Chapter 107: Come and get close to you now? What have you done long ago!
Simple topographic map?
When Zhu Biao heard Chu Ze's words, he couldn't help but widen his eyes, and then slowly turned his head to look at Chu Ze who was beside him.
"You are not simple, right?"
".Big, this is a bit insulting!"
"You get it, you're not very good at painting. If we hadn't seen you draw it one by one, we would have thought you had drawn a bug on the paper..."
Listening to the father and son singing together, Chu Ze also knew that he could not fight.
But this doesn't affect anything.
After all, at the moment, they were not trying to argue.
"Let's talk about the key points first. What I'm drawing is a rough shape of the entire Japan. Don't say that I'm drawing like a bug, it's mainly because their terrain is like a bug."
"Then I remember it was at the waist, and there was a large silver mine here."
"There is roughly another location. I remember that according to later records, these two silver mines are underground ore veins, and the annual output is about tens of tons. Tons are the weight unit we later generations call this, and one ton is about one hundred and eleven stones."
"The silver mines in the entire Japanese territory can basically reach an annual output of more than 200 tons in their hands."
"I can only remember the approximate location and approximate output. I guess it's time to check it out."
Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Biao, who were originally struggling with Chu Ze's painter, heard Chu Ze tell the terrifying silver output.
Whether it was Zhu Yuanzhang, who had known that Japan had a lot of silver, or Zhu Biao, who had just heard of a little soul, his breathing became a little disordered at this time.
Especially Zhu Yuanzhang, his eyes seemed to be starting to glow green at this time.
"It's almost a little bit, it's just a little bit short of that, so we've let go of such a big mountain of gold! We mass-produced more than 20,000 stones of silver, but we actually thought it was a small place where birds don't poop."
"It's all money!"
Zhu Biao listened to his father's sigh at this time, but he still couldn't figure out what was going on.
This is fine, why did his father suddenly talk to Chu Ze about Japan?
"Chu Ze, what's going on?"
Although I was a little embarrassed by the amazing silver production in this small place in Japan.
But Zhu Biao was not yet stunned by the huge number in front of him.
The most important thing is to figure out what is going on now.
"Actually, it's a coincidence. Didn't I get some gunpowder yesterday? Then I remembered some things and brought Yongle to share good news with your father today."
"As a result, I brought gunpowder into the palace and forgot to report it, so I was detained by the palace guards. When I brought you to your father, I happened to hear that the envoys sent to Japan from the Ming Dynasty were killed by someone."
"By the way, I remembered the silver mine in Japan."
"And that's it"
After Chu Ze roughly told the story, his eyes finally fell on the sketch he drew.
"Later, after your father heard about the silver mine, you will know everything about it later."
After listening to Chu Ze’s description of the incident, Zhu Biao finished.
His brows also frowned deeply.
"A small country dares to murder our Ming envoy. If this matter is not handled well, our Ming court will definitely lose all its face in the future, especially in foreign negotiations."
"If the envoy is killed when he is on an envoy, but the court swallows his anger, then my envoy from the Ming Dynasty will definitely be weaker after he is on an envoy in the future. You must not just let it go."
It is said that weak countries have no diplomacy. Although the Ming Dynasty has only been established for less than twenty years.
However, the strength of the Ming Dynasty cannot be underestimated.
However, at this time, the surrounding countries did not really understand the horror of this young dynasty.
This also led to small countries like Japan who dared to offend the Ming Dynasty's national prestige.
In Zhu Biao's view, this incident was entirely caused by the lack of prestige in the Ming Dynasty.
Ming can defeat Beiyuan because of luck, but real swords and guns.
"Father, in the case of the Japanese killing my Ming envoy, I, the Ming Dynasty, must not retreat at all. Otherwise, if the surrounding barbarians think that my Ming Dynasty is cowardly, the border will be in peace in the future!"
