Zhu Biao smiled helplessly. He knew that Zhu Yuanzhang hated corrupt and cruel officials, so he didn't go and provoke them.
"Father, please."
"Wait, don't go that way. Come with us.”
Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly changed his direction and walked towards an inconspicuous path.
"Imperial Father? What are you doing?"
Zhu Biao didn't understand and hurried over.
Zhu Yuanzhang snorted coldly." Boss, do you think we can still hear anything useful if we swagger in?”
Facing Zhu Yuanzhang's question, Zhu Biao suddenly realized and said in surprise,"Imperial Father means…"
"Imperial Father is a man of ten thousand gold. It's not good to eavesdrop, right?”
Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly stopped in his tracks and looked at Zhu Biao from the corner of his eyes. He said in an unquestionable tone,
"What's wrong with that?"
"We're just taking a look. What's that called again?”
"Oh right, Su Bai! What kind of medicine was he selling? He was about to die, yet he still did not stop.”
"What are you trying to do by deliberately getting close to our Fourth Brother?”
Zhu Biao nodded thoughtfully.
As Su Bai was a clansman of the guilty minister, no one could guarantee that he wouldn't have bad intentions.
"Imperial Father is wise. Your son did not consider properly.”
Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes flashed with ruthlessness as he sneered,"Boss, remember, you must be on guard against others.”
"He better be sincere in teaching Fourth Brother. Otherwise, I don't mind letting him experience what it means to be worse than death.”
Not long after.
The father and son chatted as they walked and arrived at the secret chamber of the Imperial Prison.
This place was specially built to eavesdrop on prisoners 'intelligence and prevent prisoners from plotting riots.
Sound could be transmitted from the outside into the secret chamber in one direction, and the inside was extremely soundproof, ensuring that the sound inside the secret chamber would not leak out.
Zhu Yuanzhang brought Zhu Biao to a sound amplifying device shaped like a washbasin. The sound from the other side of the wall came in continuously.
"Where were we last time?"
"Mr. Su, last time we talked about the economic center moving southward, and the north completely lost the 'dragon energy'.”
Hearing this, Zhu Yuanzhang's expression changed drastically. The already narrow secret room instantly surged with killing intent.
Dragon Qi?
Zhu Biao, who was standing at the side, also turned pale with fright. He never thought that a death row prisoner would actually dare to spout nonsense.
Dragon Qi symbolized the aura of an emperor.
Su Bai said there was no dragon energy in the north. Wasn't he cursing the fall of the Ming Dynasty?!
"Your son will be back soon." Zhu Biao stood up with a gloomy face.
"No hurry, sit down first. It's a good time to see the methods of the thief to bewitch people. It will also be helpful to you.”
Zhu Yuanzhang crossed his legs and placed his calloused hand on his chin as he said playfully.
"But…"
"There's no buts. We're right here. What are you afraid of?”
"Yes, Imperial Father."
Seeing Zhu Yuanzhang's attitude of having the world under his control, Zhu Biao couldn't persist any longer. He prayed silently in his heart, begging his fourth brother not to be bewitched by the traitor.
On the other side of the wall.
Su Bai threw away the chicken bone he had eaten, wiped his mouth and said: "Well, what did you conclude?”
"Uh, I think Mr. Smith might be making a fuss over nothing.”
Zhu Di took a deep breath and carefully chose his words.
"The Great Ming Dynasty has just been established and is still in the stage of a hundred things waiting to be done. After a few years, when the world stabilizes, there will naturally be no contradiction between the rich and the poor in the north and the poor in the south, and there will be no such thing as the north not having 'dragon energy'.”
"Wrong, very wrong." Su Bai lowered his head and tore off another drumstick. He didn't even look at Zhu Di and retorted casually.
Zhu Di frowned slightly, obviously not too happy about this. Although he was competing with his father, he was still a prince of Ming Dynasty.
If it was someone else who dared to curse Da Ming like this, his iron fist would probably have already swung over.
"First of all, you have to understand the relationship between the two. The economic center of the world moved south, not from the Ming Dynasty, but to the Ming Dynasty.”
Su Bai leaned against the stone table, nibbled on the oily drumstick and explained unhurriedly:
"China has a thousand years of history, and the economic center has always been in the north. There is only the East-West competition, not the North-South competition. The winner of the East-West competition will be the North-South.”
" However, after hundreds of years of development, as well as war, climate, and many other factors, the economic center of gravity gradually began to move to the south.”
"Su Lake is ripe, the world is abundant, the best place, rich.”
"Thus, it laid the foundation for the Great Ming Dynasty to attack from the south to the north. At the same time, the Great Ming Dynasty is also the only dynasty that has succeeded in the northern expedition.”
"This is the greatest difference between the Great Ming Dynasty and the past dynasties, but it has also created the most awkward situation for the Great Ming Dynasty.”
Su Bai raised his eyebrows and asked Zhu Di:
"What do you think it is?"
In the secret chamber across the wall.
Zhu Yuanzhang was shocked. He didn't expect that this prisoner named Su Bai had exposed the core of the current situation.
To put it bluntly.
The south has money and food, and the north has a strong army.
He could only choose one!
It was an extremely terrifying thing for the mighty soldiers of the world to be separated from the imperial power!
This was also the main reason why he had always wanted to move the capital!
However, he had not mentioned the matter of moving the capital to anyone. Unexpectedly, it was revealed by a prisoner on death row.
" Father, this…" Zhu Biao looked at Zhu Yuanzhang in disbelief.
Zhu Yuanzhang pressed his index finger to his lips, interrupting Zhu Biao's unspoken words, signaling him to listen quietly.
"You have such knowledge at such a young age. No wonder you coaxed our fourth brother so much.”
Zhu Biao opened his mouth, but no sound came out. A terrible thought arose in his mind.
Regarding the Dragon Qi.
It couldn't be true, right?
Was Su Bai a friend or foe?
On the other side of the wall, the lecture continued.
Zhu Di thought hard for a long time before he finally caught the main point of the question. He swallowed hard and said,
"Mr. Su, are you saying that you can't have both money and soldiers?”
"You're right, that's it."
Su Bai nodded and added:
"If we choose to keep an eye on the mighty soldiers of the world, then the imperial power will be far away from the wealth center of the world. The sky will be high and the emperor will be far away.”
"If we choose to protect the wealth of the world, then the millions of soldiers will stay away from the imperial power. There won't be any problems now, but who can guarantee that there won't be any hidden dangers in the future?”
"The reason for all of this is because the north has lost the 'dragon energy'!!”
The moment he finished speaking, there was complete silence.
Zhu Di felt a tingling sensation on his scalp, which spread to every part of his body in an instant. He was completely unable to remain calm.
If it was really like this, then Da Ming would die anyway!
"Mr. Su!"
" May I ask if there's a way to break out of this situation?!"
Seeing Zhu Di's panicked look, Su Bai wiped the oil off his hands and smiled: "Yes, but also no."
"This is a change that has never happened in a thousand years."
