Daming: Dad, you are really not good at governing the country

Chapter 425: I can find more sources of funds for national defense construction. I am not afraid of risks.
The candlelight flickered in the hall, and the light and shadows were mottled and intertwined between the carved beams and painted buildings.

Zhu Gang became more and more excited as he spoke, and his voice became louder and louder in the hall.

It seemed as if it could penetrate the palace walls and reach the sky.

He walked back and forth with big strides, and every step he took seemed to carry a tremendous amount of force.

The vibration made the ground of the hall tremble slightly, as if it could really leave deep footprints on the bluestone slabs.

To everyone present, it seemed that Zhu Gang wanted to imprint all his thoughts into every corner of this majestic hall.

"Father, please listen to me carefully."

Zhu Gang stopped and gestured vigorously in the air with his hands.

"When the imperial court is faced with another major national defense task in the future, or when the demand for military expenditure increases greatly, this method can be used to quickly raise funds from all walks of life.

Think about it, there are many people in our Ming Dynasty, and they have plenty of idle money.

If we could pool these scattered silver coins together and direct them toward national defense construction projects that are vital to the stability of the Ming Dynasty, that would be a great way to kill two birds with one stone!

In this way, national defense construction will have a broader source of funds, and will not have to rely solely on traditional methods such as treasury appropriations.

From now on, even if we encounter a major event like a war, we won’t have to worry about having no money! ”

After saying that, Zhu Gang rubbed his hands excitedly. The way his hands rubbed looked like rapidly spinning windmills in the wind, causing a slight sound of wind.

His eyes were as bright as stars, shining, and his face was filled with pride at his idea.

The expression was as if at this moment, Zhu Gang already possessed all the treasures in the world.

Anyone who took a look at him could clearly see that he was filled with excitement and pride.

Zhu Yuanzhang sat upright on the dragon throne, his face as calm as water.

But his slightly furrowed brows revealed that his heart was not as calm as he appeared to be.

After listening to Zhu Gang's story, Zhu Yuanzhang stopped his slow pace.

He turned around slowly, and the movement of turning was filled with a natural aura of majesty.

The hem of the dragon robe fluttered violently, just like a gust of wind sweeping across the vast desert, raising a sky full of dust.

The young eunuchs serving on the side were so frightened that they lowered their heads unconsciously, not daring to look directly at him.

"Humph, judging from what Wang Danian reported, the effect of your trial method of raising military funds doesn't seem to be very good."

Zhu Yuanzhang's voice was low and majestic, like thunder rolling in the hall.

"Third brother, your method sounds good, but why is it so difficult to implement it in practice?

Is there something wrong? Please tell me in detail."

Zhu Yuanzhang has always been extremely cautious about new things.

After all, the stability of the world and the rise and fall of the court all depend on him.

Zhu Yuanzhang had to be cautious about anything that might bring unnecessary trouble to the court.

At this moment, his eyes were filled with doubt, and they were like a bottomless cold pond.

It was cold and unpredictable, as if it could freeze one's thoughts in that one glance.

Although his brows were still slightly furrowed, there was actually a hint of barely perceptible relief flashing in the depths of his eyes.

Zhu Yuanzhang thought to himself: Although the third brother sometimes acts rashly, it is rare that he cares about national defense.

But he quickly hid this feeling of relief.

His face still had that serious and scrutinizing look, and that serious expression was like an icy mountain that was difficult to cross.

As he spoke, Zhu Yuanzhang folded his hands over his chest and stared at Zhu Gang, as if he could see through him.

Those eyes were like two sharp swords, piercing straight at his third son. Upon seeing this, Zhu Gang hurriedly stepped forward, bowed, and explained anxiously: "Father, the reason why the effect is not good is because the court has not issued a clear relevant decree.

As a vassal king, I should abide by the rules of my status.

You cannot step in and do things that are not appropriate for your status.

As the saying goes, if the name is not right, the words will not flow, and if the words are not flowing, things will not be accomplished.

If the emperor can allow my elder brother to issue relevant policies to support the Ming Dynasty bank to implement this method, it will definitely achieve twice the result with half the effort! "

There was an air of urgency in Zhu Gang's voice. He was anxious to let his father know that this method was feasible, but it required certain support from the court.

At this moment, Zhu Gang's voice was firm and his hands unconsciously clenched slightly.

He leaned forward even further, almost lying on the table in front of him.

The posture was like that of a devout believer praying to God for blessings, trying to convince Zhu Yuanzhang in one go.

Zhu Gang's eyes were wide open, staring at Zhu Yuanzhang with a sharp gaze, his eyes revealing unquestionable determination.

That look was like a burning flame, hot and fierce, able to burn away all the doubts that stood in the way.

Zhu Yuanzhang snorted coldly and said slowly: "Hmph, your method is good, but economic matters are always complicated.

The court's finances are already tight now. If this law is vigorously promoted, who will be held responsible if something goes wrong?
We can't take risks with the Ming Dynasty!"

Zhu Yuanzhang's tone became even more severe. As an emperor, he had to consider the stability of the entire court and the financial security.

Zhu Yuanzhang was naturally cautious about things that might bring risks.

There was sternness and worry in his eyes, which were like thunder and lightning in a storm.

It is both intimidating and dangerous.

Zhu Yuanzhang's brows were deeply frowned, and the hint of relief that had just flashed across his eyes had long disappeared.

Instead, he took a serious look at the situation.

That solemn expression seemed as if the entire sky was pressing down on him, making it hard to breathe.

As he spoke, Zhu Yuanzhang slammed the table beside him. The sound echoed in the silent hall, as deafening as thunder.

The servants around were so frightened that they shrank back and hid aside like frightened rabbits.

Upon hearing this, Zhu Gang bowed again without hesitation and said in a resolute tone: "Father, I am willing to take on this responsibility.

As long as I can find more funding sources for Ming's national defense construction, I am not afraid of taking risks.

I, as a son, am willing to take on this responsibility for the Ming Dynasty as a vassal king!"

There was determination in Zhu Gang's eyes; he was well aware of the importance of national defense.

For the sake of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Gang was willing to take the risk.

As he spoke, he straightened his body and placed his hands at his sides with clenched fists.

His fists were clenched so tightly that his knuckles turned white.

His clenched fists seemed like two pieces of hard steel, and his every move showed an attitude of not backing down, trying to show Zhu Yuanzhang his determination.

That determination is like a towering mountain, standing there, and will not be shaken in the slightest by wind and rain.

Zhu Yuanzhang glanced at Zhu Gang and said, "Huh, do you think you can handle this?
This is not just a matter for you; it concerns the foundation of the imperial court and the safety of the Ming Dynasty.

"Third brother, don't think you can get away with it just because you're so passionate!"

Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes were filled with doubt and worry; he was not sure whether Zhu Gang was really capable of shouldering such a responsibility.
