At the beginning, in order to get high-yield crops, Zhu Houyu did promise a generous gift to the fire Yasan, and now he wants to accompany the fire Yasan to Manraka, of course, he will not break his promise, otherwise the fire Yasan on the road has a little bad intentions, and he Zhu Houyu will not be able to eat and walk around.

Zhu Houxi pretended to be unhappy and asked, "How can this king forget his promise to his friends, who do you think of this king?" ”

The fire man Yasan didn't know Zhu Houxi's character, and thought that Zhu Houyu was really angry, so he immediately began to apologize, for fear that Zhu Houyu would no longer give him any compensation, if that would be the case, he would be busy for the past three years.

Seeing the fire man Yasan hurriedly apologized, Pires followed to apologize, Zhu Houxi forced a smile and said: "Okay, my friend, this king is just joking with you, get up quickly, the ground is cold." ”

After being forgiven by Zhu Houxi, Yasan, who knelt on the ground and apologized, stood up with the help of Pires.

The Fire Warrior Yasan showed a smile that was more ugly than crying, and said, "Temple...... Your Highness is so humorous. ”

Zhu Houyu didn't want to continue to fight with the fire Yasan and Pires, so Zhu Houxi turned his head and asked Lu Song to receive the ingredients brought by the fire Yasan and Pires.

Then he said to the burning man, Yasan, "I wonder if you are short of salt in Manraka? ”

Of course, Yasan the Fire knew what salt was, in the era of the fifteenth century, salt was scarce, not only the Ming Dynasty was very strict in its control of salt, but even the Franco's control of salt was equally harsh, because it was too scarce.

When Zhu Houxi saw the expression of the fire man Yasan, he knew what the answer was, and continued: "This king has some private salt, I don't know if you are interested?" ”

"Yes, yes, yes."

Before the fire man Yasan could speak, Pires next to him opened his mouth to speak first.

Zhu Houxi wanted this effect, and his face immediately became embarrassed.

"What's the difficulty for Your Highness?"

Seeing Zhu Houxi like this, in order to get salt, Pires, who couldn't hold his breath, asked directly.

"There is no difficulty, but this king has a bit of salt, in addition to the return gift promised to the fire man Yasan, there are some that I want to take to Manraka to sell."

Hearing that there was a lot of salt in Zhu Houxi's hands, Pires and Fire Yasan both had greedy looks in their eyes.

"Of course, after that part of the salt is sold in Manraka, this king will still give the two of them some benefits, please rest assured of this."

Hearing Zhu Houxi's promise, the Fire Man Yasan immediately said: "Your Highness, don't worry, if Your Highness can have salt, no matter how much we are willing to buy it, but I don't know the price?" ”

When talking about the price, the words of the fire man Yasan obviously paused, and when he gave Zhu Houyu an offer, Zhu Houyu did not answer, which made the two of them a little confused, and they didn't know what medicine Zhu Houyu sold in the gourd.

Pires asked, "But in terms of price, what is the difficulty of His Highness?" ”

Zhu Houxi said quietly: "Forty percent." ”

The meaning of forty percent is actually very simple, that is, to add forty percent of the profit to the price of Manraka salt, which can be said to be quite black-hearted, but even so, the fire man Yasan and Pires did not intend to give up the salt in Zhu Houxi's hands.

"Yes, your Highness can say as much as you want."

Zhu Houxi saw the joy of the two of them, and immediately continued: "This king is not an insatiable person, there are two out of these four percent. ”

Hearing that there was one of their own in these forty percent, the minds of the fire man Yasan and Pires immediately became active, this is not a small amount, as long as the amount of salt in Zhu Houxi's hand is enough, plus the daily consumption of the franc machine, the two of them will definitely be able to earn a lot of money in the future.

"Your Highness."

"You don't have to thank you, there is an old saying in the Ming Dynasty, it is convenient for others and for yourself, I just hope that if the two of you are convenient in the future, don't make this king embarrassed."

"Of course not, of course not."

At this time, Zhu Houyu is the God of Wealth in the eyes of the Fire Man Yasan and Pires, where do they dare to make Zhu Houxi dissatisfied.

"That's very good."

After that, Zhu Houxi entertained the two of them to dinner, and showed the sea salt refined by Tianjin Wei to the two of them.

Neither of them had ever seen such snow-white table salt, so they couldn't help but ask on the spot: "Your Highness, I don't know how to make this salt, can you teach it to us?" ”

Zhu Houxi smiled and said: "This is the king's unique secret recipe, of course, it can't be easily taught to others." ”

The Fire Warrior Yasan was unwilling to continue to ask: "But someone in the Ming Dynasty said that it is better to give people and fish than to give them fish. ”

Zhu Houxi retorted: "The kind you are talking about is a professor, but this king is a businessman, as a businessman, you must pay attention to maximizing profits, if this king teaches you all the methods of salt making, how will this king make money at that time?" ”

Seeing Zhu Houxi's resolute attitude, the two knew that it would be useless to argue any longer, but it would make Zhu Houxi unhappy, and they might lose the opportunity to buy salt from Zhu Houxi's hands at that time.

Zhu Houxi was even more satisfied when he saw that Yasan and Pires knew the current affairs so well, because what Zhu Houxi wanted was to rule Yi and make these two people his vanguard in conquering the Franc Machine.

The guests and hosts enjoyed a lunch, and Zhu Houxi even drank two glasses of wine for the first time, while Yasan and Pires were carried back to the inn.

"Your Highness, the things have been counted."

After the dinner, Lu Song immediately ran to report to Zhu Houxi.

"Do you have everything this king wants?"

Lu Song replied decisively: "It's all there." ”

"According to the method arranged by the king in advance, the things will be transported back to Anlu for cultivation, and the corn will be sent to the Liaodong Dusi for cultivation."

As early as when Zhu Houxi asked Huo Yasan to collect these high-yield crops, he had already thought about these crops and where to promote cultivation according to their respective habits.

"Yes."

Lu Song agreed and turned to leave, and Zhu Houxi began to pack up his clothes again and rushed to the leopard room.

Zhengde learned that Zhu Houxi had come to ask for a meeting, and directly asked Wei Bin to call him in.

"How many times have I said that if you want to come, just come in, don't keep all that red tape."

Zhu Houxi explained with a smile: "No matter what the younger brother says, he is also the king of the Ming Dynasty, the eldest brother is the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, if the younger brother does not abide by some rules, the following imperial historian is afraid that he will not let the eldest brother's ears be clean." ”

Zhengde didn't dwell on this matter, and asked casually: "Have you seen the envoys of Manraka and Franc Ji?" ”

In the capital, if you want to hide anything from Zhengde's ears and eyes, it is simply impossible, and Zhu Houxi didn't think about hiding anything from Zhengde, after all, everything he did was for the Ming Dynasty.

Zhu Houxi said truthfully: "I have seen it, and my brother also talked to them about a business." ”

Zhengde was surprised: "Talking about business? ”
