This high-spirited man, with the momentum of looking at the world, pointed to the behemoth behind him and said with a smile, "Everyone, do you see it?" This is my Ming warship, the Mingwei, equipped with four main guns, eight secondary guns, and thirty-two machine guns. Just now you have seen its power, spread my will, spread it, if any more pirates want to harass my people, invade the waters of my Ming Dynasty, even if it is far away, it will be punished! ”

"Long live my emperor, long live, long live!"

The princes and ministers of the Ming Dynasty, who had just witnessed a massacre, all knelt down, chilling and proud in their hearts!

Zhu Di was very satisfied with the jealousy in the eyes of these people, he took Queen Xu's hand, walked forward, and said as he walked, "Everyone, let's get even!" ”

The dragon chariot was placed in front, but Zhu Di, who was already accustomed to the speed of the car, was reluctant to sit on the dragon chariot.

Because of the detour, visiting North Korea and Japan, straight to Jiangning, a total of more than ten days at sea, at this time, Zhu Di was a little tired and wanted to return to the palace in a hurry.

Zhu Di's car, out of the boat, slowly to his feet, Zhu Di and Xu got into the car, the convertible slowly started, leaving from the dock, the front and rear were tightly guarded armored vehicles, when walking through the crowd, the people who came to see the excitement shouted long live.

Zhu Di was very excited, he felt the need to give confidence to the people, stood up, and said again, "I hereby solemnly promise to you that my Ming warships are built by the people, from now on, but there are pirates and bandits who harass my Ming sea area, disturbs my Ming people, and robs my Ming property, and the Ming Navy will not let go!" ”

"Long live the emperor, long live, long live!"

When Zhu Di said this, he didn't think much of the "forbidden sea" ancestral system set up by his father Zhu Yuanzhang, what was he afraid of? First, I was not afraid of the Japanese invaders, and second, I did not plan to use some benefits to buy the worship of the surrounding small countries, so I said, "I know that if you are born by the sea, you will have to rely on the sea to eat. ”

Zhu Gaoxian was as shocked as all the ministers who heard it, he didn't expect that his father would so easily promulgate this national policy of buying the hearts of the people.

"At that time, Emperor Taizu ordered that the pieces should not go to the sea, and at that time, I was in ruins, and the court could not guarantee your safety, so I had to wronged my people in the Ming Dynasty, seeking other ways to live, and saving their lives first. Today, you have seen that my Ming sea warship is enough to protect you, and from now on, you will go to the sea to fish, and go to the sea! ”

"Your Majesty! Thank you, the grass people! After an old man got up, he bowed down heavily, moved to tears, and cried, "The grass people have cultivated the blessings of ten generations before they can be born in the Yongle years, long live the emperor, it is a blessing for us!" ”

"Long live the emperor, long live, long live!"

This mountain shout long live seems to be different from before, Zhu Di also heard it differently, he heard it in his ears, and there was an indescribable subtle feeling in his heart.

This is a sincere blessing from the people, they really hope that Zhu Di can live for 10,000 years, so that this peaceful and prosperous era can continue forever.

King Ning and the others knelt on the ground, they were also extremely shocked, he raised his head and looked at the fourth brother who was standing on the car and accepting the worship of the people, once, he felt that this fourth brother had the courage of a father, and at this time, he realized that the courage of the fourth brother was probably greater than that of his father.

The road from Jiangning to Yingtianfu has been repaired, and there are not many cars on the road all the way down, but for Zhu Gaoxian's safety, the car drove too fast, and it took about three hours.

In the evening, Zhu Di and Xu returned to the palace first, and Zhu Gaochi and other civil and military officials followed behind by car or boat.

Zhu Gaoxian was also too tired, the palace maid served, and after taking a bath, he ate a little casually, and then spread it on his father's dragon bed, not wanting to move.

Zhu Di wanted to accompany his son, so he didn't go back to Kunning Palace to find Xu.

