Chapter 324 Zhu Yuanzhang's Preaching
The next day, an amazing news came from Nanjing City. One or two tea leaves was sold at a high price of 10,000 taels, which became the topic of conversation for those people in the streets and alleys after dinner.
"Hey, you said that fat man spent 10,000 taels to buy one tael of tea and went back, aren't he afraid of throwing it into his hands? Do he promise that he would be as strong as Yan Shenggong and Zhang Tianshi?" On a street in Nanjing, several ordinary people gathered together and whispered, but he was still very cautious in his words. Obviously, he was still scared of Zhu Yuanzhang's previous policies.
"What do you know? This is what they need. Those who sell tea need money, so those who buy tea give him money. Those who buy tea need reputation, and we are all discussing him now, so he has reputation. So, they are win-win, and we are just spectators." A smart spectator said, and said in one sentence, expressing his thoughts.
Sometimes self-righteousness is not necessarily a bad thing, for example, the spectator just now did reveal the secrets of heaven.
As he said, Hu Ye made money and is very happy now.
The fat man spent money to buy tea, not only bought peerless tea, but also gained reputation. Today, just the second day after buying bird tea, his business was already very popular. Some people even reached a business worth thousands of taels of silver just to taste the taste of bird tea.
So the fat man who auctioned the one or two birds with tea was so happy that he couldn't get the upper teeth. After all, he probably earned more than 10,000 taels in a year. It was really a killing one kill.
So the fat man planned to auction it next time, no matter how much money he spent, he would be able to make a fortune.
As for whether the fat man made a lot of money, Hu Ye didn't care. He only cared about his money. Now he had another 10,000 taels of silver, and Qingtian Hospital would have extra project funds. In two months, the construction should be completed, and the infamy that Old Man Lou had in his hands should be eliminated.
As for Yin Changlong, he looked at Hu Ye like a monster and felt that he was really a waste of resources before. How could he calculate it? He has drunk more than one or two taels of raw bird tea these days, which means that he drinks at least thousands of taels of silver every day. He just wants to spit out all the tea so that he can make more money. Maybe those people in his hometown can live a better life.
"Brother Hu, have you ever thought about cheating the tea from Yan Shenggong and Zhang Tianshi? It would be a profit to share half of them." Yin Changlong gave Hu Ye an idea,
"Don't, those two old things were just slapped by me today. I guess they are still vomiting blood at home. They are also throwing away their faces and selling the tea leaves. So, I am the only one who can sell raw tea in Nanjing. If I come to the door, they might not be able to say that, so I won't suffer the loss. Besides, those seeds should be able to be picked at this time next year. At that time, this pound of tea leaves will be sold out to form a seamless connection." Hu Ye said with a smile.
"It's really difficult to take advantage of you. Maybe you will sell it at any time." Yin Changlong looked at Hu Ye's sinister smile and his heart trembled. He thought it would be better to stop Hu Ye from now on.
Compared to the fat man's boundless excitement and other thoughts of hurting and regretfulness, Zhu Yuanzhang was much calmer at this moment, as if Hu Ye had nothing special about making money to him.
"Grandpa Emperor, that kid actually dared to drive my three uncles out in public. Is he too brave?"
In front of Zhu Yuanzhang, Zhu Yunwen, who was in his twenties, said respectfully to Zhu Yuanzhang.
Everything Hu Ye did yesterday was incredible to him. If he hadn't been in front of so many people, he would have wanted to clean up Hu Ye.
"Son, does anyone in the dynasty dare to say no to the emperor?" Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly said to Zhu Yunwen.
Zhu Yunwen was stunned. Why did the Emperor ask him such a question? Isn’t this Fengma Niu not wanting to do it? But he obeyed Zhu Yuanzhang unconditionally. Although the question was strange, he still answered truthfully, "Grandpa Emperor, now all the civil and military officials in the court are obedient to the Emperor, so where can you say no to the Emperor?"
"Then do you think I am a wise king, a fool, or a tyrant?" Zhu Yuanzhang was polite to Zhu Yunwen, and even his name changed. Perhaps in this huge Nanjing city, only he, the grandson, can talk to him, or perhaps this is the true meaning of the emperor.
When Zhu Yunwen heard this, he immediately knelt down and said in a trembling voice, "Grandpa Emperor is a wise monarch of all ages. He led the people to rise up and resist the brutal rule of the Northern Yuan Dynasty, and has great achievements. No one has ever been able to defeat the past."
