Chapter 215 Thunderstorm (6)

Mu Chun reported that Meng Yang Xuanwei and Myanmar Xuanwei were fighting!

The old man talked about state affairs with Zhu Yunxiu, and everyone was far away, and there were only two of them on the table.

These chieftains, hum! The old man sneered, "On the surface, surrendered to our great light, and secretly called the king. In the place where the blind is big, I want to make a king come out!"

Outside Yunnan, Myanmar, Laos and other places, since the Bagan Dynasty destroyed the former Yuan Dynasty, several powerful chieftains have been competing for the supreme rule of these places.

Zhu Yunxiu pondered for a moment and asked, Grandpa, who did they win?

It's all half a dozen, and I can't measure it for a while! The old man said.

It is a good thing for the Ming Dynasty when they fight! Zhu Yunxi smiled and said, "Let's fight and we watch the show." No matter who can't hold on, they will definitely ask for help from our Ming Dynasty. Our Ming Dynasty is stubborn and will not let anyone lose, nor will they win!"

We think so too! The old man smiled and it would be better for them to fight every year, for decades, and to beat them a little bit!

Zhu Yunxiu looked at the old man and said solemnly that he didn't have to wait for decades. Since they started fighting, they couldn't stop them. When they were tired of fighting and their strength was weak, the Ming Dynasty was just about to change its territory and return to the current situation, and it would be abolished forever!

Hum? The old man's eyes suddenly became sharp.

There are many chieftains in the southwest border. If the land does not change and return to the flow, it may be a danger to the Ming Dynasty in the future! Zhu Yunxiu continued to say seriously.

Zhu Yunyu was not very clear about the history of these southwestern countries. However, he still knew a little about the war chaos in the southwestern that lasted for more than 200 years of the Ming Dynasty.

Not to mention the later conquests during the Jiajing and Wanli periods.

During the Zhengtong period alone, in order to ensure the rule of the southwest, the Ming Dynasty conducted four expeditions on Luchuan.

During these four expeditions, the Ming Dynasty launched several consecutive battles of more than 100,000 people, but under the influence of factors such as the terrain and weather in the southwest, the Ming army failed to achieve full results and even suffered defeat.

Several battles of more than 100,000 people lasted for nearly ten years. They caused huge depletion on the national strength of the Ming Dynasty, causing national strength to decline, and even more because of the draw of elite combat, the north's defense against the Oirat was empty.

It can even be said that if it weren't for the Zhengtong period, the Tumu Fort's change would not have been able to lose so badly.

What does it mean to change the land and return to the current? The old man pondered.

The waste chieftain was appointed, and the power was taken over to the central government. Zhu Yunxiu opened his mouth. The weather in the southwest was hot, there were many mountains and forests, and there were changes in the foreign people. Only by changing the land and returning to the flow could we maintain long-term stability!

If not, once the chieftains of the Southwest Xuanwei Division had a strange intention, the royal army would have to spend countless money to fight. The battle in the southwest was far more dangerous than the grasslands in the north of the desert. Among the 100,000 troops, half of them were often lost before the battle was lost due to the lack of adaptation to the local environment, insect diseases, etc.

You thought far enough! The old man picked up the wine glass and thought about it, but once the land is changed, the chieftain will rebel! You also said that the southwest border is beyond the reach. If we fight, we are not worth it. But if we sit there and watch the chieftain have great power, it will be even more troublesome to resist the court in the future!

Grandpa, it’s better to summon Mu Chun, Yunnan to Beijing to report! Zhu Yunxiu said, first ask them what these border generals mean!

Well, okay! The old man nodded and said, "You can issue an order and call him!" Let him bring some younger brothers, and we have never seen a few of Mu Ying's sons!

Grandpa Huang, if you really attack the southwest, the national treasury...?

Zhu Yunxi asked tentatively, "It is important to know that in the battle of Goryeo, a large army of 200,000 was launched, and countless civilians were countless. For the time being, these expenses would not be enough even if Goryeo scraped three feet into the ground."

The national treasury is still abundant, and the Jiangnan summer taxes and even the capital! The old man smiled slightly. After your tax law was promulgated, we killed many big Jiangnan households, and now we are paying taxes obediently!

Speaking of this, the old man laughed and scolded, but he didn't know if he didn't collect it. He was shocked. The merchants in Jiangnan were so rich, and now they have to pay for a few years. Moreover, what the merchants paid were not miscellaneous grains, rice and beans. They were all silk, cotton cloth, and real money!

