Chapter 344: Lord Ye's methods are very chic, Zhu Yuanzhang becomes an angry bull, it must not be literal!
The caravan that departed from Ying Tianfu was the caravan of Master Guo, that is, the caravan of Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang, who went out on patrol in micro-service.
is also a businessman, Weifu went to Zhengzhou, but the scale of the caravan is absolutely insignificant.
Ye Qing's caravan pulled a full hundred carts of grain, whether it was a hundred coachmen or two hundred dart division guards, all of them were pretended to be three hundred elite soldiers of the Northern Army.
Zhu Yuanzhang's caravan only pulled a few carts of coarse cloth, and the coachman and the guards were only a dozen brocade guard elites.
The reason why he is so shabby is also very simple.
He was really embarrassed to borrow money from the household department again, and all the expenses this time were all funded by Queen Ma.
Moreover, the interest that Queen Ma asks for is actually higher than that of Lord Xia in the household department.
He also has no choice but to be a low-key small businessman.
Of course, Zhu Yuanzhang was not ready to meet Ye Qing this time, so he didn't have to be afraid that after Ye Qing met him, he would think that he Guo was bankrupt!
Inside the carriage,
Queen Ma said solemnly: "Your Majesty, are you too picky?" ”
"When you go out, just pull these truckloads of coarse cloth, which is not enough to make clothes for children in the disaster area."
Zhu Yuanzhang, who was sitting in the back, looked at Queen Ma who was blaming him in front of him, and he was also surprised and shocked.
Ma Xiuying, the virtuous queen of this generation, how can she be more shameless than him Zhu Yuanzhang and Ye Qing combined?
Zhu Yuanzhang just grinned at the corner of his mouth: "Queen Mother, why are we so picky, you don't have any points in your heart?" ”
"We're embarrassed to borrow money from the household department again, so I'll ask you to take out the small treasury and spend it, but it's good, and you actually want 30% interest?"
"You're much darker than that Xia Shimin!"
"Calculate it yourself, how many debts have we taken on since we met him Ye Qing?"
"I just made a little money for the project, and the capital has not fully returned, and the next project will come again, and the investment will be greater than once!"
As he spoke, Zhu Yuanzhang looked in the direction of the Wa Kingdom, and his eyes were full of expectation.
At the same time, he was also full of anticipation: "I really hope to send troops soon, and come back with real money soon, otherwise, we won't be able to pay it off in this life!" ”
Queen Ma just smiled faintly: "You mean, what you owe me can be repaid in this life?" ”
"This"
Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly ran out of words.
At the same time, all the experiences since they met, quickly flashed through their minds.
Those vivid memories, as well as impressive images, are also focused on 'screening' in my mind.
He remembered that when Haozhou was besieged, his sister-in-law came to him with the child in her arms and asked for food all the way, so he hurriedly sent troops to relieve the siege of Haozhou.
When she fought the world, her sister-in-law was not only his household secretary, but also his ministry secretary.
Whether it is the cost of money and food, or the forging of weapons, everything that has to do with logistics is all presided over by his sister-in-law.
After he became the emperor, the sentence 'the harem is not allowed to interfere in politics', his sister-in-law lived in the harem and managed the mess of the harem, and only came up with ideas when he needed it.
Zhu Yuanzhang didn't dare to recall it anymore!
He just stretched out his powerful hand, gently touched Queen Ma's cheek and said, "Sister, we think you have less interest." ”
"What is 30% interest, 80% interest should be!"
"We know, you hide the small treasury for us, for this family!"
As he spoke, he gently put his arm around Queen Ma and let her lean on his strong shoulder.
Queen Ma just smiled happily and said, "It's good that you are so gentle with other concubines." ”
Zhu Yuanzhang didn't think about it, and shook his head directly: "Being with them is like reviewing and reviewing the folds, it is a task that must be completed, can it be the same?" ”
"With you, yes, anyway, our gentleness will give you one person!"
“.”
Outside the door curtain of the carriage, Mao Xiao, who was driving, directly frowned into a heap.
He has just come out of Ying Tianfu, and he is full, how can this be done?
In Mao Xiang's eyes, the young man in brocade who was originally riding a horse and guarding outside the windows on both sides of the carriage suddenly came to both sides of him.
Mao Xiao looked at the two young men with frowns and said, "What's the matter with you, have you forgotten the rules?" ”
"Hurry up and give me back!"
The two young men in Jinyi had no choice but to return honestly, but they really wanted to reply to Mao Xiang with a sentence of 'too close, my stomach was a little swollen'.
Ten days later, Zhu Yuanzhang and the others rushed to the border of Zhengzhou.
