Chapter 637: Asking for Officials
Zhu Chi clasped his fists with both hands and bowed them to the ground.
"Zhu Chi has met the auxiliary king!"
Na Wei sat as firm as a mountain, just stretched out his hand to support him, and said: "Commander Zhu, please stand up, you and I are old acquaintances. , There is no need for such a big gift!"
Zhu Chi stood up straight and said: "This is the same time, and you certainly deserve such a big gift right now!"
Na Wei laughed loudly: "When I was in the southwest, I heard about Mr. Zhu's reputation for being able to bend and stretch. Today, it seems that Commander Zhu is indeed deeply respected by Mr. Zhu himself. I am still among everyone in Danyang. Who would be the first to do so?" One of them came to me, but I really didn’t expect it to be the Zhu family!”
This is really not a good thing to say,
it even feels a little insulting and looks down on people.
Zhu Chi, however, did not change his face and his heart did not beat. He just said calmly: "The old man's vision is not very good, otherwise he would not have gone against the Queen Mother back then, which made the Zhu family have to pay such a heavy price in the end. Only then can one escape. It was precisely because of this blow that my old man fell ill."
"I know, that's why he died in the battle when we overthrew the Demon Queen!" Na Wei said: "Are you scared?"
"My grandpa is old. He has experienced ups and downs, great sadness and joy, double stimulation, and finally passed away. Otherwise, the Zhu family will naturally join the auxiliary government and start a big fight." Zhu Chi said: "But it's not too late now!"
Na Wei nodded and said: "It's not too late, it's just the right time. You didn't take any risks, but you can gain the most. If this is your old man's plan, then I admire you very much." Falling to the ground. It's a pity that the old man is gone. If he were here, why would I have to entrust him with such a heavy responsibility? Commander Zhu, I am a barbarian in the eyes of you Chu people. I won't beat around the bush. Just tell me, what is your value now? Just because you were the first to come to me, you thought I could sell horse bones for a thousand pieces of gold, but I don’t know how to do it.” What?" Zhu Chi asked.
"Of course it's soldiers and horses!" Na Wei said with a smile: "Isn't this nonsense? I have the soldiers and horses in my hand, and I have them all in the world. If anyone dares to blow his hair, I will pluck it for him!"
Zhu Chi shook his head repeatedly and said: "King Assistant, that is wrong!"
"Zhu Chi, if you don't say something, I'm afraid it will be easier for you to come in than to get out of this door today!" Na Wei didn't seem to be very angry, but his words were full of murderous intent.
"Assistant King, the most important thing is not soldiers, but money!" Zhu Chi said: "If you have money, you will have soldiers. If you don't have money, the soldiers will disperse. Just take your control of Danyang now. For the more than 30,000 southwest wolf soldiers, they spend a lot of money every day on wages, bounties, etc. It’s a huge expense. I heard that the Auxiliary King is still deploying troops from the southwest. Although these people are the provincial party members of the Auxiliary King, it’s not a good idea to leave their hometowns without generous rewards, right?”
Na Wei pondered for a moment, and Zhu Chi's words really touched on his worries.
Earlier, I thought that the court of Da Chu was extremely rich, but now that I have become the auxiliary king and asked people to take stock of my property, I suddenly discovered that Da Chu is completely powerful on the outside but powerful on the inside.
Not only is there no financial surplus, it is running deficits year after year. It owes a huge amount of money, and every year it borrows new debts to repay old debts.
And these accounts are not bad.
Because those who dare to borrow money from the imperial court have very strong foundations.
Unless Na Wei wants to break up and stop playing together, it is really difficult to lose face and refuse to pay back. Money, at least the interest should be given to others, right?
Now Na Wei wants to do more than just keep the southwest,
He also wants to go one step further!
Thinking of the appointment with Li Dachui, Na Wei felt hot all over.
But without money, it was really difficult to move forward. "Can you get the money?" he asked.
"Of course!" Zhu Chi nodded: "The Assistant King may not know yet, but the most profitable business in Da Chu now is sea trade."
"Of course I know, but as far as I know, you, Zhu Chi, are just one of the Zhu families. How much money can you earn?"
Zhu Chi laughed: "If the Assistant King is willing, I can let Da Chu run the sea trade fleet, leaving only my Zhu family and the Assistant King. Others want to make this money, then they can only Can you play with us?”
Na Wei’s eyes narrowed. : "Tell me how you can do it? None of those who do maritime trade are easy to do. They are businessmen on the coast. They are no different from pirates when they go to sea."
"The sea is indeed lawless. It’s just that Zhu and Cai from Xuanwu Prefecture outside the Pass "We have a good relationship!"
"Mo Ruo said you have a good relationship with Li Dachui!"
"It's the same!" Zhu Chi said with a smile: "We can all be friends when we have the same interests!" A huge ocean-going navy, With strong combat power, as long as we get the sailing time and route of these people, we can easily prevent these people's fleets from coming back. As long as they can't come back, then only we can do this big ocean business. ”
"Aren't you afraid that Li Dachui will take advantage of others and make our fleet unable to come back?"
"Our goods are also needed outside the customs!" Zhu Chidao. "And I have always had a good relationship with them."
"Li Dachui is also my enemy!"
"Assistant King, that is a matter for the future!" Zhu Chidao: "Assistant King now The king needs his help, and he needs your help. If you can't get a lot of money in a short period of time, your position as the assistant king may not be secure! The more southwest wolf soldiers come, the more money you need. When you can't get the money, they will It is possible to find money on your own. Once you start doing such things, the King of Assistant Government will It is difficult to control these unruly wolf soldiers. Just like a tiger, once it eats a person and tastes the delicious food of a person, it will definitely eat people again unless you kill it. Having come to this point, let alone wanting to compete with Li Dachui in the future, I am afraid that the country will The internal resistance and riots will make you confused!"
"That makes sense!" Na Wei nodded: "It's just Zhu Chi, how can I trust you? Are you loyal to Da Chu or Li Dachui? ”
"The Auxiliary King is joking. Hundreds of people from my Zhu Chi clan are in Danyang. Do you dare to be disloyal to Dachu? The reason why I negotiated with Guan Waixu is that I want to get more information. Secondly, I also want to get more information." More money." Zhu Chi said sternly: "Back then, I got the latest weapons from outside the customs. It's a pity that the court didn't pay attention to it and missed the opportunity. Otherwise, how could we lose this battle at Chibi?"
Seeing Zhu Chi who was a little sad, Na Wei felt relieved: "That's it. Any way to get money? ”
"Of course!" Zhu Chidao said: "If the auxiliary king allows me to take charge of the household department, I have many ways to get some money for the auxiliary king from the hands of wealthy families in various places."
“You are one of them, right?”
"No longer!" Zhu Chi said with a smile: "It used to be! But after the Zhu family has experienced many changes, they have been regarded as aliens by them and will no longer accept us, so I am very sad to let them shed some blood. Happy. Especially someone like Xiong."
Na Wei burst out laughing.
