The Chang'an Chamber of Commerce was founded in the 18th year of Hongwu, which was the third year that Zhu An traveled through time.

Zhu An knew Zhu Yuanzhang's horror. His first place was mostly in the border areas of the Ming Dynasty, far away from the political center of the Ming Dynasty.

Due to the speed of information dissemination in ancient times, Zhu An secretly pursued a foundation here.

It was not until the 21st year of Hongwu that Zhu An felt that he was full of wings and had outstanding personal force, so he made Snow Salt public.

In less than three months, snowflake salt became popular throughout the Ming Dynasty with lightning speed.

Don’t think that under the iron pressure of Zhu Yuanzhang, the entire Ming Dynasty was like singing and dancing to peace. On the contrary, during the Hongwu period, rebellions continued in various places and wars often occurred.

Natural disasters and man-made disasters occur together, and people in many places are displaced and suffer indescribable suffering.

As the saying goes, if you are poor, you will be able to protect yourself; if you are successful, you will help the world.

To put it another way, every citizen of the Ming Dynasty can be regarded as Zhu An’s ancestor-level figure.

Although the good nine-year compulsory education system will not make Zhu An pedantic.

But when I saw the scene of selling children and eating bark with my own eyes, Zhu An’s heart was not ironic after all.

It was from that time that the Chang'an Chamber of Commerce, under the jurisdiction of Zhu An, began to collect grain in large quantities, become food, and provide disaster relief in various places.

In the grain business, Chang'an Chamber of Commerce has lost a lot of silver all year round, but what does it matter?

The huge profits exclusively monopolized by Xuehua Salt have allowed Zhu An to accumulate a large amount of assets, and these losses are completely affordable.

From the 20th year of Hongwu, in nearly five years, the Chang'an Chamber of Commerce has helped more than 300,000 people.

When Zhu Yuanzhang saw this rough statistics, his hands trembled a little, and he seemed very excited.

"What a great grandson, we are really our great grandson. We love the people as our sons. This is the true love for the people as our sons."

Zhu Yuanzhang looked extremely pleased. From the actions of the Chang'an Chamber of Commerce under the control of Dasun, it can be seen that Dasun's heart was filled with the people of the world.

In Zhu Yuanzhang's view, this was a perfect answer given to him by Zhu An.

At this moment, Zhu Yuanzhang was relieved. With Sun, what else would he be dissatisfied with?

"By the way, our Dasun Chamber of Commerce has made it so large, hasn't it been difficult?" Zhu Yuanzhang asked Jiang Yan with some confusion.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Yan paused for a moment before saying, "Mr. Zhu's chamber of commerce is quite popular with the people, and he will help calm the price of grain. Local officials are also very welcome."

"The Porridge opened among them is even more lively for the people."

"It's just that some peers, if they want to hoard some of the merchants, hate them to the core, and often report the Chang'an Chamber of Commerce to win people's hearts with food."

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded slightly. Such behaviors were indeed suspected of winning people's hearts, but Dasun was the future emperor of the Ming Dynasty.

These are naturally nothing, and they will have a good reputation when talking about them in the future.

"How did the officials handle these things?" Zhu Yuanzhang asked.

"Your Majesty, local officials are not like the ones who are rotten wood, so they will naturally not bewitched by them. If something happens to the disaster victims, they will affect their black hats."

Jiang Yan explained. There was only one thing that he hid in his heart and didn't say.

All the merchants who reported the news were later looted by local bandits.

There is no need to report these matters to His Majesty. How could a gentle and elegant person like Mr. Zhu collude with local bandits?

Someone must have framed the case. There is no need to say such a matter of no evidence and rumor, so as not to affect Mr. Zhu’s image in His Majesty’s heart.

People will consider themselves, even if it is Jiang Yan.

He was absolutely loyal to His Majesty, but as the commander of the Jinyiwei, he almost offended all the civil and military officials in the court.

In the court, no civil and military minister could have seen him.

Your Majesty is old now. If he goes there one day, he will not be valued by the new emperor.

I'm afraid there won't be any good ending.

He is always by His Majesty's side. Although he is silent, he never makes his own remarks.

But he is not a fool. He can't guess his identity as Mr. Zhu, so he is not qualified to be the commander of the Jinyiwei.

"Well, you can still distinguish right from wrong, good from evil."

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded with satisfaction. The behavior of local officials made him sigh that some of the corrupt officials he had executed for many years had achieved results.

"By the way, no one who went to the Western Regions to investigate the situation has come back. We still want to see what Dasun's methods are."

"A businessman's identity as a businessman, Xuehuayan has been in his hand for four years, and it is difficult for him to be exposed."

Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly remembered this and asked Jiang Yan.

"Your Majesty, there is no news from the Western Regions yet. There may be some obstacles in the investigation. After all, there are many countries there, so it is indeed more troublesome."

"But as usual, news should have come in the past few days."

Jiang Yan reported the report, and at the same time he secretly prayed in his heart.

Mr. Zhu, Mr. Zhu, don’t kill my people, that’s really the flood that washed away the Dragon King Temple.

In the Western Regions, some clues about snowflake salt were quickly judged by Jiang Yan.

The power of Chang'an Chamber of Commerce there is probably extremely powerful.

He originally wanted to collect enough evidence to report the matter to His Majesty.

It happened to be here in the capital, and by chance, it was discovered that the person who controlled the Chang'an Chamber of Commerce was Mr. Zhu.

So Jiang Yan suppressed this matter. After all, it was just his personal guess.

The information transmission requirements of the Jinyiwei are extremely strict. According to common sense, information from the Western Regions should have arrived two days ago.

But to this day, there is still no news, I am afraid that something has happened.

"Okay, you go back first, we have to deal with the memorial."

Zhu Yuanzhang didn't care too much, and he wasted too much time. He was likely to be busy until late tonight again.

After Jiang Yan left, he felt a little uneasy. He always felt that the people he sent were likely to fall on Mr. Zhu's side.

"No, I have to find a way to secretly tell Mr. Zhu that if something really happens, I can't explain it."

After pondering for a while, Jiang Yan decided to communicate with Mr. Zhu in secret.

Now that Your Majesty knows that Xuehuayan belongs to Mr. Zhu, he will not make too many ideas, and the matter will be slowed down.

But those brothers of the Jinyiwei are his subordinates.

At this moment, Zhu An was in the study room in the yard, checking the information reported by branches in various places.

"Hey, there are Jinyiweis who were sent by the capital in the Western Regions."

"Sure enough, the profit of Snowflake Salt is too huge. Even His Majesty will be jealous of the capital."

Zhu An showed contemplative expression on his face, and it was a troublesome thing to deal with the Jinyiwei.

If it really makes a big deal, His Majesty issued an edict to investigate the frontier army thoroughly, it would be difficult to deal with.

"Let's keep it closed first. Anyway, it's not going to take two months, so I should set off and leave the Ming Dynasty."

"Calculate the time, the sea ships over there should be almost done."

at the same time,

On the border of the Western Regions, in a cellar in a deserted and remote village.

Seven Jinyiweisers wearing flying fish suits were tied up in various shapes and locked under the cellar.

Just a few days ago, when a group of seven people were conducting investigations separately,

I was knocked out and fainted one after another, and I woke up here.
