The Supreme Powerhouse of Martial Arts

This gave the enemy an opportunity.

Chang Yuchun's eyes were full of hatred, and he said: "The Mongol Tartars occupy our Han country, and regard our sect as a thorn in their side. They saw this opportunity and attacked our sect many times. Many brothers of my Ruijin Banner were brutally killed. Brother Zhu, we This time I came to look for you, just to ask for your help, get some money and food, and help my brother get through this difficult time."

During this period of time, the Ming Cult has been fighting among themselves. The Yuan Dynasty took advantage of the vacancy and killed many followers. The Ruijin Banner where Chang Yuchun was located suffered heavy casualties, and it was already in danger.

"You and I are brothers. Now you are in trouble. Of course, as a brother, you can't just sit idly by."

Zhu Yuanzhang patted Chang Yuchun's shoulder, "I'll figure out a solution for money and food."

Chang Yuchun immediately cupped his fists, "Brother Zhu, then I'll leave it all to you."

Zhu Yuanzhang returned the salute with clasped fists, and said with a smile, "Don't worry."

Chang Yuchun's eyes showed joy, and he said: "As long as big brother helps us tide over this difficulty, my brother Rui Jinqi will never forget big brother's kindness from now on."

Hearing this, Zhu Yuanzhang was satisfied from the bottom of his heart, but he said, "Everyone is a brother, what do you say, it's too outlandish."

Afterwards, the two talked about the internal strife in Mingjiao again. Chang Yuchun expressed his helplessness, and Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes flickered...

Chang Yuchun didn't leave until night fell.

After Chang Yuchun left, Zhu Yuanzhang squinted his eyes in thought, when suddenly someone opened the door and walked into the room, coming to Zhu Yuanzhang.

"Brother Chong, you asked me to give Hongshui Qi and Li Huo Qi a few things, and I have already arranged them."

The speaker was named Tang He, a bearded man with a thick back and waist, brave and good at fighting, and he was Zhu Yuanzhang's confidant.

Seeing Tanghe enter the room suddenly, Zhu Yuanzhang was slightly taken aback, then nodded immediately, and asked, "What do the envoys holding the flag say?"

Tang He said: "Brother Chong, you are helping them resolve their crisis. They all say that you are just in time. If there is a need in the future, they will do anything."

Zhu Yuanzhang was born in a poor peasant family and ranked eighth in his family, so he was named Zhu Chongba. Tanghe was Zhu Yuanzhang's fellow villager, and later joined Mingjiao together.

"Well, very good." Zhu Yuanzhang nodded with a satisfied smile.

At this time, Tang He pondered for a moment, then asked cautiously, "Brother Chong, I heard that brother Chang came here just now, is it for money and food?"

"Not bad!" Zhu Yuanzhang nodded.

Tang He revealed his hidden worries, and said: "Everyone is a disciple of the Ming Cult. If the Five Elements Banner encounters difficulties, we should help, but we can't make ends meet ourselves. If things go on like this, there will be no solution after all."

During this period of time, Mingjiao was repeatedly embarrassed by the Yuan court. Zhu Yuanzhang spent a lot of money to help the people of Mingjiao get through the predicament. Although the prestige was getting higher and higher, the cost was also huge. Tanghe saw these things in his eyes, Worry is getting worse.

"It's okay."

"I have my own way."

Hearing Tang He's concern, Zhu Yuanzhang looked calm and his eyes were piercing, as if everything was under control.

Then, he looked at Tanghe and ordered, "Go and bring my horse here."

"Okay, Heavy Starling."

Tang He nodded in agreement, without asking him where he was going, went to the stables in the backyard, and led the horses out. As for the lack of money, since Zhu Yuanzhang said there was a way, it was inconvenient for him to say more.

After a while.

"drive!"

On the main street of Fengyang City, Zhu Yuanzhang swung his whip, and under Tanghe's eyes, he left without a trace.

