"Fourth brother, you are somewhat losing your conscience when you say this! How can I lend you money?"
"Stop pretending, kid. Don't think that Fourth Brother doesn't know. You have built a caravan privately, right? Hurry up and lend Fourth Brother some money. Fourth Brother will help you hide this matter. If you don't lend it, , then I can only go to big brother. You can figure it out!"
"No, fourth brother, we can't do this!"
"Lao Liu, Fourth Brother knows what you are capable of. Come on, Fourth Brother will not lend you money in vain. Fourth Brother will show you a way to make money. You know that Fourth Brother wants to establish a vassal state outside the territory, right? Fourth Brother is now If you want to go outside the territory to make money, your kid will definitely go outside the territory in the future. Let’s go, come with fourth brother first.”
Outside the mansion of Chu King Zhu Zhen, Chu King Zhu Zhen had just stepped out of his mansion. Before he could take two steps, he was suddenly held down by someone.
And when he turned around, he saw his fourth brother, King Zhu Di of Yan.
When he saw his fourth brother whom he hadn't seen for a long time, Zhu Zhen originally wanted to say hello.
But who would have known that before others could speak, Zhu Di was the first to bring up something that made Zhu Zhen's head-scratcher.
His fourth brother actually came to him to borrow money.
This made Zhu Zhen suddenly feel that he was not well.
Between the princes, they actually borrowed money
This is not nonsense.
Moreover, Zhu Zhen himself knew the temper of his fourth brother very well.
Once this money is borrowed, I'm afraid it will never come back.
But looking at his fourth brother, who was half a head taller than him, Zhu Zhen did not dare to refuse directly.
What Zhu Zhen didn't expect in particular was that his fourth brother actually knew that he had formed a caravan in private.
This made Zhu Zhen even more afraid to speak.
If his eldest brother and father knew about this, they would probably be less prepared to poison him.
He knew that his second brother was a feudal lord when he went out, but when he was called back this time, he was not only beaten, but also seemingly detained.
If anything fatal was revealed to him at this time, his father would be so angry that he would not be able to bear the consequences and walk away.
So when Zhu Di wanted to take him away, although Zhu Zhen resisted, he could only follow him into the carriage.
"Fourth brother, where are we going? How does this look like the road to the palace?"
"I'm just going to the palace, but don't worry, the fourth brother didn't take you to complain to the eldest brother. He said he was going to show you a way to make money!"
For Zhu Zhen, the sixth child, who seemed a little impatient along the way.
Zhu Di, the fourth brother, patiently calmed him down.
The carriage passed through the palace gate all the way. After Zhu Di showed his waist card, he passed several checkpoints and finally arrived at the testing ground where Chu Ze was.
At this time, Chu Ze's experimental site, with the development of more than half a month, the number of people was increasing.
Not only that, but the surrounding security has become extremely tight.
Especially as the frequency of accidental explosions on Chu Ze's side increased, and because he was in the palace, they often exploded.
Sometimes some curious princesses or little princes would come here following the sound, and would be so frightened that they couldn't sleep well for a few days.
Lao Zhu ordered the establishment of four checkpoints directly, and no one was allowed to approach the test site without a waist card.
boom
boom
"Save people first, he hasn't left the formula yet! People must be saved!"
"Hurry up and put out the fire. Come and put out the fire. This is the last set of equipment. It will be used soon. Don't let it burn out."
"The person is fine, he just fainted."
"Then why don't you put out the fire quickly?"
"Hahaha, I succeeded, I succeeded. Dean, Dean, I succeeded!"
Under the leadership of Zhu Di, Zhu Zhen set foot in Chu Ze's experimental site for the first time. However, as soon as he entered, he was startled by the noisy environment around him.
From time to time, there would be bursts of explosions all around. Some places were conducting experiments, while others were simply furnaces exploding.
From time to time there would be calls for fire fighting or rescuing people.
In addition to these, some people suddenly jumped up and shouted crazily that they were successful.
Of course, there are also people who will just smash things from time to time and shout crazy things like why they just can't succeed.
The entire experimental field is large, but extremely noisy.
However, the crazy-looking people around him made Zhu Zhen feel a little nervous.
"Fourth brother... what kind of place is this? Why don't we go back first? I think we brothers can still discuss the matter of borrowing money! Fourth brother"
Zhu Zhen looked at everything around him, and he became more and more frightened.
