Chapter 499: Xiao He is still Xiao He
"If we don't know, then no one in this world knows what's going on." Zhu Yuanzhang secretly sneered in his heart.
The person in front of him is the kind of ordinary person who likes to brag nonsense.
Lao Zhu doesn't know how many people he has seen.
Anyway, it would take two full days to get on the train alone.
If you are idle, you can treat it as a boredom.
At this time, the train has just come out, and the technology in all aspects is not very perfect.
Although it has already started to operate, the speed of driving is much slower than that of a galloping horse.
Of course, no matter how slow the train is, the capacity is definitely not comparable to that of horses.
In addition, it is also capable of carrying people again.
Nowadays, more and more people are aware of the power of trains.
"It is said that the Academy of Sciences is now working on a new type of train." The person sitting opposite Zhu Yuanzhang talked about the situation in Datong, the general trend of the world, and finally the new train.
Zhu Yuanzhang has been listening patiently, responding from time to time to let the other party know that he is listening.
The other party didn't know that his bottom line had already been clearly understood by Zhu Yuanzhang.
This person's name is Xiao He, a native of Tianshui, Gansu.
When he heard this name just now, Zhu Yuanzhang was also startled.
How can this guy dare to call the same name as Xiao He.
After a careful understanding, I realized that this Xiao He was not Xiao He.
The sound is different from the same word.
This man is a man who runs goods from south to north, and he doesn't have a fixed livelihood, and he does whatever he makes money.
Now in the Ming Dynasty, the most profitable business is, of course, grain trafficking.
Even if you are in Yingtianfu, the price of a stone of grain is less than a piece of silver.
At this time, as long as you can get grain and successfully transport it to Datong, you can easily earn several times the profit.
"Brother, let me tell you, when we do business, it's about buying high and selling low. The most important thing is to seize the opportunity to grasp the price of goods in the north and south of the world. ”
When Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, he asked with interest: "Didn't you just say that the people in Datong Mansion are already bored?" In this case, you still sell grain to Datong Mansion at a high price, isn't this the same as those corrupt officials and corrupt officials? ”
"Forehead ......" was talking about Xiao He on the rise, and he almost didn't come up in one breath.
Is it okay not to bring such a chat?
Don't think you're old enough to talk nonsense.
Isn't it true that such a person who can't talk has lived to be killed by reinforcements at such an old age?
People like Xiao He, after all, are running goods everywhere in the world, and their reaction ability is definitely against the sky.
Even if he was scolded by Zhu Yuanzhang like this, he was not angry.
Instead, he laughed and said, "I said brother, what you said is indeed reasonable." ”
"We businessmen are engaged in the business of buying low and selling high, and sometimes it is inevitable that people will feel that they have earned nothing."
"But brother, many people only see us businessmen making money, but they don't know how much we have done."
"Let's not talk about it far away, let's just say that this time the volume of transportation to Datong, right?"
"It looks like it's quite profitable, six or seven times the profit."
Zhu Yuanzhang listened to Xiao He's complaint and secretly rolled his eyes.
This is also now, Zhu Yuanzhang has gradually realized that if the Ming Dynasty wants to be truly rich and strong, it is inseparable from businessmen.
Therefore, even if he didn't like it in his heart, Zhu Yuanzhang didn't show it.
If this had been the case before, it would have been this kind of speculative businessman who took the opportunity to sell grain to the disaster area and turn it to high profits.
Zhu Yuanzhang didn't bother to talk nonsense with him at all, so he directly asked Jinyiwei to pull him out and cut him down: "No matter how hard you work, it's better than ordinary people." ”
Xiao He was stunned for a moment, and then laughed: "I didn't expect that brother, you are also a person with a heart for the world, and my brother admires you." ”
also reported to Zhu Yuanzhang with a fist: "It can be seen that my brother doesn't look down on businessmen like me very much." ”
Zhu Yuanzhang was a little impressed by this Xiao He, he thought he was hiding it well, but he didn't expect to be seen by Xiao He.