Chapter 077: The Richest Businessman, Shen Wansan (3/4)

In front of a magnificent mansion, there are white walls and blue tiles, two gold characters [Shen Mansion] on the plaque, and a row of red light buildings hanging high under the eaves, swaying in the north wind, and two servants guard the door.

rhythm -

Zhu Yuanzhang reined in his horse, got off his horse in front of the gate of the mansion, and walked inside.

"Uncle Zhu is here!"

"Please come in!"

The two servants guarding the gate recognized Zhu Yuanzhang and knew that he had a very good relationship with the master. One hurried forward to lead the way, and the other ran in to inform the master.

Zhu Yuanzhang strode into the mansion. The mansion was magnificent with carved beams and painted buildings. At this time, he passed a moon wall and saw a few maids in front of him, holding lanterns in their hands, surrounded by a middle-aged old man.

"When I heard the sound of horseshoes at the door, I knew you were here, hahaha..."

With a smile all over his face, the master walked towards Zhu Yuanzhang.

He was dressed in jewels, dressed as a wealthy businessman, but his body was slightly bloated, and he was very welcome to Zhu Yuanzhang.

Zhu Yuanzhang walked over, patted him on the shoulder, and said with a smile: "Brother Wansan, you are welcome, hahaha..."

Shen Wansan is not from the Jianghu, his shoulders hurt slightly after being slapped by Zhu Yuanzhang like this, but when they were young, they often fought like this, but they felt very kind.

He smiled heartily: "You are a master of the rivers and lakes now, I can't stand your fight, the banquet is ready, let's go, I won't return tonight if I don't get drunk."

After saying this, he took Zhu Yuanzhang's hand and strode into the mansion.

It turned out that this elegant and luxurious gentleman was Shen Wansan, the richest merchant in the late Yuan Dynasty.

Shen Wansan is smart and well-versed in business. Over the years, his business has grown bigger and bigger, with shops all over the country. He is operating such scarce materials as salt, coal, cotton, and grain, and a large sum of money is deposited into his account every day.

In a resplendent and resplendent room, there was a huge round table. Zhu Yuanzhang and Shen Wansan sat looking at each other. Several maids stood behind and waited for orders. The dishes on the table were exquisite and rare delicacies from mountains and seas.

"Brother Zhu, Wan San toasts you."

"Dry!"

Shen Wansan picked up the silver jug, filled Zhu Yuanzhang's cup, and then filled it himself. The wine was as amber in color, and it was obviously an extremely expensive and rare wine.The two drank it all in one gulp.

Zhu Yuanzhang drank the wine, squeezed the wine glass, and couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

"Nowadays, the war is raging outside, and the common people are miserable. It is hard to fill their stomachs. Brother Wansan lives a life of gods with rich clothes and fine food every day, which is really enviable!"

Shen Wansan shook his head and smiled, and said modestly: "Brother, don't make fun of me, I have indeed made some money in business these years, but it's just that I don't have to worry about food and clothing."

The next time, the two chatted.

At this time, Zhu Yuanzhang took a bite of food, and said while eating: "When we were young, we were so hungry that we fainted every day. At that time, we just wanted to fill our stomachs. Who would have thought that Wan San, you would become a rich man."

Shen Wansan nodded and sighed, "I can't even imagine the hard times in the past."

The two had known each other in their early years, when they were still children, poor and poorly dressed, worrying about making a living all day long.

What they dream of is to fill their stomachs, not to be hungry, not to be cold, not to be bullied.

Time flies, and decades have passed in a blink of an eye.

The poor kid back then has become a wealthy businessman with a lot of money. It really is not what it used to be.

"Brother, brother, I would like to toast you again."

"Okay, done!"

The two filled their glasses and drank it down.

The two of them had a very deep personal relationship. At this time, they were drinking to reminisce about the past, recalling all the hardships in their childhood, and their words were speculative.

After drinking for three rounds, Shen Wansan was slightly drunk, and said: "Brother is visiting late at night, I'm afraid I won't go to the Three Treasures Hall if there is nothing to do, you and I are like brothers and sisters, if there is anything that is needed, it's okay for the elder brother to say so."

