Alliance of the Heavens and Ming Dynasty

Chapter 219 Zhu Houzhao's Calculation
"Just say what you want?"

After getting along for such a long time, who doesn't know who, as soon as Zhu Houzhao opened his mouth, Lao Zhu knew what he was planning, didn't he just want to take advantage of the opportunity!

"happy!"

Zhu Houzhao smiled and said: "I can send someone to help you find the trace of the demon, but you need to provide me with an iron ore resource respectively."

This requirement is not too much. Salt, iron, tea and horses, iron ranks second, and has always been one of the most important resources of the court. Forging armor and weapons, casting artillery shells, iron is indispensable for everything.

An iron ore resource, no matter how big or small, is tantamount to cutting flesh in the hearts of everyone.

They would rather pay money, a large sum of silver, than give up an iron mine.

"Emperor Zhengde also understands the importance of iron ore. Can you replace it with other things?"

Zhu Qiyu said softly, his words also represented everyone's thoughts.

The demon has to be eliminated, but Iron Mine really doesn't want to give it away.

Zhu Houzhao’s Zhengde dynasty developed all-round development in politics, military, people’s livelihood, economy, education, etc., and its strength was among the top three in the sixteen dynasties of the Ming Dynasty. If a large amount of resources were given to Zhu Houzhao, God knows how strong the Zhengde dynasty would be degree.

That's what they don't want to see.

Do not suffer from widowhood but suffer from inequity!

The strength of Lao Zhu and Zhu Di surpassed them, and they could still accept it. The Hongwu Emperor who was a commoner in Huaiyou, and the Yongle Emperor who lived his life, naturally made them look up to them.

But Zhu Houzhao, an emperor who was "easy to dissolve in water" and died inexplicably, was better than them?
Except for Zhu Houzhao's cheap old man Zhu Youtang, everyone was thinking of suppressing Zhu Houzhao intentionally or unintentionally. Zhu Houzhao ran too fast, which was not a good thing for them.

After all, the old Zhu's family still has a strong sense of competition for superiority.

In case Zhu Houzhao's strength is completely superior to them, there is no guarantee that Zhu Houzhao will not have other thoughts.

The Sixteen Dynasties of the Ming Dynasty, the truth is a little too much!

It's not that Zhu Houzhao doesn't know what everyone is thinking, on the contrary, he knows it very well. Everyone is afraid that his power will expand too fast, so why hasn't he been wary of everyone? They all work in the dangerous profession of emperor, except Zhu Qizhen and Zhu Changluo. Few are simple characters.

Therefore, since everyone is unwilling to give him iron ore, then simply don't want it. It's not that there are things more valuable than iron ore, it just depends on how to get them.

"Everyone is a family, and it would be too rusty to talk about interests."

"I was just joking just now, please don't take it seriously."

Zhu Houzhao showed a smile, and said very proudly: "When the demon problem in my Zhengde dynasty is resolved, I will immediately send people to your territory to help you find the trace of the demon and kill it."

Don't want anything, help them find the trace of the demon for free?

Everyone suddenly became vigilant in their hearts. They are not fools. Often the cheapest is the most expensive. Zhu Houzhao is not a good person who is enthusiastic enough to do good deeds without receiving any benefits.

Don't you see that in the Zhengde Dynasty, how many people scolded Zhu Houzhao behind his back for eating people and not spitting out bones. Such a person would have a warm heart and a good person?

They would rather believe that the sow will climb the tree than that Zhu Houzhao will kindly help.

"I can't give you iron ore, but other things can still be discussed. Think about it, if you want anything, we can satisfy you and try our best to satisfy you."

Others don't believe that Zhu Houzhao will have nothing to ask for. Old Zhu, who has the most contact with Zhu Houzhao, and who intends to learn from Zhu Houzhao's reforms, is even less convinced.

What he meant was to block Zhu Houzhao's appetite with some unimportant things first, lest Zhu Houzhao ask for more in the future.

"Ha, everyone despises me. I don't want anything, I don't want anything. We are all from the old Zhu family, so helping each other is not a matter of course!"

"It's really inappropriate to talk about interests and ask for things!"

With a hypocritical smile on Zhu Houzhao's face, he changed the topic: "If you must compensate me, you might as well let go of the border guards and let me enter the country as a scholar."

"I am a literati who is very popular in traveling and studying. If I can succeed in studying in your territory, that is also a good thing."

See you at the picture!
Everyone sneered in their hearts, so they just said, with Zhu Houzhao's temperament, how could he ask for nothing, no, a few words exposed his fox's tail.

But they couldn't figure it out, what good would it do Zhu Houzhao if the literati from the Zhengde Dynasty went to their territory to study and practice?
I'm not afraid that those literati will not want to go back when they come to their territory. After all, they still know how mean the Zhengde dynasty is to scholars.

Can't figure it out, really can't figure it out.

After thinking about it, they didn't understand how Zhu Houzhao's shrewdness would do such a business that made it clear that meat buns beat dogs, and there was no return, but everyone seemed to find no reason to refuse.

Without paying any price, Zhu Houzhao can send someone to help them find the trace of the demon, and there is also a chance to dig Zhu Houzhao's corner.

"Okay, let's do as you said, let's let go of the border guards, and let the literati from your court travel to study and practice. As long as they don't violate the laws of the Ming Dynasty, we can guarantee that they will be safe and sound."

Everyone made eye contact and agreed that it was feasible, so Lao Zhu stepped forward to accept it.

There is even a little bit of excitement in his heart. Ever since he entered the Qiankunzhu space and the sixteenth generation of the Ming Dynasty gathered together, Zhu Houzhao has never suffered a disadvantage. You can also be happy.

"There are times when you cry!"

Seeing the flickering eyes of the crowd, looking forward to his deflated appearance, Zhu Houzhao secretly sneered, who is deflated, not sure?

Learn about culture invasion!
Everyone thinks that they can make money without losing money, but Zhu Houzhao will never lose money. It is still unknown who will poach whose corner.

They have their way of attracting talents, Zhu Houzhao also has the capital to win people's hearts, it depends on whose method is better!

However, Zhu Houzhao has confidence in his own Zhengde Dynasty, and he can also give what the other fifteen dynasties can give; what he has in the Zhengde Dynasty, the other fifteen dynasties may not have it!
In this transaction, Zhu Houzhao seems to have suffered some losses, but he is actually invincible. The strong national power accumulated by the reform and reform is one of the capitals that he is proud of.

"Cool!"

After the sneer, Zhu Houzhao couldn't help feeling extremely happy. The feeling of "bullying others" is really good.

In his last life, he hated the bald eagle very much, and felt that the bald eagle had no sense of morality and no shame, but now he seems to have experienced the happiness of the bald eagle. After all, one of the best skills of the bald eagle is "bullying others", using his own interests maximize.

In the end, after all, he lived in the way he hated the most.

And this is reality. Reality is not an ideal, and it cannot be summed up with enthusiasm. Reality only talks about benefits.

"Let's stop here for today!"

After Lao Zhu spoke, everyone dispersed immediately.

Although Zhu Houzhao promised to send someone to help them find the trace of the "monster", they will not relax their vigilance because of this, and will definitely increase their search efforts after returning.

It is better to ask for others than to ask for yourself!
