Chapter 33 Trading the Drawings for the Manufacture of the Great Ming Treasure Ship
If you want to say why Zhu Houzhao would be eager to chop up Liu Daxia, a famous minister of Hongzhi, and feed it to the dogs, this has to start from a long time ago.
Zhu Houzhao also had the idea of going to sea before, thinking of engaging in colonization or something overseas, to plunder all the wealth overseas to the Ming Dynasty, so as to alleviate the internal contradictions of the Ming Dynasty, so that the various power groups in the Ming Dynasty should not always think about making money and enclosing land, but learn to go out and take a long-term view.
As a result, Zhu Houzhao was almost angry to death, and the Ming treasure ship manufacturing drawings left by Yongle Dynasty, as well as various navigation materials, and information about overseas countries, all of which were ruined by Liu Daxia, and his reputation was said to be for the sake of the Ming Dynasty's finances, and he cut off the idea of later emperors going to sea.
The drawings of shipbuilding are gone, and there is no way to talk about overseas colonization, and even the warships used in the attack on Fusang are made by a group of old craftsmen who survived the Xuande period by drawing gourds from memory, and the power is far less than that of the real Ming treasure ship.
With such all kinds of bastard behaviors, it's strange that Zhu Houzhao doesn't hate Liu Daxia, Zhu Houzhao hates the three people the most in his life, Yang Hao, Zhu Qizhen, and this Liu Daxia who has a sick brain.
If Liu Daxia really thinks about the finances of the Ming Dynasty, even if the reason for destroying the manufacturing drawings of the Daming treasure ship is absurd, Zhu Houzhao is not unacceptable, but when he suppressed the coastal wealthy, he actually found some of the manufacturing drawings of the Daming treasure ship from several families, which made Zhu Houzhao completely hate Liu Daxia, the kind of hatred to the core.
Verbally, for the sake of the Ming Dynasty's finances, in fact, he took the most valuable thing of the Ming Dynasty to make profits for himself, this kind of bastard thing, not killing is not enough to take the world.
Even if in his world, Liu Daxia is dead, and even the grave is dug up by Liu Jin, he still doesn't understand his hatred, and wants to kill Liu Daxia again, so he does not hesitate to pay a sky-high price of 50 million taels to buy Liu Daxia's head.
Zhu Qizhen brought Daming from strength to gradual decline, and the act of calling the door threw away Daming's face, while Liu Daxia ruined the opportunity for Daming's rise, and if he didn't break his body into thousands of pieces, crush his bones and scatter ashes, Zhu Houzhao's breath in his heart couldn't be smooth.
"Zhao'er, Liu Daxia is my courtier's minister after all, even if he offends you, you can't do such a tyrannical thing."
Although 50 million taels of silver was very tempting, and he was also very tempted, Emperor Hongzhi still rejected Zhu Houzhao's deal, Liu Daxia was a pillar of the imperial court, how could money be bought and sold.
At the same time, he did not forget to teach this strange son a lesson: "As a monarch, you must be broad-minded, and you can't part ways with the virtuous ministers because of the momentary anger, then it is useless to be in the country, and the monarchs and ministers are of the same heart, and the world can be stable." ”
A serious remark made Zhu Yuanzhang, Zhu Di, Zhu Gaochi, and Zhu Zhanji all secretly feel in their hearts and praised them.
However, they are also a little strange, how could the magnificent Zhu Youzhu give birth to a son like Zhu Houzhao, ruthless, lawless, and even their ancestors are not very respectful.
But they don't know that whether it is the late Hongzhi Emperor of Zhu Houzhao in the world, or the Hongzhi Emperor in front of him, they are all short-lived lords, who died young, and died long before Zhu Houzhao was taught to be a qualified king.
If he can live longer and leave more hole cards for Zhu Houzhao, Zhu Houzhao will not be hindered by Liu Jian, Xie Qian and other civilian groups at the beginning of his ascension.
"It's ridiculous to spend money to buy ministers to kill."
Zhu Yuanzhang reprimanded loudly, forgetting that he was also very tempted by Zhu Houzhao's 50 million taels of silver just now.
Zhu Houzhao likes to watch him teach Zhu Di Zhu Yunwen's uncle and nephew, and he also wants to see Zhu Houzhao trained, you are a bad descendant, you have a lot of silver, and you have reaped benefits from the other world, you don't know how to share it with your ancestors, you deserve to be trained.
