Daming: the Bear Child of the Yongle Family

Chak and the others became confused in an instant. Looking at the herdsmen in the city, they seemed to have completely integrated into this life, and they became no different from the people of Daming, and a bad premonition emerged in their hearts.

"broken."

He suddenly turned his horse's head and galloped towards the gate of the city, and everyone hurriedly drove away without realizing what had happened.

Chak hurriedly found the leader and reported the matter, but he didn't know that the leader had already received some rumors and sent someone to check, and the information he got was almost the same as his.

"These sly people from the Central Plains! I knew they didn't have such a good heart, and it was this idea that I never wanted to fight."

The leader was furious, pacing back and forth in the tent, his eyes full of anxiety, "Presumably other people have also received the news, I must get in touch with them quickly!"

It didn't take long for the leaders of the most powerful forces on the grassland to gather together. Compared with their relaxed expressions before, their expressions were a little dignified at this moment.

"I just said how the emperor of Daming could easily put down the meat to his mouth!"

"It's all my fault that we didn't have the heart to be on guard. We actually asked them to build the track. It's a shame that we didn't see their hidden evil intentions."

Several sweaters were annoyed, but by the time they realized that something was wrong, it was too late, and it had been a few months before the track was built.

And in such a short period of time, the proportion of their population loss is relatively serious, and the cattle, sheep and horses have shrunk a lot, and these are still secondary.

Coupled with the impact of trade, the prairie people who used to be fierce and fierce are now yearning for a comfortable life. This way of boiling frogs in warm water and disintegrating from the inside can be described as a clever way.

A certain grumpy sweat punched the table, "If Daming comes over later, I'm afraid these people don't even know how to ride a horse."

Thinking of that picture, everyone's faces were very wonderful.

"To know how long it will take, give Daming a little more time, I'm afraid it's really possible."

"Then what to do now."

A group of people looked at each other and made it clear that this was a conspiracy. They knew it was a trap, but they had to get in. Even if they could control it, the other herdsmen only saw the benefits and were fascinated by all kinds of sugar-coated cannons. .

"Should we ban trading?"

As soon as this method was proposed, it was immediately rejected.

"Let's not say whether it will cause resentment and resistance from the herdsmen, we can't get past the barrier of Daming alone."

After all, the tribes in the grasslands are still nominally surrendering to Daming.

"I really don't know who came up with this plan."

Everyone sighed with emotion, it was like a sharp knife was inserted into their hearts quickly and accurately, and they were caught off guard, and they also threw at the mouse.

"It's too late to stop it now."

Everyone has become jealous of these cities, and there is no plan to get the best of both worlds after talking for a long time.

"If we let them develop like this, I'm afraid that our territory will be swallowed up by Daming sooner or later. We must not let it go."

Everyone understands this truth, but the strength of the Ming Dynasty makes them jealous, not to mention that they have signed an agreement, and they have no reason to start a war. .

Chapter 263

Compared with the worry in the grassland, Zhu Di was in a good mood. The most intuitive expression was that when he was in the court, his genial appearance seemed to be a different person.

As long as it wasn't a principled mistake, he would take it lightly, which was something he didn't dare to think about in the past. Civil and military officials have long been accustomed to his harsh winter and snow. Not fit.

"There is the latest news from the border. Now that trade is prosperous, it has also attracted many nomads from the grasslands to settle down in the city. The population in the city continues to expand. It is really a big happy event for us."

What Zhu Di is looking forward to most every day now is to receive a transcript from the border. The same is true for civil and military officials. Whenever something is reported, even if it is bad news, they will not be as worried as before.

"Congratulations, Your Majesty, this is a good thing for the border."

Although it is obviously unrealistic to want to absorb most of the grassland population at once, but the accumulation will add up, and from the side, it is a good way to reduce their combat power.

To say that apart from Zhu Di, which of the civil and military officials is the happiest, it is none other than the Minister of the Household.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, the tax revenue in the past few months has been considerable. I believe that it will not be long before the treasury, which was previously lost due to the war, will be enriched again."

At this time, he changed his previous image of bowing his head and shrinking his head, probably because he had money in his pockets, and he was not panic in his heart. silver wire.

As we all know, the Minister of the Household is the most stingy. Asking him to pay a penny is like killing him. It is obvious that it costs a lot to buy this outfit, and the officials are looking at it.

Having made good friends with him, he couldn't help but tease: "I can see that Mr. Li is very proud of the spring breeze recently."

"Where, it is thanks to His Majesty Shengming."

At these times, the Minister of the Ministry of Finance is a soft hand to count silver, and he almost wakes up laughing from the pile of money from a dream every day.

The main person in charge of the track is Zhu Gaoyu, but he is also fortunate to assist him, and some people try to follow his path. Although the gifts are not as exaggerated as Liang Wangfu, they are quite impressive.

"The various trade activities generated by the orbit, plus the post-transaction taxes at the border, and so on, the sum of the money received in the past few months is comparable to the past half a year ¨"!"

You must know that this is still just three months, and the track has not yet spread all over the country, only in the capital and several other densely populated and rich cities.

The minister of the household reported a number, and everyone couldn't help gasping for breath.

Looking at the carriages passing by on the track every day, whether it is driving in or out, it is full of goods, and there is almost no free time.

Everyone guessed that it should be very profitable, but they didn't have a clear concept. Now I heard what the minister of the Ministry of Finance said, and then I know what is called "Rijindoujin."

"There are so many."

The minister of the household department looked at the crowd with pride, "I believe that this number will increase exponentially over time."

Those big businessmen have all seen the opportunity here, and are ready to wait for the opportunity. All kinds of means are used, and all connections are exhausted, in order to win a place in rail transportation. After all, these are the only rails. universal.

