Traveled through Daming, but was punished by the old Zhu Shizu

It’s not enough if you don’t fight, which is the fundamental reason why Zhu Di was forced to guard the gate of the country after he succeeded to the throne.

But Zhu Di relied purely on his own ability to keep Daming's dilapidated house, but what if Zhu Di died?

As a result, Daming lost its northern barrier and was fought in a civil fortress battle that nearly wiped out the country.

Li Shanchang's fingers were a little numb. Liu Xiu said before that the royal family's finances were dragged down, and that matter was resolved not long ago. In a blink of an eye, there was another situation of insufficient military resources, which was no less serious than the royal family's financial collapse. .

You know, the royal family can wait more than ten years to drag down the finances, but if there is not enough soldiers, Bei Yuan will fight, and they will be beaten to death in minutes.

Old Zhu looked at Li Shanchang, and sighed, "Tell me, why is my Ming Dynasty so fragile compared with the previous dynasty?"

Li Shan paused for a long time, and said solemnly, "Your Majesty, Qin Shihuang relied on the family property accumulated by successive Qin kings to rule the world, and the fate of the Han Dynasty is only because Han Gaozu took over the great Qin's foundation."

"When Xiao He entered Xianyang, he took all the laws of the Great Qin Dynasty, and the Han Dynasty inherited the Qin Dynasty. It can be said that the Han Dynasty is just the Qin Dynasty with a different surname."

"Before the founding of the Tang Dynasty, the foundation was also extremely strong, and the same was true for the subsequent dynasties."

There was hatred in Lao Zhu's eyes, and he said bitterly, "That is to say, what we snatched from Bei Yuan was a mess?"

Li Shanchang sighed, "Yes, Your Majesty. In the early years of Hongwu, there were ten households and nine empties. The world was in depression, and the people were in dire straits. It was hard to get back."

Old Zhu looked at Li Shanchang, "Is there a way to break the situation?"

Li Shanchang's eyes flashed, and he said, "Your Majesty, yes."

"Oh?" Zhu Yuanzhang unconsciously leaned forward, "Let's talk about it."

"There are soldiers." Li Shanchang said firmly, "There are soldiers, there are elite soldiers! Having enough elite soldiers is the only way out! Use Liu Xiu's method to accumulate food and raise elite soldiers!"

"But..." Li Shan paused for a long time, "Liu Xiu's method needs to be raised, and the effect is too slow. Beiyuan people will not give us time. If we want to solve the urgent need, I am stupid, and there is really nothing I can do."

Lao Zhu twitched his lips, and looked at the other courtiers, "Is there any way you can get more soldiers to stop the group of Tartars?"

The officials were silent for a while, after all, this is completely impossible,

Because conscription is definitely not a simple matter. If all the young and middle-aged are conscripted away, the main force of that kind of land will be gone. It will take a long time to give birth to a new generation of young and middle-aged people. During this period, the national tax revenue will increase. decline in magnitude.

Moreover, after conscription, raising soldiers is also very expensive.

Training, salary, food, weapons, armor, horses,

Name one at random, it is a bottomless pit of burning money,

The soldiers brought out by Fu Youde and Lan Yu are the last bit squeezed out with all the power of Daming.

If you think about conscription again...

Sorry, there's really not a drop left.

Chapter 97 Zhu Di: I want to go home!

The fourth child felt cold all over when he heard it. He, who led soldiers since he was a child, understood better than others what kind of predicament Daming was facing now.

Moreover, the Tartars in the north are very restless. Before winter, there will definitely be a decisive battle!

Zhu Di looked at his elder brother, thinking that his elder brother would also look sad like him, but the strange thing was that his elder brother's face was flat, as if he hadn't heard Lao Zhu's words at all.

Zhu Di felt strange, secretly thought,

Brother, why are you in no hurry?He has a way?Or is it already... broken?

Lao Zhu coughed twice, breaking the dead silence of the officials, his eyes flashed cunning, and he said calmly, "Then why don't we start with conscription?"

Xu Da, Feng Sheng, Li Shanchang, Zhu Di and others were taken aback when they heard the words.

Don't start with conscription? !What's the meaning? !

Is it...

The fourth child lost his voice, "Could it be to let the soldiers survive more?!"

crackle!

The fourth child's scalp was numb, and a flash of lightning exploded in his mind. He suddenly remembered that on the day of the family banquet, Liu Xiu prescribed a prescription to treat wounded soldiers!

Because this matter was too unimaginable, the fourth brother didn't take it to heart, and he had long forgotten it in the past few days. Lao Zhu's words completely reminded him of it!

