Daming: At the beginning, recognize Zhu Yuanzhang as grandfather!

Chapter 22 Young Zhu Chongba
"Old man, just look at it, trust me."

Huang Xiongying's vigorous face revealed a sense of confidence, which made Zhu Yuanzhang stunned.

He seemed to see the young Zhu Chongba.

Back then, Zhu Chongba, who had lost everything, had to bow his head in the face of difficulties, but his heart never gave in.

After experiencing countless difficulties, he grew from a bewildered teenager to a man who has the confidence to overcome everything.

Just like Huang Xiongying now.

"Ah."

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded slowly...

……

Seeing Huang Xiongying come back, Zhou Ji said with a smile:

"Brother Ying, those who know current affairs are Junjie, you are Junjie, we appreciate you!"

"Since your grandparents have already discussed it, then hurry up and write down the recipes for making wine and salt and give them to us!"

Huang Xiongying smiled and said: "It's not as simple as you think. If you can really see it, you can learn it. Didn't the masters you hired learn it long ago?"

Hearing this, Zhou Ji suffocated slightly, laughed dryly, and said, "Brother Ying really knows how to joke, so tell me what should I do?"

Huang Xiongying thought for a while, and said: "It's getting late today, if you come over tomorrow, I'll find a way to teach you, how about it?"

"hey-hey--"

Zhou Ji smiled, with a sly look in his eyes: "What if you run away tomorrow, or go back on your word?"

Huang Xiongying said: "Since you can't trust me, what do you say?"

Zhou Ji rubbed his chin, thought for a while, and said, "How about this, let's make a document, what do you think?"

Huang Xiongying nodded: "Well, there is no harm in being more rigorous, okay, sure!"

Seeing Huang Xiongying's agreement, Zhou Ji's small eyes narrowed into a line with a smile. As long as the written documents are settled, everything is easy to talk about.

It's written in black and white, and when the time comes, you can't deny it even if you want to!
And he was not afraid that Huang Xiongying would get in the way, not teach him the formula, or do something about it.

If you have the recipes for making wine and salt, that's a big deal.

You must know that these two things are now popular among the elite circles of the capital.

When the time comes to make money, it will be as easy as snorting.

In fact, their Zhou family is not short of money.

What Zhou Ji wanted more was to hand over the formula for making salt to the imperial court. He could guarantee that Mr. Hongwu would give more rewards, and it would be no problem to increase his rank.

Because this is a major event related to people's livelihood!

Thinking of this, although Zhou Ji forcibly suppressed the excitement in his heart, he couldn't hide the ecstasy on his face.

"Young master Zhou, please wait here for a while, I'll go and draw up the paperwork, and I'll show you if it fits later."

"it is good!"

Zhou Ji nodded.

He wasn't afraid of Huang Xiongying's tricks, after all, the documents were written in black and white, and everyone could see them.

Zhu Yuanzhang, who was watching from the side, frowned, but watched quietly.

He really couldn't understand his eldest grandson's operation...

It didn't take long.

Huang Xiongying came out of the room, holding two written documents in his hand, and handed them to Zhou Ji.

Zhou Ji unfolded it and saw that it read:

"Today, Zhou Ji, the son of the Marquis of Jiangxia, purchased one copy of wine-making formula and one salt-making formula from Huang Xiongying. Zhou Ji needs to deliver Fangshan in Zhou's fiefdom to Huang Xiongying, and the transaction can be completed."

"Fang Shan?"

Zhou Ji thought about it, and there was indeed such a barren mountain in his home.

His old man and old man Hongwu were playmates in the same village, and later he went to fight with old man Hongwu. After the founding of the Ming Dynasty, the old emperor did not treat them badly. The manors, fields, and mines he rewarded were eaten and used by generations. not finished.

However, the founding veterans of the same generation were both dukes and kings, and his father was only Jiang Xiahou.

Zhou Ji scolded the old emperor for being unfair in his heart.

"It's not expensive to exchange two recipes for a barren mountain that is useless to your Zhou family?"

Huang Xiongying said lightly.

"Not expensive."

Zhou Ji smiled.

He doesn't lack money or land, the only thing he lacks is the respect from outsiders.

Now those old guys who fight the world, even if he is the worst, the power belongs to the Xu family, the Chang family, the Fu family, and the Feng family are far behind.

It was Lan Yu who was a generation shorter than his father, and now they all climbed to the head of the Zhou family.

No wonder the old man was so angry a few days ago when he saw that Lan Yu was taking the opportunity to lead the troops to the west again.

The old man made a lot of military exploits when he was young. Take the attack on Sichuan as an example. That meeting was obviously more credited than Tang He, but when he awarded the reward, he was overwhelmed by Tang He.

When it comes to my own generation, let alone compare with those few.

So Zhou Ji kept holding his breath.

