Chapter 501: The Abominable Profiteer
The innkeeper who was not a nose and an eye just now, at this time, an old face smiled like a big chrysanthemum.
Soon, the owner of the voice entered the inn.
The man was in his forties and wore linen clothes.
But just by looking at the appearance, you can know that he is definitely not a poor person, and the feeling he gives Lao Zhu should be similar to the Xiao He he saw before.
After this person entered the inn, he saw Zhu Yuanzhang and others standing there, and he couldn't help but take a few more looks.
Waiting for the shopkeeper of the inn to greet him, the boss of Zhou smiled and hugged his fist at him: "Shopkeeper Feng's business is prosperous." β
At the mention of this, the innkeeper suddenly looked gloomy. When he turned his head to look at Zhu Yuanzhang and them, his face was suddenly full of disdain: "We have no room here, you go quickly." β
Zhu Yuanzhang had a cold face: "Shopkeeper, you're not right, right?" β
"When doing business, you always have to come first and come first. Obviously we came first, how can you rent it to someone else? β
That week, the boss was a sensible person, and when he heard Zhu Yuanzhang say this, he immediately said apologetically: "Shopkeeper Feng, it turns out that these people are also here to stay in the hotel." Since they came first, let them live first, but you can't ruin your reputation as Shopkeeper Feng, I'll just change to an inn. β
When Shopkeeper Feng heard this, his face turned green all of a sudden.
grabbed Boss Zhou and explained, "Boss Zhou, that's not what you said. β
"Although these guys came first, they don't want to live because they are too expensive."
"Even if there is no Boss Zhou, they will not stay with me."
Shopkeeper Feng appeased Boss Zhou in the shortest time, and then looked at Zhu Yuanzhang viciously and said, "I said that you are a person, you have nothing to do, right?" You don't want to live, how can I break the rules when I rent it to others? β
"If you dare to delay my business, believe it or not, I will go to the government to sue you?"
Good guys, in order to threaten Lao Zhu and them, even the official mansion moved out.
The government of this era is not so easy to enter.
And this shopkeeper Feng probably doesn't know, if he really reports to the official, it will be in Zhu Yuanzhang's arms.
He is Zhu Yuanzhang, the founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty.
If you really want to see the official, those people will have to kneel down to him.
And in this era, the civil prosecutors, whether you are justified or not, just hit the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China first.
Of course, this system is extremely unreasonable, and if Zhu Han knew about it, he would definitely correct it as soon as possible.
It's just that Zhu Han usually has too many things to do. Even if he can doppelgΓ€nger, up and down the Ming Dynasty, he is estimated to be too busy.
In addition, Zhu Han is not a history major, and he is not particularly clear about many basic legal provisions.
Therefore, this clause has not been corrected.
Ordinary people, just sue officials, what about Zhu Guo suing His Majesty today?
Drag it out and kill it, it's all light.
No matter how serious it is, it can even be regarded as a direct rebellion.
"Good ......"
Zhu Yuanzhang, who was angry, just wanted to say yes, but Queen Ma quietly pulled him: "Chongba, don't forget what we are here for?" β
"The innkeeper doesn't steal or rob, how the inn collects the money is his own business, and we shouldn't care about it."
"It's important to go to see Seven-Five now, and you can't be guilty of the general knowledge of a small shopkeeper."
Zhu Yuanzhang also understood that what Queen Ma said was true.
He went on patrol this time, everything else is secondary, and the most important thing is to see with his own eyes what the current Datong Mansion has become.
If your identity is exposed at this time, what kind of private service is it?
For his own plan, Zhu Yuanzhang forcibly suppressed the anger in his heart.
Turning around and leaving with the guards: "Let's go." β
As soon as he stepped out of the door of the inn, Zhu Yuanzhang heard the yin and yang mockery of the shopkeeper Feng behind him: "Some people, they can't even afford to live in the inn, so don't pretend to be rich." β
Zhu Yuanzhang paused, and he was almost about to go back, fighting to the death with this innkeeper who looked down on people.
But in the end, under the persuasion of Queen Ma, she gave up this tempting plan.
"Brother Ren in front, please wait."
Zhu Yuanzhang and the others hadn't gone far yet, and the boss Zhou, who had stayed at the inn before, ran out in a hurry.
Hate the house and the black.
Zhu Yuanzhang didn't have a good impression of the innkeeper, and even the tenants here were not very pleasing to the eye.
