Although I don’t know what my fourth brother is talking about specifically.
But at this time, Zhu Zhen was still looking at Chu Ze expectantly.
He didn't know anything else, but since his eldest brother and his fourth brother both valued Chu Ze so much, this person must be extraordinary.
Out of this mentality, Zhu Zhen was naturally a little curious as to what his fourth brother's so-called source of wealth was.
"So, in order to borrow money from King Chu, you brought me here for him?"
After listening to Zhu Di's words, Chu Ze couldn't help but look sideways at Zhu Zhen beside him.
This guy actually formed a caravan privately.
I just don’t know what his caravan is for.
"You can't say that. Lao Liu will lend me money and I will build an ammunition production line. Then I will go to the fiefdom. The weapons and equipment are powerful, so naturally I can stand up faster."
"If I stand firm, I can make money, right? Then... I can also support your research! When brother runs out of money, I can still help you with some of it!"
"I feel comfortable, and Lao Liu has also made a fortune. He will also join the feudal clan when the time comes. Now you can find a good position for him. Then he will definitely make a big fortune. By then, Lao Liu is a man as you said just now. Yes. He will definitely be able to support you financially."
"Isn't this something that is good for us? Don't you think so?"
Looking at Chu Ze who was speechless, Zhu Di thought he was coming here because he was unhappy, so he quickly started fighting haha.
Then he briefly stated his thoughts.
Not to mention, I don’t know if it’s because he has been with Chu Ze for a long time, but Zhu Di also imitates Chu Ze when he speaks, and he always talks in the same way.
Zhu Zhen who was listening was stunned.
When Zhu Di knocked him with his arm and asked him to speak, Zhu Zhen nodded quickly.
"Yes, yes, fourth brother is right! Half-immortal, please help me find a way to make money. If I make money later, I will definitely support you. I, Zhu Zhen, will definitely do what I say!"
Chu Ze looked at Zhu Zhen, who had a serious face, and his eyes narrowed slightly.
Then he made a slightly embarrassed expression.
"It's not that I don't want to help you with this matter, but you have also seen it. The current situation is that it doesn't matter what I want now. I don't have the manpower, the materials, and the venue."
"Even if I want to show you a way to make money, I must first be able to help you get this way, otherwise it will not be a way to make money, but a dead end."
"so."
"I don't think I can do anything about the location, but as for the manpower, I might be able to find a way. My caravan travels all over the country, so naturally I know a lot of people of all kinds. Maybe I can actually find the manpower the half-immortal needs."
"As for the materials, my caravan has business dealings with many foreigners. If we don't have them in our country, I might be able to bring them in for you from outside!"
"Half Immortal, look"
Otherwise, Zhu Zhen would cause trouble. What Chu Ze said just now, Zhu Di on the side was stunned, and he didn't realize what he was talking about for a while.
But Zhu Zhen was different. He understood the meaning of Chu Ze's words almost instantly.
And without any hesitation, he directly took the matter on himself.
"Since you said so, we are destined to be together today, so I will give you a hexagram."
Looking at Zhu Zhen who instantly understood what was going on, the corners of Chu Ze's mouth turned up slightly.
It's just comfortable to talk to this kind of person.
"I have something called soap. When I go back later, I will build a set of distillation equipment. Then I will teach you how to distill and extract plant essences, and then I will teach you how to make homemade soap."
"Using this thing to take a bath will not only make the bath extremely clean, but it will also leave a long-lasting fragrance."
"After you have this, you sell it to various places. After you make money, you can then find a way to build a merchant ship. Of course, you can use your status as a prince to build merchant ships on the scale of warships."
"Your fourth brother's territory will be in the south from now on, where there are rich jade mines. He will be able to make money quickly, and then exchange resources from the Ming Dynasty to develop himself. And if he advances from the land, your future territory will be Set in the same direction as him.”
"Your fourth brother will fight toward the southwest. You are on the sea and fight toward the southeast."
"The spices, minerals, food, and land along the way are all priceless good things."
"Especially spices. If you can bring back some rare goods, they will be worth as much as gold."