On the huge dragon bed, there was a distance of more than a foot between the father and son, and seeing his son's eyes closed, Zhu Di was a little amused and asked, "Why don't you let someone come in and pinch it for you?" ”

"Dad, my son is not tired!" Zhu Gaoxian sat up, also a little curious, and asked, "Dad, the board is not allowed to go to the sea, it was the ancestral system set by the emperor's grandfather back then, and my father allowed the common people to go to the sea to fish today, to be honest, my son admires my father's courage." How did Dad come up with this? ”

Zhu Di leaned sideways, looking at his youngest son, who was no longer immature when he was a child, he couldn't help but raise his hand and stroke the top of his son's head, and said, "Dad now understands a truth, since he has become the emperor, he doesn't need to think too much, and it is better than anything else to let the people live a good life." ”

He was also deeply moved by the people today, "The people defend you, and no one dares to touch you in this world, isn't this the truth?" ”

Zhu Gaoxian was extremely shocked, he nodded solemnly and held his father's hand tightly, "Dad, you will be the greatest emperor in the past!" ”

Since the topic has been opened, Zhu Gaoxian said, "Dad, there is an emperor in later generations, that is, the Qing Dynasty, there is an emperor named Qianlong, he went to the south of the Yangtze River five times, and once when he was in Suzhou, he saw an endless stream of foreign merchant ships, and he was extremely afraid, and ordered that all other customs should be abolished except for the Guangdong Customs. That's a real retreat! ”

Zhu Di frowned, "He is a Yi clan and rules my entire Central Plains, so he must have been very scared in his heart and lacked confidence, so he made such a stingy move." ”

Zhu Gaoxian couldn't help laughing, "Dad, as soon as we want to earn silver, all the Yi people who come to my Ming Dynasty must pay customs duties if they want to trade, and all of these customs duties belong to the national treasury; Secondly, through these transactions, we can understand the foreign market, their science and technology, economic development, and know ourselves and the enemy! ”

Zhu Di nodded, "This is easy to do, this matter will be handed over to Xia Yuanji to prepare!" “

Early the next morning, Zhu Dichao, who had been absent from the court for nearly half a year, sat on the dragon chair again, he first affirmed the work done by Zhu Gaochi, the king of the prison country, and commended Zhu Gaochi with the words "I am very comforted", and did not promote Zhu Gaochi to the title.

Next, he arranged three things, "I plan to let Zheng He send an envoy to the West, one of them; Second, as I said on the dock, Zhu Gaoxu was responsible for preparing for the construction of the navy; Third, the opening of customs, that is, the former city shipping division! “

Zhu Di changed to a more comfortable posture on the dragon chair and sat down, "The reason why the name was changed to customs is to tell the people of the world that this is a checkpoint, and all people and goods who come in and go out must all be inspected by the customs, and there must be no people entering and leaving at will, nor any prohibited products." “

Xia Yuanji was the most sensitive to prohibited products, and stood up and said, "Your Majesty, dare to ask, in addition to guns and weapons, what are the other prohibited products?" ”

Zhu Di looked at Xia Yuanji with a smile, "I believe that except for traitors, there should be no one in my Ming Dynasty, and I am willing that other countries can catch up with my Ming in science and technology, right?" I hereby decree that all goods related to science and technology shall not be allowed to leave customs without my will. For example, bicycles, unless there is something better to replace bicycles, bicycles are eliminated, and only then can they be sold at a high price out of my Ming border. ”

"Your Ministers obey!"

Zhu Di said, "The matter of preparing for the establishment of the customs, I will leave it to Xia Yuanji to do it, and write the customs regulations clearly, but if anyone colludes abroad and leaks my Ming technology, remember, Zhu Jiu clan!" ”

Everyone was frightened, and even those who didn't have any thoughts in this area trembled when they heard this.

After Xia Yuanji received the order, he thought about it and went to see Zhu Gaoxian.

