King Luhuang of the Ming Dynasty: My father, Ming Taizu

Chapter 50 Don’t do this again!
  There was a hint of warmth in Zhu Tan's eyes.

If you get a wife like this, what more can a husband ask for?
  The money that Mr. Tang took out was clearly personal money given to her by Mr. and Mrs. Tang because they were afraid that she would be wronged if she married him.

in history.

Tang was put in charge of Zhu Tan and was executed by Lao Zhu.

This life.

I finally understood how good this Lu Princess Tang was to me.

Even if you are doing something wrong.

She still won't reason with you, won't dissuade you, and won't draw a clear line with you. She will only stand silently behind you and contribute her last bit of strength to support you.

Guo Ying looked at Zhu Tan.

Youyou sighed.

Duke Xin Guo gave birth to a good daughter!

It's a pity that a flower was stuck in the cow dung of my nephew.

Yin Shao was also moved.

The recent situation in Prince Lu's Mansion is extremely dangerous.

After he told his wife, the mother-in-law at home prepared the general and Li Shu.
  What kind of fairy princess is this Tang?

Zhu Tan also wanted to be moved.

I also want to praise her.

but.

He was afraid that his sudden tenderness would scare the princess.

finally.

Zhu Tan chose to keep a straight face and said to Mr. Tang: "Princess! What kind of money is this?"

Tang was even more flustered when Zhu Tan asked him this question, and whispered: "My mother gave it to my concubine!"

Zhu Tan hummed: "This is called private money! Since you have married this king as your concubine, how can you hide your private money! Is this because you don't trust me to lead you to a good life, or do you have other thoughts in your heart?"

When Mr. Tang heard this, he was even more at a loss.

"Your Highness! I haven't touched this money because I thought that when the prince would need it, I would give it to him."

Zhu Tan nodded.

He put away the little red envelope and said to the eunuch beside him: "Change these treasure notes into silver! Father's Ming Dynasty treasure notes are all deceiving people! They are printed every year, and there is no capital! Sooner or later they will become a piece of waste paper! We Lu The palace will not suffer such a loss!"

The words fell.

In front of Zhu Tan.

The eyelids of Wuding Marquis Guo Ying and Yin Shao were beating wildly.

Is the Ming Dynasty Baochao fooling people?
  Do you want to exchange your treasure banknotes for silver?
  To know.

During the Hongwu period, gold and silver transactions were strictly prohibited among the people, and violation of this was a serious crime.

Common people may use copper coins issued by the imperial court, Hongwu Tongbao.

Or use Ming Dynasty banknotes.

It can be seen that the imperial court attached great importance to this Ming Dynasty treasure note.

Now Zhu Tan's words have sealed the future of Ming Baochao.

Sooner or later it will become a piece of waste paper!
  If these words fall into His Majesty's ears, Zhu Tan will be killed.

Zhu Tan handed the red packet to the eunuch and said sternly to Mrs. Tang: "I will forgive you for your mistake of hiding private money this time, and you will not make it again in the future! I am heart to heart with you, you can't use your brains with me! "

Tang's face was as red as blood.

He lowered his eyebrows and said, "It's Your Highness! I know I'm guilty!"

Zhu Tan smiled with satisfaction and said, "I am doing this for your own good. If I am more strict with you, we will have less trouble when we get along as husband and wife, right?"

Mr. Tang nodded and said "hmm" softly.

Guo Ying couldn't help but cover her forehead.

It seems that Xin Guogong Tang He is in Shandong, right?

If he saw Zhu Tan bullying his daughter like this, would he suddenly go berserk and chop the cow dung with a knife?
  finally.

At Zhu Tan's insistence.

The words of Guo Ying, Yin Shao and others fell on deaf ears.

Instead, Tang also paid in 2 Ming Dynasty treasure notes.

Zhu Tan is so careless about entering Yingtian!
  But he was not completely reckless and insisted on confronting Zhu Yuanzhang. I am ridiculous to the point of being ridiculous, but if I really meet Lao Zhu, I can’t be stupid!

In short, he has made great achievements and his title has reached the top. The court will not reward him.

But he was not willing to let Zhu Tan hand over tens of millions of taels of silver to the court in vain.

You have to get some benefits for yourself as capital, right?

In the previous life, the company's main business was chemical engineering.

Zhu Tan is quite familiar with the manufacturing processes of many industrial products.

He has set his sights on an industry where he can make a fortune!
  That is, salt!
  In the Ming Dynasty, salt and iron were exclusively owned by the imperial court.

Dozens of saltworks are set up along the seashore.

Inland, there are also salt fields such as well salt and mineral salt.

All these salt businesses were monopolized by the imperial court.

Salt merchants need to obtain salt from the court, then go to the salt field to exchange it for salt and sell it to the people.

But in fact.

in this era.

Limited by the backward production technology of salt.

Table salt is of very poor quality.

Most of the table salt produced is large, bitter, and contains various impurities.

The taste is unpalatable.

Wealthy people like Zhu Tan can also eat refined salt that has been repeatedly purified and ground. Not only is the taste still worse than salt made with modern technology, but it is also horribly expensive!
  As for ordinary people, it is difficult to afford even ordinary large coarse salt.

This has resulted in many people having to buy private salt secretly.

After all, people need to replenish salt every day, otherwise they will not have the energy to work.

Zhutan, on the other hand, knows how to increase salt production and improve salt quality at the same time!

Of course, because modern refined salt is purified by chemical manufacturing methods, as mentioned in many time-travel novels, the protagonist often uses modern salt-making methods to produce refined salt, which is simply impossible.

It is impossible to make potassium ferrocyanide, the raw material for making modern refined salt.

Not to mention the use of technologies such as ultrasonic resonance.

It was impossible under ancient conditions.

But Zhu Tan knew that there would be no problem by improving the evaporation method, using basic chemicals such as lime water to precipitate impurities, developing filtration technology, improving the crystallization environment, and finally grinding it into salt.

Although the output and quality are still thousands of miles away from modern salt production.

But compared with the ancient salt preparation method, it can still be called a dimensionality reduction blow.

And Zhu Tan's goal is to use the silver captured from this time's fight against the Japanese pirates to exchange for the control of Changlu Salt Farm, the largest and best quality in the Ming Dynasty!
  He believed that Lao Zhu would definitely agree to him.

In fact.

If he takes the initiative to ask for it from Lao Zhu, in fact, even if the trouble does not reach this point, Zhu Yuanzhang may not agree.

After all, the world belongs to the old Zhu family. Zhu Yuanzhang would not be reluctant to give his son a mere salt farm in exchange for tens of millions of taels of silver.

But who allowed himself to be the absurd prince?
  If Lao Zhu is not happy, how can he establish his character?

not to mention.

Zhu Tan will do many shocking things next.

Without the cover of this ridiculous prince, it would easily arouse fear or even obstruction from interested people.

How great now!

No matter what I do, everyone will just watch the joke.

soon.

The fact that Zhu Tan concealed the seizure and made Lao Zhu furious has spread throughout the government and the public.

but.

This was also Zhu Yuanzhang's intention.

In fact, quite recently.

As vassal kings from various places came to power, there were more and more impeachments against vassal kings in various places.

This made Lao Zhu very unhappy.

He didn't care that his sons were cruel and easy to kill, and it was okay to bully the people as long as they didn't go too far.

But so many civil servants impeached vassal kings from various places, which made him very unhappy!
