"All the wealth is on the sea?"
Zhu Biao thought about this sentence carefully in his mind.
At the same time, the scene of Long Qing switching on and off appeared in his mind.
The ships in the port were like the sea, and the goods were like mountains.
Silver flowed wildly into Da Ming.
It became the famous Silver Country in the East.
" Brother Chen is right. The wealth is indeed in the sea. We still need to think about how to get it." Zhu Biao sighed.
" Well, things can't be done in a day. Here we go." Zhu Chen nodded.
well
Zhu Biao followed Zhu Chen into a circular building.
As soon as they entered the arena, deafening cheers erupted!
"This…" Zhu Biao couldn't help but reveal some surprise in his eyes.
"Football field, big brother, what do you think?"
"Amazing!"
A warm atmosphere instantly surged.
Zhu Biao felt like he was a small boat in the midst of a pack of wolves, rising and falling with the waves.
This was…This was a scene that he had never experienced before!!!
Zhu Chen looked at the shocked Zhu Biao and then pulled him to the VIP area.
The so-called special VIP area was located at the waist of the stadium, protruding a large part of the stands.
From here, one could not help but see all directions of the stadium clearly.
The surrounding stands could also see the people on the VIP seats clearly.
In short, sitting in the VIP seats was more eye-catching than the players on the field.
As the two of them walked past, the stands were filled with commoners.
When they saw Zhu Chen, they instantly cheered.
"Your Highness!"
" Your Highness King Chen!!"
“...”
Zhu Biao was pulled into the VIP area by Zhu Chen like a puppet.
" Brother Chen is really loved by the people!" Zhu Biao sighed.
Following that, he looked at the valiant Zhu Chen.
Zhu Biao made a decision.
After sitting down.
"How long has it been?" Zhu Chen asked.
The stadium manager quickly replied,""Your Highness, in less than fifteen minutes."
Zhu Chen understood.
The stadium looked luxurious to outsiders.
However, in his eyes, it was more like a village football field.
The viewing platform was simple and crude, and it didn't take up much space.
The only thing worth praising was the lawn.
uh... It was very lush.
"Brother Chen! "Wouldn't building this thing be a waste of time?" Zhu Biao asked worriedly.
"Big brother, why do you say that? This stadium will also book a room when there is no game.
Other than the Central Park, the people of Quanzhou loved to come to this stadium the most.
To strengthen one's body and cultivate one's character, why not?”
Zhu Chen smiled.
According to the Confucian values of simplicity.
The commoners only needed to farm and make babies. When the babies grew up, they would continue to farm and be exploited by the officials.
It had been like this for thousands of years.
Daming had too few entertainment activities. Zhu Chen felt it necessary to add one.
Zhu Biao nodded and said,""Brother Chen is right. It is only right to entertain the people.
However, I have never seen Cuju before. Today, I have broadened my horizons."
The next moment, the crowd began to cheer for their favorite team.
Zhu Biao felt his heart was about to jump out of his chest when he heard the cheers.
Shocking! Shocking! And it was freaking shocking.
This feeling lingered in Zhu Biao's chest even after the competition ended and he returned to Prince Chen's mansion.
" Brother Chen, I have something to tell you," Zhu Biao said solemnly.
"Big brother, what do you need me to do?" Zhu Chen smiled.
"You can be the emperor! Let father be the Retired Emperor!"
When Zhu Biao said this, even Zhu Chen was stunned.
What was going on?
Test?
"Brother Chen, I'm not testing you. I'm telling the truth.
I, your elder brother, have been entrusted with high hopes by Imperial Father since I was young.
He hopes that I can inherit Da Ming and then guard Da Ming's foundation.
However, ever since the comparison video came out, he saw the 600-year-old Ming Dynasty.
I knew that I would never be able to compare to you. I can be a good ruler.
However, my descendants may not be able to become heroes for generations.
Brother Chen, you are more suitable than me."
"Big brother, what are you talking about? You..."
Before Zhu Chen could finish, Zhu Biao interrupted him.
"I wasn't testing you, and I didn't say it out of impulse. I had my doubts about the contents of the video.
But seeing Quanzhou like this, I knew that all of that was true!
Now I only have one last question. If you become the emperor, how will you deal with the current vassal kings?”
Zhu Biao's expression was solemn, and he didn't seem to be joking at all.
However, Zhu Chen hesitated for a moment.
This was…Could it be a trap?
Hey!
Why are you thinking so much!
Even if it's a trap, I can break it with my strength. Why hesitate!
"The vassal king, the vassal king of Great Ming is really a problem."
"Hmm? What do you mean?" Zhu Biao was curious.
"I can also guess what Old Zhu is thinking about the vassal kings in the north. They are just building a defense line.
However, vassal kings were inherited from generation to generation. They needed the country to support them. It was fine for one or two generations, but what about eight or nine generations?
Although only the eldest son of the Ming Dynasty's vassal king could inherit the crown prince.
However, other sons of concubines would also be given titles.
This title could be used to earn a white-collar salary.
After that, the sons of the vassal kings would give birth to sons, and they would need to be raised by the country for generations. They were not allowed to do other jobs.
