People in Hongwu, from heavenly master to emperor master

Chapter 267 Information in history books, killing Japanese pirates
"Uncle, there is no need to be envious, this is probably the most I can earn with glass mirrors in the next year!

The so-called luxury goods, pay attention to a thing that is rare and expensive, if I try my best to take it out, there is a high probability that I will not be able to sell it at a higher price in the future!

Moreover, it is not uncommon for the Shen family and the Wu family to have a fight like this! "

Lao Zhu's eyes were gloomy, making Zhang Yi's hair stand on end.

This Uncle Huang was also provoked by him?The so-called money touches people's hearts. Although Lao Huang may not really want to rob himself, his pirate temperament inadvertently revealed is quite scary.

Zhang Yi explained:

"Any industry must eventually return to reason!

For the auction, you can use the fact that the guests have not experienced this matter to play some tricks at the beginning, but wait until you have experienced it!
After all, we still rely on service to win!
As for my glass mirror, I will sell one or two sides at the end of the year at most...

No matter how many others there are, it will really make people jealous!

And I can't keep the 3 taels of silver, except for the necessary taxes and commissions from the auction house!
If you don't spend some time out, there is a high probability that someone will shout!

So I gave 1 taels to my uncle, and I have to take out 1 taels of silver to invest in running the school in Longhushan......

The remaining 9000 taels are my own expenses!
If you count the money I have to pay back to the Kong family and Chen Ke, there is actually not much left! "

In order to support Lao Zhu to go to sea, Zhang Yi owed a lot of money, and the lack of money during this period has tortured him quite a lot.

After finally earning some money, of course the money must be paid back first.

After being debt free, you don't have to put too much pressure on yourself!

On Chen Ke's side, if it's time to procrastinate, procrastinate...

"School?"

Zhu Yuanzhang was puzzled, why did he invest 1 taels of silver in running the school?

The silver is not too much, but it is not too much.

"Recently Chaotian Palace discovered something in the process of promoting simplified characters...

I think it is necessary to come up with a word recognition textbook!

However, unlike elementary school textbooks such as Thousand Characters, what I want to teach is to recognize characters by looking at pictures...

There is no such type of book on the market, but it is very suitable for the people at the bottom!
For the first book, the goal is to recognize 5000 characters, and I plan to use about [-] taels of silver to publish the book!
The remaining 5000 taels of silver will be given to the suffering Taoist temples below as performance, which can be regarded as encouragement! "

Zhu Biao asked:
"To promote the school, Longhushan still needs to give money?"

"It's fine if you don't give money, but if you want the horse to run, you have to let the horse not eat grass. This is human nature...

But according to the routine, I, Longhushan, can't afford it. The 5000 taels of silver is considered a reward.

Pindao put money into the promotion of simplified characters, no one can tell Pindao, the protection fee is paid, the emperor can't embarrass me, right? "

Zhang Yi's damn desire to survive made the Zhu family father and son dumbfounded.

Pay taxes according to law, actively participate in education, and write slogans...

"Young Master Zhang is generous, with the speed at which you make money...

Really worth it! "

Lao Zhu was still jealous of the profit of the glass mirror, Zhang Yi smiled and said:
"This is how advanced productive forces crush backward productive forces!

Our Huaxia is the kingdom of heaven in this world, not because our Huaxia knows more about ethics, but in essence, our productivity is higher than anywhere else in the world!

The reason why those foreigners traveled thousands of miles to China in exchange for porcelain and silk back home is because they don't know how to make them.

And Xiaodao can make huge profits, probably for the same reason!

Xiaodao I am in glass manufacturing, productivity crushes others...

Uncle, don’t be envious, the money you earn at sea is essentially using our Ming’s advanced productivity to plunder other people’s wealth, and you still evade taxes..."

Zhang Yi's three sentences were all about paying taxes, which left Lao Zhu speechless.

Because the world is waiting for prosperity, agriculture is the top priority.

Zhu Yuanzhang, an old farmer, witnessed the potential of commercial taxes from the auction house.

"This commercial tax is probably not a small amount!"

"That's natural, people's needs are upgraded step by step, and the bottom level of needs is to have enough food!
So we need to recuperate and focus on agriculture as our root. To put it bluntly, it is a matter of having enough to eat!

But how can farmers squeeze out much oil and water?The rich people in this world have never been the common people!
Merchants are not engaged in production, and their role in society is very small when the economy is underdeveloped, but once the world enters a prosperous age, there will be a surplus of food.

The so-called satiety and lust, the common people will naturally have other needs!
The so-called demand is nothing more than eating, drinking and having fun, better products!
At that time, the development of industry and commerce was essentially the result of a natural increase in productivity.

