Daming: Old Zhu, we agreed not to rush!

Chapter 281 The Dust Has Settled, The Unlucky Zhu Liangzu
Zhu Di expressed his doubts.

The appearance of foreign merchant ships couldn't have been predicted by Su Jing in advance.

This is not realistic.

Before Zhu Chen could answer, Zhu Chen smiled and said: "Fourth brother, isn't this very simple? There are no foreign merchant ships, but there are foreign caravans. Anyway, as long as you meet the conditions of buying soap from a long distance, it will be fine. The trick is only aimed at those reselling businessmen, and it has no effect on ordinary people."

Zhu Di was taken aback for a moment, and then said: "But, isn't this just deceiving people?"

Zhu Xi nodded and said: "That's right, it's a lie! What is true is what is false and what is false is what is true. This is what Mr. Su said, doing business is the same as fighting wars."

Although it is said that businessmen are based on honesty, Su Jing taught Zhu Xi that way without any psychological burden.

After all, it is not the consumers who are being deceived.

It is quite normal for businessmen to deceive each other.

Zhu Yan said: "Second brother, Mr. Su really expected all these things on that day?"

The whole thing can be regarded as a relatively sophisticated strategy.

It is powerful, but it cannot be said to be unique after all, unique in the world.

However, if Su Jing had predicted the whole process and context of the whole thing before the matter started, everything would happen step by step according to Su Jing's idea.

This is kind of scary!

"That's right. Mr. Su had already anticipated everything at that time, and arranged solutions for me. That's why I was able to do it so smoothly."

Zhu Xi replied.

There is no need to question the authenticity of this statement, because Zhu Xi himself is the best proof.

If it's someone else, it's really hard to say.

But everyone knows Zhu Xing's level, even this kind of Zhu Xing can accomplish this matter so well, needless to say how detailed Su Jing was when he came up with suggestions.

"Mr. Su is really good at predicting things!"

Zhu Yan said with emotion.

Even though he had already expected Su Jing's ability, he was still shocked when he heard it now.

"Yes, third brother, Mr. Su is too good, I will definitely thank Mr. Su in the future."

Now Zhu Xi has completely built up his confidence, and his whole person is different from before.

Once a person has goals and hopes, the bad mood will naturally dissipate.

"Second brother, what kind of people bought your soap, it must be not ordinary people who can buy so many soaps."

Zhu Di asked Zhu Xi.

Zhu Xi completely fulfilled Su Jing's orders and did it beautifully.

But who are the victims?

Zhu Xi's face changed slightly, and after a moment of silence, he said, "Marquis Yongjia."

Zhu Liangzu, Marquis of Yongjia!

This is the Marquis, and he is considered a respectable figure in Daming.

The expressions of Zhu Fen and Zhu Di both changed, Zhu Fen said: "The Marquis of Yongjia is a marquis, how could he be in this soap business, and he must also know that this is the second brother's business, why is he doing this?"

It was Su Jing's orders and arrangements for Zhu Xi to do business.

It's strange that Zhu Liangzu is doing business.

Because Zhu Yuanzhang once ordered that all princes and officials above the fourth rank inside and outside are not allowed to order their children, family members, and servants to open shops in shops, make money and debts, and go out to sell salt and sell goods.

Zhu Liangzu must be considered a rank four or above.

Of course, Zhu Yuanzhang stipulated this, but it is very difficult to really ban it.

Since ancient times, officials and merchants have been one family, and this matter has always been prevented from being done.

Especially in the Ming Dynasty, the salaries of officials were too low, and it was normal to have some side jobs.

But the Marquis did this, after all, it was too much.

Of course, now that the prince Zhu Xi is the one who started it, if we really want to talk about it, the punishment can't be so justified.

Although Zhu Liangzu started a business, he did not bully ordinary people, buy and sell by force.

This is Hu Weiyong's way of protecting Zhu Liangzu's self-protection, otherwise if something goes wrong, no one will be able to protect him.

"do not know."

Zhu Xi shook his head.

Zhu Di thought for a while and said, "Is it possible that it's because of Mr. Su?"

Because of Su Jing!

As soon as these words came out, Zhu Xi and Zhu Yan frowned and said: "Fourth brother, why do you say that?"

Zhu Di said: "Brother Muying once told me that someone in the court wanted to target Mr. Su. I didn't think much of it at the time. Now that I think about it, is it possible that it is Yongjiahou?"

