Daming: I asked you to hang yourself, but I didn’t ask you to rebuild the Ming Dynasty

Zhu Youjian praised his ancestors in his heart, and then said:

"I, the Huaxia, are originally descendants of the dragon, and the relief on the wall of the palace gate is the dragon.

Not a single cent of the Chinese territory conquered by our ancestors should be lost! "

"Come here, place the stele of Yu's traces in the center of the screen wall at the entrance of the palace!

Today, I placed the traces of Yu on the screen wall as a warning to those who come after me! "

Zhu Youjian looked at Fuzhi, the new living minister who was responsible for recording the emperor's words and deeds, and ordered:

"Record these words of mine and excerpt them into the "Huang Ming Ancestor Instructions"!"

Wang Fuzhi hurriedly made notes on what he just said.

After he was off duty and handed over the errands with other living men, he would include this passage in the "Huang Ming Ancestor Instructions".

……

Although the Yuji Tablet Stele was carved in the Song Dynasty, its significance is extraordinary.

It is not a simple map of one time or one day.

Instead, using the traces of Dayu's flood control as clues, the mountains, rivers, and prefectures and counties ruled by the Chinese dynasties were all engraved on a stone tablet.

Rather than saying that this is the footprints of Dayu, it is better to say that this is a comprehensive summary of the territory of China's past dynasties.

It begins with Dayu, the founding king of the Xia Dynasty in 2200 BC, and ends with the Song Dynasty where it was carved.

It not only engraved the mountains and rivers of Jiuzhou at the core of China, but also included the states and cities in the Western Regions of the Han Dynasty and the Tang Dynasty, as well as the states and counties that penetrated into Vietnam in the past dynasties.

It can be said that although this stone tablet cannot show the territory of a certain dynasty...

However, the meaning of this thing is also here.

This is a symbol of the inheritance of the Han family from generation to generation and its legal rule over various places.

This object is almost a sacred object to the Chinese rulers!

Even if it is juxtaposed with the jade seal passed down from the country, it is still enough to afford it!

How can Li Zicheng regard it as a way to repay Zhu Youjian's love for giving him a precise map? How can it be a mortal thing?

This thing is the answer to the attributive phrase - since ancient times!

After letting the strong men carry away Yu Jitu, Zhu Youjian laughed:

"Li Zicheng is thoughtful, and this thing is very suitable for me.

After your husband returns, thank him for me. "

Song Xiance hurriedly agreed.

Seeing Zhu Youjian happy, Song Xiance revealed his purpose:

"Your Majesty, my emperor asked me to come here, firstly to repay His Majesty's gift, and secondly because I have a request from Your Majesty."

"Oh?"

Zhu Youjian smiled:

"I have learned about the Tatars' troop deployment.

That's why you came here!

Tell me, what kind of help does Li Zicheng need? "

Along the way, Song Xiance gave himself the green light everywhere, so how could he not understand Zhu Youjian's thoughts?

He was not pretentious and said immediately:

"There has been a severe drought in Guanzhong for more than ten years, and the land in Guanzhong has almost no harvest. Not only do the people have no food and clothing, but our army also lacks food to satisfy their hunger.

Therefore, I also ask Your Majesty to allow us to purchase grain. "

Zhu Youjian laughed:

"Of course there is food, and I am willing to sell it to Li Zicheng.

However, the Wuguan Road is difficult to travel, and if it is transported to Wuguan, the price is quite high! "

When Song Xiance saw Zhu Youjian agreeing to sell grain, he dared to argue about the price of grain.

To put it bluntly, at this time, even if Zhu Youjian was given ten taels of silver and one stone of food, Dashun and the others could only accept it!

Song Xiance said immediately:

"My emperor is willing to buy grain at the price of five taels of silver. What do you think, His Majesty the Emperor?"

The corners of Zhu Youjian's mouth curled up.

The grain sent by Zuo Liangyu was transported by water and transported by large armies. Therefore, the price of grain was only a little over seven cents when it arrived in Handu.

He is developing the ancient Shang Yu Road, although only [-]% of the entire road has been built.

However, those dangerous places have been widened a lot.

At the very least, they can accommodate large vehicles.

If he transports the grain to Wuguan...

Thanks to his initiative in widening the ancient road, at this time, he was able to deliver grain to Wuguan for only one to two eight cents per stone.

If you come and go, you can make a huge profit of three taels!

If a bulk commodity like grain can have a 150% profit, it is really a high price!

but!

Zhu Youjian was not satisfied yet.

……

In the past, in order to conquer central Sichuan, the Qin Dynasty made excuses to let Shu repair its own roads.

You know, the Qin State at this time was not as large as the Shu State.

Because the Qin State had robbed the Shu State of Hanzhong before, both sides were holding back their strength.

However, because Qin and Shu had a good marriage relationship with each other, it was not easy for them to fall out.

When King Qin Hui invited the King of Shu to hunt in Hanzhong, the King of Shu agreed in order to show off his force and convince Qin to take back Hanzhong.

During the hunt, King Hui of Qin showed weakness at every turn, and was eventually defeated by King Shu, so he offered to sacrifice a four-stone stone bull (the legendary golden bull).

The king of Shu naturally accepted it with pleasure.

The King of Shu naturally wanted to build the Golden Bull Road openly and secretly attack Hanzhong to regain the lost territory.

who knows……

By the time the road was completed, the Golden Bull had not been transported back, but Da Qin occupied the Shu Kingdom in central Sichuan.

This move laid the foundation for Qin to unify the six countries.

How could Zhu Youjian not follow the old wisdom of his predecessors!

When Zhu Youjian thought of this, he waved his hands and said:

"Even if I agree, it will cost you a lot to transport this food back.

Therefore, I have a suggestion, Mr. Song might as well listen to it first. "

Song Xiance said hurriedly:

"Please enlighten me, Your Majesty!"

Zhu Youjian said:

"It is difficult for merchants to travel on the ancient roads, especially north of Wuguan, and the part controlled by Li Zicheng is the most difficult and dangerous place.

I think it would be better if Li Zicheng repaired this road.

This way your expenses will be smaller!

If not, Shang Yu's ancient path during the An-Shi Rebellion in the Tang Dynasty would be known as the "Long-Liang Dao".

You will suffer too much loss if you only rely on manpower to carry food through.

Even if I sell it to you, the consumption on the road will not be small! "

Song Xiance couldn't help but sigh when he heard what Zhu Youjian said.

The emperor is telling the truth!

The difficulty of this ancient road is really too difficult and dangerous!

Only by fixing it first can you get twice the result with half the effort.

Unfortunately--

They were already short of food, so how could Zhu Youjian have the skills to mobilize the people to start business on the ancient roads!

As for whether Zhu Youjian will falsely attack Guo...

joke!

Who has ever seen selling advanced weapons to one’s enemies?

Zhu Youjian even sold them so many advanced muskets!

If you want to attack them, aren't you asking for trouble for yourself?

but!

Song Xiance frowned, although logically speaking, Zhu Youjian would not do this...

But we must prevent him from doing this!

Today's Dashun is on the front line. Once it and the Tatars both lose...

Don't let Zhu Youjian take advantage!

Song Xiance made up his mind that this road could not be built by Dashun!

……

Zhu Youjian saw Song Xiance's face and knew what he was thinking.

We still need to put Song Xiance’s heart at ease!

I don’t follow the example of King Qin!

After all, the allusion of the Shu Kingdom's failure to do its best is really scary. Who can not guard against this move?

I'll give him a change!

Zhu Youjian laughed:

"I heard that Li Zicheng was in the capital and produced 8000 to [-] million taels of silver?"
