Daming: Mixed in Dangzhi County, Beiping

Chapter 363: Dasun, those thieves will keep an eye on your internal money.
As for Zhu Yunwen on the side, he looked confused.

"Grandpa Huang, Uncle Yan immediately paid a tribute of 250 million taels of silver to Grandpa Huang. Why can't such a huge good thing be told to the outside world?"

Zhu Yuanzhang was stunned, glanced at Zhu Yunwen in surprise, and said slowly: "My grandson, it is a great thing that King Yan sent us 250 million taels of silver.

However, the ministers in the court are also a bunch of jackals and tigers. The amount of money in the household department is not enough for them to be greedy. They are thinking about other money all day long.

If we let them know that there is an extra 250 million taels of silver in our palace, all those thieves will definitely stare at the money in our palace with red eyes all day long. "

"When we are alive, we can still suppress them. But when we die, those thieving officials will definitely empty out your money before they give up!"

Hearing this, Zhu Yunzhen's eyes narrowed and he quickly responded, "Thank you, Grandpa Huang, for your teaching. My grandson understands!"

"good!"

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded with satisfaction.

Unable to bear it, he urged again: "My grandson, you must understand that as an emperor, you cannot govern the world solely by those scholars and corrupt scholars.

During those wars, those soldiers are still needed. Only they will risk their lives to conquer the rebellion and expel the Tartars! "

Zhu Yunwen nodded seriously and said, "My grandson, please remember the teachings of Grandpa Huang!"

……

at this time.

Beiping Prefecture.

Zhu Di looked distressed.

"Guo Qing, now our family has lost even one tael of silver!"

Guo An didn't feel any distress at all.

"Your Highness, as long as the 200 million taels of silver can be used, it will not be a loss!"

Zhu Di couldn't help but asked curiously: "Guo Qing, what is the use of that silver?"

Guo An said helplessly: "Your Highness, I can't even explain!"

Zhu Di asked: "Is it possible that for the sake of the money, my father will give us the edict to retreat to the Goryeo Kingdom of Yan and the Kingdom of Japan?"

Guo An slowly shook his head, "Your Highness, this shouldn't be the case!"

"Isn't that the case?"

Zhu Di asked with some confusion, "What is that?"

Guo An looked helpless and said: "I don't dare to talk nonsense, so please don't ask, Your Highness!"

"Okay, okay, anyway, it's only 250 million taels of silver. The five-year tribute silver from the Japanese country has ended this year, so let's just treat it as filial piety to our father!"

Zhu Di waved his hand casually and stopped asking.

"Your Highness is wise!"

Guo An felt relieved.

Afterwards, Zhu Di couldn't help but chase people away, "Zhu Qing is bringing a group of scribes to Prince Yan's house to distribute New Year's gifts. Guo Qing, as the right chief historian, should go too!"

Guo Andao: "Your Highness, let us give such a good opportunity to the Crown Prince!"

"Sir?"

Zhu Di's eyes flashed and he nodded slightly subconsciously.

"That's fine, then please invite Guo Qing and the Crown Prince to go together!"

"Yes, Your Highness!"

Guo An responded and went to look for Zhu Gaochi.

He understood that Zhu Di was still worried about the 250 million taels of silver.

Otherwise, in the middle of winter, he would have to be the one to distribute the New Year's benefits.

But if you don’t pay money, how can you get anything in return?

Just like the annual benefits of Prince Yan’s Mansion!
There are carts and carts of meat, fruits and vegetables, as well as some treasures, sugar, cloth...

Escorted by some Yanshan guards and caravans, they were sent to the Yanshan guards' homes.

Afterwards, after sending out the Yanshan Guards, it was time for these officials to take a break to celebrate the New Year.

Each of them brought home some New Year's benefits.

Both the Yanshan Guards and the officials were very grateful to King Zhu Di of Yan, and they were even more loyal!
Even those gentry families do not lack the items of Prince Yan's Mansion.