Zhu Yuanzhang put down his wine glass, stared at Shen Wansan, and said happily: "Since my brother has seen it, then the elder brother will not hide it."

Immediately, he truthfully stated the purpose of his trip.

"The Mongol Tartars invaded our Han country. Since the establishment of Mingjiao, I have been determined to drive out the Tartars, recover the lost land, and return China to a bright future."

"However, the Tartars are too powerful, the Ming Cult has suffered frequent casualties, and now it is in the crisis of survival, and the soldiers, horses, money and food cannot be sustained. If this continues, the consequences will be disastrous."

Speaking of this, Zhu Yuanzhang took Shen Wansan's hand and said earnestly: "Wansan, you have a lot of money, if you can help Mingjiao to tide over the difficulties and drive out the Tartars in the future, I promise you that you will never be disappointed, how about it? "

After hearing this, Shen Wansan pondered slightly.

Only now did Shen Wansan understand that Zhu Yuanzhang's late-night visit was to borrow money from him to fight against the Yuan court.

The Great Yuan Dynasty ruled the world, and it has long judged Mingjiao as a chaotic party. The crime of funding a chaotic party is heinous.

However, Shen Wansan and Zhu Yuanzhang are brothers and sisters. Since Zhu Yuanzhang spoke, Shen Wansan could hardly refuse.

Besides, Shen Wansan is a businessman.

Businessmen, pay attention to profit.

The greater the risk, the greater the reward.

In addition, Shen Wansan had long been displeased with the Yuan Dynasty's tyrannical taxation and unkind government. If the Yuan Dynasty could be overthrown, it would be a great joy to the hearts of the people.

In an instant, Shen Wansan was full of thoughts, and various thoughts flashed through his mind. After pondering for a long time, his eyes stopped flickering, as if he had made a decision in his heart.

"How much silver do you need, brother?"

Shen Wansan put down his wine glass, stared at Zhu Yuanzhang seriously, and asked.

Zhu Yuanzhang was overjoyed when he heard the words, knowing that since he asked such a question, he had already agreed, otherwise with his personality, he could simply refuse.

"Mingjiao has suffered successive defeats recently, and needs a lot of money and food, at least one hundred thousand taels of silver, to get through the current predicament. In the future, you may need to lend a helping hand."

When Shen Wansan heard this, he couldn't help being a little surprised. He never expected that there was such a big vacancy in Mingjiao. It seemed that, as Zhu Yuanzhang said, it was the autumn of life and death.

However, thinking that the Mingjiao has a large number of followers, as long as they overcome the current difficulties, they will definitely have great achievements in the future. Even overthrowing the Mongolian tyranny is not a fantasy, and then they will benefit a lot.

Thinking of this, Shen Wansan said: "Housekeeper, you go and inform the accountant to draw out one hundred thousand taels of cash and send it to Brother Zhu's house overnight."

"Yes, sir!"

Immediately, the old housekeeper bowed to accept the order, informed the accountant, and made arrangements overnight.

Chapter 078: The Old Immortal, Liu Bowen (4/4)

"Good brother, I knew I was right about you!"

At the dining table, Zhu Yuanzhang looked overjoyed, and immediately lifted the silver pot, filled it for Shen Wansan himself, and said, "This glass of wine, my brother respects you!"

Immediately, he raised his neck and drank it all in one gulp.

Zhu Yuanzhang knew very well that Shen Wansan's family had a lot of money, and with his support, the event was half completed. The joy in his heart at this moment is beyond words.

"Brother, you and I are brothers and sisters. It's too far-fetched to say these words."

Shen Wansan continued: "If you still need it in the future, just ask. Brother, you don't have much else, but you have saved a lot of money, hahaha..."

Hearing this, Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes lit up. Unexpectedly, he took out one hundred thousand taels of silver, which was like a drop in the bucket.It is said that he is as rich as an enemy, and it seems that the rumors are true.