It wouldn't take long, only three or four generations, for the vassal kings of the Ming Dynasty to be raised into pigs.
They became parasites that crawled on the country.
Therefore, withdrawing the vassals, moving to the vassals overseas, opening up the vassal kings, and the Imperial Clan Court could all solve the problem of the vassal kings.”
Zhu Chen spoke with assurance while paying attention to Zhu Biao's expression.
Seeing that he was listening very seriously, he temporarily dispelled his doubts.
"This... Was there really such a great danger?”Zhu Biao was puzzled.
"Yes, big brother, wait a minute. I'll give you a demonstration."
Immediately, Zhu Chen asked a maid to bring a handful of rice and a chessboard.
"Big Brother, please take a look."
Zhu Chen put a grain of rice on a grid of the chessboard.
"This represents a vassal king."
Hearing this, Zhu Biao nodded to show that he understood.
Then, Zhu Chen put three grains of rice on the second grid.
"After a generation, the vassal king gave birth to three sons. If each son gave birth to three more sons,"
Zhu Chen put nine grains of rice on the third grid.
"What about the next generation? Each son gave birth to three more."
Zhu Biao stared at the chessboard.
This was…The next generation would be twenty-seven!
After generations, this vassal king would probably have tens of thousands of descendants.
And this was only a vassal king.
But Imperial Father has more than twenty sons. This means that when the time comes, Great Ming will have to raise more than two hundred thousand people for nothing!
In fact, if the later emperor was unwilling to raise these imperial clan members.
And the imperial clan had no other way out.
Then they would probably have a very miserable life.
This was…A small system actually harmed future generations!!!
Zhu Biao was completely shocked!
Neither he nor his father had considered such a situation.
He had never expected that!
Zhu Biao hurriedly pulled Zhu Chen's sleeve and asked,"Brother Chen, do you think there is a way to avoid this?”
" Um, big brother, I've said it before. We'll withdraw the vassals, expand the vassals, move to vassals overseas, and upgrade the position of the Imperial Clan Court in the entire court," Zhu Chen said indifferently.
Zhu Biao slapped his forehead hard.
He had really lost his sense of propriety! He was actually so anxious.
What Brother Chen said was too terrifying.
Just thinking about it made Zhu Biao's scalp tingle!
How could a vassal king only have three sons? He had nothing to do in the vassal territory, so he made babies every day!
Although Imperial Father was most likely planning this, Imperial Father would never have thought that the final result would be that the Zhu family's descendants would all become pigs.
That's right!
During the Chongzhen period, not a single vassal king came to save the emperor.
Then he would probably be raised into a pig.
Zhu Biao shook his body and sat down on the chair.
"Brother Chen, how did you see such a huge hidden danger?"
" It's nothing. I just like to think blindly. After all, I'm also a vassal king. I have to calculate how many children I can raise with my family background, right?"
Zhu Chen smiled.
No matter what Zhu Biao was thinking, he had told the truth.
The main thing is that after watching a match, Zhu Biao wants me to be the emperor.
This was…Which normal person wouldn't think too much?
However, he now had the ability to break free from any punishment trap, so he was fearless!
" Brother Chen, you're a celestial being!" Zhu Biao suddenly exclaimed.
"What Deva? Big Brother, stop teasing me. I've been tired for the whole day. Why don't you rest for a while?”
"Brother Chen, go ahead. I'll wait here for Imperial Father."
"Old Zhu will probably only be back at night. Big Brother will have to wait."
"No worries."
"Okay, then I'll take my leave first."
Zhu Chen stretched his back and walked to the backyard.
Time flew by, and Zhu Yuanzhang only returned to the Prince's mansion at night.
Seeing Zhu Biao staring at the chessboard with a troubled expression, Zhu Yuanzhang asked curiously,""Biao Er, what are you doing?”
" Father, you're finally back." Zhu Biao shook his head with a bitter smile.
"Hey, why do you miss us after only half a day? Still acting like a child?"
Zhu Yuanzhang, who was in a good mood, made a rare joke.
On the contrary, Zhu Biao had mixed feelings.
"Father, how have you been today?”
Speaking of this, Zhu Yuanzhang became spirited.
"Boss, you don't know, but we've gained a lot of knowledge today!"
Seeing Zhu Yuanzhang's face full of praise, Zhu Biao also became curious.
"Father, what happened?"
"Let me tell you.
When I first went to the residential area of Quanzhou, I saw an old man
After that, I went to the business district. The Biao 'er business district was too lively and crowded.
Silk, porcelain, glass, and even western toys were all ordinary.
What shocked me the most was that someone was selling clothes. It was said that they were jerseys.
There are quite a number of people who want to buy it for one tael of silver."
Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes went blank as if he was thinking about the scene at that time.
"Uh... "Maybe it's normal," Zhu Biao thought of the crazy shouts of the audience on the court today.
It was not surprising that the best player's clothes could be sold.
It was the same logic as how some famous people's calligraphy and paintings were sold at high prices nowadays.
"Mm, let's not talk about this. By the way, what did you hear today?”