Zhu Gaoxian slept until three o'clock in the morning before getting up, so naturally he would not accompany his father to the morning court, but ran to his mother's place, had a good meal, and slowly reached the Jinshen Hall from Kunning Palace, ready to talk to his father and go back to the Ming Imperial Academy to have a look.

Three warships, for Zhu Gaoxian, it is enough to go to sea.

After all, this time, he just went to explore the way, find the source of the minerals, and pull those iron ores back later, it was not an overnight thing, but a long-term life.

Xia Yuanji was walking around the door of the Jinshen Palace, and when he saw Zhu Gaoxian, he hurriedly bent over, "Your Highness, the minister has something to ask His Highness!" ”

"What's the matter? For the customs business? ”

"Exactly, Your Highness is really smart, you can guess it!"

Zhu Gaoxian was a little speechless, "Lao Xia, when did you start learning this kind of sycophant?" You obviously know that the matter of opening customs is something I suggested my father to do, and you still have a clear conscience and use this matter to make a fool of yourself. ”

Xia Yuanji laughed, "Every time the minister wants to compliment His Highness a few words, he always can't find the opportunity. If nothing else, let's just say that this Ming warship, the minister would not dare to dream of doing this. ”

Zhu Gaoxian stood under the eaves of the corridor, standing with his hands behind his back, looking at the golden glazed tiles on the Fengtian Hall in front of him, "This is very simple, the only purpose of opening the customs, one is to enrich the treasury, and the other is to communicate with each other, the former does not need to be said, more than 25% of the tariffs, some things, 100% are not excessive, this is ordered according to their own needs; And it is very ingenious to communicate with each other, Lao Xia, we must always pay attention to every country in the world, even if it is a small country, how their technology and economy are, they can never let them surpass us. ”

He solemnly said to Xia Yuanji, "Remember, if you fall behind, you will be beaten!" ”

Xia Yuanji bowed and said solemnly, "Your Highness, the minister understands!" ”

I have to say that Zhu Gaoxian's constant pursuit of becoming stronger, with a wolf-like thinking mode, has a great conflict with the middle-of-the-road thinking mode inherited from the Ming Dynasty.

However, the sense of superiority after becoming stronger deeply stimulates them, making them involuntarily think about problems with a wolf-like thinking mode.

After becoming stronger, they can do whatever they want in this world.

"Lao Xia, I also have something to hand over to you, after the beginning of spring, I plan to go to sea, to a country called Australia, on the way will pass through some countries, all merchant ships that want to go to sea, can follow me, I escort for free."

Xia Yuan Jidu's heart was moved, but he knew that the young man in front of him never made a loss-making deal, and asked, "What are the conditions for Your Highness?" ”

"First, the land at home does not exceed 2,000 acres, and it is still too late to sell it to the imperial court, and second, the tariffs that should be paid cannot be less."

This is all beneficial to the household department, Xia Yuanji jumped up when he heard it, "Your Highness, the minister will do this, and I will help Your Highness do it!" ”

He rushed out two steps and came back again, "Your Highness, the household department also wants to do this business, is it okay?" ”

"This, you go to my father to discuss, I just have to go out, don't ask me about these nerve-wracking details, I want to eat meat recently, and my brain is not enough."

Xia Yuanji smiled and flattered, "Your Highness, there is a new cook in the minister's house, and he has done a good job of making Dongpo meat, if His Highness is willing to appreciate his face, the minister wants to invite His Highness to come to the minister's house and taste Dongpo meat." ”

Before Zhu Gaoxian could speak, two familiar voices came from behind him, "cough cough", he turned his head reluctantly, Zhu Di didn't know when, standing behind the red pillar, and saw that the two of them hadn't noticed him for a long time, so he reminded him.

Xia Yuanji seemed to be extremely frightened, he glanced at Zhu Di in horror, and quickly left on the grounds that he had something to do.

