The next day, Zhu Yuanzhang conferred the title of prince on a man of a different surname in the court, leaving all the ministers stunned.
When did the emperor become so generous? Wasn’t he always stingy before?
Old Zhu didn't want to argue with these ministers! They were all just a bunch of ministers who were just sitting there doing nothing and were of no use at all.
After returning to the imperial study, he looked at Liu Mang who was playing with little Zhaoren, and Kunxing was secretly looking at Liu Mang with a strange look in his eyes.
Old Zhu looked at Kunxing with a strange look. Kunxing blushed and lowered his head, not daring to look at his father.
"Brother Liu, do you know of any trustworthy military commanders?"
"Hey~ Haven't you already finished with the commanders?"
Liu Mang, who was feeding Zhaoren, stared blankly at Lao Zhu.
Lao Zhu blushed when he heard this, feeling extremely embarrassed. "Brother, just help me think about it."
Liu thought about it again. This year is the fifteenth year of Chongzhen. Hmm, it seems...
"Hey! There seems to be another one."
"Ah! Really? Who is that man?"
Lao Zhu asked excitedly, it’s strange that there are still people who can fight but haven’t been defeated by me.
If Liu Mang knew that he was thinking this way, he might not be able to help but give him a big beating.
"That man's name seems to be... um, Sun Chuanting, and it seems you're still holding him captive! Yes, that's right."
Old Zhu's face became even more embarrassed. It turned out that I asked for it to be hung on the southeast branch.
"Then let him be the chief instructor of the new army?"
Liu Mang looked at Lao Zhu as if he was a fool, then pointed his finger at his nose.
"You ask me?"
"Yeah? What else?" Old Zhu blinked.
Liu hurriedly held his forehead and said, "Old Zhu, you're going too far! If you gave me a few princesses or something, I could still give you some advice. But if you ask me about military matters, I really can't help you."
Old Zhu stroked his beard, looked at Kunxing, and suddenly an idea came to his mind. "This princess! It's not impossible. What do you think of Kunxing, Brother Liu?"
"Eh? What's going on?"
Liu stopped feeding Zhaoren and let him tilt his head back with his mouth open, not knowing when the snacks in his hand would fall.
Kunxing heard it carefully, his face flushed as he secretly glanced at Liu Mang.
"Princess! Didn't you say you wanted me to give you a princess?"
"Really? Weren't we discussing who would be the chief instructor? Why are we talking about the princess now?"
Liu Mang suddenly felt that his brain was not enough.
"Hey~ We can discuss this together! It's settled. I'll betroth Kunxing to you, and I'll be your father-in-law. How about that?" Old Zhu acted on his own with a firm attitude.
Liu Mang touched his chin, ignoring Zhaoren who was still tilting his head back with his mouth open, and pulled his pants, pointing at his mouth.
He looked at Lao Zhu's father-in-law look, and then at Kunxing's shy expression as he secretly looked at him.
Well! It's confirmed, this Lao Zhu not only covets my money, but also covets my body.
Kunxing is a beauty, but she is only fifteen or sixteen years old, a little young.
In the end, Zhu Yuanzhang had no choice but to agree. Sun Chuanting, who had just been released from prison, was appointed as the instructor of the new army. At first, Sun Chuanting was worried about the lack of money and food to recruit soldiers.
Liu Mang showed him what a rich man was. He was stunned when he saw thousands of large boxes of silver ingots piled in front of him, and there was also a granary full of grain for him to withdraw.
"Your Majesty, this is so much silver and grain." Sun Chuanting opened his mouth wide, his face full of astonishment.
"Haha, just go ahead and recruit soldiers! As long as they are qualified, they will be given 10 taels of silver as a resettlement allowance." It was also the first time that Old Zhu saw so much silver.
"Just tell me what you need, Old Sun. I'll give you 100,000 soldiers. Go ahead and recruit them. Money, food, and weapons won't be a problem."
It turns out that Prince Liu Mang is a financial sponsor. No wonder the emperor is so tolerant of him.
"I obey your command."
Sun Chuanting started his recruitment campaign with full confidence.
"Oh, Lao Zhu, I have to go back. The three days are up. You need to cool down for three days before coming back. If you have anything to say, let's talk in the circle."
"Ah! So soon? I wanted to treat you to a meal." Old Zhu looked regretful.
Liu spread his hands helplessly, "I'll go back and say hello to those maids first, you go back and talk to Zhaoren and Kunxing."
"Well, okay, let's talk about it in the circle."
After separating from Lao Zhu, Liu Mang returned to the palace. As soon as he reached the backyard door, he heard bursts of laughter coming from the garden pavilion.
Liu hurried over and saw the three women fiddling with a bunch of things that did not belong to this era.
Things like mirrors and cosmetics are all branded products from Wang Fugui.
"Ahem, I like them all!"
"Ah! Your Majesty, you scared us."
The three girls were startled by the sound and complained coquettishly with pouts.
"That's right, he walks as silently as a ghost." Liu Rushi said with a look of pride and sarcasm.
Hey, you little bitch, I'm trying to pull you out of this fire pit with good intentions, but you still keep arguing with me, Liu Mang thought to himself.
"I came here to say goodbye to you." Liu Mang said lightly.
Upon hearing this, the three women were stunned and the things in their hands fell from their hands without realizing it. They looked at Liu Mang with pale faces, and tears flowed uncontrollably from their eyes.
As expected, it is impossible for women like me who come from the secular world to be happy.
Liu Rushi fought back her tears, looked at Liu Mang stubbornly and asked, "Tell me, who are you sending us to this time?"
Liu Mang was confused by the three people's sudden sadness.
"What are you giving it to? What's going on?"
"Don't you want us anymore? Are you going to give us to someone else?"
"Wow, you are going to say goodbye to us. It's like you are giving us away." Dong Xiaowan cried out loudly, her heart was broken.
