I want to be a grandson

Chapter 327
After receiving the letter from his brother, Wang Yi returned home immediately.

In his mind, Wang Zhong didn't say anything, he just urged him to put down the things in his hands and rush back to the capital without any delay.

Wang Yi thought that something serious happened at home, so he hurried back without stopping. Who knew that everything was safe at home, which made him confused.

Because the palace is relatively busy during the Chinese New Year, and His Highness has to reward the officials, all of which have to be busy, so there is no time to go home.

I just wrote him a letter, telling him to stay at home and not run around, and also told him to take a bath every day, because His Royal Highness, the grandson of the emperor, might summon him anytime!
As ordinary people, it is quite normal not to take a bath once a month or two. There are many people who do not take a bath throughout the autumn and winter.

Besides, Wang Yi often runs by the seaside, so he will inevitably smell of seafood on his body. If this offends His Royal Highness, what will happen!

Wang Yi listened to his elder brother very much and took a bath honestly for more than ten days. Although he was not used to it, he dared not refuse to listen.

After Wang Zhong received this, he immediately pulled him into the carriage and rushed towards the palace without stopping.

Sitting in the carriage, Wang Yi asked him not to ask, "Brother, where are you taking me?"

Wang Zhong didn't answer, he leaned close to smell him, and then showed a reassuring expression.

Wang Yi said with a smile: "Brother, don't worry, I listen to your words and take a bath every day, and my body is almost peeling off a layer of skin!"

Wang Zhong instructed: "That's good. I'm afraid you don't know the importance. When you see His Highness later, remember to salute and keep your eyes on the ground. You can't raise your head, don't try to watch, let alone look at His Highness." ,do you understand?"

Wang Yi suddenly said with a troubled face: "Brother, can you just stare at the ground? I also want to see what His Highness looks like, can I take a sneak peek?"

"no!"

Wang Zhong glared at him and said: "Looking up at the king, intending to assassinate the king! How many heads do you have enough to chop off?"

Wang Yi suddenly became short of breath, "Then you are beside His Highness, and you don't know what His Highness looks like?"

Wang Zhong was afraid that he would not understand the rules, so he explained: "I am a servant next to His Highness, and sometimes I look at His Highness to observe his words and to serve His Highness better, but you are different. It is the first time you meet His Highness, why? You can be so rude!"

"Remember, even if His Royal Highness asks you to stand up, you have to bow your body all the time, you can't look around, you can answer whatever His Highness asks, you can't talk nonsense, and you just do what you tell..."

"Also, don't call me elder brother anymore in front of His Highness, call me elder brother, so that it looks dignified!"

"Yes, yes, thank you brother for reminding me, I understand!"

The reason why Wang Zhong asked this is because since the Tang Dynasty, the word "brother" has appeared more and more in document records.

But at that time, "elder brother" was often used as a self-proclaimed father to son. For example, in "Chunhua Ge Tie", there is a handwriting written by Tang Taizong to Tang Gaozong, so he called himself "elder brother Chi".

In "On the Wall" by Bai Pu, a native of the Yuan Dynasty, he still refers to his father as "brother".

After the Yuan and Ming Dynasties, elder brother gradually refers to the elder brother of the same parents, or the older male peers among relatives.

Such as "Brother Bao" in "A Dream of Red Mansions".

Of course, "brother" is also a commonly used title for girls to address their lovers, and it is not uncommon in folk songs. In some places, "brother" is still regarded as a nickname for her husband.

But in the final analysis, the title of elder brother is still more solemn than that of elder brother.

"Slaves pay homage to Your Highness!"

"The villain pays homage to Your Highness!"

In the West Side Hall of Wenhua Hall, also known as the Jiyi Hall, the two brothers Wang Zhong and Wang Yi saluted together.

"Get up, don't be polite."

"Thank you, Your Highness!"

Hearing the soft voice, the tense nerves in Wang Yi's heart were like a spring breeze, which made people feel comfortable.

Zhu Yunxi sat on the chair, looked at Wang Yi who was bowing deeply in front of him, and asked, "Are you Wang Yi?"

He did not bestow a seat, one reason is that those who can be given a seat are all important officials in the court, or absolute confidants, otherwise they are not qualified to sit and answer.

In addition, Wang Zhong is a servant by his side, and he is Wang Yi's elder brother. How can there be a reason why the elder brother is standing while the younger brother is sitting?
No matter how high Wang Yi's official position is, as long as Wang Zhong is standing beside him, he cannot sit down.

This is the ceremony!

"Villain Wang Yi, pay homage to Your Highness!" He said and bowed.

Zhu Yunxi asked: "Before Wang Zhong asked you to go to the seaside to do business with Standard Bank. How is the business doing?"

When he was powerless and his future was bleak, he asked Wang Yi to prepare a boat by the sea, so that he would run away immediately if something happened.

Now that he has been established as a great grandson, there is no need to escape, but he should also support Wang Yi, after all, he used to do things for himself.

"Returning to Your Highness, now Biaohang has purchased another two-masted boat, and the business is quite good. There are currently 18 boatmen and fellows. The villain thinks that we can buy two more boats within this year..."

In fact, many people have misunderstood Zhu Yuanzhang's sea ban.

Zhu Yuanzhang did not prohibit all people from going to sea, nor did he prohibit businessmen from doing business at sea.

