Daming: Brother, there is no future for monks, let's rebel

"If we don't know, then no one in this world will know what's going on." Zhu Yuanzhang secretly sneered in his heart.

The person in front of me is the kind of ordinary person who likes to talk nonsense.

Lao Zhu didn't know how many people he had seen like this.

Anyway, it takes two full days just to take the train.

If you have nothing to do, just take it as a way to relieve your boredom.

At this time, trains have just come out, and the technology in all aspects is not very perfect.

Although it has officially started operation, the driving speed is much slower than galloping horses.

Of course, no matter how slow the train is, its transport capacity is definitely not comparable to that of horses.

In addition, it can also carry more people.

Now more and more people are aware of the power of trains.

"It is said that the Academy of Sciences is currently studying a new type of train." The person sitting opposite Zhu Yuanzhang talked about the situation in Datong, the general trend of the world, and finally the new type of train. He talked about whatever came to mind from all over the world.

Zhu Yuanzhang has been listening patiently, and responds from time to time to let the other party know that he is listening.

The other party didn't even know that Zhu Yuanzhang had already found out his details.

This man's name is Xiao He, a native of Tianshui, Gansu.

When he just heard this name, Zhu Yuanzhang was also startled.

This guy is so virtuous and capable that he dares to call Xiao He by the same name.

After careful understanding, I realized that this Xiao He was not the other Xiao He.

The sound is the same as the word.

This man is a traveler who travels all over the country and has no fixed livelihood. He just does whatever makes money.

Nowadays, the most profitable business in the Ming Dynasty is of course grain trafficking.

Even in Yingtian Mansion, the price of one stone of grain is less than a cartload of silver.

At this time, as long as the food can be obtained and successfully transported to Datong, the profit can be easily made several times.

"Brother, let me tell you, when we do business, we are all about buying high and selling low. The most important thing is to seize the opportunity and control the prices in the world."

Zhu Yuanzhang heard this and asked with great interest: "Didn't you just say that the people in Datong Prefecture are already in dire straits? In that case, you are still selling food to Datong Prefecture at a high price. Isn't this complicity with those corrupt officials? "

"Uh..." Xiao He, who was talking excitedly, almost lost his breath.

How about not chatting like this?

Don't think that because you are older, you can talk nonsense.

How can a person who can't chat live to such an old age and not be beaten to death by the reinforcements?
After all, people like Xiao He are running around all over the world, and their reflexes are absolutely incredible.

Even if he was rebuffed by Zhu Yuanzhang, he was not angry.

Instead, he laughed and said, "Brother, what you said does make sense."

"We businessmen are in the business of buying low and selling high. Sometimes it is inevitable that people will think that we are getting something for nothing."

"But brother, many people only see us businessmen making money, but don't know how much we have done."

"Let's not talk about how far away it is. Let's just say that we are going to Datong this time to transport the goods, right?"

"It looks like it's quite profitable, six or seven times the profit."

Zhu Yuanzhang secretly rolled his eyes when he heard Xiao He's complaint.

This is now, and Zhu Yuanzhang gradually realizes that if Ming Dynasty wants to become truly rich and powerful, it cannot do without businessmen.

Therefore, even if Zhu Yuanzhang was unhappy, he did not show it.

If this were the case in the past, it would have been this kind of speculation, taking the opportunity to sell grain to the disaster-stricken areas and transfer high profits to the businessmen.

Zhu Yuanzhang didn't bother to talk nonsense with him, and directly asked the Jin Yiwei to pull him out and chop him: "No matter how hard it is, the life of ordinary people will be better than that of ordinary people."

Xiao He was stunned for a moment, then laughed: "I didn't expect that, brother, you are also a person with a world in mind, I admire you."

He also hugged Zhu Yuanzhang and said, "It can be seen that brothers don't think highly of businessmen like me."

Zhu Yuanzhang was a little impressed by this Xiao He. He thought he hid it well, but he didn't expect Xiao He to see it out.

Seeing the surprised look on his face, Xiao He laughed loudly and pointed at his eyes: "Brother, I have traveled all over the world for so many years, and it is none other than these eyes."

