Daming: At the start of the showdown, Lao Zhu was stunned

Chapter 129 Monk, have you ever heard of sheep eating people?

"You want to do business with the grassland, do you want to befriend the enemy?" Zhu Shouqian asked again before asking why the two of them were here.

Judging by this momentum, Zhu Su must answer.

Now that the situation between Daming and Mongolia is tense, all kinds of materials are strictly prohibited from being exported outside the customs.If anyone transports food, grass and military equipment outside the pass, he will be punished immediately as collaborating with the enemy.

"...I really want to make some deals with the herdsmen on the grassland." Zhu Su explained patiently. "But it's not to support the enemy. It's another consideration. Things like food, grass and weapons will never be transported."

"Even if it's not food, grass, or weapons, it's wrong to trade with people from Yuan!" Zhu Shouqian poked his neck. "You are the king of the Zhu family, and your uncle worked so hard to expel Meng Yuan and establish the Ming Dynasty. How can you do such a thing as an enemy?"

Zhu Su did not expect that this stubborn Zhu Shouqian would be so concerned about Daming's Jiangshan Sheji.I saw Zhu Shouqian staring at him, his eyes were bloodshot, as if Zhu Su couldn't give a reasonable explanation and was about to punch him.

"Amitabha, His Highness King Jingjiang, don't be impatient." It turned out that Yao Guangxiao stopped Zhu Shouqian. "The Fifth Highness is talented and intelligent, and he is not very human. He must have his own considerations when he wants to do this. Did Your Highness forget to refrain from anger? Only in this way can we keep the Lingtai clear and demons will not arise."

"... What Master Daoyan said is true." Zhu Shouqian, who was like a child, was actually persuaded.Taking a deep breath, he returned a Buddhist salute to Yao Guangxiao. After adjusting his tone, he turned around and apologized to Zhu Su: "Shouqian spoke frivolously and offended Uncle Wu. I hope you will forgive me."

"Can Uncle Wu tell you what's going on in his mind? I'm impulsive, so I'm bound to be biased..."

Zhu Su was so shocked, he never expected that Yao Guangxiao could subdue the rebellious Zhu Tiezhu!One must know that Zhu Tiezhu had never been so well-behaved in front of Deng Yu.He looked at Yao Guangxiao in amazement and wariness, and finally resolved Zhu Tiezhu's confusion. "Meng Yuan ruled the Central Plains for decades, and you should have known about the extravagance and lust for pleasure, right?"

"I know." Zhu Shouqian said. "The Mongolian Yuan thieves squeezed the people and searched for the people's fat and people's anointing, causing anger and resentment. My uncle sent troops to the north to chase the Mongolian Yuan according to God's will, and returned my Han people to a bright future. This is well known to my Ming people."

Zhu Su nodded. "The Northern Yuan court fled, and those rich families in the Northern Yuan could only bring gold and silver with them in a hurry. They were used to living a rich life in the Central Plains, so let them continue to wear the smelly fur and eat on the grassland. Who would be happy with those coarse foods. They must miss the life in the pass in their hearts."

"If at this time, there is a caravan carrying a lot of silk, porcelain and other things from inside the pass to outside the pass..."

"Tell me, would those rich Beiyuan households who are poor and only have gold and silver left be willing to exchange the moldy gold in their hands?"

"Fifth Uncle wants to..." Zhu Shouqian's eyes lit up. "Use things like silk and porcelain to earn real gold and silver in the hands of rich Beiyuan?"

"That's right." Zhu Su smiled meanly. "Silk porcelain is nothing more than vanity. Those people who are used to enjoying these things suddenly lose their nostalgia, and they will definitely buy them even if the price is raised. And these gold and silver are in our hands, and we can use them to build Schools, forging swords..."

A gleam of admiration flashed in Zhu Shouqian's eyes. "Fifth Uncle is far-sighted, it's me, Meng Lang!"

After pleading guilty, he bowed to Yao Guangxiao, turned around and left.Seeing that the back view is no longer as lonely and gloomy as before, there is a hint of heroic and free and easy air.

