Zhu Houzhao's words suddenly made Zhu Youtang's eyes light up. Yes, since it was said to be the Ming Alliance, why do you have to fight on some things by yourself? It doesn't matter if you buy a ship directly, even if the price is expensive and you can't afford it for a while, the big deal is first Well, I can't run away anyway. When the fleet comes back from the sea, I will definitely have money and then I can pay it back. In this way, other time and space will also make money, and I will also make money and save time. Isn't it the best of both worlds? .
"Huzhao, you are such a clever little guy." Zhu Youtang hugged Zhu Houzhao happily, and then glanced at Zhu Yuanzhang and Yongle Zhu Di, because these two people now have the best shipbuilding skills. Advanced, they are the only two in space and time who have the ability to sell excess ships.
Yongle Zhu Di glanced at Zhu Yuanzhang with some emotion. When he saw Zhu Yuanzhang's face, Zhu Di remained silent. Although selling ships can indeed make a fortune, Zhu Di is not short of this money now. The overseas wealth can be said to be countless. He does not have any financial troubles now. Since his father is also interested, it is better to leave this opportunity to his father. Anyway, the Yongle Dynasty now has firecrackers and artillery. Stable income is just a way to make his father happy.
Zhu Yuanzhang saw that Zhu Di did not speak, so he asked: "Fourth, what do you say? This deal can not only be done with the Hongzhi Dynasty, we think there should be quite a lot of time and space when it is needed. Since the Xuande Dynasty, the rest of the time and space should be They don’t pay much attention to shipyards, so it’s quite difficult to rebuild ships that can go to sea.”
Zhu Di smiled and shook his head: "Now that the Yongle Dynasty is vigorously developing firearms, there are no spare craftsmen to build so many ships. It seems that this business can only be left to the Hongwu Dynasty."
Zhu Yuanzhang took a deep look at Zhu Di. He didn't believe Zhu Di's lies. This look was a refusal. But since Zhu Di said this, Lao Zhu also accepted the favor. Although the Hongwu Dynasty was not short of money for the time being, there were really many places that needed to spend money. Just say that universal education was a bottomless pit. Although Zhu Yuanzhang I don't go back to Hongwu often, but I also know that the imperial court's finances can only be said to be not very short, but it is definitely not rich. If I can get a deal for Zhu Biao, I think Zhu Biao will be very happy.
"In this case, let me take over this business for Biao'er. As for the specific price, we can decide after asking Biao'er. After all, we are all a family, and we also know that Hongzhi Chao doesn't have much spare money now. , we can promise you that you only need to pay a deposit, and the subsequent money can be paid off after your fleet comes back."
When Zhu Youtang heard this, he immediately nodded gratefully to Zhu Yuanzhang: "Taizu, thank you so much. That's settled."
With the example of Zhu Youtang, Zhu Houzhao immediately raised his hand.
"And I, Taizu, also want to buy a batch of ships. I also pay a deposit in advance and pay the rest after I come back."
Zhu Houcong glanced at Zhu Houzhao and Zhu Youtang, and then slowly raised his hand: "Then let me join in. The Jiajing Dynasty also very much needs ships to form a fleet to go to sea."
Zhu Yuanzhang nodded with a smile: "Okay, okay, but the Hongwu Dynasty is also in short supply of craftsmen now, so it can only be delivered in batches, but the time will definitely be much faster than trying to figure it out yourself."
"No problem, I'm not in a hurry anyway. If you want to go to sea, you have to wait until the court is completely under control." Zhu Houzhao said calmly.
Zhu Yuanzhang glanced at Zhu Houzhao and asked: "Why, didn't Mr. Zhao give you a lot of tricks before? You haven't taken control of the court after so long. You are such a waste."
Facing Zhu Yuanzhang's merciless contempt, Zhu Houcong on the side smiled very wildly.
Zhu Houzhao glared at Zhu Houcong, and then explained with a distressed look: "Taizu, the scholar-bureaucrat group in the Zhengde Dynasty is very difficult. Although the methods of the imperial master are very effective, and the power in my hands has been increasing, but I want to completely It’s not that easy to control the court.”
"Tell us what you are doing now, and we will help you analyze and see if there is a better way." Zhu Yuanzhang is also very enthusiastic. Since becoming the Supreme Emperor, Zhu Yuanzhang's mentality has become very peaceful. In the past, Losing temper at every turn is rare nowadays.
Zhu Houzhao organized his speech, and then said: "What we mainly do during this period is to divide the factions in the court. In the past, the faction headed by Yang Tinghe was the dominant one in the court, but I listened to the words of the imperial master and forced Jiang Bin I fell out with Yang Tinghe and then strongly supported Yang Yiqing. Yang Yiqing was indeed a talented person. I had a sincere exchange with him. Yang Yiqing knew that my ambition was to make the Ming Dynasty more powerful, so he took the initiative to join me. , and then help me fight with Yang Tinghe, so that the forces in the DPRK and China can check and balance each other. Of course, I have also done something recently..."
Having said this, Zhu Houzhao glanced at Zhu Houcong next to him, and then said in a teasing tone: "I had a good talk with my good cousin before, but if the imperial master hadn't informed me, I wouldn't have known about this small hall of mine." My brother is actually a political expert. He cries in front of me every day, which almost makes me think that he is a waste, so I directly exposed his disguise. You don’t know what my good cousin did at that time. The expression on his face is so funny."
Zhu Houcong silently clenched his fists. Although he knew that the cousin Zhu Houzhao mentioned was not himself, he was still himself in Zhengde time and space.
"My little cousin couldn't hide it from me anymore, so he turned against me and asked me what on earth I was going to do and whether I was willing to let him go. I told him to let him stay in the capital for the time being, as long as I have complete control over it. The court, I will let him go back, as long as he does not do anything inappropriate, I can promise him that I will not embarrass him in the future."
"My little cousin has no choice but to become my military advisor. Not to mention, this guy is indeed very powerful. He has helped me correct a lot of problems these days by my side. None of the old foxes in the court belong to him. Opponent."
Zhu Houcong rolled his eyes wildly when he heard this. He tried to put himself into the identity of Zhu Houcong of the Zhengde Dynasty. Then he felt that it was a shame and humiliation to be manipulated by Zhu Houzhao like this. If it were him, he would probably be pissed to death.
After Zhu Houzhao finished speaking, he patted Zhu Houcong on the shoulder with a look of relief: "Little cousin, you are really good, it's hard to do it."
Zhu Houcong pushed Zhu Houzhao's hand away expressionlessly: "I'm not your little cousin. Also, just give me some face and don't embarrass Zhu Houzhao of the Zhengde Dynasty too much, okay?"
