Chapter 545 Zhu Di is also short of money

Zhu Di was at Chengtian Gate in the morning and reviewed infantry, artillery, and cavalry... In the afternoon, he came to the river in person, and Liu Chun arranged a huge warship dragon boat for him.

When Zhu Di saw the boat, he felt dizzy. He felt that Liu Chun was deliberately messing with him. Fortunately, this was the Yangtze River, and today it was calm and he finally didn't make a fool of himself.

When he stood at the bow of the boat, the feeling was indeed different. The wind blew on his face, thousands of sails competed, and tall warships sailed past him. This feeling was so wonderful.

The Navy and the Lu family are completely different. The Army is at most one man and one horse. It’s amazing that one cannon and one dozen horses. After all, it’s just a carriage, it’s still acceptable.

But the situation was different when the navy arrived. The Ming Dynasty could build a large ship of ten thousand stones very early. The huge sea ship was like a mountain. The shock brought by the past from the front was simply indescribable.

This is the emperor's atmosphere, one word, it's cool!

Zhu Di was overjoyed and a flower bloomed on his face.

If this is over, it is obviously not in line with Liu Chun's style.

He set up a target in Jiangbei, then passed the reviewed ship, removed the baffle, and exposed the black holes of the muzzle. He aimed at the target.

This is live firing!

Zhu Gaochi was shocked, "Master, you're having a big time playing. What if you miss the game?"

Zhu Gaoxu snorted: "If they dare, if they don't hit, they will cut off these wastes. Let's see if they can hit them!"

At this time, Zhu Gaosui came over, "In fact, it's not that trouble. Just tie the gunpowder bag behind the target, watch the shells come, and ignite them one by one..."

"Shut up!"

Zhu Gaoxu was so angry that he wanted to strangle the third child to death, "Do you know, this is leaking the secret!"

Zhu Gaosui was really stupid. He scratched his head and said, "That's what I said, Master, are you really doing this?"

Liu Chun snorted coldly: "I can't help but be fooled by soldiers. I can't help but support the scene for your father. I've spent too much money. If I don't blackmail, how can I fill the gap?"

These three brothers are speechless. If one day they become bad, they must be taught by their master. It would be strange if they can learn well with such a master.

The target with added materials, especially across the river, across the Yangtze River, these people could only see the projectiles shot out of the ship, drew an arc, and some fell into the river, stirring up water columns, and some fell to the opposite side.

Once it falls across the river, the sound of booming sound is like thunder!

The fireworks soared into the sky, and all the people watching the ceremony in Jiangnan were frightened. Especially those civil officials, they despised the martial artists in the past, thinking that fighting was just about killing with swords and guns, and there was nothing great about it. The martial artists were just a bunch of obedient fools!

But when firearms appear, especially when cannons are released, the situation changes... Managing warships and using cannons requires very powerful qualities, especially the exaggerated hit level like the Ming Navy, which is even more jaw-dropping.

Among the countries present, Japan and Annan did not prepare firearms on a large scale. They were left with infinite fear of this power to destroy the world, especially the one from Japan, who had to work hard to stand up straight in order to overcome the urge to kneel down. This is the power of the gods!

However, Halie, as a descendant of Mongolia, had seen artillery, and even their army was equipped with a large number of artillery.

But in their impression, artillery was heavy and clumsy, and only used to attack cities.

This is the first time I have seen the Ming army like this, which can be pulled by horses and loaded with ships. And it is obvious that the Ming army's shells are different from them. Not only is it powerful, but they are also accurate and scary!

Back then, the Mongols learned to make firearms after occupying the Han area.

Looking at the level of the Ming Dynasty, it is many times better than Halie.

These envoys became more and more worried. His khan was obsessed with the eastern expedition of the Ming Dynasty. But with the strength of the Ming Dynasty, do they really have a chance of winning?

These guys were anxious and looked very ugly.

But Zhu Di was satisfied. When he got off the dragon boat and stood in front of everyone again, he said loudly: "My Ming army is invincible in the world. Not only are the infantry and cavalry brave and good at fighting, but the navy is also extraordinary. Thousands of giant ships and hundreds of thousands of artillery artillery, wherever the Ming Navy goes, there is a sea of ​​fire, and the earth is broken and the mountain collapses! Any force that dares to compete with the Ming Dynasty will be punished to destroy the world!"

"I can treat foreign vassals very kindly, or I can be thunderous and destroy countless countries! You need to think clearly about what attitude to serve the Ming Dynasty!"

Zhu Di was loud and powerful, and returned to the palace amidst the cheers of long live the joys.

Zhu Gaochi and Zhu Gaoxu looked at each other and they figured it out clearly. Liu Chun and Zhu Di were really a perfect match, and they cooperated too well. Now, if the entire Ming army included old-fashioned artillery, there were a lot of them, but if it was only the latest one, and it could be pulled out to fight, it would probably be less than a thousand gates, and it would have to be allocated to both the water and the land.

The two artillery warships that just pulled out will never be gone, and there will not be more than five.

But Zhu Di opened his mouth and saw thousands of giant ships and hundreds of thousands of artillery artillery.

Dad!

Do you know how much copper is needed for a hundred thousand cannons and how many artillery soldiers are needed?