What he prohibits refers to large ships with more than three masts, and merchants are not allowed to trade with foreign countries.

In addition, coastal residents can also fish in the sea, and merchants can also transport goods by sea, but there are many restrictions.

"I heard that the sea is very stormy, and it is very inconvenient to sail, and you will encounter Japanese pirates and bandits from time to time. I don't know if this is the case? Have you ever encountered it? Tell me about it..."

Wang Yi thought for a while and said: "Reporting to Your Highness, the villain once... also met thieves, um, they were thieves, but there were only about ten or eight of them..."

Wang Yi was a little nervous at first, and at the beginning of his speech, there were some inconsistencies in his words. Wang Zhong, who was standing by the side, had muscles twitching uncontrollably on his face...

My younger brother is usually so eloquent, but now he is talking in a mess!
What kind of impression will this leave in His Highness' mind!
But Zhu Yunxi didn't show any impatience. Instead, he looked at him and listened very patiently...

Perhaps it was this kind of listening that gave him encouragement, and Wang Yi's nervousness was relieved. The more he spoke, the smoother he spoke, the more fluent he spoke,
When he met the thieves, how the thieves stole the goods, how they guarded against them, and how they drove them away, I told them in detail.

Finally, he said: "Since then, Standard Bank has set a rule that all goods must be strictly inspected. If the person in charge of the guard makes a mistake and causes the goods to be damaged or lost, he will be held responsible. If there are no mistakes, you will be rewarded..."

"Since then, no cargo has been lost or damaged."

Zhu Yunxi nodded and said, "That's right, without rules, there is no such thing as a square. Only when rules are established, can there be rules to follow and clear rewards and punishments."

Wang Yi went on to say: "Your Highness, there are also some things that the villain did not do well. When the standard line was first established, the villain felt that there was a shortage of manpower."

"Usually there are a few friends who are good friends, so let them work in the company. Who knows that there are two people who are usually lazy and can't bear the hardship of walking in the company. They become lazy and lazy. Not only often ask villains for money, but even They also secretly sold the goods of the owner..."

Wang Zhong suddenly became a little nervous, how could his brother bring his friends to Biaohang!
Simply bullshit!
Doing things so unreliably will definitely disappoint His Highness!
Zhu Yunxi smiled and asked, "Then how did you deal with it?"

Wang Yi lowered his head, and replied: "The villain tried to persuade them several times, but they just didn't listen, and said that the villain was not enough to be a brother, and could share troubles with them. Now that he is rich, he despises them..."

"The villain had no choice but to send them away... We can't let them continue to harm Biaoxing..."

Zhu Yunxi nodded and said: "You are right. Since you are a brother, you will not harm others to benefit yourself, and you will not be ignorant of the importance."

"The villain is stupid, thank you Your Highness!"

At this time, in Wang Yi's heart, he was very grateful to Zhu Yunxi, and felt very kind, and immediately felt a heart of loyalty.

Your Highness is the grandson of the emperor and the heir apparent of Ming Dynasty, but he listens patiently to me about these little things, so that I can comfort and take care of my feelings.

What a great grace this is!
If you want to get closer to a stranger quickly, you need to find ways to let the other person talk, and you just need to be a listener.

When he finishes speaking, he will regard the listener as a bosom friend!
You will feel that a thousand glasses of wine are too few to meet a bosom friend!

And Zhu Yunxi has a noble status as a blessing, it's hard not to get the other party's loyalty!
Wang Yi knelt and kowtowed and said, "If Your Highness does not give up, the villain is willing to swear allegiance to His Highness to the death!"

"Wang Zhong, quickly help your brother up."

Hearing this, Wang Zhongxin finally let go of a stone hanging in his heart!

He hurried to help his younger brother and helped him up.

Only then did Zhu Yunxi return to the subject, "Wang Yi, this king wants to form a caravan to sell goods to the Japanese slave country. There is no official position or support from the government for this matter."

"If you encounter Japanese pirates at sea, you have to deal with it yourself. This matter is very dangerous. You should go back and think about it before making an answer."

Wang Yi immediately knelt down on the ground, "The villain is willing! It is a villain's honor to be able to serve His Highness. Even if there is no body left, I will be willing to do so, and please Your Highness!"

Zhu Yunxi nodded in satisfaction, and said with a sigh: "Wang Zhong Wang Yi, a man of loyalty! It's very lonely!"

"The villain (servant) is terrified..."

Wang Zhong also kowtowed to thank him, his heart was full of excitement, and even the tears could not be stopped to stay!

He also ordered: "Get up, don't be too polite!"

Now that Wang Yi has shown his determination, it means that he has passed the test. As the master, Zhu Yunxi will naturally not watch him take risks, but remain indifferent.

So he said: "I will mark out one or two small islands among those islands in Zhoushan, and give you a place to stock up and station. You don't have to worry about all the goods you need, someone will send them there.

In addition, the Great Ming Navy will try its best to clear the way for you. If necessary, you can also send someone to ask the Navy for assistance. Do you understand? "

"The villain understands! Thank you, Your Highness!"

Wang Yi understood what His Highness meant, that is, he was just a caravan on the surface and had nothing to do with Daming.

But in private, there are many "care" from His Highness!
With His Highness's support, if it still can't be done, it might as well be smashed to death!
