Chapter 48 Zhu Yuanzhang's Exam Questions

Xu Miaojin wants to write a letter to Lao Zhu, naturally he is writing about what he has seen and heard along the way, new and strange things, let me ask, where can there be an Aries mouth?

It is also the production of military rations, the employment of female workers, and even the establishment of iron smelting workshops. Liu Chun even claims to be the heir of the Guo family, which can arouse Lao Zhu's interest, and it is even more interesting than fighting in front of him!

Seeing Xu Miaojin agree, Liu Chun breathed a sigh of relief, even if this letter went up, even if he registered with Zhu Yuanzhang, he said a word, called Jian Zai's heart!

If you have to hug a thigh, Liu Chun thinks it's more appropriate to hug Lao Zhu.

At the moment, Zhu Di is still too weak, and the prince Zhu Biao can't last long, don't look at the old Zhu hands, but as long as you don't die and do practical things carefully, you will be fine.

It's just that if you want Zhu Yuanzhang to value it, you need to come up with something that touches people's hearts.

Liu Chun thought about it for a long time, and only thought of one idea.

"That Miss Xu, there is something, do you think you can write it into the letter?"

"Say it!"

"According to the predecessors of my master's sect, there are several very high-yielding crops overseas, regardless of the land, and the yield is large, and if Your Majesty is interested, you can send a fleet to sail eastward across a vast sea, and you can find them. It may take two years to go back and forth, but if you really find it and bring it back, it will be a blessing for the people of the Ming Dynasty. ”

Zhu Yuanzhang was born in poverty, and he cared about the people, he must be interested in corn, potatoes, and sweet potatoes, and Liu Chun was full of confidence.

But after Xu Miaojin listened, he put down the pen, raised his head, and smiled at Liu Chun...... It's alluring!

"Mr. Liu, if you listen to me, don't write!"

"Why?"

Xu Miaojin spit out two words, which immediately made Liu Chun sweat.

"Sea Ban!"

Damn, how did you forget this!

As soon as Zhu Yuanzhang conquered the world, Zhang Shicheng and Fang Guozhen retreated to the island, waiting for an opportunity to make trouble, and Zhu Yuanzhang issued the first sea ban order. At this juncture, farming and producing food, working hard to give birth, and expanding the population became the most important thing.

In order to prevent the people from rushing to overseas trade and delaying the fundamentals, Lao Zhu once again reiterated the sea ban.

If it is suggested at this time to go overseas and look for good seeds, wouldn't it be a blatant confrontation with Lao Zhu's national policy, and there would be a good end?

Liu Chun didn't know about the sea ban, but after all, he was not an authentic Ming person, and the time to travel was still short, and some taboos were easy to ignore.

Xu Miaojin's reminder is really timely!

"Miss Xu is grateful for her kindness." Liu Chun said, bowing deeply.

Xu Miaojin's eyes rolled, and he said angrily: "Is it just grateful?" ”

"So, what do you want me to do?"

Xu Miaojin picked up the brush in his hand, stared at the tip of the pen, gently tore off a wolf hair, and said in a casual tone: "You have to give me a salary increase, right?" ”

"Wages?"

Liu Chun couldn't have imagined how this daughter of the palace could become a philistine!

"How much does that cost?" Liu Chun asked stupidly, this little girl won't take the opportunity to rip off the bamboo, right?

Xu Miaojin said: "My current salary is one or two taels of silver a month, how much can I mention?" As she spoke, she shook her jade-like left hand, five fingers, slender and round, like nephrite jade.

"Five taels?" Liu Chun asked tentatively.

Xu Miaojin's eyes lit up, and she nodded immediately, "Okay, don't regret it!" Xiao Nizi was so happy, she actually wanted to say that the increase of five was enough, but how did she know that Liu Chun had increased five times all of a sudden!

This boss is generous enough!

Not bad!

Xu Miaojin was satisfied, Liu Chun was also secretly wiping his sweat, what a big thing, let alone five taels, even if it was fifty taels, five hundred taels, even if it was five thousand taels, it was not much!

This girl has a good conscience.

Two people, one thinks they take advantage of it, and the other thinks they save money, which is called a perfect match!

Xu Miaojin wrote ten pieces of paper and a thick letter, and in this way he arrived in Nanjing and fell into the hands of Zhu Yuanzhang.

