Ming Dynasty: Every day, Zhu Yuanzhang is in trouble

Chapter 41 Zhu Yuanzhang: Haha, I don’t know how high the sky is! Reality will teach Mei Yin how to behave!

"What are you talking about? They bought so much lard and didn't eat it. Instead, they used the lard to make some kind of soap?

A thing for bathing? "

In Wuying Hall, Zhu Yuanzhang's voice sounded, with some displeasure.

"Reporting to the superior, that's it."

"You bastard! You really are a bastard!!"

After Zhu Yuanzhang confirmed that this was true, he cursed angrily.

"This lard is for eating, not for them to waste like this!"

Zhu Yuanzhang lived a hard life since he was a child.

When he was a child, he had two memories that stood out the most.

One is cold and the other is hungry.

Cold is okay, but only in winter can you feel the ubiquitous cold.

But hunger has always been with me.

It has been with him since he can remember.

Later he almost starved to death.

Begging for food, let alone being a monk, means starving.

Sometimes, it is not uncommon to be unable to get food for a day or two.

It was not until later that he followed Guo Zixing and became famous there that he could make a living.

It was this experience that made him cherish food exceptionally.

I have also developed the habit of not being extravagant or wasteful when it comes to eating even now.

In Zhu Yuanzhang's view, it is better to say something else. This waste of food is really a huge mistake!

This is a crime!

Lard is a good thing.

How could Zhu Yuanzhang not know how precious lard is to so many ordinary people?

On weekdays, many people do not eat meat or fish.

Only those whose families are a little rich will get some lard and fry some vegetables during holidays.

There is no need to add too much, just a small amount in the dish will make the rice fragrant and bring out the gluttons in people's stomachs.

How many people in the Ming Dynasty can't afford lard?

As a result, Mei Yin was doing well now, so she had to waste so much lard!

If he bought it and ate it, Zhu Yuanzhang would not say much.

But to use such a good thing to make soap for bathing and washing face is really too much!

Zhu Yuanzhang's anger suddenly rose.

"Where did he get so much money?"

Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly thought of money.

"Isn't it the little bastard Li Jinglong who secretly carried it with him when he passed by?"

Before the person who reported the news could answer, Zhu Yuanzhang had already figured out the answer.

He already knew that his brother-in-law, Li Zhen, had sent the bastard Li Jinglong to Shuangshui Village to feed pigs.

In Zhu Yuanzhang's opinion, it must be Li Jinglong, that bastard who secretly hid the money.

Otherwise, it would not be such a coincidence. After Li Jinglong left, Mei Yin started spending money lavishly and wasting good things.

"Reporting back to the superior, maybe...maybe Mr. Li did bring some money with him when he left Beijing.

But...those used to buy lard and other things...are earned by Mei Yin..."

"Mei Yin earned it?

Where did he get the ability to make so much money in such a short period of time? "

Zhu Yuanzhang knew only too well how difficult it was to make money in the countryside.

Every copper is hard to earn.

Not to mention, so much money was made in such a short period of time.

Totally impossible!

It must have been the money that Li Jinglong smuggled there.

"Reporting back to the superior, it is... Mei Yin caught the fish and had people sell it for money."

Zhu Yuanzhang's face froze when he heard this.

Well, I actually forgot about Mei Yin's ability to catch fish.

"Then what do they do with that soap?"

"I heard that I want to do big business and make a lot of money."

Having said this, the look on the person who reported back became a little strange.

"The two of them set the price at ten dollars for a piece of soap.

Today we are heading to Yingtianfu City for sales. "

"How many?!"

Zhu Yuanzhang's voice suddenly rose a lot.

"Reply to the superior, ten coins per dollar"

Ten coins, one... yuan? !

At this moment, even Zhu Yuanzhang, the founding emperor, was shocked.

Why don't they grab it?

They can obviously still steal it!

After being shocked, Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help laughing.

It's just that this smile is full of disdain and ridicule.

Two ignorant bastards!

Isn't this just pure nonsense?

A piece of equipment for washing your face and bathing can be sold for ten dollars.

Do they think other people’s money was blown away by strong winds?

