Traveled through Daming, but was punished by the old Zhu Shizu

"What are we doing?! Read the letter!"

Chapter 192 Poverty Limits Imagination

Zhu Biao quickly responded, looking at ten lines at a glance, and after reading the first page of several pieces of letter paper, Zhu Biao took a long breath,

"Father, sir has been discovered."

Zhu Yuanzhang sighed when he heard the words, and was about to speak when he found that Empress Ma was looking at him straightly, so he quickly changed his words,

"This matter is indeed difficult to handle. How can the Japanese be so easy to deceive?! Forget it, just treat the 5000 million taels as a dog, and there is no need to chase them back."

"But!" Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes burst into light, "The little Japanese dare to stab our son, we can't swallow this tone! Damn it! Hit them!"

Zhu Biao scratched his head, "Father, Mr. has been tricked."

"What?" Zhu Yuanzhang failed in an instant. Just after he said that Japanese people are not easy to deceive, Zhu Biao said that Liu Xiu was deceived? !

"Mr. has 5000 million taels of silver on board." Zhu Biao's eyelids jumped wildly, and he said the string of numbers in a horrified tone.

Then, the harem fell into an eerie silence, and everyone froze in place.

Daming's annual tax payment is only about 3000 million taels.

And Liu Xiu cheated a total of 5000 million taels? !

The taxes in the five years of Ming Dynasty? !

Even Zhu Yuanzhang has never seen so much money when he is so old!

Doesn't this hollow out Wajima? !

A gust of cold wind blew past, and Zhu Yuanzhang trembled all over. When he came back to his senses, his eyes were full of horror, as if he had seen the most terrifying thing in the world.

"5000 million taels?!!!!"

Zhu Biao nodded, already admiring his husband so much in his heart.

What the Ming Dynasty lacked most was money. The common people had no money, the local government had no money, and the central government had no money!

But the appearance of Liu Xiu broke all this!

Liu Xiu is like the God of Wealth, continuously throwing coins at Daming from various angles in the sky.

The entire Ming Dynasty was shrouded in his golden light!

Empress Ma looked at Lao Zhu blankly, she was one of the people who believed in Liu Xiu the most in the whole world, but poverty limited Empress Ma's imagination, she had no idea that this godson could be so awesome!

hiss!

Zhu Yuanzhang gasped, he was about to faint!

However, I was so excited that I was about to faint!

This kind of blissful experience, Zhu Yuanzhang is willing to come again a hundred times!

Chang raised her tender white hand and said embarrassedly, "Husband, I have a question."

Zhu Bianben was in a good mood, and when he saw Chang's cute appearance, he felt even more refreshed, "Madam, tell me!"

Chang paused for a moment, looked at Lao Zhu with a guilty conscience, and then asked, "Sir, with so much money on board, the Japanese islands will definitely come out, King Wu's life is at stake...Maybe, the money has already been lost..."

The joy ends abruptly,

Chang's words poured a bucket of cold water on everyone's heads!

Chang said embarrassedly, "The concubine may be wrong..."

Zhu Yuanzhang shook his head first, and said in a deep voice,

"No, daughter-in-law, you are right. One hundred and fifty million taels, even with the power of the Ming government, they can't squeeze out so much money. For the small Wadao, it must be the whole of Wadao. It's..."

"The Japanese have to get the money back even if they try their best. Besides, I have to admit that the Japanese are very strong in naval warfare. It's good for Lao Wu to gather thousands of troops in a hurry. But the Japanese have to send tens of thousands of people at least. Moreover, there will be continuous support for naval battles.”

As expected of Lao Zhu who overthrew Chen Youliang in the Poyang Lake water battle, he pushed the situation at sea by nine points in just a few lines of the battle report.

but,

Zhu Yuanzhang can calculate the strength, tactics, logistics, phalanx and everything on the battlefield of both sides.

But killing Lao Zhu didn't count. The two parties fought, and suddenly meteorites began to fall from the sky.

"Oh, as long as people are fine."

Hearing Lao Zhu's words, his tone was full of unwillingness.

That's a full 5000 million taels! ! !

Since establishing the salt company with Liu Xiu, Lao Zhu is now extremely sensitive to money, not because he always has the cheek to ask for money from the Liu family, but

Lao Zhu also knows well that the Liu family are good at making money, as long as they are given some time, they will be rewarded more in the future.

But...Old Zhu can't help it, he has no money in his pocket!It can only be done like this!

If there is this 5000 million taels of capital injection...

Lao Zhu slapped his thigh heavily and said angrily,

"Damn it! We should trust Liu Xiu more! Just call out thousands of marines and wait in the sea! If we don't fight, we'll make money!"

"Fuck!" Old Zhu became more and more angry, even swearing.

Empress Ma smiled and said, "Chongba, don't be too impatient, maybe Xiu'er can bring us a miracle?"

Zhu Yuanzhang was taken aback for a moment, "Yes, hi! Boss! Don't read it! It's still frustrating to read the letter, do you want to kill us!"

As he said that, Zhu Yuanzhang snatched the urgent report from Zhu Biao's hand, and did not forget to give Zhu Biao a blank look.

Zhu Biao was at a loss, and muttered aggrievedly, "Isn't it you who interrupt me all the time?"

