Chapter 95 Zhu Yuanzhang returned to Beijing, and the matter of going to sea was leaked!
"Longjiang Shipyard?"
Li Jin looked at Zhu Yuanzhang with wide eyes, unable to believe his ears.
"Lao Huang, can you really sell Longjiang Shipyard to me?"
Early this morning, Zhu Yuanzhang took Zhu Biao and others to find Li Jin and discuss the matter of Longjiang Shipyard.
For Zhu Yuanzhang, the sooner the matter of Longjiang Shipyard is determined, the better, and the province will delay the shipbuilding in the future.
But I didn't expect Li Jin to jump up excitedly after hearing about Longjiang Shipyard, as if he had encountered a big pie.
When Zhu Yuanzhang saw Li Jin's appearance, he was not in a hurry, slowly picked up the teacup, took a sip, and said:
"Then it's up to you to see if you can afford it!"
Zhu Yuanzhang concluded that Li Jin must not have known the current situation of the Longjiang Shipyard, and he may not have known where he had heard of the reputation of the Longjiang Shipyard before.
Since this is the case, then Zhu Yuanzhang plans to slaughter Li Jin well.
The so-called God's endowment is not allowed, but it is to blame, this is Li Jin himself to make up, but he can't blame himself.
But Li Jin is not to blame at all, because Longjiang Shipyard is too famous.
This shipyard also had another name in later generations, Longjiang Bao Shipyard.
Although there is a difference of one word, when I hear this name, I can't help but think of the future Yongle Emperor and Zheng He, who traveled to the West seven times.
That's right, this shipyard is the shipyard that will make the treasure ships used in Zheng He's seven voyages to the West in the future.
This is simply what Li Jin dreamed of, with this shipyard, he will have the qualification to dominate the sea in Shanghai County in the future.
"Lao Huang, what conditions do you want, you say!"
Li Jin has already made up his mind that even if he is slaughtered by Lao Huang this time, he will take down this shipyard.
When Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, he did not hesitate and slowly stretched out a finger.
"A million taels?"
Li Jin's eyes seemed to pop out, and he exclaimed.
Zhu Yuanzhang saw that Li Jin seemed to have misunderstood what he meant.
Just about to explain, not a million, but a hundred thousand taels.
Li Jin grabbed Zhu Yuanzhang's hands excitedly, his face seemed to be smiling, and he said excitedly:
"Lao Huang, it's too kind to do business with you, one million is one million, you can't regret it!"
Zhu Yuanzhang was a little confused, what is the situation, is he still missing.
But when he thought of the dilapidated appearance of the Longjiang Shipyard, Zhu Yuanzhang felt that he had made a lot of money.
Zhu Biao next to him, Zhu Di looked at each other, not knowing what to say.
Longjiang Shipyard, they had all heard of it before.
In order to study the battle of Poyang Lake two years ago, Zhu Di even went to Longjiang Shipyard in person to see Chen Youliang's warships.
But after Zhu Di arrived at the place, he was directly dumbfounded.
The so-called Longjiang Shipyard has only one dock left, and some small fishing boats are repaired every day.
Not to mention building a big boat, even building a small boat, Zhu Di felt that it was difficult.
Just such a thing, it was sold for one million taels of silver, and Zhu Di felt that this Li Jin was really a big injustice.
Looking at Li Jin, who was beaming with joy and seemed to have taken a big advantage, Zhu Di could only look at him with mentally retarded eyes, not knowing what to say.
At this time, Queen Ma really couldn't stand it anymore, and said dissuasively:
"Master, if there is something wrong with this matter, let's take a long-term view."
Queen Ma felt that since she cooperated with Li Jin to do business, she couldn't pit him.
With such a thing, it was sold for a million taels, and she felt that her conscience was not going to go.
Who knew that as soon as she said this, Zhu Yuanzhang hadn't spoken, but Li Jin didn't do it:
"Madam, since we have already made up our minds, how can we go back on our word?"
"A businessman does business by virtue of credit."
"Say a million is a million, and now we'll sign the contract."
As soon as these words came out, everyone was dumbfounded.
Even Zhu Yuanzhang looked mentally retarded, and Queen Ma was even more angry and wanted to laugh, not knowing what to say.
Li Jin quickly took out a pen, ink, paper and inkstone, and began to write the contract in front of several people, seemingly intending to finalize this matter directly.
Zhu Yuanzhang shrugged his shoulders at Queen Ma, saying that this was Li Jin's will, and he had no choice.
Queen Ma turned her head angrily, she really didn't want to deal with these two rammers.
