Chapter 38 Extracting Sanhe Lu Attributes! (2 in 1 4K)
The dark shadow that should have been there on Yanchi Tower is gone.
In the midst of the heavy rain, the eunuch ran over, trying not to let his voice be drowned by the strong wind, and loudly reported to King Zhao's subordinate officers, "Pull."
When Zhu Di saw the lightning falling and the Yanchi Tower standing intact at the Meridian Gate, he was amazed in his heart. It was indeed worthy of being written into the great literature for future generations to imitate.
He turned his head and looked at Zhu Zhanyong.
Zhu Zhanyong took the initiative and said: "When I was in Beiping Mansion, Sun Chen went out to play in the palace. It rained heavily one time. I saw thunder hitting the iron tools of people's houses... so I secretly wrote it down."
Zhu Di said with a complex expression: "Is that so? I have always made clear rewards and punishments. Whatever reward you want, as long as it is not too excessive, I will grant it to you."
Zhu Zhanyong asked for a side hall.
When Zhu Di was still a prince, he also lived in the left gate of Chang'an. Knowing that the place was dilapidated, he asked the Chief of Ceremonies to find a side hall. After doing this, he stared at Zhu Gaosui deeply with his calm eyes.
Although he didn't get angry, the silent silence itself was quite shocking.
Following Zhu Di's edict, the Supervisor of Ceremonies quickly went to work and ordered the eunuchs of the Divine Palace Supervisor to repair, clean, add household items, and carry red radish charcoal, which is the kind of charcoal that can cause gas poisoning for heating in winter and cause the princes and princesses to die prematurely.
This side hall is located on the northeast side of the palace.
The old eunuch who was the Supervisor of Ceremonies kept his attitude very low and ordered people to clean it up. Before leaving, he specifically said goodbye to Zhu Zhanyong.
When Zhu Zhanyong stepped into the gate of the side hall, he first saw the desk, then the screen, the bed, the Han couch, the tent, etc., as well as the writing desk.
Going around the screen, I saw a large bathtub and a spittoon with a low seat and a wide mouth in the corner. All the conveniences for eating and drinking were in the side hall.
After being silently warned by Zhu Di, King Zhao should not make any more provocations in the next few days.
Zhu Zhanyong had free time to ponder the luck of Guo Zuo.
Lu was good at reasoning and knew that he had something Zhu Zhanyong wanted in his body, so he let the latter get it for himself. Zhu Zhanyong was not polite and extracted Lu's attributes and abilities.
[The Confession of a Hundred Schools of Thought: After using it, the way of a saint will be secretly opened, and strict words will be established in the world. The admonishment will be spread to all people, and the contention of a hundred schools of thought will be initiated. The user cannot specify who this person is]
Su Qin studied under Gui Gu, practiced the way of vertical and horizontal, and was proficient in the arts of hundreds of schools. Zhu Zhanyong should have thought that extracting attributes should be related to this.
Although Yongle was the pinnacle of the Ming Dynasty, it did not have the grand scene of a hundred schools of thought contending.
[Rejuvenation of all things: Transform the wind, rain, frost and snow in a county, adjust the weather, bring about or eliminate catastrophes, and consume the country's luck points]
This catastrophe should refer to the Little Ice Age that enveloped the Ming Dynasty for more than fifty years.
In the early Ming Dynasty, the grain production in the north decreased year by year, but the people did not realize anything. Until the middle Ming Dynasty, Suhu, the world's granary, experienced a shortage of grain harvests in the fertile soil year after year.
People could not afford to pay taxes, and conflicts over land annexation continued to intensify.
The court finally realized that the weather had changed.
Zhu Zhanyong guessed that this so-called catastrophe would require the consumption of a huge amount of national fortune points.
Lao Zhu and others did not know about attribute abilities.
Lu hurriedly logged off.
In 335 BC during the Warring States Period, Zhu Zhanyong appeared in the gloomy sky of Jicheng. He could see the people coming and going, as well as Su Qin and Duke Wen of Yan in the palace, as if he was with time.
At this moment, Su Qin sat on the ground with a serious look on his face.
