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

Chapter 34: A heartbroken song, where can I find a bosom friend!

Obtained business status, and won Fangshan, Huang Xiongying is ready to show his ambitions.

But if you want to develop Fangshan, you need a lot of money.

Therefore, Huang Xiongying's top priority is to start the business of wine and salt, so that he can have enough money to be a coal boss.

In fact, it is much more profitable to be a salt merchant than to mine coal.

But Huang Xiongying does not want to use salt to make money for a long time.

Because salt, for this era, is not only related to people's livelihood, but also related to the foundation of the country.

The imperial court needs to control the whole society by controlling salt, and the salt tax revenue is huge, which is an extremely important part of a country's fiscal revenue!

If private people are allowed to control the sale of salt, it will easily cause adverse effects and is not conducive to social stability. Official control will make it easier to stabilize salt prices, stabilize the market, and stabilize society!
Therefore, Huang Xiongying sold salt through the relationship of Cao Guogong and Li Jinglong, and got on the line of the government to sell salt through the government.

In other words, Huang Xiongying is in charge of salt production, and the terminal sales are still government-owned.

And Li Jinglong's role is actually like a middleman, and in the name of Cao Guogong, the government dare not suppress Huang Xiongying's price.

Huang Xiongying's plan was to hand over the method of making salt to the imperial court after making some money from the salt.

After all, things like salt are too involved, and handing them over to the court can be regarded as doing something for the Ming Dynasty that benefits the country and the people.

As for wine, it doesn't matter so much.

Alcohol is not a necessity like salt, and the court's control will not be so strict.

The wine brewed by Huang Xiongying is made according to the Moutai wine making method given by the system, which can be called the best.

This thing is a luxury in later generations, and only the rich and powerful can afford it.

It is even rarer in this day and age.

If you want to earn money, then earn the money of the rich and powerful, because the rich and powerful have a lot of money, and it is easy to earn.

Taking the Guo brothers with him, Huang Xiongying left the courtyard.

With alcohol, you still need to find a shop in a better location, sell it or rent it, so that you can sell alcohol.

Yingtianfu, Datong Street.

As the capital of Ming Dynasty, Yingtian is the most prosperous place in the world.

Datong Street is close to the Forbidden City. The street is wide and straight, and the ground is paved with bluestone slabs. It is one of the busiest streets in Yingtianfu.

On both sides of the street, there are probably three-storey shops with various signboards.

Food sellers, cloth sellers, sugar sellers, wine sellers, and all kinds of rouge and gouache...

The cries of small stalls and hawkers and the endless stream of pedestrians make everything here look so lively and full of life.

After walking half a street, I saw a shop with a transfer sign.

Huang Xiongying walked in with the Guo brothers. In the shop, a rather pretty girl who looked about fourteen or fifteen years old was sitting in front of the counter bored.

"My lord, what do you need?"

The shop originally sold rouge and powder, and the little girl saw Huang Xiongying dressed as the young master come in. Although she felt a little strange, she hurriedly greeted her.

Huang Xiongying didn't rush to answer, but looked around the whole shop.

The whole shop is quite elegantly furnished, with antique decoration and calligraphy and painting decorations hanging around.

It doesn't look like someone who buys rouge and gouache at all, but looks like someone who sells calligraphy and painting.

It seems that the owner of this shop should be a lover of literature and art.

Huang Xiongying is quite satisfied with the clean, elegant and artistic decoration.

Looking away, Huang Xiongying looked at the little girl: "I want to buy your shop."

"Oh, it looks like this, but..."

The little girl showed a look of embarrassment: "But my young lady is still playing the piano in the private room, it's inconvenient to disturb, and I can't make a decision, why don't you wait here for a while, my lord?"

Huang Xiongying listened carefully and could indeed hear the sound of the piano coming from the private room on the second floor.

"can."

Huang Xiongying nodded, he feels good about this shop, it doesn't hurt to wait a while.

The little girl hurriedly invited Huang Xiongying and the Guo brothers to sit down, and then brought some snacks up. The courtesy was quite thoughtful, it seemed that they were servants of a rich family.

Huang Xiongying had nothing to do, so he listened carefully to the sound of the piano coming from the private room.

The sound of the piano is melodious and melodious, sometimes like a clear spring dripping, sometimes like a spring rain, showing the superb skills of the piano player.

Now that his temperament is at the full level, he can naturally hear the mystery.

Seeing that Huang Xiongying was listening seriously, the little girl said proudly: "You are so lucky to be able to hear my young lady playing the piano. You know, no matter how many young masters try their best, they can't hear it!"

Huang Xiongying smiled when he heard this, and said: "It's a good piano, it's a pity..."

"What a pity?"

The little girl frowned slightly.

"Unfortunately, this song is not suitable for your young lady." Huang Xiongying laughed.

After hearing Huang Xiongying's words, the little girl became unhappy, and pouted, "Then tell me, what's wrong?"

Huang Xiongying said: "Your lady has a superb piano skill, but she pays too much attention to technique, and she can't pour her own feelings into it. She has skills, but she can't penetrate people's hearts. There is a feeling of worrying about writing new words."

"I think it's understandable that your young lady is young and hasn't experienced love affairs, so she can't control this kind of resentful ditty."

Huang Xiongying said it politely, but unexpectedly the little girl glared at each other:

"Pretend to understand if you don't understand, our lady's piano skills are the best in the capital, how can mediocre people like you appreciate it? Hmph!!"

Huang Xiongying smiled and said nothing.

