Zhu Yuanzhang can see my dreams

Chapter 303 303 Do you want to tell the fourth child?

Li Shanchang is the number one hero of the Ming Dynasty!

Zhu Yuanzhang said that Li Shanchang had no hard work, but he contributed a lot to Zhu Yuanzhang by providing him with a steady supply of troops and food.

It's like Xiao He and Zhang Liang got together.

At that time, Zhu Yuanzhang made six dukes in one go.

Li Shanchang is the only civil servant who ranks first, beating the other five people. There is no one who is dissatisfied.

Moreover, Zhu Yuanzhang was very generous and gave Li Shanchang an iron certificate for the elixir.

He himself was exempted from death penalty twice, and his son was exempted once.

The Li family is equivalent to having "three lives" to reopen.

Of course, Zhu Yuanzhang also added bugs to their lives.

That means committing treason will not avoid death!
Li Shanchang is not a pure person. There are few pure people in the world.

Although he knew it was Wang Buli's deliberate flattery, it was inevitable that he was extremely pleased with it.

Because Li Shanchang has been away from the center of power for too long.

Many people go to praise Hu Weiyong, who is now in power, rather than him, a veteran who was ordered by the emperor to leave the court to retire.

Why Li Shanchang still longs to return to the court is because he can't bear this psychological gap.

From one person below ten thousand people to one who doesn't even listen to his own son, how huge is the gap?
Just like some people, after retreating, they no longer have the feeling of being surrounded by others, and they feel very uncomfortable and feel the sadness of being away.

In fact, it is because I did not adjust my mentality in time.

"The younger generation is to be feared, the younger generation is really to be feared!" Li Shanchang patted Wang Buli's shoulder affectionately:

"Given time, you will be able to get a knighthood even though you have no hard work but a lot of planning!"

Wang Buli was shocked at first, and then said thank you to Mr. Han for his kindness.

There were rumors that he would be knighted. In order to come up with a suitable title, Prime Minister Hu Weiyong was so worried that he couldn't sleep.

Li Shanchang had no information channels, and no one told him.

Or is he just pretending to be confused here?

But it's not important. In fact, Wang Buli didn't know what kind of medicine Zhu Yuanzhang was selling in the gourd.

"Prince-in-law, are the poisonous mushrooms you mentioned just now really that poisonous?"

"I'm going to put it mildly. If a person eats fresh food, it won't take so long for the disease to occur."

After listening to Wang Buli's words, Li Shanchang took a breath of cold air.

He originally thought that Wang Buli was exaggerating, but he never thought that he had intentionally weakened the poisonous mushroom.

The hall in the Governor's Mansion was noisy for a while, everyone was discussing whether Wang Buli's method could be applied to Beiyuan.

After all, after conquering Yunnan, we have poisonous mushrooms in our hands.

The Mongols are not easy to get together. It happens that they often poison our chasing troops to infect the water sources and make our army unable to drink water.

We might as well poison them with poisonous mushrooms, tit for tat or something like that.

Or just follow Wang Buli's method and pretend to be defeated first, allowing them to capture a lot of poisonous materials.

Today's Mongolians are very poor, so they must put them all away.

However, Xu Da raised the objection, because Bei Yuan was becoming increasingly poor, and all these good things must have been taken away and stored by the Mongolian nobles first, so that it would not be easy for Bei Yuan's troops to be collectively poisoned and lose their combat effectiveness.

Even if it were held for three days, a strong man would still be unable to walk.

By then, if the nobles were poisoned, wouldn’t all the Mongolians below have fled?

Zhu Yuanzhang listened to their discussion and thought that he could slowly mix a little poison into the Goryeo deal and let Emperor Beiyuan leave in advance.

However, Zhu Yuanzhang immediately gave up this idea.

According to the Goryeo envoy, Emperor Beiyuan lived a very hard life and was in poor health. He probably didn't have much time left, so there was no need to poison him anymore.

This strategy is easy to expose, jeopardizes the original intention of weakening the Mongolian Yuan power in the long term, and is unrealistic.

What's more, compared to weakening Beiyuan's strength for a long time, it is much better than replacing them with a young and strong emperor.

It was best to let Li Bala, whom he had put back, inherit the throne. Zhu Yuanzhang had seen this man before, but he had no big ambitions.

