Chapter 375: Princess Lin'an
Outside the Jiangpu Supply and Marketing Cooperatives building.
Zhu Yunxi sat on a Taishi chair that he moved down from the second floor, looking at the few scum kneeling in front of him, and he only felt like a dream.
He never thought that Wang Dengke, the student he brought out, would be able to do such a dirty thing.
This Wang Dengke was originally a student he recruited from Guozijian, and he can be regarded as the first batch of students in the Hope Academy.
Although mathematics, physics and chemistry are very poor, the first-hand articles are still good, and they are the talents he intends to focus on.
However, he asked him to serve as the manager of Jiangpu County Supply and Marketing Cooperative, intending to train him and entrust him with important responsibilities in the future.
Unexpectedly, he would cause such a big disaster for himself for his own selfishness.
What he didn't expect was that Feng Chaoyang, the commander of Jiangpu County, would pat himself on the back through Wang Dengke, the manager of the supply and marketing cooperative.
Isn't this fart a little far away?
Wang Dengke saw Zhu Yunxi's face gloomy, and his heart fell directly to the bottom.
Relatively speaking, Feng Chaoyang was still full of puzzlement, feeling that he was obviously doing things for the emperor's grandson, why was he arrested?
"Are you really His Royal Highness?"
Zhu Yunxi's face sank like water.
"Yes!"
Feng Chaoyang hurriedly kowtowed when he heard this.
"Xiaguan Feng Chaoyang meets His Royal Highness the Imperial Grandson, His Royal Highness Chitose Chitose Chitose......
"What the lower officials did, but they were all at the behest of His Royal Highness, and the lower officials really didn't know what crime they had committed......
"By the will of Lone?"
"yes!"
"Wang Dengke told the official that the supply and marketing cooperatives are the property of His Royal Highness, let the official take care of one or two."
"Then the official took care of it......
When Zhu Yunxi heard this, he snorted coldly and looked at Wang Dengke.
"Wang Dengke, come and tell Gu what the hell is going on!"
Wang Dengke kowtowed when he heard this, and couldn't say a word.
Zhu Yunxi was even more angry when he saw him like this, got up from the Taishi chair, and kicked Wang Dengke for a while.
"Rubbish!"
"What did Lone tell you at the time!"
"In the first three years, I didn't expect the supply and marketing cooperatives to make money, you dared to buy goods privately, and also excluded other stores, did you eat bear heart and leopard gall?"
When Wang Dengke saw Zhu Yunxi say this, he wept bitterly and kowtowed on the spot to ask for guilt.
"Guilty of lowly duty!"
"I have failed His Highness's expectations, please punish His Highness severely, woo woo woo ......
Zhu Yunxi kicked him for a while, and then returned to the Taishi chair when he was tired.
"Check if you can cause any death!"
When Chang Jizu heard this, he retreated and ordered someone to go to Sili and Eight Towns to investigate.
When Wang Dengke heard this, he hurriedly said.
"Back to His Highness, he just wanted to make meritorious contributions to His Highness, and he didn't make any mistakes!"
"Meritorious?"
Zhu Yunxi was stunned when he heard this, and then thought of the fact that when he looked at the report before, the supply and marketing cooperatives made a profit of 100,000 taels a quarter.
It turns out that this guy thinks that making money for himself is a performance of meritorious service!
"Let's get a few people aside!"
"Bring a few businessmen at the gate of the county government to Lonely!"
"No!"
Not long after, four businessmen were brought to Zhu Yunxi, and Zhu Yunxi was furious when he saw that the shackles on several people had not been removed.
"Are you blind and don't see the shackles on them?"
"Come on, quickly remove their shackles!"
When Zhu Yunxi said this, he looked at the few people kneeling next to him, and saw that there were exactly four.
"Then bring the shackles to the four men on the side!"
"No!"
After the four businessmen untied the shackles, they kowtowed to Zhu Yunxi.
"The grass people visited the emperor's grandson, and the grass people confessed their sins, and they never dared to do business again.
Ask the emperor's grandson to give the grass people a way to live, woo woo woo woo ...... "
Zhu Yunxi only felt endless bitterness when he heard this.
I obviously want to do good governance, but how did I become like this when I got down there?
Zhu Yunxi got up again and personally stepped forward to help the four of them up.
"Let the four gentlemen suffer!"
