Daming: I, Yang Xian, really govern Yang!

Chapter 309 Dog Leash (4k)

I heard there is a reward.

The envoys from the three countries had expressions of gratitude on their faces. They raised their heads in unison and looked at Zhu Yuanzhang, who was sitting high on the dragon throne, with expectant eyes.

Ming Dynasty is indeed a country of etiquette.

Let me just say, how can a great and majestic country like ours, a small country like us, have the same experience?

All they want is an attitude. We only need to express our surrender to them. How could the Ming Dynasty, with its vast territory and vast resources, be stingy about those rewards?

From beginning to end, this is just a test for us by Ming Dynasty.

The three envoys had the same idea in their minds, and at the same time they were very happy that their country did not try to stand out.

Otherwise, the person currently under house arrest in that house in the capital would be the king of their country.

Even the king suffered this kind of fate. As princes and ministers, how could they fare better?

The voice just fell.

The envoys from Zhancheng and Annan also agreed.

It was issued in the Yuan Dynasty. To put it nicely, this thing is money, but to put it worst, it is just paper!

When the treasure banknotes collapsed in the late Yuan Dynasty, they were just paper.

When the three envoys heard this, they couldn't contain their excitement.

What I was worried about as a bad thing turned out to be a good thing.

The envoys of the Three Kingdoms, who had been so moved just now, suddenly stood there as if someone had strangled their necks.

The envoys of the Three Kingdoms are still making their final struggle.

Zhu Yuanzhang watched their performance with a brighter smile on his face.

Can they not know what the Ming Dynasty treasure money is?

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at the three envoys kneeling in the hall and smiled: "We know that your three countries are all in a period of development and are short of money."

But it's just a title.

I have long heard that Ming Dynasty seems to have robbed a silver mine in Japan.

At this moment, everyone was possessed by the film and television, kneeling on the ground, kowtowing and thanking him.

"Without money, how can people in this world live a good life?"

As for whether it was the previous suzerain country or the current father country.

In their view, this is what they should do when facing a big country like Ming Dynasty.

If you are short of money, naturally you plan to give it.

Everyone's eyes filled with tears and tears of gratitude.

"From now on, our Ming Dynasty will spend a large amount of Ming Dynasty treasure money to purchase supplies from the three countries of you, as another way of support, so that your people can also make money!"

They only need lizi, and in terms of face, give it all to Daming.

Kneeling down and calling daddy will give them money. There is no psychological burden on them at all. As long as they have money, they can call them grandpa.

"The Emperor of the Ming Dynasty has great benevolence, but our country is really in trouble now. We are short of everything, and the most lacking thing is money!"

The Siamese envoy gritted his teeth and plucked up his courage, and asked: "Dear Your Majesty the Ming Emperor, can the money used to support us in Siam be exchanged for silver? Copper coins are also fine. It doesn't matter if it's less."

How stupid it is to choose head-on confrontation like Gao Li. He just wants to die and cannot blame others.

Zhu Yuanzhang smiled and said: "In our Ming Dynasty, Ming Dynasty treasure banknotes are the same as silver. The journey is long and the transportation of silver and copper coins is very inconvenient."

It was just a compliment, but he was actually prepared to give him money.

Hear Zhu Yuanzhang's impassioned speech.

In fact, they had no choice from the start.

They all began to cry about poverty. While crying about poverty, they also expressed their determination, saying that no matter how poor their country was, they would never be careless in paying tribute to their father, the Ming Dynasty, and they must give the best.

Your Highness, the envoys of the Three Kingdoms of Siam, are about to burst with joy from the bottom of their hearts.

"Since you are willing to call Ming Dynasty our father's country, how can any parent in this world be willing to see their children starve and freeze because of poverty?"

It seems that gold and silver will be directly rewarded.

The essence has not changed at all. Small countries like these like to do this kind of benefit without any cost.

"Your country is a sub-state of the Ming Dynasty, so I should love the people of your country as one!"

Didn't we agree that it would be silver?

How could it suddenly become a Ming Dynasty treasure note?

The three people looked at each other, and they all saw shock in each other's eyes.

"But Your Majesty, the common people in this country are just rural people. They are not as good as the people of the heaven. They may not know the treasures of the Ming Dynasty. It is better to use silver and copper coins."

“If a country wants to be strong and prosperous, how can it do it without money?”

When the envoys of the Three Kingdoms were feeling proud, Zhu Yuanzhang spoke again.

