The eunuch laughed and said, "How can you, a stupid person like me, know this?"
At this time, the eunuch who passed the order also came back. The two eunuchs were both tall and strong. Naturally, they were incomparable to the guards in the palace, but they were far stronger than most ordinary people in the Ming Dynasty. After all, they were also slaves in the palace. At least
You can't be hungry.
After dealing with the affairs of Goryeo, Zhu Biao was also ready to digest, so he held the tea cup on the back of the soft chair and said: "I have made a pot and I can't finish it. You two can also taste it, and accompany me by the way."
Let’s talk about it.”
"Slaves dare not..."
"Um?"
"My slaves kowtow to thank you for your kindness."
The two of them did not dare to sit down and drink. They stood in front of Zhu Biao's desk and held teacups with joy on their faces. It was not that they were looking forward to drinking this top-quality tribute tea, but they were excited to have such dignity, not only when they went out but also when they went out.
It’s something to brag about, and his own level should be able to follow suit.
You must know that among the slaves, I have heard that Liu Jin and Grand Eunuch Liu had such treatment. Not even Liu An or Zhao Huaian who often served in the Wenhua Palace had ever received such treatment.
Along with the small talk, the cup of tea was quickly finished. The two young eunuchs were not too old. One was named Fugui and the other was named Fuduo. They were named by the eunuch in charge who taught them the rules. I hope Gui
People listened happily and shouted smoothly.
They all entered the palace four years ago. Fugui was sold into the palace by his parents, while Fuduo's parents died on the way to escape. When they arrived in the capital, they could no longer survive. They sought a way out on their own, and luckily they were chosen.
Otherwise, he would have probably starved to death.
Zhu Biao has developed the ability to read people over the years. These two are not very smart, and their talents are completely incomparable with Liu Jin. Fortunately, stupid people also have advantages. They have a steady and down-to-earth temperament. After some training,
It's also usable.
As he gradually comes to power, there will be more and more important political matters inside and outside. The number of eunuchs around him will also increase, and there will be more laundry responsibilities on his shoulders. If they are all from Liu Jin's faction, even if Liu Jin is reliable, the people below him will
My godsons may be restless.
There must always be an alternative plan, both in the court and in the palace. Zhu Biao has made a decision in his heart and will not think about it anymore. He believes that Liu Jin will understand how to do it and how to cooperate.
When Zhu Biao was about to read a few letters, there was a movement at the door. Fugui immediately bowed and walked over quickly, and soon he led a delicate palace maid in.
"This servant pays homage to Your Highness and brings Tremella Fungus and Lotus Seed Soup as ordered by the Crown Princess."
Zhu Biao continued to read the letter without raising his head, and said casually: "Put it down. Princess, can you please rest?"
"Reporting to Your Highness, the Crown Princess has just put her two royal grandsons to sleep, and learned that Your Highness is still busy with government affairs in the Wenhua Palace, so she specially ordered the slaves to bring soup."
"Reply to the Crown Princess and tell her that I will come over when I am done with my work."
"promise"
Zhu Biao basically slept in the Changluohua Palace for half of a month. This was also to give his legitimate wife the honor and dignity. It was a taboo to spoil a concubine and destroy his wife. As the eldest son of the royal family, Zhu Biao set an example for the world's clans.
, naturally will not be ignored.
However, Chang Luohua sent someone to deliver soup at this time. He probably heard about Liu Jin's punishment. This was the first time for Liu Jin in so many years, so he naturally wanted to ask what the situation was.
Zhu Biao opened the letter, and letters were sent to Guo Chong, Li Jin, Zhang Fan, Tang Shizhong and others. Most of them are now serving in Shaanxi and Gansu. Although the disaster there has passed, the food shortage is still serious before the summer and autumn harvests.
It is said that there are people in the court who are easy to do, and it is even more difficult for their local officials to report to the court and ask the Ministry of Revenue to adjust grains. After all, the current Minister of the Ministry of Revenue is famous for being stubborn, and only the prince has said hello, and they can finally
Quickly deploy food.
Zhu Biao rubbed his eyes and sighed. He couldn't make ends meet. Of course he could mobilize the food from the Ministry of Revenue, but it wasn't just Shaanxi and Gansu that were short of food in all the states in the world. They were all his ministers. Naturally, he couldn't be too partial. Everyone had to get some.
.
He could only arrange as much as possible to plug the big holes, but for the small holes, Guo Chong and others would have to find a solution on their own. The place was difficult and the court was difficult, so just patch it up and get through it.
But the Ministry of Industry must also be urged to study grain production and fertilizers. Food is the foundation of rule. Now that the world is stable, the Ming Dynasty's population will inevitably experience a blowout, so preparations must be made early.
