Chapter 11: The Swelling Shen Wanqian!
"Get up!"
Zhu Jun helped Niu Wuliu up, "You have to recruit some more government soldiers, you must be loyal, preferably veterans!" ”
He felt that Ying Tian was not safe, although those people did not dare to do anything to him openly, but what if the other party made a trick?
Just like this time, he was buried in the ancestral grave of the Xu family, and he died in vain, and it is not clear whether it is white or not.
"It's Your Highness!" Niu five or six ways.
"Qinghe, you can put a few clothes for the rest of the silk, and then find a few old mothers to come and serve you." Zhu Jun said.
"No need, Your Highness, Qinghe has clothes!" Qing He whispered: "Your Highness, although we have silver now, we still have to save some flowers." ”
"Okay, you will be my little butler in the future, but you have to learn this trick hard!"
Qing He's excited little face flushed, "Thank you, Your Highness!" ”
......
At the same time, Cai Wen ran into the palace.
In the Fengtian Palace, Lao Zhu was reviewing the twists and turns.
In the third year of Shenwu, Lao Zhu stipulated that there would be two court meetings a month, and once on the first and fifteenth days of the new year.
On weekdays, he was here frantically reviewing and revising, sometimes until late at night.
If Zhu Yu is here, he can help him share a lot of work.
"Long live the master, Cai Wen, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, asks to see you!" The big eunuch Wang Gou'er said.
Zhu Yuanzhang put down his pen, "Xuan!" ”
Wang Gou'er hurriedly trotted over, "Xuan Cai Wen is here!" ”
Soon, Cai Wen came in, bowed and kowtowed three times, "Weichen Cai Wen, see Your Majesty!" ”
"You don't supervise the work outside the city, what are you doing running into the palace?"
Cai Wen smiled bitterly and replied: "Your Majesty, the city wall outside Yingtianfu has been completed, to be precise, the piece built by Shen Wanqian was completed this morning. ”
A hint of surprise flashed in Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes, "So fast? The passage I asked you to supervise was completed? ”
Cai Wendao: "Your Majesty, Shen Wanqian is extremely rich, and he spent a lot of money to hire workers in order to build the city wall, and the number of people far exceeds that of the Ministry of Engineering, and now it has been completed. Then I asked Your Majesty to go and inspect it. ”
"What a Shen Wanqian." Zhu Yuanzhang said: "It really gave us a big surprise!" ”
Thinking of the bet with Shen Wanqian, Zhu Yuanzhang was extremely unhappy.
However, people contribute money and efforts, and he can't say anything, although he hates profiteers, but Shen Wanqian is okay.
"Let's go, let's see!"
Zhu Yuanzhang didn't even care about the twists and turns at this time, raised his feet and left, and said to Cai Wen: "You also go with us, let's see what the difference between what you supervised and what Shen Wanqian supervised!" ”
Yingtian City Wall, he mobilized a total of more than 200,000 people.
It's still not as good as Shen Wanqian.
Cai Wen heard Zhu Yuanzhang's anger, and hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, it's not that the ministers are lazy and slack, but that Shen Wanqian bought the materials for building the city at a high price in order to complete the construction of the city wall as soon as possible. ”
Hearing this, Zhu Yuanzhang became even more angry, you can't grab a businessman for a secretary of the Ministry of Industry?
Still here!
He pressed the fire and his face was expressionless, "Go and see!" ”
Cai Wen didn't dare to say more, and hurriedly followed.
Soon, Zhu Yuanzhang came to the city wall.
The whole Yingtian city wall is about 50 miles long, the lowest point is nearly five zhang, and the highest point is nearly seven zhang.
It is the first city wall in the world.
This is also Zhu Yuanzhang's precautionary measure, afraid of losing the war.
With this tall city wall, it can hold on for at least more than half a year.
Of course, he has always had the courage to swallow the world, and in another two years, he will definitely rub Chen Han and Da Zhou on the ground.
He looked at the majestic city wall, which was built extremely beautifully, and even every wall tile had a pattern.
