Zhu Yunye was very sincere and said that he did not want to go back on his promise to Zhu Zhanji.
But this matter happened to be related to the Fire Dragon Cannon, which made it difficult for him to choose.
Zhu Yunye sat with his back on the dragon chair, looking up at the beams above the hall, constantly weighing in his mind.
Han Du didn't make a sound and looked at Zhu Yunye quietly. From the bottom of his heart, he certainly didn't want Zhu Zhanji to take away the academy students.
Nowadays, all walks of life in Ming Dynasty are booming, and there are too many talents in need. As for the few students in the academy, they couldn't even splash water on the entire Ming Dynasty. Of course, they didn't want Zhu Zhanji to come and snatch them away.
But after this conversation with Zhu Yunye, Han Du's heart continued to sink.
Although Zhu Yunye didn't say it explicitly, he agreed with Zhu Zhanji's intention to recruit students in the academy.
Even if Han Du brought out the fire dragon cannon, it only made Zhu Yunye pay attention to the academy students, but it did not completely give up his idea.
"I have decided." Zhu Yunye placed his hands naturally on his sides, straightened his upper body and looked at Han Du.
Han Du's heart suddenly sank, and he had already guessed Zhu Yunye's plan. If he doesn't agree, he should just issue the order directly. And what he said now was almost equivalent to agreeing with Zhu Zhanji's recruitment of academy students.
Sure enough, Zhu Yunye's next words confirmed Han Du's guess: "I am the emperor, and I can speak the truth. If it is related to the survival of the Ming Dynasty, then I can even issue an edict to sin against myself..."
The meaning was so obvious that it was almost said outright.
Han Du felt unwilling: "Your Majesty..."
Before Han Du could finish speaking, Zhu Yunye waved his hand and interrupted: "I know what you are going to say, but since how many times
If I can't be of much use to myself, then why not give it to me? "
"Your Majesty! It is true that it will not affect the Ming Dynasty in a short period of time, but as long as Zhu Zhanji brings the seeds back, they will eventually bloom and bear fruit one day. By then, the Ming Dynasty will be the one who suffers!" Han Du's face was full of sorrow. He stood up and bowed to Zhu Yunye, hoping that he would give up his thoughts.
Zhu Yunye walked down and put his hands towards Han Du. He felt his hands sink, as if Han Du was unwilling to get up.
Han Du raised his eyes and looked into Zhu Yunye's eyes, hoping that he would change his mind.
Zhu Yunye's face darkened, and his hands suddenly tightened.
Feeling Zhu Yunye's determination, Han Du sighed helplessly and could only stand up reluctantly.
But Han Du's concession made Zhu Yunye very happy, and he burst out laughing: "Hahaha, I heard my father said that my uncle was also firmly opposed to letting my fourth uncle go to America?"
Not to mention it was back then, even now Han Du had the same idea, nodded and said: "It is true."
Zhu Yunye laughed even louder, and even continued to ask a little proudly: "From that time to this day, my uncle's original worries have not come true. It shows that uncle is not all he expected."
Regarding this, Han Du was helpless. According to his original idea, a hero like Zhu Di could not be trusted even if he swore to heaven.
Han Du believed that he could turn a blind eye to all the oaths he had made as long as Zhu Di needed him.
After thinking for a while, Han Du sighed and said: "Does the Emperor think that Zhu Di has changed his ways? Or does he think that he is old and fatuous?"
This was said in an extremely rude manner, almost pointing at Zhu Yunye's nose and scolding him for his naivety.
Zhu Yunye naturally heard it
The implication was that his face suddenly darkened and he said loudly and displeasedly: "Uncle!"
Han Du was interrupted by the sudden sound and looked at Zhu Yunye with his eyes open.
Zhu Yunye took a deep breath and said sharply word by word: "My father was not afraid of him back then, so why should I be afraid?"
Han Du couldn't help but shake his head when he saw Zhu Yunye speaking so righteously. Do you really think you are your father? Do you think your father can suppress Zhu Di and you can suppress him?
The reason why the Xinming Dynasty has not had much contact with the Ming Dynasty in the past few years. Han Du speculates that on the one hand, Zhu Di had to face the pressure of the Native Americans and was unable to distract the Ming Dynasty; on the other hand, Zhu Di was frightened by the power of the fire dragon cannon, and he still refuses to do so even now. If you haven't come out of the shadows, you naturally don't dare to make mistakes.
"Has the Emperor ever thought about..."
Zhu Yunye immediately smiled softly and said casually: "What have you been thinking about?"
Han Du bowed slightly, slowly sat back on the Jindun, looked up into his eyes: "Perhaps it was because of the fire dragon cannon that Zhu Di did not dare to take advantage of the Ming Dynasty. Has the emperor ever thought about it? What if he has a fire dragon cannon?"
Zhu Yunye laughed, turned around and walked around the room, and said with a relaxed expression: "Didn't uncle also say that? Building a fire dragon cannon is not a simple matter. Even if Zhu Zhanji takes some students to America, they will not be able to build it in a short time. Come out. If that's the case, then what else do I have to worry about?"
"Since the emperor has made up his mind, I will not object." Han Du woke up, Zhu Yunye was addicted to food.
He thought he had Zhu Biao's skill and courage and could convince Zhu Di. He thought Zhu Di watched it when he was a child
He looked so amiable, but he really didn't know that the reason why Zhu Di was amiable at that time had nothing to do with him, it was entirely because of his father.
But one thing Zhu Yunye said was reasonable, that is, Zhu Di was a bit old. Perhaps he would have been buried long ago when Xinming built the fire dragon cannon.
In this case, there is no problem. Zhu Gaochi is a kind-hearted person. Even if he has the fire dragon cannon, he would not think of starting a war with the Ming Dynasty.
Thinking of this, Han Du stopped insisting and nodded: "Well, since the emperor's words are true, it cannot be changed easily. I agree."
"Hahaha," Zhu Yunye looked at Han Du with satisfaction and appreciation, "I knew that my uncle would not let me down."
Han Du was extremely speechless. He sold the academy students for a trade of 10 million yuan. No matter how you looked at it, this transaction was not a good deal.
Zhu Yunye seemed to have guessed what Han Du was thinking, and said quickly: "Does uncle think that I only agreed to him in order to trade slaves with Zhu Zhanji?"
Han Du didn't speak, but his meaning was clear, that's what he thought.
Zhu Yunye sat back on the dragon chair and then explained: "In addition to the slave trade, Zhu Zhanji also wants to open trade. My uncle also knows that there is nothing in Xinming that can be sold to Daming. Once sea trade is opened, , then only Daming can be sold to Xinming, which is a huge source of wealth."
This was quite reasonable, and Han Du couldn't help but nod. The Xin Ming Dynasty is now full of waste and has nothing to develop, while the Ming Dynasty has prosperous handicraft industry and lacks nothing. It is simply impossible for Xinming to sell goods to Daming
, only goods from Daming were sold to Xinming.
The Americas are rich in products, and there are many materials that can be exchanged for them besides gold and silver. Among other things, rubber was in urgent need of Ming Dynasty.
