Daming: Let you build roads, you have access to highways throughout the country

Chapter 102: Fame and Fortune!!!

When Li Yunlong returned with the Daming army, Zhu Rong came to the territory of Laizhou Mansion.

He did not go directly to Laizhou Mansion, but took the princess to soak in hot springs in Jimo County, under the jurisdiction of Laizhou Mansion.

There are also two hot springs in the Qi Wangfu, one used to make a vegetable greenhouse, and the other into an indoor hot spring, and the two have not soaked less.

However, the princess soaked in the outdoor hot spring for the first time, and she felt that this prince was ~ a little unorthodox.

This is one of the four major hot springs of the Daming Dynasty, and the scenery is also very beautiful, after soaking in the hot spring, the two of them ate a roast on the beach not far away.

After playing here for a few days, Zhu Rong went to Ao Shanwei and several other guards to check it out.

Afterwards, he went to the port of the Daming Water Army and waited for Li Yunlong to return triumphantly.

At present, the asphalt road has not been built here, the road is not particularly easy to walk, and this piece of feng shui treasure land has not been opened because of the sea ban, and there are many saline fields in the fields, and the surrounding people have lived hard.

However, Zhu Rong did not plan to build a textile workshop here, because in a few years, King Lu might go to the fief and take up a domain, and this piece belonged to King Lu’s territory.

Although King Lu would die of illness after staying in the fief for only a few years, he did not want to make wedding clothes for others.

However, Zhu Rong couldn’t watch the people here suffer, and he kept thinking about ways to make money for them.

In the study, Zhu Rong frowned and thought hard, biting the brush, and was writing a chapter for Zhu Yuanzhang.

Basically speaking, the scourge of the Uighur cannot be eradicated for a long time. Zhu Rong suggested countering violence with violence, and under the leadership of the Daming water army, he took many fishermen, drove small boats, crossed the sea, and went to Sakuragi Island to dig for gold together, and the materials grabbed were collected by Daming to collect 50% of the taxes and fees.

Although he built many warships on his own, it cost a lot. Moreover, every time you go on a campaign, you actually consume a lot of silver taels.

And the Daming Water Army went on an expedition to Sakuragi Island and was alone. On the whole, it is still relatively dangerous, and if it is not done, there will be the possibility of total annihilation.

Now Daming is worried about internal and external troubles, and he still can’t take care of Sakuragi Island.

There are few Daming water troops, and if the people are allowed to participate in it, the imperial court can sit and reap the profits.

It can also make the people along the coast get rich quickly.

A big problem is involved, and that is fishing boats.

The Daming Dynasty demanded that the people not go to the sea, and Zhu Yuanzhang had to agree to break this sea ban strategy so that he could let the Daming water army take the people to Sakuragi Island to plunder supplies.

This is also Zhu Rong’s first temptation, and he wants to test Zhu Yuanzhang’s determination to ban the sea now.

In fact, in the Daming Dynasty, a big reason for the sea ban is related to the Wu Kou, if you can control the Wu Kou, how big is the necessity of the sea ban?

Daming must release the sea ban because the Age of Exploration is coming.

If you blindly close the country, you will be surpassed by distant European countries in silence, laying a major hidden danger for the Central Plains.

After writing the chapter, Zhu Rong dried the ink.

Zhu Rong himself admired himself, and for the livelihood of the people, he could be regarded as heartbroken.

However, this chapter still needs to wait for Li Yunlong to return, and it is not convincing to make a copy of his own chapter, but if the spoils brought back by Li Yunlong are sent back to the imperial court, it will be two different things.

The imperial court’s southern conquest and northern war were precisely when there was the greatest shortage of silver, and Zhu Yuanzhang couldn’t help but be unmoved.

However, he heard that above the court, there had been a lot of noise before, and the voices opposing the two-front war of the southern expedition and the northern war were almost continuous, if it were not for Zhu Rong sending charcoal in the fire and sending 300,000 taels of silver, it would not have been possible that now the southern and northern sides have withdrawn their troops at the same time, and the two fronts have returned without success.

And as long as the silver two are enough, this war can be fought all the time, and the most important thing is that now there are more and more Hongwu rifles produced by weapons workshops, and when it is about winter, it is almost possible to organize a decent rifle army.

At that time, even if the southern expedition and the northern war do not produce results, these guns will be sent to the front, and I believe that they can turn the tide of the war.

Soon after, Li Yunlong returned to the port with the Daming water army.

Zhu Rong was very happy, and had already prepared meals and drinks to treat the whole army!

Zhu Rong kept 200,000 silver taels and sent 600,000 silver taels to Zhu Yuanzhang’s side, leaving tens of thousands of scattered silver for these soldiers to divide themselves.

Li Yunlong asked: “Your Highness, there are still some antique calligraphy and paintings, how do you think to deal with them?” ”

Zhu Rong touched his chin, this thing is not recognized by the dignitaries of the Daming Dynasty, and the various imperial cultures of Sakuragi Island are transmitted from the Central Plains.

Daming himself can’t look at these antique calligraphy and paintings.

“Send someone back to Qingzhou City first!”

He pondered and built a museum, if Sakuragi Island disappeared in the future, these would become historical relics.

The loot was quickly sent to Ying Tianfu.

Zhu Rong was not in a hurry to return to Qingzhou, he knew that Zhu Yuanzhang would definitely have new instructions, and instead of running on both sides, he might as well wait for news here.