Zhu Di seemed to be watching Xia Yuanji go away, but in fact, a pair of eyes wanted to pierce Xia Yuanji, Zhu Gaoxian saw the clue, and couldn't help but laugh, "Dad, why did Lao Xia annoy you?" ”

The father and son walked towards the palace, and Zhu Di said, "Your imperial grandfather once set up an ancestral teaching, 'The Son of Heaven and the prince, the queen and the concubine, etc., must carefully choose a good family and hire him, and do not accept the ministers' entry, for fear that his fate will be treacherous, which is not conducive to the country', you are now getting older, you should remember this ancestral teaching, and you must not be confused by the ministers, let alone enter and leave the ministers' mansions casually." “

Zhu Gaoxian didn't know why his father's painting style suddenly changed, speaking of this, is it too good to protect the calf?

didn't bother to ask, Zhu Gaoxian only blindly agreed, "Yes, Dad, how can my son have the time and opportunity to go to the ministers' houses?" ”

When Zhu Di heard this, he seemed to remember this and asked, "Is that little girl from the Xiping Hou Mansion still in the Ming Imperial Academy?" What are you up to? ”

Zhu Gaoxian didn't defend it, thinking that his father was purely concerned about the little girl who had left home, and said, "I heard that I studied quite hard, and I have a little talent in circuitry, and I am already participating in the project." “

Zhu Di frowned and said, "The little girl's family, learn to sew and embroider, just be a good wife and mother, what do you do with this?" ”

Zhu Di originally thought that Mu Ruyan was in the Ming Imperial Academy to cultivate a relationship with his son, he and Xu, Xu was raised in the palace at a very young age, serving on the side of Queen Gao, he and Xu are also childhood sweethearts, the two have no guesses, after getting married, the relationship between husband and wife is very good.

Of course, Zhu Di hopes that his youngest son can have a wife who has grown up by his side since he was a child, knows the cold and the hot after marriage, and is like-minded.

"She must be bored, too." Zhu Gaoxian was stunned and asked in surprise, "What is Dad asking for?" There are so many people in the Son Academy, and the Son doesn't know everyone very well. ”

He just needs to know the progress of the projects in the academy, everyone is studying hard, doing things seriously, and whether there are any difficulties.

Zhu Di asked mysteriously, "Your mother wants to choose a family affair for you, and you also told your mother before that you want to choose a woman from a wealthy family as your wife, and my father wants to ask you, how is the girl of the Mu family?" I heard that you have touched the head of other girls? ”

Zhu Gaoxian's face inevitably turned red, "Dad, what's wrong with touching your head?" The son thinks she is very young. ”

"Seven years old don't sit at the same time, you touched the head of other people's girls, who do you want your girls to marry in the future?" Zhu Di's eyes widened, he looked at his son in disbelief, and deliberately frightened, "You can't do this kind of chaotic thing, Dad is still counting on the Mu family to guard in Yunnan, and the southwest is suitable for growing rubber, which is one of the most important materials for industrial development, or what you told Dad." Only when the Mu family is devoted to us, can Zhancheng and Annan be able to hold it. ”

In his previous life, Zhu Gaoxian did not get married, and he had a few relatives, and he found that girls did not have much desire for marriage, most of them were only hungry for his body, and he did not have much interest in satisfying the desires of others, and later he had little interest in this matter.

But this world is different, as a prince, he is the prince, the emperor of the future Ming Dynasty, and the inheritance is the most important responsibility of men in this era.

What's more, today's girls don't go out of the door, don't step out of the second door, and learn the four virtues wholeheartedly, in order to have a good husband and children after marriage.

These girls are relatively simpler.

