Dad, don't worry, Biao'er will definitely work with you to resist the cold wind of the north for thousands of years for the people of the world, and live up to the trust of the people of the world in my Zhu family.

Zhu Biao's fists clenched slightly, and he swore secretly in his heart.

"Hey, hey, hey."

"What do you think?"

"Why is this chatting and slipping away?"

"With your attitude, didn't Master Song beat you back then?"

Xiao Han stretched out his finger and shook it in front of Zhu Biao's eyes.

"Ahem!"

"I, I'm just drawn to the good things that come ahead."

Zhu Biao coughed lightly twice and said.

But the heart is warm.

Xiao Han, Xiao Fengxue.

Cut off the snow for Daming?

It's nice to have such a brother.

"Your Highness, there is an urgent report in the direction of the Lancang Kingdom."

At this moment, Jiang You walked up and handed Xiao Han an urgent report.

"What's wrong?"

Seeing Xiao Han's face gradually changing as he watched this urgent report, Zhu Biao couldn't help but ask.

"There are other sellers who have intervened in the Lancang Kingdom market."

"They are also under the banner of the Ava Dynasty, but they are not from our Ming court."

"In terms of performance, it seems that the group of merchants who went to Vietnam from Lingnan bought weapons and armor from Ava and sold them to Lancang at a high price."

Xiao Han said to Zhu Biao.

"Will this have any impact on the layout of our Daming?"

Zhu Biao asked at Xiao Han.

"There must be an impact, after all, compared to our imperial court's own caravan, although these people are also Ming merchants, they are really uncontrollable."

"After a long time, it's easy to think that the group of clans that were fooled by us and thought that they were supported by Ava really connected with Ava."

"This play is not easy to act."

Xiao Han said.

"What then?"

"Do you want to send troops to capture them?"

Zhu Biao asked at Xiao Han.

"Big brother, why are you shrewd and confused for a while?"

"If we Da Ming do it directly, wouldn't it be equivalent to telling those Lancang people that all this is what Da Ming is doing behind his back?"

"Not only can't we arrest these people, but we also have to let the caravan over there in Lancang recognize the identities of these people."

Xiao Han said to Zhu Biao.

"That's... Will they leak our strategy? ”

Zhu Biao asked again.

"Probably not."

"On the one hand, those businessmen may not be able to see our Daming's strategic intentions."

"On the other hand, if they expose our Daming's strategy, then they won't be able to do this business."

Xiao Han explained to Zhu Biao.

"Humph! What a hindrance, merchant! ”

Zhu Biao snorted coldly.

"It doesn't matter, there's just a disobedient piece on the board all of a sudden."

"I can't fight, and then I will guide them and use the clans close to Yue on the other side to get rid of them."

"However, this matter is full of instability, and there is no need to do it for the time being if they do not realize their intention to withdraw."

"I want to know another thing now, according to intelligence, the strength of these businessmen's dart division team is extraordinary, and it seems that there is a shadow of Hu Weiyong's remnant forces."

Xiao Han said lightly.

"What?"

"How dare they?"

Zhu Biao scolded angrily.

"Rest easy."

"I don't think it's necessarily a bad thing if that happens, after all, anyway, it's also their way out of the shadows."

"Of course, if this matter is confirmed, even if we don't plan to use the pro-Vietnamese clan to reduce them for the time being, it's time to adjust the balance of weapon support."

"After all, their appearance has caused a little imbalance at both ends of the scale."

Xiao Han said, his hands were still busy.

"Alright, it's done."

"According to my calculations, leaving these production lines can allow Ying Tianfu to consume seventy percent of the annual rich grain output, and the remaining thirty percent, which can also be eaten when the grain depot is filled."

Xiao Han waved the paper in his hand.

During the speech just now, his deduction has not stopped, and at this time he has finally finished the work.

"Uh... Are you still settling accounts at this time? ”

Zhu Biao's eyes widened.

"Or else?"

"Fighting a war is a competition of national strength, these accounts are calculated, but the rapid progress of the Lancang Kingdom will be more beneficial to our Daming."

