Chapter 37: Gifts!

In the Temple of Fengtian.

The imperial case in front of Zhu Yuanzhang was full of folds, and while he buried his head in watching, he asked:

"Tell me, what has our eldest grandson been doing lately?"

"Back to the emperor, His Royal Highness, he has been making salt and making wine recently!" Guo Zhen replied respectfully.

"Hmm."

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded, these were not his surprises, because Huang Xiongying had told him before.

"So what's going on now?"

Guo Zhen replied: "His Royal Highness asked the humble officials to find some craftsmen, and some of the wine has been brewed, and the batch of coarse salt purchased from the government has also been completely removed from impurities and refined into refined salt. ”

Zhu Yuanzhang listened while watching his recital, and did not make any comments.

Guo Zhen continued: "The shop used to sell wine has been rented, just at No. 58 Datong Street, and there is also salt, and an agreement has been reached with Cao Guogong, and he will come forward to sell it to the government, and today he will go to inform him to go over to get salt......

"Cao Guogong? Li Jinglong! ”

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at his hand and asked, "Why did this stinky boy hook up with our eldest grandson?" ”

Guo Zhen hurriedly told Huang Xiongying about going to Jiangxia Houfu to ask for Fang Shan.

"Huh-"

After hearing this, Zhu Yuanzhang laughed: "Li Jinglong's stinky boy is quite a rudder of the wind, and when he sees our eldest grandson, he hugs our eldest grandson's lap!" ”

Guo Zhen and Guo Xuan sounded a little confused, so they didn't know what the emperor's attitude was towards Li Jinglong's contact with His Royal Highness.

Zhu Yuanzhang raised his eyelids and said: "Don't worry about this matter, remember, protect our eldest grandson, and report to us in time!" ”

"Obedience!"

The Guo brothers hurriedly surrendered their orders.

Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand: "Go, do what your master instructs!" ”

The Guo brothers withdrew from the Fengtian Temple and went to Li Jinglong's mansion......

In fact, Li Jinglong can be regarded as half of Zhu Yuanzhang's grandson.

Li Jinglong's father is Li Wenzhong, this Li Wenzhong was born to Zhu Yuanzhang's second sister Zhu Fonu, Zhu Fonu died shortly after giving birth to Li Wenzhong, and then Li Wenzhong went through all kinds of difficulties with his father Li Zhen, and finally met his uncle Zhu Yuanzhang in Chuzhou.

When Zhu Yuanzhang saw Li Wenzhong, he liked him very much, so he adopted him as his adopted son and followed his surname Zhu.

In the seventeenth year of Hongwu, Li Wenzhong died of illness, posthumously crowned the king of Qiyang, called "Wujing", worthy of enjoying the Taimiao, the portrait was hung in the temple of meritorious heroes, ranked third, and buried in Zhongshan.

It shows Zhu Yuanzhang's love for this nephew.

Loving the house and Wu, Zhu Yuanzhang has regarded Li Jinglong as half a grandson since he was a child, and he loves him very much, but Li Jinglong was born tall again, with sparse eyebrows and beautiful eyes, and his mind is even more exquisite, and he is very pleasing to people.

Every time I talk to Zhu Yuanzhang about the art of military war, I am even more upright, which makes Zhu Yuanzhang even more important.

Now that Li Jinglong has taken the initiative to contact his eldest grandson, Zhu Yuanzhang will naturally not object, he left a super-first-class team for the crown prince Zhu Biao, but with Zhu Biao's departure, this team is meaningless, and this team is also old and dead.

Liu Sanwu's words yesterday also reminded him.

Therefore, Zhu Yuanzhang wanted to create a team for his eldest grandson while he was still alive.

Li Jinglong is one of the people who entered Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes......

……

At noon, Cao Guogong Li Jinglong came to the door as promised.

Li Jinglong was dressed in civilian clothes, tall, dignified, holding an ordinary small gift box in his hand, and gently knocked on the door of Huang Xiongying's small courtyard.

Guo Zhen came out to open the door and invited Li Jinglong in.

Li Jinglong entered the courtyard, looked at this small courtyard curiously, and couldn't help but admire: "Back to the mountains and water, the Tibetan wind gathers qi, the yin and yang are moderate, the light and shade are half, what a house, a good courtyard!" ”

Huang Xiongying walked out of the house and said with a smile: "I didn't expect Cao Guogong to have such feng shui knowledge, Xiongying admires it!" ”

Li Jinglong turned his head to look at Huang Xiongying when he heard the sound, and a smile suddenly appeared on his face: "Huang Gongzi, don't call us Cao Guogong in the future, just call us Jinglong!" ”

Huang Xiongying smiled: "Okay, Cao Guogong!" ”

Li Jinglong was no longer entangled, and handed over the small gift box in his hand: "The first visit, a small gift, not a tribute!" ”

Huang Xiongying glanced at Li Jinglong.

