Ming Dynasty: The Sixth Brother of the Zhu Family Seeks Immortality

Chapter 67 The King of Han serves as the coach (2 updates)

"You said that you want your second uncle to be the martial arts instructor in the army?" Zhu Gaochi touched his beard and had some concerns in his mind.

Zhu Zhankan nodded: "No one is more suitable to be an instructor than my second uncle. The second uncle himself was born in the army, has experience in training the army, and has also reached the level of Taoism."

Zhu Zhanji couldn't help but said: "Sixth brother, teaching martial arts in the army is a big deal!"

Zhu Zhankan coughed and whispered: "Dad, brother, I have estimated the medicines produced by Caomu Tu. The first batch of medicines is estimated to be relatively limited. There is one less person. When the time comes, we still have to divide it." Can I get an extra portion?”

Zhu Gaochi didn't think this was good, because that was his dear brother!

So he whispered: "Can you give me a few more of your second brother's share?"

Zhu Zhanji and Zhu Zhankan did not expect that their old father would say this.

In fact, Zhu Zhankan was just joking when he said he could divide the Han king's elixirs.

I didn’t expect that my old father actually had such a plan!

Zhu Gaochi seemed to see the ridicule on Lao Liu's face, and he coughed twice.

He said in a deep voice: "Okay, stop joking, tell me why you sent your second uncle?"

Zhu Zhankan nodded and said: "First of all, after the army teaches martial arts, the soldiers will definitely go out with them, and now the training matters are in a relatively confidential stage."

Even after it is taught to soldiers, it can still be kept secret through the military camp as long as Zhu Di orders it.

"And we will definitely not be able to go on the expedition in the future, so in the end, either the emperor's grandfather will oversee the training of this army, or the second uncle will oversee the training of this army."

As for not keeping an eye on this army, then all of them are worried.

"There is also the eldest brother. It is possible that the eldest brother will follow him to conquer the north, but now that the cultivation of immortals is a big deal, the emperor will most likely not let the eldest brother go out to fight. In other words, the second uncle is more suitable."

Zhu Gaochi and Zhu Zhanji nodded in agreement.

"Another point is that my second uncle really doesn't have much money. If he goes to train, he can at least take a medicinal bath."

After saying that, several people laughed.

The success of the King of Han in depriving himself of food was also due to the fact that his third son went to 'ranscoat the house' in the first place.

Of course, the most important reason was that Zhu Zhankan didn't tell the two people.

The Luck Golden Dragon of Ming Dynasty has not yet reached the level of intelligence, although it has developed certain instincts.

Unfortunately, instinct is still very fragile.

Just like the last time, Zhu Zhankan lifted the rule in the Golden Dragon of Luck that the emperor's lineage could not practice.

The Luck Golden Dragon put up a fierce resistance.

There may be nothing wrong with a single person learning martial arts, but Zhu Zhankan is not sure if there is anything wrong with spreading martial arts on a large scale.

So, let the second uncle eat the first crab.

However, the first person to eat crabs, although taking risks, still has the opportunity to gain benefits.

Zhu Zhankan thought to himself, I am too kind, and I have not reaped all the benefits that my second uncle might gain.

As the saying goes, when Cao Cao arrives, Cao Cao will arrive.

While the three masters were still discussing how to conduct training, Han Wang Zhu Gaoxu, who had just come out of the Imperial Study Room, had already arrived at the Prince's Mansion.

As soon as I went out, I met Zhang, the bachelor of Baimao Pavilion, who was walking.

"I've met my sister-in-law." King Han said hello to Mrs. Zhang with a sad face.

Mrs. Zhang was a little surprised. She had never seen such a polite King of Han.

"Second brother is coming, why didn't you tell someone in advance?"

"It's an emergency, sister-in-law, where is eldest brother?"

Mrs. Zhang pointed to the study: "In the study, that's the room."

"Then I'll go in."

"Go." After Mrs. Zhang said this, she walked away with the bachelor of Baimao Pavilion.

As soon as he reached the door, Han Wang Zhu Gaoxu heard the discussion of three people.

"The expenses for this martial arts should be reimbursed by the Ministry of Household Affairs, right?"

