Daming: I was exposed by Zhu Di's Sims life!

Chapter 226 Zhu Gaoxuan: That's right, I'm a bandit!

Zhang Fu asked suspiciously: "Since this is the case, why do you have to mention the Southern Expedition again?"

Xia Yuanji didn't quite understand either, he looked at King Qi, wondering if this Prince Qi was making fun of his old father-in-law?

Zhu Gaoxuan said calmly: "Your Majesty certainly has no intention of going south in the near future. You also know that His Majesty has always focused on the enemy in the north, not the south. However, I think that the benefits of the southern conquest are ten times that of the northern conquest, and even It is a hundred times."

Yang Rong, who had been on the sidelines, couldn't help asking: "What does the prince mean by this? The land in the far south has always been barren, so what benefits can there be?"

Zhu Gaoxuan said lightly: "When I led the troops to conquer Nuer Gandusi, they also told me that the conquest of the Northeast has disadvantages rather than benefits. Now Jianzhou Province in the Northeast is not developing rapidly as usual, and it is about to become the richest province in Ming Dynasty. Is it one of the provinces?"

When he announced that he would use troops against Nuer Gandusi, many people murmured openly and secretly. In their stereotypes, they believed that the Northeast was a poor and cold barbarian land, full of frost and snow wilderness, A grain of millet cannot grow, and a group of primitive people live by hunting for a living.They called the Jurchens in the north of Nuergandusi "savages".

They didn't understand why King Qi wanted to use troops on that area, even if he knocked down the Northeast, what would he gain?
However, today's Jianzhou Province has become more and more prosperous. Facts have proved that the fertile black soil is extremely suitable for planting, the water of the Songhua River is as clear as a mirror, and the Northeast has abundant mineral resources. Powerful, it has now become a paradise for Ming people.

The tax revenue of Jianzhou Province this year has already ranked among the top tax revenues of all provinces in Ming Dynasty, and this number will continue to rise.

"I can tell you clearly that the southwest area is more suitable for farming than Jianzhou."

Zhu Gaoxuan really didn't know about this, he didn't put his mind on the cabinet, the current cabinet is the official office of Prince Qi's mansion, so he doesn't need to worry about it at all.

Yang Shiqi couldn't help being shocked, and took a few steps back, panting heavily, almost suffocating.

Not every cabinet minister will be called "Ge Lao".

In the Ming Empire in the east, there were two bandit leaders.

- Said Dynasty.

Yang Shiqi nodded, and didn't sit down in a hurry, but walked around the study leisurely, looking around at the decorations in the room.

I robbed your labor force, let you reduce the population pressure, one less mouth, one more bowl of rice, rounding it up means Daming is saving you!

King Qi's handwriting is indeed rare.

Yang Shiqi laughed at himself and said: "Speaking of it, I'm not afraid of being laughed at. Yang is now working in the Procuratorate."

Yang Shiqi saw a picture of characters spread on the desk. The paper was thick Jingxian Xuan paper, made of green sandalwood bark and Shatian straw, which was soft and smooth like jade.The ink used is also high-quality, bright and bright, exuding a faint fragrance.

So Tianzhu is a magical country with such a large population, but they are repeatedly beaten by people riding on their crotches and holding their heads.

Holding a wine glass, Zhu Gaoxuan said unhurriedly, "In Jianzhou, apart from farming, we are still developing mining and military industries. In the southwest, it is simply a god-sent granary. If we can destroy the southwestern countries and domesticate them, the grain of Ming The crisis will be completely resolved. We have no shortage of silver or army. After destroying the Wa Kingdom, Ming Dynasty solved the problem of silver. After destroying Koryo and Jianzhou, Daming solved the problem of military industry. After the destruction of the southwestern countries, the final food crisis will also be resolved."

"You mean, labor?"

Yang Shiqi smiled wryly and said: "Who am I, Mr. Yang? In Daming's cabinet, only Yang Rong can afford the word 'Ge Lao'. What's more, I have already retired from the cabinet."

Zhu Gaoxuan fell into silence.

Yang Rong said, "Even if the Southwest is really suitable for planting as the prince thinks, it is a natural granary, but farming requires a population. How many natives can there be in the Southwest? Has that much land been planted?"

Suddenly he felt a hand on his shoulder, making Yang Shiqi think that there was a real ghost crawling out of the paper, and he was about to shout out in shock.

The most striking thing is the line written on the paper.

Gelao refers to the official Zhongshusheren of the two provinces of the Tang Dynasty and the servants under the door. Li Tang used the Zhongshusheren as the Gelao who was in charge of the affairs of the Zhongshu Province and exercised the power of the prime minister.

Generally speaking, the style of King Qi's study is very simple and capable. A person like King Qi actually doesn't care about material enjoyment anymore, he cares more about spiritual abundance.

Xiao Li pointed to the food and wine on the table, and said, "My lord asked us to prepare some food and wine for you. You can eat and drink first, and I won't bother you."

King Qi is a martial artist, and he is so young, can he write the calligraphy of such a great master in the calligraphy world?

Tianzhu is a magical country. People in the Central Plains used to call it Tianzhu, or "Shendu" or "India", but its official name in the local area is "Delhi Sultanate".

You, still not grateful?

In the early Ming Dynasty, the cabinet was only a secretarial body for the emperor to consult and draft edicts. It had no decision-making power and was the emperor's tools.It was not until the middle of the Ming Dynasty that the cabinet ministers were generally called "Ge Lao".