"When you stand firm when the time comes, I will tell you what is going to happen next. The location of your territory will be on the southeast coast. When you find a location to take root, you can start to spread the territory."
"As you go along, you will have to build more ships, and you will have to find people to research and build bigger ships that can sail farther."
"Otherwise, you will have gained too much by then, and it won't be easy to pull back, you know?"
Among Chu Ze's arrangements, Lao Zhu's sons who were most suitable for overseas expansion were naturally Yongle, the general who conquered the north.
Apart from him, the other sons are Zhu Quan, who is almost the most powerful in combat.
Zhu Quan is definitely the one with the highest war talent among Zhu Yuanzhang's sons.
It's just that this person's ambition is not as big as Zhu Di.
In other words, Zhu Di was deceived before he even started.
Zhu Quan is still young now, and Chu Ze has not been exposed to him yet.
However, the route Chu Ze arranged for him was to go north along the coast and arrange the feudal country to a bitter cold land.
By then, his side will be able to absorb a large number of prisoners left behind during the war.
Send them all to Siberia to grow potatoes.
Although the north is bitterly cold, its coal mines, natural gas and other resources are excellent.
In addition to Zhu Quan, there is also Zhu Bai.
Zhu Bai will be responsible for the northern expedition on land in the future. Let him take Zhu Di to be the general of the northern expedition.
With these four brothers leading the team, they were followed by other Lao Zhu's sons, who went to other places to fill the gap.
Forming a layout similar to a blitzkrieg, let the strongest people serve as spears to tear through the surrounding defense lines.
Then the weaker princes would fill the positions they had torn apart.
The strong are used to exploit and the weak are used to make up for the leaks.
After that, their descendants, such as Zhu Pangpang and Jin Douzi, were once again expelled from the feudal kingdom of their fathers.
Constantly transporting emperors from far and wide to expand territories.
As for himself, he accompanied Zhu Biao to guard the Ming Dynasty. At least while he was still alive, he would never let the Ming Dynasty become chaotic.
Let us preserve the last glory of the Han people.
Moreover, a relatively comfortable environment is created to allow the seeds of technology to gradually germinate.
As for what will happen in the end, it has nothing to do with Chu Ze.
"Isn't this soap? Good guy, Chu Ze, why are you so nice to Lao Liu? I knew about this stuff first! Why didn't you give it to me..."
After Zhu Di listened to the path that Chu Ze pointed out to Zhu Zhen, he couldn't help but feel a little interested.
He and Chu Ze have been together for such a long time, and Chu Ze has never given him such treatment!
This was the first time that Lao Liu met Chu Ze. He was sending soap formula and helping to improve the formula.
This is not a proper preference!
"What for you? You are about to become a vassal. If I don't train you, you will just mess around all day long. King Renchu has a caravan himself, and King Zhou's experimental city is already being planned. Lao Liu won’t go out for the time being, so it’s best to give him this thing.”
"Then the King of Zhou and the King of Chu can mix together and provide data for my experimental city, while also providing financial support."
"You? Besides knowing about fighting, what else do you know? People are not omnipotent. It is easier to reach the top by specializing in one thing."
"Do you want to fight or do business? If you want to do business, I will teach you."
"It's better not to say goodbye. I'd better eat what's ready-made. My opinion, Lao Liu, is that you go directly to the elder brother to approve a warship. Then you tell the elder brother that you are helping Chu Ze go to sea to find things. Let me tell you, there is a high probability that Big Brother will approve a warship for you, and at the same time, he can also approve a group of men for you."
"Fourth brother, are you kidding me? If I really go to the eldest brother then, he will beat me up."
"How is it possible? You go directly to the elder brother to cry, and tell him by the way that Chu Ze asked you to put the territory in the southeast, and then help me develop it together. You are here to help Chu Ze find things, and also to inspect first Route, if we prepare for the future. Big brother will definitely agree."
"Okay, that's what I'll say."
"Come on, let's go and see where to build the ammunition production site first. After we find a suitable location, the rest will be left to you. When the ammunition is produced, we two brothers will use it together. I That’s only a thousand people, so it won’t be much use.”
"Okay, I'll pay for it."
