Chapter Twelve (Part 2) A Glass of Wine
OK, what a harassment plan for tooth, what a group of chivalrous and timid men. I have such a loyal and righteous man in the Ming Dynasty, why worry about the country's fortune not going to prosper?" When he heard the King of Yan talk about this, Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help but slap the table and exclaimed. He stood up and told Cao Zhen, "General Cao, after going down, report the names of the heroes who sacrificed their lives for the country to the Ministry of Personnel. I want to reward them a lot." He glanced at everyone, pointed to the map and analyzed: "The Mongols used harassing tactics to hold Xu Da, and you can also use this plan to deal with them, please feel free! Naha came out to eat
After these losses, I must have been furious. Seeing the bodies of Mongolian soldiers in Shimen Valley, I guess I wish I could trample you all to death with horses. You deliberately used stone tablets to stimulate him, showing weakness with sand castles, and real, and were deeply aware of the way to use military forces. The sound of cannons last time Wang'er released the water, and the general of the military used fake ambush to lure the enemy, blocking the old fox. The cannons were bombarded together, which was even more awesome. General of the military, all the civil and military talents, and famous generals of ancient times, but this is the case. General of the military, you should also report the names of your parents and wives to the Ministry of Personnel!"
Everyone knew that Wu Anguo would definitely be granted a wife and son this time, so they looked at him together. However, they saw him standing there as if he was stupid, and he didn't know how to kneel down and thank him.
At this time, Wu Anguo felt infinitely moved. Since he graduated and was assigned to Beijing, he had never even divided a house. Beijing could not afford a house with a sky-high price. His parents came to Beijing to see him several times, but they always left in a hurry and never had the opportunity to fulfill their filial piety in front of their parents. His girlfriend even left far away, and I don’t know how many grievances he would suffer in a foreign country. He didn’t want to think about these things, and he was powerless, so he just regretted in the middle of the night. Now in the Ming Dynasty, he is alone, let alone a wife and a wife, even if he gives him a picture-like country, what can he do? Thinking of this, he feels infinitely desolate and replied: "Thank you, the priest, I have no relative in this world."
"Ah, Zhu Yuanzhang was slightly stunned. Seeing Wu Anguo's lonely expression, he knew that he was not deliberately hiding it. He comforted him, "You have made such a great contribution and saved Wang'er. I originally wanted you to shine the door, but you knew that your life was so miserable..." Just as he was about to say how to reward him, Wu Anguo sighed and replied first: "I have to take the village to fight the enemy bravely. I happened to make some contributions and luck. With my talent, it is really hard to take great responsibility, so long do not worry."
"The general does not have to be humble. Don't talk about the merits of this battle formation. You have been doing this for Huairou in the past few years. Nothing should be rewarded is just that I am too busy and have never noticed it. If you don't give you wealth, I am afraid that everyone in the world will think that I am unaware of the ability of the Ming Dynasty and bury talents." Zhu Yuanzhang saw that Wu'anguo was not greedy for me, and he felt a little more happy with him. He encouraged him: "Go to be a general and a prime minister, and he is a great desire for people. If you talk about talent, the civil and military officials in the court will be as good as you. In a few years, with your talent, how can you tell the truth!" He was born in a rash manner and said most of the truth. Occasionally, he would be a bit unkind. This is similar to Wu'anguo, so the two of them felt that they were both disappointed and cherish each other. "I made an exception today. What do you have to ask for? Even if you say that, I will reward you together."
"What do you want? What do I have to ask for?" Wu Anguo thanked Zhu Yuanzhang for treating each other with sincerity, but he didn't know what he really needed. Since he came here, he has not taken one step at a time. He doesn't know what he wants to do in the future and where he goes. He pondered for a long time and said, "Long live, I only hope that Long live, let my China never be humiliated by foreign tribes, and let the Chinese people be upright no matter where they go, and will not be looked down upon by others, stand in the world, and no longer bow to others. If this is possible, my wish will be enough."
