Chapter 492: Go to the Black Tooth Country to dig for gold
Only then did Lu Ning tell Zhu Yuanzhang everything he had done in Fengyang.
After listening, Zhu Yuanzhang laughed loudly before saying to Lu Ning.
"Zi'an is really brave and resourceful, and he loves the people like a son, such an approach really makes the father happy, we have a son like you, it is a blessing for the Ming Dynasty."
Lu Ning was indeed a little embarrassed, he said to Zhu Yuanzhang with a smile.
"Father, don't praise me anymore, if you praise me again, I'll be about to float."
Only then did Zhu Yuanzhang accept the look of joking just now and said to Lu Ning.
"Zi'an, do you know what task we have for you when we call you back this time?"
Seeing Zhu Yuanzhang's serious expression, Lu Ning couldn't help but be a little speechless, and he said.
"Father, I've been out on a business trip for so long, I can't ignore my family when I come back, and besides, the three ladies in my family are pregnant, so don't let me go on a business trip recently."
Zhu Yuanzhang shook his head, he looked at Lu Ning helplessly and said.
"How can you kid think that? The eldest husband is a family all over the world, and he can't always take care of the personal feelings of his children, so I will give you two more days off, and save a lot of warmth with your wives, so you should do what you want. ”
Lu Ning asked Zhu Yuanzhang a little speechlessly.
"I don't know where my father wants his son to go on a business trip now, I kind of understand, I can't stay in this Tianfu anymore."
Zhu Yuanzhang smiled, and then said solemnly to Lu Ning.
"We heard that your fleet passed through the Black Tooth Country, that place is rich in oil and gold, and even a lot of diamonds, why don't you go there, go there to mine oil and refine gold, and also dig deep diamonds, and bring more wealth to our Daming."
Lu Ning also sighed, and said that his father was really a little greedy, but he could only respond.
"Then you have to let me stay at home for a few more days before I go out, or it will be strange if those women let me go."
Only then did Zhu Yuanzhang say that he would let Lu Ning go back and prepare by himself, and not delay too much time.
When Lu Ning returned home, he saw several women in the family playing mahjong there.
Ever since Mrs. Goodna, everything in the house has been kept in order.
Moreover, Qi Miaoyi is also accustomed to the identity of a housekeeper, and takes special care of Lu Ning's house.
Therefore, even if Lu Ning is not at home, the house is well organized, and there is no disorder.
At this time, after Lu Ning returned home, everyone felt that since he came back this time, he should stay at home for a while.
He let out a long sigh and said to the women.
"I also want to stay at home for a few more days and accompany you well, but the emperor's order is not free, my father asked me to go to the country of black shame, so I can only take the order to go, and I will leave in a few days."
Everyone also knew that since it was the emperor's order, there was naturally no room for bargaining, so they didn't say anything more.
In the evening, Lu Ning called his old friend Liu Changlu over, and the two drank tea and chatted together.
Although Liu Changlu was a baron at this time, his actual position was only a long history in Lu Ning's mansion.
He was the same as at the beginning, and was called his brother by Lu Ning.
But now Lu Ning is not the same in Changning County, he is the righteous son of the emperor's income jade, and he is the prince of the imperial court.
Liu Changlu knows very well that the identities of the two have long been different.
Because of this, he was also a little unable to let go of his figure in front of Lu Ning, and all kinds of restraints were also obvious.
Lu Ning shook his head helplessly, and he said directly to Liu Changlu.
"Brother Liu, don't you regard me as a friend anymore? Could it be that if there is a change in identity and status, everything will not change, and we are not brothers in distress! ”
Liu Changlu was also a little speechless, he knew that Lu Ning had not changed, but the other party's current status was too high.
"Although His Royal Highness has not changed, but there are rules and regulations in the court, you are the prince, I am just a long history in the palace, if there is no courtesy, it is trampling on the system of the court, I can't do this."
Lu Ning sighed and whispered to Liu Changlu.
"The ancients said that poor and lowly friends should not be forgotten, and the wife of the bad chaff will not go to court, will I be an exception, and if you didn't take care of me when I was in Changning, how could I be where I am today."
Liu Changlu heard Lu Ning's heartfelt words, so he relieved himself and said.
"If my brother says so, if I still have some restraint with you, it will be hypocritical, but in front of outsiders, you still can't lose the rules of the court."
Lu Ning nodded, and then he told Liu Changlu.
"Although I am inviting my brother to drink tonight, it is not just for drinking, I still have something to discuss with you."
Liu Changlu nodded, and then told Lu Ning very solemnly.
"What is there to discuss, our brother's friendship, I just listen to what you say, you just have to command, I don't have anything to disagree."
Lu Ning just smiled, and then told Liu Changlu.
"I also thought, this time, since there are already Mrs. Goodna and Qi Miaoyi in charge of affairs in the mansion, your long history is actually idle, so it is better to go out with me to brush up on experience, and when the time comes, I will be promoted."
At this time, Liu Changlu understood in his heart that the imperial court had asked Lu Ning to go to the Black Tooth Country to dig for wealth, which was a very good errand.
You can accumulate a huge amount of money for Daming at once, and the people who go to the Black Tooth Country this time will naturally be able to make great contributions, and it is not a problem to come back and be knighted.
At this moment, Lu Ning wanted to take him to the Black Tooth Country, in fact, to give him a chance to be promoted to an official position and title.
Liu Changlu naturally agreed, and he was also very grateful in his heart, so he took the wine and drank it all.
"Now I don't have much to say, it's all in this wine, it's my luck to have a brother like Zi'an!"