"This matter is Lone's sin, and Lone will naturally go to the emperor's grandfather to ask for guilt."
"But before that, Gu Yao will take care of these scum and restore the prosperity of Jiangpu County!"
After Zhu Yunxi said this, he bowed deeply to several people, and frightened several people to kneel down again.
However, this time Zhu Yunxi did not personally help them, but ordered someone to give a few people seats, and personally asked what happened in Jiangpu County during this time.
"How many noble surnames?"
A businessman closest to Zhu Yunxi hurriedly got up and said.
"Don't dare!"
"If your surname is not king, Your Highness will call the grass people the old king......
"Shopkeeper Wang, dare to ask what kind of business you have?"
"Back to Your Highness, the grass people run a cloth shop in Zhujiang Town."
"Is business okay?"
"Back to Your Highness, it's okay before the supply and marketing cooperatives open......
When the shopkeeper Wang said this, he suddenly thought of something, and hurriedly knelt on the ground and kowtowed.
"Your Highness spares your life!"
"The grass people don't mean to deny His Highness, the grass people have bad intentions, and they have nothing to do with His Highness's shop......
Seeing this, Zhu Yunxi hurriedly explained.
"Don't be afraid!"
"Lonely's opening of a supply and marketing cooperative, not to steal business from you, nor to make money."
"Lone is now announcing that not only will your store be able to operate normally, but Lone will even raise the price of the supply and marketing cooperative's products to prevent them from competing with you."
"This ......"
When the shopkeeper heard this, he looked at the imperial grandson in disbelief.
In fact, they were already grateful for allowing them to continue to do business.
Now they just want to sell all the goods in the store, and then quickly move out of Jiangpu County to a place where there is no supply and marketing cooperative.
Now the imperial grandson told them that not only would they be allowed to continue doing business, but they would also take the initiative to raise the prices of goods in the supply and marketing cooperatives, giving them a kind of unreal dream.
"Imperial grandson, can't you make money like this?"
Zhu Yunxi smiled bitterly.
"Shopkeeper Wang, if Lone tells you, Lone never expects the supply and marketing cooperatives to make money, do you believe it?"
Hearing this, Shopkeeper Wang frowned and thought about it.
"Faith!"
"Your Highness is rich all over the world, and the entire Ming Dynasty is yours, so you naturally don't look down on this little money!"
Zhu Yunxi slapped his thigh with excitement when he heard this.
"Yes!"
"Lone really doesn't like this little money!"
When Zhu Yunxi said this, he pointed to a few scum kneeling with shackles on the side.
"Lone's reputation has been ruined by these scum!"
"If they really didn't kill anyone, Lone will punish them for a month!"
Hearing this, several businessmen hurriedly waved their hands.
"Your Highness, although the county lord and Manager Wang are domineering, they really did not force people to die."
"Please also ask Your Highness to be light......
Zhu Yunxi said lightly when he heard this.
"You don't have to intercede for them, don't worry, even if you don't kill them, you won't let them become officials here."
"A month after they have been put on display, you will never see them again!"
When several businessmen heard Zhu Yunxi say this, the expressions on their faces were obviously much more relaxed, and their subsequent words were a little more.
But no matter what Zhu Yunxi asked, they all agreed submissively and didn't dare to say a word.
Although Zhu Yunxi was very unhappy in his heart, he also knew that this was the country
Feeling.
If they dare to boast in front of them, they will instead order someone to investigate whether these people are the disciples of a certain royal palace.
"It's almost noon now, so let's have a meal!"
"Come on, go to the largest restaurant in the county to order a table of wine and food, and I have to entertain a few shopkeepers in person!"
When several shopkeepers heard this, they were so moved that they knelt on the ground and thanked them a thousand times.
They have lived for half their lives, and they have never had such a big face!
I don't know if the supply and marketing cooperatives don't provide catering services, but the business of restaurants and inns in Jiangpu County is good, and they quickly put out a good table for Zhu Yunxi.
After three rounds of wine and five flavors of food, the four shopkeepers also completely opened the conversation box with a little bit of wine.
"Your Royal Highness, the grass people know what you are doing with this supply and marketing cooperative, don't you just want the people to have a place to buy things cheaply, and a place where you can sell things at a high price without being exploited by the squires......
"But the shopkeeper you are looking for is really not good, not only did he not understand your hard work, but he only thought about how to make money!"
