Daming: After self-explosive time travel, Lao Zhu's mentality collapsed

When he decided to seek life for the people of Hengyang, Chu Ze thought of all the possibilities.

And doing business with the outside world is the fastest way.

Of course, what he was doing was not an ordinary business, otherwise he would not have specifically asked Zhu Yuanzhang for an order.

Chu Ze looked at Zuo Chong, waiting for him to read the contents on the paper.

Zuo Chongzai looked at it carefully.

The more he looked, the more indescribable Zuo Chong's expression became.

He understands all these fish and crabs.

But he didn't understand this Xianglian very much.

Zuo Chong picked up the paper, turned to Chu Ze and shouted loudly: "Did you make a mistake? This is Xianglian!"

Chu Ze's eyes swept over the paper.

"That's right."

What he wants to write about is Xianglian.

Chu Zeman took it for granted.

Zuo Chong: "..."

For a moment, he collapsed.

Chu Ze clearly saw Zuo Chong's expression twisting.

Finally he took a deep breath.

"Master Chu, Your Majesty, Xianglian is a tribute!"

It's hard even for him to eat these things.

As a result, Chu Ze now told him that they were going to take Xiang out and sell it as ordinary commodities.

What does this make him, who has been thinking about Xianglian for a long time, think?

Chu Ze listened with a calm expression.

Even after Zuo Chong finished speaking, he told Zuo Chong seriously: "Yes, we took it out just because it is a tribute."

"??"

Do you want to hear what nonsense you are talking about?

Could it be that if Xianglian wasn't a tribute, you wouldn't have planned to sell it? ?

Zuo Chong's expression was hard to describe.

But I have to say that he really guessed it right.

If Xianglian was just an ordinary lotus seed, he might not be interested in it.

But tributes are different.

That's something related to the royal family.

Ordinary people don't even dare to dream.

But now he puts these things that they didn't even dare to dream about directly in front of them.

"Do you think the people are going crazy?" Chu Ze looked at him with raised eyebrows, and described to Zuo Chong with joy, "Let's release the tributes and sell them at a high price. Ordinary people must not be able to afford them, and we didn't even think about it. Instead of letting ordinary people buy it, let’s let the rich buy it, exchange their silver for the people of Hengyang, and then use the money to exchange for food. Then the people don’t need to go hungry anymore?”

The most important thing is that the tributes have a big name and are full of gimmicks.

As soon as it is released, it can attract a lot of people without them having to advertise.

After attracting the attention of those people, are you still worried about selling other products?

At that time, the free money will not flow into their pockets.

When Chu Ze thought about this scene, he couldn't help but laugh.

Zuo Chong looked at him speechlessly.

"Then have you ever thought about it, not everyone has these things. And after this flood, even if they do exist, they will all be washed away by the water." No matter how well Xiang sells, money will only come in. That part of the people's pockets, while the rest still have to go hungry.

Is Chu Ze not going to care about them?

Zuo Chong looked at Chu Ze.

Hearing this, Li Xing also raised his head and looked at Chu Ze.

Chu Ze chuckled and said, "We have already thought about it."

Families who have these things are asked to take them out and sell them collectively. The money earned from the sales is exchanged for grain on the spot, and then distributed back to each household according to the price.

"As for those who have nothing, they can still get relief. Don't forget, there is also an official warehouse here. We have already gone to see it. There are still some things in the warehouse, and we can also exchange for some food. Besides, one month We can let them work for a while and then exchange them for food."

In this way, they don’t have to worry about going hungry.

"This method is good." Li Xing said.

As long as people are alive and willing to do things, they can get food back.

No need to be displaced. Zuo Chong also felt that this method was feasible.

"Then this Xiabu..." Zuo Chong's fingers changed positions.

Chu Ze said "Ah" and said, "Don't you know Xia Bu? This was very famous in the Tang Dynasty, and it was a tribute."

Unfortunately, it gradually became less popular.

The same is true now.

"Although the grass cloth here is not the best, it is not bad. Just let them make it and get money in exchange for it." Chu Ze's pursuit of quality is not very high, as long as it is not too bad.

Zuo Chong slapped the paper on the table, looked at Chu Ze unhappily, and said with a straight face: "What about us?"

After talking for so long, it was all about what they wanted to exchange for silver and food.

But upon closer inspection, these matters have nothing to do with him.

This kid... no, he doesn't want to buy it all by himself!

When he thought of this possibility, Zuo Chong was so frightened that he almost stood up.

He looked at Chu Ze warily.

Chu Ze was confused by him.

But his question is easy to answer.

Chu Ze relaxed his body, leaned on the stone table casually, and winked at Zuo Chong.

"Aren't you happy that you will be the royal merchant and do this business on behalf of the royal family?"

Zuo Chong: "...!"

"Really or not?!" Zuo Chong's eyes instantly flashed with light.

He immediately put his hands on the table and stared at Chu Ze nervously.

He was afraid that Chu Ze would tell him that it was just a joke.

He even forgot to breathe because of his nervousness.

Chu Ze also followed his example, leaning forward a little further, lowering his voice, and replied in a naughty tone: "Is that still fake?"

Zuo Chong instantly beamed.

He has long wanted to be an imperial merchant.

But it was previously occupied by the Wei family.

Now that the Wei family is gone, he finally has a chance to fight, but he is afraid that he can't compete with others.

It's fine now, don't worry anymore.

Zuo Chong's whole body relaxed visibly.

He relaxed and sat back down, eyes narrowed in amusement.

"Master Chu, when will the imperial edict arrive?" Zuo Chong asked.

Although Chu Ze told him the news, he was very happy.

But the benefit is only when you get it.

Chu Ze reached out and tapped the paper on the table: "This is a test."

The implication is that if things are done well, the imperial merchants will belong to you, but if things are not done well, the imperial merchants will have no chance with you.

Zuo Chong smiled angrily.

"You are fishing with an empty hook." There is no benefit, so you still want him to do something?

It's too beautiful to think about.

Zuo Chong didn't look at the paper. He only looked at Chu Ze with his arms folded, trying to talk to him about the conditions: "Bring me the imperial edict to make us emperor merchants. As soon as we get it, we will do it immediately. Even if you let us How about buying all these things and I agree?"

"No way."

Chu Ze refused without hesitation, saying: "This is the only and necessary condition."

Seeing Zuo Chong's unhappy face, Chu Ze shrugged indifferently.

"If you don't agree, we won't force you. There must be a lot of people who want to agree." After saying that, he picked up the paper and put it away, and said to Li Xing: "Is the painting done? Let's move to another place."

He didn't believe that Zuo Chongzhen would give up this opportunity.

Taking Qiao now is probably to get more benefits.

So Chu Ze can make him succeed?

The handle of the knife could only be held in his hand.

Chu Ze got up and left. (End of chapter)
