"No need to trouble the old man, I shouldn't stay in the capital for too long."
Zhu Yingwan declined.
He could imagine that with his status as an old man, he would definitely help find a good family in the capital.
But he is just a businessman, an ordinary wealthy family. No matter how much money you have, how can you possibly look after him?
Even if you really agree, you probably won't look good at it when the time comes.
The class system was very obvious in Ming Dynasty, and he was not willing to accept this nonsense.
Furthermore, the process of starting a family in the Ming Dynasty cannot be accomplished by just setting a date.
"Da Ming Lu Hu Lv" stipulates that if you want to get married, you must "write a marriage contract and betrothal in accordance with the ceremony."
From engagement to marriage, it takes at least a few months.
How could he take so long?
Originally, this visit to the capital was an accident and was not part of his plan.
Leaving earlier is the right thing to do.
Zhu Yuanzhang was stunned when he heard this.
Dasun wants to leave the capital? How can this be done?
"Where are you going? Isn't this capital enough for you? I think the profit from this teahouse is enough for what you need." Zhu Yuanzhang asked in a deep voice.
"Old man, I still have a lot of business outside. I am a businessman, not a businessman. If nothing else, just the business of snowflake salt, I have to do it everywhere."
Zhu Ying made an excuse and explained that of course he would not talk about Annan.
Zhu Yuanzhang was anxious. If his eldest grandson ran away, who would inherit the throne of Ming Dynasty?
It would be embarrassing if we wait until the truth comes out and no one from Da Sun can be found.
Of course, with Jin Yiwei's ability, it is not difficult to find traces of the great grandson.
It's just that these days, Zhu Yuanzhang can't see his eldest grandson, how can he let go of the worries in his heart.
Mother hands line, wandering clothing.
Zhu Yuanzhang doted on his eldest grandson and wished he could watch him together every day.
How can we allow our grandson to stay away?
Thinking of this, Zhu Yuanzhang said: "We still have some connections in the palace. I will help you with the sale of snowflake salt and save you from traveling around. It is only right to settle down in the capital as soon as possible."
"Old man, please don't do this. This is the business of official salt. Even if you are a bachelor of the royal palace, it may not work well if His Majesty knows about this kind of thing."
Zhu Ying quickly persuaded.
The tax revenue of the Yantie government is extremely important to the Ming Dynasty's treasury. Is this something that any minister can change?
If the old man were to get involved with the Yantie government camp, it would be very dangerous given His Majesty's temperament, and something might happen.
Moreover, even if it can be done, Zhu Ying doesn't care too much about it.
Because of the issue of confidential transportation, Zhu Ying strictly controlled the output. The amount of snowflake salt dumped every year was far from reaching the level of market saturation.
Not to mention overseas countries, even here in the Ming Dynasty, only the top nobles can enjoy it.
In the Ming Dynasty, there is a saying that one tael of snowflakes and one tael of gold.
Although it is not actually such an exaggeration, it is enough to show that in today's snowflake salt market, supply and demand are less than supply.
However, how much is the sale of official salt worth?
The biggest profit of snowflake salt is smuggling.
The connection with official salt is just to better cover the smuggling relationship. The smuggling of large amounts of snowflake salt is the fundamental interest of the Zhuying Chamber of Commerce.
"You don't need to worry about this. We have our own rules in mind. In short, you can't leave, Grandson." Zhu Yuanzhang said stubbornly.
"Old man, my departure is only temporary. I will come back after a while. I am here and still have a teahouse business." Zhu Ying explained again.
"Do we still know how to deal with your business? It will take at least a few years for you to leave. Especially those small countries on the border are in chaos. If something goes wrong, how do you expect us to survive?"
"You are at your age, there is no need to travel around, and you have enough money. Just listen to my advice and just stay in the capital and settle down." Zhu Yuanzhang said sincerely.
How could he let his grandson, whom he thought about day and night, leave? This was absolutely impossible.
Hearing this, Zhu Ying almost understood what the old man was thinking.
However, he didn't want to deceive the old man, so he patiently explained: "Old man, this tea house's property is only part of the business. There are hundreds of people under my command who are looking forward to eating and drinking. We can't ignore them."
Although the teahouse's business is good, in Zhu Ying's opinion, it's just a few dollars and it's just a casual settlement.
What Zhu Ying cared more about than business was Annan's plan to found the country.
When Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, he sneered in his heart.
In our Ming Dynasty, tens of millions of people are looking forward to eating and drinking from you. Just a few hundred people are nothing.
After thinking about it slightly, Zhu Yuanzhang didn't want to go against Da Sun.
In fact, with his temper, even his son Zhu Biao would chase him with a stick if he disobeyed his wishes.
But for his eldest son, even if there were some disputes, Zhu Yuanzhang could not get angry at all.
"Then tell us where you are going and when you will be back." Zhu Yuanzhang asked.
Zhu Ying hesitated for a moment, and finally said: "After leaving the capital, I should go to Annan first, and then the snowflake and salt business will begin."
After finishing speaking, he thought for a moment and then added: "It will probably take a few months. Before the first day of the new year, I can rush back to the capital to spend the spring with the old man."
Zhu Ying's words can be regarded as a thought and explanation for the old man.
Although he is not the grandson of the old man, he is not a tree, so how can he be ruthless?
The old man's feelings for him can naturally be felt.
He had no relatives to speak of in the Ming Dynasty, and now the old man is more or less half a relative.
It's not a big deal to come to the capital occasionally and keep the old man company.
The old man is not young anymore. If he can accompany me once, it counts as one time.
When Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, how could he be willing?
A few months later, are we going to live with our hearts in our throats every day?
Thinking in mind.
Humph, it’s a good thing that Da Sun didn’t change his household registration. As Da Sun is now a businessman, if he wants to leave the capital, he must first find a way out.
If this road can't be solved by then, we can't be blamed.
No, we have to let Jin Yiwei keep an eye on the eldest grandson.
To avoid running away suddenly one day.
Thinking of this, Zhu Yuanzhang smiled and said: "Okay, if you have this intention, we will be satisfied. When you leave, remember to tell us."
When Zhu Ying heard what the old man said, he breathed a sigh of relief and said:
"Don't worry, old man, it's only for these ten days."
Zhu Yuanzhang said with a smile: "Okay, okay."
What a hammer. Now that I know the approximate time, I will definitely have Jin Yiwei keep a close eye on you by then.
Want to run away? There is no way. We are still hoping to get our eldest grandson married on New Year's Day.
Next year we will have a great-grandchild.
Thinking of this, Zhu Yuanzhang smiled even more happily.
While talking about this, Zhu Ying suddenly remembered something. He had arranged for his subordinates to bring sweet potatoes and the torn cloth related to his identity earlier.
So he turned to say: "Old man, although I am not your grandson, I feel that since I look similar to your grandson, maybe we are really a family."
"When I woke up that year, there was nothing around me except a small scrap with an English word vaguely embroidered on it."
"I have already sent someone to deliver the strip of cloth. Then I will ask the old man to help me palm the eyes."
