People in Hongwu, from heavenly master to emperor master

Chapter 106 The future will be bitter, but he is Zhu Yuanzhang
"how do I say this?"

Empress Ma has a docile temperament and always looks amiable.

Although Zhang Yi saw her for the first time, he somehow felt that this new aunt was very nice.

He grinned: "Is it because Uncle Huang is traveling all year round and wants to leave a portrait of you as a comfort?"

Empress Ma laughed angrily, and with a hint of shame, she gestured:
"My old Huang is right, you are really glib..."

"Sister, don't hit me, I'm not good at painting!

Find a place to sit down, and I will draw for you! "

Zhang Yi has asked someone to make a simple drawing board for a while, and he is very familiar with drawing.
Soon, the painting of Empress Ma was completed by Zhang Yi, and Zhu Biao and Zhu Yuanzhang were behind Zhang Yi, but this piece of Yi was like casting magic, outlining the lines one by one, and then using different techniques with pencils to draw Light and shadow effects bring the image of Empress Ma to life on the paper.

"so similar!"

Even though it was not the first time they had seen sketches, Zhu Biao and Zhu Yuanzhang still felt that the process of Zhang Yi's drawing was like a magic trick.

Even a wrinkle or a trace of charm on Empress Ma's face was captured by Zhang Yi.

"Auntie, come and see!"

After Zhang Yi finished painting, he called Empress Ma over. She looked at her own painting and was also stunned.

She picked up the picture quality and couldn't put it down.

"My master is right, your painting method is indeed a ghostly skill!"

"Draw me one too!"

Lao Zhu was already eager to try, Zhang Yi nodded in agreement, and also drew a picture for Lao Zhu.

Lao Zhu was happier than Queen Ma when he got the painting.

"Go back and find someone to frame it!"

He handed over the painting to Zhu Biao, and Lao Zhu decided that he must put the painting in the light, so he wanted to see it. Who else would tell him that he was a shoehorn?

After all, Zhang Yi is a seven-year-old child, and his physical strength was almost exhausted after painting two pictures.

At this time, Deng Zhongxiu brought snacks and tea, and a group of people sat together and chatted about family affairs!
"It's a pity that your father has already returned to Longhu Mountain and is about to travel far away. I don't know when we will see you again!"

Zhu Yuanzhang looked for an opportunity to open up the topic, and gave Zhang Yi a meaningful look:
"He actually asked the emperor to ask you for a chance for the son of the country to learn to study. You should cherish it, but you brat, you are here to sharpen people, and you just went to make him angry like that?"

Everyone present stared at Zhang Yi with a half-smile, and Zhang Yi rarely blushed:
"Isn't there no way!"

Lao Zhu put on the posture of an elder, and said earnestly:
"Zhang Yi, my uncle advises you, Guozixue is a rare Qingyun road, unless you really want to seek the immortal way, you should cherish this opportunity!
Xu Cunren, the son of the country, is a great Confucian with profound knowledge, and also the teacher of the prince. His knowledge can teach you more than mistakes. If you have the opportunity, you can worship him as your teacher! "

Hearing this, Zhang Yi smiled slightly.

Worshiping Xu Cunren as a teacher, isn't the birthday man hanged himself to seek death?
"Are you trying to say that the official dogs of the Zhu family don't do that?"

Just as Zhang Yi wanted to speak, Lao Zhu already knew what fart he was about to fart!Seeing old Zhu's angry eyebrows, he didn't dare to say more
He almost forgot that Uncle Huang is an imperialist and a fan of Lao Zhu!

But he also felt strange, businessman, imperial party?
Does Uncle Huang have the M attribute?
"Everything is inferior, only reading is high! You see, our father and son ran all over the world for a little yellow and white things, and in the end we were despised and exploited by others.

You see, I have some family background now, maybe one day I will offend a certain official and lord, and it will only be a blink of an eye to ransack the family and exterminate the family!

Who knows about the heartache? "

Empress Ma and Zhu Biao listened to Lao Zhu's words quietly, and the mother and son looked at each other.