"Something?" Zhu Yuanzhang said in a stiff tone.
Boss Zhou smiled slightly: "This brother, I heard from Shopkeeper Feng just now, Brother Tai seems to feel that the price of his stay here seems to be a little too expensive." β
Zhu Yuanzhang had a cold face and a stiff tone: "What, isn't what we said wrong?" β
"Just these few broken wooden houses of his, if they are placed in Yingtianfu, no one will live in them at all, and it turns out that they will cost one or two silver?"
"If it weren't for the fact that there was a shop here, we all thought they were robbing."
The boss's temper was also very good that week, and he didn't even care much about Zhu Yuanzhang's attitude.
"Brother Tai doesn't know, it's not always so expensive here."
Zhu Yuanzhang's heart became more and more vigorous.
He thinks, is there something wrong with Boss Zhou this time? Or is this inn owned by him?
Otherwise, could he have eaten enough to support him, and ran out to explain to him the reason why the price of this inn is so high?
"What? You're not trying to say, we're not here at the right time, are you? I'm really sorry about that. β
Shopkeeper Zhou shook his head with a smile: "I know that Brother Tai is angry, but in fact, if I encounter this kind of thing, I am not happy in my heart." β
"The biggest reason why the price of this inn is so high is because it is now the terminal of the train."
"Everybody who takes the train, gets off here. And around, there is no other suitable inn for the time being. β
"The so-called scarcity is expensive, and there were not many people along the way, so the price of the inn was naturally not very high."
"But now there are more and more merchants coming and going, and the so-called scarcity is expensive, so the price is naturally not cheap."
Zhu Yuanzhang frowned, he didn't like the behavior of these businessmen who opened their doors to do business and shut up their money.
Even if he thinks that a businessman like Xiao He is actually not bad. Far from the kind of greedy businessman he imagined.
But this still can't change Zhu Yuanzhang's view of the overall class of businessmen.
I heard Zhu Yuanzhang say coldly: "It turns out that you went to great lengths to come and talk to me so much, just to teach me a lesson." Chang Mou, taught. β
Boss Zhou only felt that he couldn't cry or laugh: "Get off the stage, I really don't mean to go down again." β
"The reason why I said so much to Brother Tai is just to tell Brother Tai. The next one is not to compete for the room you have booked, and that's what the innkeeper priced. β
"And because there is no shortage of guests here, the shopkeeper Feng of the inn doesn't talk much about the rules, everything depends on the money."
"Brother Tai is new to the city, and he may not know much about the situation here. So I want to talk to my brother, and walk about two miles south from here, and there are many inns along the way. β
"Although the distance is relatively far, the size of those inns is a bit small. However, in terms of price, it should be much cheaper. β
"And the farther you go, the cheaper the price becomes."
After saying all this, Shopkeeper Zhou bowed deeply to Zhu Yuanzhang and them, and then turned around and returned to the inn.
His approach made Zhu Yuanzhang a little baffled.
He really couldn't understand the way these businessmen behaved.
To say that this shopkeeper is a warm-hearted person?
Zhu Yuanzhang was the first to believe it.
Zhu Hanke has said more than once that there is one businessman in the world, and all of them are unprofitable guys.
No matter what they do, they must have only one purpose, and that is to benefit themselves.
This doubt, until Zhu Yuanzhang and they found the hotel where they stayed again, Zhu Yuanzhang gradually figured it out.
Although he traveled in micro clothes this time, he was not wearing how gorgeous.
But beside him, there are many Jinyi guards and Ouchi masters.
These people are all selected from the entire Ming Dynasty, and they are good hands.
The kind of fierce momentum on his body can't be hidden if he wants to.
In addition, when the innkeeper threatened to drive them away, the guards were all by his side.
With this style, you can see at a glance that it is definitely not an ordinary family.
A businessman like Boss Zhou is the most accurate in looking at people.
Although he didn't know Dean Zhu's identity, he also knew that he was definitely not an ordinary person who could take so many guards out here.
The most important thing for a businessman is to make money in harmony.
No matter what the reason, as long as you can not tie up with someone, then you should never tie up with someone.
It's like everything.
If you want to accomplish something, you don't know how long you have to be busy and how much manpower, material resources and energy you have to invest.
But if you want to break something, maybe just one sentence is enough.