"Let me Chinese people stand in the world and no longer bow to others." Zhu Yuanzhang was stunned again, "Are you always bullied overseas? Do they disrespect you from the heavenly kingdom?"
"Long live, the poor people in the north will be discriminated against when they arrive in Jiangnan, let alone foreign lands. If people respect the Chinese people, they will inevitably need a wealthy and powerful China behind the Chinese people. For hundreds of years, our China first resigned to the Jin Dynasty and then died in Mongolia, and the mountains and rivers were broken. How could people who destroyed the country and the families be respected? What is the respectable thing?"
"This..." Zhu Yuanzhang had never heard of this statement. The civil officials around him always told him that China was the center of the world and that the four barbarians had come to the dynasty since ancient times. In his thinking, the Yuan Dynasty of the Mongols was the previous dynasty. Although he was a little cruel to the Han people, he was still a master of China. The demise of the Song Dynasty in Mongolia was just a decline in the country's fortune and a change of dynasty. The Southern Song Dynasty was just a temporary measure to be submissive, and it was no big deal. The Tang Dynasty even called a superior minister to the Turks. Now the relationship between the nation and the people proposed by Wu'an Kingdom is too novel and difficult to understand for a while.
"Long live, people respect me as the best country in China, but they are just the wishful thinking of scholars who do not leave their homes." Cao Zhen saw that Zhu Yuanzhang could not reflect for a moment and explained softly. He had been to the Western Regions and knew that Westerners respect strength. "The respect between countries depends on strength, and the same is true for the people and the people. The Mongols entered the Central Plains, and the Chinese people were all fourth-class slaves. When did they think we were people of a country? It was just to put gold on our faces. As for respect, Long live also know that the Japanese robbed the sea of our Ming Dynasty, and Long live rebuked the king again and again, but the Japanese pirates never stopped their beastly behavior. The Goryeo people respected the surface, but occupied my hometown in Liaodong and did not want to return it at all. The so-called "Four Barbarians came to pay tribute to the court was just a scholar's dream and stole bells, which was not worthy of trust."
"Damn it" Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand and threw all the teacups on the dragon case on the ground. Since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, Japanese pirates have been harassed the southeast coast. They sent envoys to negotiate several times. The Japanese were immersed in the achievements of defeating the Mongolian navy and did not take it seriously. They wanted to send a navy to attack, but were worried about repeating the mistakes of the Mongolian navy and he was hesitant. Goryeo even more so, and he actually relied on the tens of thousands of miles of territory in Liaodong on the grounds of being entrusted by the Mongols. In order not to make enemies from all sides, he also endured it. Today, Cao Zhen mentioned Japan and Goryeo were poking the pain in his heart and immediately became furious. The eunuchs serving around rushed over quickly, packing up the broken porcelain while signaling everyone not to say anything else.
After a while of silence, Zhu Yuanzhang said, "General Wu, today I will appoint you as the Marquis of Ping Liao to assist the King of Yan in handling northern defense. You have talent in your heart. Can you give me some advice on how to regain Liaodong and wipe out the Japanese pirates?"
"Father, my son has another plan to pacify Liao." Going out of the pass to fight was something that Zhu Di could not ask for. A few days ago, Zhu Yuanzhang asked about the situation in Liaodong in Wu'an Kingdom. Zhu Di inferred that his father wanted to use troops to Liaodong, so he went back and thought about it carefully for a long time. Now he took the opportunity and asked for his orders as soon as Wu'an Kingdom thanked him for his kindness.
"Oh, what's the trick of Wang'er?"
"I dare not, it's not good to calculate it. My son thought that Liaodong is vast and sparsely populated, so it is not advisable to send large troops to fight for a long time, otherwise our army will not be able to consume food and grass alone." Zhu Di listened to Wu'anguo's comments on military strategies for Mongolia in Huairou, and this time he sold them all like a bamboo tube of beans. "It's better to send tens of thousands of elite soldiers to equip fire guns, cannons, and firearms seem expensive, but few soldiers are easy to replenish, and fire yao and other things can be made all year round.