"That's it, so brutal and unkind, how can I, Zhu Di, have descendants like you."
Zhu Di followed closely behind Zhu Yuanzhang's buttocks, and he didn't blush when he spoke, in terms of cruelty and unkindness, who can compare to him, didn't he destroy the ten clans of Fang Xiaoru?
Different words, the same thoughts, Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Di are worthy of being the most similar father and son, even the psychology of the black belly is the same, and they all want to see Zhu Houzhao's jokes.
"Zhu Houzhao ......"
Zhu Qizhen hated Zhu Houzhao for beating him before, and he also wanted to follow the lesson and get over it, but it was obvious that he was not Zhu Yuanzhang, nor Zhu Di, so he couldn't suppress Zhu Houzhao at all, and was so frightened by Zhu Houzhao's eyes that he suffocated the words in his mouth.
Even his great-grandson was afraid, Zhu Qizhen couldn't help but blush for himself, and then he vented his anger on Chenghua Emperor Zhu Jianshen: "Look at your good grandson." ”
can't suppress Zhu Houzhao, the fierce and resolute great-grandson, can't he still suppress Zhu Jianshen's son, Zhu Qizhen doesn't believe in that evil, his name has the word "town"!
Zhu Jianshen was speechless, this can all be pulled to him.
Facing Zhu Zhu Youzhi, Zhu Yuanzhang, and Zhu Di's lessons, Zhu Houzhao was a little speechless, and Zhu Youxian taught him a lesson, after all, Zhu Youxian is a benevolent monarch second only to Zhu Gaochi in the Ming Dynasty, and he has never liked to kill.
But Zhu Yuanzhang, why did Zhu Di teach him, he was embarrassed to say that he was cruel and unkind, and he didn't even want to be cheeky, Yang Xian, Hu Weiyong, Fang Xiaoru and others, I don't know who killed him.
He didn't bother to explain, since Emperor Hongzhi came, it means that Liu Daxia is still alive, as long as he is alive, it will never be possible to escape the palm of his hand, and sooner or later one day he will be broken into thousands of pieces, and his bones will be scattered to vent his hatred.
In short, Liu Daxia is killed by him, even if the Jade Emperor comes, it is useless, he Zhu Houzhao said it himself.
"Grandpa Tai, Master Yongle, your saliva can be saved, presumably you don't care about Liu Daxia's life or death, we can negotiate a deal."
Zhu Houzhao said lightly, although it was a pity that he failed to kill Liu Daxia, it also reminded him that Zhu Di had the manufacturing drawings of the Daming treasure ship destroyed by Liu Daxia.
It's nothing more than spending money to buy, the last thing he lacks now is money, the silver mined from Iwami Silver Mountain, and the gold and silver treasures looted by the suppression of various forces are still in the treasure house of the leopard house!
"Deal?"
Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Di glanced at each other, they were all at a loss for the second monk, what deal could they have with Zhu Houzhao, what they had, Zhu Houzhao had, what they didn't have, Zhu Houzhao also had.
"I can pay 100 million taels of silver to buy the manufacturing drawings of the Daming treasure ship in Yongle Ye's hands, as well as all kinds of navigation materials and information about overseas countries."
"The blueprints for the warship in the hands of the great grandfather, I can pay 50 million taels of silver for the naval army to train the art of war."
Zhu Yuanzhang defeated Chen Youliang in Poyang Lake, Zhu Di Daming treasure ship went to the Western Ocean seven times, and the manufacturing technology was very good, with the drawings of the warships and warships of the two dynasties, Zhu Houzhao was sure to study his own Zhengde warship, and threatened the sea and abroad with a huge fleet, and seized infinite wealth.
Although 150 million taels of silver sounds a little more, Zhu Houzhao doesn't care, the money is originally used to spend, if he can get the warship manufacturing technology of the Hongwu Yongle and Yongle dynasties, no matter how much money is paid, it is worth it, and he can use those warships to regain ten times or even more wealth from overseas.
Knowledge is priceless, and it is precisely because of this that Zhu Houzhao hates Liu Daxia for destroying the manufacturing drawings of the Daming treasure ship, and he has always been angry.
