Zhu Yuanzhang can see my dreams

Chapter 264 264 He wants to sail?

Zhu Biao was very excited.

Lu Ben was also very excited.

He didn't understand Wang Buli's thinking before. That was because there were outsiders around, and the prince-in-law couldn't explain it too clearly.

Now that everything has been explained clearly, Lu Ben fully understood that this was not Zi Enemy's idea at all.

It was a "poisonous plan" that severely damaged Beiyuan!
No.

This is the clever plan that His Highness the Prince said!
Lu Ben looked at Wang Buli with a look of satisfaction in his eyes. The prince-in-law was a great talent, and he was unwilling to be treated so favorably by his majesty.

After all, if he could take up the position of Minister of Rites, he had to have a conflict between his consort and the previous Minister before he had the chance.

Just this idea, no one could imagine that it has such profound meaning.

In this case, how could the Mongols not be fooled?
Wang Buli glanced at Zhu Biao and looked at your father.

Although I don’t quite understand how this process works, at least I can calm down after listening to it.

After they can no longer survive, they will defect to the Ming Dynasty!

It completely involves the blind spot of his knowledge.

To put it bluntly, it is always the minority at the top who enjoy the blessings, and the lives of most Mongolians are just like that.

"He originally lived in Peiping. In his early years, he was extravagant and obsessed with Tantra (both male and female practitioners). His body had long been unable to bear it. There was internal strife between father and son, and he was so depressed that he could not vent his anger.

Mongolian hadas and clothes are all made of fine silk.

Lu Ben was extremely surprised. Wang Buli, a doctor from a medical family, had some inheritance.

Zhu Yuanzhang had a profound understanding of the character of the Mongolian nobles.

"Yes, yes, it stinks so bad that I have to hold my breath."

As expected of someone who crawled out of a mountain of corpses and a sea of ​​blood, he has a city in his chest.

At that time, it was a great gift to have food to eat, and it was simply a wishful thinking to have some side dishes to eat.

Wang Buli's words triggered Zhu Yuanzhang's memories. In the past, it was really easy to have trouble pooping after only eating some dry food, and he had to poke and buckle with a small stick.

Many low-level Mongolians joined the rebel army to resist the Yuan Dynasty, which Lao Zhu had personally experienced.

Zhu Yuanzhang didn't understand this knowledge either, so he nodded repeatedly:

After all, he is just like his father, and everyone's situation will not change.

When Prince Zhu Biao shouted, Wang Buli just slightly cupped his hands and did not respond.

"Yes, and if you eat meat instead of vegetables every day, your breath will become even more smelly when you talk." Wang Buli glanced at Lu Ben:
"Lü Shangshu also lived in the Yuan Dynasty. Those Mongolians with huge bellies don't have a very fresh breath, do they?"

You know more.

In fact, Lao Zhu was so surprised by Wang Buli's method that he didn't know what to say.

They eat meat for a long time and cannot eat vegetables.

Although he tried his best to govern after running back to Mongolia, his only capable minister Wang Baobao died and the situation was over.

His mind was still digesting Wang Buli's vicious plan.

"Our good son-in-law." Zhu Yuanzhang also stood up with a smile on his face:
"What you said is indeed good, but we still have a question. Why can't we smuggle Mongolian silk? Why do we also need to bring some tea?"

If a person does not eat vegetables for a long time, it will be difficult to poop.

It turns out that the reason why we couldn’t poop back then was because we didn’t eat vegetables!

“Your Majesty, it is mainly related to the eating habits of the Mongolians.

According to my judgment, the pseudo-emperor of the Northern Yuan Dynasty suffered from chest tightness and stasis, coupled with the long-term lack of good salt and tea, this person will definitely not live long.

Lu Ben became more and more convinced of Wang Buli's medical knowledge.

Of course, if Zhu Biao becomes Zhu Yuanzhang No. 2, the civil and military trends in the court will change, and no one expects the prince to succeed to the throne quickly.

Wang Buli misunderstood Zhu Yuanzhang.

When the Mongolian nobles oppress the herdsmen in the territory too hard, civil strife like the Yellow River Uprising will definitely break out.

Therefore, I am confident to use these things to further weaken Beiyuan's strength. "

Zhu Biao nodded repeatedly. Wang Buli really did research on health preservation.

Based on their current financial resources, how much wealth can they have in the future?

"That's it."

Therefore, things like tea are more important to the Mongolians than food most of the time.

They will not think about dying for Dayuan just because they are Mongolians.

When the time comes, diseases will catch up with them and they will all become short-lived ghosts.

No matter how many people sell gouzi, they may not be able to get food.

“Since this is the reason, then we understand.

