Ming Dynasty: He was ordered to give lectures in prison, but Lao Zhu eavesdropped and made people nu

Chapter 346 Chapter The traitorous behavior of Goryeo officials

This statement came out.

Zhu Biao immediately held his breath, understood immediately, and then nodded solemnly.

"Yes, Father."

"My son understands."

The words fell.

Zhu Yuanzhang sat back down uneasily and drank a lot of tea. However, he still felt his mouth was dry and he waved his hand to drive him away:

"Go back, you don't have anything to do here. Prepare early for what Mr. Lin arranges for you."

"Do your best and don't embarrass Mr. Lin."

Zhu Biao opened his mouth, hesitated to speak, bowed respectfully, and then hurriedly left the hall.

Waiting for the prince's footsteps to fade away.

Silence fell again.

"Sister."

Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help but said excitedly: "In your opinion, is it possible that Mr. Lin is really the reincarnation of an immortal?"

"Cuncui has come down to earth to survive the tribulation?"

"If Mr. Lin is really an immortal descended to earth, then our Ming Dynasty will be completely finished soon?!"

Hear this.

Empress Ma shook her head helplessly, hesitated for a while, did not express her opinion, and silently added some tea to his cup.

"You ask me, who should I ask?"

Zhu Yuanzhang: "!!!"

Seeing that his wife didn't want to talk to him, he stopped asking for trouble, sighed silently, and then said:

"That's all, let's take time tomorrow to go find your husband for advice."

"Well, in this case, sister, help us get the "Tao Te Ching" and let us review it carefully."

"If you grind your guns before the battle, you will be light if you are not quick."

"You can't just ask three questions and not know everything."

"Are you right?"

Unexpectedly, Queen Ma didn't give her any face, and stood up with a straight face, not caring about the slaves coming in from outside.

"I'm tired, please go back with me."

"Don't disturb His Majesty in handling state affairs."

When Zhu Yuanzhang saw this, there were a few more black lines on his forehead. At that time, his whole body felt bad and he was very angry.

"Hey, you bitch, we haven't asked you yet, why are you eavesdropping alone when you're not staying in the palace?"

The voice fell silent and received no response.

Under his astonished gaze, Queen Ma walked out of the imperial study room with a swagger.

Zhu Yuanzhang: "???"

……

The next day.

The sun is rising.

Zhu Yuanzhang sat on the dragon throne on time and accepted the worship of the ministers.

He originally planned to go to the Confucius Temple early to attend classes after attending morning court today.

Just when he was about to ask if there was any original play.

Yang Kui, the Minister of Rites, suddenly came out and said:

"Your Majesty, it has been raining in northwest Henan for nearly two months."

"Now is the time when grains are heading. If there is insufficient moisture, it will inevitably affect the harvest in the second half of the year."

"I ask your Majesty to purchase grain in the south of the Yangtze River as soon as possible, and then transfer it to the Central Plains to set up Changping Granary, so that after the disaster breaks out, the people will suffer from hunger and be deceived by thoughtful people."

Unlike other dynasties, civil unrest usually occurred in the Ming Dynasty.

If they are put under command, not only will the officials not be promoted, but they will also be held accountable.

In order to prevent the students from the Central Plains from being unlucky.

Yang Kui deliberately exaggerated the drought situation in some areas of Henan.

He wanted to attract Zhu Yuanzhang's attention and nip the possibility of his colleagues in the bud.

"I agree to the purchase of grain."

Zhu Yuanzhang had heard Lin Che talk about the drought in Henan before.

He wasn't too surprised by Yang Kui's words.

Then he told Fu Youwen, the Minister of Household Affairs, "Fu Aiqing, I will leave the matter of purchasing grain to you." "I hope that no one will starve to death in the Central Plains this year due to disasters."

Fu Youwen naturally nodded in agreement.

And he also added a sentence very cooperatively:

"Your Majesty, I am afraid that besides the Ming Dynasty, there are also places suffering from drought."

"In order to prevent unscrupulous merchants from transporting Ming Dynasty's grain to other places for profit, I ask you to strictly investigate the sale of grain!"

Zhu Yuanzhang hesitated for a moment and thought about it.

Then he said: "It should be so. Before the disaster in our Ming Dynasty is eliminated, not a single grain of rice is allowed to leave the border of our Ming Dynasty. Otherwise, we will be punished for treason."

Such a severe punishment caused some uproar among the courtiers.

However, they can also understand Zhu Yuanzhang's thoughts.

Although chemical fertilizers are available in Ming Dynasty, they have not yet been widely used.

Coupled with the fact that Huguang and Jiangnan were the world's granaries in the past, many fertile fields have been turned into mulberry fields.

If it occurs, it will cause a famine.

If you want to avoid causing trouble, you have to use Chongdian to control the direction of food.

Yang Kui was a little surprised that Zhu Yuanzhang agreed to the matter so simply.

This is the inertia of being an official for so many years.

Let him kneel down to thank Zhu Yuanzhang directly after he finished speaking:

"Your Majesty truly loves the people like a son. On behalf of the people of the Central Plains, I would like to thank you for your kindness."

Zhu Yuanzhang replied with a few polite words and simply dismissed the matter.

Everything is done with good intentions, it is a normal situation for a minister to submit a report, and His Majesty agrees after considering it.

There was nothing that people noticed that was wrong.

But there are a few courtiers whose families have plenty of fertile land.

Still thinking about whether to buy food on a large scale for the imperial court.

Come find a rare item to live in, and make a lot of money when the time comes.

However, except for Fu Youwen, Liu Sanwu and a few other close court officials, they knew the inside story.

Other courtiers couldn't even think of it.

Zhu Yuanzhang ostensibly established a grain ban in response to the drought in the Central Plains.

In fact, it was aimed at the royal family of Goryeo, and was a prelude to the strategy of destroying the country and reviving the country.

After all, economic war cannot be won overnight.

If Lin Che's plan was not arranged in advance.

In the future, if you rush to disrupt the current situation in Goryeo, you will easily fall short.

"Your Majesty, the Korean envoy is asking for an audience outside the palace."

Arrangements for the disaster in Central Plains have just been completed.

A young eunuch came forward to report to Zhu Yuanzhang that the powerful Goryeo official came to see him again.

"Call him in."

Zhu Yuanzhang thought for a while and decided to take a multi-pronged approach to Gao Li as Lin Che said.

"My ministers, Goryeo, pay homage to His Majesty the Ming Emperor."

As soon as Jin Ze entered the hall, he bowed to Zhu Yuanzhang and saluted.

Immediately afterwards, more generous promises were given than in the previous days.

"Your Majesty, now in the Goryeo court, courtiers are attacking each other."

"Please also ask Your Majesty to send your ministers back to Goryeo to quell this senseless killing."

"When the situation stabilizes, I am willing to donate Jeju Island and the three state capitals close to the Ming Dynasty to the Celestial Gang as compensation for the rebel thieves who attacked the Ming Dynasty soldiers."

When this new bargaining chip was thrown out, many courtiers were dumbfounded.

How big are these three state capitals?

After all, the Korean people like to brag, and even a county dares to call the state capital.

What surprised everyone was that Kanazawa wanted to return to Goryeo and become a powerful minister.

It was a traitorous act that had no bottom line in the Ming Dynasty.

There were many civil servants in the court, and they were in the court of the Ming vassal state.

Everyone despises such a shameless traitor like Kanazawa.

As he finished speaking, several censors stood up and shouted slogans to kill the traitors of Goryeo.