This is a country with a large population, the total population is second only to the Ming Empire, but surprisingly, the national strength of this country seems to be unsatisfactory.

The gentle voice brought Yang Shiqi back to his senses, and he realized that King Qi had already stood behind him at some point.

"Mr. Yang, the prince asked you to wait for him here in the study. My prince will be there later."

……

What surprised Yang Shiqi even more was that King Qi's calligraphy seemed to have found a new path, completely different from the ancients' calligraphy, and even had the strength to establish a school.

Here the Timurids established the fourth dynasty of the Delhi Sultanate.

……

The pen is so powerful that it has even soaked through the thick rice paper and penetrated into the desk. This situation should have lasted for a long time. Every time I write, it almost soaks through the wooden desk, causing the log-colored desk to be dyed black. ink color.

Although the population is large, due to the continuous drought, famine and other natural disasters, Tianzhu's national power has sunk to the west, fell to the bottom, and was destroyed by the Timurid Empire.

"My lord, have you ever thought about the problem of population?"

Those who can establish sects are all at the level of immortals. Yang Shiqi knows how much he weighs, and it is too late to admire him, so how dare he compare?
Zhu Gaoxuan said: "Mr. Yang Ge is modest."

Yang Shiqi quickly said: "Where, where, Wang Ye's calligraphy attainments have far surpassed mine, and there are few people in the world who can compare with Wang Ye. The murderous look between the lines is rare in ancient and modern times."

Zhu Gaoyi walked to the desk, rolled up the handwriting, and said: "The handwriting was written casually, and I forgot to be cleaned up when I left."

Zhu Gaoxuan smiled and said: "That's natural. I have been practicing calligraphy hard these years, writing whenever I have nothing to do, and I feel that my writing skills have greatly improved, but in front of everyone like Mr. Yang Ge, I am a bit out of line."

Zhu Gaoxuan smiled mysteriously when he heard the words: "Yang Rong, have you ever heard that there is a country in the east of the southwest called 'Tianzhu'?"

The ink on the paper is still a little wet, it seems that Prince Qi went to the banquet after finishing writing, it just didn't take long.

Perhaps it is not as good as Zhong Wang's ink painting like a fairy, but it is also unique and finds a different way.

Yang Shiqi said: "The Metropolitan Procuratorate is very good, but I am not doing well. I am currently the secretary of the Metropolitan Procuratorate. Does the lord know the official Siwu?"

Zhu Gaoxuan was a little puzzled: "The Metropolitan Procuratorate is in charge of the power of the constitution, and together with the six ministries, it is called the 'Seven Ministries', not to mention the Beijing officials of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, who would dare to make a joke?"

Yang Shiqi hurriedly asked: "Is this written by you, my lord?"

A bandit leader named Zhu Di stole his nephew's land and land, and became the new talker of the Ming Empire.

He was a little skeptical that this painting could make people feel like they were on the scene, and it needed not only super-class skills, but also an artistic conception that had gone through the world.

An old bandit named Zhu Di gave birth to a little bandit, and the leader of the little bandit was Zhu Gaoxuan. For a bandit leader of his stature, what he wanted to rob was not a certain street or a certain mountain. If he wanted to rob, he robbed a country resources to enrich the national strength of the Ming Empire.

Today's Yang Rong, under the support of Prince Qi's Mansion, monopolizes the power of the cabinet, and the rest of the cabinet ministers have all become mascots who make up the numbers, so they are called "Ge Lao".The remaining cabinet ministers are not qualified to be called elders.

There is no food, no land suitable for planting, and no powerful army, but they have a shocking population of more than 5000 million.

"May I ask where Mr. Yang works now?" Zhu Gaoxuan asked.

His calligraphy is domineering and slaughtering, without the spirit of a literati. Perhaps only Xin Qiji and Yue Fei of the former Song Dynasty can write such calligraphy.

Yang Shiqi's eyes were drawn to this word, he saw the oncoming evil spirit, and heard the trampling sound of tens of thousands of galloping horses on the battlefield, as well as the sound of clashing swords and the roar of soldiers, covering the deep black sky. The clouds and waves were churning, and there was a trembling roar!

And now, Zhu Gaoxuan is eyeing the population of the Delhi Sultanate.

Where has a literati like Yang Shiqi seen such a scene before? He saw such a terrifying aura from a line of writing. He even felt that there was a layer of blood mist floating on the black handwriting, and there were tens of thousands of blood in it. The heroic spirits and evil spirits entangled and fought together.

Zhu Gaoxuan: The Timurids robbed the ruling power of your country. I just want to rob you of the labor force of millions of people. Isn’t it too much?

"Oh, Mr. Yang is not in the cabinet now?"

"I spend my days in vain singing, flying high and domineeringly."

"Ah."

"Relax, it's just a word."

Yang Shiqi smiled and said: "It seems that the prince knows."

Of course Zhu Gaoxuan knew that the full name of the Secretary of the Metropolitan Procuratorate was "Secretary of the Department of Affairs of the Metropolitan Procuratorate", which was ranked in the ninth rank.

From the ninth rank, if you drop by half a level, you will be in vain.

Yang Shiqi clasped his fists and said: "To be honest, Yang came here just to ask for an errand from the prince!"
