People in Hongwu, from heavenly master to emperor master

Chapter 111

"No, no, anyway, if you give me the jade, we won't sell it..."

Zhang Yi looked ashamed and angry, and wanted to grab the jade from shopkeeper Chen's hand, but shopkeeper Chen leaned back, but Zhang Yi didn't succeed.

"Little brother, if you have something to say, talk about it, and the price can also be negotiated..."

He seemed to smell something different, and began to play tricks.

Zhang Yi was a little anxious and shouted:

"This is something from our Yanshenggong Mansion, don't make any mistakes, or we will tell the emperor..."

Chen Ke's smile instantly froze on his face, and the jade in his hand almost fell off.

"Yanshenggong Mansion?"

The Confucian family in Qufu and the mansion of Yansheng Gong may have been scourges to avoid in the eyes of those Beijing officials who are like thousand-year-old foxes, but in the eyes of ordinary people, they are unattainable figures.

The Kong family has enjoyed hundreds of years of incense. Although it is not as down-to-earth as the Zhang family among the people, it has also gained enough awe from the people.

Chen Ke was a little cautious at first, but was frightened by the word Yansheng Gongfu and took it back.

Mr. Kong, is this the young master of the Kong family selling something?

No wonder he refused to reveal his identity!
"Ah, I said the wrong thing, not..."

Zhang Yi was so anxious that he was on the verge of crying: "The young master said you can't say it, and the young master will blame me again!"

"Little brother, don't worry!"

Seeing Zhang Yi's appearance, Chen Ke comforted him with a soft voice:

"As long as I don't tell you, your young master won't know about it either!"

Even though he said so, he rang the bell in his hand, and the guy came in immediately.

Chen Ke whispered something to the guy in his ear.

The clerk understood, he closed the door from the outside, served tea and walked towards Kong Na.

Kong Na was a little anxious at first, but the guy suddenly shouted:

"Master Kong!"

"what!"

"No, my surname is not Kong!"

Kong Na remembered what Zhang Yi said just now, and quickly waved his hand to deny it.

"It's the little one who called the wrong one. I'll give you a new tea!"

"Thank you!"

He got the answer he wanted, then put down the teacup, and went back to report to Shopkeeper Chen!
Not long after, Chen Ke got the answer he wanted, and there was a trace of excitement in his eyes.

He was embarrassed when he saw Zhang Yi in front of him, and he was determined.

"Xiao Zhang, don't be impatient, I heard you say that, I decided to take a closer look, man, old!"

Shopkeeper Chen picked up the jade and looked at it carefully:
"Look at my old eyes, I missed it. This kind of jade is transparent. It is a rare and good jade. I think it is worth 2000 taels of silver..."

"so much?"

Zhang Yi took a deep breath, Chen Ke was a little proud to see him like this, he said:
"That's right, if I let this hall sell it, this jade can probably be sold for 500 taels of silver, but you have to understand, little brother, there is always some profit to open the door to do business!"

"understand!"

Zhang Yi didn't understand jade, but the price of this piece of jade far exceeded his expectations.

He knew that he was a kid, and if he entered this place, he would be swallowed up by these people until there were no bones left.

Finding a big jade shop was already the best way he could think of.

Who knew that this kind of big business would be so shameless, but luckily he had an extra heart and brought that kid Kong Na over here.

He also noticed that Chen Ke went to test Kong Na. He brought Kong Na here, so he was naturally not afraid of that guy being tested.

Kong Na outside didn't know, it was just a matter of standing with Zhang Yifei for a while, that boy Zhang Yi had already figured out how to sell him, and the result was not bad, at least better than him and Deng Zhongxiu coming over stupidly.

"Forget it, make a friend, just treat me as an apology for the rudeness just now, I will take this jade for 200 taels of silver! If you are satisfied, little brother, I will ask someone to give you the money!

I don't know if you want gold or silver notes? "

During the Hongwu period, one tael of gold could be exchanged for about five taels of silver, and 200 taels of silver was almost 440 taels of gold, which weighed about 27 catties. It was obviously unrealistic for Zhang Yi and Kong Na to take it back with their small bodies.