Zhu Yuanzhang said with a half-smile, "Brother, who do you think I am?"

Xiao He seemed to have known that Zhu Yuanzhang would ask this question.

He looked at Zhu Yuanzhang with a smile and said, "Since I asked, let me take a guess."

"Looking at your attitude towards businessmen, brother, you must not be in business yourself. Am I right?"

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded in disbelief. As long as he is not blind, he can basically see this kind of thing, and it is not a big skill.

Xiao He's voice continued: "But looking at your dress and conversation, brother, the situation at home in your early years should not have been particularly good."

"But in recent years, I have suddenly become rich again. Am I right?"

Zhu Yuanzhang never expected that Xiao He could really see so many things.

Although what Xiao He said was vague, most of it was true.

Xiao He finally concluded: "Also, brother, you can get the train ticket, which shows that your relationship in the court is extraordinary."

Zhu Yuanzhang was expressionless, not letting the other party get any information from his face: "Brother, aren't you the same? It's not that easy to get a train ticket now."

Although the price of train tickets is not particularly expensive, it is really expensive now.

It is really not that easy for ordinary people to get tickets.

Even for officials of the imperial court, it is not that easy to get them.

It’s just because the travel needs of ordinary people in this era are not that high.

Therefore, Zhu Yuanzhang turned a blind eye and pretended that nothing happened.

When mentioning this, Xiao He said depressedly: "I'm different from you, brother. For a person of your status, brother, it's just a matter of words to get a train ticket."

"Unlike me, I don't know how much money it will cost and how many connections it will take."

Zhu Yuanzhang raised his eyebrows, but didn't say much.

My brother once said that some things must have a reason for their existence.

As the helmsman of this empire, he only needs to be able to grasp the general direction.

For the rest, there will naturally be an internal condition system.

First-class companies focus on performance, while third-rate companies focus on discipline.

Although Lao Zhu didn't quite agree with his brother's words.

But countless evidences show that Zhu Han is correct most of the time.

Moreover, now that he has left the court, Zhu Yuanzhang also wants to take a holiday for himself.

Leave those messy things to your son.

At that moment, Lao Zhu smiled slightly: "Brother, you have talked a lot and still haven't explained clearly what our identity is." "Maybe you guessed wrong and we are just an ordinary farmer?"

Xiao He curled his lips: "Brother, are you bored now? With your manner of speaking and my sister-in-law's temperament."

This guy is also a good talker. While flattering Zhu Yuanzhang, he did not forget to bring Queen Ma with him.

This time, Zhu Yuanzhang felt comfortable photographing him.

Lao Zhu laughed loudly and said: "We like to hear this. The most proud thing in our life is to marry a good wife."

Xiao He stopped as soon as he clicked, and then said with a smile: "Brother, how about we make a bet? If I guess wrong, I will treat you to a drink at noon."

"If I guess correctly, then I will have to spend money on you, brother."

This kind of bet is harmless, so Lao Zhu naturally said: "Okay, then it's settled."

Of course he could tell that since driving, Xiao He had been getting close to him intentionally or unintentionally.

It's just that Zhu Yuanzhang finds it strange that his current identity is just an ordinary person.

There is no need for Xiao He to fawn over himself like this, right?
Could it be that his identity was exposed?

But soon, Zhu Yuanzhang himself rejected this speculation.

At this time, Zhu Biao and Tang He may have just found out his identity.

If any businessman could know who he was, then his position as emperor would be in vain.

Xiao He looked confident: "If my guess is correct, brother, you must be a distant relative of a certain prince in the imperial court."

"Brother, your surname is Chang. You should be an elder of the E Kingdom Duke Chang Yuchun. Am I right?"

Zhu Yuanzhang's smile was a little stiff.

This is a private interview incognito. For the sake of convenience, I always use a pseudonym.

In name, they are really relatives of Chang Yuchun.

This guy Xiao He just did something clever.

What Zhu Yuanzhang meant by guessing his identity was to guess who his fake identity was.

But Xiao He used a relatively broad term.

