Ming Dynasty: Zhu Biao's younger brother, the most rebellious son in history

Chapter 51: Take the third and fourth brothers out of the palace? You have to pay extra!
The failed products weigh eight or nine hundred kilograms?
Zhu Biao was completely stunned by the yield per mu.

Yes, it really exists!
With Zhu Kai and Li Zhen around, Zhu Biao had no reason not to believe it.

"Okay, then just wait."

Zhu Biao had calmed down from the joy of achieving a yield of dozens of dan per mu.

"Second brother is right. It will take time for these three crops to become popular. Three years... The Ming Dynasty can wait! Second brother, you have done another great thing that benefits the country and the people! I, I thank you on behalf of the whole world."

"There is no such thing as the world. I'm just lucky and happened to get these seeds." Zhu Kai said.

Taking out corn, potato and sweet potato seeds from the super ocean freighter was indeed an idea to ensure that the people had enough food, but in Zhu Kai's heart, family was the most important thing.

As for the world and the people, Zhu Kai didn't think so much about it.

He was just doing the best he could. As for what happened after his death, whether the Ming Dynasty could continue for thousands of years...what did it have to do with Zhu Kai?

Seeing that Zhu Biao disagreed with his point of view and wanted to say something else, Zhu Kai guessed what he was going to say, but he had no interest in listening at all. He just waved his hand and said, "Brother, I am just doing what I can. I don't want to limit myself to a palace or a city. Don't say anything else."

"Who said I was going to say this?"

Zhu Biao was touched. No wonder his father said that as long as his second brother was around, he wouldn't have to worry about anyone daring to rebel.

With Zhu Kai's twin brother around, who else is qualified to covet the position of crown prince?

Zhu Biao: With my second brother around, my position as crown prince is as secure as an old dog!

Of course, although he was touched, he still had to be tough. Zhu Biao said to Zhu Kai, "I won't talk to you about this. Our third and fourth brothers want to go out and play. You can take them out later."

When Zhu Kai heard that Zhu Biao wanted to take Zhu Chong and Zhu Gang out to play, his face was full of disgust:
"The two of them? Who's willing to take them out at an age that even dogs would dislike? No."

"We have to do it even if we don't want to. Our father is very angry right now. If those two guys cause trouble, they will definitely be severely beaten by our father. It's better to let them go."

Zhu Biao looked at the disgust on Zhu Kai's face and laughed in his heart.

She said she disliked him, but once she told Zhu Kai about it, he would definitely take her away.

Zhu Biao was not a stingy person, and said to Zhu Kai: "If you take them out for a day, I will forgive you... one hundred, no, fifty taels of gold debt, how about that?"

Zhu Kai bought many shops outside and borrowed two thousand taels of gold from Zhu Biao. Now if he takes the two of them out, he will be exempted from fifty taels of gold each time. If he takes them out forty times, the debt can be forgiven.

"Brother, wouldn't it be awkward for us to talk about money?"

Zhu Kai pretended that he didn't want to talk about money with Zhu Biao, and then continued to dislike Zhu Chong and Zhu Gang: "The third and fourth brothers are always troublemakers. Besides, they are now at an age where even dogs would dislike them. Who would want to take care of them? And I have to take care of two at a time. Zhu Di alone is enough to cause trouble. How about taking care of two more burdens? No way!"

"Even if I let my eldest brother take you, I don't think you would be willing."

"..."

Zhu Biao's face darkened: "Tell me, how much will you add this time?"

"Brother, isn't it awkward for us to talk about money?"

Zhu Kai said with a smile.

Then he stretched out a finger and said, "One person, one time out... one hundred taels of gold."

Zhu Biao was horrified when he heard this: "...Why don't you go and rob!"

grab?
Zhu Kai curled his lips in disdain. How could robbing be as profitable as doing business with his elder brother?

Li Zhen didn't say anything either. He ate the skewers happily, drank beer, and watched the two brothers bickering with a smile.