Why does this damn place look like there are so many crazy people?
Could it be that his fourth brother planned to make arrangements for himself here because he didn't want to borrow money?
"Hey, what are you afraid of? Although these people look a little crazy, don't worry, they are all normal people. It doesn't matter."
"Hey, we've arrived."
Zhu Di looked at Zhu Zhen, whose face was full of worry. He smiled and got off the carriage directly, dragging him towards a pavilion on the edge of the test site.
As soon as he entered the door, he roared at the top of his voice.
"Chu Ze, look, I brought you... big brother! Why are you here too?"
Zhu Di's originally loud voice suddenly weakened when he entered the door and saw Zhu Biao sitting face to face with Chu Ze.
When Zhu Zhen on the side saw Zhu Biao, his face was filled with bitterness.
At the same time, he complained about Zhu Di crazily in his heart.
'Fourth brother, you are still pretending! Why didn't I realize you were so narrow-minded before? I already said that borrowing money is completely negotiable. Why did you bring me to my eldest brother to complain? '
'Look, I will never believe you again. '
Although Zhu Zhen's heart was racing with ten thousand alpacas at this time, looking at his eldest brother Zhu Biao who looked over in response, he quickly closed his sleeves and then bowed respectfully to Zhu Biao.
"My younger brother, Zhu Zhen, has met the prince."
Zhu Biao, who was studying the ball in his hand with Chu Ze, noticed Zhu Di and Zhu Zhen standing at the door.
His brows suddenly frowned slightly.
"Fourth, aren't you supposed to be training? Why are you here?"
"Uh, brother, my father-in-law said that I have been very diligent in training recently. Seeing that I am working hard, he asked me to rest for two days to digest what I have learned recently! I didn't skip training!"
Seeing Zhu Biao asking why he was here, Zhu Di quickly waved his hands and explained.
If this made his eldest brother think that he was training too hard, so he deliberately skipped training and ran away, then he probably wouldn't have to report it to his father, and his eldest brother would have to whip him directly.
These brothers were basically brought up by Zhu Biao, and there was no one who had not been beaten by his eldest brother.
But even though he was beaten, no one remembered him.
Mainly, when they were beaten, his eldest brother cried more sadly than them.
"Is that so? Then why are you standing outside? You've been working really hard lately. It's rare for you to have a day off. Come and sit down quickly."
When Zhu Biao heard that Zhu Di was not skipping training, but Xu Da was letting him rest.
His face looked better now.
And looking at Zhu Di, who had obviously tanned a lot in the past few days, he felt distressed and asked him to quickly find a place to sit down.
After asking Zhu Di, Zhu Biao also looked at Zhu Zhen aside.
"Why is Lao Liu here too? You brought him here. Lao Liu come and sit down, you don't have to stand."
"Thank you, brother."
After hearing Zhu Biao's words, Zhu Zhen dared to come to the side and sit down.
But I don't know if it was because he was hiding something in his heart. After he sat down, his expression looked a little unnatural.
"Yongle, did you come here to get bullets today? If you want to get bullets, there are many processing areas on the left. You can use them for training first, but don't think about mass production for the time being. I asked your elder brother just now Sorry, we really have no money."
When Chu Ze looked at Zhu Di, who was chasing him again early this morning, he didn't intend to wait for Zhu Di to speak, and directly emphasized the matter to him again.
The funds on his side are starting to get a little tight.
But there was no time to make ammunition for Zhu Di, and there was no money at the same time.
This guy just went to his house yesterday to mention this matter, and now he's here again.
So in Chu Ze's opinion, this guy definitely came to him again to talk about this matter.
Money is spent wisely, and R&D is the top priority for him.
Everything else must step aside.
"Well, that's not what I came here to talk about today, but I will take away the bullet later."
"I have almost selected my personal guards, and they cannot be carried with them for subsequent training. Although they are all elite cavalry, I still hope that these people can ride and fight on horseback, and can skillfully use various firearms and grenades when dismounted."
After hearing Chu Ze mention the bullet again, Zhu Di looked at Zhu Biao with a guilty conscience.
He had originally set his sights on Zhu Zhen, who was relatively wealthy among the brothers, and planned to ask him for support.
