My Daming New Empire

Zhu Zhanji wants to go to Europe in person, and he also has a purpose in his heart, which is to change the current social atmosphere.

Even His Majesty the Grandson has gone to a small barbarian country in the west, the outside world is not so scary.

As long as people are willing to change and want to live better.This is just like the reform and opening up of later generations. In just 40 years, a poor ancient country has become a modern country.

Although the current Ming Dynasty is the largest and most prosperous country in the world, in fact prosperity is only relative.

In times of calamity, there are still countless tragedies of selling children and selling daughters.

Go out and occupy more land and more resources, so that Ming can never be defeated by the enemy.

Even if the management system collapses in the end due to their own reasons, the Han people still occupy the world, and the meat is still in the pot if it is rotten.

He just kept his food in the bowl, but in the end the meat in the pot was snatched away by a group of small countries.

In this era, Zhu Zhanji's biggest goal is to make up for this regret.

Let the Han people occupy the whole world, let the whole world be proud of speaking Chinese, and let the Han people become the mainstream force in the world.

Establishing a smooth food supply channel is only the first step. As long as there is food, Zhu Zhanji is not afraid that there will be no money to give it. Shi Jian Yinshan will soon belong to Daming, and there will be countless silver there.

Even without silver, Ming can still produce enough goods to meet the needs of those countries, thereby alleviating the growing land annexation in the country.

It is unprofitable to grow food, but it cannot affect stability.Then let people turn their attention to other industries and abroad, which is the real development direction of Daming.

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

On April [-]th, the Great Court Meeting was held as scheduled.Huang Yuan purchased a large amount of grain, which made Zhu Di very happy.

Xia Yuanji, Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs, calculated the cost of buying grain at the court meeting, which immediately made most of the ministers look dazed.

Although the food was brought back from thousands of miles away, because of the large carrying capacity of today's treasure ships, the cost was even lower than the domestic food price.

Countless people wrote letters one after another, requesting the suspension of shipping and the stabilization of domestic grain prices.

In the agricultural era, food prices were the foundation of a country's stability. No matter whether the price of food was too high or too low, it would cause social instability.

The price of grain in Daming is already very low now, and one tael of silver can buy 450 catties of rice.Gray noodles are slightly more expensive.One tael of silver can buy nearly four hundred catties.

No matter how low the food price is, farmers will not be able to profit from farming, and even lose money, which will lead to a serious social crisis.

There is no fool who can enter the Fengtian Temple for the Great Court Meeting. On the contrary, they are the most shrewd group of people in this era.They can all clearly understand the impact of low food prices on farmers. If no one is willing to farm, what will they eat in the future?People have more time, wouldn't it cause social instability again!

Of course Zhu Zhanji took this situation into consideration, and he argued hard. First, he analyzed the impact of the snow disaster at the beginning of the year on farmers, and second, he believed that Daming should store more grain reserves to deal with possible disasters, and that traditions should be preserved in the future.

In the end, he promised not to distribute these grains to the market. In addition to being used as reserve military grain, more of them would be made into wine and rice vinegar through the internal supervisor's wine and vinegar dough for sale.

There were also ministers who wanted to object, but Zhu Di refuted it.

Zhu Di spends money lavishly, even building a Taoist temple in Wudang Mountain can cost several million taels of silver.

But at the same time, he is also more aware of the importance of money, without money, he will not have the confidence to fight!

Now more wine and vinegar can be sold every year, which means more money. How could he allow the ministers to cut off his financial resources.

At this time, Jiangnan's capital forces have not yet formed a scale, and they don't know how to establish their own agents within the imperial court.

Therefore, no minister dared to oppose Zhu Di's opinion, and there was no need to oppose it.

As long as the grain does not circulate in large quantities on the market and affect the price of grain, whether it is to expand the grain reserve or make it into wine and vinegar for sale, it has nothing to do with them.

Besides, all the ministers today, including the foreign envoys watching the ceremony, their focus is not here at all.

Everyone is waiting for the report from the Ministry of War, because if Daming wants to send troops, it should be announced today.

After Hubu's summary was over, everyone's breathing seemed to have stopped. In the entire hall, only Wang Yan's slightly shrill voice rang out. "I asked Zuo Shangshu Fangbin of the Ministry of War to play..."

A dozen or so eunuchs distributed in different positions in the main hall waited for his words to finish, and they all repeated together: "I have invited the Zuo Shangshu Fangbin from the Ministry of War..."

