Spoiling History: Starting from the Three Kingdoms

Li Shimin sometimes feels that he is quite poor.

How can the pheasant slaves go to Mount Tai to enshrine Zen and make people angry? They want to waste money on the country and compete with the people to make up for the shortfall.

On the other hand, Song Zhenzong, although he was criticized in every possible way by later generations, the money he spent on his humiliating trip to Mount Tai came from his private treasury.

If you think about it again, Jiaozi was tried out in Sichuan by Empress Liu E after she was crowned Emperor Zhenzong of the Song Dynasty.

Therefore, in the Song Dynasty Zhenzong period, he was first sent to the capital to form an alliance, then he was given a yearly coin, and then he was granted the title of Zen. How could he still do this without damaging the national interests...

In comparison, it can be seen from the records of later generations that the problem of Tang Dynasty's wealth had already begun to emerge when Goguryeo was recruiting soldiers.

In the end, when the pheasant slaves collapsed and their undefeated record was shattered, they came to a conclusion after discussing with the ministers:

To put it bluntly, there are no soldiers who can fight to the death without rewards for their merits and wealth.

Therefore, in the previous light curtain replays and the discussions between the Prime Minister and the Fu in the past six months, there were many discussions around the system of wealth and wealth, and Li Shimin was also interested in it.

At this moment, listening to the descendants orderly listing the assets of the Japanese island, I tried to calculate in my mind how many years of Tang Dynasty's wealth this would amount to, and I couldn't help but click my tongue:

"This is truly an island made of gold and silver."

Fang Xuanling is steady by nature. At this time, he hesitated slightly after hearing His Majesty's instructions:

"We still don't know how the war went after Cao Guogong led his army into Japan, and the method of gold and silver wealth has not yet been perfected..."

Before he finished speaking, Wei Zheng jumped out and objected fiercely:

"In the Tang Dynasty, we were trying to punish the people and punish the Japanese. We were the traitors of the Japanese dynasty in the Qing Dynasty, we were punishing the big thieves who bullied the Japanese, and we were also complaining about the injustice of the Silla country. How could we be defeated?"

Du Ruhui was surprised. He didn't expect Secretary Wei, who was used to playing against His Majesty, to stand on His Majesty's side. However, Wei Zheng was right, and he immediately agreed:

"Looking at later generations' comments on the wealth of the Han Dynasty, they repeatedly said that the right to mint coins was important; if you want to make money, there is nothing wrong with hoarding more gold and silver."

This is the truth. Think about it. If Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty had such a golden mountain in his hands, why would he be criticized for using the White Deer Coin to make money?

Moreover, considering the long sea distance from Japan to Shandong, everything needs to be planned in advance, so Fang Xuanling nodded and agreed, but also smiled and sighed:

"No wonder later generations are extremely obsessed with territory."

"Just like when we looked at the country of Japan, which is narrow and mountainous, who would have thought that there was an island made of gold and silver?"

"It's like the Nanming Jue Island, where there are many poisonous insects, but no one can imagine that the vast islands are all made of iron ore."

"Compared with that, the products in my hometown in China are so meager."

Fang Xuanling's relaxed tone was obviously a joke, but think about what later generations said that glass production requires salt lake products, which are all found in Central and Western Asia; Treasure Island is in the Japanese country; Champa rice is in Jiaozhou; Juedao's iron ore; Zhuya's volcanic ash etc.

Not to mention the Americas that cannot be seen on the map. It is said that the corn and potatoes there are even more powerful weapons for the people.

Li Shimin laughed:

"The world is vast, so why be afraid of a long road of exploration?"

"We try our best to make Xia people prosperous for thousands of years."

…

In Kunning Palace, before Zhu Yuanzhang could recover from the words "End of the Ming Dynasty", he was quickly knocked down by those simple numbers.

Before today, he was the founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty, the commander-in-chief who expelled the Mongols and destroyed the Yuan Dynasty in the Northern Expedition. He was the only person in history who rose to the throne from a humble beginning, and was the one who successfully restored China after a hundred years of Hu Tong.