"What?" Zhu Yuanzhang frowned.

Zhu Biao could only succumb to Lao Zhu's lustful power, "It's okay, I'm gagging."

Zhu Yuanzhang snorted, opened the letter, and read it page by page.

Zhu Biao stretched his head at the side, so impatient, he cursed,

"Are you still talking about me here? Every time you read Liu Xiu's letter, you have to read it for an hour! Oops! I'm so anxious!"

After a long time, Zhu Yuanzhang put down the letter, and Empress Ma's eyes flickered slightly. She knew Zhu Yuanzhang too well, and Zhu Yuanzhang's expression meant that,

The big one is coming!

There was neither sadness nor joy on Zhu Yuanzhang's face, Zhu Biao couldn't see the slightest details, everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, Zhu Biao was about to ask,

Zhu Yuanzhang said hoarsely, "Come here, officials above the third grade, and those with the duke, all come to the Hall of Supreme Harmony to look for us!"

Zhu Biao's expression became solemn, and his heart skipped a beat.

Wind blows.

Xufu

"Jingzu! Huizu! Have you two finished copying the poems?!"

After Xu Miaoyun scared away the two naughty boys, she slammed the door of the study, and there were two people sitting in the study,

Xu Da and Xu Zengshou.

Xu Miaoyun was full of sorrow, and after returning to the study to sit down, she continued, "Your Majesty's intention to let Liu Xiu go to Wa Island couldn't be more obvious. In other words, His Majesty's arrangement this time made me completely understand His Majesty's attitude towards Liu Xiu. "

Xu Da nodded, motioning for Xu Miaoyun to continue.

Xu Zengshou could only listen with his ears on the sidelines, unable to get in the conversation at all, even struggling to keep up with Xu Miaoyun's thinking.

"Since the Kongyin case, the Liu family has been used as a pawn by the Ministry of Accounts. His Majesty wanted to move the Ministry of Accounts, but he was worried that the Ministry of Accounts would have too much influence, so he could only move the Liu family. The Liu family was His Majesty's warning to the Ministry of Accounts. "

"However, Liu Xiu appeared as an odd number and tried his best to turn the tide and save all the people. At this time, His Majesty also realized that Liu Xiu is a genius."

Xu Da narrowed his eyes and continued, "But Your Majesty doesn't use Liu Xiu."

Xu Miaoyun nodded, "Yes, Your Majesty has no use for Liu Xiu. Your Majesty is keeping Liu Xiu for the Crown Prince."

Whoa!

Hearing this, countless chaotic threads in Xu Da's mind were instantly connected, and now everything makes sense!

Liu Xiu was thrown away like this, just to get rid of his edge, and then at the right time, let the prince favor him, making it the prince's humerus!

Chapter 193 Liu Xiu's Role

"Furthermore, your Highnesses' attitude towards Liu Xiu is also very ambiguous."

After what Xu Miaoyun said, Xu Da, an old fritter in the officialdom, thought a few layers deeper in an instant,

"That is to say, this is something that His Majesty and His Highnesses have tacitly agreed to! There is no doubt that Liu Xiu is an all-rounder, and more importantly, has an extraordinary ability to earn money! This is extremely rare in the officialdom of the Ming Dynasty!"

"Before His Highness the Crown Prince succeeds to the throne, as long as Liu Xiu is not in the capital, he must be working in one of His Highness's vassal states. Whoever gets Liu Xiu will hold the future..."

"Your Majesty regards Liu Xiu as a bargaining chip to balance the power of the vassal states!!!!"

Xu Da's eyes widened suddenly, and he cried out in surprise.

Zhu Yuanzhang is using Liu Xiu as a bargaining chip to balance the power of the various vassal states? !

What he said startled Xu Da himself.

Xu Miaoyun nodded, "Father, although all your Highnesses are His Majesty's own flesh and blood, in the final analysis, there can only be one Crown Prince, so Your Majesty cares about each vassal state very much in his heart. Each vassal state should not only serve as a barrier to defend Daming, but also Control their strength so that they do not overwhelm the central government."

"And Liu Xiu is the best bargaining chip to do all of this! Take His Royal Highness Yan Wang as an example. His Royal Highness Yan has the worst fiefdom, the most frequent wars, and the poorest vassal state. If things go on like this, His Royal Highness Yan will inevitably have emotions in his heart, so His Majesty By default, Liu Xiu chooses His Highness King Yan. In other words, Liu Xiu's choice is also what His Majesty wants."

"After Liu Xiu went to Yandi, everyone will know that Yandi has developed rapidly..."

Xu Da continued with a wry smile, "The land of Yan is too powerful to be good for the central government, so His Majesty threw Liu Xiu to Wa Island again..."

Xu Zengshou said puzzledly, "Sister, there is one thing I don't understand."

Xu Miaoyun looked at Xu Zengshou and allowed him to listen, which was to cultivate his political sense on purpose. After returning from Yandi, Xu Miaoyun realized that Liu Xiu's future road would be very difficult.

Therefore, as Liu Xiu's wife, we should try our best to find help for her!

Xu Zengshou, as Xu Miaoyun's younger brother and Liu Xiu's future brother-in-law, is naturally the best choice!
