The ministers begged me to ascend the throne

In the study room of Prince Chu's Mansion, King Chu heard Zhao Yao say that the emperor had agreed to let him go to Lingnan. He was so angry that he almost lost his temper and cursed at him.

"I'm going to find my father and ask him to take his life back."

King Chu was about to go out in a hurry, and Zhao Yao reached out to hold him back: "Fourth brother, it's useless, my father will not take back his life."

"I'm going to beg my father. If my father doesn't agree, I won't be able to afford it." The King of Chu would never let Zhao Yao go to Lingnan.

Hearing what King Chu said, Zhao Yao was very moved.He opened his hands and stopped in front of King Chu, "Fourth brother, I really want to go to Lingnan. It's not out of anger. I won't make fun of my own life."

Although the King of Chu was very angry at Zhao Yao's method of beheading first and then showing off, he could not hold back from yelling at him.He took a deep breath to calm himself.

"You're just kidding yourself with your life by going to Lingnan." After saying that, he started to walk out again.

Seeing this, Zhao Yao hugged King Chu's thigh and refused to let King Chu go.

"Fourth brother, I really am not seeking death. I really want to go to Lingnan."

King Chu did not expect that Zhao Yao would sit on the ground and hold his legs to prevent him from leaving. This action was too inelegant and shameless.

"You get up first."

"I can't get up." Zhao Yao hugged King Chu's leg tightly and refused to let go, "Fourth brother, calm down."

King Chu looked down at Zhao Yao and said angrily: "I am calm, you are the one who is not calm."

"Fourth brother, I am not a child anymore. I will soon become an adult and become a king. I know what I am doing. I really am not angry with my father." Zhao Yao guessed what King Chu and the others were thinking, "I am taking advantage of myself." Am I a fool for venting my life and future against my father?"

King Chu said angrily: "I think you are quite stupid."

"Fourth brother, I'm not stupid, I really am not stupid." Zhao Yao raised his head and said to the King of Chu, "Fourth brother, you only see the dangers in Lingnan, but you don't see the rich resources in Lingnan."

"Rich resources?" King Chu had already learned from Zhao Yao what "resources" meant, "What resources are there?"

"Fourth brother, Lingnan is close to countries such as Annan and Johor. Do you know what this means?"

King Chu asked with confusion: "What does it mean?"

"It means that what the countries in Annan have, Lingnan will also have. For example, the rice in Annan can be harvested twice a year. I heard that it has been harvested three times now. The climate in Lingnan is very similar to Annan, which means that Lingnan also has It can grow three crops of rice a year." A few years ago, Lingnan had planted rice from Annan, and it would have been able to achieve two crops a year, otherwise the rice warehouse in Dazhou would not have been filled so quickly in recent years.

"Three crops of rice a year, seriously?" The King of Chu naturally understood the importance of three crops of rice a year.

Zhao Yao nodded repeatedly: "Seriously. There are many fruits in Lingnan that are not available in the capital or Jiangnan. Fourth brother, you have eaten dried fruits from Lingnan." Liang Run made the dried fruits from Lingnan.The fruits from Lingnan are delicious, but because they are too far away from the capital, the fresh fruits from Lingnan would have gone bad by the time they were delivered to the capital, so Zhao Yao came up with the idea of ​​turning the fruits into dried fruits.

The fruits of Lingnan are not available in other places. No matter people from the capital, Jiangnan or the Western Regions have ever eaten them, the dried fruits from Lingnan are very popular and sell very well.

King Chu had eaten it, but he was not interested in dried fruits or candied fruits, so he did not pay attention to this aspect.

"Fourth brother, if you don't say anything else, just talk about the fruit business, my second uncle has made a lot of money." Zhao Yao did not lie to the King of Chu. Liang Run just relied on the Lingnan fruit business and made a lot of money. The bowl is full. "When I go to Lingnan, I will let the people in Lingnan grow fruits, make dried fruits, and turn the dried fruits into tributes. This will allow the people in Lingnan to make more money."

