Chapter 31 – Capital Rampage

“Boatmen traveling on boats, not only hard work, but the trade is sometimes good and sometimes bad, to be attached to our name, the first solved the problem of passenger flow and freight volume.”

“The second, is that we play the name of the capital city two murderers, deter those small people, just now we hit, is the pier from the former will be the door of the bark, these people used to oppress the boat family, and now see us come, naturally indignant, so we two murderers of the capital city, naturally, we have to beat them to the service until the end, we not only to provide passenger flow to the boat family, but also to help them to calm down the bark’s nuisance, so that they only need to travel at ease. We not only provide passenger traffic for the boaters, but also help them to put down the nuisance of the shrews, in this way, they only need to feel at ease to travel the boat.”

“There is also a third thing, that is, the honest and decent boatmen, still need to worry about the nuisance of the evil officials along the way, but now we have us, but wherever there is a nuisance, we will let our people to intervene, our volume is large, the strength is sufficient, and there is the young master of the Duke of Cheng, and the orphan of the Duke of Rong as a backing, which is not open-minded, and dares to hit the idea of the ships under its banner.”

“Uncle, you see, those boaters, although docked, still need to pay a portion of the profits, but they get the safety, get the source of passengers, traveling here, no longer have to be trembling, and do not worry about the precariousness of the night, in exchange for you, you are willing or not? Tell you the truth, these days, our daily profit, has reached a net profit of five hundred taels ……”

“What ……” Zhu Neng grabbed Zhang Anshi’s hand.

The next moment, he carefully cupped Zhang Anshi’s hand in his own, and said kindly and amiably, “O virtuous nephew, there’s so much, doesn’t this mean that there’s fifteen thousand taels of net profit in a month?”

It’s a lot of money in your pocket. That much in a month? At the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, it was an absolutely astronomical sum.

Zhu Neng began to see stars in his eyes and once again said, “Xian nephew, is there really that much?”

Zhang Anshi coughed and said, “Shibo …… I am talking about now, now our business expansion is very big, every day there are seven or eight boatmen with boats to join, and in the future we also intend to continue to buy boats, intend to develop Zhenjiang as well as South Tongzhou business, in the future, our business, may be greater than today ten times, or even a hundred times.”

“Ehhhh.” Zhu Neng was so excited that he cupped Zhang Anshi’s hand, and his harangue was about to flow down, “It’s not to be, it’s not to be.”

Zhang Anshi smiled awkwardly and drew his hand back, “Shibe, please respect yourself.”

Zhu Neng felt like he was going to faint from excitement, he muttered under his breath, “Even if one month is one and a half taels, a year would be two hundred thousand, ten years two million …… one hundred years ……”

“Seppo, Seppo ……”

Zhu Neng didn’t react, still frozen in place, not saying a word, the next moment, he all of a sudden Zhang Anshi deadlocked, cradled in his own arms, grinning: “Haha, virtuous nephew, no wonder that when everyone else was cursing you outside, the old man said to people everywhere, Zhang Anshi is the wife and brother of the crown prince, can it be a bad guy not? I think that you are smart since you were a child, the future must have a great success, you see, was my words in it, virtuous nephew ah, I did not hurt you in vain.”

Zhu Yong couldn’t help but say from the side, “Father, you didn’t say this before ……”

“Shut up.” Zhu Neng glared at him and scolded, “Just grow some brains, oops, how did I give birth to a son like you.”

Zhu Neng then looked to Zhang Anshi with joy: “Then we …… how much can we share in the Chengguo Gongfu?”

Zhang Anshi said, “When the initial capital contribution, a buddy of mine contributed the most, but he contributed more silver, but did not contribute to the effort, so only counted him fifty percent of the shares, and the rest is our three brothers, and do not care about these, the remaining fifty percent, I get twenty percent, Zhu Yong and the third brother each get one and a half percent.”

Zhu Neng heard, some anxious, pointing to the nose and face swollen like a pig’s head general Zhu Yong said: “nephew, words can not be said ah, you see although he is not smart, but at least there is hard work ah, he is in order to buy and sell this even the bones are broken, how not to give him a little bit more, even if more than half of the good.”

Zhang Anshi gave Zhu Neng a deep look, “Uncle, words can’t be said like this, even if his bones aren’t discounted here, won’t they still be discounted for Uncle when he returns home? Across the board, it will be discounted everywhere, how can this be counted as money?”

“……”

Junen lapsed into a brief silence.

And then he actually thought it made quite a bit of sense, where it wasn’t folded.

Forget it. Be generous!

So Zhu Neng said joyfully again, “Oops, same, same, come on, let’s go see the boat, see the boat.”

He still kept his eyes open and saw it for himself before he was reassured.

Sure enough, at this ferry, there are many boats with black flags shuttling back and forth, Zhu Neng’s heart was blossoming, he touched Zhu Neng’s head and taught, “Fighting isn’t like this, dad taught you a trick, to keep you winning a hundred battles.”

Zhu Yong said: “Father willing to teach me the art of war, what know-how.”

Zhu Neng said with a straight face, “There are many people, bullying them for being few.”

Zhu Yong: “……”

Zhu Neng patiently explained: “The art of war, lies in the collection of elite troops, attack its weakness, the essence of this is actually more people to the place where there are fewer people to fight, and so their defense line collapsed, the whole army will also collapse. Son ah, you do not listen to the theater said those bullshit words, this kind of thing, cut not reckless, tomorrow I will give you to allocate seven or eight when I followed me into the death of the old pawns to teach them to follow you, I want to look at this Nanjing City, each ferry, which dog dare to open their eyes, dare to bully to the head of my dearly beloved nephew of the Zhang Xian.”

Zhang Anshi, however, turned his words around and said, “Shibe just said that he came here by decree?”

“This …… this …… Yes, his majesty has long had a preconceived notion about you, so he ordered me to check it out.”

Zhang Anshi fell serious: “I’ll ask Shibe to definitely find a way to put in a good word for me.”

“This ……” Zhu Neng thought about it and looked around warily, but he dragged Zhang Anshi to the corner and whispered, “Beautiful words my ass, this thing …… cannot be said.”

“Can’t tell?”

Zhu Neng sneakily said, “Think about it, this is a good deal, if His Majesty knows about it, what if he intervenes? The old man’s life has been very difficult, and only now have a little hope ……”

Jounen almost shed tears of ‘poverty’ when he said this.

Zhang Anshi suddenly felt that in front of him, this reckless duke of the country is a bit uncomplicated, and his small mind is quite a lot, Zhang Anshi said, “Shibe was born for His Majesty, how …… do you want to die?”

“It’s not the same.” Zhu Neng said with a straight face, “I was born to die because I eat the king’s salary and am loyal to him, and after eating the imperial food, can I still retreat from the battlefield?”

Zhu Neng paused: “But life can be given to His Majesty, but our silver can’t be given to him, how can we give away our lives and still give away money? Do you think I’m stupid?”

Zhang Anshi s gaze was shocked, and then said, “Little nephew was taught, but …… how will Shibe return the decree at that time?”

“This you don’t worry, wrapped in my body, always won’t teach you to suffer, aiya …… who let you be my closest loved nephew.”

Zhang Anshi’s goosebumps were going up, and he had the feeling of picking up soap in prison.

It was a good thing that Chu Neng didn’t stay long and left satisfied.

Having escaped, Zhang Anshi had a feeling of having survived a robbery.

But now with the support of Zhu Neng, things are good, the capital of the two murderers, I’m afraid that really want to walk sideways in this capital.
