Mixed with salted fish in Hongwudang

Chapter 244 Your Majesty, His Royal Highness Prince Jin is back!

As soon as Lao Zhu left Qianqing Palace, Zhu Gui sneaked in with his two younger brothers.

Seeing that the eldest nephew was fine just now, and then fell down again in a blink of an eye, the three of them didn't know whether to laugh at him or sympathize with him.

"Nephew, what's the reason this time?"

"It's nothing, it's because the old man asked me for money, and I ignored him!"

When Zhu Gui heard that it was such a trivial matter, he immediately said with disdain.

"Hi!"

"I think it's such a big deal. Dare to be affectionate is just a small matter of money!"

"Then I, as an uncle, have to say a few words to you. Your grandpa asked for money to give him. Why bother to suffer this crime?"

Zhu Yunxi sighed when he heard the words.

"Grandpa Huang asks for too much. The first thing he asks is 10,000+ taels of silver. Who can afford it?"

"How many?"

Zhu Gui, Zhu Li, and Zhu Zhi exclaimed in unison when they heard this.

At first they thought it was just a matter of a few thousand taels of silver, but they dared to feel that their eldest nephew had already expanded to such an extent that it would be an income of 10,000+ taels at every turn!
"10,000+ taels of silver, how big is that pile, can it fill the entire hall?"

At any rate, Zhu Gui was also someone who had entered the warehouse of Sanwei Bookstore, so he refuted Zhu Li's uninformed words on the spot.

"It's not that exaggerated, it's just trying to fit the house."

Zhu Zhi leaned in front of Zhu Yunxi in a mean-spirited manner, and said flatteringly.

"Eldest nephew, if there is any way to make money in the future, bring Uncle Fifteen with you, don't keep making a fortune by yourself!"

"But your beating is really worth it. You saved 10,000+ taels of silver in one beating. I would admit it, hahaha!"

Hearing what Zhu Zhi said, Zhu Yunxi immediately struggled to get up from the bed, supported his upper body with two arms, and looked at the few people with burning eyes.

"I have a business now, do you want to join?"

The three of them were all princes who had never been divided into feudal domains. Hearing this, they immediately turned into groundhogs and squatted on Zhu Yunxi's bed in unison.

"Nephew, tell me, what good business is there this time?"

"This business is called Dahanghai. As long as you invest now, I will guarantee you a lot of profits!"

"To tell you the truth, the reason why I insisted on not spending money just now is not because I have to be a miser, but because I invested all my money in this business."

Zhu Zhi's maternal grandfather's family was a businessman, and he has been exposed to many business matters since he was a child.Hearing Zhu Yunxi talking about the great voyage, he immediately thought of what his uncle had told him about the Fujian and Zhejiang maritime merchants.

"Nephew, are you talking about a sea merchant?"

"I heard from my uncle that the business there is so deep that even the imperial court can't get a share of it, so let's stop meddling with it?"

Zhu Gui also dissuaded him when he heard this.

"I've also heard about this. Before the Ming Dynasty, we also had a Shibo Secretary. Later, your grandpa saw that not only did he not receive much money for that thing, but instead attracted many envoys from the vassal state who were fighting the autumn wind, so he ordered Shibo. manage!"

Zhu Yunxi also inquired about what Zhu Zhi and Zhu Gui said from the three masters during this period.

The three of them are all prominent families in the south of the Yangtze River. Although the family has never done a maritime business, they are no strangers to maritime business.The families of the three of them, whether they grow mulberry or tea, their final products are sold overseas through sea merchants.

Otherwise, Daming's market alone would not be able to absorb so many goods.

Therefore, when Zhu Yunxie's three masters heard that he was going to engage in maritime business, they immediately dissuaded him and analyzed the pros and cons with him.

It's just that Zhu Yunxi had his own ideas and was not influenced by them.

"I know what you're talking about, but I've never thought about those trivial things. My grand voyage plan is divided into three steps!"

"The first step is offshore training."

"The second step, ocean escort."

"The third step is to dominate Nanyang."

"The fourth step is to explore the world."

"The fifth step is to dominate the world."

Hearing this, Zhu Xi reminded weakly.

"Nephew, what you said is more than three steps..."

Before Zhu Yunxi could speak, the two brothers Zhu Gui and Zhu Zhi turned back.

"Don't interrupt me!"

"Eldest nephew, you continue to talk, we are all ears!"

Seeing that the three of them had such a strong thirst for knowledge, Zhu Yunxi immediately explained his thoughts with eloquence.To describe overseas as picturesque, gold and opportunities are everywhere.

Being fooled by Zhu Yunxi, the three of them were so excited that they wished to spend all their wealth to follow him.

Fortunately, Zhu Yuanzhang attached great importance to the education of the princes, which kept the three of them somewhat rational.

"Nephew, it's not that Thirteenth Uncle poured cold water on you, so we can't do such a big thing with this little money?"

Zhu Zhi heard the words and hurriedly agreed.

"Yep!"

"I heard from my uncle that the cost of doing business at sea is huge. The cost of building and maintaining ships alone is beyond the reach of ordinary people, even the imperial court."

"With the little money in the three of us's hands, I don't think we can buy a sea boat with all of it!"

"And you have to train sailors and hire people who can drive ships, which is another big expense..."

Zhu Yunxi saw that he had failed to fool him again, so he smashed the jar in a bit of frustration.

"The three of you just give me a happy word, whether to do this or not!"

"Anyway, my ship is almost finished, if you don't make a decision quickly, don't be jealous when I make a lot of money!"

"I'm building a batch of sea-going ships recently. Because they are purchased in bulk, the sea-going ships that originally cost 3 taels of silver now only cost 7000 taels."