"Yes, and after all, it is not easy to store Ming Dynasty treasure banknotes, if there is any loss."

Sure enough, these so-called heavenly kingdoms all follow this trick.

"Okay, I understand the situation in your three countries."

Weak countries have no diplomacy.

This is an irrefutable truth.

Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand, and then said categorically: "It's okay, we have already thought about it. When the time comes, we will ask Daming Bank to come forward and directly open branches in each of your countries. When the time comes, the banknotes will be old and old. Regardless of losses, you can go directly to Daming Bank to exchange new banknotes."

"As for the problem of people's usage habits you mentioned, it would be easier to solve. After you go back, just like us, just directly recognize the legal effect of the Ming Dynasty treasure banknotes. Your country now collects taxes in kind and distributes salaries. It is also a physical object. This alone requires a lot of manpower and material resources. In the future, everything from civilians' transactions to your royal court's tax collection will be converted into treasure banknotes. It is also convenient and convenient to use, which can greatly reduce your tax collection work. Labor cost."

"In the next step, our Ming Dynasty's business contacts with various countries will become more frequent, and it will be much easier to trade with treasure banknotes."

Then I have to thank you.

The three envoys had already expressed their disapproval in their hearts, but they could not express it on their faces.

As a result, their faces looked particularly distorted and funny.

I want to cry but can't.

Only then did they realize that Zhu Yuanzhang was giving them a reward!

This is obviously going to cost them their lives!

But the most important thing is that they really can't find a decent reason to refuse.

Because on the surface, Ming Dynasty is purchasing supplies from several of these countries. This is taking care of them and supporting the development of their countries.

Ming Dynasty did not directly send troops to their territory, and did not even ask them to send protons to Beijing.

But at this time, they would rather send their prince to the Ming capital to be a hostage.

Because they knew in their hearts that according to Zhu Yuanzhang's method of support, wouldn't their countries become vassals of their Ming Dynasty?

All of these were the steps that Yang Xian had set when formulating the reform of Ming Dynasty Baochao.

Zhu Yuanzhang was just implementing the methods taught by Yang Xian.

Controlling money and credit can strike at the heart of national sovereignty.

Controlling currency means controlling finance, controlling the economy, and at the same time, controlling the measure of social development. Monetary plunder is faster and more civilized than sending troops.

Currency issuance means the right to distribute social wealth, which is the core interest of any country's power. Controlling the issuance of currency is actually the same as controlling the country.

This is what later generations of bald eagles did.

The U.S. dollar has been the world currency for 1944 years since it replaced the British pound as the world currency in 80.

The U.S. dollar is the core of the world's monetary system. The U.S. dollar that is the result of hard work all over the world is nothing but worthless banknotes. However, these banknotes are endorsed by the bald eagle government and ordered by law, and are forcibly given symbols of value. These waste papers without any physical guarantee crazily plunder the fruits of labor created all over the world, and shamelessly cover up the nature of the plunder in textbooks, beautifying it as an equivalent exchange.

Taking the U.S. dollar as an example, the U.S.'s debt of more than 30 trillion U.S. dollars is the wealth it plunders from the world through currency. This is only external, but it is an astronomical figure internally.

In the post-US dollar era, countries are accelerating the internationalization of their currencies.

The reason behind this is the visible decline of the bald eagle and the rise of other countries, especially our country.

Therefore, the most critical point to ensure currency robbery is the strength of the country.

Nowadays, what Ming Dynasty has done is even more exaggerated than the bald eagle of later generations. Zhu Yuanzhang is like directly letting all countries use Ming Dynasty treasure banknotes, and Ming Dynasty treasure banknotes have become the only legal currency.

Of course, this also relies on the Ming Dynasty's strong military strength.

"This matter is of great importance. We must go back and discuss it with His Majesty the King first."

Before the Siam envoy could finish speaking, he was directly interrupted by Zhu Yuanzhang.

"Last time, I said that I wanted to change the tribute system, and you said that you wanted to go back and discuss it. I have already given you a chance. But after you went back, there was no response in the world for half a year. Our Ming Dynasty has no longer held you accountable."

Zhu Yuanzhang stared at the Siamese envoy and said in a deep voice: "You still say that this time. Are you treating us like a monkey?"