He knew that the little girl didn't know the way of rhythm at all, and it would be useless to talk about it.

Seeing Huang Xiongying acting like you don't understand and doesn't bother to tell you, the little girl gritted her teeth angrily, and said angrily: "Go away, our shop won't sell you such ignorant and self-righteous people! "

Guo Zhen, who was at the side, heard the words and said angrily: "Our son is both talented and beautiful, you really have no eyes!"

The little girl raised her head slightly, curled up her mouth, and said sarcastically, "You look like a good-looking talent, but it's a pity that it's an embroidered pillow!"

When Guo Zhen heard this, she became furious immediately, pointing at the little girl and arguing:

"you……"

Before the words were spoken, Huang Xiongying pressed Guo Zhen's hand: "Forget it, I don't know as much as a little girl, let's go."

After finishing speaking, Huang Xiongying turned around and led the Guo brothers out of the shop.

The little girl looked disdainful and waved her little fist behind her...

Not long after Huang Xiongying left, a woman with bright eyes, smooth cheeks, and beautiful eyes came out from the private room.

"Chan'er, what's the matter? Why was there so much noise outside just now!"

It was Xu Miaojin, the daughter of Wei Guogong Xu Da who spoke.

Xu Miaojin is the third daughter of Xu Da and the sister-in-law of Yan Wang Zhu Di.

Xu Miaojin is not only born with a fairy-like appearance, but also talented and intelligent. He is proficient in poetry and songs, especially his good piano playing is commendable.

Zhu Di is like Zhu Yuanzhang in this way, but he likes his sister-in-law.

Later, after the death of Empress Xu, Zhu Di immediately ordered Xu Miaojin to enter the palace, intending to make Xu Miaojin his queen, but Xu Miaojin wrote a "Letter to Reject Yongle Emperor" and ruthlessly rejected it.

But that's all for later...

"Humph--"

At this moment, Chan'er snorted softly: "Miss, don't talk about it. Someone just came and said he wanted to buy our shop, but he insisted that the music played by the miss is not good. I couldn't get angry, so I quarreled with him." Woke up."

Xu Miaojin smiled when she heard the words, and asked curiously, "What did he say?"

She is very confident in her piano skills, but the playing just now did not meet her expectations, but she couldn't tell what was wrong for a while.

"The young master said that the song is not suitable for the young lady. Although the young lady has a superb piano skill, she has no feelings. He also said that the young lady is too young to understand love, and that she is worried about writing new words. You say you are not angry. If you don’t understand, pretend to understand!”

Chan'er is still angry when she thinks about it now.

Unexpectedly, Xu Miaojin was slightly stunned.

No emotion, worrying about writing new words?

Yes, that's how it feels!
A word to wake up the dreamer!

I thought about it for a long time but couldn't figure it out, but that person could hear the mystery, it seems that he is also a person who is proficient in rhythm!
In ancient times, high mountains and flowing water met a bosom friend, and colorful clouds chased the moon to know oneself!
Now that someone can understand her piano sound, it really makes her feel like meeting a confidant.

As the saying goes, a heartbroken song, where can I find a bosom friend in the world!

Every time she played the piano in the capital, all she got was praise and flattery, which made her tired of hearing it. It was really rare for someone to point out her shortcomings!

Only by knowing your own shortcomings can you make further progress!
Seeing Xu Miaojin stunned, Chan'er couldn't help saying:

"Miss, you don't need to be so angry, we ignore this kind of person..."

Before Chan'er finished speaking, Xu Miaojin grabbed her arm, "Where is that person? Where did he go?!"

Chan'er was startled, and said blankly: "I was driven away by..."

"Run away?"

Xu Miaojin was a little anxious: "When did he leave?!"

Chan'er scratched her head in confusion: "Just when you came out..."

Before Chan'er could finish speaking, Xu Miaojin picked up Luo Qun and ran out the door.

pity.

The figure of that person has long since disappeared into the vast crowd...

Chan'er chased after her, breathed a sigh of relief, and asked, "Miss, what's the matter?"

Xu Miaojin shook her head and sighed: "Chan'er, you may have driven my bosom friend away this time."

"Bosom friend?"

Chan'er was stunned, when did Miss find a bosom friend, why didn't she know?
Xu Miaojin glanced at Chan'er and said: "It's really rare for that person to be able to hear the shortcomings in my piano sound. It's a pity that I don't have the opportunity to have a good communication with him!"

"what?"

Chan'er opened her mouth slightly.

Not only did she drive him away just now, but she also called him an embroidered pillow. She didn't expect that person to be regarded as a bosom friend by the young lady?

It seems that I am indeed blind!
Thinking of this, Chan'er felt aggrieved, she comforted Xu Miaojin and comforted herself by the way: "Miss, don't worry, that person wants to buy our shop, and he will definitely come back again."

Xu Miaojin nodded regretfully.

And Chan'er made up her mind to find that person back.

You must know that there are not many people who can make the young lady fall in love with, and he is also a handsome son. I heard that not long ago, King Yan expressed his intention to marry the young lady, but the young lady was very worried.

If there is such a person that the young lady can fall in love with, if nothing else, at least King Yan will be able to explain.

No, no matter what, I have to find that young master...

……

Huang Xiongying took the Guo brothers around again, and finally fell in love with a shop, but the shop was not for sale, only for rent.

After finishing their work, the three of them went straight home.

When Huang Xiongying returned to the courtyard.

Then I saw two more people in the small courtyard, one was his grandfather, and the other was an old man who looked older than his grandfather...
