Chapter 363 The Crown Prince Temporarily Takes Charge of the Duwei Mansion

Just when Du Peng was about to call his entourage to discuss matters in his room.

The captain of the Duwei Mansion who was guarding the gate suddenly slapped his head and blamed himself:

"Master Du, I almost forgot, His Royal Highness sent you an urgent letter today."

"It says that if you run into trouble recruiting workers for immigration, you can use the strategies in the letter."

Upon hearing this, Du Peng quickly followed the captain and asked for an urgent letter from the prince.

Regarding not being allowed to enter the house, he opened the letter directly at the door.

After he opened the letter, a line of vernacular words came directly into his eyes: "If you want to understand what a worker is, you want to understand the definition of a factory..."

After reading the letter from the prince, the depression on Du Peng's face suddenly disappeared.

He couldn't help laughing: "Hahaha, the person who proposed to the prince the plan of using factories to collect victims is really a strange person in the world."

"With the strategy he provided, within a month, I will be able to recruit enough workers for the coastal sugar shipyards and salt drying plants to completely eliminate this drought."

……

Just when Du Peng was amazed at Lin Che's talent and sighed.

Prince Zhu Biao encountered a very difficult problem at this moment.

Zhu Yuanzhang, who was sitting on the dragon chair in the Imperial Study Room, tapped the armrest rhythmically with his fingers and looked at Zhu Biao seriously:

"Before you deal with the taxes, I have a thorny issue that I need you to deal with."

"Some time ago, Beiyuan's spies were related to the Northern Expedition. How do you think we should deal with Beiyuan's spies?"

Yes, I was at the gate of Yingtian City a few days ago.

Onlookers watched the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty chop off the heads of Japanese slaves. When a Beiyuan spy disguised as a businessman tried to sell the handyman who cleaned the house at the Ministry of Works, he was caught by the captain of the Duwei Mansion.

However, this man's bones and mouth are very hard.

Even though the captain subjected him to various tortures, he had no intention of begging for mercy.

The handyman who has not yet been bribed seems to be a naturally timid person.

Not long after he was caught, he was scared out of his wits and died immediately.

When the only clue is broken.

The captain of the Duwei Mansion could not find out how much confidential information of the imperial court the secret agent had collected in the Ministry of Industry or elsewhere.

How much of this information has reached the remnants of Beiyuan.

Zhu Benfan is not good at military strategy, so thinking about these problems is a bit overwhelming.

But when it comes to Zhu Yuanzhang, there is no room for a blank check.

He could only rack his brains and said: "Father, I think the focus of this matter is not on this secret agent, but on whether you plan to attack Japan first or Beiyuan first."

Zhu Biao's meaning is very simple. Now Beiyuan's spies are refusing to speak, and the only handyman who had contact with the spies is dead. In this case, if you want to find out those who have betrayed Ming intelligence to Beiyuan's spies, It can be described as a fantasy.

The best way is to directly lead the army to beat up the remnants of Bei Yuan before Bei Yuan can turn that information into an advantage against Ming.

In this way, the possible adverse consequences of intelligence leakage can be completely eliminated.

However, if Zhu Yuanzhang was targeting Japan to death, it would be difficult to draw up a plan to strengthen the alert on the nine sides until Japan was conquered by the Ming Dynasty before sending troops.

"Boss, it seems that you have listened to Mr. Lin's class in vain, and you have also learned to consider problems from the origin of things.

Zhu Yuanzhang gave a high evaluation to Zhu Biao's strategy.

But he shook his head and said: "I conquered Beiyuan several times before, and I beat Beiyuan to the point where it was like a rat running away."

"So I cannot accept the result of letting them take the lead and not fighting back."

"But the golden mountains and silver islands of Japan are right in front of us. If I were asked to turn around and attack Beiyuan, I would not be willing."

When Zhu Biao heard his father's vague words, he didn't know how to respond. Today, the Ming Dynasty's military expenditure is used to chase the North.

Another fight against the remnants of Bei Yuan was barely enough.

But if it is used to fight against Japan.

Then we must occupy any one of the mines on Jinshanyindao as soon as possible.

Otherwise, the battle is half fought.

Ming Dynasty will face the problem of depleted military expenditure.

But now Zhu Yuanzhang knows this and is still dreaming of launching two wars at the same time.

Zhu Biao believed that if these words reached Fu Youwen's ears.

This Ming Dynasty moneybag would definitely not give Zhu Yuanzhang even a single word.

Instead, he would beg for bones all night long to stay away from this militaristic tyrant.

Zhu Biaoming knew what Zhu Yuanzhang had decided and rarely changed his mind because of other people's advice.

But after hesitating for a long time, he still insisted on admonishing: "Father, although the Ming Dynasty now has several industries that can make a lot of money."

"However, it is currently in the early stage of investment. It will take at least a year to make any profit."

"We are really unable to support two large-scale wars. Please consider it carefully."

Zhu Yuanzhang's face, which had been smiling just now, instantly showed a look of displeasure.

He couldn't help but snorted coldly: "I thought you had learned Mr. Lin's true skills, but I didn't expect you were still the same."

"Mr. Lin's talent is something that will last forever."

"My son is just an ordinary person. How could he learn Mr. Lin's skills so quickly?"

Zhu Biao told the truth. In his eyes, Lin Che was simply a fairy-like being. How could he learn it all at once?

He was so impressed with Lin Che's great talent. It was only natural that he, a person who became a prince through reincarnation, could not learn the skills of an immortal like Lin Che.

It looked like a good old man, but it was ruined because he had no money.

Zhu Yuanzhang had in his heart the great talent and strategy of attacking the Northern Yuan Dynasty from the north and destroying the Japanese slaves in the east, but he could not display it.

He could only sigh: "Boss, since you can't solve the money issue, I'll leave it to you to pry open the mouth of Beiyuan's spy."

Don't wait for Zhu Biao to decline.

Zhu Yuanzhang also added a qualification, saying: "This matter cannot be refused. Within three days, I will see the confession."

When Zhu Biao heard this order, his scalp went numb.

You must know that the captain of the Duwei Mansion spent a long time without getting a result from the interrogation.

Can you go up there by yourself?

At this moment, Zhu Xi, who had been silent next to him, suddenly stood up to thank his eldest brother Zhu Biao: "Thank you, father, for letting me temporarily take charge of the Duwei Mansion."

"My son, I promise for my eldest brother that I will definitely investigate the Beiyuan spy case and get to the bottom of it."

After hearing Zhu Cang's words, Zhu Yuanzhang immediately ordered the eunuch next to him: "Take out my gold seal, I will draft an edict."

There was no chance for Zhu Biao to interrupt.

Soon, Zhu Yuanzhang drafted an order that during the investigation, all matters of the Duwei Mansion, large and small, would be handled by the prince.

Immediately afterwards, he stamped it directly with the gold seal brought by the eunuch.
