Daming: Old Zhu, we agreed not to rush!

"Won't you do that?"

Zhu Yuanzhang frowned and said: "We don't think so. She just doesn't know enough about you now, and she doesn't know how powerful you, Uncle Renyuan, are."

Lao Zhu is rational. From Zhiyi's perspective, he analyzes that Zhiyi and Su Jing's marriage is simply a 100% matter.

Su Jing smiled and said: "Your Majesty, no."

"You are really sure, how about you make a bet with us?"

Zhu Yuanzhang became interested and said directly: "If it is the same as what we said, then you have to get married honestly. In the future, you have to make suggestions to pacify the Southwest."

"If it's the same as what you said, then...then I can make a request."

Since he was the emperor anyway, Lao Zhu never thought that Su Jing could make any unfulfilled requests.

However, Su Jing shook her head and said: "Your Majesty, please forgive me for not agreeing."

Don't agree?

Lao Zhu's expression changed and he said: "Su Jing, you and Song Lian can bet, why can't you bet with me?"

Su Jing immediately said: "Your Majesty, I made a bet with Mr. Song. It's because the matter has nothing to do with me, so naturally it doesn't matter."

"But now that the bet involves myself, naturally I can't do it. The so-called authorities are blind to the beholder. I have been in business for many years, so naturally I will not make such a bet."

From a businessman's perspective, betting with Su Jing is just a business.

This explanation fell in Zhu Yuanzhang's ears, and it was considered reasonable.

However, Su Jing's real thoughts are naturally not like this.

It was really too offensive for a woman like Zhiyi to be used as a bet between herself and Lao Zhu.

"You have your own explanation, that's all. We are also emperors after all, and it is indeed inappropriate to make a bet with you. The matter ends here."

Zhu Yuanzhang said calmly.

As the emperor, it is indeed too hasty to make casual bets with others.

Su Jing breathed a sigh of relief. At least Lao Zhu didn't persist.

"Your Majesty, sir, it's time for dinner."

At this time, Butler Li walked in and it was dinner time.

"Your Majesty, let's go."

Su Jing stood up. He really didn't want to continue talking to Lao Zhu. This guy was really good at talking.

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded and said: "We happen to be hungry too, let's eat."

The two of them immediately arrived at the restaurant, and the food on the table was already in place.

Normally, no matter where the emperor eats, he must test the poison with a silver needle.

After all, the emperor is the king of a country. If anything goes wrong, it will be a big deal.

However, Lao Zhu was still more casual. After all, all the personnel in Renyuanbo's house were arranged by Queen Ma, and he did not let his subordinates follow him.

"Huh? Is this an extra dish?"

Lao Zhu looked at the five dishes and one soup on the table with some doubts.

Although he knew that Su Jing was not extravagant and wasteful, at least he, the emperor, was here to eat, so he had to order more dishes.

"Your Majesty, I usually only eat three vegetables and one soup. Today I added two."

Butler Li quickly replied.

Although he felt that it was a bit too shabby to only serve five dishes and one soup, the explanation still needed to be explained.

"Oh, you usually only have three dishes and one soup. Su Jing, you are really frugal."

Zhu Yuanzhang sat on the main seat and said with a smile.

Of course, this was not said to Su Jing, but to Butler Li.

Lao Zhu still knew Su Jing's nature.

Moreover, Lao Zhu himself is also a person who cherishes food very much. After all, he experienced the pain of starvation when he was young.

"Okay, you go down."

Su Jing said to the frightened Butler Li.

If you continue to let Butler Li stay here, you will be torturing him.

"Yes, sir."

Butler Li left the restaurant almost immediately, forgetting to say goodbye to Zhu Yuanzhang.

Although Su Jing is the master, Lao Zhu is the emperor, and the emperor is the greatest.

Of course, Lao Zhu would not blame a housekeeper for this matter.

"Your Majesty, if you do as you like, I won't pick up the food for you."

Su Jing picked up her rice bowl and started eating directly.

Lao Zhu also quickly picked up his rice bowl: "Boy, don't just eat meat, leave some for us!"

Both of them are big foodies, but in less than a stick of incense, the food on the table has been wiped out.

"Phew...I haven't eaten so full for a long time."

Zhu Yuanzhang patted his belly and leaned back slightly, looking extremely comfortable.

On weekdays in the palace, although the food in the imperial dining room is delicious, Lao Zhu would not eat so much.

No one rushes to eat together, and the appetite is always low.

