I, the grandson of the second emperor of the Ming Dynasty, earned 100 million taels at the beginning

Looking at the burning paper, the old man struggled for a long time, and finally compromised.

The attraction of this thing to him is too great. Although he is not the emperor now, the heart of that country is still beating all the time.

I have to admit that the old man is really interested in this thing, and Zhu Zhangui has already made it clear above.

Now that Daming's trains and various roads are being laid, the transportation capacity in the future will be greatly enhanced. If it is equipped with various radio stations, Daming's ability to control the place is absolutely unprecedented.

The old man who has been the emperor for most of his life has worried more than once about the lack of influence of the imperial court in the local area.

Now that something to solve this problem appeared in front of him, the old man would be lying if he said he wasn't tempted.

But the problem was that he couldn't accept the price, so he could only tentatively ask if he could bargain.

Zhu Zhangui spread his hands helplessly.

"Grandpa's family is the seller, we are the buyer, and the other party is the exclusive seller, we can't compare if we want to shop around."

"It's not that I haven't negotiated the price with him, but he said back and forth, don't take it if you can't afford it."

"What a fucking profiteer, what your great-grandfather said is indeed true, none of those businessmen has a conscience, they are blind to money, and forget righteousness when they see profit, what a **** bastard!"

The old man pointed at the sky and cursed for a while, then lowered his head and muttered.

The imperial court must have run out of money. In order to repair railways and roads, and replenish training equipment for recruits, the imperial court was almost stripped.

If the imperial court had so much money, their grandfather and grandson would not rush out to earn this hard work.

The money in the bank cannot be moved, it is the foundation of Ming Dynasty, if it is moved, it will undoubtedly dig its own grave.

Like the recruitment in various places, thinking of the way officials in various places often cry poor, the old man gritted his teeth with hatred.

After thinking for a long time, he really couldn't think of where to get the money, so the old man looked up at Zhu Zhangui expectantly.

"How did you get that money back then?"

The meaning of the old man's words is, how did you get so much money during the few years you went out?

Zhu Zhangui touched his nose with his hand, "Didn't Zhang Xuan make it clear?"

"Buy by force, buy by force, rob houses, plunder by force, anyway, every means I made money in those years would have my head chopped off in Daming."

The old man waved his hand, "These are not important, you just need to say, I will let you go, and suppress the voice of opposition to the court for you, can you get this [-] million taels of silver!"

Zhu Zhangui suddenly looked up at the old man, "You mean, I will continue to grab it!"

The old man shook his head, pointed at Zhu Zhangui and then at himself.

"It's not you, but we're going to grab it together. If necessary, we can call your father over."

"If we don't have enough ships, we will transfer ships from China. If we don't have enough soldiers, we will transfer troops from China. Whoever you want to lead the troops, you can choose whatever you want in the entire Ming Dynasty, even if I personally go there."

"I have only one task for you, two years, two years, you must be sure and affirmative, and make up enough for this [-] million taels of silver!"

Zhu Zhangui looked at the old man with a smile when he heard the words, "Grandpa, if we rob him, it will be difficult for those kings to really surrender."

The old man sneered, "I'm planning to rob it, and I'm so sincere. If people kill all the land, it's still ours."

"Little brat, let me tell you, this man is just a weed in the wild, and the more you cut it, the more vigorous it will be!"

A few kings who had just surrendered in a certain place suddenly felt a sense of joy in their hearts, as well as an inexplicable feeling of surviving after the catastrophe.

Chapter 322: The first rebellious son should be held in the urinal and drowned!

At the end of December in the first year of Hongxi, Beiping, Shangshufang, Forbidden City.

Zhu Pangpang looked at the memorial in his hand, frowning tightly, without any relaxation.

This memorial was delivered last night. After reading it, he didn't sleep well last night, thinking about how to arrange this matter.

The old man had just handed over the country to him, but it turned out to be a good thing, and there were rebels below.

What does this mean?

Does this mean that Zhu Pangpang is incompetent and unable to manage this huge empire well.

Ever since he became the emperor, Zhu Pangpang gradually understood how the old man felt.

There is a great emperor like his grandfather in front of him, and his father, the Emperor Yongle who is destined to be famous in history, who has expanded the territory and expanded the territory. As the successor of the two, the pressure on Zhu Pangpang is really not ordinary.

Although his father told him that he is not expected to expand the territory, as long as he can hold the country and pass it on to the next generation safely.

But who wants to live a mediocre life, maybe when Zhu Pangpang was the prince, he didn't care about these things, but since he became the emperor, Zhu Pangpang didn't want to be shone by the light of his father's generation, so that he didn't even have a shadow.

He wants to radiate his light, he wants to radiate his heat, and he wants to leave his name in the history books.

I don't want future generations to know me like this in future history books.

This is the son of Emperor Yongle, the father of Emperor XX, an emperor whose name no one wants to mention.

When he wanted to introduce him to future generations, Zhu Di, the father of Emperor Hongxi, and Zhu Zhangui, the son of Emperor Hongxi.