Zhu Yunxi heard the shopkeeper Wang say this, and hurriedly said.
"Yes, yes!"
"That's what loneliness means, dare to ask the shopkeeper Wang, if you were to be the shopkeeper of the supply and marketing cooperative, what would you do?"
"How?"
When the shopkeeper Wang heard this, he raised his neck and drank a glass of wine, and suddenly became high-spirited.
"It's not the grass people who blow to you, if we have such a big deal, backed by so many workshops in the capital, we can make money even if we lie down!"
This is also where Zhu Yunxi is most angry.
Although he forbade the supply and marketing cooperatives to buy and sell some needles and threads, he also gave the supply and marketing cooperatives a lot of exclusive goods.
For example, cheap industrial goods such as soap, matches, sickles, hoes, etc.
These things are not to mention the leading Ming, but they are in the leading position all over the world.
However, Wang Dengke, a waste, still felt that it was not enough, and he still grabbed that little bit of needle and thread business from the people at the bottom, which really threw away all his people!
"In doing business, you can't stick to a shop, you have to move......
"If the grass people become the managers of the supply and marketing cooperatives, they will send men to carry farm tools to the villages below to shout and sell, and the people will use the money to buy if they have money, and if they don't have money, they will exchange grain, poultry, chickens, chicken feathers and the like."
"If you don't want to hire too many guys, you can cooperate with the village chief, township chief, grain chief, etc., and let them run the business for you."
"Put some of the goods in the courtyards of people's houses, and the people buy or sell things in the village, and then every three to five days, send people down to settle the accounts, and then transport the collected goods back......
"The price of the things, it depends on what the imperial grandson wants to do!"
"If you just want to make money, then it is a little higher than the purchase price of the local squire, and the common people are willing to sell to you as long as they can sell a few more cents, even if they walk a few more miles!"
"If you want the people to benefit, then refer to the normal price reduction, remove the loss in the middle, and drop it by one or two percent."
"Moreover, the grass people do not recommend that you accept everything, only some local specialties, or the most in-demand goods."
"The grass people have been thinking about the supply and marketing cooperatives in the past few months, and they even deliberately drove a carriage to the capital and went to the main store of the supply and marketing cooperatives to take a look."
"The grass people feel that the emperor is in the next big game of chess......
"Imperial grandson, you just need to set a unified purchase price according to the needs of the local market, collect it from a cheap place, and ship it to a more expensive place to sell, there is no need to collect everything at all......
Zhu Yunxi listened to the words of the shopkeeper Wang, and felt endless emotion in his heart.
There are wise men in the countryside!
Zhu Yunxi's meal was eaten directly from noon to evening.
During the banquet, the four businessmen all spoke freely, pointed out that his supply and marketing cooperatives had many problems, and also provided him with a lot of business suggestions.
Zhu Yunxi ordered people to record them one by one, and after the end of the scene, he ordered people to give them to them
They sent them home.
The next day, the shopkeeper got up from the bed with a splitting headache, and just as he wanted to call someone to pour water for him to drink, he saw a black gauze hat placed at the head of the bed.
Wang Dazhi picked up this black gauze hat with a confused face, only to see that there was a set of green official uniforms underneath!
"What's going on!"
"Yun Niang!"
"No one!"
With Wang Dazhi's shout, a woman about thirty years old pushed the door in and bowed to Wang Dazhi.
"Congratulations to the concubine!"
"Congratulations on what?"
"Master, you forgot, yesterday the imperial grandson chatted with you very speculatively, gave you a nine-grade carp official uniform on the spot, and allowed you to study at Jingzhong Business School!"
"What?"
When Wang Dazhi heard this, he was so shocked that he fell directly off the bed.
Seeing this, Yun Niang hurriedly stepped forward to help, but was pushed away by Wang Dazhi.
"Don't help me, let me be alone ...... quietly"
"The imperial grandson appreciates me very much?"
"Give me a uniform?"
"Am I an official?"
"I'm an official, hahaha......
As Wang Dazhi recalled yesterday's events, the expression on Wang Dazhi's face became more and more exaggerated, and finally froze in a laughing scene.
"Sir?"
"Ahhh......h
"Master, you are talking, do you want to kill the concubine in a hurry?"
"Ahhh......h
Yun Niang saw her master like this, so anxious that she ran out to call Lang Zhong crying.
