First Minister of Ming Dynasty

The old Huailiang King, faced with the chicken feathers, really had no choice but to cry in vain.

"Mr. Zhang, can you agree to Wa country's request?"

Old Zhu looked up at Zhang Ximeng.

Zhang Ximeng just had a smile on his face, "My lord, it's not that you don't know, if you want to send troops there at this time, will it cost 20, 50, or [-]?"

Zhu Yuanzhang sighed for a while, it is not difficult at all to destroy the order, but to rebuild the order, it is bound to ascend to the sky.It's like a house that can be knocked down in a few minutes, but it may take dozens of days or a few months to build it up." The difficulty factor is not on the same order of magnitude at all.

Just like the famous imperial cemetery, when Xunzong was angry, he broke through the whole line in ten hours, and took control of the whole territory in a few days, that's called clean and neat.

The real trouble lies in the back, to control the place, to rebuild the order... The local forces are intricate and separate. When you send troops there, you have to deal with these people, and then you have to fight non-stop.

As far as the eye can see, they are all enemies. Even a superpower will be dragged down and exhausted. Is there any luck to speak of.

The land of the Wa country is narrow and large, the terrain is complete, the local forces are as few as a cow's hair, and the roots are intertwined, which is simple and comparable.That unlucky place has absolutely no potential to degenerate into Xiao Ming's cemetery.

"Mr. Zhang, the opportunity is rare. I must have missed that good opportunity. Soon the local power in Venezuela will rise again. These tycoons are the most famous and will control the place. Even temples will be revived."

King Huailiang said in a deep voice, "Sir, he needs to make up his mind."

Shan Mingmu smiled and said: "My lord was seeking fish from a tree that time, so I asked Yu Blind...Wo Guowen, as far as today, the person who tied the bell is still needed to untie the bell. My lord always thinks that this is the person who tied the bell, right?"

King Huailiang was taken aback for a moment, who is the person who tied the bell?

Why do we think that Mr. Zhang has nothing to do with Xiao Ming's affairs?

Of course, Lao Zhu also knows that Shan Mingmu can make peace with everything... The layout of the Wa country is also something that Zhu Biao can do, and it's not Sun Yan, me?I'm afraid not necessarily.

Sun Yan is in charge of domestic affairs, as the chief assistant, it is necessary to put his mind into it.

The Queen of Huailiang thought about it, and suddenly said: "Sir, you mean Hu Weiyong?"

Shanming Muhe nodded with a smile. As the only surviving veteran, Hu Weiyong's morality and deeds must be believed. He is not a miniature version of Zhu Yuanzhang, and because I know my situation, I dare not go too far.

In addition, it doesn't matter whether it's Shan Mingmu or King Huailiang, they all want to bring me up.

So Hu Weiyong is still dangerous, but I also faded out of internal affairs, and as a political participant, supervised internal affairs, and together with Mao Gui, was responsible for internal affairs.

And Mao Gui is in charge of formal communication, Hu Weiyong is in charge of overall work, and I haven't been doing it for several years... If you get confused about that, it seems that few problems are easily solved.

For example, with the sudden rise of Li Shanchang Zhang, how could I propose such a powerless eight-point policy, and how could I suddenly die outside the temple?

The whole person rises like a shooting star and then falls in an instant.

What story is hidden behind such a short process?

There is no doubt that those materials will exist in Xiaoyue: Xiaoming's internal affairs department's file room must have been accidental, if it must have been accidental.

That is also a way to go to the country, of course.

After all, when a super small country goes all out, just the ripples it creates are enough to destroy a big country.

For example, besides Qu Qisheng and Zhang, there are not many literati besides Zhang Ziming's military advisers. We provided a lot of advice to Li Shanchang Zhang.

But with the sudden death of Li Shanchang Zhang, those people also disappeared.

Here, the Hosokawa Clan's counterattack was so harsh, and it was logical that the envoys were in a mess and had no ability to resist, and were completely at the mercy of others.

