"It's nothing much. After we take down the northern border, the livestock business in the northern border will belong to the shipping chamber of commerce. Also, the chamber of commerce wants people. After the war in the northern border, all the captives will belong to the chamber of commerce.”
"Take down the northern borders?"
Yang Shiqi said in shock.
This Yue King's heart was not ordinary!
The northern border was so vast, and it was so easy to conquer it.
The Emperor had conquered the grasslands five times, but so what?
Now, he was trapped in a dilemma on the grassland!
Even the current Emperor only wanted to weaken the power of the Northern Borderline and had no intention of conquering the Northern Borderline. How dare the King of Yue say that he wanted to conquer the Northern Borderline?
"What's wrong? You don't believe that I can conquer the northern borders? Grand Elder Yang, why don't we make a bet?”
Yang Shiqi was stunned and asked,"
"What does Your Highness Yue Wang want to bet on? I don't have anything, much less money, but I have nothing to bet with His Highness.”
Zhu Zhanyong smiled maliciously and said,"
"Gambling is so boring. How about this, Grand Secretary Yang, if I can't take down the northern border, I, Zhu Zhanyong, will strip naked and run around the city. If you lose…"
"Don't! Please don't. I won't do such an insulting thing. I'm old, and I can't afford to lose face.”
Without waiting for Zhu Zhanyong to finish, Yang Shiqi quickly shook his head.
What a joke. He was a cabinet elder of the imperial court, and his status was extremely high. If he were to strip naked and run around the city, he would rather kill himself.
And even if he won, he wouldn't dare to let this prince, Zhu Zhanyong, run around the city naked!
"Tsk, how boring!"
Zhu Zhanyong said in a somewhat disappointed manner.
"Enough! This is the cabinet, not a place for you to mess around!”
Zhu Gaochi finally couldn't stand it anymore and scolded angrily.
"I was just joking. Why is Father so serious?”
Seeing that his father was really angry, Zhu Zhanyong smiled awkwardly.
Zhu Gaochi ignored him and asked seriously,"
"That's all? Is that all?"
"Yes, that's all. That's all!"
Zhu Zhanyong said with certainty.
Yang Pu frowned and said,
"Your Highness Yue Wang, what does your Chamber of Commerce need those captives for?”
"Working hard! Our Chamber of Commerce has thousands of ships. How can we do it without a sailor? How can the people of my Ming Dynasty do hard labor?”
Zhu Zhanyong said righteously.
Yang Pu was dumbfounded by Zhu Zhanyong's words.
Zhu Gaochi took a deep look at his son. After pondering for a while, he said,"
"Good! I agree to this condition!"
"Hehe, thank you, Father!"
"Get lost. I get angry just looking at you!”
"Alright!"
Zhu Zhanyong turned around to leave.
"Wait!"
"Father, is there anything else?"
Zhu Zhanyong looked back at his father in confusion.
"Be careful when you reach the northern border. Remember, I don't care about anything else. You must bring your grandfather and brother back safely!”
Zhu Gaochi's tone was very solemn, and his eyes were filled with worry.
Zhu Zhanyong felt warmth in his heart and nodded seriously."
"Father, don't worry. I will bring grandfather and big brother back safely!”
"Yes, I am. Go on, Father…I won't send you off!”
"Yes."
Zhu Gaochi only retracted his gaze after Zhu Zhanyong's figure had left.
He looked at the three elders and said,"
"Three Pavilion Elders, write a report to the Emperor!”
In front of Desheng Gate.
"Son, you have to take it easy on the battlefield. Mother only gave birth to you brothers. Now that your brother's life and death are unknown, and you want to go to the northern border, if anything happens to you, how can Mother live?”
"Son, the northern border is cold. Mother has prepared a lot of cold clothes for you. Remember to wear them!”
"Son, you must bring your brother back safely.”
Zhu Zhanyong helplessly looked at his mother, Zhang Shi, who was sending him off.
Along the way, Zhang shi had been nagging. Zhu Zhanyong also nodded obediently. Whatever Zhang shi said, he would agree.
Zhu Zhan Yong knew that at this time, if there was the slightest bit of impatience, Zhang shi would definitely cry for him to see.
"Mother, don't worry! Your son promises that he will bring Big Brother back safely. Your son is very smart. Think about it, when have I ever suffered a loss all these years?”
"That's right. You're just like me. Unlike your father, who doesn't say anything even when he suffers a loss!”
"Mother, we're here. We'll leave the city after sending them off. Military matters are urgent, so I can't delay for too long.”
Zhang shi looked at Zhu Zhan Yong. She still had a thousand words of blessing in her heart, but in the end, she could only say one sentence:
"Son, come back early!"
"Yes!"
