Ming Dynasty: Abandoned baby at the beginning, Zhu let me be the emperor

"Grandpa Huang!"

Zhu Ming walked to the gate of Daming Palace and shouted loudly. While shouting, he took Ande and Liu Jin in.

"Meet the little grandson."

When the ministers on both sides saw Zhu Ming rushing in, they hurriedly bowed to him.

But he lowered his head and frowned slightly.

This little grandson of the emperor, relying on His Majesty's favor, is becoming more and more daring.

"My dear grandson, this is not the time to joke around. Go down first, go down first."

Even Zhu Yuanzhang felt helpless when he saw Zhu Ming walking in and interrupting his meeting, so he waved his hand and asked him to leave.

"Grandpa Emperor, the matter of going to sea has been resolved tomorrow."

Zhu Ming did not leave either. He just straightened his chest and continued to shout loudly.

"Oh?"

When Zhu Yuanzhang heard that Zhu Ming had resolved the issue of going to sea, his expression changed.

Even when he said that he would hand this matter over to Zhu Ming, he just wanted Zhu Ming to give it a try. He didn't expect that Zhu Ming could really do it?

He looked up at Ander who was following Zhu Ming. Wasn't this the foreigner he saw when he took Ming'er out last time?

"Okay, okay, you are worthy of being our son. Come here, dear grandson."

He no longer let Zhu Ming go down first, but waved at Zhu Ming instead.

This good grandson of mine might actually have the talent for politics, so I'll let him stay here and learn from him.

"Stay here and don't move."

Seeing that Zhu Yuanzhang had been persuaded, Zhu Ming whispered something to Liu Jin and Ande behind him, and then walked towards Zhu Yuanzhang.

Zhu Yuanzhang even hugged Zhu Ming in his arms and took him to look at the ministers.

The ministers had never expected that His Majesty would actually keep the little grandson here to watch their meetings.

Looking at the position of the East Palace, it is really unstable.

Zhu Yuanzhang hugged Zhu Ming like this until these ministers submitted their reports one by one, and then sent them back.

Because of Zhu Ming's presence, this was the most relaxing meeting they had ever had.

"My dear grandson, how is the matter you told me about going to sea?"

After all the ministers had left, Zhu Yuanzhang lowered his head and began to ask about Zhu Ming's voyage.

"He is the foreigner Ming'er met last time. It was because of him that Ming'er remembered that he could go out to sea to have a look."

Zhu Ming said this and waved to Ander, motioning him to come over.

"I have met the Emperor of Ming Dynasty."

Ander also walked over cautiously, knelt on one knee, placed his right hand on his chest, and saluted respectfully.

"Well, get up."

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Ande coldly, but did not blame him for his courtesy.

"He came to Ming Dynasty across the ocean, so he must have the ability to go to sea."

Zhu Ming also started speaking for Ander.

While Zhu Ming was speaking, Zhu Yuanzhang was also looking up and down at the foreigner Ande.

He had blond hair and blue eyes, and the clothing he wore in Ming Dynasty style looked a little strange. It was obvious that he didn't have much money, and his clothes were a little shabby, but still clean.

"Can you go to sea?"

Although Zhu Ming had introduced him, Zhu Yuanzhang still looked at him with some suspicion.

After all, Ming'er is still young, and his judgment of people may not be reliable.

"Yes, Your Majesty, I come from a distant country and I am very confident in sailing."

Ander calmed himself down. He knew that only by convincing the most powerful man in the Ming Dynasty could he achieve his goal.

"He said that he longed for the prosperity of the Ming Dynasty and wanted to make a name for himself in it."

Zhu Ming was also in Zhu Yuanzhang's arms, speaking good words for Ande.

"Look at the Tang emperors' subordinates tomorrow. There are also many foreign talents. My Ming Dynasty is no worse than the Tang Dynasty."

As Zhu Ming spoke, he did not forget to compare the Ming Dynasty with the Tang Dynasty, indirectly flattering Zhu Yuanzhang.

After all, the Tang Dynasty had a vast territory and strong military power, attracting many nations to pay tribute.

Of course, Zhu Yuanzhang also wanted to restore this glory.

"Okay, okay, then stay."

After hearing Zhu Ming's comparison with the Tang Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang laughed a few times and agreed to let Ande stay.

"But my dear grandson, we have the people going out to sea, but the silver is still..."

Although Zhu Yuanzhang agreed to let Ande stay, going out to sea was not something that could be decided with just one person.

Building treasure ships, sailors, and supplies all require silver.

The national treasury is really empty now and cannot take out this much silver.

"There will be a way tomorrow."

Zhu Ming looked at Zhu Yuanzhang, and he had also remembered the matter of the silver.

"What can we do tomorrow?"

Zhu Yuanzhang was surprised again when he heard Zhu Ming's answer.

The national treasury really has no money left. What can we do tomorrow?

"Grandpa Emperor still remembers those Japanese pirates, right?"

Zhu Ming raised his head and looked at Zhu Yuanzhang innocently.

Since the Ming Dynasty cannot come up with the money, just get it from somewhere else.

"Remember, but after lifting the maritime ban, it will take time to collect taxes and silver."

Zhu Yuanzhang's brows were still furrowed.

Even if the maritime ban is lifted and people are allowed to go fishing, there will still be a three-year tax exemption so that these fishermen have enough money to pay taxes.

"Grandpa Emperor, those Japanese plundered the coastal provinces of our Ming Dynasty and must have made a lot of money. I think we should attack Japan."

Zhu Ming shook his head, wondering how much silver the taxes collected were.

What he had to do was to take back all the silver that the Japanese pirates had stolen.

Although the Ming Dynasty imposed a maritime ban, it was not without the ability to engage in naval warfare.

The battle in which Zhu Yuanzhang founded the empire was a naval battle in Poyang Lake.

The Ming Dynasty also had an elite navy.

Zhu Ming's words shocked everyone else in the palace, even Zhu Yuanzhang showed a look of surprise.

To attack Japan, could a child have the courage to make such a decision?

"Grandpa Emperor, Japan has been receiving favors from China since the Tang Dynasty, and now it is plundering the Ming Dynasty. We have a legitimate reason to attack them."

Zhu Ming completely ignored the shocked expressions of these people and continued talking there incessantly.

"As long as we defeat Japan, not only will our country be stronger, but we can also ask them to compensate us for the cost of the Ming army's expedition. With the compensation, we will also have money to go to sea."

The current Japan is far from being a match for the Ming Dynasty.

Taking them down is really a good way to kill two birds with one stone.

"That's an idea."

Zhu Yuanzhang also nodded in approval. He was forced to implement the sea ban policy by these Japanese pirates. It was impossible for him to say that he did not hate these Japanese pirates.

Now that Zhu Ming said that, he was also tempted. He could vent his anger and get some money at the same time, so why not do it?

"In that case, then listen to my dear grandson and attack Japan."

He touched Zhu Ming's head. He didn't expect that Zhu Ming was really capable of handling the government affairs related to going out to sea.

I can only say that he is worthy of being his good grandson.
