I want to be a grandson

Chapter 550 It's time to go to the West!

Wang Zhong on the side couldn't help but said: "Master Tie, your Majesty promoted you, why are you still declining, hurry up and thank you!"

"His Majesty."

Tie Xuan raised his head and bowed to Zhu Yunxi, saying: "I have no merit to be promoted to the official position. If I have no merit, how can I be promoted? Your Majesty's imperial grace is so great, and I am ashamed that I cannot accept it. Please forgive me."

Qu Tao who was on the side attacked and said: "Your Majesty, there is someone who dares to beat the court official in the street, and he is a household official. He is acting recklessly. I implore Your Majesty to conduct a thorough investigation, so as to return Lord Tie justice!"

Hearing this, Tie Xuan waved his hands again and again and said, "No need, Your Majesty, I bumped into someone else when my minister's carriage was driving, it's okay for others to do something if they are angry, don't pursue it..." He also winked at Qu Tao again and again, telling him not to eventful.

But Qu Tao didn't seem to see it, and said with a righteous face: "Your Majesty, no matter who beats the court officials, it is contempt for the court and the law. Mr. Tie is kind and can not be held accountable, but the court must give Mr. Tie With justice!"

Tie Xuan couldn't bear it any longer, and said to Qu Tao: "I said there is no need to pursue it, what are you doing with so many things!" Then he saluted Zhu Yunxi: "Your Majesty..."

"I think... what Qu Tao said makes sense..."

Zhu Yunxi said thoughtfully: "You proposed to lower the rank of the son-in-law, and what you did was for the court. If I don't uphold justice for you, wouldn't it be cold to the hearts of loyal ministers?
Tell me, who dares to be so presumptuous!As long as you tell the real name, I don't dare to say which princess's son-in-law he is, and I will definitely punish them severely!Give you a good vent! "

"Your Majesty, there is really no need..."

"It's okay, you can just say it, if anyone dares to trouble you again, I will definitely punish you severely!"

At this time, Tie Xuan's heart was extremely sour, it really was eight catties of Coptis chinensis into the stomach, it was bitter from the inside out!

Knowing that if you don't follow His Majesty's wishes, you won't be able to pass this test, so you can only grit your teeth and say: "Your Majesty bestows the title of Minister of the Ministry of War on this subject, and I... I will thank you! If so, there is no need to pursue it, right?"

But it's not appropriate to accept His Majesty's canonization, which shows that he was promoted and raised by "demotion to the title of son-in-law", and he will also be hated by them!

If given a choice, among the two choices of promotion and punishing the son-in-law, Tie Xuan would not choose either!
But now there is no choice but to choose the lightest one, anyway, they all know that they proposed it...

But it can't be pursued anymore, otherwise what would those son-in-laws think?It's not enough to lower your own grade, but it's worse?
Then they will only hate themselves even more!

He knew that Zhu Yunxi wanted to investigate the matter of his son-in-law beating him. On the surface, he wanted to uphold justice for himself, but in fact he was forcing himself to stand in line!
If His Majesty really reprimanded those two son-in-laws and punished them a little, then he would be considered a stink in the circle of royal relatives!

From then on, those royal relatives and relatives will stay far away from me, and they will be on guard, and they will make trouble when they see the right opportunity!
At that time, the royal relatives and relatives will attack together, and if you really hold on to your own pain, then even if you have ten heads, you won't be able to cut it off!

So try not to offend them if you can!This is also the reason why Tie Xuan chooses to forbear, but if His Majesty really wants to reveal this matter, who is it that the emperor's relatives hate?

They dare not do anything to His Majesty, but they will become their punching bag!
So choose the lesser of two evils, Tie Xuan had to choose the lesser...

"Well, since Keystone is so kind, then... I will let them go!"

"Your Majesty Shengming!"

Hearing this, Tie Xuan finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Zhu Yunxi didn't ask who did it. Their grades have been lowered so much, and they must hate Tie Xuan, the instigator, and they must vent their anger...

Otherwise, the resentment will be stuffed in the stomach, and it will be troublesome if it is transferred to yourself after a long time!
Besides, what if I really pursue it?After all, they are Zhu Yuanzhang's sons-in-law, and fighting is not a big deal, at least it wasn't a big deal in the early Ming Dynasty.
At most, I would just reprimand them. A few months of salary would be enough, and it would not be of much use at all, and it would appear that I was too mean to my relatives, and the gain outweighed the loss...

But the final result made Zhu Yunxi very satisfied, Tie Xuan should be my lonely minister!

This time it is for the royal family, next time think of a way to isolate him from the civil servants...

In this way, Tie Xuan can't escape from his palm!