"I will die, but I don't dare!" The envoy of Siam faced the pressure of Emperor Hongwu. At that moment, murderous intent rushed over his face, and he broke out in cold sweat. He knelt on the ground and kowtowed repeatedly to apologize.

Zhu Yuanzhang said: "The one who agrees to this matter is still a good neighbor of our Ming Dynasty. After the dynasty is over, he will go directly to sign the relevant credentials with the officials of the Ministry of Rites."

"If you don't agree, after walking out of this hall, the Ming Dynasty will no longer be their father's country and your suzerain country."

For a time, even the air above the main hall was filled with the smell of murder.

Zhu Yuanzhang's words were already a naked threat.

It is no longer the father's country, which means that your countries have no relationship with the Ming Dynasty.

If a child is disobedient, the father can at most teach the child a lesson.

But if even this level of relationship is gone, the two sides may even become enemies directly.

Korea is a lesson learned from the past.

The country will be destroyed in March!

The envoys of the Three Kingdoms were so silent that their souls were scared to death.

They don't think that their country will be much stronger than Goryeo. Even if they can defend it for four months, what's the point.

At this time, their hearts were extremely bitter.

If they don't agree, then they will be the culprits that lead to the destruction of their country.

If they agree, they will be labeled as traitors after they return to their own country after signing such a humiliating treaty.

But do they have a choice?

A weak country has no diplomacy!

After half a month, the incident of visits by envoys from various countries has finally come to an end.

No one wanted to become the next Koryo, so they finally agreed to Zhu Yuanzhang's request.

It just so happens that Ming Dynasty steelmaking requires a large amount of iron ore.

Zhu Yuanzhang planned to send people directly to these countries to buy the mining rights of the iron ore.

Japan.

Under Zhu Xi's governance, Izumo and Ishimi gradually went astray.

In addition to mining silver mines.

Under Zhu Fang's rule, the most developed industry was the Fengyue industry.

The original Japan gradually became the paradise island in the mouth of the wealthy gentry of the Ming Dynasty.

Now there are no more Japanese pirates in the coastal areas, and the Ming Dynasty's sea route to Japan is also escorted and patrolled by the Ming Navy.

The waterways are free of obstructions.

Coupled with the use of steam engines on sea-going ships, traveling between the Ming Dynasty and Japan became more convenient than before.

Some second-generation noble sons of Huaixi who have connections in the military will find connections to board warships that transport silver to Japan every month, and go to Japan to enjoy the paradise island.

The less powerful noble families took advantage of the merchant ships.

Come here, stay hidden and not be spotted.

The Sakura girls here only know how to write the word "kun" in several ways, but they don't know their identities at all.

Therefore, no one knows whether they are princes, nobles or gentry.

For these groups who need confidentiality, Zhu Ping also launched a special confidentiality service.

For a time, not only did Zhu Ping make a lot of money, but more importantly, he gained control over this group of people.

Of course, for the success of Zhu Xi's Paradise Island project, Ashikaga Takauji played a key role in constantly sending young girls to Zhu Xi.

Ashikaga Takauji also successfully obtained the Daming firearm from Zhu Xi.

Although it is just an old-fashioned firearm from the past, it does not improve the combat effectiveness at all.

Ashikaga Takauji established Japan's own firearms bureau, and used these firearms to continuously encroach on the power of Japan's Southern Dynasties.

Just two days ago, Japan was unified in one fell swoop.

And he actually kept his promise at the beginning and ceded the four territories of Izumo, Iwami, Hoki, and Bingo to Zhu Xi to demonstrate the friendship between the two countries.

For Ashikaga Takauji this move.

The people under my command were very puzzled.

Some of them believe that now that they have mastered firearms, not only should they not cede land to the Ming Dynasty, but they should also directly snatch back the silver mines of Iwami Yinshan in one fell swoop.

Others, although they said there was no need to be so radical, were not in favor of ceding territory.

You must know that at this time and that time, the reason why they agreed to cede the territory at that time was because they had no firearms in Japan and were not a match for the Ming Dynasty. This condition was just in exchange for the method of making firearms.

Now that the firearm is in hand, there is no need to continue to abide by this.

Ashikaga Takauji shook his head and said: "The firearms Zhu Xi gave us are not the same as the firearms used by Xu Da's army at that time."

"There is a huge difference in power and range, so we still need to be patient before we can get the real firearms of the Ming Dynasty."

These days, Ashikaga Takauji has been busy with the civil war and has no idea about the outside world.
