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

Chapter 761: No Mercy

Zhu Su was not very familiar with his third sister, Princess Anqing. He only remembered that this sister looked delicate and timid, had no independent opinions, and was not conspicuous among the other sisters. Perhaps it was for this reason that Lao Zhu and Queen Ma did not marry their daughter to a noble family like other princesses, but to Ouyang Lun, a commoner with a Jinshi background. She is also worried that if she marries a powerful noble family, she might be bullied.

However, although Ouyang Lun was not of high origin, he was very utilitarian, which Lao Zhu did not expect. Zhu Su had never been very fond of this golden brother-in-law, so even though Ouyang Lun was much older than Zhu Su, Zhu Su still wanted Ouyang Lun to call him "brother", just to let Ouyang Lun get to know him a little bit. A soft nail can let Ouyang Lun know that he actually does not welcome him.

However, I don’t know whether Ouyang Lun really didn’t understand or was pretending not to know. In short, when he saw Zhu Su raising his hand to support him, Ouyang Lun actually straightened his knees and said with a smile: "In this case, Lun will not go out any more and call out." Your Highness, just say 'brother' and that's it."

"My brother went thousands of miles to join the army, and with His Highness King Yan to uphold the prestige of our Ming Dynasty, it is really the glory of my Zhu family..."

Zhu Su smiled modestly, and the host and guest took their seats and exchanged some vain greetings. Zhu Su deliberately did not ask Ouyang Lun about his intention to come. Instead, he just chatted with him in the south and the north, not giving him a chance to talk about going to sea to explore and make plans. He waited to see if this handsome brother-in-law would lose his composure first.

Sure enough, after a while, Ouyang Lun's pretentious face showed a hint of anxiety. After a while, he finally couldn't bear it anymore and interrupted Zhu Su's talk about the local customs and customs of the poisonous body. He said abruptly: "Brother, it is said that Tie Xuan, the governor of Fengmingzhou who is now in charge of many affairs of Fengmingzhou, He is a great disciple who is very close to you, is this possible?"

The topic of body poisoning came to an abrupt end. Zhu Su slowly closed his mouth, then smiled slightly and said: "That's true, what? So what?"

"That's good, that's good..." Xu felt that Zhu Su was a little unhappy, and Ouyang Lun looked a little embarrassed. After laughing twice, he continued: "Lun is here because there is something going on in the house. I want to Follow my brother’s path and establish some contact with Lord Tie…”

"Oh?" Zhu Su pretended not to know. "My disciple traveled far away from Fengming Continent, which is a hundred and eighty thousand miles away from the Ming Dynasty."

"You are such a dignified prince-in-law. What can happen to your family that you can use him from far away to help you?"

"This... I'm ashamed to say that my brother doesn't know something..." Ouyang Lun said. He let out a long sigh, pretending to be worried: "Even though my Ouyang family, the Prince Consort's Mansion, has received the favor from my father, it can still be regarded as a shining lintel."

"But in fact, it's just superficial. This dignity needs to be supported by various things on the inside..."

Next, Ouyang Lun began to complain to Zhu Su with a sad face. What he said was that his family's foundation was originally weak. In order not to lose face to Princess Anqing and the Tian family, he gritted his teeth and held on to the lintel of the Ouyang family. However, the money poured out like running water, and it was about to end the river. Dry……

Zhu Su sneered in his heart. Most of the prisoners who had their homes confiscated and beheaded because of corruption seemed to have said the same thing. This Ming Dynasty's Prince Consort might have forgotten Lao Zhu's killing methods in the past few years.

Or maybe he thought that because of his status as a royal relative, Lao Zhu's butcher's knife would never fall on his head?

"...Therefore, I would like to ask you, brother, to come forward and give Zhang Yun a note allowing my Ouyang family to trade with Fengmingzhou, so that I and the princess can have a living that can cover the expenses, and will not lose my Zhu family. Of dignity..." Ouyang Lun said with a sneer, looking at Zhu Su with burning eyes. The sea route to Fengmingzhou is difficult to navigate. Without Tie Xuan's fleet to lead the fleet, these merchant ships really don't have much chance of crossing the ocean on their own. Therefore, if you want to do business in Fengmingzhou, you must agree to Tiexuan and others.

"You want Fengmingzhou's business prospectus? Then just go to the Ministry of Household Affairs and the Maritime Affairs Department for approval. What's the point of asking me?" Zhu Su pretended to question.

The Maritime Affairs Department is now in charge of Yang Shiqi. He is a malleable talent and an upright person, so naturally he will not be open to Ouyang Lun. What's more, although Ouyang Lun is a relative of the emperor, he is also a Jinshi and is considered a civil official. When a civil servant engages in business, he is violating the new law. Who would be willing to open such a contract for him?

"This...brother, Lun only has this family business. It is not as big as those wealthy merchants, and it cannot do the big trade that uses prospecting. As long as you have a note to tell Mr. Tie, you can let my Ouyang family board the ship." Come with us, rely on our Ming Dynasty fleet, and do some small business..." Ouyang Lun said.

This guy is a good calculator. The merchants have the prospectus, but they still need to spend a lot of money to buy and build ships to form a fleet. Vessel volume, carrying geometry, and customization. Must comply with the terms and conditions. It would be better for him to just ask for a note and want to use the imperial court's ship to carry goods privately for him... The profit of going to Fengmingzhou is so huge that he wants to use the imperial court's treasure ship in such a big business. A share of the pie?

If this example is true, how can it be done?

"The fleet heading to Fengmingzhou is owned by the imperial court. I will let you board the ship with just a note? How about the imperial decree?" Zhu Su said with a serious look on his face. "Although Tie Xuan is my disciple, now that he has become an official, he should be an official serving the imperial court."

"Since we are working for the imperial court, do we still have to worry about the so-called teachers and students? Not to mention that I can't write this note. Even if I wrote this note and Tie Xuan recognized it, then he and I were in vain. It deserves to be considered a crime."

"The so-called law is intolerable. As a noble relative of the Tian family, you should be even more so... You must know that many laws and regulations in the Ming Dynasty are to maintain the rule of the imperial court. If the law is not peaceful and the country is not peaceful, how can you and I survive?"

"Sister-in-law, as nobles of the Heavenly Family, you and I should be more careful in our words and deeds and set an example for everyone... This status is not only an honor, but also a responsibility, which should not be ignored!" Zhu Su said earnestly.

Let's establish this tone first. Even if Ouyang Lun no longer wants to lose face, now he knows that he will definitely not agree, so he should retreat. Zhu Su thought in his heart.

Unexpectedly, when Ouyang Lun heard this, he didn't feel too ashamed. Zhu Su even saw a hint of cunning flash in his eyes. "Yes, yes, my brother taught me a lesson."

"Lunshi shouldn't have such unreasonable thoughts... It's just that the mansion is really desperate..."

"Since we can't do business in Fengmingzhou... I wonder, brother, if you can introduce me to some connections."

"Would you like me to take a business trip to the north?" Ouyang Lun said.
