Daming Greedy Wolf Star

Chapter 323 The Bottom Line
Zhu Zhanji wiped away the blood from the corner of his mouth in embarrassment, and pushed away Hu Shanxiang and Sun Ruowei who wanted to help him.

"Give up..." Zhu Zhanhe looked at his cousin in front of him with sarcasm on his face.

"You are the grandson of the emperor, the crown prince, and the emperor. But since the eighth year of Yongle, except for moving the capital, when have you ever stepped out of the palace?"

"But what about me?"

"Although I have never been to the battlefield or risked my own life, I have been on the battlefield. In this regard, you can't compare to me."

Not caring at all about his cousin's way of choosing people to eat, and not caring about Sun Ruowei's eyes full of hatred, Zhu Zhanhe sat on the steps.

Zhu Zhanhe took a bottle of unopened wine, patted the mud seal on it, and drank two sips of it.

"Tell me about you. It's obviously Tianhu's start. Not only do the chess pieces he has surrounded me, I'm just waiting to be killed, but it's still a clear trend, right?"

"But how do you do it?"

"It's fine if you don't trust me. I understand this. After all, it's human nature. But you favor Fu Ru and you would rather trust Wala than me?"

"Cannon, have you ever thought about what would happen if this thing got into Wala's hands?"

"What can we do?" Zhu Zhanji sneered, but still sat down, picked up the wine jar and took a deep drink of his own.

"No matter how bad the ending is, can it be worse than it is now?"

"Alas..." Zhu Zhanhe sighed deeply.

Snapped!
The thrown wine jar suddenly shattered, and at the same time there was a clear slap in the face.

The left side of Zhu Zhanji's face quickly became red and swollen, but he seemed unaware and looked at his cousin in front of him with full mockery.

"I already know that you plan to send Daning out in order to unite with Wala."

"Have you ever thought about why Emperor Taizu Gao would rather spend a lot of manpower and material resources to establish and stabilize Daning and Kaiping?"

"Didn't grandpa teach you how important Daning and Kaiping are? Didn't he tell you that Daning, Kaiping and Hetao are one, that both prosper and lose together?"

"Do you have to wait until the Hetao is lost, and let us Zhu's royal family and Zhao Song be led like sheep to the north, are you willing to go to the north!?"

"Cough cough..."

Zhu Zhanhe spoke with anger and passion, but Zhu Zhanji was calm. He didn't care about the redness and swelling on his face, nor did he care about his cousin's anger. Instead, he took a sip of wine.

“It’s true that I want to give up Daning, but who said I want to give up the Loop?”

Zhu Zhanhe raised his eyebrows but said nothing.

"It's just Daning. If you lose it, just throw it away. It's just a piece of shit. If they dare to accept Daning today, I can get it back tomorrow!"

"Haha..." Listening to his cousin's eloquent talk, Zhu Zhanhe sneered.

"Who gave you the courage? If it were me, I wouldn't dare say that I can get Daning back. I can only try to get it through means. Where did you get the confidence?"

"You gave it."

……

Zhu Zhanji's words made Zhu Zhanhe speechless.

"What, you forgot?" Zhu Zhanji raised his eyelids and glanced at his cousin with a half-smile.

"At the beginning, it was you who offered wool to grandpa. To this day, wool is a commodity in the imperial court and the grassland trade."

"Overgrazing will turn lush pastures into barren Gobi desert, and sheep will eat grass roots, exacerbating the degradation of pastures."

"You said this all, how could you forget it?"

"Haha..." Zhu Zhanhe shook his head and laughed.

"I really don't know whether to say you are ignorant or that you are not afraid of tigers."

"How long has wool been included in the mutual trade between the court and the grassland? Eight years, right?"

"You came all the way from the emperor's grandson. Although grandpa didn't let you handle government affairs when he was here, you didn't pay less attention to my uncle when he was handling government affairs, right? Have you heard any news like this from the grassland?"

Zhu Zhanji was stunned when he heard this.

"When you want to use a strategy, you must first understand the causes and consequences of the strategy being used, as well as all the processes."

"Let me ask you, do you know the process?"

Zhu Zhanji was still in a daze.

"It's okay. I don't know what I can tell you. Once the wool trade is adopted, it will be fine in the first year, the second year is when it starts, and the fourth and fifth years are when it reaches its peak."

"In the plan I gave to grandpa, it was necessary for Wala to raise Tan sheep and Ujimqin sheep. Of these two types of sheep, the former is in our territory of the Ming Dynasty, and Wala can only introduce it, while the latter was once exclusive to the nobles of the Yuan Dynasty. Yes, the quantity is very small.”

"So, in the first year of wool trade, the number of transactions was very few, or even non-existent. It was not until the second year that there was some improvement, and it was not until the fourth or fifth year that it became large-scale."

"However, after establishing a large scale, grandpa greatly reduced the quantity and price of wool trade. Do you know why?"

Zhu Zhanji turned his head blankly and looked at his cousin, with a dull look like a stupid patient.

"Haha..." Zhu Zhanhe sneered again, not stingy with his ridicule.

"Because in the final analysis, this wool plan is to make Wala himself slowly enter the abyss of destruction. As the implementers of the plan, we naturally cannot let the enemy notice our intentions."

"First of all, blindly increasing the volume of wool trade is a good thing for Wala who don't know the real situation, but there is no free lunch in the world, which can easily make them wary."

"Secondly, there is a limit to the wool needed by Daming. When the quantity of goods increases, the price will drop, and the wool will enter the homes of ordinary people. There will be a short window before entering the homes of ordinary people. This The window period will cause the court to hoard goods, which will only increase the expenditure of the national treasury."

"Finally, blindly increasing the volume of wool trade is a good thing for Wala who don't know the real situation, because what they need is our Ming Dynasty's food and money to hoard their strength."

"However, there is no such thing as a free lunch. As time goes by, they will inevitably become vigilant. Once they become aware of our true intentions, they will make our plans that have been laid out for several years fall to pieces."

As he spoke, Zhu Zhanhe grabbed his cousin's hair and forced him to look at him.

"The plan is very good. First, use the enemy to get rid of me as a scourge, and then use my strategy to destroy the enemy."

"But, your thoughts are too good, you don't know anything, you don't even understand the planning process, and you want to adopt it..."

"Not to mention compared to my grandfather and uncle, I'm even worse than you were 16 years ago."

"I didn't expect that the longer you live, the more you go back..."

After saying that, Zhu Zhanhe suddenly let go and watched his cousin fall down on the steps.

Hu Shanxiang raised her feet, but in the end she did not step forward because she knew that Zhu Zhanhe was actually beating her husband to wake him up.

But Sun Ruowei is different from Hu Shanxiang.

She rushed in front of Zhu Zhanji, supporting Zhu Zhanji and glaring at Zhu Zhanhe angrily.

However, Zhu Zhanhe didn't care.

Turning to look at the two figures behind Sun Ruowei, Zhu Zhanhe shook his head slightly and sighed.

"It's a pity. It's such a waste to raise Dahua's child for you..."

"Obviously they are hunting dogs, shepherd dogs, and can even detect the enemy's situation, but you have raised two useless dogs..."