And in the process of circulation, merchants will get a lot of profits, and the imperial court can also get more taxes from this prosperous commodity circulation..."

Zhang Yi simply described the potential of industrial and commercial tax sources to Lao Zhu, and the emperor was full of expectations.

At the same time, he became more and more depressed about the problem of tax evasion by wealthy businessmen in Jiangnan.

Thinking of tax evasion, Zhu Yuanzhang asked:
"You said a while ago that you were going to find the scapegoat...Xia? Do you have any clues?"

"I've been chatting with him a lot lately, but I haven't had a chance to cut into the topic. I'm doing it, I'm doing it..."

"Boy, what you did was not just to pay taxes to monks and Taoists, right?"

Zhu Yuanzhang pointed out Zhang Yi's little thought, and Zhang Yi laughed.

If it's just a matter of monasticism, then he's a fart.

Since the Ming and Qing Dynasties, or in other words, with the rise of Confucianism and the religiousization of Confucianism, the influence of Buddhism and Taoism on the imperial court has long since declined.

There will never again be a situation where before Cheng Zhu, the theories of monks and Taoists once caused great pressure on Confucianism.

He wanted to give some hints to those in the palace about the reform of monkhood.

There's no need to talk about this matter, Zhang Yi didn't answer, but changed the subject:

"Speaking of which, brother Huangying, how long will you go to sea this year? Let's hurry up...

The seaside is not so peaceful this year..."

If Zhang Yi remembers correctly, the Japanese pirates on the coast of the south of the Yangtze River in the second year of Hongwu were particularly serious.

Although it is not compared to the late Ming Dynasty, these Japanese pirates along the Liaodong Road have no coastline that is not intruded.

Suzhou Prefecture, Taicang and other places were even beaten to the ground. Although the Ming army in the early Ming Dynasty was indeed strong, the Japanese pirates did not take much advantage.

But Lao Zhu obviously felt the pressure from the sea, so he had no choice but to implement the sea ban.

Zhang Yi didn't know if there was a causal relationship, but he thought it was very possible.

The seaside is chaotic, and coastal defense is naturally tense.

This is very unfavorable to their plan to go to sea, so Zhang Yi reminded Zhu Yuanzhang aloud.

Zhu Yuanzhang asked with a cold face when he heard the words.

"Mainly Shandong, Suzhou, Taicang, and Guangdong..."

Zhang Yi told what he knew in his previous life and the serious things this year, and Zhu Yuanzhang silently remembered them.

"Don't worry, now is not the time, you can't delay!"

"That's fine, Uncle, I'll go back to Room [-] first, after all, I'm still a Confucian scholar...

I'll go over there and wait for the money to be collected, and I'll send you money later! "

Zhang Yi chuckled and made a silent gesture.

Then he ran to Kong Na's room in a hurry...

After the boy disappeared, Zhu Yuanzhang remained silent. Every time he chatted with Zhang Yi, he had to digest some information carefully.

"Biao'er, if we can know the actions of those pirates in advance, can we..."

Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly took Zhu Biao's hand and led him out.

"Father, you are..."

"Go back to the palace, I have to take a good look at the map in the study!"

Although the auction is drawing to a close, it will take some time for many items to be settled.

As a guest, Zhu Yuanzhang should have waited for Lao Chen to come over to settle the settlement with him.

But in his desperation, he didn't care about the lot that Chen Ke was applauding, and left.

The emperor made people rush all the way back to the palace and rushed into the imperial study.

After driving everyone else out, only the father and son were present.

Zhu Yuanzhang took out the map of the world and the map of China that he had seen countless times.

"Father, are you...?"

Zhu Biao didn't understand what Zhu Yuanzhang meant...

Old Zhu ignored him, and he breathed a sigh of relief after seeing the map clearly.

"I have studied the nearby sea charts, where did the Japanese pirates come from, I have a general understanding...

And where they are going, your Zhang family brother has already told us!
Prince, tell me, should I surprise those people? "

Zhu Yuanzhang turned his head, excitement flashed in his eyes.

Only then did Zhu Biao suddenly realize what his father meant.

"You want to use Zhang's younger brother's information to give these pirates a big surprise?"

"That's right, am I going to do this?"

Regarding the Japanese pirates, Zhu Yuanzhang has always held his breath, including that his envoy was killed by the Japanese general, and Lao Zhu was actually furious.

He wanted soldiers very much, to kill these guys completely,

But Lao Zhu had to think about the fate of the Mongols.

In addition, the country really didn't have much spare power to go to sea, so the emperor could only bear with it.

But being unable to go to sea for the time being does not mean that Zhu Yuanzhang cannot teach those bastards a lesson...

The trouble with Japanese pirates is that they come and go without a trace, and no one can monitor their actions.

