Chapter 93: The Highest Price Wins

On the surface, Zhu Gaoxu is in charge of the entire capital's defense. Even the Beijing camp belongs to Zhu Gaoxu's own soldiers. But in fact, everyone knows that Zhu Gaoxu has a laissez-faire attitude toward the affairs of the Beijing camp.

Mind more things.

Like Chen Xian, Zhu Gaoxu would basically not take the initiative to ask questions, let alone listen to anyone who came to make trouble. Most of the time, he would just find someone to send him back, or he would never see him, the King of Han, at all.

As for himself, he has an additional "private battalion" that goes out to the city again and again.

Armor, horses, muskets, artillery!

It can be said that they have everything, and if there are good things, they should be used by their own people first.

In name, it was just under the guise of what was needed by the Beijing camp. Not only the Ministry of War knew about this matter, but even Zhu Di knew about it, but his son just turned a blind eye and passed it by.

Now, Zhu Gaoxu came to Baoyuan Bureau to look for Wang Siqi, that is, to find medical alcohol. After all, after a battle, most of the soldiers who died after being injured were more than those who died directly on the battlefield.

Because there is no so-called ratification system in Ming Dynasty.

If the soldier dies after being injured, then the family members of the soldier are unlucky...the pensions will be much less than those for soldiers who died directly on the battlefield.

All kinds of preferential care and preferential treatment are not as good as others.

But this is also an ancestral system. Not even Zhu Gaoxu can change it. He supplements it by himself on weekdays, but more importantly, he wants to save the lives of these soldiers from the bottom of his heart.

"Tell me the truth! Where did all this alcohol go? Is it possible that you dare to play tricks on me?"

"Of course I don't dare!"

The conversation between the two people gradually became more and more explosive.

Zhu Gaochi, who was originally deceived by Zhu Gaoxu, could not remain a quiet bystander, so he could only laugh and lighten the atmosphere.

"Okay, okay! What has happened!"

Then he turned his head and looked at Zhu Gaoxu aside and said: "Why don't you look like you are asking for help... This alcohol is not a radish in the ground. You think you can have as much as you want!"

Then he continued: "Wang Siqi, I am afraid that the imperial court will once again conquer Can Yuan in the north at some time. I am afraid that there will be another round of bloodshed. If we can have the blessing of your medical alcohol, I am afraid that many soldiers on the front line will die less.

...That’s why I came to see you today.”

After all, the one in front of me is the prince and the other is the King of Han.

The status is here.

Wang Siqi didn't want Zhu Gaochi to be unable to get off the stage as well, so he had to soften his expression a little. Of course, softening didn't mean that he was ready to relent.

Instead, he said firmly: "Your Highness, it's not that I don't want to give it, but I really don't have the medical alcohol on hand at this time, because all the alcohol has been sent to Beijing Camp!"

"What! You're talking nonsense...where is it and when was it sent?"

When Zhu Gaoxu heard this, he immediately became furious... After all, he was the one in charge of the Beijing camp. If the medical alcohol had been sent to the Beijing camp earlier.

How could I not know it myself?

If he already had something, why would he come to Baoyuan Bureau to ask Wang Siqi for something today?

As soon as these words came out, even Zhu Gaochi couldn't help but frown and said displeasedly: "If there are still more, give some to His Highness the King of Han. After all, the soldiers led by the King of Han are also the first to bear the brunt on the battlefield..."

Wang Siqi turned to smile bitterly.

"Of course I know the seriousness of such a big thing... and I certainly won't joke around. And the alcohol I sent was not a long time ago, but just now!"

"Just now?"

Now it was Zhu Gaochi's turn to turn his head and look at Zhu Gaoxu.

"I said...Second brother, this thing is already in your hands, why do you go to the East Palace to find me and insist on dragging me over to continue asking for it?"

"He's talking nonsense! I didn't see a drop of that alcohol!"

It is hard to come to peace, Zhu Gaoxu has the most credit, and he is also the most arrogant in his daily life... Hearing Wang Siqi's nonsense, he was even more angry and wanted to rush forward and grab Wang Siqi's collar to ask clearly.

, fortunately, he was stopped by Zhu Gaochi, who was quick-handed.

Then he said to Wang Siqi with a smile: "Tell me... why was this thing sent to Jingying, and who was it given to?"

"Because the soldiers in the capital needed it, Rong Changbo personally came to buy it!"

As soon as he said this, Zhu Gaoxu suddenly felt bad... If this thing fell into the hands of ordinary people, he would be able to get it back into his own hands no matter what he said.

But if it falls into Chen Xian's hands.

It is still in the Beijing camp in name, and still in its own hands.

But in fact, I'm afraid it has nothing to do with him at all... Chen Xian has no other abilities, but he is also a veteran who made his fortune with Zhu Di and is definitely not something he can handle easily.

"You kid, you clearly don't want to give me anything...why didn't you give it to me sooner or later? Why did you send all the alcohol to Jingying today?"

"One word, clever!"

Zhu Gaoxu, who felt that he was looked down upon by Wang Siqi, had a gloomy look on his face, and snorted coldly: "Okay! If everything is really not left behind, it will be fine when it arrives at Beijing Camp. If I find out that it is not the case when I go back!"

"Hmph!"

Faced with Zhu Gaoxu's threat, Wang Siqi remained unmoved.

"Congratulations to His Highness the King of Han!"

"no!"

The furious Zhu Gaoxu immediately waved his sleeves and turned around to leave, not caring that Zhu Gaochi was still standing there.

I saw someone leaving.

Zhu Gaochi said to Wang Siqi with a bitter look on his face: "Tell me...it's not good for you to provoke someone who is so good. Why are you provoking him?"

"It's not that I must provoke His Highness the King of Han. Of course... I don't have the courage either!"

"But the truth is that this thing is probably almost shipped to the place now. If you ask me to look for alcohol at this time, I have no place to look for it!"

Medical alcohol has a fixed proportion, so whether it is distilled or blended, the proportion must be as accurate as possible.

Wang Siqi also put in a lot of effort.

If you give it to Chen Xian, you can at least see the money that comes back. If you give it to Zhu Gaoxu, you may not be able to make His Highness the King of Han, who ignores the heights of heaven and earth, take a high look at you.

On the contrary, it is easy to get the impression that someone is easy to bully.

more importantly!

This guy seems to have no intention of giving money...

"Alas! When the time comes for you to appear in front of the Emperor...you have to restrain yourself. This alcohol has such wonderful effects, why can't you produce more..."

Wang Siqi turned to look at Zhu Gaochi and said, "Your Highness, how much does a jar of alcohol cost?"

Zhu Gaochi was puzzled and said, "I don't know! Didn't we set a price before?"

"I said... one hundred taels of silver per jar, you won't be happy..."
