"Haha, if Zi'an can really do what you said, we will be the king of you and let you directly inherit the fief of your father, King Linhuai!"

At this moment, a loud voice suddenly came from outside.

"Have you met the Emperor!"

"My son has met my father!" "I have met my emperor..."

I saw Zhu Yuanzhang walked in from outside the door with a smile on his face.

Seeing this, Zhu Chuang and other princes, as if they were seeing natural enemies, their faces changed drastically and immediately became obedient!

Zhu Zi'an was watching, marveling at the side.

"What the emperor said is true?"

Zhu Zian didn't expect that his cheap fourth uncle, who had the habit of eavesdropping, secretly slandered himself in his heart, then smiled faintly and said.

In fact, I was already excited.

Oh, Prince!

It seems that there is no living prince in the entire Ming Dynasty!

Moreover, is it a prince with a fiefdom?

He has long been jealous!

However, he had never wanted to get in touch with troublesome government affairs, and his fourth uncle had never wanted to get in touch with government affairs, so he did not announce his identity to civil and military officials!

Just let Zhu Biao run around with him every day!

How could Zhu Zi feel that his fourth uncle had already cultivated a team of trust for Prince Zhu Biao without realizing it. And he was still the first?

But it doesn't matter.

My fourth uncle is someone who can survive Zhu Biao!

Moreover, as long as you do not get involved in the government affairs and have the title of prince, you can walk around as you wish in the entire Ming Dynasty!

"We are the emperor, so how can we speak incorrectly?"

This is the first time that someone dared to ask himself this, and Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help but laugh.

However, the four brothers Zhu Chuang and Zhu Di, along with the other side, looked at Zhu Zi'an in shock.

Especially after seeing that his father was not angry, he was full of admiration.

"But, we have a request!"

Zhu Zi'an continued.

"Oh? Just say it, don't say one, just ten. As long as it is reasonable, we will allow you!"

Zhu Yuanzhang asked curiously.

"Your Majesty, we want to open a shop with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!" Zhu Zi'an said.

As soon as he finished speaking, the atmosphere in the hall suddenly became quiet.

Neither Empress Ma nor Zhu Biao expected that Zhu Zian would be so bold that he would dare to talk about the store in front of the emperor!

You know, the emperor has always been very disgusted with merchants! Not to mention, let him be the prince he loves the most, and be a merchant!

Even Zhu Yuanzhang was stunned after hearing Zhu Zi'an's words!

He stared at Zhu Zi'an tightly, and after a while, he asked slowly, "Zi'an, why do you have the idea of ​​being a businessman?"

"Back to the emperor, we think that only by doing business can we make the people in the world rich and the Ming Dynasty strong!" Zhu Zian said seriously.

Of course, I dare not say the words deep in my heart!

Only by doing business can you get rich. You can eat whatever you want and enjoy whatever you want!

"oh?"

Zhu Yuanzhang had never heard of this strange theory, "Why, in our impression, merchants are evil villains, they do not produce anything, and they often speculate and make mistakes. They are parasites lying on the people, colluding with officials and businessmen to plunder the people's wealth!"

At the end, Zhu Yuanzhang hated merchants even more when he thought of his miserable experience when he was a child.

"Suppose you are rude!"

Seeing Zhu Yuanzhang's expression, Zhu Zi'an knew that things were a little beyond his imagination.

However, for the sake of his happy life in the future, Zhu Zi'an could only take a deep breath and forcibly defended.

"The emperor, scholars, farmers, industry and commerce are all social order. Scholars manage the country, farm and grain, and manufacture various objects of need. Merchants transport objects of people's lives to people in need.

However, no matter how the emperor views merchants, merchants are an indispensable part of life and economy, and are the way to make money and seek wealth in society!”

"A hundred labours are prepared for what one person needs. However, a country's strength requires hundreds of merchants to strive for it. Without merchants, there will be no place to buy daily necessities needed by farmers, and the grain grown by farmers cannot be sold to various places, so farmers will not make money, and there will be problems with their survival!

Similarly, without merchants, the objects made by workers cannot be transported to all parts of the country. If you can’t make money, people will become lazy. If this continues, society will be in chaos..."

"So, Zi'an believes that merchants are the best way for the country to prosper and use the poor to seek wealth!"

"As for the emperor's words, merchants are evil villains, and they often collude with officials and businessmen to plunder the people's wealth. Zi An also knows this. Everyone in the world seeks survival for money, and profit is the first priority.

However, we believe that as long as the legal system is sound, officials are not tempted and the people are enlightened, no matter how treacherous the businessman is, he will only do useless work! Moreover, there will be people with conscience among merchants. As long as people become rich and have delicious food every day, they will not bully the people too much against their conscience!"

After saying that, Zhu Zi'an looked at Zhu Yuanzhang tightly.

Zhu Chuang, Zhu Di and others on the side also looked at Zhu Zi'an in amazement, with stars emerging in their eyes.

At this moment, after listening to Zhu Zi'an's words, Zhu Yuanzhang looked serious and sat on the table, contemplating and silent.

"Zi'an..."

After a long time, Zhu Yuanzhang spoke slowly.

At the same time, Empress Ma, Zhu Biao and others all breathed a long sigh.

The pressure in the hall suddenly disappeared.

"What kind of store are you going to open?"

"Back to the emperor, let's prepare to open a department store first!"

Zhu Zi'an showed joy on his face and quickly replied, "Among them, mercury mirrors are the main products, sold to wealthy gentlemen all over the world, and then some daily necessities used by farmers, such as knives, hoes, sickles, etc...."

"Knife?"

Hearing this, Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help but look at Zhu Zi'an again.

"Do you want to use that steel to make knives?"

"Haha, the emperor is wise!"

Zhu Zi'an couldn't help but smile.

"It's wise!"

Unexpectedly, Zhu Yuanzhang's face changed drastically and he made swear words!

"Our army still uses iron tools now. You buy and sell steel knives that are several times harder than iron for farmers. What do you want to do?"

"Well……"

Zhu Zian really never thought about this, and he looked embarrassed.

However, this matter is easy to resolve.

Zhu Zi'an hurriedly said, "Master, why don't our teaching and working department make steel?"

"Um?"

Hearing this, Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes lit up and he stared at Zhu Zi'an tightly, "Would you hand over this secret technique? Moreover, this secret technique is not owned by the Wudang Sect?"

"Back to the emperor, we taught this secret technique to Wudang!"

Zhu Zi'an smiled proudly and replied, "Besides, this kind of steelmaking secret method is hidden in the Wudang Sect. At most, it is only forged some steel frames, knives used in daily life, and the most important thing is that it is not very useful to forge a few kilograms of steel in a year!"

"However, if it is handed over to the Ministry of Works, the resources of the entire Ming Dynasty can be used to forge steel. In this way, the entire Ming Dynasty can benefit the entire Ming Dynasty and the army can be equipped with weapons first!"

"So, let's allow you once!"

"Thank you, the Emperor..."