Seeing his surprised look, Xiao He laughed and pointed to his eyes: "Brother, I have been traveling south and north for so many years, relying on nothing else, but these eyes." ”
Zhu Yuanzhang said with a smile: "Then brother, what do you think, who am I?" ”
Xiao He seemed to know that Zhu Yuanzhang would ask this question.
looked at Zhu Yuanzhang with a smile and said, "Since the elder brother asked, then I'll guess." ”
"Look at your attitude towards businessmen, brother, you are definitely not in business, am I right?"
Zhu Yuanzhang nodded undeniably, as long as you are not blind, you can basically see this kind of thing, and it is not a good thing.
Xiao He's voice continued: "But looking at your dress and conversation, brother, the situation at home in your early years should not be particularly good." ”
"But in recent years, all of a sudden, I've become rich again, am I right?"
Zhu Yuanzhang didn't expect that Xiao He could really see so many things.
Although what Xiao He said was vague, most of them were really right.
Xiao He finally concluded: "Moreover, brother, you can get a train ticket, which shows that the relationship in the court is not ordinary. ”
Zhu Yuanzhang was expressionless, and he didn't let the other party get any information from his face at all: "Brother, aren't you the same?" It's not so easy to get a train ticket now. ”
The price of a train ticket, although not particularly expensive, is really a gunslinger's thing right now.
It's really not so easy for ordinary people to get tickets.
Even if it is an official of the imperial court, it is not so easy to get it if you want to get it.
It's just that ordinary people in this era have not so high travel needs.
That's why Zhu Yuanzhang turned a blind eye and treated it as if nothing had happened.
mentioned this, Xiao He said depressedly: "I'm different from you, brother, a person of your status, it's just a matter of one sentence to get a train ticket." ”
"It's not like me, I don't know how much money it will cost or how much relationship it will take."
Zhu Yuanzhang's eyebrows raised, but he didn't say much.
My brother once said that some things must have a reason for his existence.
As the helmsman of this empire, he only needs to be able to grasp the general direction.
For the rest, there will naturally be a system of conditions internally.
First-class companies look at performance, and third-rate companies pay attention to discipline.
Lao Zhu didn't agree with his brother's words very much.
But countless evidences show that many times Zhu Han is right.
Moreover, since he has left the imperial court, Zhu Yuanzhang also wants to give himself a vacation.
Leave the messy things to your son.
At that moment, Lao Zhu smiled slightly: "Brother, you haven't explained a lot of what kind of identity we are." ”
"Maybe you're wrong, we're just ordinary farmers?"
Xiao He pouted: "Old brother, you're boring, aren't you?" Just your temperament, and your sister-in-law's temperament. ”
This guy is also a talker, and while patting Zhu Yuanzhang's ass, he didn't forget to bring Queen Ma with him.
At this moment, it can be regarded as making Zhu Yuanzhang comfortable.
Lao Zhu laughed and said: "We love to hear this, the most proud thing in our life is to marry a good wife." ”
Xiao He stopped at the point, and then said with a smile: "Brother, how about we make a bet?" If I'm wrong, I'll treat you to a drink at noon. ”
"If I'm guessing correctly, then I'll have to let you break the bank, brother."
This kind of gambling is harmless, and Lao Zhu is naturally not indispensable: "Okay, then it's decided." ”
Of course, he could see that since he was driving, Xiao He had been getting close to him intentionally or unintentionally.
It's just that Zhu Yuanzhang feels very strange, his current identity is just an ordinary person.
This Xiao He doesn't need to stammer himself like this, right?
Could it be that his identity has been exposed?
But soon, Zhu Yuanzhang himself vetoed this speculation.
At this time, Zhu Biao and Tang He may have just known his identity.
If any businessman could know who he was, then he would be the emperor for nothing.
Xiao He looked confident: "If my guess is right, you must be a distant relative of a certain prince in the imperial court." ”
"Brother, your surname is Chang, you should be the elder of the family of Eguo Gong Chang Yuchun, am I right?"
Zhu Yuanzhang's smile was a little stiff.
This private visit to the microserver, in order to facilitate the act, the pseudonym is always there.
Nominally, it's really a relative who often meets spring.
Xiao He, this guy, just brushed a little clever.
What Zhu Yuanzhang said about guessing his identity is to guess who his fake identity is.
And Xiao He, this guy, used a more extensive statement.
But if you want to say that Xiao He guessed wrong, it doesn't seem to be right.
