First Minister of Ming Dynasty

Zhu Di left with arrogance and pride.

But Li Shanchang, who looked at his back, was not happy at all. You're welcome. Over the years, Li Xianggong has only known more, not less, than Zhang Ximeng!

After a little bit of sorting out, you will find that education reform, fiscal and taxation reform, and the promotion of industrial and commercial development... These things are almost the most critical things in the Ming Dynasty.

As long as it is done well, the Ming Dynasty is expected to completely surpass the Han and Tang Dynasties, and it also has enough national strength to expand to the outside world. At that time, it may not be able to achieve a thousand-year prosperity, but it can be expected for five hundred years of prosperity.

In fact, Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhang Ximeng should be smiling at Jiuquan if they can achieve this step.

But because of this, it is very troublesome to do this, and it requires drastic measures, and even throwing a knife on himself, Li Shanchang dare not say who can be implicated.

But he knew that he had been prime minister for so many years, and although he escaped, he was not completely safe.

If you want to survive, you have to keep working hard.

Counting on Zhu Di?

If the old man relies on you to protect it, it will be shameless!

Li Shanchang decided to go to Kaijing regardless of his old age. Lanyu was stationing troops here, and the two foxes met. Lan Yu was much more powerful than Zhu Di. After a few chats, he understood Li Shanchang's mind.

"I said Li Xiang, I understand what you mean. You just want to get some food to please the superiors and save your life, right?"

Li Shanchang rolled his eyes, he was so angry.

"Can't you say something nice and show some respect to my old man?"

Lan Yu hehe, "If respect can be exchanged for food, I can call you father!"

In a word, Lao Li was speechless.

After a long while, Li Shanchang said: "Now Gaoli has already planed all the leek roots and still wants to get food, it's really a bit difficult."

Even Li Shanchang shook his head, showing how difficult it was.

"Li Xiang, this place is so small. After the war, the hukou has been halved, and people are dying of hunger. It's really not easy to squeeze out a little oil and water. But...I have another trick, is your old man willing?" Lan Yu smiled. .

However, Li Shanchang frowned. At this stage, what else can he do?

"Xin Yan?"

Lan Yu couldn't help giving a thumbs up, "You're still smart!"

Li Shanchang shook his head subconsciously and released Xin Yan, which was nothing more than attacking the remaining noble family in Goryeo and draining their last value... But the problem is that, if he wants to control Goryeo, his grip is gone.

Moreover, when the time comes, Goryeo will be no different from the mainland. Then, how can he do whatever he wants?

He was conferred the title of King of Han, but he was the one who called the wind and the rain and enjoyed life, not the one who worked hard and came to be a political envoy.

Old Li subconsciously wanted to refuse, but Lan Yu smiled slightly beside him, "Li Xiang, you can think clearly, what you did in the past, I don't know. You are now condescending and watching from the sidelines, regardless of success or failure, the superior and the master They will settle accounts with you. The people in the hands of His Royal Highness will not let you go... By the way, and that Sun Yan, what do you think of him?"

Hearing this, Elder Li Shan's face changed color, looking very unnatural.

To be honest, he could see everyone clearly, but it was Sun Yan who surprised him.

This guy is obviously the one with the shallowest foundation and the softest strength.

But he passed a few things, got a firm foothold, easily suppressed Wang Guangyang and Hu Weiyong, and said that he was a famous figure of a generation, which would be too much.

But this guy is ruthless, that's for sure.

Moreover, he is also different from Zhang Ximeng's single-minded pursuit of the country. Sun Yan can do it well, and if he can't do it well, it is not a big deal.

In the face of such a fool, this is the most terrifying thing.

Li Shanchang thought for a while, and finally gritted his teeth, "That's the only way to do it! Lan Yu, do you have any plans?"

Seeing Li Shanchang nodding, Lan Yu finally couldn't help laughing, contented.

Unlike Li Shanchang, who is greedy for power and money, Lan Yu wants to be a champion, and it is absolutely impossible to completely regain Goryeo.

Therefore, he had already planned, "Li Xiang, although Gao Li is a little bit naive, but when I heard that Xin Min came back, he will definitely die. I predict that there will be a big chaos."

Li Shanchang pondered: "Are you sure you can handle it? Are our troops in Goryeo enough?"

Lan Yu laughed, "I said Li Xianggong, why are you always confused? How can you do this kind of thing yourself!"

Li Shanchang was stunned, "What are you going to do?"

Lan Yudao: "It's not easy, I checked it out. Among the generals of Goryeo, only the right army commander Li Chenggui is a figure. If Goryeo has the heart of not being a minister, he will definitely rely on him to raise troops. It's a coincidence, Li Chenggui's son, Li Fangyuan, is currently in the Peking University Hall and is undergoing indoctrination."

When Li Shanchang heard this, he finally understood what Lan Yu meant.

"You mean to encourage Li Chenggui to raise troops to clean up King Goryeo?"

Lan Yu smiled and said, "How about it? How about this trick?"

Li Shanchang thought for a while, and said directly: "After the matter is completed, no matter what, you will kill Li Chenggui to me!"

Lan Yu was shocked, "I said Li Xianggong, why are you so ruthless! He is quite ruthless in fighting Japanese pirates, and he is considered a hero in the whole of Korea!"