In order to trick Lao Liu into supporting him, he even deliberately wanted to bring Lao Liu over to Chu Ze to tell him all the benefits of becoming a vassal outside his territory.
So that he could lend himself money to build an ammunition production line without any scruples.
But now that Zhu Biao was present, he did not dare to say this.
What if his elder brother knew about Lao Liu's private caravan?
Then neither of them can eat and walk around.
One knows the law and breaks it, and the other covers up the same crime.
Just waiting to be whipped.
After Chu Ze spoke, Zhu Zhen, who was brought by Zhu Di, finally noticed.
However, when he noticed Chu Ze, Zhu Zhen's expression became a little strange.
This guy, he actually sat on the main seat!
You know, the person sitting opposite him is the current prince.
When Chu Ze bought the right prince, he actually dared to sit safely in the main seat and let his eldest brother sit in the guest seat.
This is extremely disrespectful. What is this guy's background?
Chuze
Wait, this guy can't be the Chu Ze who proposed to let the vassal kings establish vassals outside the territory and exile all the vassal kings!
Good guy, looking at it like this, it really is him.
I heard this guy is quite vicious.
It seems that the rumor is that he is the counselor next to the eldest brother.
Why is Fourth Brother dragging me to see him?
And judging from the relationship between Fourth Brother and this guy, it seems to be pretty good.
"Is this the King of Chu Zhu Zhen here? I have long admired his name, and it's a pleasure to meet him today."
After dealing with Zhu Di, Chu Ze also turned his attention to Zhu Zhen, who was sitting beside him and looked much younger.
Among Lao Zhu's first few sons, apart from Zhu Biao, this King of Chu is probably the most capable of causing trouble.
And not surprisingly, this person should also be the most optimistic.
According to rumors, Zhu Zhen is the eldest son of Lao Zhu's concubine, and Zhu Zhen is the only Lao Zhu's daughter-in-law with a posthumous title besides Queen Ma.
The two lakes were his vassal state. In the early days, this king of Chu performed very well. He could be regarded as a prince who learned from Tang He and emerged from the war.
However, during the Lan Yu case, Lao Zhu killed his father-in-law and Wang Bi.
From then on, the King of Chu seemed to look away and just lay there.
Zhu Yunwen subsequently cut down the vassal vassal. He guarded the border and his geographical location was important, so Zhu Yunwen did not dare to touch him.
After that, Zhu Di captured Yingtian Mansion and ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor.
Zhu Zhen also came to submit immediately without any delay.
After Zhu Di went on an expedition, he provided soldiers, money and food many times.
Zhu Di greatly appreciated Zhu Zhen's behavior.
Moreover, before Zhu Zhen died, he warned the prince and his children to avoid causing trouble.
After his descendants listened to the warning, the Chu king's lineage was almost always wealthy until the end of the Ming Dynasty.
This King of Chu is definitely a master who can see the general trend clearly and is also capable.
There are probably not many people who are as good as him in terms of being sociable.
"It's a pleasure to meet you. How can I be famous? I've heard of Mr. Chuze's name a lot recently. It's really rare to see him today."
After roughly knowing Chu Ze's status, Zhu Zhen directly lowered his attitude.
A guy who can sit on the throne in front of his eldest brother and talk to his fourth brother like this.
That must not be much simpler.
It's better to get along well with this kind of person.
But when the two of them were being polite to each other, Zhu Di's eyes started to roll.
Long time admirer, happy to meet you.
If these two words are spoken by others, they are generally just polite words.
Basically just listen to it.
But the person sitting opposite them is no one else!
This was Chu Ze, the man whose father could call him the God of Plague in anger.
And he was a guy who screamed like a crow not long ago.
This guy has been admired for a long time, that is, he has been admired for a long time, at least for hundreds of years.
According to Zhu Di's understanding of Chu Ze, it seems that there is no one who he has admired for a long time and is happy to meet when he meets him. So far, no one has settled down.
And he had just admired and met Lao Liu for a long time.
Is that right?
"Chu Ze! Is there anything bad that happened to Lao Liu? Why don't you tell us and let us enjoy the fun?"
After hearing Zhu Di's words, Chu Ze and Zhu Biao immediately looked at Zhu Di with strange eyes.
Zhu Zhen, whose name was called, was confused at this time.
Something bad happened to you?
What's going on?
Please support me with a monthly ticket.
