Chapter 58 Establishment of the Department of Domestic Products
Lu Ning had no choice but to sigh and said to Zhu Biao helplessly.
"I'll tell you big brother, this is just like you, if you change someone else, I must not be so generous, so let's do it, in addition to these electric cars, I am sending you an additional small generator, as long as it is not used excessively, it should be no problem if it is just charged."
Zhu Biao also nodded frequently, of course he knew that Lu Ning's feelings for him were different from those for others.
"Needless to say, my brother naturally knows very well in my heart, and we don't need to say much about the relationship between our brothers."
As he spoke, he took out a silver ticket of 20,000 taels from his arms and handed it to Lu Ning.
"This is a national leading ticket, and it is a procurement silver tael given by the imperial court, but I won't give extra money for this generator."
Lu Ning was not polite, but the silver ticket was rolled up and put into his sleeve, and then said.
"If the court still has money, then I'll put it away, I still have a lot of shops and fresh things here, if the eldest brother can see it, I welcome the court to send someone to buy it at any time."
Lu Ning is also a reliable supplier, he found a lot of big cars, loaded these electric cars and shipped them back to Beijing.
This performance made Zhu Biao praise a lot, after all, this kind of merchant who sells goods and manages delivery is still rare in Daming.
After returning to Beijing, he handed over all the goods to the Ministry of War for storage, and then returned to the palace himself to report the trip to Zhu Yuanzhang.
After listening to Zhu Biao's story, Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help but praise loudly.
"This Zi'an is really ingenious, although this electric car is not as far as a motorcycle, it can also solve the urgent need, we are taking advantage of it again this time, this kid is cheap."
Zhu Biao replied with a smile.
"We can't take advantage of others in vain, Erchen went to give a silver ticket of 20,000 silver this time, but we are also polite, and we gave back a generator, we can charge it directly in Beijing."
Zhu Yuanzhang has always taken special care of his children and nephews, and this time he saw that Lu Ning had made new contributions, so he said.
"Biao'er, the appearance of this electric car in Shangjing can be regarded as another merit of Zi'an, we still want to reward it again, how about raising his baron to another level and becoming a viscount?"
Zhu Biao smiled indifferently, and he said directly.
"The promotion of the title can't be too fast, if it's too fast, it will make Zi'an suspicious, Erchen thinks that it is better to give Zi'an something he wants more."
Zhu Yuanzhang has completely regarded Lu Ning as his own nephew in his heart, and when Zhu Biao said this, he didn't agree.
"Then Biao'er will talk about it, what Zi'an lacks most now, let's give him something, the Son of Heaven is rich all over the world, and it's not too simple to want to appreciate something."
Zhu Biao smiled mysteriously and said to Zhu Yuanzhang in a low voice.
"What he lacks most is a daughter-in-law, and he already has a crush, but this matter should naturally be decided by his father."
As he spoke, Zhu Biao asked Lu Ning about Xu Zuhui from Jinyiwei, and told Zhu Yuanzhang about it.
After listening to this, Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help but fall into deep thought.
Obviously, this is the Jinyi Wei Baihu who calls himself Xu Zuhui, and is actually Xu Miaojin, the second daughter of Xu Da, the prince of the country.
In order to win over the heroes and generals, Zhu Yuanzhang has been marrying them, and will marry his princess to the son of the hero, and will also let the prince marry the daughter of the hero.
Yan Wang Zhu Di married Xu Da's eldest daughter Xu Miaoyun, and he has been thinking about which prince Xu Miaojin, Xu Da's second daughter, will marry.
However, if Lu Ning has this idea, as an uncle, of course, he must also fulfill this happy marriage.
But this matter also needs Xu Da's consent, after all, Lu Ning is only a baron now, and his official position is just a county order, which is too far from Xu Da's identity.
It's just that Zhu Yuanzhang knows very well in his heart that if Lu Ning's current ability and contribution are used, let alone be crowned a marquis, even if he is crowned a prince, he should be able to qualify.
Now just let him serve as a county commander and baron, just because he didn't want to disclose the identity of the emperor prematurely out of some considerations.
"Biao'er, don't tell others about this matter for the time being, my father already knows it in his heart, Zi'an himself will definitely be able to grasp this matter, this marriage must be a good couple"
Zhu Biao also knew Zhu Yuanzhang's thoughts in his heart, so he didn't say anything more, and began to report another job.
"When Erchen left Changning, Zi'an once said that if the court wants to buy something, it will definitely be able to buy it from him, which is of course a good thing, but in order to prevent excessive suspicion, Erchen should not come forward too much, if the court has a yamen who can specialize in this matter."
Zhu Yuanzhang thought about it carefully and felt that what Zhu Biao said was very reasonable, so he said to him.
"What Biao'er said is really the words of the old Cheng Mouguo, which is very reasonable, and my father also agrees with your statement, so it is better to set up a Zhengsanpin Yamen, called the National Products Division, which is responsible for procuring the items needed by the imperial court."
After saying that, he thought about it again, and then added.
"The hall official of this yamen is also a positive third grade, so that it is more convenient to do things, as for the candidate of the person who sits in the hall, it is up to you to determine, which will also cultivate talents for your East Palace."
After listening to this, Zhu Biao also knew that this was his father's good intentions, so he immediately kowtowed to offer his kindness, and then returned to the East Palace to arrange everything.