But it seems wrong to say that Xiao He guessed wrong.

Because his family status is still like this.

Although it was a little clever, Xiao He was not very objectionable.

The other party's attitude clearly made it obvious that he was just joking.

Zhu Yuanzhang laughed at that moment: "My brother is really smart, we lost this time."

Xiao He smiled generously: "Brother, you are giving me a chill. I did take a trick this time. Just consider it a loser. I'll treat you to this lunch today."

Without waiting for noon, Xiao He directly asked for two bottles of fine Fenjiu wine and prepared chicken, duck and fish.

In this period of Ming Dynasty, people's lives are much better than in history.

However, it’s not just chicken, duck and fish.

Even some officials live a tight life.

It's just that people who can afford to take the train will definitely not be much worse off.

After all, even if you don’t talk about the favors.

The train ticket alone is not something ordinary people can afford casually.

Therefore, although the movement on their side attracted some attention, no one paid much attention to them.

After the food was served, Zhu Yuanzhang was about to move his chopsticks, but the expression of a young man next to him changed slightly, as if he wanted to step forward to stop him.

After all, Lao Zhu is the current emperor. When he was in the palace, his food and daily life were handled by dedicated people, which was a little better.

Now that I have left the palace, I dare not neglect food.

If someone dared to poison food, it would be no joke, and it would definitely cause huge waves throughout the Ming Dynasty.

Zhu Yuanzhang shook his head slightly and glared back with a sharp look.

After all, Lao Zhu was also a general who had led troops to fight, and he understood very well that the more dangerous a place is, the safer it is.

If others are outside the palace, all the rules are exactly the same as in the palace.

To have a meal, someone needs to test the poison. Doesn't that mean there is no silver 300 taels in this place?

Xiao He didn't pay attention to Dean Zhu's little move, so he took the initiative to pour the wine for Zhu Yuanzhang and picked up the glass: "Brother, let me toast you first."

After speaking, drink it all in one gulp.

Zhu Yuanzhang was also generous and had a drink with Xiao He, and said pointedly: "My brother is very well prepared."

There was obviously something in his words. Of course it meant that Xiao He had already prepared to eat and drink. Of course, it also meant that Xiao He had already prepared to have a relationship with someone.

Xiao He didn't hide it and laughed loudly: "Brother, I have a sharp eye. I know that my little tricks cannot be hidden from your discernment."

"I know, brother, you look down on lowly businessmen like us. But don't worry, I'm definitely not asking you for anything."

"When we do business, we focus on harmony and wealth. One more friend means more paths."

Zhu Yuanzhang asked knowingly: "What if I just don't want to do business with you?"

Xiao He continued to pour wine for Zhu Yuanzhang indifferently: "No matter what you do, brother, I have no objection. Even after getting off the train, it doesn't matter if none of us are the same. We can invite brother to this meal. , this is already my honor."

"If there is an opportunity in the future, if I still remember this today, I will be very grateful."

Zhu Yuanzhang felt that this guy was really powerful.

He only picked out pleasant things to say, and did not mention anything that might cause displeasure.

If he didn't know who this guy was, Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help but wonder if he was born stupid.

"Just saying this to you, brother, if there is a chance in the future, we will never stand idly by if we can help."

After saying this, Zhu Yuanzhang gloated and added in his heart.

"However, I'm afraid you won't have this chance."

He is the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, and this Xiao He is just an ordinary businessman.

After getting off the train, there will probably never be any intersection between the two parties in this life.

If fate really allows Xiao He to see him again, Zhu Yuanzhang really doesn't mind giving this guy a little convenience.

After all, this was a relatively interesting person that Zhu Yuanzhang met.

Of course, the premise is that this guy doesn't violate any Ming laws.

If this is the case, even if he finds this person interesting, Zhu Yuanzhang will never be tolerant of him at all.

Of course Xiao He didn't know what Zhu Yuanzhang was thinking. Seeing that Zhu Yuanzhang was overjoyed, he immediately poured wine for Zhu Yuanzhang even harder.

"Brother Gao Yi, I can't thank you enough."
