"Which side to pull and which side to fight?"

Ma Du arched his hand and replied: "Of course, it is to pull the north to fight the south dynasty!" ”

Lao Zhu said solemnly when he heard this: "Firearms are the guarantee of the combat strength of my Ming army, how can I go to Fanbang, besides, the Japanese people have wreaked havoc along the coast of my Ming Dynasty, if I sell firearms to them, I don't know how many people will be unlucky, I will never sell firearms to the Japanese people." ”

While speaking, Zhu Biao entered the hall and saluted Lao Zhu before saying: "My father misunderstood what my uncle meant, and my uncle said that he did not sell firearms to the Northern Dynasty, but directly sent troops to help the Northern Dynasty fight, so that firearms would not fall into the hands of the Japanese Emperor." ”

Ma Du meant this, that is, he gave Ashikaga Yoshimitsu the idea, but Ashikaga Yoshimitsu and Zhu Biao refused together, and sure enough, Lao Zhu did not agree, "Are you idle when I am the army of the Ming Dynasty?" There's still a big battle on the prairie next year. ”

Mu Ying didn't have any discipline in front of Lao Zhu, and when Lao Zhu said it, he immediately echoed without a word, "What the emperor said is that the Japanese Kingdom does not border with my Daming, since they want to fight themselves, they can let them go, even if it is a pot of porridge and what does it have to do with my Daming, Xuanzhong, I think you are too worried about the affairs of the Japanese people." ”

This seems to sound reasonable, but when Japan's Warring States period was made into porridge, the Ming Dynasty was also unlucky, and if the Southern Dynasty of the Japanese Kingdom unified Japan with firearms, it would be troublesome.

Ma Du said seriously: "When Weichen went to sea to fight against the Japanese invaders, he made a mistake and asked the emperor to punish him. ”

Lao Zhu snorted in his nose, "Hmph, you have made a lot of mistakes, I don't know which one, but you can talk about it." ”

"Weichen was unfortunately captured in the South China Sea, when six artillery pieces were stolen by Chen Youding's remnant Jin Zilong and fell to the Southern Dynasty of the Japanese Kingdom, Jin Zilong has imitated a lot of artillery, and it is with the benefit of artillery that the Southern Dynasty of the Japanese Kingdom can counterattack and attack."

Lao Zhu twisted his beard and smiled disapprenorantly: "I know about this, Mao Xiang has already told me about the situation in the inspection school that Mao Xiang has placed in the Wa Kingdom." Jin Zilong is a waste, it took so long to get dozens of cannons, and the power is not far away, and the frequent explosion is not enough to cause trouble. ”

Now that he knows that he can still laugh, it seems that he looks down on the Japanese country in his heart, Ma Du had to persuade him hard: "The emperor's firearms are really bad, but my Ming firearms were not very good before, and they have not developed little by little." If we allow the firearms of the Japanese kingdom to grow stronger in the war, it will become a problem for my Ming henchmen. ”

Zhu Biao also said: "Although the child does not recommend the labor expedition, but also can not watch the development of Japanese firearms, after all, they have burned and looted my people along the coast, and colluded with the remnants of Chen Youliang and Zhang Shicheng. ”

"My son has a point!" Lao Zhu smiled, but then his face tightened again, "But now that the war on the grassland is imminent, the imperial court has consumed a lot, and I can't take care of it. ”

"In fact, you don't need many soldiers and horses, you only need to draw a ship of navy over to help the Northern Dynasty suppress the firearms of the Southern Dynasty. As for their food, grass, and military salaries, the consumption of firearms and ammunition naturally had to be paid by the Japanese people. ”

Ma Du did not have the spirit of internationalism, and Lao Zhu did not have him, shaking his head again and again, "No, it is better to sweep the snow in front of your house first." Since the two dynasties of the Japanese and northern dynasties have called me a tribute to the Ming Dynasty, they naturally have to listen to my words, let them stop fighting, and the firearms of the Southern Dynasty will naturally not develop, so why bother to let my good sons and daughters shed blood for the Japanese slaves. ”

Zhu Biao and Mu Ying immediately sent sycophants, "Father is wise!" "The emperor is wise!"

China's dynasties are almost all introverted, the land is vast and rich, and their huge land can't be governed, so they can't look down on those things of Fanbang barbarians, as long as you don't come to provoke me, I don't bother to care about you.

It's hard for them to open their legs without some benefits, Ma Du feels that it's time to show the big killing weapon, "The emperor's holy judge Weichen has nothing to say, in order to make up for the mistake of letting the firearms flow to Fanbang, Weichen has something to offer to the court to atone for his sins." ”

Lao Zhu smiled and said, "Okay, I've come up with something new, take it out for me to see." ”

"It's too big to hold, and it's a long way to go."

Mu Ying said: "Xuanzhong, don't make a fool of it, take it out quickly!" ”

"Okay!" Ma Du bowed his hand to Lao Zhu, "Weichen wants to dedicate a silver mountain to the emperor!" ”

As soon as these words came out, the people present couldn't help but gasp, and Lao Zhu, a fan of wealth, stood up even more excitedly, grabbed Ma Du's collar, "Where is Yinshan!" ”

Don't blame Lao Zhu for being so excited, silver is always a good thing, and China has been a national capital short of silver since ancient times, and copper coins were the mainstream currency used before the Ming and Qing dynasties.

In the Song Dynasty, where commerce and trade were developed, paper money even appeared because of the shortage of copper coins. In the Hongwu period, treasure banknotes were also issued, of course, Lao Zhu issued banknotes with suspicion of shearing sheep.

As for the lack of silver overseas, don't think that maritime merchants are exchanging silk for gold and silver, bartering is the mainstream, Shen Wan opened so many shops in the north and south of the sea in three days, the most important thing is to digest these goods from overseas.

If there really is a silver mountain, it will not only solve the economic difficulties caused by the imperial court's wars and large-scale construction, but also be beneficial to the future development of currency circulation and commerce in the Ming Dynasty.

Ma Du raised his hand and said, "I said!" I say! Wechen's neck has been strangled for you! ”

Mu Ying and Zhu Biao hurriedly grabbed Lao Zhu's hand, Lao Zhu smiled and loosened Ma Du's collar, helped him straighten his clothes, and patted his chest, "It's my hand that is heavy, I will make amends to you,"

I rub! Money is really omnipotent except for not being able to eat, and it can make Lao Zhu open his mouth to make amends. Ma Du naturally didn't dare to pretend to be big, and hurriedly replied: "The emperor is serious. ”

Mu Ying couldn't wait to ask: "Where is the silver mountain you said?" ”

Zhu Biao said: "Uncle said that it is a silver mine, if the silver mountain is afraid that it would have been emptied." ”

"Your Highness's wisdom is a silver mine, but not in Daming."

Lao Zhu's eyes showed a smug smile, "The silver mine cover you said isn't in the Wa Kingdom, right?" ”

Ma Du arched his hand and said, "It is in the country of Wa." ”

Lao Zhu snorted, "You are more slamming than me, and you want to fish but are reluctant to cast bait, I know that you, a unprofitable guy, will not go to help the Japanese fight in vain." ”

Belch...... fell for Lao Zhu's tricks again, Zhang Shicheng was wrong to compare Lao Zhu to Tang Seng back then, it should be like Cheng Rulai, Ma Du is Sun Monkey always feels that he can't jump out of his palm.
