I, fused with Vegeta, invaded the reincarnation space - #120 - Chapter 120

Zhu Yuanzhang laughed inexplicably when he heard this, leaving Zhu Biao confused!”We have already written to discuss this with Old Fourteen before!”

“Old Fourteen also replied, as long as the court is willing to pay, he can give you as much cement as you need, and the price is absolutely cheap!”.

“With the current financial resources of the national treasury, there is no problem in building a few cement roads!”

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Zhu Biao’s confused look and explained with a smile.

“It turns out that you have already discussed this with Old Fourteen?”

Zhu Biao couldn’t laugh or cry when he heard this. He didn’t expect that the old man hadn’t gone to Ganzhou yet, but had been secretly in contact with Old Fourteenth from time to time!”It’s just a few letters exchanged! Zhu

Yuanzhang said noncommittally

“If Ganzhou can supply enough cement, there will be no problem in building roads. The only thing to consider is how to persuade the Ministry of Household Affairs to spend the money!”

Zhu Biao looked at the old man and reminded him slowly.

After all, Zhang Wei, the Minister of Household Affairs, is a famous iron rooster. Sometimes even if the emperor Zhu Yuanzhang wants to use money, he still needs Zhang Wei’s consent! Not to mention Even if the cost of building a cement road is given by Lao Shisi at a cheap price of 24, it is definitely a very huge number, and it will definitely not be less!”We will personally tell Zhang Yan that this cement road, It must be fixed!”

“In addition, in addition to road construction, rubber production must be increased. In the future, not only will all official roads be paved with cement roads, but more importantly, rubber tires, at least for the court and the army, must be replaced!”

Zhu Yuanzhang said seriously, obviously determined to disguise this matter!

As for the rubber planting, Zhu Yuanzhang also wrote to Zhu Lai and mentioned that he wanted to expand the scale of planting, but according to the reply of Lao Shi4 , this thing can only be grown in the tropical areas of the south!

It is definitely impossible for Zhu Yuanzhang to promote it throughout the Ming Dynasty, so he can only find a way to grow it there, so Zhu Yuanzhang simply regarded Qiongzhou as an island! He personally ordered the whole island of Qiongzhou to be responsible for planting rubber trees!

Hearing that Zhu Yuanzhang had already made up his mind, Zhu Biao did not continue to dwell on this issue.

He knew that the old man’s decision was right, whether it was building cement roads. The promotion of rubber is a good thing for the country and the people!

The only thing he is worried about is that if he takes too big a step, he will easily get hurt!

But for now, there should be no worries in this regard, and I believe that the old man should be sensible. Yes! The most important thing is that the Ministry of Revenue is in charge of the imperial court’s purse. Even if the old man wants to do anything, he can’t do it! The feudal kings all sent me coupons……”

Zhu Biao suddenly changed the topic at this time. He did not finish what he said, but he believed that Zhu Yuanzhang must know what it meant! Every year at this time, several vassal princes in the frontier fortress would invariably give the court troubles. Of course, Lao Siwen’s side was an exception!

Because the Ming Dynasty’s autumn harvest is around the corner, and the Tatars in Mobei have to face the pressure of food shortages after winter, there are always some stubborn and iron-headed Tatars who are not afraid of death and go south in groups to ‘threat grass’ in the valley!

Although they are basically small-scale teams, ranging from hundreds to dozens of people, the villages and towns in the border areas that are harassed by these Tatars do not have the ability to resist these Tatars!

At this time, the court or the army of the vassal king need to stand up and deal with these Tatars who dare to invade the border!

A war will definitely require money and food, so every year at this time, most frontier vassal kings will complain to the court about their poverty and clamor for the court to provide money and food in order to deal with the threat of the Mobei Tatars!

As soon as Zhu Biao opened his mouth, Zhu Yuanzhang understood what was going on, or he had already been used to it!

“Follow the old rules!”

Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand, meaning that Zhu Biao should just deal with it according to the usual practice in previous years!

In fact, do these vassal kings really need this little money and food from the court? It’s just an excuse for these sons, even if it is Even if you don’t give it, it won’t affect anything!

“Well…everything else is easy to talk about, but the fourth child wants a bit more this year! Zhu

Biao couldn’t help but smile bitterly after hearing this.

“kindness?”

“How much does this kid want to ask for?”

When Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, he frowned immediately.

“He said he wanted 1 million taels of silver and 200,000 stones of food and grass!”

Zhu Biao directly reported the amount applied for by Zhu Di to Zhu Yuanzhang.

“This fourth child, does he really think that all our money and food are brought by the strong wind?”

“With 1 million taels of silver and 200,000 stones of grain and grass, he really dared to speak!”

When Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, his eyes immediately widened, and he was obviously very angry at Zhu Di’s sudden opening of his mouth!

In previous years, at most he would be given one hundred thousand or two hundred thousand silver as food payment, and one hundred thousand taels of silver would be enough. It can provide several months of food and salary to 50,000 soldiers! What’s more, Zhu Di’s own bodyguards only have more than 10,000. The rest are imperial troops, and the food and salary are directly allocated by the Ministry of Household Affairs!

“Then let’s just give it to him according to last year’s standards?”

Zhu Biao looked at Zhu Yuanzhang’s angry look and tried with a wry smile.

“No more!”

“This year, all the feudal lords are refusing to give. If we have the money, we might as well just use it to build roads!”

“Old Fourteen also supports so many people. When has he ever asked me for a tael of silver? Why don’t they learn from Lao Shi4?”

Zhu Yuanzhang immediately changed his mind. Now not only was Zhu Di’s food and salary wiped out, but also the food and salary of the other 903 vassals were directly in vain!??

And this account had to be directly calculated on the fourth son, so Zhu Di Let’s take the blame! Let’s blame Zhu Di!”Okay, we get it!”

Zhu Biao sighed helplessly, wondering in his heart, what is the fourth child so crazy about? If you want to say that you are going to fight a big war and send out the army for the Northern Expedition, it is reasonable to ask for so much money and food.!

But even if you want to go to the Northern Expedition, you still need the consent of the old man! Unless you, the fourth child, dare to lead the army deep into Mobei without asking for a penny from the old man, there is no use in guarding the border! Do you need to resupply so much money and grain?

As for whether these feudal kings can still defend the border after not providing food and wages, Zhu Biao and Zhu Yuanzhang are not too worried about this!

The situation in the northwest is relatively stable, and the Mobei Tatars They also dare not go south to the northwest of the Ming Dynasty at will, but the grassland situation is complicated, and some small tribes will still take risks to survive the winter and invade the Ming Dynasty border from Shanxi or Hebei areas.

Fortunately, these Tatars still know their limits and only grab food and do not dare to mess around!

Killings!

If there are a lot of casualties among the people, King Su will definitely pursue it to the end if the other vassal kings don’t tell them.

They will definitely not afford it, like in Shanxi or Hebei, there will be no Tatars who enter the village and commit massacres!

Something happened!.