Bu Li, so Ai You Shi Li Ta La is not destined to live a long life? "

The Ming Dynasty has been consuming Bei Yuan's strength on the border, making him unable to see the hope of regaining the Central Plains. He feels increasingly depressed. How can he live longer? "

The reason why Wang Baobao was able to be named King of Henan and become the main force in the Northern Expedition of Zhu Yuanzhang and other forces was because Emperor Shun (the title given by Zhu Yuanzhang) did not trust the prince.

In order to seize the throne, the prince Aiyoushilitara wanted his father to abdicate and tried his best to eliminate the old emperor's influence. This made the internal struggle in the Yuan Dynasty more intense. Even the prime minister refused to resign and rebelled against the country, so he had to be killed. The prince was relieved.

As a result, Wang Baobao took charge of the military forces of the Yuan Dynasty but did not move. Emperor Shun of Yuan Dynasty suspected that he had second thoughts and asked the prince to lead troops to attack Wang Baobao.

At this time, the warlords within the Yuan Dynasty were all waiting and watching, thinking about how to serve as king or savior at the right opportunity to strive for more benefits.

At the time of the civil strife in the Yuan Dynasty, Lao Zhu suddenly proclaimed himself emperor and established the Ming Dynasty and began the Northern Expedition. Emperor Shun of the Yuan Dynasty was afraid of the Ming army and led his people directly from Dadu.

All the calculations disappeared in the absolute strength interview.

But misfortunes never come singly, and Emperor Yuan Shun died of dysentery!

Now that the prince with such a long name became the emperor, he changed his name to Xuanguang, which was still taken from Du Fu's poem, with the intention of regaining the lost territory of the Yuan Dynasty.

It's delusional for now.

Zhu Yuanzhang was not happy about the murder of the King of Goryeo. In addition to the regicide, Zhu Yuanzhang was more dissatisfied with the fact that the first generation of King Goryeo to defect to the Ming Dynasty killed the entire family of Queen Qi of the Yuan Dynasty.

Empress Qi was from Korea, and it was said that she was very popular with Emperor Yuan Shun when she practiced dual cultivation.

Emperor Yuan Shun announced the abolition of the King of Korea, but Korea did not accept the order.

In order to avenge the Queen's clan, the Yuan Dynasty sent more than 10,000 people to invade, but they were defeated by the Goryeo warrior Cui Yuan, leaving only 17 cavalrymen who fled back to Dadu.

Seeking peace through struggle, the Yuan Dynasty's attitude immediately changed, and it took the initiative to return the Korean traitors to ease relations and restore diplomatic relations between the two sides!

As a resolute renunciationist, Zhu Yuanzhang still cared about the King of Goryeo.

Now that he is dead, the pro-Yuan faction in Goryeo will take power, and the situation will be unfavorable to the Ming Dynasty.

Now Wang Buli's vicious plan made Zhu Yuanzhang think it was very safe.

This method not only weakens Beiyuan's strength, but also allows the Goryeo pro-Yuan faction to act as Ming's helper.

In this case, why worry that Beiyuan cannot be destroyed?

There is no need for future generations to always be on guard against the Mongols constantly coming to harass us.

Zhu Yuanzhang was determined to destroy Bei Yuan, but he could not seize the right opportunity.

Wang Baobao died, but there was no fighting within Beiyuan over the struggle for power, which made Zhu Yuanzhang's judgment wrong.

Therefore, we must give them a thunderous blow when the remnants of Tubo are causing trouble.

Indirectly telling the Mongols that his current attention is in the northwest and not on them, in order to paralyze them!
After all, the map outside is really difficult, and not everyone has Huo Qubing's ability to avoid getting lost.

Or it would take someone like Kublai Khan who lived in Mongolia in his early years and knew how to lead the way to wipe them all out.

The internal struggles of the Mongols have always been extremely fierce, and your graves will be leveled.

"We are not worried about not being able to supply this silk. We are just worried about whether Goryeo will act as we imagined."

"This requires efforts from Zheng Mengzhou and other pro-Ming factions."

"Yeah."

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded repeatedly. The key now is to deal with these internal responses.

Wang Buli should have found a way to keep silent, that is, if any Mongolian nobles had a clear head and didn't want silk.

Then play bundle sales. If you want to buy some tea, you have to buy silk.

"and many more."

Zhu Biao suddenly thought of a question:
"If the Mongols get a large amount of silk and want to sell it, wouldn't it mean that Ming Dynasty would make it their wedding dress?"

“Where can it be sold to Mongolia?”

Lu Ben, the Minister of Rites, pointed to the northwest:
"Then it's the Western Regions and other places. Where can the territory of the Yuan Dynasty be divided? Even though it later fell apart, it can still be regarded as the same clan and ancestors. This may affect my plan for the Ming Dynasty."

Wang Buli pondered for a while: "Then let's reopen the Silk Road!"

