Zhu Zhanji looked at Zhu Muchen and took a sip of wine and said: "I heard that the prince has a property called a supermarket in Wuchang City. I heard that more than ten carts of copper coins are transported back to the palace every day." He was about to say.
When Zhu Meng heard what he said, he swallowed back the words that came to his mouth.
"Hahaha~" Zhu Muchen suddenly laughed, and then said with a slight smile: "His Royal Highness Taisun is indispensable for marching and fighting. Food and grass are indispensable. The entire palace can only spend about one hundred thousand taels of silver at most. For these two
The military expenditure for a hundred thousand troops heading north is just a drop in the bucket. In this war, not only the people need to be fed, but the horses also need to be fed. Plus all kinds of war supplies, it will cost at least one million taels of silver. No matter how much this supermarket has to offer,
The money I can make is just a small business, the maximum I can earn in a year is about one hundred thousand taels. Besides, I have only been running the business for more than a month. How much money can I make? If my grandson needs it, he can take away all the copper coins from the house at any time."
Zhu Meng nodded repeatedly and said: "Yes, yes, it is true."
"Hahaha~" Zhu Zhanji also laughed and said: "Your Majesty, you are worrying too much. The soldiers in the prince's palace are all our soldiers in the Ming Dynasty. How could the court not care about this matter? I will report it to the emperor."
, Just ask the Prince of Chu to prepare for the Northern Expedition. The court will definitely resolve the matter of food and grass." In fact, the main purpose of his trip was to inform Zhu Meng to send troops. Three hundred thousand troops to fight against the Tatars was actually enough, but this Wuchang City
It is very close to Nanjing and has an army of 200,000. If it were to attack Nanjing, the consequences would be disastrous. After all, Zhu Di gained the throne through rebellion, and Zhu Meng is currently a major concern for him.
Zhu Meng stood up and cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, please rest assured."
Zhu Zhanji also stood up and responded: "Okay, with the help of Prince Chu, our army will win." Then he picked up the wine glass and had a drink with Zhu Meng, and then said: "It's getting late, let's get here first today.
, let’s have a drink and talk with the prince another day.”
When Zhu Muchen heard this, he thought to himself that this guy was about to leave. He had already become a little impatient. Moreover, he was still drawing the blueprints of the Hongyi cannon every night, so he really had no time to spare.
"Your Highness, Taisun, go slowly." Zhu Meng and Zhu Muchen escorted Zhu Zhanji out of the palace and then bowed their hands in salute.
"Your Majesty, the prince will stay and say goodbye." Zhu Zhanji also said goodbye to the two of them, then got into a carriage and left.
"Father, are you going to fight?" Zhu Muchen held Zhu Meng's hand and said.
"Alas~" Zhu Meng patted his belly with his other hand, glanced around and then said: "If I don't want to go, the emperor will take care of me first and then go north."
Zhu Muchen understood that his family was now the focus of the imperial court to reduce vassal status. He looked at Zhu Meng and said, "Father, will you take me with you?" He felt that he came from modern times. Although he did not know how to march and fight, he could still help to some extent.
He was busy, and he didn't want anything bad to happen to Zhu Meng.
"You stay with your mother in this palace. Don't worry about me. The royal guards of this palace will be taken care of by you from now on. Take good care of your mother and wait for me to come back." Zhu Meng patted Zhu Muchen on the shoulder.
said.
"Father, please take me with you. I can help you." Zhu Muchen still wanted to fight for it.
Zhu Meng waved his hand and said, "Don't mention this matter again. Go ahead, it's getting late." Then he turned and walked towards the palace.
Zhu Muchen looked at Zhu Meng's back and said, "Father, walk slowly."