It's just that he is a little more youthful and energetic. He has seen many people like this.

It's just that the destruction of Dayuan is Zhu Yuanzhang's deepest wish.

Regardless of what Wang Buli said just now, the Ming Dynasty was the strongest in order to uphold the righteousness of the country, but after all, this world was taken from the Yuan Dynasty, and it also needed to inherit the legal system of the Yuan Dynasty.

The existence of the Northern Yuan Dynasty could easily negate the normal legal system of the Ming Dynasty in a political sense. The country had to be eliminated so that Zhu Yuanzhang could sit back and relax.

"It seems that before conquering Yunnan, I need to set up guard posts on the Yunnan route and send troops to protect the road to avoid the chance of the Yuan Liang King desperately counterattacking and cutting off our Ming Dynasty grain route."

No one has any objection to this, but the Ming Dynasty has a smaller population now.

There are still many places in the north that are vacant and uninhabited.

Now people are moving to Huguang (Guizhou) and other places to fill the gap. Where will the population migrate from?
Zhu Yuanzhang had no intention of asking this group of people. When he returned, he asked Hu Weiyong to try to gather people from his hometown to migrate together. In this way, apart from the different geographical boundaries, customs could be preserved without being too resistant.

"Your Majesty, Prince Consort's sandbox game is very exciting." Xu Da patted the sandbox and said with a smile:

"In addition to Yunnan, should we also attack the north? In the future, whether they attack Liaodong or those from Beiyuan go south to attack us, we can have a response in advance."

"Well, this is a matter for the Governor's Mansion, you can just handle it yourself."

Zhu Yuanzhang also thought this skill was good, and asked them to bring their children to learn it on weekdays.

In the future, you will have to inherit the title and go to the battlefield. You can't just look at the map.

This thing is more intuitive than the map.

Everyone happily agreed. The emperor asked them to cultivate their own heirs. This was also to prepare for the future crown prince's accession to the throne. They felt that they had a clean family.

"I called you here today, not just to see the excitement of this sand table."

Zhu Yuanzhang sat on the main seat and looked around: "I plan to let you replace me to worship Yue Zhenhaidu."

Hearing this, Xu Da and others all looked proud.

Such a good job fell on their heads, which is enough to prove the emperor's trust in them.

Even Tang Shengzong, Fei Ju and others who had been hooking up with Hu Weiyong for a long time were overjoyed.

"The imperial edict will be issued to you in a few days. You will have to run for me then."

Xu Da and others immediately knelt on the ground to express their gratitude, saying that they would definitely live up to His Majesty's trust.

Only Wang Buli, Li Jinglong, Lan Yu and other people who were not selected stood aside.

Li Jinglong wanted to kneel down when he saw so many people kneeling down, but when he saw that Wang Buli didn't move, he stood up straight.

Just now, my father told me to learn more from Wang Buli. Don't always learn from him how to make Ye Qinhuai's reputation known, but learn something useful.

Now he immediately imitated Wang Buli.

As for Lan Yu, she didn't give herself an imperial edict anyway, so why did she kneel down to express gratitude.

Although Wang Buli had never experienced anything like enfeoffing the Five Mountains, he had a question in his mind. Lao Zhu didn't even go to Mount Tai to worship, so he asked Li Wenzhong to take his place.

It is enough to see that after a certain emperor of the Song Dynasty shamelessly went to Mount Tai to enshrine Zen, the status of this project in the hearts of successive emperors plummeted.

After the battle, Lan Yu still put the two proposals together and silently reviewed them.

Zhu Yuanzhang also didn't drink with his old brothers, saying that he would drink together after they came back to avoid any misunderstandings.

Then he took Wang Buli away.

This was Wang Buli's second time sitting on the dragon boat. Without Zhu Biao's company, he seemed very reserved.

He and Lao Zhu also had nothing to talk about.

Zhu Yuanzhang was drinking tea leisurely. Wang Buli knew a lot about some things in Yunnan.

In some of the imperial atlases, there are still large areas of blank space in Yunnan, with no records whatsoever.

The map was also carefully drawn by the envoys to Kunming during these years.

As for some boundaries further south in Yunnan, Ming Dynasty really didn’t have a map in his hand.

We still have to conquer Kunming and get the map.

