Orange?
When they heard this, Zhu Di and the other two were dumbfounded.
Orange would only ripen after the Mid-Autumn Festival.
It was only the 5th of May, and the oranges had just bloomed.
Where were they going to find ripe oranges?
For a moment, the Qin and Jin kings felt that Fang Yunfei was deliberately teasing them.
"Don't worry. Actually, we can still find them.”
"As far as I know, the wealthy families of the capital all like to build their own ice cellars in their residences. Firstly, it could cool down during summer, and secondly, it could preserve some fruits and vegetables that were prone to decay.”
"Jinling is such a big city. Maybe that dignitary likes to eat oranges and keeps some in his icehouse.”
"You can ask someone you know,"
Looking at the four people's troubled expressions, Fang Yunfei immediately understood their thoughts and gave them some advice.
"I'm afraid we'll have to go to the Duke of Korea. Who doesn't know that the Duke of Korea is rich!"
"Other than the Duke of Korea, Duke Xin should have one too. I'll go take a look now."
"Don't just count on the Duke of Korea and the Duke of Xin. Let's go and take a look at the other uncles. Who knows, maybe we'll bump into each other?"
“……”
When they heard Fang Yun Fei mention the ice cellar, the first reaction of the King of Qin and the King of Jin was to think of the Duke of Korea, Lee Shan Chang, and the Duke of Xin, Tang He.
As the leader of the six founding dukes and the number one civil official of the Ming Dynasty, the Duke of Korea, Lee Shan Chang, had a very rich family fortune.
In addition, after Hu Weiyong's case, Li Shan Chang took the initiative to stay away from the court and enjoy life wholeheartedly.
There were countless treasures in the house.
Although Tang He had been conferred the title of duke later than Li Shanchang, he was Zhu Yuanzhang's most trusted general and one of the few generals in history who had died well in the Hongwu period.
He had received countless rewards, so he naturally did not lack money.
Now that the Duke of Wei, Xu Da, and the Duke of Cao, Li Wenzhong, were in charge of the world's military forces, Tang He, who was bored out of his mind, had also fallen in love with delicious food.
They ate and drank all day long and were very happy.
There were all kinds of delicacies from all over the world.
Out of all the nobles in Jinling, only the two of them were likely to store oranges in the ice cellar.
"But what if these people didn't store any oranges? Do we have to wait until the Mid-Autumn Festival?"
The usually meticulous Zhou Wang asked.
"Other than this, there's another method, but it's more troublesome.”
"As far as I know, other than Jiangnan, Guangdong, Yunnan, Guizhou, Annan, and Champa also have oranges.”
"And the further south you go, the later the oranges ripen.”
"Annan and Champa even have oranges that only ripen in the twelfth month and the first month.”
"If you're not afraid of trouble, you can send someone over to ask. Perhaps he could find a suitable orange.”
Fang Yunfei replied.
"Isn't it just Guangdong and Guangxi, Yungui, Annan, and Champa? If I personally write a letter to Marquis Xiping, I don't have to worry that he won't help.”
"That's right! I'll let the head of the guards go to Champa City and Annan personally. If he couldn't find any oranges, he wouldn't have to come back.”
As soon as Fang Yunfei finished speaking, the King of Qin and the King of Jin patted their chests and promised.
Guangdong, Guangxi, and Guizhou were all territories of the Ming Dynasty, while Annan and Champa were vassal states of the Ming Dynasty.
It was naturally easy for the King of Qin and the King of Jin to send people to these places to search for oranges.
The only problem was Yunnan.
That place was still in the hands of Northern Yuan's Liang King, Dali's Duan Clan, and Luchuan Chieftain Si Lunfa.
These three people were either Big Ming's mortal enemies or harboring evil intentions.
It was more troublesome to go to their territory openly.
However, it was still possible to secretly send a few people to sneak into Yunnan.
Furthermore, the deputy general in charge of attacking Yunnan was Marquis Muying of Xiping.
He was Zhu Yuanzhang's godson, and also the godbrother of Zhu Biao, Zhu Xi, and the others.
If Zhu Rong and Zhu Rong opened their mouths, wouldn't Mu Ying, the elder brother, arrange everything properly?
"There's no time to lose. Little Wang will make the arrangements now. Old Fourth, Old Fifth, you guys accompany Mr. Fang well for the next few days. All expenses will be on this king!”
"Second Brother, how can you do this alone? Fourth Brother, Fifth Brother, as long as Mr. Fang is happy, I'll cover all the expenses!”
The King of Qin, Zhu Xi, and the King of Jin, Zhu Xi, left the Tenth Prince's Mansion in a hurry to look for Li Shan Chang and Tang He to search for oranges.
Zhou Wang, who was standing at the side, was flabbergasted.
Forget about Second Brother!
His third brother was famous for being a miser, but now he was actually willing to pay!
How rare!
Zhu Di was very indifferent.
It concerned the life of his family and the continuation of his bloodline.
What was a little money?
If it were him, he would be ten times more generous than them!
Fang Yunfei smiled.
You bastard who doesn't spend money!
Since you've said so, I'll let you see what it means to spend money like dirt!
What was spending a lot of money!
