The eldest grandson of Emperor Ming Dynasty!

Chapter 256 Zhu Ying's Chess Piece

"Thank you, Mr. Zhou, without your help these two days, I wouldn't know how much fun this capital city is."

"These are my thoughts, please be sure to serve me. From now on, you will be my forever friend."

On the attic of a certain brothel, Pierma Heima took out a leather bag and handed it to Mr. Zhou opposite.

Mr. Zhou is the businessman he asked for directions on the road before.

"Brother Ma Hei, you don't consider me a friend anymore. Could it be that I, Zhou, made friends with you because I was greedy for your money?"

"If you say that again, I'm going to be angry."

Mr. Zhou said righteously, his face was full of disdain for Pierma Heima's actions.

Even the eyes are all squinting at Pierma Heima.

Pierma Heima was extremely ashamed when he heard the words, and quickly said: "Mr. Zhou, I'm sorry, I apologize to you, this is not a transaction of money, but that I don't have anything on me that can express my heart."

"Only these gems are very popular with us, so I thought of giving them to Mr. Zhou."

"Mr. Zhou, I absolutely have no idea of ​​using money to measure our friendship."

Mr. Zhou frowned when he heard the word gem, and said in a tone of voice: "I should have blamed you wrongly. This is a difference in customs. In our Daming, the most important thing is the friendship between gentlemen."

"The so-called sending a feather from a thousand miles means that the gift is light and the affection is heavy. In our Daming, we never care about the value of the gift, the main thing is to look at the heart."

"But your gems, I really have some uses. Recently, I am preparing to create a batch of jewelry. I need gems of different colors to decorate. This is just right."

Mr. Zhou said nonsense.

At present, he is still single, but this does not affect his knowledge of the value of gems, especially the leather horse Heima in front of him, the grandson of Timur.

The gemstones sent out must be the best and worth a lot.

At first I looked at the small skin, but it was the size of a palm, so I thought it was something worthless.

Seeing this, Pi'erma Heima broke his mouth and laughed, and said, "That's really good. I didn't expect that I would run into such a thing as Mr. Zhou by mistake."

"Please Mr. Zhou again this time, don't refuse."

After Pi'erma Heima finished speaking, he pushed the small leather bag on the table towards Mr. Zhou.

Mr. Zhou frowned, leaned back a little and hid, as if he didn't want to get dirty with this skin.

Just when Pi'erma Heima was a little confused when he saw this, Mr. Zhou nodded slightly, and the attendants who followed stepped forward to put away the small leather bag.

"Sorry, in our Ming Dynasty, especially the scholars in my Ming Dynasty, money is treated like dung. This is a kind of noble integrity, so we generally don't touch money with our own hands."

"Brother Ma Hei, please remember that this is very important in my Ming Dynasty. This is my Central Plains Dynasty, and the etiquette that has been passed down for thousands of years cannot tolerate any profanity."

Mr. Zhou explained slowly.

This special sense of ritual made Pierma Heima immediately awe-inspiring.

In Pi'erma Heima's view, the more powerful the nobleman is, the more things he pays attention to, and a person as particular as Mr. Zhou is indeed a great big shot.

The two days of getting along has already made Pi'erma Heima feel that the Mr. Zhou in front of him is definitely second to none even in the capital of the Ming Dynasty.

The most important thing is that huge network of contacts.

In the past two days, Mr. Zhou took him to various high-end places, those exquisite dishes, and various enjoyments that he had never imagined before.

Let Pierma Heima feel that this is the real life.

Even in the conversation, there are young women next to them, playing the sound of silk and bamboo, Yingying Yanyan, can be heard endlessly.

Music has no borders, and Pierma Heima, who already likes the rhythm, knows it very well.

And he's better off drinking heavily, and he has an excellent capacity for drinking.

But the wine that Mr. Zhou brought him to drink was a fine wine that he had never experienced before, and he was completely intoxicated after just one sip.

Compared with the good wine now, he felt that what he drank in the past was like horse urine.

What surprised Pi'erma Heima the most was that Mr. Zhou went in and out of these places every day, but he never paid the bill, and the people in those places treated him very respectfully.

He always eats and drinks from Mr. Zhou, no matter how thick-skinned he is, he is embarrassed, so once he wanted to pay the bill with gold and silver.

