My Daming New Empire

When the Pu family was ransacked, he was less than a month old.For decades, he has been growing up in a humiliating environment.

As time passed, almost everyone in the Pu family died, and only he knew the biggest secret of the Pu family.

After the Jianwen Dynasty, Habu redeemed him, married him and had children, and finally continued the incense.He slowly developed his own power, and with only a treasure of gold and silver, he spread the tentacles of the Pu family and has shares in the properties of many merchants.

On the surface, he is still a servant, but secretly, with Habu's support, his power is no less than that of any other family.

Now Zheng He has helped him get the edict of exoneration, and he will be able to live in a dignified manner in the future.

But he is still unwilling, he wants to restore the glory of his ancestors, and he also mastered two treasures of gold and silver hidden by the Pu family, these are his greatest ceremonies.

Now Zheng He said to let him continue to hide his strength and bide his time, even if he knew that this was due to the general trend, how could he be reconciled?

Around this voyage to the Western Seas, Zheng He discussed with everyone for a long time, until late at night, everyone dispersed.

Regardless of whether Zhu Zhanji will meet them tomorrow or not, they must be prepared and wait for the summons.

Zheng He recalled the conversation with everyone tonight, and felt that there was nothing wrong, so he was relieved.

He knew that his party could not be hidden from Zhu Zhanji, and he didn't want to hide it.He, Zheng He, was a man and acted in an upright manner.He has never had the slightest resentment, and he is dedicated to serving the country. He believes that his grandson can understand his intentions.

He has been leading the conversation tonight, and no one will say anything dissatisfied with the grandson. Presumably, His Highness will not be taboo against him or these people because of this matter.

After sending everyone away, Zheng He, Habu and Pu Rihe returned to Qingjing Mosque.Habu lived in the temple, and Pu Rihe, who was his "slave", of course also lived in the temple.

Walking in this slightly dark night, the guards and attendants were a few steps away from them, Pu Rihe lowered his voice and asked Zheng He: "My lord, is there any way to turn this matter around? "

Zheng He asked puzzledly: "Patriarch Pu, I don't understand, why do you insist on going to Tianfang with us? Now that you have been freed from crimes, if you want to go back to the west and take root in Tianfang, you can also find me in the future. chance to go back."

Pu Rihe shook his head and said: "It's thousands of miles away to go to Tianfang, the wind is rough and the waves are dangerous, and there are many pirates. If there is no fleet escort, I don't have the confidence to return to Tianfang. What's more, the Western Regions are poor, how can they be as rich as Daming? I If you want to regain the glory of your ancestors, how can you be willing to leave here?"

Zheng He asked: "But your Pu family has hidden gold in Tianfang?"

Pu Rihe knew that his wholehearted desire to return to Tianfang would lead to speculation in this regard.

There are three gold deposits in the Pu family, one is in Quanzhou, and he has already dug it out as a bargaining chip to win over everyone.One is in Tianfang, which is the last foundation of the Pu family.

There is also the largest one in an uninhabited desert island in Southeast Asia. This is the largest one, where the development funds were hidden during the spice trade.

He didn't dare to think about this place, because now that the sea is banned, all ships going to sea must have official documents from the imperial court and the eunuch, and fewer people go, fearing that other people will have different ideas, and if more people go, they will use his Pu family. The gold and silver exchanged by blood and sweat are cheap for others, and it is not conducive to keeping secrets.

Their Pu family also has a branch in Tianfang that guards gold and silver. He wants to return to Tianfang and withdraw gold and silver as funds for Pu's comeback.

So he didn't hide it at all, and directly admitted: "That's true. Now that the Ming Dynasty has been established for nearly 50 years, the country is peaceful and the people are safe, and it has entered a period of commercial development. It's a pity that I lack funds for development, so I want to go back to heaven and transport the hidden gold there. "

Zheng He looked at Habu who was smiling gently, obviously he also knew about it.He pondered for a while and said: "To be honest, Patriarch Pu believes in me, and tell me the address and contact information. If I go to Tianfang, I will help you bring back the hidden gold. Even if you want to bring your clansman here, He also can do it."

Pu Ri and Chang Yi bowed and said: "Of course I believe that the Duke of Dian is a man, I will trouble you with this matter, and I will definitely reward you generously in the future."

A new beauty, but Zhu Zhanji did not ignore the old man.After spending their wedding night with Shen Daier, she suffered a lot. In the next few days, Zhu Zhanji comforted a group of old people and kept them from being jealous.

This night was Liu Chenghui's bedtime, and Zhu Zhanji also told her in detail about the management of the harem, and asked her to control the girls not to get pregnant on the way out.

This trip will last for one or two years. If the child is born on the way, even if there are many doctors, it will not be safe.

If you want them to get pregnant, you have to wait until the return journey before stopping taking the contraceptive pill.

