Chapter 253: Zhu Quan came to the door
Just when He Qiu was busy, Zhu Yuying suddenly called him back from the brocade guard, saying that there was a guest at home.
He Qiu hadn't moved out of the Yanwang Mansion yet, and when he hurriedly returned to the mansion, he saw Zhu Gaochi sitting there drinking tea with two strangers.
Seeing He Qiu coming back, Zhu Gaochi hurriedly stood up and said.
"Brother-in-law, this is my seventeenth uncle, this is my uncle."
He Qiu's face was silent, but he couldn't help muttering a little in his heart, how did the people of the Xu family get involved with King Ning? King Ning's entry into the domain this time is not to seize Zhu Di's power?
King Ning also quickly stood up and saluted He Qiu, but when it was time to salute, he didn't know what to shout for a long time.
Ho Lord? That's too raw! No matter what they say, they are all relatives, but if they are shouted by relatives, He Qiu is a generation lower than him.
After struggling for a long time, King Ning reluctantly chose a gentleman's name.
"Mr. He, Xiao Wang is polite."
The son-in-law of the Xu family on the side also bowed and said.
"I've seen Mr. He, and I'm going to increase my longevity."
He Qiu hurriedly led them to sit down and asked the maids to come over and pour tea and water.
Looking at King Ning with a green face, He Qiu was also a little curious, what was he doing today.
King Ning is not yet fifteen years old now, and this age will force him to go to Daning to become a vassal, Zhu Yunwen is also quite ruthless, and King Ning is not as old as him.
"Your Royal Highness and the fourth brother of the Xu family are visiting today, what is the matter?"
He Qiu looked at Zhu Quan and asked.
Zhu Quan didn't speak, but Xu Zengshou on the side said.
"Alas, the prince heard that he was going to Daning to be a domain, he didn't know anything about that side, didn't he think that you were in Beiping before, and you were very close to there, so you begged me to bring him to ask for advice."
Xu Zengshou couldn't find any fault with his words, but He Qiu thought about it, I'm afraid it's not so simple, even if he He Qiu doesn't know a lot about Daning's situation.
And He Qiu didn't believe it at all, King Ning didn't have any cronies in his hands, so he specifically inquired about Daning's situation.
Seeing that He Qiu had some doubts, Zhu Quan hurriedly said.
"Mr. He, I also heard that you have a lot of ideas, a bit of golden energy, so I want you to help guide me on how to develop Daning."
Zhu Quan's words were extremely polite, not at all like a heavenly nobleman, but very modest.
This made He Qiu amazed in his heart, it is really rare to have a crooked royal child, compared to Zhu Quan's joke-like reputation in history, tsk, history!
Speaking of which, Zhu Quan is also a smart person, since he knew that he was going to be a feudal domain, he was very uneasy in his heart, he was not a fool, and he was very clear about what the people who let him go to Daning to become a feudal lord.
is nothing more than hoping that he will divide the strength of the fourth brother Zhu Di, and if there is any contradiction between the two, it will be even better.
But Daning is outside the Saiwai, he must be more important in military affairs, he is not yet fifteen years old, if he just goes to the domain and does not rely on Zhu Di, it is looking for death.
Going around and around, Zhu Quan pulled Xu Zengshou, who was familiar with him, and found the Yanwang Mansion, wanting to see He Qiu.
Although he is not very familiar with He Qiu, in the past two years, He Qiu's name has been mentioned by Zhu Yuanzhang from time to time, so that Zhu Yuanzhang can hand over all the brocade guards to He Qiu, which shows how much He Qiu has Zhu Yuanzhang's trust.
Zhu Quan simply felt that since He Qiu could be so valued by Zhu Yuanzhang, he must have his own merits.
Moreover, he and Zhu Di are Weng sons-in-law, and it is not an exaggeration to find him on the matter of the domain now.
Zhu Gaochi on the side was still a little sulking in his heart, his father had worked hard to run the Northeast for so many years, and now an edict had forcibly cut off two large pieces of land from him.
This kind of approach is really chilling, but it is not easy for him to point the finger at Zhu Quan, and Zhu Gaochi also knows that this matter has nothing to do with Zhu Quan and the two of them going to the domain.
He Qiu said with a smile.
"Liaodong and Daning, there is a lot of black soil, suitable for planting some beans, crops can even grow rice, but the local climate is cold, only one season a year can be planted."
"In addition to crops, Daning is a good pasture, can raise millions of cattle and sheep, connected to Liaodong also has an outlet to the sea, recently Yanwang is building a port in the local area, and merchants in the south of the Yangtze River for sea trade, harvesting a lot."
Zhu Quan was surprised when he heard it, he didn't remember anything else, only remembered that Daning was a good ranch, can the ranch be done? Raise horses!
Isn't that a good horse farm?
If you look at it in this way, although Daning is rich, the military pressure it faces will definitely not be small, compared to those barbarians of the grassland, they will not watch Daming occupy such a good piece of horse breeding land.
Zhu Quan took a deep breath and asked tentatively.
"Since Daning is so rich, what does Mr. He think this king should do when he goes to Daning?"
He Qiu said with a smile.
"You don't need to do anything, just open up the road with Beiping, and the two sides will have closer exchanges, and then borrow troops from His Royal Highness King Yan and comb the grassland."
"I think King Yan won't refuse, it's a brother in the end, you say yes, His Royal Highness King Ning?"
Zhu Quan was overjoyed, He Qiu's meaning was obvious, Zhu Di would not target him, it was enough to go and develop Daning honestly.
With He Qiu's words, Zhu Quan felt much more confident, and then he said sincerely.
"Mr. He, why don't you repair a letter and tell the fourth brother about the situation, I will prepare my things, and I will go to Daning immediately!"
He Qiu didn't think there was anything, and said happily.
"I have no choice, I will help you write a letter today."
"Don't thank you for your kindness, and when Mr. He returns to Beiping, Xiao Wang will give you another big gift."
Zhu Quan bowed deeply and said gratefully to He Qiu.
Zhu Quan was about to leave then, and Xu Zengshou, who came with him, naturally didn't want to stay here anymore, and after the matter was over, it didn't make sense for him to stay.
Zhu Gaochi went out to see them off, and when he returned to the courtyard, he couldn't wait to ask He Qiudao.
"Brother-in-law, if you persuade Uncle Seventeen like this, will he listen?"
"His Royal Highness King Ning is a smart person and won't do stupid things."
Zhu Gaochi breathed a sigh of relief, and then said with some resentment.
"Humph! Some people! I just hope that my father can fight with these two uncles! Could it be that you still have the dream of 'cranes and mussels compete with each other, and fishermen profit'? ”
Then he continued to lose his temper.
"I thought he had really learned the kindness of his uncle, but now it seems that it is all false benevolence and false righteousness! will only do some superficial work, and it was rumored that he helped the Kong family to plead, and then sealed Uncle Ning to the Northeast this time, which is like something that an uncle can do? ”
"I can't wait to target my father so much, if I wait for him to ascend the throne, then I will pay it back!"
He Qiu put down the teacup in his hand and said solemnly.
"Gao Chi, be cautious!"
He Qiu looked at Zhu Gaochi calmly and said.
"Don't worry about these things, don't talk nonsense outside, trust your father, he will take care of this!"
Zhu Gaochi bit his lip a little unwillingly, and nodded sullenly after renting.
He Qiu secretly thought in his heart: My good father-in-law! You shouldn't be so shallow and shocked by someone at first try, right?