In this way, he would not be in vain for a lifetime in this world, he would not be in vain for being an emperor once, and he would not be in vain for his ten years of being an unknown prince.

"The emperor, Mu Cheng, Yang Rong, and Yu Qian are waiting outside to be summoned."

Just when Zhu Pangpang was holding the memorial and frowning in thought, thinking whether the method he had come up with was suitable, the little eunuch who accompanied him since childhood walked in slowly and reported that the person he wanted to summon was already waiting outside.

Putting down the memorial in his hand, Zhu Pangpang said hastily. "It's cold, let them come in quickly, don't freeze!"

"Minister Yang Rong, Mu Cheng, Yu Qian, see Your Majesty!"

The three of them, dressed in two red and one blue official uniforms, walked in coldly and saluted Zhu Pangpang.

"Get up, there are no outsiders here, so you don't need to be polite."

Smiling and waving for the three of them to get up, Zhu Pangpang called the personal eunuch to serve hot soup, then picked up the memorial he had just read on the table, and led the three of them to the parlor of the next room.

Zhu Pangpang is an easy-going person without such big rules. Similarly, he also respects his courtiers very much. When he summons his ministers like other emperors, he does not sit high and show his status and majesty.

Although he was often complained by his father and son when he did this, he didn't take it seriously, anyway, he did it anyway.

Even later, the people in the palace were asked to prepare a living room in the room next to the Shang's study.

This living room is covered with high-quality Persian carpets, and there is a top-quality leather sofa delivered from the chamber of commerce. There is a large fireplace next to the wall, and a raging flame is burning behind the fire-resistant glass, warming the living room. the whole house.

"No outsiders, let's do it all. Ginseng soup is always hot in the small kitchen at the back. It's cold today, so you should drink some to warm your body."

When they came to the living room, Zhu Pangpang warmly invited the three of them to sit down.

Although Zhu Pangpang didn't care about those empty etiquettes, Yu Qian and the three of them didn't take it seriously because of the difference in dignity. After handing over their hands and thanking each other, the three found a seat and sat down after Zhu Pangpang sat down on the single sofa.

"This is the memorial sent by Jiaozhi yesterday. I thought about it all night last night and got some ideas, but I still want to hear your thoughts and see if there is a better solution."

Putting the memorial in his hand on the glass coffee table, Zhu Pangpang imitated his father and folded his hands in his sleeves, watching the three of them talk about the memorial.

"What about the three of you, one has participated in the Cochin War, the other has served as a governor in a nearby province, and the other is an important minister in the court, let's see how to deal with this matter."

The three of them looked at each other when they heard the words, and finally, under the humility of Yang Rong and Mu Cheng, Yu Qian, who had just returned from the Western Regions at the beginning of the year, picked up the memorial.

Yu Qian is less than 30 this year. To be honest, at his age, it is still rare for him to be the minister of the Ministry of War and rank in the middle of the court.

When Yu Qian took over as Minister of the Ministry of War at the beginning of the year, there were actually a lot of gossip.

It is said that Yu Qian was able to be promoted so quickly because of his cousin's relationship. Without his cousin blowing the pillow wind in Zhu Zhangui's ear, even if Yu Qian is talented, he would not be able to climb to this position now.

Yu Qian didn't care at all about the following rumors.

Whether he relied on his cousin's relationship, he knew best in his heart.

He is now able to get into this position at this age. Apart from his personal ability, the most important thing is that he is the same person as Zhu Zhangui, both of whom care about the people of the world.

It is precisely because the two have a common topic, coupled with his own talent and ability to handle affairs, as well as the credits gained from fighting on the battlefield many times, that he got his current position.

Of course, Yu Qian can't deny that his ability to climb so fast has something to do with his cousin and his nephew named Zhu Qizhen, but only he knows how big the ratio is.

The memorial was written by Ma Qi, the eunuch of the Jiaozhi Supervising Army. It stated that Li Li, the leader of the Annan rebel army, has been making troubles in the past two years.

He and Huang Fu, the garrison general, have encircled and suppressed the rebels many times this year, but they have all returned without success. They even suffered a lot of casualties.

But the rebel army was not wiped out, but with the continuous increase of the victorious force, the rebel army now has nearly 10 people, which has threatened the dominance of Ming Dynasty in Jiaozhi.

In the end, Ma Qi requested in the memorial that the imperial court distribute new weapons to the Jiaozhi garrison army as soon as possible, so that they can wipe out the local rebellion as soon as possible, and restore Jiaozhi to its former well-being and stability.

"This Maggie?"

Looking at the signature on the memorial, Yu Qian frowned slightly. It can be seen from the expression on his face that he didn't have a good impression of this person.

Mu Cheng, who was next to him, noticed Yu Qian's expression and didn't say a word, but a look of disdain flashed in his eyes.

Mu Cheng's disdain was not aimed at Yu Qian. When Yu Qian was the governor of Yunnan and Guizhou, he had contact with Yu Qian and knew that he was a capable person. nephew relationship

His disdain just now was aimed at that eunuch Ma Qi.