Su Jing took out a box of toothpicks, poured out two of them, gave one to herself and handed the other to Zhu Yuanzhang, saying: "Your Majesty, do you want one?"

Lao Zhu took it easily. If you eat a lot of meat, it is basically inevitable to stuff your teeth.

"Su Jing, your cook is very good at cooking. It seems that we will come more often in the future."

Lao Zhu said while picking his teeth.

Su Jing said calmly: "If Your Majesty wants to come for dinner, of course I have no objection, but Your Majesty, remember to bring money for the meal next time. Two meat dishes for a meal will be quite expensive."

"Huh? Food money?"

Lao Zhu frowned and said: "Su Jing, did we hear you correctly? How old are you, the boss, and you still have this little money?"

Lao Zhu had thoroughly investigated how many properties Su Jing had.

Although there are no very specific figures for revenue capabilities, Lao Zhu knows that Su Jing's ability to make money is exaggerated.

The money for some food is really a drop in the bucket for Su Jing.

Su Jing immediately said: "Your Majesty, this is wrong. I have money. I have money. You can't refuse to give it just because I have money."

"Then this house is a reward from us. Can't you use it as food expenses?"

Zhu Yuanzhang was unconvinced and said.

Su Jing spread her hands and said: "Your Majesty is wrong again. This house is a good reward from your Majesty, but if it is a reward from your Majesty, how can it be used as food money? If your Majesty feels that it is not cost-effective, you can take the house back. I No comment."

Zhu Yuanzhang's face became unhappy. What did Su Jing say?

"What do you mean, kid? Don't want the house we gave you, and then move back to Lishui County? Let me tell you, this is impossible!"

Zhu Yuanzhang immediately said: "Don't even think about using aggressive methods against us, you are still too young!"

After finally bringing Su Jing to the capital, how could she let him go back?

Su Jing sighed: "In that case, I will keep track of your majesty's meals today, and remember to pay them together when you come back later. This meal costs ten taels of silver."

Twelve?

Lao Zhu's face straightened again. He was not a deep palace emperor, and he didn't know the price level of the people.

Lao Zhu knew very well the purchasing power of ten taels of silver.

The five dishes and one soup that Su Jing served him today were all ordinary dishes, nothing particularly precious.

Even if you go to a restaurant to eat, a high-end one will only cost you three taels of silver at most.

Twelve!

This has more than tripled!

Zhu Yuanzhang didn't feel sorry for Yinzi, he just wanted to know why.

"Su Jing, tell us clearly, what's going on with these twelve taels?"

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Su Jing with a questioning attitude.

Su Jing shook her head and said: "Your Majesty, the price of my dishes is my freedom. Is it possible that Your Majesty still wants to interfere in such a trivial matter?"

"you!"

Lao Zhu was really angry with Su Jing and said: "Su Jing, you are also a businessman after all. Aren't you afraid of being laughed at by others for doing such a thing?"

"Hahaha!" Su Jing laughed and said, "Your Majesty, you are wrong again. If this matter spreads, others will only praise me instead of ridicule me."

"It's not easy for Your Majesty to make His Majesty spend money to eat."

Zhu Yuanzhang looked ugly. After hesitating for a long time, he stood up and rolled his sleeves and said, "Why don't we just eat?"

After saying that, Lao Zhu left angrily.

Su Jing looked at Zhu Yuanzhang's leaving figure and did not pursue him.

Su Jing didn't care at all about how many taels of money she had to eat.

He wanted Lao Zhu not to come here for free. After all, it was a small thing to have a meal, and it was true that he had to solve the problem by himself.

Su Jing has already dug a hole for himself, and he doesn't want to dig a second hole now.

And Lao Zhu left angrily, which made Butler Li extremely nervous.

If his master offends the emperor, he will most likely be implicated as the butler when he is unlucky.

But Su Jing had established her authority before, and Butler Li didn't dare to say anything to Su Jing. He could only worry about himself.

When Lao Zhu's carriage completely left, Su Jing also left the house directly.

Having dinner with Lao Zhu, I was really too full.

Su Jing had to go out for a walk to eat.

Passing by Zhiyi's courtyard gate, Su Jing discovered that Zhiyi was actually in the courtyard at this moment.

"Zhiyi."

Su Jing shouted and then walked straight in.

In the yard, Zhiyi was playing with a lot of fabrics. When she saw Su Jing coming, she immediately put down what she was doing and said, "Su Jing, why are you here?"

Su Jing smiled and said, "I had too much dinner, and I was just about to go out to eat. I passed by your door and happened to see you there, so I came in to take a look."

