Daming: Zhu Yuanzhang cried for Zhu Biao when he picked up vegetables

"Grandfather?"

Seeing that Zhu Xiongying was not angry with him, Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help but feel happy.

"Haha, Ying'er, Grandpa Huang said something serious today, are you not angry with Grandpa Huang?"

Zhu Xiongying shook his head and said

"No, what Grandpa Huang said is also reasonable. It's because Ying'er didn't think carefully. Everyone in the world can't go into business. After all, money can't be eaten."

Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help feeling a burst of emotion in his heart, he stroked Zhu Xiongying's head and said

"Good boy, just based on this, you are better than your father!"

Zhu Biao is a master who accepts death.

If it was such a matter of principle, Zhu Biao could argue with Zhu Yuanzhang for three months without stopping.

"But, grandpa, merchants are really richer than farmers."

Zhu Yuanzhang looked around, and when he saw no one was there, he leaned on Zhu Xiongying's crib carelessly.

"Maybe it's more, but how much more can it be? After all, Shen Wansan is just a special case in a period of changing the world. Now the world is peaceful for a long time, it's not like it used to be."

"But the business that Ying'er did with her uncle and grandpa really made a lot of money."

Zhu Yuanzhang was overjoyed when he heard the words.

"Why? Are you really doing business with Sapphire?"

Zhu Xiongying nodded slightly, he didn't want to hide it from Zhu Yuanzhang.

But Zhu Yuanzhang didn't care much.

"You are our grandson, and Lan Yu is the great general of Ming Dynasty. It is normal for you to make money in business, but it is abnormal if you don't make money!"

Zhu Yuanzhang snorted coldly.

Then he got up slowly, looked at Zhu Xiongying and clicked his tongue and said,

"Tell us, what kind of business are you in?"

"Glass."

After all, Zhu Xiongying took out the account book he was writing in front of him and handed it to Zhu Yuanzhang.

When Zhu Yuanzhang saw this account book, his eyes lit up.

"Huh? Who did you learn bookkeeping from?"

Of course, Zhu Xiongying used the four-legged account bookkeeping method, with income and expenditure recorded side by side, which is refreshing compared to the muddled account that Daming uses now.

Zhu Yuanzhang naturally understood the ledger, he only glanced at it.

Then I knew the cleverness of such bookkeeping.

"Ying'er thought of it herself. The ledger that Daming is using now is so messy and looks so tiring."

A mere eight-year-old child can actually come up with such a clear ledger.

But when he saw the profit below, Zhu Yuanzhang's jaw almost dropped.

"Ying'er! You have earned 8 taels of silver in just a few days?!"

Zhu Yuanzhang's jaw was about to drop from shock.

This is not doing business!

This is a robbery!

Daming's household department could not receive so much tax money in a day.

How could Zhu Yuanzhang not be shocked.

But soon, Zhu Yuanzhang realized that something was wrong.

"Ying'er, is this business of yours worthless?"

Good guy, almost all of Zhu Xiongying's business costs are labor and shop.

What kind of business is this?

Robbery?

Zhu Yuanzhang's complexion sank, even if he exhorted:

"Ying'er, you are the great grandson of our Daming, you can't go into the business of robbing houses!"

Zhu Xiongying looked at Zhu Yuanzhang dumbfounded.

I still need to keep accounts when I am a bandit?

Are all the bandits in Ming Dynasty so particular?

"Grandpa Huang, Ying'er is in the jewelry business and sells these things."

After finishing speaking, Zhu Xiongying pointed to the glass on the door and window.

Now Zhu Yuanzhang didn't believe it even more.

"Are you confused when you are a grandfather? These things were shipped from Persia all the way, and the shipping fee alone is an astronomical sum."

Zhu Xiongying didn't answer the question, but looked at Zhu Yuanzhang with a smile and asked

"Grandfather, how much money did you spend on the glass windows of Kunning Palace?"

Chapter 48 is over, let's make people cheat, please ask for flowers, please

Hearing Zhu Xiongying's question, Zhu Yuanzhang thought for a while and said

"Not much, 3 million taels."

Zhu Yuanzhang said complacently

"At that time, in order to bargain, we directly called those Semu people into the palace and bargained with them in person. Originally, their offer was at least 10 taels of silver for a palace as big as Kunning Palace. It was cut down to 3 taels."

