"Grandpa Huang!"
Zhu Ming walked to the door of Daming Palace and shouted loudly. While shouting, he walked in with Ande and Liu Jin.
"I've met the little emperor's grandson."
The ministers on both sides saw Zhu Ming barging in and quickly saluted Zhu Ming.
He just lowered his head but frowned slightly.
This little emperor's grandson, relying on His Majesty's favor, is becoming more and more bold.
"My dear grandson, now is not the time for joking. Go down first, go down first."
Even Zhu Yuanzhang felt helpless when he saw Zhu Ming swaggering in and interrupting his discussion, and quickly waved him away.
"Grandpa Huang, the matter of going to sea will be settled tomorrow."
Zhu Ming did not leave, he just straightened his chest and shouted loudly as before.
"oh?"
Zhu Yuanzhang's expression changed when he heard that Zhu Ming had settled the matter of going to sea.
Even when he said he would leave this matter to Zhu Ming, he just asked Zhu Ming to give it a try. Did he expect that Zhu Ming could really handle it?
He looked up at Ander who was following Zhu Ming. Isn't this the foreigner he saw when he took Ming'er out last time?
"Okay, okay, you are indeed our Lin'er. Come here, my dear grandson."
He no longer asked Zhu Ming to go down first, but waved to Zhu Ming.
My good grandson may actually have a talent for politics, so let him stay here so that he can learn.
"Stay here and don't move."
Zhu Mingjian persuaded Zhu Yuanzhang, whispered to Liu Jin and Ande behind him, and then walked towards Zhu Yuanzhang.
Zhu Yuanzhang even held Zhu Ming in his arms and took him to scan the officials.
All the ministers did not expect that the little emperor's grandson could really be kept here by His Majesty to watch their discussions.
Seeing the location of the East Palace, it was really unstable.
Zhu Yuanzhang hugged Zhu Ming like this until the ministers sent the reports one by one and sent them back.
Because of Zhu Ming's presence, this was the easiest meeting they had ever had.
"My dear grandson, what happened to the sea?"
After all the ministers had retreated, Zhu Yuanzhang lowered his head and began to ask about Zhu Ming's voyage.
"He is the foreigner that Ming'er met last time. It was him who only thought of going to the sea to have a look."
Zhu Ming said, waving to Ander and motioning for him to come over.
"I have met the emperor of Ming Dynasty."
Ander also walked over cautiously, knelt on one knee on the ground, put his right hand on his chest, and bowed respectfully.
"Well, get up."
Zhu Yuanzhang gave Ander a cold look and did not blame him for his courtesy.
"He traveled across the ocean and came to Ming Dynasty. He must have the ability to go to sea."
Zhu Ming also started to speak for Ander.
While Zhu Ming was speaking, Zhu Yuanzhang was also looking up and down at the foreigner Ander.
He was blond and blue-eyed, and it was a bit strange to wear Daming's clothes. It could be seen that he didn't have much money and was a bit run-down, but he was still clean.
"Can you go to sea?"
Despite Zhu Ming's introduction, Zhu Yuanzhang still looked at him with some suspicion.
After all, Ming'er is still young, and her eyesight on people may not be reliable.
"Yes, Your Majesty the Emperor, I come from a distant country and am very confident in my navigation."
Ande calmed down, knowing that he could only achieve his goal by convincing the most powerful person in the Ming Dynasty in front of him.
"He said that he longed for the prosperity of the Ming Dynasty and wanted to get ahead in the Ming Dynasty."
Zhu Ming was also in Zhu Yuanzhang's arms, helping Ande say good things.
"Tomorrow, I will see that the emperors of the Tang Dynasty will have many capable foreigners. I, the Ming Dynasty, will be no worse than the Tang Dynasty."
As Zhu Ming spoke, he did not forget to compare the Ming Dynasty with the Tang Dynasty, indirectly flattering Zhu Yuanzhang.
After all, the Tang Dynasty had a vast territory, a powerful military, and thousands of countries came to court.
Of course Zhu Yuanzhang also wanted to recreate this glory.
"Okay, okay, then stay."
After hearing Zhu Ming's comparison with the Tang Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang laughed a few times and agreed to let Ander stay.
"But dear grandson, I have a man who goes to sea, but the money is still..."
Although Zhu Yuanzhang agreed to let Ander stay, it was just that the sea trip could not be decided by just one person.
Building treasure ships, sailors, and supplies all require money.
Now the treasury is really empty and cannot come up with this money.
"There will be a way tomorrow."
Zhu Ming looked at Zhu Yuanzhang, and he had also remembered about the silver.
"What can I do tomorrow?"
Hearing Zhu Ming's answer, Zhu Yuanzhang was shocked again.
The treasury really can't get out any money. What can we do tomorrow?
"Grandpa Huang still remembers those Japanese pirates, right?"
Zhu Ming raised his head and looked at Zhu Yuanzhang innocently.
Since Ming Dynasty can't get the money, it can get it from other places.
"Remember, but after the maritime ban is lifted, it will not be a matter of time to collect tax money."
Zhu Yuanzhang's brows were still frowning.
Even if the sea ban is lifted and people go fishing in the sea, they will still be exempt from tax for three years before these fishermen can have money to pay taxes.
"Grandpa Huang, those Japanese people plundered our coastal provinces in the Ming Dynasty and must have made a lot of money. I want to attack the Japanese country."
Zhu Ming shook his head. The taxes collected were only a small amount of money.
What he wanted to do was to get back all the money that the Japanese pirates had stolen.
Although the Ming Dynasty imposed a sea ban, it was not without the ability to fight water battles.
The battle in which Zhu Yuanzhang established the world was the water battle at Poyang Lake.
The Ming Dynasty also had elite naval forces.
Zhu Ming's words shocked everyone else in the palace, and even Zhu Yuanzhang showed a surprised look.
Attacking Japan, how could a child have the courage to make such a decision?
"Grandpa Huang, the Japanese country has inherited China's blessings since the Tang Dynasty. Now it has plundered the Ming Dynasty and attacked them. It is also a famous example."
Zhu Ming completely ignored the shocked expressions of these people and continued to talk endlessly.
"As long as we defeat the Japanese country, it will not only strengthen our country's prestige, but also make them responsible for compensating my Ming army for setting off. With compensation, the money for going to sea will also be secured."
The current Japanese state is far from a match for the Ming Dynasty.
Taking them down is really a good way to achieve multiple goals with one stone.
"That's an idea."
Zhu Yuanzhang also nodded in approval. It was impossible to say that he did not hate these Japanese pirates because he was forced to implement the policy of banning sea traffic.
Now that Zhu Ming said it, he was tempted. He could vent his anger and get money at the same time, so why not do it.
"In this case, then listen to my good grandson and attack the Japanese country."
He touched Zhu Ming's head. He didn't expect that Zhu Ming was really capable of handling the government affairs of going to sea.
All I can say is that he is indeed his good grandson.
