Chapter 81: The God of Wealth of the Ming Dynasty

Zhu Zhanyan has always been a selfish person, and that's what he thinks.

Don't think that when a person has a certain ability, he has to give back to the society, this kind of thing can't be done by touching the upper and lower lips.

As far as the current situation is concerned, even if Zhu Zhanyan really has the heart to give back to Daming, how much do you think he can do?

First of all, no matter what he does, he has to go through the old man first to see if the old man agrees.

Secondly, he has to bear the suspicion of the old man, because he is not the eldest grandson, and he has a father who wants to compete for the throne.

In the end, he still has to look at other people's faces, after all, not everyone is willing to get better.

Let's take the high-profile test results and instant make-up in the past two days, these two suggestions can actually analyze the meaning of many interpretations in many aspects.

From Zhu Zhanyan's side, he simply helped his father pass a test, and at the same time pulled his uncle, after all, if his father passed the test, but the uncle didn't pass the test, it would not be a good thing.

If Zhu Gaochi's side is not passing, the old man's dissatisfaction will follow, but this dissatisfaction will not be vented on Zhu Gaochi's body, but on Zhu Gaochu's body.

That's right, it's Zhu Gaochu, not Zhu Gaochi.

This is still the checks and balances mentioned before, the old man has always encouraged the weak side and suppressed the advantageous side.

Zhu Gaochu handed in a perfect answer, but Zhu Gaochi didn't, is the old man capable of looking at the generals? So it has to be suppressed.

From Zhu Gaoxu's point of view, these two suggestions are a good thing, after all, they suppress the arrogance of civil officials, but they are not so good when combined.

After all, his side also suffered losses, and it was clear that the credit for the Northern Expedition was so great, but in the end it didn't play a role.

From Zhu Gaochi's point of view, these two suggestions are beneficial and harmless, because he is the prince, and if there is no accident, he will succeed to the throne in the future, how can he let the officials be left to the corpse of a vegetarian meal?

In addition to the Zhu family, the rest are Wenchen and military generals.

The generals are naturally happy to see it come true, because these two suggestions have nothing to do with them, and Wenchen's side is not very optimistic.

The test method has tied them to the chain, and in the future, you have to work hard for the Zhu family all the time, once the KPI is not up to standard, then you can clean up and get out.

The immedial supplement was to hang a sharp sword over their heads, and it also caused their own internal strife.

are all officials, who wants to be willing to be a substitute?

Therefore, the most difficult and anxious thing to do now is actually the civilian officials.

Originally, Zhu Zhanyan didn't want to, he always believed that the active side is always better than the passive, and he still hoped that people could take the initiative to do it, rather than being driven to do it.

But the civilian government has gone a little too far.

Of the more than 20,000 people he killed in Yangzhou before, although most of them were family members of corrupt officials, and profiteers also accounted for a large part, the number of influential officials was still approaching 1,000.

Well? Wrong? When did I kill it? I remember that the commander of the Jinyi Guard did it, Ji Gang?

Zhu Zhanyan shook his head and threw this wrong idea out of his mind.

"Forget it, the recent year has been unfavorable, and it's not suitable to go out......" Zhu Zhanyan thought about it, and felt that he seemed to have some twists and turns recently.

"Zhu Ling, let people go out to buy a sheep and come back, I won't go out today, just stay at home."

"Okay." Zhu Ling was ordered to leave.

The victory of the war has many benefits to the Ming Dynasty, the most obvious is that the territory of the Ming Dynasty has greatly increased, and the horse breeding land of the Ming Dynasty has also expanded a lot.

In the battles between the Central Plains and the grasslands of all dynasties, there is a word that has been mentioned the most often, and this word is Hetao.

The Hetao area has always been an important source of confidence for the Central Plains to fight against the grasslands, because with the Hetao, the Central Plains can have a large number of war horses.

Han has a Hetao, Wei Qing and Huo Quai, two god generals, can ride horses on the grassland and go straight to the Xiongnu royal court.

Tang has a grassland, Li Jing can restrain Ma Yin Mountain, capture Jieli Khan, and make Tang Taizong Li Shimin become a heavenly khan.

Song didn't have a loop, so they could only be bullied all the time.

Now Daming not only has a river loop, but also a large grassland, which makes it even more difficult in the future.

In the past, they wanted to fight against the Ming Dynasty, but it was actually relatively simple, because as long as they could seize the Hetao, they could slowly drag the Ming to death in the future, but now they can't.

They had to take back the grassland first, then seize the Hetao, and then go to fight a war of attrition with the Ming Dynasty.

This comes and goes, to say the least, it has to start in twenty or thirty years.

In addition to raising horses, this northern expedition also brought more direct and obvious benefits to the Ming Dynasty.

Money.

So many people on the grassland were not killed in vain, after completely destroying the Tatars and building their people into Jingguan, those war horses, cattle and sheep were captured by the Ming army.

In the past, when Zhu Gaoxu was dealing with the issue of bereavement for the casualties, he had had several times with Xia Yuanji, the head of the household.

The seizures of this northern expedition were a lot, but there were not many treasures such as gold and silver, after all, the grassland was not famous for this.

At the beginning, Zhu Gaoxu's idea was to ask Xia Yuanji to send the captured war horses to the military department as soon as possible, and then sell the remaining horses, cattle and sheep, so that the household department would have money to pay pensions to the casualties.

But he was rejected by Xia Yuanji.

Xia Yuanji's assertion is that the Ming army has captured too much this time, and if he is in a hurry, then the price will inevitably be reduced, so he plans to sell it slowly in batches.

For this reason, Xia Yuanji even requisitioned the stables and horse farms of the Ministry of War, all of which were raised with horses, cattle and sheep, and the Ministry of War complained to Zhu Di, but it was useless.

Because Xia Yuanji went back with a word: If you don't let you raise it, then your future military expenses will not be settled.

As the God of Wealth of the Ming Dynasty, Xia Yuanji is quite slippery with the word finance, to what extent? Even Zhu Zhanyan was amazed.

The Ming army began to return to the dynasty in June, and when they returned to Yingtianfu, it was already September, and then Xia Yuanji increased the number of cattle and sheep a lot in these two months.

There is no other reason, cattle and sheep are basically born around autumn.

For this hand, Zhu Zhanyan also had to sigh awesomely, the God of Wealth of the Ming Dynasty is really well-deserved.

"Your Highness."

Zhu Zhanyan was thinking about it, when Zhu Ping's voice remembered, making him open his eyes slightly.

The sun in late autumn and early winter is warm, but also harsh.

"Tobe Shangshu Natsuharaji is visiting."

"What's that?" Zhu Zhanyan sat up suddenly.

What the hell is this, say Cao Cao Cao arrived?
