Daming: You are really my eldest son

Chapter 45 Join if you can't beat it
It wasn't until this time that Zhu Yuanzhang understood Zhu Ji's intention to let him build a ship.

Go further afield and communicate more frequently.Over time, there will be communication and trade.

Compared with the kings of previous dynasties, Zhu Yuanzhang became the founding emperor step by step from a commoner, and he has a different view on various problems among the people.

Since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang has not only liberalized commercial trade, but even allowed the children of some merchants to enter the court as officials.Of course, there is the idea of ​​pulling wool and cutting leeks, but Zhu Yuanzhang's emphasis on business cannot be ignored.

Think about the problems facing the Ming Dynasty today, whether it is wars on the border or famines in the country, the essence is nothing more than two words-lack of money.

If the national treasury has the money and food to support the millions of troops fighting fiercely for three years, why not worry about riding horses and forests?
If the Ministry of Households had the money to relieve the general famine in the three provinces, how could he, Zhu Yuanzhang, have a headache when he heard about disaster relief?
If a qualified sea-going ship can be manufactured, Ming can bypass the chaotic Northwest region that has not yet been ruled, and start a new Maritime Silk Road.

At that time, it will only take a few years for Daming to obtain a large amount of money and food through maritime trade, and Zhu Yuanzhang can personally create a prosperous age comparable to the "strong man" and "Datang".

Zhu Yuanzhang's heart was full of fire, and the eyes he looked at Zhu Ji were a little hot.

He hadn't taken Zhu Ji's words seriously before, but now he has completely changed his mind.Isn't it just a sea ship, let's build it.With the bottom of the ship left by the remnant yuan, and the Ministry of Industry spending a lot of money to recruit skilled craftsmen, Zhu Yuanzhang still doesn't believe that he can't build a big ship that satisfies his unicorn in a short time.

Sensing Zhu Yuanzhang's scorching gaze, Zhu Ji raised his head and grinned.

"Are your eyes hot?"

Being exposed by Zhu Ji's simple and vulgar way, Zhu Yuanzhang laughed and scolded angrily:

"The world is so big, and other places are so rich and prosperous, so what's wrong with our hot eyes? You bastard, you know how to make fun of me."

However, it seems that Zhu Ji has never lost when it comes to the bickering between the father and son.

"It's useless to be hot-eyed. If you want to go to these places and bring things back, you can't do it without experiencing a narrow escape without experience. In your life, I think it will be difficult."

Knowing that Zhu Ji was setting himself a trap, Zhu Yuanzhang still held his head stubbornly, and responded to Zhu Ji's provocation with a firm and decisive tone:
"So what, when we go back today, we will order the Ministry of Industry to start improving sea ships. I can't do it in this life, and I have to issue a special edict before I die, so that you bastard can fulfill our last wish. If you can't do it, we Let the historians write it down, so that you will be spurned by the descendants of our Zhu family forever."

Zhu Yuanzhang showed a smug smile when he turned his backhand to Zhu Ji.

He knew very well that since Zhu Ji knew so many things, as long as conditions allowed in his lifetime, this bastard would definitely go and see for himself.

Letting Zhu Ji be spurned by his descendants is just a incidental retaliation against Zhu Ji.

However, Zhu Ji's reaction once again refreshed Zhu Yuanzhang's three views: "Everyone is dead, and it has nothing to do with me whether the descendants spit or not. It seems that they can really spit on my face."

As soon as these words came out, even Liu Ji, who was sitting beside him watching the play tremblingly, widened his eyes.

He was wrong before, the eldest prince in front of him was not born divine at all.He doesn't even care about the afterlife, let alone respecting the sky and fearing fate. This is simply a devil in the world.

As for Zhu Yuanzhang, he was completely outraged by Zhu Ji's words.

"What kind of bastard words are you talking about? You don't even care about your own reputation. How can you make others fear you?"

Zhu Yuanzhang reprimanded him habitually, and then realized that it was not Zhu Biao and his brothers standing in front of him.

His old Zhu has more than a dozen sons, big and small, but the oldest one seems to be the most difficult to manage.If you can't fight, you can't fight back, and you can't be beaten, and your dignity as an old man is about to be wiped out.

Sure enough, Zhu Ji glanced at him with disdain again.

"As long as the truth is on my side, if I pick up the knife, others will fear me; if I put down the knife, others will naturally respect me. The premise is that both the truth and the knife are in my hands."

This is probably the simplest truth in the world.

So much so that Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help but be speechless.

Liu Bowen even nodded secretly in agreement.

"But now you have neither reason nor a knife."

Although he agreed with it from the bottom of his heart, Zhu Yuanzhang was still unwilling to admit defeat in this struggle.Shrugging his nose, Zhu Yuanzhang stated the most basic facts with a smile.

He wanted Zhu Ji to understand that he was not only his father, but also the emperor.

When he asked Zhu Ji to fulfill his wish, Zhu Ji neither made sense nor held a knife.Not occupying both ends, Zhu Yuanzhang just wanted to see Zhu Ji speechless in front of him and then throw up his hands and admit defeat.

It's a pity that Zhu Yuanzhang still underestimated his son after all.

Faced with such an embarrassing run, Zhu Ji blinked, stared at Zhu Yuanzhang, then turned his head to look at Liu Ji who was holding back a smile, with a hint of playfulness on his face, then grinned at Zhu Yuanzhang again and said:

"Join if you can't beat it, that's why I agree to recognize you as my father."

After finishing this sentence, Zhu Ji spread his hands and continued happily: "In this way, there will be a knife. In addition to the set of the monarch, minister, minister, father, and son you are paying attention to, when you die, the biggest sword in the world will be destroyed." I also took the truth."

Zhu Yuanzhang was completely shocked by this fallacy.

It was the first time he had heard someone pointing at his nose and saying what to do when he was dead.But these words came out of Zhu Ji's mouth, just to make him unable to attack.

Staring at Zhu Ji with eyes like copper bells for a long time, Zhu Yuanzhang was freed from the contradictory emotions of being angry and laughing.

He understood that it was time to end this conversation today.He was tired, he didn't want to be destroyed, he just wanted to slow down.

Pointing at Zhu Ji and cursing an idiot like venting his anger, Zhu Yuanzhang rolled up his sleeves, turned around and left, not even responding to Liu Ji bowing to see him off.

After walking to the carriage he was riding in, a smile suddenly appeared on Zhu Yuanzhang's face.

Although I heard a lot of bad words today, Zhu Yuanzhang felt more and more that with such a simple truth, such a thick heart, such shameless thoughts, and such broad knowledge, this son is exactly the same as him in some aspects , even better than him.

However, it is not enough.

Zhu Ji's saying is correct, he has already occupied the greatest truth in the world.

But he is not yet able to hold the sharpest knife in the world.

Regarding Zhu Ji's future path, Zhu Yuanzhang had a new idea at this moment.

In the cemetery, Zhu Ji helped Liu Ji who had been bowing to send Zhu Yuanzhang away, looked at Liu Ji's complicated expression, and put the "Da Ming Ji Li" back into his hand:

"Sir, let's continue."
