Chapter 124
"Well, that's true." Zhu Gaoxu nodded, and pulled out another confidential letter from the side.

"We have no way of knowing what he wrote in the letter. After all, we have just arrived, and everyone in the inn is from the Mu family. I haven't acted rashly for the time being."

"But I have people follow his every move in the area, here."

Seeing his son looking at Mi Zhe seriously, Zhu Gaoxu crossed his arms.

"Judging from Hu Hao's actions, there is nothing unusual except that he sent a letter to the East Palace. He didn't even contact any officials when he visited Kunming.

"It can't be ruled out that he just came here and is hiding, but after all, this is your grandfather's name and sent here, and it's still just here, so we don't want to touch him."

"I know." Zhu Zhanhe closed the secret folder with a snap, and threw it aside.

"If you don't tell me, I won't move him, and not only now, but even if I want to move him in the future, I have to find a perfect reason, otherwise Yingtian's group of civil servants will be blown up."

"Let's not talk about him." Speaking of civil servant Zhu Zhanhe, he became angry, and immediately spread out on the chair, with his legs resting on the table without any image.

"Let's talk about the things we should worry about. How about the tea-horse market?"

"You don't have to worry about this." Having said that, Zhu Gaoxu laughed, but the emotion in his smile couldn't be hidden at all.

"After the Hongwu Dynasty, the tea-horse market has become very mature. Although we have just arrived, it is still very easy to take over."

"The Mu family has received the news from your grandfather in advance. The records of the local tea and horse trade are all there. We just need to send someone to follow the records."

"As for the patriarchs of those tribes... there is no way to do it for a while, after all, they still don't accept us now, so we can only take it slowly."

"Don't worry about those patriarchs, let's not interfere in this matter." Hearing what his father said, Zhu Zhanhe immediately corrected him.

"You have also seen the price of the tea-horse trade market. From the Hongwu Dynasty to the present, it has dropped again and again. The grievances of those tribes should have been very deep. If we intervene at this time, we may burn ourselves."

"Besides, last year Grandpa took advantage of the grassland's victory in building the Beijing Temple to frighten the ministries, and severely suppressed the price of the tea-horse exchange market by more than half."

"The Beijing Temple on the Grassland was originally built by your son and me. If we add it together at this time, I'm afraid they will directly use you as a punching bag."

Zhu Gaoxu was taken aback when he heard the words, he really didn't expect this.

At the very beginning, he thought of the tea-horse exchange as compensation from the old man to the father and son. After all, he had taken so many scapegoats, and in the end he came back without getting anything.

But now, hearing what his son said, why does he feel that this is not compensation, but a trap?
Yunnan is very large, and there are mainly three major tea producing areas. Although it is not half of Daming's tea industry, it can at least be regarded as one of its four limbs.

More tea is produced, which means more tribes to contact, and the price of the tea-horse trade has dropped this time, and my son is the culprit...

hiss……

Zhu Gaoxu gasped, feeling his heart go cold.

"Don't act like this..." Zhu Zhanhe couldn't laugh or cry when he saw his father.

"It's not that serious. No matter how you say it, our family will come to Jifan. Although your son and I are the main culprit for the price reduction in the tea-horse trade market, in the eyes of ordinary people, Jiufan is equivalent to giving up everything."

"That's why, although we may encounter some obstacles, there shouldn't be too many. It should be the end of complaining. After all, it's Grandpa who really makes the decision."

"It's just that this year is the first year, and I'm afraid it will be more difficult, but don't worry, we are representing Daming anyway, not to mention you said that the tea-horse market is already very mature. They all belong to each other.”

"Don't forget that the tea-horse trade was born because those tribes mainly ate meat and cheese. Without tea, they would get sick."

"No matter how deep the resentment is, they won't risk their lives to be angry with us, right?"

"Hmm..." After hearing what his son said, Zhu Gaoxu nodded in agreement.

He was not very good at this aspect, and during this period of time, he was basically doing boring work step by step. Thinking about this matter was not his strong point.

Now that the son is back, he basically just nods at what the son says, and has given up thinking.

"By the way, what are you doing now?"

"Didn't you already start attacking the south of the Taojiang River? Isn't this the most critical moment? I remember that Shenglong City is a place where Chen Jikuo stayed for a long time, don't you care?"

"Worried about the tea-horse exchange market? It's okay. With me here, although I can't manage it as well as you, you also said that it will be done step by step in the first year."

"Yes, and no." Zhu Zhanhe shook his head.

"The tea-horse trade is indeed part of the reason why I came back, because I am worried that some tribes with mental twitches will fight hard with us. After all, there are all kinds of people in this world, and nothing is strange."

"But that's not the main reason I'm coming back. The main reason I'm coming back is because I'm planning to get out."

"Get out?" Zhu Gaoxu didn't react all of a sudden.

"From where? Frontline?"

"Yes." Zhu Zhanhe nodded.

"At the end of the day, our family is still a vassal. 'Giving up the feudal land but not tin land, ennobling the nobles but not serving the people, eating salary but not governing affairs' is the ancestral motto set by Emperor Taizu Gao. Even if I do things well It's no use being pretty."

"As long as the ancestral teachings are still there, as long as grandpa doesn't completely give up Yunnan, no matter how much credit I have made, I will still be taken away in the end."

"Since I knew this was the case, to reach this level is already my reward for letting go of the tea and horse trade to my grandfather, and there is no need to continue."

"Now, I have to see what grandpa thinks and how he decides in the end."

"You can figure it out." When his son came back, Zhu Gaoxu had given up thinking, and everything was following his son's thoughts.

"But what are you going to do now?"

"What should I do?" Zhu Zhanhe rolled his eyes and collapsed again.

"I am now the heir of the King of Han who has already passed away. I am a grandson of the emperor who eats and waits to die. I am a dude who bears the stigma of killing gods."

"Of course I'm eating and drinking and waiting to die."

Seeing his son's confused look, Zhu Gaoxu laughed silently.

Now, although he still has no intention of giving up fighting, he is much less than when he was in Yingtian.

His son had just come down from the front line, Zhu Gaoxu didn't think about credit or anything, but because he knew that he was already a vassal, and credit or anything was basically irrelevant.

Secondly, he also hoped that his son would be more relaxed, because he knew that his son had too many burdens.
