Suzhou Panmen Ruiguang Tower.

Zhang Tianyou stood on the tower, looking at the No. 1 spinning factory surrounded by tens of thousands of weavers, with playful disdain written on his face.

He was imagining what he would do if he were the grandson of the Ming Emperor.

With the imperial court at his back, the support of an imperial grandfather like Tufu Zhu, the full cooperation of the Suzhou prefect, and the garrison troops that could be mobilized at any time, they couldn't even deal with a few merchants?

Or is it that Zhu Yunxi is a loser who doesn’t know anyone is dealing with him until now?

Even if he didn't know it at first, he should have realized the problem when Sun Yuan burned down the official warehouse last time, right?

Zhang Tianyou couldn't figure out why Zhu Yunxi still refused to mobilize the army even though he knew that there were merchants secretly competing with him.

Could it be said that Zhu Yunxi is really as benevolent and righteous as the world says?

Zhang Tianyou thought of this and shook his head bitterly.

The old Zhu family can have ruthless, greedy, violent and other bloodlines, but they should not have such things as benevolence and righteousness.

The true benevolence and righteousness is like that of his father, Zhang Shicheng, who is still remembered by the people of Suzhou City even after his death for almost thirty years!

Zhang Tianyou looked at it for a while, and suddenly said "Xiangsi" to the air around him. After saying this, he realized that for the sake of safety, he did not go to Qin Xiangsi when he came back this time, and Qin Xiangsi didn't even know that he was back.

Zhang Tianyou sighed, feeling that it was time to find a new confidante.

Although Qin Xiangsi is not here, Zhang Zhong, the old man of the Zhang family, is.

Zhang Zhong was originally Zhang Shicheng's adopted son, who was called the fifth prince by outsiders and was Zhang Shicheng's most capable subordinate during his lifetime.

After Zhang Shicheng's defeat, Zhang Zhong fled with Zhang Shicheng's youngest son on his back, avoiding the pursuit of Zhu Yuanzhang's men along the way, thus saving the last bit of Zhang Shicheng's blood.

Therefore, his emotions towards Zhang Tianyou are very complicated.

Genealogically speaking, he is Zhang Tianyou's adopted brother, but emotionally speaking, he plays the role of father more often.

Now seeing the lonely look on Zhang Tianyou's face, Zhang Zhong felt sour in his heart.

"If the young master misses Mrs. Qin, I can bring Mrs. Qin out!"

"Thank you, Fifth Brother, for your kindness. I won't lose my mind because of a woman..."

"Furthermore, it is not a crime to harm a brother like Fifth Brother for the sake of a woman. Let the woman stay under the surveillance of the Jin Yiwei. It seems that the Jin Yiwei will not be able to deal with a woman."

Zhang Zhong chuckled when he heard this, then hid aside and turned into a silent figure.

"Fifth brother, do you think we can avenge our father in our lifetime?"

Zhang Zhong became even more silent when he heard this. Back then, they were so strong that they could not defeat Zhu Yuanzhang, who was still on the rise. Now that Zhu Yuanzhang has been ruling the Central Plains for more than 20 years, why should they fight?

But this kind of thing can only be thought in the heart, but cannot be said out loud.

After all, he and Zhang Tianyou had lived on this hatred for nearly thirty years.

Seeing that Zhang Zhong was silent, Zhang Tianyou said to himself.

"I really hope Zhu Yunxi can die. In that case, Zhu Butcher can experience the pain of losing his grandson after losing his son..."

When Zhang Zhong heard this, he suddenly spoke.

"Young Master, do you want to assassinate Zhu Yunxi?"

Zhang Tianyou didn't shy away from it and nodded honestly.

"That's natural!"

"I want to kill him in my dreams, but we don't have to do it. Let's ask the White Lotus Sect to do it!"

"Are you from the bloodline of King Xiao Ming?"

"hehe……"

When Zhang Zhong heard this, he couldn't help showing ridicule on his face.

When they rebelled against the Yuan Dynasty, they just needed someone to take the lead, so they had the so-called Ming Wang.

After they established a firm foothold and had their own territory, Prince Xiao Ming became a waste, and was eventually drowned by Zhu Yuanzhang.

When Zhang Tianyou heard Zhang Zhong's ridicule, he felt a little embarrassed and hurriedly explained.

"Fifth brother, don't laugh. I also know that they are unreliable, so I just give them some money to kill. It doesn't matter whether they can succeed or not."

