Chapter 188: Return to Datong Mansion

Zhu Gui packed up his things overnight, and when he was leaving, he got up and asked someone to send it into the palace, and when Zhu Yuanzhang got it, Zhu Gui had already gone out of Nanjing City for hundreds of miles.

"This kid, didn't I just ask him for a little more money? I fled back to Yunzhou in such a hurry, alas, I still want to repair the palace. ”

Zhu Yuanzhang touched the white beard on his chin and said leisurely, which made the chief eunuch on the side hear it in a cold sweat, but he didn't dare to say anything, he could only feel happy in his heart for the acting king who had already left.

Zhu Gui, who was sitting on the sweaty BMW, felt very comfortable at this time, and this rare leisure time was what he wanted the most.

"Lord Wang, how far are we to return to Yunzhou?" Just leaving Nanjing City more than two hundred miles away, Xu Miaoqing couldn't wait to ask Zhu Gui.

"If we were to travel all the way at the current pace, it would take about four days." Zhu Gui thought for a moment and replied.

"The emperor won't send troops to find us back after he finds out about us, right?" Xu Miaoqing tilted her head and said.

"This king didn't break the law, why should he arrest this king back? What's going on in your little head? Zhu Gui asked helplessly.

"I'm thinking about the delicious food in Yunzhou, I've been out for so long, I don't know what the family is doing now." Xu Miaoqing said with a smile.

Zhu Gui could only shake his head helplessly.

On the next journey, they were not in a hurry, and every time they encountered a town, Zhu Gui would stay in the local area for half a day with the need to Qinghui, one to inspect the folk customs and specialties here, and the other to ease Xu Miaoqing's heart.

This made Xu Miaoqing very happy, and the relationship between the two heated up further.

Finally, six days later, Zhu Gui returned to Datong Mansion.

He had already sent someone to inform the local officials in advance, so when Zhu Gui and his party had just arrived at the boundary of Datong Mansion, there were already officials from Datong Mansion waiting here.

Zhu Gui's series of actions in Nanjing had already been quickly transmitted back to Datong Mansion through the network of Datong Chamber of Commerce, which also made the local officials and gentry of Datong Mansion admire this little prince even more.

They seem to have regarded the acting king as a celebrity in front of Zhu Yuanzhang.

Zhu Gui was also accustomed to this kind of occasion, and he didn't feel much disgusted, but he didn't say too much, handed over the work of socializing to his personal guards, and then quickly took Xu Miaoqing back to the Daiwang Mansion.

The familiar courtyard and scene made Zhu Gui quite emotional, although he had only been away for almost two months, he had a feeling of being in a different world.

"Finally home." Xu Miaoqing was the first to rush into the yard, she first found the bicycle standing in the yard and walked under a tree and began to ride.

The subordinates of the Acting Palace's Mansion waited on both sides, respectfully waiting for Zhu Gui's orders.

"Steward Wang, go and get ready, I'm afraid there will be a lot of distinguished guests tonight." Zhu Gui instructed that these were inevitable entertainments.

"Yes, Lord Wang, the old man will go and prepare." Steward Wang left with the help of his subordinates.

Because of the frequent cleaning of the subordinates, the palace was not much different from when Zhu Gui left.

Zhu Gui came to the study, which was half of his work area, and at the same time he also instructed his guards not to let anyone disturb him, except for the princess Xu Miaoqing, of course.

Then Zhu Gui began to sort out and experience the harvest in these two months.

The biggest thing is naturally the experience points of the system, he has now unlocked the system's advanced shop, which can be exchanged for many items of higher value, including even high-end goods that are rare to see in the future, such as cars, and of course, airplanes and tanks.

However, these things are not only not cost-effective, but they also require Zhu Gui to unlock the core technology skills of the system, and Zhu Gui has not even unlocked the steam engine, the pre-skill of this core technology skill.

This made him a little distressed, but fortunately he still had time, so he was not in a hurry, and with what he had in hand now, he could cope with most of the crises.

However, he still redeemed some items that didn't require the upfront core technology.

Zhu Gui was busy when he heard the sound of Xu Miaoqing and his guards talking outside.

"Is the prince in there?"

"Back to the princess, the prince is inside."

"Alright, you guys stay on guard over here."

After Xu Miaoqing finished speaking, he pushed the door in, "Lord, the banquet is ready, and the guests are almost here, now it's time for you to come out and give a speech." ”

Only then did Zhu Gui realize that he had been busy for more than two hours.

"Okay, this king will change his clothes, and he will go out." Zhu Gui agreed.

When Xu Miaoqing heard this, not only did she not turn around and leave, but walked to Zhu Gui's side and said, "Concubine, come and help the prince change his clothes." ”

Concubines? Zhu Gui was obviously stunned when he heard this word, and then looked at Xu Miaoqing, who was already crimson.

It seems that she has become accustomed to being a princess, and thinking of this, Zhu Gui also showed a knowing smile.

Finally, with the help of Xu Miaoqing, it took Zhu Gui twice as long as usual to change his clothes, and then the two appeared in the hall of the palace hand in hand.

"You've been waiting for a long time." Zhu Gui said to everyone in the living room.

These guests are all bureaucrats and wealthy families in Datong Mansion, and they are all more or less connected with Zhu Gui's Datong Chamber of Commerce, so their interests are all in a relationship of prosperity and loss.

Zhu Gui briefly talked about his two months in Nanjing and the war with the Mongols, but the others listened with shock.

They could imagine how dangerous it was under Zhu Gui's calm words, and even so, the little prince in front of him still achieved unprecedented success, which showed the strength of the other party's means.

After the polite words were spoken, the guests and hosts sat down one after another, and the banquet finally began.

The guests gave gifts to cheer Zhu Gui up, and the music and dancing girls also began to perform.

The banquet lasted until the evening, and Zhu Gui and Xu Miaoqing left the table and returned to the backyard, but the banquet did not end, but others in the palace began to preside over the banquet.

The next day, the banquet was still not over, and in the palace and in the three streets of Datong Mansion, a flowing water banquet was set up to feast the people of the city.

This is also a rare grand occasion in Datong Prefecture, and even the Mongols in the steppe have received the news, and all tribes have sent envoys to congratulate Zhu Gui and send gifts.

The banquet lasted for three days, and Zhu Gui finally relaxed completely and began to prepare to continue to strengthen the construction of Datong Mansion's business empire.

On the fourth day after returning to Datong Mansion, Zhu Gui summoned more than a dozen major representatives of the Datong Chamber of Commerce and asked them to give a detailed account of the operation of the Datong Chamber of Commerce during the past two months.
