Ming Dynasty: Pick up attributes from the battlefield to create the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 390 Zhu Ying Displays Martial Power! (Speaking throughout the myriad realms!)

Zhu Ying's words were resounding and powerful.

Taking advantage of the results of commercial tax collection, the fundamental reform was thoroughly pushed into the open.

No amount of empty talk can compare to tangible results.

The 80 million taels of commercial tax revenue plus industrial tax revenue is the true manifestation of the results.

and this.

It was under Zhu Ying's subtle influence that the royal property was used as the foundation to promote the fundamental gains of merchants.

Because of the needs of the royal industry, salt production required various purification tools, and soap making, sugar production, and perfume production also required various raw material supplies. Under the huge market demand of the entire Ming Dynasty, many downstream suppliers also emerged.

This is what gave rise to commerce.

Even among ordinary people, many insightful businessmen saw the business opportunities and realized that the future of the Ming Dynasty was no longer about prioritizing agriculture and suppressing commerce, and that investment was increasing.

And now!
above the hall.

There was silence and silence.

"A nation's strength lies in its wealth."

"National wealth lies in reform."

"Only when the national treasury is full can the imperial court have the ability to bestow blessings upon the people, provide for infrastructure and livelihood projects, strengthen the military to protect the country, and increase the salaries of officials who serve the Ming Dynasty, thus granting them favors!"

"All of this is entrusted to the national treasury."

"If you want the national treasury to be full, empty talk is all for naught."

"Your Majesty."

"In the twenty-fifth year of Hongwu, the Ming Dynasty abolished the poll tax and introduced the land tax. The results were evident to all."

"In the twenty-fifth year of Hongwu, the Ming Dynasty implemented a new commercial tax. Minister Yu has now stated how much commercial tax silver the national treasury has collected, and all of you have heard it."

"In the past two years, I have indeed abolished many national policies of the Ming Dynasty. After I abolished those policies, were they ultimately beneficial or detrimental to the Ming Dynasty?"

"today."

“I will stand right here; you may speak freely.”

Zhu Ying surveyed the court and spoke again.

Face this question.

The ministers looked at each other, some perhaps wanting to offer some rebuttals, others perhaps wanting to find fault.

can.

The results of Zhu Ying's administration over the past two years.

Indeed, there is nothing to say about it; in fact, it is all thanks to Zhu Ying's administration that the Ming Dynasty's treasury is so full.

To know.

In the twenty-fifth year of the Hongwu reign.

The Ming Dynasty has mobilized the entire nation to construct highways. Under such expenditures, the national treasury would have been depleted long ago. However, the national treasury is not only not depleted, but is becoming increasingly abundant, far exceeding previous years.

All of this was a result of Zhu Ying changing the national policy.

The court was completely silent.

Zhu Ying smiled confidently: "It seems that you gentlemen have no complaints about the national policies I have implemented."

"That's it."

"Then I will tell you all one more thing."

"My governing principles are all for the prosperity of the Ming Dynasty. If I have made a decision without error, I will never change my mind."

"This is my principle."

“Our imperial grandfather practiced the way of the emperor.”

“Our father practiced benevolence.”

"But I am different. I govern the country with tyranny because I want to seize every opportunity to strengthen the Ming Dynasty and unify the world."

Zhu Ying's words resounded throughout the court, exuding an unspeakable domineering aura.

perhaps.

Every minister could clearly sense the unquestionable tone in Zhu Ying's words.

"besides."

"Do not view me or the future Ming Dynasty through the eyes of an ordinary person."

Zhu Ying then changed the subject.

His gaze was fixed on the entire court of civil and military officials.

A powerful spiritual force instantly spread out, enveloping the entire court.

at the same time!

The internal energy within his dantian, even exceeding that of the peak of the Innate Realm, was suddenly mobilized.

"The stars change."

A low shout escaped his lips.

A powerful internal force was then mobilized.

For an instant.

Before the more than one hundred court officials could react, their bodies suddenly felt light, and they were all lifted up by an invisible force and floated in mid-air. Many of them struggled and thrashed about in mid-air, but to no avail.

"what happened?"

"Why am I floating?"

"I'm flying?"

"Your Highness...this was made by His Highness the Crown Prince."

"Is this...is this still human-made?"

When many court officials came to their senses, they saw Zhu Ying raise his hand, as if he were about to perform something.

And everyone in the court was lifted up.

It also carried an indescribable sense of shock.

now.

Although they could still control their bodies, they could not escape this powerful force and were simply unable to resist it.

"solitary."

"If you wish."

"It can slaughter ten thousand people without harming anyone."

Zhu Ying's voice slowly echoed in the court.

Then.

The hand fell.

The internal force was withdrawn.