Twenty years ago, the Qi State invaded and plundered the territory of the Yan State, trying to seize Yishui and Hutuo in the south, but was defeated by the Yan State in Yishui, so they forged a deep hatred.
Duke Wen of Yan was the master of ZTE.
He took over the Yan State from the hands of Duke Heng, who was surrounded by powerful enemies. He resisted the Shanrong barbarians in the north, and defeated the Qi State in the south that attempted to annex the Yan State. He used the fertile land to make the people live and work in peace and contentment, appointed talents and officials, and the heroes were happy. Serve him.
However, the increasingly powerful Yan State was feared by Qi State, and its alliance with Zhao State made Qi State, which was adjacent to the two countries, feel the crisis.
When Duke Wen of Yan heard that Qi had sent a large army to attack Yan, he was angry at Qi's greed and ordered Su Qin to come to discuss the matter.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, you must not send troops. The Yan State is tired of dealing with the Zhao State and the mountain soldiers in the north. The water supply is cut off and the food in the camp is exhausted. Even though there are 600 chariots and hundreds of thousands of soldiers, how can we supply them with food and grass? The State of Qi attacked the State of Yan precisely because of this. When the beasts have enough food, they will forget to be vigilant. Please don’t forget that the State of Yan is surrounded by enemies on all sides!”
Su Qin continued: "Your Majesty, the State of Qi sent Tian Ji as commander. I heard that there are people in Qi State who are good at using military skills. In the past, Handan, the capital of the State of Zhao, was surrounded by the State of Wei. The generals of the State of Qi surrounded Wei to rescue Zhao, forcing Wei's army to return for reinforcements. , was defeated at Guiling, does the king have any generals who can fight against him?"
Even though Duke Wen of Yan was angry, he knew that Su Qin was telling the truth.
"I will ask Zhao for help."
"The State of Zhao formed an alliance with the State of Yan because of their wealth. Such an alliance is not stable. In view of the lesson of South Korea asking for help from the State of Qi, the king should plan carefully!" Su Qin did not agree with his idea.
The idea of Duke Wen of Yan was rejected again.
"I came to join the State of Yan because I want my talents to be used by the State of Yan. Please let me go to see Tian Ji with the etiquette of an envoy from the State of Yan!" Su Qin bowed down.
The army of Qi State was pressing on the border, and the counties and counties of Yan State were all waiting for the order of the lord. This matter could not be delayed. Su Qin prepared boats and chariots to come to the south of Yishui. At this moment, Yishui was already covered with darkness and the army of Qi State.
In the big tent, Su Qin paid homage to Tian Ji with the etiquette of an envoy:
"General Tian Ji! The Qi State is indeed very powerful, with tens of thousands of chariots and more powerful troops than the Yan State. General Tian Ji is a famous general, but the Qi State still needs troops to defend, but the Yan State is defending with all its strength. If you lose the battle, you will only I’m afraid that King Wei will reuse Zou Ji!”
As soon as he finished speaking, the soldiers ran in and reported that it was snowing.
Tian Ji's heart trembled and he quickly walked out of the account.
While I was talking, a finger-thick layer of snow had already piled up on the ground. As far as I could see, there were snowflakes as big as cotton balls, and the cool breeze was biting.
Su Qin also walked out of the tent, feeling that the heavy snowfall was a coincidence.
He turned around, bowed to Tian Ji, and prepared to leave:
"General Tian Ji, this is what I have to say."
Tian Ji looked at the gloomy sky. It should not snow so heavily in such weather. It was strange. Could it be that attacking the Yan Kingdom was against the destiny of heaven?
I thought the snow would stop.
But the heavy snow gradually covered the wheels, completely extinguishing any remaining luck.
The key to victory or defeat lies in food and grass. The snow cannot cover the wheels, so the chariots cannot move. War horses will slip on the ice and snow. Tian Ji is not a general who loves success. The chariots cannot charge in such deep snow. If they are ambushed by Yan in the snow, , I am afraid that Yi Shui will be defeated.
Tian Ji didn't want to take this risk.
[Su Qin retreated from Tianji, hundreds of thousands of people in the Yan Kingdom were saved, and you gained the luck points of the country]
Guozuo luck point 1294
Zhu Zhanyong already understood.
