Zhu Yuanzhang's voice echoed in Zhu Ying's ears.
What he said was to tell Zhu Ying that as an emperor, he did not have to be bound by the law. In his opinion, Wu Zhou's actions seemed to be upholding the so-called king's law, but in fact he was putting himself in front of the king. below the law.
What is King's Law?
Zhu Yuanzhang told Da Sun: What we say is the king's law!
"My grandson understands." Zhu Ying replied with a slight nod.
At this moment, he truly understood what the emperor's power was.
"The eldest grandson has now been declared the grandson. According to the usual practice, he will be the master of the East Palace. I don't know what the eldest grandson thinks."
Zhu Yuanzhang asked.
The concepts of announcement and canonization are similar, they are basically finalized.
Like the previous Zhu Yunwen, after Zhu Yuanzhang's announcement, he was already called His Highness Taisun, and there was only one canonization ceremony left.
The same is true for Zhu Ying now.
Nowadays, officials or other people can have three titles for Zhu Ying: His Highness Changsun, His Highness Taisun, and His Highness King Yu.
These titles are also particular.
For example, on the royal side, you can call him His Highness Changsun.
Officials should be addressed as His Highness Taisun.
Ordinary people can use the title of His Highness King Yu.
When Zhu Ying heard the news that it was from the East Palace, he pondered for a moment and then shook his head and said, "Grandpa, my grandson lives quite comfortably here in Kunning Palace. I have never been to Chunhe Palace."
"I heard from grandpa that my grandson also grew up in Kunning Palace when he was young, so he wanted to live here."
Zhu Yuanzhang nodded and said: "That's fine. This way our grandfather and grandson are close to each other. Since the eldest grandson likes it, we can just live like this."
...
Since the identity of Zhu Ying at Chaohui was announced.
In addition to causing a relatively big disturbance in the court, it seems that as far as the entire capital is concerned, there is no discount event that is so memorable.
The days in the palace did not seem to have any significant changes because of the addition of Zhu Ying.
For Zhu Ying, the biggest difference is that he has an extra seal in his hand.
This is the prince's seal, which can also be called the Taisun's seal, which means the prince.
The power of the prince's seal is basically given by the emperor. The more power it opens, the more power it will have.
Among all dynasties and generations, the prince's seal is not famous. Its symbolic meaning far exceeds its actual function, and it basically has no jurisdiction over anything.
But for Zhu Ying, this seal is almost equivalent to half the Ming emperor.
In other words, all official documents and approvals now stamped with Zhu Ying's prince's seal can take effect immediately.
Even civil and military officials below the third rank have the power to directly appoint and remove officials.
Putting aside the three ministers and three orphans, Zhu Ying, such as the six ministers and the left and right ministers, could not immediately appoint or remove them, but the others below had the power to directly decide.
Of course, if Zhu Yingzhen had taken away the minister or killed him, Zhu Yuanzhang would probably have reprimanded him at most. If there was a reason for the incident, even if there was only a small reason, then it would be nothing.
"Grandpa is going to directly add a burden to me."
Zhu Ying played with the seal and said helplessly.
He was already very clear about what the old man meant, which was for him to form his own small team now.
And formally announcing his identity in the court will help him get close to civil servants, or in other words, attract civil servants.
It is very difficult for officials to seek refuge with Taisun, and the most important one is connections.
Without connections, they were not even qualified to see the grandson. How could they have any chance to display their talents and be valued by the grandson.
It's just that Zhu Ying is not very interested in civil servants, especially in domestic affairs.
In terms of internal affairs, the biggest problem for Ming Dynasty at present is food, clothing and land.
Most domestic affairs basically revolve around these two.
Only when these two problems are significantly alleviated can we do something else.
Whether it's economy, education, culture, legal education, etc., talking about these things with a hungry old man named Bai is nonsense and has no meaning.
It was almost dinner time, and Ye Yueqing returned to Kunning Palace.
For Ye Yueqing, she is now roughly equivalent to the status of a female official, but Zhu Ying has never given him any actual official position.
Now when walking around the palace, he is still carrying his belt.
Although he has no official position, everyone with a discerning eye knows that no one dares to offend Ye Yueqing in the future.
