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

Chapter 817 The rainy season has come early

Shen Wansan was very happy when he knew that this business deal was promising, and he immediately started discussing it with Zhu Han.

If he could sell the cement formula to himself, he would definitely be able to develop his business in Jiangnan and also be able to give Zhu Han a large sum of money.

"Your Majesty, you know that I am very wealthy in Jiangnan. As long as you promise to sell me the cement formula, I will be willing to pay you even if it costs 10,000 taels of silver."

Zhu Han glanced at Shen Wansan indifferently. How could he not know what Shen Wansan had made up his mind? But now was not a good time.

The cement formula is in Zhang Fengnian's hands, but he is used to repair the palaces in the imperial palace. This little money is not enough for Zhu Han to fill his teeth.

"You don't know how popular this cement formula was in Yingtian Prefecture. Since I can sell it to you, it means I am impressed by your talent."

Zhu Han changed the subject and did not immediately agree to Shen Wansan's request.

Besides, Zhu Han didn't care about that little money at all.
He wanted a little more than what Shen Wansan could give him, and the business must be able to last for a long time, so that he could make great efforts in the cement formula.

"But it's not that difficult to sell you this cement formula, but I don't care about this little money at all."

When Shen Wansan heard Zhu Han's words, his eyes lit up. Cement was indeed extraordinary, being able to build houses for the imperial palace.

If Zhu Yuanzhang likes something, it can naturally be sold for a good price. Shen Wansan has already started planning for himself.

"Your Majesty, how much can you sell this cement to me?"

Zhu Han turned and looked at Shen Wansan with a slight smile on his face.

"I won't sell you the formula, but we can work together."

Shen Wansan was a little confused when he heard Zhu Han's words. Seeing that it was almost dark, Zhu Han took Shen Wansan to the study in the county government office.

Zhu Han put the agreement he had prepared directly in front of Shen Wansan, and Shen Wansan suddenly understood what he meant when he saw it.

Zhu Han directly wrote in the agreement that he could give the formula to Shen Wansan, but he had to give himself a sum of money for the cement he sold, which could be considered as dividends between the two.

"We will split the profits 30% to 70%. I'll take your 30% and 70%. You can sell the items yourself. It's up to you to decide whether you can sell them for a good price and how to do the business."

Shen Wansan was shocked when he heard Zhu Han's words.

He has always been a businessman and has the final say in Jiangnan. He didn't expect that he would be tricked by Zhu Han today. He felt a little unwilling when looking at Zhu Han.

"But if this happens, then every penny I earn will belong to you. Your Highness, I really don't approve of your idea."

Shen Wansan was somewhat reluctant. This business seemed very profitable on the surface, but in fact, he had lost a lot of money without realizing it.

Zhu Han looked at Shen Wansan with his hand gently supporting his chin, and he seemed to be unsatisfied.

"That's your decision. If you want to do business with me, I will definitely give you the cement formula. But if you don't do well in this business, you will have to bear the loss yourself."

"I'll give you three days to think about it. If you still don't make a decision after the flood is over, I'll respond to Tianfu first."

Zhu Han was not in a hurry at all. The recipe was in his hands and no one else could take it away from him.

"When you come to Yingtian Prefecture in the future and do business with me again, I'm afraid you won't be so easy to talk to me then."

Shen Wansan was speechless after hearing Zhu Han's words. He looked at Zhu Han.

"Your Majesty, since you have said so, let's make this deal today."

Shen Wansan saw the current situation clearly. In Yingtian Prefecture, a place where people were eaten without leaving any bones, he had no status at all as a businessman.

Even though he was rich enough to rival a country, in the eyes of those court officials, he was always not up to standard, and Shen Wansan was too lazy to even consider their expressions.

"If you really went to Yingtian Prefecture, I'm afraid I might not be able to see you even if I traveled thousands of miles to find you."

"Yingtianfu is a place with too much water. I don't want to go there. Only in Jiangnan can people do business."

Shen Wansan was a straightforward man. When Zhu Han heard him say this, he agreed without hesitation.

The two of them were able to fulfill this cooperation as soon as possible. Zhu Han watched Shen Wansan hand the contract to him.

"Then we have a deal. After the contract is signed, I will give you the formula, and you can decide how to do business."

