Ming Dynasty: The poisonous imperial teacher, Zhu Yuanzhang advised me to be kind

Chapter 52 Let the unscrupulous merchants sell fake medicine to the Beiyuan people. If it succeeds, the Beiyuan people will die, and if it fails, the unscrupulous merchants will be robbed!
“You’re selling fake medicine!!!”

The people present were not fools. When Chu Nan gave this hint, they immediately understood Chu Nan's idea. However, this idea was so terrifying that everyone was shocked.

Zhu Biao widened his eyes in disbelief.

"Master Chu, your idea is to use the corpses of corrupt officials to pollute the Beiyuan environment and suppress a wave of Beiyuan people."

"Then the Beiyuan people must be short of medicine to treat diseases. At this time, you can sell medicine and make money again. But not only do you want to make this money, but you also want to sell fake medicine to weaken the Beiyuan people again?"

Liu Bowen was a little annoyed: "Isn't this too vicious? The people of the Northern Yuan Dynasty are treated like this, they are a little pitiful, right?"

Zhu Yuanzhang, who was extremely murderous, looked a little embarrassed at this moment.

Would it be too much to do this?
No matter how many people he killed, he hoped that everyone in the world would be good people, and that people from all over the Ming Dynasty would submit and stop causing trouble, so that he would not care about them.

But Chu Nan is totally disregarding these people as human beings and not giving them a chance to live.

"Is this cruel?" But Chu Nan frowned after hearing this.

"If this is considered cruel, then what about the 100,000 Song soldiers who were forced to jump into the sea by the Northern Yuan people during the Battle of Yashan?"

"What about the common people who were starving and had no food to eat during the late Yuan Dynasty?"

"After the Ming Dynasty was established, the Northern Yuan people often harassed the Ming border. Today they stole two sheep from you, and tomorrow they stole two women from you and raped them. What did that mean to them?"

As he spoke, Chu Nan's expression also became serious: "It's still true what I said, being kind to the enemy is being cruel to your own people."

"I, Chu Nan, am not qualified to pity the current Beiyuan people on behalf of those who were slaughtered by Beiyuan."

"That's right!" After Chu Nan finished speaking, Zhu Yuanzhang understood it instantly.

At the same time, I became annoyed.

What was I thinking just now? I actually felt sorry for the people of the Northern Yuan Dynasty?

My parents and brothers starved to death because of the brutal rule of the Northern Yuan Dynasty! Even the bodies of my parents were hastily buried!
Do you feel sorry for them?
Damn it, I’m going to kill all the Yuanpi in the world!
"This..." Liu Bowen also lowered his head. He felt that he was really old and was indeed confused just now.

How can we pity the people of the Northern Yuan Dynasty? How foolish!

The princes also bowed their heads. They lived too well and had never experienced the hard days of being ruled by the Northern Yuan people. They thought they were using their kindness in the wrong place. How could they sympathize with the enemy?

Chu Nan’s teaching was right. Thinking of this, they admired Chu Nan even more.

"Lord Chu." But Zhu Di became curious again.

"But there is a problem here. Didn't we dump the bodies of corrupt officials in the southern part of the Northern Yuan Dynasty? The people of the Northern Yuan Dynasty can't survive in their southern part, and we can't survive there either."

"If we can't get through, how can we trade with the Beiyuan people?"

"Yes." Everyone present also frowned. If they couldn't get through and couldn't trade with the Northern Yuan people, then Chu Nan's method would become empty talk.

"Lord Chu, your method won't work." Zhu Biao shook his head.

I didn't expect Chu Nan to have it too. When you shot yourself in the foot, you created such a large vacuum zone between the Northern Yuan Dynasty and the Ming Dynasty. How can you still trade?
"It seems that it is still unrealistic to sell things to the Northern Yuan Dynasty. We should consider selling things to other countries." Zhu Yuanzhang also came to a conclusion.

"Your Majesty, the Crown Prince, and all the princes, please don't be anxious." But when Chu Nan heard their conclusion, he just smiled faintly.

"Who said that the Ming Dynasty can't sell things to the Northern Yuan Dynasty now?"