Two quarters of an hour later, Lang Zhong came to Wang's house with the medicine box on his back.
"Lang Zhong, take a look at my master, my lord just learned that he was an official, he laughed, and his face froze when he smiled......
Lang Zhong saw Wang Dazhi's behavior, and immediately knew what was going on. Now that I heard the words of the king's shopkeeper's daughter-in-law, I was more sure of my guess.
"It's okay, the shopkeeper Wang just dislocated his jaw with a smile, just wait for the old man to return to his place!"
Lang Zhong pinched Wang Dazhi's chin a few times, and then slammed the cold on his chin, only to hear a click, and Wang Dazhi's chin immediately returned to normal.
"Oops, it hurts me......
After Wang Dazhi's jaw was able to move again, he didn't dare to laugh, or even speak.
After drinking a large pot of tea, he happily put on his official uniform and smirked at the reflection in the water tank, thinking about one thing all over his head.
I'm an official?
I, Wang Dazhi, have also become an official!
After Wang Dazhi turned around the water tank, he hurriedly ran to the supply and marketing cooperatives to meet the emperor's grandson, but unexpectedly the emperor's grandson returned to Beijing early in the morning.
Wang Dazhi was full of regret when he saw this, and he could only kowtow to the sealed supply and marketing cooperatives to express his respect for the emperor's grandson.
After Wang Dazhi kowtowed a few times, the other three businessmen who had been given official uniforms also rushed over, and Wang Dazhi accompanied a few people to kowtow again, and then got up from the ground.
"The imperial grandson is benevolent!"
"In order not to delay our business, we even ordered the supply and marketing cooperatives to be closed!"
"I'm really ashamed, when I was flailed to the public a few days ago, I secretly scolded the emperor's grandson, I really deserve to die, woo woo woo......
When several people were self-reflecting and repenting, Chang Jizu walked over with a "pseudo" holy decree.
"The imperial grandson has a will!"
When Wang Dazhi and the others heard this, they hurriedly knelt on the ground respectfully.
"The Emperor's Grandson's Edict!"
"After chatting with Wang Dazhi and the other four people, Lone was deeply aware of the problems of the supply and marketing cooperatives and decided to temporarily close the supply and marketing cooperatives."
"Wang Dazhi is now appointed as the manager of Jiangpu Supply and Marketing Cooperative, Chen Jihe, Sun Shangrong, Geng Qinghe and others are deputy managers, and Wang Dazhi is the assistant manager of the supply and marketing cooperative.
"Chin this!"
After Chang Jizu read out Zhu Yunxi's edict, he also sent a copy of the admission notice of Jinling Business School to the four people.
The four of them looked at the five big characters gilded on the notice, and only felt the excitement they had never felt before.
Not only can they be officials, but they can also go to school?
The emperor's grandson's kindness to them is too great, and it is difficult for them to repay them even if they are broken!
"Dare to ask this lord, where is the imperial grandson?"
"The imperial grandson has a heavenly and generous kindness to us, we don't meet the imperial grandson in person, kowtow to the imperial grandson, we can't sleep well!"
Chang Jizu smiled slightly when he heard this.
"I can't say that!"
"The imperial grandson is the foundation of the Ming Dynasty, and his whereabouts must be kept very secret, and it is a felony for ordinary people to inquire about it, and those who dare to reveal the whereabouts of the imperial grandson are even more unforgivable!"
When several people heard this, they were so frightened that they broke out in a cold sweat on the spot.
"Your Excellency, forgive your sins!"
"We really just want to thank Your Highness, and we don't have the heart to harm Your Highness!"
Chang Jizu saw that several people were scared like this, and hurriedly explained.
"The official knows your thoughts, but the imperial grandson has something to explain before leaving, saying that if you want to thank you, you will study in the business school, come back and run the supply and marketing cooperatives for him, and be sure to make the supply and marketing cooperatives a store for the benefit of the country and the people!"
"Yes, yes......"
"Please give a message to the emperor's grandson, and say that we must live up to the emperor's expectations and run the shop for his old man!"
After Chang Jizu conveyed Zhu Yunxi's edict, he did not run to the city gate, but rode a fast horse towards the largest mansion in the city.
Zhu Yuanzhang's eldest princess, Princess Lin'an, and her concubine Li Qi were exiled to Jiangpu because of Li Shanchang's affairs.