"Change it to a bank note!"

Zhang Yi chose banknotes. Anyway, banknotes had formed a mature system in the previous dynasty. Before the old Zhuyin Daming treasure banknotes, the banknotes of big merchants were still guaranteed to be exchanged.

"Row!"

Chen Ke asked someone to bring the bank notes and handed them to Zhang Yi for counting.

Zhang Yi got what he wanted and was very satisfied.

"It's a pity that Master Kong didn't want to reveal his identity, so he didn't have the chance to meet him, but it's the same with people like Xiaoyou. If there is business in the future, please take care of me, Runyutang,
You have the opportunity to give us a few more good words in the future! "

"Shopkeeper, easy to talk about!"

"I don't know my brother's name!"

"Zhang Sanfeng! I am the young master's book boy, so I should not be praised by Master Chen like this!"

"Zhang Sanfeng?"

"Ok!"

Chen Ke didn't doubt that he was there, chatted with Zhang Yi and left the room with a smile.

"How are you?"

Conne stayed outside, but he was very nervous. It was the first time he went out alone without the company of his family, and he seemed frightened.

I didn't feel it when I was with Zhang Yi, but sitting here alone, I was a little happy to see Zhang Yi coming over.

A young master from a rich family lacks the appearance of seeing the world, which makes the old fox Chen Ke more sure that he is the young master of the Kong family.

"Short...brother, it's done!"

Zhang Yi walked over with an excited expression, and Kong Na nodded when he heard that the matter was done.

He bowed to the shopkeeper, Erxiao left Runyutang.

"Big... shopkeeper... you..."

"Don't ask if you shouldn't. Since it's the Kong family, don't care about the money! Send someone to the Kong family tomorrow to verify whether this young master is from the Kong family!"

"Yes!"

Zhang Yi and Kong Na didn't realize at all, where is the real dragon hidden in the store they randomly chose?

He was in a great mood to do what he wanted to do.

Two thousand, 200 taels of silver was twice as much as he had imagined, and he could then buy more materials to research antibiotics.

"By the way, Nane, your family is from Shandong, can you contact the source of garlic?"

"Don't call me Nene, disgusting..."

Contempt showed on Kong Na's face, and Zhang Yi shrugged:

"Forget, you are a young master who doesn't work hard and doesn't distinguish grains!"

"Who do you say does not work in limbs and does not distinguish grains?"

Kong Na only felt that if he said a few more words to Zhang Yi, he would be pissed off.

However, Zhang Yi didn't answer the conversation at all, but put his shoulders on Kong Na's shoulders. He was a little small and stood on tiptoe:
"Forget it, I'm in a good mood today, let's make a big deal, I'll treat you to something..."

"I don't want to eat, let's go back quickly, if the husband finds out..."

"Don't be nervous, our husband is also a sacrificial wine after all, he doesn't have that much time to talk to us, look, are you sure you don't want a piece of this sugar man?"

Zhang Yi saw a sugar seller's stall and ran over quickly.

Then he quickly asked the price of the peddler and bought two sugar figurines.

Handing one to Kong Na, Kong Na hesitated and took it.

"So sweet!"

The young master of the Kong family seldom has the opportunity to go out, let alone wander in the market and eat some market food.

"My son Zhang will pay for all your consumption today! Don't be polite to me..."

There are more than 2000 taels of silver notes in my arms, and I can't spend them all, I can't spend them all!
Then Kong Na was taken by Zhang Yi to wander around the downtown area in a daze. In fact, both of them were not in a hurry with Tianfu.

"It's a pity that we are still young, otherwise I will take you up to see the world!"

The two unknowingly walked to the Qinhuai River, looking at the distant view of the Jiangnan where there were many shops and bustling with people, Kong Na ignored Zhang Yi's tongue-in-cheek taking advantage of him.

"I haven't seen this scene for a while!"

Kong Na looked at the people walking, with a smile on his face, he couldn't help but sigh!
"Because the world is peaceful. The people are also happy!"

