedly stepped forward to help him up, and grabbed the other party's arm.

"Brother Li, you're going to see the outside. If you are so polite, how do you let the foolish brother deal with himself? ”

Li Fangyuan smiled gratefully when he heard this, and then talked nonsense seriously.

"His Royal Highness King Yan, Xiao Wang is not a polite person, but he is inevitably timid when he sees the true dragon, and he does not dare to offend the heavenly power of the true dragon, so as not to cause disaster to my small country!"

Zhu Di was so happy when he heard this, his mouth was about to reach the back of his head.

If it was in the territory of Daming, he would pretend to be more or less. But now that they've all run to the Yalu River, he's still pretending to be a fart?

"Brother Li's words have passed, the real dragon has been decided, you and I are all Jiaoye!"

Li Fangyuan smiled when he heard this.

"The younger brother made a poem when he had nothing to do, if His Royal Highness King Yan does not dislike it, the younger brother will present it to His Royal Highness King Yan as a congratulatory gift for this meeting?"

Zhu Di was overjoyed when he heard this, and even had a feeling of expectation.

Although it was the first time he and Li Fangyuan had met, the two had already corresponded many times, and they had secretly sold a lot of contraband.

Therefore, Zhu Di has long had a certain understanding of Li Fangyuan's character and style of doing things, and knows that the poems he dedicates must be good poems touting himself!

"Then the foolish brother listened to it?"

Li Fangyuan used the official words of the Ming Dynasty to present the sycophant poems that he had drafted a long time ago.

"The purple phoenix title book is under the nine skies, and the joyful pneumatic ballad."

"The sound of the dragon and tiger is corresponding, and the unkilled whale salamander is still arrogant."

"Thousands of miles of rivers and mountains are orthodox, and century-old characters see the Qing Dynasty."

"The old eyes of the Heavenly Sect are new, and the white hair is unforgiving."

Zhu Di sighed again and again after hearing this.

"Good poetry!"

"I can't imagine that Brother Li Xian has such a talent and can write such a good poem that responds to the situation!"

Li Fangyuan waved his hand modestly when he heard this.

"His Royal Highness King Yan praises falsely, Xiao Wang is ugly, hehehe......"

Zhu Di was even more emotionally emotional when he heard this, he had long known about the Li family's mess, he knew well the hardships and difficulties of Li Fangyuan in assisting his father in raising troops, rebelling, and fighting the world in his early years, and he also knew that his father Li Chenggui promised him to be the prince several times, but in the end he set up his younger brother, just because he was not a descendant.

Even if the Jing Navy had not accidentally entered North Korea, with Li Fangyuan's violent temper, he would have to rebel sooner or later.

Zhu Di is very able to empathize with Li Fangyuan, and in his opinion, this is simply another self.

Isn't he overwhelmed by the word "concubine", in terms of ability, character, and talent, even if he is not as good as Zhu Biao, he is countless times stronger than Zhu Yunxi, right?

However, the old man would rather be a child than let himself be a prince!

"Ling Zun has no eyes, let an excellent son like you not stand, and even set up a little hairy child, it's like taking the country as a child's play!"

When Li Fangyuan heard this, he suddenly felt like a confidant.

"His Royal Highness King Yan is right, that old thing in my family is old and confused, if it weren't for the grandson of Emperor Daming who personally sent heavenly soldiers to capture him to Daming, the younger brother would have entered the capital sooner or later and forced that old thing to abdicate!"

The corners of Zhu Di's eyes twitched when he heard this, this was also his dream.

It's just that the old man of his family is much more powerful than Li Chenggui, even if the old man is lying in bed and talking nonsense, he is not sure if the old man pretended to be it, just to see if any of his blind jumpers jumped out to rebel before he died.

Therefore, Zhu Di has been standing still, and he has been obscure.

Zhu Di not only did not take action himself, but even suppressed a series of measures of Buddhism to prevent them from leading the disaster to himself.

It's just that he secretly made some weapons, and then secretly traded with the Northern Dynasties and the Japanese State to make up for the deficit of the fiefdom.

"Brother Fool heard that the elder brother will govern the Northern Dynasty in an orderly manner and will not close his door at night, can you take a look at it on behalf of Brother Fool?"

When Li Fangyuan heard this, his face was also full of pride.

"It's not a secret, there are many references to the younger brother's policy of governing the country!"

"Big brother is used to seeing the great power of the Celestial Empire, don't be laughed at when you see the small fights of our small country and widows, hahaha!"

"Brother Li, what are you talking about, the eldest brother is really here to ask for advice!"

Li Fangyuan saw Zhu Di say this, and immediately pointed to a big boat like a turtle floating on the river.