Relying on Zhu Di's trust in him, this guy ran amok in Jiaozhi, such as taking bribes, oppressing good people, occupying good land, buying and selling by force, and doing countless evil things.

Those people in Jiaozhi who were concerned about Daming were forced by this guy's series of methods, and their goodwill was completely gone. Now in Jiaozhi, Daming is synonymous with evil and greed.

Even when ordinary women scare their children, they will call out that the Ming people are coming, and those children will shrink into their mother's arms in fear when they hear this shout.

It can be seen from this that Ma Qi has such a bad influence on Daming.

It can even be said that this guy is responsible for at least 9% of the reason why the cochin has rotted like this. As for who is responsible for the remaining [-]%, Mu Chengcheng dare not say, and sometimes he dare not even think about it.

When worshiping the ancestors the year before last, Mu Cheng also mentioned this to Zhu Zhangui, and named Jiaozhi as a possible rebellion. He hoped that the court would send him more new weapons so that he could take them back and prepare for them.

As a result, after he came, he didn't go back. He was taken to Beiping by the old man, and he made a home for him, and even the people from his hometown took him over.

The current him is just a idle job as a military servant in the court, and he usually goes to the military department to check in. Anyway, the people in the military department did not give him any errands, so he just went out to take a walk to receive his salary.

The Mu family has fallen to this point, and Mu Cheng understands in his heart that this is the old man who is cutting their Mu family's power.

But what can I do if I know?

Thinking of the millions of troops at the military parade, the mighty and domineering cannons, the majestic cavalry regiment, and the gigantic giant in the sky that made him tremble when he appeared at the end, made him feel a little unconvinced. The small flame is completely extinguished.

The strength is not as good as others, so you can't accept it!

Although he was confiscated, Mu Cheng thought about it, and with his reminder, the imperial court would definitely pay attention to Jiaozhi.

But what puzzled him was that the imperial court didn't care about Cochin at all, and the old man didn't send troops to guard at all, and didn't even ask.

Mu Cheng even said that at the beginning of last year, the old man issued a letter of commendation to Ma Qi, praising him for being in Cochin, doing a good job there, and stabilizing the majesty of the court.

Mu Cheng was only silent about this, he said everything that should be said, he did everything that should be done, the choice of the court has nothing to do with him, besides, he is just an idle servant of the Ministry of War, and the things in the south have nothing to do with him .

In fact, Mu Cheng didn't know that at the beginning, the old man planned to send a general to lead the army, and by the way, press Ma Qi's bastard back for trial, but Zhu Zhangui stopped him later.

In Zhu Zhangui's words, although Jiaozhi has been the territory of Yanhuang since ancient times, it was separated for hundreds of years during the Yuan and Song Dynasties.

A hundred years, that's how many generations, coupled with their own independence, their thinking has already changed, they no longer have the memory of Yan Huang in their bones, only their own country, their own race.

It is very difficult to subdue this kind of region that already has a national concept. Even if some people care about Ming Dynasty, it will not be of much use. Once there is a twists and turns in the future, it is likely to be lost again. It will be even more difficult to pull it back.

Cochin for so long, why has it been making trouble?

Is it really a rebellion by the local people?

Zhu Zhangui didn't believe this.

Without the support of those gentry and aristocrats, it's a lie to be able to entangle with the powerful Ming for so long with those mud legs who don't know how to read.

The reason why those gentry opposed Daming was also very simple.

Before the Ming Dynasty came, they were the kings of this territory, and the nobles of this territory held the power of life and death of the people at the bottom.

But now that Daming came, not only did their status plummet, but even the things they did before were banned.

From simplicity to luxury is easy, from luxury to simplicity is difficult.

I have enjoyed a life of superiority and no one to control, who would like to be controlled by others, a miserable life.

But Daming and the others didn't dare to object, fearing that they would lose their lives because of this, and they wouldn't even be able to enjoy their current life.

So they secretly supported those rebels, hoping that these rebels would drive away Daming, and when they won in the future, they would stand up as supporters, return to the high position, continue to be a blessing, and enjoy a beautiful life.

Knowing the thoughts of those people in Jiaozhi, coupled with the disgusting operations of those monkeys in later generations, Zhu Zhangui didn't want to admit these guys as his own, and he didn't want to bring these disgusting guys into his big family and tarnish the greatness of Yanhuang blood and spiritual heritage.

Therefore, the solution given by Zhu Zhangui for this kind of rebellious, already disobedient and difficult to manage rebellious son is to drown in the urinal directly.

However, Daming was the kingdom of heaven, and Jiaozhi had been attached to Daming in name, so it was impossible for Daming to send troops to drive away or use other means to deal with the people and gentry of Jiaozhi for no reason.

So at this time, someone who is as scapegoat as Qin Hui is needed to appear, and Zhu Zhangui's choice of this person is Ma Qi.

Ma Qi, Jinyiwei and Yueyingwei have already investigated and found out that he is a rat and a scourge. A selfish stinky rat who destroys the interests of the country like this is the lightest punishment.

So even if the old man and Zhu Zhangui knew what this guy had done in Jiaozhi, they chose to turn a blind eye and even ordered to praise him.