Zhu Gaoxian said with a smile, "Dad, if you need your son to marry, your son doesn't matter." The girl of the Mu family is very good, and her son knows her very well, if she has no opinion, it is okay for her son to marry her. ”

"What does Daddy want you to marry? If you want to get married, your father won't let your second brother and third brother go to the union, and he wants you to connect? When you are older, you always have to consider this matter, if you have no opinion, your father will ask your mother to find a matchmaker to mention this matter with the Xiping Marquis Mansion. ”

Zhu Gaoxian didn't want to get married so early, so he told his father, "The marriage can be decided first, but if you get married, your son wants to be later." ”

In this regard, Zhu Di has no opinion, after all, there is still a third child, so far, there is no trace of the eight characters, nodding, "Dad knows!" ”

Only then did Zhu Gaoxian retire to his father, he was going to the Ming Imperial Academy.

The weather was still good, Zhu Gaoxian asked for a horse, and planned to sit on the horse and slowly reach the Ming Imperial Academy, so he went out of Chongli Street and went to Tongjimen Street, and a white-faced fat father-in-law came out of the restaurant next to him, stopped Zhu Gaoxian's horse, and the other party smiled, "Four Highnesses, the small one is the ingots around the Three Highnesses, and on the orders of the Three Highnesses, I came to invite the Four Highnesses to gather together." ”

Since it was the third brother who invited, Zhu Gaoxian had no reason to refuse, he got off the horse, threw the reins to Yuanbao, and walked in.

The shopkeeper personally greeted him, hunched over, and couldn't wait to put Zhu Gaoxian inside, "Fourth Highness, please come inside, the third highness is in the private room on the second floor, and the companions are all the nobles in Yingtianfu." “

"Got it!"

Zhu Gaoxian was at the corner of the stairs, raised his head, and saw the third brother who greeted him at the staircase, he took two quick steps and stepped forward, the two brothers shook hands affectionately, Zhu Gaosui gently punched Zhu Gaoxian on the shoulder, "I saw you yesterday and wanted to say hello to you, but I didn't have a chance." Today, it's a pick-up for you! ”

"Let's go, let's go inside!"

Behind Zhu Gaoxian, the dog handed a piece of broken silver to the shopkeeper as a reward, and the shopkeeper's hands held the silver as a reward, not to be greedy for this bit of silver, the key is that this silver is rewarded by the four highnesses.

Who doesn't know that His Royal Highness is the God of Wealth of the Ming Dynasty, and if you point it out, it will be an endless amount of silver.

The two brothers entered the private room hand in hand, and it was full of sons of princes and ministers, up to Zhu Panyan, Zhu Youjiao and other cousins, down to the son of Dingyuan Bo He Fu.

Seeing Zhu Gaoxian come in, everyone stood up to greet them, Zhu Youxian was extremely attentive, and came over to Zhu Gaoxian, "Fourth brother, it's really not easy to see you!" ”

"But no, today, we also begged the king of Sujun for a long time, and the king of Sujun promised to let Yuanbao go out to greet him."

Zhu Gaoxian smiled and said, "My third brother invites me, how can I not come?" ”

This gave Zhu Gaosui a lot of face, Zhu Gaosui finally looked at this fourth brother a little more pleasing to the eye, and thought about it again, his fourth brother is young but extremely wise, among the four brothers, Zhu Gaoxian kissed his second brother a little, if it wasn't for Zhu Gaoxian's support, would it be Zhu Gaoxu's turn to be the general of the expedition and prepare for the construction of the navy?

This truth is understood, because everyone looks at Zhu Gaoxian with a completely different gaze than before, and no one can regard him as a prince specializing in scientific research.

"Come, come, sit!" Zhu Gaosui pulled his younger brother to his side, beckoned and shouted, "Everyone sit and talk." ”

A total of three tables were opened, and the Zhu Gaosui brothers were naturally the main seats at the main table, and under the north window, there were two singers wearing tulle, heavy makeup, and holding pipa in their arms, singing "Lock the South Branch":

"Silly Junjiao, my brother! and a piece of yellow mud to pinch the two of us. Pinch one for you, pinch one for me. The pinching seems to be alive, and the pinching comes to rest in the same bed......"

The singing and lyrics usually sound blood-pumping, but at this time, no one listens.

