Five years of garrison on the border, shocked Zhu Yuanzhang who went south to inspect

Chapter 25 Zhu Yuanzhang does business

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded and said, "How many taels does one thing cost?"

"Tea, inkstone, porcelain, silk, wine..." Zhu Tuo calculated it and said excitedly: "No more, no more. I'll help you get one. Just think of it as 3000 taels of silver."

"Okay." Zhu Yuanzhang agreed, and said, "Lingnan's business is booming now, why don't you take us there and open our eyes."

"This, this is a business secret and cannot be known to others." Zhu Tuo waved his hand.

Lu Qing's face was ugly. He knew this kind of thing very well.

There is a blacksmith company in Lingnan.

These teas are common wild teas in Lingnan, but the king has improved them and added more seasonings.

This silk has been woven and feels much better.

The wine is brewed in a very common way.

Alas, one was less than 20 taels, so their king just bought it.

His heart is also cruel enough.

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Zhu Tuo's determination and said no more. He picked up a glass of wine and said, "Okay, I will send this batch of goods to the capital for sale. If the sales are good, I will go to Lingnan to enter the Qi W Two silver coins.

"No problem, no problem." Zhu Tuo said happily.

Lu Xiaofeng smiled and warned again: "But when you get to the capital, you can't say it is a Lingnan specialty."

Zhu Yuanzhang frowned and said, "Why?"

Zhu Tuo said lightly: "We cannot let the court know about the situation in Lingnan, otherwise we will have to raise taxes. The people in Lingnan are not well fed and clothed.

Zhu Yuanzhang's face turned green. If the Lingnan people were suffering, then the rest of the people would definitely suffer.

"Okay, I agree."

Seeing that everyone agreed, Zhu Tuo flattered him and said loudly: "From today on, everyone is my good brother. When you arrive in Lingnan, tell your name. I want to see who else is not wise!"

"Although I, Zhu Tuo, belong to my father, this Lingnan area is my territory!"

"Oh, if you have a genius in the capital, you can go to Lingnan, as long as 100 taels."

Zhu Yuanzhang's expression darkened again.

Contempt of the court and human trafficking were punishable by death in the capital.

That night, the three of them returned to the restaurant.

"Xu Aiqing, what do you think of Zhu Tuo?" Zhu Yuanzhang said on the table.

Xu Da didn't know how to evaluate him, so he spoke after a long while: "King Su is thoughtful and intelligent. Although he is a bit naughty, Lingnan is getting better and better under his rule."

"Yes." Zhu Yuanzhang felt a headache when he thought of Zhu Tuo.

He is said to be a bastard but also a talent.He says he's kind, but he's actually an asshole.

"I remember that this King Su was not yet seventeen."

"Yes."

"If it is an ordinary family, it is time to get married." Xu Da said: "Your Majesty, Prince Su came to Lingnan 13 years ago without anyone to accompany him, so he has an unruly personality."

"How about I go to the capital to find him a bride and make him be more honest."

"That's a good idea."

During their trip to Lingnan, Zhu Yuanzhang and the three of them rushed to the capital early the next morning.

The whole process lasted only more than 20 days and did not attract anyone's attention.

Xu Da followed Zhu Tuo's relief order and hurried to Haozhou. When he arrived in Haozhou, people were already panicking.

Various disaster relief plans are being formulated and carried out in accordance with the plans everywhere.

This is indeed the case. If disaster relief measures are in place, these people will no longer cause trouble.

Because of the rise in grain prices, grain vendors in other places also took notice and headed to Haozhou one after another, hoping to make a fortune in Haozhou.Unexpectedly, the price of food, which was already rising, started to fall because of the excessive quantity.

Some thoughtful grain sellers were afraid that the grain in their hands would be robbed, so they sold it at low prices.

Once one grain store lowers its price, other grain merchants have to follow suit.

Some grain vendors want to transport grain to other places.

At this time, a decree came from Haozhou that all grain and grass must pay a five-cent tax. Anyone who violates it will have all their property confiscated.

At this time, all the grain sellers were dumbfounded and had no choice but to throw it to Haozhou.

A great deal of grain was sold in large quantities, and as a result, all the food was fried to the ground.

The victims no longer have to worry about famine.

"Good people, good people, good people."

Hearing such praise, the grain sellers almost cried, and even cursed in their hearts.

Originally planned to make some money by taking advantage of this disaster, but I didn't expect to lose all of it.

At this time, under the protest of civil and military officials, Zhu Yuanzhang came to Haozhou in person, and announced loudly in front of the civil nobles: "Haozhou has floods and droughts, floods and droughts. I swear that I will never let a single family go hungry. Also, this migratory locust is very edible, I don't believe I can swallow them all."

Both civilians and officials were stunned.

This plague was originally a divine punishment, but the current emperor is so unfair.

Zhu Yuanzhang looked solemn, and in front of the ministers and people, he grabbed a golden moth that had been blown up and swallowed it in his belly.

Very delicious and fragrant
Zhu Yuanzhang swallowed a few more locusts, and then shouted: "The world is ruthless, and all living things are like grass. I ate a plague today. If there is a divine punishment, I am willing to bear it and don't let my people suffer."

"I think if the court and the people work together, we will be able to survive this catastrophe!"

Everyone's eyes filled with tears when they heard this, and they all shouted: "Your Majesty is wise!"

Zhu Yuanzhang heard the tide of shouts and sighed deeply. The people's calls were indeed like this.

At this moment, the wisest person was Emperor Hongwu.

"That's a good idea." Zhu Yuanzhang walked into the palace and couldn't help sighing.

"King Su is a smart man."

"Oh, Xu Aiqing, you have to deal with the items you bought in Lingnan first, and then find someone to rent a shop in the capital. According to Zhu Tuo, give me all the rare treasures for sale.
"

“It’s up to you to handle this matter.

Since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang has never been in business again, because this is his first time.

"What's the price of these items?" Xu Da said.

"Three times." Zhu Yuanzhang sighed and continued: "However, you have to make its packaging bag more exquisite, just like the tea leaves, and put it in an exquisite jar, so that it will appear to be a good deal."

Xu Da was shocked. At [-]% of the price, this emperor was really courageous.

His heart is even higher than his Zhu Tuo.

This is the real king.

Xu Da's work efficiency was very high. It only took half a day to find a suitable place and rearrange the store.

The geographical environment here is very good and it is the richest place in Beijing.

The brand is very conspicuous and all the cumbersome procedures are eliminated.

Early the next morning, Zhu Yuanzhang was wearing a crown, sitting upright on the golden throne, looking down at the ministers, handling government affairs one by one.

After finishing the government affairs, I went to the morning court.

Zhu Yuanzhang held a cup of tea on the table and took a sip. He looked very comfortable and said with a smile: "Xu Aiqing, you poured me a cup of good tea. You really meant it well."

Xu Da said in a hurry: "Your Highness, this tea is extremely rare. It tastes sweet and has a long aroma. Taking it for a long time can make people energetic and vigorous."