They come, burn, kill, loot, and leave without being traced.

The fighting power of the Ming army is stronger than that of the Japanese pirates, but because of this characteristic, the Ming army is still exhausted or passively defending.

"Zhang Yi gave us a reminder that they will call Suzhou Prefecture in August...

And the Japanese pirates on the sea will usually flood after the warming up. Although there have been some sporadic harassments in Shandong, the next few months will be the time when they will start to invade my coastal defense of Daming!
Now is the time and the place!
I also have this chart...

With intentional calculations and unintentional calculations, I may be able to take down these Japanese pirates..."

Zhu Biao browsed the map for a long time, and gradually showed joy.

Zhu Yuanzhang's idea really has a good chance of success.

The most amazing thing about this incident is that their information comes from future history books, which means that this incident will almost certainly happen.

This is tantamount to the gods showing them a way, if Daming can't grasp it, it's too useless.

The most wonderful thing is that even those Japanese pirates who wanted to harass Daming did not know that they would go this way.

Fate destined them to send themselves into the trap set by Zhu Yuanzhang.

"Even if it doesn't work out, it's not a loss!
Just enough for the Xuanwu Army and the local Guards Army to train their troops! "

Zhu Yuanzhang thought of the Xuanwu Army. From recruitment to training, this water army has never experienced a real combat.

Although most of them are also veterans, they are veterans with experience in water warfare recruited from Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Fujian.

But before taking it out for a walk, Zhu Yuanzhang didn't know the result of this matter.

"Call Zhang Cundao to Beijing!
Pass the secret performance to Shandong, so that people can get some people out...

Also, our Daming still needs to get on the boat more, so we need to transfer a little, this time it shouldn't need too much..."

In Zhu Yuanzhang's mind, he has already begun to think about how to fight future wars?
In the second year of Hongwu, although a new dynasty was established, everything was going well.

But for the people of Shandong, there may not be much joy, especially the people along the coast, who have been harassed by Japanese pirates since the first month.

Although it was freezing cold, the problem was relatively minor. ,
But according to Zhang Yi's information, April to June, that is, around Qingming, is the beginning of the disaster on the Shandong Peninsula.

In June, Jiaozhou.

In July, Jimo, Zhucheng, Laiyang and other counties.

August, Suzhou Prefecture
……

With Zhang Yi's [Information], Zhu Yuanzhang has enough time to teach these bastards a lesson.

This time, Lao Zhu didn't intend to wipe out those Japanese pirates on land, he planned to try to copy the enemy's retreat at sea.

If it was before, Zhu Yuanzhang would definitely not do this.

Firstly, at sea, he couldn't find any trace of Japanese pirates, and secondly, when Daming's navy went out to sea, his eyes were smeared!

Thirdly, the navy of the Ming Dynasty was indeed average, and some of them remained in Fujian for guarding.

After all the calculations, the navy that Lao Zhu can mobilize is actually not that many!

However, it is probably enough to fight stragglers like Japanese pirates.

The father and son lay on the map and looked at it for a long time, and Zhu Biao's blood was mobilized by Lao Zhu.

"If the situation happened according to what the younger brother of the Zhang family said, it's no wonder that the emperor banned the sea! From Liaodong to Guangdong, these Japanese pirates have come and gone without a trace, and the pressure on the coastal defense is too great!

But if we can achieve a great victory in the east this year, isn't Father, planning to ban the sea? "

This question made Lao Zhu fall into deep thought.

But he didn't think for a long time, then shook his head and said:

"Even if this battle is successful, it will not hinder the sea ban. The sea ban has two meanings. The first is to prevent Japanese pirates, and the second is to prevent the people from entering the sea, especially those rich households in the south of the Yangtze River...

If this trend can't be stopped, the production along the coast can't be carried out, and these people earn wealth that can rival the country, but they don't pay me a penny in taxes, is it justifiable?

The sea ban is going to be lifted, at least we have to wait for the Xuanwu army to rise up, my Ming can deter the world!

And let me think of ways to restrain those wealthy households in the south of the Yangtze River! "

While the father and son were chatting, they had already decided on a strategy to ambush the Japanese pirates.

One after another, the military orders were sent to the front line without passing through the Zhongshu Province and the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion.

Fujian, Jiangsu and Zhejiang, Shandong!
The war machine of this new empire was running silently.

But Zhang Yi didn't know about all this.

He was still chatting with Kong Na at this moment, waiting for Fatty Chen to send the money.

Not long after, the door of Box No. [-] in Tianzi opened, and Fatty Chen walked in from the outside with a happy smile.

"Young Master Kong, this time the Taoist leader has made a lot of money!"

The fat man went straight to Kong Na and cupped his fists in congratulations.
