To be honest, neither Zhu Di nor anyone else had ever thought that Japanese pirates would be called the "biggest threat" by the video producer Su Qian.
Queen Xu asked very puzzledly: "Shouldn't the biggest threat be Mongolia in the north?"
Zhu Di shook his head and said that he was not very clear either.
"I don't know why. But this is the advice given to me by Su Shangshen. I think the Japanese pirates must have some unknown secrets."
"Then what are you going to do, Fourth Brother?"
"I have to at least make an expedition to the north to Mongolia first, otherwise I won't be able to deal with the Japanese pirates."
"There is a sea between Japan and the Ming Dynasty. I'm afraid it will be difficult to fight, right?"
Queen Xu's concerns are very reasonable.
One of the reasons why Zhu Yuanzhang chose to ban the sea was because he could not completely eliminate the Japanese pirates, so he simply came up with a one-size-fits-all policy, "No one is allowed to enter the sea." If I can't fight, why can't I hide?
However, facts have proven that this approach actually treats neither the symptoms nor the root cause.
Because of the sea ban, the fishermen along the coast could no longer survive. In order to survive, they eventually had to join the raiding team, leaving the coast of the Ming Dynasty still full of wars.
The strategy of implementing a sea ban is related to Zhu Yuanzhang's thinking that he was born as a farmer and valued farming more than trade. At the same time, he also wanted to avoid the so-called "piao from all nations" during the Tang Dynasty.
"I can build new weapons and warships, and I will definitely win over Japan." Zhu Di looked very confident when he said this, because he was not fighting alone!
Empress Xu looked at the confident Zhu Di with a look of obsession in her eyes, "Fourth brother said he can do it, so he will definitely do it! However, I still hope that fourth brother will be more considerate and considerate of the people."
"Hey, sister, don't worry, I got two amazing treasures from Su Shangshen! As long as these two things are promoted, the people of Ming Dynasty will no longer have to worry about food shortages!"
"Ah?!" Queen Xu covered her mouth after hearing this and almost exclaimed, "Fourth brother, are you telling the truth?"
"It's absolutely true!" Zhu Di nodded heavily, and then said: "This matter is important, so don't make it public for now. I will take out the treasures after returning to the court, and then hand them over to Xia Yuanji, the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue. I believe he will be able to do it."
Well done to the task.”
"I understand, I understand, then let's return to the court as soon as possible!"
After Emperor Kangxi Xuan Ye woke up, he immediately ordered the ministers around him: "Order the Ministry of Industry to write a detailed forging process for iron tools and cannons immediately, and it must be submitted to me at the morning meeting tomorrow!"
The ministers didn't know why Xuan Ye suddenly wanted this thing, but they still respectfully agreed: "嗻!"
"Also, has Dai Zi been found?"
"Not found yet."
"Immediately inform all the places to intensify their efforts to find Dai Zi for me! I will reuse him severely!"
Xuan Ye's words made everyone present feel jealous, and they all wondered in their hearts who this person named "Dai Zi" was, so that he was so favored by His Majesty?
After Zhu Yuanzhang woke up, Zhu Di immediately knelt in front of Zhu Yuanzhang with a "pop".
In history, there were many princes and grandsons who fought for the throne with their eyes red.
Although Zhu Yuanzhang was very kind to his relatives, the seriousness of "rebellion and usurping the throne" could no longer be dealt with by simple family affection.
Zhu Yuanzhang stared at Zhu Di who was sweating profusely in front of him. After a long time, he sighed and said: "Starting from tomorrow, you will study Confucian classics at home, reflect on yourself, and get rid of the hostility in your heart first."
Contrary to most expectations, Zhu Yuanzhang did not take severe measures against Zhu Di, but simply confined him to his home.
"Thank you, Father!" Zhu Di escaped and quickly thanked him.
Zhu Biao stepped forward, helped Zhu Di, whose legs were weak, to stand up again, and said to Zhu Yuanzhang: "Father, why don't you let your son teach your fourth brother? I still have some experience in Confucianism."