Fang Bin took a few steps forward and came to the center of the main hall. First he knelt down and kowtowed three times. It's Yinri's business!"

Wang Yan went down the steps from the side, took the memorial he presented, and passed it to Zhu Di.

During the period of Zhu Yuanzhang, the ministers had to kneel at the beginning of the performance, but in the period of Zhu Di, they changed to standing. However, during the Grand Court Meeting on the [-]th day of the Lunar New Year, because there were foreign spectator groups every time, at this time, everyone You need to kneel down before doing anything.

Zhu Di accepted the memorial and nodded, and Wang Yan, who was standing next to him, shouted loudly again: "Zuzhen!"

Zhu Zhanji, who was sitting on the high platform on the second floor, was just below Wang Yan, and his eardrums were numb from his voice.

Of course, Fang Bin's voice was not so piercing. Although this person was greedy, he was capable, alert, and able to grasp his intentions.And the appearance is dignified, the demeanor is excellent, and the speech and behavior are very good.

Xie Jin commented that he is a talented person with a wide range of books and a heart of a swindler.

What is a philistine? It originally refers to a broker who trades horses, and later added the meaning of a philistine.

For future generations, this is a manager with a lot of tongue, who despises him for his literary talents, but is extremely philistine.

Hearing what Zhu Di said, he got up and stood in the middle, turned his back slightly to Zhu Di, and faced all the officials, and said in a cadenced voice: "In the first half of the Guisi month, the Ministry of War reported six incidents in 310, delivered seven copies of the edict, and three hundred imperial edicts. Zero nine. The Ministry of War worked together to dispatch more than 65 troops for His Royal Highness Taisun's expedition to Dongying, including [-] generals with a total of more than [-]..."

At the Great Court Meeting, generally no specific incidents will be discussed, and more will be expounded on the summary of the work of various departments in the past half month.

As for the emperors on TV hearing cases at court meetings, this is like handling a civil case at the National People's Congress in later generations, which is pure nonsense.

Only cases or incidents related to the society and the people's livelihood will be brought to the court for discussion, such as rebellion, such as disaster relief.

Of course, the army is also in this ranks.

Fang Binhui reported the incident of the Ministry of War in one breath, then turned to face Zhu Di, and stood quietly in the lobby.

Zhu Di looked at the memorial and listened to Fang Bin's report at the same time. Before Fang Bin's report was over, he had already read the memorial.

At this time, he opened his mouth and said: "Since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, when I sent Yang Zai as an envoy for the first time, I was imprisoned by King Huailiang of the Southern Dynasty of Dongying and killed five of my envoys. Taizu read his ignorance and forgave him, but he did not Remembering the old kindness, I disturbed our border many times in the last years of Hongwu."

"Since the period of Ashikaga Yoshimitsu, under his strong restraint, the phenomenon of Japanese pirates has been curbed. But after Ashikaga Yoshimitsu, his son Ashikaga Yoshimitsu stared at my Ming Dynasty, repeatedly tested my Ming Dynasty, and sent a large number of people last year to plunder. They invaded the Korean language Ryukyu and other countries, causing great damage to our Ming Dynasty.”

"Taisun Zhanji led an army of [-] in the past winter to eliminate Japanese pirates entrenched in Tsushima Island and Jeju Island, and captured more than [-] people. Except for thousands of remnants of the original Southern Dynasty, nearly half of them are descendants of famous names in Dongying."

At this time, he stood up from the dragon chair, got up and took two steps, and came to the front of the three-story imperial platform, leaned on the railing with both hands, leaned over and said: "I sent Jin Shangshu to Dongying to ask for responsibility, Ashikaga Yoshichi Dare to block the sea area and refuse my envoy. If you don't let other big names get in touch with my special envoy, I'm a motherfucker, if you don't save me some face, then beat him a son of a bitch!"

Even though Zhu Zhanji was already familiar with this grandfather's character, he almost couldn't help laughing when he encountered such scolding at the court meeting.

Whether it is Zhu Yuanzhang or Zhu Di, including the current self, it cannot be said that he is a big old man, but he can only be regarded as a rough writer.

He himself is a little bit better, and he likes to act within the established rules, which is also the character he brought to future generations.

But Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Di are both God's biggest second sons, they are happy and angry, and they don't obey any rules.

Even issuing imperial edicts is sometimes like child's play.