"That's just right. Please help me. It's hard for me to do this alone."

Zhiyi was not polite at all and directly ordered Su Jing.

Su Jing naturally had no objection and helped to play with the fabrics.

"Zhiyi, where is Tashi? Why isn't he there?"

Su Jing asked while helping.

Zhiyi replied: "He has something to do and has been outside for the past few days."

"Then you won't go out to set up a stall at night now?"

Su Jing continued to ask.

Zhiyi raised his head and said: "Su Jing, have you forgotten that it was Boss Niu you introduced to me before, and we have already reached a preliminary cooperation."

"Now I don't need to go out to set up a stall. I have to sort out the fabrics' processing steps."

Boss Niu?

Su Jing didn't react for a while, but soon, Su Jing knew that this was Zhu Jing's disguised identity.

When doing business with Zhiyi, it is naturally impossible to expose his identity as King Qin.

However, the title Boss Niu still made Su Jing smile.

"Then it seems like a good deal."

Su Jing smiled.

Su Jing would be very happy if Zhu Fang could do business well with Zhiyi.

"Well, Boss Niu is very capable. You really can't tell the difference between appearance and appearance."

Zhiyi nodded.

Thinking back now, Zhiyi was still surprised when she first met Zhu Xi.

Teenagers can actually do business?

If it weren't for Su Jing as a guarantee, Zhiyi would probably sit down and chat with Zhu Ming.

Su Jing smiled and said: "As long as everything goes well, Boss Niu is very capable. Don't be deceived by his appearance."

Su Jing is still very confident in the apprentice she taught herself.

Zhiyi said: "Su Jing, I heard Boss Niu call you husband, are you his teacher?"

Su Jing paused, nodded and said, "That's right."

Apart from Prince Zhu Biao, there are only two disciples that Su Jing truly recognizes.

One is the King of Wu, Zhu Xi, and the other is the King of Jin, Zhu Fan.

Zhu Xi, he really never admitted it to his face.

"You are really amazing. Such a young apprentice can achieve such a level."

Zhiyi combed the fabric over and over again, expressing sincere admiration.

Su Jing asked: "How did he cooperate with you?"

Su Jing had left the matter directly to Zhu Xi before, and Su Jing didn't bother to ask.

Zhiyi said: "Our current cooperation method is that I provide production technology. According to Boss Niu, this is technology investment."

"Then the factory building and processing equipment are all produced by him. I am responsible for the workers, training and recruiting."

"In terms of sales, he will handle all the sales. We will split the final profit 30-70."

Regarding this business, Zhiyi did not hide anything.

Without Su Jing, there would be no business.

"That's very good."

Su Jing nodded.

A 30-70 split, not a 50-50 split, shows that Zhu Ping really did not give away the profits because of himself.

Technology investment is relatively rare in Ming Dynasty.

"Su Jing, Boss Niu and I have discussed it, and we will each give you 10%."

Zhiyi said suddenly.

Give each one 10%?

Su Jing was taken aback by the sudden words, and immediately shook her head and said: "No need, I just took the lead in this matter, and besides, I don't lack the money."

Su Jing naturally knew that this was Zhiyi's way of thanking herself.

However, being able to directly give him 10% of the 30% profit shows that Zhiyi is quite generous.

He's a business guy.

If it were before, Su Jing would really have accepted the money.

But Su Jing already knew about Zhiyi's situation. The reason why she worked so hard to make money was not for herself, but to revive the tribe.

Su Jing would not want such money.

However, Su Jing underestimated Zhiyi's determination.

"Su Jing, you must accept this money, otherwise I won't do this business."

Zhiyi looked at Su Jing with an extremely determined attitude.

Zhiyi saw clearly that without Su Jing, it would be impossible for her to make money.

It seems that Su Jing has done nothing, but having such a relationship is a value in itself.

Another point is that Zhiyi doesn't want to have some different connection with Su Jing.

Maybe she didn't even realize that she was now dividing herself and Su Jing.

"In this way, we each give in. I will take it for a year, and then I won't let it go. After all, I don't know how long this business can last. One year is enough."

Su Jing saw Zhiyi's attitude and took the initiative to give in.

With Zhiyi's stubborn character, Su Jing knew that persuasion would be of no use.

If she could say it, she could do it.

"also."

After Zhiyi thought for a while, he agreed.

Su Jing smiled and said: "Others are rushing to get profits when doing business. It's really rare for you to take the initiative to give up profits."

Zhiyi raised her head and said: "Su Jing, I just want to do things with a clear conscience." (End of Chapter)
