Chapter 18 Rewards from the Emperors
To be honest, neither Zhu Di nor anyone else thought that Japanese pirates would be called "the biggest threat" by the video producer Su Qian.

Empress Xu asked suspiciously: "Shouldn't the biggest threat be Mongolia in the north?"

Zhu Di shook his head, expressing that he was not very clear,

"I don't know why. But this is the advice given to me by Su Shangshen. Presumably that pirate must have some unknown secret."

"Then what are you going to do, brother?"

"I still have to go north to Mongolia at least once, otherwise I won't be able to deal with Japanese pirates."

"There is an ocean between Wa Kingdom and my Ming Dynasty, so I'm afraid it's not easy to fight?"

Empress Xu's concerns are very reasonable.

One of the reasons why Zhu Yuanzhang chose to ban the sea at the beginning was that the Japanese pirates could not be completely wiped out, so he simply came up with a one-size-fits-all policy, "Slabs are not allowed to enter the sea", can't afford it, can't I hide it?

However, it turns out that this approach has neither the symptoms nor the root cause.

Because of the ban on the sea, the fishermen along the coast could no longer survive. In order to survive, they finally had to join the plundering team, which made the coast of Daming still full of wars.

The strategy of banning the sea is related to Zhu Yuanzhang's peasant background and his thinking that he valued farming more than trade. At the same time, he also wanted to avoid the so-called "piao" during the Tang Dynasty.

"I will build new weapons and warships, and I will definitely be able to take down Japan." Zhu Di looked very confident when he said this, because he was not fighting alone!
Empress Xu looked at the confident Zhu Di, with an obsessed look in her eyes, "Fourth brother said he could do it, so he can do it! However, I still hope that fourth brother will be more considerate and considerate of the common people."

"Hey, sister, don't worry, I got two amazing treasures from Su Shangshen! As long as these two things are popularized, the people of Ming Dynasty will no longer have to worry about food shortages!"

"Ah?!" Empress Xu covered her mouth after hearing this, and almost exclaimed, "Fourth brother, is what you said true?"

"It's absolutely true!" Zhu Di nodded heavily, and then said: "The matter is important, so don't say anything. I will take out the treasures after I return to the court, and then hand them over to Xia Yuanji, Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs. I believe he will be able to do it." Well done for the job.”

"The concubine understands, then let's go back to court!"

After Kangxi Emperor Xuan Ye woke up, he immediately ordered the ministers around him: "Order the Ministry of Industry to write a detailed forging process of ironware and cannons immediately, and it must be submitted to me in the morning tomorrow!"

The ministers didn't know why Xuan Ye wanted this thing all of a sudden, but they still respectfully agreed: "Hey!"

"Also, has Dai Zi been found?"

"Not yet found."

"Immediately notify all the localities, we must step up efforts to find Dai Zi for me! I will use him severely!"

Xuan Ye's words made everyone present feel jealous, and they all wondered in their hearts who is this "Dai Zi" who is so favored by His Majesty?

After Zhu Yuanzhang woke up, Zhu Di immediately knelt down in front of Zhu Yuanzhang with a "plop".

For the sake of the throne in history, there were many princes and grandchildren who killed with red eyes.

Although Zhu Yuanzhang is very kind to his relatives, the seriousness of "rebellion and usurpation" is no longer a simple word of family affection.

Zhu Yuanzhang stared at Zhu Di who was sweating profusely in front of him, but after a long time he sighed and said, "Starting tomorrow, you should study Confucian classics at home, reflect on yourself, and get rid of the hostility in your heart first."

Contrary to most expectations, Zhu Yuanzhang did not take severe measures against Zhu Di, but only confined him at home.

"Thank you, father!" Zhu Di quickly thanked him after escaping.

Zhu Biao stepped forward and helped Zhu Di, whose legs were weak, stand up again, and said to Zhu Yuanzhang, "Father, why don't I let my minister teach my fourth brother? I still have some experience in Confucianism."