The relationship between brothers is all about playfulness. The more you play, the better the relationship will be.

Zhu Kai was determined to give him two hundred taels of gold. Zhu Biao realized that he could no longer live in Li Zhen's vegetable garden, so he stood up and walked out: "One hundred taels, no more. I'll tell my third and fourth brothers later..." Zhu Kai was unwilling: "Brother, you can't cheat your brother like this!"

Facing Zhu Kai's complaints, Zhu Biao pretended not to hear them and continued to walk out: "Second uncle, I'm leaving first. When the potatoes are ripe, please let me know and I'll come over to take a look."

After Zhu Biao left, Zhu Kai continued chatting with Li Zhen: "Second uncle, you see, if my eldest brother didn't become the crown prince, he could also make a fortune by doing business. But he is so stingy and calculating, he is really cut from the same mold as my father."

"Uncle, once our potatoes, sweet potatoes, and corn are grown, the land in Daming will become less and less valuable. You should sell the rest of the land except for this vegetable garden. There is no point in keeping it."

"You know Feng Sheng, right? My cheap father-in-law stood by and listened to my father and I chatting for a while, and then he mortgaged the family land. Hehe, when our sweet potatoes and potatoes are ripe, the price of the land will only get lower and lower."

“It’s already sold.”

Li Zhen looked at Zhu Kai with a smile and said:
"Your Majesty told me that this land is becoming less and less valuable. Why should I keep it?"

"..."

This is another old witch.

"Second uncle, you are worthy of being called the master!"

Zhu Kai gave a thumbs up and said, "You are this one!"

"Hehehe..."

Li Zhen was so proud to receive Zhu Kai's praise.

This is praise from the young tiger of the Zhu family.

……

Yingtian Prefecture, the Mansion of the Duke of Song.

Feng Sheng was in the study, reading a letter from Li Shanchang. In the letter, Li Shanchang expressed his nostalgia for Yingtianfu and Zhu Yuanzhang, and also mentioned the problem of insufficient food and grass for the northern expedition. He asked Feng Sheng to persuade His Majesty to wait two years before the war, as he was too old to help Zhu Yuanzhang with advice and so on...

In Feng Sheng's opinion, this is all bullshit.

If you are really too old to serve Zhu Yuanzhang, there is no need to write this letter.

Aren't you just thinking about power?

What's the use? You can't bring it with you when you are born and you can't take it with you when you die.

The reason why Feng Sheng looked down on Li Shanchang was that he attached too much importance to power.

At the end of the letter, Li Shanchang expressed his apology to Feng Sheng, saying that Li Qi did not understand the ways of the world and actually took the land mortgaged by Feng Sheng. Li Shanchang stated that he had already reprimanded his rebellious son and that Li Qi would return the land deed to Feng Sheng in a few days. He also said that it was a title bestowed upon him by Zhu Yuanzhang and he could not take it.

When Feng Sheng saw this, he sneered.

I never thought of getting back the land I mortgaged.

Thinking of the conversation between Zhu Kai and Zhu Yuanzhang, Feng Sheng felt more and more that it was very wise for him to mortgage the land - if he was not afraid of affecting Zhu Yuanzhang's plan, he would have sold the land with great fanfare instead of doing it by mortgaging it.

Feng Sheng took out a piece of paper and then wrote: No need, my daughter has squandered all my money and I can't pay you back. The land belongs to your Li family and has nothing to do with me.

After writing it, he did not seal it in an envelope, but gave it together with the letter from Li Shanchang to the housekeeper and asked him to write back to Li Shanchang.

After receiving the letter, the housekeeper did not send it out immediately. Instead, he read it first, then put it in an envelope and sent it back.

After finishing all this, the housekeeper went to Wang's Braised Beef Shop while he was out buying groceries and told the waiter inside: "Feng Sheng and Li Shanchang have been exchanging letters. Please be informed."
