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

Chapter 59: Chu Nan’s horrific plot made the money of the Northern Yuan people worthless!

"What? Still trading with them?" Zhu Yuanzhang's face changed drastically after hearing Chu Nan's words.

"The Nuzhen people are cooperating with the Beiyuan people and coveting the Central Plains. The Japanese want to buy firearms and occupy the Central Plains. Are they going to kill us with knives? Do we still want to negotiate money with them?"

Zhu Yuanzhang wondered if Chu Nan was obsessed with money.

You can make money, but there must be a bottom line.

By making deals with these people with evil ambitions, they are helping them to become stronger. If they become stronger, how can the Ming Dynasty survive?
"This is absolutely not okay."

The other princes also shook their heads: "Master Chu, you are too narrow-minded this time. Some money is not clean and cannot be earned."

Liu Bowen also shook his head: "Chun Nan, you have to have a bottom line as a human being."

"What?" But Chu Nan was speechless when he saw that they actually misunderstood him.

"Your Majesty, do you think I am such a person without any bottom line?"

"Yes." After hearing Chu Nan's words, Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly felt something was wrong.

Although Chu Nan is very vicious, he still has a bottom line towards the Ming Dynasty and is still very patriotic. He is also vicious to his enemies.

So Zhu Yuanzhang was curious: "If they are so malicious, why do you still want to trade with them?"

"Yes." The other princes also reacted. Chu Nan should not be a person without bottom line. Could he have any other plan?
But in the current situation, there should be no better way than Zhu Di's, which is to take direct action.

They were curious: "Master Chu, do you have any better tricks?"

"Of course." Chu Nan smiled faintly when he heard them asking.

He had no way to deal with the Japanese and the Northern Yuan people, but netizens in later generations contributed many methods.

"I have a plan for dealing with the Beiyuan people and the Nuzhen people. It's a bit poisonous."

"There is another plan to deal with the Japanese, which is even more vicious."

"A vicious plot?" Everyone present was shocked when they heard Chu Nan's words. It was another vicious plot. They swallowed their saliva. Someone was going to be in big trouble this time.

However, the people we are dealing with this time are all enemies who deserve to be killed, so it’s okay to use a little poison.

But Zhu Di was a little skeptical. No matter how vicious Chu Nan's plan was, it couldn't be as vicious as his. He didn't believe that his plan was not as powerful as Chu Nan's.

Zhu Yuanzhang also asked directly: "Then tell me how to deal with the Nuzhen people and the Yuan people."

After all, the Yuan people ruled China for such a long time, and the Great Jin established by the Zhen people also ruled northern China for such a long time.

These two forces are closer to the Ming Dynasty, so Zhu Yuanzhang wanted to ask first how to deal with them.

"It's not difficult to deal with these two forces." Chu Nan also spoke up when he saw this.

"The Yuan people's living space has been compressed by us, their population has decreased, and their food reserves have also been affected, so they want to come to the Ming Dynasty to get food."

"So they are already living a miserable life now, and what we need to do is to press on and defeat them completely. To completely defeat a country, we need to start from all aspects."

"Food is one thing, and they have already suffered losses in this regard. Population is one thing, and they have also suffered losses. Territory is one thing, and they have also suffered losses. But there is still one thing left."

"What is it?" Everyone frowned and looked at Chu Nan.

Chu Nan didn't say anything more: "It's the economy."

"Yes!" Everyone present nodded.

There is also the economy. The Yuan people are already in a miserable state, and the people in the country are probably demoralized. If the economy suffers another blow, the Northern Yuan Dynasty will probably collapse directly.

It has to be Chu Nan, he has a very far-sighted vision.

Then they became curious: "What method was used? It's not easy to suppress a country's economy."

"But it's not difficult." Chu Nan shook his head when he heard what they said.

"If you want to cause a country's economy to collapse, the first thing is to make the people penniless, and the second thing is to make the valuable things in a country become worthless."

“And I can do both of these.”

"How is it possible?" Everyone present was shocked when they heard Chu Nan's words. Are you a god, Chu Nan? First of all, it is impossible to make the people of Beiyuan penniless?
How did you do it? By robbing? If the Ming Dynasty had this ability, it would have destroyed the Northern Yuan Dynasty long ago. Why would it worry about how to deal with the Northern Yuan Dynasty now?