"Relatively speaking, I have to trouble my fifth brother to go to Annan in the past few days to bring my sons there and settle them down."

Zhang Zhong's face suddenly became serious when he heard this.

"Young Master, have you finally decided?"

Zhang Tianyou nodded heavily.

"yes!"

"The Ming Dynasty's navy is about to be completed. Once the navy is completed, the Ming Dynasty will no longer have opportunities for maritime smuggling. Our forces entrenched in the sea will also encounter key attacks from the Ming army."

"Therefore, let's transport the money to Annan in advance and become a prince there."

Zhang Zhong also supports this strategy, especially now that the political situation in Annan is unstable. The Chen family has shown that it cannot control the state affairs in Annan. All national affairs are controlled by the powerful minister Li Jisao. As long as they bribe Li well, they can easily

Obtain a port and land in Annan.

There were many considerations why they chose Annan.

First of all, Annan's writing and customs are close to those of the Central Plains. Since the Tang and Song Dynasties, Annan has been subject to the Central Plains Dynasty, and a large number of people from the Central Plains Dynasty have migrated there.

Secondly, Annan is full of ports, which are very suitable for maritime trade and piracy business.

Finally, Annan is weak.

As long as the Zhang family is given several generations of time, the emperor of Annan may not be able to change his surname to Zhang!

This is also the biggest expectation of Zhang Tianyou and others.

After all, taking Chinese history as an example, the Tian family can replace Qi, and the Zhang family can naturally also replace Chen!

"Please rest assured, young master, I will make proper arrangements for the young masters and their wives..."

"With Fifth Brother taking care of me, what else should I worry about?"

After Zhang Tianyou said this, he looked down at the noisy scene with a smirk on his face.

"It's just that before I leave, I have to set a fire for Daming, hahaha!"

After Zhang Tianyou laughed wildly, his eyes suddenly saw a touch of vermilion.

In the Ming Dynasty, vermilion was a very noble color and could only be used by the royal family and high-ranking officials.

Immediately afterwards, he heard a noise coming from below.

"The great grandson of the Emperor has arrived!"

"All soldiers and civilians kneel down to greet us!"

Zhang Tianyou couldn't help but frown when he heard this voice.

"Why is Zhu Yunxi here?"

Although no less than 20,000 people gathered at the entrance of the No. 1 Spinning Factory, everyone knelt down when they heard that the emperor's carriage had arrived.

Zhu Yunxi was sitting on the carriage, looking at the crowd of heads below, and suddenly thought of an allusion, an allusion called Sarajevo.

If someone suddenly jumped out of the crowd and shot a few arrows at him, he wouldn't be shot to death on the spot, right?

Zhu Yunxi subconsciously touched his clothes and felt the hardness and coldness of the soft armor inside the clothes, which made him feel a little relieved.

As the carriage moved forward, the crowd kneeling on the ground automatically made way for Zhu Yunxi's carriage to enter the factory.

Zhu Yunxi entered the gate of the factory and immediately led four guards in armor holding shields onto a high platform.

In the beginning, no one knew why the emperor built a high platform in the factory, and no one knew what the loudspeakers on the high platform were used for.

It wasn't until Zhu Yunxi stood on top and shouted to the tens of thousands of weavers gathered in front of the factory that they realized that the emperor's grandson had expected this day.

When Zhang Qinglai saw Zhu Yunxi standing on the high platform, he felt his heart surge and his blood surge.

Although he didn't know how the emperor's grandson expected this and had already made arrangements in advance when the factory was built.

But he knows one thing, that is, at this moment, Zhu Yunxi is a god!

"Fellows and fellow villagers, I know why you are here to make trouble, and I also know what you want!"

"All you ask for is to provide for your family!"

The common people kneeling below were moved to tears when they heard Zhu Yunxi's heartfelt words.

Those who are so sentimental slap their mouths in self-blame, secretly cursing that they are not a thing.

They are making such a fuss that they might as well set fire to their factory.

However, instead of being angry at all, the emperor's grandson understood their situation so well!

"Emperor Sun Shengming!"

"It's not that we want to go against the emperor's grandson. It's really that we have no way to survive. Please have mercy on the emperor's grandson and give us, the common people, a way to survive. Wuwuwu..."

After an old man with some skills said these words, all the weavers behind him repeated it with tears in his eyes.