After Zhu Yuanzhang stepped out of the carriage, he looked at Mao Xiang with a bitter face and said, "What's the matter with you, it's so uncomfortable to go out with the master?" ”
Mao Xiang immediately smiled: "No, it's just that the weather is too hot and I'm a little tired." ”
"Especially the Zhengzhou boundary on the edge of the Yellow River is humid and hot."
When Zhu Yuanzhang heard such a reason, he no longer cared about the bitter look on Mao Xiang's face before.
It's just that he ignored a key point, he Zhu Yuanzhang is not tired, how can these young masters and young men be tired!
Although the sun is vicious, it is far less vicious than what the couple said along the way!
Zhu Yuanzhang and the others stood in Zhengzhou City, and they couldn't see the slightest sign of the disaster.
But he knew that once he was out of the city, he would see something else to look at.
"Let's go,"
"Find a place to live first, and then find out if Ye Qing is here."
After a while, they settled into a nice inn in the center of the city.
Zhu Yuanzhang had already seen all kinds of construction miracles in Yanmen County and Ningbo Mansion, so he didn't have the mind to visit Zhengzhou City.
He just wants to have a good night's rest and then go to inspect the disaster area tomorrow morning.
In the evening, Jin Yiwei, who went out to inquire about the news, returned to Zhu Yuanzhang's side one after another.
"Your Majesty, there is no news from Lord Ye."
"Your Majesty, we have found out that the local grain merchants and the surrounding grain merchants, although they have all sent grain to sell, but they have all raised the price of grain by three times on the grounds of high transportation costs."
When Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, he slapped it directly on the table.
He just snorted coldly and said, "These things raised by bitches, this kind of wealth dares to be made!" ”
"The flood overturned their grain ship, or what, can it raise the price to three times?"
"It's all brutes who eat human blood steamed buns!"
"He Ye Qing gave preferential treatment to businessmen wrongly, our attitude towards businessmen is correct."
Speaking of which, the look of disgust on Zhu Yuanzhang's face is simply not too obvious.
But what was even more obvious was the killing intent in his eyes.
Suddenly, he gritted his back molars and said, "Our sister is not in good health, we deliberately walked slower, we have already arrived, and he Ye Qing has not yet arrived at the place." ”
"If he delays disaster relief, let's see how Lao Tzu cleans him up."
Seeing that Zhu Yuanzhang was so angry, Queen Ma just poured him a cup of herbal tea and said: "Don't be so angry, I believe that when it comes to the people, he will not slack off." ”
"Perhaps, he arrived late on purpose for some reason, or maybe he came here as a micro-suit like us."
When Zhu Yuanzhang saw Queen Ma say this, he just held back his anger and said, "It's better to do what you said." ”
Early the next morning,
After Zhu Yuanzhang and his entourage had breakfast, they prepared to leave the city and go to the disaster area.
But as soon as they walked out into the street, they saw hundreds of people swarming in one direction.
Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Mao Xiang and said, "Go and inquire, they are all holding bags in their hands, what are they going to do?" ”
"Yes."
After a while, after Mao Xiang came back, he said with a smile: "It is said that a grain trading house has opened in the east of the city, and the boss is a great good man, and the price of grain is 20% less than the previous price." ”
When Zhu Yuanzhang and Queen Ma heard such news, they were also relieved and smiled faintly.
It seems that this mercenary businessman is not all profiteers.
But then, they frowned!
Although the behavior of this righteous businessman is remarkable, he is cutting off the financial path of his peers after all.
You must know that doing this kind of thing is like killing your parents, and being retaliated against is something that will definitely happen!
"What merchant has such courage?"
"What merchant is not afraid of offending people?"
Zhu Yuanzhang just thought about it a little, he didn't even need to ask Queen Ma, he thought of someone.
At the same time, Queen Ma also thought of that person!
The two just nodded, and followed the crowd all the way to the grain dealership.
Sure enough, they saw a lot of familiar faces here, that is, those elite soldiers of the Northern Army dressed as dart masters.
It was at this moment that they heard a familiar voice.
Shen Wan'er stood on a high place and shouted: "Don't crowd, everyone has a share, don't buy too much, each is limited, and everyone must ensure that everyone can buy it." ”
"Don't worry about selling out, our boss has hands and eyes, there is a steady supply of rice and noodles, and the waterway checkpoint does not dare to stop it."
“.”
Shen Wan'er's voice certainly couldn't reach the back of the crowd.
But under the spread of the elite soldiers of the Northern Army, everyone present could hear it.
In the crowd, Queen Ma smiled and said, "How is it, am I right?" ”
Zhu Yuanzhang nodded with a smile and said: "It's just him, he's so disgusting, he likes to do this kind of thing like killing his parents." ”
"But this one was well done."
