Chapter 6

Zhu Yuanzhang acted decisively. After deciding to establish the royal trading house, he summoned his consort Ouyang Lun the next day and roughly explained to him the company's plans for tea and horse affairs.

Ouyang Lun was extremely excited and vowed to live up to the emperor's orders and fully cooperate with His Royal Highness in running the royal business.

After he returned home, he couldn't wait to tell Princess Anqing about the incident, saying words of gratitude incoherently.

However, Princess Anqing smiled and said nothing, because Prince Zhu Biao had been waiting in the mansion with Zhu Gaoxu, Zhu Yunwen and Zhu Yunxi for a long time.

in the living room.

After the two parties met, Ouyang Lun, still blushing, bowed his hands to Zhu Biao and thanked him.

"To be honest, it was Gao Xu who initiated the idea of ​​the Royal Commercial Bank. In other words, the person the consort really wants to thank is Gao Xu."

Zhu Biao told the truth generously.

At this time, Zhu Gaoxu, who was sitting aside, quickly stood up and saluted Zhu Biao.

"The prince's uncle is serious. Wherever my nephew has merit, it is because of his wise grandfather!"

Zhu Biao nodded, very satisfied with Zhu Gaoxu's performance.

Since Ouyang Lun married Princess Anqing, the two of them have been very affectionate, and they do not play their own roles as unofficial histories say.

Princess Anqing was not bald. She was very virtuous and virtuous, and won Ouyang Lun's heart.

Princess Anqing is one of Zhu Yuanzhang's most beloved daughters, and she is the direct descendant of Empress Ma.

After having a child, she has become much more mature and stable. If she hadn't seen that her husband had become depressed in recent years, she would not have gone to the palace to ask for Zhu Biao regardless of her status as a legitimate princess.

Ouyang Lun was born as a Jinshi, so he naturally had real talents and learning, otherwise he would not have been recruited by Zhu Yuanzhang as his consort.

Over the years of dealing with the emperor's relatives, he has long since become a human being. When he heard Zhu Biao's explanation, regardless of his seniority, he stood up and bowed deeply to Zhu Gaoxu to the ground.

With Zhu Biao and Princess Anqing present, how could Zhu Gaoxu dare to support him? He hurriedly helped Ouyang Lun up and waved his hands repeatedly.

"My uncle must not do this. It is really embarrassing for my nephew."

Then, he looked at the smiling Princess Anqing and shouted urgently: "Aunt, please hold my uncle quickly."

Zhu Biao and Princess Anqing laughed at the same time and watched Ouyang Lun finish his salute.

Seeing Zhu Gaoxu sitting back with a blushing face, Zhu Biao started to say some polite words, and then brought the topic to the Royal Commercial Bank.

"Gao Xu, you are the first to discuss the idea of ​​the trading company. It's up to you to speak." Zhu Biao opened his mouth and gave instructions.

Before coming, Zhu Biao specifically discussed the structure of the Royal Commercial Bank with Zhu Gaoxu.

Zhu Gaoxu did not dare to be vague at the moment and introduced the operating procedures of the commercial bank to Ouyang Lun. The key parts, such as how to sign a subscription contract and how to issue rewards, were explained in detail on the spot.

Princess Anqing was born in the royal family, so she naturally knew that people from the royal family should not be underestimated.

When she learned that young Zhu Gaoxu was actually the one who proposed the idea of ​​the Royal Commercial Bank, she was surprised, but not too surprised. After all, it was reasonable for a royal child to be precocious.

However, when Zhu Gaoxu put the entire idea into plain words, she was as shocked as her husband.

Especially regarding the design of "subscribing the quantity of tea sold", this trick directly allowed the Royal Commercial Bank to earn a large amount of money at the beginning of its establishment.

Near noon, someone from the palace invited Prince Zhu Biao away.

Before Zhu Biao left, he specifically ordered Zhu Yunqi and Zhu Yunxi to stay in the Prince Consort's Mansion and work with Zhu Gaoxu to assist Ouyang Lun in improving the various regulations and systems of the Royal Commercial House, and the two immediately agreed.

After everyone had lunch, Zhu Yunxi wanted to visit the back garden of the Prince Consort's Mansion. Of course Princess Anqing couldn't refuse, and Zhu Yunwen had to accompany her. In the end, Princess Anqing took her two nephews to the garden.

Ouyang Lun didn't want to be a spoiler, so he naturally invited Zhu Gaoxu to visit the garden together.

The two chatted while walking, and Zhu Gaoxu took the trouble to answer Ouyang Lun's various questions. Ouyang Lun absorbed the excellent ideas from the time travellers like a sponge, and at the same time he became more and more shocked.

