Daming: At the start of the showdown, Lao Zhu was stunned

Chapter 375 Good things come in pairs
Hearing what Zhao Yunyan said, Zhu Su couldn't help being stunned for a moment.Turning his head to look at Zhang He inquiringly, Zhang He nodded after feeling Zhu Su's gaze, proving that what Zhao Yunyan said was true.

Then he himself remembered that when he held a banquet in Shen Yuan that day, there was indeed someone like him.I remember that after the Shen family was the first to speak out in support, this Zhao Yunyan was the second to stand up to express support for Zhu Su, and donated [-] shi of food and grass.

Zhao Yunyan's Chinese character face is still very recognizable.

"Since you are a rice merchant, why didn't you tell this king earlier? This king is not an unreasonable person." Now, Zhu Su is a little embarrassed.

Other merchants hoarded food for the sake of surprise, but rice merchants usually sell rice, so it is normal to have some hoarding.Besides, in the disaster year, this businessman didn't increase the price too much. What he suppressed and punished in Suzhou earlier was an unscrupulous businessman who was hoarding. It can be said that this Zhao Yunyan is just a fish in the pond.

In all fairness, being able to insist on selling food at a fair price in a disaster year is not only not considered an unscrupulous businessman, but even a charity business.

"Hehe, Your Highness is a deal with us, and this is your wish." Zhao Yunyan said with a smile.

"Besides, Caomin insisted on selling grain at a low price during the flood in Suzhou, which offended many wealthy businessmen. If His Highness hadn't acted, the Caomin would have been crushed to death."

"The raising of grain to go to sea this time is the last grain merchant business that Caomin will do. Caomin is going to follow His Royal Highness to become a maritime merchant on the Maritime Silk Road. I hope His Highness can support you a little bit more."

Zhu Su's heart moved slightly, and he looked at Zhao Yunyan with admiration.Before I excused myself to reopen the Maritime Silk Road, I was afraid that other Suzhou merchants would only think that it was just a step for them to step down.Looking at it now, I am afraid that only this Zhao Yunyan took this matter seriously.

Regardless of whether what he said about "being suppressed by wealthy merchants" is true or not, Zhu Su has to admire this man's courage if he can decisively abandon the grain merchant business and prepare to transform into a maritime merchant.After all, the wind direction of the Ming Dynasty at this time is still biased towards the ban on the sea.Being able to bet on the sea in advance at this time is enough to prove that this businessman has extraordinary vision.

Moreover, this person directly stated openly and honestly that he wanted to board his own boat, and he showed enough sincerity twice before and now, so it was hard not to make Zhu Su feel good.This person is really transparent, as long as he can board the big ship of the royal family of God, what is the business of a mere grain merchant?Give up and give up.

The Shen family had gone downhill before, and whether it was defeated or not was all in Lao Zhu's mind.But now, isn't it thriving?Isn't it because the glass business was taken away from him?

Thinking of the Shen family, Zhu Su couldn't help but look down at Shen Sen.I saw Shen Sen looking at Zhao Yunyan with a hostile face, as if he was very guarded that this person would steal his home.

Seeing this, Zhu Su couldn't help shaking his head, the Shen family was short-sighted.Originally, I wanted to say that the Shen family should take the lead in private shipping, but now it seems that the Shen family is embarrassing.

"That's all. Zhao Yunyan, since you are doing your best for this king, this king will naturally give you a good future." Zhu Su turned his head, looked at Zhao Yunyan and said.

"General Zhang He transporting grain by sea this time is just a stopgap measure. But after I return to Beijing, I will report to my father and make the matter of transporting Liao grain by sea a regular rule."

"For the time being, you can follow the imperial court's grain transport ship and do some maritime trade business. When I have a large ocean-going ship in Ming Dynasty, I will send you to open up the Maritime Silk Road together."

"Yes!" Zhao Yunyan's face was ecstatic when he heard the words, and immediately knelt down towards Zhu Su, knocking his head heavily on the ground: "Cao Min thanked the court for your kindness! Your Highness is very kind!"

