Daming: Distribution of Lingnan, you develop the Pearl River Delta?

Chapter 147 Zhu Di supervises the country, is he lonely?

In Zhu Xi's technology tree, aircraft is an advanced technology.

Of course, in terms of advanced technology, there are even more powerful technologies.

For example, nanotechnology, nuclear power, etc.

Whether Zhu Biao can see the birth of the airplane depends on how long he can live.

To be honest, Zhu Xi felt very pessimistic.

Of course, not being optimistic does not mean giving up.

Zhu Biao has been receiving good treatment.

Now that he was no longer the prince, Zhu Xi had no reason to kill Zhu Biao... Mainly because Zhu Xi didn't even think about killing him.

We are brothers after all.

However, it is hard to say about the other brother.

Zhu Di!

The feud between Zhu Xiang and him was a bit deep.

The hatred of wives!

Even if Zhu Xi didn't want to put Zhu Di to death, Zhu Di probably wouldn't let him go.

This is currently what Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Biao and his son are most worried about.

In their view, Zhu Xi and Zhu Di are brothers, and there is no need to fight to the death. However, they cannot bear Zhu Di's resentment towards Zhu Xi, and Zhu Xi cannot stand Zhu Di!

Just when Zhu Cang and Zhu Biao were riding the train and enjoying the spring breeze, Zhu Yuanzhang took the boats of hundreds of officials and entered the Yangtze River, and then went north to the outside of Jinling City.

King Zhu Di of Yan requested to return to Beijing to visit the doctor because the prince Zhu Biao was seriously ill... Of course, the so-called visit to the doctor was actually an excuse.

Because when Zhu Di arrived at Jinling, Zhu Yuanzhang had already taken people to Lingnan.

However, I didn't see Zhu Di leading people to chase Lingnan either.

On the contrary, Zhu Di was very happy. He received the imperial edict from his father and stayed in Jinling City to preside over the overall situation here... To be honest, this was almost the same as supervising the country under the edict.

And as the news came, something happened that made Zhu Di even more happy.

The prince was seriously ill, so he resigned from the throne.

Father actually agreed.

Moreover, he agreed not to tell, and because of the advice of the ministers in the court, Qin King Zhu Ping, who was supposed to be the first in line, missed the throne...

When the news came back, Zhu Di was extremely happy.

Especially the Prime Minister of the Left, Hu Weiyong. Although Zhu Di knew that this person was not easy to get along with, he still sent someone to send a letter of greetings to Hu Weiyong to show his friendship.

Zhu Di also knew what happened later.

Several princes took turns supervising the country.

See who does well!
And the order of supervising the country actually started with him, the youngest King Yan.

This is undoubtedly an opportunity.

On this day, Zhu Di led the officials who stayed in the capital out of the city to greet the Holy Emperor.

Zhu Yuanzhang appeared outside Jinling City with hundreds of officials, covered in dust.

It was June, the weather was very nice, and I was very happy to see my fourth child, Zhu Yuanzhang.

Zhu Di is the son whose personality is most like his.

So Zhu Yuanzhang also liked him very much, and now he had ordered Zhu Di to supervise the country. Zhu Yuanzhang wanted to test him as soon as he met him, and asked: "King Yan, I have been patrolling the south for more than a month, and you have been in the capital to supervise the country for more than half of it." It’s been a month. In the past half month or so, has there been any major incident in Beijing, and how did you deal with it?"

"Uh... when my father comes back, my sons and ministers don't dare to be experts, so many government affairs are still left to be resolved by my father when he comes back." Zhu Di responded.

His answer made Zhu Yuanzhang dumbfounded.

What do you mean?
Is it equivalent to saying that you were asked to supervise the country, but you were lonely?
If you don’t dare to deal with anything, then what kind of country are you still in prison for?
Zhu Yuanzhang was a little depressed.

But he didn't want to think about it, he was Zhu Yuanzhang.

He is the most controlling emperor in history.He had let Zhu Di meet him, but Zhu Di must be playing drums in his heart!

Where is this prison country?
Will he go too far and make his father unhappy?

It was the first time for Zhu Di to supervise the country as a big girl. She was afraid of losing her sense of proportion, so she kept pressing official duties and waited for Zhu Yuanzhang to come back to deal with it.

There is nothing wrong with being cautious.

But Zhu Di's performance made him somewhat unconfident.

This made Zhu Yuanzhang, who had just returned from Lingnan, inevitably compare his two sons together.

As the saying goes, if there is no comparison, there is no harm.

Look at Zhu Xi, how decisive he is!

No matter what he does, he makes up his own mind.

On the other hand, Zhu Di...

"Back to the palace!"

Zhu Yuanzhang ordered expressionlessly.

He has been away for more than a month, and Zhu Di, the prince who oversees the country, has done nothing. So how much government affairs have been left behind for more than a month?

It may even include military information at the border.

Zhu Yuanzhang had no time to argue with Zhu Di, so he immediately ordered him to return to Beijing, and then asked Zhu Di and Hu Weiyong to take six ministers and wait at the main hall.

He didn't even have time to take a shower, so he came to the main hall to announce his government.

Then I didn't know it, but I was shocked when I saw it.

Datong played up, saying that Bei Yuan had harassed the border many times and asked the imperial court to send troops.

Fight or defend, waiting for the imperial court to issue an order!
Such a thing has been shelved for half a month.

And Zhu Di, the prince who oversees the country, didn't react at all.

This is a military matter!

Zhu Yuanzhang asked with a straight face: "King Yan, what do you think of Bei Yuan's attack on the frontier?"

"Father, I believe that Beiyuan must be completely destroyed, otherwise our Ming Dynasty will never have peace!" Zhu Di stood up and expressed his intention to fight.

But Hu Weiyong asked: "King Yan, how should we fight?"

War cannot be fought just by saying "fight".

As the saying goes, before the three armies move, food and grass go first.

Then Hu Weiyong began to settle accounts. He said loudly: "The emperor's southern tour has received 800 million taels of silver. Among them, the staff department has been owed salary for one year. It urgently needs 160 million taels to pay officials at all levels to resolve the salary arrears. Otherwise, If officials no longer receive their salaries, they will no longer be able to raise the issue. Who will govern the country for the emperor?"

"Yes!" Zhu Yuanzhang nodded and said, "The salary arrears of the staff must be resolved."

"The Ministry of War also owes military pay!"

The Minister of War stood up and said: "Each guard station also needs to distribute food and salary. As of this year, the salary owed by each guard totals 380 million taels. If it is not paid again, the sergeants will rebel!"

But the military pay can no longer be owed. If the arrears continue, the soldiers may really rebel.

Isn’t it that those who serve as soldiers these days just do it to fill their stomachs?
If you can't even fill your stomach, then who is willing to work with you?

Ok!

Zhu Yuanzhang withdrew one year's taxes in advance from Zhu Xi, a total of 800 million taels, and part of this was obtained by Zhu Yuanzhang shamelessly asking for Zhu Xi's son.

As a result, just after returning to the capital, more than half of the staff and military departments were gone.

Only 260 million taels were left.

Although there was still a lot of money, Zhu Yuanzhang looked up...

Good guy, every official in the Ministry of Industry, Ministry of Punishment, Ministry of Rites, and Ministry of Household Affairs is like a child waiting to be fed.

I'm so anxious to shoot sparks!