Because Zhu Di was very interested in the art of war and the military formation, after Mu Ying took office in the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion, he came and went frequently.

When these contacts are frequent, Su Jing will naturally be mentioned.

"How could it be? Why would someone in the court want to target Mr. Su?"

Zhu Xi was puzzled and said that although he had gained a lot of insight, it was impossible for his brain to become smart all at once.

Zhu Yan said with a sullen face, "Maybe it's really possible."

As soon as he finished saying this, he immediately said to Zhu Xi and Zhu Di: "Second brother, fourth brother, don't spread the matter today, especially about Yongjiahou and Mr. Su, I think my father must know everything , we can't ruin the matter of the father."

Zhu Bing's quick thinking is really not a cover, and he quickly understood the seriousness of this matter.

"Understood, third brother."

"Third brother, I understand."

Zhu Yu and Zhu Di also nodded immediately, they were always convinced of Zhu Yu's judgment.

……

the other side.

The pro-army captain has already found out the ins and outs of the soap business, of course, excluding the conspiracy of Hu Weiyong and Zhu Liangzu.

After all, it hadn't happened yet.

In Fengxian Hall, Zhu Yuanzhang carefully read all the investigation reports.

"So that's the case, unexpectedly, it turned out to be such a thing!"

Zhu Yuanzhang sighed slightly.

The investigation of the matter was over, and he was not as annoyed as before.

Zhu Liangzu went into business against his orders, but in the investigation of the pro-military captain, Zhu Liangzu did not rely on his status as Marquis of Yongjia to coerce the people and engage in any illegal business activities.

The purpose of Zhu Yuanzhang's business ban was mainly to protect the people. Zhu Liangzu did not harm the people. Considering his previous achievements, Zhu Yuanzhang did not intend to go into details.

However, the reason why Zhu Yuanzhang really decided not to investigate further was that Zhu Liangzu actually lost a lot of money in this soap business.

He lost money and did not bully the people.

And his son Zhu Xi did a very good job in this matter.

Under the ebb and flow, Zhu Yuanzhang's anger naturally didn't have much.

After reading these investigation materials, Zhu Yuanzhang went out directly from Fengxian Hall and headed for Kunning Palace.

In Kunning Palace, Empress Ma is making cloth shoes.

Now that the weather is getting warmer, I don't need to wear the cotton shoes before, and thin cloth shoes are very necessary.

"Chongba, why are you here? Have you finished approving the memorials?"

Empress Ma looked at Zhu Yuanzhang, quite surprised.

It is quite rare to see Zhu Yuanzhang appearing in his palace during the day.

Zhu Yuanzhang replied: "It's almost there. I'm here. The investigation results of the second child's matter came out. I came here to tell you."

"What's the matter with Ji'er? It must be a good thing to see you so happy."

Empress Ma said with a smile, after all, it was the person next to her pillow, and she was familiar with her.

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded and said, "Sister, you are right. The second brother really did something that surprised me this time."

"Oh, what an accident?"

Empress Ma became interested and stopped all the work in her hands.

Zhu Yuanzhang immediately told Empress Ma the ins and outs of the soap business, from the time when Zhu Xi began to advertise in the People's Daily, to the end when Zhu Xi sold the soap at a low price.

What Zhu Yuanzhang said was cadenced, quite excited.

It was only because of the ability Zhu Xi showed in this incident that Lao Zhu really felt that his son was quite good.

Empress Ma listened carefully, and the expression on her face gradually became surprised.

Although it is different from Zhu Yuanzhang's attitude of suppressing Zhu Yu all the time, Empress Ma still knows her son's ability very well.

If this whole matter is true as what Zhu Yuanzhang said, then Zhu Xi is really quite powerful.

"How about it, the performance of the second child really surprised me. I thought that Su Jing's teachings had only scratched the surface, but I didn't expect to have this ability."

Zhu Yuanzhang said very proudly.

Although he has always had opinions on Su Jing and Lao Zhu, he still approves of Su Jing's ability.

Empress Ma said: "Xi'er did a good job, but I think Mr. Su should have helped Xi'er a lot."

Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand and said: "As far as how much I can help in a day, the most I can do is to tell the second brother about the general situation. It is impossible for Su Jing to know about the following things, especially the foreign merchant ships. At that time, Su Jing was in Bao'an The Yuan Bureau has made firecrackers, and there is no way to give the second brother a trick, this matter, the second brother did it really beautifully!"

At this moment, Lao Zhu is still proud of Zhu Xi, and this matter is indeed very beautiful.