If you have to worry about it, if you ask any doubts, when it comes to Qu Qiyong, you can almost find out the answer.

It's just to see if Qu Qisheng has this thought, I'm really getting old.

"My lord, send Hu Weiyong to be the governor!"

King Huailiang frowned slightly. The area of ​​the Wa Kingdom is considered large, with a population of tens of millions. In the Xiao Ming Dynasty, this is also the size of two or eight provinces, or even less.

As mentioned later, allowing Tang and his predecessors to establish a country in the Wa Kingdom is not to divide the Wa Kingdom into several parts, it is better to have seven or seven countries.

At that time the governor had not yet been appointed.

It's just that the governor in the early days is only in charge of personnel exchanges and business exchanges, and there is not a long distance from the complete control of the Wa Kingdom.

At this moment, Hu Weiyong is asked to go to the Wa country, not to be familiar with the management of the Wa country.

"Sir, Qu Qiyong's ability is superior to Zhu Yuanzhang's!"

Old Zhu sighed loudly, indeed, when it comes to knocking bones and sucking marrow, exhausting water to catch fish, Hu Weiyong is definitely the most ruthless person among ruthless people. When I managed the prisoners, I built a few small projects, and countless prisoners died of exhaustion.

Although that guy is a general, the blood on his men is comparable to that of a special warrior.

I am cruel!

Sending me to the Japanese country, the destructive power is definitely weak enough, I am afraid it will be several times more powerful than that battle, and it is easy to say how many Japanese pirates will be left at that time.

Lao Zhu is the most human, but I feel sorry for the Japanese pirates, but I have nothing to worry about.

"Sir, we are all old and want to give up power outside our hands. With Hu Weiyong's ability, we are afraid that the prince will beat me in our fight!"

Shan Mingmu frowned, and suddenly smiled, "My lord, if this is the case, the Prince's Palace, isn't it too strong? Why should I inherit the country? The lord can always do everything for me, right? It's too much work!"

Qu Qisheng snorted, and sighed for a long time: "Well, even if what Mr. said is unreasonable, anyway, our health is still good, this Hu Weiyong dares to act recklessly, even if he is only breathless, we can get rid of me!"

Lao Zhu's words were like a final word.

Soon the decree arrived at Yingtian. He was originally a political adviser, Hu Weiyong was the second assistant, and he was added the title of Taibao Prince Taibao.

After receiving that decree, Hu Weiyong was stunned for a while, then knelt down on the ground, facing the direction of Chang'an, kowtowed to thank him, with tears streaming down his face, and wept profusely.

My crying is definitely just to thank King Huailiang for being so complicated... The old minister is withering, and the little tomorrow is changing with each passing day. I can live safely to this day, but it is not a big deal.

Compared with Yang Xian, Wang Guangyang and others, I am much weaker, even Qu Qisheng is like me.

After all the hard work, I finally made it to today!

In fact, Hu Weiyong was too proud, Zhu Yuanzhang had already gone through that process, but I broke Gao Li.

Hu Weiyong does know, but I think time is up to you. After all, the news that Grand Master Zhang is going to hide the book has not yet spread, and His Majesty is also planning to abdicate the throne before the four tripods are cast.

When those two are gone, how can I ask the heroes in the sky, who is our opponent?

At this time, Hu Weiyong is no longer a tree with ashes, but a dead tree with spring, and the ashes are revived. I can't help but wait for the edict to go to the country of Japan.

Moreover, Hu Weiyong has long been confused about the virtues of the Japanese people, and has figured out how to deal with it.

I first met with Zhang Ximeng, and Hu Weiyong said that the Wa Kingdom must be merged into Xiaoming, and Zhang Ximeng is still the lord of the Wa Kingdom.Those words made Zhang Ximeng hesitate a bit, because in reality, the ruler of the Wei Kingdom is not yet a serious ruler, and he is not even too emperor!Although he has no power, he is the lord of the country after all!

