Ming Dynasty: Every day, Zhu Yuanzhang is in trouble

Money is the foundation of a country and the backbone of an emperor.

Money can be used in every aspect.

It’s hard to move without money.

Speaking of this, Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang's understanding of money, or economics, has reached a higher level than before.

After all, in the past one or two years, Zhu Yuanzhang has fully felt how useful having money is.

Without money, I don’t have the confidence to do many things.

After the Northern Yuan Dynasty royal court fled far away to the grassland, it was still able to survive and has not perished until now.

They can also establish some rule on the grassland.

In Zhu Yuanzhang's view, in addition to the fact that these Tatars originally rose from the grassland, that place belonged to their rear base and they already had their ruling foundation there, so many tribes naturally obeyed them.

Moreover, even though the Northern Yuan Dynasty had been beaten to the point of being torn apart by our side, its strength had been greatly reduced.

But after coming to the grassland, he still possesses great abilities.

Compared with what is happening in the Ming Dynasty, it is naturally insignificant.

But compared with those tribes on the grassland, their power is still very strong.

It is no exaggeration to say that it is a behemoth.

Of course, in addition to these, there is another important condition.

That is the Northern Yuan Dynasty Royal Court. Relying on the many craftsmen brought over, it was able to make money on the grassland.

These aspects of the economy did not collapse completely, and the economic order was barely maintained.

They could use their crudely made tools to legitimately gain huge profits from numerous tribes.

As long as the economy does not collapse, it will not be easy to completely destroy its rule on the grassland.

And now, what they are doing here is to further disintegrate the simple and fragile economic order established by the Northern Yuan Tatars on the grassland through trade exchanges.

Then they will dismantle their rule.

Here, a large amount of exquisite goods poured into the grassland.

Then in the future, the tribe on the grassland will definitely vote with their feet very honestly.

Come and choose your own Ming Dynasty, the more exquisite and cheaper utensils to exchange.

In this way, a lot of money would be earned by the people of the Ming Dynasty, and the income obtained by the Tartar royal court would naturally decrease greatly.

If you have money in your hands, you can do things with confidence.

Without money, many things you want to do cannot be done.

The adult world is not that simple.

Many things cannot be solved by just saying a few words or shouting a few slogans.

It requires real benefits.

Therefore, what they are doing now can be said to be precisely hitting the lifeline of those people on the grassland.

If this continues, not to mention anything else, the huge economic losses alone will make the people in the Tartar royal court unable to sit still.

Some action measures will be taken.

And the action they took was the best thing to do.

Because once action is taken, no matter what means they use, they will be able to stop the tribes on the grassland from trading with the Ming Dynasty.

That's all thankless work.

Before, the Ming Dynasty refused to trade with them, and the people of many tribes on the grassland had no choice.

You can only use those shoddy products at high prices.

Even so, the people from the Northern Yuan Dynasty’s royal court will limit the quantity!
It was difficult for ordinary tribes to exchange their wealth such as cattle and sheep for those crudely made tools.

Often you need to pay extra to get it.

But now, the Ming Dynasty has opened up to supply them with these things.

They have tasted the sweetness in their own Ming Dynasty, and it is obviously impossible to ask them to go back to the way they were before.

In the face of tangible interests, even the Northern Yuan Dynasty’s royal court is useless.

This will inevitably lead to conflicts among the tribes on the grassland.

Rapidly destroyed the relationship between the Northern Yuan Dynasty royal court and the grassland tribes.

Let the grassland no longer be a monolithic entity.

In addition to these, there are some other benefits.

For example, after witnessing the power of his own Ming Dynasty, he came into contact with many good things from his own Ming Dynasty and gained tangible benefits.

On the grassland, many people's views on the Ming Dynasty will also change accordingly.

Gradually, many people close to the Ming Dynasty emerged, and even tribes emerged.

In the future, when the Ming Dynasty is the vanguard attacking the Northern Yuan Dynasty, there will definitely be some people who are willing to lead the way for the Ming Dynasty.

Moreover, let’s not talk about the various great significances of these things that enabled the Ming Dynasty to destroy the Northern Yuan Dynasty.