Zhang Yi licked the sugar figurine, and said in a loud voice:
"I'd rather be a dog of peace than a person in troubled times...

This world is peaceful, even though life is a bit tough, the people have a way to go,

At least they don't have to change their sons to eat like the previous dynasty, and they won't suffer the pain that His Majesty has encountered today, witnessing their parents starving to death before their own eyes,
Your Kong family is high above you, you are a figure on the clouds, when did you look down and see the tragedy of this troubled world? "

Kong Na blushed when he heard the words, he really wanted to refute Zhang Yi, but found that he couldn't refute.

How about not talking about Kong Kejian and Kong Xixue?
He, Kong Na, experienced the troubled times at the end of the Yuan Dynasty, and he was also well-clothed and well-fed.

What Zhang Yi said about changing children to eat is just a distant legend and a curious story to him.

Among other things, when he saw Zhang Yi, a stinky boy, say these words, he rarely put away the smile on his face, and felt emotional.

This is real empathy, not my own worries about writing new words.

The difference between people made Kong Na very uncomfortable, and he said stiffly:

"Isn't it the same for you? My Kong family has enjoyed the wealth of the Mongols for 80 years, and your Zhang family has lost half of it. There are thousands of miles under the Dragon and Tiger Mountain. Where is there no land from your Zhang family?
If your Zhang family buys a degree certificate, at least you can get 20 taels of silver in the account. Nowadays, at least half of the Taoist priests in the world are issued by your Zhang family. Are you embarrassed to ridicule me? "

"It makes sense for you to say that. My Zhang family is indeed suspected of being a traitor!"

After all, Kong Na still underestimated Zhang Yi's shamelessness. When he said the words he least wanted to face with a playful face, Kong Na suffocated instantly.

The power of sincerity is the most powerless. Kong Na tried his best to punch Zhang Yi, but it seemed to hit cotton.

"You always feel that the word traitor has wronged the Kong family, maybe you think everyone is in their own right, and you sympathize with your grandfather's position...

But from the point of view of the general situation, I think our emperor is a great person. Although he is eccentric and narrow-minded, he is very great.

It is he who has made it possible for the Han family, which has been divided for hundreds of years, to reunite. This is the mission entrusted to the emperor by God, and it is also the luck of my Han family.
In the face of this torrent of history, your grandfather is against the current, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he is a traitor! "

Kong Na's mouth was parched, and he really wanted to refute Zhang Yi.

Zhang Yi continued:
"Even if the emperor went to Qufu to invite your grandfather, your grandfather came here in person instead of recovering from his illness. This title does not fall on your grandfather's head, but you also understand that your grandfather is still insisting on it. Why? "

"Maybe you think I'm hypocritical, but you're right. My Zhang family also inherited the benefits of the previous dynasty, so I was also punished. Being deprived of the position of celestial master, in fact, the harm to my father will not be much less than that of your grandfather." !

It's just that I...or our Zhang family's choice is different from yours. We are repaying the karma of the previous dynasty! "

"Like... vaccination?"

Conne tentatively asked.

"Yes, but more than that!"

When Zhang Yi said these words, he had enough confidence.

The Zhang family’s submission of the vaccination method actually involves certain political risks. He is too familiar with that king. It is common for him to give you glory today, but turn his face ruthlessly tomorrow.

Just like when Liu Bowen was old and people reported Liu Bowen for treason, this kind of nonsense would still make Zhu Yuanzhang furious.

It can be seen from this that taking the lead is actually not a good thing for the Zhang family.

If Longhushan wants to be safe and sound, the best way is to kill Zhu Yuanzhang in a low-key manner.

"We are all descendants of aristocratic families. Instead of caring about what you have all day long, why don't you think about what you can do?"

Zhang Yi jumped up, turned around and left.

Conne hurried to catch up:
"what can I do?"

"I see that you helped me today, and I'll send you a sentence!
In August, the wind will change..."

When Kong Na was thinking, Zhang Yi had already gone far away!
"What does August mean? Can't you Taoists speak human language?"

Conner hurried to catch up.