There is no need to wait until the harvest is good. The Goryeo people dare not touch our army's vanguards, and they will definitely fight guerrillas with our army like the Mongols. Our army chased them with good horses. Anyway, the war was not in the Central Plains, and it was not damaged from our Central Plains. At the same time, our army sent a navy to seal it. Zhu Di pointed to the Yalu River and cut off the Goryeo's food route. I want to see if my Ming army would deal with the Goryeo without food or help."
"My son's trick" Zhu Yuanzhang felt very comforted and his expression calmed down a lot. This child really learned a lot of things, and it was not as happy as seeing his children promising. He touched his beard and looked along the map while thinking. "But really, according to what you said, if you build tens of thousands of musket soldiers, it is probably difficult to support the national treasury." When the Mongolians withdrew from the Central Plains, they moved the entire national treasury outside the border, so the Ming Dynasty was always tight. Zhu Di had previously introduced to him the "Baiyin Township Warrior" of Huairou. He calculated that it would take at least one year of national tax revenue to build an army of 100,000 people, so he only planned to do it slowly.
"Long live, don't worry about the silver, I have a way." When talking about the silver, Guo Pu's heart was filled with a light of inspiration. He quickly started the report. "In the past two years, General Wu has taught his ministers to communicate with merchants and mines. My ministers gradually understood how to make the local area rich. Zhou Shu said: 'If the farmer does not come out, there will be no food, if the worker does not come out, there will be no business, if the business does not come out, the three treasures will be lost, if the Yu does not come out, the wealth will be scarce and the mountains and lakes will not be opened.' My ministers think that if the people are to be rich, farmers, workers, merchants and Yu must be promoted. Since the Han Dynasty, our Central Plains have valued agriculture and neglected the other three people. Little do they know that the grain obtained by farmers in a year is not as good as that of working for a month.
The value of the goods made is that they focus on agriculture. On the surface, the people do not worry about food and the country is stable. In fact, the national treasury is scarce. Once there is a natural disaster, the court is unable to save the people, and the disaster will arise. My ministers think that if you want to enrich the country and strengthen the army, the first thing you need to do is to make the four people equal. The world is abundant and all for profit. If the four people are equal, then there will be many workers, merchants and Yu, and there will be many taxes for them. Long live the local government to set taxes for labor, merchants and Yu, and you cannot collect taxes indiscriminately. If this happens, there will be many workers, merchants and Yu, and there will be many taxes, and the national treasury is sufficient. Why worry about not having silver to build a tiger and wolf army, and why worry about the uncertainty of the world."
"It makes sense, General Cao, what do you think?" Zhu Yuanzhang nodded slightly, and saw Cao Zhen next to him eager to try and ask.
"Long live the report. I think that no farming is unstable, no business is not rich, no work is strong, no farming, no business is not strong, no farming, businessmanship is not a victorious army, no victory in the army, no victory in the country will not be long, and the country is not solid. It is important to know that Confucian education can appease the people, but the pillars of fighting and defending the country come from the army, and the kingly way is also domineering assistant." Cao Zhen, Wu'anguo, Guo Pu, and Li Shanping discussed the most in his spare time, and immediately explained some commonly accepted principles one by one. "Like water wheels, windmills and other things are promoted, and there is naturally no need to harvest the same food. Long live, there is no need to worry about the lack of food for the people. Besides, the world is so big, not my Ming Dynasty. As long as I have silver, I can buy grain from any surrounding country to prepare for an unexpected situation. In Huairou, a crystal glass cup is more than one stone for rice. Now there are countless other countries that have no money in my Ming Dynasty. As long as merchants come and go, why worry about not having money to collect."
"Yes, what does General Wu think?"