Zhu Di had seen a big ship, and knew that his nephew would have been able to build a big ship dozens of zhang long a long time. But when he saw that the warships of the Northern Dynasty were more than ten zhang long, he was still a little shocked in his heart.

"I can't imagine that your Northern Dynasty can build such a big ship!"

When Li Fangyuan heard this, he didn't know whether Zhu Di was praising him or scolding him, as far as the warships they used were not enough for the Ming Navy.

"His Royal Highness King Yan, this is too famous, how can a turtle ship like ours compare with the Ming Navy!"

Zhu Di snorted coldly when he heard this.

"Brother Xian, Brother Fool corrects your mistake."

"The Ming Navy is Gu's nephew, and he has nothing to do with Uncle Gu."

"However, if the situation changes in the future and let Gu go to that position, Gu will also vigorously build a navy and build a navy that is no less than Zhu Yunxi!"

Although Li Fangyuan heard the unwillingness in Zhu Di's heart, he still couldn't help twitching the corners of his mouth.

The Ming Dynasty itself is very powerful, and it can be described as an invincible existence on land. If we try our best to build a navy, then Korea and the Japanese will no longer have the power to move around!

Zhu Di saw Li Fangyuan's face change slightly, and hurriedly remedied.

"Brother Xian, don't panic, Brother Fool is not as insatiable as Zhu Yunxi, Brother Fool is just curious about the other side of the sea, and he is more interested in the benefits of sea trade, and he is not greedy for other people's land."

"His Royal Highness King Yan, even if you are the same as Zhu Yunxi, it is the same as the hero!"

"Xiao Wang is not only angry, but looks forward to treating Wang Shi!"

"However, Xiao Wang only wants to see His Highness's benevolent and righteous teachers, not Zhu Yunxi's group of greedy robbers, hahaha!"

When Zhu Di saw Li Fangyuan say this, he also laughed.

"I didn't expect the virtuous brother to be so open-minded, but the foolish brother didn't seem to be open-minded enough!"

"Since we are talking about this, then the foolish brother swears by pointing to the water of the Yalu River. If it is in the future, as long as there is no shortage of tribute from North Korea, Korea will definitely be listed as a country that will not be levied, and let it be observed for generations. ”

Li Fangyuan never thought of counterattacking the Ming Dynasty, and in his opinion, it was a great luck for North Korea to be able to drink some soup under the nose of the Ming Dynasty and get a little cheap.

"Then Xiao Wang will thank His Royal Highness King Yan for his generosity on behalf of North Korea in advance, and the future kings of North Korea, hahaha!"

In the hearty laughter of the two, Cui Mu, the historian of the Northern Dynasty, excitedly wrote such a stroke on the paper.

"The lord of the country and His Royal Highness King Yan of the Ming Dynasty will be allied on the river, and the lord of the country will advance and retreat in the face of the difficulties of the King of Yan of the Ming Dynasty......"

At this moment, in Cui Mu's eyes, Li Fangyuan is the Holy Monarch and the hope of rejuvenating North Korea.

Zhu Di and Li Fangyuan boarded the turtle boat together, and then toured the beautiful scenery of the Yalu River under the leadership of Li Fangyuan, and then boarded the land of the Northern Dynasties, visited the capital of the Northern Dynasties, and the village markets on both sides of the road.

Before coming again, Zhu Di thought that the life of the people of the Northern Dynasties would be very difficult.

After all, the Southern Dynasty and Goryeo are already overwhelmed by the levy next year, and it should be even more difficult for the Northern Dynasty to be taken care of by Zhu Yunxi.

But after coming to the Northern Dynasty, I found that the people of the Northern Dynasty were living quite well.

Although they are far from affluent, there is not much sadness on their faces.

It's just a little strange, everyone I saw on the road had a small sign hanging on their bodies, even the officials who were accompanying Li Fangyuan were no exception, but the material was more exquisite, using horns, white jade and the like.

"Brother Xian, can you tell them what the wooden tags they are wearing, and why they are worn by young and old in your country?"

"Brother Hui, this is a number plate, which was created by the younger brother, and is specially used to record their height, physical signs, place of origin, field house, etc., to facilitate conscription and conscription."

"In the territory of my Northern Dynasty, men over the age of ten and under the age of seventy must wear this item as long as they go out, and those who do not bring it or forge or modify it will be punished with heavy fines!"

When Zhu Di heard this, he immediately thought of the road guidance system strictly implemented by the Ming Dynasty, and the two were surprisingly similar, both of which were a means to facilitate the government's management of the people.

It's just that Li Fangyuan's license plate system is more convenient, as long as the license plate is taken out, his identity information is clear at a glance, and he can be requisitioned and issued at any time.

"I can't imagine that Brother Xian is still a master of internal affairs, and he can come up with such a cheap method!"

Li Fangyuan said modestly when he heard this.

