Chapter 4 What's the picture?

The crowd dispersed, and Lu Ning finally walked out, and he and the servant Wan Chun beside him were covered with gifts from everyone.

"Liu Zhixian, I'm sorry, I made you laugh." Lu Ning walked up to Liu Changlu and said with a wry smile.

"Master Xiao Lu is polite, it's too late for me to blush with your treatment, how can I laugh." Liu Changlu helped Lu Ning take off the two pieces of cloth hanging on his body and introduced him: "This is a rich businessman from other places, and we are chatting about you." ”

As soon as the words fell, Liu Changlu came closer, and his voice was as thin as a mosquito fly: "Didn't you say that we need big businessmen to settle in now, look at the gold and jade objects on your body, these two are big fish!" ”

gave Liu Changlu a thumbs up without a trace, and Lu Ning arched his hand to Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Biao: "Boy Lu Ning Lu Zi'an, I have seen two gentlemen." ”

"Our name is Wang Xingzong, this is our son Wang Ren, who was poor when he was young and had no words, so Boss Xiaolu just called us Lao Wang Xiaowang." Zhu Yuanzhang smiled heartily, and by the way, he gave himself and his son fake names.

He looked at the young man in front of him, looking at him at seventeen or eighteen years old, wearing a white shirt, his face was like a crown of jade, his smile was full of smiles, but there was a light in his eyes, just looking at it made people feel good.

Lu Ning also looked at Zhu Yuanzhang's father and son.

The clothes are fine satin, the waist is Hetian jade belt, the carver is everyone's work at a glance, and the person dressed up by the groom next to him should be a guard, the dragon is fierce and fierce, and he is a practitioner.

Tsk, big fat sheep!

"Mr. Wang, it's not convenient to stand here and talk, let's go to the restaurant, it just so happens that Liu Zhixian is going to be the east today." Lu Ning enthusiastically proposed.

"It's okay, then our father and son will disturb it."

The group came to the restaurant with a smile, and the shopkeeper arranged the best box according to the old rules.

"This room is so bright, why don't you have a window, no......"

"It's ...... Such a big medicinal jade? It was used to glue windows? As soon as he entered the box, Zhu Biao stood by the window, stretched out his hand to touch it suspiciously, and suddenly exclaimed.

I saw that the window of the box was made of rosewood, and there was a whole piece of glass in the middle of the wood.

"What kind of body is in a panic......" Zhu Yuanzhang subconsciously ate a sentence of Zhu Biao, looked up, and the whole person was also shocked.

At the end of the Yuan Dynasty, the government already had the process of making glass, and Zhu Yuanzhang also set up a glass factory after the founding of the People's Republic of China, but generally only small objects such as chessboard chess pieces or cups can only be produced.

Liu Changlu's eyes burst out with surprise, and Lu Ning also whispered: "Even the glass recognizes it, it's really a big fish!" “

"Boss Xiao Lu, where did you get this medicinal jade?" Zhu Yuanzhang suppressed the surprise in his heart and asked Lu Ning.

"Well, I opened a glass factory, it's worthless." Lu Ning waved his hand: "Mr. Wang, if you like it, I will give you a piece, or you can also contribute money to participate in it, and you can take as much as you want." ”

Do it yourself?

This Xiao Lu boss is really a genius!

Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes lit up: "I don't know this kind of superb glass...... How many pieces of glass can be produced in a year? ”

Lu Ning smiled: "This kind of ordinary glass can probably burn out hundreds of pieces a day." ”

Hundreds of dollars a year!

Zhu Yuanzhang was shocked, if you sell it in the capital, it is not a problem for this kind of glass to sell for a thousand taels a piece, hundreds of yuan a day, wouldn't it be that in a few days, this little Lu boss will be rich and rival the country?

Lu Ning could see at a glance what Zhu Yuanzhang was thinking: "Mr. Wang, don't think about it, this glass is worthless if it has more, and it is not beneficial to the people's livelihood, I won't sell more, but if you are willing to buy a part of this business, you can sell it as much as you want, and give me one percent." ”

Zhu Yuanzhang groaned and thought.

"Let's not talk about that, let's drink." Seeing him hesitate, Lu Ning raised his glass.

The wine is made by Lu Ning's winery, which is sweet and mellow, and several people are happy to drink it.

"Master Xiao Lu, when the day comes, you have to give me the money." While the wine was drunk, Liu Changlu suddenly stretched out his hand towards Lu Ning.

"How dare you openly ask for a bribe?"

Zhu Biao stood up, his tone full of anger.

He didn't expect Liu Changlu, a county magistrate who looked open-minded and easy-going, to have such a dirty side.

There must be a lot of corrupt officials in the Ming Dynasty, but people still know that they are behind people!

Bah! Cheap!

Zhu Yuanzhang also clenched his fists and forcibly suppressed the killing intent in his heart: "Ren'er, don't be rude, Liu Zhixian naturally has the rules of Liu Zhixian." ”

Although the tone was flat, Zhu Biao could hear how disappointed Zhu Yuanzhang was.

Zhu Yuanzhang was born in poverty, and what he hated most was the inhumane landlords and gentry, as well as corrupt officials and corrupt officials.

If it weren't for these two people, how could Zhu Yuanzhang's family be ruined and have to tie his head to the waistband of his trousers to do the work of rebellion?

"Dad, they ...... Alas! Zhu Biao looked at Zhu Yuanzhang and sat down indignantly.

"Liu Zhixian, this is three thousand taels this year." Lu Ning clapped his hands, and the servant outside the door brought in a tray and brought it to Liu Changlu.

"Liu Zhixian, doing business in Changning, do you have to offer you three thousand taels every year?" Zhu Yuanzhang asked lightly.

When questioning, Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't hold his fists anymore. According to the current prices, one tael of silver can buy 300 to 350 catties of rice, which is enough for a poor family to live for a year.

This shot had to be two thousand taels, and Zhu Yuanzhang even sympathized with the businessman he had always disliked.

Liu Changlu and Lu Ning glanced at each other and smiled bitterly.

"Other businessmen don't need to give it, as long as Master Xiao Lu's." Liu Changlu explained.

"What's the reasoning?" Zhu Yuanzhang was surprised, can you still be a pit by others, don't you respect Lu Zi'an?

Lu Ning took a sip of tea and took over the topic with a smile: "This money is not for Liu Zhixian, it is for Liu Zhixian to pay attention to." ”

"From the prefect to the officials, there are so many people, if you want Changning County to develop its economy, it is inevitable that you have to feed the people up and down, of course, I will pay all the money, and other businessmen don't need it."

"The reason why Liu Zhixian asked for this year's money in front of the two of them is to let the two of them know that although they can rest assured to do business, foreign businessmen will be protected by me and Liu Zhixian!"

Liu Changlu stroked his beard with a smile and didn't speak, he just saw Zhu Yuanzhang groaning and didn't agree to participate in the business of the glass factory, so he quickly thought of this way to show goodwill.

Zhu Yuanzhang stunned the tooth flower: "So you mean, Liu Zhixian is responsible for the dots, you are responsible for the money, and other businessmen only need to do business with peace of mind?" ”

"So what are you trying to do?"

Figure the merit points brought by economic development, figure I can live two more years!

Lu Ning complained in his heart, but said on his lips: "Tu Changning's development!" ”

"I, Lu Ningda, will help Changning, and Changningda will help the world!"

"I want to let the people of this world have enough to eat, so that they can eat well!"

"Well said!" Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes flashed and he cheered.
