After Chen Xun left, Zhu Zhanyan did not leave in a hurry, but went to his father with a secret letter.

"No, Daddy."

The old royal palace of Siam is similar to the palace of Yingtianfu in the Ming Dynasty in terms of design (in fact, no information can be found), Zhu Zhanqi, the eldest son, lives in the east, that is, the east palace of the Siam royal palace, and his father and mother live in the west.

As soon as Zhu Zhanyan came to the West Palace, he saw a scene that made him feel unbalanced.

His father and mother were chanting and worshipping the Buddha, and Zhu Zhanyan, who was scented with sandalwood, was disgusted.

"I found out that I couldn't be at home, and as soon as I was at home, you left everything to me!"

Zhu Zhanyan snorted angrily as he threw the secret letter in his hand to his father.

"Aren't you much better at this kind of thing than I am?" Zhu Gaoxu didn't care about putting down the Qianzhi and Buddha beads in his hand, and picked up the secret letter thrown by his son.

"It's like your grandfather, with Natsuhara Yoshi, when did you see him meddling in the affairs of the transfer department?"

"There are obviously people who can do better and more complete, why bother with that? The problem is that I don't necessarily handle it as well as you do. ”

"No, Mahamu was just our first reaction, and in fact we can't be sure if this is the decision of the three kings of Warat."

"It's time for the tea and horse market again this year, last time it was Sanfeng and them who went, this time you sent Sanfeng and them out, and I let Li Heng lead the team over in accordance with the previous rules."

After all, what about the actual living situation of the old man's son's family, how could Ma Qi be allowed to wander outside?

This...... It's very problematic.

"What are you going to do with these people, though?"

But understanding is understanding, and practice is practice.

"Don't look down on corn if you have sweet potatoes, don't forget, our Ming Dynasty was not actually short of food before, but the food went to those who didn't need food, but used food to make money."

"Hmm...... Probably...... You can be ranked third among the eunuchs, right? ”

For a long time, their father and son actually didn't have any ill feelings towards the old man, although the old man was biased at the beginning, but they also understood that it was just not smooth in their hearts.

"This is the news that Zhu Heng got from Kansai Qiwei."

"Procurement envoy, I know he is a procurement envoy, but I don't know what he is procuring at all, I thought you had arranged it!"

After a long time, Zhu Gaoxu sighed and changed the topic.

Zhu Zhanyan was silent.

"There are all great plains washed out by the Ganges River, and there are still many places that have not been developed, just thrown over to reclaim wasteland."

"There are a lot of good things in the Eastern Chagatai Khanate, and there are a lot of minerals, but it is difficult to take them down, and the most important thing is that if they are taken down, the direct beneficiaries have nothing to do with us."

Man has never been a pure creature, and neither has his father and son.

"I'm asking why hasn't he left yet? Didn't your grandfather let him be a procurement envoy at the beginning? ”

"This Mahamu is quite bold, huh? Dare to unite with the people of the Eastern Chagatai Khanate? ”

"The Wa Kingdom needs miners, Qian Yong has told me several times, the current Wa Country has ten rooms and nine emptiness, and most of the young and strong have consumed more than half, and many of the rest have run to the mountains to hide, and he can't wait to go to Ezo to arrest people."

…

"Kansai Seven Guards?" Zhu Zhanyan took the letter and read it with a strange expression.

"Didn't they be cautious before, so I punished them a little and gave them a big warning, and asked them to send another 10,000 people, plus double the number of white slaves...... Oh, I'm talking about the people in the north of the Timurid Empire, not us Han Chinese. ”

"I heard that someone came to report yesterday that the Timurid Empire brought people into the Delhi Sultan, what is going on?"

"What can I think? This is grandpa's business, Kansai Qiwei has little to do with our family, even if it is a tea and horse market, we only have a relationship with Han Dongwei for trading and paying taxes. ”

"I specially told Ulugh Beg this time that I want at least sixty percent of the young and strong, first, the young and strong are more expensive, which can make them remember for a long time, and the other is that the young and strong are more useful."

