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

"Zhankan, Zhankan!"

Mrs. Zhang heard the commotion and quickly whispered into Zhan Kan's ear: "Your unreliable father is here, don't care what requests he makes, just follow your mother's eyes!"

"Zhankan, I congratulate you on getting rich."

Zhu Zhankan was instantly possessed by the actor and looked at him with confusion.

"You've gotten rich, Zhankan. If you get rich, how are you going to spend it?"

Zhu Gaochi hinted wildly.

"How to spend it?" Zhu Zhankan asked Madam Zhang curiously: "Mom, how much money have you made?"

"How can a man ask his mother about everything?" Zhu Gaochi retorted righteously.

Mrs. Zhang looked at Zhu Gaochi with an unkind expression.

"Then I will build a house and buy a piece of land. I will build a big house with three entrances and three exits. I will also leave a lake with bad water in the middle of the yard. I will also build a pavilion in the center of the lake and raise fat fish in the lake. With ducks, oh, if conditions permit, raising some pigeons will also become..."

"Cough, cough." Zhu Gaochi coughed twice, feeling helpless.

Asking a seven or eight-year-old child what he would do if he had money.

What else can this kid do if he has money? It’s nothing more than eating, drinking and having fun.

Mrs. Zhang said angrily: "Okay, you are such an adult and you still want to kidnap the child's pocket money."

"Pocket money?" Zhu Gaochi's eyes widened: "My pocket money for most of my life has not been as much as this kid earns today!"

"Oh, didn't you just earn one hundred thousand taels of silver?" Zhu Zhankan waved his hand: "As a prince, you have never seen how much money you have? Are you still short of this one hundred and eighty thousand taels of silver?"

"Listen, listen, are these human words? Don't say one hundred and eighty thousand, just one hundred and eighty thousand. Your father is short of even that."

Zhu Gaochi looked at his sixth son with a bitter look on his face.

"Well, at worst, if you improve other things, you can still make money. There are so many things waiting for people to modify them. After they are modified, won't they still make money?"

Zhu Gaochi was stunned when he heard this. How could this guy make the modification so easy?

Things that have been used by our ancestors for many years can be transformed with just a few words?

Soon, Zhu Gaochi came to his senses again and said bluntly: "Zhankan, do you have any other methods for making good things?"

"Of course..." Zhu Zhankan jumped off the couch and spread his hands: "No."

“How can good things be so easy to make?”

During the chat, a young eunuch came over.

"Prince, there is an imperial edict!"

Zhu Gaochi pointed to the door: "Look, someone asking for money is here."

Zhu Gaochi urged: "Go and take the order."

The family bowed at the door.

"The emperor ordered that the crown prince Zhu Gaochi and the sixth emperor's grandson Zhu Zhankan enter the palace immediately. There must be no mistakes."

After receiving the order, Zhu Gaochi warned: "Hurry up and change your clothes, and I will take you to the palace."

After a while, Zhu Gaochi took Zhu Zhankan to the palace after packing.

A young eunuch walked respectfully to Zhu Di and whispered: "The Crown Prince and the Sixth Emperor's grandson are outside asking for an audience."

"Let them come in."

Chapter 3 A small meeting in the palace

There were several other courtiers in the palace, apparently having a court meeting.

Zhu Zhankan thought to himself: Something's wrong. The old man usually only brings the emperor's eldest grandson to court meetings. When did I get this treatment?

Zhu Gaochi pulled Zhu Zhankan and said, "You still don't want to say hello?"

"Your Majesty, Holy Father." Zhu Zhankan bowed respectfully.

"I'm fine, come and listen." Zhu Di waved his hand casually.

Zhu Zhankan followed his father and stood aside.

Look carefully at this tall old man.

Looking at Zhu Di from a close distance, he was a strong old man with a tall and firm figure, not looking like an old man at all.

Immediately, the emperor finally had a murderous spirit, which was frightening to watch.

His eyes were extremely sharp, as if he could see into people's hearts.

I just feel that he seems a little uneasy and well-intentioned, right?

Zhu Zhankan felt that he seemed to be remembered by Emperor Yongle.

After a while, the emperor's grandson Zhu Zhanji came to the palace, saluted and stood aside.

The palace with yellow tiles was very quiet. Zhu Di was sitting on the throne and carefully browsing the memorial. He did not close the memorial until he made a decision.

Zhu Di slowly raised his head and saw Zhu Gaochi and his two sons, as if he suddenly remembered why he called them over.

"Changsun, take a look at this memorial first, and Zhankan, take a look at it too."

Um?

The ministers in the palace were shocked. What was the emperor thinking?

What is the purpose of letting the sixth emperor's grandson and the emperor's eldest grandson watch the memorial together today?

The ministers pondered what the emperor meant.

Zhu Zhanji noticed that the younger brother had looked away, so he closed the memorial again.

"Grandpa Huang, you've finished reading."

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhu Di looked at the two emperors and grandsons.

"Okay, tell me, what do you think?"

Zhu Zhankan understood clearly and rolled his eyes in his mind. Is the old man eyeing the profits from soap and perfume?

After noon today, in just over an hour, the perfume made a profit of one hundred thousand taels of silver.

Perfume is mainly purchased by the female relatives of wealthy families in Beijing. Among the legal money, money from women and children is the easiest to earn.

As for soap and perfume, Zhu Zhankan almost earned more than 1.8 million taels of silver in the past year with these two killer weapons!

If you include the nationwide sales of perfume, it is estimated to be another 1.8 million taels!

Even Zhu Gaochi didn't know about this huge amount of money.

Only the two of them have a complete list of accounts.

The old man has Jinyiwei as his eyes and ears, and he probably knows some inside information.

In addition, the memorial mentioned floods, droughts, and the Northern Expedition...

Zhu Zhankan's eyes widened slightly, and I felt that there must be something fishy about this matter...

Just when Zhu Zhanji was thinking about how to answer, the hearts of the ministers in the palace were in turmoil.

Before Zhu Zhanji was officially canonized as the grandson of the emperor, everything was unpredictable.

And the teenage Zhu Zhanji had never participated in government affairs.

Even though Zhu Di showed that he valued his eldest grandson very much, he even brought his eldest grandson to teach him directly.

But this does not confirm that Zhu Di intended to let his eldest grandson succeed to the throne.

Therefore, Zhu Di examined Zhu Zhanji and Zhu Zhankan, and the factors released were too complicated.

Zhu Zhanji formally replied: "Send officers and soldiers to comfort the people, allocate disaster relief money, and finally organize manpower and material resources to assist the people in reconstruction."

Zhu Di nodded, and his answer was standard and stable.

Zhu Di did not say good or bad about Zhu Zhanji's remarks.

Zhu Zhankan stood aside with a blank expression, listening quietly.

He didn't intend to get involved in the affairs of the court.

If it was done well, it was natural, but if it was not done well, he would be worried.

For him, the first thing was to adjourn the meeting quickly and go home to cultivate immortality!

"What do you think, Zhankan?"

Zhu Zhankan secretly complained, but since Zhu Di asked him, he naturally had to go and answer.

"Brother is right..."

After speaking, Zhu Zhankan returned to his original position.

"..."

Zhu Zhankan's speech directly stunned the palace officials.

"Well? You don't have any ideas on how to provide disaster relief?" Zhu Di asked sternly.
