Daming: You are really my eldest son

Chapter 40 Don't be too happy

"Don't be too happy too soon."

When Zhu Biao kept shouting for carnival in his heart, Zhu Ji suddenly poured cold water on him.

"Now I just let you continue to be the prince because virtue is not worthy. If you don't work hard and love the people in the future, and can't let the people of Ming Dynasty live better than I expected, then don't blame me for taking the lead in rebelling against you. "

This is what Zhu Ji warned Zhu Biao.

Now that such an accident of his own has appeared in history, whether Zhu Biao will die young in the future is another matter.

Giving him a vaccination earlier will also save the embarrassment when the brothers turn against each other in the future.

Zhu Biao couldn't laugh anymore.

He never expected that his elder brother would speak so directly, and what he was even more amazed at was Zhu Ji's bravery.

Be good, dare to say that you want to rebel in front of your own father.If this had been put on a group of their brothers, I'm afraid Zhu Yuanzhang's shoe soles would have been stuck on their buttocks long ago.

Of course, although Zhu Yuanzhang showed more restraint, he couldn't remain indifferent to his son's rebellious words.

"Nizi, there is no reason to rebel against one's own family."

Zhu Yuanzhang's scolding relieved Zhu Biao's encirclement, but obviously Zhu Ji didn't intend to easily expose the topic he wanted to talk about.

"Since ancient times, the change of imperial power has been a drama of fratricide. There was the Rebellion of the Seven Kings in the Han Dynasty, the Xuanwu Revolution in the Tang Dynasty, and the Shadow of the Candle in the Song Dynasty. The supreme power has an unparalleled temptation for anyone."

"But few people know that being an emperor is not an easy task."

"Especially our Ming emperor."

The clear separation of the three paragraphs made Zhu Yuanzhang gradually put aside the unhappiness in his heart.He nodded in agreement, but still asked curiously:
"Why do you say it's not easy to be the emperor of Ming Dynasty?"

He has seen Zhu Ji's ability to bite the bullet, and knows that this kid never speaks aimlessly.That being said, there must be a special reason for it.Zhu Yuanzhang wanted to understand, it would be even better if this bastard could talk about the solution.

Zhu Yuanzhang who suddenly put down his airs made Zhu Ji a little bit astonished.

But since Zhu Yuanzhang can grasp this point, Zhu Ji feels that he still needs to make it clear.

"The next thing, don't ask me how I know, I won't tell you, I just know anyway."

First remind Zhu Yuanzhang, and then Zhu Ji solved Zhu Yuanzhang's doubts in an orderly manner.

"Don't you think that natural disasters have come too frequently in these years?"

Without waiting for Zhu Yuanzhang to answer, Zhu Ji continued: "As early as decades ago, this day has changed. In the next few decades or even hundreds of years, this kind of change will continue to repeat. Do you really think that this is Did Heaven punish the Son of Heaven?"

Days have changed.

Nothing can give Zhu Yuanzhang such a strong shock and impact than this sentence.

If this remark came from other people, Zhu Yuanzhang would definitely behead him immediately without hesitation on the charge of deceiving the public, and then block the news so that it will never be known.

But Zhu Ji is his own son, or he believes that it is the auspicious auspiciousness sent down by heaven to the old Zhu's family.Since Zhu Ji was able to tell him about this matter, surely God would not want the people of Ming Dynasty to endure this hundreds of years of suffering.

There was a trace of awe and anticipation in Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes.

He couldn't wait to get the solution to this problem from Zhu Ji.

Obviously, he was going to be disappointed.

The centuries-long changes that Zhu Ji talked about are naturally the fourth Little Ice Age proposed by meteorologists of later generations.

Natural disasters such as drought, flood, locust and snow occur in various places every year. The money and food needed by the imperial court for disaster relief cannot meet their needs, and they need to collect taxes to maintain the operation of the country, so the fate of a dynasty is gradually falling into a deadlock.

To solve this problem, the first thing to do is to increase crop yields.

But now, no matter Zhu Ji or Daming, it is obvious that they do not have considerable ability to accomplish this matter.

"Don't look at me. In my lifetime, I may be able to find a way to counteract the changes of nature with manpower, but it is definitely not now. Of course, there is one thing that can be tried first, for fear that the national treasury will be empty and cannot withstand too much trouble."

Ignoring Zhu Biao and Empress Ma who had already grown their mouths, Zhu Yuanzhang stood up instantly and walked to Zhu Ji, holding Zhu Ji's arm tightly with both hands, his eyes seemed to be shining brightly, as eager as he was when he first started. Like a big girl who has been through personnel affairs:
"Tell me quickly. As long as we can do it, we will order them to do it now."

It has to be said that the continuation of the dynasty is too important for an emperor.

Putting aside the impression that Zhu Ji was born holy, Daming has indeed experienced many natural disasters in recent years.Its frequency, compared with the historical records that can be collected, can be seen very clearly, and it is indeed a bit too outrageous.

As Zhu Ji said, was he rebelling back then because of the serious corruption of officials in Meng Yuan?
No, it was because the crops were cut off, and the Mongolian and Yuan courts continued to collect taxes, which directly forced them, the common people, to make a forced choice between starvation and rebellion.

Even if what Zhu Ji said has only a slight possibility, Zhu Yuanzhang is unwilling to sit back and watch it become a reality.

Therefore, he had to ask Zhu Ji to reveal all the means of coping.

"Shipbuilding. Build a big ship that can sail on the sea for a long time, and train a navy that can float on the sea for several months or even years. When Daming can do these two things, then the first way to survive will not be far away. "

This is the only thing that can be done without the help of the system. Zhu Ji feels that most of the value he can embody now will fall on this matter.

"At that time, I will let you know how big the land under our feet is. And where is the hope of the Ming Dynasty?"

Hearing Zhu Ji's assurance, Zhu Yuanzhang slowly let go.

Then he took a step back, looked at Zhu Ji a lot, and then laughed loudly: "Okay."

"It seems that God does not want the Ming Dynasty that Zhu Yuanzhang personally brought down to repeat the mistakes of Meng Yuan, so he gave us a unicorn."

"Time doesn't wait. When we go back, let Qin Tianjian set a date to worship heaven and ancestors and welcome you back to the court. Since you don't want to be the prince, then you can build your own mansion. We will give you the same power as the prince. You can help our people of Ming Dynasty find a way out, this court, you can do whatever you want."

At this time, Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Zhu Ji as if he was looking at a rare treasure.

At this moment, he was extremely sure that what Liu Ji said to him that day was extremely correct.My eldest son is born holy.

On his right hand, Prince Zhu Biao is about to cry but has no tears.

Brother, it is agreed that you will not be the prince?But why isn't the prince still treating us the same?Wronged.
