After five years of teaching support, Daming became an empire on which the sun never sets.

Chapter 111 Lu Chang, please run slowly
"Okay, very good!" Zhu Yuanzhang was overjoyed when he heard the words, "All these ministers of civil and military can understand our hearts and make money for us. It was not in vain that we wrote a night of writing, and even wrote a bald one. Pen."

"Lu Chang, send someone to receive it immediately, and temporarily put the money in the treasury of the Ministry of Housing."

"The old minister obeys the order!" Lu Chang was very excited.The officials who helped the emperor sell the characters came back one after another, adding another 7000 million taels of silver to the treasury, adding to the 5000 million last time, a total of 2000 million taels.

In other words, Zhu Yuanzhang made more than [-] million yuan for the court just by selling his characters!
Subtracting the 2000 million taels used to conquer Korea, provide disaster relief to Shandong, build water conservancy projects in various places, and encourage farming, there is still more than [-] million taels left in the treasury.

That's [-] silver!
Lu Chang had never seen so much silver in his life, and in the prosperous times of all dynasties, the treasury did not have so much silver.

Thinking about it makes me excited, and the old body does not tremble.

"Go slowly, your old arms and legs, be careful you fall." Zhu Yuanzhang reminded kindly.

"Also, why are you so excited? The [-] million taels of silver we earned from selling words belonged to the internal treasury and were temporarily placed in the treasury of your household, not your household's deposit. Lu Chang, remember. , your household is still a pauper."

"If you have the ability, collect more taxes yourself, don't worry about using the emperor."

"Old minister, remember." Lu Chang said.

Even though he was over 70, he ran out of Fengtian Temple all the way and directed the household staff to receive the money.

Soon, those civil and military officials who were in charge of selling characters went to Fengtian Hall to attend the court meeting before they had time to return home, because this was the will of Zhu Yuanzhang.One by one standing in the Fengtian Temple.

"You guys have done a good job and made a lot of money for us." Zhu Yuanzhang gave the crowd an innocuous verbal reward.

"It's all your majesty's strategizing, the ministers are just running errands." The ministers did not dare to take credit, and said one after another.

"Your Majesty." At this moment, Liu Bowen stood out of the train, "I just came back from the southwest and passed through three provinces in the southwest. I heard that Muying killed bandits in the southwest and did it very smoothly. It is estimated that within a month, he will die. It can complete the eradication of bandits. Moreover, there is no large-scale conquest and suppression, and the casualties of the civilians and the army are very few. Most of the bandits have accepted the court’s consolation and went down to serve the people.”

"After going down the mountain for the people, they immediately started farming, and the production in the three southwestern provinces recovered quickly."

"We also received news about this." Zhu Yuanzhang said.

"Your Majesty, Mu Ying's ability is so outstanding that the imperial court should reward him." Li Shanchang stepped forward and said, "It is a miracle to eliminate bandit troubles and resume production within a month. Just ask the officials in the DPRK, who can do it? at this point?"

"Therefore, I implore Your Majesty to make him a nobleman."

"Mu Ying is really a rare talent! The key is that he is still a military general, but he has shown such incredible talent in managing politics! I am really amazed by the minister." Hu Weiyong said.

Mu Ying is from Huaixi, so Li Shanchang and Hu Weiyong highly respect him.

"Mu Ying's contribution to the court, we should reward it." Zhu Yuanzhang said, "Let's pass on the decree and make him the Marquis of Zhennan!" In the early days of the Ming Dynasty, Mu Ying was only in his twenties because he was too young and did not have any titles.

"According to the order!"

"No!" Gao Qi stood out from the train and said, "Remember that Mu Ying's campaign against the bandits a month ago didn't make any progress, and countless veterans died, which cost the court a lot of money. How could it progress so quickly? ?"

"Indeed, the situation of the Southwest Bandit Suppression is changing so fast that it makes people suspicious." The officials said, "Could it be that there was an expert pointing him from behind? He was able to completely reverse the situation in a very short period of time? "

"The minister guessed that it should be the credit of Lu Xiu, he is a scholar." Wang Guangyang said.

"Your Majesty, General Mu sent someone to send back 10 taels of silver and [-] shi of grain, which he said would be handed over to the state treasury!" There will be more silver and food sent to the court."

"This child Mu Ying is smart since he was a child." Zhu Yuanzhang was even more satisfied when he heard the words. "Go on, let Mu Ying stop sending money and food here, and use all his seizures for people's livelihood."

"General Mu was ordered to suppress the bandits. Not only did he not ask the court for money and food, but he also sent money and food to the court?" The ministers were even more shocked when they heard this.

This is unprecedented! !
"Your Majesty!" Song Lian stood up and said, "General Mu is so great, there must be something wrong, please check it out."

"Could it be that Guangxi Pingzhang Luxiu gave him advice behind his back? No, he doesn't have the ability." Gao Qi said.

The achievements made by Mu Ying made the ministers a little unable to believe that it was true.

"There's nothing to check, and it's not that Lu Xiu is behind his back to give him advice." Zhu Yuanzhang said lightly, "The reason why Mu Ying has changed so much is that you suspect that there are experts behind him. It's us."

"Let's go down with a secret order, and the situation in the southwest will change immediately!"

"It turned out that His Majesty was pointing him from behind!" The ministers immediately put on a look of sudden realization.

"As soon as His Majesty's miraculous plan came out, the situation was immediately reversed, and he is truly a holy monarch!"

"Your Majesty is the first holy monarch of the ages!"

"Long live the emperor, long live!"

"Han Gaozu and Tang Taizong are not as wise and wise as the emperor."

In order to express their admiration for Zhu Yuanzhang, the ministers immediately bowed down and shouted long live.

Liu Bowen, Li Shanchang and others all knew in their hearts that Qin Yu was teaching him behind the scenes again, but they all pretended to be completely ignorant.

"It's just a little trick, nothing to worry about!" Zhu Yuanzhang said humbly, "We're a little tired today, so we'll retire early if we have something to do."

"Your Majesty, I still have Ben Qizuo!" Liu Bowen stood out of the train, and after thinking for a moment, Qi Zuo said, "When I came back, I passed by Guangxi Prefecture. I found that the officers and the bandits who went down the mountain were fighting together. Landlords, divide the land... Guangxi's landowners and gentry are about to be wiped out, their property and land have been confiscated, and their female relatives have married local people..."

"Yes, this is also one of our actions in the secret decree. Is there anything wrong?" Zhu Yuanzhang asked, "The landlords of the southwest do not respect Wanghua and fish the common people.

The rest of the ministers listened and fell silent.

I vaguely feel that Zhu Yuanzhang's move is somewhat wrong...

They also bought a lot of land in their hometown, plus they were all meritorious deeds for the founding of the country. When Zhu Yuanzhang discussed meritorious deeds, he also rewarded them with a lot of land... Land is a very important item in the awards of all dynasties and dynasties.

That is to say, after resigning from office, they are also landlords.
