Chapter 67 Truth

Hearing this, Zhu Di took a deep breath, “The so-called four, are the two of you, plus Zhang Anshi and Qiu Song?” “No, Qiu Song isn’t, he’s halfway in.”

“Who’s the other guy?”

“That’s unknown.”

Zhu Di’s tiger eyes snapped, “Zhang Anshi didn’t say?”

“He said that there is a buddy, is his big brother, he said that this buddy can be powerful, is everything love to be serious, the nature is a little strange, and… mouth is not clean ………”

“What else?” Zhu Di’s breathing is getting heavier and heavier, this …… Could it be me?

“What else?” Zhu Yong recited, frowning for a moment as if struggling to remember something.

Zhu Yong thought for a moment and finally said, “He said the dude was obsessed with eating shit.”

Zhu Di’s body trembled and his silkworm eyebrows rose, “Into the motherfucker, he’s started rumors and nuisances again!”

Zhu Yong was startled and scrambled to curl up again.

Zhu Di took a deep breath, he felt that he cursed his mother to look very unseemly, not to mention …… cursing a teenager.

“How much of this deal did that dude …… take advantage of?”

Zhu Yong said, “Half. I also feel puzzled, but big brother …… no, Zhang Anshi said that he was entrusted by a person and was loyal.”

Zhu Di’s eyes were slightly open, and he looked at him with a gleam, “Is it that sale on the pier?”

In a flash, Zhu Di realized that he was really wrong about the Marquis of Wu’an, and that the Marquis of Wu’an was really a thousand times wrong.

He fiercely recalled that Zhang Anshi had asked him about his name, and he had casually recited Marquis Wu’an’s name at the time in order to perfume Zhang Anshi.

At that time, Zhu Di also but a whim, casually perfunctory, and did not take it seriously, this has long been forgotten.

But now he realized that that Marquis Wuan was actually himself.

“Yeah.”

Zhu Di widened his eyes, his breathing began to be rough: “Doesn’t this mean …… doesn’t it mean …… that a month has thirty thousand taels of silver pure profit in the sale …… A year is nearly four hundred thousand taels of silver, if you take half of it, it is two hundred thousand taels of real money? ”

This is definitely a very appalling number.

Daming was founded on agriculture, and the main type of tax was the field tax, which was collected on grain.

But the real money …… is actually the yearly income is very low, which is why both Tai Zu Gao Emperor and Zhu Di, have chosen to constantly print Da Ming treasure money to solve the problem.

Then this annual income of 200,000 taels of silver is placed in the national treasury, although it does not account for much, but what if it is internal money?

The state treasury was the income of the state, which was difficult for the emperor to misappropriate, but the internal money was the income of the royal family, which was available to Zhu Di!

If this amount of money is filled into the internal coffers, then it is definitely considered an astronomical sum.

Zhu Yong, on the other hand, thought about it and said, “Thirty thousand taels? This …… minister is only responsible for beating people, and I don’t know anything about running a business, my father ……”

“Your father also know?” Zhu Di froze, but soon, he remembered what: “When your father had come to see me, said Zhang Anshi …… right, no wonder your father thereafter there is no echo, this old fox!”

“Ah …… this ……” Zhu Yong opened his mouth wide, half speechless.

But right now, Zhu didn’t have the heart to count on this, he stood up and pressed on step by step, “You continue.”

“I don’t know ah, this can only ask big brother, big brother astronomy and geography, know everything.”

Zhu Di calmed down a little, glanced at Zhu Yong with a look of disgust, and said with a tiger’s face, “You three, do you know your sins?”

Zhu Yong and Zhang Yoking were busy saying, “I am aware of the offense.”

Qusong cocked his head to think, sniffled and said, “I know I’m guilty!”

Zhu said, “Then reflect for a few more days, humph!”

With that said, and with his hands behind his back, he sprinted away.

After leaving the prison of the Ministry of Justice, Yiluoha and dozens of guards and wardens were waiting here, and as soon as they saw Zhu Di, they had to make a big bow.

Zhu Di said, “There is no need for that, prepare the horses.”

Yiluoha stepped forward and said softly, “Your Majesty …… this is ……”

Zhu said, “Go to the pier, the one at the Fuzi Temple.”

“Your Majesty.” Yiluoha was quite worried, “It’s getting late.”

Zhu Di waited for that guard to fetch the horse, lightly rolled up, straddled the high horse, and looked down at Yiluoha: “Even if it’s late in the day, you have to go.”

Saying that, he had taken the lead and rode away.

Yiluoha did not dare to be slow, busy and other retainers are mounted on the horse, towards the direction of that Fuzhimiao.

………………

Fuzimiao Pier here.

At this time, there are still pedestrians, there are merchants coming and going, there are footmen carrying goods, there are Xu officials maintaining order, and occasionally there are a few children’s cries.

Occasionally, monks and Taoists pass by, or students who are in a hurry. Monks and Taoists tend to be gentle and unperturbed, while most of the scholars in their silk scarves and Confucian shirts are full of pride.

Of course, there are more people, barefoot or wearing shoes, who are in a hurry and look nervous.

Against the Fuzimiao Pier is a small two-story building.

This place has been leased by Zhang Anshi with a plaque saying ‘Brother Shipyard’.