Zhu Biao wrote back and sternly reprimanded them. He had to worry about everything and needed to be deployed by the court, so what should he do to support officials like them? The important military and political officials in Shaanxi and Gansu were all under the East Palace. The local military and political power was in their hands but there was no one to support them, so they could discuss it on their own.
Ways to solve problems.
Zhu Biao understood their difficulties, but he could not allow them to do nothing and just wait for the court to provide relief. There were always more solutions than difficulties. With him supporting them, the right path would not work, and the muddy path would not be able to find a way out?
Just like the navy's food and grass supply, which is a huge amount every year, Zhu Biao not only asked the Southeast Asian countries to provide it, but also provided food and salary for the coastal guards in Guangdong and Fujian.
The Japanese pirates were powerful, ferocious and cruel, and they were all beasts like hungry wolves. Seeing that they could not get any benefits from the Ming Dynasty in the past two years, they turned their attention to Goryeo and the Southeast Asian countries. Without the Ming Dynasty to protect them from the wind and rain, they and the Japanese invaders last year and
The damage caused by infestation during the first few months of spring has been heavy.
That is to say, it was better after Wu Zhen, Marquis of Jinghai, led the navy to fulfill his promise. As for those small countries that were unwilling to sign an agreement with the Ming Dynasty, needless to say, as weak persimmons, two countries had already been destroyed, and the Japanese pirates were hungry.
Anxious beasts, they do not have the wisdom to stop when enough is enough and hide it with a good knife.
Nowadays, the two countries of Luzon and Bo Ni are still able to hold on, and others are already eagerly contacting the Ming Dynasty, willing to provide food and wages to the Kingdom of Heaven, hoping to receive the blessing of the Ming Dynasty, but they still underestimated the cruelty of the Japanese pirates.
crazy.
Luzon is rich in gold and has abundant products. It is suitable for growing millet and wheat. The people eat fish and shrimps, boil the sea for salt, brew sugarcane for wine, and weave bamboo for cloth. The climate is always hot, and there is a pearl pond. Looking at it at night, the light floats on the water.
, the natives trade pearls with others.
The country of Weni has jurisdiction over fourteen states, with a capital of ten thousand residents. It has prosperous agriculture and is rich in dipterocarp. Its people boil the sea for salt and brew rice for wine. The king's house is covered with beetle leaves and the houses of the people are covered with grass.
There is no wheat in the land, but there are hemp rice, sheep, chickens and fish. There is no silk. Cloth is woven with gibe flowers, and they like to drink coconut wine.
These two countries are now considered powerful and quite prestigious among the Nanyang countries. They are also the most resistant to the Ming Dynasty's navy going south, probably because they are worried that the Ming Dynasty will affect their interests in Nanyang.
However, the world is so vast that it cannot be controlled by two small barbarian countries. The navy has already moved south and will be able to take root in less than two years. By then, Yunnan must have been recovered, and both land and sea routes will be accessible. The Ming Dynasty will be able to
To truly demonstrate the majesty of the heavenly kingdom, the rise and fall of kingdoms can only be achieved with the emperor's thought.
Instead of trying to appease the Ming Dynasty like now, although it is the nominal suzerainty, even Annan, which is closest to the Ming Dynasty, does not care about the Ming Dynasty envoys, and even dares to invade the Chinese territory when the heroes are competing. How wanton is this.
If given the chance, Zhu Biao would not give up on occupying Annan. If Annan succeeded, the Ming Dynasty could control Champa City, Siam, and Chenla in the near distance, and Manchuria and Sumatra, Old Port, and Kuala Lumpur near the peninsula in the distance.
Wow, that's the real way to take root in the country.
Zhu Biao opened the last letter, and Tang Ding reported the situation in Japan. The Northern and Southern Dynasties were in turmoil and wars continued, and natural disasters occurred frequently. Even he almost died in a major earthquake.
Zhu Biao was also frightened by this. Tang Ding was the top priority, and his troops were alone overseas. Although Lan Yu had gone, it was impossible to control the overall situation in such a short time. The composition of Tang Ding's department was complicated, not only
The soldiers of the Ming Dynasty also included Nanyang people and a large number of Japanese warriors.
If Tang Ding dies suddenly and military power is not handed over smoothly, it is likely that those from the Eastern and Southern Dynasties will take advantage of the situation and divide it. After all, it is just a foreign force that has been recruited. No one in the upper class will not think about how to solve the problem after the war.
Fortunately, God bless the Ming Dynasty, and Tang Ding is not dead. As long as it is not so sudden, with Lan Yu's ability, he will be able to open up a situation soon, and then it will be much safer.
In fact, Zhu Biao trusts Lan Yu more than Tang Ding. Tang Ding's ability is good, but it is still inferior to Lan Yu. Especially for this kind of chaos, Lan Yu is better at dealing with it. One is stable and the other is development.
It couldn't be more appropriate for the leader to focus on development.
