Ming Dynasty: The Jingnan Rebellion has just been successful, and Zhu Yuanzhang has been resurrected

Chapter 28 White Wolf with Empty Gloves

Azhashili and Haisanandaxi also looked at Zhu Di, with curiosity showing on their faces.

What is something better than money?
They are very interested!
"Three leaders, I have a question for you. Do you want to have a full meal or do you want to have a full meal every time?" Zhu Di said.

"A full meal? A full meal every time?"

Tuoerhuocha, Azhashili and Haisanandaxi were stunned for a moment, and then frowned at the same time. They felt that Zhu Di seemed to be treating them as fools.

Is this kind of problem something that needs to be considered?
Even a three-year-old knows that every meal must be full!

Tuo Er Huocha said: "Your Majesty."

"Answer me!" Zhu Di interrupted Tuo'er Huocha.

"Hmph!" Azhashili and Haisanandaxi snorted coldly, their faces darkening. If it weren't for Toerhuocha's persuasion, they would not have been willing to cooperate with Zhu Di.

They didn't expect that when they came, Zhu Di would treat them like fools.

Tuoerhuocha was silent for a moment, then said, "If we had a choice, we would of course want to have a full meal every day. However, I would like to ask, Your Highness, what exactly do you mean? Don't you want to cooperate? If not, we will leave immediately."

Zhu Di waved his hand and said, "Don't misunderstand me. I'm not that bored. I summoned you to Beiping just to have some fun. I asked you if you only want to eat once or every meal because I want to cooperate with you."

Upon hearing this, Tuoerhuocha, Azhashili and Haisanandaxi all showed a look of confusion on their faces.

"My three leaders, we have an old saying in the Central Plains, it is better to teach a man to fish than to give him a fish. You can understand it as, it is better to teach you how to make money than to give you money. Giving you money is a full meal, while teaching you how to make money is a full meal every day." Zhu Di explained.

"Your Highness, please tell me, how are you going to teach us how to make money?" Azhashiri couldn't help but ask.

Among the three guards of Doyan, Taining Guard is the strongest, and Taining Guard is under the command of Azhashili.

Tuoerhuocha and Haisanandaxi also looked at Zhu Di.

Zhu Di said, "It's very simple. You will join me in raising an army. Please note that you are not helping me, but yourselves. If I succeed, I will not only grant you autonomy in the area around Doyan Mountain, but I will also issue you land cards to legalize your status. At the same time, the Ming Dynasty will open its markets to you, and the court will assist you in your development."

After saying this, he closed his mouth and looked calm.

"This helps us ourselves?"

Tuoerhuocha, Azhashili and Haisanandaxi frowned at the same time.

They originally planned to be mercenaries, but after hearing what Zhu Di said, they became Zhu Di's allies.

"Your Highness, can we discuss this?" Tuo'er Huocha asked.

"Okay, the three leaders can chat slowly. I will be waiting outside." Zhu Di nodded, stood up and walked out of the study.

"Squeak!" Zhu Di opened the door, walked out, and then closed the door again.

Yao Guangxiao walked over and asked, "Your Highness, how are the talks going? Have the three Duoyan guards agreed to help? How much money do they want?"

"They are discussing it inside. Besides, I don't intend to pay any money, not a penny." Zhu Di said.

"Ah? No money? You're making the three guards of Doyan work for nothing?" Yao Guangxiao was stunned. He opened his mouth and said with a wry smile, "Your Highness." Zhu Di waved his hand, interrupting Yao Guangxiao and said, "Don't worry, Master. I'm not a pedantic person. If it really doesn't work out, I'll pay in the end."

Upon hearing this, Yao Guangxiao breathed a sigh of relief. With a strange look in his eyes, he asked curiously, "Your Highness, based on what you just said, can I understand that you are not paying the three guards of Duoyan now, and yet they are still negotiating?"

"Yes, that's what I mean!" Zhu Di nodded.

Yao Guangxiao opened his mouth wide, his face filled with disbelief. He asked, "How did you trick this prince? Ahem. How did you talk to the three guards of Doyan? Are they really that 'innocent'?"

"Haha, I told them a story, um. It's better to teach a man to fish than to give him a fish." Zhu Di smiled and said aloud.

"The story of "It is better to teach a man to fish than to give him a fish?" Yao Guangxiao looked puzzled.

Seeing that Zhu Di had no intention of elaborating, he tactfully shut his mouth. However, he couldn't help but think in his mind: "It's better to teach a man to fish than to give him a fish. Is this story really worth real money?"

In the room!
After Zhu Di left, Tuoerhuocha, Azhashili and Haisanandaxi began to talk.

"This King of Yan, he wants to get something for nothing!" Azhashiri spoke first.

Tuo'er Huocha shook his head and said, "That's not the case. If we can really help the King of Yan win, then the benefits we will gain afterwards will be absolutely immeasurable."

"That's right. If Prince Yan can really become the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, a mere amount of money is not as good as a piece of land for stable development." Haisanandaxi nodded, agreeing with Tuoerhuocha's words.

Azhashili frowned and said, "But what if the Prince of Yan fails? Wouldn't we suffer heavy losses? Not only would we offend the Prince of Ning, but we would also be weakened and perhaps even provoke Zhu Yunwen's revenge."

Tuoerhuocha and Haisanandaxi remained silent.

"I think we should just follow what we originally agreed upon and take the money directly. That way, no matter whether the King of Yan succeeds or fails in the end, we won't suffer any loss." Azhashiri said.

Tuoerhuo glanced at Haisanandaxi and said, "I still think we should take a gamble. If we win, we'll have a completely stable territory. If we lose, we can just go back to the grassland. After all, our men are all cavalry, so the Ming Dynasty shouldn't be able to stop us if we escape."

"I agree with this plan. Now that the opportunity is in front of us, we should give it a try. Otherwise, once we lose this chance, we may never have it again." Hai Sanan said Xi.

Then, the two of them looked at Azhashiri together.

Azhashili's expression was uncertain for a while, and finally he gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, since you all think so, let's take a gamble, but if we do this, we will have to fight to the death."

Tuoerhuocha and Haisanandaxi looked solemn and nodded.

"Squeak!"

The door opens.

Tuoerhuocha smiled and bowed respectfully to Zhu Di, saying, "Your Highness, we have already discussed it. Please come in and discuss it in detail."

"it is good!"

Zhu Di took a deep breath, patted Yao Guangxiao on the shoulder with a smile, and walked into the study.

Yao Guangxiao looked at Zhu Di's back, shocked. "They actually agreed to this free work. Are they crazy?"