"Long live, I think what Guo Taigong and General Cao said was very true, but I still have a little superficial opinion." Wu'anguo's ideas were gradually mobilized by everyone. I thought that I had not heard of the customs in the Ming Dynasty. I suggested in a bad way, "I think that Your Majesty can also choose a place to build a good port on the beach and a border on the land. One is to facilitate the parking and rest of the passengers, and the other is to station naval troops or cavalry in these places to escort merchants safely. Of course, these have to be charged fees." Wu'anguo gradually revealed the essence of "incompetent merchants". "Third, customs are set up in these places, and goods entering and leaving the customs must be declared and tariffs are collected for the national treasury. For goods that our dynasty needs, light taxes are paid when entering and leaving the customs, and heavy taxes are paid when entering and entering and entering and leaving the customs. The important materials, such as grain, are not allowed to go out of customs. In this way, the hidden dangers of communicating merchants can be reduced."
"Okay, okay, okay, okay," Zhu Yuanzhang nodded constantly, "The clever plan is really a clever plan." Seeing that he was happy, Cao Zhen added, "Long live, I escorted goods for merchants in my early years, and found that the Western gold and silver were cheap. One gold could be exchanged for more than ten silvers, and copper was even cheaper. Our country's silver was precious and gold was cheap, and one gold was exchanged for only four silvers. In the past, the road was unstable, so there would be no merchants who brought a large sum of gold and silver. Now Mongolia is obedient, and the road is peaceful, and there must be someone to trade gold and silver. Our people will suffer losses. Long live, and the order is not as follows. After the customs is established, gold can only be in and out, so this problem can be eliminated. As for the Japanese pirates, after the Ming Dynasty set up customs, we can train naval troops in good ports and train combat power by escorting merchant ships. When the navy matures, we will wipe out Japan in one fell swoop, so that they can be disgusting there."
"Yes, then, I will take the head of the chief of the Japanese king to my father as a chamber pot." Zhu Di interrupted: "It is not enough to prohibit gold from leaving the customs. I should order the treasury in the future to use gold as a stock to eliminate this problem forever."
"Well" Zhu Yuanzhang pondered for a moment. What everyone said made him eager to try. The Yuan Dynasty did not value agriculture, so he did not pay so much attention to agriculture at this time. However, changing the silver to the gold of the treasury was unprecedented, so he did not dare to draw conclusions easily. After thinking for a while, he ordered everyone to write a detailed book of today's insights and wait for the morning court to discuss with the ministers tomorrow.
"How can I not be moved by the paintings of the country?" After Zhu Yuanzhang and Wu Anguo and others retreated, they began to pace towards the map again. The first time I heard that the world was so big, the impact on him was obvious. After becoming the emperor, my heart became increasingly tired and became active again. "I want to compete with the heroes of the world for a great victory. Hehe, my Chinese people, and I am upright no matter where I go. His grandmother, Lao Zhu first calmed down all the countries that I disagree with."
While he was full of confidence, Empress Ma walked in from outside the door. When Zhu Yuanzhang was in the Red Turban Army, he was suspicious by his boss Guo Zixing. Empress Ma sacrificed his life to save him several times. When he fought fiercely with the Mongols, he was also accompanied by his side many times. The eldest son Zhu Biao was born in front of the formation. Therefore, Zhu Yuanzhang had a close relationship with Empress Ma. Empress Ma did not interfere in government affairs, but whenever Zhu Yuanzhang got angry, there was always a eunuch who quietly reported to Empress Ma. Just now, Zhu Yuanzhang was angry, and Empress Ma arrived quietly and had been waiting outside for a long time. Seeing that everyone had discussed and left, he came in to comfort her husband. Seeing Zhu Yuanzhang's current appearance, he knew that he had plans in his heart, and asked in a gentle voice, "Your Majesty, the hairless guy just went out to the house is the legendary skilled craftsman like Lu Ban." "That's right, it's not just Lu Ban, it's simply Zhuge's rebirth," Zhu Yuanzhang praised.
"Will your Majesty be like a fish in water now?"
"It's not just like a fish in water, I'm now a cloud growing under my ribs."