"A boat can be 3000 taels cheaper. After passing this village, there is no shop like this!"

When the three of them heard the words, they hid aside and secretly made up their minds. After a while, the three of them discussed and decided to climb back again.

"Nephew, the three of us are poor, and we decided to buy a sea boat with the three of us. You don't think it's too little and don't take us to play?"

Zhu Yunxi smiled happily when he heard the words.

"Where are the three uncles thinking? Is the eldest nephew such a snobbish eye?"

"Although a boat is a little less, it is guaranteed that you can earn tens of thousands of taels of silver in a year."

When the three of them heard this, they became excited again. Although there was still no plank on the ship, they had already begun to fantasize about how to spend the money they earned.

One said that he wanted to build a big palace for himself, one said that he wanted to buy the most beautiful jewelry for his mother and concubine, and the other wanted to compete with Zhu Yunxi for business, saying that he wanted to open a bookstore comparable to Sanwei Bookstore in his fief.

When the three of them were discussing in full swing, no one noticed that a piece of red clothes flashed by the door.

The red corner of the clothes stayed at the door for a while, and when they saw that the four uncles and nephews were chatting happily, they quietly disappeared.

Lao Zhu didn't value the little money, but was worried that his grandson would be deceived by the bad guys because he was young.

King Qin is so old that he can be cheated out of 20 taels of silver, let alone Zhu Yunxi?
Now seeing that Dasun's money has a clear destination, he is no longer angry.

Although it is not safe to rashly join the sea, Daming is going to go to this fate after all.

At his age, even if he has the heart, he doesn't have the strength.

Since this grandson has this idea, let him mess around.

The left and right are just a matter of 10,000+ taels of silver, even if they all sink to the bottom of the sea in the end, it will have no effect on Daming.

The three of them chattered for a while, until Imperial Physician Hao came to remind him that the third emperor's grandson should rest now, and the three of them reluctantly left.

However, when the three of them saw the father in the main hall, they were all as frightened as quails, and cautiously came up to say hello.

Lao Zhu just "hummed" with his nose, then pointed out the door, and the three of them ran away in despair.

After dismissing the three "talkers", Lao Zhu began to concentrate on reviewing the memorial.

When the emperor celebrates his birthday, all the officials in the world are on holiday. Only he, the emperor, needs to work overtime.

Of course, this is also his own fault, self-inflicted, and he enjoys it.

If you really let him relax, he will be at a loss.

Lao Zhu continued to review until dinner time, and then he temporarily stopped what he was doing, walked into the bedroom as if nothing had happened, and pawed Zhu Yunxi who was lying on the bed.

"Can you still get up and eat?"

"cannot!"

"There are bear paws today!"

"Ok?"

After teasing the eldest grandson, Lao Zhu went to the side hall for dinner. Not long after, he saw a certain grandson walking tremblingly, standing in front of the dining table and looking at him with resentment.

"Where's the bear's paw!"

"Didn't you just say that there are bear paws?"

"Where's the bear's paw?"

Old Zhu laughed heartily when he heard the words, while a certain grandson gritted his teeth angrily.

"big liar!"

Although Zhu Yunxi was very angry, thinking about how hard it was for him to get out of bed, wouldn't it be a shame to leave without something to eat?

So he stood at the dining table and ate nonsense. He almost ate up all the dishes that were put in front of Lao Zhu.

Old Zhu knew that Ni Sun did it on purpose. He obviously didn't have many of Ni Sun's favorite dishes in front of him, but he actually ate them all as if rushing to eat them.

But Lao Zhu was not angry at all, he just calmly pushed the empty plate in front of him to the side to make a space, and then he yelled out the door.

"Go to the imperial dining room and ask, if it's ready, serve it up!"

"promise!"

Zhu Yunxi wanted to leave at first, but when he heard this, he was not in a hurry, and wanted to see if there was any delicious food below.

Not long after, someone from the imperial dining room came in with a food box and put it respectfully in front of Lao Zhu.

Lao Zhu looked at Nisun, saw that Nisun was staring at him with two big eyes, and then he opened the lid of the food box with a proud face, revealing the crystal clear steamed bear's paw inside!

Seeing the steamed bear's paw, Zhu Yunxi drooled immediately.

"Grandfather, can you finish eating alone?"

Lao Zhu made a gesture of protecting the food on purpose, covering the food box with both hands.

"If we can't finish eating, we will give it to Erhu!"

"Er Hu has a big belly, let alone a bear paw, even if you give him a bear, he can eat it!"

When Zhu Yunxi heard this, even though he knew that the old man was deliberately angry with him, he was still so angry that he rolled his eyes.

"Humph!"

"I'm full, I don't care about this broken claw!"

"It's nothing to eat at all, and its nutritional value is not much different from that of pig's trotters. It's just collagen and fat..."

After Zhu Yunxi said this, he turned his head and wanted to leave, but after walking two steps, he heard Erhu anxiously roaring from outside the door.

"My lord, His Royal Highness Prince Jin is back!"

Before Zhu Yunxi could react, he heard a loud noise coming from behind him.

He turned around and saw Lao Zhu's chair overturned on the ground, and Lao Zhu himself shot out like an arrow from the string, and even lost a shoe in just a few steps.

Seeing this, Zhu Yunxi sighed secretly, the old man's concentration is too bad, isn't it just that the third uncle has returned, as for him being so excited?

But the bad old man is gone, this bear paw is mine, la la la...

Zhu Yunxi stepped forward, picked up the food box and went back to the dormitory.He didn't need chopsticks or anything else, he just grabbed and ate the bear's paw when it was a little cooler, and within a short while, he wiped out a huge bear's paw.

However, to his surprise, after eating a bear's paw and washing his hands by the way, the old man didn't come over to taunt him...