Zhang Anshi is the most righteous, always put brothers on his lips and in his heart, that is, this signboard, also in the name of brothers.

It was a way to always carry on the legacy of the three brothers, no, to carry on their spirit, to live well and mete out a good life.

At this time, this brother ship business is full of people.

All the men, taking dustpans and baskets, gathered up the piles of copper money and broken silver, and then seven or eight bookkeepers, began to make settlements, and then immediately put the silver money into the treasury.

The most inconvenient thing in ancient times was the issue of currency.

Of course, it is not as if there were no convenient currencies, such as treasure notes, but …… no one dares to ask for them.

Therefore silver money into the treasury, accounting and expenditure, but rather Zhang Anshi’s biggest headache.

Zhang Anshi has been here for a full day, when the sun is setting, the evening sun is like fire, burning red half the sky, but Zhang Anshi still do not dare to leave, because this silver is not completely settled into the treasury, he does not feel at ease.

That’s all the profit for a month, how can you not keep an eye on it.

He lamented in his heart, if his own brother was here, the three murderers would only stand here with crossed eyes, which bookkeeper and fellow would dare to secretly hide the money?

The brothers have eaten the prison food, and at the moment, they only have themselves to keep an eye on the place.

A thousand consistent coins, scuttled on a straw rope.

All the broken silver, collectively, is put on the scale and the amount recorded.

Afterwards, all this silver is re-melted into dollars and then sealed.

As for the hired accountants, many of them were found with the help of Zhu Jin. There was no other way, as the sudden large-scale settlement, Zhang Anshi was not experienced enough in this area, so he had to entrust Zhu Jin.

Anyway, Zhu Jin now saw him, as if a mouse saw a cat, earned money from him, all feel sleepless at night, Zhang Anshi is still quite assured of this person.

He sat in his chair, pretending to drink tea, but in fact, he was carefully observing everyone here, preventing anyone from secretly hiding the money.

Just then, the sound of rushing hooves came from outside.

Ta-da-da-da-da ……

Ta-da-da-da-da ……

The hoofbeats stopped.

Immediately afterward, someone fell off his horse, followed by hurried footsteps.

A few moments later, a person appeared at the gate like a small mountain!

Who is it if not Zhu Di?

Zhu looked forward to entering the small building.

Zhang Anshi took a look and his legs started to go weak again.

I don’t know where the problem came from, but now my legs are weak at the sight of Zhu.

“See …… seen ……”

Zhu Di narrowed his eyes and looked at Zhang Anshi, immediately saying, “Have you seen this Marquis?”

Zhang Anshi came to a realization and immediately smiled and said, “Marquis Wu’an?”

Zhu nodded.

These three words, Marquis of Wu’an, still made the fellows and tills in the building look up in surprise and sneak a glance over.

These people are all the people of the three religions, of course, they know that the proprietor of the brother ship industry is certainly not simple, but never thought that it is still a marquis.

In many people’s minds, this is already an existence so high up that they can’t afford to climb up in their own lifetime.

Zhang Anshi immediately attentive, surrounded Zhu Di began to go round and round: “Come, marquis …… you drink tea, oops, marquis you this body bone …… can be really athletic. When I sit here, I still think, how my eyes are always jumping, is it to meet a big nobleman? Turn your eyes …… and you are here.”

Chu: “……”

Thinking that Zhang Anshi not long ago was unbeatable, cursing at himself at every turn, and in the twinkling of an eye, pitiful, Zhu took a deep breath and said, “Half of the head here is my trade?”

Zhang Anshi on this head is honest, without half a hesitation said: “Yes, when we did not say yes? You gave me silver, and then I said we do business together, the deed is there, I also invited a guarantor, signed and sealed.”

Zhu Di’s face was red and he rubbed his hands together excitedly, “I didn’t expect you to have this righteousness, this is very similar to me.”

“That’s for sure.” Zhang Anshi squeezed his eyebrows and said, “Otherwise how are we …… relatives.”

Zhu looked around and couldn’t help but say, “What is this?”

Zhang Anshi said, “Check out.”

“Checkout?”

“It’s not exactly been a month or so since the sale, and the books need to be cleared up at the end of the month.”

Zhu Di then, his eyes fell on the mountain of gold, silver and copper money: “This …… is ……”

“Yes.” Zhang Anshi was decisive.

This is the emperor ah, heck, I did not expect this time really earn a lot, he actually made a deal with the emperor.

When Zhang Anshi insisted on letting this ‘Marquis of Wu’an’ to be the majority shareholder, in fact, the reason is very simple, he knows that the royal relatives to do business in this era is a taboo thing, even if it does not violate the taboo, it will be looked down upon.

But not with a dude up there in the way.

What’s more, he’s not even a state uncle yet ……

In the Yongle dynasty, the most pulling is those who are born in the Beipingfu origin of the honored ministers, there are these people to give him a cover, it looks as if the silver is less earned, but in fact …… there are many opportunities to make money.

What Zhang Anshi was thinking about was not how much money he would make, but safety.

But now …… this major shareholder has become the Yongle Emperor.

Zhu was obviously thrilled beyond belief.

Even Zhu Di was seeing this mountain of gold, silver and copper money for the first time.
