Five years of garrison on the border, shocked Zhu Yuanzhang who went south to inspect

Chapter 26 Why should the king take risks?

Zhu Yuanzhang laughed and said: "I see, I can't do it either.

Xu Aiqing, when you get out of court, give these things to the six subordinates. "

Xu Da looked a little embarrassed: "It's not that I don't want to, but this tea is too expensive. If you want to drink it, you can buy it in the store in the south. Not only tea, but also many good things are available here."

Zhu Yuanzhang perked up: "Is there anything else I've never heard of?"

Xu Da looked confident: "Your Majesty, these things are extremely valuable, just like the mirror in the capital. In addition, I also know that there are more than 40 brewing methods. After you eat them, you can extend your life." , strengthen your kidneys."

"The porcelain sold here is all transparent, clearer than water."

"Really or not? I must go there tomorrow." Zhu Yuanzhang smiled slightly, and seeing that the time had come, he waved his hand: "Okay, it's getting late. You guys have to go and let me withdraw from the court."

"Holy Ann, Your Majesty."

As soon as he left the court, several ministers stopped Xu Da and asked him what kind of tea he had sent, so that he could win the emperor's favor.

Xu Da held a bag of tea in his arms and said with a smile: "Everyone, please ask the eunuchs in the palace to ask for a pot of good tea. Please taste it."

The father-in-law in the palace quickly brought a cup of tea, and a refreshing fragrance hit his nostrils.

Jiangxia Hou Zhou Dexing sniffed it, and he still had some unfinished thoughts, "Mr. Xu, can I have a cup of tea?"

"No problem." Xu Da smiled while holding a pot of tea.

Zhou Dexing drank it down in one gulp, his eyes lit up, and he said loudly: "Good tea, sweet in the mouth, full of aftertaste, I'll get you some later."

"I want to take a bite too."

"Haha, Lao Song is really lucky this time."

Some ministers had a drink and were all amazed.

"Mr. Xu, is this from the south?"

"Yes." Wang Yao said.Xu Da smiled faintly and glanced at the courtiers, as if looking at a piece of fat meat.

"Everyone, I got this from the south at a lot of cost. This shop not only sells tea, but also has many strange things. If you are interested, you might as well go and have a look."

Zhou Dexing smiled and said: "In that case, I will go."

"Let's go, let's go!" the officials said in unison.

After this court meeting, all the officials sent people to the south to ask if anyone had sold tea.

When the rich people saw this scene, they were all curious, and they sent people to investigate.

Seeing Ma San out of breath, Zhou Dexing asked: "Ma San, have you got it?"

Ma San wiped the sweat from his forehead: "No, no, I don't have enough money."

"I don't have enough money. You, the chief manager of the Zhou Mansion, if you can't handle this, what's the use of you?" Zhou Dexing looked contemptuous.

Ma San said: "Sir, I brought a lot of money this time, but the price of this tea is too high, a pound of tea costs 30 taels."

Lu Xiaofeng said: "What?" Zhou Dexing was startled and jumped up from his chair, looking distressed: "Who would want such good tea?"

"Yes, there are a lot of people queuing up. It is said that there are only five kilograms a day. Once it is sold out, there will be no more."

Zhou Dexing was shocked: "What?"

"That's not all. Sir, every item sold in this shop is at a sky-high price. For this reason, I think the entire big families in Beijing have begun to rush to buy it."

"It is said that this tea has sold for 50 taels in the market. Sir, should we buy it again?"

Zhou Dexing walked back and forth in the room several times and said solemnly: "I must, as a noble, if I can't drink tea, wouldn't it become a joke? Where is the face of my Zhou family?"

"Tomorrow, with 3000 taels, you will not only buy tea, but also take out all the rare treasures!"

"Yes!" "A great thing, my king!"

Xu Da came up to him with a smile on his face and congratulated Zhu Yuanzhang.

Zhu Yuanzhang, who was reading the official document, looked up and said, "Really? Who will buy these?"

"It's not just people, it's supply exceeding demand. It's only been half a day yesterday and it's already pure profit."

"If you take out all these things, you can exchange them for tens of thousands of taels of silver, which can alleviate the court's dilemma."

"Is this thing really that easy?" Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes were full of disbelief.

"God knows, those servants of the big men are going crazy and swarming over.

Shopping.Our store is almost destroyed. "

"There are many high-ranking officials in the capital." Zhu Yuanzhang murmured in a low voice, with a cold light flashing in his eyes, and ordered: "Hurry up and send someone to send a large amount of supplies to Lingnan."

"Also, according to Zhu Tuo, daily limited purchases and the creation of a high-end brand are all for the purpose of making money!"

"As ordered." Xu Da bowed.

"I want to take action myself, um, go to Annan and Jiaozhi!"

"On this patrol, I decided to bring 3000 soldiers to ensure my life. Lu Qing, what do you think?"

"Your Majesty, are you going to patrol or go to war?" Lu Qing was speechless.

"Patrol at the same time and fight at the same time."

"Your Majesty, the battle between Annan and Jiaozhi has just ended, and the people are full of hatred for Daming. Why did you take the risk to go to Annan and Jiaozhi?"

Zhu Tuo said solemnly: "They are the ones who have a grudge against Ming Dynasty. I want to patrol. If there is any place that treats me well, I will reward them. If anyone is disobedient, I will beat them up."

"This is the so-called strike first!"

"These people will not come to rob us in Lingnan anymore, so why waste time? What's more, with the autumn harvest now, there are many things to do in Lingnan, such as building roads, appointing officials, etc."

"Don't worry, I'm on my way, it won't be long, I'll be there as soon as possible."

Lu Qing advised: "The south is full of barbarians and uneducated. Why should the king take risks?"

Zhu Tuo looked solemn, and shouted: "Jiaozhi and Annan are both the territory of our Han nationality, but more than 100 years ago, the Yuan Dynasty was raging, and the actions of the Nanrong Kingdom have caused more than 50 large and small bandits. "

"These bandits have no regard for the Ming Dynasty, let alone the laws of the Ming Dynasty. Even their language, clothing, and writing are very different from those of the Ming Dynasty!"

"If this continues, will these places still belong to the Ming Dynasty?"

"As Prince Su of the Ming Dynasty, I am in charge of Jiaozhi, Jiuzhen, Nanhai County, and Hepu. I want to open all the channels in those areas, spread the Ming Dynasty civilization, and completely surrender to the Ming Dynasty!"

Lu Qing was speechless.

"Do you think that I, Prince Su, am greedy for comfort and not enterprising? I want to make great contributions to the Ming Dynasty! How can my own safety be compared with that of the Ming Dynasty?"

Lu Qingche was convinced by his words, "I hope the king will tell the censor and ask him to prepare some food."

Lu Xiaofeng said: "Then you go and ask Shi Zhangwei to come over, and I will talk to them personally."

Lu Qing hurriedly greeted him.

After a while, the great historian Zhang Wei came in and saluted Zhu Tuo.

"Mr. Zhang, I plan to go and have a look. What do you think?"

"I don't think so!"

Zhu Tuo shouted: "This is the foundation of the Ming Empire. If you are still thinking about my safety, there is no need. As a prince, I always have to do something and do something.