Prince Zhu Biao's words made Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help feeling a pain in his heart, "Biao'er knows that his time is approaching, so he wants to let him go! My Biao'er is so sensible that it hurts my heart!"

Zhu Biao's words made Zhu Di feel extremely ashamed.

Among all the brothers, Zhu Di admires Zhu Biao the most.Zhu Biao was established as the prince by Zhu Yuanzhang back then, and Zhu Di was convinced and had no objection.

Now, the "Oracle" seems to reveal the information of Zhu Biao's early death, which inevitably makes some people have other thoughts in their hearts.

"Big brother."

"It's all my family, no problem."

These ten emperors who can be selected by the system into the [Top Ten Meritorious Emperors in History] naturally have no doubts about their executive power.

As soon as they returned to their real world, they began intensive preparations to exchange the treasures needed for the forging process, and at the same time, they were actively preparing for the next "exchange meeting" seven days later.

Li Shimin recruited four famous calligraphers and painters, Ouyang Xun, Yu Shinan, Chu Suiliang and Xue Ji, and asked each of them to make the best calligraphy and painting.

Although they didn't know what Li Shimin wanted to do, since the boss had spoken, the four of them would readily agree.

After receiving the four sets of calligraphy and painting and appreciating them carefully, Li Shimin smiled and said to Empress Changsun: "Guanyin maidservant, what do you think of these four sets of calligraphy and painting?"

"It's all done by the four calligraphers and painters, so it's naturally excellent."

Li Shimin asked again: "I want to offer something to Su Shangshen, what do you think is better?"

Mrs. Changsun thought for a while, and replied: "Shangshen Su is an existence beyond the mortal world, and he must despise simple gold and silver treasures. How about I present the set of glazed tea sets from the Western Regions that my concubine treasured to me?" Lord Su, right?"

Changsun's set of 'glazed glass' from the Western Regions is actually glass. Although it looks more crystal clear and more beautiful than the native colored glaze, it cannot change the fact that it is sand in essence.
If Su Qian knew about Changsun's kindness, he might want to beat someone.

"That's your favorite tea set! You don't want to use it once every day, so you really just give it away like this?"

"For the sake of the second brother, the concubine would even give up her life, let alone a mere glazed tea set?"

"Forget it, I still can't get this little thing out. The jade ruyi is actually pretty good."

Suqian soon received "rewards" from these ten emperors.

Moreover, they had a tacit understanding, and each of them gave Su Qian a tip separately.

Looking at the various "rewards" on the table, such as Yu Ruyi, Da Yuanbao, and Bronze Cauldron, the corners of Su Qian's mouth almost grinned to his ears.

But after being happy, Su Qian soon encountered difficulties again.

Although not all of these things are national treasures, they are at least very rare treasures.If he dared to take it out for money, the police would come to check the water meter in minutes.

At this time, the caring system spoke again,

[The system can convert the items rewarded by historical figures into money. Does the host need this service? 】

Although he was very reluctant to part with these good things, Su Qian, who owed a lot of debt, said helplessly, "How much can they be exchanged for?"

[After system evaluation, it can be exchanged for about 300 million soft sister coins. 】

"Only 300 million? That's an antique from various dynasties!"

[Rewarded items do not have historical value attached, and are only valued based on the material and workmanship. 】

Wouldn't that be a big loss?
Su Qian came to his senses. It turns out that the pit of system exchange is here.

But he can't exchange these things at all, so he can only recognize them.

But after all, it's still 300 million!

Su Qian has never seen so much money in his life. He earned so much with just one tip!

[Deducting the system commission, you can exchange 270 million soft sister coins. 】

Su Qian thought for a while and then asked, "When do I need to pay off my debts?"

[Just pay it off within 30 years. 】

"What if it's not up yet?"

[Just work on this platform all the time. 】

It seemed that there was no great danger, Su Qian replied: "Sure! Then I will keep the money first, and go have a good meal tonight!"
