Chapter 21: The Damned System
As Zhu An sent secret letters from the yard, hundreds of experts from the chamber of commerce moved and rushed to the capital from all over the Ming Dynasty.
It is difficult to steal people from Zhu Yuanzhang.
If anyone else had no courage, Zhu An would dare to do this.
The biggest reliance is his personal force, otherwise this matter would definitely not be successful.
Zhu An naturally couldn't be so stupid that he would go and rob people when Zhu Yuanzhang gave the order.
That is not robbing people, that is seeking death.
Zhu An could get out by himself, but those good players who were trained, and even the entire Chang'an Chamber of Commerce were about to be destroyed by Zhu Yuanzhang.
So this time point for grabbing people is very important.
When is the best time to save people.
Naturally, it is not possible now. First of all, Zhu An does not have enough staff in the capital. Ye Wanqing, including his father and maid, had at least three people.
Although my future father-in-law doesn't like this now, he can't just give up like this and try his best to achieve the best of both worlds.
It's easy to leave now, but then my future father-in-law will definitely not agree. He can't tell him that he has the ability to predict the future, saying that next month, Jingning Hou will be killed by His Majesty, and the three tribes of Yi.
I guess I will be treated like a lunatic.
The best time point is that when Jingning Hou was taken down from prison and Zhu Yuanzhang had not yet been convicted, it was the best time to take Ye Wanqing and others away.
Zhu An carefully studied the "Da Ming Law" and "Da Gong".
Even if Zhu Yuanzhang wanted to kill him directly, it would take at least two days to be held in the name of the Hu Weiyong case in Jingning Hou.
At this time point and when the nature is not completely fixed, even if the Jinyiwei monitors Jingning Hou, there will definitely not be too many people.
When it comes to such a major case, Ye Wanqing's father would naturally not be so ignorant that he would wait for death in the Jingning Hou Mansion.
Zhu An thought carefully about the entire action in his mind in his study. After not finding any obvious loopholes, he stood up and prepared to leave the yard.
The remaining details and information can only be collected after people arrive at Nanjing City.
The reason why we started the layout more than a month in advance is that Zhu An does not have much staff in Nanjing at present.
As the capital of the Ming Dynasty, at the foot of the emperor.
The power of the Jinyiwei in Nanjing is too strong.
The Jinyiwei not only monitors Ming officials, but also has strong supervision efforts for all major families, forces, and outsiders in Nanjing.
If Zhu An set up too many people in Nanjing, he would easily be able to follow the clues and find some clues.
It doesn't matter now. If you are leaving anyway, you will definitely be discovered.
However, with the speed of information dissemination in ancient times and various restrictions on various conditions, it will be at least several months when Zhu An's identity is found out.
At that time, maybe Zhu An had already arrived outside the territory of the Ming Dynasty.
"At that time, let's leave the teahouse industry to the old man."
It was only a short distance from the yard to the teahouse, and soon Zhu An arrived in front of the teahouse.
"Miss Wanqing has arrived, and soon sent the maid to bring a letter."
The shopkeeper saw Zhu An and quickly said thousands of times, and took out a letter from his arms.
Liu Bo knew in his heart that Zhu An’s feelings for Miss Wanqing could not be delayed.
But if the boss goes to the yard, he should not disturb him if it is not a big deal. This is the rule set by the boss, so Liu Bo is just waiting in the teahouse.
Zhu An took the letter, a hint of joy flashed in his eyes, and went straight upstairs.
Ye Wanqing is Zhu An, whom he recognized as his wife at first sight when he came to this Ming Dynasty.
Just after looking at those pure eyes, Zhu An felt that his breathing seemed to have stopped.
Although Ye’s father looked down upon because of his identity as a businessman.
But Zhu An knew that Ye Wanqing must be his own, and there was no doubt that.
Looking at the little things mentioned above in the letter, it seemed to be just a small matter, but the meaning of longing filled the lines.
At the end of the letter, Ye Wanqing mentioned that he hoped to travel to Qinhuai with Zhu An on the seventh day of the seventh month.
"Why did I forget the Chinese Valentine's Day?"
Zhu An slapped his head and then remembered that today's third day of the seventh month, and four days later, it will be the Chinese Valentine's Day.
The Chinese Valentine's Day in the Ming Dynasty is also called the Qiqiao Festival. Although it is a lover's festival, it is better to say it is an important festival for single women in the current Ming Dynasty.
In ancient times, women with slightly good family conditions were usually called ladies.
Ladies from a family cannot show up casually. If guests come to their homes, they also need to avoid suspicion.
During the melee at the end of the Yuan Dynasty, no one paid attention to these customs in the face of life.
But it is already the 25th year of Hongwu. Most single women were born during the Hongwu period and were very concerned about major festivals like the Chinese Valentine's Day.
The Chinese Valentine's Day should be the happiest day for single women. Even during the Spring Festival, many women may not be able to visit each other in new clothes. Men usually call on their homes to visit relatives and friends.
Only on the Chinese Valentine's Day, single women in the Ming Dynasty can wear costumes and go out to party and play with their sisters in a generous manner.
Zhu An could even imagine that Ye Wanqing would definitely dress up on that day.
"So, what should I wear that day."
Suddenly, Zhu An was very unhappy about Zhu Yuanzhang's dressing policy.
Scholars, farmers, industry and commerce,
As the lowest level of businessman, he could not even wear silk and satin, but could only wear linen.
Imagining myself wearing a linen cloth and standing next to Ye Wanqing, Zhu An suddenly felt extremely embarrassed.
He could not imagine the scene.
Men are always very proud of their face.
At this moment, Zhu An hated Zhu Yuanzhang a little.
Many wealthy businessmen will wear secretly at home, but they will never dare to show off outside.
Once reported, it will be a matter of being imprisoned at the least, or a beheaded at the worst.
In the Ming Dynasty, merchants were listed as equals as servants and prostitutes.
This is true no matter how rich a businessman you are.
The reason why Ye’s father opposed his daughter marrying Zhu An was not because of his appearance.
Business is the most critical factor.
The Ming Dynasty's regulations on clothing were extremely strict. If there was any violation of the rules or transgressions, they would be severely punished.
Especially, if one person in the family is a merchant, the whole family is not allowed to wear silk yarn.
In the history of the Ming Dynasty, the status of merchants was the lowest during the Hongwu period, but by the Yongle period, when Zhu Di was in power, the status of merchants gradually recovered.
But that's all eight years later.
The Chinese Valentine's Day is imminent.
Zhu An, who had always been holding Zhizhu, was a little helpless at this moment.