However, the children of their family who were scribes in Prince Yan's Mansion were still superior to others when they brought back these things, making other children extremely envious.

And those ordinary people are even more envious.

……

After this New Year's Day, there was no fighting between the Tatars and the border in the north.

Jin Zhong, Chang Guoting, Chen Shou, Zhang Xing and other officials and generals who had been stationed in the Yan Kingdom of Goryeo also returned to Peiping one after another during the New Year.

Jin Zhong, Chang Guoting, Chen Shou, Zhang Xing and others were furious when they heard that someone in the court was attacking the Japanese country Yinshan.

Especially Zhu Neng, Qiu Song, Chen Xi, and Li Jun, who had been leading troops to conquer Japan, were filled with anger.

They even had loud mouths and some treacherous words came out of their mouths.

Guo An said with a bored look on his face: "Okay, okay, you will attack the Japanese country and tidy up all the Japanese, so that if the court cannot accommodate our Prince Yan's palace in the future.

His Highness Prince Yan can directly move the entire Prince Yan's palace to Goryeo and Japan! "

So far, there has been no movement in the court.

"Don't worry, Guo Changshi. Among the hundreds of states and counties in Goryeo, each state and county has two officials from our Ming Dynasty. In less than a year, Goryeo will be completely controlled by our country, Yan!"

Jin Zhong said with confidence.

Chang Guoting, Shang Kezhou and others also nodded quickly.

Although they were all ministers in the Yan Kingdom of Goryeo, when they returned to Beiping Mansion, they were automatically demoted to the position of Chief Secretary of History of the Prince of Yan.

"Very good!"

Above, Zhu Di nodded with great satisfaction.

"You are trying to govern the Goryeo and Yan Kingdoms as vigorously as possible. Now the time from Peking to Goryeo, or from Japan to Goryeo, can be shortened by half with the improvement of large ships.

If any Goryeo nobles dare to have any objections, they can just conquer them directly! "

"Your Highness is wise! I will do my best to govern the Kingdom of Goryeo and Yan!"

Jin Zhong, Shang Kezhou and others responded quickly with solemn expressions.

"good!"

Zhu Di nodded slowly.

On the side, Zhang Xing couldn't help but said: "Your Highness, the general and others have captured the large island of Yinshan in Japan, including the capital. All the disobedient thieves have been killed.

If Your Highness wants to go to Japan, you can! "

"Your Highness, I have also discovered that the writing of the Japanese people is very similar to the writing of the Ming Dynasty. It is several times easier for the Japanese to learn the writing of the Ming Dynasty than that of the Koreans!
"Oh?"

This was the first time Zhu Di heard about this matter, and he couldn't help but be very interested.

"Sure?"

"Your Highness, this is absolutely true!"

Below, Zhu Neng, Chen Xi, Li Jun and others nodded their heads.

Then, he remembered something and said again: "Your Highness, those Japanese are very mean.

Some Japanese were like wild beasts and extremely violent, so we all killed them.

The other half is very obedient. As long as you can beat him, those Japanese will turn into humble slaves and do whatever they ask him to do respectfully.

The Japanese state is more suitable for the relocation of Prince Yan's palace than Goryeo! "

"Your Highness, the Japanese country is barren and barren, how can it be compared to the Goryeo Yan Kingdom? The Goryeo Yan Kingdom is the most suitable place for the relocation of Prince Yan's palace!"

"The Japanese country has silver mountains, and the Japanese people are more obedient than the Koreans..."

"I am the country of Goryeoyan..."

Inexplicably, Shang Kezhou, Chen Shou and other officials from Goryeo and Yan, and Zhu Neng, Zhang Xing and other generals from Japan began to quarrel.

Above, Zhu Di was actually watching with interest.

Zhu Gaochi, on the other hand, was confused throughout. He had never encountered such a scene.

However, Guo An didn't like this messy and noisy scene the most, so he shouted loudly: "Shut up, everyone!"

"Guo Changshi?"

Guo An's words still carry some weight in the hearts of these officials and generals.