This was something the King of Chu did not expect.Hearing what Zhao Yao said, his frown relaxed.

"Fourth brother, there are many trees over there in Lingnan, which are not found in the capital or Jiangnan."

“What do you want trees for?”

Zhao Yao kept raising his head, feeling a little tired, and raised his hand to signal King Chu to sit down.

"Fourth brother, let's sit down and talk."

The King of Chu sat down as he was told, sitting on the ground as imageless as Zhao Yao.Seeing that Zhao Yao's neck was a little sore from leaning back, he raised his hand to give him a squeeze.

"Fourth brother, there is a kind of tree called rubber tree in Siam and Johor. This kind of tree can only be planted in places with hot climate. I plan to get some rubber trees from Siam and plant them in Lingnan."

"Rubber tree, what kind of tree is this and what is it used for?" King Chu heard of this tree for the first time.

"Fourth brother, rubber trees can make rubber."

When King Chu saw Zhao Yao talking about the rubber tree with a bright face, he became more and more confused: "What is this rubber?"

"Fourth brother, let me tell you that rubber is a treasure. It has many uses. I can't explain it clearly to you now. You will know when I get it out." Zhao Yao did not mean to show off, but I really don’t know how to tell King Chu what rubber is, after all, he has never seen it with his own eyes. "I can only tell you that when I get the rubber out, I can make many good things that will benefit the people and benefit the country and the country."

"Is this rubber so powerful?"

Zhao Yao nodded vigorously: "It's very impressive. You will know when I make it."

The King of Chu believed in Zhao Yao's hands-on ability, and he couldn't help but look forward to it after hearing his vows.

"anything else?"

Zhao Yao asked: "Fourth brother, Lingnan's biggest resource, do you know what it is?"

When the King of Chu heard this question, he thought seriously for a moment and then shook his head: "I don't know." Because Lingnan was a place of exile, the King of Chu never paid attention to Lingnan.

"Sea transportation." Zhao Yao said excitedly, "There are many places in Lingnan that are close to the sea, and they are also close to Annan and Siam. It is much more convenient than shipping in Quanting County. The most important thing is Siam. There is a strait leading to Michel, and I heard that Michel is very prosperous, and we can sell our good things from Da Zhou to Michel."

King Chu was very shocked.He didn't expect that his tenth brother, who always seemed carefree, would have such far-reaching thoughts.

"There are many precious medicinal materials in Lingnan that are not available in the capital. Of course, the most important thing is that there are a lot of ores in Lingnan, including gold, silver, copper, and iron."

"How do you know there is gold, silver and copper over there in Lingnan?" King Chu asked, "Who did you listen to?"

"Fourth brother, there is gold, silver and copper in Annan. Do you think there is not in Lingnan?" Zhao Yao said seriously, "Lingnan is right next to Annan. If there is some in Annan, there must be some in Lingnan. When I go to Lingnan, I will definitely Someone needs to be sent to look for ore.”

King Chu: What my tenth brother said seems to make sense.

"Fourth brother, let me tell you..."

Zhao Yao also told King Chu about a lot of unique resources in Lingnan, and King Chu was stunned for a moment.

"How do you know so much?" King Chu didn't know anything about these things Zhao Yao said, and there were many things that King Chu heard about for the first time.

"I asked my second uncle to inquire about it." Zhao Yao said with a smile, "Since I have decided to go to Lingnan, I must first inquire about things there."

King Chu nodded, but soon he thought of something, and his expression suddenly became surprised and weird.

"I remember that your second uncle went to Lingnan a few years ago. Did you decide to go to Lingnan at that time?"

Zhao Yao quickly waved his hand and denied, "How is that possible? I only decided to go to Lingnan last year."

When King Chu heard this, he frowned and sounded a little unhappy: "You decided to go to Lingnan last year?"

