Lao Zhu didn't know what he was thinking.

Zhu Bai said: "Father, the queen will always be the eldest mother of the son. But after all, Concubine Hu Shun gave birth to me, and you know that Erchen has ...... several times."

Lao Zhu nodded slightly: "She can't stay with you for too long." Come at night when no one is around. ”

Zhu Bai became happy: "Father Xie." ”

That's more than when I won a gold medal.

Old Zhu Cheng leaned at him: "Look at you like that, you are flying outside on weekdays, fighting this, killing that, and sticking to your mother when you go back to the palace." Don't be ashamed. ”

Zhu Bai salivated: "Isn't the minister there also sticking to his father?" ”

Lao Zhu's face was hot for no reason: "Go, who wants you to stick." ”

------

Zhu Li has a pair of red phoenix eyes, thin lips and pointed face, and his eyebrows fly obliquely into his sideburns, which is much more delicate than Zhu Rong, and looks more like Concubine Li Shufei.

Whether it is placed in modern or ancient times, it is a proper beautiful man.

Unlike other brothers who led Zhu Bai when they left the palace for fear that he would run away, Zhu Li didn't care about Zhu Bai at all, and he looked indifferent.

Zhu Li was originally wandering out of the world, feeling that Zhu Bai was looking at him, and glanced at Zhu Bai back to his senses: "Why is the twelfth brother looking at me like this?" ”

Zhu Bai smiled and replied, "What will the third brother take me to play today?" ”

Zhu Li said lazily: "Whatever you want, play whatever you want." ”

Zhu Bai smacked his lips: Tsk, why is this guy lazier than me. It doesn't matter if the sky falls.

Since it was renovated a while ago, the streets look much cleaner and fresher.

The sheds, pits, and piles of soil that used to be built indiscriminately are all gone.

Although the bazaar-filled Midtown is noisy and noisy, all kinds of goods are arranged in fixed stalls according to categories, and they look orderly.

Zhu Bai sighed: "The third brother is really capable of managing Zhongcheng so well. ”

Zhu Li replied lightly: "Oh, I don't care at all. ”

Zhu Bai was a little helpless: Tsk, Zhu Li is really soft and hard, and he is managed by Buddhism.

He glanced at the commander of the Commander of the Soldiers and Horses Division in the middle city with great interest: that is, this commander is particularly capable.

But Commander Lan Du looked thin and sallow, and he really didn't look like such a bold and talented person......

Perhaps, it was Commander Lan Du who knew that he was coming, so he did something.

Is that coming back another day, or pretending not to know?

Finally, Lao Zhu promised him that he could rest for a few days after this patrol, but he really didn't want to find something to do on his own.

Besides, if something big is found out, do you do it or don't do it?

Zhu Di is about to get married......

Forget it, let's pretend to be confused.

In just a moment, Zhu Bai had already calculated clearly.

He and Zhu Li walked around and were about to go back.

Suddenly there was a fight in the market.

Chickens and dogs jumped, sticks flew together, screams, and angry scolding.

Zhu Bai became excited: "Hey, I've seen a group fight, I haven't seen it, do you want to see the excitement." ”

Zhu Li glanced at it, lacking interest: "There's nothing to see." There are fights every day in this market. ”

Commander Lan Du looked nervous, and raised his chin to the deputy commander beside him.

The deputy commander immediately understood, went over and drank it, and there was no fight over there.

The deputy commander asked the reason again, and each reprimanded a few words before coming back, bowing his head and arching his hand, "Go back to your lordship, go back to Your Highness." It was two hawkers who had just arrived in Yingtian City. A rice seller and a cloth seller wanted to exchange, but the price was not negotiated, so they quarreled. ”

Zhu Bai took a good look at the deputy commander surnamed Gu.

This deputy commander Gu has thick eyebrows and big eyes, and he has a good appearance of loyalty and patriotism.

However, according to Zhu Bai's little understanding of history, there was a tooth line at this time.

How can you make a fuss about this?

There is only one possibility, there are too many private teeth here, and these people don't want to go through the dental line.

Strange, why is there no official tooth shop?

Zhu Bai was very curious about this question, and asked Zhu Li on the way back to the palace: "Third brother, why don't you have a tooth line to draw the strings in the middle." ”

Zhu Li glanced at him and smiled: "It's not bad that you know how to do teeth at such a young age." The father hated the tooth line very much, saying that they were all clever words, insatiable, and shameless people, and there were many people who abducted and sold human beings and cheated fraud, so when Hongwu built the capital Yingtian City in the first year, he rectified Yingtian's tooth line. At that time, people who made a living in the dental business ran away and changed their careers, and even if they did, they didn't dare to do business blatantly. ”

Zhu Bai suddenly realized: Lao Zhu thought that his private teeth had been eliminated, so he didn't think of building official teeth at all.

Hey, tsk, it's a pity that no one runs such a good way to make money.

Go and ask Lao Zhu for this business. This is a good deal with no cost and no profits, and it is more labor-saving than reselling salt.

The key is that he is by Lao Zhu's side, so he can know the situation in various places as soon as possible, so as to understand the prices of various commodities.

As long as he does this, even if Lao Zhu doesn't give him salt, copper and iron, he won't be afraid.

He rubbed his hands together secretly and became excited.

They returned to the Imperial Study, but the other brothers who had gone on to patrol the city had not yet returned.

Only Zhu Biao accompanied Lao Zhu to watch the excerpts.

Lao Zhu glanced at Zhu Bai, looking at his excited eyes, he couldn't help but secretly hook the corners of his mouth: Rabbit cub, what bad idea has come to mind.

He pretended not to see Zhu Bai's urgency, and asked Zhu Bai without a word.

Zhu Li also put away his lazy appearance and replied respectfully.

"How's Midtown today?"

"Back to my father, it's orderly, nothing major happened."

"How are prices lately. How much is a pound of grain. ”

"Good Jiangnan silver bud rice, one or two silver and one stone, ordinary brown rice six to eight coins of silver one stone, broken rice five coins of silver one stone. Good white noodles with eight coins and silver stones. The rest of millet, soybeans, sorghum are slightly cheaper than white flour and rice. ”

"Where's chicken, duck, and fish?"

"The quality is different, the price is slightly different, and on average, it is about a pound."

"The quantity and variety are still abundant, but there are many people who buy them?"

"It's basically complete, it's quite lively."

Zhu Yuanzhang was very satisfied: "Yes, there was a famine last year, and it is good to be able to maintain this price at the beginning of this year." ”

Zhu Bai secretly gasped as he listened.

Zhu Li looked idle just now, and he was so clear about the prices in the market. The key is that the prices he said are similar to what I just glimpsed, so it can be seen that he is not nonsense.

Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand to Zhu Li: "Okay, you go back and rest." ”

Zhu Li left, but Zhu Bai did not move.

Zhu Yuanzhang sneered: "What? My conscience found that you want to accompany me to watch the excerpts with your eldest brother? ”

Zhu Bai leaned over with a salivating face: "Father, the son wants to negotiate a deal with you." ”

Zhu Yuanzhang snorted: "What do you like again?" ”

Zhu Bai said: "Ying Tiancheng's official teeth. ”

Zhu Biao became nervous when he heard this, and kept glancing at Zhu Yuanzhang.

Since Lao Zhu killed a group of Yaxing people in the first year of Hongwu, no one dared to use these two words in front of Lao Zhu for eight years.