After hearing Guo An's words, everyone slowly stopped.

Guo Andao: "You are so eagerly looking forward to it, but the court cannot accommodate Prince Yan's Mansion, so do you want Prince Yan's Mansion to be moved to Korea and Japan?"

"This……"

Everyone was stunned for a moment, then their expressions changed drastically, and they quickly bowed to Zhu Di to apologize.

"Please forgive me, Your Highness, I have absolutely no intention of doing so!"

"Your Highness clearly knows that the general has no such intention!"

"Your Highness, forgive me..."

"Okay, okay! You are our most trusted officials and military generals, so I trust you."

Zhu Di smiled slowly, "You can just govern the Goryeo, Yan and Japanese countries with all your heart. You don't need to worry too much about these things!"

"The last general (minor minister) obeys the order!"

"..."

During this period, Zhu Di's generals and officials gathered most fully.

It was also the time when the ambition of Yan King Zhu Di skyrocketed.

However, it only lasted a month.

Officials such as Jin Zhong and Shang Kezhou, as well as generals such as Zhu Neng and Chen Xi, also took ships one after another to leave Peiping and go to Korea and Japan.

But within a month, the situation of the Goryeo Yan and Japanese countries suddenly spread among the scholars in Beiping Prefecture.

"In the Goryeo Yan Kingdom, official salaries are extremely high? Your Highness, King Yan, has already established a number of officials in the court in the Goryeo Yan Kingdom?"

"This is natural! Shang Kezhou has already become the Minister of Household Affairs of Yan State in Goryeo!"

"Chang Guoting is the Minister of the Ministry of Industry, and the few scholars who went to Goryeo with Shang Kezhou and others..."

"They're so lucky!"

"Yes, I heard that in the Goryeo Yan Kingdom, our Ming Dynasty has a shortage of officials, and many high-ranking officials are still Koreans!"

"Is that so?"

"This is what Brother Shang said himself!"

"If I fail, I will go to Goryeo and become an official!"

"Brother Li, don't be anxious. There are already many officials from the Ming Dynasty in the Yan Kingdom of Goryeo. You can go to the Japanese Kingdom! I have heard that there is a silver mountain in the Japanese Kingdom!"

Starting from this year, all the silver refined from the Silver Mountain will belong to His Highness King Yan!
And that silver mountain produces at least 200 million taels of silver every year! "

"Hiss...how much money does Prince Yan have in his palace?"

"You want to know how much salary and benefits His Highness the King of Yan can give you every year if you go to Japan as an official, right?"

"Haha, brother Zhang, don't you want to know?"

"A gentleman loves money and gets it wisely! Naturally, we also want to know..."

"Haven't you heard that women from the Japanese country are more docile?"

"It's vulgar. We are here to govern the Japanese country for His Highness King Yan and educate the barbarians in the Japanese country. How can we have anything to do with that vulgar woman?"

"What Brother Li said is absolutely true..."

"When the imperial examination is over this year, if my brother unfortunately fails, I will go to the Japanese country and serve His Highness King Yan!"

"Unless I am a first-class scholar, even if I am a second-class scholar, we will still serve His Highness King Yan!"

"Hmph, His Highness King Yan has been so kind to us. Now the scholars in the south are oppressing my northern students more and more. If I don't get admitted as a Jinshi, I will go and work for His Highness King Yan!"

"Brother Wang is still very brave..."

Suddenly, the hearts of the entire Northern Scholars were in a state of excitement.

……

but.

Regarding these matters in Beiping Mansion, no one cared except for some officials in the capital who paid special attention to Prince Yan's Mansion.

As for the emperor's grandson Zhu Yunwen, he naturally had people keeping an eye on him at all times.

Therefore, after hearing these things, his face was filled with shock and anger, "Mr. Huang, Uncle Yan Wang has actually established six ministries in the Yan Kingdom of Goryeo? There are also yamen such as the Duchayuan and Dali Temple!

Why didn't he report such a big matter to the court? "