"Ah? What is the Silk Road!"

Zhu Yuanzhang has never heard of this name. Which road is this?

"Back to Your Majesty, the road from Yumen Pass to the outside was the Silk Road that was pierced by the Han envoy Zhang Qian." "During the period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty."

Of course Zhu Yuanzhang knew about this. He knew the history of the Han Dynasty, and he also learned some historical experience from the Emperor Gaozu of the Han Dynasty to govern the Ming Dynasty.

This is also the theoretical basis for his choice of enfeoffment.

"Well, now my Ming Dynasty is the Han Dynasty, and the Xiongnu is the Northern Yuan Dynasty. They are somewhat similar."

Zhu Yuanzhang ordered people to unfold the map of the entire Ming Dynasty.

Wang Buli also had the opportunity to look at this giant map.

It can be seen that the current territory is not large, especially Yunnan, Liaodong, northwest and other places are very briefly drawn, with only a few main roads.

On the contrary, the routes around Tianfu and the garrison are drawn in great detail.

Zhu Yuanzhang regarded Wang Buli and Wang Buli as his own, otherwise this kind of military map would not be casually viewed by others.

Moreover, even if they saw it, they had no power to mobilize troops, not even Prince Zhu Biao.

"Tell me what you know about the Silk Road." Zhu Yuanzhang wanted to get more information from Wang Buli.

"Your Majesty, the Silk Road has never been cut off from the Eastern and Western Han Dynasties to the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties. It became more prosperous in the Sui and Tang Dynasties, but after the Anshi Rebellion, the Tang Dynasty began to decline.

The Tibetan Tibetans crossed the Kunlun Mountains and marched northward, occupying most of the Western Region.

The war in northern China continued for many years, the output of silk and porcelain continued to decline, and merchants only wanted to protect themselves rather than travel far, and the Silk Road gradually entered a trough.

By the Northern Song Dynasty, the Hexi Corridor was not even under control, and the Southern Song Dynasty was even more uncertain, so it had to resort to the Maritime Silk Road as a substitute.

As for the Mongolian Yuan Dynasty, they launched three western expeditions and southern expeditions, greatly expanding their territory. Together with the establishment of post roads and the restoration of the Eurasian transportation network, long-distance caravan trafficking activities flourished again across a wide range of regions.

There were many foreign merchants coming to China during the Yuan Dynasty. I heard that there were records of merchants like Marco Polo.

And our Ming Dynasty currently has no expansion in this area, so how can any country come to the DPRK? "

Zhu Yuanzhang did not receive any summary of knowledge points in this area.

There were so many books that he had no chance to summarize.

Now after listening to Wang Buli's summary, he nodded repeatedly, because he really didn't understand.

No official mentioned anything about the Silk Road to him.

He had dealt with so many memorials, but there was nothing about the Western Regions.

"For example, even Gansu and other places were not completely occupied by the Ming Dynasty, and all the external forces did not surrender, open up the Western Regions, and open up the Silk Road."

Zhu Yuanzhang shook his head: "It's difficult."

Merchants pursue profits, but the trade routes are too dangerous, so a very small number of merchants are selected who want money rather than their lives.

The Silk Road will only become more and more in decline, not to mention having to cross deserts along the way, which is too risky.

"It is indeed difficult, but I believe that Mu Ying and others will defeat the remnants of Tibet this year and will use their heads to promote the strength of Ming Dynasty. After that, the environment there will be much better and they will not dare to invade Ming Dynasty's caravan."

Wang Buli chuckled again:
"Your Majesty, this is not something that happens overnight. We are just discussing the preventive measures for Mongolians to sell silk. Whether they will buy it is still a question mark."

"Well, what the consort said makes sense." Zhu Yuanzhang nodded slightly:

"We still have another point of concern."

Wang Buli felt annoyed. Why was Lao Zhu so difficult to deal with? Why wasn't he tired?

Is it possible that power is really the best aphrodisiac for men?

"Your Majesty, please speak."

"If those Koreans also want to line their own pockets, they will be in big trouble if they sell the silk that should be sold to Beiyuan to Japan!"

Based on Zhu Yuanzhang's understanding of officials, many people are willing to seek benefits for himself!
What's more, the King of Korea is only in his early ten years, hunting every day, doesn't understand anything, and is a pure puppet.

It's normal for those ministers to line their own pockets.

Wang Buli was also stunned. It was Lao Zhu who had to bear in mind the issue of anti-corruption and how to prevent it.

"Your Majesty, I still have to think about this."

Wang Buli did not immediately give an answer.

Instead, Prince Zhu Biao immediately took over the conversation:
"Dad, why don't I, the Ming Dynasty, sell silk to the Japanese country? The condition is that the Japanese king controls the Japanese pirates not to come to the Ming Dynasty. In this way, Goryeo will not make any profit from selling silk to the Japanese country, and it can be avoided."