"Is the Ministry of Household Affairs willing to pay this money? Sixth brother, how much will it cost? Have you calculated it?"

"If you follow what Grandpa Huang said to train a hundred households of warriors, it won't cost much. Three months of medicinal bathing will cost about three hundred thousand taels of silver."

Both the King of Han at the door and Zhu Gaochi and Zhu Zhanji inside were all shocked.

"Sixth brother, three hundred thousand taels of silver is not much?" Zhu Zhanji said with a bitter face: "Even if you earn two million taels of silver a year, don't think that three hundred thousand taels of silver is not much!"

Three hundred thousand taels of silver, regardless of rising prices, would be worth at least more than two million shi if converted into food!

It already accounts for one-twentieth of the food tax!

This is already a huge number.

"Well, it's hard for the Ministry of Revenue to come up with such a big sum of money, right?"

Zhu Gaochi could imagine Xia Yuanji's expression of moneylessness.

It is impossible for anyone to be willing to ask the Ministry of Revenue to pay such a large sum of money for no reason and without explaining the situation clearly.

At this moment, King Han pushed the door open and walked in.

As soon as I entered, I started complaining.

"I said boss, even if my brother did something wrong, you can't cheat me like this, right?"

"What kind of coach should my brother be? Can you think of it?"

Zhu Gaochi saw his second brother arriving. Although he came in a little unexpectedly, he did not blame his younger brother.

"Second brother, who did you hear to ask you to become a coach?"

"Listen to your father's wishes!"

Zhu Gaochi thought it was not good. He was exposed directly from the source. How could he fool him... No, how could he persuade his younger brother.

"Second brother, don't worry." Zhu Gaochi helped the King of Han and found a seat to sit down first.

"This martial arts coach is also good..."

Zhu Gaochi repeated what they had said to the King of Han.

Seeing the King of Han's fooled expression, Zhu Gaochi nodded with relief.

When it does not involve the throne, the second brother is still easy to fool.

"So we are discussing how to formally train now."

Zhu Zhankan looked at his fat father who fooled his younger brother with a few words, and gave him a thumbs up in his heart.

The King of Han asked: "I heard that there is a lack of money and food just now?"

"Can the second uncle solve it?" Zhu Zhankan asked with a smile.

The King of Han coughed a few times. How could he solve it? He couldn't even get the money for his own practice.

If he had 300,000 taels of silver, he would spend his own money to ask his sixth nephew to refine medicine.

Who has the heart to train a martial arts army?

Seeing that his second uncle did not speak, Zhu Zhankan continued: "In fact, there is more than one troublesome problem. There is another problem."

"Who will support the army in the future?"

"Sixth brother, the army will of course be supported by the court..."

Wait! How can the current court afford such expenses!

Seeing Zhu Gaochi, the King of Han and Zhu Zhanji react.

Zhu Zhankan continued: "Three months of medicine money will require 300,000 taels of silver, plus salaries, resettlement expenses, weapons and equipment, food supply... Adding all the expenses together, it is estimated that it will cost 2 million taels a year, provided that the price of medicine does not increase."

However, with a million taels of silver spent on medicine a year, it is obviously impossible for the surrounding medicines not to increase in price!

Chapter 68 Huge wealth! The dazzling property of Prince Ning's Mansion (1 more)

When several people were thinking about how to raise money.

Outside the Prince's Mansion, a report came from outside the door. Yang Shiqi, the Grand Secretary of the Cabinet, came to discuss important matters.

"What's going on today? People come one after another?" Zhu Gaochi stood up and prepared to change to a formal hall to meet Yang Shiqi.

Zhu Zhanji supported his fat father and walked to the formal house for receiving guests with a refreshed spirit.

As soon as he entered the door, Yang Shiqi looked at the prince anxiously.

"Your Highness, the Ning Wang Mansion was ordered by His Majesty to be confiscated!"

Zhu Gaochi and Zhu Zhanji looked at each other.

Confiscating the Ning Wang Mansion? It was beyond reason, but also expected.

Zhu Gaochi hesitated and said: "Ning Wang is extremely evil and intends to assassinate the king. It is reasonable to confiscate Ning Wang Mansion."
