Jinling, Zhu Di's mood has been a little erratic recently, sometimes furious and sometimes calm.

At this time, he was holding a memorial and was furious when he saw it.

"Rebellious son! Rebellious son!"

Seeing that Zhu Di's beard was blowing, Hu Guang quickly persuaded him a few words.

Zhu Di waved the memorial and said, "The so-called chieftain rebellion is only more than a thousand people. The rebellious son was wiped out in just two days, but he actually destroyed another chieftain. Mu Sheng complained, saying that the other chieftains wanted the Ming Dynasty to give an explanation."

Yang Rong raised his eyebrows and said, "Your Majesty, why should you worry? Those chieftains are just bullying the weak and afraid of the strong. With the shock of His Highness the King of Han, I believe they will be more peaceful in the future."

Zhu Di said angrily: "I don't know, but this rebellious son went from Jiaozhi to Yunnan. Do you want to come back?"

Speaking of this, several auxiliary ministers no longer interfere.

But everyone knows that the King of Han has been in Jinling for a long time, so he got the opportunity to go out, and he immediately started to go wild like a wild horse who had been locked up for several years.

After venting his anger, Zhu Di picked up the following memorial and read it.

After reading the memorial, Zhu Di pondered: "Xinghe Bo's memorial said that the entire Jiaozhi area was pacified. How long have the people from the Ministry of Rites been gone?"

Lu Zhen didn't say anything. When he heard Zhu Di's question, he bowed and said, "Your Majesty, according to the time, they have almost arrived in Jiaozhou Prefecture."

Hu Guang glanced at Lu Zhen without a trace. Last time, Zhu Di asked Lu Zhen to send someone to issue an order almost made him lose his composure on the spot, but now he looks back on his old look.

It turns out that they are all human spirits! I know that as long as I hug Your Majesty's thighs tightly, it is nothing to suffer a little grievance.

Zhu Di narrowed his eyes and looked at the person below and suddenly said, "Xinghe Bo found a copper mine in Zhili Prefecture. How about the Ministry of Revenue?"

What rice?

This news immediately ignited everyone's emotions. Hu Guang was a little disobedient. He bowed and said, "Your Majesty, how much copper can be produced by the copper ore?"

Zhu Di looked at the ministers with fun and said lightly: "Boss Xinghe invited the old craftsman to take a look. He said that it has high content and large reserves, and there must be tens of millions of kilograms."

Tens of millions of kilograms?

Hu Guang's breathing was a little rapid and he said, "Your Majesty, I think that we should immediately send troops to lock the place and then send people to investigate again. If it is true, your Majesty will have to migrate some people to Jiaozhi."

"Yes, Your Majesty, I want to go to Jiaozhi to have a look."

Xia Yuanji was already so excited that he was tens of millions of kilograms! The copper ore in the Central Plains region is widely distributed, has low grades, and has high mining costs.

And he knew that Fang Xing would not exaggerate on such major events. Apart from the transportation issues of the copper mine, everything was easy to say.

Zhu Di shook his head and did not agree to Xia Yuanji's request.

"Xing Hebo said that mining copper mines is very harmful to people, so he discussed with Huang Fu and summarized all the men with unknown household registration in the same place. Add prisoners of war, and more than 100,000 people can still provide it."

Well!

Hu Guang was stunned. He felt that he was punched by Fang Xing, who was far away from Jiaozhi, and his chest felt stuffy.

Xia Yuanji looked at this from a different perspective: "Your Majesty, even if the copper is produced by Jiaozhi, how can it be transported to the Central Plains? That man's consumption of eating horses is quite good!"

The copper material itself is heavy. If it is used to pull it back to the Central Plains thousands of miles away, the cost will be really touching.

Hu Guang frowned and said, "If this is the case... it can be transported along the way by local garrisons."

This method is good, at least it can minimize the cost and difficulty, the same as the canal model that has been opened.