"Zuo Daoer, don't dare to be so praised by King Yan!"

"The younger brother is also helpless to do this. The land of the Northern Dynasty is not as good as the Ming Dynasty, and there are very few literate people in small countries, if this law is not implemented, the imperial court will recruit soldiers and collect taxes will be a mess. ”

"Brother Xian is humble, there is no fixed law to govern the country, and it is a good law to govern the country and the people!"

"When this king goes back this time, he will also implement this law in the fiefdom!"

Zhu Di's words are really not polite, but he really thinks that this method is feasible. It's just that he didn't know that just when he wanted to learn from the household registration management system of the Northern Dynasties, Zhu Yunxi, who was far away in Nanjing, was implementing a more advanced management system, which not only surpassed the Northern Dynasties, but was a huge change for the whole world.

Zhu Di followed Li Fangyuan away and walked to a few places, often seeing people with bald heads busy in farmland, construction sites, embankments and other places, and couldn't help but be curious again.

"Brother Xian, do you want to be a monk of the Northern Dynasty too?"

Zhu Di has a good impression of Buddhism, firstly, Yao Guangxiao is a monk, and secondly, Buddhism intends to get closer to him and has the idea of supporting him to ascend to the throne.

Therefore, Zhu Di maintained enough respect for Buddhism, both openly and secretly, and in his fiefdom, Buddhist temples rose one after another, and many monks who were forced by Zhu Yunxi to live ran to Yandi.

"Brother Hui, the younger brother is not disrespectful to the Buddha, but I am really a narrow and narrow country in the northern court, and I can't support too many monks, so I can only force some bhikshus who are indiscriminate to become vulgar."

"However, this method is not the original creation of the younger brother, and it seems that the grandson of the emperor of your country is also promoting this matter."

Zhu Di nodded hurriedly when he heard this.

"Oh, it's true, but my eldest nephew has caused an uproar in the country, boiling over, and the people's hearts are unstable......"

As soon as Li Fangyuan saw Zhu Di say this, he knew Zhu Di's inclination towards Buddhism. But he still didn't plan to follow Zhu Di, but said his thoughts realistically.

"Don't hide it from Your Highness, the younger brother not only forced some monks to return to the world, but also confiscated a large amount of monastic property."

"Huh?"

Zhu Di was shocked when he heard this, and said in his heart, isn't this the same as what the rebel Sun did!

"The imperial grandson of your country may have many absurdities, but there is nothing wrong with the affairs of Buddhism."

"Buddhism does not produce, but occupies a large amount of land and tenants, which is very unfavorable to the imperial court."

"The reason why our Northern Dynasty was able to recover its national strength so quickly was because I confiscated the property of Buddhism and distributed it to the landless people to pay taxes for the imperial court."

"Oooh oh ......"

When Zhu Di heard this, he secretly woke up in his heart that he would be enthroned as an emperor in the future, and he would have to restrict Buddhism.

It's just that now I have to ask for Buddhism, and I have to be more courteous to them.

Zhu Di's three-day trip to the Northern Dynasty not only saw Li Fangyuan's means of governing the country, but also saw Li Fangyuan's secret rubbing and building of the sailor.

Although Li Fangyuan's sailors are very shabby, not to mention compared with Zhu Yunxi's Jing Navy, even the Chongming Navy, the predecessor of the Jing Navy, can hang him for dozens of streets, but in the Korean Peninsula and the waters of the Japanese Kingdom, Li Fangyuan's sailors are undoubtedly invincible.

It is foreseeable that as long as the Ming Navy withdraws from this sea area, Li Fangyuan's naval division will dominate the peninsula and point its troops directly at Japan across the strait.

This made Zhu Di have a new understanding of Li Fangyuan, this is an ambitious, far-sighted, and capable ally!

Zhu Di's trip to the Northern Dynasties not only appreciated the customs of the Northern Dynasties, but also signed an order with Li Fangyuan for tens of millions of taels of silver.

In the next three years, Zhu Di will provide firearms, iron tools, iron ingots and other materials for the Northern Dynasties, and exchange ginseng, grain, sea salt and other goods with the Northern Dynasties to achieve bilateral exchanges.

Of course, there will naturally be no less calculations for a certain imperial grandson.

It's just that both of them know that if nothing else, the odds of the two of them are really not much.

However, no one expected that when the two were about to separate, King Yan's guards brought them extremely exciting news.

"His Royal Highness King Yan has a big incident!"

"What's so alarming?"

"According to Master Yao's report, it is said that the military rations transported by Naturalization City to Hamiwei, Tianshanwei, and Broken Leaf Guard have been intercepted!"

"What?"

Zhu Di's astonishment soon turned into ecstasy.

"God help me, hahaha!"

"Brother Xian, great, our chance has come!"
