Five years of garrison on the border, shocked Zhu Yuanzhang who went south to inspect

Chapter 30 For this kind of thing, fairness or impartiality will cause them some trouble

This aristocratic young master, no matter from any angle, is a gentle person, not as scary as rumored.

After finishing eating, Zhu Tuo held the leader's arm, like an old friend reunited after a long separation, and said with a smile: "Today's dinner was very good. Thank you everyone for your hospitality."

The leader said: "As long as you are satisfied."

Zhu Tuo laughed: "Yes, yes, yes, yes. I see that you are not living well, but you are really sorry to entertain me with such delicious food. When I come back, I will definitely repay you well."

"What? Thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty. No need.

"You are so kind to me, I can't let you down. When I return to Lingnan, I will fully support your food, ironware, cloth, and porcelain."

The leader was startled and couldn't help but said: "Why is Your Majesty so kind to our tribe?"

"I think you're pretty good, haha. Not only the supplies, but I think your planting skills are also very poor. Some people were slightly injured. I'm afraid your medical skills are also very poor. Hey, I'll send some craftsmen and doctors over later. How about it?"

The leader was stunned. Is this a good thing that fell from the sky?

"why?"

Zhu Tuo drank a large glass of wine and said: "As the king of Lingnan, I am as close to the people of Lingnan as a brother! It was my fault in the past, and I will repay you well!"

Hearing this sentence, the leader immediately burst into tears. He stood up and bowed respectfully to him: "Thank you for your kindness!"

Zhu Tuo suddenly reached out and pointed at the soldiers outside the door and said, "Look, are my soldiers very powerful?"

When the leader saw the well-equipped elites, he couldn't help but nod and said: "It's really amazing!"

"You still don't know that Lingnan is the largest land in the Ming Dynasty. There are 80 soldiers and horses in Lingnan!"

"Eighty thousand?!" Chen Xiaobei looked confused.

The leader was obviously a little scared.

"The grain depots of the Lingnan people are almost gone. The civilians' clothes will be discarded soon. There is also steel. There are iron ores everywhere in our Lingnan area. There are thousands of miners in Lingnan. People, even wearing an iron suit!"

Lu Qing lowered his head and closed his eyes tightly.

He has never met anyone who is pretending to be a ghost.

Zhu Tuo put his arm around the leader's shoulders: "From now on, you will be my good buddy. With this big mountain, your backer is your most solid backing. You don't have to worry. In a few years, you will The bandits will surely prosper."

A trace of yearning flashed in the leader's eyes, but it quickly dimmed. He said in a hoarse voice: "Let your majesty see, Annan will definitely not just watch my territory develop and grow."

"What?" Annan? "Does it have anything to do with them?"

The leader finally finished his words and said angrily: "The bandits in Annan usually look down on us and ask us to pay tribute every month. As long as they don't give us enough food, they will beat us and even yell at us!"

"These Annan people bully us. We have never offended them, but they do not allow us to contact the Ming Dynasty. We have no food, so they force us to rob the Ming Dynasty and fight against the Ming Dynasty."

"Huh? You even dare to bully my brother?"

"How can this work?"

Hearing the boss's complaint, Zhu Tuo jumped up from his seat angrily and slammed the table.

"Your Majesty, let's have a drink, let's have a drink!"

"This wine is still hot, just wait here. I will destroy his country first, and then I will drink it with you!"

Scholar Liang tugged on his sleeves and shouted: "Follow Your Majesty!"

Lu Qing looked at this guy who had become their brother within two hours and threatened to avenge them, and his heart was full of respect. "Your Majesty, this matter needs to be considered in the long term. I have some nobles with good connections around me. We can work together to deal with Annan."

"Annan is also forcing them? Zhu Tuo said in surprise.

Zhu Tuo was a well-known master of fire-making. He scolded the captain bloody in just a few words and expressed his strong dissatisfaction with Annan.

Because of its remote location and strong strength, Annan had a strong sense of pride when dealing with surrounding tribes.

Not only did they have to make the surrounding chieftains surrender, they also had to pay tribute every month, and Annan needed the help of their subordinates in every war.

The leader was furious: "Those barbarians actually hold an ancestor worship ceremony every year and ask our tribe to sacrifice ten children and kill them in memory. They all know that the Ming Dynasty is far away.

“We were flanked by the Ming Dynasty and Annan, and we were barely surviving and had to pay two taxes.

One cup per person.Every time officials from the Ming Dynasty came, they looked down on us and regarded us as barbarians. "

Shi Ziliang's face turned pale.

How dare you say Daming in front of Zhu Tuo, are you looking for death?

"This is a subordinate who made a mistake. I hope your Majesty will forgive me."

At this time, Zhu Tuo's face was solemn, and he no longer had the arrogance he had before.

"This is Ming Dynasty's fault!" But I can guarantee that this kind of thing will never happen again in the future. If you truly surrender to Ming Dynasty, you are a citizen of Ming Dynasty. "

"I will let your people live a good life. I will let them study hard, so that they can study hard. As for those gray-haired old men, I will treat them well!"

"I have three tasks during this inspection, one is 'fairness', one is 'just', and the other is 'impartiality'!
The royal palace corresponds to the Kingdom of Heaven.

"Reporting to the king, my subordinates have just received information that all those items have been sold out."

Xu Da came to Zhu Yuanzhang with a cheerful face.

"All sold out in ten days? Didn't it say that the supply is limited every day?" Zhu Yuanzhang's heart moved, how could this thing be bought so quickly?
Before he had time to send people to Lingnan to purchase, all these things were sold out?

"How many taels can you take out?"

Xu Da heard the anxiety in Zhu Yuanzhang's tone, and quickly explained: "This time the product is very popular, and all major families are rushing to buy it, even the price on the black market is as high as [-]%.

I port.

"In the recent period, a total of more than 3000 taels have been sold. Excluding shop rent and other miscellaneous expenses, the total is more than 2000 taels."

"Ten thousand taels of silver?"

Even Zhu Yuanzhang was shocked at this moment. He stood up, walked back and forth a few times, and looked at Xu Da with sharp eyes: "Xu Aiqing, I'm worried about letting others take care of Lingnan's affairs. You'd better come here one more time."

Xu Da smiled and said: "Then I will go back and take a look."

Now in Yingtian Pavilion, all kinds of rare things have become items that all the big families are competing to buy.

When business was booming, many businessmen were interested in finding people to inquire about the origin of this batch of goods. However, no matter how they inquired, there was no information, so they had to give up.

After a while, Zhu Yuanzhang calmed down and sat down slowly.

"There seem to be many rich people in this world." Zhu Yuanzhang breathed a long sigh of relief, his eyes flashed with a stern look, and he said angrily: "The monthly salary of my officials for a year is only a few dozen taels of silver, but they are actually just It’s so weird that you can give me so many goodies!”

"It seems I'm really good to them!"