Doing so would indeed allow the Ming Dynasty to gain tangible economic benefits from the transaction.

Speaking of which, according to the industrial level of the Ming Dynasty and its production capacity of various tools.

When they traded with the grasslands, they had exquisite goods at low prices, but this was only compared to when they traded with the tribes on the grasslands and their royal courts.

In fact, this price, which seems very low to many grassland people, is still much higher than the price of transactions within the Ming Dynasty.

In the past, whenever the Ming Dynasty fought against the grasslands, it would basically lose money.

Every time the army moves, countless food and supplies will be filled in, like a bottomless pit.

But now, through this method, the Ming Dynasty and the Northern Yuan Dynasty have successfully gained a lot of benefits before the fighting has really started.

In the past, Zhu Yuanzhang would never have dared to imagine such a thing.

This style of play was completely beyond his understanding.

Before this, he really had never thought that doing business, which was looked down upon by many civil officials, should be banned as much as possible.

If used properly, it can actually play such a big role!

This also broadened Zhu Yuanzhang's horizons.

I have some new ideas about doing business.

The attitude is completely different from before.

And here, they would think of using such methods to do these things very cleverly.

Obviously, this was not something that Zhu Yuanzhang and others came up with.

This was Mei Yin's idea.

At the beginning, Zhu Yuanzhang was somewhat skeptical about this matter.

However, after this matter had been implemented for more than a year, when Zhu Yuanzhang looked at it again, he had already put aside his original thoughts.

I became extremely determined on this matter.

He became more and more grateful to God for being kind to Ming Dynasty and giving him a good son-in-law like Mei Yin.

Things turned out to be just as Mei Yin had imagined before.

This method couldn't be better.

If this continues, it is only a matter of time before the Northern Yuan Tartars are destroyed by our side.

It was definitely more efficient and smooth than what he saw in the simulator, when Lan Yu destroyed the Northern Yuan Dynasty court in Buir Lake.

Much cleaner.

Speaking of which, according to the power comparison between the Ming Dynasty and the Northern Yuan Dynasty, at this time, the Northern Yuan Dynasty royal court was still able to survive and had not been destroyed.

The most important reason is not how difficult to deal with the Northern Yuan Dynasty’s royal court is or how powerful it is.

It is because the Northern Yuan Tartars have been beaten into obedience over the years.

He no longer dared to go against his own Ming Dynasty.

Hiding deep in the grassland.

This was especially true after Wang Baobao's death.

The location of the Northern Yuan Dynasty royal court is their top secret.

It was hidden so well that it was difficult for them to get accurate information about where the Northern Yuan Dynasty's royal court was hiding. Moreover, the location of the royal court was not fixed.

Throughout the year, we would change places from time to time.

This makes it even more difficult for the Ming Dynasty to destroy it.

Moreover, even we ourselves knew the location of the Northern Yuan Dynasty's royal court.

If you want to go and destroy it, you will need to march on the grassland for a long time.

It is difficult to hide such movement from the people on the grassland.

When the Northern Yuan Dynasty's royal court was still quite popular, many people on the grassland would spontaneously become the Northern Yuan Dynasty's royal court's eyes and ears.

He would actively spread the news of Ming Dynasty's military dispatch to distant places.

This will prompt the Tartar royal court to take action.

It will also change the location of their royal court, making it impossible for the Ming Dynasty to catch them.

And one can imagine how much pressure there would be on the supply of food and other logistics if the battle were to be carried out deep into the northern desert.

The requirements are very high.

Under such circumstances, it is reasonable that it is difficult for the Ming Dynasty to catch them.

In the past, Zhu Yuanzhang would get a headache whenever he thought of these things.

I just find it hard to crack.

This is also why, when Wang Baobao passed away, he had to watch such a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity slip away because of what Li Shanchang and others had done.

Would be so angry.

Under such circumstances, Zhu Yuanzhang even had some ideas.

He wondered if it was still necessary, just like what he saw in the simulator.

It was not until the 20th year of Hongwu that it was completely destroyed.

But now, he doesn't have to worry about it anymore.