Zhu Yuanzhang's approach to Zhang Yi is the most important factor, but from his earnest persuasion, the two also heard a trace of sincerity.

Empress Ma smiled, she hadn't seen Lao Zhu so earnestly to outsiders for a long time.

"Uncle, I understand. When the emperor exploited the rich families in the south of the Yangtze River, you didn't suffer less, did you?"

Zhang Yi's words made Lao Zhu's face turn red, and he was so angry that he couldn't speak for a long time.

Lao Zhu had indeed exploited wealthy households in the south of the Yangtze River, but he himself forgot about this, so Lao Zhu, who was exposed by Zhang Yi, felt that the person he set up was like a fool.

Zhu Biao lowered his head, holding back a smile, and his father was tempered by Zhang Yi again.

"Actually, I have known Uncle for so long, but I don't know what kind of business Uncle does?"

Zhang Yi didn't want to get entangled in the matter of Guozixue, and he didn't want to say much about Xu Cunren's fate or the emperor's future.

Zhu Yuanzhang was suddenly stopped by the question. When he set up Huang He as a character, didn't he think so far?
But his thoughts turned quickly, and he immediately replied:
"There are some businesses in the sea, and I run a cloth shop in my hometown, but I came to Yingtian this time because I wanted to find other ways..."

Clothing, in ancient times, was a big profitable business, plus the sea route.

Zhang Yi immediately thought of a familiar person, Shen Wansan...

Thinking of Shen Wansan, Zhang Yi thought of another thing.

"Uncle runs a cloth business, but it's a serious business, but for this sea business, it's better for uncle to quit as soon as possible!"

"why?"

Lao Zhu's heart skipped a beat, and he vaguely felt that Zhang Yi was about to reveal his secrets to him again.

"Within three years, Daming will have no board to enter the sea!"

"why?"

"Because His Majesty will ban the sea within three years, if uncle still manages the sea business at that time, I'm afraid he will suffer heavy losses!"

"Now that the world is uncertain, the Ming Dynasty does not have a firm foothold. When the capital is conquered and the north is pacified, the emperor will soon face a real problem, that is, how to govern this world full of holes?
Rehabilitation is a national policy that has always been implemented in all dynasties, and considering the current situation in the world, His Majesty will probably implement it more strictly than in the future!

Even if I, Ming, beat the Mongols out of the Central Plains, the surrounding situation is not optimistic. Yunnan, Tubo, Western Regions, Beiyuan, these places will probably use weapons in the future!
As for the sea, not to mention my nephew's bad language, my uncle's business may have overlaps with those Japanese pirates, pirates and Zhang Fang's old department. The profit of sea trade is indeed high, but there are two disadvantages!
First, the Japanese pirates, Fang Guozhen, and Zhang Shicheng’s former troops have enough power to shake the foundation of the Ming Dynasty at sea. These people may not have much influence in normal times, but when the Ming Dynasty is almost everywhere. It will become a key link in the collapse of national strength!
The southeast is the world's granary and a place where wealth gathers. When Daming faced three swordsmen and was unable to go to sea, this was the emperor's aggrieved plan and he had to choose! "

Zhu Yuanzhang's chest heaved up and down, and the future that Zhang Yi talked about was too immersive.

He could already imagine how aggrieved he was helplessly.

Old Zhu is naturally narrow-minded. Although he does not lack the mind to judge the situation and take a step back, but with his extreme temper, when he makes a choice, the feeling of humiliation will be deeper.

"Secondly, the profits of private trade are too great. Which of the big households in the south of the Yangtze River does not participate in it? The profits brought by these trades will not bring taxes to Daming. The common people are engaged in trade, so who can recuperate? The second reason for the sea ban is to cut off the thoughts of the wealthy households in the south of the Yangtze River, lock the common people on the land of Ming Dynasty, and let them produce honestly!
This is actually a helpless choice, sacrificing the possibility of the future in exchange for Daming's peace!