He stared at Zhu Su in a daze.

"Monk, what did you say to Tie Zhu?" Zhu Su looked at Yao Guangxiao unkindly.Historically, his good friend Zhu Di was not in Zhuangzi, so he did not restrict Yao Guangxiao's personal freedom, but just humiliated him with his position as a groom.

Unexpectedly, Yao Guangxiao hooked up with Zhu Shouqian.He forgot that Zhu Shouqian, big and small, was also a prince.Could it be that this monk is ruthless and wants to instigate Zhu Shouqian to practice his so-called dragon slaying technique?
Seemingly seeing what Zhu Su was thinking, Yao Guangxiao smiled wryly and said the Buddha's name: "Amitabha, His Highness Fifth Highness misunderstood."

"King Jingjiang has a demon in his heart, and the poor monk just enlightened him a few words by chance. Just because he didn't want to waste time in the stable, he had the audacity to ask King Jingjiang to bring the poor monk to meet His Highness."

"Coincidentally, I overheard what His Highness was discussing in the hall. I hope you don't criticize King Jingjiang, this is the crime of a poor monk."

Zhu Su looked at him critically, but he believed it halfway in his heart.It was not a secret that he summoned the representatives of Zhuangzhong to meet. There were Wang Gui's two sons waiting outside the door.It's normal for Zhu Shouqian to bring Yao Guangxiao to find him and the guards don't stop him.

"You want to find me? What's the matter?" Even so, Zhu Su would not easily believe Yao Guangxiao, so he still looked at him suspiciously.

"I originally wanted to volunteer to come up with a strategy for His Highness to increase income and reduce expenditure... But now it seems that His Highness has a good plan in his belly, but this little monk has overstepped." Yao Guangxiao bowed his head and said respectfully.

"It's just that your Highness wants to open up trade, not just to sell some silk and porcelain to earn hard money, right?" There was a sparkle in the raised eyes.

What a monk Daoyan, he deserves to be Yao Guangxiao who was later called the demon monk!Zhu Su praised secretly in his heart, and at the same time became more vigilant.But he said in his mouth: "Oh? Then what other deep meanings can I have? Where did you know?"

"I don't know what the meaning is. But there are two loopholes in your Highness's statement." Yao Guangxiao talked eloquently. "First, there is a shortage of silver in the village. Even if it is really profitable to do business outside the customs, it will take several months to go back and forth. How can distant water quench your thirst?"

"Secondly, the poor monk heard that His Royal Highness bought chariots and horses in Yingtian City, and now he is summoning soldiers. Such a big move can't be just a small fight. As for the meaning of His Highness's wisdom is as deep as the sea, the poor monk really can't guess. "After that, he respectfully gave Zhu Su a Buddha ceremony.

Zhu Su looked at the monk with a half-smile.Indeed, the customs merchants provoke the arrogance and extravagance of the Mongolian and Yuan nobles. This is a high-sounding excuse prepared by myself for the princes of the court.After all, the court does not want the nobles of Mongolia and Yuan to lose their fine tradition of seeking pleasure.Such a big movement of merchants going out of the customs could not be hidden from the court. With this excuse, Zhu Su organized the merchants going out of the customs with the prince's money so that they could go smoothly without being involved.

But in fact, apart from providing Zhu Su with a stable source of income, this caravan has another more practical purpose.No, it is more appropriate to say that it is a purpose, rather than an experiment conducted by Zhu Su.More than four hundred years later, there was a vigorous movement in a distant country, which caused a huge class supporting the country to collapse.

Zhu Su didn't want a certain class in Daming to collapse, but this didn't prevent him from doing a small experiment to see if he could disintegrate Mengyuan and all the fierce and warlike grassland tribes from within without bloodshed.

If you want to completely control the grassland, you may have to start with this small caravan.

"Monk Daoyan, have you ever heard that sheep cannibalize people?" Zhu Su's eyes showed a meaningful coldness.
