Upper study.

"You mean, Lan Yu and Xu Da had a secret conversation after going down to court?"

Zhu Yuanzhang's eyebrows furrowed slightly, and he asked in a cold voice:

"What did they say?"

A little eunuch prostrated in front of Zhu Yuanzhang and reported to Zhu Yuanzhang what happened after today's dynasty.

Although Zhu Yuanzhang successfully conveyed the holy decree of the king and the border, Zhu Yuanzhang was also closely concerned about the reaction of the civil and military officials.

"The villain didn't hear it clearly, he only heard Yongchang Hou talking about a big deal."

"And yelling that I'm not stupid!"

The little eunuch kneeling at the bottom was the same Ma He who often sent orders to Li Jin.

"Pounce!"

Zhu Biao, who was next to him, couldn't help but laugh when he heard this.

Zhu Yuanzhang was expressionless, this blue jade was simply a bastard.

"Go, call Xu Da to us."

Xu Da's temperament is known to his Lao Zhu, he rarely interacts with people, he is a heavy minister but also a lonely minister, and he Lao Zhu likes this kind of character.

In addition, Xu Da and Zhu Yuanzhang are young and fellow villagers, and they have fought together for so many years, and the friendship between Zhu Yuanzhang and Xu Da is naturally very deep.

This summons of Xu Da is not a suspicion of Xu Da, but just to know what this bastard Lan Yu said to Xu Da.

Soon, Xu Da came to the upper study.

"Superior, I don't know what to call me?"

Xu Da saw Zhu Yuanzhang, and after giving his salute, he asked Zhu Yuanzhang directly to the point.

Xu Da has worked with Zhu Yuanzhang for many years, so he naturally knows Zhu Yuanzhang's temper and how to get along with Zhu Yuanzhang is the most suitable.

"It's not a big deal, it's just that your sister-in-law hasn't seen you for a few days, and she misses you a little, so let's have dinner together in the evening."

Zhu Yuanzhang seemed to be very kind.

"Okay, I've been hungry for the wine in the palace for a long time, but I'm too embarrassed to drink it."

"It's still my sister-in-law who knows that she loves me, she knows that my little brother likes to drink, and I know that I take my little brother with me when I eat."

"Do we feel sorry for those pots of wine? When you go back in the evening, get a few more pots! ”

"Hehe, thank you for the position, in this way, the little brother will be disrespectful."

....

At the dinner party.

Zhu Yuanzhang, Xu Da, Zhu Biao and Empress Ma drank at the same table, without the rules of the emperor meeting ministers, it was more like a family eating together.

"Xu Da, you haven't come to see me for so long, have you forgotten your sister-in-law?"

Queen Ma opened her mouth to blame Xu Da and made Xu Da blush.

"Where is my sister-in-law, my sister-in-law is good to me, I always remember it."

"Isn't this that you don't want to trouble your sister-in-law to cook? Every time I come, you cook for yourself, and I really don't want to go. ”

"Okay, you don't want to be cheap and sell well."

Zhu Yuanzhang interjected:

"Your sister-in-law will only cook for herself when you come."

"Even we can't eat her cooking."

"Come on, come on, have a drink first."

The atmosphere is extremely harmonious.

It looks like a family, and it's fun.

When the wine was half-drunk, Zhu Yuanzhang seemed to inadvertently mention it, and asked Xu Da:

"I heard that Lan Yu is going to do a deal for you? Don't know what the deal is? ”

Xu Da's heart suddenly burst and hurriedly looked at Zhu Yuanzhang.

After seeing Zhu Yuanzhang just eating casually, the worry in his heart slowly put down, and he pretended to be casual and said:

"It was said that a young man mentioned to him a big deal, and he could earn hundreds of thousands of dollars a year, and he wanted me to join the gang."

"He also said that the higher authorities also knew about it."

"Superior, you know what?"

When Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, he knew what was going on.

I'm sure that Li Jin's bastard is going to do a deal for Lan Yu again, I don't know what kind of deal it is this time.

"Buying and selling? We don't know. ”

Of course, the less people know about this kind of thing, the better, and making a fortune in silence is the king.

After all, build a high wall, accumulate grain, and slowly become the king!

Zhu Yuanzhang shook his head and said:

"You can earn hundreds of thousands of taels of business a year, and there is such a good thing?"

"If we knew, we would have done it a long time ago, how could it be his turn to Lan Yu?"

Xu Da stared at Zhu Yuanzhang with his eyes and asked:

"Superior, you won't lie to me, will you?"

"Want to swallow such a good deal to yourself?"

"How so? Who are we, can you not know? ”

Zhu Yuanzhang was stared at by Xu Da a little hairy, but his complexion did not fluctuate, and he said seriously:

"Lanyu, that kid, you don't know, your mouth is full of nonsense, and you don't have a word of truth."

Xu Da looked at Zhu Yuanzhang again, nodded slowly, and said:

"It seems that Lan Yu deceived me, and I have to beat him up tomorrow, and I have this bad breath."

"Just beat him, after all, they are all princes, don't let others see the joke."

Zhu Yuanzhang persuaded Xu Da, after all, if Lan Yu was beaten, he would definitely not be convinced, and he would find his own theory.

When the time comes, he will make a fortune in a muffled voice, but it will be exposed.

...

Late at night, after Xu Da left, Queen Ma couldn't help but ask Zhu Yuanzhang:

"Chongba, why don't you let Xu Da get involved?"

"If you really make money, we can bring Xu Da with us!"

Zhu Yuanzhang did not answer, but asked:

"Did you sell those mirrors from last time?"

"Not yet, the auction hall has just been built."

Queen Ma replied:

"But I have taken out the mirror many times in front of those dignitaries and nobles to show them."

"The response has been very enthusiastic, and I think it will be extremely hot on the day of filming."

After discussing with Zhu Yuanzhang, Queen Ma decided to conduct the auction according to the auction method in Shanghu County.

After all, the benefits of that model are obvious, and if a treasure like a mirror is auctioned, I am afraid that it may really be sold for a sky-high price.

These days, Queen Ma has asked people to set up an auction house on the one hand, and on the other hand, she has constantly invited dignitaries and nobles to come to the palace as guests.

There is only one purpose, which is to promote the products of her mirrors.

After those noble ladies saw the mirror, they really couldn't put it down, and they could even be said to be crazy about it.

All of them asked Queen Ma where they got it, and some people were even willing to pay three times the price for one.

However, all of them were rejected by Queen Ma, and Queen Ma was tight-lipped, but in Yingtian's upper circle, she already knew such a thing as a mirror.

Merchants throughout the city also heard the news and kept inquiring about the origin of these mirrors, but found nothing.

"In that case, let's wait until the mirrors are sold out, and then talk about anything else."

Zhu Yuanzhang decided to wait until the results came out before considering the matter of cooperating with Li Jin.

Before this, in order to avoid being taken first, Zhu Yuanzhang naturally did not want to see others cooperate with Li Jin.

"Let's see the results of the auction in a few days."
