Daming: I became Zhu Yuanzhang's eldest son

In fact, Zhu Tao didn't need his strong recommendation at all, as long as these people don't make trouble.

If he really recommends it, the Ministry of Household Affairs will vigorously promote it, and then it will be the court's business to make money, and I will have to give up this project for free.

Anyway, it is a good thing that benefits the country and the people. Between making money for himself and making money for the court, Zhu Tao of course chooses the former.

After thinking of this, he said immediately.

"Master Zhang, you don't need to be too polite. You are the official of the household department, and I'm just an ordinary man from the manor. To be honest, as long as my small workshop doesn't get into any trouble, it can be regarded as a high incense."

As for Zhang Bofu, he was just being polite to him, and naturally he didn't really want to recommend anything to him.

After listening, he changed the topic and said, "Okay, I'll go back and report back. I'm here to trouble you this time. Let's get in touch more in the future, and we will meet later."

This time, he didn't even enter the door of the workshop, and took people back directly.

Looking at the back of the household secretary, Zhu Tao couldn't help shaking his head.

If every Ming official who went out on business had this kind of virtue, then ordinary people would only suffer.

However, this is something that the censors should care about. As long as they are not affected, then it doesn't matter.

Two days later, Zhu Di came to Zhu Tao's village. He heard that oil was being squeezed on a large scale, and the black beans had also been harvested a while ago, so he was about to discuss the acquisition.

The two brothers chatted while eating the snacks made by Zhu Tao himself. This scene was very harmonious.

Zhu Di asked the question he was most concerned about at present: "Cousin, how much black beans do you have now? I heard that after eating this food, war horses will be more energetic, and it is much better than ordinary forage. The imperial court will soon march into Liaodong , the State Commercial Department was ordered to purchase, and this price must be indispensable."

Of course, if you have money, you can talk about anything, and Zhu Tao will not refuse this opportunity to make money, he replied with a smile.

"Brother Si, I still have 50 catties of black beans in the experimental field of Huaxiang Village. You can have someone transport them away immediately. If the effect is good, I will save more for you in the next batch."

Although 50 catties is not much, it is enough for a period of time. Besides, if there are new grain reserves in the future, and energy sources continue to arrive at the front line, Zhu Di will naturally be overjoyed.

He also asked about the oil extraction. The Guoshang Division had previously undertaken the business of grain and oil. If Zhu Tao's oil press could be promoted to the Guoshang Division, then his bank balance would be further guaranteed.

"Cousin, you are really good now. You can't just keep this small oil press workshop with dozens of machines. The efficiency has exceeded the mill capacity of ten thousand people. You can't just keep good things for yourself. Turn around We also have to give our Guoshang Company a few oil presses."

Regarding this aspect, Zhu Tao has no reservations. He can give [-] oil presses to Majiazhuang for free, so it is not a big deal to give Zhu Di a few more.

So he smiled and replied: "Don't worry, Brother Si, I will arrange this matter. After ten days, you send someone to pick it up. I will give you [-] oil presses from Guoshangsi for free, so that you can use it under His Royal Highness Yan Wang." Where is the face."

For Zhu Tao's expression, Zhu Di is naturally very grateful, this cousin is really too reliable.

At this time, Zhu Tao suddenly changed the topic and asked Zhu Di.

"Brother Si, do you know a Hubu doctor named Zhang Bofu? This guy looks like he's been shot. What's his background?"

Zhu Di thought for a while, and then replied: "I have heard about this person too. He is the brother-in-law of His Royal Highness Zhu Gui, the acting king. Will you know him?"

Zhu Tao explained to Zhu Di about Zhang Bofu showing off his power in his own village and blackmailing him.

After listening, Zhu Di slapped the table and said solemnly: "You are really a shameless villain. How about it, Brother Tao, leave this matter alone and leave it to me. I will definitely teach him a good lesson."

Zhu Tao already knew at this time that since this person was Dai Wang's brother-in-law, his fourth cousin was only Yan Wang's confidant.

If King Yan punishes the person acting as the king, it may cause dislike among the princes, and they don't want to cause trouble for the cousin.

Thinking of this level, Zhu Tao said indifferently: "Brother Si, I appreciate your kindness, but when people come to observe, there will be no disciples, and if the water is clear, there will be no fish. If he stops here, this matter will be over." If he is greedy and comes to blackmail again, I will naturally have a way to deal with him."

After hearing this, Zhu Di became interested. As the King of Yan and the elder brother of the Dai Wang, he would naturally stop talking about a brother-in-law who was going to be the entire Dai Wang, but even if Zhu Tao won the favor of his father again, then He didn't have a public identity, so how could he deal with a Hubu doctor who was related to Dai Wang.

"Cousin, you're not going to be violent, are you? You know, you don't have any fame, and if you want to deal with a fifth-rank official, no matter how rude and shameless he is, it's your fault if you beat him. Equipped with three thousand miles."

Zhu Tao smiled, and said very calmly: "Only children can solve problems by fighting. I have more suitable tricks, and there are more than one trick. How to do it depends on how he provokes me." To what extent."

Seeing Zhu Di's earnest face and attentive listening, Zhu Tao continued.

"Since this guy is the brother-in-law of His Royal Highness Daiwang, I will find a few people to go to the street to promote him. Since he can blackmail me, he will not stop others. However, when I publicize, I only need to pass the The relative relationship between him and Dai Wang should be highlighted. Brother Si, Princess Zhou’s uncle is tossing around outside under the banner of King Zhou. Do you know the final result? The emperor has been harming his relatives and in-laws all the time. Legal affairs are suppressed."

Of course Zhu Di knew that Zhou Wang's concubine, Feng Shi, and her uncle Feng Yong were arrested by Zhu Yuanzhang personally ordering soldiers and horses because they bullied the people under the brand of Uncle Princess, and then several Xiaoqi whipped to death.

While he was in a daze, Zhu Tao continued: "As for whether His Royal Highness knows about Zhang Bofu's actions, it is actually not important at all. The important thing is that if the emperor thinks that he has poured dirty water on the royal family, I am afraid that he will end up as well." Not much better than Feng Yong."

At this moment, Zhu Di immediately realized that Zhu Tao's plan could basically kill people invisibly. If Zhang Bofu, who is not open-eyed, really wants to die by himself, then no one can save him.

And this is just a random one of the many strategies that Zhu Tao said. Thinking of this, Zhu Di couldn't help thinking, fortunately, he and Zhu Tao are not enemies.