This is the inevitable choice of Ming Dynasty, but the emperor can't take care of it for the time being!
So my nephew would like to remind you, if you have earned enough, stop now...

Although the emperor emphasized agriculture and suppressed business, and the life of businessmen was not easy, but Ming's business tax was low, so there was no way out! "

Zhu Yuanzhang looked thoughtfully at Zhang Yi meaningfully.

This so-called sea ban policy once again strengthened Zhang Yi's personality as a god.

Although he had never thought about the sea ban policy at this time, Zhang Yiyi analyzed that the sea ban was an inevitable choice.

How much did this kid see about Daming's future?
"and many more……"

While Lao Zhu was thinking, Empress Ma seemed to have discovered something different.

She asked with some concern:
"Although I'm a woman, I shouldn't interrupt, but you said that I, Da Ming, will be armed with swords on all sides in the future. Is this true?"

"I go!"

Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Biao were immersed in Zhang Yi's analysis of the sea ban policy, and only then did they realize the seriousness of the question Queen Ma asked.

What does it mean that Daming will face swordsmen on all sides, will the future be so miserable?
The Ming Dynasty just started its business, and Lao Zhu is still working hard to push the crystal tower in Dadu. The tower has not been finished yet. You tell me there are still many towers waiting?

Zhang Yi thought it was funny seeing their father and son bewildered.

Probably every citizen of Daming was also in despair when he heard these words.

Fighting a war means military spending, military spending means taxation...

It means that the suffering of the people is not over yet!

The mess left by the Yuan Dynasty to Daming can't even scrape out much of the oil star. Zhu Yuanzhang spends most of his military expenditures, and Soute Niang is borrowed and borrowed...

If he hadn't been so poor, he wouldn't have reneged on his debt later.

But what Lao Zhu and Zhu Biao thought in their hearts was that after the battle of most of them, the Mongols were driven away, and they could live a good life with their wives and children on the kang.

They have to rest and recuperate, and they have to resort to military force.

Thinking of his future days, Lao Zhu felt chest tightness and shortness of breath, and his legs and feet were weak.

Made, is there no end to this future?
It's so hopeless!

Zhang Yi quite understood the ignorance of Lao Zhu and his son. He had seen a statistic in his previous life.

In the 31 years of the Hongwu Dynasty, a war was launched every two years on average.

In terms of the frequency of wars, compared with the Ming Dynasty, other dynasties are probably embarrassed to say that they are militaristic.

But it was such a militaristic dynasty, a militaristic emperor.

In the case of fighting on one side, the Ming Dynasty was riddled with holes in the first year of Hongwu, and the local finances were unable to pay taxes for years to the prosperous scene of the four peoples in the 26th year of Hongwu. Local finances have also become millions of stones from the capital, and the state and county warehouses have a lot of savings!
While militarizing, he recuperated and left a rich family fortune to future generations.

Since ancient times, only one emperor, Zhu Yuanzhang, has probably accomplished this kind of achievement!

This is why although Zhang Yi doesn't like Lao Zhu's temperament, he really admires the emperor in the palace.

Such a hero, if he can't be called an emperor through the ages, who deserves it?

"Uncle, don't panic, although the future will be a bit bitter, and our Ming Dynasty may have more wars, but we have His Majesty here, and he is Zhu Yuanzhang...

He is an emperor through the ages! "

Zhang Yi began to comfort Lao Zhu,

Zhu Yuanzhang raised his head and looked at Zhang Yi.

Zhang Yi, who has always had a hippie smile and no serious behavior, was rarely serious when he said this sentence.

He was confused, this kid really didn't give face when he insulted him, but his trust in himself was different from other people's sincerity.

It was also when it was dark that he worked too hard, and when Zhang Yi recognized him, Zhu Yuanzhang was actually a little touched.

However, thinking of the future that Zhang Yi described, Old Zhu's head is as big as a bucket.

It's too difficult to be an emperor through the ages, you, Zhang Yi, can trust Lao Zhu for a fart.

He doesn't even believe in himself!
