Daming: Mixed in Dangzhi County, Beiping

Chapter 352: Your Majesty, Your Highness King Yan has a mountain of silver hidden in Japan!

"I would like to report to His Highness King Yan, although Xiaoren and others really want to protect the caravan of King Yan's Mansion and go to Dashi for trade.

However, it is impossible for such a small amount of people to do it! "

Sorge said helplessly.

"Ok?"

Zhu Di narrowed his eyes slightly, "Why is this? We can let you [-] Mongolians go out, and there are also [-] Yanshan Guards, and put on grenades and bombs!"

Sorge still shook his head helplessly, "His Royal Highness King Yan doesn't know that deep in the desert, there are not only the Mongols of the Yuan Dynasty, but also the Tatars and the Waci people!

The Tatars and the Wacians are also large tribes with strong soldiers and horses.

In addition, to the west of the Wazi people, there are also the Eastern Chagatai Khanate and the Timurid Empire!

The power of the Eastern Chagatai Khanate and the Timurid Empire was countless times more powerful than the Tatars and Wassans.

Even if the villain has [-] Mongolian elite cavalry, he has no chance of breaking out of the encirclement and suppression by the Timur Empire's army.

As for the big meal His Highness mentioned..."

As he spoke, a strange look flashed in Sorge's eyes.

“As early as more than 100 years ago, the Mongolian cavalry had already rushed into the far western countries and destroyed more than a dozen countries.

Kill millions!

As for the big food country that His Highness mentioned, it should have been destroyed by the Timur Empire long ago! "

"This……"

Hearing this, Zhu Di couldn't help but be a little startled. For such a long time since the Ming Dynasty was established, they have been focusing on attacking the remnants of the Northern Yuan Dynasty.

As for the Eastern Chagatai Khanate to the west of the Ming Dynasty, as well as the Tatars and Wazi people in the north, I know something about it, but there has been no major war.

As for the Timur Empire, there is no news at all.

I don’t even know what happened to Dashi!

Guo An also felt slightly hot-skinned, he actually forgot about this matter.

Zhu Di didn't pay attention, but continued: "In this case, you can either become the caravan drivers and guards of Prince Yan's palace, or go to the Japanese country!"

"Your Highness, I would like to go to Japan!"

"Your Highness, I am also willing to go to Japan!"

"Your Highness, I would like to serve as a caravan guard!"

Among the four people, three were willing to go to Japan, and only one was willing to be a caravan escort driver.

"Very good!"

Zhu Di slowed down a bit and said, "You will hand over the list of people who wish to go to Japan or the caravan guards later, and I will order someone to make arrangements for you!"

"Thank you, Your Highness!"

Sorge, Balve and others quickly thanked them.

a few days later.

The scribes from the Changshi Division made arrangements for the whereabouts of the thousands of Mongolians.

……

"His Majesty thought that most of the heroes who conquered the world died, and wanted to reward the survivors, so he ordered the world's military officials to join the court?"

In Cunxin Hall, after listening to Zhu Di's words, Guo An looked strange.

After killing all the heroes of martial arts in the world, now you want to summon the heroes to the court for rewards?
"Your Majesty, do you want to win over those military ministers who have become officials and pave the way for the emperor's grandson?"

"It should be so!"

Zhu Di nodded slightly.

Guo Andao said: "Your Highness, since this is your Majesty's edict, I, Prince Yan's Palace, will send two large ships to send the military ministers of Beiping Palace to the court!"

"We dare not disobey Father's edict!"

Zhu Di sighed and said: "We are just worried about Chi'er. This kid has been to the Goryeo Kingdom for several months and has not returned yet!"

Guo An didn't show the slightest worry, "Your Highness, I think this is a good thing."

"Why is this?" Zhu Di asked with a frown.

Guo An replied: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has been in the Goryeo Yan Kingdom for such a long time, which is enough to show that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is really handling the government affairs of the Goryeo Yan Kingdom.

