Chapter 36 Find a blacksmith shop
Little did Zhu Ming know that there was King Lu Huang in front of him and Zhu Shouqian in the back. These two alone were enough to leave a considerable psychological shadow on Zhu Yuanzhang.

That's why Zhu Yuanzhang asked Wang Fu to carry another secret mission.

Anyway, after this situation, the whole teahouse became very quiet.

Zhu Ming was still puzzled: "Aren't you talking about storytelling? Keep talking? I have already said that this is a private visit incognito, so you can just pretend that you don't know, or that I don't exist."

Everyone lowered their heads and dared not speak.

You claim to be the king every time, who dares to pretend that you don’t exist?

They don't want to die yet.

"Hey, little old man, I'm here to see His Highness King Min. I didn't know that His Highness Min was arriving at a distance, but I hope His Highness won't be surprised." The teahouse owner came over to greet him, and those who were still far away knelt down and saluted, looking a little frightened.

"Tsk," Zhu Xi smacked his lips and muttered: "I really just want to come in and rest for a while, drink tea and listen to storytelling. Look at you. Oh, forget it, I won't disturb you anymore."

Zhu Chu saw that he was making everyone uncomfortable here. Everyone could neither sit nor stand nor kneel. Now even the old shopkeeper was kneeling there pitifully.

He simply stood up, called Wang Fu and two soldiers to guard him, and the group went out like this.

In the teahouse, everyone couldn't help but look at each other.

Even the storyteller wiped away cold sweat and couldn't help but said to himself: "His Highness just left like this?"

"What? Do you still want His Highness King Min to give you a reward?" someone complained.

"Don't you dare, don't you dare," the storyteller waved his hands again and again, and said, "I mean, this is His Highness King Min. Logically speaking, we should have avoided the fight. But how come it was His Highness who went out in the end?"

This is what everyone is wondering about.

He is the Min King, the vassal king, and the local emperor here.

What is the identity of King Min, and what are the identities of these common people?

How come King Min was able to 'kick people out' without even taking a sip of tea?

"Shopkeeper, Lao Zhang, you can do it. How dare you even drive His Highness King Min out? You didn't even give him a sip of tea?" someone joked.

The shopkeeper struggled to stand up with the help of the waiter. When he heard this, his knees almost softened and he knelt down again.

Can you say this?Why did he get kicked out?
"Don't talk nonsense, His Highness King Min is benevolent and doesn't want to see us panic, so he left voluntarily," Lao Zhang, the shopkeeper, explained there.

The storyteller was already quite old. He stroked his beard, nodded and said, "This Min King is indeed different from the previous two vassal kings. Although I haven't seen him perform any great feats, at least he never disturbs the people. , Min Wang Daren."

Everyone had a thoughtful expression on their faces and each had his own thoughts.

Look at Zhu Xi again.

"Old Wang, did you do this on purpose? You didn't let me take a sip of tea on purpose, right? Do you want me to die of thirst?" Zhu Min walked angrily while scolding Wang Fu. .

It was his kneeling and that voice that made him so embarrassed.

The dignified prince of a vassal was still in his own territory and country, and even in the teahouse outside his palace, he was kicked out without even having a sip of tea.

It's a joke to say this.

Wang Fu could only apologize with a wry smile, saying in his heart that you don't even think about how scary your previous words were.It was almost as if he was suspecting that he had hidden evil intentions.

I don’t know if Wang Fu knows the story of Nian Gengyao and the story behind his removal.

In the TV series of the Yongzheng Dynasty, there are similar stories. It is said that when Nian Gengyao's generals were received by Yongzheng, they only obeyed Nian Gengyao's orders but turned a blind eye to Emperor Yongzheng.

This is so crazy that there is no limit to it. Even if he doesn't die, I won't be sorry for his madness.

Wang Fu was not Nian Gengyao, and he did not dare to be Nian Gengyao.

"I'm just kidding you," Zhu Zhen was also trying to make up for what happened just now.

Wang Fuguan smiled and said: "Your Highness, this kind of joke is really not funny at all. I would rather listen to your cold jokes a few more times. Because this kind of joke may scare people to death."

Zhu Ming curled his lips and said a cold joke that you couldn't understand, it was very boring.

"Okay, let's find a place to sit for a while first," Zhu Xi looked around and found that there was no good place nearby.

Mainly because he had eaten at the palace in the morning. After entertaining the generals that day, Zhu Zhen left a few cooks behind as the royal chefs of the palace.

After all, there are hundreds of people in the palace who need to eat.

There were also restaurants nearby, but Zhu Chu rubbed his stomach and found that he was not very hungry. He thought about it and decided to forget it and just walk on the street.

It's impossible for him to go in and ask for nothing, and then just occupy a seat and sit, right?
He's not some little gangster looking for trouble.

Finally, before Zhu Xi could wait too long, a soldier who had been sent out before came over.

"Your Highness, the commander, has found a blacksmith shop and is planning to sell it in the near future," the soldier brought back good news.

Zhu Ming's eyes suddenly lit up, and he said quickly: "Take me to see it quickly. By the way, you didn't tell me my identity, right? You didn't buy or sell by force, right?"

"I don't dare. I just heard that this family was originally from the Central Plains who moved to Yundi. Initially, Lord Xipinghou led the people to reclaim a lot of wasteland, so a lot of farm tools were needed, and the business was pretty good. But in the past two years, the business has been pretty good. The wasteland was almost fully cultivated and he no longer needed so many farm tools, so he planned to sell the shop and return to his hometown." The soldier explained the reason in detail.

This soldier was quite attentive and knew that his prince was kind to the people. He might have guessed that the prince would ask what happened, so he asked about the situation by the way.

Zhu Ming nodded with satisfaction, followed his lead, passed through several streets and alleys, and finally came to a relatively remote corner.

"It's a shame you can find a place like this," Zhu Ming said casually.

Because this place is really too remote, and I don’t know if it’s because of the special working environment of the blacksmith shop. In short, this is a secret door hidden deep in a remote alley. As he opened the small door, Zhu Xi came to an unknown place. A large courtyard.

The yard is messy, with many farm tools and debris piled around.

Zhu Chu even saw a shed in the corner of the yard, with a lot of coal, charcoal, or even coke placed in it?
In fact, the earliest records of coke in China can be traced back to the Tang Dynasty, but the earliest coking technology was the ancient method, which was not considered mature.

But by the Song Dynasty, coking technology had already taken shape, especially by the end of the Yuan and the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, such as now.

Zhu Zhen really saw the existence of coke, coal, and charcoal, and couldn't help but marveled: "Good guy, it seems that I underestimated the wisdom of the ancients."

In fact, it's more than that. What would Zhu Zhen think if he knew that during the Ming Dynasty, which is now the same period, there were even Europeans who sent glass products across the ocean for sale?
He also wanted to get the glass out quickly and then take it overseas to make a lot of money.

But I don’t know that the glass may have been taken out in Europe.
