Chapter 155: Full support
I originally wanted to tease this guy Hao Fenglou, but who knew that he really let this guy decipher it? Zhu Di was also in a dilemma now because he had promised to reward him more. Originally, it was just a blank check, and its credit value was comparable to that of the treasure money of the Ming Dynasty. But now this guy has completed an almost impossible task. Without jokes, it would be impossible not to reward him.
Hao Fenglou was very wise to speak out first and ask for promotion, at least he had to give a Jinyiwei a polite or a sergeant to sit down. Of course, he knew that Zhu Di would not agree. First, he was too young, second, there was no vacancy, and third, Hao Fenglou knew the ideas of people like Zhu Di. Their so-called power tricks are just tricks of suppressing and promoting. He thought that people who are useful in the future would be suppressed for a while, which would make you uncomfortable, and then suddenly promoted them directly, which would make you grateful in an instant. Now Hao Fenglou has made contributions and is rewarded for merit. How could he be grateful?
Zhu Di refused decisively. At this time, Hao Fenglou was very clever to kick the ball back. There is an advantage here, that is, I asked for the price all over the world, but if you don’t agree, then you will decide how to reward yourself. However, because of the previous rejection, anyone would feel a little guilty. Therefore, Hao Fenglou was sure that although Zhu Di’s reward could not meet his expectations, he would never disappoint himself.
To put it bluntly, although it is just a few words to make a speech, it contains psychological content. Hao Fenglou's master in his previous life specializes in studying female psychology and teach Hao Fenglou many tricks. This small method only requires that he can grasp the other party's subtle psychological changes and is most useful for those high-end girls who bully the upper class.
Because you want to deal with the rich and beautiful woman, you want to make her look bright. It is too difficult. A woman with knowledge cannot be moved by just a few behaviors and a few words. If you want her to pay special attention to you, instead of showing off and hoping to shine, it is better to make the other party feel a little guilty through the opportunity. Often, this will lead to greater rewards.
Unfortunately, the master's sect was unfortunate. If the master of Hao Fenglou had known that the proud student he taught now used this to fool a real man with a beard, he would not know what he would feel.
Zhu Di really felt a little embarrassed. Hao Fenglou's request was not met. He felt a little cold in his heart, but what should he give him?
He touched the desk with a headache, then remembered the incident of Annan, and asked simply: "You want to smelify iron? Even if I ask you to set up a construction plan for Shenwuwei, the iron you smelted is really useful?"
Hao Fenglou said: "Your Majesty, I have thought of a way to refine good iron on a large scale."
Zhu Di smiled slightly and said, "You want to be unexpected again. Don't talk big, you will flash your tongue." Regarding iron smelting, Zhu Di is also a professional. When he rebelled, in order to forge weapons, he was afraid that the court would discover it, so he simply forged weapons in the backyard of the royal palace. For this reason, Zhu Di also raised a group of ducks and geese to cover up the sounds made during iron smelting. At that time, he had to run from time to time to care about the progress. Regarding iron smelting, Zhu Di was definitely not an outsider. He couldn't help but smile at Hao Fenglou's swearing look.
Hao Fenglou smiled and said, "Your Majesty does not believe it, I will definitely open your eyes when the time comes."
As he was speaking, Zheng He hurried in and said, "Your Majesty, the Japanese have sent another letter of nationality."
Zhu Di couldn't help but frown and said, "Give it."
A national book was handed to Zhu Di.
A national book was inexplicably sent, and Hao Fenglou also felt inexplicably sent. He remembered that when he was reading the newspaper a few days ago, there was indeed a Japanese man handing over the national book. Why did he suddenly come again? This national book is not a straw paper, was it the one you handed over when your family said it?
Zhu Di picked up the letter of the country in his hand, his face was solemn, and then he smiled coldly, saying, "These Japanese people are profit-oriented. I also said why they are so diligent. When they heard that I ascended the throne, they came to pay tribute and submit a letter. It turned out that they were insatiable and quarrels on my head. It was really hateful."
Hao Fenglou couldn't help but say, "Your Majesty, what's wrong with this Japanese?"
Zhu Di pondered for a moment, threw the letter of the country on the imperial case, and said, "It's nothing. This year, the tribute is ruling, and only Annan and Wa have come the most diligent. It's better not to say this Annan. As for this country, I thought they were bathing in the grace of heaven and admired the virtues of the heavens, so I was so diligent. Who knew that they paid 500 Japanese swords to pay tribute. I ordered the Ministry of Rites to arrange a reward, but they refused. They even wrote the letter of the country without authorization, and came to complain that my reward was not as valuable as the Japanese swords. I hope I would add something more..." Speaking of this, Zhu Di himself thought it was ridiculous. The vassal system was indeed a fig leaf for trade, but the other party said it so bluntly, which really made people laugh and cry.