Is it said that if you want to become a superior, the first compulsory homework is actually a fool?

It’s rare that the two brothers have reached a consensus and we still need to experience it!

Liu Chun followed the ministers back to the city, and he went directly to the palace.

The three halls in front were destroyed, and Zhu Di chose to work in Wuying Hall. He couldn't wait to call Liu Chun over and said happily: "Okay, you arranged it well! It really increased your majesty and morale. Especially when I saw those dead soldiers, I couldn't help it. They are all brothers and sisters of Zhu Di, and it's not easy to be born and die. We must take good care of their families, and use whatever they lack from the treasury!"

After Zhu Di finished speaking, he paused and suddenly said, "The treasury? How much money does the treasury still have? Do you know?"

Liu Chun is going crazy, "Your Majesty, that's your money, how could I know?"

Zhu Di said with a straight face: "When will I get rich? Last time I returned to Peiping, the queen took all her dowry, but she still hid it, thinking I didn't know!"

Liu Chun was quite surprised, "Prince, do you know?"

"Nonsense!" Zhu Di snorted: "I'm not a heartless person, can't I know? I didn't say it out loud, but I just don't have money in my hands, so I can't make up for it. Now that I have ascended the throne and become emperor, I want ten times, no, a hundred times compensation! You can find a way to help me get the money!"

The more Liu Chun looked at Zhu Di, the more he looked like his father Zhu Yuanzhang. He was as greedy as money and unreasonable as he was!

"Your Majesty, I am not a boy from Shancai. I don't have the ability to turn stones into gold immediately. I have just trapped the overseas vassal states and are preparing to squeeze oil from them. But now the court is too expensive, and the oil and water that are squeezed must be filled in the treasury deficit first. If I send it to the treasury first, those ministers will cause trouble."

Liu Chun leaned over and whispered: "Your Majesty, I want to remind you that Yao Guangxiao, the hairless man, has said in private that he wants to learn from Wei Zheng and make His Majesty respect everyone like Emperor Taizong of Tang."

Zhu Di's old face looked ugly in an instant. Zhu Di was still happy to compare him to Emperor Taizong of Tang, but the problem was that I wanted to be Emperor Taizong of Tang, but I didn't want Wei Zheng!

Especially Yao Guangxiao is in charge of the subject. This old bald donkey is full of bad water. If he wants to make trouble, it will be a headache.

"Liu Chun, do you think I used the wrong person? How about you becoming the leader of Kedao and asking Yao Guangxiao to teach the prince specifically?"

Liu Chun's head is big.

Liu Chun didn't have this hobby when he asked him to deal with the censor.

And, as we all know, under the command of Emperor Hongwu, he was striving to survive. When he arrived in the Yongle Dynasty, Liu Chun had already made great efforts. Now he just wanted to deal with the difficult things in front of him and then be a salted fish with comfort and comfort.

If he wants to manage, he is also in charge of major affairs of the court. Liu Chun has no interest in some trivial matters.

"That... Your Majesty, let's discuss how to enrich the treasury!"

A trace of joy flashed deep in Zhu Di's eyes.

He had already seen that this kid Liu Chun was just holding on and retracing, and not kicking him, so he would not be able to do anything!

This is how my father dealt with him. When he came to himself, he had to carry forward it.

Liu Chun lowered his head and thought about how to make money, so there is no need to be criticized. It must be fast and more... It is really bad enough!

Zhu Di was not in a hurry, so he waited patiently. He took off his dragon robe, changed into a fat Taoist robe, and held a purple clay pot in his hand.

People use purple clay pot to make tea, but Zhu Di doesn't do that. He soaked red dates and wolfberry in his pot. Take a sip. It was sweet and steaming all over, and it was comfortable!

Liu Chun only commented on Zhu Di's behavior, and it makes sense that one nobleman was born in three generations!

Although he is the emperor, Lao Zhu is full of mud. When he arrives at Zhu Di, his hands may be clean, but his feet are still in the mud and cannot be elegant.

Only wait until the third generation... wait!

Liu Chun shook his head again, and he was worried when he thought of the three pigs.

It seems that the Zhu family wants elegance and hope is placed on Zhu Zhanji.

But then again, it seems that few of the elegant and talented people can be good emperors. It’s really ironic!

Liu Chun's thoughts were flying, but he had not found a way out.

Suddenly someone came to report that it was Lord Liu who asked for a meeting!

Another Lord Liu!

Who is it?

Zhu Di hurriedly invited him in. It was not someone else's arrival, but Liu San, the governor of Peking appointed by Zhu Di!

"I pay homage to your Majesty!"

Zhu Di quickly stood up, helped Liu San up in person, and smiled and said, "Liu Qing, come all the way with you, thank you all the hard way."

Liu San hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, I have nothing to do, I... I am just worried!"

"Worried? What's the matter?"

Liu San grinned bitterly, "It's all my rebellious sons, this kid is causing trouble!"

Zhu Di laughed, "He? If he doesn't cause trouble, will he still be called Liu Chun? Just don't worry, I, Zhu Di, won't care."

Liu San gathered up his courage and whispered: "Your Majesty, the house in Peking... has been reduced!"
