Great Emperor's Grandson of Ming Dynasty

Chapter 173 Good news 173
The entire hall fell silent.

[Is this still the gentle and elegant prince we once knew? ? ? 】

This question couldn't help but arise in everyone's mind.

Especially veterans like Li Shanchang.

They had never thought in their lives that the prince would say such a thing one day.

Even the prince's cronies now have expressions of astonishment on their faces.

It was as if he could no longer recognize the person in front of him.

Only Zhu Yuanzhang not only remained calm, but even had a little bit of relief in his expression.

"But killing a minister of a country without authorization will probably cause dissatisfaction among the local gentry, right?"

After a long time, Li Shanchang finally stood up helplessly.

He actually didn't want to wade into this troubled waters, but in the face of repeated hints from the ministers, he still couldn't survive alone.

This is also the key to the whole incident.

Because no matter which dynasty they were in, the gentry were the key to the emperor's rule.

The more entrenched a gentry family is, the greater its influence on the political power will be.

"Then the Korean public, do you still remember how the first emperor dealt with those disobedient gentry?"

"In terms of deep roots, can a few Goryeo aristocratic families be as powerful as the remnants of the Six Kingdoms?"

But as soon as he finished speaking, the prince sneered again.

And the meaning behind his words is to compare Zhu Yuanzhang to the existence of Qin Shihuang.

"."

The whole hall was silent.

Although they still felt that something was wrong, facing the power of Zhu Biao and Zhu Yuanzhang, the ministers finally did not dare to make any remarks to punish Zhu Congxin.

Seeing his son calm down these ministers with just a few words, Zhu Yuanzhang finally burst into laughter.

"Okay. Let's stop this matter for now. Instead of talking about the small things here, everyone should think about how to take down Korea without any surprises. We have no patience to play the tricks of the suzerain vassal!"

The hall buzzed again.

Many people were speechless and confused about this sudden order.

Because from the beginning, they never thought that Ming Dynasty would one day swallow Korea.

Suddenly, they seemed to feel a sense of urgency.

It was as if he could no longer keep up with the times, or it could be said that it was the emperor's thoughts.

And just when the entire hall was busy, a panicked figure suddenly rushed over from a distance like lightning.

"Your Majesty! Your Majesty! There is a letter from Liaodong! It is an urgent report! It also contains a memorial from the young master!"

The person coming was none other than Nie He.

The reason why Zhu Di sent the letter to the Prince of Qin's Mansion was precisely to highlight Zhu Congxin's contribution.

"Read it! Read it to me immediately!"

Knowing that it must be good news, Zhu Yuanzhang quickly stood up and ordered loudly. "Yes! The servant takes orders!"

Nie He quickly responded.

Then, he cleared his throat and unhurriedly opened his master's memorial in front of the civil and military officials of the court.

"Grandpa Huang. By the time you see this envelope, your grandson should have already taken over Kaicheng."

"This letter from my grandson is just to inform my grandpa that my grandson has found the kind of grain that can produce a thousand kilograms per acre and is on the way to return to his country."

"Besides that, the grandson also got a vegetable called tomatoes, and a seasoning called chili peppers."

"Although these two items are not as precious as potatoes and corn, they can greatly enrich the food of the people of Ming Dynasty."

"Of course, in line with the principle that thieves do not leave empty-handed, Sun'er also took over the border troops of Korea on his own initiative. Now, including the five thousand elite soldiers lent to me by my fourth uncle, Sun'er already has in his hands Create a force that can sweep across the entire Goryeo."

"So, there is no need to discuss the matter of sending troops to attack Goryeo."

"Next, Grandpa just needs to send some capable civil servants over."

"My grandson has only one request, that is, the visitor must understand the 26-character pinyin method. Because my grandson has decided to promote Chinese characters and Chinese language throughout Goryeo. In this way, he will fundamentally change the customs and cultural atmosphere of Goryeo. Even historical cognition.”

"If nothing else happens, after three generations, there will be no Korean clan in this land. What is left will be just one of the 72 ethnic minorities in our Ming Empire, called the Korean clan."

"In order to increase the Korean people's sense of identification with the Ming Dynasty, Sun'er also suggested that the imperial grandfather should widely open the imperial examination and reimburse the imperial examination travel expenses of all ethnic minorities, such as Koreans, Qiang, Dongman, Mongolian, and Tibetan ethnic groups. And increase the benefits for intermarriage between ethnic minorities and Han people. For example, free houses, land, and farm tools."

"This will be a huge expense. But for the sake of the Ming Dynasty for generations to come, please ask Grandpa Huang to contribute some blood."

"In addition, glass can be popularized. This will greatly improve people's daily lives and increase the national pride of the entire Ming Dynasty."

"The reason why Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty was called the Khan of Heaven was actually precisely because he was recognized by the people all over the world."

"As long as a country in this world has a certain territory, the next thing to do is to increase the cohesion of its citizens."

"The reason why the Yuan Dynasty collapsed was not only internal corruption, but more importantly, the people under its rule had no sense of identity and belonging."

"If they could do what they did in the Tang Dynasty and make everyone proud of being Yuan people, then the previous Mongol Empire would not be divided into these loose and inactive tribes."

"Finally, the reason why money is money is that it has liquidity."

"So from now on, Grandpa Huang has to learn to spend money. Building roads and bridges, building cities and forts, these are all things that must be done."

"It's like raising chickens. The cleaner the chicken coop, the less likely the chickens will get sick. The more food the chickens are given, the more eggs they will lay."

“If you want to receive, you must give.”

"This is the eternal truth."

"And many times, when a person has too much, he becomes worried about gains and losses."

"If all the people of my Ming Dynasty become rich, they will become more and more afraid of losing everything in front of them, and thus they will support the emperor who has brought them happiness and well-being."

"Even when a foreign enemy invades, they will not hesitate to choose to fight alongside you until they are destroyed."

"Because without you, it will be difficult for them to live happily in the past, and they will no longer be able to enjoy the benefits they enjoyed before."

"And the so-called people's will is actually the same truth."

"Okay, let's stop here. When it comes to running the country, Grandpa Huang is probably a hundred times better than me. If you continue, you will be unhappy."