Zhu Xiongying continued to ask

"Does Grandpa Huang know how much the production cost of these glasses is?"

Zhu Yuanzhang was taken aback for a moment, and suddenly had a bad premonition in his heart.

"This recipe has always been in the hands of the Persians, and it is impossible for us to know the cost..."

Zhu Xiongying slowly stretched out three fingers.

Zhu Yuanzhang was taken aback when he saw this.

tentative question

"Ten taels?"

Zhu Xiongying shook his head.

"That is, 300 taels?"

Zhu Xiongying still shook his head.

"It can't be 30 taels, right?"

Zhu Xiongying sighed.

"Three hundred words."

At this moment, Lao Zhu suddenly felt an inexplicable suffocation in his heart.

"Three hundred words?!"

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Zhu Xiongying in disbelief, his chest heaving continuously.

Ever since he ascended the throne, Lao Zhu has always taken advantage of businessmen.

He never expected that he would be robbed of such a large amount of wool by the businessman, and Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't even accept this fact for a while.

"Impossible! Absolutely impossible! We give them a hundred guts, and they dare not lie to us like this!"

Zhu Xiongying clucked the little abacus beside him and said

"Grandpa Huang doesn't know that the raw material of this glass is ordinary sand."

sand……

Zhu Yuanzhang froze in place as if he had been hit by a sap.

Sand!

"And many materials can burn paper glass, but the cost of using sand is lower."

The corner of Zhu Yuanzhang's mouth twitched involuntarily.

After finishing speaking, Zhu Xiongying took out a ring from his pocket and said

"Look, grandpa, this is our relatively high-quality glass. The whole body is crystal clear, and the real colorless glass. The cost of three hundred yuan just now refers to this colorless glass."

"Then... what about this kind of colored one?"

"The cost can be reduced by half."

150 texts!

This is just a palace of Kunning Palace!

There are more than 9000 houses in the entire Forbidden City, and it took Daming ten years and nearly 300 million taels of silver to repair them.

According to Zhu Xiongying said so.

Nearly 100 million taels of silver were earned by the Persians!

"Bastard!"

Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't bear it anymore.

Hearing Zhu Yuanzhang's roar, Empress Ma, who was hiding outside the room, immediately opened the door and came in.

"Chongba, Ying'er is a child, why are you arguing with the child..."

Zhu Xiongying raised his head and looked at Queen Ma with a smile on his face.

"Grandma, Grandpa Huang is not scolding Ying'er, but scolding those profiteers."

Hearing what Zhu Xiongying said, Empress Ma couldn't help feeling a little embarrassed.

Zhu Yuanzhang gritted his teeth, looked at Zhu Xiongying and said,

"No! Ying'er, we don't believe it. You have to let us see it with our own eyes before we can believe it!"

Zhu Yuanzhang is still unwilling to accept this brutal reality.

Back then when I was bargaining.

It took a whole day and night of discussions with the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty to come up with such a bargaining plan.

As a result, the Persians earned 2 taels with tears in their eyes?

"Grandpa Huang will go to Zhuangzi outside the city with Yinger tomorrow to have a look."

Zhu Yuanzhang gritted his teeth

"Okay, let's take a look outside the city with you tomorrow!"

……

Jinling Pujia

From the outside, the Pu family's house looks like an inconspicuous house.

But after entering the atrium, it suddenly became clear that the exotic flowers and plants planted around were all from all over the world.

Although the Pu family is not Han Chinese, they have lived in the Central Plains for ten generations. Since the Song and Yuan Dynasties, they have been deeply favored by the Song family. They made a fortune in Quanzhou because of the spice business. After Boyan captured Lin'an, the patriarch Pu Shougeng even hesitated Without hesitation, his family lowered the yuan, and even slaughtered the Zhao Song royal family in Quanzhou.

After the fall of the Yuan Dynasty, the business of the Pu family became more and more prosperous. Pu Shougeng, who was promoted to the Quanzhou City Shipping Department, gradually monopolized all the spice business in the entire Central Plains by virtue of his status as both an official and a businessman.

Once upon a time, Shen Wansan was not worth mentioning in front of the Pu family.

It's just that after Daming was re-established.

everything is over.
