Ming Dynasty: Evolution from snake to national guardian beast

Chapter 176: Be kingly at home and domineering externally!

In the study room.

Zhu Di held the letter in his hand, feeling very excited. He kept smiling on his face, and his mouth was grinning like a belt, and he couldn't take it back.

Below stood Xia Yuanji, who had arrived in a hurry. The reason why he was here was because Zhu Di sent someone to drag him over. At this time, his clothes were messy and his official hat was half tilted.

This wasn't what shocked him the most. When he came in, he saw Zhu Di inside holding a letter with something unknown. With a crazy face and weird laughter, as if his head was being lowered, Xia Yuanji felt an evil wind rushing up his back, which made his heart feel cold.

"emperor?"

Xia Yuanji spoke cautiously.

Zhu Di heard a voice coming from below, so he raised his head and saw that Xia Yuanji had arrived.

He even stood up happily and took a few steps towards Xia Yuanji, saying happily: "Ai Qing, you are finally here."

Xia Yuanji was immediately confused when he heard this, and his heart was trembling. Then he lowered his head and raised his hands and asked:

"What is the purpose of your Majesty summoning your ministers?" What is it?

Zhu Di couldn't help but snorted in his heart when he saw the cautious look of the person in front of him. When I asked him to spend the money, I felt like I wanted him to die.

Zhu Di rolled his eyes and put his hands behind his waist. He thought about it and asked casually: "Ai Qing, how much money do we still have?"

Xia Yuanji's heart tightened and his face turned ugly when he asked this question. He felt uncomfortable all over when he mentioned money. Taking a deep breath, Xia Yuanji said with a stiff face:

"How much money do we still have? Your Majesty, we don't have much left. Why do you suddenly ask this?" Do you want to spend money again?

Xia Yuanji's heart ached violently at the thought of spending money.

Seeing Xia Yuanji's ugly expression, Zhu Di immediately felt extremely happy.

Thinking of Bai Chu getting the silver mine, Zhu Di suppressed his restless heart, covered his lips and coughed softly, and said casually: "There is good news from Mr. today."

good news?

What good news?

Xia Yuanji looked at Zhu Di with a questioning look on his face, his eyes filled with questions. "They said they got a silver mountain or something, but I don't know." "What? Silver mountain!"

Xia Yuanji couldn't wait to interrupt Zhu Di's words and screamed loudly.

Compared to Xia Yuanji's excitement, Zhu Di was very calm at this moment and nodded lightly, and added casually: "The letter said it is quite big, and it will be settled in the hundreds of millions!"

"Hundreds of millions!"

Xia Yuanji's eyes suddenly widened with a look of disbelief, and then he said even more excitedly: "Great, we are rich, Your Majesty, and the treasury is rich."

Having said this, he said anxiously as if he remembered something:

"Then the emperor wants to move the capital. We can move the capital when the money comes back. I will never hinder the emperor." "We also need to build a canal..."

"And as we said before, it costs money."

Xia Yuanji was so happy that he didn't know why, thinking to himself about where to use Bai Chu's money.

Zhu Di stood on one side and looked at Xia Yuanji's crazy look. He couldn't help but rolled his eyes in his heart. With just a little money, he looked like this. He really looked like someone he had never seen in the world. Zhu Di was afraid that he had forgotten that when he knew the news, he was the same as Xia Yuanji now.

But thinking about the fact that there are silver mines in the Japanese pirate country, it must be more than just this one. If Mr. Bai finds a few more, then the Ming Dynasty will not...? Thinking about what Bai Chu said in his heart, even if the silver mine is dug four times a year One million taels of silver can be mined for two hundred years

This terrifying silver production capacity will bring about earth-shaking changes to the Ming Dynasty. At least the Ming Dynasty will no longer be so short of silver. You must know that the Ming Dynasty needs money everywhere now. The people who conquered Mobei spent a lot of silver, as well as the gold and silver needed for the subsequent war. Building highways requires money.

Relieving victims also requires money. Even his and Queen Xu's tombs need money. This expenditure requires a huge amount of money.

Thinking that Bai Chu's purpose of going to the Japanese pirate country this time was to get money, and the Japanese pirate kingdom would definitely be owned by the Ming Dynasty, then their things should belong to the Ming Dynasty, not to mention the mineral resources!

This side of Shijian City.

When Bai Chu entered the city, he found that the Japanese here were really poor.

There are low thatched houses everywhere in the city, which look dilapidated and narrow. Not only the houses, but also the streets are made of rammed loess. When carriages pass by, dust will rise immediately. If it rains, I'm afraid it will get muddy immediately.

Bai Chu thought that when he came, he seemed to have brought many craftsmen with him.

Since Iwami Castle will become the base camp for the Ming Dynasty to conquer Japanese islands in the future, why not build Iwami Castle properly?

It must be built at least to the level of a royal palace. You must know that with the development of Iwami Silver Mountain in the future, Iwami will inevitably become a gathering place for people.

In addition, Iwami Castle is surrounded by rivers and seas, making it a rare commodity transfer station.

At that time, merchants from the Ming Dynasty can completely rely on the convenience of Iwami Castle to sell the products of the Ming Dynasty to all parts of the island, thereby harvesting the leeks on the island. Bai Chu made up his mind to wait until the diplomatic matter was over, and immediately start building the infrastructure of Iwami City.

As for the manpower to build Iwami Castle, there is a shortage of everything on this Japanese island, except for slaves.

Just order the recruitment of Japanese people directly. On Japanese islands, there is no need to be benevolent. Those who follow me will prosper, and those who go against me will perish.

You must be kingly at home and domineering externally.

Can an island country become a global empire?

The road to the empire is never smooth. The road is laid with bones and stained with flesh and blood, and the throne of the empire is built. Now, Bai Chu wants to lead the Ming Dynasty and see the Ming Empire move forward.

After all, the Japanese island is just an insignificant stone foundation, and there will be more nations and countries that will lie at the feet of the Ming Empire. Bai Chu was thinking a lot and soon arrived at the city lord's palace in Shijian Kingdom.

City Lord's Mansion.

It is said to be the City Lord's Mansion, but it still looks shabby. However, the densely planted bamboo forest in the mansion adds some exotic charm to this simple City Lord's Mansion.

The purpose of Ziguang's trip is to capture the entire Japanese pirate country. It is not an exaggeration to say that he is here to massacre, but he cannot do so now.

The Japanese pirate kingdom will definitely belong to the Ming Dynasty in the future, but there are still many unfinished plans in Japan. Of course, these plans also require a lot of manpower. When Bai Chu came, he only brought 50,000 navy troops. If he was asked to do other hard work, Bai Chu would definitely not be willing.

Bai Chu wanted to make full use of the resources first and use these local residents to become the coolies of the Ming Dynasty. He had to make the plan first!

Bai Chu and Zheng He were sitting together, discussing how to talk to the Japanese envoy.

"Sir, what do you think about this messenger?"

"And their purpose of coming here is definitely not pure. We killed their famous names and took over their silver mines. I guess their purpose of coming here is not simple."

Zheng He was so thoughtful that he cut it open and told Bai Chu to listen.

Bai Chu nodded and said:

""I understand. In short, when we come this time, none of them can escape. Since their envoy wants to come to talk, we don't have to avoid it. We can just meet directly when the time comes. ""I also want to see what their intentions are!"