It didn't take long for the contract to be written, in duplicate, and Li Jin had already written his name.
Zhu Yuanzhang took the brush and wrote down his pseudonym very happily.
Li Jin excitedly took the contract in his hand and asked excitedly:
"Master Huang, when can I go to the capital to move the shipyard back?"
"Let's go back and report this matter to the emperor first, and after half a month, you can go to Yingtian."
Zhu Yuanzhang was full of nonsense and said:
"When the time comes, you go to the Blue Jade Mansion, and he can find us."
"Remember to bring the silver ticket when the time comes, and you can pay the money with one hand and deliver the goods with the other."
Seeing that Zhu Yuanzhang was so refreshing, Li Jin patted his chest directly and said:
"Don't worry, I'll be there on time."
After the matter was done, Zhu Yuanzhang was in no mood to stay any longer, so he got up and took Zhu Biao and others to leave.
.....
Three days later, Zhu Yuanzhang arrived at Yingtianfu.
As soon as I returned to the upper study, I heard Hu Weiyong outside the door asking to see him.
Zhu Yuanzhang's face was puzzled, and he didn't know why Hu Weiyong came to see him at this time.
"Let him in."
Zhu Yuanzhang sat directly behind the imperial case, and Zhu Biao stood beside Zhu Yuanzhang.
Soon, Hu Weiyong hurried to the hall, and when he met, he knelt on his knees and bowed.
"See the Emperor."
"Excuse me, Wei Yong, what's the matter with coming to us in such a hurry?"
Zhu Yuanzhang asked lightly:
"Don't even give us a chance to breathe."
Hu Weiyong suddenly showed a look of panic, and said urgently:
"The minister is terrified."
"It's just that the minister does have an urgent matter and wants to report to the emperor."
"Oh? Then you speak first! ”
"Now it is rumored in the capital that Li Jin, the county commander of Shanghu County, plans to go to sea to do business."
Hu Weiyong reported the news he heard in the past few days to Zhu Yuanzhang.
"Some people even say that Li Jin has been allowed by the emperor."
"There are rumors in the capital, the tide is surging, and the minister has no choice but to ask the emperor, is there really such a thing?"
Zhu Yuanzhang's originally relaxed face suddenly became gloomy.
He didn't expect that in less than three days, the news of going to sea had already reached the capital.
This must be those unscrupulous businessmen, spreading indiscriminately, wanting to force the imperial court to lift the sea ban.
There are even some people with ulterior motives who want to manipulate the people's hearts.
Zhu Yuanzhang's face was heavy as if he could drip water, and said coldly:
"It's nonsense, the sea ban is the national policy of this dynasty, and it will never be shaken."
"Those who propagate such remarks are people with ulterior motives and cannot be forgiven."
"Hu Weiyong, this matter will be handed over to you, we will give you three days, and after three days, we don't want to hear any more rumors about going to sea."
"Let's let Mao Xiang cooperate with you, you have to find out the real culprit behind the scenes, and we will cut him with a thousand knives!!"
When Hu Weiyong heard Zhu Yuanzhang's gloomy tone, he was not afraid, but was eager to try, and asked out loud:
"Then Li Jin, do you want to..."
"Li Jin is not allowed to move!! You just need to stop the rumors, and find out behind the scenes, and step back! ”
Zhu Yuanzhang directly shouted and repelled Hu Weiyong.
I didn't expect that as soon as I returned to Beijing, someone would find me unhappy, did he feel that the knife in his hand was unfavorable?
Hu Weiyong retreated, and at the moment of exiting the hall, he saw Xu Da walking over with Lan Yu.
Although he was puzzled, Hu Weiyong did not hesitate, just said hello to the two, and hurriedly left the study.
This was the first thing he entrusted to him when he took office, and he must not mess it up.
After Hu Weiyong left, Xu Da and Lan Yu walked into the upper study.
"The upper position, 20,000 soldiers of the Beijing camp, has been selected, please instruct from the upper position."
Xu Da saw that Zhu Yuanzhang's face was not very good, but he was looking for Zhu Yuanzhang at the moment for the sake of Shanghu County, so he had to come to report it.
Zhu Yuanzhang did not answer Xu Da's question, but said directly in a cold voice:
"We just heard Hu Weiyong say that the matter of going to sea was leaked, do you know who did it?"
When Xu Da heard this, his heart suddenly sudden, and he finally knew the seriousness of the matter.
You must know that Zhu Yuanzhang has long said that before the matter of going to sea is determined, it must not be spread to the outside world, and now it has become a storm in the city.
It seems that the capital is about to usher in another liquidation.