Zhao Yao quickly smiled flatteringly at the King of Chu: "Fourth brother, I also heard my second uncle talk about a lot of things in Lingnan, so I came up with the idea of ​​going to Lingnan. Then I asked my second uncle to inquire carefully. After learning about the situation in Lingnan and learning that Lingnan is rich in resources, I made up my mind to go."

"Why didn't I listen to you last year?"

"Although I decided to go to Lingnan, I still feel a little hesitant. After all, if I go to Lingnan, it will be difficult to return to Beijing and it is impossible to change my fiefdom, so I have to think again." Zhao Yao lied without changing his expression, "After careful consideration, I still decided to go to Lingnan, so I told you."

"Tenth brother, you said it yourself. Once you go to Lingnan, it will be difficult to return to the capital. Are you sure you want to go?" Zhao Yao winked playfully at the King of Chu and whispered: "Fourth brother, wait until later. If you sit in that seat, I should be able to return to Beijing at any time."

King Chu glared at Zhao Yao and warned, "Don't talk nonsense."

"I'm not talking nonsense, Fourth Brother, I'll wait for you to sit on that seat." Zhao Yao said with a playful smile, "Then I will return to the capital every year because I am your dearest brother."

King Chu was amused by Zhao Yao's words and raised his hand to gently knock his head.

"You want me to sit in that seat, where is your brother?"

Hearing King Chu's question, Zhao Yao immediately became serious.

"Fourth brother, Bage loves me as much as you do. He will never love me less than you do. To me, you and Bage are both my best brothers. The palms and backs of your hands are all flesh, but Bage's temperament... …I still think it’s better for you, fourth brother, to take that seat.”

King Chu looked surprised. He really didn't expect Zhao Yao to say these words.

"Fourth brother, Bage is different from you. Bage has been without his mother and concubine since he was a child, and he is not favored by his father, so he is a bit stubborn. If he takes that seat, I'm afraid..." Zhao Yao couldn't say any more. , "Fourth Brother, you are more suitable for that position than Eighth Brother."

"I didn't expect you to think so."

"Fourth brother, I don't like reading, but not liking reading doesn't mean I'm as stupid as a pig. I think you and Brother Ba always underestimate my intelligence."

King Chu looked at Zhao Yao's angry look and couldn't help but smile: "Yes, I didn't expect that the young tenth brother would grow up."

Zhao Yao pleaded: "Fourth brother, I don't care about what happens between you and Bage, but I hope that the day you win, for my sake, spare Bage's life."

King Chu flicked Zhao Yao's forehead with his finger, "Although I don't like him, he is also my brother, and I will not kill him."

After hearing this, Zhao Yao immediately laughed: "I know fourth brother can't do it. It's me who talks too much."

"Tenth brother, let me ask again, do you really want to go to Lingnan and don't you regret it?"

Zhao Yao said with a serious face: "Fourth Brother, I really want to go to Lingnan. As for whether I regret it later, I won't know until I go there. However, even if I regret it, Fourth Brother, you can call me back to the capital when the time comes. , I will be an idle prince in the capital."

"You..." King Chu reached out and poked Zhao Yao's forehead, and said with a helpless and doting expression, "Since you want to give Lingnan a try, then you go. If you really regret it by then, I’ll let you come back.”

Zhao Yao clasped his fists with both hands and bowed to the King of Chu, "Thank you, fourth brother."

"Okay, stop playing tricks." King Chu asked Zhao Yao to sit down. "Lingnan is a wild land. You can't go empty-handed. I have to prepare something for you."

"Fourth brother, I was about to ask you for something, but I didn't expect you to ask for it yourself." Zhao Yao said with joy on his face, "Fourth brother, you are really my good brother."

"What are you going to ask me for?"

"First of all, it's money. It will definitely cost me a lot to go to Lingnan..." Zhao Yao said a lot of things without being polite.

