I, Zhu Houzhao, join the US imperialist chat group

Chapter 146 Radical Zhu Houzhao! Daming Broadcast! When you come to Ming Dynasty, you will receive a thousand taels of gold!

"Second thing, the Ministry of Punishment, Dali Temple, and the Metropolitan Procuratorate, please make a recent statistics on the criminals currently on trial and serving sentences in our Ming Dynasty. We will notify the whole country and ask all localities and yamen to send the criminals they imprisoned to Fengyang Mansion. !”

Zhu Houzhao said something completely unrelated in the blink of an eye, catching Sansi off guard again.

"Your Majesty? Are all the criminals coming to Fengyang?"

Shi Sheng of the Metropolitan Procuratorate was stunned. He had no idea what Zhu Houzhao wanted to do. The two people from the Ministry of Punishment and Dali Temple were also shocked. They had just taken away the business of the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Personnel in the north, and Zhu Houzhao wanted to poach the Ministry of Punishment, Dali Temple and the Northern Ministry of Justice. The corner of the Metropolitan Procuratorate?

"Of course it's a general amnesty!"

Zhu Houzhao didn't explain much. It can't be said that these guys in the Ming Dynasty's officialdom are just losers and can't do anything. He can only send criminals to appear, right?

"Your Majesty...is this for the sake of never setting the sun?"

The only ones present who could follow the train of thought were probably Tang Bohu and Xu Zhenqing, who were listening to politics in the side hall.

As soon as these strange arrangements came out, Tang Bohu and the others thought of the map of the world. What were the conditions for the Ming Dynasty to be formed first? It was obviously people.

"Amnesty to the world..."

Does Amnesty need to bring all the criminals from all over the country here?

The Minister of Punishment wanted to complain, but looked at Zhu Houzhao's unquestionable expression and resolutely did not express any doubts.

"Ministry of Punishment, Dali Temple, Metropolitan Procuratorate, are there any questions?"

"No."

The three bosses did not dare to object and could only continue.

"The third thing is, I'm going to go to the West!"

"Shishi Shipping Department, I will give you one month. According to the scale of the Sanbao eunuch's voyage to the West, I will continue to send my Ming fleet on a small scale, and then sail to the West..."

Then, amidst everyone's astonishment, Zhu Houzhao calmly announced the third thing.

"Wow!"

Although his tone was calm, it was no less than a stone that stirred up a thousand waves, and all the civil and military officials in Jinling were in an uproar.

"Your Majesty! No!"

"The voyage to the Western Ocean is expensive, and our Ming Dynasty simply cannot afford to build a fleet during the Yongle period!"

"That's right! Your Majesty, going to the West is a waste of money and people! This will increase the burden on the people of Ming Dynasty. You must not do it!"

At this moment, some officials who had been silent just now couldn't sit still and started to comfort them one after another, as if they were stepping on their tails by going to the Western Sea, which aroused the fiercest resistance.

Zhu Houzhao didn't stop him, he just looked at the officials who spoke out in opposition.

Until these officials sensed something was wrong and had no choice but to shut up.

"Are you finished?"

Zhu Houzhao was really disappointed now. He didn't expect that the civil and military officials in Jinling and the civil and military officials in the north had the same virtues. He looked at their cries like a toad sitting in a well watching the sky.

Everyone only knows how to bark, but they don't know that there are already Spanish and Portuguese people on the vast sea, exploring this vast world as much as possible.

They will only stay in their ways.

The emperor didn't even allow a single thought.

Fengtian Temple became quiet again.

"Your Majesty... His voyage to the West, is this related to the anniversary of Taizu's death?"

However, at this moment, it was Zhu Youqi who stood up and raised questions because everyone's reaction was too intense.

Zhu Houzhao managed to condense the current good political situation through the bait of the interim cabinet. It would be a pity to ruin it all because of his radical stance.

He also knew why Zhu Houzhao didn't tell him these things first.

I'm afraid I'm also afraid of his objection.

"It's relevant, why doesn't it matter? The trip of the Three Treasures Eunuchs to the West in the past showed the grand scene of our Ming Dynasty when all the nations came to court! This is also the achievement that Taizong is most proud of. This is the most glorious and powerful time of our Ming Dynasty. Why? Can Taizu miss it?”

Yes, Taizu is a pot, he can put whatever he wants into it.