He can influence the situation of the Warring States Period through Su Qin. Based on Su Qin's completion, he can obtain Guo Zuo's luck points, and then use Guo Zuo's luck points.
Used to extract attribute capabilities.
This snow was caused by him, which consumed part of Guo Zuo's luck points. After Qi State retreated, Yan State was able to continue to develop, and the situation of the Warring States Period had changed again.
……………………
Ming Dynasty, Yongle.
In the early morning, Zhu Zhanyong was dressed by his personal eunuch. He had the same breakfast for several days, consisting of meat buns, porridge and pickles, and wiped his mouth after eating.
After leaving the palace, we went directly to Qiji Cloth Shop.
Zhu Zhanyong glanced at the handsome middle-aged eunuch Qi Zhong. Although he trusted him, he didn't know whether he could handle it well: "I came here this time to ask how the purchase of raw silk went?"
He wanted to start a business last time.
Zheng He was about to return, and he would bring a large number of envoys and merchants with him. They would buy silk in large quantities. Although Zhu Zhanyong could extract attributes, none of them could make money. He was still short of money.
Zheng He's return to Beijing is a perfect opportunity.
Qi Zhong was like an old butler who had served the young master for a long time, his expression became friendly.
The smile lines at the corners of his eyes rose, and he smiled and said: "It's done, Your Highness, I have sent people to buy these big horse heads in Jingzhou, Zhangshu, Wuhu, Nanhao, Huzhou and Suzhou."
Suzhou is one of the four gathering places in the world, where silk, satin, rice and noodles from the north and south gather. He even specially sent people to guard it.
Qi Zhong didn't know that Zhu Zhanyong was dissatisfied.
Zhu Zhanyong did not praise him, but shook his head: "I thought you were being humble, but who would have thought that you really don't know how to do business."
"Why did His Highness say that?" Qi Zhong secretly wondered where he had made an oversight, but he couldn't figure it out.
"Buying local raw silk in large quantities, businessmen will definitely raise the price when they see the profit. How will they purchase it next time?" Zhu Zhanyong said.
Qi Zhong had a look of astonishment on his face: "If you don't buy from them, how can you make silk?"
"Give money to mulberry farmers to support them in planting mulberry and raising silkworms, and then use a piece of paper to stipulate that the raw silk that has not been spun this year, next year, or even the year after that will be produced. In this way, the price of purchasing raw silk will not change for three years.
"
Zhu Zhanyong wanted to contract permanently. When the price of silk rose, raw silk would also rise. What he wanted was a stable price.
Qi Zhong was like a enlightenment. He had been doing business for more than ten years, buying cloth every month and selling it. He could be said to be a businessman, but he never thought of buying off low-level mulberry farmers.
"The price offered by the gentry for purchasing raw silk from farmers is actually very low. If you increase the price by 10%, you must be conscientious and fair. You must not let the farmers feel cold and cause trouble in the Yamen."
Zhu Zhanyong saw that he was not very good at doing things, so he gave some more instructions.
The purchase prices paid by merchants are actually low, and offering a fair price is purely an act of conscience.
He wanted farmers to raise silkworms with peace of mind.
Lao Qi was a little embarrassed: "Your Highness, raw silk needs to be stored in a dark and dark place...but I don't have such a big warehouse here."
Zhu Zhanyong looked expectantly: "How many horses should I buy?"
"This...this slave has not been liquidated. There are probably more than 4,000 of them. They are stored in the warehouse. I am worried about how to deal with them."
Zhang Xi once said that there were several large warehouses in the British government.
Zhu Zhanyong made a note of this matter in his mind: "Sell half of the raw silk in your hand, and take the cash with you to let the farmers raise silkworms. You don't need to worry about this matter. Remember, do it quietly, and don't let those speculators
The profiteers have learned the lesson."
After coming out of the cloth workshop, Zhu Zhanyong came to the Zhongyuan of the British Government Palace. He saw Zhang Shi surrounded by several tough men and beating him up. Although this guy looked fat, three or two big men could not do anything to him.
.