He wanted to prove that he was no worse than those people, it was the old emperor who looked down on their family.

He wants to hand over the formula for making salt to the imperial court, shocking the court and the public, and letting the old emperor know that he has been wrong all these years!
So don't say it's a barren mountain, it's real money, and Zhou Ji won't even bat an eyelid.

But the premise is that Huang Xiongying gave him these two recipes.

Moreover, Huang Xiongying pointed out that he wanted Fang Shan. If there was something mysterious about Fang Shan, he, Zhou Ji, would have plenty of ways to get it back, just like he did for the formula this time.

Zhou Ji took the written document up and down, left and right, and read it all over again, but he didn't see any problems.

Then handed it to the steward.

The steward also read it no less than ten times to make sure that there is no problem.

"Brother Ying, let's sign and pledge!"

Zhou Ji urged with a smile, for fear that Huang Xiongying would go back on his word.

"Ah."

Huang Xiongying picked up a pen, signed his name without any hesitation, and pressed his fingerprints.

Zhou Ji couldn't wait to sign and draw a pledge...

Signed.

Zhou Ji finally breathed a sigh of relief, with a smile that he felt good about himself.

With this document, he is not afraid of Huang Xiongying cheating.

It's written in black and white, so I can't run away!

"Brother Ying, you can go to trouble Fangshan with peace of mind, if anyone dares to make trouble, tell us, we will stand up for you!"

Zhou Ji was very happy.

If he really made a name for himself, it would be Zhou Ji's again.

"Then see you tomorrow!"

Zhou Ji carefully put away the written documents, then led the others, and left Huang Xiongying's courtyard in satisfaction.

After Zhou Ji left.

Huang Xiongying looked at the old man who had been watching quietly all the time: "Grandpa, can you do me a favor?"

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Huang Xiongying with a half-smile, and said, "I'll help you report to the police tomorrow morning, right?"

Hearing this, Huang Xiongying's eyes widened all of a sudden, and he looked at the old man in disbelief: "You...you can see it?"

Zhu Yuanzhang raised his eyebrows and showed a pretentious smile:
"You can fool that idiot Zhou Ji, but you can't fool us. There is something wrong with the evidence, are we right?"

"Your eyes are like torches, no wonder the old man often said that you are a remarkable person!"

Huang Xiongying gave a thumbs up and flattered him.

Zhu Yuanzhang was quite comfortable, and at the same time, he was also relieved.

His eldest grandson let him see Zhu Chongba who had grown up, no, at that time he was no longer Zhu Chongba, but Zhu Deyu. (Zhu Yuanzhang was originally named Chongba, but later changed to Xingzong. After participating in the peasant uprising at the end of the Yuan Dynasty, he changed his name to Deyu, and finally changed his name to Yuanzhang, with the word Guorui.)
Although he was still at the bottom at that time, he was determined and had endless means and strategies.

Just like Huang Xiongying now.

But there was one thing he couldn't figure out.

"Xiongying, what are you planning to do with that barren hill in Fangshan?"

Huang Xiongying smiled and said: "As long as you help me get a business registration, you will know soon!"

"Stinky boy!"

Zhu Yuanzhang scolded with a smile: "Are you threatening us?"

Speaking of this, Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly thought of something, and glanced at Huang Xiongying: "You brat said you want to join the army, are you also threatening us? Don't lie to us!"

"Cough cough..."

Huang Xiongying cleared his throat: "It's not all right, I also want to use this to intensify the conflict with Zhou Ji."

Zhu Yuanzhang just wanted to teach Huang Xiongying a lesson, even he dared to plot, but before he could say anything, Huang Xiongying continued:

"But to be honest, if grandpa really doesn't help me change my household registration, I will really join the army because..."

"Grandson also wants to see the unparalleled soldiers of the Ming Dynasty, the aura of the golden and iron horses of the Ming Dynasty, the bravest people, and the fearless and fearless generals of the Ming Dynasty!"

Huang Xiongying spoke the truth.

When he came to the early Ming Dynasty, he didn't just think about making money.

Since he was so lucky to come to this unparalleled era from later generations and know all the stories and endings, he certainly wanted to witness and protect this era.

He wanted to see those founding fathers who climbed up from mud legs, wanted to see Lan Yu, who used soldiers like a god but was unrestrained, and was about to be executed by ransacking his home, and also wanted to see the ambitious Zhu Di who guarded Beiping. ...

What he wants to see more is Zhu Yuanzhang, the son of destiny who created this dynasty!

But these people are all above him now, and he needs to climb up step by step until he has the ability to change the entire Ming Dynasty and the entire era...

"Good! Well said!"

Zhu Yuanzhang's loud shout brought Huang Xiongying's drifting thoughts back. He looked at Huang Xiongying with burning eyes, but immediately grinned.

"But we won't let you join the army!"