Shen Wansan was very happy. He didn't expect that he could still do this business before the flood came. He was extremely happy.

"Your Majesty, you are such a kind person. If that's the case, then let's discuss it."

Zhu Han laughed loudly with Shen Wansan, and the two of them reached an agreement on a cooperation.

In the next two days, He Fengyu led Shen Wansan's men to build dams to protect the people.

They would not make any mistakes and were full of confidence in building the dam this time.

At this time, something happened at the court.

When the memorials from Song Lian and Zhu Han were delivered to Yingtian Prefecture, Zhu Yuanzhang saw in the imperial study that they had already started building a dam in the south of the Yangtze River.

Zhu Yuanzhang was very satisfied.

But when the court was in session, someone actually began to impeach Zhu Han.

"Your Majesty, the King of England and the Crown Prince are both currently building dams in Jiangnan. It is fine if this has not been reported to the court."

"Even with the imperial edict, the matter that is being measured has not been dealt with clearly. If the prince is really in Jiangnan, it will be very difficult for him to harm your majesty."

"I also heard that Wang Ye and Shen Wansan have a close relationship."

Zhu Yuanzhang didn't want to listen to the gossip of these court officials, but when he heard their impeachment of Zhu Han, Zhu Yuanzhang's face became very ugly.

"You are just talking nonsense. You are not good at managing the affairs of the court. You are always trying to impeach the King of England and the Crown Prince. You are just a bunch of good-for-nothings."

Zhu Yuanzhang always valued Zhu Biao. Yujia and Zhu Han were brothers who had been through thick and thin together, no matter how much people in the court ignored Zhu Han's contributions.

He knew it all.

Everything Zhu Han did was for the Ming Dynasty, and Zhu Yuanzhang would never bear any ill will towards Zhu Han just because of a few words from others.

Zhu Yuanzhang's words left everyone in the court speechless.

When officials in the court saw this situation, they all wrote letters to the emperor.

Zhu Han and Zhu Biao have made great contributions to the affairs of the court. Let Zhu Han reward them well.

After seeing such a memorial, Zhu Yuanzhang felt very satisfied.

The status of Zhu Han and Zhu Biao has been greatly improved anytime and anywhere.

The people of Yingtian Prefecture praised the deeds of the two men even more.

"The prince and the crown prince went to Jiangnan to control the flood. This is a rare opportunity now."

"It shows how much effort the prince and the crown prince have put in for the Ming Dynasty. No matter what others say, it is impossible to change their positions."

"This is a court official who can truly care about the people, instead of just staring at others and impeaching them every day."

The deeds of Zhu Han and Zhu Biao in Jiangnan had spread throughout Yingtian Prefecture.

When Gao Fei told Zhu Han the news, both Zhu Han and Zhu Biao couldn't help laughing.

"Your Majesty, why do you have to testify for us? God is watching us. Once the news spreads to Jiangnan, many people will surely understand my good intentions."

When Zhu Han heard that Zhu Yuanzhang was furious in the court, he was happy but also a little worried.

The ministers in the court had long been forming cliques for personal gain. Zhu Yuanzhang being able to be his backer made him feel mixed emotions.

"Your Majesty, there is no need to rush at this moment."

Gao Fei, however, felt that Zhu Yuanzhang's actions could better demonstrate Zhu Han's importance.

It is also a good thing to prevent those officials from impeaching Zhu Han.

"Anyway, your majesty has done this, so your Highness doesn't have to worry. I heard that the flood has been resolved, but I don't know if it's true or not."

Gao Fei had been passing news between the two places and did not know much about what was happening in Jiangnan.

Now I just want to find out more information.

Zhu Han then told Gao Fei about the dam construction.

Now that the time has come, he is waiting for good news from He Fengyu.

As the two were talking, He Fengyu brought the county magistrate into Zhu Han's study.

"Master, please go and have a look. Our dam has been built."

He Fengyu ran in happily and told Zhu Han the news.

Hearing his words, Zhu Han looked confident, which made Song Lian beside him very excited.

"Mr. He, what you said is true. We haven't been to the dam these days, so we don't know how it's going. I didn't expect you to have built the entire dam in just three days?"

He Fengyu was delighted.

