Most importantly,

Liu Xiu's strategy!

What is Liu Xiu's way to bring the money back from Wa Island? !

Zhu Yuanzhang opened the letter from King Wu and laughed, "I'm also very curious, and I can't think of what Liu Xiu is going to do."

Zhu Yuanzhang glanced at the letter, his breathing became more and more rapid, and he couldn't help exclaiming, "Liu Xiu brought 500 million taels to Wa Island?!"

hum! ! !

The court was shaken!

Twenty-six million taels? !

Didn't Liu Xiu go to ask for money? Why did she still bring the money? !

Isn't this free? !

The 5000 million taels haven't come back yet, and the backhand is about to send out another 500 million taels? !

A thought flashed through the minds of the officials,

Liu Xiu wants to run away with the money!

But after thinking about it, it's impossible. After all, everyone knows that the matter of Wa Island is extremely difficult to do. Liu Xiu's success is a miracle, and no one will use it as an excuse.

Liu Xiu was perfectly fine. He walked around Wa Island, pretended to do his best, and then came back and told Zhu Yuanzhang that the money could not be recovered.

Even so, Zhu Yuanzhang would reward Liu Xiu for his hard work.

What's more, Liu Xiu's family is still in the Central Plains. To put it bluntly, the Liu family is not short of tens of millions of taels of money...

The more people think about it, the more dizzy they become,

What is Liu Xiu going to do with this money?

The hundreds of officials in the court were so overwhelmed with thoughts that they were completely confused. Anyway, even if they were killed, they would not be able to figure out what Liu Xiu was thinking!

Zhu Yuanzhang sat high on the dragon chair, his body sat upright, as if his whole body got into the letter in front of him,

I saw Lao Zhu sometimes frowning, sometimes sighing, sometimes sighing, sometimes frightened...

It's not enough to tickle the hearts of all officials.

After a long time, Zhu Yuanzhang let out a long sigh and put down the letter, but he still couldn't control his temples throbbing wildly. After living for so long, from a beggar to an emperor, Lao Zhu has never experienced anything.

But what was said in the letter, not to mention that he had seen it before, just thinking about it, he couldn't think of it at all!

Zhu Biao was very itchy, and quickly asked, "Father, what is the master going to do? Why did you bring so much money to the island?!"

Zhu Yuanzhang ignored the boss, frowning and shaking the letter again, as if he suddenly thought of something.

And the prince's words completely ignited the court,

"I thought of it! Liu Xiu knew that it would be difficult to survive on Wa Island, and she would spend so much money to pay for her life!"

"Oh my God! A total of 500 million taels! Daming's money is so free?!"

"Your Majesty, send troops, we can't let Liu Xiu mess around anymore!"

"It's okay for Liu Xiu to mess around, why is Lan Yu also messing around?!"

"Hehe, I don't know if this year's salary will be distributed."

"Giving money to the Japanese for nothing? When Liu Xiu comes back, he must be questioned!"

"Nonsense!" Xu Da growled, "How could Liu Xiu give the Japanese money for nothing?"

Zhu Biao nodded, but he still didn't say anything. After all, he really didn't know what Liu Xiu was going to do, and he had nothing to say to defend Liu Xiu!

"No," Zhu Yuanzhang said in a deep voice, "Liu Xiu just wanted to give money to the Japanese."

Xu Da and Zhu Biao looked at each other and exclaimed in unison, "How is this possible?!"

"Your Majesty!" Liu Sanwu hastily stepped forward, "Liu Xiuqi's heart is to be punished, I beg you to control all Liu's family! Force Liu Xiu back!"

Xu Da forced his anger to sweep over Liu Sanwu, cursing in his heart,

I can't see how cruel this old Confucian is!

It’s okay to say that you, Liu Sanwu, said this out of public interest, but at the end of the Yuan Dynasty, when the war was chaotic, it was the time when the world needed dedication. You just hid in the mountains for more than ten years, and only dared to go out after the world was stabilized.

A person who cherishes his life so much deserves to be said to have a fair heart towards Daming? !

He clearly wanted to take the opportunity to trample Liu Xiu to death!

Zhu Yuanzhang took a deep breath, completely ignored Liu Sanwu, and swept across the court, "Let's leave the court."

This is the dispersal? !

Even if the hundred officials had a million reluctances in their hearts, they could only agree.

"Xu Da, Li Shanchang, Fang Xiaoru, come down to my bedroom."

Chapter 176

As soon as Zhu Yuanzhang returned to the bedroom, Xiao Zhu arrived with three important officials on the back.

Zhu Yuanzhang sat down on his knees, and said with a smile, "You guys move fast, and you don't give us a chance to catch your breath?"

Just as Xu Da was about to speak, Xiao Zhu couldn't wait, and hurriedly stepped forward, saying anxiously,

"Father! What's going on?! How do you get the money back, sir?"

Zhu Yuanzhang did not answer Xiao Zhu, but instead glanced at the other three important ministers,

Whether it is Xu Da, Li Shanchang, or Fang Xiaoru, it is not an exaggeration to call it the Great Ming Zhu Kingdom. To be honest, Lao Zhu also wants to test his courtiers to see if they can do anything.

"Li Shanchang."

"His Majesty."