There is also the management of the harem. During this journey, various countries will definitely give Zhu Zhanji many women. Zhu Zhanji also handed over the management of these women to Liu Chenghui.

Liu Chenghui was naturally flattered to gain Zhu Zhanji's trust, and he firmly promised to help Zhu Zhanji manage the harem well.

Early in the morning of the second day, Zhu Zhanji woke up and did morning exercises unshakably.When the soldiers of Fashizhai got the news that the grandson had woken up, they immediately took action and conducted a drill on the big playground.

Looking at this majestic teacher, even if it was just some face-saving work, Zhu Zhanji was very happy.

During breakfast, he also got a summary of information from the Jinyiwei and the Advisory Department on the merchants in Quanzhou, including the words and deeds of Zheng He's meeting with those Semites last night.

In the morning, Zhu Zhanji had a one-time meeting with the generals of each water village, and then he was looking up these materials.

After seeing these details, Zhu Zhanji knew that he had made the problem complicated.

Now is not the end of the Ming Dynasty, and there is no interest group that has colluded with Confucianism and Jiangnan businessmen to monopolize the national economy.There is also no corruption of the government and the shrinking of power, which led to the emergence of bold Shanxi businessmen who colluded with foreign vassals.

After more than 30 years of cutting leeks by Zhu Yuanzhang, although today's merchant groups have begun to develop again because of social stability, they are still jittery, and the grass and trees are full of soldiers, and they are frightened.

Today's businessmen lack a sense of security, which is the biggest obstacle to rapid economic development.It never occurred to them to unite and use economic power to influence politics, because they were all afraid of death.

The businessmen in Quanzhou, including those Semitic people, had a close relationship with Zheng He. The main reason was that Zheng He brought countless profits to them during the previous four voyages to the West.

Because the large-scale trade in this era is controlled by the inner prisoner.

The relationship between Zheng He and the Pu family was not as collusive or conspiratorial as Zhu Zhanji had guessed at the beginning, but it was only because of sympathy and pity, and the entreaties of the same clan that he helped the Pu family to ask for the imperial edict.

In order to obtain the imperial edict, Pu Rihe paid Zhu Di a [-]-jin pure gold statue of the Supreme Lord.

Moreover, the Pu family has been ransacked for 40 years, all the female family members have died, and the men are still in their dying years, only Pu Rihe is still young.

So Zhu Di didn't care about Pu Rihe, and in a happy mood, with Zheng He's kind words, he pardoned his sins.

Even so, Zhu Zhanji didn't intend to give Zheng He a good face.At least let him be left out for a while, let him have a longer memory and know who he is now.

Of course, this is because Zhu Zhanji still wants to use him.If you don't want to use him, you will only be polite to him, and then kick him aside when you come back.

He changed the plan. Originally, he planned to personally lead Zheng He to lead the main fleet, and Wang Jinghong to lead the right army.But now he plans to let Zheng He lead the right army.

In the afternoon of the same day, Zhu Zhanji met representatives of major chambers of commerce and big merchants in Quanzhou. Just like in Ningbo, Zhu Zhanji explained the credit guarantee measures of the imperial court and promised that the bank will give priority to repaying the payment. If you want supplies, you can.

Of course, if you want gold and silver, you must also store it in the bank.

In the future, the imperial court will gradually increase its control over the circulation of large amounts of gold and silver, and gold and silver ingots will gradually withdraw from the market and be replaced by gold and silver coins.

He also introduced the regulations on bank loans in detail, as long as they can have collateral, they can get loans directly from the bank.In the future, the imperial court will increase its support to merchants to increase their competitiveness.

All the merchants were honored to have close contact with Zhu Zhanji. They wanted to know how to get honors from the court, and they were satisfied with Zhu Zhanji.

Before leaving, Zhu Zhanji distributed a pamphlet to each of them, which gave a detailed introduction to bank loans, transportation control of large amounts of gold and silver, and bank transfer rates for gold and silver.

It also includes allowing merchants to assume more social responsibilities. In the future, the imperial court will select a group of merchants every year for commendation and honors.

Of course, all this can't be done until he comes back. Zhu Di doesn't have much affection for the merchant.

As for Zhu Gaochi, let alone.He has always regarded merchants as a burden to society, and believed that merchants are the source of disasters, and he insisted on resolutely suppressing them.

Zhu Zhanji was in a better mood when he didn't feel the threat brought by the merchants, and waited for Zhu Zhen and Huang Yuan to incorporate all the ships in Quanzhou into the command system.

Sun Lin and the others also arranged the internal line into all the ships, and took on the responsibility of education, and then all the merchant ships set sail at the same time, taking advantage of the north wind, and began to head south.

Zheng He was somewhat unexpected about Zhu Zhanji's change of plan, but he did not sternly object. After hearing Zhu Zhanji's arrangement, he could only receive the military order with some frustration.