"Besides, who said that if the Ming Dynasty wants to sell things from the Northern Yuan Dynasty, then the Ming Dynasty court must go and sell them in person?"

"What do you mean?" Zhu Yuanzhang and others were puzzled.

"Even the imperial court can't sell Northern Yuan things? Who else can sell Northern Yuan things?"

"Hehe..." Chu Nan laughed when he heard it. "Your Majesty, do you remember that I told you before that the role of profiteers is actually quite big?"

"You can't just use unscrupulous businessmen to create corrupt officials and raid their homes."

"What you mean is..." Hearing Chu Nan's words, the princes immediately felt something was wrong.

"Master Chu, what do you want to do?"

"Hehe." Seeing that they were shocked, Chu Nan also laughed.

"As the saying goes, people die for money, birds die for food, and unscrupulous businessmen will think of any way to make money."

"So the Ming court had no way to trade with the Northern Yuan. Do you think the profiteers had no way to trade with the Northern Yuan? Then your majesty said before that those profiteers secretly sold the food for disaster relief to the Northern Yuan and the Nüzhen people. How did they do that?"

"So as long as we let the profiteers know that diseases are rampant in the Northern Yuan Dynasty and that the Ming Dynasty has medicine to cure them, they will immediately think that this is a business opportunity and will try every possible means to sell these medicines to the people of the Northern Yuan Dynasty."

"What? Are you really going to let the unscrupulous merchants sell it?" Although these princes had roughly guessed Chu Nan's thoughts after Chu Nan's hint, they were shocked again when Chu Nan said it directly.

Chu Nan is so scary. No wonder he has always said that unscrupulous businessmen are useful.

Not only do you want all their property, but you also want them to help you sell fake medicine! Chu Nan, you are really good!

Zhu Yuanzhang was also numb at this moment. He always thought that he was very good at using people. He used Li Shanchang, Liu Bowen, Hu Weiyong, Xu Da, and Chang Yuchun correctly.

But compared with Chu Nan's use of people today, he is really a small fry compared to the big one.

The corrupt officials were used by Chu Nan to the point where their bodies were gone, and the unscrupulous businessmen were almost used by Chu Nan as well. It's so scary.

"Yes!" Chu Nan nodded when he heard their shock.

"Of course we should let these profiteers help us sell fake medicine? Should we let people from the Ming Dynasty court do it? If the Yuan people find out that it is fake medicine, wouldn't the people from the court die? That would be such a pity."

"This..." The princes were stunned when they heard this.

You are really great. The people in the court are not dead, but the unscrupulous businessmen were killed by you.

They took the medicine a long way to the Northern Yuan Dynasty to sell it. The people in the Northern Yuan Dynasty thought they were living Bodhisattvas who saved people from suffering, and then they ate the medicine.

But in the end, it was all useless. The people of Beiyuan died, and the profiteers also died, all because of you, Chu Nan.

"But..." Zhu Yuanzhang fell into deep thought again.

"Chun Nan, there is another question. What if the people of Beiyuan discovered that the medicine was fake from the beginning? Or, what if the unscrupulous merchants discovered that the medicine was fake and refused to sell it?"

"Yes." The princes also nodded.

"If the people of Beiyuan find out that the medicine is fake, they can solve the problem by selling it in batches, for example, selling the real medicine in the first batch and the fake medicine in the second batch. This will definitely deceive many people of Beiyuan."

"But what if the unscrupulous merchants find out that the medicine is fake? They will definitely stop selling it, right?"

Zhu Yuanzhang also nodded. Chu Nan’s plan had a lot of problems and could not be implemented.

"What's the problem with this?" Chu Nan laughed when he heard it.

"The problems discovered by the Beiyuan people can be solved in batches according to the princes' method."

"And when unscrupulous businessmen figure out what to do with this problem, it's easy to solve."

"If any unscrupulous merchant finds out that he doesn't want to sell, we will tie up his entire family and threaten him with his family's lives to force him to sell. If he still doesn't sell, we will force him to drink a slow-acting poison and only give him the antidote if he sells."