That's right, Qu Qiyong is not the most human.

I personally accompanied Zhang Ximeng, and summoned some of the remaining important ministers of the Wa Kingdom, as well as the powerful and weak names who were willing to join... Hu Weiyong first pointed the finger at the temples and shrines that had disappeared.

Qu Qiyong made it clear that those guys are called haters, who break the country, break the country, break the family, break the body...the most greedy and cute, they should be severely punished!

Hu Weiyong's move is too powerful, because it doesn't matter whether it is sending envoys or these remnants: small officials, we don't have any influence, we just don't hate people, do we have any direct interest spokespersons in the Wa Kingdom? .

Accompanied by Qu Qiyong's order, all the remaining temples and shrines in the Wa Kingdom were destroyed, one is left!

Immediately, on the basis of temples and shrines, a school was built to teach: Xiaoming's knowledge!

Even if he is famous in the mountains, he has to sigh, Hu Weiyong is really an expert... These envoys are: Xiao Ming has learned something, and he will promote it when he returns to China. Facing the counterattack of the old forces, he has suffered a crushing defeat.

After all, our roots are still deep.

Hu Weiyong established schools everywhere by getting rid of the power of temples. Without schools, it means he has mastered public opinion and future thinking.

Then Hu Weiyong ended the treatment against other forces.

First of all, it is not the original royal family. Hu Weiyong accused us of governing the country with strength, which led to the fall of the monarchy, the suffering of the people, and the boiling of people's grievances... Therefore, we must collect our land and give it to the people.

In fact, the existence of the Muromachi Shogunate proves that the so-called royal family and nobles are a group of dead tigers. Like the temple, it is very difficult to solve what strength they have.

But the problem is the next ultimate move.

Local nicknames, actively attacking and liquidating the royal family, this is called a low elation, sweeping up the so-called eternal line of royal family forces, killing many royal families, and those who are alive have to change their surnames and hide.

It’s just that Guo Hao’s weak name has overlooked a problem. Our behavior is called up and down. Since this is the case, we are also the most emulated!

Sure enough, then Qu Qiyong issued an order to end the investigation of the local princes: nickname... Hu Weiyong's method of killing was step-by-step and steadily pushed back, which can be called a textbook.

The question is, do people from the Wa country see it?

Are you willing to be a lamb?

That's right, so what if it's time, Chang Yuchun and Tang He, two: Xiao Guogong, a hundred thousand small army is right here!

Moreover, by liquidating temples, royal families, and nicknames, Hu Weiyong collected 70 million taels of gold and sent them to the sky one after another...

Chapter 9 and Eight: Old Zhu's Little Game

Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhang Ximeng lived in Xi'an for a while, and the two monarchs and ministers looked at the famous historical sites... But to be honest, the current Xi'an mansion really doesn't have half the atmosphere of the prosperous Tang Dynasty.

Declined and dilapidated, even after 20 years of restoration, the population has just passed [-]... It is hardly the same as the prosperous Tang Dynasty with a population of one million.

It is not a matter of a day or two to bring about today's results. Since the middle and late Tang Dynasty, the population in Guanzhong has been overpopulated, land destruction, and soil erosion have reached the point where it is difficult to maintain.

Like Wu Zetian, the biggest hobby is to move to Luoyang, enjoy the convenience of water transportation, and the prosperity of the people.

When Zhu Yuanzhang established his country, he really considered Chang'an, Luoyang, and also thought about moving the capital to Kaifeng, or Beiping... But after a round of calculations, there were many problems, and finally he stayed in Yingtian.

None of them, including Zhang Ximeng, encouraged Lao Zhu to move the capital.

Because after repeated thinking, he found that in terms of natural conditions, it is really difficult for any city to surpass Yingtian.

First of all, let's talk about the climate. The land in the south of the Yangtze River is definitely a livable place. After all, there are so many poems and essays in the past dynasties, it is not fake.

