Chapter 363: Da Sun, those thieves will keep an eye on your internal money.
Daming: Being a magistrate in Beiping, Chapter 363: Dasun, those thieves will keep an eye on your money. Zhu Yunqi, who was standing aside, had a puzzled look on his face.
"Grandpa Huang, Uncle Yan immediately paid a tribute of 2.5 million taels of silver to Grandpa Huang. Why can't such a huge good thing be told to the outside world?"
Zhu Yuanzhang was stunned, glanced at Zhu Yunwen in surprise, and said slowly: "My grandson, it is a great thing that King Yan sent us 2.5 million taels of silver.
However, the ministers in the court are also a bunch of jackals and tigers. The amount of money in the household department is not enough for them to be greedy. They are thinking about other money all day long.
If we let them know that we suddenly have an extra two and a half million taels of silver in our palace, all those thieves will definitely stare at the money in our palace with red eyes all day long."
"When we are alive, we can still suppress them. But when we die, those thieving officials will definitely empty out your money before they give up!"
Hearing this, Zhu Yunwen's eyes narrowed and he quickly responded, "Thank you, Grandpa Huang, for your teaching. My grandson understands!"
"Good!"
Zhu Yuanzhang nodded with satisfaction.
Unable to bear it, he ordered again: "My grandson, you must understand that as an emperor, you cannot govern the world solely by those scholars and corrupt scholars.
During those wars, those soldiers are still needed. Only they will risk their lives to conquer the rebellion and expel the Tartars!"
Zhu Yunwen nodded seriously and said, "My grandson, please remember the teachings of Grandpa Huang!"
……
At this time.
Beiping Mansion.
Zhu Di looked distressed.
"Guo Qing, now our family has lost even one tael of silver!"
Guo An didn't feel any distress at all.
"Your Highness, as long as the two million taels of silver can be used, it will not be a loss!"
Zhu Di couldn't help but asked curiously: "Guo Qing, what is the use of that silver?"
Guo An said helplessly: "Your Highness, I can't even explain!"
Zhu Di asked: "Is it possible that for the sake of the money, my father will give us the edict to retreat to the Goryeo Kingdom of Yan and the Kingdom of Japan?"
Guo An slowly shook his head, "Your Highness, this shouldn't be the case!"
"Isn't this the case?"
Zhu Di was a little confused and asked, "What is that?"
Guo An looked helpless and said: "I don't dare to talk nonsense, so your Highness should stop asking!"
"Okay, okay, anyway, it's only 2.5 million taels of silver. The five-year tribute of silver from the Japanese country has ended this year, so we should treat it as a filial piety to our father!"
Zhu Di waved his hand casually and stopped asking.
"Your Highness is wise!"
Guo An felt relieved.
Afterwards, Zhu Di couldn't help but chase people away, "Zhu Qing is bringing a group of scribes to Prince Yan's house to distribute annual gifts. Guo Qing, as the right chief historian, should go too!"
Guo Andao: "Your Highness, let us give such a good opportunity to the Crown Prince!"
"Prince?"
Zhu Di's eyes flashed and he nodded slightly subconsciously.
"That's fine, then please invite Guo Qing and the Crown Prince to go together!"
"Yes, Your Highness!"
Guo An responded and went to look for Zhu Gaochi.
He understood that Zhu Di was still distressed about the 2.5 million taels of silver.
Otherwise, in the middle of winter, I would have to have a long history like him to distribute holiday benefits.
However, if you don’t pay money, how can you get anything in return?
Just like these new year benefits from Prince Yan’s Mansion!
There are carts and carts of meat, fruits and vegetables, as well as some treasures, sugar, cloth...
Escorted by some Yanshan guards and caravans, they were sent to the home of a Yanshan guard.
Afterwards, after sending out the Yanshan Guards, it was time for these officials to take a break to celebrate the New Year.
Each of them brought home some New Year's benefits.
Both the Yanshan Guards and the officials were very grateful to King Zhu Di of Yan, and they were even more loyal!
Even those gentry families do not lack the items of Prince Yan's Mansion.
However, the children of their family who were scribes in Prince Yan's Mansion were still superior to others when they brought back these things, making other children extremely envious.
And those ordinary people are even more envious.
……
After this New Year's Day, there was no fighting between the Tatars and the border in the north.
Jin Zhong, Chang Guoting, Chen Shou, Zhang Xing and other officials and generals who had been stationed in the Yan Kingdom of Goryeo also returned to Peiping one after another during the New Year.
When they heard that someone in the court was attacking Yinshan, a Japanese country, Jin Zhong, Chang Guoting, Chen Shou, Zhang Xing and others were furious.
Especially Zhu Neng, Qiu Song, Chen Xi, and Li Jun, who have been leading troops to conquer Japan, are full of anger.
Even some loud mouths and some outrageous words came out.
Guo An said with a bored look: "Okay, okay, you will attack the Japanese country and tidy up all the Japanese, so that if the court cannot accommodate our Prince Yan's Mansion in the future.
His Royal Highness, Prince Yan, can directly move the entire Prince Yan's palace to Goryeo and Japan!"
So far, there has been no movement in the court.
"Don't worry, Guo Changshi. Among the hundreds of states and counties in Goryeo, each state and county has two officials from our Ming Dynasty. In less than a year, Goryeo will be completely controlled by our country, Yan!"<
/p>
Jin Zhong said with confidence.
Chang Guoting, Shang Kezhou and others also nodded quickly.
Although they were all ministers in the Yan Kingdom of Goryeo, when they returned to Beiping Mansion, they were automatically demoted to the position of Chief Secretary of History and Secretary of the Yan Palace.
“Very good!”
Above, Zhu Di nodded with great satisfaction.
"You have tried your best to govern the Goryeo and Yan Kingdoms as vigorously as possible. Now the time from Peking to Goryeo, or from the Japanese to Goryeo, can be shortened by half with the improvement of large ships.
If any Goryeo nobles dare to have any objections, just conquer them directly!"
"Your Highness is wise! I will do my best to govern the Kingdom of Goryeo and Yan!"