Now that the general direction is in place, the goals of Zhu Di and Zhu Zhen are good. There is a high probability that Zhu Di's own goal has been completed.
This guy directly hooked Zhu Zhen's shoulder and started fooling around while walking out.
And Chu Ze sat there, watching Zhu Di fool Zhu Zhen all the way, until finally, he fooled the other person into the carriage again, and drove away towards Juechen outside the test site.
Then he smiled and shook his head.
Judging from Zhu Zhen's appearance just now, he must have been fooled by Zhu Di.
That was when the three of them were fooling each other.
Zhu Biao also came to Zhu Yuanzhang with a simple version of the globe made by Chu Ze.
After noticing Zhu Biao's arrival, Zhu Yuanzhang quickly closed the memorial in his hand.
"Biao'er! Good news, great news. The first batch of people vaccinated with cowpox have basically recovered. Now the people infected with smallpox have not been found yet, but the clothes worn by those infected with smallpox are I did find some.”
"This group of people have been experimenting for several days now. They wear those clothes every day when eating and sleeping. Even those with wounds on their bodies have no symptoms. However, a few of the people in charge of the experiment seem to have contracted smallpox."
After Zhu Biao heard his father's somewhat delighted voice, his brows wrinkled slightly.
Apparently, people who had been vaccinated against cowpox recovered, which is a good thing.
But those in charge of the experiments contracted smallpox, which was not a good thing.
"Hey, Biao'er, don't frown like that! The people we arranged to be in charge of the experiment are basically damned people. We promised them from the beginning that as long as this experiment can be completed, I can forgive them for the sin of the Nine Clans. The blame for the crime rests solely with them.”
"So...just take it easy. Someone has to pay the price. After that, we will record their names in the annals of history, so that they deserve their death."
After hearing what Zhu Yuanzhang said, Zhu Biao's frown relaxed slightly.
"My father is kind and virtuous, and my sons and ministers must learn from my father!"
"."
After hearing Zhu Biao's words, the corners of Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes twitched slightly.
He is so kind!
If Zhu Biao wasn't afraid of being angry and depressed, how could he be so easy to talk to?
These arrangements were not made out of consideration for Zhu Biao's feelings.
However, after seeing his son's brows relax, Lao Zhu also felt that it was worthwhile to consider this.
As long as nothing happens to his Biao'er, he, as a father, will feel aggrieved.
It's not a big problem if you can bear it.
Besides, how can such a small grievance be compared to a white-haired person giving away a black-haired person?
"Hey, what did you bring back?"
Zhu Yuanzhang, who did not want to get into more trouble on this matter, also looked at the simplified version of the globe held in the hands of the entourage behind Zhu Biao.
After hearing his father's question, Zhu Biao asked his entourage to bring the globe in front of Zhu Yuanzhang.
"Father, didn't you say last time that you were a little curious about what the world is like? This is a brief outline of the entire world that I asked Chu Ze to draw."
"Please see, generally speaking, the shape is a ball, but Chu Ze said that the ball is flat. Originally, Erchen thought that we came directly above the ball. But Chu Ze said that our Ming Dynasty is probably here. .”
"These parts painted blue are the sea."
"Oh? Is this large part of our Ming Dynasty? If you look at it that way, the territory of our Ming Dynasty is still quite vast!"
"Father, you have misunderstood. This large area is the Asian continent. Our Ming Dynasty is in this corner."
"What? Our Ming Dynasty has such a big fist?"
"."
Originally, Zhu Yuanzhang heard Zhu Biao say that this was when Chu Ze drew the general appearance of the world.
He also looked at the ball held in the attendant's hand with curiosity.
But when I found out that my Ming Dynasty only occupied a pitifully small piece of territory on this ball.
Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly felt uncomfortable in his heart.
This is a bit too small.
Then, Lao Zhu seemingly casually turned the globe held by his entourage.
Looking at the areas without color on the picture, his breathing gradually became faster.
"Biao'er, tell me, it's a bit of a waste if such a big place is empty! If it were given to us, how much food would our people be able to grow?"
"dont you agree?"
The second update is delivered today!
