Chapter 57: Empty-handed
"Come on! Don't shoot the sycophants! ”
"With this effort, the brothers should think about it, how to contract the big project of Jinling City Wall!"
Zhu Ying waved his hand and interrupted impatiently.
"It's a trivial matter, just leave it to me!" Lao Luo patted his chest and reassured.
"In addition, in addition to the city wall of Jinling, in the future, our water conservancy projects in Daming will also be yours of Zhu Gongzi!"
"If the old man in the Ministry of Industry dares not agree, the old man will enter the palace to face the saint, if Your Majesty does not agree, the old man will die in the morning court!"
Lao Luo said while looking at Zhu Yuanzhang beside him.
Your Majesty, you have to shake your head, and I will die to show you now.
"Stop bragging!"
"Just you, a sesame official, isn't this son looking down on you, do you know how to enter the palace gate?"
"Master Zhu, you really don't have to worry about this, it's just that this business, how to start?"
Liu Bowen still stood up to solve the siege, I was really worried that an honest person like Lao Luo would accidentally leak his mouth and expose his true identity, and when His Majesty was angry, he would also suffer.
"No hurry!"
"Now it's just a proof that the quality of this cement is not to worry, but there is still a tricky problem."
"If this problem is not solved, this business will not be able to be done."
Zhu Ying shook her head.
"What's the problem?"
Zhu Yuanzhang frowned, he really couldn't figure it out.
"The question is, who should do this business!"
"You don't do it?"
Lan Yu was stunned for a moment and blurted out.
"Originally, I could do it, but now, I can't do it."
"The law of the Ming Dynasty is clearly written, and those who are officials in the court are not allowed to engage in commerce."
"If you violate it, you must know the consequences, right?"
Zhu Ying sighed, took out the gold medal from his arms, and lit up.
"I said what's going on, that's what happened!"
Everyone couldn't help but nod their heads, the officials of the Ming Dynasty, there are only two ways to make all their income.
The first is the imperial court's wealth, and the second is the land under his name, and the rest of the income can only be illegal. ,
As for the consequences, it depends on the mood of Emperor Hongwu.
"What then?"
Lan Yu had a question mark on her face.
This thing is so good, hurry up and get it done!
If you don't get started, why should I go to the prairie to cut tartar?
"So, after thinking about it, Ben Gongzi decided to look for a white glove!"
Zhu Ying thought about it and said slowly.
"White gloves?"
"What's that?"
When everyone heard a new term, they immediately asked curiously.
"As the name suggests, it is a pair of white gloves that you can wear when you are working and remove them when you are done so that you don't get your hands dirty."
Zhu Ying explained with a smile.
"You just say it's a scapegoat, don't you get it?"
"That's it, return the whole new word!"
Zhu Ying smiled awkwardly: "You can also understand it like this." ”
"Isn't that a trifle?"
Lao Luo said nonchalantly.
These bigwigs in front of you, it's not a matter of minutes to help you find a scapegoat?
"It's not just a random person on the street, and it's not easy to find this kind of person to meet my conditions."
Zhu Ying did shake his head.
"First of all, this is not a small project, so naturally you need to deal with different people, inside and out."
"Therefore, this person must be able to observe words and feelings, be sophisticated, and preferably have an ordinary identity."
"The second point is that the imperial court will definitely not hand over such a big project to an unknown person casually."
"Therefore, this person also needs a certain amount of popularity, and not only that, but he also needs a little money in his hand that is enough to turn around."
"Finally, and most importantly, the identity of the person must be a registered businessman."
Without waiting for everyone to ask, Zhu Ying took the initiative to say it.
When Zhu Ying's words landed, everyone couldn't help frowning.
Even Zhu Yuanzhang frowned, Da Ming wants to find such a person, it is really not easy to find!
Especially the last point, which is even harder.
After Zhu Yuanzhang founded the People's Republic of China, the division of household registration was linked to occupation.
And this businessman is in the Ming Dynasty, that is, the existence of non-streaming, not only can not participate in the imperial examination for generations, but also the social status is not as good as that of beggars.
The rules in the Hongwu period were extremely strict, completely different from the Wanli in the back, so Zhu Yuanzhang followed the law, and the implementation of the top and bottom was extremely strong.
Don't say you have silver, you just have a lot of money at home and can't spend it, as long as you are a merchant, you can't even wear clothes casually.
If you want to go out, it's not impossible, but you have to wear linen clothes.
Otherwise, you will wait to be dragged to tea by Jinyiwei.
A few businessmen had drunk too much before, and they had to get stuck, and within three seconds, they were dragged by the brocade guards to cut off their feet and march on the street.
It is precisely because of this that the people of the Ming Dynasty look down on businessmen from the bottom of their hearts.
This also leads to those who are a little famous, no one wants to engage in business, and those who have a little silver want to get rid of the identity of merchants.
Hey?
Pregnant!
Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes suddenly lit up, and he remembered someone.
"What!"
"You don't have to worry about this, I promise to do it for you!"
Zhu Yuanzhang immediately laughed when he thought of this.
Because he suddenly thought of Shen Wansan.
"That's fine!"
Zhu Ying nodded.
When everyone talked about this, they took their leave.
When Lao Luo was leaving, he still wanted to be a baby, so he turned his head back with a piece of it.
Zhu Yuanzhang was in a happy mood, and when he returned to the palace, he asked the imperial dining room to make some side dishes and prepare to drink some wine to celebrate.
"Your Majesty! Your Majesty! ”
"It's a big deal!"
"His Royal Highness King Yan......"
was drinking a little wine, but suddenly there was a noise outside the door.
"What's wrong? What a fuss! Is the fourth child back? ”
"Your Majesty! Your Majesty! His Royal Highness King Yan beat up his grandson! ”
The eunuch said anxiously.
"What's that?"
Zhu Yuanzhang woke up instantly.
Did Zhu Laosi fight with his grandson?
Not to mention the difference in age between these two people, there is a lot of difference in age!
"Is it a bad beating? Is Taisun injured? Where will Zhu Laosi be? ”
Zhu Yuanzhang frowned.
Zhu Xiongying, the eldest grandson of the emperor, is still outside the palace, so Zhu Laosi must be Zhu Yunwen, Zhu Yunwen is only five years old at this time!
Zhu Laosi is in his early twenties!
What's more, how many years has this Zhu Laosi chopped Tartar on the prairie?
Zhu Yunwen naturally cannot be Zhu Laosi's opponent.
"Back to Your Majesty, the slave and maid don't know."
"The slave and maid heard the report from the subordinates, so they were in a hurry, so they rushed over."
Zhu Yuanzhang dropped the wine glass in his hand and stared!
"Lead the way!"
As soon as I arrived at the gate of the palace, I saw Zhu Laosi, who was holding Zhu Yunwen's neck with one hand, and snatched the lollipop from Zhu Yunwen's hand with the other.
