Daming: I am the most powerful emperor grandson, please abdicate the throne

Chapter 89 Can we open the sea?
  "So many years have passed, and Grandpa Huang's former enemies have grown old."

"They may have descendants, or they may not."

"But whether there is or not, the grievances of the past should have faded away. They are no longer as life-and-death as before. Grandpa Huang does not want them to continue to be Japanese pirates and rob coastal people. In fact, they can be pardoned and let them return to the land."

"My grandson has read a book, and it says in it that older people like fallen leaves to return to their roots."

"Grandpa Huang pardons these people and allows them to return to their ancestral homes and return to their roots. Maybe they will be very grateful to Grandpa Huang."

"In fact, actively guiding them back is easier to manage and control than overseas."

"Back on land, if those people still dare to cause trouble, Grandpa Huang can kill them immediately, but if they are left overseas, their descendants may become Japanese pirates and cause trouble on the Daming Sea."

Zhu Xuan briefly told them his thoughts again.

If we close ourselves off, we will miss many development opportunities.

Zhu Yuanzhang, Yu Xin and the others fell into deep thought again.

Guiding those enemies who have fled overseas to return to the land is indeed as Zhu Xuan said. It is very easy to control. If you find any problems, just kill them, which can save a lot of trouble.

Zhu Yuanzhang's focus lies on this.

Yu Xin said: "According to what the little emperor said, we can open the sea and allow the people on the original coast to go out for business, fishing and hunting at will, so that they will not become Japanese pirates because they cannot live?"

Zhu Xuan nodded and said: "Yes! Their business, fishing and hunting are also part of their lives. Our Ming Dynasty can also increase a lot of tax revenue through trading overseas. In addition..."

He thought about it for a moment, then changed his point of view and said: "Overseas in the Ming Dynasty, since there are countries such as Japan and Ryukyu, there may be other larger countries. If those overseas countries have stronger shipbuilding and naval warfare capabilities, then They come to attack our Ming Dynasty, but we have no ships to go to sea, and we don’t know how to fight at sea. What should we do?”

After hearing these words, a gleam flashed in Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes.

The idea of ​​a good grandson is extremely possible.

The sea is vast, their exploration of the sea is limited, and everything is unknown. If there really is such an overseas country, wouldn't their Ming Dynasty have no choice but to be beaten?
  Zhu Yuanzhang did not allow this to happen. He was a little shaken about whether to let go of the sea ban. He frowned and thought about what they could do.

"The little emperor is right."

Zhan Hui first agreed, and then worried: "But in this case, we can't open the sea. As long as we, the people of Ming Dynasty, don't go to sea, people overseas will not know our existence."

Zhu Xuan: "..."

He felt that Zhan Hui was really a clever guy.

Such thoughts can also come to his mind.

"If we don't go to sea, Japanese pirates, North Koreans, etc. will go to sea!"

Zhu Xuan gave Zhan Hui a helpless look.

Some of the other dependent countries are already overseas.

They want to go to sea, can Daming stop them?
  If there are really other countries overseas, they can know the existence of the Ming Dynasty through Japanese pirates and so on.

Thinking of this, Zhan Hui blushed and smiled sheepishly.

"According to the little emperor's grandson, if you open the sea and go to sea, it is not just as simple as doing business, but you also need to train navy and build warships that can go to sea. It costs a lot!"

Zou Jin said.

Zhu Yuanzhang thought it was right.

The Ming Dynasty was so poor that it couldn't come up with so much money to do so many things.

It also requires a lot of manpower. When everyone builds ships and becomes navy, who will do the farming?

"Money matters are actually easy to solve."

Zhu Xuan raised his head and said: "Isn't there another Japanese country? If you pay a little price first and conquer the Japanese country, you can get huge gold and silver mines."

Hearing Zhu Xuan bring the topic back to the Japanese country again, Zhu Yuanzhang and the four of them were thinking about whether it was feasible and whether it was worth doing.

But they didn't say whether they agreed or disagreed.

It is actually very unrealistic to suddenly ask Grandpa Huang to agree to lift the sea ban. Zhu Xuan said so much today just to temporarily bury this seed in their hearts so that it can sprout and grow in the future. Now that the burial is done, what to do next depends on what Grandpa Huang thinks.

Zhu Xuan is a little kid who can't do many things. He has said so many words, which is beyond the understanding of his current age.

Zhu Yuanzhang didn't think anything was wrong. Everyone knew that his good grandson was smart.

They are also used to it.

"This matter needs to be considered in the long run!"

Zhu Yuanzhang put all this behind him for the time being, stopped talking about it, and said: "Let's leave it like this for the time being regarding the Japanese pirates. Yun Qi, send your good grandson back to the main hall."

Zhu Xuan said expectantly: "Grandpa Huang, my grandson wants to go out to the palace to meet Sister Miaojin and Sister Yuanjun."

"also!"

Zhu Yuanzhang smiled and said: "Remember to take Yan Guan and Hou Xian with you, let's go! Come back early and have dinner with us tonight."

"Thank you, Grandpa Huang!"

Zhu Xuan jumped down from the chair and ran out happily.

Zou Jin looked at Zhu Xuan's leaving figure and praised: "Your Majesty, the little emperor's grandson is not simple! He knows so many things and his analysis of things is very thorough. Congratulations, Your Majesty!"

"Okay! No more flattery."

Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand and said: "You continue to read the memorial!"

He also left Wenhua Pavilion and returned to Jinshen Hall to handle other matters.

-

Several days passed.

Jin Yiwei finally made another discovery.

Jiang Wei asked Yan Guan to tell Zhu Yunxi and Zhu Xuan the news.

"I can't find anything wrong with Yuxiang."

"We can't find any clues about the wet nurse's relatives."

"The second emperor's grandson asked us to keep an eye on the Crown Princess. Just yesterday, she arranged for a palace maid to go back to the Lu family, and then the Lu family burned some things."

Yan Guan told everything Jin Yiwei found out.

The clues about the nanny and Yuxiang are basically gone.

At present, the only target is Lu. However, Lu wiped away all other clues and asked the palace maid to return to her parents' home, probably to destroy something harmful to her.

Zhu Yunxi asked: "What did the Lu family burn?"

Yan Guan said: "According to what Jin Yiwei saw, it seems to be a book. We haven't found the specific book."

Their deliberate approach of alerting others did have some effect.

Yuxiang, who knew about it, died and the Lu family burned something. Apparently Lu was a little anxious and wanted to erase as much unfavorable evidence as possible.

But alerting the enemy in the first place has the disadvantage of making Lu feel guilty and leaving them with fewer things to find out.

"What do you think we should do next?" Zhu Yunxi asked.

Zhu Xuan thought for a long time and asked: "Brother Xiongying died of illness back then. Is the imperial physician who treated Brother Xiongying still there?"

Zhu Yunxi shook his head and said: "No more. He is already old. He retired and returned home a few years ago. I want to investigate that imperial doctor?"

"That's right, you have to be fast!"

Zhu Xuan solemnly said: "If Mrs. Lu did something improperly, the imperial doctor might find out, and maybe she was bribed by Mrs. Lu, and then she might be silenced."
