Father can be an enemy country

Chapter 314

"Why? Silly boy, dad is not afraid of your mother and concubine, but..." Zhu Yuanzhang organized his words and taught his son: "It's that the men of our Zhu family love their wives, understand? How do you love your wife? That's Report good news but not bad news, how many crimes you have suffered outside, how many dangers you have encountered, you can’t tell them all when you go home. You can’t let women be frightened along with you, understand?”

"But, that's my mother." Zhu Zhen said naively, "I haven't married a wife yet."

"You..." Boss Zhu almost choked the sixth child to death, and raised his hand to make him feel a little paternal love, but thinking of this kid's tenth level of grudge, he touched his head instead, and sighed road:

"Let's just help the old father. Because of the marriage between your elder sister and Li Qi, the queen mother is already full of anger. If you know that your father has put you in danger again, then it's not good, oh..."

"Father is the emperor, what can the queen mother do? I can't beat you with a feather duster, can I?" Zhu Zhen was puzzled.

"That's impossible! How is it possible? We are the emperor, who dares to move a finger of us, we will copy her nine clans!" Zhu Yuanzhang said in a rough voice, and couldn't hide his guilt: "Of course, we would have to commit suicide in that case." ..."

"Then there is nothing we can do about taking the queen mother." Zhu Zhen sighed and said, "Finally I know who the fourth brother will follow."

"Don't talk nonsense, kid. Can the fourth child be like us? He is afraid of his old father-in-law. Your father and I just respect your mother purely. Do you understand?" Zhu Yuanzhang blew his beard and stared, wrapped his arms around the neck of the sixth child and said: "Just say, can you help this gang?"

"What's the benefit of helping?" Zhu Zhen wasn't afraid of him at all. "Help if it's beneficial."

"Stinky boy, are you cheating on your father?" Zhu Yuanzhang still couldn't help it, gave him a headache, and scolded him with a smile: "We agree with the things you said about Korea. Are you okay?"

"But what does that have to do with me?" Zhu Zhen refused to agree, "We solved the problem of Koryo for my father, and since then Koryo has been loyal to me, and my father has not sent troops to attack. Looking at it horizontally and vertically, it is all about my father. How can I be rewarded for getting benefits? Who is taking advantage of whom? "

"Young lady..." Zhu Yuanzhang let go of him, and said angrily, "Tell me, what else do you want?"

"Marketing Department." Zhu Zhen saw the poor dagger and said, "How about reopening the Municipal Shipping Department?"

"Oh?" Boss Zhu glanced at his sixth child unexpectedly. In the past two years, he would have thought that someone had instigated the sixth child to say that.

But now Zhu Yuanzhang doesn't think so, because he already knows that this little fat man is not usually precocious.Especially under the training of Liu Ji, his knowledge has far surpassed ordinary people, even surpassed many ministers.

So Zhu Yuanzhang asked seriously: "Why are you interested in Shibosi?"

"On the way back, my son rescued a man named Wang Dayuan." Zhu Zhen then told Zhu Yuanzhang about Wang Dayuan, especially the three strategies to suppress the Japanese.

"Good guy, you go out for a trip, this is to arrange for Korea and Japan." Zhu Yuanzhang touched his head happily. What he is looking forward to most now is for his sons to grow up as soon as possible and share his worries.

"Father just said, is there any reason for these three strategies to suppress the Japanese?" Zhu Zhen asked.

"It makes sense." Zhu Yuanzhang nodded and said, "The first one is to take the initiative to attack. We agree. We have figured it out over the years. Why are these Japanese bandits hard to eliminate even though they are not very strong? In fact, they are fighting with the Tartars now It’s very similar, it’s all relying on the wind to come and go, which makes us tired of coping. So if we want to fight the Japanese plague, we really have to take the initiative to destroy the nest of thieves.”

"Yeah." Zhu Zhen nodded vigorously. "Keeping the enemy out of the country's gates is the only way to keep the country safe. That's the reason."

"The second 'destroy the root cause' is also reasonable. But we have already been appeased by people who can be appeased, and the rest are determined to fight against us. Besides, the blood debt of my Ming people, Haven't got it back yet." Zhu Yuanzhang said domineeringly: "So we still have to destroy them all!"

"However, the Japanese island that Wang Dayuan mentioned is now in the Southern and Northern Dynasties, and the Northern Dynasty is the official court. This is the first time we have heard of it. The envoys sent always thought that Prince Laoshizi was the king of Japan! What a waste! "Zhu Yuanzhang said:

"Of course, you can't trust Wang Dayuan's words. You have to send someone to contact that Ashikaga general to see if this is the case. If it is true, they can really take advantage of their domestic conflicts."

"Yeah." Zhu Zhen nodded vigorously.

"But in fact, we want to send a large army across the sea to conquer the Japanese and conquer Japan. If we can do what Kublai Khan failed to do, wouldn't it mean that Ming is stronger than Meng Yuan?" Zhu Yuanzhang sighed:

"It's a pity, our Great Ming Dynasty was established too quickly, and internal and external troubles emerged one after another. I don't know when we will have this opportunity."

Hearing this, Zhu Zhen slapped his chest loudly and said, "Father, don't worry, I will let you see that day!"

"Haha, heroism, you really deserve to be our Zhu Yuanzhang's son!" Zhu Yuanzhang patted Lao Liu on the shoulder happily and said, "If there is such a day, we will definitely let you be in command!"

"Okay, Father, we've made a deal!" Zhu Zhen raised his hand.

"It's a deal!" Zhu Yuanzhang smiled and gave him a high-five.

"Is there a third strategy?" Zhu Zhen asked again.

"The third strategy is to 'reset the Shipping Department and vigorously develop maritime trade'..." Zhu Yuanzhang said with a look of disapproval:
"Lao Liu, you let him deceive you. Over the years, the Shibo Department has not collected a few taxes, otherwise why would we be willing to close it?"

"Father, is there a possibility that because smuggling is too rampant, the Shibo Division cannot collect taxes?" Zhu Zhen asked, "Otherwise, why did the Shibo Division in the Song Dynasty make money, while the Shibo Division in the Yuan Dynasty couldn't collect taxes?" It can also make money, so how can we lose money as the Shibo Department of Daming?"

"Hiss..." Zhu Yuanzhang rubbed his chin, and said awkwardly: "The Ministry of Education said that, we thought it was a trivial matter, so we didn't think much about it, so we agreed."

"A trivial matter?" Zhu Zhen shook his head and said, "When I passed by Taicang, I summoned the officials of the original Shibo Department. After talking with them, I learned that in the middle of the Northern Song Dynasty, Shibo's income reached 50 guan. In the Southern Song Dynasty, Shibo Ship income is as high as 150 million to 200 million guan, accounting for [-]% of the country's annual income at most!"

"In the Yuan Dynasty, most of the time, the income of Shibo was higher than that of the Southern Song Dynasty, and it still accounted for 400% of the country's annual income. The Taicang Shibo Department alone handed over [-] catties of pearls and [-] taels of gold to the Yuan court a year! That’s why people said at the time that Shibo’s income was ‘funded by the military’!”

"Hey, how much?" Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes widened. For a poor and crazy emperor, the temptation of these numbers was too great.

Zhu Zhen curled his lips and said, "The Yuan Dynasty has only been dead for a few days? Check the archives, and you will know?"