Zhu Yuanzhang smiled helplessly. This was the most he had heard, but even he thought it was the biggest lie. Wouldn't Zhu Yunwen know?
"Sun son, others can lie to me, but you can't lie to me, because I have no relatives in this world except you." Zhu Yuanzhang stood up, came to the trembling Zhu Yunwen, touched his head, and then continued, "I went from being a cloth artist to the current Nine Five Supreme, and I experienced many hardships during that time, so I also cherished this throne very much, fearing that someone would take it away from me."
"But since I took office, I always feel that everyone around me is peeping at my throne, so I raised the butcher knife in my hand without hesitation, Li Shanchang, Hu Weiyong, Lan Yu, etc. They are all people who conquer the world with me, but people's hearts are unpredictable. For the stability of the throne, I can only remove them one by one."
"But because of this, no one in the court dared to talk back to me again, fearing that I would raise the butcher knife in my hand. So now you can only see their compliments to me, but I understand what kind of person I am and what kind of emperor I am. Just when all of them compliments me, I was about to make myself think that I am a wise king and a saint king of all ages, a man stood up and scolded me in front of me, saying that I was a villain who ignored the pain of others for his own selfish interests."
"Don't you know, but I really want to kill that person. Although that person once gave me hope for eternity, I still hesitated at that time and just threw him into death row. I needed time to think about whether he was right or the ministers said right."
Zhu Yunwen listened motionlessly. He never thought that his emperor grandfather would suddenly say these to him, obviously all of them were heart-wrenching words.
"But do you know what happened that night?" Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly turned around. Zhu Yunwen's head, which was just about to raise, suddenly fell lower.
Zhu Yuanzhang shook his head and continued, "That night, I changed my habits for decades, woke up from Chen Shi and changed to Chen Shi three. That night, I slept more peacefully than ever before."
"On the next day, I knew the answer. Those ministers just flattered me to compliment me. That boy flattered me just to save his life. And he dared to insult me in front of so many people. Do you think he would return my three unworthy descendants, what else is there?" Zhu Yuanzhang said to Zhu Yunwen.
Zhu Yunwen's forehead was covered with cold sweat. He knew that the time for his grandfather to get up suddenly changed two days ago. He thought something had happened. It turned out to be because of Dean Hu.
And it seems that his emperor grandfather still has a good impression of Hu Ye.
"So, it's easy to find someone who can flatter you, but it's too difficult to find someone who can flatter you and you're in the face. If you find one, let him survive."
"In my life, it is impossible for me to have the same bright mirror as Emperor Taizong of Tang, because all such bright mirrors have been killed by me. Therefore, being able to have such a bronze mirror that occasionally sees me is a blessing given by God."
"Actually, I asked you to take a look at him this time, because I have been alive sooner or later, such a person will be left to you."
"Grandpa the Emperor will live forever and will live for a hundred years." Zhu Yunwen said loudly, and said it sincerely, because he really hoped that Zhu Yuanzhang would live forever so that he could be the crown prince for the rest of his life, enjoy wealth and glory every day, and not have to handle official duties every day like Grandpa, who was so tired that he was exhausted.
"Sun, you still don't understand. I'm asking Master Zhang Tian to refine elixirs, but I'm just hope in despair. I have no hope at all, otherwise I can't pay a pill yet. As for letting that kid establish a pill, I just want to see if that kid has an elixir. If he could make it, it would be good, but if he couldn't make it, he can only say that I'm going to be so lucky. God has allowed me to enjoy the emperor's destiny for thirty years. It's time for you to feel it." Zhu Yuanzhang sighed. This was the first time he had revealed this desperate mood to people. That feeling was very special.
"The grandson dares not! The grandson dares not!"
Zhu Yunwen was so scared that he was trembling. The throne was too wonderful. Whether you think about it or not, as long as the people in power thought you were thinking, then you were in danger. When Emperor Taizong of Tang was such a wise emperor, his son was also killing each other for the throne, and he was even the one who was the pusher.
So he didn't dare to think about this problem. As long as Zhu Yuanzhang is in power for one day, he will immediately extinguish this idea. Although there is a little family affection, the most part is that he is afraid of Zhu Yuanzhang.
