Chapter 431: Royal Domineering

Although he was at a loss when he asked, in fact, he had a rough idea of what Zhu Jianchun wanted to say next, and even the emperor's Zhang Yi had a rough idea in his heart.

However, there was still an ignorant look of not knowing anything on his face, which made Zhu Jianchun a little irritable about this person who pretended to be confused.

"What Grandpa Huang means is that if Brother Zhang wants to keep the Jiangning Daily, he must meet the conditions you put forward, and provide peppers for the army in the north for free."

This is the first time that Zhang Yi knows about this thing that he wants to keep his own things and pay conditions in exchange.

Although it is such a slander, Zhang Yi himself understands in his heart that Emperor Hongde's request is already a concession, otherwise, if he wants to rob it, then Zhang Yi has no good way to deal with it.

"How many troops are there in the north? How long do I have to supply? Forever available? ”

Let's not talk about providing peppers for the army in the north like this, Zhang Yi is not at a loss, even if Zhang Yi is willing, there are not so many peppers that cannot be grown in the place on the other side of the villa.

didn't expect Zhang Yi's reaction to be so fast, Zhu Jianchun was stunned for a moment, and then the corners of his lips were a smile that he couldn't suppress.

"There are 500,000 troops stationed in the north, and according to the emperor's grandfather's intentions, Brother Zhang wants to provide them with chili peppers permanently."

The corners of his mouth twitched visibly, and Zhang Yi felt that he had a little stomach pain.

"What do you say? It was so windy that I didn't hear clearly. ”

Half a million troops?

Do you want to provide chili peppers permanently?

Are you kidding!

If this is the case, I am afraid that Zhang Yi will not have to do anything in his life, just grow peppers for the rest of his life.

That's why the heart of the emperor is black!

Staring at Zhu Jianchun, Zhang Yi's expression can be said to be very ugly.

Without Zhang Yi saying anything, Zhu Jianchun knew that it was absolutely impossible for Zhang Yi to agree to this request.

The reason why I said this was just a temptation ordered by the emperor.

Coughed twice, "Little brother knows, this method is a little difficult for Brother Zhang, why don't you change the method?" ”

As soon as he saw Zhu Jianchun like this, Zhang Yi knew that this negotiation was not the arbitrariness of the imperial power as he thought, the emperor made the possibility of concessions, and as long as Zhang Yi was a little tougher, I believe that the loss could be minimized.

But this degree must also be grasped, if it is too serious and provokes the other party, it will be a gain that outweighs the loss for Zhang Yi.

"You say."

Seeing Zhang Yi like this, Zhu Jianchun knew that it was his own hint that worked, and smiled at Zhang Yi, Zhu Jianchun opened his mouth and said.

"What the imperial grandfather means is that if Brother Zhang can't get these chili peppers, let Brother Zhang contribute some of the chili seeds, and let the people in the north plant them when the time comes."

This is relatively easy for Zhang Yi, but Zhu Jianchun scared him like this just now, if Zhang Yi doesn't fight back, it won't be Zhang Yi.

"That's fine, but I have one condition."

"Brother Zhang, please speak."

In Zhu Jianchun's opinion, their side has already given in, and Zhang Yi should not make too many demands, if it is an ordinary matter, Zhu Jianchun will also make the decision and agree to Zhang Yi.

"It's very simple, I'm in charge of sending people to teach the people over there to plant chili peppers, but this manpower is still mine, and I will return it when the time comes, along with the seeds after the chili peppers are harvested."

twitched the corner of his mouth slightly, "Brother Zhang really doesn't suffer a loss." ”

Zhu Jianchun didn't know whether it was praise or sarcasm, and Zhang Yi took it as his appreciation.

"Of course, I'm a businessman."

Zhang Yi is the only one who can say the identity of a businessman, none of the merchants Zhu Jianchun saw before were not ashamed of their identity as businessmen, like Zhang Yi, who obviously has a layer of talent, but he brazenly said that he was a businessman.

Zhu Jianchun has not seen it yet.

Fortunately, Zhu Jianchun didn't say such a complaint, otherwise Zhang Yi's words would have blocked Zhu Jianchun from having nothing to say.

In Zhang Yi's view, the identity of a businessman is not very shameful, and he will not be lowly because of his status.

Even if he didn't say it, Zhang Yi could see Zhu Jianchun's thoughts from Zhu Jianchun's demeanor.

didn't argue much with Zhu Jianchun, Zhang Yi just said meaningfully: "What can be respected is always behavior, not identity." ”

If you want to put such a truth on the emperor, then Zhang Yi didn't say it.

Although the emperor is also divided into bright and faint kings, but now that the emperor is still alive, Zhang Yi can't say anything.

Looking at Zhang Yi's appearance as if he didn't know what he was talking about, Zhu Jianchun lowered his eyes and looked thoughtful.

For a long time, when Zhang Yi thought that Zhu Jianchun would not respond, Zhu Jianchun nodded to Zhang Yi, "Okay, the junior brother will make the decision and agree to Brother Zhang's request." ”

"That's right."

Not as thankful as others, Zhang Yi felt that he took all the things he deserved.

"Your imperial grandfather really promised that I could incorporate the tasks of reporter editors into the imperial court?"

Things have happened, but Zhang Yi still feels a little uncertain, this matter is really a little fluttering.

It's just that it's not Zhang Yi who accepts his fate.

However, Zhang Yi still has privileges, that is, under certain circumstances, these editors and reporters can be fired, and when the court is big, Zhang Yi's privileges are comparable to those of powerful ministers who can dismiss others.

didn't expect that the emperor promised to do this, Zhu Jianchun was stunned for a moment, and then realized why he did this.

Once the Jiangning Daily is incorporated into the imperial court, it means that the emperor has absolute rights in the Jiangning Daily, and there is no need to worry about Zhang Yiyang violating the law.

said that it was a thing that was beneficial to Zhang Yi, but as everyone knows, this is also a very beneficial point for the emperor.

"The younger brother guessed that it should be a report in the Jiangning Daily that day that made the people scramble to buy grain that the emperor knew."

It's just a fluttering manuscript, which can make the people believe in Zhisi, which also shows the credibility of Jiangning Daily among the people.

If the emperor doesn't want to take over, it's abnormal.

Just like Zhang Yi said, there is no emperor who does not cherish his feathers, even if he is a faint monarch, he cares a little bit about his reputation, otherwise, there will not be so many kings in history who try to tamper with history.

And Zhang Yi, with Jiangning Daily, it shows that he has credibility, if he wants to break the net with the emperor.
