My father Zhu Gaoxu

Chapter 431 Olive Branch

In a private house in Tianjin Port, Zhu Zhanqi frowned and looked sad.

"Zhan Qi, if it really doesn't work, how about we ask your aunt to help us order a batch of goods?"

At this time, a young man sitting next to him hesitated for a while, and finally suggested.

I saw this young man with a round face, a slightly plump figure, and looked friendly. His name was Zhang Chang, he was Zhang Fu's nephew, Zhang Zhong's cousin, and one of Zhu Zhanqi's partners.

"No, I told my aunt when I came out that I have to rely on my own ability to build a fleet. If I encounter difficulties and ask my aunt now, it would be embarrassing."

Zhu Zhanqi immediately shook his head and refused.

"But now there is a fleet, but the goods we ordered were intercepted by Ding Guogong's bastards. This kind of thing depends on our ability, and there is no way to solve it. We can only ask our family for help!"

Zhang Chang said helplessly.

Originally, the group of them partnered to form a fleet, and it went smoothly at the beginning. Although they didn't plan to rely on their families, but with their background, it would be very convenient for them to do anything, so the fleet was formed smoothly.

But with the fleet, there was a problem with the goods. The cloth that had been ordered with others was cut off by Duke Ding Xu Jingchang. Although they were annoyed, there was nothing they could do.

"That's right, Xu Jingchang's bastards are too careless in their work, and they don't give us any face at all. They are really deceiving!"

At this time, a tall and thin young man on the right also slapped the table angrily and said angrily.

This young man's name is Chen Ning, and he is the grandson of Taining Marquis Chen Gui, but he is neither the eldest grandson nor a direct descendant. Like Zhu Zhanqi, he is destined not to inherit the title of his family.

"The shopping mall is like a battlefield. With so many people going to sea now, the goods are already in high demand. It's our fault for being careless. I didn't expect Xu Jingchang and his gang to snatch them up."

Zhu Zhanqi sighed.

In fact, Xu Jingchang was just bullying others, knowing that Zhu Zhanqi and his group were not valued by his family, so he took away the goods they ordered without any scruples.

"Zhan Qi, if you are embarrassed to find your aunt, why not go to Brother Ni, your elder brother takes good care of you, as long as he speaks, Xu Jingchang and his group will definitely have to show face!"

Zhang Chang suddenly suggested again.

"Big brother..."

Hearing this, Zhu Zhanqi showed a look of embarrassment, no matter whether it was Han Wangfei or Zhu Zhanhe, he didn't want to trouble them.

"Brother Zhang, don't embarrass Zhanqi. The few of us left the capital because we didn't want to live under the protection of our family. Now that we encounter some difficulties, we have to rely on our own ability to solve them!"

At this moment, Chen Ning suddenly interrupted Zhang Changdao.

"That's right, we have to rely on our own ability, isn't it just that we encounter a little difficulty, at worst, let's find the source of goods again!"

At this moment, Zhu Zhanqi slapped the table and said, he was awakened by Chen Ning's words, and he finally cheered up.

Seeing that Zhu Zhanqi and Chen Ning both said that, although Zhang Chang was still a little unwilling, he couldn't say anything, so he nodded silently.

But at this moment, a servant suddenly rushed to report: "My lord, there are people outside asking to see you."

"Who?"

Zhu Zhanqi frowned, he thought it was Xu Jingchang and the others who came again.

"The other party said it was your eldest brother."

The servant immediately reported that he was Zhu Zhanqi's new servant after he came to Tianjin, so he didn't know Zhu Zhanqi.

"Brother is here!"

Zhu Zhanqi's eyes lit up when he heard the words, and Chen Ning and Zhang Chang beside him also stood up excitedly, and then the three of them rushed outside to greet him.

Zhu Zhanhe was standing outside the door with a smile at this time. After he finished handling the affairs in the capital, Zhu Di's appointment to him was also down, so he rushed to Shandong to handle immigration matters with full authority.

Because he was worried about Zhu Zhanqi, Zhu Zhanhe took a small turn on the road and passed by Tianjin to visit him.

"Big brother!"

When Zhu Zhanqi saw Zhu Zhanhe outside the door, he stepped forward to salute very excitedly, and then introduced Chen Ning and Zhang Chang beside him.

"Haha, the three of you are ambitious, and you actually want to start a career on your own. You are really scary young people!"

Zhu Zhanhe laughed and praised, this made the three of Zhu Zhanqi a little embarrassed, and immediately invited him into the house to talk.

Coming to the living room, Zhu Zhanhe sat at the main seat, and Zhu Zhanqi also asked someone to serve tea, and then asked: "Brother, didn't you just return to the capital, why did you come to Tianjin again?"

"I'm just passing by. I'm going to Shandong this time. Natural disasters and man-made disasters continue there, and there are refugees everywhere. Therefore, the emperor's grandfather decreed that the refugees should be moved to Tianzhu. This will not only solve the problem of refugees, but also increase the number of Han people in Tianzhu. quantity."

Zhu Zhanhe explained with a smile.

"Immigrated to Tianzhu, Grandpa Huang is really generous!"

Zhu Zhanqi was also shocked when he heard the words. He was also building a fleet. Of course he knew how difficult it was to move the people to Tianzhu.

"It's not as big as you think. The scale of this matter will not be too large at the beginning, and it will only migrate slowly. It is estimated that it will take several years."

Immigration is destined to be a time-consuming and labor-intensive task. The large-scale immigration initiated by Zhu Yuanzhang even continued until Zhu Di was in power. long-term preparations.

"My lord, if you want to immigrate overseas, you must need a lot of ships, right?"

At this time, Chen Ning suddenly asked Zhu Zhanhe with bright eyes.

"Of course it is needed, and the official ships of the imperial court are limited, so we need to recruit some ships from the people. Why, are you interested?"

Zhu Zhanhe asked with a smile.

"Of course I'm interested. Our goods have been robbed, and I'm worried about what to bring overseas..."

In the middle of Chen Ning's words, he suddenly found Zhu Zhanqi winking at him, which made him wake up immediately, knowing that he had said something wrong.

"Your goods were robbed? Who is so bold?"

Zhu Zhanhe frowned and asked.

"It's not a robbery, it's the goods we ordered, but they were intercepted by Ding Guogong and the others. It's also because we are inexperienced. We didn't make a deal with the merchant before, so Ding Guogong took advantage of the loophole."

Zhang Chang opened his mouth to explain at this time, facing Zhu Zhanhe, he did not dare to hide anything.

"Heh, Xu Jingchang and his group really don't pay attention to what they do. They even want to grab your goods!"

Zhu Zhanhe shook his head slightly, and then asked Zhu Zhanqi.

"Do you want me to come forward and help you get the goods back?"

"You don't need to worry about such a small matter, brother, I will take it as a fall and gain a wisdom."

Zhu Zhanqi waved his hands and said, he knew that Zhu Zhanhe was very busy, so there was really no need to worry about such a small matter of his own.

"Okay, since you can't find the goods, why don't you take the fleet to Shandong and help me with the immigration, I'll pay you a lot!"

Zhu Zhanhe didn't insist either, and then offered an olive branch to Zhu Zhanqi and the others.