Therefore, after dealing with the affairs of the supply and marketing cooperatives yesterday, he came directly to Princess Lin'an's Mansion to meet him and stayed here for one night.
When Chang Jizu came back to report, Zhu Yunxi was accompanying his aunt and uncle to breakfast.
Although Princess Lin'an was exiled to Jiangpu, she is the eldest princess of the Ming Dynasty after all, the daughter of His Majesty the Emperor, and no matter how bad her life is, she is much better than ordinary people.
What's more, she also inherited the property of Li Shanchang's family, as well as the estates, fields, shops, etc. that she has "worked hard" for many years.
If the emperor's daughter wants to start a business, she can make a name for herself in all walks of life.
Princess Lin'an is not a greedy person, and only runs a few restaurants and inns in Jiangpu County, plus a few granges.
Therefore, the supply and marketing cooperatives opened by Zhu Yunxi in Jiangpu did not have much impact on Princess Lin'an's business.
After Chang Jizu finished reporting, Princess Lin'an didn't wait for Zhu Yunxi to speak, so she hurriedly said a few words.
"Big nephew, don't blame your aunt for talking too much, if your uncle hadn't stopped me, my aunt would have written to you a long time ago to tell you what happened here!"
"Your supply and marketing cooperatives are really bad, not to mention that they don't make much money, and they have attracted the anger of the heavens, and they have lost the royal face!"
When Zhu Yunxi heard the number of her aunt, she could only nod her head like a good baby.
"What my aunt taught me is that my nephew has ordered someone to close down the supply and marketing cooperative, and plans to train the personnel before opening it after a while."
When Princess Lin'an heard this, she exclaimed on the spot.
"Huh?"
"You're going to open it again!"
"Eldest nephew, it's not my aunt who said you, how good it is for you to run the Minggang Chamber of Commerce and the Jinling Coal Chamber of Commerce, they are both good livelihoods with an annual income of more than one million, why are you engaged in this thankless business?"
Li Qi heard that his daughter-in-law was talking endlessly, and hurriedly coughed a few times.
Princess Lin'an heard her husband's cough and said angrily.
"You can take a break!"
"You're not tuberculosis, what's the cough in the summer!"
"This palace said a few thoughtful words to the eldest nephew, and something is in your way!"
Li Qi
Hearing his mother-in-law say this, he was so angry that he sat aside as soon as he dropped his chopsticks.
Compared with Princess Lin'an's pungency, he, a criminal minister, was much more cautious after that, for fear that his mother-in-law would say the wrong thing and cause the dissatisfaction of the future emperor of the Ming Dynasty in front of him.
Zhu Yunxi saw Li Qi's embarrassment, and hurriedly said to him with a smile.
"Don't worry, uncle, I like it very much."
When Li Qi saw Zhu Yunxi say this, the depression on his face eased slightly, and he showed a shy smile towards Zhu Yunxi.
"The imperial grandson has misunderstood, the criminal minister is not disgusted with Lin'an's words, but he is afraid of delaying His Royal Highness's meal......
Lin An snorted coldly when he heard this.
"What a criminal!"
"What sin do you have, and what sin does your father-in-law have!"
"It's not that my father is partial, he doesn't look down on me as a concubine, and for his own selfishness, he doesn't talk about his feelings at all!"
When Li Qi saw Lin'an say this, his face was as frightened as a blank piece of paper. He didn't care about any condescension, so he hurriedly went to pull Lin'an and covered her mouth with his hand.
"Say no more......
"If you talk nonsense again, our family will be gone......
When Lin'an heard her husband say this, she also realized that it was inappropriate, and closed her mouth in amusement.
It's just that when I thought of the tragic situation of the whole family, tears fell down my eyes, and I sat aside and sobbed.
Seeing this, Zhu Yunxi could only put down his chopsticks, and then sighed dejectedly.
"Auntie, uncle, you two don't have to act in front of me, although I can't overturn the case for Li Xiangguo, I will never offend you, let alone a few cousins!"
When Li Qi saw Zhu Yunxi say this, an expression of shame appeared on his face. Lin'an, who was crying, stopped crying, wiped away her tears in embarrassment, and complained to her husband on the side.
"I'll just say it, the eldest nephew values love and righteousness, so he is not a hard-hearted person like his father."
"If we have anything to do, just ask him directly, we don't need to make this whole thing!"
