Chapter 478: A Great Gift from a Son-in-law

Zhu Zaiji sent a complete set of notes to his second brother, and also attached a list of books he had read in the past few years, as for whether he had really read it, no one knew.

Anyway, it's a long one, and it's all sent to Wang Guifei's hands.

Don't look at the name with a noble word, in fact, it is not expensive at all, even her own son will not call her mother, and she does not have any title of mother...... In this palace, there is only one male host, that is Zhu Houxi, and there is only one hostess, that is, Zhu Zaiji's mother, Empress Chen.

The rest of the women are slaves, even if you are of high rank, it is useless...... Unless you have the blessing of the Shaw Brothers, not to mention the death of your peers, and wait until your own grandson ascends the throne before you turn over.

Wang Guifei obviously did not dare to expect such a miracle, in fact, she was frightened by Zhu Zaiji's visit.

It's just that she didn't expect that Zhu Zaiji was very polite and even polite.

not only sent study materials, but also told Wang Guifei that if there is anything missing, you can tell him...... He is now in and out of the palace at will, and he still has money, and it is natural to take care of his younger brother, which will be much more convenient.

He also promised to tutor his second brother in his homework, and he would also send him to school in the future to be an excellent prince.

As an elder brother, Zhu Zaiji's performance was unanimously praised by the palace...... His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is benevolent, studious, good-hearted, cherishes his brothers, and is a rare benevolent prince.

Just like most parents, Zhu Houxi always cares about others praising his son, and he is very pleased, he feels that this is his own credit, after all, without him, where would his son come from.

So Zhu Houxi was very excited and called his son over, "Father wants to reward you heavily!" ”

In the face of Zhu Houxi's gift, Zhu Zaiji seemed not very interested.

"Father, the child is the prince, the child does not need any reward, and between father and son, there is no need for reward, this is right...... The child hopes that the relationship with his father and son is more than that of the monarch and the minister. ”

Zhu Zaiji stared at Zhu Houxi, "Father, are you right?" ”

Zhu Houxi paused, reached out and hugged his son to his knees, and smiled.

"Yes, yes, but one thing is wrong...... You should call Daddy! ”

……

The next day, news came out from the palace that Fuyuan Bo Wangyue, because of his hard work, was specially promoted to the position of Marquis of Yuanyuan, and added the title of Prince Taibao to lead the military affairs of Annan in the north!

The official title, except for Yulu, is not very useful, but it makes people think about the military affairs of the northern border and Annan.

This thing is fresh!

One south and one north, separated by 108,000 miles, how does Wang Yue want to order?

And he himself is still teaching at the West Hill Academy...... One foot in the sky, one foot in the ground...... It's all unreliable, it's just a child's play.

Not to mention, they guessed right, this is indeed a child's idea.

"Master, it took me dozens of times to get it, shouldn't you give me some reward?" Zhu Zaiji had a flattering expression.

"Rewards? Would you like to reward you with a roll of the eye? ”

Zhu Zaiji grinned, "Anyway, disciples should be filial to their masters, rewards or not, you can watch it!" ”

Wang Yue sneered, "Boy, your methods are getting more and more powerful now, and your capital is getting bigger and bigger, you are really not afraid of losing money!" ”

Zhu Zaiji raised his head and said proudly: "Of course I'm not afraid, I have full confidence." ”

Wang Yue chuckled, he really appreciated this kid a little...... It's just that this point is still negligible, and soon, Wang Yue's attention was on Annan.

This small and powerful country, which was extremely proud in the past and claimed to have defeated the Great Yuan and the Ming Dynasty, finally completely collapsed under the dimensionality reduction blow of the Ming army's maritime power.

The Cham in the south was restored, and the land in the north fell into the situation of the division of the Li, Mo, and Zheng clans.

And above this, there is the garrison of the Ming Dynasty.

Wang Yue is no stranger to this situation.

There is a strong enemy outside, and there is a division inside...... If you don't do this, I'm sorry God!

Zhu Zaiji, this kid, really gave him a piece of big fat meat, but how to eat this piece of meat still has to take some thought......

After the restoration of the country, the Cham was in urgent need of force to protect themselves.

They wanted weapons, armor, ships, and especially firearms from the Ming Dynasty...... After all, they have lost their country, and it is easy to lose it again, how can they be willing to lose it again? There are even people who want to write a song called Cham Never Perish!

Therefore, the Cham side was willing to give one-third of their grain output in exchange for the weapons and protection of the Ming Dynasty.

Cham is the source of the legendary Champa rice, where the rice crops are three times a year, and the water and heat are abundant, even in the south of the Yangtze River, it is dwarfed.

Therefore, they provided 1.5 million stone rice to the Ming merchants at one time.

