Daming: My boss Zhu Yuanzhang

Chapter 33 A Fascinating Place

"Xu Duo recruited Song Shen because he knew he was Song Lian's grandson. The prince like you will definitely plead for his teacher. Can't you see that he took advantage of this to do so? And this Zhang Zongyi, he also knows this It was just a little while ago that I brought you with me to find us!"

As soon as Zhang Zongyi left, Zhu Yuanzhang angrily reprimanded Zhu Biao, but Zhu Biao did not show weakness.

"Of course I can see it, but this is also in line with my original intention. I am willing to be used by them even if they take advantage of me!"

"You bastard! How can a king be influenced by his ministers?"

Zhu Yuanzhang was furious!
"Then does the father want his son and minister to see his teacher in trouble and ignore it? The father often teaches his son and minister to govern the country with benevolence, so why do he want to trap his son and minister in an unkind place?"

"We have our own arrangements for Song Lian's affairs. What we are talking to you about are these corrupt officials who have violated the law!"

"We have told you to be kind to the people, not to these corrupt people! If you are kind to them, you are letting them be cruel to the people. Even if they are not corrupt officials, there are also lazy officials who are sneaky and slippery. If you are merciful to them, then you will only let them live a lazy life, which will also harm the people!"

When Zhu Yuanzhang said that he was cheating and cheating, he pointed to Li Wei on the side, and Li Wei suddenly became unhappy.

"Your Majesty, could you please stop pointing at me when you talk about cheating?"

Zhu Yuanzhang glared at him: "We are referring to you, are we referring to you wrong?"

Li Wei rolled his eyes in anger.

"Father, that's all for the others, but Song Lian is my mentor after all. I beg your father to show mercy and at least don't kill Teacher Lian!"

Zhu Biao took a step back and begged in a soft tone.

"Hmph, we think you became such a benevolent and weak person because of that old guy's teachings. We think that old guy just had no good intentions. He taught the prince like this because he wanted the future emperor to be treated by civil servants like them. At your mercy!"

"Father, the teacher is definitely not what Father said. He is an upright man. He wholeheartedly teaches my son and hopes that he will become a wise king in the future. He has no intention of manipulating my son!"

"Humph, you are just too kind. You only see the surface of these people, but you don't see the filth behind them!"

"Father..."

"Stop talking, just step back!"

"Father..."

"Get out!"

Zhu Yuanzhang shouted angrily!

Zhu Biao looked miserable and had no choice but to retreat.

Li Wei watched from the side and gained a lot of experience.

Zhu Yuanzhang was still angry. He turned around and saw Li Wei looking stupid. He suddenly became angry and shouted:
"What are you still doing here? Get out of here!"

"oh oh!"

Li Wei was startled and quickly followed Zhu Biao out.

Li Wei caught up with Zhu Biao and couldn't bear it when he saw his sad face. He stepped forward to persuade him: "Your Highness, your Majesty has such a bad temper. You don't need to take it to heart."

At this time, Zhu Biao was worried about Song Lian's affairs, and was not in the mood to care about Li Wei's disrespect for his father.

"Li Qing's family, my father is determined to kill my teacher. How do you think I can save my teacher?"

Li Wei smiled matter-of-factly and said: "Of course I need to find someone who can cure him, such as your grandparents and mother."

Zhu Biao's eyes lit up. His grandparents were gone a long time ago, but the queen mother could indeed cure his father: "Yes, I can go find the queen mother. Thank you Li Aiqing!"

Originally, when he asked Li Wei, he just asked casually and sought medical treatment in a hurry, but Li Wei really reminded him with a casual word and found a way.

"Uh, you're welcome, but don't tell His Majesty that I told you this method!"

"Don't worry, Aiqing, I won't tell my father."

Zhu Biao gave him a reassuring look, and then hurriedly went to see Queen Ma.Seeing Zhu Biao's excited face as he left, Li Wei suddenly had a bad feeling.

Sure enough, that night, when Li Wei returned home and lay down, he was pulled up and beaten again.

Li Wei was so angry that he went to Zhu Yuanzhang to argue with him the next day. As a result, Zhu Yuanzhang fully demonstrated to him what the final right of interpretation is:

"Your Majesty, didn't you promise that you would stop beating and scolding me at will?"