The words of Prince Zhu Biao made Zhu Yuanzhang feel pain in his heart, "Biao'er knows that his end is approaching, so he wants to give way to someone better! My Biao'er is so sensible that it makes people feel heartbroken!"
Zhu Biao's words made Zhu Di feel extremely ashamed.
Among all the brothers, Zhu Di admired Zhu Biao the most. When Zhu Yuanzhang appointed Zhu Biao as the crown prince, Zhu Di was convinced and had no objections.
Now, the "oracle" seems to have revealed information about Zhu Biao's early death, which inevitably makes some people have other ideas.
"Brother."
"They are all family members, no problem."
These ten emperors can be selected by the system into the "Top Ten Meritorious Emperors in History", and their execution ability is naturally beyond doubt.
As soon as they returned to their own real world, they began to make intensive preparations to exchange the treasures needed for the forging process. At the same time, they also actively prepared for the next "exchange meeting" seven days later.
Li Shimin recruited four famous calligraphers and painters, Ouyang Xun, Yu Shinan, Chu Suiliang, and Xue Ji, and asked each of them to make the best calligraphy and painting.
Although they didn't know what Li Shimin wanted to do, since the boss had spoken, the four of them would happily agree.
After receiving the four sets of calligraphy and painting and appreciating them carefully, Li Shimin smiled and said to Queen Changsun: "Guanyin Maid, what do you think of these four sets of calligraphy and painting?"
"It was all done by four masters of calligraphy and painting, so it is naturally excellent."
Li Shimin asked again: "I want to offer something to God Su, what do you think is better?"
Changsun thought for a while and replied: "Su Shangshen is an transcendent being. He will definitely look down on simple gold and silver. Why don't he dedicate the set of glazed tea sets from the Western Regions that I have collected to you?"
Is Su Shangshen right?"
Changsun's Western "glazed glass" is actually glass. Although it looks more crystal clear and more dazzling than the local colored glaze, it cannot change the fact that it is essentially sand.
If Su Qian knew about Changsun's good intentions, he might want to beat her up.
"That's your favorite tea set! You don't want to use it even once every day. Do you really want to give it away like this?"
"For the sake of my second brother, I am willing to risk my life, let alone a mere set of glazed tea sets?"
"Forget it, I can't even bring out these things. The jade Ruyi is actually quite good."
Su Qian soon received "rewards" from these ten emperors.
Moreover, they had a very tacit understanding, and each of them individually gave Su Qian a reward.
Looking at the jade Ruyi, large ingots, bronze tripods and other strange "rewards" on the table, Su Qian's smile almost reached the corners of his ears.
But after being happy, Su Qian soon ran into trouble again.
Although not all of these things would be national treasures, they would at least be very rare treasures. If he dared to take them out to exchange for money, the police would come to check the water meter in minutes.
At this time, the considerate system spoke again,
[The system can convert items rewarded by historical figures into money. Does the host need this service? 】
Although he was reluctant to part with these good things, Su Qian, who was in debt, still said helplessly: "How much can they be exchanged for in total?"
[After system evaluation, it can be exchanged for about three million soft sister coins.]
"Only three million? Those are antiques from various dynasties!"
[The reward items have no historical value attached and are only valued based on their material and workmanship.]
Wouldn’t that be a big loss?
Su Qian realized that the pitfall of the exchange system was here.
But he couldn't exchange these things even if he held them, so he had to admit them.
But after all, it’s still three million!
Su Qian had never seen so much money in his life. He earned so much from just one reward!
[After deducting the system commission, you can redeem 2.7 million soft girl coins. 】
Su Qian thought for a while and asked: "When do I need to pay off my debt?"
【Just pay it off within thirty years.】
"What should I do if I still can't?"
【Just keep working on this platform.】
It seemed that there was not much danger, so Su Qian replied: "Okay! I'll keep the money for now and go have a nice meal tonight!"