Zhu Zhanyong thought he had gained weight: "What are you doing?"
"Brother made his own meritorious service. Logically speaking, our family still has some meritorious service with His Majesty. The eldest brother is afraid that His Majesty will not admit it if it is kept for a long time, so he asked me to find a Yulin Guard Hundred Household as soon as possible... But the imperial court has issued an order for the Duke to wait for his son. Only by passing the examination can you be favored by your parents."
Zhang Min angrily condemned his elder brother.
Zhu Zhanyong did not come to see Zhang Shi. He was deep in thought when he saw a little maid hurried over. She bowed respectfully, as if she had learned court etiquette, and said softly: "Your Highness Zhanyong, my young lady wants to see you."
What a different woman.
Most ladies do not take the initiative to meet men before they leave the court, but Li Zhilu doesn't seem to care about this.
Zhu Zhanyong just wanted to see her: "Let her come over."
The storage of raw silk has strict requirements on the warehouse, and the warehouse of the Duke's Palace is naturally of high quality. It seems that Li Zhilu has the final say on all matters in the palace.
She is still as beautiful as ever.
Li Zhilu scolded the maid behind him and bowed solemnly: "I have seen His Highness. My daughter heard that His Highness's cloth shop is purchasing raw silk?"
"This is a hugely profitable deal."
Zhu Zhanyong said calmly.
Because he will also talk about this later and borrow the warehouse of the Duke's Mansion.
Li Zhilu was surprised because Zhu Zhanyong admitted that the cloth shop was his. It should be noted that the imperial court strictly prohibited officials above the fourth rank from doing business. Although the princes and grandsons had no real power, they were all of the first rank.
Li Zhilu weighed the two, then raised her beautiful apricot eyes: "Why do you, Your Highness, come to the Duke's Mansion?"
"The palace employs a group of mulberry farmers to weave raw silk, but there is no warehouse in the mulberry farmer's home to store it. We want to use the warehouse in the Duke's palace. We need to wait for Zheng He to return to Beijing, which may not be short."
Seeing that she dismissed her servants, Zhu Zhanyong didn't have to hide it. He could see that she was the one who could make the decision.
Li Zhilu's beautiful almond-shaped eyes fell into hesitation: "The longer the raw silk stockpiles, the higher the requirements for the warehouse. The Duke's Mansion does have such a warehouse, but the sea is treacherous and cloudy, and there is a desperate situation. Your Highness is sure that there are merchants who dare to come. ."
"The big ship that Zheng He boarded was extremely strong. Although the sea was dangerous, I am sure that he would arrive in the capital within a month." Zhu Zhanyong said.
Li Zhilu neither said she believed him nor said she didn't believe him. Looking at Zhu Zhanyong, it seemed as if he had some kind of agreement with Zheng He and knew that the latter would definitely return to Beijing.
There are also shops in Guogong Mansion.
After listening to Zhu Zhanyong's words, he couldn't help but start thinking that if Zheng He really came back to Beijing, Zhu Zhanyong could also sell the silk.
Don't forget that King Zhao is still in the capital.
After hearing about the incident at the Meridian Gate, Zhu Zhanyong used an iron needle to ward off the thunder, which made King Zhao blunder in front of His Majesty. King Zhao would definitely not let him sell the silk easily.
After weighing the matter, Li Zhilu said: "The Duke's Mansion does have a vacant warehouse that can be borrowed by His Highness."
This was something that offended the imperial court. Zhu Zhanyong thought she would refuse, but he didn't expect to agree so readily: "Where is the warehouse in the Duke's mansion?"
The next step is to move the raw silk into the warehouse as soon as possible. Of course, Zhu Zhanyong does not need to do this himself, he only needs to inform him and pray.
Coming out of the British government.
Zhu Zhanyong suddenly remembered something. He had not used Su Qin's [Song of the Hundreds of Families] yet. This attribute ability would go on cooldown after one round of use.
At first, Guo Zuo's luck points were insufficient, but after returning from the Warring States Period, they were enough.
[You have consumed a lot of Guozuo luck points]
"I wonder who it could be?" Zhu Zhanyong murmured.
