Daming prepares the emperor

Zhu Yuanzhang went to visit his sons in the backyard, and focused on "educating" the disobedient ones. After exercising to eliminate the fatigue caused by half a day's work, he ate lunch at Ma Xiuying's.

After eating, the two sat under the shade of the trees in the yard, one embroidered and the other read the paperwork. Although they didn't speak, a warm atmosphere naturally flowed between them.

Looking at the battle report in his hand, Comrade Zhu became more and more happy. After thinking about it in his heart, he thought that this year he could try to be king first. If he is famous, he should be able to win Wuchang next year.

And when we become king, my sister is the princess, and Biaoer is the son, tsk tsk, beautiful.

At that time, we will open a piece of land in the mansion, plant some side dishes in spring, eat some ice cream in summer, roast sweet potatoes in autumn, play with snow in winter, and warm up on the kang...

"Heavy eight, heavy eight!"

"Huh?" Zhu Yuanzhang raised his head in response.

"What are you thinking? Look, your pen has dropped to the ground."

"It's nothing." Zhu Yuanzhang picked up the pen casually, stroked the ashes on it, and threw it on the table, "Sister, the bird you embroidered is so beautiful."

"This is a mandarin duck." Ma Xiuying smiled, "I'll make you a purse after the embroidery is finished."

"What do we want a purse for? It's so gaudy. Don't embroider it. It hurts your eyes. Many embroiderers in landlords' homes just embroider too much, and they can't see clearly later."

"This is the rule. During the Spring Festival, civil and military officials all wear new purses, but you don't have one. What do you think?"

"New Year?" Zhu Yuanzhang felt dizzy. "How many months has it been? How come I haven't seen you embroider before? Besides, we just don't wear clothes. Do they dare to speak ill of us?"

Ma Xiuying laughed and said: "Before you were busy, who knows if you will come back for the New Year, who will I make a purse for? Don't worry about it, I will practice first, embroidery patterns, but it is very difficult, what do you know?"

"Cheng Chengcheng. The girl has the final say."

Zhu Yuanzhang poured a glass of water to drink, and prepared to continue his struggle. At the same time, he chatted: "Sister, let's have noodles tonight, use cold well water, sprinkle some green onions, garlic and peppers..."

Wu Ce's figure suddenly appeared outside the door, and he was passed in after the guard Li Li notified him.

"what's up?"

Wu Ce took out a sealed letter box from his arms, and said in a low voice, "This is a message from a secret post in the city. He said that the young master wanted to give it to the marshal, and his subordinates did not check it without authorization."

"Let's take a look." Zhu Yuanzhang took the knife from him, pried off the lid of the cylinder, poured out the scroll, and read it.

There is Zhu Biao's letter on the scroll, and a portrait painted by a hidden post.

"What happened?" Ma Xiuying asked concerned.

"Interesting. Biao'er said that he met a businessman from Hangzhou who wanted to resell grain. With our relationship here, when Zhang Shicheng loses, he can save himself a way out."

"Then this matter is not easy, and we need to be careful." Ma Xiuying said, "The businessman who can come from Hangzhou at this time must be very important and courageous. He may not be sure. He is here on behalf of the Chamber of Commerce. There may be several big businessmen behind him." family."

"Wu Ce, go and check. Find out where this Zhou Yirong has been, how he got here, and who he has contacted with. Then go and look at the secret files in Hangzhou, and ask with our brand name."

"Yes."

After a while, Wu Ce came back.

"Marshal, this person is indeed from Hangzhou. He didn't stop along the way. He only replenished basic dry food and water. He really went straight to Yingtian. Check the records on the checkpoint. He also brought dozens of guards. The goods are Two loads of cloth."

"However—" Wu Ce said with murderous intent, "His name is not Zhou Yirong. His subordinates inspected the portrait, and there was no record in Hangzhou and other places. Instead, there is a registration book in Zhouzhuang."

"Who is he?"

"Shen Fu, there are rumors among the common people that he has tens of thousands of acres of fertile land and thousands of households, and they all call him Shen Wansan. Although these remarks are exaggerated, Shen Wansan is indeed the richest man in the south of the Yangtze River."

"...So, he lied to Biuer."

"Young Master and him are still in the restaurant, and the subordinates brought people there and killed him on the spot."

The voice of the dark guard was cold and vicious, and it was not humane. The weather in July and August was sweltering. When he said these words, the surroundings seemed to be a little cooler.

"No need." Zhu Yuanzhang said, "Biao'er means to ask us about his identity. If there is any problem, he will do it himself to make him unable to leave again. If there is no problem, bring it here for us to see."