Li Shanchang widened his eyes and said sternly, "Because of this, we must eradicate it. Can you do it?"

Lan Yu blinked his eyes, it turns out that there is still some gap between him and Lao Li, not only must he be ruthless in doing things, but he must also be ruthless!

"I get it, that's what happened."

Two guys who lacked great virtue, got together.

According to their estimates, about 1.5 million stone can be copied in the end... These grains can be said unceremoniously, not to mention the leek roots, not even the weed roots.

After this round of squeezing, Goryeo must equalize the fields, give the people a way to live, and let them breathe, otherwise it will really become an unsustainable fishing.

They are preparing here, and on the other side, Zhu Ying is also actively mobilizing.

Zhu Ying started the business earlier than Zhu Di, so does he have no food?

In fact, Zhu Ying not only has, but also a lot of them.

It's just that he has a task, which is to go through Yunnan.

Thanks to Zhao Song, this piece of land has also left the Central Plains for hundreds of years, and the situation is roughly similar to that of Peking. The difficulties faced are even more severe.

The main reason is that Yunnan has a complex terrain, surrounded by Tusi tribes, various forces, intertwined, and chaotic...

Zhu Ying had to emigrate in large numbers to establish settlements, and to sort out the relationship with the chieftains. Those who could be subdued and those who could not be subdued, they had to be eliminated.

He also has to repair roads, build schools, and promote education... All in all, he has done everything Zhu Di has done, and it is several times more difficult than Zhu Di.

After so many years, Zhu Ying finally achieved some results. The military colony in Yunnan can meet more than 80% of the consumption.

The remaining 20% ​​can be obtained from Annan and other places.

In other words, there are nearly 2 million shi of grain in Lingnan, which can be taken out for emergency.

Zhu Ying still felt that it was not enough, so he contacted Fang Guan and asked him to allocate a batch of food from Xiaoliuqiu, which could have about 800,000 stone.

Active preparations are being made everywhere. Zhang Ximeng has made preparations over the years, and it has been demonstrated. The situation of an encirclement and annihilation battle has already appeared.

The court is prepared with sufficient firepower, and is ready to fight.

And Yingtian's food prices, not only did not fall, but there is a slight upward trend.

Eighty percent of the first batch of grain in Peiping has been consumed, and some grain stores have already sold out their stocks.

On the other hand, the newspapers were full of articles, and the artillery fire attacking Zhu Di became more and more intense.

Unlike table salt, there are not many people who have the courage to stand up and speak for salt merchants directly.

Food is different. Many people have to take out food and sell it for money to maintain household expenses.

The drop in food prices is not a good thing for these ordinary people.

Therefore, there are different levels of voices in various places, saying that they hope that the court can maintain the price of food and not let the people work in vain.

Layers of pressure fell on Zhu Biao's shoulders.

For this young prince, it was indeed a critical moment.

"Sun Xiang, how do you think you can cope now?"

Sun Yan said: "His Royal Highness, the grain sold at this time is still too little. Those grain merchants who are hoarding strange things behind their backs have not all surfaced. If they can't be wiped out in one fell swoop, they are just busy working in vain. There are not many opportunities like this. As for the common people, It is true that there are some losses when the price of food comes down, but if I say it, there is no way... Next, we must reorganize the taxation, and redistribute the land according to the population. At that point, I am afraid that most people will not be able to sell much food. If you make a little more money, you can only enter the factory workshop.”

Zhu Biao was stunned for a moment, and then he said, "Is this also necessary for the development of industry and commerce?"

Sun Yan paused and nodded vigorously, "That's true."

"Then what are you waiting for!" Zhu Biao said directly: "Sell a batch of grain, don't you have grain reserves? Take out a million stone!"

Sun Yan pondered slightly, and finally nodded, "This minister will do it now!"

The ones in front are just appetizers, and the next one is hand-to-hand combat, and the bayonet is red.

The imperial court began to sell food in Changping warehouses in several cities, and began to sell it directly with 600 Wenbao banknotes.

This price has been lower than in previous years.

Those grain merchants need at least 800 wen to Yiguan Baochao to guarantee profits.

And what Chang Pingcang did, does it mean that the grain market will be controlled by the imperial court in the future? This is more than losing money by lowering the price, and it is also unacceptable.

Tolerable or unbearable!

It is worth mentioning that these people did not continue to entangle in Yingtian. After all, no one knows the consequences of the imperial city. In other cities, food prices began to skyrocket.

Quickly broke through the consistent treasure money, and UU Kanshu www.uukanshu.com used all the great tricks to surround Wei and save Zhao.

"Chongba, are you still standing by now? Aren't you helping Biao'er?" Empress Ma looked sad.

Zhu Yuanzhang shook his head slightly, "It's not time yet. If you can't solve this problem, you don't deserve to be our son."

Lao Zhu stood up and said to Queen Ma, "Let's go, let's see grandson."

Empress Ma could only nod. The old couple came straight to the East Palace. On the way, Zhu Yuanzhang asked, "We heard that Jiang Shangshu has asked for leave again. Is she sick? Would you like to take a look?"

Queen Ma smiled, "I should have a look, but it's not a disease!"

"Not sick?"

"She is 80% pregnant, this is the third child of the Zhang family!"