"After all, Lancang's national strength is so much, if you eat it in one bite, you can't eat it a second time for a long time, and your own industry is the top priority."

"As for those merchants, I will first secretly arrange for those pro-Yue clans to test and find a way to lock them in this land of right and wrong."

"After ten thousand mountains, it's a little interesting."

Xiao Han said with a smile.

Lancang Kingdom.

"Brother Wan, it is worthy of you, this opportunity for Lancang infighting, if you say you will seize it, you will seize it, sure enough, this murder and arson can be a gold belt, and the income from the resale of these weapons will catch up with the last time we sold paper."

"Those guys with rat eyes didn't come with us, I'm afraid their thighs will be bruised."

Wang Yi smiled and patted Wan Shanhou on the shoulder and said.

"That's it."

"This time, we can have such a momentum, even those local nobles and toasts are respectful to us, it is all the credit of Brother Wan."

Zhou Dexing also spoke.

"Lao Cheng is stupid, I don't know what to say, this glass of wine, I respect Brother Wan."

"In the future, Brother Wan's business will be my business, and if I scatter my family wealth, I must follow Brother Wan to the end!"

Cheng Jian patted his chest and said.

"You... Do you really think it's that simple? ”

However, in the face of Cheng Jian's toast, Wan Shanhou did not raise his glass, but asked.

"Any questions?"

"In my opinion, it is Ava and Yue Guo who are expanding their influence in Lancang."

"After all, this Lancang country is full of poor mountains and bad waters, and it is really not cost-effective to send troops to fight directly, so it is really smart to do so."

Cheng Jian said.

"Brother Cheng, you only noticed one of them, but you didn't notice the second."

"From what I have observed, the other merchants who represent Ava's arms trafficking are also fluent in Awa, but in my attempts I found that their Da Ming is no different."

Wan Shanhou said, frowning.

"Could it be that Ava learned that Yue Guo had taken refuge in Daming, so he deliberately did it for fear of retaliation, and once something went wrong, he pushed it to our Daming?"

Zhou Dexing also frowned.

"If only that were the case."

"I inquired openly and secretly about the Yuan weapons that I bought Ava before, and it turned out that no one went to them to buy them except us."

Wan Shanhou shook his head.

"Brother Wan, you mean..."

"Those people are probably not Ava merchants at all, but people from the Ming Dynasty?"

Wang Yi's eyes widened.

"Hmm."

"If what I expected is correct, this chaotic battle in the Lancang Kingdom is not the result of the war between Ava and the Yue Kingdom at all."

"Instead, Da Ming directed and acted himself throughout the whole process, ready to include the Lancang Kingdom in his bag."

"And we accidentally broke into this game of chess of Daming."

Wan Shanhou nodded slightly.

"What then?"

"Why don't we make this public, muddy the water, and leave?"

Cheng Jian asked after facing Wan Shan.

"Yes, it's a big deal, all of us, let's die in a foreign land."

The corners of Wan Shanhou's mouth twitched slightly.

"Brother Cheng, it's not okay to do this, if we do this, the people from Daming will definitely not let us go?"

"Once this matter is made public by us, perhaps the hidden forces in the mountains taken by the Ming merchants may be strangled by the internal forces of the Lancang Kingdom."

"But we won't be able to run until they're all killed."

"After all, we're now in trouble with the businessman in charge of disguising Ava's support, and it's not difficult for them to solve us."

The oldest, Zhou Dexing spoke.

"Not bad."

"Brother Zhou is right, besides, it won't do us any good by doing this."

"Continue to pretend to be deaf and dumb, and you can continue to resell weapons to accumulate strength, but once you put things on the bright side, Da Ming's face will not be able to get by, and our inside will be directly crushed by Da Ming."

Wan Shanhou added.

"That's... So what to do? ”

"If the Ming plan succeeds, everything will be liquidated at that time, and those of us who are stirring up the situation will not get out easily."

Cheng Jian asked after facing Wan Shan.

"So, the more this time, the more we need to be calm."

