Daming: I became Zhu Yuanzhang's eldest son

These few days, Zhu Yuanzhang was in a very good mood, because Daming suddenly changed the currency system, and all silver and copper coins had to be converted into gold coins for overseas trade.

Moreover, there are very strict regulations on the weight and fineness of gold coins.

When these regulations were passed on, the profiteers who came across the sea complained endlessly, and everyone looked at each other in blank dismay.

It is said that Daming people have a lot of stupid money, and there is gold everywhere. I am afraid that you will not pick it up, but when you arrive, you will find that it is rumors that kill people.

I don't know who is assisting me, but the officials of Daming have become smarter. All the currencies that need to buy goods from Daming must be exchanged for gold, and they must be minted into gold ingots with certain regulations at the designated treasure bureau.

If the purity of the gold is not enough, miscellaneous fees need to be deducted. After a set of policies, those profiteers feel less contemptuous, so they have to put their tails together and do business with Daming honestly.

After buying the goods from Daming, they have to pay a large amount of transaction tariffs, which means that they want to keep most of the huge profits they made in Daming, which is really depressing.

After these people left the country by boat, they discussed among themselves, since Daming should not be taken advantage of, then only those buyers who enjoy themselves will be taken advantage of.

What else can I do?Raise the price.

Zhu Yuanzhang didn't care how the price went up when they returned to their homeland. The only thing he cared about was that gold was continuously entering the Ming treasury.

The Panlongzhu and those plaques on my Golden Temple can be repainted with gold powder. This is something that I never dared to think about before. Tao'er is really our lucky star!

Thinking of this, his idea of ​​asking Zhu Tao to become an official became more determined, but this kid's mouth is too bad, and he vowed to wait until we, Long Yubintian, to become an official.

Why did we have such a silly son, and when we were depressed, a eunuch suddenly came to report.

"Your Majesty, Duke Xu of the State of Wei is asking to see you."

"Call him in."

Xu Da walked in anxiously, and got straight to the point after saluting.

"My lord, I want to ask you one thing."

"We are brothers, let's talk straight!"

"That kid Xu Zengshou used to be blind and went to Zhujiazhuang to make troubles, but he has been taught a lesson. He was punished to stay at home and think about his mistakes. The effect is very good. Now he has changed his ways and made good. I implore the superior to give him another chance to take the blame and make meritorious service."

Because Xu Da is usually modest and cautious, the imperial prelude is also quite decent.

Zhu Yuanzhang had a good impression of him, and he didn't want to embarrass his youngest son. Hearing what he said, he fell off the donkey.

"It just so happens that Li Dongmei, the admiral of the newly established Adept Factory, was promoted to the eunuch of the Inner Palace Supervision. There is no one to take care of a lot of things in the Adept Factory. Since Zengshou is idle at home, let him manage the Adept Factory for us."

Hearing Zhu Yuanzhang's words, Xu Da immediately changed his bitter face.

"Superior, although the youngest son of the minister is not good enough, he should not be punished, but the crime should not be punished by castration. Please forgive him."

When he said this, Zhu Yuanzhang was stunned: "What are you doing? When did we say that we will sentence Zengshou to palace punishment?"

"Didn't you say you called him the boss of the expert factory?"

"Acting agent! I can't find any suitable staff among the eunuchs. I want Zengshou to supervise the servants in the expert factory as a confidant and foreign relative, lest they have no restrictions and go out to misbehave and arouse public resentment."

Hearing what Zhu Yuanzhang said, Xu Da was relieved, and quickly knelt down to kowtow to Zhu Yuanzhang to thank him.

"Xu Da, how many times have we said this? When there are no outsiders, there is no need to be so formal between us brothers. Is it necessary for you to meet outsiders like this?"

Xu Da said respectfully: "Brotherhood is always there, but the courtesy of a monarch and his ministers cannot be discarded. The ministers and brothers stick to the way of ministers, and they will do their best for the superior, and will not hesitate to do so."

Hearing what he said, Zhu Yuanzhang was very pleased and patted him on the shoulder.

"You ask Zengshou to submit a resume to us, so go and perform the job, tell him to do a good job, and we will never treat him badly."

The court was full of turmoil, but Zhu Tao didn't care about it in Zhujiazhuang. He deleted some unreasonable assumptions from Wang Qingren's "Yi Lin Gaicuo" in the late Qing Dynasty, sorted out some of the insights, and prepared to publish it.

At the invitation of Shen Wan'er, she contributed an article on the recipe of Yimian in the "Da Ming Cuisine" section of the Evening News.

The so-called Yimian is a kind of noodle delicacy born in the Qing Dynasty. It is the predecessor of instant noodles. It was named Yimian because the inventor was named Yi Bingshou.

Although this thing is very common in later generations, it was the first time in the Ming Dynasty. It is a pity that it can only be fascinated. Although it has been made and published in Ming Dynasty Cuisine, it still cannot be made.

There were also different opinions among the people, and she had no choice but to come to Zhu Tao's village and ask for the Yi noodles made by Zhu Tao himself.

Before submitting this manuscript, Zhu Tao had already had the idea of ​​launching this delicacy, Wan'er's manuscript.In fact, he was advertising the restaurant he planned to open in the future.

So he deep-fried the noodles long ago and let them dry out. When Wan'er came, he took the dried noodles and said to Wan'er, "Lingyu, let me show you a new skill."

Putting this thing in boiling water and adding certain seasonings, since it automatically becomes a delicacy with a complete color, flavor and taste, Wan'er's fingers are twitched when she sees it.

Just as the two of them were about to have this romantic lunch, an unexpected guest came outside Zhuangzi. It was Xu Zengshou who had come here to make trouble under the pseudonym Wang Dahui.

It's just that he and Zhu Tao have settled down recently, and helped Zhu Tao solve many problems with the venue for the experiment. The personal relationship between the two is not bad.

Arriving at Zhu Tao's residence, he smelt the smell of rice and rushed in: "It smells delicious, give me a bowl too."

Zhu Tao didn't treat him as an outsider, so he served him a bowl, and asked him why he was free to come here, and did his bodyguard father fix him recently?
Xu Zengshou shook his head. In fact, he was also very helpless. He just told Xu Da not to do this job at home, so he ran out after being kicked.

Immediately complained to Zhu Tao.

"It's hard to say. The old man entrusted Duke Fu to find me an errand. He asked a man like me to manage a group of eunuchs in the palace. I was annoyed by those sissies, and I didn't want to stay for a moment. Just followed My father said I was going to resign, so he practiced iron fists for a while, so I had no choice but to go to the young master's house for a meal during my spare time."

Zhu Tao smiled and didn't speak, Xu Zengshou suddenly complained.

"To be honest, Young Master, I'd rather come to you to feed the pigs than be the owner of such an expert factory. Otherwise, I'd better hang out with you and eat and drink here, so I won't go out. "
