Daming: Mixed in Dangzhi County, Beiping

"..."

Zhu Gaochi was stunned for a long time, and then he cupped his hands towards Guo An with a complicated look on his face.

“After the locust plague, the Tatars will suffer heavy losses, and the Watsa people will not let go of such a great opportunity.

In this way, if the Tatars want to migrate to the Hetao Plain, they will probably lose a lot of people. By then, if there are only 200,000 Tatars left, it will be considered good!

The teacher really has a great plan..."

"His Highness looks down upon me, so I can only bully those mindless Tatars!"

Guo An smiled lightly, without any hint of pride.

The poor Tatars were all annihilated by you and had to surrender to the Ming Dynasty. Now even three generations of their descendants will be plotted to death by you...

At this moment, Zhu Gaochi couldn't help but feel pity for those Tatars.

Guo An seemed to see what Zhu Gaochi was thinking, and said loudly: "Your Highness, if that monk Daoyan were to plot against those Tatars, he would be much more vicious than me!"

Monk Daoyan's kind-hearted face instantly appeared in Zhu Gaochi's mind. Zhu Gaochi shook his head subconsciously, how could Master Daoyan be so vicious?

Guo An asked again: "Your Highness, Monk Dao Yan has also been to the bank for a few days. I wonder how Monk Yan is doing?"

what?

Zhu Gaochi couldn't help but smile bitterly. His teacher was becoming more and more casual in his speech.

"Master Daoyan is following the method mentioned by the teacher before, sending several officials to take charge of the affairs, and cooperating with the Jiangjunshan Workshop, the Maritime Trade Chamber of Commerce, the Di Newspaper, the Auction House, etc. to make passbooks and invite the merchants to deposit money. !”

"Monk Daoyan is still so safe!"

Guo An nodded slowly and said nothing more.

Anyway, when it comes to playing with people's hearts and scheming with those businessmen, there are really not many people in the world who can match Monk Daoyan.

The Tatar people's troubles were gone, and the bank gradually improved. Zhu Gaochi suddenly felt a lot more relaxed.

"Teacher, I wonder if the newspaper can write down the story of the Tatars begging for surrender?"

"The plague of locusts was raging, and the Watsa people were sneak attacking. The Tatars had to beg for surrender and surrender to our Ming Dynasty! Your Majesty was wise and brave, accepted the Tatars' begging for surrender, and signed a surrender treaty..."

"Even if Di Bao doesn't write about this matter, it can't be hidden. It's better for Di Bao to tell the world about it openly!"

Zhu Gaochi pondered for a moment, then nodded slightly.

"What the teacher said is very true!"

Guo An then suggested: "Your Highness, the military academy and medical school have been opened. Your highness can also write about the military academy and medical school in the newspaper."

"That's how it should be!"

"Your Highness, the bank cooperates with the Maritime Trade Chamber of Commerce, Jiangjunshan Workshop, and the Auction House, and will start lending and borrowing. It can also inform people all over the world through the Di Report!"

Zhu Gaochi's eyes lit up and he slightly cupped his hands.

"Thank you teacher for reminding me!"

"If banks, newspapers, and maritime trade chambers develop in the future, they can affect the development of the Ming Dynasty. Please give your highness a lot of trouble!"

"Teacher, don't worry, I understand!"

……

"Teacher is building forces from scratch and letting me control these forces? To ensure that my position as the crown prince is stable?"

"It's just that Qianzhuang is in charge of all the money of the Ming Dynasty, and Dibao is in charge of the opinions of the entire world. How important is the Maritime Trade Chamber of Commerce?"

"The teacher has always said that Master Daoyan is cruel and scheming, but how could Master Daoyan be such a person?"

After leaving Dinghaihou Mansion, Zhu Gaochi sat on the carriage and couldn't help but frown, lost in thought.

He is in charge of the cabinet, the newspaper, and the bank...

In the court, there are also a group of military generals and civilian officials who support him. As long as he doesn't act recklessly, his position as the prince can be said to be impregnable!

It's just that it would be nice if the little kid at home wasn't so naughty!

Thinking of his grandson who was a hundred times more favored than himself, Zhu Gaochi couldn't help but sigh helplessly, rubbed his brows vigorously, leaned against the car wall, closed his eyes and rested!

……

A few days later, with the issuance of the Di newspaper.

