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

Chapter 173 Zhu Yuanzhang's Changes in Mind
Zhu Yuanzhang said so.

Zhu Xi was also helpless.

However, the money he brought this time was really not that much.

King Qin’s treasure banknotes can’t be used in Jinling!
Otherwise, Zhu Xi could carry 1000 million taels with him.

But it doesn't matter.

One million taels is not a problem for Zhu Ping.

He said to Zhu Yuanzhang: "Father, the money will be sent to the palace in the afternoon, but I still want a word from my father... Will no one cause trouble at the wedding tomorrow?"

"Absolutely not!"

Zhu Yuanzhang fully agreed.

When the money is in place, everything is easy to talk about.

It's also ridiculous.

Who is Zhu Yuanzhang?
The Ming Dynasty, the leader of the Ninth Five-Year Plan.

No.1!
is the emperor!
And Zhu Xi was just a King of Qin.

However, when Zhu Yuanzhang became the emperor, he was so poor that he even had to blackmail Zhu Fang to pay for the palace expenses.

Where is Zhu Xiang?
He has too much money to spend.

Moreover, as Lingnan continues to develop, the population of the entire Lingnan region is also increasing.

These people are all from Ming Dynasty.

Especially Yandi, Guanzhong, Xiliang...

From these places, at least several million people have migrated to Lingnan.

This is a long time.

The Ming Dynasty's originally low taxes were reduced by a few points.

What's more, disasters are everywhere.

To be honest, no one knows how much the Ming Dynasty will collect in taxes this year.

Being an emperor doesn't mean you must be rich.

It can only be said that in front of individuals, there is definitely no shortage of money.

However, at a national level, the meaning of money is different.

Money can be people's livelihood.

It is the cornerstone of development.

How can people survive without money?

If there is no money, how can we encourage the people below to attack the city and engage in production?
The money is still military expenditure for fighting the war!

Without money, who is willing to work for you?
So Zhu Yuanzhang was really poor!

The court meeting in spring every year is Zhu Yuanzhang's biggest moment.

The six ministries quarreled every year over their respective expenditures and the allocation of the national treasury.

why?
Isn’t it because the money from the national treasury is simply not enough for them to spend!
To be honest, Zhu Yuanzhang was getting tired of living frugally like this.

Common people have common people's troubles.

The emperor also has his troubles!

But Zhu Yuanzhang was not one of those fatuous and hedonistic monarchs.

He is the founding king!
I am sure that the country I want to create will be stable and stable for a long time.

But if things go on like this, will the Ming Dynasty be able to enjoy long-term peace and stability?

It's hard to think about it!

Zhu Yuanzhang is also worried!

That's why Zhu Yuanzhang was particularly tolerant of Zhu Ping.

Zhu Yuanzhang had many sons.

Among them, the former prince Zhu Biao is the most hopeful and perfect successor in Zhu Yuanzhang's mind.

But Zhu Biao has been abolished.

If his health is not good, then no matter how good he is, it will be in vain.

He will die before Zhu Yuanzhang, so what's the use?

Then King Jin, the third child.

What do you say about this guy...

It's that kind of psychopathic tendency.

And he is extremely vicious.

There is also a bit of insidiousness inside.Zhu Yuanzhang was obviously ruthless.

Therefore, Zhu Yuanzhang looked down upon the King of Jin.

He felt that among his sons, the one who looked most like him was King Zhu Di of Yan.

But what!
Zhu Yuanzhang is a very clear-headed person.

Zhu Di is like him, but Zhu Yuanzhang knows that what the Ming Dynasty needs now is not the kind of monarch who can expand territories.

The finances of the Ming Dynasty are all like this now. If they still use troops abroad, the military expenses will be gone.

The imperial court will also collapse!
Therefore, it would not work if Zhu Di was with Zhu Yuanzhang.

If Zhu Ping had not appeared, Zhu Yuanzhang would have chosen Zhu Biao's son after understanding Zhu Biao's condition, and he would have taught him since childhood and trained a suitable successor.

But now Zhu Xi appears.

This son has skills.

Moreover, he is good at governing local areas.

Even the military exploits that King Yan Zhu Di was proud of and his achievements in foreign battles were nothing in front of Zhu Ping.

Can't get on the table at all!
Because Zhu Ping conquered a larger territory overseas than the entire Ming Dynasty.

And it’s several times bigger!

In North and South America, Shen Sen's people have landed.

There were even natives who looked very similar to those from the Ming Dynasty.

After returning this time, Zhu Feng not only had to deal with the affairs of the Chen Dynasty, but also instructed and arranged for Shen Sen to conquer North and South America.

Therefore, when it comes to military merit, no one should compare with Zhu Xi.

That's self-defeating.

Of course, Zhu Xi's military achievements are not obvious.

Apart from Zhu Xing himself, the people in the court who knew him were Xu Da and Zhu Yuanzhang.

And even fewer people know the significance of these lands to the Ming Dynasty.

If you don’t understand, you’ll probably sneer at it…

what?
Overseas territories?
What's the use of that!
Even if you take it, it would take several months to go there...

This is indeed the case now.

Even with steamships, it would take about a month to go from Jinling to Australia.

But what if there were airplanes?

Of course, the most important thing about Zhu Yuanzhang, what Zhu Yuanzhang valued most, and what even he, the emperor, would envy, was Zhu Yuan's ability to make money!

It's just too scary!

It can only be described as terrifying.

Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't find any other words to describe how Zhu Xi made money.

Ten million taels a day was something that no one else, not even the emperor Zhu Yuanzhang, dared to think about.

However, Zhu Xi did it directly!
What Ming Dynasty needs right now is just such a successor!
Therefore, even if Zhu Yuanzhang was definitely uncomfortable and did not want to make Zhu Chong the crown prince because of some of Zhu Chong's previous actions, now Zhu Yuanzhang's attitude has begun to change.

From the hesitation at the beginning, to the wavering when discussing with Queen Ma, then when he went to Lingnan, his attitude towards Zhu Ping changed to supporting him as the prince, and now... Zhu Yuanzhang was so eager that Zhu Ping immediately agreed to be the prince!
Therefore, Zhu Yuanzhang repeatedly indulged Zhu Xi.

Even when father and son talk about things, they treat it like a transaction.

And, no matter what, it can be used for trading.

There is something wrong with the relationship between father and son, and the relationship between monarch and minister.

Under Zhu Yuanzhang's arrangement, the wedding date was held as scheduled.

The night before, Zhu Xi moved out of Zhu Biao's mansion.

However, Zhu Biao also took the Chang family to live in the Prince Qin's Mansion in Jinling City.

In Zhu Biao's words, that is: "Second brother, the eldest brother is used to living with you, and the eldest brother's home is actually rented now. Now that you have a new residence, you won't not take the eldest brother in, right?"

Zhu Xi was speechless.

Does Zhu Biao need to rent a mansion?
It was said to be for rent, but the mansion belonged to the imperial court.

As long as Zhu Biao doesn't want to leave, who dares to drive him away?

Moreover, you don’t have to pay rent every month!
Zhu Fang knew that Zhu Biao was interested in this new mansion.

Not to mention, even Zhu Xi himself liked it a little bit.

Although it was not as luxurious as the ones in Lingnan, the huanghuali and mahogany furniture in Yishui also made Zhu Xi feel elated.

This 100 million taels doesn’t seem like a big loss!

Zhu Ping asked Shen Sen to help him but paid the money.
