At least, for this point, he is much stronger than Li Mu.

When recording, Wei Zhongxian directly changed the vernacular into an official document that officials could understand.

After talking about the reform of the military system and some things about the inspection team, Li Mu thought about it for a while, and then said: "Let's start a new line and talk about the next thing."

"Yes." Wei Zhongxian saw that the imperial paper was almost finished, so he simply laid out another imperial paper.

After waiting for a while, Li Mu changed his address to what he said next.

"Empress Dowager, I did not come back empty-handed from my homeland this time. I came back this time. I prepared 1000 million tons of grain for Daming, totaling [-] million shi. These grains are used to deal with The use of natural disasters in the future of the Ming Dynasty, and the maintenance of the entire Ming court and the army under the situation of no crops in the territory of the Ming Dynasty in recent years."

Although 1000 million tons of grain cannot feed the entire population of Daming, it can still be used as a temporary emergency.

You know, he has also prepared a "world support plan" for Daming, which is the guarantee that can truly feed the entire population of Daming and survive the natural disasters in the next ten years.

"Wei Gong, stop writing for now, I have something to tell you." Li Mu ordered.

Next, some things are not for Zhang Yan, but for Wei Zhongxian, so there is no need to record these words.

Wei Zhongxian stopped the brush in his hand, and said respectfully: "My lord, please speak."

"Well, it's about the Taizu of the Ming Dynasty and Emperor Hongwu. I know that it is impossible for the officials of the Ming Dynasty or the imperial clan of the Ming Dynasty to abolish the Thirteen Kingdoms of Unconquerable Conquest. Especially, this Thirteen Kingdoms of No Conquest is the ancestral motto of the Ming royal family." Li Mu said to himself.

Hearing the Thirteen Unconquered Kingdoms, Wei Zhongxian said: "Returning to the Lord, it is indeed so. No one cares about changing the ancestral precepts of the Emperor Taizu of the Ming Dynasty."

"However, he is contrary to my 'World Support for Ming Dynasty Plan'." Li Mu said, if you want to implement the 'World Support for Daming Plan', you must abolish Zhu Yuanzhang's ancestral precepts of the thirteen countries that will not be conquered.

Because, the thirteen non-expropriation countries are almost all the countries around the Ming Dynasty, and the countries that were initially exploited and squeezed by the "World Support Plan" were precisely these countries around the Ming Dynasty.

This is what he struggles with the most, and it is also the reason why he dare not entrust Zhang Yan to carry out this plan, but intends to let Wei Zhongxian do it.

Hearing this, Wei Zhongxian suggested: "My lord, the ancestral precepts of the Great Ming Taizu cannot be changed, but they can be modified. It's just a matter of not following them in private. Thinking about it, this will not affect the Lord's plan. Over time, whether it is Both the imperial court and the officials are used to it, so no one will care about it."

"Eh?" Li Mu was taken aback for a moment, and then said happily, "That's right, then I'll leave my 'World Support Plan' to Duke Wei."

"Old slave, Your Majesty." Wei Zhongxian said.

Handing over the plan to Wei Zhongxian, Li Mu went on to say: "The so-called 'World Support Daming Plan' is to use the strong military pressure of Daming to coerce the vassal states around Daming, and pay a large amount of tribute to Daming every year to support the people of Ming Dynasty. people."

"The lord pays tribute to the vassal state every year, so there is no need for the imperial court to use force." Wei Zhongxian said puzzled.

Li Mu explained: "The tribute I am talking about is not Da Ming's original tribute strategy to the vassal states, but from now on, Daming only requires a large amount of grain, gold, and silver for the tributes of the vassal states, and nothing else. , and Daming does not have to pay anything to the vassal state that pays tribute."

"However, regarding this policy, the lord, I am afraid that none of the vassal congresses are willing to pay tribute to Ming Dynasty." Wei Zhongxian said hesitantly.

Smiling, Li Mu said: "That's why there is force and coercion. If the Ming Dynasty does not pay a large amount of grain, gold, and silver to the suzerain country, the Ming Dynasty will send troops to the vassal country to ask for it."

After a pause, he looked at Wei Zhongxian and continued: "This is why, this seat will say, the reason why the Thirteen Unconquered Kingdom and the 'Universal Support Plan' are in conflict."

"Old slave understands." Wei Zhongxian finally understood why this matter was entrusted to him instead of being recorded and handed over to the Queen Mother for review.

For the success of the plan, Li Mu went on to say: "If there is a vassal state that does not obey the order of Ming Dynasty, and the Ming army is at a disadvantage in the battle, you can borrow a team of wolf cavalry from the Queen Mother to wipe out the country that is not subject to you."