All the court officials were shocked, and their bodies fell uncontrollably to the ground.

Many people lost their footing and collapsed to the ground.

But at the moment.

Apart from the generals who had already begun their cultivation journey, everyone else looked at Zhu Ying with utter astonishment, as if they were looking at a god.

Such power is something that ordinary people simply cannot possess.

Considering the longevity pills that Zhu Yuanzhang had previously presented, and the miraculous power that many ministers had personally experienced, all of these were the work of Zhu Ying.

Think so.

Many courtiers had a thought in their hearts.

"Your Highness is a god descended to earth."

"Your Highness has now regained the power of a god."

"Absolutely so, otherwise there would be no longevity pills, let alone so many miraculous elixirs."

"Your Highness is a divine being bestowed by heaven, the mortal incarnation of the Ziwei Emperor."

"It must be so."

“That was no illusion, but the real power of the immortals. Your Highness has mastered the power of the immortals.”

……

now.

The more they thought about it, the more shocked they became. Looking at Zhu Ying standing in the center of the hall, all the ministers' gazes changed in unison.

It wasn't just the kind of awe one has for the crown prince; it was also the kind of gaze one has for the unfathomable, or even for gods and immortals.

Zhu Ying today is far more powerful than they could have imagined.

"Your Highness is a celestial being descended to earth, guiding our great Ming Dynasty."

"Your Highness's decision, I swear to obey it to the death."

Lan Yu stepped forward again, speaking with a fervent expression.

"Your Highness's decision, I swear to follow you to the death."

"I swear to follow you to the death..."

now.

After Zhu Ying displayed this power that surpassed that of ordinary people, all the ministers knelt down and shouted in unison.

Obviously.

They were all stunned by Zhu Ying's move.

This.

Perhaps this is part of Zhu Ying's display of martial arts prowess at this moment.

It was not only through the authority of the emperor, but also through the intangible divine power that they used to intimidate.

perhaps.

There have never been any immortals or gods in this world, nor have any immortals or gods ever appeared.

can.

Myths and legends have always existed, and the concept of ghosts and gods has become deeply ingrained in people's minds in this era, after all, there is no real science in this day and age.

The belief in ghosts and spirits is deeply ingrained in people's minds.

Zhu Ying's move demonstrated the power of immortals and gods.

seeing is believing.

And this moment.

The reaction of the court officials in the main hall clearly demonstrated the effectiveness of Zhu Ying's move—a truly devastating deterrent. It's likely that Zhu Ying will face little resistance in implementing any future national policies. "That kid..."

Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Biao exchanged a glance, both with a smile on their faces.

Obviously.

They seemed very satisfied with Zhu Ying's deterrent move.

after all.

As Zhu Ying's closest relatives, they had already confided in him.

They know the power of martial arts, and even more so, they know about internal and physical cultivation.

However, to outsiders, this was the true power of immortals and gods.

"Your Majesty."

"The great Ming Dynasty and the prosperous era of China that I want to create."

"It is not what you see before your eyes, nor is it the world you imagine."

"Now that all the ministers and officials are here today, all the officials have gathered."

"Then I might as well tell you all..."

Zhu Ying spoke with a serious expression, paused for a moment to look around, and then said even more solemnly: "Now, the enemies of my Great Ming will be all the foreign countries and nations that exist in this world. Anyone who obstructs the unification of my Great Ming is an enemy!"

"What I want to do is to make this land, where the sun and moon shine, mountains and rivers are, the territory of my Great Ming."

"What I want to do is to make all living things on this earth subjects of my Great Ming."

"When we truly unify the world."

"In the future, our Great Ming Dynasty will venture into the universe and even the myriad worlds."

"This is the path for the future of the Ming Dynasty."

now.

Zhu Ying's voice wasn't loud, but it conveyed a sense of solemnity, and even seemed to possess a mysterious air that hinted at the majesty of an immortal.

Listening to what Zhu Ying said.

Almost all the ministers in the court stared at Zhu Ying with wide eyes, revealing a strong sense of curiosity.

perhaps!

Through Zhu Ying's words, they gleaned some of the secrets of the immortals.

and.

They were also amazed by Zhu Ying's ambition.

"May I ask, Your Highness?"

"Beyond my Great Ming Dynasty, is there still a heaven beyond?"

Song Ne, the most senior scholar in the court and a trusted Grand Secretary of the Imperial Academy, stepped forward with a strong sense of curiosity and inquiry on his old face.

"That's the way it is."

Zhu Ying replied affirmatively.

although.

He himself does not currently have the ability to explore the myriad worlds, but Zhu Ying is certain of their existence.

Because the many treasures he opened from the treasure chest were obtained from the myriad worlds. If there were no myriad worlds, how could he possess these treasures?

and.

