NOVEL SIMPLE Chapter 19
Chapter 19 The News Came Back, The Stunned Lao Zhu (The First)
It is about 2,401 kilometers from Qiongzhou to Jinling. This is a straight-line distance. In fact, it is farther, about 3,000 kilometers. In the previous life, it took only a few hours to get there by plane.
But in this era, it is undoubtedly a lot slower. In the past, it took Zhu Bo several months to arrive at Qiongzhou.
Of course, as a Daming organization, especially during the Hongwu period, the speed was still much faster than Zhu Bo. .
News travels by water.
From Qiongzhou to Guangzhou Prefecture, then proceed along the coast of Guangzhou Prefecture, all the way to Jinling.
It takes only ten days to arrive.
Therefore, it was only on the eleventh day that Lao Zhu received the news reported by the Qiongzhou government.
The great meeting of the day has just ended.
Lao Zhu returned to his bedroom with a tired body.
But soon, a eunuch reported the news quickly.
“What, you said that the old twelve found it?”
Zhu Yuanzhang was looking at the memorials from all over the world, but at this moment he couldn’t help standing up.
“Yes, Your Majesty, Qiongzhou Mansion just reported that they found His Royal Highness King Qiong in the southern part of Qiongzhou Mansion.”
“This is the copy of Lord Wang of Qiongzhou Mansion and General Wang, please take a look at it!”
A eunuch spoke quickly and handed over the two copies in his hand.
“good very good!”
As soon as he took over the playbook, Lao Zhu seemed extremely excited at this time.
Zhu Bo disappeared for half a year, even Lao Zhu, in fact, was a little less hopeful in his heart.
After all, it was Qiongzhou, so it seemed normal if something happened.
He even regretted it for a long time.
I regret my impulse at the time.
But then regret is useless.
But now half a year later, his son unexpectedly had news, how could this not make him excited.
Ignoring it, the eunuch, Lao Zhu quickly opened the book and started reading.
“Your Majesty Wan’an, this minister is Wang Qiuhao, the prefect of Qiongzhou…!”
When the playbook was opened, the text gradually came into view. Wang Qiuhao and Wang Qiuhao clearly described all the details of what they had seen and heard, and even how they discovered Zhu Bo.
Even this is mixed with the description of Zhu Bo’s rule.
And seeing this, Lao Zhu couldn’t help being stunned.
Right, stunned.
Originally, he was just happy to find his son.
But the situation was not what he imagined.
Under the descriptions of Wang Qiuhao and Wang You, Zhu Bo was not simply found.
In the southern part of Qiongzhou Mansion, it gradually developed and formed a large rule.
Such a result, how can Lao Zhu not be stunned.
“This!”
With disbelief, Lao Zhu felt a little dazed at this moment.
If he hadn’t thought that those two dared not fool him, he would have suspected that the play was fake.
But precisely because those two were impossible, they didn’t dare to fool him.
Zhu Yuanzhang, at this time his heart was violently ups and downs, and shocked.
He didn’t expect that his son, who disappeared for half a year, would give him such a big surprise.
As if thinking of something, Lao Zhu opened another playbook again.
This is from Wang You, the commander of Hainan Guard.
And resisting this playbook was also opened, and Lao Zhu couldn’t help but fluctuate again.
“Fourth brother, Qiongzhou is indeed a desolate place for barbarians now, but what if I say that I can give me 10,000 taels of gold in one year and quell the troubles of Japanese pirates within three years?”
“The fourth brother knows how big the benefits of sea trade are. During the two Song Dynasties, half of the world was used to supply gold, and Xixia and Mongolia were still more than enough. The annual treasury revenue of the Song Dynasty was 70.7 million guan, and the highest was 160 million kan. Daming is no more than five million taels.”
……
In Lao Zhu’s mind, for some reason, he thought of Zhu Bo’s words that day.
Such words, before him, seemed like a fool’s dream.
Not to mention the annual income of 10,000 taels, even three years of pacifying Japanese pirates is impossible.
How troublesome the Japanese pirates are, as the Emperor of Ming Dynasty, Lao Zhu undoubtedly knows very well.
Those who had failed to compete with him at the beginning were now mostly fleeing overseas, colluding with barbarians to invade the sea from time to time, making Daming unbearable.
He also went to war.
But the sea is too vast to be completely eradicated.
So much so that he had to order a ban on the sea.
That child of my own actually said that he would pacify the Japanese pirates for three years.
Just a joke.
But now, in only half a year, looking at the description in the memorial, that son of his own has already ruled over 20,000 people, and he appears to be extremely prosperous.
Although only 20,000 people.
But how long.
Where is Qiongzhou?
Where birds don’t poop, they can do it.
Even if one year earns 10,000 taels, it is a big talk to flatten the Japanese in three years.
But it is enough to prove that his son’s ability is extraordinary.
Not to mention that according to the report of the Hainan Guard commander, his son seems to be quite capable of governing the army.
Thus.
Maybe what the other party said can really calm down the Japanese pirates.
Even if it wasn’t three years, ten years, or twenty years, Lao Zhu felt a sense of excitement at this time.
“good very good!”
“Hahaha, as expected of our son!”
After being stunned, Lao Zhu couldn’t help laughing and was born, and at this moment he showed a sincere smile.
As Zhu Bo thought, the courage of his father is no joke. Facing the report below, he did not feel threatened, but only felt joy.
Even because of joy, Lao Zhu repeatedly watched the two’s performances.
until a moment later.
His heart gradually calmed down.
Something seems to have come to mind.
He waved to the eunuch in front of him.
“Go down, and ask King Yan to come over!”
The words speak.
“Yes!”
The eunuch responded, and although he was full of doubts, he hurriedly retreated.
Quickly go to inform Zhu Di, King of Yan.