Of course, in private, go to Xiao Er to pay the bill.

However, when the second child heard that Pi'erma Heima wanted to pay, he was frightened and knelt on the ground begging for mercy.

Confused Pierma Heima.

Later, the shopkeeper also came out to apologize and asked if there were some places where the service was not in place.

After this set of combined punches, Pi'erma Heima was stunned.

Later, it was Mr. Zhou who said lightly that there was a misunderstanding, and my friend didn't understand the rules.

That puts things to rest.

Pi'erma Heima asked Mr. Zhou for advice, and Mr. Zhou explained it lightly, but it was a bit thin-skinned.

All of a sudden, Mr. Zhou's image stood up in Pierma Heima's heart.

"Mr. Zhou, we have known each other for two days. At this time today, I don't want to hide anything from you. In fact, I am an envoy from Samarkand, and"

Just when Pierma Heima wanted to play a confession game, Mr. Zhou smiled lightly and interrupted: "And you are the grandson of Timur, Your Highness, I am right."

"Mr. Zhou, you already knew about it." Pi'erma Heima said in surprise.

Mr. Zhou looked calm, and said: "In this Great Ming capital, there is really nothing that can be hidden from me. The difference is that it depends on whether I want to know or not."

These words are very indifferent, but no matter who listens to them, they can feel the arrogance in them.

And Pierma Heima was obviously shocked too.

He never thought that he would be such a person just to stop someone on the streets of the capital.

"Mr. Zhou, I offer you a toast."

"Drink together."

After the wine glass was put down, Pierma Heima asked mysteriously: "I don't know if Mr. Zhou has any familiar friends with the Ming royal family, me."

Mr. Zhou raised his hand lightly, interrupting what Pierma Heima was about to say, and then waved his hand again. The attendants and the woman playing the instrument all bowed and retreated.

Then Mr. Zhou set his sights on the guards behind Pi'erma Heima, the meaning of which was obvious.

Pi'erma Heima said a few words in Turkic. Although the guards were a little hesitant, they still chose to leave.

Only Mr. Zhou and Pierma Heima were left in the room.

At this time, Mr. Zhou said slowly: "I am very straightforward, making friends is entirely based on fate, but since I have made you a friend, if there is anything I can do to help, it is naturally obligatory."

"Let's talk about what Brother Ma Hei wants to know, but the ugly words are up front. There are some things that even I can't talk nonsense about."

Mr. Zhou's words not only expressed his familiarity with the royal family, but also pointed out the strictness of the royal family's rules. At that time, no matter what Pi'er Ma Heima asked, he would be able to advance and retreat freely.

Pi'erma Heima saw that Mr. Zhou's face became serious, and he also knew that it was related to the Ming royal family, and there was a big taboo, so he quickly explained:
"Mr. Zhou, don't misunderstand me. I have always respected the Daming royal family very much. It's just that this is my first time in Daming. I don't know anything about the royal family except His Majesty the Emperor."

"That's why I want to ask Mr. Zhou about the current situation of the Ming imperial family."

Hearing this, Mr. Zhou had a clue in his mind, looked around subconsciously, and then whispered: "Brother Ma Hei, have you heard about Xiaoling?"

"In the past two days, Zhou Bingyan has made some progress."

Zhu Ying, who was reading the laws of the Ming Dynasty, casually asked Ye Yueqing beside him.

Ye Yueqing replied with a smile: "Mr. Zhou is now Pi'erma Heima's best brother. The two of them are already eating and living together. I think Pi'erma Heima should have no doubts about Mr. Zhou."

Zhu Ying nodded and said, "These two guys have cost me a lot of money these past few days, even I have never been so extravagant."

"However, for a big fish like Pi'erma Heima, everything is worth it. With Pi'erma Heima opening the way, I think our trade route under Timur's rule will definitely be opened quickly."

"Zhou Bingyan is pretty good. He's good at speaking and speaking, and he's good at speaking, so he's easy to gain trust. It depends on whether he can maintain this relationship in the future."

As Zhu Ying's thirty-seven disciples, Zhou Bingyan first came into contact with Pi'erma Heima and brought him to Ping'an Tea House, Zhu Ying's order had already been conveyed.

It is to let Zhou Bingyan create a special character image. For people like Pi'erma Heima, it must take a long-term route.

