Chapter 612: Return
Whether Egypt will be annexed by other countries in the future is no longer something Tang Ming needs to take care of, and now he just wants to rush back to Jeju Island as soon as possible and live his free life. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
After two days of recuperation, Zheng He's body finally recovered a lot, but he has always been haunted by this capture, and he always felt that Tang Ming had gone to such great lengths to save himself, and he made a little fuss, but fortunately, he got a lot of wealth in the end, which made Zheng He somewhat comforted.
When he set off, Tang Ming was anxious about Zheng He's safety, he was traveling day and night, and now that Zheng He was safe, his subordinates did not lose much, and they unexpectedly gained a lot of wealth. When I went back, I was naturally not as rushed as I was when I came.
Tang Ming, who had just left Zheng He's house, ran into Zhu Gaochi at the door, and this guy's fat face was so smiling that his eyes narrowed into a slit.
With Tang Ming's understanding of him, he could think of what he was doing when he came to find him, and sure enough, Zhu Gaochi pulled Tang Ming to a remote place, and said with a smile: "You said, my brother is right!" ”
"To put it bluntly, I, Tang Ming, am not an insatiable person, and such a large amount of wealth is not something I can swallow alone."
Tang Ming's words were like a reassuring pill, Zhu Gaochi was not in a hurry now, and with a smile on his face, he estimated in his heart how much he should take.
Tang Ming didn't bother him, and let him think about it, the rich Egyptian treasury was emptied, and he also brought a lot of fierce fire oil and gunpowder, which were enough to fill the entire fleet.
With so many things, Tang Ming definitely couldn't take them all, and besides, the ship and people were always Zhu Gaochi, including the supporting materials, and the cost was not small. Naturally, he would not let Zhu Gaochi suffer in this matter, he already had the bottom in his heart, as long as he had a quarter of these wealth, he would be enough.
But throwing out his bottom line all of a sudden, it is obviously not his style, maybe Zhu Gaochi will ask for less. After all, no one is afraid of money!
After a long time, Zhu Gaochi finally made up his mind, and said with a serious face: "I want half of it, and then deduct my expenses from your other half, how about this!" ”
Zhu Gaochi was indeed a little more, but after Tang Ming thought about it carefully, he also felt that it was about the same, nodded and agreed. Zhu Gaochi obviously didn't expect it to go so smoothly, and after being stunned for a moment, he reacted, and said with a smile: "The prince is really a cheerful person, thanks to you, I don't need to worry about the empty treasury after I go back this time." In order to show gratitude, after returning to Daming, if you need something, just say, I will definitely not put it back. ”
"In this case, the minister will thank the emperor first!" Tang Ming was also not polite, money was not of much use to him now, what he needed now was something, something rare and rare.
In this era, most of the bulk transactions are still mainly bartered, and sometimes there is more money than you can buy things. This time, it is rare for Zhu Gaochi to boast about Haikou, and he will definitely not miss such a good opportunity.
As soon as the matter was negotiated, the two went to drink and celebrate, and they would always be bored after staying on the boat for a long time, and from the tenth day of the return trip, Zhu Gaochi began to hate the sea.
In this army, there is nothing for him to entertain every day, even mahjong, and it is very painful to stay up like this day by day.
Zhu Gaochi really didn't want to stay up any longer, and after persuading Tang Ming to do the same, several people took two spaceships back to Daming first, and the fleet was handed over to Fei Xin to arrange.
Two days later, in the morning, in the soft sunlight, the spacecraft landed steadily in the palace. The people who had already received the news and came to greet them, under the hugs of the front and back, Zhu Gaochi was soon carried to the harem.
Tang Ming left the palace and returned to his fiefdom after saying goodbye to Zhu Neng and others, and he could not return to Jeju Island directly. Also going to the fiefdom with him was Zheng He, and since this incident, Zheng He has obviously become a lot quieter.
That night, Tang Ming specially arranged a table of good wine and food to drink with Zheng He, and took the opportunity to explain: "Why does my father-in-law seem to have something on your mind when he sees you, and when he sees that you don't talk much, is he still worried about Egypt's affairs?" ”
Zheng He looked up at the bright moon above his head, suddenly picked up the wine glass and drank it all, and said with a smile: "My father-in-law suddenly feels that he is really old, maybe the miscellaneous family should follow the master and his old man in the future and learn Buddhism." This is the end of this voyage, and it should be to guard little Jasmine and enjoy the joy of family. ”
"That's a good idea, Jasmine's girl has been thinking about you, and she will be very happy to go back this time. The kid also wants to arrange all the things on Daming's side, and is ready to stop taking care of things, wouldn't it be good for us to live a carefree life as a family in the future. ”
Tang Ming had yearning in his eyes at the moment, and what he was thinking about was that in the future, the family would find a place with beautiful mountains and rivers and live a carefree and carefree life every day.
Zheng He looked at Tang Ming in surprise, and said dissatisfiedly: "You are still young now, it is the time of the sun, you don't want to think about how to work hard for the country, but you are messing with us old men. ”
This is obviously that only the state officials are allowed to set fires and the people are not allowed to light the lamps, Tang Ming pursed his lips and said: "Who said that I am now in the middle of the day?" How to say that I am also the father of several children, and my father-in-law doesn't know it, but there are two more people in the family. And the little wife Bai Xiaolan is also pregnant now, and it is estimated that she will be able to add a little after the beginning of spring next year. ”
When it came to family affairs, Zheng He suddenly didn't care about Tang Ming's affairs in the officialdom, and laughed and asked about the children.
When people are old, they spend their lives wandering outside, for the country and their families, and finally find that they have nothing to sustenance, so they spend their energy on their children.
Zheng He has obviously let go of the obsession in his heart, and is also equipped to welcome the upcoming family happiness. In this world, those who are big officials in the court, especially the more powerful they are, will not end well in their old age.
Yao Guangxiao is obviously an example, although he is doing well now, but Tang Ming doesn't know how lonely he is. Zhu Di's death, many former friends of the DPRK and China were either raided by Zhu Gaochi or beheaded in the last Jianwen incident.
The situation is changing, the day and night are not guaranteed, what if the things in the court are even if you become the emperor? Either the country is in turmoil or the harem is unstable, and in the end, there will be a child fighting for power, not to mention the troubles, and I can't even live a little idle life, so what is there to run for in life.
In the courtyard, Zheng He and Tang Ming talked happily, and they dispersed until the early hours of the morning. (To be continued.) )
