Mixed with salted fish in Hongwudang

Chapter 113 Zhu Tuhu is Sour!
The reason why Zhu Yuanzhang raised this question was definitely not on a whim, it was because Lan Yu had too many adoptive sons, so many that he was afraid.

Because according to the practice in the military, the adopted son of the chief general is an absolute confidant.

This fellow has taken thousands of adoptive sons at once, even if he has no intention of rebelling, he still has the strength to rebel.

If Lan Yu couldn't come up with a proper solution today, it would be as simple as canceling him as the leader of the Northern Expedition. Whether or not there was someone like Lan Yu in Daming would be a matter of debate.

Lan Yu also knew this very well, but he was really reluctant to let him give up his adopted son.

There are reasons for his character, as well as the characteristics of his war.

He likes to go on a rampage when he fights. Wherever he rushes, his foster sons will follow him. Many big battles are won like this.

As for the character reason, it is simple. Although he has no intention of rebellion, but guarding such a ruthless person as Zhu Tuhu, no one can leave a way out for himself, so as to avoid the future death of a cunning rabbit and a lackey.When the birds are gone, the good bow is hidden.

Furthermore, the adoptive sons he has adopted over the years are all the elite among the elite, and they are absolutely loyal to him, who would be willing to change them.

Therefore, after Lao Zhu raised this question, Sapphire struggled for a long time without making up her mind.

Seeing that Lan Yu was so obsessed with obsession, Lao Zhu secretly sighed in his heart, this guy can't stay anymore!

"My dear grandson, if you are full, go catch toads in the moat, and don't disturb us talking about military affairs with Duke Liang!"

"what?"

How could Zhu Yunxi be willing to leave just after hearing about the key points?

"Grandfather, I haven't finished eating yet!"

As Zhu Yunxi spoke, he tore off a leg of lamb and gnawed it in his hand.

Seeing him smiling dotingly, Lao Zhu stopped urging him.Anyway, there is no rush to clean up Sapphire, it will take a while just to prepare.

Lan Yu looked at Zhu Yunxi, and finally made a decision after struggling in her heart.

For the throne of my nephew and grandson, just give up a few thousand adopted sons!

As long as Zhu Yunxi can become the emperor in the future, how can he still lose to my uncle?

"Your Majesty, I... I will send away thousands of adoptive sons when I go back, and I will not have any contact with them since then..."

Zhu Yunxi originally thought that Lan Yu had only taken in a few adoptive sons, and he still complained a little in his heart that Lao Zhu made a fuss out of a molehill.Hearing what this guy said now, his eyeballs almost popped out of fright.

"What!"

"How many sons?"

"Grandpa, you are trying to rebel!"

Lan Yu saw that the grandson was breathing fragrant again, and his face turned black with anger. If his own grandfather was not sitting beside him, he would have hung up the grandson and beat him.

"To shut up!"

"If you can't speak, don't talk nonsense, no one will think you are dumb!"

Old Zhu was very happy to see Lan Yu slumped, and it was such a joy to drink it by himself.

Zhu Yunxi, however, acted as if he hadn't heard it, and leaned over with a faceless face.

"Grandpa, are your foster sons good at fighting?"

Sapphire didn't want to talk to this guy at first, but when he heard him ask this, her face immediately showed pride.

"Of course!"

"The one who can catch your uncle and grandpa's eyes is the most heroic man!"

"It's not that uncle and grandpa are bragging to you, our few thousand adopted sons are worth tens of thousands of elite soldiers!"

Zhu Yunxi heard Lan Yu brag about his adopted son so much that his eyeballs glowed green with greed.

"Since they are so powerful, why not give them to me!"

"I asked someone. When I become a feudal clan in the future, I will be able to lead the Three Guards Army. Your thousands of adopted sons will be my guards!"

When Lan Yu heard Zhu Yunxi's words suddenly, she was overjoyed.

Asking him to disband Yiziying is more uncomfortable than killing him.But if these people were sent to Zhu Yunxi as guards, then he would not be reluctant.

No matter how you say it, this is also a field where the fat does not flow to outsiders!

"Superior?"

"Why don't I take Yiziying to the Beiyuan side for a while, and when they come back, let them be included in the sixth rank of the prince, and directly obey His Majesty's orders!"

When Lao Zhu heard Lan Yu's proposal, his heart skipped a beat.

As Sapphire said, the ability to make him fall in love with people will never be inferior.

If it is dismissed at this point, it will indeed be a great loss for the court.

But if he gave these people to Zhu Yunxi, it would not only preserve the strength of the court, but also increase the strength of the great grandson, which can be said to kill two birds with one stone.

Just when Lao Zhu wanted to agree, Zhu Yunxi quit.

"Grandpa, why are you like this? Even if you don't want to send me, you can't give it to others!"