"My son thinks that at this time, the Ming Dynasty needs a chicken to warn monkeys to show the majesty of my Ming Dynasty. Tell the world that Mingwei should not be angered!"
After just listening to Chu Ze’s story, Zhu Biao quickly had his own ideas.
After hearing what Zhu Yuanzhang said, he was originally immersed in the joy brought by the huge silver mineral output in Japan, but he couldn't help but frown and look at Zhu Biao.
"Biao'er, I agree with your opinion. However, it is not impossible to show off your power, but you also need to do it within your ability. Now that the Northern Yuan Dynasty is still there, my Ming Dynasty is not safe around me."
"So, remember to be careful to make certain decisions and never act impulsively."
It can be said that Zhu Biao is a cultural version of Zhu Yuanzhang in a sense. He learned orthodox Confucian culture from a young age with great scholars like Song Lian, so he seemed gentle and elegant, which was very different from his father, the famous evil star.
But don’t forget that Zhu Biao is also Zhu Yuanzhang’s bloodline.
In his body, Lao Zhu's blood was flowing.
He has literary thoughts in his heart, so Zhu Biao can suppress his tyranny and murderous intentions.
But this doesn't mean he has no temper.
On the contrary, if he starts to be angry, he may be even more terrifying than Zhu Yuanzhang.
In addition, Zhu Biao was young and energetic at this time.
What Lao Zhu is more worried about is that he will make wrong judgments because of impulse.
Even with his attitude towards Japan at this time, Lao Zhu himself wanted to fight this battle.
But he still had to tell Zhu Biao that he had to think twice before doing everything.
I had just heard that his envoy had killed someone outside, Zhu Biao was indeed a little angry. After seeing his father's frowning, he gradually calmed down.
"Father forgives the crime, my son is impulsive just now."
"Hey, what are you saying, Biao'er! We didn't say that your impulse was wrong just now. On the contrary, we think you performed very well just now."
"A real man should have blood! Anger is right, but you can't be confused because of anger."
Chu Ze, who was standing beside him, looked at Lao Zhu who was teaching Zhu Biao in a different way, and he couldn't help but secretly gave him a thumbs up in his heart.
Lao Zhu has put in really hard work in educating his children!
Unfortunately, in the original history, he did not expect his bet to die suddenly.
This also caused him to have no time to teach Zhu Yunwen again.
Otherwise, if he taught this, Zhu Yunwen would probably be able to hang Zhu Di up and hammer it.
"Your Majesty, why don't we go and see my experimental results first? I don't know anything about war or something."
"Now we have to wait for Xu Da and the others to come. How about we play ours first?"
After standing aside and watching Lao Zhu finish educating Zhu Biao, Chu Ze spoke again to remind Lao Zhu.
His main purpose of coming today has not been achieved.
"I was so happy just now that I almost forgot about your kid! I was going to the palace with gunpowder without saying a word... Are you going to heaven?"
"It's a pity that the fourth brother followed, otherwise the guards of the palace gate would arrest you and beat you up as soon as possible."
After hearing Chu Ze mention his incident again, Lao Zhu, who had forgotten about it, remembered it again.
But today he won a mountain of gold, and Lao Zhu felt so beautiful.
Even when I looked at Chu Ze, the expression on my face looked much better.
After a few simple lessons, this matter was just over.
However, Lao Zhu was quite concerned about what Chu Ze said, the method he thought of to enhance the power of gunpowder.
Among the Ming army, firearms were also a major force.
Especially artillery, it is a powerful weapon for siege!
"Let's go, let's go to the martial arts fair, Erhu, and bring all the seized things here."
"If Xu Da and the others arrive, let them come too."
After explaining, Lao Zhu took a last look at the picture drawn by Chu Ze on the table.
A smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
This kid Chu Ze really brought him good news!
"You are really... I don't know what to say about you. If you don't look at me, you will start to get into trouble!"
On the way to the martial arts court, Lao Zhu walked in front and deliberately distanced himself from Chu Ze and the other two behind him.