As soon as Zhu Houzhao said these words, everyone was blocked again.

Yes, yes, you are the emperor, and whatever you say is right. Such a willful Zhu Houzhao made everyone think again that their emperor was only sixteen years old and his understanding of the world was too ideal and pure. He would be beaten severely in the future.

"So, Shibo Division, is there a problem?"

Zhu Houzhao looked at the person in charge of the Municipal Shipping Department.

"Your Majesty, your Majesty, your Majesty, your Majesty..." How dare officials from the Shipping Department dare to accept this matter?

"Huang Bao, can you take over this matter?"

Zhu Houzhao looked directly at Huang Bao.

"Your Majesty, I will do my best." Huang Bao could only bite the bullet and agreed first, only to realize that it seemed difficult to be the vice president.

"Well, I will leave this matter entirely to you. In eight days, I will see the first Western fleet set off. I can give you the right to do things cheaply and temporarily dispatch six troops."

Zhu Houzhao was very satisfied with Huang Bao's attitude and directly delegated power to him.

Huang Bao felt the cannibalistic look in his eyes, and his scalp immediately went numb and he could only respond: "I will definitely live up to the emperor's kindness."

"it is good!"

"The last thing, this matter is actually related to the voyage to the West. After Huang Bao and you sail to the West... directly announce it to the Yi people you meet along the way, no, everyone. As long as they can reach the Ming Dynasty, I will directly Give him a thousand taels of gold."

"Within half a year, I want as many people as possible in the world to know this news."

Zhu Houzhao finally announced something that seemed even more ridiculous.

"what!?"

"what?"

"Your Majesty... Thousand taels of gold? I, we, we... no, this... Your Majesty, we..."

Huang Baodu was speechless. This matter was so outrageous that he didn't even know how to describe it.

"Your Majesty, a thousand taels of gold? I, we don't have that much money! And... give the barbarians a thousand taels of gold, why? There are a thousand taels of gold, why don't you give it to us... no, to the people of the Ming Dynasty, Those barbarians are just uncivilized savages!" Zheng Ji spoke up for Huang Bao.

Lin Han, Zhu Youzhao and others looked at Zhu Houzhao like a madman, no, a fool.

Their Majesty, is he crazy or something? He has become so unreasonable and radical today.

"Haha, who said we didn't give anything to the people of the Ming Dynasty! Taizu and Taizong clearly gave a lot... weren't your treasures worth thousands of gold at that time?"

Zhu Houzhao smiled and directly felt the crushing of his thinking, structure, and vision.

As the Portuguese have said, Marco Polo had already declared two or three hundred years ago that the East was full of gold.

Now, he will fulfill Marco Polo's wish. When he comes to Ming Dynasty, he will have gold, and it will be a thousand taels of gold. Isn't this more faithful than Marco Polo?

"Baoqian...this..."

This turning point dodges Zheng Ji's old waist on the spot.

Your Majesty, please finish it in one breath. You are talking about gold... Then you must understand it this way, and you are right!
At that time, who among them didn't have thousands or tens of thousands of treasure notes in their hands? According to the face value during the Hongwu period, they were indeed worth thousands of gold.

"Your Majesty, this...isn't this a lie? To trick those barbarians into coming to Ming Dynasty..."

"What's the benefit of this?"

Zhu Youyi didn't understand Zhu Houzhao even more. If he really did this, the reputation that Ming Dynasty had finally built for a century would probably be destroyed in one day.

"There is some benefit. By then...our Ming Dynasty's population will exceed 100 million!"

Think about the fact that the sun never sets, and think about the United States, whose population can easily exceed 70 to 80 million, or 300 to 400 million.

Zhu Houzhao could not accept this gap and could only work hard to catch up.

Similarly, there is another advantage to doing this. Once these people enter the Ming Dynasty, these reading grandfathers who sit in the well and look at the sky can open their eyes and see how big the world is.

"Your Majesty, I thought of something, that is...are the barbarians captured by others counted?"

"Also, Your Majesty, the value of our current treasure banknotes... is not much worse than the value of the treasure banknotes from the Renxuan period of Yongle. Even if we really give them thousands of treasure banknotes, this is still money."

Huang Bao also seriously thought about the feasibility of this matter, and then raised a more realistic question.

　A bold move, this kind of plot should be what you want to see! That’s 6,000 words today!
