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

Chapter 157 Zhu Biao: Second brother, what do you think about my brother being called Neptune?
To launch a financial war against the Ming Dynasty, the consequences would definitely not be good.

In the future, Zhu Xi will have to clean up this mess himself.

So this is Zhu Ping's last resort.

He won't use it until the end.

In fact, Zhu Xi still has many tricks up his sleeve.

If you want to use the economy to shake the position of the supervising prince, it is a bit ruthless to fight a financial war.

Can't do it at all.

As long as Zhu Xi uses some tricks, Zhu Di's status as the prince who supervises the country can be shaken immediately.

What means?

Many, for example, Zhu Ping just needs to cut off his financial support to the imperial court.

Make up any excuse.

What kind of natural disaster or earthquake?

Or maybe a factory accident was discovered somewhere, etc.

It’s okay to even talk about the upcoming war against the Chen Dynasty!
After all, this is also to open up territory for the Ming Dynasty!

When the time comes, let Shen Sen move all routes south to Lingnan.

As a result, the court will lose at least ten million taels of silver income.

Zhu Fang didn't believe that Zhu Di could make up for such a big shortfall.

Therefore, don't look at Zhu Xi, he took a step back because of the impeachment of Hu Weiyong and other officials.

In fact, Zhu Xi has always firmly grasped the situation.

Because of Lingnan's financial resources, it is too strong now.

The speed of development has also increased geometrically.

This is especially true for wealth values.

The faster and faster speed of ships, the speed of continuous sea plundering by Lingnan people is also increasing.

What was plundered?
It is wealth!

So no matter who it is, if they want to compete with Zhu Xi for financial resources, they will be humiliating themselves.

And soon, after Zhu Ping returned, he planned to use troops against the Chen Dynasty.

Zhu Ping's war is different from others.

Others lose money by fighting.

But when Zhu Ping fights, he definitely makes money!
Such as Brunei.

Now there is a lot of wealth brought to Zhu Xi.

Srivijaya?
The gold from this place is now continuously transported to Panyu Prefecture.

The Zhenxi Grand Canal also began to make a profit.

The golden waterway is no joke.

The train continues to move forward.

At the same time, many people can be seen on the roadside, watching through the iron bars because they are curious about the train.

Most of these people are in ragged clothes.

Poor people.

Seeing such a scene, Zhu Biao, the former prince, felt very uncomfortable, so he came to find Zhu Ping and said: "Second brother, the world is suffering! Look at these people, they are all citizens of our Ming Dynasty. However, the children are all naked. The body is as skinny as a stick..."

"What do you mean big brother?"

Zhu Xi asked: "Why are you suddenly feeling emotional about this?"

"Brother, I think that the people in Lingnan are all well-dressed. Although everyone is busy every day, they can eat well, wear warm clothes, and even have money to enjoy life. How are they like them?" Zhu Biao shook his head and sighed: "Second brother, I have been thinking that if you supervise the country now, maybe in a few years, there will be no poor people in our Ming Dynasty."

"You are thinking too much." Zhu Xi was speechless, rolled his eyes and said, "Look at Panyu Mansion, there are beggars! How could there be no poor people? Brother, you think too highly of me."

"Well, but the beggars in Panyu Prefecture can earn 30 taels of silver by begging every month, which others can't earn in a lifetime." Zhu Biao grinned at Zhu Xi: "I think that under your rule, it is Anyone who becomes a beggar can live a good life!"

This is true.

But Zhu Ming said very frankly to Zhu Biao: "Brother, any size is fixed. For example, the wealth of the Ming Dynasty also has an upper limit. Now, this wealth is concentrated in the Lingnan area. Therefore, The people of Lingnan can enjoy such dividends. If the wealth of Lingnan is distributed to the people of the entire Ming Dynasty, how much do you think everyone can get?"

"This..." Zhu Biao was silent.

With his knowledge, he couldn't answer Zhu Ping's question at all.

Zhu Fang smiled and said: "This proposition is simply a false proposition, isn't it? How can the distribution of wealth be so even? So, even if in the future, I become the prince of the country, or the prince, my father will delegate the power to me. I'm afraid I won't be able to distribute wealth evenly when I handle the affairs of the country. There will definitely be places that are rich, but there will also be places that are poor. Of course, as a ruler, I will make every place rich. But that's also There has to be a priority! Therefore, there will always be poor people in the world."

Zhu Biao frowned and said, "Don't you have any way to solve this problem?"

Zhu Xi shook his head and said in deep thought: "There is no way around this. What we can do is to create a fair environment. As long as the people work hard and endure hardship, they can make money and live a good life. In this way First of all, poor people are those who like to eat and are lazy, and the most they can do is this."

In fact, Zhu Xi's words were meant to comfort Zhu Biao.

Common prosperity has always been a blank check.

How can there be such a good thing?

So Zhu Fang wants to say that this is actually a false proposition.

After some exchanges, Zhu Biao felt a little better after being comforted by Zhu Xi's last words. He smiled and said: "That's okay. At least the people can live a good life if they work hard. Second brother, as a brother I still support you and become the crown prince! This time when I return to the capital, I will propose it to my father again for the brotherhood."

"what ever."

Zhu Xi smiled.

It seems that Zhu Biao is still not sure.

He seemed to be worried that Zhu Ping would not be able to get the crown prince position.

Actually?

Now Zhu Biao's words in front of Zhu Yuanzhang are probably not as effective as Zhu Fang's words.

It's not that Zhu Yuanzhang's preference for his eldest son has diminished.

It was Zhu Yuanzhang's economic strength that made Zhu Yuanzhang dependent.

Therefore, Zhu Ping's control is strengthening.

Next, Zhu Biao and Zhu Xi continued to talk.

This time Zhu Biao was talking about banning titles.

He is going to be crowned king.

However, the title of a king is usually based on the fiefdom.

For example, the land of Yan is the King of Yan.

Zhao Di is the King of Zhao.

The land of Qin is the King of Qin.

However, Zhu Xi suggested that the place Zhu Biao wanted was the Penghu Islands.

What should that be called?
Could it be the King of Penghu?

But all of us, brothers, are all crowned kings with odd numbers!

It’s not okay to call him King Peng, right?
Zhu Biao asked Zhu Fang for advice: "Second brother, when you look at the Penghu Islands, what title should you get?"

For Zhu Biao, this title is very important.

After all, this may be the only thing he can leave to his descendants.

Zhu Feng was also stunned for a moment and said: "In fact, the title does not necessarily have to be based on the place. Look at me, I obviously rule the land of Lingnan, but isn't my title still the King of Qin?"

"Second brother, you are just being assigned... I thought about it, and it doesn't matter what I call it. The Penghu Islands are overseas. Do you think otherwise, they should be called Sea King?" Zhu Biao asked tentatively.

Zhu Xi, who was about to drink water, spurted it out in one breath.

what is it call?
Good guy, do you want to call me Neptune?
