Daming: Mixed in Dangzhi County, Beiping

However, in another place, a group of wealthy people wearing silk and satin clothes looked at everything in front of them, their faces full of sorrow.

"A sin!"

"So many young and strong soldiers have gone to Southeast Asia and the West. What should we do if they are left outside?"

"Yes, the autumn harvest has been completed this year, but what about next year?"

"If I can't come back next year, what should I do for spring plowing?"

"If there are some more natural disasters..."

Just when a group of gentry were feeling compassion for others, a group of royal guards came out of nowhere.

"Don't talk nonsense!"

"As fine rice has been planted by you, how much has your family produced in the past few years? How much more grain is harvested every year? Do you think we don't know?"

"As for next year's spring plowing, you are so worried, why not divide some of your fields!"

"That's the land that my ancestors worked hard to save!"

"That's your ancestors exploiting the land in the hands of the common people!"

"What evidence do you have?"

"Hmph! Do you really want me to search for you?"

"Since you have good rice and the yield increases so much every year, why are you still so greedy?"

“Besides, it has been passed down from above that if you want to do business, then do business honestly.

If you want to stick to your ancestral business and farm, just farm honestly and don't criticize the people harshly.

Otherwise, if new rice seeds come out, no one will be able to get them! "

"How can this be?"

"Why not?"

……

Looking at a group of high-spirited gentry, the gentry retreated obediently after being scolded by a group of royal guards.

Zhu Gaochi couldn't help but smile softly.

"Master Dao Yan still has a way to deal with these gentry and country sages!"

"Amitabha!"

Monk Daoyan smiled slightly and said: "Your Highness is ridiculous, it is Dinghaihou who has pinched the lifeblood of these gentry!"

"The teacher is just holding the seeds of these gentry. These gentry would rather harvest less than others, rather than..."

"Haha, Your Highness, don't forget Beiping Academy, don't forget Di Bao, banks, shipping companies..."

"Although these are inconspicuous, they are His Majesty's property, and they have the will of His Majesty and His Highness."

"If they are obedient, they can still live well and have rich descendants. If they are disobedient, the Jin Yiwei will be worried about having no achievements, and the Dibao will be worried about having no stories to write..."

Although Dao Yan and Shen smiled kindly when they talked about this, in the eyes of Zhu Gaochi and the people around him, they were extremely cold.

This Master Daoyan is not a kind-hearted master. He is more ruthless than the cruel officials in prison, and he is more ruthless than the ruthless officials in prison.

Now, among the merchants and gentry who have dealt with this mage, which one is not afraid of this mage?

"Your Highness, the barbarian conquering army of Cao Guogong and Dinghaihou has disappeared!"

"In addition, the fleet of the Maritime Trade Chamber of Commerce and the fleet of His Highness King Zhao have also passed Songjiang Mansion!"

A group of cavalry ran over from a distance and reported to Zhu Gaochi.

"It's already gone!"

Zhu Gaochi sighed slightly.

"Amitabha!"

Monk Daoyan shouted the Buddha's name and said: "Your Highness, it's time to return to the capital! There are still many chores in the Shibo Department that need to be handled by you!"

Zhu Gaochi did not move, but raised his head and looked at everything around him, his eyes full of longing.

"Master, I can't wait to see this scene where the country is peaceful and the people live and work in peace and contentment for a few more days!"

Monk Daoyan's eyelids moved slightly and he continued: "Your Highness, as soon as Marquis Dinghai leaves, you will also need to handle matters such as the Maritime Trade Chamber of Commerce and Jiangjunshan Workshop!"

Zhu Gaochi said again: "Master, I finally came out for two days, why don't I take another look at these folk things?"

Monk Dao Yan said: "Your Highness, the capital can also see it, or you can go to Jiangjun Mountain to see..."

"..."

Zhu Gaochi sighed slightly and looked at Monk Daoyan helplessly, "Master, I have been very tired in the past two years!"