The beginning of all this is so similar to Li Chenggui back then.

It's just that Zhu Ying doesn't have much impression of the Timur Empire, but this does not prevent Zhu Ying from planning in advance.

And Pi'erma Heima is Zhu Ying's chess piece.

Qunying Chamber of Commerce is currently in the capital, so naturally it has long been more than just a Ping An Restaurant.

As early as Zhu Ying took control of Jinyiwei, a large number of industries began to flow into the hands of the Qunying Chamber of Commerce.

With the help of Jin Yiwei, is there any merchant in this capital city who can compete with the Qunying Chamber of Commerce for business.

It's really impossible to do it. It's normal to use some means. These basic operations don't need Zhu Ying to care about them personally.

If these things were not done well, the Qunying Chamber of Commerce would have collapsed long ago.

But for now, the actions of the Qunying Chamber of Commerce in the capital are mainly focused on high-end industries.

Zhu Ying, who has the memory of her previous life, follows a few ideas to guide the market trend, not too simple.

However, Zhu Ying is still very conscientious, and never cheats poor people. The targets he targets are landlords and gentry.

A simple threshold made by the clubhouse can keep out those who are not wealthy enough.

Then it was rumored casually that behind this clubhouse, there was a platform of such and such a big man, and the people who joined immediately flocked to it.

This income is currently Zhu Ying's biggest source of income.

Zhu Yuanzhang was jealous when he saw the precious banknotes entered into the account every day.

Once, out of interest, Zhu Yuanzhang checked Dasun's accounts and found that it felt as if the banknotes had been printed by the Banknote Lifting Department and then flowed directly into Dasun's hands.

Under such circumstances, the main source of funding for the Gunpowder Department is basically Zhu Ying's own pocket.

But now the amount of money has already become a number for Zhu Ying.

"When does Your Highness plan to meet Pierma Heima?" Ye Yueqing couldn't help asking.

According to the usual routine, it is natural to create a coincidence first, meet under unknown identities, then become friends, and finally give a shock in the Daming Palace.

These ways, in Zhu Ying's Qunying Chamber of Commerce, are all leftovers.

Otherwise, even if the Qunying Chamber of Commerce had such a sharp weapon as Snowflake Salt, it would not be possible to grow so fast.

Some small tricks that are not on the table must definitely be indispensable.

Zhu Ying pondered slightly, and said: "Let Zhou Bingyan thoroughly figure out Pierma Heima's character first, and some of his thoughts."

"When the time comes, I'll see if I need to meet him in person."

"Although Timur is powerful, I, Da Ming, don't need to be afraid. We are so far apart, no matter how ambitious Timur is to Daming, now he can only serve as a vassal."

"In a few years, when he grows stronger and wants to do something, I'm afraid it will be too late for him."

Zhu Ying's tone was very confident.

As far as the current Daming is concerned, not to mention the ten years in history, it will be five years later, and it will develop like flying.

In five years, it is enough for crops such as sweet potatoes to completely popularize the entire Ming Dynasty.

And to a certain extent, after solving the food problem of the people of Ming Dynasty, the policy of distributing the food to the mu will naturally stimulate the population to skyrocket.

In other more aspects, especially for the drill of the army, the invention and production of firearms.

Zhu Ying has full confidence.

If Timur doesn't come, it's fine. If he still wants to come, even if he didn't die suddenly on the road, he must let him go away in a disheveled manner, without any benefit.

Furthermore, it may not be certain who will make the first move at that time.

After more than half a month, Zhu Ying's previous arrangements for Yao Guangxiao's side have begun to center on Korea and spread among most forces and nobles.

The threshold of [-] shi of grain does not seem to be much, but at this juncture, if you really want to spend so much grain for investment, it is really beyond the reach of ordinary forces.

For example, [-]% of the nobles on the grasslands and deserts do not have this strength.

They may have very strong subordinates, but the food problem has never been resolved.

Only those real nobles would ignore the life and death of their subordinates and do these speculative transactions.

In the eyes of these great nobles, the reputation of the Qunying Chamber of Commerce guaranteed by Snowflake Salt is still very reliable.

Anyone with this strength basically chooses to invest.

Because they believed that the Qunying Chamber of Commerce could bring them several times, even more than ten times the benefits.