After leaving, he will temporarily hand over the control of the Wolf Cavalry Guards and Eagle Guards to Zhang Yan until he returns to the Ming plane.

"Old slave, understand."

(Come to the starting point to subscribe to the genuine version, rest assured that this word does not cost money)

Chapter 355 Leave

If you want to arrange all the tedious things at once, it will be very exhausting and tiring, and you are afraid that you will miss some items.

After instructing Wei Zhongxian on the "World Supporting Great Ming Project", and explaining the key points of it, Li Mu stood in the hall and then stepped up.

"Wei Gong, keep recording."

"Yes."

"In addition to 1000 million tons of grain left in Shaanxi, this seat also has [-] Hongyi cannons. These cannons are distributed to the nine borders of Liaodong and used by the Ming army. As for the specific distribution plan, the Queen Mother can discuss with the Ministry of War. "

For some things, it is impossible for him to cover everything, just give a general direction, otherwise, what would the Ming Dynasty want the cabinet and the six ministries for.

"In addition to these [-] Hongyi cannons, there are also [-] coastal cannons. These artillery pieces were used to deploy on the vast and long coastline of the Ming Dynasty to defend against invasion from the sea."

Speaking of the seaside of Ming Dynasty, he had to think of the Japanese pirates in the late Ming Dynasty and the rampant pirates in the coastal areas.

In particular, the Western countries in this period had already begun the age of great voyages and invaded and occupied the overseas territories of the Ming Dynasty.

Portugal, Netherlands.

Regarding this point, although he didn't have the time and energy to deal with these barbarians, he could temporarily ask Daming to take some countermeasures before exploring new unknown places.

If these problems have not been resolved by the time he returns to the Daming Plane, then he doesn't mind using forceful means to level the borders of Daming and suppress these petty people.

After making up his mind, Li Mu went on to say: "Duke Wei, write down, for the sake of Ming's taxation, the imperial court needs to increase overseas trade. Regarding the matter of Daming's sea ban, let the six cabinets decide to open the sea ban and make it important for ships to dock in coastal state capitals." The port was established, and the Customs Department, the ownership of this department, is in charge of overseas trade, and has the right to collect taxes on every merchant ship entering and leaving Daming. At the same time, this department is directly under the cabinet, and the coastal states have no jurisdiction."

"In addition to the establishment of the Customs Department, for the sake of the safety of Daming's sea area, while deploying coastal artillery, Daming restarted the Fuchuan, waited for the construction of sea ships, and set up a navy for naval warfare, a navy of the four seas, to protect the integrity of Daming's sea area sex."

"Keep in mind that Daming seas are not allowed to be peeped by others."

"The Lord has recorded it." Wei Zhongxian raised his head and said after carefully memorizing it.

"Ah."

Li Mu nodded and thought for a while. There should be nothing else to say. The only thing that has not been said is the reform of the Ming currency system.

"Wei Gong, where are the banknotes I brought back now?"

When he was in Muxi Temple, he took out all the goods from the system space, including the bank notes with a total denomination of 200 billion taels.

Wei Zhongxian thought for a moment and said, "The Lord is talking about those beautifully printed silver notes?"

"Exactly." Li Mu said.

After confirming it, Wei Zhongxian said: "Go back to the lord, those beautifully printed banknotes, when they were in the Osmanthus japonica Hall, the lord did not give orders, and the old slave was afraid that they would be lost, so he put them all in the inner money."

"Very good." This point was indeed his mistake. At that time, he only cared about the artillery and didn't care about the bank notes for a while.

However, it is not too late to say now.

"Remember, from now on, the Ming Dynasty will carry out the reform of the currency system. On the basis of the internal silver, the Daming Royal Bank will be established, and the Daming Royal Bank will be established in all the state capitals of the country. The bank notes brought back by the Daming Royal Bank will be returned. Based on the copper coins owned by the Ming Dynasty, the currency policy of bank notes and copper coins was implemented."

Hearing Li Mu's order again, Wei Zhongxian, who straightened up just now, quickly dipped a brush in the ink and began to record on the imperial paper.

And Li Mu went on to say: "In order to strengthen management, only internal funds have the right to print and issue coins in the Ming Dynasty. The imperial court has no right to interfere with everything about coins. At the same time, in order to promote people's awareness of new coins, It is necessary for the Empress Dowager to decree jointly with the imperial court to abolish the silver and gold in the Ming Dynasty. The silver number is handed over to the imperial court."

"From now on, the national treasury under the control of the Ming Dynasty will no longer reserve bank notes as new coins. All taxes will be handed over to the Daming Royal Bank for reserve management. It is used to reserve silver, and the gold is handed over to internal funds for reserve.”
