My father Yongle, building a five-good family

Chapter 158 You are afraid of nothing!

After Tuo'er Huochar tried to change the subject several times, Zhu Gaosui finally revealed his true intentions.

"As the leader of Duoyanwei, don't you want the people of the tribe to live a good life?"

Tuoer Huochaer's expression changed slightly, and he immediately said:

"Good life? Aren't our lives good enough now? We don't need to fight, and we have such a fertile grassland. The warriors of our tribe can graze and hunt on the grassland to their heart's content. Isn't this enough?"

Tuo'er Huochaer looked at Zhu Gaosui, whose face still had a bit of immaturity, and couldn't help but laugh:
"Since Taizu founded the country, there have been constant wars. I don't have any great abilities, I just want to live a stable life."

After hearing this, Zhu Gaosui fell silent.

After a while, just when Tuo'er Huochaer thought that he was about to give up, Zhu Gaosui suddenly said:

“But are these days good days?”

Tuo'erhuochar frowned and looked straight at Zhu Gaosui, wondering what the basis was for his words.

Then Zhu Gaosui continued:
"When I was grilling fish with my younger brother by the Xilamulun River, I saw that the salt everyone brought out was the most common, even a little astringent, coarse salt."

"This kind of salt is precious to you, but to the people of our Ming Dynasty, it is just a necessity for daily food and clothing. Especially for the people in the land of fish and rice in the south of the Yangtze River, although they have to work hard every day, they can still afford this kind of coarse salt."

"If this is the case for ordinary people, what about officials and nobles? You are well-known people in the three Wuliangha guards, but your children can only eat coarse salt."

"What about the rest of the children? Don't tell me that this is how it's been for generations. Adults can tolerate it, but what about the children?"

Zhu Gaoyu now began to speak up for his third brother:

"If you eat less salt, it is easy to cause a sallow complexion, fatigue, palpitations, shortness of breath, and swelling all over the body..."

After hearing the long list of problems listed by Zhu Gaoyu, Tuo'er Huochaer finally could not be as open-minded as he was at the beginning.

Because the symptoms described by Zhu Gaoyu correspond exactly to the diseases that often occur in the tribe.

Originally they thought it was caused by other reasons, but now it seems that solving this problem is both very difficult and easy...

That is to have enough salt.

However, the salt they had was not only insufficient in quantity, but most of it was coarse salt.

There is always dirt, gravel and other things mixed in coarse salt, but it is difficult to pick them out, which is very troublesome.

So most of the time, everyone just sprinkles it on and eats it anyway.

When these mud, sand and gravel fall into the stomach, in the words of Zhu Gaoyu, it is extremely easy to damage the stomach and intestines, causing stomach pain, bloating and indigestion.

Listening to the brothers Zhu Gaosui and Zhu Gaoyu singing the same tune, Tuoerhuochar couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

Zhu Gaosui struck while the iron was hot and continued:
"But my father, the Prince of Yan, is different. If you can follow the Prince of Yan to revolt, my father promised that we can exchange horses. We can use your surplus cattle and sheep to exchange for grain, tea and salt..."

I have to say that although these two brothers are young, each one is smarter than the other.

Especially when Zhu Gaosui said the words "interconnect the horse market", Zhu Xiaosi couldn't help but look at his third brother.

He remembered...it seemed that his father had not made this promise yet?

Just use it to fool people, it's really... so good!

Sure enough, all these brothers are from the same bloodline.

No wonder they became brothers!

You know, even Tuo'er Huochaer couldn't help but feel his heart beating a little faster after hearing what Zhu Gaoyu said.

If they could open the horse market and trade cattle and sheep with the Ming Dynasty, it would be a huge benefit for the three Uriankhai guards.

However, this is just one of the benefits of joining Prince Yan in his campaign against the Japanese aggression.

If the Jingnan Campaign really succeeded, the promotion of officials and titles would only be one of the things that would happen. The tribes might even be rewarded with new pastures and lands...

Of course, the premise of all of this is that the Jingnan Campaign is successful.

If the Jingnan Campaign fails, wanting to escape unscathed would probably be wishful thinking and would not be that easy.

The issue that Tuo'er Huochar was most worried about was whether the children of the tribe would be implicated if the Jingnan Campaign failed.

This matter cannot be resolved by just a few words between Zhu Gaosui and Zhu Gaoyu.

Tuo'er Huochaer thought about it for a long time, feeling both excited and worried, but still unable to make up his mind.

So he just smiled:

"Duoyan Guard, Taining Guard and Funing Guard have all prepared for the spring hunt in the past few days. If the two princes are interested, why not stay and watch."

Zhu Gaoyu couldn't help but widen his eyes:
"Spring hunting? Are there any deer?"

Tuoer Huochar immediately laughed, "There are Nuruhu Mountain and Qilaotu Mountain nearby. Now that the weather is getting warmer and spring has arrived, everything in the forest is reviving, and there will naturally be deer."