And His Royal Highness, the Crown Prince, has studied with His Highness and Your Majesty for so many years. The Kingdom of Goryeo and Yan was the place where His Highness the Crown Prince showed his talents and transformed the theory into practice.

If the entire Goryeo-Yan Kingdom is brought under great rule, Your Highness should be happy, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince can stand in the way!
And if the political power of Goryeo Yan State is in chaos, His Highness can take action to bring order to the chaos, which can make His Highness the Crown Prince realize his own shortcomings.

This can be considered a great blessing! "

"What Guo Qing said is absolutely true!"

Zhu Di's face showed joy, "Sooner or later, the Yan Kingdom of Goryeo will be handed over to that boy. So, it is not a bad thing to let him exercise first!"

"Your Highness is wise!"

Guo An nodded slightly.

Suddenly, the sound of rapid footsteps came from outside the hall.

"Your Highness, Your Highness..."

Soon, a captain with a happy face rushed into the hall.

"Your Highness, His Royal Highness is back!"

"Chi'er is back?"

Hearing this, Zhu Di stood up with a swish, stared closely at the captain and asked: "Where is the prince now?"

"Back to Your Highness, His Highness the Crown Prince has just got off the ship and is heading towards Beiping City!"

"Is the prince injured?"

Zhu Di asked again.

The captain quickly replied: "Your Highness, everything is well with the prince!"

"That's good!"

Zhu Di breathed a sigh of relief, and then slowly sat down.

So, it was half an hour later.

A chubby figure walked in from outside the hall.

"My son has seen his father!"

"Chi'er has met the teacher!"

Zhu Di's face lit up when he saw the person coming.

"You kid is finally willing to come back!"

Zhu Gaochi has been studying with Guo An for many years. Although he has not learned any skills, his temperament and work have become much more decisive.

Therefore, Zhu Gaochi successfully became Zhu Di's eldest son.

"Father, please forgive me. I am sending so many officials to the Kingdom of Goryeo, so I need to arrange a place for them all!"

As for Guo An, his eyes widened with despair in his heart. "Your Highness, why are you like this?"

Zhu Gaochi looked stunned, "Teacher, what's wrong with the students?"

"Your Highness, when you went to the capital last year, you were still in good health. But now, your whole person..."

As Guo An spoke, he made circles with his hands, feeling very uncomfortable.

On the contrary, Zhu Gaochi comforted him with a slight smile on his face: "Teacher, don't worry, Grandpa Huang has said it, fat people are blessed!"

"However, if you are overweight, you will easily get sick!"

Guo An said hurriedly: "Your Highness, do you want to be covered in fat all over your body? You will be exhausted even after walking a few steps.

Or even so fat that you can’t eat well or sleep well? "

Zhu Gaochi said cheerfully: "Teacher, don't worry, I will control it carefully!"

However, I felt very helpless in my heart.

His teacher didn't care about anything else.

However, I have always been worried about his cowardice and obesity.

Even more caring than his mother-in-law!
Over the past few years, his ears have become calloused!

"His Royal Highness, it's good to know what's going on!"

Guo An nodded slightly but did not continue to exhort.

On the side, Zhu Di said: "As soon as your boy leaves home, it will be a year. Go and see your mother-in-law and the imperial concubine!"

"Yes, Father!"

"Teacher, the students leave!"

Zhu Gaochi bowed slightly to Zhu Di and Guo An, and then left quickly.

Looking at Zhu Gaochi's leaving figure, Zhu Di looked relieved.

"Guo Qing, the prince has become much more stable this time out!"

"Congratulations, Your Highness!"

……

"what?"

In the capital, in the Fengtian Hall, Zhu Yuanzhang looked at the figure below, his eyes wide open.

"Are you sure, is there really a silver mountain in Japan?"

"Reporting to your Majesty, this matter was discovered after several years of investigation by Wei Chen. It is absolutely true."

"Tell us about it in detail!"