Therefore, even if this matter has nothing to do with Boss Zhou, it is the personal behavior of Shopkeeper Feng.
However, Boss Zhou still came out to take a good relationship with Zhu Yuanzhang, which can be regarded as putting an end to all possible enmity.
"Qiwu is right, these businessmen really have interesting things."
"What's wrong?" Queen Ma came in with a basin of water and asked Zhu Yuanzhang to wash.
Seeing Zhu Yuanzhang sitting on the bed and sneering, he couldn't help but ask curiously.
The two are married couples, so naturally there is nothing to hide.
Zhu Yuanzhang told Queen Ma everything that happened just now.
It wasn't until Zhu Yuanzhang explained clearly that Queen Ma suddenly realized: "So that's the case, no wonder that Boss Zhou has to run out for a special trip, these people are really careful enough." β
Zhu Yuanzhang said approvingly: "It's right for him to do this, some people may not care once or twice, and maybe they won't be able to meet people who care about it three or five times." β
"However, if you meet someone with this tendency, you will probably lose a lot."
"In order to make money, these businessmen can be regarded as exhausted."
Zhu Yuanzhang said, washing his face vigorously. Some warm sleep dispelled some fatigue and made Zhu Yuanzhang's spirit recover a lot.
"As the Seventh Five-Year Plan said, it seems that the country is really not good without businessmen. However, it is absolutely necessary to be wary of these people. For the sake of money, these people can do anything. β
Nothing was said all night.
Although the environment of the inn is not good, Lao Zhu Zhi did not feel any dissatisfaction.
Anyway, it's also a wooden house that can shelter from the wind and rain, isn't this much better than when he was fighting?
The next day, after a simple wash, Zhu Yuanzhang continued to march towards Yanjing.
This time, Zhu Yuanzhang was not in a hurry.
Just come out with Queen Ma and enjoy the mountains and rivers.
As for the disaster in Datong, Zhu Yuanzhang is not worried at all.
His own brother, King Zhu Hanren of England, is in Datong Mansion. Lao Zhu has always felt that Zhu Han's ability to govern the world is more than a hundred times stronger than him.
It is precisely because of this that Lao Zhu has moved more than once to pass on the throne to Zhu Han.
It's just that Zhu Han has no interest in the throne at all, and Zhu Yuanzhang can only give up.
Anyway, with Zhu Han here, Zhu Yuanzhang is not worried at all, the situation over there in Datong.
As for the reaction from the courtiers' side...... Just leave it to your eldest son Zhu Biao to deal with.
If it was someone else's business, Zhu Yuanzhang might still worry that Zhu Biao would not handle it well.
But it is about the British King Zhu Han, and Lao Zhu is not worried at all.
Zhu Biao's respect for Zhu Han is even greater than that of his father.
Whoever wants to stop Zhu Han, the lord said that he will never let him go.
As Zhu Yuanzhang thought, today's morning is up, and Zhu Biao is going crazy at this time.
"Enough, Hongu doesn't want to hear this."
"Regarding the reason for the high grain price in Datong Mansion, the king of England has already written a chapter, and it was agreed by his father and son."
"Facts have also proved that it is precisely because of the high grain prices in Datong Province. Now all the grain merchants are desperately trying to deliver grain to Datong. β
"According to the statistics of the Ministry of Finance, the grain in Datong Province and the grain being transported to Datong Province has exceeded 5 million stones."
"There is so much food in it, even if the price is a little higher, there will be no food crisis in Datong Mansion at all."
Seeing that those ministers seemed to want to say something, Zhu Biao waved his hand decisively: "Ladies and gentlemen, this matter was approved by my father and the emperor himself. β
"If you question King Zhu Han, aren't you questioning the father of the palace?"
Zhu Biao's voice fell, and a series of gasping sounds came from the Jinluan Palace.
Why didn't you see that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was so ruthless?
The problems on Datong's side couldn't attack Zhu Han, and these ministers began to dig over old accounts again.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, the talent of the King of England, we naturally admire it very much."
"It's just that sometimes, the more talented you are, the bigger the mess you cause."
"Just like Wang Mang of the Han Dynasty."
"Before he usurped the throne, he was a virtuous minister praised by all. What the result is, His Highness should also be clear. β
"When I was in Yanjing before, those people suddenly shouted long live, there must be some conspiracy here."
"Otherwise, how could ordinary people who don't understand anything be so uniform?"