After hearing this, King Chu laughed angrily: "You really dare to ask for it."

Zhao Yao shrugged and said: "Fourth brother, you also know that I have no money and nothing. My father will definitely not give me much when the time comes, so I can only ask you and Ba Ge for it." As he said that, he grinned. , smiled very thinly, "Don't worry, I will go to Bage later and ask him for something. I will never treat you better than Bage."

"Gungun, go find him and ask for something now."

"Then I'm leaving." Zhao Yao rolled away quickly.

After Zhao Yao left, Wei Mian asked: "Your Highness, do you really agree with the Tenth Prince to go to Lingnan?"

"He wants to go, and I can't stop him." King Chu already knew Zhao Yao's determination to go to Lingnan, and he would no longer stop him. "If he regrets it and doesn't want to stay in Lingnan, then I will let him come back. Besides, I can't let him stay in Lingnan for the rest of his life."

"Your Highness, His Highness the Tenth Prince still prefers you." Wei Mian said, "His Royal Highness the Tenth Prince thinks you are better than His Highness the King of Wei."

"I didn't expect it. After all, the tenth brother has been close to King Wei since he was a child." For this reason, King Chu had been jealous since he was a child.

"Your Highness, I think His Highness Ten is smart and understands things clearly." If His Highness was really a fool, how could he have done such extraordinary things. "You don't have to worry too much, Your Highness."

"Just listening to what he said, I realized that my tenth brother has really grown up." King Chu said with a smile, "Since he wants to go to Lingnan to do what he wants to do, as an elder brother, I naturally have to support him. "

On the other side, Zhao Yao has arrived at King Wei's Mansion and tells King Wei again what he said to King Chu before.

After hearing this, the King of Wei, like the King of Chu, objected at first, but later saw that Zhao Yao was determined to go to Lingnan, so he had no choice but to agree.

Zhao Yao and King Wei were also not polite, and the lion asked for a lot of things.

Even if Zhao Yao doesn't want it, King Wei will prepare a lot of things for him.

"By the way, Lingnan is so big. Have you decided which state in Lingnan you want to go to?"

"Think about it, let's go to Marsh Mansion."

"Aren't you going to Taichuan Mansion?" King Wei didn't know much about Lingnan, but he knew that the most famous place in Lingnan was Taichuan.

"No, Taichuan Prefecture is not close to the sea, so shipping is difficult."

"Marsh Mansion is close to the sea?" King Wei didn't know much about Marsh Mansion, and he didn't know where exactly Marsh Mansion was.

"It's close to the sea, and it faces Luzon across the sea." Zhao Yao picked up the pen and roughly drew the location of Marsh Mansion on the paper. "It also borders Annan, Siam, Johor and other countries. It is a very good geographical location. a place."

"It seems you have really worked hard."

Zhao Yao smiled proudly and said: "No, I told you that I didn't go to Lingnan impulsively, but decided after careful consideration."

King Wei was amused by Zhao Yao's cocky tail, "Okay, now that I know you didn't go to Lingnan impulsively, tell me about the situation in Marsh Mansion."

"Bago, you also know that only Taichuan Prefecture in Lingnan is better. Other places are very poor and backward. This Marsh Prefecture is very poor."

When King Wei heard this, he raised his eyebrows slightly and asked, "How poor are you?"

"It's very poor, that's what backcountry means."

Zhao Yao carefully told King Wei about the situation in Marsh Mansion, which made King Wei frown.

"Are you really going to Marsh Mansion?"

"Of course, the Marsh Mansion is ruthless and poor now. When I go there, things will definitely change."

King Wei was reluctant to let Zhao Yao suffer, "Tenth brother..."

Zhao Yao interrupted King Wei, put his hands on his hips and said, "Bago, don't stop me, I won't change my mind."

"you……"

What else could King Wei say, he could only find a way to help Zhao Yao and give him more things.