Unexpectedly, their actions turned out to be wrong, stimulating economic growth along the road, forming a virtuous circle. The merchants who traveled between the grasslands and Daming originally took the route of rare goods and could only choose another option under the impact.

"All in all, the emergence of this orbit has not little impact, but it's almost always a positive development."

"I heard that the small cities that the track passes through have now absorbed a lot of foreign population, and the scale has gradually expanded. The original barren land has gradually become richer."

After listening to everyone's report, Zhu Di's expression became more and more satisfied, "All this is thanks to King Liang's credit."

Zhu Gaoyu was once again picked up and praised, and then he was given a bunch of rewards. When he saw King Zhao and King Han, he was jealous.

The brothers have been extraordinarily silent these days. Even if they wanted to do something, they knew that Zhu Gaoyu was at the peak of the limelight, and it was not appropriate to confront him.

"By the way, about the leaders of the grasslands, what's going on."

"Sent spies from the past to report, there is nothing unusual for the time being."

Zhu Di closed the memorial, and his eyes showed a bit of contemplation, "Is there nothing unusual..."

Among the officials, there were many who were flattering, and when they saw this, they said loudly: "The sage is mighty, and his reputation has spread all over the world. Those barbarians on the grasslands were afraid that they would have been scared out of their courage in the last battle. "

As soon as he made a sound, there were many officials beside him, who heard Zhu Gaoyu roll his eyes.

Zhu Zhanji hesitated to speak, but looking at Zhu Di's still excited appearance, he murmured, but he still didn't say it. He leaned over to Zhu Gaoyu and lowered his voice and said:

"...This is different from the news I received."

Zhu Gaoyu glanced at him sideways, only to hear him continue: "There are many spies in the grasslands near the border city, and even the city has recently become more sneaky."

"Your news is quite well-informed."

Zhu Zhanji smiled, "Where can I compare to the little uncle, presumably the little uncle should know it too."

Zhu Gaoyu really knew that those people in the grassland were not fools, and they couldn't see anything in a short time, but after a long time, they would come back to them.

It seems that the policy of Huairou is actually a ruthless knife from all forces in the grasslands.

"A soft knife is a knife no matter how soft it is."

Zhu Zhanji was about to speak, but Zhu Di saw the two whispering, "What are you mumbling about discussing?"

He had no choice but to say: "(Nuo Li's) my fourth uncle and I agreed that the grassland will move in the near future."

"It doesn't matter, they are no longer able to fight." Zhu Di disagreed.

But the fact is almost the same. In just a few months, the grasslands did not come back from recuperation, otherwise they would not choose to stand still.

"I have decided to go to the grassland border for inspection."

Zhu Di suddenly dropped a bomb, which shocked everyone for a long time.

"Dare to ask how many people His Majesty intends to lead."

"It's an inspection and it doesn't require too many people. Eight hundred soldiers are enough."

Even if Zhu Di was a Ming monarch, he had committed the same mistakes that most monarchs would make, inflating his ego. At this moment, he was delighted that the grassland showed its decline.

Hearing this, Yu Qian immediately said: "Report to Your Majesty, this matter is absolutely impossible, even if the grassland is weak now, and it is a toothless tiger for the time being, it will not change the fact that it is a fierce beast.".

Chapter 264

"Please think twice, Your Majesty."

Civil and military officials spoke in unison, no matter how they viewed the grasslands before, but they had the same idea that the grasslands at this time were not suitable for inspection.

The last time Zhu Di was seriously injured on his personal expedition to the grassland, he almost changed the situation. If Zhu Gaoyu hadn't pulled him back from the gate of hell, I'm afraid that the capital would be caught in a bloody storm again.

Now that they have finally been happy for a while, they really don't dare to gamble.

Yang Shiqi also stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, as King Liang and his grandson said, the attitude of the grasslands is ambiguous now. Even if they have surrendered, it is difficult to guarantee that they will not be courtiers."

As soon as this statement came out, it was approved by most of the people.

"Yeah, although the grasslands are declining, it doesn't mean that their ambitions will decrease. If they do something in it, it will be hard to guard against."

No matter how the civil and military officials tried to persuade him, Zhu Di had already made up his mind and waved his hand: "I have made up my mind, there is no need to discuss this matter, and now the grasslands simply do not have the ability to send troops, so forgive them and they will not dare to make trouble."

In the midst of the opposition, Zhu Gaojiu, the king of Han, stood up, "The emperor is the real dragon and the emperor, and the principle of inspection grass should be as it should be, and those grassland barbarians will be frightened by the wind, just to use this to publicize the prestige of our Ming Dynasty and demonstrate the model of a generation of holy masters.

These words just spoke to Zhu Di's heart.

In layman's terms, whenever an emperor has made some achievements, don't he want the world to know it, publicize it well, and be admired by thousands of people, even Zhu Di, who is at this age, can't avoid it.

"I don't need the emperor to personally inspect Weiming to promote my dynasty. If you don't dissuade King Han of such a dangerous thing, it's fine. How can you add fuel to the fire?"

Yu Qian glared at King Zhao, and he almost didn't write the words ulterior motives on his face.

Zhu Gaojiu said coldly: "Master Yu is too timid, not to mention that I will protect the emperor, and I will never give those young people a chance to take advantage."

Seeing that the two of them were about to quarrel again, Zhu Di frowned and said, "Enough! King Han said it very well, you don't have to worry about it."

Seeing his determined appearance, everyone knew that it was useless to persuade him. Zhu Di led the [-] followers to inspect the grassland, and handed over to Zhu Gaojiu and Zhu Gaojiu to select them.
