Daming Greedy Wolf Star

Chapter 520 Wanting to Destroy It

The news that the Ming army had won another victory in the European battlefield spread quickly. Logically speaking, this was a good thing, but the reaction of almost the entire people of Shuntian Prefecture was not right.

Instead of cheering for victory, they were filled with worries about the future.

Because along with this news, there was another news.

On the land where Prince Wu sent people to bring back new grain, the ocean-going fleet discovered a lot of new crops, and has brought some back for sowing, and will continue to follow up.

This was originally a good thing, but I don't know how the news spread. It was passed around, and finally it came out that the ocean-going treasure fleet fought a battle with the aborigines there and then brought the seeds back.

So people quickly thought that after Europe, the land where new grains were discovered might be Zhu Zhanhe's next target.

War, war again.

Since the lineage of King Wu took control of the Ming Dynasty, the people of the Central Plains have been worried about whether their husbands, sons and fathers will go to the battlefield. As these two news spread, people's worries became more intense.

……

Shuntian Mansion, Prince Wu's Mansion.

"I have lived for more than half my life, and I have never seen anyone who destroys his reputation. I thought I would never see him in my lifetime, but I didn't expect to see him now."

"What I didn't expect was that the person who destroyed his reputation turned out to be my son, and this wasn't the first time."

As he spoke, Zhu Gaoxu looked at his son suspiciously.

"Do you have any eccentricities? After you came back from Beizheng with your grandfather, you built temples everywhere, ruining your reputation."

"It's good now, but you still take the initiative to let people go out to spread news and ruin your reputation. What are you trying to do?"

"What am I trying to do? Of course I'm trying to solve the problem as soon as possible." Zhu Zhanhe waved his hand nonchalantly.

"I told you a long time ago that when I accompanied my grandfather on the northern expedition, I strongly opposed everyone's opinions and suggested that my grandfather kill the prisoners and build a temple in Beijing to avoid future troubles."

"This is very different from those Cheng, Zhu and Furu. It allows the people of the Ming Dynasty to see the light and the hope that they will no longer be bullied by the northern grasslands."

"At that time, everyone believed me to be the truth, and Cheng-Zhu Neo-Confucianism was gradually weakening."

"But again, when a ray of light appears in the darkness, everyone is singing the praises of this light, because they have lived in darkness before and know best how precious this light is."

"But as time went by, they began to feel that the light was too dazzling, and they began to feel that the light made them unbearably hot, so they began to spurn anything that was not in line with their wishes."

"If you want these people to wake up, you can only plunge them into endless darkness again, let them know how precious the light was, and let them know what they will face after losing the light. Life."

"So..." Looking at his confident son, Zhu Gaoxu had a bad premonition in his heart.

"So, I want this light to disappear from their lives, let them recognize the truth, and let them kneel down and cry and beg me to bring this light back."

……

Zhu Gaoxu looked at his son and didn't know what to say for a moment.

He just thought his son was crazy.

……

As the news spread, the public opinion in Shuntian Mansion became louder and louder, and people's confidence seemed to be increased by some unknown force, and there began to be a weak voice.

In the palace, Sun Ruowei looked confused. She didn't know what Zhu Zhanhe was doing and why he allowed such remarks to become more and more serious.

Similarly, Chen Xun and others did not understand, but their incomprehension was different from Sun Ruowei's. They felt they did not understand because they knew the facts.

Wan'an Street, Chen's House.

Chen Xun also didn't expect that this mansion that Zhu Zhanhe once rewarded him but he didn't really want it would now become an important place for them to discuss matters.

"Do you know everything?" Looking at the people in front of him, Chen Xun said with a bit of exhaustion but also a bit of relief.

When everyone heard the words, they fell silent.

Zhu Zhanhe's plan was something that no one had ever thought of, because basically anyone who is a normal person would not choose to retreat in order to advance when they are just one step away.

Although doing this can obtain something that King Wu's lineage has never obtained in the most orthodox way, the risk is too high.

"Do you really want to leave?" Hu Hui asked, with a bitter look on his face.

"Although His Royal Highness should understand, I still want to say that once I leave like this, I don't know when I will come back."

"I don't agree that the Queen Mother can train His Majesty well, but this cycle is too long, and the foundation His Royal Highness has left for Ming Dynasty is too solid."

"Now that things have happened, I am no longer afraid. To put it bluntly, even if you are a foolish king, it is enough to squander more than ten years or even decades."

……

Hu Hui's bold statement left everyone speechless, but they had to admit that Hu Hui was right.

How strong is the current daimyo?Many people don't have a concept.

Let's put it this way, Wenjing Zhizhi knows it all, right?
"Historical Records Pinghuai Shu" records: The capital's money accumulated to a huge amount, which was rotten and could not be corrected; the millet in Taicang was overflowing and accumulated outside, so that it became rotten and inedible.

The general meaning is that the copper coins in the treasury have accumulated so much that the ropes threaded through them have rotted. The grain in the warehouse has accumulated year after year, and it has even become rotten and cannot be used.

It’s not clear whether there is any exaggeration here, but it can be regarded as representing the peak period of internal governance in the history of flower growers.

Today's Ming Dynasty is not as good as the Han Dynasty back then, but the food in the treasury is getting more and more every year, and the silver deposits are also getting more and more every year. It can be said that it is moving in that direction.

This was not obtained out of thin air. It was obtained by Zhu Zhanhe going out to fight for eighteen years and stabilizing the surrounding areas of the Ming Dynasty without using any soldiers, silver or grain of the Ming Dynasty.

Because of the new grain, although the Ming Dynasty's food consumption is also increasing due to the increase in the new population, it is generally slightly affluent. However, this is about the people, and the treasury does not care about this.

Due to the reform of the tax system, the tax system of the Ming Dynasty was much simpler than before. Nowadays, the grain output is relatively rich. In addition, the tax revenue is more stable.

I have an income myself, and I also saved a lot of money in the past ten years...

When Chen Xun and others thought about it, it seemed that this was really the case.

Judging from the current situation of the Ming Dynasty, as long as his hometown is not looted or a large-scale and long-lasting natural disaster occurs, even if he is a fool, his family wealth will be enough for him to squander it for decades.

"It's no use thinking about this anymore." Chen Xun sighed, feeling helpless.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has made a decision. This matter is beyond our control. The question that we need to consider now is whether to stay or follow His Highness the Crown Prince."

As soon as Chen Xun said this, everyone fell silent.

Sometimes, silence means having nothing to say, but sometimes, silence can also mean acquiescence.

only……

"I...stay." Yu Qian said, surprising everyone.
