The teahouse business continues to be booming, and Zhu Ying has made a lot of money.
"My boss, business in the capital is so good. The money comes in really fast."
Uncle Zhang said excitedly while holding Mr. Accountant's account book.
Zhu Ying just looked through it slightly and put it beside her.
Although Uncle Zhang has been following him, after all, he just lives a life of fighting and killing on the grassland and has never seen much of your money.
The savage Jurchen is obviously also weak in arithmetic.
For Zhu Ying, the small amount of money in the teahouse was really just a drop in the bucket.
Not to mention the countries in the Western Regions, the snowflake salt is sold overseas.
But the profit from pouring tea horses is enough to be a hundred times the profit of the tea house.
It's just that Zhu Ying never allowed the many forces under his command to intersect.
Zhang Bo's department is mainly responsible for the business on the grassland.
Even for Xue Hua Yan, they only serve as escorts and don't know much about the benefits.
Most of the business on the grassland is based on bartering, and there is too little knowledge about silver.
"How is the Internet network here in the capital?" Zhu Ying seemed to ask casually.
Uncle Zhang felt a little embarrassed when he heard this. In the short time, he and the guards who came with him were all intoxicated with the joy of money.
Regarding what Zhu Ying explained earlier, it was obvious that she was not working that hard.
"My boss, it's really difficult to get through the relationship with the capital. Our people can't penetrate at all and are running into obstacles everywhere." Uncle Zhang said helplessly.
This is also the biggest factor.
Zhu Ying nodded, this situation was basically what he expected.
The current Ming Dynasty, especially the Ming Dynasty in the 25th year of Hongwu, is really too stable.
Outside Nanzhili, he could still make some waves, but when he got to the capital, it was too difficult.
The officials here are really very clear-minded.
On the streets of the capital, it is impossible to see anything like robbing women of the people, or officials bullying the people.
Even if someone loses chickens and ducks, the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division will work hard to help find them.
As for thieves and thieves, I have really never heard of them during the time Zhu Ying has been here.
Since the Ming Dynasty policy was implemented, those who were able to settle in Nanjing basically had good family conditions.
Not to mention that everyone is knowledgeable, but there are quite a few people who are literate.
Moreover, the understanding of the Ming Dynasty Law is very thorough in the entire capital.
Living in today's Nanjing city gave Zhu Ying an illusion of a sense of security that would come later in life.
Of course, he knew that such a situation occurred under Zhu Yuanzhang's strong pressure.
"It's a pity that we can't stay in this capital for too long." Zhu Ying said with some sigh.
"Master, why is this? I feel that Nanjing is a very nice city. We are doing a serious business and it is so popular. Why do we leave?"
Uncle Zhang asked with some confusion. In his opinion, life here is many times better than on the grassland.
Zhu Ying frowned slightly, glanced at Uncle Zhang and said, "If you like your place, you can stay in the capital in the future."
When Uncle Zhang heard this, he looked horrified and knelt down on one knee and said: "I will defend my employer to the death."
Or maybe you feel it's not formal enough.
Uncle Zhang knelt on his knees, placed his palms on the ground and pointed upwards, his forehead touching the ground and said: "I once swore an oath in front of my ancestors, witnessed by the shaman, to follow my master forever."
"Get up, I don't doubt your loyalty. Also, this is the Ming Dynasty, don't do anything like your Jurchen tribe."
Seeing this, Zhu Ying said calmly.
An aura of superiority arose spontaneously. At this moment, Zhu Ying was the overlord of the grasslands and the ruler of the Western Regions.
Rather than a low-status merchant in the Ming Dynasty.
"Thank you, Master." Uncle Zhang slowly stood up after his forehead touched the ground again.
"Let's check how long it will take for our caravan to reach the capital."
"Yes, boss."
Uncle Zhang had no more nonsense at this moment and took the order to leave.
After Uncle Zhang left, Zhu Ying was alone on the second floor, meditating.
Although half of the second floor is designed as private rooms, it is not actually open to the public.
This is what Zhu Ying will prepare for some private arrangements or individual receptions in the future.
Even if you enter the lobby on the first floor, you won't be able to see where the stairs are without looking carefully.
"What exactly does Zhu Di want to do?"
At this moment, Zhu Ying, thinking of her last meeting with Zhu Di two days ago, always felt like there was a conspiracy.
Not to mention the current Ming Dynasty, even in later generations, there has always been only hatred without reason, and there is no love without reason.
Zhu Ying had made too many assumptions about Zhu Di's behavior, but could not detect its true purpose.
Especially in the past two days, Zhu Ying has discovered that the people who were watching him near the teahouse have completely evacuated.
From the day the teahouse opened, Zhu Ying noticed that someone was watching her.
After working hard for many years and starting from scratch, Zhu Ying is still wary of this.
It is not difficult to guess that he is Zhu Di's subordinate.
But after meeting two days ago, those people all disappeared.
It was like Zhu Di suddenly let go.
Zhu Ying had no intention of intervening in the subsequent battle between Zhu Di and Zhu Yunwen.
Zhu Ying had never considered helping Zhu Yunwen.
Mainly because he didn't like Zhu Yunwen's character very much.
Secondly, Zhu Yunwen's identity would not allow him to truly trust a businessman.
If there is a rebellion, there is currently no ground for rebellion in the Ming Dynasty.
Founding a country overseas was the best choice for Zhu Ying.
At present, Zhu Ying's power is mainly in the deserts, grasslands, and in the gaps between the countries in the Western Regions.
But in fact, Zhu Ying's main target was Annan.
Whether considering the location or all aspects, Annan is an excellent choice.
Annam is located at the junction of the Indochina Peninsula and its geographical location is extremely important.
It can control Champa, Siam, and Chenla countries in the near area, and it can control Mansika and Sumatra, Old Port, Guawa, Ningni and other countries near the peninsula in the distance.
It is of great significance to Zhu Ying's great navigation plan.
But in this way, after Zhu Di was in trouble, Zheng He would inevitably have to confront him when he went to the West.
Is it just Zhuying who is afraid?
First of all, leaving aside Zhu Di, the focus is on the Oara tribe on the grassland.
Now in the 25th year of Hongwu's reign, after Zhu Di's success in defeating the enemy, it was in the fourth year of Yongle that Zhang Fu was arranged to lead his army deep into Annan for a great victory.
There are still fourteen years left.
If Zhu Ying still cannot develop in fourteen years, then he will be killed by a piece of tofu to avoid losing face to future generations.
However, due to the influence of many factors, Annan has not intervened at present, but only arranged to collect intelligence secretly.
Although in the Annan-Chen Dynasty, it was in the first year of Jianwen that Hu Jiya deposed the young emperor and established himself as king, establishing the Hu Dynasty.
But the current Annan regime is already in chaos.
Zhu Ying's original plan was to leave Peiping and head to Annan.
I just didn't expect that Zhu Di would take him to the capital.
Of course, the key to impressing Zhu Ying was Zhu Gaochi's matter about firearms.
Just when Zhu Ying was thinking about how to stimulate Zhu Gaochi to get the warrant as soon as possible and go to the War Bureau or even the Gunpowder Department.
The housekeeper downstairs came up and reported: "My boss, the old man from a few days ago is here again today."
Zhu Ying was speechless.
When he left last time, Zhu Ying told the old man that he could come and sit here often.
only,
I was just saying polite words, why did he take it seriously?
