Ming Dynasty: Abandoned baby at the beginning, Zhu let me be the emperor

"Sir, please forgive me for being so nosy."

Gu Boyang looked at the banknotes on the table, then looked at Zhu Ming worriedly.

From the previous contact, he had already seen that Zhu Ming was the one who made the decision among the three people.

"explain."

Zhu Ming spoke calmly.

"These banknotes are enough to buy my bookstore, but if you include the printing costs, then..."

Before Gu Boyang finished speaking, Zhu Ming already knew what he meant.

"Liu Jin."

He turned to look at Liu Jin and shouted.

Without waiting for Liu Jin to reply, a stack of silver bills was placed on the table.

Zhu Song looked at Zhu Ming firmly and grinned: "I'll also own this bookstore."

"How much is left?"

After nodding to Zhu Song, Zhu Ming looked at Gu Boyang. Thirty thousand copies should not be a small number.

Even with Zhu Song's help, it might not be enough.

"Thirty thousand copies. Even with the title of His Royal Highness the Prince and a discount, it would still cost at least fifteen thousand taels."

As Gu Boyang spoke, he picked up all the banknotes and counted them one by one.

The total amount of silver that Zhu Ming and Zhu Song had was as much as six thousand taels.

"Is this enough?"

Only then did Xu Miaojin slowly speak and took out all the jewelry she had brought.

"That's enough, that's enough."

Seeing Xu Miaojin taking out so many valuable jewelry, Gu Boyang's eyes widened and he responded blankly.

Each of these jewels is priceless.

With these, it is more than enough to raise 15,000 taels.

"Just wait for good news from me."

Since the money was enough, Gu Boyang did not refuse and collected all the jewelry.

"Go ahead, we won't treat you unfairly."

Zhu Ming nodded, waved his hand, and asked people to retreat.

Gu Boyang nodded, stepped back, and took out the title deed.

"Actually, you don't have to pay so much."

Looking at Xu Miaojin, Zhu Ming spoke in a deep voice. There were only six thousand taels left, which he could still get if he went to find Old Zhu.

"I just believe you."

Xu Miaojin just smiled casually. She still believed in Zhu Ming's choice.

Moreover, after seeing Zhu Ming's performance in the previous times, she had already started to look up to this man who was engaged to her.

So, even though she didn't understand Zhu Ming's purpose of opening this bookstore, she still chose to give him unconditional support.

"Thank you."

Looking at Xu Miaojin who trusted him so much, Zhu Ming couldn't think of any words to express his gratitude except thank you.

Xu Miaojin blushed even more and lowered her head.

"Your Highness, this is the deed to the shop. It has been stamped with your fingerprints. It now belongs to you."

The slightly awkward atmosphere was not broken until Gu Boyang came out from the inner room holding the land deed.

He placed an old piece of paper in front of Zhu Ming and the others.

"Good work."

Zhu Ming nodded, dipped his hand in the ink, and left his handprint on the deed.

"I have another question."

Zhu Song watched Zhu Ming put his handprint on the paper, but he frowned and began to ponder.

Seeing how serious he was, Zhu Ming and Xu Miaojin also became serious and moved closer to hear what the question was.

"What should this bookstore be called?"

Zhu Song looked at Zhu Ming and Xu Miaojin and slowly asked his question.

The bookstore has been acquired, but the name has not yet been decided.

“I’ve thought about this question, too.”

Zhu Ming's expression also became meticulous. A name can indeed leave an important impression on people.

"The name of the store is Xinhua Bookstore."

Zhu Ming spoke out the name he had come up with word by word.

He originally planned to open branches of his bookstore throughout the Ming Dynasty, just like the Xinhua Bookstore, so that other people in the Ming Dynasty could buy cheap books.

Only when everyone has access to education can more talents be cultivated.

This is his ultimate goal.

"Just make up your mind."

Although Zhu Song and Xu Miaojin didn't know the meaning of this name, they still nodded in agreement.

"His Majesty!"

Fang Xiaoru held a memorial in his hand and looked at Zhu Yuanzhang with a serious expression.

"what's up?"

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Fang Xiaoru's solemn expression, and he also became serious and asked in a deep voice.

"Something went wrong with the little emperor's method of measuring the land."

As Fang Xiaoru spoke, he handed the memorial to Yunqi, who passed it on to Zhu Yuanzhang.

"Those landlords and wealthy businessmen brought their servants to cause trouble and have injured several people."

While Zhu Yuanzhang was reading the memorial, Fang Xiaoru also briefly summarized what had happened.

Because the little prince was his student, he was quite concerned about this matter.

After learning about the unrest, he hurried to the palace to meet the emperor.

"These guys are rebelling against him."

After reading the contents of the memorial, Zhu Yuanzhang snorted angrily and threw the memorial down.

These landlords, relying on a few guards, dared to disobey his orders. They were simply seeking death.

"Yunqi, go and tie up those troublemakers for me!"

He turned to look at Yun Qi and gave the order viciously. He already hated these unkind rich guys, and now they dared to go against him.

He wished he could kill all these guys right now.

"Yes."

Yun Qi knew Zhu Yuanzhang's temper, so he immediately responded and then retreated.

"Your Majesty, I think this matter should be handled by the young grandson of the emperor."

Fang Xiaoru looked at Zhu Yuanzhang and spoke out to dissuade him.

"Tell me?"

After hearing Fang Xiaoru talk about the little grandson, Zhu Yuanzhang managed to calm down and looked at Fang Xiaoru in a deep voice.

"If Your Majesty takes action, the unrest among these rich people can be settled in no time. But this land survey was done by the young grandson of the emperor."

With Zhu Yuanzhang's means, it was not difficult to suppress this matter.

Just like what Zhu Yuanzhang said just now, just send all these people to the imperial prison.

"If Your Majesty were to make up for all the national policies of the little grandson, it would not be beneficial to the little grandson's growth."

This incident was caused by the young grandson of the emperor Zhu Ming, so naturally Zhu Ming had to go and see it in person.

Only by making him realize the complexity of national policies can the little grandson of the emperor truly grow up.

"Well, that makes sense."

After listening to Fang Xiaoru's words, Zhu Yuanzhang also nodded.

What he said does make some sense.

Letting him see how to deal with this matter is also a test for Zhu Ming.

"Yun Qi!"

Zhu Yuanzhang roared and called Yunqi over again.

"What's your majesty's order?"

Yun Qi looked at Zhu Yuanzhang in confusion and asked cautiously.

Your Majesty was so furious just now, how come he suddenly calmed down?

"Tell the little emperor's grandson about this and have him go and handle it."

As Zhu Yuanzhang spoke, he looked at Fang Xiaoru again, hesitated for a while, and then spoke again.

"Have the Royal Guards follow us day and night, and put the little grandson first in everything."

Zhu Yuanzhang let Zhu Ming handle this matter and he also arranged people to help.