"He lied, but it doesn't mean he doesn't mean to cooperate. We are new here and we don't know each other. We should be cautious."

"In that case, subordinate..."

"You give the young master the information you found out, and let him figure it out for himself. If it's really possible, bring it. Let's wait. If not, help the young master dispose of the body."

in the restaurant.

Plates of delicacies were served on the table, accompanied by unique summer snacks and drinks, as well as melons and fruits. Everyone was very happy to eat.

Zhou Yirong, no, we should call him Shen Wansan now.After all, he has many years of experience and courage in walking around. After the panic at the beginning, he gradually calmed down. Anyway, the deal is done, why not eat well?You can never treat yourself badly.

"Mr. Zhou, is there anything else you want? I'll order some more to try."

"It's gone." Shen Wansan waved his hand, "Just order a pot of green tea to moisten the stomach, and it's easy to hold on if it's too greasy."

"Little Er!" Zhu Biao called out.

"Hey, here we come!" Not far away, Xiao Er put down the rag in his hand, trotted over, bent down and asked, "What else do you want to eat? If you are full, go downstairs and pay the bill. I will clean up here."

"Let's go in a while, serve a pot of tea."

"okay!"

Xiao Er went downstairs and walked into the kitchen, and quickly brought up a tray with a pot of good tea on it. After brewing, let it cool down, and soak it in ice water.

"There are some fruits added to the tea, which can invigorate the stomach and eliminate food. The guests ordered a lot of things. Our boss said that this pot of tea is an extra gift, so we don't charge for it."

He poured cups of tea along the table, and when he got to Zhu Biao's place, he didn't know how to move. Something fell out of the black cloth apron around his waist and landed gently on Zhu Biao's leg.

Zhu Yuanzhang's words were written into a note by Wu Ce, and finally sealed. It was quickly spread all the way from the commander's mansion, and he completed his mission in less than a quarter of an hour.

With the cover of Xiaoer's body and his extraordinary eyesight, Zhu Biao read the content as if he had never opened the note.

On the surface, he still didn't express anything, and treated Shen Wansan as usual, but he was busy arranging clues and information in his heart.

This name is too familiar, rather it is too famous, so famous that he still remembers it.Whether Shen Wansan really existed has been quite controversial.

Wealthy as a country, self-made, feared by the emperor, after being exiled into the army, he went into business again and regained his vitality...

He seemed born to be in business.

It is said that he is just a collection of certain legends. In fact, his surname is not Shen, he is not very rich, and he has not been targeted by Zhu Yuanzhang. The magic factor.

Just as Zhou Papi became the embodiment of all landlords, Shen Wansan became the representative of merchants.

But no matter what, there is indeed such a person sitting in front of me now, with an erratic position, and what result he gets depends on his own choice.

Zhu Biao looked at the businessman sitting across from him who was drinking tea enthusiastically, and a golden light gradually spread out in his eyes, which no one could see or perceive.

Only Shen Wansan shuddered, as if he had seen through his underpants, he quickly raised his head and looked around, with drops of sweat dripping from the corner of his forehead.

"Brother—" Zhu Biao said.

"What's the matter?" Muying asked, he didn't know anything yet, Zhu Biao said he was coming for dinner, so he followed.

"It's getting late, let's go back, I still have a room there, stay and live with me tonight." Zhu Biao said, "Mr. Zhou, let's go together, first go to see my father, don't worry about the place to stay."

Shen Wansan sighed secretly, Zhu Biao asked all kinds of questions during this afternoon's play, no, those were not really questions, it was more like torture, there was nothing false about it, although he used cleverness, he didn't force him, but If he didn't answer, it would seem like he didn't want to live.

Long streets, alleyways, river banks, temples, markets, restaurants, there is no place where I can escape, and there is no half a chance where I can send a message.

He really felt the danger, but he also really felt the opportunity.

Big opportunity!

Those who do business must dare to forge ahead. The person who eats the crab first will get the benefits first, and the person who gets the benefits first will be the first to stand on the wind, and standing on the wind will be blown into the sky.

Who wouldn't want to go to heaven?

Walk!Just follow along.Anyway, I can't resist.

Shen Wansan thought so, until the second before he saw the handsome mansion, he was still encouraging himself, cheering up, and when he saw the plaque clearly, he almost knelt down.

"Master... Take care of everything means take care of everything, right?"

"That's understandable."

"Then how much do you hate Zhang Shicheng?"

"Must die."

Shen Wansan's hands and feet were limp, and he could not turn the jade wrench on his fingers at first—he had no strength.

Just then, a carriage stopped by the door.The person in the car was respectfully helped down by the servant, then waved him back and walked towards Zhu Biao.