Speaking of this, Zhu Biao immediately perked up.
"Imperial Father, please take a look."
uh... An empty chessboard.
What is Boss showing us?
Hmm?
What was the meaning of placing rice on top?
Yes!
A grain of rice was a vassal king!
Three grains of rice represented three imperial clans!
"Impossible!" Zhu Yuanzhang looked at the chessboard in shock.
He stubbornly snatched the rice from Zhu Biao's hand and placed it on the table one grain at a time.
Two hours later.
Zhu Yuanzhang looked at the chessboard full of rice and could not hold it in anymore.
"Even if the descendants of the vassal kings are passed down for nine generations, they still have titles to inherit. This..."
Dumbfounded! He was completely stunned!
Zhu Yuanzhang slapped his forehead and smiled bitterly."Did that brat tell you all this?”
" That's right, Father. When I first saw it, I was also shocked," Zhu Biao said with a bitter smile.
Zhu Yuanzhang's originally happy mood instantly disappeared.
His face began to look distressed.
This was…What should he do?
This vassal king of the Ming Dynasty a few generations later would not eat the Ming Dynasty out of money, right?
I didn't think about it!
I was just thinking about how many sons I could have. It wouldn't be hard for the country to raise them.
However, he did not expect to have children every day.
Why did this group of descendants have so many children?!!
Zhu Yuanzhang did not expect that if he had not given birth to more than 20 sons.
Da Ming probably didn't have so many imperial clan members.
"Did that brat say how to solve it?”Zhu Yuanzhang asked.
"Withdraw the vassal!"
Zhu Biao didn't hide it from him, but explained Zhu Chen's thoughts one by one.
"It's impossible to withdraw the vassal states. The north is eyeing us like a tiger eyeing its prey.
Overseas vassals…The Great Ming Ocean did not have a territory, so it was not possible.
The vassal king opened up…I'm afraid that won't do. He's my son after all. I can't bear to!
He could only choose the last option, which was to raise the status of the Imperial Clan Court!
Just like in the video!
Give the Imperial Clan Court specific authority, such as financial authority!”
Zhu Yuanzhang considered Zhu Chen's ideas one by one and chose the last one.
Zhu Biao frowned.
"Imperial Father, your son feels that it would be best to use four methods at once."
Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand and said,"There's no need to say more. The first three methods won't work!"”
Zhu Biao looked at Old Zhu, who had a firm attitude, and his idea of letting him be the Retired Emperor became even more firm.
Father, don't blame your son. You're too stubborn.
Zhu Yuanzhang did not know what Zhu Biao was thinking. Seeing him deep in thought, he advised,"There's no need to think too much. This is already the best solution. Let's leave it at that for now. It's getting late. Rest early."
"Yes, Imperial Father."
......
The next day.
The comparison video began.
the third act
Ming Shizong Zhu Houyi VS Ming Anzong Zhu Yueyao
Soul Formation Stage Cultivators vs. Australia has always been a part of the Southern Ocean since ancient times.
At this moment, in the bullet screen…
"First place, first place!"
"The title of this scene!"
" Soul Formation Realm cultivator?"
"Could it be that Zhu Houjin has really cultivated the immortal path?”
"No way. How can there be immortals in this world? Who has seen them with their own eyes?”
"Ao Zhou? Where is Australia? Has anyone heard of this name?”
"Don't talk. You'll know when you see!”
The golden words slowly disappeared, and the video appeared.
Zhu Houjiu's superb micro-control had completely taken control of the court.
However, he had never received the proper education of a prince.
However, he played with the civil servants in the court.
It was really surprising.
Other than that.
When Zhu Houjian was in power, many famous people appeared in Ming Dynasty.
Civil officials such as Xia Yan, Yan Song, Xu Jie, Gao Gong, Zhang Juzheng.
Famous people include Hai Rui, Hu Zongxian, Qi Jiguang, Yu Dayou, Yang Jisheng and Tan Lun.
These people were either in charge of the government or in a stable area.
Among them, Qi Jiguang was the number one general since the founding of Ming Dynasty.
At this moment, in the First Primordial Great Ming World.
Wuying Hall.
The generals had gathered together these days to discuss the strategy to attack the Wei Nation.
"I think we should set off from Korea and land directly here, which is Tsima Island, and then head straight for the Wei Nation's capital!”
"No, it's too risky. There's still Meng Yuan in the north, Liaodong doesn't belong to our Ming Dynasty yet, and Korea's attitude isn't clear either."
"Hmph, why don't we deal with Korea first? It's just a small country!”
"Don't underestimate this small country. Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty attacked Korea three times, but wasn't he beaten to the point of fleeing?”
"Then what do you think we should do?"
"Hmph, our goal is not to destroy the country. Why don't we set off from Zhejiang and take down this island in the north?”
The generals became fiercer and fiercer.
Xu Da, on the other hand, only stared at the comparison video.
His mind was no longer on strategy.
Xu Da understood these generals too well, so when they were tired of quarreling, they stopped.
"Old Tang, what ability do you think this person has to be called the number one general after the founding of the country!”