Yang Shiqi nodded and said, "This is the only way, but you still have to be careful of the thieves along the way."

Copper is money these days. If there is no protection along the way, people will definitely be jealous.

Zhu Di said lightly between his eyebrows: "Xing Hebo proposed to take the sea route, what do you think?"

This was another bomb, and Hu Guang was instantly alert.

A considerable proportion of civil officials believed that Zheng He's fleet should be stopped and went to sea again. Will Fang Xing want to compete with civil officials from another perspective?

Since ancient times, civil officials have never lacked the kind of actions that oppose them in order to oppose others, so they have to think too much about it.

Lu Zhen said calmly: "Your Majesty, the risk of shipping is high. If it is overturned, the loss of copper materials, the loss of sea ships and manpower will be not lower than the cost of land!"

Hu Guang said cautiously: "Your Majesty, I don't know what the copper mine is going to be like at this time. It's too early to say this. Should I wait for the people from the Ministry of Works to investigate before discussing it?"

Xia Yuanji said anxiously: "Your Majesty, whether it is sea or land transportation, the Ministry of Revenue urgently needs a large amount of copper. With these coppers, the reputation of Baochao can be improved step by step!"

The biggest problem with Baochao is that it has no capital, which means making money for nothing. Once there is a little movement, the people of the people are in a hurry to use it, which directly leads to the collapse of value.

Zhu Di said without comment: "This matter is discussed again, but after those Confucian scholars became officials, Jiaozhi's education would inevitably stagnate, Lu Zhen."

"His Majesty."

Lu Zhen only felt bitter in his mouth, and the other party's awakening hatred could almost flood the entire imperial city.

Zhu Di seemed to have not seen the entanglement on Lu Zhen's face and ordered: "The Ministry of Rites recruits some people to go to Jiaozhi and get off as soon as possible."

What else can Lu Zhen say besides bowing and accepting the order.

"Prepare the purpose."

Zhu Di ordered: "Let the troops of the King of Han return to Jiaozhi to guard the capital immediately, and the King of Han returns to Beijing without any mistakes. As for Fang Xing... let him come back."

After Hu Guang drafted the imperial edict, he read it to Zhu Di and then stamped it with a large seal.

"It's all gone." Zhu Di left first with some fatigue.

After Zhu Di left, Hu Guang and Xia Yuanji walked together and asked, "How big is the gap in the Ministry of Revenue?"

Xia Yuanji said bitterly: "There is no shortage of food, but copper coins are needed."

The military camps in the Ming Dynasty had not yet fallen, and the amount of food provided by the military camps each year was huge, which was able to support multiple large-scale projects and Zhu Di's frequent military use.

However, the lack of currency circulating on the market has led to many people using silver secretly, and the officials turned a blind eye to it.

Hu Guang frowned and said, "Jiaozhi produces copper, which is a good thing for me, Daming. You can mint money but not in Jiaozhi."

This is talking about your bottom line.

Xia Yuanji nodded and said, "I know that if I mint money in Jiaozhi, it is suspected that I will not lose my tail."

If you are minting money in Jiaozhi, once someone rebels, it will be a ready-made source of wealth.

Hu Guang looked at the clouds in the sky and said calmly: "It's a storm coming!"

Xia Yuanji knew what this said, so he advised: "Mr. Hu, isn't it good for everyone to discuss state affairs calmly?"

Hu Guang looked back at Xia Yuanji, shook his head and said, "The way is different, I will leave first."

The Tao is different! It is different again!

Xia Yuanji looked at Hu Guang's firm back and felt that he and Fang Xing were the same people, and they were all persisting for the Taoist tradition in his heart.

No one is wrong!

What's wrong?

When the news reached Fangjiazhuang, Zhang Shuhui and Xiaobai were happily preparing to go to Tianjie Temple to burn incense to repay the Buddha's kindness to protect his peace.

The teachers and students of the academy are also looking forward to this.
