1. Xiang King Zhu Bai, the incarnation of a money-borrowing maniac!
Daming
Twelve years later.
It had been three months since Zhu Bai, who had lived two lives, came to this world.
three days ago
Under the control of Hongwu Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang, Xiang King Zhu Bai and General Xu Da's third daughter, Xu Miaojin, were engaged.
After waiting for three months, it finally happened yesterday.
Zhu Bai was bound to the system--
As long as the host has enough materials, he can build anything!
With the support of the system, Zhu Bai could not live another day in the Imperial City.
The infrastructure system was too exaggerated. It could build a factory in a few days.
If it was in the capital, if outsiders saw it, the consequences would not be something he could bear.
therefore
Zhu Bai thought to himself that he had to find a spacious and sparsely populated place.
There, Zhu Bai could open up the infrastructure to his heart's content and build Great Ming!
--Qiongzhou
This was undoubtedly the best location in Zhu Bai's heart.
Qiongzhou was now located on Hainan Island, but at that time, Qiongzhou had not been developed much.
Most of the exiled criminals only went to Guangdong and Guangxi at most. Very few were exiled to Qiongzhou Island.
From this, one could see how desolate Qiongzhou was.
Qiongzhou had satisfied the conditions of low development and few people.
The most important point was that Qiongzhou itself was an island wrapped in seawater.
On Qiongzhou Island, build a salt factory.
The salt and iron industry was extremely profitable in ancient times, especially the refined salt that didn't exist at that time.
As long as Zhu Bai built a salt factory in Qiongzhou, it would be like building a gold mine.
The seawater was inexhaustible, so the silver would naturally flow endlessly into Zhu Bai's pocket.
Thinking of this, the young Zhu Bai was so happy that he almost flew up.
Although this idea was very good, there were still two big problems.
First, Zhu Bai was now the Xiang King. According to the development of history, he would be enfeoffed to the Jing State.
How could he go to Qiongzhou?
If he told his cheap father that he was willing to go to Qiongzhou to become a barbarian, then Zhu Yuanzhang's first reaction would be that his brain was burning.
Secondly, it was a problem that one would encounter at the beginning of a business…
He was short of money!
As a prince who had yet to go to the Tibetan land, Zhu Bai was also young and did not have much savings.
Although he could use the system's infrastructure, the system still needed raw materials!
You have to spend money…
He couldn't tell his cheap father, Zhu Yuanzhang, that he wanted to invest in a salt factory. As long as it was done, there would be a steady stream of silver in his account...
This thought flashed through Zhu Bai's mind.
But it also gave Zhu Bai inspiration.
Zhu Bai immediately called his servant over without a word.
The butler immediately came in." What orders do you have, Your Highness?”
"Hurry up and go! He packed all the useless herbs and antiques in the mansion into a gift box and filled it with more than a hundred of them.”
The butler was puzzled.
"There's no need to ask. Just do it quickly!”
"Here!"
······
Not long after, Zhu Bai was dressed neatly. With a gift box in his right hand, he strode in the direction of the Palace of Heavenly Purity.
Outside the Palace of Heavenly Purity, the eunuch guarding the door saw that it was Zhu Bai, the King of Xiang, and quickly greeted him.
"Prince Xiang, what are you doing?"
"Is Imperial Father here?"
"His Majesty is resting inside. Do you want this servant to go and inform him?”
"No need."
After Zhu Bai finished speaking, he strode towards Yangxin Palace Hall with the gift box in his hand.
"Your son Zhu Bai greets Imperial Father!"
Zhu Bai, the Xiang King, held the gift box with both hands and bowed towards the dragon table.
The Hongwu Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang, who was reading memorials, saw Zhu Bai come over with a gift box in his hand. He immediately put down the memorials in his hand and said with relief,"Our Bai 'er is still sensible. The other brats don't know how to come and see their father!”
Zhu Bai chuckled and placed the gift box on Zhu Yuanzhang's table. He walked behind Zhu Yuanzhang and rubbed his shoulders.
"Imperial Father has been working hard reading the memorials recently. Your son has specially brought a ginseng for Imperial Father to nourish his body.”
"My son is very thoughtful!"
Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes were filled with smiles as he reached out to take the gift box." We didn't dote on you for nothing!”
Zhu Bai only grinned, allowing his cheapskate father to enjoy himself for a moment.
" Father, your son has a request. I don't know if I should say it…"
As he spoke, Zhu Bai's hand movements did not stop.
"Alright!"
Zhu Yuanzhang, who was squinting his eyes and enjoying himself, suddenly realized something." I was wondering why you were so attentive for no reason. You're really a traitor!"”
Although Zhu Yuanzhang's words were harsh, his tone could not hide his love.
"Forget it, I've fallen for your sugar-coated cannonball today.”
As Zhu Yuanzhang spoke, he placed the gift box in his hand to the side and pressed his hands on the dragon throne. He said leisurely,"Tell me, what do you want?"
After receiving Zhu Yuanzhang's promise, Zhu Bai's lips curled up slightly." Your son doesn't want anything. I just want to borrow…"
"Borrow?"
Zhu Yuanzhang turned his head to look at Zhu Bai, who was still a little immature." Borrow what? Just say it!"
"I'm just afraid that father can't bear to…"
Zhu Bai deliberately provoked her and said resentfully,"Forget it, I'll go find my mother later."”
Zhu Yuanzhang, who had never been on guard against his son, waved his hand and said heroically,"Just say it. Father will definitely lend it to you!”
"Jun Wuyao?"
"You're not joking!"
"Your son wants to borrow money…"
When Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, he was stunned. Then, he asked in relief,"How much?"
As he spoke, Zhu Yuanzhang opened the drawer under the dragon table and grabbed a brocade bag.
"Lend me a million taels…"
When Old Zhu, who was busy opening the money bag, heard this, the money bag in his hand fell to the ground.
Stunned for a moment, he raised his head to look at the young Zhu Bai and said seriously,"What did you say?"
"A million taels?"
"What are you going to do with it?"
Zhu Yuanzhang immediately thought that someone was plotting behind the scenes.
Zhu Bai, who was in his teens, was still a child in Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes.
Someone must have been behind this to ask for a million taels of silver!
At the thought of this, Emperor Hongwu, Zhu Yuanzhang, was already a little intimidating.
He actually dared to have designs on our son. He's simply tired of living!
Zhu Bai saw that his cheap father was angry. Having lived two lives, he naturally understood that Zhu Yuanzhang was thinking too much.
"Imperial Father, didn't I just get engaged to Xu Miaojin? I want this money to build the Imperial Residence."”
Zhu Yuanzhang immediately widened his eyes and shouted," How big is the palace? It costs a million taels?”
" Your son has already said that it's a loan with interest…"
Zhu Bai lowered his voice, using a voice that Zhu Yuanzhang could clearly hear, and whispered,"" It's fine if Imperial Father is unwilling. So Jun Wujao was lying…"
"How much? How?"
Zhu Yuanzhang looked at his twelfth son, Zhu Bai, with interest." When will you return it?”
Hearing this, Zhu Bai immediately became serious and said seriously,""Borrowing one million taels, returning one million and five hundred thousand taels, and returning it in a year.”