"If we leave this matter to you, what will you do?"

Li Shanchang thought for a while, and then blurted out immediately, apparently he had already prepared a draft in his heart,

"Your Majesty, I have three strategies!"

Old Zhu was taken aback, looked at Zhu Biao and said with a smile, "Haha, I didn't expect this Daming Han Gong to get older and more bewitching! In just a few steps, he came up with three strategies, which are comparable to those seven steps to compose poems." Much more exciting!"

Xiao Zhu looked at Li Shanchang, and was also slightly shocked. After all, when Li Shanchang joined Zhu Yuanzhang in the army, he had a clear division of labor with Liu Bowen.

One is the mastermind, and the other is internal affairs.

Rather, it looks like the division of labor between Zhang Liang and Xiao He under Han Gaozu.

And Li Shanchang is naturally good at internal politics, but short at strategizing. But today Li Shanchang said three strategies, which seems to be to break the stereotype of old Zhu Xiaozhu.

Li Shanchang bowed to Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Biao branch, and said respectfully, "Which strategy do you want to hear first, Your Majesty?"

Zhu Yuanzhang slapped his thigh, pointed at Li Shanchang and said, "Bad policy! Let's listen to the bad policy first!"

Li Shanchang blurted out, "The next strategy is very simple, just send troops to grab it directly. Although the world is exhausted, there are still elite soldiers in Wu. With all the soldiers from the world to assist them, there is still strength for a battle."

"...And roughly calculated, even if we fight a situation where both sides lose, it is enough to use the money to recruit soldiers and buy horses again. No matter how you fight, you will not lose money. But you must be fast! Do it before the Japanese run out of money!"

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded, shook his head again, and said directly, "This is not a good strategy."

Li Shanchang smiled lightly, "So this is the worst policy."

Zhu Biao asked, "What is the best policy?"

Li Shanchang bowed his hands to the crown prince, "Your Highness, the best policy is not to use the money."

"No more?" Zhu Yuanzhang frowned, looking unhappy, "Tell me, what does this mean?"

Li Shanchang took a breath, his eyes glowed like an old fox,

"Your Majesty, Wa Island is now divided into two, why don't we go along with the flow and use this money as a fee to support them?"

"Oh?" Zhu Yuanzhang understood immediately, "Interesting, let's continue."

"It doesn't matter whether this money is in the Northern Dynasty or the Southern Dynasty. His Majesty issued an edict to Wa Dao, saying that Da Ming has flowed 5000 million taels into Wa Dao, and Da Ming will not recover it. It will be used as a support fee."

"As long as the emperors of the two dynasties see His Majesty's edict, even if the money is in a mouse hole, they have to try their best to find out, and then they can establish a vassal state system with them, and subsidize some soldiers, horses, food and grass from time to time."

"With the support of Ming Dynasty, one side will inevitably overwhelm the other side quickly, and it will become a vassal state of Ming Dynasty. There are three advantages in this way. First, Japanese islands can rely on Ming Dynasty. Second, the Japanese pirates along the coast will be wiped out. Third, Ming and Wa Island can establish economic relations."

"This is a long-term plan, and its long-term harvest must be greater than 5000 million taels!"

Xu Da lowered his eyebrows when he heard the words, and there was a trace of disdain in his eyes. Li Shanchang took this plan too much for granted, obviously he didn't understand the Japanese people very well.

The Japanese are just white-eyed wolves who are not familiar with them. When they are not as good as Daming, the Japanese will pretend to be grandsons, but once they have a chance to gain momentum, they will be the first to bite Daming.

This is not a good strategy, but a trick of the enemy!

Zhu Yuanzhang had no expression on his face, neither expressed approval nor disapproval, and continued, "What about the middle policy?"

Li Shanchang took a deep breath. It seems that His Majesty is not satisfied with the upper and lower strategies.

"Your Majesty, the best policy is to stop having any relationship with the Japanese people. When the spring begins, we will immediately implement the farming system, accumulate food and grass, and concentrate our efforts on dealing with the Beiyuan people."

Zhu Biao crossed his sleeves together, his fingers kept stirring in the dark,

According to the current situation, Daming has no money, no food, no soldiers, and it is indeed not appropriate to make too many enemies and fight too frequently, so Li Shanchang's middle strategy is indeed a mature and prudent statement.

The difference between it and the best policy is nothing more than whether it has a relationship with Wajima or not.

And Xiao Zhu knows his father very well, even if Li Shanchang's three strategies are indeed good, it is absolutely impossible for his father to be the grandson of a tiny island!

Sure enough, Lao Zhu's face was livid, and he snorted coldly and looked at Li Shanchang, "You're a literati after all!"

Li Shanchang sighed, "My humble minister is dull."

However, even though he said so, Li Shanchang was a hundred unconvinced in his heart.

Because in his opinion, the Wajima incident happened too suddenly, and it had to be resolved as quickly as possible. No matter how hard he tried, he couldn't get out of his three strategies.

Then Liu Xiu just chose one of the strategies.

It's just that Li Shanchang hasn't thought about what Liu Xiu is going to do about the specific details.

Anyway, in his opinion, the probability of getting the money back is very slim.

"Hmph! Tiande! Tell us about it!"