Monk Dao Yan was still expressionless, "Your Highness, you have been out for three days. If you don't go back, the affairs accumulated by Jiangjunshan Workshop, Dibao, Bank, Maritime Trade Chamber of Commerce, Auction House, and several shipping companies will become more and more complicated." The more there are, the more likely it is to delay things!” ˆ ˆ ˆ “…”

"Your Highness, if you are tired, you can take a bath, steam, or massage... If the problem still cannot be solved, Weichen can chant sutras for you..."

"Mage, how come you are familiar with these?"

Zhu Gaochi couldn't help but be speechless.

"Amitabha!"

Monk Dao Yan said seriously, "These things invented by Marquis Dinghai are in line with the meridians of the human body and help the body relax. Monks are not immune to this!"

Zhu Gaochi couldn't help but asked with some wickedness: "Master, so you also like to be massaged?"

Monk Daoyan shuddered, "Amitabha! Monk is thick-skinned and thick-skinned. Most people are not strong enough, so they can only find those with strong strength..."

"I see!"

Zhu Gaochi glanced at Monk Daoyan with strange eyes and laughed.

Immediately, he strode forward.

"In that case, why not go back! As the crown prince of the Ming Dynasty, I should be so tired!"

"Your Highness, thank you for your hard work!"

Monk Daoyan said loudly.

Zhu Gaochi sighed slightly, how could he look like the prince of a country?

Even his uncle, Prince Yiwen, who died early, was not as busy as him when he was the prince, right?

Thinking about it, Zhu Gaochi couldn't help but turn around and asked Monk Dao Yan: "Master, when you were in Beiping Mansion, you were deeply trusted by my father.

Nowadays, my father's favor has not diminished at all. Do you know why my father can be so leisurely, and why am I, the prince, in such a hurry? "

"Amitabha!"

Monk Dao Yan glanced at Zhu Gaochi with wide eyes, and then sighed helplessly, "Your Highness, forgive me, I don't know!"

"Ugh……"

At the end of August in the second year of Hong Ding's reign.

Li Jinglong, Duke Cao of the Ming Dynasty, led Guo An, Marquis of Dinghai, and the entire Shenji Battalion, five thousand lower camp, plus ten thousand troops selected by the guards of the capital.

A total of 30,000 troops sailed southward on 300 large ships.

And in Yunnan.

Xiping Hou Mu Sheng also received the emperor's order and began to assemble an army of 50,000 people and prepare food, grass and baggage.

"Who would have thought that our Ming Dynasty would be able to build so many large ships in just one year!"

On the ship, Li Jinglong held a telescope and looked at the mighty fleet behind the ship, his face full of amazement.

On the side, Guo An said quietly: "Most of them were built by the Yanguo Shipyard!"

Hearing this, Li Jinglong couldn't help but look at Guo An.

"Could it be that at that moment, Marquis Dinghai had already thought of today?"

Guo An smiled lightly and said, "Gong Cao Guo has overthought it. The general is just doing it so that Yanshan Guards can often patrol the Yan and Japanese countries!"

"Too……"

Li Jinglong nodded subconsciously, "Even Uncle Chengyi couldn't predict that His Majesty could actually be promoted to Crown Prince and ascended the throne as His Majesty with the help of King Yan!

You can even open the sea! "

Guo An said with emotion, "Yes, who can predict the future!"

Li Jinglong nodded heavily.

Immediately, his face was full of high spirits again.

"My Ming Dynasty has such a fleet, why should we be afraid of pirates on the sea?"

Guo An nodded slightly, "Not just bandits, but any barbarian country is not afraid!"

Li Jinglong added: "So, Marquis Dinghai suggested that the Ming Dynasty's dignitaries and vassal kings build seaports overseas and conquer barbarian lands?"

"Ok!"

Guo An nodded slightly.

"I hope these people will not pose a threat to Ming Dynasty in the future!"

"Mr. Cao Guo is overly worried. Your Majesty is such a talented person. If these feudal kings and dignitaries go out, even if they are given two hundred years, they will not pose any threat to the Ming Dynasty!"

"As for two hundred years from now, I don't know how powerful the Ming Dynasty will be..."
