Chapter 14 Three-Year Agreement
Zhu Yuanzhang looked up and down at his son.
"It's that simple?"
"It's that simple!"
Zhu Yuanzhang thought for a while, then looked at his grandson.
"Taisun, what do you think?"
Zhu Yunwen said respectfully: "The emperor's grandfather, grandson thinks that the request for 20 uncle is not too much. If our Ming Dynasty really has grain seeds from other countries, it will not be a big deal to send some to Liaodong."
Zhu Yuanzhang actually wanted to agree, but the reason why he asked the grandson in such a way was that he hoped that his son could remember the grandson's kindness. In the future, his son would have to assist the grandson well in his death.
Zhu Song was not stupid either. He quickly realized what Zhu Yuanzhang meant, and that he was asking Zhu Yunwen to sell his favor to him.
Now it seems that Zhu Yunwen's child is harmless, but after Zhu Yuanzhang's death, Zhu Yunwen came to power and became Emperor Jianwen, and immediately began to reduce the power of the vassals!
Moreover, this kid is so cruel to cut the vassal states. He wants to find a vassal king, but that is not easy to defeat.
Even though some vassal kings abide by the laws of the court and are well aware of the principle that the prince violated the law and committed the same crime as the common people, they were still covered with false charges and arrested Ying Tian and threw him into prison.
He even forced several vassal kings to death, who were Zhu Yunwen's biological uncles.
He is also his uncle and a vassal king. Even if he frequently shows goodwill to him now, he will still be unable to escape the destruction of the vassal.
And this kid will definitely lose! Those heroes who can fight, including Lan Yu, have almost been cooked by Zhu Yuanzhang, and there are no military generals left to Zhu Yunwen.
Those people could not stop the mighty King of Yan from pushing the south. They were too close to Zhu Yunwen, and they were afraid that the King of Yan would settle the score with him.
Zhu Song now realized that it was bad. He seemed to think too simple about standing in a team, and his identity could not always be neutral.
It seems that this matter has to be discussed for a long time.
Zhu Song thanked Zhu Yunwen as if he was a decent person, and for a moment, he was harmonious.
And at this moment, Zhu Yuanzhang said something that made Zhu Song very uncomfortable.
"You shouldn't ask if we ask for money or food. Just Kaiyuan's current atmosphere is like you are self-sufficient, but the food you should pay to the court must be as low as the money you should pay to the court!"
Zhu Song became anxious when he heard this.
"Father, this is not possible! The food and silver that the court should give you must give!"
"What are you giving?" Zhu Yuanzhang snorted coldly, "If you don't ask about your crime, just go and have a secret fun and lie to us! Do you know if you weren't our son, we'll kill you now!"
Zhu Song was really anxious, but he soon thought of a way to deal with it.
"Father, look at my son's experiments with grain crops from other countries, and it is also for the foundation of our Ming Dynasty, and he has no selfishness! If this solves the problem of our Ming Dynasty's full meal, it can be said that it is better than the Zhenguan rule of Emperor Taizong of Tang Dynasty.
And it’s even better!”
"Then you said that if the court did not support his son, even if the food was made out, will the historians record this contribution to the court?"
"Can you write this contribution on your father and grandson? No, they will definitely be realistic and write in the Records of the Grand Historian that it is the credit of your son alone. You don't want to see this happening then, right?
?”
When Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, he became anxious and took off his shoes and continued to implement the family law.
"You little brat's skin is itchy again, right?"
This is Zhu Song's way of dealing with it. Zhu Yuanzhang must be angry when he said this, but in fact, what can be decided is not Zhu Yuanzhang, but Zhu Yunwen.
Beyond the Zhenguan reign of Emperor Taizong of Tang, it is hard not to imagine any emperor like this, especially a crown prince like Zhu Yunwen.
Zhu Yunwen's eyes rolled and he advised Zhu Yuanzhang.
"The emperor's grandfather, grandson thinks what Uncle Twenty said is quite reasonable. No matter how rich Liaodong is now, it cannot compare to the power of our Ming Dynasty!"
"And we have many vassal kings in the Ming Dynasty. If other uncles also had such wonderful ideas, they could help me with the Ming Dynasty, but they lost the support of the court because they were too outstanding. I think those uncles might not do it for their own benefit.
I'm willing to implement it!"
After hearing this, Zhu Yuanzhang felt that what Zhu Yunwen said made sense, so he threw his shoes back to the ground and put them on.
"Then do you say this guy lied to us and it's over?"
Zhu Yunwen shook his head.
"There is no airtight wall in the world, so we can't go there. Whether it is for the emperor's grandfather or for the twenty-year-old uncle, we must give an explanation to all officials, an explanation to the people, and even let other vassal kings
Let’s see how grandpa reacts.”
"Let's do this, grandpa might as well issue an order to reprimand the twenty-year-old. Then within five to ten years, the court will not pay the salary to the twenty-year-old. It will not be too late for the court to re-issue it after the age period has passed!"
After hearing Zhu Yunwen's words, Zhu Song immediately became alert and he also thought Zhu Yunwen simple.
Yes, even Zhu Yunwen's ability, courage, and knowledge are not as good as the fourth brother, King Yan.
But he was still the crown prince of the Ming Dynasty, the son of his elder brother Zhu Biao, and the grandson of Emperor Hongwu. He still has this political mind and sense of smell.
In the fifth to ten years, Zhu Yuanzhang's body seems to be strong now, but he may not have lived for many years. Five to ten years is too long, and Zhu Yuanzhang will definitely die within these years.
In this way, whether the court will continue to distribute silver to the King of Han to Liaodong in the future is completely in the hands of Zhu Yunwen.
If you want the court to send money and food, you have to be honest and obedient.
Of course, it depends on how you are now, you can be self-sufficient, but what if he asks himself for money and food in the future?
He already knew that the fertile soil of Liaodong and the grain grown in all the good ones, Liaodong would inevitably become his granary.
He wanted to hold himself firmly and tie a rope around his neck.
This is absolutely not possible!
Zhu Song quickly said to Zhu Yuanzhang: "Father, I have one thing that is very important for my son to raise Liaodong over the years, that is, the court has not asked Liaodong for tax collection in recent years."
"The people don't have to pay taxes. This is to support the people. Now that they have raised them, they can start collecting taxes. But the court still needs to have support. There are always more and less in and out, but there are some differences, but the people are
We won't slow down all of a sudden."
"And you can also take a step back. If the father is really angry, he will punish him. He can do not have a salary within three years, but he also hopes that the court will not collect taxes from the people within these three years.
Chapter completed!
