Emergency Report from Qiongzhou Arrived at the Capital!
Xu Da left the magistrate's office in a hurry and rushed to Xu Miaojin's room.
When the soldiers guarding Xu Miaojin's door saw that it was Great General Xu Da, no one dared to stop him.
Xu Da pushed the door open and entered.
Xu Miaojin was sitting by the window, flipping through the geographical map of Qiongzhou.
Seeing that the door was pushed open, he quickly looked up.
"Daughter, return the silver notes to father first. Father will help you keep them!”
The moment Xu Da entered, he stretched out his hand towards Xu Miaojin." Zhu Bai went to Magistrate Yuan Chongli's place and swindled another 200,000 taels! It's not safe to leave the money with you. Give it to me first!”
She looked at Xu Da who suddenly barged in and listened to Xu Da say a lot of things in a hurry.
"Father, what are you talking about?"
Xu Miaojin was confused." What money? What scam? What happened to Brother Bai?"
Xu Da pressed his hand on the table and shook his head violently. He sighed and said,"Let's not talk about that for now. First, give me the silver notes that father gave you yesterday.”
This time, Xu Miaojin finally heard Xu Da's words clearly, but she didn't reach out to take the money. She only said helplessly,"I already gave all the money to Brother Bai yesterday.”
Hearing this, Xu Da only felt a wave of dizziness, and he almost lost his breath. It took him a long time to recover.
"You! What do you want me to say about you?!"
"Did that kid tell you what he was going to do with the money?”
Xu Miaojin didn't know why her father was so agitated.
He only looked at Xu Da and shook his head.
"Didn't that kid tell you why he took so much money?”
Xu Da looked at his daughter. At this moment, his heart was already racing.
Zhu Bai had so much money in his hands, yet he didn't want to build an Imperial Residence or arrange a wedding.
Instead, he disappeared day after day.
Having such a son-in-law, Xu Da felt unspeakable bitterness in his heart.
Xu Miaojin only shook her head blankly in response to her father's heavy questioning.
"Sigh!"
Xu Da sighed helplessly. He clenched his right fist and smashed it on his left palm. He shook his head." Why is your daughter so silly? You gave him all the money. Aren't you afraid that he will run away and abandon you?”
Hearing his father's words, Xu Miaojin stood up in a daze. Her eyes were red, and she said firmly,"It won't happen! Brother Bo won't abandon me!"
Seeing his daughter like this, Xu Da instantly fell silent.
In Xu Da's impression, his son-in-law, Zhu Bai, was a capable person. Compared to his eldest son-in-law, the King of Yan, Zhu Di, Xu Da liked his youngest son-in-law, Zhu Bai, more.
But during this period of time, this prospective son-in-law Zhu Bai had done a series of absurd and muddle-headed things again and again.
He swindled and swindled everywhere, with a huge sum of money in his pocket, but he could not find anyone all day.
No matter how biased Xu Da was towards this son-in-law, he couldn't help but mutter in his heart at this moment.
Thinking of this, Xu Da immediately returned to his room.
He had to report this matter to his superiors. This was no longer a small matter.
Others might not know, but Duke of Wei Xu Da definitely knew.
In this time, the silver in Zhu Bai's hands was close to two million.
What kind of concept was two million taels?!
That was half a year's worth of tax revenue for the entire Ming Dynasty.
With so much money in the hands of a teenage kid, and even disappearing from time to time, how could this be?
Xu Da wrote down his thoughts and speculations.
Then, he stamped his own seal to identify it.
After sealing it with wax, he sent someone to rush it to Nanjing.
······
North of Qiongzhou, in the Forbidden City in Nanjing.
In the study room.
Hongwu Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang was currently studying the situation in the north with his fourth son Zhu Di.
Xu Huizu, the assistant minister of the Ministry of War, was also listening.
Ever since General Xu Da had gone south, Zhu Yuanzhang had gradually handed over many military and political matters to his eldest son, Xu Huizu, to manage.
From this point alone, it wasn't hard to see that Old Zhu was very kind to Xu Da, who had grown up with him.
Many civil and military officials in the court were hoping that in this one month, they would be able to gain something from Xu Da's important military and political position.
However, Zhu Yuanzhang had appointed Xu Da's eldest son to take over. Even some of the old officials in the court who had made contributions could not object at this time.
In March next year, the King of Yan, Zhu Di, would go north to Tibet.
Different from other vassal kings, Zhu Di went to Beiping not only for fun, but also for important political tasks.
In the early years of the Ming Dynasty, the remnants of Yuan Meng in the north were still restless.
Because the country had just been established and the world had just recovered from the turmoil, the most important thing now was to let the people recuperate and not start a war to wipe out the remnants of Yuan Meng.
To put it bluntly, the entire world had just been in chaos. Not only did the national treasury have no money, but the entire world's common people also had no money.
War wasn't just about commanding and fighting on the battlefield.
Money and food were more important in war.
The weapons and equipment of the soldiers, as well as their salaries and food. If a large-scale war was launched, the soldiers who died or were injured would have to receive a large amount of compensation.
It was not that Zhu Yuanzhang did not know the threat of the nomadic people in the north, but he did not have the strength.
If he had enough money and food, how could Zhu Yuanzhang not want to lead his army north and completely eliminate the threat of the northern nomads?
Under such circumstances, Zhu Di's most important political task was to resist the invasion of the northern Mongols.
As the most talented son of Zhu Yuanzhang, Prince of Yan, Zhu Di, was naturally placed in the position of Beiping.
However, the warlike King of Yan, Zhu Di, didn't feel that there was anything wrong with it.
In Zhu Di's opinion, to be able to go north and beat up the Mongolians and achieve something was what a good man should pursue.
therefore
Zhu Di pointed at the defense map of Beiping and the distribution of the nomadic forces in the north and made a series of battle strategies.
However, just as Zhu Di was talking non-stop, Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly poured a bucket of cold water on him.
"If you want to beat up a Mongolian, we can't control you. Do whatever you want.”
Zhu Yuanzhang said with a serious expression,"But just a little!"
The King of Yan, Zhu Di, widened his eyes and looked at Zhu Yuanzhang with anticipation.
"You can think of a way to get the money and rations yourself!”
"I…"
Upon hearing this, Prince Yan Zhu Di fell silent. His heart was racing.
The three of them were silent.
Outside the Minister's Office, the hurried footsteps of the Embroidered Uniform Guards could be heard.
The Commander of the Brocade Guards, Jiang He, held an urgent letter from Qiongzhou and walked into the Minister's Office.
Jiang He held the letter in his hand and knelt in front of Zhu Yuanzhang."Your Majesty, the magistrate of Qiongzhou has sent an urgent report!”
When the Prince of Yan, Zhu Di, and the Minister of War, Xu Huizu, heard the news, they looked at each other and focused their eyes on the letter.
