Domineering Daming

Zhu Xu was dressed in exquisite trousers with patterned short hexagrams, and with his hands behind his back, he said with a smile: "If others sell a penny, you will also sell a penny, and the market is so big, it's already been divided up. You can keep your money. It's not bad."

Li Deyong breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Zhu Xu didn't intend to question the crime, but he still said bitterly: "Your Highness, it's really too bad to go on like this, it can only last for three days at most."

Zhu Xu took Li Deyong's record book casually, flipped through the progress, and nodded from time to time. Li Deyong did his best, had good ability, and was also very shrewd.

Zhu Xu looked at it and asked, "Old Cao, how much money do we have?"

Cao Wenzhao has a lot of part-time jobs, one of which is the chief steward of Jinghuan Palace. Hearing the words, he said quickly: "The sum of seven or eight is less than 5 taels."

"5 taels should last for more than a month."

Zhu Xu silently calculated for a while and said, then said after a moment of pondering: "It seems that some things have to be done in advance."

Li Deyong didn't care about the 5 taels, but what His Highness Hui Wang had to do.Working with him, there was no beating or scolding, he was relaxed and happy, and there was still a lot of money, but the current errand, he felt that it was coming to an end.

"Your Highness, what are we going to do?" Li Deyong asked.

Zhu Xu closed the record book, handed it to him, and said with a smile: "Good job, from today on, all steamed buns, noodle cakes, snacks, biscuits, etc., are all 20% off, [-]% off after ten days, and [-]% off after [-] days One month later... [-]% off!"

Li Deyong's eyes were wide open, he looked at Zhu Xu with surprise and said, "Your Highness, rice noodles are very expensive now, if we lower the price, we will lose a lot."

Zhu Xu looked at him and said, "I don't need your guarantee to make money. What I need is the market. After a month, I'll be happy if everyone in the capital buys steamed buns and snacks from us. Don't worry, I'll be there in a month. Will provide you with new material, you just need to be responsible for selling things."

Many possibilities immediately came to Li Deyong's mind, such as how to deal with the moldy rice noodles in the household department, someone bribed His Highness King Hui with rice noodles, or even "stolen goods" from the palace.

But for Li Deyong, he didn't need to care about it at all. He didn't know how many more unbearable things he had done in the palace, so he immediately offered his hospitality and said, "Don't worry, Your Highness, I will immediately let them do it with all their strength."

Zhu Xu nodded with a smile, walked around again, and then left the workshop.

"Your Highness, what plans do we have next?"

Cao Wenzhao was driving the carriage, turned around and asked Zhu Xu in the carriage.

Zhu Xu leaned on the box wall, squinted his eyes, smiled like a little fox stealing a chicken, and said, "Of course it is the most powerful plan to collect money."

"Take money?"

Cao Wenzhao was bewildered, not knowing what Zhu Xu was planning.

As soon as Zhu Xu returned to the palace, he said to Cao Huachun, "Xiao Cao, let the person who met Zhou Jianyu come to see me."

Seeing Zhu Xu's anxious face, Cao Huachun couldn't help saying quickly, "It's Your Highness."

Soon, Feng Zhu came running, and in front of Zhu Xu, he said flatteringly: "My servant has seen His Highness, what orders does His Highness have, I will do my best to complete it for you." Naturally, he was very happy. Zhu Xu rewarded him without taking a single point of the bank note.

"Come here, memorize the contents of this pamphlet, understand, and ask me if you don't understand."

Zhu Xu threw him a pamphlet, sat on his recliner, poured himself a cup of tea and left Feng Zhu alone.

Not to mention Feng Zhu, Cao Wenzhao and Cao Huachun were also stunned, wondering when and what Zhu Xu wrote.

Feng Zhu was just stunned for a moment, and quickly said, "It's Your Highness."

He was also from the Neishutang, and he taught them that they are all Hanlin. According to knowledge, it is no problem to take the exam.

But when he saw what Zhu Xu wrote, he was instantly stunned.

After a long time, he said tremblingly: "Your Highness, do you want to open a bank?"