Above the hall, he was still in a state of turmoil.

The Southern Conquest and the Northern War seemed mighty, but the consumption of the imperial court was extremely intense.

Although the north side fought a few victories, it was not painful, and the south side was unable to annihilate the remnants of the Yuan Dynasty.

The terrain here is really too complicated, not to mention the Ming Dynasty, even in later generations, the Yunguichuan area is still a treacherous terrain, and soldiers must compete for military importance.

The Southern Expedition attacked Yungui from both east and north. From the beginning of the year to now, it is very difficult.

In fact, this battle of the southern expedition will be fought for at least four years before the army of the southern expedition will return to Korea.

And even if Ban Shi returned to the dynasty and eliminated the local remnants of the Yuan Dynasty, the indigenous forces rose again.

This area, like a bottomless pit, constantly consumes the national strength of the Ming Dynasty.

General Zhengnan sent people to urge grain and grass, which caused headaches for the minister of the DPRK.

Thanks to the Daming Dynasty, sweet potatoes have been promoted in the past two years, and the family foundation is slightly richer.

However, the state treasury has already consumed seventy-seven or eighty-eighty-eight, and now there are only two ways to continue to distribute more grain and grass.

The first is to print Daming treasure banknotes, and the second is to collect taxes, no matter what, in fact, they are harvesting people’s power.

The sound of wavering began to appear above the court again, no way, Prince Zhu Biao is a staunch opponent, and Prince Zhu Biao’s influence in the court now is unrivaled.

Zhu Yuanzhang was also iron-hearted, and wanted to carry out the southern conquest and the northern war to the end, after all, fighting a war is not a matter of family, once it starts, how can it be easy to stop the army.

The first impact is the morale of the Ming Dynasty’s army, and the second is that in each battle, the soldiers and horses are not moved, the grain and grass go first, and the manpower, material and financial resources consumed are very huge.

I didn’t see any results, so I hastily collected the troops, which is really a loss!

And the next time we send troops again, it will consume a lot of manpower, material and financial resources.

Next time, there will be no two-front war?

In recent years, has Daming had fewer cases of two-front wars?

Although there has been no previous war like this year, both wars are huge and scorching wars. However, the Daming Dynasty has always been in internal and external troubles, and it is still relatively common to start a war on two or even three fronts at every turn.

At this moment, the messengers sent by Zhu Rong arrived at Yingtianfu.

When Chaotang heard the news, there was an immediate uproar.

The last time Zhu Rong brought news, it was when he calmed down Wu Kou and brought back 300,000 silver taels.

And the reply given by Zhu Yuanzhang, in addition to the reward for meritorious deeds, was to ask Zhu Rong to go to the Sakuragi Island country again.

That means, very clear, the treasury is empty, daddy has no money, you go and get us some more, your dad still has to fight!

Therefore, at this moment, when the court heard that Zhu Rong’s messengers had arrived, they were obviously here to resume their orders.

Above the hall, there was a sudden uproar.

“News from His Royal Highness King Qi?”

“No, you really snatched 600,000 silver taels, right?!”

“Is it so easy to grab? If it is really so simple, how can it not be solved by the successive dynasties? ”

“How can the water army temporarily convened by His Royal Highness King Qi be more powerful than our Daming’s regular water army?”

Zhu Yuanzhang was also overjoyed in his heart, and hurriedly asked the eunuch to pass the messenger to the court.

Sure enough, it was good news again.

The Daming water army returned with a complete victory, capturing about 600,000 silver taels of loot.

After the eunuch finished reading the good news, the court was a sensation!

He actually robbed 600,000 taels of silver and came back?!

Zhu Yuanzhang stood up directly from the dragon chair and stared straight at the eunuch: “Hurry up, hurry up!” Bring us the good news! ”

The eunuch hurriedly trotted over and handed the good news to Zhu Yuanzhang.

Zhu Yuanzhang didn’t sit down, just stood by the dragon chair, stared at the good news with wide eyes, and after confirming that he was not mistaken, he couldn’t help but laugh maniacally: “Hahaha!” Old seven, old seven! You’ve helped us a lot! ”

Prince Zhu Biao stood in front of the group of courtiers, speechless.

What’s going on with the seventh brother?

Why do you give silver as soon as I persuade my father and emperor to retire, and as soon as I persuade my father and emperor to retire, you will give silver?!

But Prince Zhu Biao also had to be surprised, how could he, the seventh brother, train such a powerful water army?!

The water army of the Daming Dynasty has not been particularly strong, and at the beginning of the founding of the country, when the crowd chased the deer, it was suppressed by Chen Youlian’s water army.

After the founding of the country, the sea was banned, and whether it was the battlefield in the south or the north, there was no need for water troops, so it was abandoned.

On weekdays, it is also to deal with some of the southeast coastal areas.

In recent years, there has been no progress.

Previously, he had gone to sea to try to destroy the remnants of Chen Youguan, but he was beaten back.

And His Royal Highness King Qi, the water army created in a short period of time, is actually so powerful, directly drifting across the sea and hitting the hometown of Wu Kou!

He also snatched back a large amount of loot from there for the second time, the last time 300,000 silver taels, this time directly doubled, became 600,000 silver taels!

Every time he tried to persuade Zhu Yuanzhang to withdraw his troops, Zhu Rong sent the silver over, making him very embarrassed as an older brother.
