SFS First Minister Section 538
First Minister Section 538
He thanked you again and again, then turned and left.
On the other side, Zhu Di also got a letter from a friend.
Zhang Shuning has run a bookstore, so he has experience in business. Facing the wave of grain companies, what should he do?
Zhang Shuning didn't say anything else, he just told Zhu Di that behind making a fortune, there are always risks. Be a little prepared.
It is best to get someone to come forward to build a few companies of their own and control some of the food. It doesn't take much, at least the power to negotiate prices must be guaranteed.
After Zhu Di read it, he couldn't help but shoot the case, he is still our good brother, this is for our sake!
Zhu Di immediately called Li Jinglong and Hua Wei in a hurry, and began to discuss this matter.
Father's permission, Mr. Zhang's suggestion, God-sent opportunity, how can we miss it!
Sure enough, it wasn't just businessmen who were interested in this matter. The whole of Beiping, with a little bit of strength, couldn't hold back and wanted a piece of the action.
"It seems that Mr.'s proposal was deliberated and deliberated for a long time. It was only brought out after we came over. It is to give us this prize!"
Old Zhu said with a smile.
Zhang Ximeng said with a smile: "It's not all, now everything is ready, there is one thing that needs to be decided by the lord."
"what's up?"
Zhang Ximeng said: "Now the remnants of the Yuan court have almost been expelled, and almost all the land in Monan has fallen into the hands of Daming. Zhu Wenzheng, Li Wenzhong and the others have worked hard these years. But such a large area, it is not just No one is left. The biggest one is Shanyang Wanhu, which the Mongols call, they are the descendants of the Genghis Khan brothers, and they are now under the management of the original Liao King Azashili."
Zhang Ximeng paused, and then said: "My lord, it is not impossible for the court to wipe out all of them without leaving any one behind. It's just that in such a huge place, there will definitely be people coming to survive. For a while, there is no way to get them from the Central Plains." To so many people, fill in the blanks. And manpower is precious, it seems that it is not good to waste it.”
When Zhang Ximeng said this, the answer was ready to come out, he needed to surrender the Liao king first!
Zhu Yuanzhang pondered for a while, then asked: "What is this about Aza, is he willing to surrender?"
Zhang Ximeng said: "He didn't run with Wang Baobao, he was at the opposite end of the spectrum, it's just that the conditions were not negotiated!"
"Conditions? What else does he want!"
Old Zhu chuckled, "In our name, give him an order that we make him the commander of Kaipingwei."
Zhang Ximeng was taken aback, "My lord, this man is the king of Liao after all! A commander, isn't he low?"
Zhu Yuanzhang smiled and said, "It's because he is the king of Liao that we give him the command. Other positions don't give him the same treatment! All right, Mr. Zhang, don't hesitate, we are more sure of this matter than you!"
Seeing Lao Zhu like this, Zhang Ximeng couldn't say anything, who made you the emperor!
Lao Zhu's edict was sent, and after a few days, he got a reply. Aza kept mumbling, not only was he the original king of Liao, but he also had many tribes in his hands, from Liaodong to Monan. Although his territory is only ten thousand households, in terms of it, there are more than one hundred thousand troops...
In a word, the official is too small.
When Lao Zhu received the reply, he had a sneer on his face, "Write another decree to him, this time it is Xifengkouqianhu! Let him roll over within ten days!"
Lower official position?
Your Majesty is not mistaken, is he?
Old Zhu smiled lightly: "Tell Lan Yu again, let him lead the troops out of Liaodong, Li Wenzhong lead the troops out of Liaoxi, Zhu Wenzheng go out of Kaiping, the three-way army, Li Ting to sweep the cave!"
Good guy, if you don't give me face, I'll beat you to shame!
Is this Zhu Yuanzhang's overbearing?
In this way, the three armies came out together, with a huge momentum, shaking the sky and the earth.
Twelve days later, King Azha of Liao, with a miserable face, bare upper body, carrying thorns, and carrying a list of books, came to see Lao Zhu to plead guilty.
"You made us wait for a long time!" Zhu Yuanzhang said quietly at the first sentence when they met.
Aza was so frightened that he was out of his wits, and quickly knelt down, "The foreign minister, the foreign minister is guilty!"
Old Zhu said: "There is no need to sin. If you are willing to surrender, you will avoid a military disaster, but it is two days late. You will be demoted to the people. I will give you a monthly salary of one hundred households!"
From King Liao to Hundred Households, the drop in treatment is outrageous!
But Aza did not dare to make any mistakes, and quickly kowtowed, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your mighty grace!"
7Chapter 16 The Grace of Queen Horse
"We let you fail to be a prince, do you have resentment in your heart?" Zhu Yuanzhang said lightly.
Azha hurriedly kowtowed, "The foreign ministers dare not, the foreign ministers only want to live and work, three meals a day is enough!"