"Hmph! Are we free to do so? You are bewitching the prince, shouldn't you be beaten?"

"..."

(I forgot to write down the condition of not being allowed to hit or scold at will in the previous chapter when negotiating terms, so I have added it.)
Not to mention in the palace, even in his own home, Zhu Yuanzhang will know exactly what he said and did!There is no need for Zhu Biao to say it.

However, interceding with Queen Ma really worked. Zhu Yuanzhang did forgive Song Lian, but it was only Song Lian himself, and no one else could escape.

This not only defeated the intention of the civil servants, but also preserved the reputation and prestige of the prince for his kindness. After all, it was the prince who saved his teacher.

In fact, this was Zhu Yuanzhang's original intention. After all, Song Lian was the prince's teacher. If he really killed him, the prince would be in an embarrassing situation. But Zhu Biao didn't know it yet, and it was impossible for a heartless person like Li Wei to see it.

……

Time flies, the weather is getting colder and colder, it is almost the end of the year, and the ministers are finally about to have one day of rest among the only three days every year.

But this has nothing to do with Li Wei. He has free time anyway. Of course, he has not been idle recently and has been busy making generators.

It wasn't until the past two days that he finally took some time. Anyway, the flintlock gun was designed and handed over to the craftsmen for production. After that, he just occasionally checked the progress and solved the problems.

After coming to Daming for several months, he finally had time to visit the ancient city of Yingtian. When he got up in the morning, he took Xiaoqing out.

Yingtian was the city of Nanjing in later generations. The capital of the Ming Dynasty at this time, it was adjacent to the Yangtze River in the north, with abundant water resources and convenient transportation. The Qinhuai River passed around the city in the south, and it was a distribution center for water transportation. The Dragon of Zhongshan was in the east, and the Tiger of Shicheng was in the west. There is a large water surface of Xuanwu Lake, which is the place where "dragons and tigers roost".

Moreover, Li Wei only recently learned that in addition to the three walls of Miyagi, Imperial City and Fucheng, there is actually an outer city under construction on the outermost side!

Such a huge project is already a huge project now!This made him marvel at the power of imperial power!
Li Wei took Xiaoqing around the city. Yingtian is now very prosperous. After all, it has been more than ten years since the founding of the country. All the world's resources are concentrated here, and there are many shops.

He looked left and right, buying what he needed and looking at what he didn't need curiously.

He also had another purpose of coming out this time, which was to find some business opportunities and see if he could make some money.

Counting on the salary Zhu Yuanzhang gave, it was no problem to have enough food and clothing, but it was far from enough to live the kind of life he wanted.

After his investigation, he found that the products on the market in Ming Dynasty are quite comprehensive. There are also things such as soap, but they are different from those in later generations. They are lumpy things that don’t taste very good, and some even add soap. There are all kinds of traditional Chinese medicines, including cheaper saponins and the like. There are quite a lot of varieties.

Soap is easy to make and the raw materials are easy to obtain. It is the best choice to earn the first pot of gold. Li Wei thinks that he can try it. However, he does not plan to produce it on a large scale. Instead, he plans to make the best soap and go for luxury goods. route.

It takes too much energy to make small profits but quick turnover, and he still has a lot of work arranged by Lao Zhu to do.

You can make a lot of money by making luxury goods, you don't need too many people, and the formula is easy to keep secret.

As he walked, Li Wei was attracted by a gorgeously decorated high-rise building, with a group of gorgeously dressed ladies saying hello to him.

"Uncle, come and play..."

"Come on, come on..."

Li Wei looked up at this longing place, and couldn't help but feel a surge of heat in his heart.

But after touching the money bag with his hand, he had to suppress the urge.

"Hey, I have no money!"

Li Wei sighed and reluctantly withdrew his gaze. This place was a gold-selling cave. His little possessions were not enough, so he had no choice but to ignore the calls of the young ladies and left cruelly.

Xiaoqing followed behind and looked at the beautifully dressed women upstairs, and then at Li Wei. She seemed to understand something, and her little face couldn't help but blush slightly.