Knowing that he would not get any benefit from being used as a laborer, Zhu Gaoxu, like his son, did not want to get involved.

"Okay, don't talk about this, if it's because a eunuch is angry, it's not good, there's no need for this."

The processing of wool needs to use caustic soda, and it is a large number, in the whole Ming Dynasty, in addition to the method of refining soda ash from plant ash and then refining caustic soda, only Chenghai Lake in Yunnan can get caustic soda.

Zhu Ling didn't ask, he turned around and left.

No matter how bad it is, it is okay to send some people to the Wa Kingdom to speed up the mining process.

……

"This time, the white slave is here, send some to Qian Yong first, and throw the rest to Dhaka City."

This is not the most important thing, the most important thing is that this Ma Qi dares to play the game of greedy ink and bribery under his own banner?

"Zhu Ling!" The anger in Zhu Zhanyan's words was already a little uncontrollable.

As mentioned earlier, the yield of the method of refining plant ash is too low to meet the amount of wool processed, which is the purpose of Zhu Zhanyan's idea for the old man.

In the territory of the Eastern Chagatai Khanate, there are many deserts and mountains, and there is almost not much flat land, otherwise the construction team of later generations would not have spent so much manpower and material resources to develop. (Note 1)

He had heard about it, but because it was handled by his own son, he had 100% trust in it, so he didn't ask about it.

"It's not ......," Zhu Zhanyan laughed happily.

"I'm going to tell you something, and I'm going to have to make you happy, and I'm going to have to give you an idea."

"Yo!?" Zhu Zhanyan exclaimed.

Zhu Gaoxu shook the secret letter in his hand as he spoke, and looked at his son with a puzzled expression.

"Even if it is, but according to the news that Zhu Heng got from the Kansai Qiwei, we only know that some of the Warats went to the Eastern Chagatai Khanate, and we can't prove that it was the decision and order of the three kings of Warat."

"But there's a problem, this Nahei is only dead, and there are a lot of things that we can't be sure of?"

"As for Hami and the other guards, that's grandpa's business."

He really didn't want to meddle in the affairs of the Eastern Chagatai Khanate and the steppe, first, because it didn't have much to do with him, and second, even if he took the Eastern Chagatai Khanate, the benefits he could bring would not be great.

"Okay, then let's not talk about this, let's take a step at a time, anyway, your grandfather probably won't talk to us first."

…

"No, I know this person." Zhu Gaoxu waved his hand, stood up from the futon, pulled his son away, and said as he walked.

"That's right." Zhu Gaoxu nodded in agreement with his son's statement.

Ma Qi is indeed a procurement envoy and a nail sent to Yunnan by Zhu Di, but in fact, this nail is a one-time one.

If you have that spare time, it is better to manage and manage the one-third of an acre of land in the Indochina Peninsula well, at least this is controlled by your own family, and the income is also your own family.

"What do I think?" Zhu Zhan was stunned for a moment, and then asked back.

"Originally, this tea and horse exchange market is not the first time, and the performance of those tribes in the past two years has been very good, I thought it would be very smooth, but I didn't expect ......"

Dare to do things under your own banner? Zhu Zhanyan can be regarded as an eye-opener.

"This Ma Qi is the eunuch next to your grandfather, although like our eunuchs in the Ming Dynasty, he doesn't study and doesn't participate in politics, but your grandfather still trusts him."

As the person who has followed Zhu Zhanyan for the longest time, he knows very well what Zhu Zhanyan wants to do.

"I'm blanching!" Zhu Zhanyan squirted out a foul mouth.

Zhu Zhanyan put the letter back in his father's drawer, leaned on the bookcase, pinched his chin and frowned, his face distorted.

Except for his good third uncle, Zhu Zhanyan has never met anyone who dares to disobey him, how dare this Ma Qi?

