Daming: Refining zombies at the beginning, Lao Zhu was shocked

As soon as Zhu Yue and Zhu Biao returned to the palace, Zhu Yuanzhang came directly to find them.

"Where have you two brothers gone?"

Zhu Yuanzhang asked curiously.

"I went to the Royal Guard Academy to find Lan Yu and the others and finalized the matter of the flintlock gun!"

Zhu Li explained with a smile.

"How long will it take to equip the navy?"

If he had to talk about this matter, Zhu Yuanzhang immediately became energetic!

He was still thinking about letting the Ming Dynasty Navy defeat Japan as soon as possible!

Firearms and equipment are naturally the most important part and must be prepared in advance!

"It will take about half a year at the fastest. It can only equip 100,000 people, but it is enough!"

"Within one year, the entire Ming Dynasty navy can be equipped with flintlock guns!"

Zhu Yue directly gave a time.

The weapons in Japan are mainly cold weapons. Although there are also firearms, they are not many at all!

In terms of the quantity of equipment, Ming Dynasty is crushing them.

Use ordinary cold weapons to fight flintlock guns?

That's a joke!

Even if you Japanese people are not afraid of death, you will still die as many as you come!

It can be said that the countdown to conquering Japan has entered. Within two years, Japan will definitely be completely turned into a province of the Ming Dynasty!

"Okay! Okay!"

"We finally have hope!"

"By the way, there's something I'm ready to hear your thoughts on!"

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded with great satisfaction, and then said with a change of subject.

"what's up?"

Zhu Li asked curiously.

"It's about building the Great Wall!"

"We were thinking, should we stop the construction of the Great Wall first?"

Zhu Yuanzhang directly talked about building the Great Wall.

The main reason is that Zhu Yuanzhang wanted to use all the human and financial resources used to build the Great Wall on the development of firearms in the Ming Dynasty!

Even if we can build more flintlock muskets, more naval guns and more ships!

"No, the construction of the Great Wall cannot be stopped. Even if it means appropriately reducing some investment and slowing down the progress, let's forget about the suspension!"

Upon hearing this, Zhu Li immediately shook his head and rejected the proposal.

"why?"

"With the current situation in Mobei, the role of the Great Wall will not be reflected for at least nearly a hundred years!"

"The Oara and Tatars simply don't have the guts to go south now!"

Zhu Yuanzhang was stunned again when he heard this.

This is also the reason why he wants to stop the construction of the Great Wall first. In his opinion, it is a bit thankless to still be building the Great Wall in a hurry!

The main reason is that he has confidence in Daming!

In other words, they have confidence in Zhu Li and his son!

With their father and son here, wouldn't that be worth the effect of the ten Great Walls?

"That's right. Even if Feng'er wants to seal off Mobei in the future, even if Mobei is unified, the existence of the Great Wall is still very necessary!"

"Even if the Ming Dynasty is divided in the end, the Great Wall can still serve as a barrier to the north of the Eastern Ming Dynasty!"

"Besides, the Great Wall is more of a spirit and a belief!"

"For future generations, the Great Wall is definitely a valuable asset!"

"For example, in Zhu Zhiqin's era, commercial buildings were actually of little use and were even dispensable. But do you think they dare to demolish them?"

"Not only were they not demolished, they were also properly protected. The first few commercial buildings built have become some of the world's most cultural treasures!"

"The things left by our ancestors are all good things after all!"

"There are some things we can do without, but we absolutely cannot live without them!"

"The same goes for the Great Wall!"

Zhu Yue explained it seriously!

"Dad, we also think Lao Jiu is right. The Great Wall still needs to be repaired. Although it is not urgent now, it must not be abandoned!"

"Even in the modern society of later generations, specialized talents will still be organized to repair the Great Wall. This has nothing to do with its actual function!"

Zhu Biao also nodded with deep understanding and said.

"Well, that seems to be the case!"

"In this case, as you said, the Great Wall must continue to be built. We will still allocate a fixed amount of silver every year, but the number of workers can be controlled at around 50,000. It doesn't need that many, right?"

Zhu Yuanzhang finally agreed with Zhu Yue's statement, and at the same time reduced the manpower and financial resources needed to build the Great Wall!

At this moment, Zhu Li's expression suddenly became strange, and he couldn't help but look toward the northeast!

"What's wrong, Lao Jiu?"

Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Biao both noticed Zhu Yue's strange expression and asked in surprise.

"That Niubi Qingxu used a transmission talisman to send me a message, saying that the King of North Korea, Li Chenggui, is dead!"

Zhu Li then opened his mouth to explain.

"Huh? Li Chenggui is dead?"

"How did you die?"

When Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, he was even more shocked!

"You'll die from taking drugs!"

There was a smile on Zhu Li's face.

Who doesn’t want to live forever?

Previously, the Ming Dynasty deliberately released news that Zhu Yue, the king of Han Dynasty, could refine some elixir, and even the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang, was taking it!

Li Chenggui was also very itchy. You must know that Zhu Yuanzhang is now seventy years old and still as lively as ever. This gives him a lot of ideas!

So he found Taoist Master Qingxu and asked about the elixir. This was tantamount to taking the bait!

Qingxu prepared some pills and asked Li Chenggui to take them on time. In fact, it was equivalent to taking a certain amount of poison over many years. After accumulating to a certain level, he would die from the poison!

To put it simply, Li Chenggui took the initiative to seek chronic suicide!

I have to say that this Qingxu also has some tricks!

Hearing such an answer, Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Biao couldn't help but look at each other!

Throughout the dynasties, there were many emperors who died due to overdose of elixirs. The most famous one was definitely the First Emperor Ying Zheng!

Emperor Taizong Li Shimin of the Tang Dynasty also fell in love with so-called elixirs in his later years!

It can only be said that these warlocks and golden elixirs are doing great harm to people!

Of course, this does not mean that there are no truly life-saving elixirs in this world. At least these elixirs refined by Zhu Yue are definitely real elixirs!

But even if the longevity pill is so incredible, it can only extend a person's life for ten years!

You want to live forever, are you kidding me?

"So what's the current situation in North Korea?"

What Zhu Yuanzhang is most concerned about is whether after Li Chenggui's death, he can control the situation in North Korea with the master and apprentice of Taoist Master Qingxu!

"Don't worry, Li Chenggui's princes are now under Qingxu's control!"

"Don't you want to take over North Korea? Now is the most suitable time!"