Empress Ma didn't say anything more, she just asked, "Then Yongjiahou, what do you want to do with Chongba?"

Zhu Liangzu went into business in violation of the prohibition and lost a lot of money. Empress Ma felt that he was unlucky.

Neither of them mentioned Zhu Xi's business as a vassal.

No way, who made Zhu Xi the son of Zhu Yuanzhang.

Zhu Yuanzhang said indifferently: "I'll ask someone to give a verbal warning and forget it. Anyway, he has lost a lot, so let's take it as a lesson."

Zhu Liangzu probably didn't expect that this was a blessing in disguise.

"It's possible to do so, but the matter of Marquis Yongjia doesn't seem to be purely for business."

Empress Ma nodded and expressed her thoughts.

Needless to say, Zhu Liangzu's matter was definitely for making money later on, but in front, it was clearly aimed at Zhu Xi.

Of course, Zhu Liangzu didn't do anything out of the ordinary.

"Why else, I'm dissatisfied with Su Jing."

Zhu Yuanzhang snorted coldly.

Empress Ma immediately understood, and said: "Then he suffered a big loss this time, these people are too hostile to Mr. Su, it's just that Mr. Su taught him for a day, it's really too much. "

Empress Ma is also aware of the problems of the Huaixi Party.

But for Su Jing, but for his son Zhu Xi, this Great Ming Dynasty Hall is really getting more and more chaotic.

"That's right, sister, Su Jing is still biting to death for not being an official, we really have nothing to do."

Zhu Yuanzhang said with emotion.

Empress Ma didn't answer the question, but said: "Chongba, I still think that with the ability of Xing'er, this thing is done very beautifully, maybe we can call Xing'er to ask."

"Okay, I'll listen to you, you can call you here to ask, I'll go and arrange things first."

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded.

The time he can stay here is not long, and he mainly deals with government affairs during the day.

……

Yongjiahou Mansion.

The housekeeper who couldn't find anyone came back, and at this moment Zhu Liangzu had completely realized that something was wrong.

Now he can only pray that the foreign caravan's collection of soap is true, otherwise, this batch of soap will really fall into his own hands.

boom!
Zhu Liangzu slapped the table with his palm, making a loud noise.

As a general who has fought all the year round, his hand strength is quite strong.

Just now, Zhu Yuanzhang's oral order arrived.

The content is very simple, that is, Zhu Yuanzhang already knew about his business as a marquis.

Zhu Liangzu, who accepted the oral order, already fully understood that his prayer was useless.

Zhu Yuanzhang is gone, and the matter is considered settled.

"Damn it! It's been placed together!"

Zhu Liangzu cursed angrily, then turned to look at the butler beside him.

"Master Hou, spare your life!"

The butler was taken aback, and knelt down in fear.

In the final analysis, it was he who heard the wrong news before, which led to Zhu Liangzu's misjudgment.

Even if Zhu Liangzu made the decision, Zhu Liangzu would definitely not take the responsibility on himself.

Zhu Liangzu glanced at the butler, and was about to take the whip from the wall. He was so full of anger that he had to find someone to vent out.

"Master Hou, spare your life! Lord Hou, spare your life!"

The butler kept begging for mercy. Although it was just a whip, Zhu Liangzu was tall and powerful, so he might be able to take him away directly.

But he didn't dare to run yet, so he could only beg for mercy here.

Zhu Liangzu didn't care about the housekeeper's begging for mercy at all, the whip in his hand was already being pulled.

"Master Hou, Hu Zuocheng asks to see you!"

At this moment, the porter's summons sounded.

Hu Weiyong is here!
Hearing this, Zhu Liangzu couldn't help putting away his whip, and said: "You are lucky today, you have properly disposed of those soaps, understand!"

I have been warned by Zhu Yuanzhang to do business, but I bought so much soap, I can't really use it for myself.

Get rid of it, even a little back to the book is good.

"Yes, Lord Hou! The subordinates must handle it properly!"

The butler who had escaped the catastrophe didn't dare to make any excuses, and directly agreed.

At this moment, Hu Weiyong also came to the mansion.

"Marquis Yongjia, if something goes wrong, it's not a good thing to vent your anger on your servants."

As soon as they met, Hu Weiyong immediately said to Zhu Liangzu.

This matter has become like this, which shows that Hu Weiyong's vigilance was right before, so Hu Weiyong's current expression, even if it is concealed, is still a little complacent.