Zhu Ying also had a premonition.

Perhaps after he unifies the world in the future, he will be able to glimpse some of the mysteries of the myriad realms.

"May I ask, Your Highness?"

"Does the underworld and reincarnation exist in this world?" Song Ne asked again, filled with intense curiosity.

And this question.

This also caused many court officials to raise their heads, eagerly awaiting Zhu Ying's reply.

"exist."

Zhu Ying said in a deep voice.

but. .

The world where this cycle of reincarnation exists is not in the Ming Dynasty.

With Zhu Ying's current understanding, he has also embarked on the path of cultivation, and even possesses a divine artifact like the panel. He also has his own perspective on the strength of the world, as well as his insights from his previous life regarding novels and mythology.

If countless worlds truly exist, then those worlds must also have varying degrees of strength.

The world in which the Ming Dynasty exists may just be an insignificant little world among all the myriad realms.

After all, this world doesn't even have the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.

Reincarnation is, of course, even more impossible for us.

"If the underworld and reincarnation exist, then let the legendary immortal realm exist."

"The existence of the Longevity Pill must be because Your Highness possesses the ability to communicate with the Immortal Realm, which is why you were able to bestow this elixir."

"Your Majesty, I understand," Song Ne said with a look of sudden realization.

Having said that, he didn't ask any further questions.

Because what he wanted to know was what he had figured out from Zhu Ying's two answers.

This!

Zhu Ying naturally wouldn't offer any explanation.

Mysterious.

Only in this way can the ministers truly feel fear and investigate, and thus be more useful to Zhu Ying and to the Ming Dynasty.

"If any of you gentlemen have any further questions, please continue to ask today."

"I missed today."

"Unless the Ming Dynasty truly unifies the world, I will not speak of anything concerning the myriad realms again," Zhu Ying said slowly, his voice exuding an air of authority and mystery.

Hear this.

Many ministers couldn't help but show a hint of interest.

"May I ask, Your Highness?"

"Your Highness's grand ambition is to conquer all the heavens and myriad realms. How can the mortal power of our Great Ming Dynasty possibly contend with the immortals and gods?"

"Can a mortal become an immortal?" Lan Yu asked with intense longing.

Can mortals become immortals?
This further fueled the anticipation of the entire court.

Fairy?

What is that existence?
In mythology, there are beings who are immortal and possess great supernatural powers.

An existence that transcends mortals.

I ask you this:

Who doesn't want to become an immortal?
"I can tell you all that mortals can become immortals."

"but……"

Zhu Ying first gave a firm reply, which made the eyes of the court officials burn with fervor. However, as Zhu Ying paused, the expressions of the court officials became uneasy.

"The world in which our Great Ming Dynasty exists has no spiritual energy of heaven and earth; it is merely a drop in the ocean among all the myriad worlds."

"I can tell you this clearly."

"Mortals can become immortals, but they cannot become immortals in the world where the Ming Dynasty is located."

"I can also tell you."

"Perhaps in the future, some of you will be able to follow in my footsteps and the footsteps of the Ming Dynasty to walk the path to immortality, but most of you will perish in the long river of time."

"But as long as the Ming Dynasty is strong and conquers all worlds, your descendants will have the opportunity to become immortals."

"The Great Ming Dynasty is the foundation for achieving immortality!"

"Not in the present, but in the future!"

Zhu Ying spoke slowly, his words carrying a profound meaning.

This was indeed Zhu Ying's truth. It was impossible for the Ming Dynasty to produce immortals, or even martial artists at the Innate Realm, because there was no spiritual energy of heaven and earth.

It is impossible to create an innate martial artist without using spirit stones.

But the future is uncertain.

Zhu Ying's words served two purposes: to inform all the ministers of the reality and to give them hope.

They may not be able to become immortals.

But their descendants have the opportunity.

This gave them an idea.

"Your subject has learned a great deal."

Lan Yu nodded with a look of realization, then said solemnly, "Your subject will serve the Ming Dynasty to the death and seize the foundation for immortality in the Ming Dynasty."

this sentence.

It was Lan Yu who saw through the key.

The Ming Dynasty was the foundation for achieving immortality.

They left the Ming Dynasty.

He left Zhu Ying.

Even after countless years, no one will ever have the chance to become an immortal.

This was the opportunity Zhu Ying gave them, the only opportunity for their descendants.

"We, your subjects, swear to serve the Ming Dynasty to the death."

The entire court, filled with a sense of turmoil, shouted in unison.

"it is good!"

Zhu Ying nodded and smiled, very satisfied with the result.

Today is the first court meeting of the 26th year of the Hongwu reign.

Zhu Ying was very satisfied.

The desired effect was achieved!