"Yes, Your Majesty!
Guo Changshi of Prince Yan's Mansion is known as the Chief Financial Officer. His Royal Highness Prince Yan can earn millions of taels of silver from his annual business with the Kingdom of Korea.

However, His Highness King Yan only governed the Goryeo Kingdom for two years before he sent out the army guarding Goryeo to attack the Japanese Kingdom.

If the Japanese state did not attract more interests than Goryeo, His Highness King Yan would never make such a decision.

Even His Highness King Yan went there in person, and Guo Changshi did not stop him...

Wait until His Highness King Yan's Yanshan Guards capture the Japanese state.

Several silversmiths and dozens of craftsmen disappeared from the residence of His Highness King Yan.

At the same time, there were also some iron furnaces, fine steel, wooden rails... mining machinery, which were transported onto the big ship! "

"In addition, every six months, the Yan Palace will return dozens of large ships filled with boxes from the Japanese Kingdom..."

"Prince Yan's Mansion does not trade with the Japanese country, but it is still willing to pay a tribute of 100 million taels of silver to His Majesty every year for the Japanese country's affairs!
Moreover, among the millions of taels of silver paid as tribute every year, there are always 20 taels of silver, which seem to be newly minted..."

"So, I boldly asked someone to establish a relationship with a Yanshan guard under His Highness King Yan, and finally learned that His Highness King Yan had indeed found a silver mountain in the Japanese country..."

Zhu Yuanzhang narrowed his eyes slightly and said quietly: "Then can you find out how much silver the Yan Palace can dig out from the Japanese country every year?"

His Highness' face was filled with joy, and he quickly said as if offering a treasure: "Your Majesty, I have found out that Prince Yan's Mansion can dig out at least 150 million taels of silver from the Japanese Yin Mountain every year!"

"Ok!"

However, what surprised His Highness was that Zhu Yuanzhang only nodded slightly.

"His Majesty?"

Zhu Yuanzhang sneered and said angrily: "You are just a small fifth-rank official. Who gave you the courage to investigate a Ming vassal king?"

The man was startled, then his face turned pale, and he kept kowtowing to Zhu Yuanzhang with fear on his face, "Your Majesty, forgive me. I am loyal to Your Majesty, but I just noticed that His Highness King Yan's behavior was inappropriate, so I got curious... …”

"Humph!"

Zhu Yuanzhang snorted coldly, "Two Tigers!"

"His Majesty!"

A military commander walked directly behind the man.

Zhu Yuanzhang said in a cold voice: "Let this audacious thief die. As for his family, there is no need to pay attention to him!"

"Your Majesty, please forgive me, Your Majesty..."

The man suddenly became paralyzed and begged for mercy.

"According to the order!"

Erhu bowed his hands and without stopping at all, directly picked up the man with one hand and walked out.

He waited until there were no more wailing sounds outside the palace.

The emperor's grandson Zhu Yunwen on the side seemed to have woken up and asked cautiously.

"Grandpa Huang suspects that what this person said is false?"

Zhu Yuanzhang turned his head, glanced at Zhu Yunwen, and said slowly: "It should be true!"

Zhu Yunwen asked with a puzzled look on his face: "Then why does Grandpa Huang still..."

Zhu Yuanzhang sighed softly, "Yunwen, Japan has something good to attract King Yan. We already guessed it when King Yan presented the annual tribute of 100 million taels of silver.

However, the Ming Dynasty was so big that it could be managed by the court.

As for the Japanese country, thousands of miles away, it was not worth fighting for.

Since the King of Yan is willing to pay us a tribute of 500 million taels of silver, then just give it to him.

No matter what, Japan is a small country with few people and lack of supplies, so it must rely on Ming Dynasty.

No matter what good things the Japanese country has, they will eventually flow into our Ming Dynasty..."

“Moreover, by allowing King Yan to occupy the Japanese kingdom, he could only care about governing the Japanese kingdom and Goryeo, and could not think about anything else...

Do you understand? "

"Grandson understands!"

Zhu Yunwen quickly responded obediently.

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded in satisfaction.