This is Haimao!With the words of His Royal Highness Fifth, it can be said that his Zhao family has the power to carve out a piece of profit on the ocean of incomparable wealth.

The Great Yuan has been stealing China for a hundred years, and many people have forgotten the golden mountains and silver seas of the sea trade in the Song Dynasty.But Zhao Yunyan always remembered the prosperity of maritime trade in the Song Dynasty described by his ancestors.Chinese things are treasures in foreign countries. As long as they can participate in maritime trade, even if they are dilapidated, once they can return from overseas, they can instantly become rich and powerful.

As for when there will be big ships... so what?Even if it is not possible to go to the ocean now, as long as the imperial court has made it a rule to transport Liao grain by sea, he can still make enough profits by trading with Ryukyu and Japan along the way.What's more, there was Daming's military protection along the way, and even the money for the escort was saved.You can still use the signboard of His Highness the Fifth Highness, and you will no longer be afraid of the oppression of wealthy merchants in the country.

It's worth it to get rid of the Zhao family's current possessions in exchange for these promises from His Royal Highness the Fifth Highness!
After comforting the three of them with good words, Zhu Su left the three of them and some food and grass in Changli, and asked Ru Taisu to resettle the refugees. He and Zhang He took the rest of the food and grass and rushed to Sanchakou camp day and night.Seeing the vehicles entering the camp, the morale of the Ming army rose to a higher level.After all, paper cannot contain fire, and the soldiers know more or less about the fact that there is no food in the army.This matter has also had a slight impact on the morale of the army.

If Zhang He doesn't come again, Zhu Laosi is thinking about whether to borrow one or two heads of grain officers to stabilize the morale of the army like Cao Cao did.

"Fifth brother, you came at a good time." Looking at the endless grain trucks entering the camp, Zhu Di rubbed his hands happily, but he still remembered the business, and said to Zhu Su: "There is a man named Wu in the big tent." , A few days ago, I came to our camp and said that I went outside the pass under your order."

"He said he had something very important. I didn't ask him any questions, but said that he had to meet with you." Speaking of this, Zhu Di was a little depressed.

"A man surnamed Wu?" Zhu Su was taken aback for a moment, and then he was overjoyed. "It must be Wu Baihu!"

Immediately, he took a big step and walked quickly to the big tent.Zhu Di also followed behind.

"Wu Baihu!" Zhu Su lifted the curtain, and sure enough, he saw a familiar figure.

Hearing the words, the figure turned around, saw that it was Zhu Su who was walking, and hurriedly knelt down on one knee, his face moved: "Your Highness! It's been a long time since I saw you! Are you in good health?"

"Okay, okay." Zhu Su hurriedly helped the man up, "But you, Wu Baihu, why do you have arrow marks on your face? You are the only pillar of the Wu family. If you make a mistake, Mrs. Wu can't beat me." door?"

"Hahahaha, don't worry, Your Highness. But it's a little skinny, when will those tartars outside the pass be worthy of our attention!" The man surnamed Wu laughed.

Seeing that the two were old acquaintances, Zhu Di, who was following Zhu Su, also relaxed. He walked up to Zhu Su and asked, "Fifth brother, who is this strong man? Why don't you introduce him to me?"

"Oh. I met an old acquaintance in a foreign land, but I forgot it for a while." Zhu Su laughed. "Fourth Brother, this is Wuting Wubaihu. During the Northern Expedition a year ago, they were the ones who protected Brother Bao'er on the battlefield and broke through the siege."

"After he retired from the army, he was placed in Huangzhuang at the foot of Bifeng Mountain. But Wu Baihu couldn't stay idle and said he wanted to find something to do. So I asked him to form a caravan with his old brothers to buy wool outside the pass. of!"

"But it's not just about buying wool. I also asked Wu Baihu to do a top-secret event. If this is done, Yuanting in the north will no longer be a threat to my Ming Dynasty!" Zhu Su said.
