If I fail to overcome the tribulation, I can only return to the Ming Dynasty and become a prince.

Chapter 48 Zhu Di wants to train troops

Sun Yu's confession undoubtedly saved Zhu Zhanqi a lot of trouble. After all, if Sun Ruowei remained stubborn and refused to speak, there were not many methods he could use.

Although in Zhu Zhanchun's opinion, he could use Huairou or other methods to make Sun Ruowei open his mouth, but when he thought that this woman would give birth to such a thing as Baozong in the future, he did not want to use Huairou methods at all.

If it weren't for the fact that his magic power hadn't been restored yet, Zhu Zhanjun would have wanted to search the soul directly instead of going through this troublesome torture.

Fortunately, Sun Yu didn't seem to want to see Sun Ruowei being tortured, so he quickly told everything he knew.

Sun Yu undoubtedly knew more than Sun Ruowei. After all, these assassins who assassinated the emperor were led by Sun Yu from the beginning. He was also the leader of these Jingnan orphans in Nanjing.

It can be said that his opening was enough for Jin Yiwei to completely catch all these Jingnan orphans.

As for why Sun Yu opened his mouth, the reason was simple. After Zhu Zhanju asked a question, Sun Yu revealed that Sun Ruowei was a descendant of his benefactor Jing Qing. In order to repay his kindness, he saved Sun Ruowei's life. No matter what, he couldn't watch her die in front of him.

After getting this answer, Zhu Zhanyu felt that his intelligence had been insulted by the world.

Not to mention the historical records that Jing Qing attempted to assassinate Zhu Di and was wiped out of all nine clans. As Jing Qing's daughter Sun Ruowei must be a wanted criminal in the imperial court. Sun Yu himself was just an ordinary officer in the Yan army at that time. How could anyone be so virtuous as to rescue such a criminal?
However, Zhu Zhanjun was too lazy to pursue such nonsense. After knowing Sun Ruowei's identity and what Sun Yu told him, his work was done. As for the remaining work, it was Zhu Zhanji's own.

So Zhu Zhanquan just said hello to Zhu Zhanji and left Beizhen Fusi, preparing to return to the East Palace.

However, when he was walking halfway, Zhu Zhanjun was stopped by someone.

"Your Highness, Grandson of the Second Emperor, Long live the Lord has summoned you to enter the palace immediately." A eunuch respectfully saluted Zhu Zhankun and asked him to enter the palace immediately.

"Grandpa summoned me to the palace? Please allow me to go back and change my clothes." Because he was going to prison just now, Zhu Zhanquan was wearing casual clothes, which was obviously not suitable for entering the palace.

However, the eunuch stopped Zhu Zhanquan and said to him: "Your Highness, Second Emperor Sun, the emperor has said that you should enter the palace immediately. No matter what you are doing, you must put it down immediately and enter the palace immediately without delay."

"Okay, I'd like you to lead the way, my father-in-law." Seeing this, Zhu Zhanquan had no choice but to give up and follow the eunuch towards the palace.

Although he entered the palace 'immediately', it still took him nearly half an hour to walk from the palace gate to the emperor's bedroom and when he saw Zhu Di.

"My grandson is here to see you, grandpa, and I wish you all the best." Seeing that Zhu Di seemed a little impatient with waiting, and was flipping through the book unintentionally, Zhu Zhanquan hurriedly lowered his head to say hello to him.

"I'm sorry, there's no need to make these false etiquette, come here!" Seeing Zhu Zhanqun coming, Zhu Di threw away the book in his hand and asked him to come to him.

Zhu Zhanchun hurriedly walked a few steps and came to Zhu Di, and then he was grabbed by Zhu Di. A pair of big hands like iron pliers squeezed his shoulders and arms, making Zhu Zhanchun suddenly feel uncomfortable.

It's just that the person pinching him everywhere is the emperor and his grandfather, so he can only pinch his nose and endure it.

However, Zhu Di seemed to just want to confirm something. After squeezing Zhu Zhanchun's shoulders and arms, he let him go, and then asked him: "I heard that you can make alchemy?" "I dare not lie to grandpa. My grandson was cheated on Penglai Island." After eight years of being a fire-burning boy, I have indeed learned something." Zhu Zhanqi suddenly felt that it was not surprising that Zhu Di knew that he could make elixirs. After all, the Jin Yiwei in the early Ming Dynasty was not a vegetarian.

Moreover, even Yao Guangxiao came when he was refining the elixir before, and Zhu Zhanji also said that he would go out to spread the news among the nobles. This kind of unconcealed practice was called a ghost if Zhu Di didn't know about it.

But the emperor knew it, and he knew it, so if he asked directly, he would have an explanation.

After all, the man in front of him is the emperor. If he wants to live forever, he will ask Zhu Zhanyu to refine the elixir of immortality for him. Should Zhu Zhanquan refine it or not?

So he can only say that he has only learned a little bit.

Fortunately, Zhu Di didn't seem to want immortality, or perhaps after Zhu Zhanquan offered two red fruits to extend his life for 20 years, he had no interest in immortality for the time being.

But he became interested in something else.

"Can your Qianyuan Marrow Strengthening Ointment be used in the army? How much would it cost to train a guard horse?" As an emperor on horseback, how could Zhu Di not think of things that Zhu Zhanji could think of?And as an emperor, he is undoubtedly more grand than Zhu Zhanji, and he wants to train a guard horse when he opens his mouth.

However, Zhu Zhanjun did not want to make Qianyuan Marrow-Strengthening Cream for Zhu Di day and night in the future, so he explained to Zhu Di: "Grandpa, if you want to use Qianyuan Marrow-Strengthening Cream to train soldiers, Sun I can only advise you to change your mind. This method is not practical.

A tiger is enough to refine a box of Qianyuan Marrow Strengthening Ointment, and it is only enough for one person. The medicine must be used with special exercises to absorb the medicine, which requires a lot of food and consumption.

If grandpa, you want to train a group of personal guards or lieutenant generals, then it's just a matter of spending some money.But if the whole army is promoted, let alone one guard and horse, even a thousand-household court cannot afford it. "

"Why can't you afford it?" Zhu Di didn't talk nonsense and went straight to the core of the problem.

"According to our Ming Dynasty's military system, there are about 1120 people in a thousand households. Counting one tiger per person, this is more than 1000 tigers. Not to mention where to catch so many tigers, just a pot of Qianyuan Marrow Strengthening Ointment The extravagant expenses cost ten taels of silver, not including tigers, and a thousand-household house cost 1 taels of silver.

In addition to the inevitable increase in diet and the loss of weapons and equipment caused by the increase in training after the body becomes stronger, the money spent to support such a thousand households is enough for you, grandpa, to support three health clinics. It is not cost-effective. "

Although he said so, Zhu Zhanjun actually didn't know how much food it would cost to raise a guard and horse, but in order to dispel Zhu Di's thoughts, he could only say this.

After Zhu Di heard what Zhu Zhanyu said, he glanced at him and asked, "What if I have to train such a guard horse?"

"Then there are two options. One is that grandpa digs out the money and catches five thousand tigers. Based on two furnaces a day, five thousand furnaces can be made in about eight or nine years." Facing Zhu Di, Zhu Zhanyu naturally tried his best to refuse the request. After all, even if he really wanted to cultivate soldiers and horses, the efficiency of using Qianyuan Marrow Strengthening Cream was too low.

However, in order to appease Zhu Di, he also proposed another compromise plan: "As for the other option, use another recipe. Although the final effect will be worse, it is more convenient and faster."
