Daming: You are really my eldest son

Chapter 33 Confrontation
"How about I find some people to do business?"

In Zhu Ji's vague memory, the restrictions on merchants in this era have been greatly improved compared to the previous dynasties.

Although the status of businessmen is still low, but the business tax is low, as long as they manage well and rely on some ideas in their minds, even if they can't become rich and wealthy, it is still possible to make ends meet.

However, I have always been a citizen, and the law stipulates that I cannot transform into a lower social class like a merchant, so I can only find a special merchant to stand in front of me to cover up this kind of thing.

What he didn't know was that in the eyes of Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Biao, this kind of thinking was simply resignation.

If you really want Zhu Ji to do this, those Confucian scholars will find out in the future, and they must get together to impeach him, the prince, and fight for the interests of the people.

Don't look at some officials who dare not do business because of the law, but their relatives and friends have already made a lot of money under their shadow.Otherwise, with Master Guorui's salary being so low, he would be punished every now and then, so why would he be able to go to restaurants every now and then for some people?

They can't make money by themselves, so why can your emperor's son?
Zhu Yuanzhang felt a little numb.

Now he scolds but dare not scold, urges but dare not urge.Fearing that one of them would be bad, Zhu Jizhen ran out and fiddled around, but the benefits were not reaped, and his bad reputation was ruined.

"Asshole, do I need some money from you? What the family lacks now is someone who can share the affairs with your brother. If you don't know how to do it, you can learn it. What, Xu Da and Feng Sheng teach you martial arts and you can learn it. We let you Can't you learn to be a housekeeper?"

Zhu Biao's knowledge of this elder brother has been constantly refreshed since the first meeting, until now, he still has not seen clearly what is going on in his elder brother's mind.

He didn't quite understand, in Zhu Ji's eyes, why he would rather be in business than compete with him for the heir.

Doesn't this girl smell good?
Facing Zhu Yuanzhang's scolding, Zhu Ji could only smile awkwardly.

He understood Zhu Yuanzhang's eagerness to include him in the genealogy, but he said it was really dangerous.

These days, he has been replaying the scene of Zhu Yuanzhang's hypothetical day in his mind. He thought too much, and when he went to bed at night, he dreamed that he was arrested for no reason, and then the whole family went down neatly.

This kind of disaster always made him wake up sweating profusely.

If he hadn't been exercising for many days, his small physique would have been unable to stand it long ago.

Seeing that Zhu Ji was reticent, Zhu Yuanzhang could only wink at Zhu Biao, whose sense of presence was covered by Zhu Ji from the beginning to the end.

After all, they are the father and son who have been together for many years. At this time, the tacit understanding between the father and son is reflected.Receiving Zhu Yuanzhang's signal, Zhu Biao squeezed out a slightly stiff smile on his face and called "Brother", drawing Zhu Ji's eyes to him, and then he said in an orderly manner:

"Brother, younger brother has been under the influence of the government a few years ago, and now he is in the court with father, and the family is really incapable of handling a lot of things. Before that, the family was always run by my mother, and I was usually quite tired.

Since you are here, you should help A Niang to solve her problems, this is the right way of human relations.How can one be willing to be contemptuous and humble, disregarding the hard work of parents, this kind of filial piety is not acceptable.If I teach others to know, I am afraid that my eldest brother will be pointed at the spine when he walks backwards. "

Compared with Zhu Yuanzhang's blind threats, Zhu Biao's speech is much more particular.

First, he dispelled Zhu Ji's worries about dividing the family property with him, then he played the emotional card with his mother-in-law, and then raised the banner of human relations and filial piety, and finally made a faint threat.

If it is true, the sweet dates are also given, and the big stick is also swung.

After hearing this, Zhu Yuanzhang said it was good, and felt that Song Lian, an old man, had taught him a good son.

Zhu Biao's combination of punches really put Zhu Ji in a dilemma.

He understood that now he had only two ways to go.Or, follow the arrangement and be beheaded in the future.Or, if you don't listen to the arrangement, you will die now, and your life will be difficult in the future.

If people in this era can be as tolerant and forgetful as later generations, they would rather choose the latter.Anyway, he is already low-key enough now, the big deal is that he will be more low-key in the future, and he will live peacefully in the cemetery for a few months, and his days in the future can still be the same.

However, in this day and age, people's lives are suffering, and leisure is really idle.

If you have nothing to do, squat under the wall to bask in the sun and talk about Zhang's parents and Li's family, and the matter of Chen Zhima and rotten millet can be said for decades.

Zhu Ji didn't think that in such an environment, pretending to be dead would solve the problem.

Maybe those folks in the village will trip him up because of his bad reputation.

After sucking his teeth, Zhu Ji felt that the little brother sitting in front of him was not a fuel-efficient lamp.

"Co-author, do I have to intervene in this business?"

Zhu Ji looked back at Zhu Yuanzhang, and asked tentatively with a skeptical attitude.

At this moment, Zhu Yuanzhang only had a satisfied smile in his heart. Facing Zhu Ji's question, he did not answer, but instead asked in a vicious way:

"What do you think?"

Zhu Ji didn't answer Zhu Yuanzhang's words that he was taking revenge, but turned his head to look at Zhu Biao again:

"Then I'll ask my second brother, you just said that I have a lot of disadvantages of not taking this responsibility. Then I would like to ask, what is the advantage of me sharing the affairs of the family?"

"What people in the world don't want is fame and fortune. Commonly speaking, it's mostly about sex and wealth. You can't give me these things, and what you give me doesn't suit me. Why do you think I should obey your orders?"

Although his attitude towards the matter of recognizing his ancestors and returning to his clan has been shaken in his heart at this time, Zhu Ji feels that facing this little brother, even if he doesn't go back in the future, he can't lose now in terms of momentum.

The coercion and lure just now was very exciting, but if he obediently surrenders and admits defeat in this confrontation, then once he recognizes his ancestors and returns to his clan in the future, I am afraid that he will still be crushed and rounded by this little brother.

Faced with counterattacks that were not at the same level at all, Zhu Biao was at a loss for words for a while.

He has never encountered such a situation. Regardless of coercion or temptation, he will not accept the soft and hard. The way his father usually taught him to deal with such a person is to send him to heaven.However, this person is his own brother, and the right to dispose of it is not in his hands at all.

Seeing that Zhu Biao was speechless, Zhu Ji felt secretly refreshed.

With a complete spiritual victory, he showed a contented smile on the corner of his mouth, took a sip of the tea bowl, and sipped the taste. Although he couldn't taste any mystery, he still happily lifted the tea bowl to Zhu Biao:
"tasty."

Gently placing the tea bowl on the table, Zhu Ji ignored the depressed Zhu Biao, stood up and cupped his hands at Zhu Yuanzhang who was sitting on top of him:

"Old man, don't just give me all these things in the future. This is my attitude. Whether you like it or not is the best. You can find someone to settle the money that the two princes have spent on me these days." Forget it, I will find a way to get some money and send it to you in a few days."

"Don't look for me if you have nothing to do in the future, and it's best not to look for anything. You have both women and girls here, and you don't need us."

"As for the problem that the brother is still young, well, it doesn't matter, it will grow up in a few years."

Seeing the swaying figure walking out of the backyard humming an unknown tune, Zhu Yuanzhang frowned, his eyes full of anger and helplessness.

This time, it messed up again.