If they price this thing so expensive, will anyone really buy it?

How is it possible!

How could there be so many taken advantage of?

"We understand. Let's report again in the evening."

Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hands and said.

He asked this person to report again in the evening, obviously because he wanted to see how Mei Yin and Li Jinglong met with obstacles in Yingtianfu City today. How dare they think that a piece of soap costs ten guan!

Zhu Yuanzhang was happy to see the ruthless reality and give these two ignorant Leng Touqing a head-on blow.

Teach them how to behave properly.

Let them know that they need to work hard to survive.

It can't be like what they think, just think it out!

They caught fish and finally made some money, but this time they had to lose it all.

Zhu Yuanzhang felt quite happy when he thought about it.

It's just a pity for those lard...

……

After walking for a while, Mei Yin, Li Jinglong and his party arrived at Yingtianfu City.

Li Jinglong wanted to shout, he, Li Jinglong, was back again.

However, looking at the patched coarse cloth clothes he was wearing, he didn't dare to be too showy after all.

He also quietly pulled down a broken hat on his head.

He was worried that someone would recognize his identity.

He, Li Jinglong, couldn't afford to lose this person.

In later generations, Mei Yin saw buildings more majestic than Yingtian Mansion.

In addition, he had the memory of his predecessor, so he was not too shocked by the visit to Tianfu City.

The same goes for Li Jinglong. After all, this is where he is accustomed to living.

But Zhao Jia, who was following behind, was completely stunned.

This is their first time coming to Yingtianfu City.

This is really majestic!

There are soldiers and horses guarding the entrance to check the directions.

After confirming that there was no problem, he let them all in.

Lu Yin is not difficult to obtain for Mei Yin.

After all, during these days, he had become familiar with Zhao Jia Chang and the li director there.

It is easy to find a way out.

After entering Yingtianfu City, Mei Yin, together with Li Jinglong, Zhao Jiachang and others, came to the prosperous place to set up stalls and sell soap.

Mei Yin also put up a sign and wrote some better slogans.

In order to make this soap look higher-grade, yesterday he teamed up with Li Jinglong to make many exquisite boxes.

And drew some pictures on the box.

Mei Yin herself was not good at painting, but her predecessor had this skill.

He also inherited it.

So the painting is very beautiful.

Mei Yin's unique billboard really worked.

It didn't take long before someone came to ask for a price.

They seemed to be very interested in what Mei Yin and the others were selling.

But after learning that this unfamiliar soap cost ten guan, the person who came to ask for the price almost cursed on the spot.

Then more than a dozen people came one after another, and they all felt that ten dollars was too expensive.

Some people even told them to their faces that they were crazy for money.

Who is willing to spend ten dollars to buy this thing?

Until the sun sets in the west, the crowds become sparse.

They still haven't sold one piece.

Zhao Jiachang and others lowered their heads.

I knew that Mr. Mei’s selling method was unreliable.

Although there are many rich people in Yingtianfu City, they are not fools.

How could it be possible to pay a high price of ten thousand yuan to buy this thing?

"Mr. Mei, how about... let's adjust the price downwards?

Down to the usual money you mentioned before? "

Zhao Jiachang finally couldn't bear it anymore and whispered to Mei Yin.

Mei Yin shook his head: "No, it has to cost ten guan. The soap is worth this price."

The corners of Zhao Jiachang's mouth twitched, and he couldn't say anything else.

In fact, at this time, even Li Jinglong, who was full of confidence before and said that there are many rich people and many stupid people in Nanjing, is no longer so confident.

I also asked Mei Yin here if he wanted to reduce the price.

Mei Yin also refused.

"I have a way to sell the soap quickly.

It won't take long for him to become quite famous.

People rush to buy our soap. "

After hearing Mei Yin's words, both Li Jinglong and Zhao Jiachang felt unconvinced.

Today's experience has proven that soap is not easy to sell at all.

It can even be said that it cannot be sold at this price.

How could it be possible that after hitting a wall for a day, there is now a good way to sell it?

Mei Yin didn't want to talk nonsense and asked Li Jinglong to come over and whisper a few words in his ear.

Li Jinglong's eyes widened instantly! !