After he finished speaking, he saw Zhu Gaoyu's longing look, and thinking of what his grandson had said before, he couldn't help but say:
"But if you come across a pregnant doe, it's best not to kill it and eat it."

Generally speaking, it is best not to shoot pregnant animals.

The purpose of doing this is to allow for better natural reproduction and prevent overfishing.

Zhu Gaoyu felt helpless when he heard this.

Could it be that in the eyes of these adults, he, the dignified Prince of Dinghai, doesn't even know this?
Tuo'er Huochaer looked at Zhu Gaoyu's expression, and he didn't know if it was an illusion, but he actually saw a hint of disgust in this child.

But he quickly put this strange feeling behind his mind.

How could a child this young be so smart? You know, when Baoyin and Bater were his age, they were just fooling around.

Thinking of this, Tuo'er Huochaer spoke to Zhu Gaoyu as if he was coaxing a child:

"There will be a wrestling competition before the spring hunt tomorrow. If you are interested, you can participate."

Wrestling?

what!
Zhu Gaoyu glanced at his chubby arms, jumped a few times, and felt his heavy body. His eyes suddenly brightened up.

He is so fat and solid, and...well, a little short, but that also means that his center of gravity is low and his chassis is stable.

If he participated in this wrestling tournament, wouldn't it be easy for him to win?
quack quack...

Zhu Gaoyu was just about to put his hands on his hips and show off his power in front of others.

Zhu Gaosui, on the other hand, seemed to be hesitant to speak.

This time they didn't come out to play.

However, when Zhu Gaosui thought about his younger brother's inexplicable luck, he suddenly felt that it would be okay to let him try...

It’s the same old saying anyway.

Come here.

He has to stay here for a few days anyway, so wouldn't it be a good idea to let Zhu Gaoyu participate in a wrestling tournament?

……

night.

Zhu Gaoyu and Zhu Gaosui sat by the campfire.

Behind them is a highly regulated yurt.

Although they were both relatively young, Tuerhuochar did not dare to neglect them at all because of their status.

The grassland at night was filled with a cold wind from the northwest, which chapped Zhu Gaoyu's face.

After a series of busy days, Zhu Gaosui finally relaxed at night, and his face inevitably showed a hint of fatigue.

He looked at Zhu Gaoyu who was still fiddling with sparks in front of the bonfire and couldn't help but sigh:
"You are still young and energetic. Unlike me, I am old..."

Hearing this, Sudan and others nearby twitched their mouths.

You two should say goodbye.

One was six years old, the other sixteen or seventeen years old, both were so young, but in the end, they were filled with emotion.

If Zhu Gaosui is considered old, what should they do?
Just go to the ground!

Zhu Gaoyu glanced at Zhu Gaosui and nodded seriously:

"Indeed, Third Brother, you have heavy eye bags, and there is a layer of dark circles under your eyes. You do look a little old, and your skin and flesh don't look fresh anymore..."

Zhu Gaosui couldn't hold back any longer and finally took action, giving the boy an iron punch.

I let you speak because I wanted Zhu Gaoyu to comfort himself, but I didn't let him say that!

Zhu Gaoyu covered his forehead in grievance.

You'll be unhappy again after I tell you.

Can't he just not say it next time?

After his younger brother's jokes, Zhu Gaosui was angry at first, but when his mood improved, he felt that the depression he had felt in the past few days had eased a lot.

Perhaps it was because it was late at night and the northwest wind was a bit cold, Zhu Gaosui was moved by the scene and revealed his true thoughts since the Jingnan Incident.

Zhu Gaoyu was still watching the sparks flying when he heard a long sigh in his ears.

What's going on?
"Little brother, do you think our Jingnan will really succeed?"

To be honest, even though we have won victory after victory since the beginning of the war in Beijing, rebellion has always been a risky business.

How many people have been able to successfully rebel from ancient times to the present?
Huailai is just an appetizer.

Just as Zhu Di said, Song Zhong was unwise and unstrategic, and being able to defeat him was not something to be proud of at all.

Zhu Gaosui thought about it and thought that the most suitable person who could fight his father head-on, soldier by soldier and general by general... was none other than Geng Bingwen, Marquis of Changxing.

Geng Bingwen was a true founding hero. In addition, the imperial court had strong soldiers and abundant food and fodder, and its logistical conditions were many times better than those of the Yan army.

While Zhu Gaosui was worried, he became more determined to bring Ning Wang Zhu Quan and the three Uriankhai guards to his camp.

At the very least, we cannot allow them to become helpers of Emperor Jianwen.

Listening to his third brother's mumbling, Zhu Gaoyu yawned loudly:

"Third brother, do you know why you age so fast?"

Before Zhu Gaosui could recover from his shock, he heard Zhu Gaoyu continue:

"It's because you're afraid of this and worried about this. Thinking so much is useless! At most, you'll have a scar the size of a bowl on your head, and you'll be a brave man again in 18 years!"
