Chapter 398 Zhu Yuanzhang: You two join forces to trick us into opening the sea?
Ming Dynasty: Huddle in Beiping County Magistrate Chapter 398 Zhu Yuanzhang: You two join forces to trick us into opening the sea? On the side, while Zhu Gaochi was shocked and regretful in his heart, he couldn't help but smile sarcastically.
At the same time, he is in awe of his father and teacher.
How could his father hide such a huge family fortune for so long!
Even he, the Crown Prince of Yan, didn’t know anything about it!
Zhu Yuanzhang snorted coldly, "Everyone has grown up and knows how to hide it from us!"
Zhu Di said proudly: "If the child had not been hidden, Zhu Yunwen and those courtiers would have known the true situation, and they would not have reported to my father every day and asked him to send troops to occupy the Japanese country!"
Zhu Yuanzhang: "..."
There is no need for those courtiers to report to Zhu Yunwen, he can no longer bear it now and wants to send troops to Japan!
One million taels of silver can be mined in one month!
It can be mined for two to three hundred years. How many taels of silver can it be mined for the Ming Dynasty?
Seeing Zhu Yuanzhang's expression, Zhu Di's face froze, and he immediately felt something was wrong and said quickly.
"Dad, Guo An hasn't started talking about how he plans to rob other barbarians!"
"Huh?"
Zhu Yuanzhang came back to his senses and glared at Zhu Di fiercely again.
"Are you a bandit leader? You know how to rob all day long? That's because I, the Ming Dynasty, can't bear that those overseas barbarians live in a state of ignorance, poverty, ignorance of loyalty, filial piety, etiquette, justice and shame, and no knowledge of the integrity of the emperor and his ministers.
And you, Zhu Di, are the crown prince of the Ming Dynasty and have a compassionate heart.
I want to send our Ming soldiers, caravans and officials to civilize overseas barbarians!"
"..."
Zhu Di couldn't help but look weird. Such words were even worse than Guo An's...
"My father said it is absolutely true that it is our Ming Dynasty's responsibility as the Celestial Kingdom to educate overseas barbarians, let them know etiquette, justice and integrity, let them understand the integrity of monarchs and ministers, and let them become rich and enjoy the luxury items of our Ming Dynasty!"
"Huh, that's pretty smart!"
Zhu Yuanzhang glared at Zhu Di, then looked at Guo An again.
"Guo Qing, which barbarian overseas has such a large silver mine as the Japanese country?"
"Your Majesty, forgive me, even I don't know!"
Guo An said quickly.
"You don't know either?"
The smile on Zhu Yuanzhang's face disappeared immediately.
On the side, Zhu Di quickly explained: "Dad, there are too many foreign countries overseas, and Guo Qing has never been in contact with the envoys of those foreign countries, so he doesn't know very well!"
Zhu Yuanzhang's expression softened slightly.
Guo Andao said: "However, Wei Chen has read the "Book of Southern Qi". There is a golden mountain in Linyi, a state in Linyi, in Nanyi. The golden juice flows out of Pu. I made the Nigan Road and cast gold and silver statues, which are as large as ten encirclements!"
"Gold Mountain?"
Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Di's eyes suddenly glowed with golden light.
"The Book of Liang also records that there is a Jinshan Mountain in the country. The rocks are all red, and gold is born in them. During the golden night, they fly out and look like fireflies. There are also tortoise shells, shell teeth, jibei, and agarwood."
"Your Majesty, not only items such as gold mountains, tortoise shells, shells, Jibei, and aloes, if they were shipped from Linyi to our Ming Dynasty and sold to those gentry and merchants, they would also be worth thousands of gold!"
Guo An continued: "The "Old Book of Tang" also records that Linyi State, the land of Xianglin in the south of Han Dynasty, is more than a thousand miles south of Jiaozhou. Its country extends for thousands of miles... Its king and princess are all happy and wear golden flowers on their heads.
, the body is decorated with gold locks and pearls!
Moreover, the rice there will ripen again every year. From then on, the vegetation in the south flourishes in winter, and lettuce is eaten all year round...
Your Majesty, when I was in Peking, according to some historical records, in the country of Linyi, rice was harvested three times a year. Even if the people of Linyi did not concentrate on cultivating rice, they had a bumper harvest every year. They had no idea.
Why are you hungry!"
"What?"
At this time, Zhu Yuanzhang was startled and looked at Guo An with bright eyes.
"You mean, there is no shortage of food in Linyi?"
"Hmm!"
Guo An nodded slightly, "I mean, Linyi is a treasure land. They not only have gold mountains, but also luxury goods such as tortoise shells, shell teeth, Jibei, and agarwood.
The most important thing is that the vegetation over there is flourishing in winter, and it’s like spring all year round, so you can plant rice at any time!”
Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes widened again, and he asked with surprise: "Why has no one known about such a treasured land since ancient times?"
Guo An quickly replied: "Your Majesty, it may be that Linyi country is too remote and extremely wild there, so all dynasties have not paid much attention to this place!"
"Hmm!"
Zhu Yuanzhang nodded slowly and said: "We remember that Lin Yi Kingdom seems to have been destroyed by Annan Kingdom!"
"It seems so!"
On the side, Zhu Di replied slowly.
Zhu Yuanzhang narrowed his eyes slightly and said slowly: "The Annan royal family has always been very courteous to us in the Ming Dynasty. This matter needs long-term consideration!"
"Dad, when the Annan Kingdom sends envoys to the Ming Dynasty later, we can ask Annan to pay tribute to our Ming Dynasty of millions of stones of food every year!"
Zhu Di said.
"Hmm!"
Zhu Yuanzhang nodded slightly and did not object.
Guo An said again: "Your Majesty, I have checked ancient books and it seems that there is also a large amount of gold hidden in Java!"
"Java?"
Zhu Yuanzhang's expression condensed again and he stared at Guo An closely.
"Are you sure?"
Guo An quickly replied with fear on his face: "Your Majesty, please forgive me. I have never been to Java, so I can't guarantee it!"
Before Zhu Yuanzhang could speak, Zhu Di quickly said: "Dad, what Guo An said, especially about money matters, is always accurate!"
Zhu Yuanzhang frowned slightly, "Kublai Khan once sent a thousand warships to attack Java, but they were repelled by the barbarians on Java Island."
Zhu Di looked confident, "Dad, don't worry, Java is a group of islands, and the natives on them are unbearable barbarians.
Our Ming Dynasty has strong soldiers and horses. If our Ming Dynasty attacks Java, it will be easy!"
