Chapter 392: Li Er and Li Jiancheng
"Good!" Zhu Yuanzhang applauded loudly, "I didn't expect our Di'er to be so studious, Daming has a prince like you, it's really a blessing for Daming!" ”
Then he said: "You have made such a great contribution to the Ming Dynasty, what should we reward you?" ”
After thinking about it for a while, I didn't know how to reward him, if I wanted to give him the title of king, Zhu Di was now the king of Yan. The reward of gold, silver, jewelry, silk and silk is certainly not worthy of his great work this time.
This son of his own is so good.
Not only can he be good at fighting, diligent and studious, but there is nothing to find fault with in his conduct.
Zhu Di's excellence has reached the point where the prince's light has been covered.
When the ministers heard this, they all fell silent.
knew that he had indeed reached the point where there was no reward, unless it was to reward him as a prince.
It's just that the prince is also very good.
"Sons and daughters serve the country, and there is no hope of receiving any reward." Zhu Di also saw the embarrassment of the matter, and said: "And this conquest of the Wa Kingdom is not the credit of Erchen alone. ”
"Hu Weiyong, Luo Guanzhong, and Mr. Qin have all contributed a lot."
"If the father must reward them, reward them and those who are born and die."
"Di'er has a point." Zhu Yuanzhang nodded and said, "The fact that you can make a great contribution to Daming this time is indeed related to Mr. Qin's careful teaching, otherwise you don't have that ability." ”
Let's try it soon, everyone. 】
"In this way, we will not reward you for the time being this time, reward the front-line soldiers with 200,000 taels of silver, and give priority to the families of the fallen soldiers."
"The emperor is wise!" When the ministers heard this, they all said.
"Father, this time to conquer the Wa Kingdom, there are not many soldiers killed in the Ming Dynasty......," Zhu Di said, "Erchen suggested that the soldiers stationed in the Wa Kingdom should be given a settlement fee to encourage them to start a family in the Wa State and marry and reproduce with the women of the Wa Kingdom. ”
"It's the same as the province of Goryeo."
"That's a good idea!" Zhu Yuanzhang said.
"Father, the son is still from the Japanese this time...... Fuso Divine Kingdom brought back 20 million taels of silver and 2 million taels of gold! Zhu Di said again, "It's a greeting gift from the sons to the emperor, and the emperor is invited to laugh." ”
Twenty million taels of silver!?
Two million taels of gold!?
The ministers were shocked when they heard this, and they turned their heads to look, and sure enough, they saw a carriage convoy driving behind Zhu Di. If you look at its deep rut marks, you can see that it is all gold and silver.
How many of them!?
The ministers were shocked, the previous dynasties fought foreign wars, all of which cost the court's silver, and some even drained the treasury.
As a result, whenever the emperor mentioned war, without exception, the ministers collectively opposed it.
Because the money spent on fighting a war is basically to make the people bleed, and after increasing taxes, it will harm the country and the people.
And when King Yan was fighting, he instead transported silver and gold to his family.
And so much more!
"Why are there so many?" Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't believe it when he heard it.
"A small part is the output of the Zudu Mine and the Iwami Silver Mine." Zhu Di said, "Most of the rest of the gold and silver were looted from the feudal lords, landowners, and even generals of the Wa Kingdom. ”
"I see!" Zhu Yuanzhang said. The first money-making strategy that Qin Yu taught him before was that those gentry and tyrants were very rich in their families, and then he made the first pot of gold for the Ming Dynasty by selling words, so Zhu Yuanzhang knew very well in his heart that no matter how poor the people of a country were, those tyrants were always very rich, and said: "They are really rich." ”
Zhu Di went on an expedition to the Wa Kingdom and defeated the Wa generals.
The wealth of the general must have been looted by him.
Then use Qin Yu's methods to deal with those feudal lords, and the land can be scavenged for a large amount of money.
So he fought this time and made a windfall.
As long as the war can be won, it is the best way to make a fortune.
"Take all this gold and silver back into the treasury!" Zhu Yuanzhang said. He didn't plan to return this wealth to the emperor's exclusive inner treasury, anyway, the entire Ming Dynasty belonged to him Zhu Yuanzhang.
When the emperor had strong control over the imperial court, the money in the treasury was in the treasury.
The so-called country is home.
Only when the emperor's ability to control the imperial court was very weak, they would pay attention to the construction of the inner treasury. Then the royal family has become the largest family gate valve at present, which is obviously the behavior of price dropping.
……
In the Qianqing Palace.
Zhu Yuanzhang was upset, and several pieces of rice paper for practicing writing were scrapped by him.
In the end, he simply threw down the brush and bowed his head in contemplation.
An idea came to mind that I didn't even dare to think about.
Take the heir!
King Yan can fight well, and when he was less than ten years old, he dared to run from Jinling to the Poyang Lake battlefield alone. This time, with Hu Weiyong, he easily conquered the Wa Kingdom, and attached equal importance to his generals.
The generals under him respected him very much.
His various performances couldn't help but remind Zhu Yuanzhang of a person.
Li Er!
At the beginning, Li Yuan's crown prince Li Jiancheng was not a weak person, he also had outstanding military and political talents, and he was also a corporal of courtesy and virtuous, and was supported by all civil and military officials.
He was also a good prince.
However, as a result, several brothers were killed by Li Shimin.
How does Zhu Yuanzhang think about it, Zhu Biao is like Li Jiancheng, and Zhu Di is like a copy of Li Er.
And Qin Yu seems to have mentioned to him before that in the history after the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Di succeeded to the throne and became the ancestor of the Ming Dynasty. Although Qin Yu said that Zhu Biao died young, which caused Zhu Di to have to rebel.
History has changed.
But even if his deduction has changed, with his ability, no one can guarantee that he will not mess around in a hundred years.
At that time, the crown prince Zhu Biao will rely on Chang Mao, Chang Sheng, and Lan Yu, as well as his orthodox position and the support of civil officials. It's a pity that Chang Yuchun died too early, and although Lan Yu is young and promising, his military skills are not as good as those elders. And Lan Yu, although he has the ability, he is not easy to control, and he is a master who drinks too much and even dares to attack his own city.
And Zhu Di also has his reliance, that is, his father-in-law Xu Da.
Xu Dake did not die young like Chang Yuchun, his thigh was much thicker than Lan Yu, Chang Mao and other juniors.
Thinking of this, Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help but start to regret that he shouldn't have given Xu Miaoyun to Zhu Di.
As a result, the current prince's team is not as good as King Yan's.
And Zhu Di's descendants are all short-lived emperors, and there is also a wonderful carpenter emperor and Taoist emperor. When he became the emperor, it was a danger to the Ming Dynasty.
Should he be suppressed while he is still in his fledgling?
"Someone!"
"Your Majesty!" The two tigers flashed out.
"Immediately invite the Yan King to meet you!" Zhu Yuanzhang said.
"Yes!" Two Tiger Road.
"Father wants to summon me alone?" In King Yan's mansion, Zhu Di couldn't help but tremble after getting the will. Because Zhu Yuanzhang's summoning this time was definitely not to reward him for defeating the Wa Kingdom.
There must be some other reason!