"Your Majesty, I have something important to report..." Tie Xuan adjusted his mentality and saluted.

Wang Zhong waved to the court ladies and eunuchs winkingly, and told them all to go down, leaving only Qu Tao, Zhang Fu and other confidantes in the side hall.

Tie Xuan said reassuringly: "Your Majesty, Guishan from the Southern Dynasty of the Wonu Kingdom came to the minister's house last night..."

Back to last night.

As soon as it got dark and Tie Xuan had just finished his dinner, someone from his servants reported that someone wanted to see him, and he handed him a card of honor.

After seeing it, Tie Xuan knew it, and immediately asked the housekeeper to take him to the study to talk.

Sure enough, the person who came was Guishan from the Southern Dynasty of the Wonu Kingdom. He used to be a deputy envoy to Daming, and was also in charge of the private trade between the Southern Dynasty and Daming. He had met Tie Xuan many times, so the two were quite familiar with each other.

After exchanging pleasantries, Guishan News gave Tie Xuan a great news that the Southern Dynasty is about to launch a war against the Northern Dynasty!
Although Tie Xuan was happy when he heard the news, there was not much surprise on the surface.

Instead, he said indifferently: "It doesn't matter to us, Ming Dynasty, when or whether you will start the war, but I am in charge of trading with your Southern Dynasty under His Majesty's order.
And you also know that Go Komatsu and General Ashikaga Yoshimitsu of the Northern Dynasty already knew about our affairs, and sent a letter of credence expressly protesting this matter, our business may not last long..."

Gui Shan laughed and said: "My lord said yes, but after the war with the Northern Dynasty, the entire Wonu country will be owned by our Southern Dynasty, and the court power will naturally be decided by our Southern Dynasty, so we can come to the Ming Dynasty to pay tribute in a legitimate way... ..."

Tie Xuan nodded and said: "Very well, if you can really defeat the Northern Dynasty and win the victory, it means that I am right in supporting your choice in the court. If this is the case, others will not dare to say anything else!"

"Don't let the adults down!"

Guishan knew that he also had competitors in the Ming Dynasty, because there were people in the Ming Dynasty who supported the Northern Dynasty, and it was the Qi Tai he had seen before.
He approached Tie Xuan again and said, "My lord, I have brought 240 million taels of silver this time. The war is about to start, and I want to buy some food, medicine, silk tea, and swords. I heard that Ming's muskets are very powerful. If were able……"

Tie Xuan frowned, "It's okay to talk about other things, but muskets are court secrets, not to mention me, even those princes have no right to meddle, and the muskets produced are not enough for Ming Dynasty, how can I give them to you?" !"

Guishan said something again, but Tie Xuan still refused, so he had no choice but to give up.

Originally, he just wanted to get the best, and it didn't matter if he didn't get it. After all, that thing is very expensive, and it is useless if the quantity is small, and it will consume gunpowder, so he doesn't want much.

Tie Xuan asked suspiciously: "Aren't the samurai swords you produce are of high quality? Why do you still come to Daming to buy swords?"

"My lord, I don't know that good quality samurai swords belong to samurai and ronin. This is a big battle, and a lot of weapons must be consumed, so there is an urgent need for a batch of katanas to equip civilians so that they can also fight the enemy..."

"What about the silk tea leaves? You can't still wear silk clothes while fighting, right?"

"Hey hey..." Guishan smiled maliciously: "These things can be used to buy people's hearts and divide the enemy...don't worry, my lord, the other 20 taels are reserved for my lord, and the villain has already sent it to the capital ..."

Tie Xuan nodded to express his understanding, and then asked about their plans and arrangements for this war. Guishan needed the support of the Ming Dynasty, so he would naturally inform him, but he only gave a rough outline and did not elaborate on the details.

Inside the side hall, Tie Xuan reported: "Your Majesty, people from the Southern Dynasty of the Wonu Kingdom have contacted Ouchi Yoshihiro, but Juguishan said that his attitude was ambiguous and did not express his position. From the perspective of my minister, he is still on the sidelines. Really. When it comes to the battlefield, they will not fight Nan Chao desperately...

The Southern Dynasty decided to go to war in the middle of September, when the autumn harvest is over, the grains are returned to the warehouse, and the crops are planted, they have enough food to consume..."

In ancient times, wars were usually launched in spring or autumn. The choice of autumn was generally due to the weather, so that it would not be too cold.

And autumn is because there is enough food after the autumn harvest, so you can go to war with peace of mind, especially for people who are not rich in food supplies.
Because if we fight again in the spring, there may be no food in a long time, and the time until the summer harvest is the time when everyone is afraid of the "green and yellow" that there is no food to fight!
"Your Majesty, they asked for a lot of things this time, and they brought a full 240 million taels of silver. This is because we, Ming Dynasty, are minting silver coins, so we have no choice but to accept them..."

