Daming: Refining zombies at the beginning, Lao Zhu was shocked

Zhu Biao didn't know what to say for a while!

Is the old man really old?

As people get older, they tend to have random thoughts. As the saying goes, if you think about something during the day, you will dream about it at night. If you think too much during the day, you will have nightmares at night!

What is this old man thinking about all day long?

Can you still think about these sons?

A dream like this... If it were just that Zhu Biao died young or something, Zhu Biao would have no choice but to accept it, and he wouldn't care, since it's not true anyway!

But if these words reach the ears of the second child Zhu Xi, what will he think?

You know, the second child is probably being escorted by Jin Yiwei on the way back to Beijing now. If he hears such news, he will be frightened to death, right?

"My lord, you have been with my father all day long. Have you noticed anything wrong with my father recently?"

Zhu Biao turned his attention to Wang Chen and asked suspiciously.

"Well... this old slave didn't notice anything wrong!"

"If there is anything really different from before, it is that the emperor often talks to himself, and the expression on his face is always changing!"

Wang Chen tried hard to recall what was wrong with Zhu Yuanzhang these days. After much deliberation, he could not think of anything else strange.

"Talk to yourself?"

Zhu Biao's brows furrowed. Could it be that the old man really suffered from hysteria because of old age?

"Okay, you go back to take care of your father first. You will also go to Fengtian Palace to see my father for a while and say hello to my father!"

Zhu Biao had no choice but to let Wang Chen go back first.

After Wang Chen left, Mrs. Lu walked out from the side.

Apparently she also heard the conversation between Wang Chen and Zhu Biao just now!

"Prince, I have made some chicken soup here. How about you take it to Fengtian Palace later and help the old man recuperate?"

Lu said diligently to Zhu Biao, as if she was afraid that she would lose the chance to perform.

"You'd better rest. Don't get involved in the old man's affairs from now on, let alone cause trouble to me!"

Zhu Biao glanced at Lu, but frowned dissatisfied and scolded.

Lu was asking for trouble and could only curl her lips and retreat.

……

Hanzhong, the Palace of the Prince of Han.

Zhu Li is planning the future development layout of Hanzhong City in his study.

At present, the road reconstruction in the city is in progress. Next, we need to plan the development layout of the entire city, as well as the use of some fields and open spaces outside the city.

According to Zhu Yue's idea, he will also build some industrial zones outside Hanzhong City in the future!

Concentrating all factories in one area makes unified management more convenient!

"Your Highness, Shopkeeper Chen from Wanbao Bank, Shopkeeper Wan from Hongqingzhai, and several rows of wealthy businessmen in the city are all here!"

At this moment, Zhao Jian came to the door of the study and reported to Zhu Yue.

"The speed is quite fast. Let them go to the front hall. I will be there soon!"

After Zhu Yue heard this, he put down the pen in his hand and gave instructions slowly.

Not long after, Zhu Li came to the front hall and saw several wealthy local businessmen from Hanzhong Prefecture waiting here!

"The common people pay homage to His Highness the King of Han!"

After seeing Zhu Yue, a group of wealthy businessmen hurriedly bowed respectfully!

"You don't have to be polite, just sit down and talk!"

Zhu Li waved his hand and motioned for everyone to sit down and talk.

Recently, through the improvement of Zhu Querk, the technological level of the salt making plant has been significantly improved, and the quality of the refined salt produced is getting better and better!

Nowadays, the refined salt produced by Zhu Yue can be said to be the best in the world. It is several grades higher than the tribute salt used in Yingtianfu Palace!

Of course, Zhu Yue also knew that if he produced such high-quality refined salt in Hanzhong, it would not take long for him to attract the attention of the court!

So Zhu Yue wants to make a big profit first before the court reacts!

In the past two days, Zhu Yue has been discussing cooperation with many local families doing business!

"The king asked you to come over. There is nothing else to do. The salt business has also given you time to think about it. You must give me a positive reply today!"

"My king's request is also very simple, that is, each of your families must eat an amount of one thousand dan. Remember, it is one thousand dan per month!"

Zhu Li raised a finger and stated his request straight to the point.

Since you want to do something, you have to do it on a big scale. Naturally, it’s boring to do it in a small way!

"His Royal Highness the King of Han, it is not impossible for our family to swallow a thousand stones a month, but the most important problem is the price!"

"How much does your high-quality refined salt cost?"

Several wealthy businessmen are obviously very interested in the salt business, but they are more concerned about profits!

"The price is easy to negotiate. I can make the decision and give you an internal price for those of you present. Each bucket of refined salt only costs 15 Wen!"

"However, I said earlier that it will only be sold in the northwest region, and the price must not exceed 50 cents per bucket!"

"If I find out that any of you dare to ship goods at a price higher than 50 cents per bucket, don't blame me for turning against you!"

Zhu Li warned several wealthy businessmen with a serious face.

The official price of salt in the Ming Dynasty, which is the salt consumed by ordinary people on a daily basis, is about 100 Wen per bucket!

The price of 50 cents per dou is equivalent to Zhu Yue directly driving down the price of salt in the Ming Dynasty!

But in fact, the current price of salt in the Ming Dynasty is inflated. It is maintained at 50 cents per dou to ensure that every common person can afford it. This is a reasonable level!

It is a pity that the salt produced by the imperial court is not only of poor quality, but even the output cannot keep up!

In many areas, even if people have money, they may not be able to buy enough salt!

If we want to change this situation, we must improve the quality of salt on the one hand, and more importantly, increase the production of salt!

Zhu Yue can do all of these two things!

Moreover, the cost of a bucket of salt here in Zhu Yue is basically just a few cents. Even if a bucket of salt is shipped for 15 cents, Zhu Yue can guarantee that the profit of a bucket of salt is more than ten cents!

Giving these merchants who initially started doing business with him a price of 15 cents per dou also ensured that these merchants could basically guarantee a net profit of cents per dou, which was already very good!

For expenses such as transportation, labor, etc., these merchants can control the cost to around 30 yuan. If the quantity is large, the cost can be further reduced!

"Isn't it too little to sell such a good refined salt for only 50 Wen?"

"The imperial court's official salt also costs 100 copper coins per dou!"

One of the wealthy businessmen said hesitantly.

"These are the rules set by this king, you just need to abide by them!"

“If you don’t agree with this pricing, you can just leave!”

Zhu Yue's tone was unquestionable, because this time he was mainly engaged in short-term profit-making business, clearance sales, and making a lot of money when the court didn't react!

ps: Why don't you say anything, even if it's to urge for updates? As long as someone urges for updates, updates must be added, otherwise the author will really feel that he is writing a stand-alone game, blah blah blah!