Old Zhu hummed, and then said: "It's still sensible, you go for another trip and call all the main generals and leaders under your command. Those who are willing to come over, kowtow to us with you, and say a few words, The past is the past. Those who don't like to come... don't have to come, understand?"
"Understand! Understood!"
Aza quickly kowtowed, but Lao Zhu added, "If too few people come, you don't have to come back."
Good guy, it's not easy to be a hundred households!
Aza scrambled and scrambled, and retreated quickly. The pressure Zhu Yuanzhang put on him was too great. His Majesty the emperor is really not ordinary terror!
The reason why Lao Zhu is awe-inspiring is naturally not just that he is majestic and full of domineering aura.In Lao Zhu's hand, he is holding the most powerful country in the world!
Daming, which has been established for 11 years, already has the appearance of a behemoth.
In terms of land, almost all of the Han land, including Yanyun, has been restored. It can be said that the land is vast and the mountains and rivers are magnificent.
In terms of population, due to the appropriate policies and Zhang Ximeng’s efforts, the troubled times at the end of the Yuan Dynasty came to an early end, and the population loss was greatly reduced. At this moment, the Ming Dynasty’s household registration has approached 6000 million, almost reaching the level of the 26th year of Hongwu in history.
The huge land giant clan itself is a huge pressure.
And Daming, a giant beast, is not docile at all.
A few years ago, Zhu Yuanzhang waved his army, and within a month, he took over the land of Liaodong and swept away the Yuan army in Shenyang and other places.
Over the years, the measure that Da Ming has been pursuing has always been that if you don't fight, you will be killed with one blow.
The entire Yuan court power was almost wiped out, and Wang Baobao had retreated to Mobei.
For the Mongolian tribes in Monan, there are not many choices, or risk starvation to death, freezing to death, exhaustion, and beating to death, cross the desert, seek refuge with Wang Baobao, and continue to be a loyal minister of the Yuan Dynasty.Or just obediently submit to Daming's feet, honestly, and don't have other thoughts, otherwise once Da Ming's son, thunder is furious, it will bleed for thousands of miles!
Lan Yu, Zhu Wenzheng, Li Wenzhong, these generals are just like a group of heavenly soldiers and evil spirits. Anyway, in the eyes of the Mongols, they are not human.
Now the famous generals are coming out together, the momentum is huge, who dares to disobey the emperor's will?
This time it only took eight days, Azashili, and four people under his command, Tabin Timur, Haisanan Daxi, and Tulu Huchar, rushed to the place.
The last time the deadline was ten days, two days later, it changed from a thousand households to a hundred households. This time they didn't sleep at all, and rushed over without sleep.
"The foreign minister pays homage to His Majesty!"
Lao Zhu looked at the dusty people, and smiled on his face, "This time is not bad, we must reward and punish properly... Come, someone, bring the roast sheep up."
Not long after, someone carried a roasted golden and oily whole lamb to the middle of the hall.
Old Zhu smiled and said: "This is our Daming's method. Although they are all roasted mutton, but the spices are different, the taste is also somewhat different... You may wish to try it, which one is more appetizing?"
These people hastily thanked them, and when they reached the front of the roasted whole lamb, they hesitated for a while, but it was Aza's fault, after all, he was the king of Liao, so he cut off a piece and put it in his mouth.
"It's delicious, of course Daming's is more delicious!"
The remaining three people also followed his example and praised the delicious food together.
Zhu Yuanzhang saw it and laughed, "Since you are willing to eat this bowl of rice from Daming, we can't treat you badly... that Aza..."
"It's Azashili!" Azashili hurriedly reminded Lao Zhu.
Zhu Yuanzhang nodded, "Yes, you are now a hundred households, and we will not give you a promotion. Take your subordinates and let us enter Korea. Also, the remaining three will hold the title of general flag, you all listen Sapphire's dispatch. After making military exploits and returning victorious, we are promoting you!"
When the four of them heard this, they hurriedly bowed down, weeping with gratitude.
Emperor Zhu always counted on what he said, and if he entered Korea at this moment, wouldn't that be robbing people to make a fortune? What else is there to say!
To be able to get a promotion after coming back is simply a great grace of the emperor.
Aza turned around and commanded 3 soldiers, and the other three also collected a bunch of soldiers, the total number reached [-], and according to Lao Zhu's order, they all went to Lan Yu's command and obeyed orders.
Sapphire, who followed this group of things, didn't feel surprised at all.
"Li Wenzhong, do you know why His Majesty gave me these people?"
Li Wenzhong rolled his eyelids and ignored him.
Lan Yu said to herself: "That's because Your Majesty knows people well and knows my abilities very well. Only by entrusting these people to me can they exert their greatest value. Other than me, no one else can do it at all."
