First Minister of Ming Dynasty Chapter 669

"His Royal Highness, when dealing with outsiders, you can't help but abandon good people who are unwilling to cooperate, and occasionally support bad people who are willing to obey... All in all, the core of foreign exchanges is only one thing."

Zhu Biao swallowed and spit, and subconsciously said, "What did the gentleman say?"

"Benefits, Daming's interests! It includes both long-term interests and immediate interests. There are both easy-to-get benefits and future costs. Anyway, this is a very complicated matter, but your Highness doesn't need to worry too much."

"why?"

"Because His Highness will have a lot of time to get acquainted with this matter. After all, this is a powerful Ming, which must be faced from time to time!"

Zhu Biao was a little stunned, and finally nodded to show his understanding.

He turned around and came out of Zhang Ximeng's study, and he planned to leave directly, but he remembered a very big thing, the life and death of the fourth child is still unknown!

You have to ask for forgiveness!

Zhu Biao crashed into Zhu Ying's mansion, the study, the main hall, and the east wing.

"Big brother, the fourth is still a child, don't be really angry!"

"He's still a kid!"

Zhu Biao walked back while calling, and when he entered the garden, he was dumbfounded.

I saw Zhu Ying and Zhu Di, sitting in front of the bonfire, Zhu Di was playing with a plump leg of lamb, which was sizzling with oil. The fruit wood is used below, and the charcoal fire is even and fragrant.

Zhu Ying is still teaching Zhu Di, "Tell you, in my eldest brother's courtyard, don't cut down the big locust tree, you can do anything else! You are welcome to any peach, apricot, or pear tree. I found out, You guys are too weak, don't you know, I took my eldest brother's salary and took it for several years in one go! I've always been rude about their family's things."

Zhu Di couldn't help looking at him with admiration, saying that the front wave was better than the back wave. Looking at it this way, his back wave was simply too weak.

After all, given Zhu Di ten thousand courage, he did not dare to run wild in Zhang Ximeng's mansion, but this one dared!

Serve, you are my idol!

Zhu Di rolled his eyes, just saw Zhu Biao, and hurriedly greeted: "Brother, come here and try my craft."

Zhu Biao let out a sigh of relief, thinking that this fourth child is really heartless, it's hard for me to worry about you. He came over and saluted Zhu Ying.

"Brother, you worked hard this time."

Zhu Ying smiled and let him sit down... Zhu Ying called Zhang Ximeng eldest brother, Zhu Biao called Zhu Ying eldest brother, and Zhu Di called Zhu Biao eldest brother... Anyway, everyone knows who is the eldest brother.

Zhu Di silently cut off a piece of the roasted leg of lamb and gave it to Zhu Biao, and Zhu Biao gave this piece to Zhu Ying. When the second piece came, he took a bite. Not to mention, Zhu Di's craftsmanship It's ok, I didn't steal so many things in vain.

"Brother, what are your plans now? Is it easy to do in Yunnan?"

Zhu Ying smiled and said: "There's nothing to do, it's simple and ruthless. Don't look at the fact that this time the imperial court is going to draw out two provinces, Guizhou and Guangxi, and think I'm at a loss. In fact, I know what I'm doing. I just dumped these places. Court governance. Then I only need to concentrate on reclamation, save food, and let the rear go south and develop westward. There is a lot of land there, and it's not a problem to make a few more provinces!”

Zhu Di's eyes widened as he listened, "You, are you going to fight outside too?"

Zhu Ying sneered and said, "What do you mean? It was decided before the Northern Expedition. My province is in Yunnan, and the area is not capped! This is what my eldest brother promised me."

It was Zhang Ximeng who said it!

Zhu Di was even more surprised, "Then, what about my territory? I'm going to move to Kaiping City, the capital, and now I've charged Liaodong. If I get Gaoli, I also have territory in several provinces. Can I compare with you?"

Zhu Ying sneered, "What do you think? To tell you the truth, the farther north you go from Peiping, the colder it gets, and the fewer people there are. If you don't even have people, how can you compare it to me? Yunnan is different. , Annam, Champa, Chenla, Siam, all are treasures with suitable climate and dense population. The most important thing is that my side produces a lot of grain, three crops a year. As long as I can cultivate millions of acres of fertile land, I will Can sweep all directions!"

The more Zhu Di listened, the more he drooled.

Suddenly, Zhu Di presented the leg of lamb to Zhu Ying, and then he felt wronged and started to cry.

"Big brother... Little brother is pitiful! My younger brother was less than ten years old, and he was very thin when he was driven away. There was a big sandstorm over there, a bowl of rice, half a bowl of sand. I haven't eaten a full meal for several months... Brother, you have to help me! We are all from the old Zhu family, as long as you are willing to help me, you are my brother!"

As Zhu Di spoke, he hugged Zhu Ying's thigh, snot and tears,

Zhu Biao was stunned when he cried, "You bastard, are you calling the wrong person?"

Zhu Di didn't care about that, "Big brother, for the sake of the father and mother, please help the younger brother!"

Zhu Ying was stunned, when did such a thing happen to her?

"I, I want to help you, but you can't deny any favors, can you?"

"Give it, I'll give it now!" Zhu Di said immediately: "Big brother, I have a war horse, how much you want, I'll give you as much. Then you just need to give me some food, brass, I don't choose, I I believe that big brother will not let me suffer."

