Jinling City.
With Zhu Di's arrival, the entire port instantly became busy.
500,000 jin of grain was not a lot.
However, it was definitely not a small amount.
Not to mention, there was also a huge whale.
The whale had been dealt with.
However, it was still extremely huge.
When the cart pushed the huge whale meat out.
Immediately, many people on the dock cried out in surprise.
"Heavens, what is that?"
"It looks like a fish. How can there be such a big fish!”
"I'm afraid that the Flood Dragon King from the sea caught it!”
"Look, these pieces seem to be a whole!”
.....
Voices mixed in, and the people in the crowd cried out in surprise.
Zhu Di did not care much about this. He wanted to seal it up, but there was really no such thing in this era to seal these things up. In addition, after drying them, he simply transported them out.
Of course, Zhu Di had another goal, which was to boost Zhu Bai's reputation.
In the Imperial Palace.
"What? You said that Fourth Brother brought back a huge monster?”
Zhu Yuanzhang looked at the eunuch who came up to report in confusion.
"Yes, Your Highness, the King of Yan. He used a cart to bring down a few incomparably huge bodies from the ship. They looked like monsters. The people in the city said that they were dragons in the sea!”
the eunuch said carefully.
At this moment, he couldn't help but gulp.
His affirmation made Old Zhu even more confused.
Not only was Old Zhu dumbfounded, but the important officials of the court, including Crown Prince Zhu Biao, were also dumbfounded.
"You said Fourth Brother brought back a flood dragon?”
Crown Prince Zhu Biao spoke with a dumbfounded expression.
The officials below were in an uproar.
"How can you spout nonsense!"
He could not help but speak, his eyes filled with a murderous aura.
The eunuch couldn't help but shiver in fear.
For a moment, he stammered and could not speak.
However, at this moment, Zhu Di transported the whale meat to the palace.
The whale meat was placed on the square, and Zhu Di requested an audience.
At this moment, Old Zhu, the Crown Prince, and the officials were all attracted.
He no longer paid attention to the eunuch.
Quickly announce it.
"Your son greets Imperial Father!"
Zhu Di stepped forward and spoke respectfully.
"King Yan, I heard that you brought back flood dragon meat?”
Zhu Di greeted him. Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help but ask.
His words also made everyone look at Zhu Di.
"Imperial Father, it's not a flood dragon, but a giant beast on the sea. I've already brought it here, so Imperial Father and the other lords can go outside and take a look.”
Looking at their reactions, Zhu Di naturally understood what was going on.
He smiled and gestured to the people outside the square.
"Killed by the Twelve Sons?"
Old Zhu was stunned for a moment, and so were the ministers.
But soon, Old Zhu's eyes lit up.
"Alright, let's go and take a look!"
Old Zhu said with a loud laugh. Then, he stood up and headed out of the hall.
As for the Crown Prince and the officials, they also reacted at this moment and hurriedly followed him out.
At this moment, on the square.
The whale carcass that had been cut up was reassembled.
Even if it was dried.
The huge whale still appeared.
The huge monster had shocked Old Zhu and everyone present at first sight.
"This, this!"
Old Zhu could not help but speak, just like Zhu Di back then.
Many of the officials behind him staggered and were almost frightened.
The whale was too big.
Compared to the ferocious beasts on land, the size of the whale could be called a monster.
They had never seen such a huge existence before. One could imagine how shocked they were.
"Fourth brother, this, this!"
The voice belonged to Crown Prince Zhu Biao.
Even he couldn't help but feel shocked at this moment.
Looking at the reactions of his father, brother, and even the ministers, Zhu Di couldn't help but smile even wider.
At this moment, he recalled the first time he saw the situation.
However, this was not the time to keep them in suspense.
Zhu Di knew that he needed to explain. Otherwise, it would be fine if he really thought that it was a flood dragon.
If it was thought to be an auspicious item, then his twelfth brother would be in trouble.
"This is a huge fish from the sea. It is said that the meat is fat and delicious, even better than beef. Eating it is enough to prolong one's life.”
He gave a simple explanation of the whale.
This explanation made everyone's eyes light up.
They might not have been able to hear everything else clearly, but everyone present had heard clearly about extending one's lifespan.
From Qin Han until now, everyone basically knew that it was impossible to live forever.
However, extending one's lifespan was already a priceless treasure.
Even Old Zhu couldn't help but be delighted.
"Good, very good!"
"As expected of our son!"
"Fourth Bro, you did well."
Old Zhu laughed loudly. At this moment, his expression had already returned to normal.
Although they were still shocked by the whale's size.
However, if it was just a big fish in the sea, it would not be so shocking to him.
Even if this fish was really a little big, it was the same.
"Imperial Father, Twelfth Brother did not just bring back this big fish for Imperial Father. He also brought back 500,000 catties of food.”
Feeling Old Zhu's joy, Zhu Di smiled. In the next moment, he spoke again.
"Do you need 500,000 catties of food?"
"Alright, although the Imperial Court is lacking in food, five hundred thousand jin is still enough.”
"What?"
Old Zhu did not react immediately. He thought that Zhu Bai was asking for 500,000 catties of food and was about to agree casually. However, Old Zhu quickly reacted. He turned to look at Zhu Di with a stunned expression. He was in disbelief and also stunned.
