Daming: My boss Zhu Yuanzhang

Chapter 41 Where did he get the money

After the two of them calmed down, Li Wei asked Xiaoqing to arrange accommodation for them.

Xiaoqing first arranged for Xiaoyue to live in a side room in the backyard, and then arranged for Fufu to live in the front yard.

In ancient times, larger yards had front and back yards. Although the house Zhu Yuanzhang arranged for Li Wei was not very big, it had a complete structure and the front and back yards were clearly separated.

According to the rules, only the master and the maid can enter the backyard. The male servants cannot enter the backyard casually unless the master allows it. Li Wei doesn't know this, but Xiao Qing still understands.

After Xiaoqing and the others left, Li Wei and this man were the only ones left in the hall. Seeing his unruly look, Li Wei smiled, got up and walked to this man.

The man looked intently and ignored Li Wei's inspection.

Li Wei took out a piece of paper from his body and handed it to him.

The man's expression changed and he looked at Li Wei doubtfully.

"This is your contract. If you want to work here, do it. If you don't want to, just leave."

Li Wei said lightly.

Suspense flashed in the man's eyes, and he narrowed his eyes and asked, "Are you really willing to let me go?"

"Yes, don't you have all the body and deeds in your hands?"

"why?"

Li Wei was stunned for a moment, thought for a while and said: "No reason, I just think you are a pretty good person. You should be a capable person. It's not difficult to help you, so I'll just help you."

After hearing this, the man's eyes flashed with a mixture of suspicion and surprise. He took the body deed and opened it and looked at it. It was right.

Holding the body contract tightly in his hand, he felt excited in his heart.

When he was a slave in other people's homes, he never thought about escaping, and he also tried. However, the Ming Dynasty now has very strict control over population movement. Without documents, it can be said that it is difficult to move. As a runaway slave, he can't even get out of the city. .

Li Wei was able to run around outside Yingtian Mansion at that time, which was the result of Zhu Yuanzhang's arrangement, otherwise he would not be able to go far without being caught.

But things are different now. With the body contract in hand, you are truly free!
However, at this time, he hesitated a little. Should he leave or stay?

After hesitating for a moment, the man said:
"You just said that as long as we work for ten years, you will let us be good friends. Then I will work for you for ten years. After ten years, you and I will owe nothing!"

He also knew that Li Wei might have the idea of ​​subduing him, but since people are so sincere, he is not an ungrateful person.

Besides, he was now penniless, helpless, and had nowhere to go for the time being.

"Well, you go down too and work with them tomorrow."

Seeing that this man was quite honest, Li Wei nodded with satisfaction.

"Yes, sir!"

Since he had agreed to be a slave for ten years, the man also called him "Master".

"By the way, my name is Bujiha."

The man said again before leaving.

"Then I will call you Abu from now on."

"it is good!"

After agreeing, Bujiha left for the front yard. He knew the rules.

"This man is not simple."

Li Wei looked at Abu's leaving figure and thought to himself.

He admits that he has an element of gambling.

The reason why we want to save this person is mainly because of the psychology of the protagonist. When we see such a capable person in trouble, we want to rescue him and subdue him.

Of course, there is some sympathy for the same situation, and even if you fail, you will only lose ten dollars, and you will make it back in one day, so what are you afraid of?

After arranging the three of them, Xiaoqing returned to the main room.

"Master, they have made arrangements."

"Well, you can take them to make soap tomorrow. Do the key steps yourself first. You will have to work hard for a few more days to see if these people are reliable. If there is no problem, then leave everything to them."

Li Wei kept an eye out. "Okay, sir, don't worry."

"Well, go and rest."

"Ok."

Xiaoqing turned around, walked two steps and then turned back and asked, "Do you need me to help you change your clothes?"

When Li Wei heard this, his whole body felt hot, his heart was beating fast, and he was about to agree.

Ok.

"no need."

Li Wei's mouth trembled and he refused inconsistently.

Xiao Qing turned around and left a little disappointed.

Li Wei was stunned for a moment, and then his intestines turned green with regret. He raised his hands and wanted to slap himself...

In Qianqing Palace, Zhu Yuanzhang received the report after Li Weigang left the government and returned home.

"What? That bitch bought three slaves? Where did he get the money? Did he embezzle?"

Zhu Yuanzhang calculated the accounts very clearly, so he gave Li Wei one hundred guan of money. After deducting the money for renting a house some time ago, plus daily expenses, there was definitely not much left. The three slaves were worth four or five at least. Ten guan of money, and then you have to eat, drink, and have sex, which is another expense. Buying so many slaves is not enough for this piece of shit?

"That's not true. Didn't Mr. Li recently make soap and sell it? That's the money he made from selling soap."

The guard replied respectfully.

"Selling soap? Does he make money selling that stuff?"

Zhu Yuanzhang asked in surprise.

"Well, Mr. Li's soap sells for 280 yuan and two yuan. One piece is 50 and [-] yuan. It can be sold for [-] yuan a day. But this should be because Mr. Li makes it himself and can only make so much in a day. Now As soon as he arrived at the market every day, all the soaps he brought would be sold out, and business was booming."

The guards gave a detailed report. Originally, they were planning to buy one piece to show the emperor, but they immediately gave up the idea when they found out that the price was so expensive. The guards' incomes were not high, so it would be a big loss if they were not reimbursed by then. .

In fact, they had reported this a few days ago, but Zhu Yuanzhang didn't read it carefully or take it to heart. He just knew that Li Wei was doing a small business.

But now he has carefully calculated that 50 yuan of soap a day is calculated as 250 cash, which is also [-] cash for twelve times. Li Wei has been working for so many days, and maybe he has earned more than his annual salary. Now He bought a few more slaves to work for him, and he will definitely be able to make more in the future!

If you can make 100 yuan a day, that's 25 yuan, which is nearly [-] yuan a year.

1000 yuan a day is worth [-] yuan a year, and [-] yuan is a million yuan a year!

After the calculation was clear, Zhu Yuanzhang immediately lost his composure and stood up from the dragon chair in shock.

He doesn't care if he has hundreds of guans, but he has to care if he has thousands or even millions of guans!
Nowadays, the Ming Dynasty is full of waste and needs to be revitalized. If you can have so much money, whether it is the Northern Expedition or other government affairs, it will be much easier!
"This piece of shit, you have such a good thing and you don't even offer it up!"

After scolding him, he suddenly remembered that Li Wei seemed to have told him such a thing, and asked him to reject it with a sly and cunning comment.

Hiss..., this is not going to be easy. We can't let him be embarrassed and ask for it again, right?
Zhu Yuanzhang frowned and felt a headache for a moment, all because this bitch didn't speak clearly at the time!
"Did you see clearly how he made this... soap?"

Zhu Yuanzhang asked in a deep voice.

"This, my subordinates only looked at it from a distance. The specific production method was not very clear."

The walls of Li Wei's house are monitored by pro-military troops every day. Although the process of making soap is not difficult, it is not something that can be understood from a distance.

"In this way, please look at it carefully and clearly write down all the steps to make it!"

"Yes! This subordinate obeys the order!"

"Also, keep this matter a secret from us. If we know who dares to leak it..."

Zhu Yuanzhang narrowed his eyes and his voice became gloomy.

The guard hurriedly replied: "Your Majesty, don't worry, my subordinates will be tight-lipped and will never reveal a single word!"

"Well, that's good, let's go down."

After scaring him for a while, Zhu Yuanzhang waved away the guards with a calm voice.