"I've seen your son."

Zhu Biao hurriedly replied, "Hello, Mr. Li."

Li Shanchang stroked his beard and was still wearing a red official uniform. He seemed to be called over just after get off work, and said with a smile, "I was called by the marshal, saying that the young master has something to do. I don't know what it is?"

Zhu Biao immediately understood: "Mr. Li, please look at this."

"Oh?"

Shen Wansan took a step forward, cupped his hands and said, "I'm a businessman from Hangzhou, named Zhou..."

"His name is Shen Wansan." Zhu Biao ignored Shen Wansan's horrified eyes, and continued, "This matter is related to Zhang Shicheng's rule and our future success in attacking the city. I also ask Mr. Li to make more plans and present a charter with Shen Wansan. To my father."

"Oh!" With Li Shanchang's clever mind, he immediately understood what Zhu Biao meant.The businessman, Zhang Shicheng, only knew these two words, and he figured out what happened, "I will do it now. Mr. Shen, please."

"Ah, good, good."

After Li Shanchang and Zhu Biao left, Shen Wansan was lured into the mansion in a daze. During this period, he dug a hole in two steps and tested in three steps. Before he even entered the house, he was almost peeled off.

Mu Ying looked at their backs and asked quietly, "Biaoer, who is this Zhou Yirong? Could he be a liar?"

"If he is a liar, Mr. Li will naturally deal with it." Zhu Biao said, "Mr. Li has the talent to guide the world and the wisdom to help the world, so we can rest assured."

This sentence was throwing the pot away, and Mu Ying was choked up.

"Let's go bro." Zhu Biao said, "Didn't you say on the way that you wanted to see Liu Chubai? The tiger came back."

"Okay." Heroes love BMWs, as well as hounds and eagles. It is a good thing to hold the yellow on the left and Qingcang on the right. When mentioning a top-notch dog like Liu Chubai, Mu Ying's eyes light up, her attention is completely diverted, and she is excited And Zhu Biao left.

Willow shoots on the moon.

Li Shanchang returned home in a carriage, his children were already asleep, and all the servants were also resting, except for a few guards on night shift.

The butler asked someone to open the door, and the mansion was bustling again. In the kitchen, the fire was cooking and the maidservants came with buckets of hot water to wash Li Shanchang's face and feet.

"What do you want to eat?" Mrs. Chen was still waiting for Li Shanchang, she put on a coat and approached him and asked him.

"Let's just eat something." Li Shanchang waved his hand, "Tonight at the commander's mansion, the commander-in-chief gave me some noodles, and Mrs. Ma made it herself. I'm not hungry."

"Husband, what do you mean by this? It means that I am not as virtuous as Mrs. Ma, so I should make noodles for you."

"Hahaha... dare not dare." Li Shanchang smiled, "How dare I despise my wife? It is my blessing, Li, to marry such a gentle and elegant wife."

It was rare for the black-bellied old fox to say a word of love, but he still expressed it so bluntly, Chen blushed, and hid out with a handkerchief.

When she came in again, she had simply pulled her hair up and put on her clothes, not as shy as before.

"Why did the master come back so late? Is there a lot of work recently?"

"Business is fine. After Chen Youliang died, his site was gradually taken over by us. Although he was a bit busy, the old method is there. It is not troublesome to apply the same method. It is enough to make some changes according to the people's needs. The county magistrate sent there is even busier."

"Then this is..."

"It's an extra thing that shouldn't be taken care of by my husband."

"This shows that your husband is very capable." Chen said softly, "The current system is not complete, and there are not enough officials. It is inevitable that you have to be more busy, set an example for everyone, and think of ideas."

Li Shanchang thumped his old waist, twisted his neck and shoulders, did not say any more specific news, and asked instead: "Madam is staying up so late, are you waiting for me?"

"Yes and no." Chen Shi said, "I can't sleep for a while, so I can feel at ease when the master comes back."

"What's going on?" Li Shanchang's face became serious, and he narrowed his eyes, "Is someone talking to you? Or someone came to the house to say something?"

"No one came to mess with me, don't worry." Chen Shi said, "It was General Deng's wife who came here and chatted with me about things."

"Bo Yan?"

"Yes. His wife's surname is Cao. She's a beautiful girl, very young. I ran into him at a cosmetics shop by chance one day. We got along very well."

"What did she tell you?"

"She said that the house seemed to be haunted. The bold servant looked carefully, but found nothing. There are always trivial noises in the corner on weekdays. Many monks and priests were invited to find no results."

She continued: "This girl is very eloquent, and she tells stories so vividly that I'm even scared when I hear them."