Moreover, it is not only himself who is deceived, but also the old man?

Zhu Zhanyan estimated that this Ma Qi either used his father's name, or he used his own name to talk nonsense with the old man, otherwise he should not have been able to stay in Yunnan for so long.

But I didn't expect my son to more than double the previous conditions.

The most important thing is that the Eastern Chagatai Khanate was ruled by the descendants of the Golden Family, and the previous Nahei was only a little better, and actively promoted relations with the Ming after the Ming canonized him as the Great Khan of the Eastern Chagatai Khanate.

"Processing? What else can be done? Zhu Zhanyan spread his hands, looking very innocent.

As he spoke, Zhu Gaoxu tore off the seal paint of the small drawer on the side and took out a letter from inside.

And the nail problem...... said that it was a nail, but in fact, the old man wanted to know in detail how his second son and grandson lived in Yunnan.

"You ask me about this?" Zhu Zhanyan threw the question back with a confused face.

"Yes!"

"Hmm." Zhu Gaoxu nodded.

"It's no wonder they're going to get into Delhi Sultan, it's a bit difficult for them to transport so many people at once given their shipping capacity."

Ma Qi is the procurement envoy of the imperial court, in order to deal with the wool matter with Yunnan, but it stands to reason that he should go back after completing the task.

"But if your grandfather really decides to send troops, then we can't sit idly by, because the Eastern Chagatai Khanate will affect not only the Kansai Seven Guards, but also the Uszangdu Division."

But crooked thinking doesn't work, this man is a complete warmonger.

"I just came back from Yingtian, I just went to bring the dog back, and then told Zhan Qi some things, but I didn't do anything, I didn't even ask that Ma Qi carefully."

…

It's been almost half a year, and after all, I still can't contain the fire in the paper.

"As long as it can be developed well, corn alone is enough, after all, there are a number of people, and it can't increase too much in a short period of time."

Zhu Gaoxu patted his son on the shoulder and pulled his son into the study.

"That's a small thing." Zhu Zhanyan waved his hand, and his mood improved.

"What do you think?"

"Let's wait and see......" Zhu Zhanyan was silent for a long time, and finally gave an answer that was not an answer.

After listening to his father's explanation, Zhu Zhanyan knew that this Ma Qi was indeed a procurement envoy, but he was a procurement envoy of the imperial court, and he came for the wool trade.

"Hey!" Zhu Gaoxu laughed.

It's just that the information Zhu Heng got was incomplete, because ......

Unlike his usual laughter, this time, he was laughed at.

"Did you forget? This Ma Qi was sent by your grandfather when you were still in Yunnan, you asked me? ”

"We are also short of people now, if it is the time of life and death of Daming, then I will definitely send someone to the top without a fart, but now ......"

Zhu Gaoxu also sighed when he heard this.

"Now we can be sure that it is Crooked that Maham unites, because it is Crooked Thoughts who now controls the Eastern Chagatai Khanate, but is this Mahab's own will or ......"

"Huh? What's going on? ”

"Although the yield of corn is not as good as that of potatoes and sweet potatoes, it is also twice as high as that of rice and wheat, and the land on the side of Dhaka is similar to that of Yuhang, and it also has the potential to become a land of fish and rice."

As the saying goes, there is no impermeable wall in the world, and after consciously discovering the "wolf ambition" of the Ming Dynasty, Mahamu and Taiping and Vulture Polo formulated a plan to unite with the Eastern Chagatai Khanate.

"So much?" Zhu Gaoxu was stunned for a moment.

Zhu Gaoxu was stunned when he heard this.

After being reminded by his son, he realized that he had fallen into a misunderstanding before, and he had also made a common-sense mistake.

Okay, not necessarily suitable, just like corn, it's actually enough.

Note 1: In fact, to put it bluntly, it is difficult to write, and it is easy to be blocked, after all, there are too many sensitive topics involved.