He finally breathed a sigh of relief these days. The dam was built and the people had returned home. Now they were just waiting for the rainy season to see how effective their dam was.

"Master Song, how could I possibly lie to you?"

After hearing his words, Song Lian's heart was finally at ease. Zhu Han took out the blueprints for their dam construction.

He Fengyu hurried forward, pointed to the dam that had been built long ago, and explained the water irrigation problem to Song Lian and Zhu Han.

The dam was built really well this time, and the water that spread out from the Yellow River has been slowly dispersed by them.

After the construction of fertile fields, the irrigation problems of the people have been completely solved.

The drip irrigation technology that Zhu Han used in the past has now come in handy.

The fields that were still suffering from drought can now be moistened with water and planting can begin immediately.

The land will also become more fertile.

"After the construction was completed today, the water in the dam quickly overflowed and was just enough to irrigate the fields."

He Fengyu became more and more excited as he spoke, and Zhu Han stood aside and listened quietly.

All plans were slowly implemented according to his layout.

Zhu Han's anxious heart finally relaxed.

"This is the best outcome. Otherwise, if something really happens in the future, it will probably take some time."

He Fengyu nodded repeatedly. While they were talking, Zhu Biao suddenly noticed a strong wind outside.

"We just finished building the dam today, but I didn't expect the rainy season to arrive already. What a coincidence."

Hearing this, Zhu Han and everyone else immediately walked out of the room and saw that the sky was indeed covered with dark clouds and looked gloomy.

"Boom, boom, boom..."

There were bursts of thunder in the sky, and Zhu Han felt a little frightened.

Fortunately, the dam has been completed, otherwise if the rainy season came early, who knows what would have happened.

"I never thought that the rainy season would come early. It seems that the experienced people are reliable. Fortunately, we listened to them and built the dam as soon as possible."

The matter of building the dam was already very urgent.

For them, this was a waste of time. Fortunately, the dam has been built, so Zhu Han no longer has to worry too much.

"The dam has just been built today, and Mr. Shen has already booked a table at the restaurant, asking the master, the crown prince, and Mr. Song to go over for dinner. The carriage is at the door."

Gao Fei was a little shocked. He didn't expect that they were so well prepared.

What Shen Wansan did really made them feel helpless.

But fortunately, everything has been arranged properly, so there won't be many problems.

"In that case, we can go and see what's going on. Anyway, the dam issue has been resolved, and there will definitely be good news tonight."

After hearing what Zhu Hanfa said, Song Lian and Zhu Biao no longer had any worries, so they went out together.

Shen Wansan had been waiting for a long time. When he saw Zhu Han's carriage approaching, he hurried forward to greet him.

"Your Majesty, you are finally here. I have been waiting for you for several hours."

Zhu Han felt a little embarrassed. He had been waiting for news from Gao Fei, but he didn't expect to keep Shen Wansan waiting for so long.

Zhu Han then took Zhu Biao and others into the restaurant.

There were quite a few people eating in the restaurant. When they saw Zhu Han, they immediately came forward to compliment him.

"Your Majesty, it is a blessing for our people that you can build a dam for us this time."

"Although the rainy season has come early, the Yellow River has not flooded, which is a rare sight in a century."

"It's all thanks to the prince and the crown prince that we will be blessed in the future. This is God giving us a way out in Jiangnan."

After listening to what the people said, Zhu Han quickly helped everyone up.

It was also the first time that Zhu Biao had seen such a scene, and he felt a little proud.

He had witnessed many things, but this was the first time he had been so admired by the people.

"You should get up quickly. After all, you all belong to the Ming Dynasty. If something really happens to the people, the court will not ignore it."

With Zhu Biao's words, the people finally relaxed.

They no longer have to worry about the Yellow River bursting its banks.

Seeing that the time was almost up, Shen Wansan took them all to Yage.

In the elegant room, everyone gathered around the table and sat down.

Shen Wansan generously shared his experiences in doing business in Jiangnan and some business tips with Zhu Han.

Several of them were toasting each other without any airs, and even Song Lian had become one of them.

He Fengyu was already a little drunk, but there was no news from the county government yet, which proved that their dam had been successfully built.

"Master, the Yellow River did not burst its banks. You really solved the flood this time."

Zhu Han curled his lips and smiled when he heard this, but didn't take it to heart.