"Before the Ming Dynasty ruled the world, there was a nine-character mantra."

"Build high walls, accumulate grain, and slow down to become king."

"We are also suitable for this now, first secretly accumulate our own strength, cultivate a strong enough armed team of dart masters, and wait for the most critical moment to get out."

Wan Shan said.

"I support Brother Wan's statement."

"Brother Wan is really knowledgeable, and even this kind of Daming secret that only the high-level knows can be revealed, and it will definitely take us out of trouble."

Zhou Dexing took a deep look at Wan Shanhou.

"Haha!"

"Brother Zhou laughed, I just had some deals with Huaixi Xungui by chance, and I was impressed by the wisdom contained in these words, which impressed me and led me to a philosophy of life."

Wan Shanhou's expression froze, and he smiled.

British Mansion.

"Wind and snow, the recent relocation of the production line has been very smooth, and it will be in place in a few days."

Zhu Biao said with a smile.

"Naturally, we don't have any big production equipment that is difficult to move, and when people pass, it basically becomes more than half."

Xiao Han also smiled.

Under his guidance, Daming's orderly development is really a happy thing.

After a while, blast furnaces will be built in large quantities, and perhaps, you can start building ironclad warships.

At that time, the big ships and huge cannons will come out of the sky, and the firepower will cover Fusang, but Xiao Han has been looking forward to it for a long time.

Little Day... Sakura, who has a good life, is she ready to be judged?

"By the way, the merchants of the Lancang Kingdom have been very honest these days, and they haven't made any big moves at all, and it's really the same as you said, it's completely like they didn't see it at all."

Zhu Biao said to Xiao Han.

"Huh."

"That's the choice of smart people."

"If I were them, I would have chosen it this way, after the investigation of my people, during this time, those merchants are constantly collecting money, and then saving the best weapons, and have formed a team of nearly a thousand dart masters."

"Obviously, they have seen it, but they are just pretending to be stupid and accumulating strength."

Xiao Han shook his head slightly and said.

"Could it be that they still plan to resist the law by force?"

Zhu Biao snorted coldly.

"Ahem!"

"As far as I know, there is no relevant provision in our Da Ming Law."

"They haven't attacked our people yet, so they can't constitute a crime of rebellion, and the armor they have accumulated is not in the Ming Dynasty, and they can't constitute private soldiers."

Xiao Han coughed lightly.

"Is this any different? Resisting the imperial court is a violation of the Ming Law, and when the time comes, let's add another Ming Law. ”

"Can a living person suffocate urine?"

Zhu Biao said to Xiao Han.

"It's definitely not okay to add it temporarily, if you add it, add it now."

"Otherwise, if I am asked to preside over the trial of them, at most I will be sentenced to one person who obstructs the Ming court, and then revise the law of the Ming Dynasty, and punish the nine clans who have the same behavior next time."

"After all, I have always opposed the change of the imperial decree, and every Ming law has its dignity, and before it is abolished, it is what the Ming Dynasty needs to maintain."

Xiao Han said.

"It makes sense, it's me who is short-sighted."

Zhu Biao nodded.

"Then change it now, and then you will add it to the Da Ming Law, and write a few additional regulations for their situation."

Zhu Biao said to Xiao Han.

"You really don't want to move your brain."

The corners of Xiao Han's mouth twitched slightly.

"Using my brain in front of you, isn't it the class to get an axe?"

"By the way, is the second half of Daming economics completed?"

Zhu Biao spread his hands.

"It's done, you can get it back today."

"But these are not needed by our Daming at present, you don't need to understand now, when we Daming needs these, it's not too late to work hard."

Xiao Han said, handing the second half of the financial chapter of Daming Economics on the table to Zhu Biao.

"I understand."

"Don't worry, I will do what I can, if I can't do it, it's up to you to tell."

Zhu Biao smiled.

Xiao Han: ...

"Did you listen to me?"

Xiao Han helplessly held his forehead with one hand.

"By the way, it's been more than half a month since Hu Weiyong's family was exterminated."

"Mother is preparing to handle your marriage again, how is your body conditioning now?"

