I, fused with Vegeta, invaded the reincarnation space - #121 - Chapter 121
Although Zhu Fan and Zhu Di’s achievements are not as impressive as Zhu Gai’s, they have already gained a reputation over the years. No one is willing to offend these two vassal kings to death!
Of course, small and medium-sized tribes do not have the courage, but if the Oara or Tatar tribes gather a large army, they may not dare to touch the King of Jin or the King of Yan! But the possibility of this is not high. If the Ming Dynasty does not go deep into Mobei to beat them, they will already be burning incense!
Therefore, this small group of Tatars going south are basically speculators.
If they succeed, they will make a lot of money.
If they fail, they may end up dead!
Once encountered by the Ming army, the tribes that were lucky enough to escape would quickly decline due to the loss of a large number of young and middle-aged men, and the final end would be to drag their families with them and be directly merged into other tribes!.
Comparatively speaking, Zhu Yuanzhang is most reassured by the situation in the northwest!
Outside the northwest, with Hami Guard as a stronghold, there are often patrols by border army teams. Basically, as long as they encounter a Tatar team and cannot produce customs clearance documents or commercial securities and communication certificates, they do not need to report it, and they can be killed directly. Got it!
But how could an ordinary small tribe obtain Ganzhou’s trading certificates? Even if you have trading coupons, you still need a caravan and supplies to trade!
For example, in the trading of cattle, sheep and horses, only the large grassland tribes can cash out the excess!
Otherwise, these Tatars would not have to take the risk of going south!
Small tribes like these don’t have fertile grassland pastures, and they basically don’t have many livestock. Even if they do have them, they are kept for the winter and cannot be sold to you! These small tribes can only deal with some small villages in the Ming Dynasty, relying on dozens or hundreds of young adults to support the entire tribe!
The grassland land is not suitable for farming, and the tribes at the bottom are also struggling to survive like the ordinary people of the Ming Dynasty!
Tribes with trading certificates are even less likely to do such a thing, and they can only offend King Su!
Therefore, in the past few years, the situation on the border of the Ming Dynasty has generally been relatively stable. There is not much need for troops to deal with the Tatars moving south, so there is no need to give these vassal kings too much money and food at all! This is why Zhu Yuanzhang was so angry. He was really addicted to the imperial court!
During lunch, Zhu Yuanzhang specifically asked Wang Chen to order the imperial kitchen to make potato vermicelli! At the same time, Zhang Yan, the Minister of Household Affairs, was also summoned into the Fengtian Hall! Now that we have decided to build the road, we must get Zhang Yan, the Minister of Household Affairs. As long as the person in charge of the money bag relaxes, everything else will be easy to deal with!
By the time the potato vermicelli was served, Zhang Yan, the Minister of Household Affairs, had already arrived at Fengtian Hall.
“Zhang Aiqing, come and have dinner with us. ~!”
“Try this potato vermicelli from Ganzhou at noon today!”
After Zhu Yuanzhang greeted the emperor and his ministers, he invited Zhang Meng to sit down and eat together.
Zhang Meng looked flattered. There were definitely not many people who could be invited by Zhu Yuanzhang to have a meal with Fengtian Hall alone. There may have been many in the past, but He was almost dead! Anyway, this was the first time he was summoned by Zhu Yuanzhang to have a meal together at Fengtian Palace!
Although he was flattered, he also began to feel suspicious.
His intuition told him that the emperor must have asked for money, otherwise there would be no money. You must be so polite to yourself! Thinking of this, how can Zhang Yan have any appetite?
As the Minister of Household Affairs, Zhang Yan is in charge of the money and grain of the entire Ming Dynasty.
The pressure can be imagined.
Even if the emperor wants to use money, He had to make precise calculations and weigh the pros and cons before agreeing!
Looking at Zhu Yuanzhang’s attitude, the amount of money needed this time is definitely not a small amount!
The year has been full, and there is still at least millions of taels of silver left over, but in Zhang Yan’s opinion, this surplus is far from enough.
If there is a catastrophic disaster, it will all have to be poured out!
To put it bluntly, Zhang Wei, the Minister of Household Affairs, is very competent!
Zhu Yuanzhang recently became fond of eating potato vermicelli, and basically asked the imperial kitchen to make a meal of this kind of potato vermicelli.
It is actually very simple!
, dried and made, is a method specially developed by Lao Si to store potatoes for a long time!
Nowadays, Ganzhou’s potato vermicelli has begun to be mass-produced and sold throughout the Ming Dynasty!
They also place orders in large quantities, mainly because it is not expensive and can be eaten by ordinary people, and it is easy to store without fear of spoilage, especially when paired with the chili sauce produced in Ganzhou, which made Zhu Yuanzhang taste it!
It’s a completely different feeling.
He can eat a bowl every day and his mouth will be full of oil!
Compared with delicacies from the mountains and seas, he still prefers to eat this kind of food that ordinary people can eat every day!
Zhu Yuanzhang is enjoying his bowl of potato vermicelli here. , the food was relatively casual, and the noodle making was a bit loud!
As soon as he finished half a bowl of noodle, Zhu Yuanzhang’s eyes couldn’t help but fall on Zhang Yan!
“¨~ Zhang Aiqing, this potato vermicelli needs to be eaten slowly to make it taste better!”
“Eat more!”
Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Zhang Ming who hadn’t used his chopsticks much, and couldn’t help but remind him! How can Zhang Ming have any appetite now? Although the treasury has been full recently, because Zhu Yuanzhang wants to expand rubber planting, he has already allocated a large amount of money. , it already made him very distressed!
Just the rubber trees, the ministers also supported the large-scale planting, after all, this thing is indeed a good thing! But when Zhu Yuanzhang wanted to spend money on other aspects, he said that Zhang Yan was reluctant!
Of course, this is only one aspect!
Not having the heart to eat is just one of the reasons. What’s more important is that Zhu Yuanzhang makes a lot of noises about eating noodles. How can he have the appetite
? How should the emperor eat? The Ming Dynasty was different from the Tang Dynasty!
In the Tang Dynasty, some civil servants were even directly involved in the emperor’s private life, such as Wei Zheng and Li Shimin.
But Zhu Yuanzhang was different!
(Li Haozhao) Born as a peasant, he has never cared about Confucianism!
There are some things in Confucianism that he can learn and use!
But there are some things in Confucianism that he hates.
He will not give face to anyone who doesn’t listen to him!
, please eat slowly.
“
Just as Zhang Yu was about to move his chopsticks, he heard Zhu Yuanzhang starting to slurp noodles again, and couldn’t help but remind him!”It’s okay, this is how you enjoy sipping noodles. People all over the world don’t live like this. Of?”
While Zhu Yuanzhang was talking, he had already finished the bowl of noodles!
Seeing that Zhu Yuanzhang had put down the empty bowl and chopsticks, how could Zhang Yu, a minister, have the nerve to continue eating? He didn’t have any appetite anyway, so Zhang Yu simply gave it up. All the dishes and chopsticks were put down
“Zhang Aiqing, I came to you this time because I have something to discuss with you about luck!”
Zhu Yuanzhang didn’t pay attention, but stared at Zhang Yan with burning eyes and said
“Your Majesty, please speak!”.
