My father Zhu Gaoxu

Chapter 584
"Why?"

When Zhu Zhanji heard Zhu Zhanhe reminding him to be ready to come back at any time, he couldn't help but asked in a daze.

"After my uncle recovered from his illness last time, did he still linger in the harem?"

Zhu Zhanhe did not answer directly, but asked again.

Zhu Zhanji blushed, then nodded and said, "Yes, I have tried to persuade him many times, but it was of no use."

"That's it. Every time I see my uncle during this period, I find that he looks very bad. In addition, his previous physical condition was not very good, so I worry that he will get sick again. As the prince, you don't Suitable for those who are too far away from Beijing.”

Although Zhu Zhanhe didn't say it clearly, it was no different from saying it clearly. Anyone with a normal mind would understand what he meant.

When Zhu Zhanji heard this, he frowned and pondered for a while, and finally raised his head and said, "I understand, thank you second brother for reminding me!"

After Zhu Zhanji finished speaking, he cupped his hands, then turned and left.

Looking at Zhu Zhanji's leaving figure, Zhu Zhanhe also sighed. When Zhu Zhanji comes back, it will probably be the day when he inherits the throne, and they will definitely be on opposite sides again.

Zhu Zhanji left in a hurry because Zhu Gaochi had been urging him to go to Nanjing early. He wanted to move back to Nanjing before winter today, and he seemed unwilling to stay in Beijing for more than a day.

In addition, the news that Zhu Gaochi was moving back to Nanjing also spread, which once again set off an investment boom. Countless people went to Nanjing to buy land and houses, just like when the capital was moved to Beijing.

Of course, the first to take action must be the most well-informed officials and nobles. When the capital was moved to Beijing, they were a little slow, but they almost lost all their belongings, so this time everyone took the lead bravely, for fear of falling behind. Others a little bit.

Last time, Zhu Zhanhe took advantage of the opportunity of moving the capital to Beijing and made a lot of money. Especially when he moved some nobles back and forth several times, they almost went bankrupt.

But this time Zhu Zhanhe did not take any action. Instead, he took the opportunity to sell all the remaining real estate and fields in Nanjing at high prices. Even the fields in Beijing were disposed of a lot, because Zhu Zhan He knew that his time to stay in Ming Dynasty was running out, so he started to do some finishing touches now.

That afternoon, Zhu Yong suddenly found Zhu Zhanhe. When he met, he immediately asked: "Zhanhe, moving the capital is such a big thing, don't we really take the opportunity to make a fortune?"

"Don't think about making money. Those people who go to Nanjing to buy property and houses will cry sometimes in the future!"

Zhu Zhanhe replied helplessly.

"Are you so sure? Now the land prices in Nanjing are rising three times a day. Even if you have money, you can't buy it."

Zhu Yong asked unwillingly.

When the capital was moved to Beijing last time, Zhu Zhanhe made a lot of money with him, so he wanted to seize this opportunity when he moved back to Nanjing this time.

"I remember when the capital was moved to Beijing, wasn't your mother reluctant to sell her property and house in Nanjing? With so much property here, aren't you satisfied?"

Zhu Zhanhe asked rhetorically.

"How can anyone think that they have too much money? What's more, I have slowly dealt with a lot of the land and houses in Nanjing over the years, and now there are not many left."

Zhu Yong was a little upset at the end. If he had known that Zhu Gaochi would move back to Nanjing, those real estate shops should not have been sold at a low price. If he wanted to buy them back now, he would probably have to pay several times the price. "Once you sell it, don't think about buying it again. Just listen to me and just stay here in Beijing and don't get involved in Nanjing's affairs!"

Zhu Zhanhe reminded again.

Even though the land prices in Nanjing are soaring now, it won't be long before the land prices there, which have finally risen, will probably fall at a faster speed. By then, we don't know how many people will go bankrupt because of this?After all, leveraging real estate and land speculation is not a specialty of later generations. In this era, many people are still willing to take risks.

"Okay, then I'll listen to you. Fortunately, my mother is old and now all the family affairs are left to my wife. Otherwise, I really wouldn't be able to make the decision."

Zhu Yong finally chose to trust Zhu Zhanhe. After all, Zhu Zhanhe had never cheated him when it came to making money.

"By the way, if Third Uncle wants to send troops to Japan, he must go through your Fifth Army Commander's Mansion, right?"

Zhu Zhanhe suddenly thought of Zhu Gaosui's sending troops to Japan, so he asked Zhu Yong.

Generals such as Zhu Yong and Zhang Fu could lead troops outside during the war, but after the war, they could only serve in the Fifth Army Governor's Mansion after returning to Beijing.

However, the Fifth Army Governor's Office now holds real power. The training and mobilization of the army, including the promotion of generals, and farming and other matters, are almost all under the control of the Fifth Army Governor's Office. As for the Ministry of War, it is now more like an auxiliary to the Fifth Army Governor's Office. The organization is mainly responsible for logistics and food dispatching.

Of course, this was only the situation in the early Ming Dynasty. In the original history, the powers of the Governor's Office of the Five Armies had been shrinking. Especially after the Battle of Tumubao, the powers of the Governor's Office of the Five Armies were usurped by the Ministry of War, and the Ministry of War took over. The military governor's office is the supplement.

"You asked the right person. I am in charge of sending troops to Japan. However, King Zhao asked him to personally command the army, but His Majesty agreed. As a result, there are now complaints in the Governor's Mansion, and it is even difficult to mobilize troops. "

Zhu Yong became angry when he mentioned this matter, and at the end of the sentence he slapped the table hard.

"Why can't we deploy troops?"

Zhu Zhanhe was stunned. He didn't know much about the Fifth Army Governor's Mansion. Apart from Zhu Yong, he had basically no contact with it, so he didn't understand the meaning of Zhu Yong's words.

"Think about it, King Zhao has never led an army to fight, who would be willing to fight with him? If this happens because of King Zhao's unfavorable command, his men will die in vain. As the saying goes, an incompetent general will be tired. This is the reason why thousands of troops will die, so no one is willing to lead troops to Japan now."

Zhu Yong explained.

After Zhu Zhanhe heard this, he suddenly realized that if he were a general in the army, he would probably not be willing to send troops with a boss who had no record or even military experience. After all, people are life-threatening on the battlefield. Who would be willing to give his life to a boss? Unreliable person?

"This is really a trouble. What if the generals are not willing to go? Is there no way to fight the war?"

Zhu Zhanhe asked curiously again.

"Of course not. The army is not a place to see whether you are willing or not. Now the British Duke and I are also discussing and are planning to dispatch a few mature and prudent generals to follow King Zhao to send troops. When the military order is issued, they will have to go even if they don't. At most, we can give them more power so that King Zhao won’t be able to give random orders.”

Zhu Yong explained again that military orders are like mountains. This sentence is not a joke. Personal will is not important in the army.
