Chapter 362 Zhu Yuanzhang: How to reward Ye Xuan?
The eunuch had a stern look on his face, lowered his head, and answered nervously.
"I'm telling you, Your Majesty, Ye Xuan was extremely drunk, but his family members said that Lord Ye wrote a letter after he went back, and said that if the prince came to see him, he would give the letter to the prince.
As he said that, he glanced at Zhu Biao, as if he was worried about something.
"This slave took it upon himself to take the fold back. I hope His Highness will not blame you!"
Zhu Biao didn't smile when he heard this.
"It doesn't matter. I don't have any secrets in front of my father. Besides, Ye Xuan and I are just in a normal relationship, so there is nothing worth betraying.'
Zhu Yuanzhang was very satisfied with this statement.
He nodded and took the folded book. After unfolding it, his expression became a little strange.
Zhu Biao saw this and was worried. He thought Ye Xuan said something bad, which caused Zhu Yuanzhang to react strangely.
After a while, Zhu Yuanzhang put down the zhezi and said with a wry smile: "This guy is a wonderful person. He knew that you would not be able to hide it from us, so he prepared the zhezi in advance.
"Why is he drunk? From what I can tell, it's obvious that he doesn't want to see us. He's afraid that the two of you will be embarrassed by each other if you meet."
Zhu Yuanzhang's analysis is naturally true.
After being reminded like this, Zhu Biao also realized that there was indeed something fishy here.
Not to mention that Ye Xuan didn't drink much wine at all in front of him. If Ye Xuan was really drunk in such a short time after returning home, how could he write down the notes?
But for Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Biao, these are not the focus after all.
Before Zhu Biao could clear his mind, Zhu Yuanzhang had already handed the fold to him.
"Ye Xuan's idea is good, you can try it."
"It's just about currency. It is said that some small countries are taking Ming Dynasty's money back and casting it into their own coins. If we make this request, they will not refuse it."
What Zhu Yuanzhang was talking about was actually Annan and nearby areas. They habitually took the coins of the Central Plains Dynasty and re-cast them, so that they could offset their own shortage of minerals.
Even in some areas near the border, they directly used the currency of the Central Plains Dynasty.
Zhu Biao frowned and asked hesitantly: "Father, if we let them use our currency to trade, it doesn't seem to be of much benefit to us. After all, it would be a big deal to increase the production of currency. Expenditure々|.
"Although this will promote trade, in the final analysis, it doesn't seem to have much benefit at the moment!"
Zhu Biao's reaction actually echoed the thinking of most people in the Ming Dynasty.
Among Ye Xuan's suggestions, he hoped that the imperial court would directly require the other party to use Ming currency as the circulating currency in future international trade during negotiations.
This is a method used by some organizations and countries in later generations to expand their influence, but for the Ming Dynasty, the influence brought by this method did not receive enough attention.
But in fact, Ye Xuan's method is not limited to influence.
In Ye Xuan's vision, once Ming's currency enters the other country, the high quality of Ming's currency will quickly destroy the other country's original currency system.
To be precise, Ye Xuan's purpose is not only to influence, but also to control the other party's economy.
Once a country loses its economic and military independence, its politics will become a castle in the air. Isn't it just at the mercy of others?
It's just that these things are still a little far away for Ming Dynasty, and many people are unable to understand the profound meaning here.
Fortunately, Zhu Yuanzhang was a king with clear thinking and broad vision.
Although he still had doubts, he also knew that Ye Xuan was not innocent.
He waved his hand and said to Zhu Biao: "We will know the details by then. Ye Xuan will not give us meaningless suggestions. But now there is still a question, who should be sent to contact the countries? This is That’s the point!”
It's not that Zhu Yuanzhang is making a fuss, but that there are too few outstanding diplomats in this era.
Most of the officials were either military generals and did not understand literary skills, or they were weak scholars and lacked dignity.
Once these people go on a mission on behalf of the Ming Dynasty, if they are not careful, the dignity of the Ming Dynasty may be affected.
As for those who were sure, they either held high positions or had other important positions. Zhu Yuanzhang really couldn't think of a suitable person for a while.
After a brief silence, Zhu Yuanzhang gave instructions to the eunuch on the side.
"Call Ren Ang, we have important matters to discuss with him!"
After saying that, Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Zhu Biao and continued to ask: "How long do you think it will take to get benefits if you implement this method?"
The reason why I asked Zhu Biao was obviously for comparison.
Although Zhu Biao was a little nervous, he expressed his estimate.
After listening to Zhu Biao's words, Zhu Yuanzhang nodded slightly and his expression softened slightly.
The previous wars allowed Ming Dynasty to accumulate a lot of wealth, but they also laid hidden dangers.
In the coming period, the most important thing to do is to digest these problems.
During this period, the profit from the alliance just made up for the loss of wealth, which could be described as killing two birds with one stone.
The father and son discussed Ye Xuan's details carefully for a while, and Ren Ang finally arrived.
Seeing that Zhu Yuanzhang did not call him on a formal occasion, Ren Ang felt anxious and thought something big had happened.
Fortunately, Zhu Yuanzhang was very concise. After seeing Ren Ang, he immediately stated his intentions.
"."You select some suitable people from the Ministry of Rites for us to send as envoys to the surrounding countries, and tell their kings that we are going to convene the countries to discuss matters, and let them send the people who can make the decision to me!"
Zhu Yuanzhang's words made Ren Ang a little surprised.
But facing Zhu Yuanzhang, Ren Ang dared to object and could only agree in a low voice.
After Zhu Yuanzhang sent Ren Ang away, the expression on his face became a little complicated again.
Zhu Biao saw this and asked tentatively: "Father, what else is on your mind?"
Zhu Yuanzhang smiled and said: "It's not really about my heart, but I feel that Xuan is indispensable for Ming Dynasty's prosperity today.
Zhu Biao nodded and was about to agree, but Zhu Yuanzhang (who got the money) said what he said later, but Zhu Biao didn't know how to answer.
"Let me be honest with you, seeing that Ye Xuan's contributions are getting bigger and bigger, we don't know what to grant him. Sometimes we even think, if he didn't marry a wife, it would be great if we could give him a princess. He will be our consort."
Zhu Yuanzhang's face was full of regret, which was obviously not a joke.
But this made Zhu Biao start to feel embarrassed, how to face Ye Xuanwei.
As Zhu Yuanzhang said, today's Ming Dynasty has changed the world, and all the credit can be attributed to Ye Xuan.
Such heroes are not inferior to the founding fathers.
But what Daming gave Ye Xuan was really not worth mentioning.
Although Ye Xuan doesn't mind, if word spreads in the future, how will others view Ming Dynasty?
Moreover, if Zhu Yuanzhang succeeds to the throne a hundred years later, how should he reward Ye Xuan?
After all, he is still young and has too much time in the future. I wonder how many achievements he will make. .