But at this moment, suddenly a group of thugs with sticks and swords rushed over directly.
"Where's your boss?"
"Call your boss out, he is deliberately disrupting the market, does he understand?"
"Either you raise the price of food, or you won't be allowed to do business here!"
“.”
While shouting, this group of people also aimed their fierce eyes at the people who bought food.
Zhu Yuanzhang just frowned, and immediately started to teach people a lesson.
But before he could make a move, these dart masters pretended to be elite soldiers of the Northern Army directly drew their knives.
Just a moment later, the clamoring people rushed to the scene and limped away.
Not long after they disappeared, a green-robed official on a tall horse rushed over with a team of officials.
"Someone has reported you for maliciously low prices and disrupted the market."
"Also, who allowed you to trade here?"
"That's not right!"
"The previous boss of this firm is surnamed Zhao, and he is a local, why is he so ignorant of the rules?"
As he spoke, this arrogant official was ready to lead people to rush in and arrest them.
The people watched this scene, although they gritted their teeth with hatred, but no one dared to go up, after all, they understood the truth that the people did not fight with the officials.
But in the next moment, their eyes widened, and their faces were horrified.
These dart masters are really cruel, even the servants and the ground are beaten violently.
Not only the officer, but the green-robed official was also beaten in the street, and his nose and face were swollen, and even his official uniform was torn to shreds.
Fortunately, it's a gentleman, if you are treated like this as a woman, it will be a big misunderstanding.
"How dare you?"
"Is there a royal law in your eyes?"
These so-called dart masters, while beating the officials, said arrogantly: "Our boss is Wang Fa, you can talk to him about Wang Fa!" ”
Saying that, this tall dart master dragged him directly into it like a dead dog.
After the official was dragged in, the officials who had been beaten with blue noses and swollen faces squatted in a row in the corner, and then each obediently hugged his head.
At the same time, Shen Wan'er continued to solicit business.
She also repeatedly promised that as long as the official came out, she would definitely agree to them continue to sell grain here.
After a few moments, the official came out dejected, like a girl who had just suffered a nightmare in the woods.
In the eyes of all,
The official, who was already disheveled, put on an unformed black gauze hat, faced the people, and said loudly with a crying voice: "Everyone will buy grain here in the future, and the owner of this shop is operating legally." ”
"Those who raise the price of grain, this official will definitely punish them severely!"
As soon as the words fell, he beckoned these servants who were squatting in the corner of the wall and holding their heads, and ran away with him.
After a long time, the people began to cheer.
"This boss is really hand-eyed!"
"If you don't have your hands and eyes, there will be such a beautiful girl to help him?"
"That's right, the emperor's concubines don't necessarily look so good!"
"A good person should be a beauty!"
"Good man, can you do that?"
"Let everyone eat affordable food at such a time, that is a great good person!"
“.”
In the crowd, Zhu Yuanzhang and others left directly and quietly.
At the same time, he was thinking about a question.
That is Ye Qing's way of doing things, whether it is right or wrong.
In terms of this way of doing things, it is really difficult to get into the hall of elegance.
But judging from the results, he controlled the price of grain in this place and did not cause public resentment and riots, which was indeed a great achievement.
Seeing Zhu Yuanzhang frowning, Queen Ma immediately spoke: "He let everyone eat affordable food at this time, and quickly controlled regional grain prices, didn't he?" ”
Zhu Yuanzhang nodded and said, "That's right!" ”
At this moment, suddenly there was a team of dart masters pretended to be elite soldiers of the Northern Army, quickly surpassing Zhu Yuanzhang and them.
"Brothers, your legs and feet are faster."
"Lord Ye is in the disaster area outside the city, snapping up the yellow flower girl, everyone is running faster."
“.”
When Zhu Yuanzhang and the others heard this, they were stunned.
Ye Qing has the Qin Mission, which represents the imperial power, and it is true that he does not need to be in charge of the government himself, so he can clean up these officials.
But he never expected that Ye Qing himself would be in the disaster area outside the city, doing the business of buying the yellow flower girl.
Thinking of this, the redness in Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes was directly covered with the whites of his eyes.
In everyone's eyes, Zhu Yuanzhang at this moment is no different from an angry bull.
"How dare he do such a conscience-losing act?"
"We've really lost our eyes!"
Zhu Yuanzhang just gritted his back molars and said coldly word by word.
As soon as the words fell, he strode after him.
Queen Ma and Mao Xiang, who followed behind, also frowned at the same time when they looked at this scene.
They only hope that Ye Qing will snap up the words of the yellow flower girl, it must not be literal!
I ask the officials to follow up on the support, and ask for the support of recommended tickets and monthly passes, thank you!