Zhu Youjiao thought that the two girls were noisy, threw a silver ticket out, and waved his hand in disgust, "Go out, go out, don't make noise here!" ”

The two girls hurriedly picked up the silver ticket and went out with the pipa in their arms.

The private room finally quieted down, Zhu Youjiao let people serve wine and food, and first led everyone to toast Zhu Gaoxian, Zhu Gaoxian smiled, "My mother doesn't let me drink, I replace wine with tea, thank you for your kindness, just say anything directly!" ”

Even if Zhu Gaoxian didn't drink, these noble sons and brothers still saluted three times in a dignified manner, and the private room quieted down again, and only Zhu Gaosui's voice could be heard.

"Fourth brother, they elected the third brother to be the leader, and the third brother said it bluntly with brotherhood!"

Zhu Gaoxian said with a smile, "Third brother, if you are still polite to me as a younger brother today, I will go back to the palace at this time, and let the queen mother comment on it, where did my brother accidentally offend my brother!" ”

"Good!" Zhu Gaosui picked up the wine glass, drank it all, and showed the bottom of the cup to everyone, he was particularly bold, drank three cups in one go, put the cup on the table, and made a clanging sound, "The three cups of tea of the king's younger brother just now, I made it up for him as the elder brother, do you still have any opinions?" ”

"The prince of the county is bold!" Someone took the lead in giving a thumbs up, but everyone's eyes were still full of expectation, obviously hoping that Zhu Gaosui would speak as soon as possible.

"Fourth brother, you are my own brother, the younger brother of a mother's compatriot, you say, is it unfair for you to be a younger brother?" Zhu Gaosui snorted with wine, "The eldest brother is the king of the prison country, the second brother is now receiving an errand, the fourth brother, you are engaged in scientific research, only the third brother and I have nothing to do now!" ”

Zhu Gaoxian smiled and said nothing, turning the teacup in his hand, listening slowly, although until now, no one told him what this Hongmen banquet was, and he already had an answer in his heart.

"Before, I went to the Ming Imperial Academy to find you, and asked if you could help, you said no, everyone will comment, do you see my brother too much?"

Zhu Gaoxian picked up the teacup, "If the younger brother does something wrong, the third brother, you have to take care of it more, the younger brother is young, he is a good person, there are always shortcomings, the third brother is not very tolerant, who else can the younger brother count on?" ”

"Good!" Zhu Gaosui picked up the wine glass, drank it all again, and said, "This is the brother!" Then tell me, Xia Yuanji said, where are the Ming warships going to sea? ”

Zhu Gaoxian smiled, looked around with surging eyes, and said slowly, "Going to a very distant place, passing through some countries, the conditions, I have already made it clear." The sea was stormy and there was a life-and-death struggle, I thought the third brother didn't want to go, so I didn't tell the third brother in advance. ”

These words were not so much for Zhu Gaosui as for the sons of these princes and ministers, but judging from the indifferent expressions of these people and the blazing light still emanating from their eyes, it was obvious that they did not listen.

It can only be said that these people have a blind admiration for warships.

Do these people think that a single iron ship can withstand all the storms on the sea?

Up to now, Zhu Gaoxian has not announced to the subjects of the Ming Dynasty that he intends to personally go to sea on this warship, visit some countries along the way, and go to Australia to "buy" iron ore!

Someone couldn't hold his breath, and Zhu Youjiao said dissatisfiedly, "Fourth brother, you said, why do you want to restrict conditions for such a good thing as going to sea?" The family's land is less than 2,000 acres, and if you go to sea, you have to pay tariffs, and I heard that the cheapest tariffs cost 20%, which ...... How much money can you earn by going out to sea? ”

That's why I don't let you go out casually!