After Feng Zhu said this, Cao Huachun and Cao Wenzhao were also stunned, and they all looked at Zhu Xu in surprise.

In fact, the little salary of the imperial family in the Ming Dynasty was not enough to feed the whole family. There were various ways to earn money, and those who wanted to start a business were considered good, but they had never used it to open a bank!

Because opening a bank in this era requires reputation. This kind of reputation does not mean that others will believe you if you are a vassal king. If you deposit money with you, it is often ten or 20 years of reputation that others will believe.

Therefore, once a bank has been opened, the really long-term and profitable bank has a reputation of decades, and no one will believe it when it pops up suddenly.

Saving money at this time is mostly for convenience or safety, because not only will there be no interest on saving money, but storage fees will also be charged.

Zhu Xu drank the hot tea, and his whole body became much more energetic. Looking at the three of them, he smiled slightly and said, "Not bad."

Seeing that the three of them hesitated to speak, they quickly waved their hands and said, "Okay, I probably know what you think, and I will deal with it. Feng Zhu, I will give you three days to memorize it. If you don't understand, ask me. I want you Be a sounding board, don't blow it up."

Feng Zhu glanced at Cao Huachun hesitantly, then he could only agree, bowing and saying, "It's Your Highness."

Zhu Xu waved his hand. After he went down, Zhu Xu looked at Cao Wenzhao and said, "Old Cao, prepare yourself. I'm going to visit my uncle in three days."

As soon as Cao Wenzhao heard it, he knew that Zhu Xu was there for Bi Maokang. He was also very curious, is the flintlock gun in His Highness's mouth so powerful?

"It's Your Highness." Cao Wenzhao agreed, glanced at Cao Huachun and said, "Your Highness, shall we go down the mountain to have a look?"

Zhu Xu shook his head slightly, not because he didn't want to, but because he had to meet Bi Maokang when he went up, what would a prince like him do in such a sensitive place?Even in the name of his imperial brother, it is estimated that Bi Maokang will be suspicious, which will lead to twists and turns.

Chapter 46 Flintlock

Three days later, Zhu Xu's carriage staggered out of the palace.

Zhu Xu sat in the carriage, staggeringly said: "Old Cao, watch carefully, don't let people follow you again."

"It's Your Highness."

Cao Wenzhao drove the car, sometimes fast and sometimes slow, and looked back from time to time to judge whether someone was following him.

"It would be much more convenient if there was a mirror."

Zhu Xu looked at Cao Wenzhao's hard work, held his chin, and murmured to himself thoughtfully.

After a while, Zhu Xu asked again: "Has Feng Zhu left the palace?"

Cao Wenzhao took the opportunity to look back, and said: "We have already left the palace ahead of us, and we should wait for a while for Wei Liangqing to go."

Zhu Xu nodded slightly. If he talked faster, he might still be able to catch up.

After a long time, Zhu Xu said, "Is anyone following you?"

Cao Wenzhao looked a little strange, hesitantly said: "Your Highness, it's hard to be sure, someone followed us from time to time, but not the one when we left the palace."

Zhu Xu raised his brows, knowing in his heart that since his fifth brother was so smart, since he knew that he had discovered the stalking, he probably thought of other ways, such as cross-tracking people and segments.

Zhu Xu smiled, and said wickedly: "Find a corner and let me get off the car, and then you drive the car and take them around the Forbidden City. You may not know where Fifth Brother is waiting for me. You find a chance and block it." Their line of sight enters a brothel, making them feel that I have also entered, and I will go back at night."

Cao Wenzhao was startled, without any objection, he said, "Your Highness, what should you do?"

"It's okay, I'll ask my uncle to send me a carriage." Zhu Xu said with a sly smile, "However, next time I will get a few more carriages outside the palace, and let someone take them for fun."

Cao Wenzhao immediately understood Zhu Xu's thoughts, and said with a smile: "Okay, I will make arrangements when I go back tonight, so I don't worry that His Highness Xin Wang will not be able to keep up."

Not long after, the carriage stopped at a corner, and Cao Wenzhao hurriedly said, "Your Highness, hurry up!"