And Annan, who had just experienced the war, actually took out two million stone of grain in exchange for weapons from the Ming Dynasty...... Because their enemies are not only the Ming Dynasty, but also other powerful clans.

In fact, the threat of the latter is far greater than that of Daming!

Therefore, Qiu Luan, who was an incompetent coward, actually escorted 3.5 million stone rice, drifted across the sea, and landed in Tianjin.

It's just that the expected cheers did not appear, on the contrary, a team of soldiers and horses from the city came over, and after a brief inspection, they opened a list for Qiu Luan.

"In view of the presence of some insect eggs in these grains and rice, the safety situation is unknown, and the landing is not allowed for the time being!"

Qiu Luan was anxious, "What do you mean that you are not allowed to land?" ”

"If you are not allowed to land, you are not allowed to land, why are you asking so much?"

"Can it be done without asking? It's food! What should I do if I get wet, get moldy, and can't eat it because of the waves, heavy rain, and I can't eat it? Qiu Luan glared and asked angrily.

The other party just spread his hands and then drifted away.

His last look seemed to be smiling, as if to say that it was best not to eat it, so as to save us trouble!

Qiu Luan stared at this guy's back and spat viciously!

Grandma's, it's that Lao Tzu lost his title, otherwise, Lao Tzu can split you alive!

Qiu Luan couldn't figure it out, why couldn't he land in Tianjin with the grain he had worked so hard to get from Annan?

What about other places?

Jiaozhou, Ningbo, or Jinzhou?

There has to be a place to go, or he's going to lose money.

Even if the food is cheaper. Shipping costs are also scary.

It's really evil.

How can we not even sell food these days?

Qiu Luan couldn't figure it out, he stayed in Tianjin for seven days, and the people in the city did not get any better for him, on the contrary, they became more and more strict. It was even ordered that it was strictly forbidden for people on board to land.

They had worked hard to get back, there was not much water and food on the ship, and the dock was in front of them, but they couldn't get ashore...... What is this called?

Qiu Luan had to find a way to ask his sister Qiu Ying for help.

In the past few years, she and Miss Guo of the Wuding Hou family, as well as Miss Yang of the Yang family in Puzhou, and called the three richest women in the capital.

These three have their own talents, but without exception, they all have hands and eyes to the sky, and their energy is amazing.

"Sister, my brother's good sister! Hurry up and help my brother find a way! Yesterday, the people below told my brother that a ship had leaked, and the seawater seeping in had flooded the entire cabin of grain, and it was all good rice! Qiu Luan said viciously: "Although your brother has seen the world, I am really convinced that he wastes food like this!" ”

Qiu Luan was sad and angry, but Qiu Ying sighed helplessly.

"Brother, it's really not that my little sister won't help you, do you know? When this batch of grain arrives in Tianjin, how many people impeach you? ”

"Impeachment? Why impeach me? Are they those damn speakers again? Say that I am cruel, exploiting Annan, knocking out bones and sucking marrow? ”

Qiu Ying smiled bitterly, "What kind of crime is it to exploit Annan?" They dare to scold Emperor Xuanzong, even if you pick off their skins, people will only applaud. ”

"So, who am I messing with?" Qiu Luan was puzzled.

Qiu Ying said helplessly: "Of course it's the officials in those places." ”

"Magistrate?"

"Hmm!" Qiu Ying explained: "Big brother, now the grain prices of the Ming Dynasty are all based on Tianjin, and the grain prices in Tianjin are based on the stock market...... If you bring in so much grain, you will bear the brunt of it, and the price of grain will fall, and the purchase price of grain in various places will also fall, and the grain of the common people will not be sold at a price, can you not be angry and complain bitterly? ”

When Qiu Luan heard this, the whole person was stunned, he was stunned for a long time, and couldn't help touching his head, "Sister, when did we care so much about the people?" ”

Qiu Ying gave him a big white eye, his eldest brother is not a coward, but this incompetent problem really can't be changed.

"Big brother, if you read the newspaper a little, you won't be so ignorant!"

Qiu Luan was dumbfounded, "Then, what should I do?" I, I just got some food and came back, I thought I would definitely make money......" Qiu Luan was so anxious that he sweated.

"Sister, you help me find a way, even if it's only half the price, I'm willing to sell it!"

Qiu Ying paused, "Big brother, the cheaper you sell, the more you offend people?" Who dares to ask for it now! ”

"That'...... So who dares to ask for it? Qiu Luan said stupidly: "As long as someone wants it, it can be as much as it wants, and you can't fall into the sea!" ”

The corners of Qiu Ying's mouth turned up, revealing a gratifying smile, even if it was her own brother, she would do it correctly!