Zhu Biao asked at Xiao Han.

"It's okay."

"With the medicine of the fifth child, as well as the big tonic soup given by my mother, my body is okay now."

Xiao Han smiled bitterly.

"That's good, let's go to Kunning Palace tonight to meet my father."

"Mother said, if you are not busy, go to Kunning Palace, cook a few dishes, and call your two girls, she has important things to say."

Zhu Biao said to Xiao Han.

"My mother said so, even if I don't have time, I have to have time."

"After all, in this Daming, if you offend your father, your mother may save you, but if you make your mother unhappy, the gods will be difficult to save."

Xiao Han smiled.

"You kid..."

"Mother, she spoils you more than me, she is willing to be angry with anyone, and she will not be willing to be angry with you."

"Okay, it's not too early, let's go to Kunning Palace together."

Zhu Biao said.

"Okay."

Xiao Han nodded, walked out with Zhu Biao, got into Zhu Biao's prince's special chariot, and went all the way to Kunning Palace.

At this time, the time has come to May, and Yingtianfu has gradually shown signs of summer.

Just yesterday, it had just rained heavily in Jinling City.

The streets of Jinling City are full of watery puddles, but fortunately, the drainage of Jinling City is not bad compared to other cities at this time.

Except for a few small puddles, most of the stagnant water was drained.

"Daddy, I'm here with Fengxue."

Zhu Biao didn't need to be notified when he entered Kunning Palace, and directly pulled Xiao Han towards the palace.

In fact, Xiao Han doesn't need it, it's just that Xiao Han is used to entering the door to report, so if he comes by himself, he will choose to let the guards report first.

"Yo!"

"Wind and snow, rare guest, this time is very busy, we haven't seen you for almost a month."

Hearing Zhu Biao's voice outside, Zhu Yuanzhang actually held the tickle in one hand and walked out of it to greet him in person.

"Daddy."

"You just saw the wind and snow, didn't you see me?"

Zhu Biao reluctantly spoke.

"Huh."

"Don't you kid come every day?"

"We can see it every day, how often does the wind and snow not come, of course we have to be eager."

"We heard that you have been conditioning your body during this period of time in the wind and snow, and it is still the medicine prescribed by the fifth kid, come, let us see how our son's body is conditioned."

"If our son's body is damaged, we will beat him to death."

Zhu Yuanzhang took Xiao Han's hand and looked up and down for a while.

"Tut-tut!"

"Yes, yes, not only does this face have a bloody color, but also some flesh."

"Men, you have to have meat on your body, otherwise you are as thin as a woman, and you can't even carry it on a horse to fight."

"Tsk!"

"These eyebrows, these eyes, are more and more similar to us back then, worthy of being our son."

Zhu Yuanzhang said to Xiao Han.

Zhu Biao: ...

Dad, you just stick to the edge, although you are not ugly when you are young, you can say that you are handsome, but there is still a gap between you and a humble gentleman like Fengxue, who is as rich as jade, right?

Moreover, did you give birth to them?

Just like you?

"Ahem!"

"Dad has been in court recently, but it's rare to be idle, and we don't dare to always bother Dad."

Xiao Han coughed lightly.

"Hey!"

"Don't tight, don't tight, let's go to the court to see the field, in fact, more than half of the twists and turns are still standard."

"Especially about the current situation in the south and the north, to be honest, we still don't understand the specific situation, your Ming economics, Biao'er has learned much more than us."

"After all, now you two boys are more worried about this Da Ming, let's just watch the scene."

Zhu Yuanzhang said with a smile.

Xiao Han: ...

He originally thought that Zhu Biao was enough to learn in the comprehension of Daming economics, but he didn't expect that in Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes, Zhu Biao was already a scholar.

It is worthy of the old Zhu family, an insulator of economic thought in the same vein.

The penultimate one feels like the penultimate one is good at learning.

"Come on, come in, your mother must be very happy to see you now. When a few girls arrive, our family will have to get together. ”

Zhu Yuanzhang pulled Xiao Han towards the hall.