"Hmm, good idea!"

Zhu Yuanzhang immediately pointed at Zhu Biao. He originally wanted you Wang Buli to say this to cover up the news of searching for silver mines in Japan.

I never thought that Wang Buli would not answer this question, or did I not expect it?
But it is normal to bring things to light at this time.

Wang Buli hummed and didn't answer. He just felt strange.

Once you want to sell silk to Little Japan, you will inevitably start a voyage.

Lao Zhu was not strictly forbidden to go to the sea, but also moved the coastal residents inland. At this time, he agreed with his son's idea, which was somewhat contrary to his policy.

Therefore, Wang Buli felt strange, but did not say anything.

Lu Ben also did not expect that the emperor would affirm the prince's idea. Selling silk to Japan was abnormal.

The vassal states all paid tribute, and the great powers gave gifts in return.

"Your Majesty, this matter is against etiquette and law, and the court cannot come forward!"

Zhu Yuanzhang thought for a while and then looked at Wang Buli: "Buli, do you want to take charge of this matter?"

He didn't want to get involved in this matter. Who knew what Lao Zhu was thinking.

Wang Buli shook his head:

"Your Majesty, I still have to worry about the Grand Canal and the mausoleum projects. If I don't have the skills to deal with foreign trade, I might as well leave it to Li Jinglong. He has good business experience in Ye Qinhuai and has met all kinds of people."

Zhu Yuanzhang walked around twice before making a decision.

This kid Li Jinglong has a progressive heart and is good at reading, but he has never had any experience in the military.

It would not be so safe to let him directly take charge of the navy.

But he didn't keep his mouth shut. Once he found something out of the Japanese country, he was determined to show it off to Wang Buli.

"I'll think about the suitable candidate."

Zhu Yuanzhang was not worried at all about silk manufacturing.

Even though there was a massive shrinkage in the Yuan Dynasty, silk manufacturing in Sichuan, Jiangnan and other places was going upstream, so there was no problem at all.

Not to mention that Wang Buli also built a new loom at home.

His daughter used it and said it was good.

Of course, don't try to hide this kind of thing from Zhu Yuanzhang.

Zhu Yuanzhang thought that Wang Buli came up with this thing because he wanted to sell silk?
I'm surprised why he didn't take the job for himself when I gave him the opportunity today, and just rolled out his loom.

After all, the Ministry of Engineering has purchased a lot of stoves and is now testing them in various yamen.

The army outside Nanjing also experimented with this thing, which caused a slight increase in coal prices.

Fortunately, Zhu Yuanzhang knew long ago that the coal mines also belonged to Ming Dynasty, so he immediately suppressed the price.

Wang Buli built a loom just for his wife to play with, and it was not yet mature.

In particular, he said that he had no confidence in Lao Zhu to launch a big voyage.

As for the loom, I can play with it while I am coaxing my wife, and eating ashes in the future can be regarded as leaving some property for my descendants.

It was a sure thing that Zhu Di opened the sea and asked Zheng He to go to the Western Ocean.

Wang Buli didn't even think about this kind of thing when it came to Lao Zhu.

He is too conservative!

"This matter will be discussed later." Zhu Yuanzhang pointed at the map and said:
"We have already given Deng Yu face-to-face military training, and it is no problem to defeat Tubo."

When he turned around again, he looked at Wang Buli and smiled:

"The key is that the experiment our son-in-law mentioned about preventing and adapting to altitude sickness was a great success. The news sent back by Mu Ying was a great success. The Mongolians who are entrenched in Ili and other places in the future will not be able to escape."

Wang Buli vaguely remembered that the territory was occupied by the Mongols during their previous Western Expeditions, and it seemed to be undergoing internal divisions even now.

It can be said that when the Central Plains region is in turmoil, it is difficult for surrounding countries not to be affected.

"Thanks to the soldiers for daring to test with their lives, and also to His Majesty's trust, otherwise I wouldn't be able to guarantee this method."

Zhu Yuanzhang was very satisfied that Wang Buli was not greedy for merit.

Although you are just talking, but if you hadn't used your words, I don't know how many soldiers the Ming Dynasty would have lost.

Don't overwork yourself, march slowly and steadily, it's totally fine.

This credit cannot be taken away. Zhu Yuanzhang had already planned to give Wang Buli a credit when Deng Yu and others came back.

Lu Ben, the Minister of Rites, opened his mouth and then closed it.

There was no chance for him to participate in this kind of military affairs discussion, but Wang Buli, the consort, could participate.

As far as he knew, there was currently no prince-in-law who could be as deeply involved in government affairs as Wang Buli.

Sure enough, the emperor was partial to this new consort!
