Chapter 70
The two green hands nearby didn't know Hu Hanshan, but they greeted him familiarly.

A green hand watched Hu Hanshan leave and asked, "Do you know him?"

Another Qingshou with a Liaodong accent shook his head: "I can't make it."

The two young hands thought that he was a subordinate of other green hands' shopkeepers, so they didn't report to their respective shopkeepers that a green hand had suddenly left.

Hu Hanshan was worried that the Zhedong children of Xungui's children in the nearby teahouse would recognize him, so he went to the tea shed near the cross alley.

There are as many as several hundred craftsmen who built houses here. According to the orders of the eunuchs, in order to build them as soon as possible, they eat and drink nearby.

If you earn money, you will make a living. Many hawkers who set up stalls and sell tea at the gate of Tongji Gate have set up more than a dozen tea sheds here after getting the permission of Hu Hanshan, the inspection flag of Tongji Gate.

Hu Hanshan picked a tea shed at random and sat in it. Unexpectedly, the old layman actually followed him.

The peddler saw the inspector flag coming, put on a cloth towel, and fawned: "Master Hu is here, the villain just bought a few catties of Fuchun tea from your tea house, let me taste it?"

Hu Hanshan pouted to the side: "I'll ask this old man for tea money later."

"Okay." The peddler hurried over to make tea.

Hu Hanshan didn't know the old layman, but Zhu Yuanzhang knew who the man in front of him was from Jiang Yu's mouth: "Are you still in business? Don't you want to be an official?"

In order to reduce collusion between officials and businessmen, Ming Dynasty prohibited businessmen and their descendants from being officials.

Hu Hanshan thought that the old layman didn't know him, and he was saying that he would not be able to take the imperial examination if he was in business, so he sighed: "The layman doesn't know, I have no choice but to be an official."

Zhu Yuanzhang knew about Hu Hanshan's absurdity these days through Jinyiwei, but he just thought that he was trying to resist the control of his father's generation. There are many such powerful children in Jinling.

Even Zhu Yuanzhang's youngest son Tan Wang did a lot of ridiculous things in order to resist his father Zhu Yuanzhang's control.

Zhu Yuanzhang did not expect that Hu Hanshan, the eldest son of Hu Weiyong, the left prime minister, would not want to be an official: "How do you say this, don't you want to honor your ancestors?"

Hu Hanshan slandered, the young master was afraid of losing his head.

Just as he was about to respond, the peddler just happened to bring a teapot from a private kiln and put it on the polished table of the Eight Immortals: "Master Hu, how would you like to try this tea, old layman?"

Zhu Yuanzhang didn't care much, and took a sip casually.

After just one sip, I realized how different this tea was, and drank three or four cups in succession.

Zhu Yuanzhang put down his teacup and said with admiration, "This tea is not bad. It tastes even better than Songjiang Fu's tea."

Hu Hanshan has just opened a tea house these days, but unfortunately only a dozen or so peddlers nearby buy tea cakes.

Thinking that the old layman's family had some money, Hu Hanshan hurriedly introduced: "This is a good tea produced in Yizhen County, Yangzhou Prefecture."

"It's all planted on the Red Mountain. It's a pity that it is not well-known. It can only be reduced to wild tea. In order to make the tea easy to sell, it is named Fuchun."

Zhu Yuanzhang didn't care about Hu Hanshan's rambling introduction of tea, he just wanted to ask about the repair of the official ditch related to the common people in the market, and why Hu Hanshan didn't want to be an official.

Zhu Yuanzhang first asked: "It's easy to talk about tea money, what's the matter with repairing the official ditch."

Hearing this, Hu Hanshan thought that the old layman was an official who had come to pay a private visit in his incognito suit. He looked very approachable and did not look like an official.

No matter, anyway, there is no official university under the father Hu Weiyong.

Hu Hanshan hoped that the old layman would be an official, so that he could speak ill of Chen Yong and use it to damage the relationship between Marquis Linjiang and Prime Minister Zuo.

Hu Hanshan put on a dignified righteousness, acting as if he was in charge of the people: "It's not Chen Yong's trouble. When repairing the official ditch, he said it was to clean up the empty eaves to prevent water from leaking."

"Actually, all the ancestral houses of the people in the market have been invaded, or they have helped the officials who live in Dazhong Bridge to expand their yards."

When Hu Hanshan said this, he really couldn't understand Chen Yong's behavior, and said contemptuously: "The common people's houses are gone, so they won't be in trouble."

"boom!"

Zhu Yuanzhang slammed his right hand on the table of the Eight Immortals. There was no trace of mercy, and his face was full of anger: "Bastard! Isn't Chen Yong afraid of retribution for oppressing the people like this!"

Zhu Yuanzhang has been fulfilling two sentences in his life.

Drive out the Tartars and restore China.

Chen Gang established discipline and rescued the people.

Chen Yong's behavior of oppressing the people is the bottom line that Zhu Yuanzhang cannot trample on.

When Hu Hanshan saw the angry look on the old layman's face, he felt very happy, no matter whether the old layman was an official or a wealthy merchant like the Lianghuai salt merchant.

As long as the fact that he said bad things about Chen Yong can be spread, it will be fine.

Zhu Yuanzhang thought that the person sitting across from him was also repairing the official ditch, so he asked in a bad tone: "I heard that Hu Hanshan also participated in the repair of the official ditch. It is widely rumored in Jinling that his bastard is absurd."

"Baobuqi Hu Hanshan also participated in this matter, who doesn't want to win over a group of officials who will support him in the future."

Hu Hanshan turned pale with shock. What he cares most now is the reputation among the common people: "Don't dare to talk nonsense, the old layman may not know that Chen Yong took all the repairs of the official ditch."

"Hu Hanshan didn't participate at all."

Zhu Yuanzhang looked to the side, and Jiang Yu said a few words in a low voice, telling what Chen Yong had done in the past few days to fight for the repair of the official ditch.

Hu Hanshan vaguely heard a few words, and couldn't help but praise a few words: "Yes, the housekeeper in the old layman's house is not in vain, and the news is really well-informed."

When Jiang Yu heard a word from the housekeeper, he almost couldn't help grinning, and his impression of Hu Hanshan improved a little.

Zhu Yuanzhang learned that Hu Hanshan really did not participate, and his attitude towards him was much better: "It's really good, otherwise I would take him with me every time I go out."

Jiang Yu couldn't help laughing at all, if it wasn't for Hu Hanshan being here, those who were so grateful would kneel down to thank him, and the impression of Hu Hanshan in his heart would be even better.

Zhu Yuanzhang glanced at the busy craftsmen not far away: "Since Hu Hanshan did not occupy the houses of ordinary people, it is difficult to occupy the houses of officials just to build another courtyard for himself."

Hu Hanshan wanted to punch the old layman in the mouth, and he glanced at the fat and burly servant, and could only say helplessly: "The old layman is talking nonsense again."

Jiang Yu's copper bell-like eyes widened, and he stretched out his casserole-sized fist to punch him. Because he had a good impression of Hu Hanshan, he deliberately slowed down his fist.

In the gap of slowing down, Zhu Yuanzhang stopped Jia Ding: "How do you say this sentence?"

Hu Hanshan saw that the fat and burly Ding was very excited, so he didn't answer immediately, so he asked the peddler to call Li Jun over.

When Li Jun, who was equipped with two knives, came to him, Hu Hanshan took a look at the fat and burly servant, and said with confidence: "What kind of person is Hu Hanshan, he is a famous good man."

Zhu Yuanzhang didn't expect this kid to be so shameless, so he couldn't help laughing.

Should be a famous rotten person.
