Chapter 219 Zhu Houzhao’s plan

"Just tell me what you want?"

After being together for such a long time, no one knows who the other is. As soon as Zhu Houzhao opened his mouth, Lao Zhu knew what he was planning, wasn't he just trying to take advantage of the situation?

"happy!"

Zhu Houzhao smiled and said: "I can send someone to help you find the traces of the demon, but you need to provide me with an iron mine resource."

This requirement is not too much. Salt, iron, tea and horses, iron ranks second, and has always been one of the most important resources of the imperial court. Iron is indispensable in making armor and weapons, casting artillery shells, and everything else.

An iron ore resource, no matter how big or small, is tantamount to cutting flesh on everyone's heart.

They would rather pay a large sum of money than give up an iron mine.

"Emperor Zhengde, you also understand the importance of iron ore. Can it be replaced by something else?"

Zhu Qiyu said softly, his words also represented everyone's thoughts.

The evil has to be eliminated, but the iron mine really doesn't want to be given away.

"Cool!"

With a hypocritical smile on his face, Zhu Houzhao changed the topic and said: "If you insist on compensating me a little, you might as well let go of the border guards and let me, a scholar from the DPRK, enter."

Don't ask for anything, but help them find traces of monsters for free?

After sneering, Zhu Houzhao couldn't help but feel extremely happy. The feeling of "bullying others with power" was indeed good.

I can't figure it out, I really can't figure it out.

Everyone made eye contact and agreed that it was feasible, so Lao Zhu stepped in to agree.

Don’t worry about scarcity, but worry about inequality!

"I was just joking, please don't take it seriously."

See you in Tuqiongdagger!

Everyone sneered in their hearts, they just said, with Zhu Houzhao's character, how could he ask for nothing? No, his fox tail was exposed in just a few words.

"Ha, you all look down upon me. I don't want anything, so I don't want anything. We are all members of the old Zhu family, and it is natural for us to help each other!"

Therefore, since everyone is unwilling to give him iron ore, then just don't give it up. It's not that there are things more valuable than iron ore, it just depends on how to get it.

That's what they don't want to see.

Zhu Houzhao's Zhengde Dynasty developed all-round development in politics, military, people's livelihood, economy, education, etc. Its strength was among the top three in the Sixteenth Dynasty of the Ming Dynasty. If a large amount of resources were given to Zhu Houzhao, God knows how strong the Zhengde Dynasty would be.

degree.

Zhu Houzhao was not unaware of everyone's thoughts. On the contrary, he knew it very well. Everyone was afraid that his strength would expand too fast. Why didn't he be wary of everyone? They all worked in the dangerous profession of emperor. Except for rubbish like Zhu Qizhen and Zhu Changluo,

There are very few simple characters.

In the last life, he hated the bald eagle extremely, and felt that the bald eagle had no martial ethics and no shame, but now he seems to have experienced the happiness of the bald eagle. After all, one of the best skills of the bald eagle is to "bully others" and put its own interests at risk.

maximize.

Learn about cultural invasion!

Everyone felt that they were sure to make a profit, but Zhu Houzhao would never lose. It was still unknown who was poaching whom.

"Okay, I will do as you say. We will let go of the border defense and let the intellectuals of your dynasty travel and learn. As long as they do not violate the laws of the Ming Dynasty, we can ensure that they are safe and sound."

And this is reality. Reality is not an ideal and cannot be summed up with enthusiasm. Reality only talks about interests.

“It’s really inappropriate to always talk about interests and ask for things!”

"Study travel is a popular trend among the literati in my dynasty. It would be a good thing if I could succeed in studying in your territory."

They would rather believe that the sow can climb the tree than that Zhu Houzhao will be kind enough to help.

But how could Zhu Houzhao, an emperor who was "easily soluble in water" and died in an unknown manner, be better than them?

Except for Zhu Houzhao's cheap friend Zhu Youtang, everyone was consciously or unconsciously thinking of suppressing Zhu Houzhao. Zhu Houzhao ran too fast, which was not a good thing for them.

But they couldn't figure out what benefit it would bring to Zhu Houzhao if the literati from the Zhengde Dynasty went to the upper reaches of their territory to learn and practice?

They are not afraid that those scholars will not want to go back when they reach their territory. After all, they still know how mean the Zhengde Dynasty was to scholars. They want preferential treatment but not preferential treatment, and want privileges but not privileges. It is completely different from the way they treat scholars.

"I can't give you the iron ore, but other things are still negotiable. Think about it. If you want anything, we can satisfy you and try our best to satisfy you."

What he meant was to fill Zhu Houzhao's appetite with something unimportant first, lest Zhu Houzhao ask for more in the future.

If Zhu Houzhao's strength is completely superior to them, there is no guarantee that Zhu Houzhao will not have other thoughts.

"We are all a family, so talking about interests would be too unfamiliar."

Everyone suddenly became wary. They were not fools. The cheapest was often the most expensive. Zhu Houzhao was not a warm-hearted person who did good deeds without receiving any benefits.

Without paying any price, they can let Zhu Houzhao send people to help them find the traces of the demon, and also have the opportunity to dig into Zhu Houzhao's corner. This deal is a good deal, and they will definitely make a profit.

After much thought, they couldn't understand how Zhu Houzhao, who was so shrewd, could do such a business that clearly stated that meat buns would beat dogs and there would be no return, but no one seemed to be able to find a reason to refuse.

In the end, he ended up living the life he hated the most.

Zhu Houzhao smiled and said very proudly: "As soon as the demon trouble in our Zhengde Dynasty is resolved, I will immediately send people to your territory to help you find traces of the demon and kill it."

No one else believed that Zhu Houzhao wanted nothing, especially Lao Zhu, who had the most contact with Zhu Houzhao and was interested in imitating Zhu Houzhao's reforms.

After all, the old Zhu family still has a strong sense of competition for superiority.

Seeing everyone's eyes flashing, looking forward to him being deflated, Zhu Houzhao secretly sneered in his heart, who is defiant? It's not certain yet.

However, Zhu Houzhao had confidence in his Zhengde Dynasty. What the other Fifteen Dynasties could give, his Zhengde Dynasty could also give; what he Zhengde Dynasty had, the other Fifteen Dynasties might not have!

Zhu Houzhao seemed to have suffered some losses in this transaction, but he was actually in an invincible position. The strong national strength accumulated through reforms was one of his capitals that made him proud of the emperors.

There is even a little excitement in his heart. Ever since he entered the Qiankun Pearl space and the 16th Ming Dynasty gathered together, Zhu Houzhao has never suffered a loss. If he could poach the literati of the Zhengde Dynasty and let Zhu Houzhao suffer, they would

You can also have fun.

Lao Zhu and Zhu Di were superior to them in strength, but they could still accept that the Hongwu Emperor of Huaiyou and the Yongle Emperor, who had a long life, naturally made them look up to them.

Don’t you see how many people in the Zhengde Dynasty were scolding Zhu Houzhao behind his back for eating people without spitting out their bones? Such a person would have a warm heart and be a good person?

They have their own ways of attracting talents, and Zhu Houzhao also has the capital to win over people's hearts. It just depends on who has better methods!

In the Sixteenth Dynasty of the Ming Dynasty, there were indeed too many!

"Sometimes you cry!"

"That's it for today!"

Lao Zhu said, and everyone immediately dispersed.

Although Zhu Houzhao promised to send people to help them find traces of the "demon", they would not relax their vigilance and would definitely intensify their search efforts after returning.

It’s better to ask for help than to ask for help from others!