Hao Fenglou said: "I wonder what the court rewarded them?"
Zhu Di pondered: "It's just silk, tea, ceramics, etc., and I'll give you a thousand pieces of silk alone. To be honest, the Japanese sword is indeed a good sword. I used it carefully and carefully crafted it, and I like it very much. I plan to use it for the heroes to use it, but the Japanese lions speak up, which will hurt me."
Hao Fenglou said: "Then what will your Majesty plan to deal with it."
Zhu Di glared at him and said, "You are troublesome, what does this have to do with you?" He paused and hesitated with his chin, "Although these Japanese men are rude, the Ming Dynasty is the country of the Celestial Empire after all, so he just let him give it and add a little reward. To be honest, I am really a little unwilling to accept it. If he is willing to surrender, it is understandable that he gives it generously, but such means are very shameless."
Hao Fenglou thought and said, "Your Majesty, the reason why the Japanese are rude is that they claim that their swords are magic weapons and look down on our Ming swords, so they feel that this sword is valuable and that our Ming rewards are too thin. But if Your Majesty seeks an opportunity, take a few good swords and sway in front of them. When they know that our Ming swords are stronger than the Japanese swords, they naturally feel that their swords are not worth a penny and feel ashamed. How dare you ask Your Majesty for more rewards? I am afraid that it is only the only way to surrender."
Zhu Di frowned and said, "What you said makes sense. My palace does contain many magical weapons and weapons, which are not worse than the Japanese sword. Even if it is several times better than the Japanese sword, it is not good. However, such swords are not good when compared with the swords in ordinary warriors. However, it is still not good to have a new system, which lasts for a long time and does not last for a day."
Hao Fenglou hurriedly said, "I am deeply grateful to the emperor and I am willing to share my worries."
"Oh?" Zhu Di couldn't help but be happy: "I almost forgot that you are my blacksmith. Why? Do you want to make a good sword? But if you only practice one or two, the Japanese may not be convinced. You can make a hundred swords in one breath so that you will not be able to get rid of them. Otherwise, people would say that the Ming Dynasty and the whole country practiced a sword to compete for merit with the Japanese, and they would not be able to get over it."
Hao Fenglou said, "Your Majesty, why not do this, let's make a bet."
When it is time to be arrogant, you must be arrogant, but you must not learn from the Japanese without knowing the height of the sky and the earth. You must grasp the limit. Hao Fenglou was a little arrogant and waited for Zhu Di's willing to take the bait.
Zhu Di became interested and said, "What are you going to bet on?"
Hao Fenglou said: "I am betting on this sword. Your Majesty will issue an order now. A month later, the vassal ministers will test the sword in the palace. At that time, all countries can participate. Take out the weapons of each country and try which one is better. I don't want my reward now. If I lose and lose my national constitution, I will not only not want this reward, but also let Your Majesty deal with it. But if I win, Your Majesty will give you double reward, what?"
Zhu Di took a deep breath. This guy was so angry. You should know that this matter is not small. If the order is issued now, it would be better to win. Once you lose, it would be more than just Zhu Di's old face.
Zhu Di's face became solemn: "Do you know the consequences of losing?"
Hao Fenglou said: "I know, but Your Majesty always says that I am not afraid of tigers when I am born, so I want to give it a try."
Zhu Di shook his head and said, "I won't take this risk and I won't accompany you to go crazy."
Hao Fenglou said excitedly: "Your Majesty, I dare to fight hard. Don't Your Majesty dare? If Your Majesty does not dare, please reward me."
Zhu Di's old face turned red. He didn't know when Hao Fenglou had the courage to squeeze himself out. However, people like Zhu Di still admired such a naughty and timid person. He looked down on him. Zhu Di couldn't help but smile: "I dare not? How dare I live in the world? Well, since you have to bet, I will accompany you to the end, then it's okay, just bet, I will issue an order tomorrow, but you have to be careful. If you lose your dignity in a month, I will put you in the oil pan."
Of course, it is a joke to put the oil pan, but it also shows that this matter is very important. Although it is not like putting the oil pan, Hao Fenglou will definitely suffer.
Hao Fenglou smiled and said, "Your Majesty is happy. However, since I am sacrificing my life for the sake of Your Majesty for our Ming Dynasty, then in order to win, glorify my ancestors and strengthen our country's power, your Majesty will have great support for the forging of my ministers. Maybe so, I will draw a list and draw some skilled craftsmen in the construction process. Yes, I still need a lot of supplies. I think Your Majesty will definitely agree."
After all, it turned out that he was using a gamble to attract sponsorship. Zhu Di understood that he was fooled by this little trick. Is this guy considered revenge after the imperial edict? Tai Sui dared to get into trouble, but he was very brave.
Zhu Di felt like he was deceived. This feeling has not been there for a long time and it feels strange.
