Chapter 488: Grandson Never Let Us Down(2/2)
Let the eldest son do the logistics for him.
....
The next day.
Zhu Ying summoned Zhu Fan, Zhu Di, and Zhu Fan to his Kunning Palace.
"Uncle Three Emperors, Uncle Four Emperors, Uncle Seven Emperors."
Zhu Ying raised her hands and bowed.
The three of them also hurriedly returned the greeting: "Greetings to His Highness the Grand Sun."
Zhu Ying was also straightforward and went straight to the point: "This time I invite the three imperial uncles to come over, mainly to discuss the situation of the three cities of Japan."
Hearing such an opening, the first person to frown was Zhu Di.
Doesn’t what I said yesterday count?
Have you gathered us together today to change what you said yesterday?
When Zhu Ying said this, he paused briefly and then continued: "At present, the three Japanese cities are extremely important to the Ming Dynasty. If the three cities are stable, the coastal areas of the Ming Dynasty will no longer have to worry about Japanese pirates."
"So the three imperial uncles really shoulder heavy responsibilities."
"So after thinking about it last night, I thought that I could help the three emperors to develop rapidly within the scope of my ability."
After hearing this, the three of them immediately felt relieved.
After all, in a sense, it will be your own vassal country from now on, and you will have the final say in everything. It can be said to be an incomparable freedom.
Now Taisun wants to support him.
Zhu Ying continued; "First of all, there is the issue of food. In the maritime trade with the Japanese country, food is prohibited from being exported overseas. However, the development of the city cannot be separated from the people. The problem of food and clothing must be solved in the first place.
Quickly regain the hearts and minds of Japanese people in Japan."
"In terms of sea trade, a certain amount of food will be transported to the cities of the three emperor uncles every quarter depending on the situation."
"But let's talk first. Naturally, these grains cannot be given as gifts, but sold at equal prices in Ming Dynasty."
"Of course, if you don't have enough money, you emperor uncles can also buy grain first and return it next quarter."
This proposal was immediately approved by the three people, and Zhu Shu even said happily: "I think Taisun's plan will work."
Even Zhu Di was very satisfied. Japan's rice production was probably not enough, especially if he wanted to expand his army.
Now that I have Daming’s support, I feel much more at ease.
Zhu Ying was also unambiguous and continued to talk about some support for overseas vassals.
Such as trade.
The Qunying Chamber of Commerce will establish a stable maritime trade route, deliver goods to the three cities on a regular basis, and ensure that apart from the corresponding freight charges, the purchase price funded by the feudal king will not be higher than the market conditions of the Ming Dynasty.
But there will definitely be certain restrictions on the quantity of goods.
The second is support for craftsmen.
There are now many craftsman groups in the Qunying Chamber of Commerce, mainly in the form of commercial firms, which can build cement roads for the three cities, including some important buildings.
Including obtaining the consent of the three imperial uncles, opening various factories in the three cities of Japan, and hiring workers at corresponding prices to open the factories.
While Zhu Ying was telling the story, he asked the eunuch Guo Zhong, the eunuch Guo Zhong and the eunuch Bingbi, to take out the relevant documents that had been prepared for the three vassal kings to check in detail.
The various situations recorded above, including what Zhu Ying said before, are all above, extremely detailed and clear.
Its overall purpose is very simple, that is, the Ming Dynasty will give the three vassal kings the greatest support and develop the three cities at a high speed.
After Zhu Di read it, he felt a little emotional.
Is Taisun really so kind? Isn't he afraid that the vassal state will develop and pose a danger to the rule of the Ming Dynasty?
But no matter what, almost every item on the catalog is what they need most at the moment.
"The emperor's nephew knows in his heart that the emperor's uncles may have some other ideas."
"It's just that the emperor's nephew wants to tell you that the emperor's uncles are currently doing important things that involve the Ming Dynasty's foundation for thousands of years."
"There should not be any hostility between the imperial uncles' vassal states and the Ming Dynasty. They should help each other."
"Not only now, but also in the distant future, not only for the emperor's nephew, but also for the descendants of the old Zhu family in the future."
The tone of these words was not serious, but there was a feeling of blood boiling.
At this time, Zhu Di looked at Zhu Ying with piercing eyes.
In him, he did not see the shadow of his father, but he saw the past of his mother.
When the queen mother was still alive, she hoped that the descendants of Lao Zhu's family could be more united.
It was not until near dusk, nearly two hours, that the three vassal princes left Kunning Palace.
And Zhu Yuanzhang also came out from behind, patted Da Sun on the shoulder and said: "Okay, okay, okay."