After Lan Yu heard this, she was so angry that she really wanted to hit him. Isn't this grandson stupid? Isn't it a gift for him to be included in the six ranks of the prince?

These are all trained by us, are you still afraid that they will support Zhu Yunqi?
Lao Zhu understood Dasun's thoughts a little bit, he must have been deliberately pretending to be stupid just now, so that the child had a misunderstanding.

But this matter can't be explained, let him misunderstand it.

"Then temporarily belong to the sixth rank of the prince, and when Yunxi grows up in the future, he will directly be under his command!"

Seeing Lao Zhu saying this, Zhu Yunxi showed a happy smile.

Lan Yu was numb, and was surprised that a sheep could be stuffed into her mouth.Did Zhu Tuhu pamper his grandson to such an extent? Even the crown prince didn't have a personal guard camp so early, did he?
Zhu Yunxi helped Lan Yu carry the biggest thunder, and the rhythm of the next meal was much more relaxed. Lao Zhu not only ordered someone to bring food to Lan Yu, but also made a few jokes with Lan Yu from time to time.

The relationship between the two was already close. It can be said that Lao Zhu watched Lan Yu grow up, and he was a relative of the emperor. If Lan Yu didn't do too much, his status would have been more than that.

"Superior, it's easy to talk about beating Beiyuan, but the minister is worried about one thing, that is, the court will not be able to provide a decent reward when the class teacher is still in court."

"Although the court rewarded it a few times before, it was as if it hadn't been rewarded."

Old Zhu was puzzled when he heard this.

"Didn't we ask the local government to award houses and land?"

Sapphire curled her lips in disdain and said.

"This is where the humble minister gets angry. The local government doesn't take the imperial decree seriously at all. It delays it as long as it can, and finds various reasons not to give it or give it less."

"There are still many soldiers who haven't got the reward for the time when Weichen fished Yuerhai!"

Zhu Yuanzhang figured out what was going on after a little bit of astonishment. The performance of the local government depends on the number of household registrations and the taxes collected every year.

Military households do not pay taxes to the local government, and their household registration also belongs to the guard, not to the local government.

Therefore, in order not to affect their own political performance, the local government must not be willing to allocate more land and houses to military households, which will affect the interests of civilian households under its rule.

But even if he wanted to understand this, he couldn't think of a good way.

Because the separate management of military households and civilian households is a national policy formulated by him personally, which is related to the stability of the Ming Dynasty.

Here, it affects the whole body, and many of Daming's systems may have to be changed once.

If he was 20 years younger, he might still have the mental strength, but now that he is over 60, even if he has the heart, he doesn't have the ability.

"The reason why Weichen has adopted so many adopted sons is to give them a thought, let them know that someone remembers their achievements, so that they can fight against Weichen with peace of mind..."

Lao Zhu didn't believe a word of Lan Yu's words, but the question he raised was a big one.

"Sapphire, what do you want to do?"

"Reward money!"

"The imperial court rewards money directly according to military merits, so that the meritorious soldiers will not have to return to their hometowns, and they will have to be bullied by the local civil officials!"

After Lan Yu finished speaking, she broke the bone of the lamb and started to chew it heartlessly.

Since Zhu Tuhu wanted him to fight in a proper manner, he had to give an explanation to the meritorious soldiers.

You can either pay for it in real money, or cash in the rewards that the imperial court has owed to the soldiers over the years!

Even if it is said that there is no reason to let the horse run and not let the horse eat grass!

When Lao Zhu heard this, he felt a headache. According to Lan Yu, how much silver would the court have to prepare?

One million taels, or two million taels?

But where did the imperial court get so much money? If he had so much money, would he still need to fight the Northern Expedition more than a dozen times piecemeal?

"We know, as long as you come back from a big victory, we will definitely not lose out to the meritorious soldiers!"

As soon as Zhu Yunxi heard this, he knew that the old man had started painting cakes again, and he still painted tens of thousands of cakes at one time.

But it's not his turn to worry about it, he can just eat and drink well, and it's good to be a prince after a year or two.

The atmosphere that followed was a bit dull, Lao Zhu was thinking about where to get money, how could he be joking with Lan Yu?

However, after thinking about it for a while, he suddenly found that his eldest grandson was actually grilling shrimp for Lan Yu, and the two were talking and laughing!

When Lao Zhu saw this scene, he was immediately possessed by lemon essence. This grandson has spent more than two months with us, and he has never seen him grill shrimp for us!

"Zhu Yunxi, get out of here quickly, don't disturb your uncle and grandpa's dinner!"

Lan Yu just wanted to say don't bother me, and she is chatting well with her nephew and grandson.But as soon as he saw Lao Zhu's unfriendly eyes, he immediately realized that the old man was sour!

Thinking of this, Sapphire felt relieved.No matter how awesome you are, Zhu Butcher, your grandson still kisses our uncle and grandpa, hahaha!

　Thank you all for your rewards and votes.
