Chapter 224: The Origin of Ma Sanbao
In fact, Ma Sanbao should have appeared in the fifteenth year of Hongwu, but because Lu Ning came to Daming, the direction of some things changed.
He is a descendant of the nobles of the Western Regions Tianfang Kingdom, and the imperial court exterminated the Yunnan Tusi and accepted some of the boys as eunuchs, and from this, Ma Sanbao entered Zhu Di's mansion.
If Lu Ning did not appear and the major events of the Ming Dynasty developed normally, this Ma Sanbao later made miraculous contributions in the Battle of Zhengcunba.
This battle was the turning point of the famous Battle of Jingjing.
Since then, Ma Sanbao has been given the surname Zheng by King Yan and named Zheng He.
Later, he converted from Tianfang Sect to Buddhism, and changed the three treasures in his name to the three treasures in the Buddhist legal name, so he was also called the Three Treasures eunuch.
Since then, the history of the descendants of Yan and Huang has left a famous navigator - Zheng He.
But Ma Sanbao, who has just arrived at the Yanwang Mansion, is still unknown, and no one knows whether he can make contributions in the future.
But as long as it is gold, Lu Ning doesn't want him to indulge in the long river of history.
Therefore, when someone asked, they highly recommended this navigator Zheng He.
Seeing that Lu Ning swore so much, he also fooled Zhu Yuanzhang into "lame", and repeatedly confirmed whether he had the intention of befriending eunuchs and causing chaos in the court.
He sighed and continued.
"Since the prophet Zi'an said that this person is good, then let's pay attention, after going back, we must ask my friend to play to the court, we can't control how the court decides, if the result is not as good as you want, you are not allowed to resent us."
Lu Ning was helpless, this is my business? I co-authored a talent and recommended something wrong.
He was unhappy in his heart, but he didn't show it on his face, and said casually:
"I'm just talking casually, as for what the court does to do what it has to do with me, although my title is an earl, my position is only a seven-grade sesame official, so far away from the sea, just earn my money every day."
Zhu Yuanzhang realized this in his heart and replied.
"Oh, let's not talk about it then, let's make a note of this."
Lu Ning said a little unhappily.
"I don't like to talk nonsense, but you are the one who does business for the emperor, what do you care about the government and politics? Those six Jiuqing are not much better than you, you should hurry up and make money honestly. ”
Hearing Lu Ning's complaints, with some concern, Zhu Yuanzhang's heart warmed, and he also felt that this kid had no ambition, so he smiled very embarrassedly.
"Don't be stunned, uncle, let's eat, I saw that it was a long time coming, and it was time for dinner."
At the dinner table, neither of the two uncles and nephews talked about these unhappy things.
After a while, after three rounds of wine and five flavors of food, Zhu Yuanzhang continued to ask him.
"Recently, there are no border troubles, what are Zi'an's current plans?"
Hearing what he meant, he was still a little worried about himself, and Lu Ning shook his head helplessly.
It seems that in the future, you should pay attention to the affairs involving the government and politics, don't be careless, and make a crime of killing your head.
So he became much more low-key, and when Fauber led the people to remove the dishes, he sighed and said.
"I have a winery here, a rich village, and a lot of other industries, just take care of it, as for saying that thousands of miles are only for money, I am mainly not bad for money?"
Zhu Yuanzhang smiled embarrassedly, and said in his heart Are we too sensitive, this kid is not willing to tell us even if he has any suggestions in the future.
So, he was very depressed and found a book and flipped through it.
Lu Ning glanced at Zhu Yuanzhang as if he remembered something.
"By the way, uncle, the sewing machine I invented recently is also very popular, and a lot of weavers have been recruited, and it is estimated that I will be able to cut a wave of leeks again in the near future."
Hearing this, Zhu Yuanzhang instantly blushed.
Is it okay to have food, clothing, shelter and transportation as people's necessities? If you really want to ask you to make industrialization, it is not just a wave of leeks, it is simply a golden field for drought and flood to ensure harvest, and it is not an exaggeration to describe it as a daily increase in gold.
"Zi'an, I can't imagine that you are richer than our household in a county!"
In fact, Zhu Yuanzhang is still quite sensitive to money, at the beginning of the founding of the country, there was a rich businessman named Shen Wansan, that guy was known as rich and rivaled the country, Zhu Yuanzhang felt a little out of his control.
So he used the excuse that Shen Wansan did not have an order from the imperial court, and rewarded the three armies with his personal reputation, which was to pull troops to rebel and have a heart of disobedience, so he directly sent Shen Wansan to 3,000 li.
But for Lu Ning, he couldn't make such a ruthless move.
So Zhu Yuanzhang knocked on the side and said to Lu Ning.
"Zi'an, uncle can tell you, you make money, but you make money, but you can't forget to take our domestic goods company, after all, we represent the imperial court on behalf of Your Majesty, if you contribute more to the imperial court, the imperial court will naturally not forget this credit."
Hearing this, Lu Ning scratched his head speechlessly.
How can this uncle be a royalist by nature? People say that money is not exposed, I just make some inventions from time to time to make some money, is it necessary to give me such a platform?
It's just that now the whole court is like this, deliberately cracking down on landlords and rich businessmen, and using the method of robbing the rich to help the poor, to appease the people in the world who are waiting to be fed.
There is the sadness of this era in this era, after all, you can't turn this Ming Dynasty, which was heavy on agriculture and suppressed commerce, into a commercial dynasty.
So he smiled helplessly.
"Although it is a little unreliable to cooperate with your domestic goods company, but my taxes should be paid, but there is no less, we are relatives, and it is okay to continue to cooperate in the future, but you can't call me bloodless."
Zhu Yuanzhang naturally agreed with his statement, so he laughed it off.