Zhu Yuanzhang also didn't believe it. Chu Nan was too boastful. You should stop yelling at him!

But Chu Nan ignored them and took out something he had prepared in advance from his pocket.

"Your Majesty, please look at what this is."

"What!" The people present were immediately shocked when they saw what Chu Nan was holding.

I saw that what Chu Nan was holding in his hand was a human-shaped statue the size of a teacup, crystal clear, and glowing with a yellow-green light. Although it was a statue, it was transparent and looked very beautiful overall.

"What is this?" When Zhu Chong, Zhu Di and other princes saw it, they were all surprised. It looked like a treasure, but they might have never seen it before.

"Your Highnesses, haven't you seen it?" Liu Bowen was knowledgeable and naturally recognized it.

"This is colored glaze, a product of nature. Its price is comparable to gold. A small piece is already priceless. I didn't expect that Lord Chu actually has such a large piece in his hands."

Zhu Yuanzhang also nodded and said: "I have this treasure in my treasury, but I am afraid that you will be naughty, so I have kept it locked and not shown it to you."

"So that's how it is?" Zhu Chong and Zhu Di immediately understood, and then they became disdainful again.

"So my father also has this treasure, so it's not unique."

"No." But Zhu Yuanzhang shook his head when he heard what the two said.

"There are some pieces in my treasury that are bigger than Chu Nan's, but their quality is definitely not as good as this one, so Chu Nan's piece is better than all the colored glass in my treasury."

"What?" Hearing this, everyone present was shocked and looked at Chu Nan in disbelief.

He has treasures that the emperor doesn't have. Doesn't that mean he is richer than the emperor?
Zhu Yuanzhang also frowned and looked at Chu Nan: "Chun Nan, could it be that I gave you so much gold, and you bought this?"

Then he was puzzled again: "But, this thing is good, but what does it have to do with our discussion on how to strike at the economy of the Northern Yuan Dynasty?"

"Haha." Chu Nan laughed when he heard it.

"Your Majesty, of course it does."

"What if I use this glass item to buy cattle and sheep from the Northern Yuan people, or exchange it for their gold and silver currency?"

"Then you can definitely buy a lot of cattle and sheep, and exchange for a lot of gold and silver." Zhu Yuanzhang nodded affirmatively. After all, this thing is of great value.

The others also nodded. This made sense. However, since this thing could be regarded as a national treasure, no one should be stupid enough to exchange it for cattle, sheep, gold and silver, right?

"But." But Chu Nan laughed again.

"Your Majesty, if I had a hundred colored glass items and I were to exchange them for cattle, sheep, gold and silver from the Northern Yuan people, what would happen?"

"One hundred?" Zhu Yuanzhang was shocked. How could one person have so many glass items? Even he didn't have so many. Was Chu Nan bragging again?
But he still answered seriously: "That would definitely buy a lot of cattle, sheep, gold and silver from the Northern Yuan Dynasty. I guess it would be enough to buy a medium-sized tribe in the Northern Yuan Dynasty, including the people and livestock."

"What if there are 10,000 glass products?" Chu Nan continued.

"Ten thousand?" Zhu Yuanzhang was speechless after hearing this. He probably didn't have so many glassware in the entire Ming Dynasty. Wasn't Chu Nan exaggerating?

But he still answered seriously: "If there were 10,000 of them, I would probably be able to buy the entire Beiyuan."

"Then what is the method you mentioned?"

The others were also puzzled. Chu Nan kept asking such unrealistic questions. Why were there so many glass beads? What was Chu Nan's method?

But when Chu Nan heard it, he still smiled and asked.

"What if there are a million glass products?"

"What do you mean one million?" But this time, Zhu Yuanzhang didn't have the patience to answer.

"Things are valuable because they are rare. If there were a million glass products, they would have been worthless. But how could there be so many glass products in the world? Chu Nan, stop talking nonsense."

"Haha, Your Majesty, I am not talking nonsense." Chu Nan laughed when he heard Zhu Yuanzhang.

"Because I can really make a million glass products."