The whole world was in uproar again.

Everyone was talking about it.

How could a plague of locusts be enough to defeat an army of 100,000 tigers and wolves, forcing the Tatars to beg for surrender?

Some people scolded him for being unkind, while others clapped his hands and applauded. In addition to being excited, there will be a full martial arts performance on the street...

The inspection censors from all over the country had dark faces, and they entered the capital one by one with impeachment memorials.

As for the cooperation between the bank that His Highness is responsible for, the Maritime Trade Chamber of Commerce, the auction house, and Jiangjunshan Workshop, it did not arouse much discussion.

As for the military academy and the medical school, they were even less eye-catching.

However, it is enough for some caring people to understand clearly!

For these matters, the capital did not pay much attention to gentry officials.

Because, His Majesty is going to impose a sea ban!

As soon as this news came out, there was a commotion in the capital.

Everyone is looking eagerly in the direction of the palace, the sea ban is finally about to be opened!

However, there are always some people who like to stick to their existing interests and are unwilling to impose a sea ban! "If he imposes a sea ban, he will be violating the law of his ancestors!"

"But when Emperor Taigaozu was still alive, that person had already mentioned this matter to Emperor Taigaozu!"

“If he lifts the sea ban, I don’t know how many stupid people will go to the sea to catch him, and I don’t know how many stupid people will get on the boat and sail to the Western Ocean, and they won’t come back for a year and a half!

By then, who will give birth to cubs? Who will farm? "

"This……"

"This is shaking the foundation of our family!"

"Yes, even if you risk your life and fortune, you can't let him mess around like this!"

"What a pity. How come the eunuch is so lucky that he can return with the fleet intact!"

"God will not bless us..."

……

Inside Fengtian Hall.

Zhu Gaochi led four more eunuchs, carrying two baskets of memorials, and walked in slowly.

He bowed slightly to Zhu Di who was sitting on the dragon chair, and then said cautiously: "Dad, the child is here to deliver the memorial again!"

Zhu Di raised his head, glanced at the two baskets of memorials, and frowned slightly.

"There have been more and more memorials in the past two days!"

"Yes!"

Zhu Gaochi responded, asked the officials to put down their baskets, and then exited, then he said a little puzzled.

"Dad, the matter of opening the sea has already been decided when Ma He led the fleet to the Western Ocean.

Now that Ma He has returned and my father has directly issued an order to rebuild the Shipping Department and open the sea, why do we still allow the courtiers to discuss it?

As a result, there was an uproar inside and outside the DPRK, and many people became restless! "

"It's good to be restless!"

Zhu Di snorted coldly and said in a deep voice: "You must not interfere too much in this matter. We would like to see who else is hiding under the Ming Dynasty!"

"Dad mean?"

Zhu Gaochi's eyes narrowed, with a look of surprise on his face.

Zhu Di sneered, "As a prince, don't you think that the case of Zhang Zhen ended with a bit of a bang?"

"This……"

Zhu Gaochi was shocked.

"Dad, could it be that Jin Yiwei..."

"Not really!"

Zhu Di slowly shook his head, "In this matter, there is no need to work hard with those thieves, give them some opportunities, they will always jump out eagerly!"

"Yes, Dad!"

Zhu Gaochi quickly bowed his hands and bowed, and stopped talking about this.

Instead, he began to take out the memorials in the basket one by one.

"Dad, these more than twenty memorials were submitted by some censors and civil servants, requesting that the ban on seas be continued!"

"Dad, these thirty-odd memorials are from the various capitals of the Ming Dynasty. Many scholars and common people fought in the streets because of the locust plague and the Tatar incident..."

"Dad, these memorials are..."

In the capital of the Ming Dynasty, the dispute between the forbidden sea and the open sea is getting more and more intense!

……

at the same time.

Several secret messages were sent to the capital via postmen from various state capitals in Yunnan and Guangxi.

Just, on the road.

Some secret messages will always be damaged or lost due to various accidents.

There is only one letter that can come to the capital smoothly!

"How could it be such a coincidence that so many letters were destroyed and lost? Moreover, the letters were all sent by the same group of people?"

Capital Master, after hearing the report, Zhu Gaochi's face was gloomy.

"Where's that letter? Bring it to me. I want to see what kind of letter actually made them dare to attack the postman of the newspaper!"