He could see that Li Jinglong was not like Zhou Ji, what he wanted was not him, but the old man, but Li Jinglong's words and actions were really like a spring breeze.

If Zhou Ji is in front of Huang Xiongying, he is a posture of the boss taking care of the younger brother, then Li Jinglong does not have half of Cao Guogong's posture, but intersects equally, and even licks it a little.

This did surprise Huang Xiongying, but thinking that if Li Jinglong was not like this, he would not have lost Zhu Yunwen's family background later, Zhu Yunwen would have said the opposite.

Huang Xiongying said with a smile: "Cao Guogong is really too polite, Xiongying is useless, how can he be embarrassed?" ”

"Eh, this is not Lu!"

Li Jinglong said with a smile: "Since Huang Gongzi and I are partners, of course we should be honest with each other, and we should not hide it, I Li and Huang Gongzi hit it off at first sight, this little gift is a little bit of Li as a friend, if Huang Gongzi regards me Li as a friend, don't refuse!" ”

Hey, what a talker!

Huang Xiongying was a little funny in his heart, if he hadn't traveled from the afterlife, he knew that this Li Jinglong was an embroidered pillow, and he was really blinded by his elegant and easy-going and Gu Pan Weiran's bearing.

"Okay, I made this friend of Cao Guogong!"

Huang Xiongying smiled and took the small gift box handed by Li Jinglong.

The gift box is not big, and it looks very rustic, not ostentatious at all.

"Huang Gongzi, open it and see if you like it or not." Li Jinglong said with a smile.

"Hmm."

Huang Xiongying nodded, and then opened the ordinary-looking box, which contained a small porcelain bowl.

The porcelain bowl is full of hands, and the shape is simple and generous.

It is delicate and azure-colored, and the glaze is thick and bright without dazzling.

"Ru kiln?"

Huang Xiongying looked at Li Jinglong, with a look of surprise in his eyes.

Li Jinglong smiled and said: "It's just a gadget, this is a leak that we picked up in the antique shop not long ago, and I don't know if it's true or not, you know, we are a martial artist, and it's not easy to study these things, so I took it to Huang Gongzi, I hope Huang Gongzi won't dislike it!" ”

Huh——

You Li Jinglong is really condescending to be a martial artist!

Huang Xiongying asked knowingly: "This thing is not cheap, is it?" ”

The corners of Li Jinglong's mouth twitched slightly, and then he showed a look of surprise, and said: "I can't hide it, let's look at this thing is good, so I bought it for a few dozen taels of silver, it can't be cheated, right?" ”

Good acting!

Huang Xiongying secretly nodded in his heart and said: "If I'm not mistaken, this should be the Ru kiln of the Song Dynasty!" ”

"Huh?"

Li Jinglong showed a surprised look again, and then said with a smile: "It doesn't matter if he's true or not, Huang Gongzi likes it!" ”

After that, he didn't continue the topic anymore, and changed his words: "I heard from the Guo brothers that Gongzi's salt has been made for 1,000 catties, and I have prepared a carriage outside, and I have also said hello to the Salt Transportation Division, and I can load it and transport it over now!" ”

The salt management of the Ming Dynasty mainly implemented the "Open China Law" for civil officials to collect and transport merchants and sell them and the "Outline Law" for civilian merchants to collect and sell them.

But everything is still mainly in the hands of the government.

"Cao Guogong doesn't look at the goods?"

Huang Xiongying asked with some confusion.

Even if it's because of the old man's relationship, Li Jinglong treats himself well, but he won't go so blind, right?

In fact, Li Jinglong did not have much interest in Huang Xiongying's salt.

Salt, can you still make flowers?

What he is really interested in is Huang Xiongying, you must know that this is the eldest grandson of the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, and he is a man with a high probability of ascending to that supreme position.

If he bets right this time!

If the eldest grandson of the emperor really ascends to the throne, then he Li Jinglong will directly carp and jump into the dragon gate.

You must know that he is a person who has lived with the emperor when he is at the end of his life, and he has lived through joys and hardships with the emperor, and has done things together!

This alone is enough for him Li Jinglong to blow for a lifetime!

But since Huang Xiongying said that he wanted to see the goods, let's take a look.

Anyway, it's just a word.

Good!

Thinking about it in his heart, Li Jinglong smiled and said: "Childe reminded me very much, you look at my wooden fish head, I almost forgot this stubble!" ”

"Then Cao Guogong, please!"

Li Jinglong followed Huang Xiongying to the backyard.

There are also props for refining refined salt in the backyard, and the refined salt is stored in a small warehouse next to it.

Huang Xiongying opened the door of the warehouse, and Li Jinglong walked in with a pretentious approach, and what caught his eye was a pile of refined salt like snowflakes.

"This ......"

Li Jinglong's mouth opened slightly, and his eyes widened wider and wider......