With this idea given by his good son-in-law, the Suobei Yuan royal court has become a dish.

There's no way to escape even if you have wings!

In no more than three years, the Northern Yuan Dynasty's royal court will be completely destroyed.

I can only say that Mei Yin is worthy of being my good son-in-law. He is different from ordinary people.

It is always so unexpected. It is always able to provide such novel, yet extremely useful methods to solve these problems.

The more Zhu Yuanzhang thought about it, the happier he felt.

I just feel that life is really promising.

……

"Father, I am willing to lead the Ming fleet to defeat Japan!"

Two months later, in the Wuying Palace, Prince of Yan Zhu Di looked at Zhu Yuanzhang and solemnly asked for a fight.

"The Japanese country once killed our Ming envoys, and now they are trying to rob our Ming merchant caravan without knowing how to live or die!
It's really unbearable!

This barbarian must be taught a lesson!
There must be no leniency!

Only in this way can these people become honest!

The barbarians fear power but not virtue.

I volunteer to fight, to crush Japan and avenge our previous humiliation!"

Zhu Di's voice was passionate and full of strong desire to fight.

By the way, with the temporary stability in the southwest.

Zhu Di also returned from Guangdong.

At this time, Guangdong was guarded by Zhu Di and integrated through some means.

Compared with before, the situation has become much clearer.

It would be fine to let some other people do the work there.

I won’t miss important things again.

Zhu Di, on the other hand, was originally unable to lead his troops to fight on the battlefield because he was stationed in the rear.

There is a lot of energy in my heart.

When he was leaving Guangdong, he suddenly received a piece of news.

It is said that they are from Japan and they still have evil intentions.

Some Japanese pirates actually wanted to rob the Ming Dynasty's World Expo caravan.

After receiving this news, Zhu Di became furious instantly.

Then there was the pleasant surprise.

good good!
He was itching to give these people a good beating.

As a result, under such circumstances, Japan still did not know what was good for its life and death and had the audacity to do such a thing.

How could Zhu Di not be happy?
What does it mean when someone gives you a pillow just because you feel sleepy?
This is what it means when you feel sleepy, someone will give you a pillow!
So, the scene that happened in the Wuying Palace today happened.

"Okay, Lao Si, we'll grant your request!

Next, you will be the general leading the East China Sea Fleet of the Ming Dynasty to Japan to resolve this matter!
Once you get there, you will be in charge of all matters!

We must let this tiny country know the etiquette of our Celestial Empire and feel its education!

The gold and silver over there must also be brought over.

It would be best to properly resolve the situation there and make it a province of our Ming Dynasty.

Those people are not worthy to live in such a place.

Moreover, it’s not that we are wrong in this matter.

It was these bastards who provoked me in the past.

Moreover, since ancient times, it has also been the territory of our China.

Back then, Xu Fu went out to sea, bringing with him three thousand boys and girls, and crossed the sea to the east.

They also established a country there and became the ancestor there.

It’s just that these unfilial sons and grandchildren have forgotten their ancestors and have forgotten all these things.

But they forgot, and we must not forget!
At this time, we naturally want to take back the place that belongs to China!"

Zhu Yuanzhang casually asked Zhu Di "since ancient times".

Now, both the reasons and the righteousness are there.

After hearing what his father said, Zhu Di was overjoyed.

He immediately knelt on one knee, saluted Zhu Yuanzhang solemnly and said: "I obey your command!
I will definitely live up to my father's trust and take good care of things when I get there.

Take back all the places that belong to our Ming Dynasty!"

The voice was passionate, with a faint sound of metal clashing.

It is said that before meeting his father, Zhu Di was still a little nervous.

He was afraid that his father would still not be willing to let him lead his men to attack Japan.

I want to wait a few more years.

Fortunately, now that I have met my father and the queen, I have the confirmation.

He need not worry about this matter any more.

Thinking about what his father said about Xu Fu leading people to the east, he agreed even more.

I feel that what my father said is very right.

And once again, I felt the breadth and profoundness of China.

This is the good thing about China when facing its neighbors.

We can always find solid and powerful evidence from history books.

To the surrounding places, say since ancient times!