After passing through a bamboo forest, the two came to a pavilion.At this time, Zhu Yunwen was accompanying Zhu Yunxi to scatter food and feed the fish on the arch bridge next to the pavilion.

When he saw Zhu Gaoxu appearing in his sight, he was in a good mood. He pulled Zhu Yunxi and moved towards the pavilion, just in time to hear the conversation between Zhu Gaoxu and Ouyang Lun.

Zhu Gaoxu was worried that he had no chance to hint to Zhu Yunwen. Seeing that God had given him an opportunity, how could he miss it?

"Ugh--!"

With a deep sigh, Zhu Gaoxu looked sad.

"Gao Xu is now highly appreciated by His Highness the Prince. It is the time when the young man is proud. Why is he sighing?" Ouyang Lun asked puzzledly.

"Uncle, I don't know. The prince's eldest uncle has been suffering from night cough. The emperor is very worried about it. The eldest uncle is the crown prince of a country, so my nephew is also worried!"

Zhu Gaoxu said with a bitter face.

"It's a shame that in this vast world, no one can come up with a good prescription to help my uncle cure this disease!"

Zhu Biao fell ill not long ago, and Princess Anqing even made a special trip to visit him.

Although Zhu Biao did not suffer from a serious illness, he just coughed at night, but he was unable to recover intermittently.

This matter is not a secret, most of the royal relatives in the capital know about it.

However, the prince is no better than others, and it is a grave sin to make irresponsible remarks about the prince's condition. However, Zhu Gaoxu is a son of the royal family. He only expressed concern by saying this, not cursing the prince. Moreover, his implicit intention was to help the prince find a cure.

"Gao Xu wants to seek a good doctor for His Royal Highness?" Ouyang Lun asked tentatively.

Zhu Gaoxu nodded and said: "My uncle is right, my nephew has this intention."

His face darkened and he said sadly: "It's a pity that the emperor doesn't allow us, the sons of feudal lords, to leave the capital at will. Moreover, my nephew is only 13 years old now. He is just a boy when he goes outside. Where can he go to seek medical treatment?"

Ouyang Lun intended to make friends with Zhu Gaoxu, not to mention that he was a utilitarian person. Now he was trying to save others by himself, thinking he had heard Zhu Gaoxu's hidden message - curing the prince's disease and claiming credit from the emperor.

"I heard that there are masters who live in seclusion on every famous mountain in the world, and among them there are doctors who are good at treating coughs." Ouyang Lun said.

Zhu Gaoxu sighed: "If the miracle doctor can cure my uncle's night cough, my nephew will be willing to do it even if his life is shortened by ten years."

Ouyang Lun hurriedly advised: "Don't be anxious, Gao Xu. The so-called miracle doctors are just what I heard from hearsay. It's hard to tell whether they are true or not. There are many miracle doctors spread among the people, and there are often many people who are just trying to make up the numbers. The good nephew should be cautious and never take risks. "

"If it's true or not, we'll find out if we find a few people to be healed by the gods. Let's reveal our identities. If we don't believe that miracle doctor, he still dares to lie."

Zhu Gaoxu put on a brave face.

Ouyang Lun advised again: "My nephew, please don't act rashly."

On the other side, Zhu Yunwen heard the conversation between Zhu Gaoxu and Ouyang Lun clearly.

As long as Zhu Yunwen starts looking for a "folk miracle doctor", the future situation may be different.

Of course, Zhu Gaoxu guessed that his conversation with Ouyang Lun might reach Zhu Yuanzhang's ears, so what he just said was actually a lie.

If he wanted to kill or maim Zhu Yunwen by causing an accident such as falling into the water, falling down and other emergencies, it would be too difficult for Zhu Gaoxu to do this, and the risk of exposure would be extremely high.

It was the early Ming Dynasty, and the Imperial Palace of the Ming Dynasty was full of royal guards loyal to Zhu Yuanzhang. Every move of Zhu Gaoxu and others was under surveillance.

Of course, the name is to protect the prince and grandson in case something unexpected happens.

If a prince or grandson is killed or injured, those who fail to protect him will definitely be executed by Zhu Yuanzhang. Therefore, no one dares to take the protection of Zhu Yunwen, Zhu Gaoxu and others lightly.

However, if conspiracy doesn't work, then come to conspiracy.

Everyone knows that there are often miraculous doctors among the people who are good at treating various difficult and complicated diseases. Zhu Yunwen is eager to save his father, so he is very likely to take the risk.

Therefore, Zhu Gaoxu is full of expectations for Zhu Yunwen's future choices.