And Lao Zhu made so many preparations early in the morning, it was definitely not for nothing!There is only one possibility!

Liu Xiu's prescription works so well!

After thinking of this, the fourth child was as excited as if he had been electrified, and when he thought of returning to Yandi, Liu Xiu could be used by him...

The fourth child is already too happy.

Prince Zhu Biao took a peek at the fourth child, and sneered in his heart,

That is to borrow you for a few days.

The princes also reacted one after another, and the figure of Liu Xiu flashed in their minds at the same time.

But the officials in the court hall didn't know about it at all. They looked at Lao Zhu stupidly, not knowing what kind of medicine Lao Zhu was selling in his gourd.

Li Shanchang asked puzzledly, "Your Majesty, I'm stupid, what do you mean by that?"

Old Zhu didn't hold back anymore, and raised three fingers, "There is a prescription for treating wounded soldiers. I asked Muying to try it. It can make wounded soldiers survive [-]% more, and they can go to battle again."

After Lao Zhu said it, his words were no less than a big lightning strike on everyone. There was a dead silence in the hall.

Lao Zhu looked at the expressions of the ministers with a smile, and felt secretly refreshed.

I don't know how long it took, the court suddenly exploded!

"Impossible! Absolutely impossible!"

"Ninety percent of the wounded soldiers died, and basically they would die if they were hacked. How could it be possible to save so many?!"

"But if what His Majesty said is true, then the problem of the source of troops must be solved! These old soldiers are much better than the new recruits!"

"This... is this true?!"

Old Zhu sneered, and the eunuch beside him immediately said sharply,

"Silence!"

The ministers fell silent unconsciously, but their eyes were still full of puzzlement and doubts.

Li Shanchang took a step forward and said excitedly, "Your Majesty, this... this..."

Old Zhu snorted coldly, "You are not joking."

As soon as Lao Zhu said this, all the officials in the court believed it. Li Shanchang trembled excitedly, "God bless Daming! This is clearly a prescription from heaven for His Majesty! If you can survive this winter! In the coming year, just start farming , you don’t have to worry about the source of troops anymore!”

"Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!"

"Huh! Let the wounded soldier live [-]% longer?! Immortal art!"

"It must be the immortal who came to help His Majesty!"

"And have you ever thought about it, these veterans also save the cost of training! There is a lot of benefit and no harm!"

"God bless Daming! God bless Your Majesty!"

Old Zhu laughed and said, "This prescription is neither given by heaven nor by immortals..."

The officials were dumbfounded.

Li Shanchang shook his hands uncontrollably, and subconsciously flashed two words in his mind,

What the fuck? !

It won't be him again!

"You also know this person, that kid who went to the north...Liu Xiu."

After Lao Zhu said Liu Xiu's name, he unconsciously raised his chest and his face was full of pride.

"Liu Xiu?! It's him again!"

"Damn it, why is Liu Xiu so capable?"

"Fortunately, he is not an official, otherwise, what else would I do?"

"That kid is just good at tricks, don't worry, he won't go far."

Li Shanchang's eyes darkened, his heart was completely pierced, and he wailed in his heart,

Liu Xiu!Who the hell are you!

Why can't I get rid of your shadow after leaving the capital? !

Feng Sheng's eyes flashed, his dull eyes were full of thoughts,

Is it Liu Xiu again? !

Xu Da trembled unconsciously, suddenly felt fear,

This future son-in-law is probably even more terrifying than I imagined!

"Hahahaha, Sanchao!" Old Zhu waved his sleeves, feeling extremely happy.

The officials were so shocked that they could only go home and digest it slowly.

The princes saluted and withdrew from the court.

The second child, the third child, and the fifth child got together, looked at the fourth child who was walking in front, and gritted their teeth,

"Look at how proud the fourth child is, if he had a tail, I guess he would have raised it to the sky!"

"Hehe," Lao Wu sneered twice, "It doesn't matter, I will make a move when it matters."

"You made a fart, everyone has already arrived in Beidi! Can the fourth child spit it out? Don't forget the nickname of the fourth child, Zhu Xiaohei!"

"Fuck! I'm back in the feudal kingdom!" The second child couldn't stand it anymore, "The fourth child disgusts me."

The fifth child echoed, "I'm going back to the feudal kingdom too, and I'll be leaving tomorrow. Anyway, the matter of Tuo Bian is pretty much the same."

The third child also nodded.

Prince Zhu Biao quickly caught up with the fourth child,

"Fourth, wait!"

"Big brother!" The fourth child was refreshed, looking at the perfect big brother, he felt relieved.

I can't compare to you in anything, but I have Liu Xiu!