Zhu Gaoxian said with a smile, "It's easy, you can count these two percent of the tariff on the selling price, and there is always a big boss to help everyone pay!" As for the fields, it would not be cost-effective for a wealthy household with more than 2,000 acres of land to go to sea at all, and in case he died in a storm, it would not be worth it. ”

"What about us?" Zhu Youjiao asked, "Fourth brother, we want to go to sea to have a look, and we don't do business, is it okay?" ”

Zhu Gaoxian smiled and nodded, "I have no opinion, as long as your parents agree, there is an old saying, parents are here, don't travel far, what does this have to do with me?" If your ships follow the warships of the Ming Dynasty and encounter pirates, for the sake of your fellow countrymen, they will not watch you die at the hands of pirates. ”

After Zhu Gaoxian finished speaking, he took the teacup in his hand and drank it all, as if he had finished drinking wine, he showed everyone the bottom of the cup, and then glanced at Zhu Gaosui deeply, and said, "I'm sorry, there are still a lot of things to deal with in the academy, so I'm out of company!" ”

No one thought that things would go so smoothly, as soon as Zhu Gaoxian left, Zhu Youjiao and others discussed, "I think it's feasible, this time to go to sea, if you explore the way, there is no need to bring a lot of valuable things, our main purpose is to see, what is the God of Wealth of the Ming Dynasty going to sea?" ”

Someone asked Zhu Gaosui, "King Sujun, are you sure that His Royal Highness is going to sea in person?" ”

"Yes, I finally found out this news, I treat you as brothers, so I told you, don't talk about it casually outside."

"Which of you else is going? Let's sum it up, what kind of goods do we bring? ”

"His Royal Highness said that if you bring goods, you need to pay customs duties, in case you can't earn back 20% of the tax, wouldn't it be a loss? I mean, let's just take a small amount of goods with us, go out with the Four Highnesses to see it, pretend that those goods are just our luggage, and when we go out, we will know which ones make money and which ones don't. ”

"That's a great idea!"

The sons all looked at Zhu Gaosui, Zhu Gaosui was stunned for a moment, and said with a smile, "What are you watching me do?" Today's help, I can only help here, I won't tell you, just now, my fourth brother must have been angry, he felt that I brought you here to threaten him! ”

Zhu Youjiao arched his hand and said, "We all remember your kindness to us, rest assured, we will spare no effort to help you when you need it in the future." ”

There was a deep meaning in the words, Zhu Gaosui smiled with satisfaction, and picked up the wine glass, "Come, drink, if you have anything else, I won't say much, after the dinner, everyone is busy with their own things, time is running out, and you have to hurry up to make money!" ”

Zhu Gaoxian came out of the restaurant, walked not far, and met Shen Chunhong, he proposed to invite Shen Chunhong to dinner, Shen Chunhong said, "Hey young, my lord, why do you want to break the bank, the little one has been waiting here for a long time, thinking that the master should go to the academy today, I don't dare to move, for fear of missing it." ”

The two entered a teahouse, and Shen Chunhong asked people to go up to a pot of Shifeng Longjing, "Fourth master, what preparations should the little one make for going to sea this time?" ”

Zhu Gaoxian thought for a while, "If you have someone who can be useful, recommend it to me." In the future, several major processes, such as injection molding, welding, stamping, extrusion and coating, will be developed, and we will need to produce equipment, and we also need to train manpower. ”

In the past, it was the era of small batch production, and in the future, we will gradually enter the era of large industry.

Shen Chunhong thought for a while and said boldly, "Your Highness, the little one wants to recommend the little fifth brother Agarwood Bao." ”

He has never dared to recommend the fifth brother, because he is afraid that Zhu Gaoxian will be jealous, and the people under his command are all people from the Shen family, if they collude, it will be unfavorable to the master.

Of course, it is impossible for him to collude with the fifth brother no matter what.

But if Zhu Gaoxian is really jealous, then he will lose more than he gains.

Zhu Gaoxian pondered for a moment, which made Shen Chunhong very uneasy, he regretted recommending his younger brother, the family is much better than before, and the days are slowly booming again, he helps the fourth master do things, and the fifth brother does some chores at home, which is actually very perfect.