Looking forward, although we can see the end of the Han, Tang, and Song dynasties, we can’t help but hope for the foundation of all eternity.

But now it is only thirteen years after the founding of the country, especially today is the day of my birthday, but here I learn that the Ming Dynasty also died hundreds of years ago, which is no different from the Han and Tang Dynasties.

This is like entering Huangjue Temple as a young man, thinking that his life was finally settled and he no longer had to endure hunger.

As a result, he was still thinking about being grateful to the Buddha for his lifelong devotion to Buddhism. Then the old abbot locked the door of the temple and told everyone that they could not rely on the Buddha for food and that it was time to practice in the world.

So from the moment I heard the news, I could only console myself in my heart that what the screen said might not be true.

On the other hand, he persuaded himself from another direction: Why should there be no replacement for the rise and fall of a country?

But even so, as soon as I think of the name Nurhaci and the information from Marquis Na Huan, it is difficult to press down another nagging thought:

The substitute has been replaced, why is it Hulu again?

It's just a matter of a hundred years, but what is before us now is: Is this Japanese country really so rich?

"The Ming Dynasty's 40,000 taels of gold was said by this young man to be one and a half tons, and the output of the Japanese Golden Island is..."

Tomorrow was still thinking about the numbers on the paper, but Queen Ma over there breathed a sigh of relief and said:

"There are about two million taels of gold. If the ton mentioned is equal to gold and silver, then the silver would be more than sixty-two million taels."

"As well as the implication of the young man's words, there seems to be three silver mountains in Japan."

What is the concept of two million taels of gold? Tomorrow the emperor will still convert it, according to what he set in the eight-year edict...

A thousand coins combined with one tael of silver is one tael, and four coins with one tael of silver are one tael, then...

Empress Ma's voice was filled with a smile and she said calmly:

"The gold is worth 8 million gold, and the silver is worth 248 million gold."

"We can do the math!"

Tomorrow Zi, who was almost done, suddenly became a little unhappy.

Immediately, I was shocked by this number:

"Twenty-five million yuan... Now our Ming Dynasty's treasury and grain payment are both equal, and the total is probably only one-tenth or two of the Jinshan."

"This Japanese country... is obviously rich in gold, so it can wait for sea merchants to trade gold and silver, but why did it turn into a bandit to plunder the coast of our Great Ming?"

The Emperor of Ming Dynasty certainly understood it. After all, when the world was in chaos at the end of the Yuan Dynasty, he personally traveled to various places in Henan and Huaixi, and saw countless bandits.

Although many of them were forced into a desperate situation by the Hu Yuan, there were also many who relied on their large numbers to commit evil and plunder.

And this uneducated Japanese country undoubtedly belongs to the latter.

Therefore, an idea almost naturally popped up in the mind of the Emperor of Ming Dynasty:

Since one golden island can be equivalent to the financial tax of the Great Ming Dynasty for ten years, if it can be adopted by the Ming Dynasty...

However, this idea can only stay in his mind for the time being.

Not to mention that the Northern Yuan Dynasty has not been destroyed and the remnant Hu in Yunnan has not been cleared.

Just the fact that the Hu Yuan Dynasty was defeated in the war against Japan is enough to make Zhu Yuanzhang take it as a warning.

Moreover, he had heard that the Japanese island was in chaos, with the confrontation between the north and the south and the wars were endless. This was probably because there was little news about the Japanese pirates in recent years - they couldn't even beat them on their own island.

Therefore, what attitude to take towards the Japanese island was even more of a matter that needed to be considered. If one was not careful, the Japanese would fight against each other and defend the Ming Dynasty from outside, which would be a self-defeating move.

But... Zhu Yuanzhang felt relieved.

The richness of the Japanese island gave him a lot of room for maneuver.

In this way, even if he was busy pacifying the desert and pacifying Yunnan during the Hongwu period, he would have no time to take care of other things.

But when Biao'er, the Yongle Emperor, took over, the Japanese island would surely be pacified, and its gold and silver would create a prosperous era far beyond the Kaiyuan period.

Thinking of this, Zhu Yuanzhang was also happy to boast:

"We did not accept the tribute from the Japanese, and we did the right thing!"