After getting on the city wall, the entire Yingtianfu is in full view.
At this time, Shen Wanqian was already waiting here.
Shen Wanqian, who was in his forties, looked particularly shrewd, with a square face, beard and chest, and when he saw Zhu Yuanzhang, he quickly knelt on the ground, "The grass people knock to see Your Majesty!" ”
"Flat!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Shen Wanqian hurriedly got up, and then couldn't wait to say: "The grass people have lived up to Your Majesty's expectations, and the city wall has been completed as scheduled, please accept it by Your Majesty!" ”
"Cai Wen, have you accepted it?"
"Your Majesty, Weichen has already been accepted, there is no problem." Cai Wen said.
"Okay." Zhu Yuanzhang said: "Shen Wanqian, if you win, let's talk about what reward you want!" ”
What Shen Wanqian was waiting for was this moment, and what he wanted to do most was, of course, the imperial businessman.
The second thing to do is to want Lao Zhu Mengyin to be his descendants.
Although it is good to have money, it is more necessary to have people in the DPRK.
At this time, although he won Zhu Yuanzhang and won Zhu Yuanzhang's praise, his heart couldn't help but be a little swollen and a little fluttering.
But he also did not forget to be humble.
It's not easy to take what you want, but it's easy to take the initiative to reward, "The grass people don't dare to ask for rewards, these are what the grass people should do as the people of the great cause!" ”
"We have always had clear rewards and punishments, you spent a lot of money to build these more than ten miles of city walls, and you can't say that you can't reward them!" Zhu Yuanzhang thought for a while and said, "I heard that you have a son named Shen Dabao, so go to the prince's side and be a companion!" ”
The prince reads with you?
Shen Wanqian was overjoyed, no matter how rich he was, he would eventually die of old age.
In the end, the career created will be left to his son.
"The grass people thank Your Majesty instead of the dogs!" Shen Wanqian is grateful.
Zhu Yuanzhang said meaningfully: "This is what you deserve, be a good businessman, don't be that profiteer!" ”
"The grass people must be remembered."
Zhu Yuanzhang also knew very well that the reason why Shen Wanqian was so desperate was nothing more than to tie himself up.
This Shen Wanqian is a good hand at making money, the emperor is rich all over the world, but he has no silver, and his life is not easy.
Therefore, he suppressed the unhappiness in his heart and wanted to leave this Shen Wanqian to Zhu Yu.
In the future, if Zhu Yu wants to use money, he can get it from Shen Wanqian.
After speaking, he was about to leave, and at this time, Shen Wanqian said again: "The grass people have specially prepared a long live banquet for Your Majesty, please appreciate Your Majesty's face!" ”
He is a businessman, and he likes to talk about things at the wine table the most, but he forgets that Zhu Yuanzhang is the emperor.
Zhu Yuanzhang sneered in his heart, this Shen Wanqian thought very highly of himself, and he wanted to sit at the same table with him, which made him, who had suppressed his anger, angry again.
"Okay, lead the way!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Shen Wanqian was overjoyed and secretly glanced at Cai Wen.
Cai Wen also glanced at him.
Soon, he came to a chic and quiet courtyard, and after Wang Gou'er tested all the dishes for poison, Zhu Yuanzhang took his seat.
"Sit down!" Zhu Yuanzhang said.
Shen Wanqian felt that everything was decided, and Shen Dabao was named the prince's companion, thinking that Zhu Yuanzhang regarded him as his own, so he shirked it and really sat down.
Cai Wen also sat down, but only dared to be half next to him.
Seeing Shen Wanqian taking a seat, he didn't feel inappropriate.
After Shen Wanqian poured wine for Zhu Yuanzhang, he introduced the dishes on the table to Zhu Yuanzhang in detail.
talked and laughed, quoted classics, and said that Zhu Yuanzhang's face was full of laughter.
Exactly, Zhu Yuanzhang pointed to the pig's trotters not far away and said: "That's a good point, but we want to hear it, what kind of dish is it!" ”
