Chapter 978 Oh, the Crown Prince and the Prince Consort of our Great Ming Dynasty have returned to t
Yang Shaofeng gave Zhu Biao a thumbs up.
Look, look! This is the founding crown prince of the Ming Dynasty, trained by Lao Deng, Li Shanchang, Xu Da, and Chang Heitan. They are all so rotten that they are oozing pus from their heads and sores from their feet!
Xia Yu, sitting next to him, was completely dumbfounded.
What exactly are Your Highness and the Prince Consort talking about?
How did they manage to see an opportunity to make money and exploit laborers in just a few words of secret communication?
The prince consort gave His Highness a thumbs-up, seemingly agreeing with the Crown Prince's statement.
In other words, the Embroidered Uniform Guard also had to find a way to train those Yici Le Yeren and Yeli Kewen believers into spies, and then send them to Europe to cause trouble.
My goodness! I came here to report on the translation of smuggled books by the Christians of Yeli Kewen, how did it all turn out like this?
Zhu Biao picked up his teacup and took a sip, while Yang Shaofeng smiled and said, "Actually, there's another new way to play."
The famous secret agent Ling Lingqi once said that even a pair of underwear or a roll of toilet paper has its uses.
The Embroidered Uniform Guard's specialty was framing and extracting confessions through torture, enough to make a Siberian hamster admit it was a little white rabbit.
Some scholars may not be good at doing serious work, but they are very capable in other areas.
For example, a famous scholar went to work as a strategist and was beaten to a pulp, but the novel he wrote became one of the Four Great Classical Novels.
Let the Imperial Guard train those few Yeliken believers into spies, then capture a scholar and have him write novels while training the spies. This would not only incite chaos in the European countries and the Yeliken Papacy, but also incite the barbarian people of Europe to rise up in rebellion.
Yang Shaofeng said with a smile, "I plan to have the Embroidered Uniform Guard invite Shi Nai'an and Luo Guanzhong, along with a few more interpreters, to properly organize 'Water Margin' and then translate it into European languages."
Zhu Biao's eyes lit up, and he looked at Yang Shaofeng, asking, "Let the barbarian people of Europe learn to rebel?"
Yang Shaofeng shook his head slightly and said, "Most of the barbarian people in Europe are illiterate. It is impossible to expect them to learn how to rebel through 'Water Margin'."
"However, Europe is a small place with a lot of evil spirits and shallow waters with many turtles."
"Even a tiny country has a whole bunch of nobles like dukes, marquises, earls, lords, and knights."
"Some of these people will eventually become literate."
"The European version of 'Water Margin' was prepared for them."
Zhu Biao immediately burst into laughter, his face beaming with schadenfreude.
"After reading too much 'Water Margin,' those kings, dukes, marquises, and even lords and knights might start thinking about seizing the throne."
"Most importantly, these kinds of stories can easily spread, and maybe some common people will want to live a life of drinking wine from large bowls, eating large chunks of meat, and dividing gold by the scale."
“If conflicts break out between small countries in Europe, or between small countries and the Papacy, and the barbarian people of Europe also become unruly, then we can take the opportunity to sell our obsolete weapons to them, and incidentally buy prisoners of war as laborers.”
"In this way, our Great Ming will not lack money or labor."
Yang Shaofeng nodded with a smile, and Zhu Biao then turned his gaze to Xia Yu: "Did you bring back all those Yici Leye people and Yelikewen believers?"
Xia Yu snapped out of his daze and hurriedly bowed to Zhu Biao, saying, "Your Highness, we are already on our way to be escorted. We are accompanied by an interpreter hired by the local commander. We estimate that we will arrive in the capital in about ten days."
Zhu Biao hummed in agreement, then turned to look at Yang Shaofeng and said with a smile, "Brother-in-law, shall we go to the palace?"
Yang Shaofeng gave Zhu Biao a thumbs up in his heart.
As expected of black sesame glutinous rice balls.
When it comes to provoking Old Deng, Black Sesame Dumplings is second to none in the world.
Who has ever seen a crown prince who stole the emperor's seal and stamped it, and then dared to go into the palace to cause trouble for the emperor?
Especially considering that the emperor whose seal was stolen was the notoriously cruel Zhu Chongba.
……
Emperor Zhu stared at Yang Shaofeng and Zhu Biao with an unfriendly expression, and blurted out, "Oh, so the Crown Prince and the Prince Consort of our Great Ming Dynasty have returned to the palace?"
Yang Shaofeng immediately took half a step back, shielding Zhu Biao in front of him.
Ok?
Zhu Biao turned his head slightly, his gaze towards Yang Shaofeng filled with disbelief.
No.
What's the meaning of you blocking your little brother in front of you?
I treated you like a brother, and you kicked me into the river?
Emperor Zhu glanced at the two men and said with a forced smile, "Tell me, what new tricks have the Crown Prince and the Prince Consort come up with to torment us this time they returned to the palace?"
Yang Shaofeng didn't care about the sarcasm in Emperor Zhu's words. He just chuckled twice and said, "This time, your son-in-law is going to the palace with Your Highness to discuss the issues of the Ming Dynasty's treasury and laborers."
Emperor Zhu's expression immediately changed.
Although her son-in-law was a bit of a scoundrel, he rarely talked nonsense.
Since he said it was for the sake of the Ming Dynasty's treasury and labor issues, then there must be some way to make money.
Emperor Zhu turned to Chen Zhong and instructed, "Have someone bring a chair for the Imperial Son-in-Law, and also have someone brew a pot of tea."
Chen Zhong bowed in agreement, and Emperor Zhu looked at Yang Shaofeng with a smile and said, "My dear son-in-law, do you have any good ideas to solve the problems of our Ming Dynasty's empty treasury and labor shortage?"
Yang Shaofeng first gave Zhu Biao a wink, then bowed to the Emperor and replied, "Father-in-law, this idea was actually His Highness's. Why don't we let His Highness speak?"
Emperor Zhu looked at Zhu Biao, who coughed and said, "I was just having tea with my brother-in-law at the Imperial Son-in-Law's residence when Xia Yu from the Embroidered Uniform Guard came to report that there are Yeli Kewen followers and a Cileye person in the Zhangquan area who are colluding to translate and smuggle books from the Central Plains abroad."
As soon as Zhu Biao finished speaking, the Emperor Zhu's face turned as black as the bottom of a pot, and he cursed, "These ungrateful wolves!"
Zhu Biao nodded in agreement and continued, "Father, don't worry, the Embroidered Uniform Guard has already arrested them and they are on their way to the capital."
Emperor Zhu's expression softened somewhat, and he looked at Yang Shaofeng, saying, "Did you order the Embroidered Uniform Guard to keep an eye on them?"
Yang Shaofeng nodded directly.
"Europa was originally a truly impoverished and remote place. It was not so poor that even birds would poop in it, but it was close to that."
"In such a poor and desolate place, it would have been impossible for printing technology to have originated."
"But the indulgences from the Church of Yerich are clearly printed."
"So, I wondered if the Yeli Kewen followers secretly introduced printing technology to Europe when Hu Yuan was an official?"
