Invincible Zhengde

Chapter 184 I'm Cultivating You

Sure enough, Zhu Youtang immediately became interested when he heard what Zhu Houzhao said, and he stopped keeping a straight face. Instead, he approached his son and asked, "Then, have you ever calculated how many salt classes there will be in the entire Ming Dynasty?"

"About 1000 million taels per year!" Zhu Houzhao said as a matter of course.

"So many?" Zhu Youtang seemed to be frightened, and asked in disbelief.

Seeing the appearance of his father, Zhu Houzhao sighed softly in his heart. The emperor did not have a clear understanding of the national strength of Ming Dynasty. In fact, the national strength of Ming Dynasty has been increasing from the beginning to the end, but the wealth is not in the hands of the emperor. That's all.After the arrival of the Spaniards and the Portuguese, the smuggling trade will develop greatly, and the national power of Ming Dynasty will increase.

In today's world, if you spend money, Da Ming can smash other people's heads. Coupled with the huge population base, Da Ming is the bug of this era.

such a pity!
All are useless. If Chongzhen’s salt class is 1000 million per year, it is just throwing the salt class to Liaodong to burn 1000 million taels a year. Let’s see how long Nurhachi and Huang Taiji can last.It's not that Ming has no capable ministers, nor is it that it has no good generals, it's just that it was delayed by a group of moths in the country, and it is urgent to eliminate the moths.

"Let's talk!" After Zhu Youtang came back to his senses, he said again, "How much do you want this time?"

"At least 100 taels!" Zhu Houzhao thought for a while and said, "I want to reorganize the Black Dragon Army. This will be an army that the Ming Dynasty has never had before. It will be based on the Beijing Camp. Once the Black Dragon Army is formed, my son will The ministers will replace the Beijing camp with the Black Dragon Army. The Beijing Camp system is corrupt and overstaffed, and the ministers will use the Black Dragon Army as recruits."

After hearing Zhu Houzhao's words, Zhu Youtang looked at Zhu Houzhao with some embarrassment: "But what about those honorable and hereditary generals?"

The proportion of this group in Ming Dynasty is too large. Qi Jiguang is of hereditary origin, as are generals everywhere. They are the biggest resistance to military reform.

"Keep those who are obedient, and clean up those who are disobedient." Zhu Houzhao's eyes were cold. He was going to run forward with Daming, and it was naturally impossible to carry a heavy load on his body.Once you start running, if you can help Da Ming run, it will naturally be reused, and if it becomes a burden to Da Ming, it will naturally be eliminated directly.

Zhu Youtang looked at Zhu Houzhao and said with a wry smile: "These people usually look like nothing, and they don't do anything serious, but once they get involved, they are very difficult to deal with."

Zhu Youtang knows this point. These people are too deeply connected. It is okay to deal with one occasionally, but once they move a bunch, there will be problems. This scale is very difficult to grasp.

"That's why I want to set up the Daming Wuyuan." Zhu Houzhao didn't go around and said his idea directly.

"Wu Yuan?" Zhu Youtang couldn't keep up with his son's train of thought, but he was used to it. His son would often come up with something he didn't understand, and then he nodded and said, "Tell me!"

Zhu Houzhao nodded, and then said: "Actually, it is similar to the Imperial College. The first batch of recruits in the Martial Arts Academy were the sons of nobles and hereditary generals from all over the world. The professors were not like the Imperial College, but the methods of military training and military strategy. My son has never understood that there are private schools and Imperial Colleges all over the Ming Dynasty, but why is there no place where people can practice martial arts?"

"Once there is a martial arts academy, Daming can train many generals. These people may not become world-renowned generals, but they will definitely be able to lead troops in battle."

"Strict militarized management, these people are trained as soldiers, so that these people will not be abolished at home. These people will join the future Black Dragon Army. What the court spends is just some money. When recruiting people in the future, you can Enlargement of the number of meritorious soldiers, Enyin is not directly engraved in the official position, but Enyin entered the martial arts academy to study."

Zhu Youtang listened carefully to what his son was saying, and soon he knew that it seemed feasible!
"My son wants to invite my father to be the head of the martial arts academy." Zhu Houzhao thought for a while and then said: "At that time, the nobles will definitely support them very much."

Glancing at his son, Zhu Youtang laughed and cursed: "Zhuzi!"

Zhu Youtang naturally knew that his son was not sincere. First of all, he was the emperor. Being the head of the martial arts academy would attract criticism. After all, these people would have the title of disciple of the emperor.It is true that nobles will support, because this is an opportunity to get close to the emperor and a chance to hug the thigh.The nobles rely on the grace, how could they miss such an opportunity.

Those hereditary generals will also let their sons come, hoping that their son will become a dragon, so what is the future of waiting to take over from their father?Nest there for the rest of your life?

The emperor personally served as the head of the school, but he couldn't find an opportunity to fawn on him. How could such an opportunity be missed?
But Zhu Youtang also knew that once he did this, the civil servants would be blown away. His son made it clear that he wanted to be the head of the mountain by retreating.

Is it suitable for your son?

Of course it fits!
First of all, my son is the crown prince, the prince, and he is more attractive to some extent than the emperor himself. Why do so many people participate in seizing the heir? It's too big, from the merit of the dragon, that's really not to say, who doesn't want it?

Now that the crown prince is the head of the mountain, who wouldn't want to join the crown prince's team?The second is the son's record. In the Northwest War, the son has proved himself.

Five thousand against ten thousand, in a field battle, my son killed and arrested nearly 8000 people. His ability to train soldiers is shocking.

Finally, military power is involved in the military academy. This is a very, very sensitive place. It is not appropriate for any courtier to control it. The prince is different. He is the prince. As long as he, the emperor, is not suspicious, others will not be able to say anything.Do you suspect yourself?Not at all.Not to mention his own son, even Li Shimin, if Li Yuan was his only son, would he still know Xuanwumen?

Zhu Youtang was not at all worried about what his son would do. He reached out and patted Zhu Houzhao's shoulder. Zhu Youtang smiled and said, "It's the same as before, I don't care, as long as you can do it yourself."

Hearing what his father said, Zhu Houzhao knew that his father agreed, which made Zhu Houzhao heave a sigh of relief. It was not too difficult for Zhu Houzhao to complete this matter. Seeing that his father was leaving, Zhu Houzhao hurried up Holding back the father: "Father, don't forget about the money, I don't have so much money to do this."

"The 100 million taels are in the treasury, you have to figure out your own way." Zhu Youtang was unmoved at all, but just smiled and said: "I'm going to accompany your mother, you can approve the test book here, what's unresolved?" Ask me again." He patted Zhu Houzhao on the shoulder with an expression of "I'm cultivating you".
