I'm only seven years old, Lao Zhu, you let me supervise the country?

Chapter 274: Capital Price Rise!Zheng He lost contact?
After bidding farewell to Lao Zhu, Zhu Yunxi returned to the capital with a heavy heart.

As the crown prince, as the future emperor of Ming Dynasty, sometimes he has to be ruthless!

When Lao Zhu died, both in public and in private, he had to change to a new commander of the Imperial Guard.

This is not heartless.

But as a last resort!
It's just that when the time comes, give Jiang Yu a whole body and treat his family well.

……

Capital.

city ​​gate.

When Zhu Yunzhen returned, he found that there were more and more vendors on the street.

It was getting late, but the crowds on the street were still in an endless stream, extremely lively.

People in the capital gathered together in twos and threes, drinking tea, eating pies or pastries sold on the street, and chatting.

In front of the rice store, people lined up in long queues, waiting to buy.

As the saying goes, be prepared for danger in times of peace. Now that people have some money in their hands, they naturally want to stockpile more food at home.

in case the emergency.

This is also the simplest and simplest idea of ​​ordinary people.

Zhu Yunxi wanted to return directly to the palace, but when he passed by the rice shop, he couldn't help but stop and walked forward.

Asked: "What is the current price of rice?"

Everyone in Midian saw that Zhu Yunxuan was surrounded by many guards and must be a great nobleman, so they quickly replied.

"Back to your nobleman, the price of rice is now more expensive than before."

"One tael of silver can be exchanged for one stone and a half of grain."

Zhu Yunxi frowned.

Can't help asking: "Usual market price, one tael of silver can be exchanged for two stones of grain, not to mention that since the introduction of sweet potatoes, the price of grain has dropped a bit."

"Why is it so expensive now?"

The waiter at the rice shop smiled flatteringly.

Said: "I'm afraid the nobleman doesn't know much about the recent market situation."

"We are following Taisun's instructions, and the price increase is within a reasonable range. After all, the people in the entire capital are now buying grain in large quantities after they have money."

"No matter how much inventory there is, that's not enough."

"It is necessary to mobilize food from other places, and if it is urgent, it will cost more."

"That is to say, there are cement roads everywhere in Yingtian Mansion."

"The loss is much less, otherwise the food would be a bit more expensive."

Midian's Xiao Er explained clearly.

Even Zhu Yunxi couldn't find any faults, after all, what he said was the truth.

The prices of goods in the capital of the Ming Dynasty are indeed on the rise now!

And quite violent!

It's just because everyone has more money in their hands now, and they haven't particularly noticed it.

If it was changed to before, the sudden price increase was so much, I am afraid that the public has already been full of grievances, and everyone knows about it.

But now, every household has more money.

This price increase seems innocuous and does not attract much attention.

But Zhu Yunzhen was different. He naturally saw the hidden worries in this!Prices in the capital of the Ming Dynasty have risen, and the people have become rich, but the income of the people in the capital of the Ming Dynasty has not increased much!

After the savings of the common people in the capital of the Ming Dynasty are exhausted.

Rising prices are not directly proportional to income, and sooner or later there will be big troubles!

"After all, it's still due to insufficient products!"

The Ming Dynasty has been in peace for more than [-] years. Although there were many conquests during this period, it did not harm the country.

So now Daming's food reserves are still enough.

I won’t see you low for a while.

But if this continues, the Ming Dynasty's food production will not be able to keep up, and prices will not only rise a little!

At that time, the price of a stone of grain may be several times that of now!
Even more!

Zhu Yunzhen had to worry about this... But the good news is that Zhu Yunzhen already had a solution.

As long as Zheng He conquered the Japanese country and broke through the Japanese customs, Zhu Yunxi would have countless ways to invade the Japanese market and plunder their domestic raw materials and food wantonly!

At that time, Daming will no longer need to worry about the lack of food.

Even if there is still a shortage of food, everyone will not panic. Instead, they will continue to dump goods from neighboring countries and use low-priced goods in the Ming Dynasty in exchange for precious raw materials and food.

By repeating this process, Ming Dynasty will only become richer and richer, and its material resources will become richer and richer.

"All hope... lies with Zheng He!"

Although Zhu Yunxi had other tricks, it was the simplest and most direct way to transport grain back from the country of Wa.

Zhu Yunzhen could only hope that Zheng He would send good news as soon as possible.

But wait until Zhu Yunzhen returns to the palace.

The next day, there was a bad news!

The navy led by Zheng He has lost contact for a month!

No message came back!
And a month ago, the navy led by Zheng He had just arrived at the coast of the Wa Kingdom, preparing to break through the Wa Kingdom's maritime defenses!
Suddenly got the news.

Everyone panicked!The princes in the court are even more panicked! .

They were all worried whether Zheng He had suffered a defeat in the Wa Kingdom!

Otherwise, how could there be no news for a month?Judging by the days, Zheng He should have almost returned home by this time!

Could it be that something happened at sea?Encountered unprecedented storms?
Even the new army trained by Zheng He was not good at all, and the gold and jade were defeated and lost to the Japanese navy?

All of a sudden, all the bad-mouthing voices came out.

Some courtiers even suggested to Zhu Yunxi to close the customs again!Close the country!

Naturally, Zhu Yunzhen became furious immediately, dragged the man down and gave him fifty canes!Almost beaten to death!A few days after returning, news of his death came!

Even directly dismiss this person's descendants!The entire family Ming Dynasty will never be reused!

The officials were so frightened that no one dared to mention the matter again.

There is no doubt that it is his rebellion to propose to Zhu Yunxi to close the country!
In the following days, no one dared to mention Zheng He's incident.

He began to turn around and deal with the final touches on the Zhejiang Chengxuan Administrative Envoy case.

Cheng Qian, Xin Yan and other people who intervened in the case were all captured by the Jinyiwei. In the entire Zhejiang Chengxuan Political Envoy Department, there were more than a thousand officials from top to bottom, and no one escaped!

Perhaps it was because of Zheng He.

Zhu Yunzhen was not very happy these days, so he dealt with it very mercilessly.

Everything should be handled in accordance with the Ming Law!
Peel and fill grass!Beheaded for public display!It took three days just to behead these people!
Killed until the blood flowed all over the ground!The cement pavement and bluestone slabs were stained red!
But during this period, there was not no good news.

Perhaps because of the impact of the Zhejiang Chief Envoy case, land reform in other places suddenly progressed much more smoothly. Local officials no longer dared to be sneaky and made rapid progress.

After Wang Dun took office as the Chief Envoy of Zhejiang Province.

Soon a team was reorganized and the land reform was carried out, which is currently being carried out with great fanfare.

Only Zheng He...still no news...

Royal study.

Looking at the good news, Zhu Yunxi slowly put down the memorial.

Looking at the fallen leaves that are gradually approaching autumn.

Heart sigh.

"Zheng He, Zheng He...don't let me down!"

"You must come back smoothly!"

In the bottom of Zhu Yunyu's heart, he still believed in Zheng He's ability. The reason why he lost contact was probably due to some accident.

But he couldn't figure out what it was?
There are many storms at sea, but the Pacific Ocean is actually relatively calm.

Except for the annual typhoon season, most of the time, the Pacific Ocean is very peaceful, otherwise, it would not have received such a name.

But everything has surprises.

After all, the sea is no better than the land.

At the same time...Zhu Yunxi really couldn't find anyone who could replace Zheng He!

Zheng He, can't fail!Don't fail!