Zhu Yunxi nodded and said: "They are afraid that Daming will wait and see once the battle starts, and they will no longer support them. Hmph, that's all there is to the air!"

Turning to Wang Zhong again, he said: "Wang Zhong, you exchange the silver coins from the internal storage warehouse for those silver coins, and then ask the Baoyuan Bureau to mint them into silver coins and send them back to the inner warehouse."

"Yes, servant girl obeys!" Wang Zhong happily agreed.

240 million taels of silver can be cast into 310 million silver coins!All these belong to His Majesty!I made more than 70 silver coins in one flip!
The Baoyuan Bureau minted coins for His Majesty, and dare to ask for fire consumption!
Tie Xuan opened his mouth. If these factors are attributed to the national treasury, then the profit will belong to the national treasury...

But he didn't say anything against him in the end, and he was almost becoming a lonely minister, what else could he do besides standing firmly on His Majesty's side!
"Your Majesty, in my humble opinion, this transaction can be paid to them one after another. After all, the amount is too large. Only when these things are in Daming's hands can they be used more easily."

Looking at Tie Xuan, Wang Zhong couldn't help but think to himself, the civil servants have become black, so black that they don't even want their faces!

People paid money, and you still pay one after another. If you see carrots, let’s not talk about it, so you can handle it... It’s really black-bellied!
"Well, what you said is reasonable, let's do it accordingly!"

This is simply a bird of a feather... Ahem... Hearing Zhu Yunxie's words, Wang Zhong was completely speechless. He didn't dare to slander the emperor!
"Your Majesty, if the Southern Dynasty wants to go to war, it must cut off the Northern Dynasty's access to food and other things, otherwise they will get supplies from other places, which will be very unfavorable to the situation in the Southern Dynasty.
They are already stronger than the Southern Dynasty, so we can no longer let them take advantage, this is also the request made by the envoys of the Southern Dynasty..."

Zhu Yunxi thought for a while and said: "Tell them, when the war breaks out, I will issue a letter of credence, telling Ming's vassal states, including Korea and Western countries, that they can come to Ming to pay tribute!"

"Ma He, your city shipping department must get ready immediately for the voyage to the West!"

"Yes! I obey!" Ma He bowed and saluted.

Your Majesty, you have discussed with him several times in private, Mahe naturally understands the trick.

And Zhu Yunxi allowed the vassal states to do business, and also traveled to the West, the purpose of which was to prevent all countries from trading with the Japanese slave state!
After all, you can't cut off people's money.

There are some things that need not be said explicitly, as long as hints are enough, I believe they can all understand!

What's more, when Daming's things go out, they will definitely be able to exchange for huge wealth. This is what Zhu Yunxi is very greedy for.

Taking advantage of the opportunity of the Japanese slave country's war, it just happened to finalize the matter of going to the West.

"This voyage to the West is to trade with other countries, earn money, and obtain some supplies that Ming Dynasty lacks. On the other hand, it is to eliminate pirates, especially Chen Zuyi!"

Zhu Yunxi's eyes became sharper: "Chen Zuyi has been in Daming's vassal state for many years, and he also went to the southeast coast to plunder, which harmed Ming Ming's prestige.
I had already talked with the vassal states in the Western Ocean at the beginning of the year. They also hated Chen Zuyi and asked Daming to send troops to wipe him out. This time, Ma He will find an opportunity to destroy this group of bandits! "

"My minister obeys! I swear that I will capture Chen Zuyi alive so that the law of the country can be rectified!"

Ma He said with some worry: "Your Majesty, through this voyage to the Western Sea, some pirates will definitely be eliminated, but there are thousands of miles above the sea, and some pirates are entrenched on islands that don't know where. , if they trade with the Japanese slave country...

Also, if the Northern Dynasty is really short of resources, it will inevitably increase its bargaining chips. In the face of huge interests, it is difficult to guarantee that the small Western countries will not secretly communicate with the Japanese..."

Although they are a vassal state of Ming Dynasty, over the past few years, Ming Dynasty has implemented a ban on the sea, and except for the official tribute trade, other trades have almost been cut off.
This also caused Daming's control over the vassal state to be far from enough. If it wasn't for gaining some benefits from Daming, and at the same time being afraid of Daming's military front, they really didn't need to bow their heads and surrender!
Although Ma and Saiyang can make up for their trade vacancies, if the Northern Dynasty really pays a big price and has big profits to make, will they obediently listen to Daming's words and ignore them in front of interests?

The world is bustling for profit, and the world is bustling for profit!

"Bring the Kanyu map!"
