Ming Dynasty: At the beginning of the game, Lao Zhu resigned and retired.

Chapter 478: Break it into pieces and stuff it into your mouth

As Zhu Yuanzhang listened, he felt something was wrong.

No!

Did you get the wrong person?

These words seem possible for anyone else to say.

But how could it be possible that this was said by Mr. Hu, an old man?

What does it have to do with a simpleton like Mr. Hu, whether he is a hegemon or not, or whether he conquers or not?

How could he, a man who doesn't even like to attend court meetings, care about this?

"Mediocre!"

"Is there something wrong with you?"

"Why are you so confused and obsessed with things at sea and overseas?"

"Let's not talk about other things here. Even the Northern Yuan Dynasty hasn't been completely destroyed yet!"

It’s no wonder that Zhu Yuanzhang was confused.

It is true that in recent years, Mr. Hu has made his image as an old and indifferent person deeply rooted in people's hearts.

Not to mention Zhu Yuanzhang, who in the entire Ming Dynasty who knew something about Master Hu didn't know him?

As a result, the style of painting suddenly changed. Who wouldn't be afraid of this?

Especially for someone like Zhu Yuanzhang who was already very suspicious, it would be strange if he was not worried.

This is because I am afraid there is a trap.

When Mr. Hu heard what Zhu Yuanzhang said, he became furious.

This old Zhu really can't change the small peasant mentality in his mind.

Although he was already an emperor, he was always limited by his background and knowledge in his career.

In fact, Mr. Hu had seen this kind of person in his previous life.

From a vendor or an ordinary farmer, he eventually became a billionaire boss.

From beginning to end, what changed was only the amount of capital he controlled, not the level.

They will stubbornly use their original set of ideas to look at their future careers.

But in fact, their success is more a coincidence of national development and personal efforts.

No matter how they pretend to be cool or how they brag about their success, in fact some things can be seen with just the slightest contact.

The same is true of Zhu Yuanzhang.

Mr. Hu never denied Zhu Yuanzhang's ability and character.

A man who rose from a beggar to the highest position in the country cannot be summed up by simple sour words like luck.

But this cannot conceal the limitations of Zhu Yuanzhang's vision.

To put it bluntly, he has been using that method to run an empire.

Some things may be fine in wartime, but would be a big mistake to use them in a development-oriented era.

"Your Majesty, let's speak from the heart."

"I am a lazy person. I am really lazy. I would never sit if I can lie down, and I would never stand if I can sit."

"I have struggled for most of my life. Now I have fame, wealth, and everything else. I should be content!"

"At least among the ministers, I can't find anyone who is more comfortable than me. Your Majesty, what do you think?"

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded cautiously.

He really couldn't deny this.

The only thing Mr. Hu lacks now is the title.

But in fact, both the king and his subject knew that the so-called title had already been obtained by Master Hu.

Master Hu exchanged it for sweet potatoes and potatoes, two kinds of magical food.

It’s just that it hasn’t been given out yet.

As long as these two kinds of grain are promoted on a large scale to a certain extent, the title will naturally be given to Master Hu.

Apart from the title, he really lacks nothing in other aspects.

When Mr. Hu saw Zhu Yuanzhang nodded, he secretly spat in his heart.

This old man is extremely vigilant. If it were an ordinary person, he would be easily fooled.

But he doesn't!
He is stubborn and doubts everything.

To be honest, if it weren’t for the fact that Mr. Hu still had some dreams in his heart, some luxury called “ideal”.

He really doesn't want to deal with Lao Zhu.

Because he felt that every time he dealt with Lao Zhu, he was jumping back and forth on the line of death.

"Your Majesty, even though I'm so lazy, I still hope that my life will be better!"

"But I don't want to work hard or move anymore, what should I do?"

"I thought about it and came up with one solution."

"Since the Ming Dynasty and I have long been tied together, can't I just let Your Majesty lead the Ming Dynasty to develop better?"

"The stronger and richer the Ming Dynasty becomes, won't my life become better?"

“That’s why I brought this up!”

"Let Ming become the overlord of the ocean, earn a lot of money, and conquer a lot of territory!"

Zhu Yuanzhang was silent.

There was a long silence.

Because what Mr. Hu said was too straightforward.

It was so straightforward that he understood it immediately and couldn't figure out anything else.

This is just an idea that the old man came up with in order to lie down better.

I didn't think too much about it, and I wasn't wrong. I just wanted to lie down better.

But all this was unacceptable to Zhu Yuanzhang.

Because in his view, war is a waste of money and labor, and businessmen are corrupt and insatiable.

It would be best if all farmers in the world could farm honestly and officials could be honest herdsmen, and then the world would remain unchanged, which would be great.

He even listed more than a dozen countries that were not to be conquered, and strictly ordered his descendants not to attack them in the Ming Dynasty's ancestral precepts.

These are actually the reflection of Lao Zhu’s truest thoughts.

But the thing he had held on to for so long began to shake after it came into contact with Master Hu.

Mr. Hu's past achievements, level, status, and knowledge all support the views he expressed.

In other words, what Mr. Hu said was right, and everything he insisted on in the past was wrong.

What bad news was this for a proud yet stubborn man like Zhu Yuanzhang?
Seeing that it had come to this, Old Zhu still refused to give in, and Master Hu sighed silently.

'This old Deng is so damn stubborn!'

"It has come to this, why are you still holding on?"

"I've clearly explained the benefits to you. Are you going to hold on just for the sake of so-called face?"

"This is totally incomprehensible!"

"Fuck! I shouldn't have come to complain to this old man. It's so annoying!"

No matter what Mr. Hu thinks in his heart.

Now that we've come this far, we can't give up halfway.

After taking a look at Old Zhu, who was frowning and looking gloomy, Master Hu simply used drastic measures.

"Your Majesty, let's not play those empty tricks anymore!"

"Let me ask you, would you like to have lots of gold, silver, and good farmland?"

This time, Old Zhu didn't pretend to be dumb anymore and nodded very honestly.

“These are exactly what we want!”

Master Hu clapped his hands in understanding and said excitedly.

"Then how about this, if you do as I say, I guarantee that you can make a lot of money and get a lot of good farmland, how about that?"

"I just want money and good farmland, simple!"

"I have accomplished all of this for you!"