Zhu Ying rolled her eyes and couldn't help laughing, "All these years, I just took advantage of others, now it's your turn to bully me! Okay, I'll find a way for you, and I'll get the food for you! Do you still want someone?"

"who?"

"It's the natives of Annan and other places, let them work for you."

Zhu Di's eyes lit up, "Big brother, dear brother! I'm just thinking about selling some livestock, you're not even polite, if you want to talk about immorality, you have to be the big brother, the younger brother will take it!"

Zhu Ying turned her head in anger, too lazy to look at him.

Zhu Di didn't care about that, he quickly cut off the fattest piece of meat and stuffed it into Zhu Ying's mouth.

This roast lamb leg made Zhu Biao cold.

His eldest brother is completely useless. Zhu Di has become Zhu Ying's follower. That is called a flatterer. He turns around, first cuts the meat, then serves tea and water, and serves carefully. Old Zhu did not enjoy this treatment.

And Zhu Ying is also a lover of leisure. He originally had no grudge against Zhu Di, but the age gap between the two was a little big. Zhu Ying went out to lead the army, and Zhu Di was still wearing open pants!

This time is good, the two of them eat a meal of meat, and hang their shoulders together, as much as possible,

This guy, Zhu Ying, is still a fanboy, the only problem is that you want him to treat you as a younger brother, and then good things will come.

"Zhu Di! You know those natives, what do you like the most?"

Zhu Di shook his head stupidly, "I don't know!"

"Then I'll tell you, they like sweets best!"

"Sweet? Honey? Well, I was in Peiping, and I met a lot of real girls. They just went to the mountains to find bees tired... It is said that someone was stung to death by a wasp, and they didn't change their minds... As long as you get a jar of honey, you will be Enough for a family to live for a year."

Zhu Ying laughed, "You are right, very right! But how much honey can I have? My elder brother told me a long time ago that this poor man is rich, and his favorite thing is sweets! Let me tell you, my elder brother he Definitely from a scholarly family. He doesn't even like candy... You know what?"

Zhu Di was startled, and said hurriedly: "Yes, I remember that Zhang Shuning didn't like it either, and said that eating sugar would cause tooth decay."

Zhu Ying said with a smile: "The two of them are exactly the same. My eldest nephew is definitely a good seedling to inherit the style of the family."

Zhu Di was stunned for a moment, and then asked: "Brother, your name is Shu Ning and you are the eldest nephew, so what should I do with him?

"How?"

Zhu Ying was so angry that she slapped Zhu Di, "It's another matter! Otherwise, the royal father still calls my elder brother "Mister! Do you want to call me Master Shuning too? Don't make trouble for me!"

It's rare, Zhu Di agreed honestly, "Brother, hurry up, what's the article about this dessert?"

Only then did Zhu Ying smile: "In Lingnan, there are many sugarcane fields, which I got a few years ago, and now there is more sugarcane in Lingnan. I'll match you up. You get the sugar Peiping, and then sell it to those leaders... By the way, do you know how to make milk tea?"

Zhu Di blinked, "Do you want to use West Lake Longjing?"

Zhu Ying couldn't help laughing, "You know my big brother quite well! Let me tell you, just use the worst tea bricks when you don't need them, just put them in a pot and have a little tea flavor. Take good tea and waste things, take West Lake Longjing, that's more. It's a waste of money!"

Zhu Ying reminded again: "But I can say this, others can't do it. My eldest brother is the most attentive, and he holds grudges very much. You are all too young to know. In the first few years, , he dared to force his father to write essays in the name of inspecting his homework, and forced his father to suffer. If you want to know about this, you can ask your mother, and no one else will know!"

Both Zhu Biao and Zhu Di were dumbfounded, how dare you still have these things!

No wonder Mr. Zhang is so powerful that even his father doesn't dare to waste. There are so many stories...

"Brother, tell me again, is there anything else? How were you in the past! How were you in the past?"

"Me? I'm both civil and military, very smart!" Zhu Ying smiled and said: "You know, I was born to read, and I followed my elder brother. The teachers in the school praised me, but I don't know the subject. Ask me for help, you guys. I don't know, I was so majestic back then!"

Zhu Ying spoke with great pride.

At this moment, a voice suddenly sounded from behind.

"Your test papers for Ren, etc. are still in my study. Would you like to show them!"

Ren wait!

Zhu Biao and Zhu Di were stunned, UU reading www. uukanshu.com was stunned for a long time, and the two of them couldn't hold back, "Ren et al, it's actually Ren et al! Big brother's ten heavenly stems are almost not enough!"

Zhu Di leaned forward and back together, laughing until his stomach hurt.

Zhu Ying's old face flushed instantly. If he hit an egg, it would be a poached egg.

"Brother, you, how can you demolish the platform!"

Zhang Ximeng casually pulled the chair under Zhu Ying's buttocks and sat down by himself.

"Let me tell you, Zhu Ying, and King Steaming, the two of you are one from the northeast and the other from the southwest. How do you go to the outside world and what strategies do you have? You should discuss with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Ministry of War to understand that the financial resources of the DPRK and China are limited, and you can only If you support one aspect, you can't have both ends."

Without any hesitation, the two of them said in unison, "Let the eldest brother (the fourth brother) come first!"