Or let the locals lead the way to find the defenses and the locations of the chieftains in various places.

Let alone Yunnan, even Guizhou does not draw the number of acres of fields.

"Buli, some areas in Huguang are large grain-producing areas, but the road to the south is becoming more and more difficult. The imperial court has very little control over there, and they are all controlled by the chieftains." Zhu Yuanzhang put down the tea cup in his hand: "I'm worried When the time comes to attack Yunnan, these chieftains will still have some changes, and they will inevitably have to spend some effort to show mercy. "

Wang Buli also put down the tea cup in his hand, pretended to think, and said cautiously: "Your Majesty wants to get rid of the chieftain?"

"Hey, you are always so radical in doing things."

Zhu Yuanzhang quickly asked Wang Buli not to think too much in this regard, lest he himself would be led into a ditch by him.

The population under the control of the chieftains actually paid very little taxes to the Ming Dynasty, and some of them had language barriers and could not communicate with the Han people outside.

Zhu Yuanzhang didn't have that much energy to make them understand what he said, he just needed to control these heads.

"What I mean is to move a group of people over and control the main roads, so that we can feel at ease."

"Your Majesty is right. This kind of thing cannot be accomplished overnight. A large number of Han people must move there to influence that group of people to speak Chinese."

"Well, I will set up a health school in the health center when the time comes, so that the children of military families can have the opportunity to study."

Zhu Yuanzhang talked about his idea and also wanted to train more doctors.

After all, there are many poisonous insects and ferocious beasts there. When the copper mine is discovered, it is inevitable that no one will take it seriously. The dangerous road is protected by the Ming Guardsmen, which makes him feel more at ease.

Even if copper coins could be minted locally in Yunnan, Zhu Yuanzhang would not allow it. He had already made up his mind that he would have people transport them to Nanjing and have them minted under his nose.

After all, those who minted treasure banknotes under his eyes dared to take it privately. Once they were thousands of miles away in Yunnan, what else would they not dare to do?
Wang Buli listened to Zhu Yuanzhang's ideas and found that sometimes Lao Zhu was quite romantic.

It's probably because he didn't live a happy childhood, and some of his governance policies were a bit like his childhood fantasies.

"What's my idea?"

"I can't find any big problems." Wang Buli nodded slightly and said:
"It's just that once there are too many people in the family, it will be very difficult to produce per mu in some places in Huguang. This loophole needs to be filled."

"How to make up for it?"

"You can get new fields only by dividing your family. When there is no more land to divide in this county, you have to find another way." Wang Buli picked up the tea cup and took a sip:
"It has been more than a hundred years since then. Who can predict how the future will develop?"

Zhu Yuanzhang glanced at Wang Buli with a half-smile, and just said lightly:

"How can people not see the situation a hundred years from now? As long as future generations act step by step."

"Your Majesty, did Kublai Khan see the scene a hundred years later?"

Wang Buli put down the water cup in his hand, refilling tea for Zhu Yuanzhang and then for himself:

“So I think this kind of thing is all delusion and everyone is an independent individual.

Who dares to be sure that future generations will act in accordance with the rules they set?
If this kind of thing really happened, then Great Qin would not die in its second generation. "

Zhu Yuanzhang felt that Wang Buli's words seemed to know something, but it sounded like he didn't know, and he kept using examples from the previous dynasty.

So he asked tentatively again: "Do you think our descendants will not live up to expectations?"

Wang Buli did not answer directly, but asked:
"Your Majesty, I think you wake up earlier than a chicken, work more than a donkey, and go to bed later than a dog. How many emperors from ancient times to the present can catch up with you?"

"Haha."

Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help but shake his head. Wang Buli's description was absolutely perfect.

"We have never seen it before. I heard that Qin Shihuang had to read one hundred and twenty kilograms of memorials every day, but all of them were bamboo slips. In comparison, he didn't deal with as many things as we did."

Wang Buli spread his hands and said: "So why does your majesty think that your descendants can maintain your perseverance in diligent administration?

Many people subconsciously want to have fun. When you become the emperor, you are the lord of the world and the most respected person. However, you make him worse than a dog or a donkey. How many people are willing to do this in such a day?

Even though I was a petty official, I worked so hard in the county government just to live a good life as quickly as possible.