But, who doesn't want to climb the dragon and attach the phoenix to make contributions?

The fifth brother mentioned the Fourth Highness in front of him several times, intentionally or unintentionally, and the obvious envy in his words made Shen Chunhong unable to ignore it, fellow brother, Shen Chunhong was soft-hearted and impulsive for a while.

"In this way, let me tell you the truth, I am indeed very short of people, this time I plan to personally lead the team to go to sea, to go to an overseas continent to establish an iron ore base, I need very capable people."

In a distant foreign land, if you want to deal with the local natives, you must first learn to protect yourself, and then you can help him do things well.

Shen Chunhong's eyes lit up, and he couldn't help but say, "Your Highness, when my father was here in the past, he specially asked a martial artist to teach the fifth brother, and he still has some kung fu. ”

Zhu Gaoxian's eyes also lit up, Daming's fire gun is enough to deal with those natives in Australia, but the fire gun is only an external force, if a person can have his own kung fu, compared to the power of the chicken, at a critical time, it must be one more life!

"That's a good thing!" Zhu Gaoxian said, "You take the time to tell your fifth brother about this matter, if he is still willing, you can bring him to see me, I have been in the academy recently." ”

Shen Chunhong naturally agreed in a hurry, Zhu Gaoxian got up and walked out of the door, and when he arrived at the door, he remembered and said, "If you want to sail, you have to make this clear." ”

Shen Chunhong said, "My father used to go to sea often, and my fifth brother followed him to sea, although he was still young at that time, he had a natural passion for sailing. “

I see!

Zhu Gaoxian said, "This is your loyalty, and it is a good thing to be virtuous and not avoid relatives." That's it! ”

Sent Zhu Gaoxian to the door, sent him on the horse, Shen Chunhong looked at him and walked away, and then returned.

He just went upstairs, and there was a woman standing at the door, she looked at the direction Zhu Gaoxian left, and didn't even see the hem of her robe, so she was naturally very sorry in her heart, stomped her foot lightly, and said to her father, "Dad, didn't you mention that incident again?" ”

Shen Chunhong looked at his daughter, shook his head helplessly, and said, "How do you ask your father to mention this kind of thing?" Xue'er, I asked you to go to the Ming Imperial Academy to find His Highness, but you don't want to pull down your face to find it, and Dad really can't pull down this old face. ”

Today, in order to recommend his fifth brother, Shen Chunhong has already used the power of the wilderness, and if he recommends his daughter again, he is afraid of angering Zhu Gaoxian.

Shen Ruoxue squeezed the handkerchief tightly, her face was full of darkness, "I heard that the girl from the Xiping Marquis Mansion has been in the Ming Imperial Academy, before, Miss Mu had an accident in the palace, and it was His Royal Highness who helped her out of the siege." ”

I thought that Miss Mu's reputation would be ruined, but with the maintenance of the Four Highnesses, everyone is stammering Miss Mu, who makes it possible for Miss Mu to see the Four Highnesses among the girls in Yingtianfu right now?

Shen Chunhong sighed, "It's good that you know." In the past, my father didn't know about the Fourth Highness, but now, our Shen family is really not suitable to send people to the Fourth Highness. ”

"Dad, why?" Shen Ruoxue raised her head in surprise, her wonderful eyes were full of tears, obviously unwilling.

"Dad just recommended your fifth uncle to His Royal Highness. The Fourth Highness is a person who does great things, when he uses people, he simply uses this person's talent to trust, he doesn't need to use these nepotism to bind anyone, if you have a fate with the Fourth Highness, Dad will naturally raise his hands in favor, but if there is no fate, Dad will never mention a word to you in His Royal Highness. ”

Shen Chunhong said, "In the future, your brother, if His Royal Highness can look down on him, he will naturally help His Royal Highness to work hard, even if he is a cow and a horse, it is also the honor of my Shen family, if he does not have this ability, His Royal Highness is a person who misses the old, and it must be enough to protect your brother's generation." ”