Zhu Yuanzhang, who has just passed his birthday, is still in good spirits, handling hundreds of official affairs every day, from morning to night, but Zhu Yuanzhang has already intended to cultivate the prince and hand over some things to the prince to deal with, and he is only responsible for the final approval.

Zhu Biao officially came into contact with state politics, and he felt the pressure of being a monarch.

Not to mention anything else, in the first battle of Liaodong alone, there were tens of millions of meritorious soldiers!

Especially the first is his fourth brother Yanwang Zhu Di!

Military merit is the most obvious thing.

This time, Zhu Di first captured Jinshan, and then attacked the Songhua River non-stop, he used gunpowder as a weapon, defeated 30,000 cavalry in one fell swoop, and completely dispelled Naha's attempt to flee westward.

With two big victories, even Yongchang Hou Lanyu didn't dare to underestimate King Yan anymore, and Zhu Di seemed to have become a rising star in the army!

"Fourth brother, fourth brother! Why are you so outstanding? ”

Zhu Biao looked at the good news repeatedly, and his heart was mixed.

As the eldest brother, he loves his brothers, but the problem is that those under him have already regarded Zhu Di as a threat, and they continue to talk to Zhu Biao to attack Zhu Di, which makes him annoyed.

And Lan Yu also wrote a letter to him, in which he praised a young man named Liu Chun, saying that he had learned and had good skills, and Zhu Di was able to win the battle, all thanks to Liu Xiaolang's help.

If this person can be pulled to the East Palace, no one will be able to shake His Highness's position......

Everyone is under the banner of their own good, but as everyone knows, it's all taken for granted!

Zhu Biao's position as the crown prince was set by two people, one is the living Zhu Yuanzhang, and the other is the dead Queen Ma! Except for them, no one can move the position of the prince.

But the trouble is that the emotions of the people below can't be taken care of.

Saying bad things about brothers, Zhu Biao can't do it, and he can't do it!

Then the only way to get that young man to the capital is to give the fourth child a beating!

Zhu Biao entered the palace and handed Zhu Yuanzhang the list of meritorious soldiers who had drawn up, and after Lao Zhu read it, he bowed down and said: "Father, Song Guogong mentioned that there is a young man who makes military rations and improves gunpowder, and he really has some skills, and the child wants to transfer him to the capital and come to the East Palace to do things." ”

Zhu Biao never thought that his father would refuse, let alone a little-known young man, even if he is famous all over the world, it is a matter of one sentence.

You must know that Zhu Yuanzhang sent Xu Da, Chang Yuchun, Song Lian and others to the East Palace to carefully assist the prince, and Lao Zhu has always been generous to his son.

But who knew that this time Zhu Yuanzhang didn't immediately agree, he pondered for a moment, "Prince, do you know that this young man claims to be the heir of the Guo family?" ”

"Descendants of the Guo family?" Zhu Biao was stunned for a moment, Lan Yu forgot to mention this matter in his letter, and he didn't know.

Zhu Yuanzhang said: "He said that he was the descendant of the great Confucian Guo Shoujing of the previous dynasty, and he had the ability to defect to the Ming Dynasty and assist the Holy Dynasty!" ”

Zhu Biao was dumbfounded, with the help of his predecessors, there are not a few liars who raise their status, and his East Palace often has crazy people to vote, basically they are not very capable and have a lot of tone.

However, looking at Lan Yu's letters, he should have some skills.

"Father, since this is the case, then he should be transferred to the capital to see if he has real talent and learning!"

"No!"

Zhu Yuanzhang shook his head decisively, "Rashly transferring to the capital will definitely cause some people to follow suit, and use it as a shortcut to the end of the south, which will cause great confusion in people's hearts." ”

Lao Zhu thought for a while, "Didn't he say that he was Guo Shoujing's successor, and he was still familiar with the situation of Tartar!" I'll give him an exam question to see what he's capable of. This time, Naha sent 250,000 people to surrender, what should be done with these 250,000 people, I want to see if he has any ideas! ”

Zhu Biao's eyes rolled, and he suddenly said: "Father, some time ago, someone took Fang Xiaoru to the capital, this person has a good character, and he was framed!" ”

"Fang Xiaoru!" Zhu Yuanzhang thought about it for a while, and finally had an impression, "Well, this person is indeed a little extraordinary, and the prince can rely on him in the future." ”

Zhu Biao was secretly happy, "Father, since this is the case, can you also hand over the matter of dealing with these 250,000 people to Fang Xiaoru and see how he is able?" ”
