Monk Daoyan shook his head and said, "There's no need to ask about the price. It's definitely not that high."

"People from other places use cheap cloth as a voucher to buy it, but the people in Yingtian Prefecture can get it for free. How big is Yingtian Prefecture? The capital of the Ming Dynasty is located here, with so many households. The cost of this so-called 'anthracite' is slightly higher. This is impossible."

"With the vision and perspective of the person behind the little emperor, he must be looking at the long-term, most beneficial thing—the people's hearts! The low cost of anthracite means they can sell it at a low price, so they will definitely sell it at a low price!"

"Besides, they limit the purchase of anthracite to those who have purchased cheap cloth. How much money do these people have to spend on coal? Isn't it clear to the court?"

This is the real reason why he lost his composure!

The people in Yingtian Prefecture can make the best use of things and use the cheapest things to harvest the most precious things!

Go on like this.

Forget about inciting the people to join you in rebellion. If you raise the flag and say you want to rebel, don't wait for the court to take action. The people will suppress you first!

"Uh...that's right..." Qiu Fu frowned and scratched his head.

Zhu Di and Xu Miaoyun next to them looked at each other and exchanged glances, their eyes dimming a lot.

The people of the north seemed to be drifting further and further away from them, and the unrest in Yingtian Prefecture would surely subside after this incident. Rebellion? Could they really do that?

The private room fell into a long silence again.

After a long while, Xu Miaoyun's gentle voice finally rang out: "Master Daoyan, what do you think...if we stop now and just live peacefully as the King of Sai, wouldn't that be more appropriate?"

Xu Miaoyun's words broke the silence.

But it also makes the atmosphere here seem a bit weird.

Although Zhu Di did not say anything, he pursed his lips tightly and bit his teeth hard. The masseter muscles on both sides of his heroic cheeks bulged, his sharp eyes were filled with unwillingness, and his face was as gloomy as water - just as Zhu Yuanzhang said, ambition is a very strange thing. When it grows to a certain extent, it will make people lose their minds, lose their rationality, and even drive them crazy.

He has come to this point, how could he be willing to give up so easily?

Qiu Fu, standing by, perhaps couldn't think so far ahead. He was even more stubborn. He clasped his fists and said to Zhu Di with a stern look in his eyes, "No matter what you say, Your Highness, I will follow you!"

Zhu Di was silent for a moment, subconsciously glancing at the monk Daoyan beside him. He had to admit, while there were personal reasons for this, at least a large part of his ambition today was nurtured by this black-robed monk...

"Master Daoyan?"

"This king thought..."

"So far, the Emperor's card should still be effective. After all, it's only been a few months since he officially passed away."

"The deterrent power and appeal of the words 'Hongwu Emperor' will always remain."

"Besides that... it's impossible for those Huaixi nobles in Yingtian Prefecture to really "reform" all of a sudden, right? If we could find out how that person convinced the Huaixi nobles to cooperate with him, perhaps we could have an opportunity to make a fuss about it."

This time, Zhu Di did not wait for Monk Daoyan to explain or analyze anything to him, he had already found a support point in his mind.

Monk Daoyan raised his hand to wipe the fine beads of sweat from his head, and then said with a trembling of his lower eyelid: "What I think is the same as His Highness the Prince of Yan."

He had previously considered and analyzed these support points with Zhu Di.

However, they knew nothing about the situation in Tianfu, as if they were hitting a wall no matter what method they used, and the Huaixi nobles always looked as steady as old dogs, so the issue of the Huaixi nobles was later shelved by them and included in the category of "waiting for development".