"Your Highness, as of today at three o'clock in the morning, all the goods in the participating stores in the capital have been completely sold out, and there is no one left."
"And about half of the people in the capital city have not purchased it. Now many people are still gathering outside the store, complaining and dissatisfied."
"Almost everyone currently hopes that such an event can happen again."
Ye Yueqing said slowly.
After listening, Zhu Ying nodded slightly.
This was his test of Ming Dynasty's business.
He found that the business in the Ming Dynasty was very different from the business outside the Ming Dynasty.
Ming commerce is the main consumer group. In the middle and high-end areas, they are mainly landlords, nobles and other large households.
Like many landowners, they can almost achieve the concept of self-sufficiency.
What does it mean.
In other words, they don't like to spend the money they get, but dig a cellar in their home and hide it.
Because of natural disasters, almost all landowners have the habit of stockpiling grain.
The family has been storing a large amount of food and money.
Apart from some simple daily necessities, there is basically no desire to shop.
The essence of commodities lies in circulation.
Only when everyone uses their money can business prosper.
So what Zhu Ying has to do now is to stimulate the market economy.
In this regard, discounts are the best solution.
It is natural to be greedy for petty gains, so Zhu Ying was not surprised by the current situation.
"Next, we can buy products from all over the Ming Dynasty and sell them. The positioning is still as I said before, and the target must be clear."
"Now that the capital has achieved success, the same strategy can definitely be used in other places."
"Especially in the Su and Song areas, you can do it more times."
Speaking of this, Zhu Ying sighed.
Money is really needed everywhere.
Although he can directly ask the old man to get it, or even directly ask the treasure banknote collection department to print a large number of treasure banknotes.
But this is undoubtedly killing the goose that takes the egg, and will only make the Ming Dynasty's banknotes depreciate faster.
What Zhu Ying is doing now is, in a sense, repurchasing treasure notes.
At the same time, Zhu Yuanzhang had already issued an edict to the Baochao Promotion Department and began to restrict the printing of Baochao Promotion Department.
When the treasure banknotes on the market begin to become scarce, the value of the treasure banknotes can be increased and there will be no flooding.
It's kind of funny to say that.
When Zhu Ying received these treasure notes, he immediately destroyed them instead of storing them.
Of course, only the profit part is destroyed.
This is equivalent to wiping the old man's butt.
Just when Zhu Yingda was engaged in business activities.
Goryeo Yao Guangxiao's side has begun preparations to enter Tsushima Island.
"National Master, it has only been more than a month now. Didn't it mean that we will officially attack Tsushima in two months? Why is it suddenly brought forward? Brothers are not ready yet."
Wei Guang couldn't help but ask.
At the meeting just now, Yao Guangxiao proposed that 80,000 troops would be dispatched as a vanguard force to march directly to Tsushima in three days.
Of course, the reason why there are 80,000 troops is because all the current ships combined can only carry 80,000 people.
The reason why Wei Guang raised the question was because a lot of food was still on the road and was being continuously collected into the army.
Seeing that the logistics support was gradually stabilized, the national division decided to go to war directly.
"Soldiers are deceitful. You can't just live two months when the poor monk said it will last two months."
"Now the poor monk has received the news that a large number of Japanese pirates are gathering towards Tsushima Island. At this time, the opponent's military camp is naturally in chaos."
"And attacking Tsushima at this time can have the effect of encircling the point and calling for reinforcements even when the offensive is unfavorable."
Yao Guangxiao explained slowly.
Hearing this, Wei Guang wanted to speak, but after looking at the other generals around him, he remained silent.
In terms of words, there is absolutely no problem with Yao Guangxiao's statement.
However, in reality, there are big differences.
The first is the food supply for the 80,000-strong army. According to the current intentions of the Imperial Guard, there is no plan to replenish the ships transporting food.
This means that the army can only carry about ten days of rations at most, so it has to fight Tsushima, and it can only be a quick battle.
If it is delayed, it may collapse on its own before the enemy can attack.
Secondly, although there are many armies now, most of the soldiers are actually landlubbers.
Let’s put seasickness aside, most people are not accustomed to water.
Recently, all generals have been asking their soldiers to conduct maritime combat training in order to adapt to this combat situation in advance.