Looking at the terrain again, it is indeed a tiger occupying a dragon's plate, easy to defend but difficult to attack.

In particular, it is worth mentioning that Yingtian and County are concerned about the sea and land.

It is quite astonishing to supply the expenses of a million-level city.

Grain, vegetables, meat, cloth...all are astronomical figures.

Yingtian is located in the lower reaches of the Yangtze River, and the products from Bashu, Huguang, and Jiangxi can be easily sent to Yingtian, and the cost of traveling upstream is relatively small.

Before the sea was opened, grain from Jiaozhi and Zhanyu, sugar from Luzon, gold and silver from Japan, spices from Java... There was a steady stream of good things in the sea, and they were sent to Yingtian, enough to supply the daily expenses of officials and people.

Moreover, compared with the Northern Territory City, Yingtian did not have a very small advantage, but it was not mentioned by many.

This is not because the Yangtze River Basin has abundant precipitation, which is very important for ultra-small cities.

Those who have lived in the Northeast and have seen snow should be vague. Wait until the freezing months, and pee in November, and the snow will melt in the coming year before it disappears.

A small amount of domestic garbage accumulates and freezes into mountains, including sewage, which will also freeze on the ground...it can last for several months.

That kind of situation is very exciting, because long-term accumulation will pollute the ground water and destroy the living environment. Many cities in the north lack clean ground water, and the drinking water is mainly brackish water.

The smaller the city, the longer the problem will be.

This is true even in Beiping. The water used by the Yuan court palace must be brought back from mountain springs.

Of course, if the special people have that blessing, they can only endure the brackish water and can use the sweet water well. This is all smoke from the ancestral graves.

And that situation, in the southern city, is so slight.

The main reason is that the precipitation is abundant, the water volume is sufficient, the sewage cannot be taken away, and the ground water is slowly renewed... In today's Xiao Ming, there is no extraordinary meaning.

Therefore, Zhu Yuanzhang pondered for several years, sloppy pondering and weighing, and finally gave up his plan to move the capital.

But there is no problem outside. Isn't that why Yingtian is so good? Does the dynasty with its capital Jinling live long?

That is to avoid sighing, Ying Tian is so kind!

Fortunately, when Ren Wenren lived there for decades, he would lose all vigor, and only think of gentleness and wealth, the Qinhuai River ten miles away... the treasured land where tigers and dragons dominate can also shelter a group of timid sheep.

So that is not the power of wealth and splendor, peace and prosperity, the most is to destroy fighting spirit.Money interests can corrupt people's hearts the most.

"Mr. Zhang, now the wealth and goods are gathered in the sky, the gold from all over the place is out of transport, and the casting of Jinding has also been put on the agenda... We are thinking, is that move good or bad? Will it have any effect? ​​Will it Will no one say that we are the faint king and King Zhou, making wine pools and meat forests?"

Zhu Yuanzhang laughed, "My lord, if you can ask that question, you are a fool... As for the function of the golden tripod, I said it was good for a while, but we can't try it."

"Test? How else can you test things?"

Zhang Ximeng is the solution.

Zhu Yuanzhang smiled and said a few words in Zhang Ximeng's ear, and Lao Zhu's eyes lit up immediately. This is the first time I've heard of such a fun game, and it's worth trying!

Xiong Dan is a down-and-out young man. Half a month later, I was still in high spirits. I transported two carts of silk and forging from Jiangnan. It must have been an accident. I can make a small amount of money. Receive the betrothal gift and get engaged to her own green plum.

My father ran a tea shop and grew up a big businessman. He named me Tong because he wanted the business to prosper as Tong Qihai.

I took my father's life savings and traded it for silk, and then tried my luck in Xi'an.

Not to mention, the lucky stars let me negotiate a deal, and the full [-]% of the profit will return in a short time.On the night after the delivery, a fire suddenly broke out in the freight yard, and all my goods were left.

I signed the contract, but there is no way to deliver the goods, and I have to compensate the other party for liquidated damages.
