Chapter 10 Salt Trafficking

Maybe this place is too small, and the small size makes those Mongolian ministers just indifferent to Fengyang.

The territory of the Great Yuan is too vast. Fengyang is a place that cannot be seen on the map of Dayuan.

Zhu Chongba was thinking about selling salt, that one gold ingot was exchanged for seventeen silver ingots, this time selling salt, he was going to take out five silver ingots as his eldest brother's capital to sell salt.

Because Zhu Chongba has won the care of the housekeeper, his time is still relatively free. The cattle ranch has its own people to do it.

He returned to his home again, never thinking that the home was like the New Year, very lively.

A lot of people are helping out in their homes, Zhu Chongba is very shocked, where did these people come from?

"Juhachi, you're back? Come and meet your brothers and sisters! It's been a long time since you've seen each other. His dad said.

Zhu Chongba was not very impressed by his elder brothers and sisters, and when he looked at it, there were seven young men and two big girls. Among them are his eldest brother, second brother, and sister.

Before he could speak, a man and a woman came out of the middle, and went straight to Zhu Chongba.

"Chongba, I'm your third brother, she's your eldest sister, and I went to visit relatives a few days ago. Listen to Daddy, you are suddenly very powerful, what a good brother. His third brother said.

Looking at so many brothers and sisters, after a few years, only him and his second brother were left, and the others were all sick and dead, and he couldn't stand it when he thought about it, and he must find a way to change this ending.

"Hello brothers, hello sisters!" Zhu Chongba's mouth is very sweet this time.

After meeting Zhu Chongba, several big brothers went to get busy, and there were really a lot of people watching work.

Money is really a good thing, Zhu Chongba's father went to buy a lot of wood, and other materials came back, and then called several children of Zhu Chongba's uncle's family over, his son Chongqi and eldest daughter just came back.

Families in the countryside are busy with life, and it is rare for so many people to get together, and Zhu Chongba's mother is now preparing for dinner.

After all, so many people come here to work, and they always have to take care of the food.

Zhu Chongba pulled his eldest brother aside, "Big brother, you take the time to inquire about how to sell salt, do you need to buy salt guides, with the introduction of salt, those silver ingots, you take out five of the capital to sell salt." ”

His eldest brother listened to Zhu Chongba's very methodical words, and admired him very much, his younger brother was only ten years old and was so smart, "Okay, I'll inquire later." ”

"Then I'll go back to herding the cattle!" Zhu Chongba and his mother, father said a word and returned to the cattle farm.

If you know the end of something in advance, no matter what it looks like now, people will think about the end.

With these brothers and sisters, Zhu Chongba always thought about the tragic things behind, so he couldn't bear to look at them anymore, so he excused himself and left.

There will be two children about the same size as Zhu Chongba feeding the cattle in the cattle farm.

When I walked up, I saw that the new child turned out to be Tang He, he was a good friend of Zhu Chongba, Tang He was two years older than Zhu Yuanzhang, and Tang He's home and Zhu Chongba's home were on the same street.

"Tang He, why are you here? We haven't played together in days! Zhu Chongba said.

"Yes! I went to visit relatives, and just came back, and the housekeeper here was looking for someone to feed the cattle, so I came. Tang He said as he worked.

When he was in college in modern times, Zhu Chongba read the history of the Ming Dynasty and said that Emperor Hongwu killed heroes, and there were few people who died well in the founding heroes, but Tang He was one of the "outliers" and got a good death.

The history books say that Tang He is "Shen Min and wise", Tang He is very remarkable, he is the introducer of Zhu Chongba's uprising, when Zhu Chongba was a monk in Huangjue Temple, Tang He wrote to Zhu Chongba to let him join the rebel army.

"That's great, we can see each other every day in the future." Zhu Chongba said happily.

Seeing his friends, Zhu Chongba was really happy.

This cow has eaten the feed of Zhu Chongba's formula, and it has grown much faster than usual.

Since Zhu Chongba planned last time, he hasn't planned again, he has to wait for the final implementation of his two ideas to see how the effect is?

A month later, a batch of cattle from the landlord Liu Fu's cattle farm was successfully slaughtered, and if it was usual, it would have to wait for at least another month or so.

The landlord Liu Fu was really overjoyed, he praised Zhu Chongba, and then tore up the "deed of sale" in front of Zhu Chongba, of course, he would not give Zhu Yuanzhang another ingot, just verbally praised.

Zhu Chongba's family conditions have also changed greatly, although it is still not very good, but the whole family has a bed, there are a few more rooms, his eldest brother also began to sell salt, went to the government to buy salt, and then went to Yancheng to buy salt back, to the four towns and eight towns to sell, it is still okay.

In addition to food and drink, cost, freight, etc., he earned five ingots of silver in a month, which already made Zhu Chongba and his eldest brother very satisfied.

And Zhu Chongba is quite dissatisfied, if he makes money at such a speed, where can he change the fate of the whole family? No, this will definitely not work, but what can he do? Zhu Chongba fell into thought.

Zhu Chongba suddenly thought of a sentence, "Build a high wall, accumulate grain, and slowly become king." This is the nine-character mantra that a great Confucian gave to Zhu Chongba.

Zhu Yuanzhang later faithfully implemented the nine-character mantra, and then slowly plumped his feathers, and had the last laugh in the crowd of heroes.

In fact, there is also a big business implied in this, that is, the grain business.

After all, people use very little salt every day, but grain is a super-large commodity, and in the end, the food supply of the north is heavily dependent on the south.

This is what Zhu Chongba saw from the materials in modern times.

But if you want to sell food, you are very different from selling salt. Grain trafficking requires large-scale capital, and this condition cannot be met in a short period of time.

Since he can't reach it, he has to find a way, the current Zhu Chongba has very little understanding of the current situation, and it is really difficult to be rewarded.

I don't blame him, because he is too young to do many things.

Originally, this period of time was Zhu Chongba's most painful period, it was a tempering of his ability to survive, Zhu Chongba was an emperor for 30 years after many years of military career, if his physical fitness was not good, it would be impossible to do it for so long.

The courtyard of the landlord Liu Fu's house is very grand, and the place where Zhu Chongba sleeps every day is a small firewood house in the outer courtyard, and it is not easy to see the landlord Liu Fu.

Zhu Chongba had an idea, he wanted to try it, so he went to the landlord's housekeeper.