Li Wenzhong nodded vigorously, "I will never refute you when you say this... How wicked are you! Compared with you, we are all too honest!"
Lan Yu snorted angrily, and cursed angrily: "You are pedantic! You are so stupid! Let me ask you, is Gao Li really going to fight us to the death now?"
Li Wenzhong shook his head subconsciously, "Of course not, they are still willing to use troops against the Japanese pirates, but they just hoped that we would get rid of Xin Tun and his group."
Lan Yu nodded, "Then you said I have this extra team, how can I force Gao Li to take the bait?"
"Well, that's the use of soldiers! Send them to plunder all over the country, beat Goryeo to pain, scare them, and they will be obedient."
Lan Yu pursed her lips and said, "Li Wenzhong, your son is so old, he still hasn't made any progress in his skills! You are too brainless. Forget it, let me open your eyes! It is right to plunder, but we can't in the name of robbery."
Li Wenzhong was startled, "Could it be Mongolian? Jurchen?"
This time Sapphire really couldn't bear it anymore, she laughed so hard that she burst into tears.
"Naturally in the name of Xin Tun's subordinates!"
As soon as this remark came out, Li Wenzhong was also stunned for an instant.
It took him quite a while before he realized what a poisonous plan it was!
I don't know how Lan Yu learned it, and his lack of virtue is not enough to describe him.
In fact, the reason why Goryeo was afraid of Xin Tun was because they were afraid that what they advocated would spread throughout Goryeo. In that case, their family would be uprooted and there would be nothing left.
So, they wanted to get rid of Xin Tun.
But let's change our thinking, if Xin Tun's subordinates wantonly plundered and killed wantonly, without any kingly appearance, and became a group of living bandits, then they would lose all hearts and have nothing to fear.
Sapphire has used reverse thinking to the extreme.
By the way, it can also rob some military expenses... And even if the Goryeo gang found out, they probably wouldn't expose it, and they might even intentionally lose more and give it more ruthlessly.
Anyway, the unlucky ones are the common people of Korea, and the family business of the official lord is not only unscathed, but maybe it can be carried forward.
It's like Qin Shihuang having a family banquet... What a win!
The situation of these small countries was really understood by Sapphire.
With a wave of his hands, all the Mongolian tribes in Monan were settled, and Lao Zhu felt that there was no pressure at all. If he couldn't even deal with these things, how could he be the emperor of Ming Dynasty?
When Lao Zhu came here, in addition to visiting the statue of the Donkey Cart of the God of War on the Gaoliang River, he also wanted to see the Peking University Hall and the wool spinning factory in Kaiping City.
That's right, Lao Zhu at this moment is heading to Kaiping City in Shangdu.
Empress Ma followed in person. Strictly speaking, she was even more curious than Zhu Yuanzhang.
Naturally, there were also Zhu Di and Zhang Ximeng. Zhu Di did not sit in the same carriage with his parents, but squeezed into Zhang Ximeng's carriage.
"Sir, I dare say that the emperor father and the empress mother will be stunned and eye-opening when they see the situation of the factory."
Zhang Ximeng didn't doubt it, "King Yan, I'm thinking now, if you let His Majesty and the Empress enter from the back, the shock will be greater, or will it be more shocking from the front?"
Zhu Di was startled, and after a while, he understood what Zhang Ximeng meant.
Go in the back, that is the residence of the weavers, and the cafeteria... These days, Beiping has absorbed many Koreans, and there are also thousands of prisoners, such as three aunts and six wives.
They are the main force of the weavers. They are used for food, clothing and flowers. I don't need to say more about the situation.
Compared with their residence, the cowshed is clean and tidy.The horses are better fed than they are.
Faced with such a group of kneeling mules and horses, it will definitely open the eyes of Lao Zhu and Queen Ma.
Thinking of this, Zhu Di quickly shook his head, "No, absolutely not. I've been hit by the board a few times, and it's a trivial matter for my butt to bloom. But if the father and the queen, just give me a favor, and don't allow me to do this, our workshop will have no advantage All in all, I can be beaten, I can die, but I can’t lose money!”
Zhang Ximeng nodded, "Sure enough, I'm so enlightened! I'm not mistaken!"
They arrived at Kaiping City together.
The original Kaiping City was not tall, and there were not many buildings inside, mainly tents.
When Daming regained control of this place, a storehouse for buying wool was built here, and a wool spinning factory was later established.
It can be said that the whole city is built around the factory.
The first thing Zhu Yuanzhang and Empress Ma saw was the huge factory area with dense buildings, which can be called magnificent.And in the building, there are rows of looms that can't be seen at a glance.
The processed wool is sent in, and a loom can weave 64 wool threads at the same time... It looks like running water, and it comes out in a rush.
Empress Ma couldn't help being terrified when she saw it.
