"At least 50,000 catties, or else there's no need to talk about it!”
Zhu Moxie's attitude of not allowing any rejection left no room for negotiation.
Hosokawa Ono felt as if he was about to die. This guy was not afraid of bursting himself to death.
Fifty million taels of silver, even his father Zhu Jianshen's private savings probably didn't have that much, right?
However, the arrow was already on the bowstring and had to be fired. If he did not agree to his request today, not to mention asking him to help persuade the Transformation Monarch to send troops to help, it seemed that Hosokawa Masahara and himself would die here.
Although this little prince was extremely shrewd and had extraordinary means, he was also a lawless master. He was not afraid of causing diplomatic problems and bringing trouble to Great Ming.
Moreover, he had already won a battle thousands of miles away and knew about the situation in Japan. Hosokawa Daimyo could not even protect himself, so he had no qualms about knocking on his door.
He had only brought twenty million taels of silver, which was already his limit.
At that moment, he could only place all his chips on Zhu Moxie. Gritting his teeth, he struggled and said,""20,000 pounds is my limit.”
Zhu Moxie didn't reply, only smiling mysteriously.
Just as the atmosphere was in a stalemate, the girl who rolled the noodles came over with a plate and five bowls of steaming hot noodles.
She gently placed it in front of the five people and placed the chopsticks on the table. She moved her head slightly and whispered into Zhu Moxie's ear,""Your Highness, don't agree to him so easily. These years, the Japanese pirates have been burning, killing, and looting along the coast, causing more than just this amount of money to the Ming Dynasty. You have the world in your heart, so you must seek justice for those victims.”
Zhu Moxie smiled faintly when he heard this, but his eyes flickered with a cold light. After nodding, he picked up the chopsticks in his hand and picked up some noodles, sending them into his mouth.
The rich taste of pork bone soup filled his mouth and nose. The chewy noodles kept popping in his mouth, and the fragrance spread everywhere. Swallowing it into his stomach, he was filled with happiness.
"Good noodles!"
Zhu Moxie praised sincerely. He was used to eating the delicacies of the imperial palace, so he missed this kind of street food more. It was more down-to-earth and made people forget to leave.
Soon after, he began to eat heartily. In a short period of time, the bowl of noodles was swept clean.
Everyone looked at him in a daze. The dignified Crown Prince was actually sucking on noodles like a commoner without any regard for his image. His speed was shocking.
However, his approval of Zhu Moxie had increased by another level.
Usually, only a king who was willing to live in sync with the lives of the people was a good emperor.
Why was it that the founding emperor was often the most recognized by the common people?
This was because most of the founding emperors were born in poverty and had experienced the sufferings of the world. After obtaining the world, they could empathize with the common people the most and would naturally seek for the well-being of the common people.
Zhu Moxie felt the gazes around him and could not help but laugh.
He didn't expect that by revealing his true nature, he would inadvertently win over a large number of people's hearts.
Then, a trace of satisfaction appeared in his eyes.
The pugilistic world, punishing evil and promoting good, being admired by tens of thousands of people, this was the pugilistic world, this was chivalrous!
In his previous life, because of his identity as an assassin, he was destined to walk alone in the dark.
In this life, he seemed to have gradually begun to fulfill his dream of being a hero.
However, the last step could not be completed by just relying on his hot blood.
He needed supreme power. His words and actions were enough to influence the power of the world.
As the saying went, those who won the hearts of the people won the world.
This experience made Zhu Moxie realize that having power alone was far from enough. The greatest help in the world was the people's hearts.
Perhaps he had to work harder in this aspect in the future.
"Your Highness the Crown Prince is really amazing. With just a little trick, the commoners have a good impression of you.”
Shang Ming gave him a thumbs up and said in a low voice,""However, why are you ignoring him like this?”
Shang Ming didn't think that the mysterious Crown Prince would do something so meaningless.
"Just watch and fill your stomach first.”
Zhu Moxie chuckled and kept him in suspense. He didn't even turn his head, nor did he look at Hosokawa Ono.
Hosokawa Ono was sweating profusely. The Crown Prince of Great Ming was indeed terrifying. This psychological attack was too ruthless.
He clearly knew that the situation in Japan was unstable and needed Big Ming's help, but he didn't take out anything that would satisfy him.
It made him anxious and anxious, making him see his position clearly in the process of anxiety.
Right now, he, Hosokawa Ono, was the one who was passively requesting, and he, Zhu Moxie, was not talking business with him.
It was blatant extortion!
Don't be too arrogant, or just scram back to Japan and I won't bother with you.
After thinking this through, Hosokawa Ono was drenched in sweat. He was shocked to find that Zhu Moxie had been controlling everything from the beginning to the end. He was just a fish on the chopping board that could be kneaded at will.
He was definitely going to be eaten!
Hosokawa Ono was struggling with his thoughts. In the end, he gritted his teeth and decided to raise the price. He would pay the 20 million taels of silver in advance, and the rest would be paid off later. After the Japanese Empire was unified, he would use the excuse that the war had just ended and there were many things to do.
Who didn't know how to drag things out?
Immediately, he smiled flatteringly and said,"Your Highness, I've thought about it. The Japanese do indeed need 50,000 catties of pig iron.”
When Zhu Moxie heard this, he stood up and smiled at Xiao Ye,""Happy cooperation!"
Hosokawa Ono suppressed the excitement in his heart and hurriedly walked forward. He took out a large stack of silver notes from his bosom and respectfully handed it to Zhu Moxie."Your Highness, I only have 20 million taels of silver with me. After Great Ming sends troops to Dongying, I will give it to the general and bring it back for you.”
"No problem. We, the people of the Celestial Empire, are never calculative.”
Zhu Moxie's face was full of smiles. Although he was the Crown Prince of Ming Dynasty and had a carefree life, his monthly offerings were only so little, so he lived a rich life.
However, it was still far from enough to do something big.
These two Japanese 'friends' instantly became cute in his eyes.
He had just arrived in Hebei and earned 20 million taels of silver, turning into a local tycoon.
He was simply a child of wealth!