Because of his family identity, this is indeed the case.
Although he is a little clever, Xiao He is not very disgusting.
The other party's attitude is also clearly for people to see, he seems to be joking.
At that moment, Zhu Yuanzhang laughed: "My brother is really smart, this time we lost." ”
Xiao He smiled generously: "Brother, you are shivering at me, I did take a trick this time, just treat me as losing, I invited this meal at noon today." ”
didn't wait for noon, Xiao He directly asked people to bring two bottles of good Fenjiu up, and prepared chicken, duck and fish.
In the Ming Dynasty at this time, although the life of the people is much better than in history.
However, it is not as good as chicken, duck and fish.
Even for some officials, life is actually tight.
It's just that those who can afford to take the train will definitely not be worth much.
After all, even if you don't talk about those personal contacts.
Train tickets alone are not something that ordinary people can afford at will.
Therefore, although the movement on their side also attracted some attention, no one paid too much attention to them.
After the meal was served, Zhu Yuanzhang just wanted to move his chopsticks, but the face of a young man next to him changed slightly, as if he wanted to step forward to stop it.
After all, Lao Zhu is the current Son of Heaven, and when he was in the palace, his diet and daily life were handled by special people, and it was slightly better.
Now that he has left the palace, he dare not slack off on his diet.
If someone dares to poison the food, it is really not a joke, and it can definitely cause a monstrous wave of the entire Ming Dynasty.
Zhu Yuanzhang shook his head slightly, and glared back with a sharp look.
Lao Zhu is also a general who once led troops to fight, and he understands very well the truth that the more dangerous the place, the safer it is.
If others are outside the palace, everything is exactly the same as in the palace.
To eat, someone needs to test the poison, so isn't there no silver three hundred taels here?
Xiao He didn't pay attention to Dean Zhu's small movements, took the initiative to help Zhu Yuanzhang pour wine, and picked up the wine glass: "Brother, I'll toast you first." ”
After saying that, drink it all.
Zhu Yuanzhang was also generous, drank a drink with Xiao He, and said meaningfully: "My brother is quite well prepared." ”
This is obviously something in the words, of course, what is said is that Xiao He has already prepared to eat and drink, of course, it also means that Xiaohe has already been prepared, and who is he going to have to do with him.
Xiao He didn't hide it and laughed: "My brother's eyes are like torches, I know that my little action can't hide from your eyes." ”
"I know my brother, you look down on us lowly businessmen. But don't worry, I don't have anything to ask you for. ”
"When we do business, we pay attention to harmony and make money, and one more friend is more roads."
Zhu Yuanzhang asked knowingly: "What if I just don't want to do business with you?" ”
Xiao He continued to pour wine for Zhu Yuanzhang without care: "No matter what you do, brother, I have no opinion, junior brother." Even after getting off the train, it doesn't matter if any of us are anyone, and it is already an honor for the younger brother to be able to invite the elder brother to this meal. ”
"If there is a chance in the future, the elder brother still remembers today's incident, and the younger brother is naturally grateful."
Zhu Yuanzhang felt that this guy was really powerful.
Whatever is said, just pick up the nice ones, and those that may cause unhappiness are not mentioned.
If he didn't know who this guy was, Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help but wonder if he was born stupid.
"Just say this to you, brother, if we have the opportunity in the future, we will definitely not stand idly by and watch what we can help."
After saying this, Zhu Yuanzhang gloated and added in his heart.
"But I'm afraid you won't have that chance."
He is His Majesty the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, and this Xiao He is just an ordinary businessman.
After getting off the train, I am afraid that there will be no intersection between the two sides in this life.
If it is really fateful to let this Xiao He see him again, Zhu Yuanzhang really doesn't mind and gives this guy a little convenience.
After all, this is also what Zhu Yuanzhang saw, a more interesting person.
Of course, the premise is that this guy doesn't break any big rules.
If this is the case, even if he thinks this person is very interesting, Zhu Yuanzhang will definitely not have the slightest tolerance for him.
Of course, Xiao He didn't know Zhu Yuanzhang's thoughts, and when he saw Zhu Yuanzhang overjoyed, he immediately poured wine for Zhu Yuanzhang even harder.
"Brother Gaoyi, I am grateful."