Father-in-law, this is human nature. "

Zhu Yuanzhang was silent for a long time.

He has always felt that he can do it. Why can't future generations endure such hard work when they have such a high starting point?

Why can't they appreciate the high-level pleasure of governing the world and enjoy those extremely low-level pleasures?

What is this if it’s not about sacrificing the basics for the sake of the bottom?
"You mean a lot of people don't have big ambitions!"

Wang Buli nodded slightly. Even though the world is a huge grass-roots team, many people are ordinary people who are getting by.

How many people dare to do it and are willing to do it?

"Even if you become an emperor, you still have a strong desire for pleasure. This is unavoidable."

Wang Buli chuckled: "What's more, who dares to dissuade the emperor from enjoying himself?
Your Majesty has always longed for the appearance of loyal ministers, but are loyal ministers really that easy to be? "

Zhu Yuanzhang was stunned.

Which emperor wouldn't desire to have a large number of loyal ministers?

In this way, his rule will be more stable, and there is no need to guard against this one to check and balance that one, just for fear that they will unite to threaten his rule.

"So, it's just wishful thinking on my part?"

"That's not true." Wang Buli leaned on the side of the sedan, trying to make himself as comfortable as possible:
“People with great ambitions must have their own pursuits after all.

Instead of regretting not doing this thing before you die, it is better to do it first. Regardless of success or failure, it is best to succeed. If you fail, you will not regret it before you die. "

"You're not very young, so what you said makes sense."

Zhu Yuanzhang laughed and wondered if Wang Buli had seen the books left by the former immortals in the fairyland and recorded them in his heart.

"The county government is really an easy place to train people."

Wang Buli felt that he was quite innocent before, but his two and a half years of experience in the county government also made him change a lot.

Nowadays, official power can intimidate a group of people without deliberately revealing it.

"I plan to wait until the hero is a little older and let him go to the county government to practice a little, so that he will not be easily deceived by his ministers when he succeeds to the throne in the future."

"what?"

Wang Buli was shocked by the news.

Mainly because he felt that it would be difficult for Zhu Xiongying, his eldest grandson, to live to adulthood. He might not even be able to break through the age of eight.

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at the look on Wang Buli's face, and it was difficult to judge whether he knew about this.

"Why, do you think what I said is wrong?"

"Xiongying is still young, so he should play with the sand more. I'm not in a hurry to train him. After all, my uncle is still very young. It would be better for him to train him."

Zhu Yuanzhang sighed: "We know our physical condition, how many years can we work so hard?

In the future, Biao'er won't be the one doing all the work for us. How can he spare more time to teach Xiongying? I have to do it! "

Wang Buli nodded slightly.

He has received news that Zhu Biao has now officially become the executive deputy emperor of the Ming Dynasty.

Many matters can be handed over to the prince first, and then sent to Zhu Yuanzhang for his decision.

Today, Zhu Yuanzhang was able to come here for such a long time to watch the cricket fighting competition, all thanks to the support of Prince Zhu Biao.

He has been dealing with government affairs and so on, so he can't see this excitement.

"What my father-in-law said makes sense."

Listening to Wang Buli's agreement, Zhu Yuanzhang also smiled and said:

"I hope you will teach your nephew more in the future, so that he will not be deceived by his subordinates when he takes power in the future."

"sure."

Wang Buli thought that Lao Zhu's idea was useless. In the future, he would welcome Lao Si to the capital and ascend the throne as emperor.

However, Wang Buli felt that Zhu Yuanzhang did not need to be too sad, because many of his ideas were useless.

Wang Buli's words were impeccable, making it difficult for Zhu Yuanzhang to judge.

But the seeds of doubt don’t disappear so easily.

He began to close his eyes and meditate. He still had plenty of time, so there was no need to force him like this.

If Wang Buli is shocked, this boy will be more cautious in the future and will not go to the fairyland. Then how can he see the future of Ming Dynasty?

Originally, Zhu Yuanzhang felt that the time he stayed in the fairyland was too short. It would be great if he could extend the time longer.

It's just that Zhu Yuanzhang would not express his thoughts to Wang Buli.

Zhu Yuanzhang only shared this secret with Queen Ma and Zhu Biao.

As for whether the fourth child should let him know, Zhu Yuanzhang is still considering it.