The limited number of ships means that the maritime training of 70% of the soldiers has not yet achieved results and they have to catch up.
This made Wei Guang a little worried.
Although the other Goryeo generals did not speak, many of them were a little dissatisfied.
It felt like a monk like Yao Guangxiao was a little unconvinced when he gave them military command.
Yao Guangxiao looked at this scene and said indifferently: "According to the information from Sezuo, there are only about 5,000 households in Tsushima Island. This time, there are only more than 20,000 people stationed in the Japanese country."
"I'm waiting for 80,000 people to fight against 20,000 people. This is a battle with no suspense. Perhaps in many aspects, the time is not ripe for the generals to raise their swords."
"But everyone should know that Japanese pirates are constantly gathering now. If we wait too long, we will be harassed by Japanese pirates on a larger scale."
"Japanese pirates who are good at naval warfare may cause more losses."
After hearing the explanation from the National Preceptor, many generals looked at each other and felt that it made sense.
Finally, he agreed, and after the meeting dispersed, he immediately began to mobilize the army and prepare for the attack.
Wei Guang did not leave at the end.
After everyone had left, he smiled bitterly and said to Yao Guangxiao: "Master, is this too cruel?"
Wei Guang has completely understood Yao Guangxiao's thoughts.
Yao Guangxiao did not treat the Korean soldiers as human beings at all, and did not even care about the casualties caused and fought forcefully.
You must know that among the current number of nearly eighteen armies, not even half of them are capable of fighting.
The others are basically field soldiers, and their weapons and armaments are very backward.
Especially in a sea battle, it was obvious that Yao Guangxiao was going to risk his life.
"General Wei misunderstood. The poor monk is a monk, so naturally he will not take such measures as to waste his life. But for now, we can no longer give the Japanese side too much preparation time."
"General Wei should also have heard about the current situation in the Japanese country. It is equivalent to the situation at the beginning of the founding of the Ming Dynasty, which was waiting to be abolished."
"At this juncture, the sooner we set off, the faster we can drag the Japanese country into the quagmire of war."
"Under such circumstances, when our army of the Ming Dynasty marches into Japan after the spring of next year, the resistance it will encounter will be greatly reduced."
Yao Guangxiao's words echoed in Wei Guang's ears.
After Wei Guang heard this, he no longer had the intention to refute.
When it comes to the Ming Dynasty, no matter what price Goryeo pays, it is worth it.
The reason why Wei Guang had such an idea was because he had gradually integrated into the life of Goryeo during the years he had lived in Goryeo.
In terms of appearance, there is no difference between the people of Goryeo and the people of Ming Dynasty.
That's why Wei Guang said such words.
Looking at Wei Guang's leaving figure, Yao Guangxiao couldn't help but say: "Obviously he is a general who has accomplished countless feats, but he still has a heart like a Bodhisattva. It's a bit interesting."
"Among the soldiers of His Highness Changsun and other members, they all seem to have similar thoughts to Wei Guang."
"Is this because of the influence of His Highness Changsun?"
Yao Guangxiao frowned slightly.
Such details are difficult for ordinary people to spot, but to Yao Guangxiao, who is good at studying people's hearts, they are like candlelight in the dark, very eye-catching.
Especially for all the core members who follow His Highness Changsun, this characteristic is even more obvious.
It is a habit for the army to kill innocent people indiscriminately and seize food.
But including the generals headed by Wei Guang, they can be said to be truly benevolent and righteous teachers towards the people.
"Perhaps, only His Highness, the eldest grandson, is worthy of everyone's following."
"It's just that His Highness Changsun's subordinates can't all be like this. There are always some dirty things that need someone to do."
"The poor monk doesn't care about this!"
Yao Guangxiao couldn't help but sigh.
From the beginning, Yao Guangxiao was also preparing to consume a large amount of Goryeo's troops while conquering Japan.
Only under such circumstances will it become much easier to turn Goryeo into a part of the Ming Dynasty.
He needs to be the result. As for the process, it doesn't matter anymore.
Three days later,
Along the coast, hundreds of large and small ships set off carrying a mighty 80,000-strong army.
Among this group of personnel, 99% were Goryeo generals and soldiers.
Wei Guang and others were not among them.