Moreover, this commercial tax is still very simplistic! Zhu Yunxiu smiled and said, as long as they do business, they have to pay taxes, city gate tax, canal tax, and customs tax. The better the future, the more they pay, the continuous......

As he said that, Zhu Yunxiu stood up as if he was stepped on his tail.

Grandpa, grandson dare not!

Not only was he startled, but the people in the palace were all shocked.

The old man actually brought a wine pot and poured a glass of wine for Zhu Yun!

Not to mention the emperor and the crown prince, even ordinary people have no reason to pour wine for their grandfathers to their grandsons. What they have never heard of, what they have never seen, what they have strange talks in the world! How can this be between the ruler, minister, father and son?

Sit! The old man smiled and said, "We don't have so many rules!" As he said, look at Zhu Yunxiu and said, "Grandpa will pour you this glass of wine." This is a reward for you!"

Your methods have benefited a lot from our Ming Dynasty!

Grandson dared not! Zhu Yunxiu bowed his head and said, Grandpa is so kind, grandson is frightened!

Get up, why are you pretending to us? There is no outsider here! The old man smiled and pushed the wine cup over and drank it!

Zhu Yunxiu was surprised and held the cup in both hands and drank it all in one go.

The post office changed postage, cast silver coins, and collected commercial taxes, so that our Ming Dynasty no longer scattered the suffering of the people and no longer planned to live. You should regard this glass of wine! The old man smiled and said, "You are better than your father and you are better than us!"

Grandson dared not! Zhu Yunxiu lowered his head and said.

Although he pretended to be terrified, he was actually a little proud.

Along the way, I have changed some of the chronic diseases of this ancient country. It has laid the foundation for the real implementation of commercialism in the future.

Later generations always lamented why the commercialist Ming Dynasty was defeated by the barbarians. Why did business flourish but in the end the treasury was gone and all the treasury was gone and they were poor and poor.

It is true that commercialism has sprouted, but the Ming Dynasty did not have the soil that can sprout and grow commercialism.

Collusion between officials and businessmen, seeking personal gain. They enrich individuals and harm the country.

In the final analysis, the Ming Dynasty did not guide this kind of commercialism, and did not pay attention to it, nor provided convenience for its development, nor did it have any constraints or management.

Postal service, clear roadway.

Silver coins are convenient for trading.

Commercial tax, sufficient treasury, and restrict officials and businessmen.

In the future, we will have relevant taxes, open good harbors and cancel the ban on sea. We will never make a fortune by relying on farming. Although we have a long way to go in the future, at least we have good foundations and conditions now.

Now the national treasury can provide 300,000 troops with a total of two years of war. If the autumn tax and salt tax are collected by the end of the year, even if the army is 500,000, and the battle lasts for three or five years, the court will not have any worries about money and food!

The old man continued, however, it is easy to spend money and difficult to save money. Don’t be proud of yourself, and you want to use a knife when you see anyone. In that case, even if you have a gold medal, it will not be enough for you to harm you!

The grandson keeps in mind the teachings of the emperor’s grandfather! Zhu Yunxiu said.

By the way! The old man smiled again and said, "You said that the copper mine of Goryeo, let the Ministry of Works go to see it. Hehe, it's really a damn golden mountain! The small country of foreign countries is not without fun!"

Goryeo fought, but how to manage it, many things are subject to the emperor's sage! Zhu Yunxiu thought for a while and said, "Grandson, how many simple opinions do you have?"

Let’s hear it! The old man picked up a chopstick of vegetables and said as he ate them.

Suppose that Goryeo is building a province, and it is necessary to promote the imperial examinations first, select poor students, serve as officials of Goryeo, and serve the Ming Dynasty! Zhu Yunsheng said that these people were originally under the suppression of the Goryeo clan, and had no chance to make a name for themselves. My Ming Dynasty gave them a future, and they would definitely be loyal to the Ming Dynasty and be grateful!

But! The old man nodded and said, "The great families cannot use it, they have too many minds." Not only should Goryeo hold an imperial examination, but they should also choose more materials. This way, this year's autumn examination, Goryeo will also hold a question. Is it simpler? Be sure to let Goryeo scholars bathe in the grace of heaven!

Grandpa Emperor’s wise!

The old man said this, just to build a province and there will be no trouble.

In addition, although Goryeo is small, there are several important towns that can be regarded as northern! Zhu Yunxiu looked at the old man's face. In order to make a long-term peace, his grandson wanted to invite the emperor's grandfather and the royal family to vassal Goryeo!
