Yao Guangxiao is not well-known, but he will be the first contributor to Zhu Di's battle in the future.
It can be said that if it were not for Yao Guangxiao, Zhu Di would have suffered greatly in many aspects secretly. Among them, his manipulation and manipulation were all attributed to Yao Guangxiao.
The famous prime minister in black in later generations did not gain his fame in vain.
Since arriving in the capital with Zhu Di, Yao Guangxiao has been going out early in the morning and returning in the evening. He is very busy with everything he has to offer.
And Huang Zicheng is Yao Guangxiao's main target.
As Zhu Yunwen's confidant teacher, Huang Zicheng, Yao Guangxiao began to gradually influence him early on.
Later, after Zhu Yunwen became Emperor Jianwen, he insisted on adopting Huang Zicheng's plan of weakening the vassal first and then strengthening it.
No one knows whether this was influenced by Yao Guangxiao.
It is still unknown whether ordinary people have taken advantage of Yao Guangxiao's silent means of moisturizing things.
Even if there is a guess, there are only a few clues, and it cannot be confirmed afterwards.
This is Yao Guangxiao's brilliance.
.........
Along the Qinhuai River.
Zhu Ying and Zhu Gaochi were standing in front of a teahouse.
This is the teahouse where Zhu Di belongs. After obtaining the consent of his father Zhu Di, Zhu Gaochi took the land deed and gave it to Zhu Ying today.
Zhu Gaochi seems to be loyal and honest, but in fact he has a lot of money in his heart. After all, he used to see his uncle Zhu Biao often.
Of course, the similarity can be seen at a glance in Zhu Ying's appearance.
But Zhu Gaochi didn't ask his father anything, he just made good friends with Zhu Ying.
Even his family's property in the capital was offered to Zhu Ying before his father Zhu Di agreed.
"It's really a good position." Zhu Ying said with some emotion.
In front of the two of them was a small two-story teahouse with an area of about half an acre, which was the size of 300 square meters in later generations.
In a place like the capital where there is a lot of money, it is not something you can buy with money.
Next to it is the Qinhuai River, and you can clearly see the scenery of Qinhuai from the second floor window.
The current Qinhuai River in the early Ming Dynasty is not as wide as the 20 or 30 meters in later generations, but more than 100 meters wide.
The Qinhuai River mentioned here is the Inner Qinhuai River, not the Outer Qinhuai River.
Before the late Tang Dynasty, the Qinhuai River was outside the main city, and there was no distinction between the inner and outer Qinhuai Rivers.
Later, when the top administrator of Nanjing built a new city, he surrounded the Qinhuai River into the main city and opened a moat outside the city. This moat is now the outer Qinhuai River.
In the early Ming Dynasty, Nanjing was designated as the capital, and the two sides of the Qinhuai River became prosperous.
There are many handicraft industries, teahouses, brothels and shops on both sides of the Taiwan Strait.
There are even many river houses, which are houses that extend into Hanoi. The teahouse that Zhu Ying is about to acquire is also one of the river houses.
The number of river houses continued to increase, and the river surface was increasingly occupied. This is the main reason why the Qinhuai River in later generations was only twenty or thirty meters wide.
Qinhuai, which is ten miles away, is the bustling place of Nanjing. The Eight Beauties of Qinhuai in the late Ming and early Qing Dynasties are also famous here.
Opposite the teahouse, on one side is the very famous Jiangnan Gongyuan in history.
On the side of Zhu Ying Teahouse, there is a gathering place for famous artists from the Southern Jiaofang. The famous ones are Jiuyuan and Zhushi.
With Zhu Ying's ears, she could still vaguely hear the sounds of warblers and swallows.
Occasionally when the wind blows, you can still smell the fragrance of rouge.
And this tea house is located in the middle of the street. Its location is excellent. It can no longer be measured in silver coins. It represents more of a status.
"Isn't this a little too expensive?" Even though Zhu Ying was worth a lot of money, she still felt a little flattered when facing such a teahouse.
Even if this teahouse is just rented out, I'm afraid it will cost hundreds of dollars a year.
In the seventh year of Hongwu, Zhu Yuanzhang promulgated the "Banknote Law" and set up a treasure banknote promotion department. The following year, Ming Dynasty treasure banknotes were issued.
But as of now, the Ming Dynasty treasure banknotes are already showing signs of decline.
At this time, the paper quality was poor and the Ming Dynasty banknotes were not durable.
In addition, Ming Dynasty banknotes were only issued but not collected. There was no demarcation or recycling of old banknotes, and there was no limit on the number of issuances.
As a result, more and more banknotes are circulating in the market, and they are inundated. Inflation and rapid depreciation occur in the year of issuance.
Hongwu Tongbao was also issued earlier, but the copper coins were badly made and inconvenient to use, and the Ming Dynasty was short of copper.
Coupled with the serious depreciation of treasure banknotes, silver has inevitably become the main currency for public and private transactions.
The convenience of broken silver currency suppressed the inflation caused by the chaos of the currency system in the early stage, and the monetary economy was able to develop.
"This teahouse is of little use in the hands of my father. You can see the bustle everywhere, but this teahouse is deserted."
"It's better that you don't dislike this teahouse."
Zhu Gaochi said with a smile, but what he said was also true.
Many such good positions are usually under the hands of various vassal kings.
Under the influence of Zhu Yuanzhang, none of the vassal princes liked to do business. Basically, the shops were left to the subordinates and left alone. Most of them only received a rental fee, which was not as high as the income from a few acres of vassal land.
"Then thank you very much, eldest prince."
Zhu Ying did not mention the land deed, and Zhu Gaochi seemed to have forgotten it.
Being able to successfully secure the throne without causing any trouble in the country later, Zhu Gaochi's city was much better than those two reckless brothers.
If it weren't for his health, Zhu Gaochi wouldn't have to be as cautious as he is now.
During the Yongle period, Zhu Di was warlike, and Zhu Gaochi had always been in charge of domestic affairs. Those two younger brothers only focused on military power and never cared about people's livelihood.
Five days passed in the blink of an eye.
During these five days, Zhu Ying also ushered in the day when the teahouse was about to open.
The teahouse was named Pingan Teahouse.
Although it is said to be a tea house, it is actually not much different from a breakfast shop.
Teahouses in the Ming Dynasty operated many projects.
Usually they sell breakfast in the morning, drink tea and listen to books in the afternoon.
The most popular people during the Ming Dynasty were storytellers. This is how the so-called Tang poetry, Song lyrics, Yuan opera, and Ming novels came from.
Zhu Ying asked Uncle Zhang to find a storyteller and left it alone. After being influenced by later generations, these storytellers now have little meaning if they are new.
Zhu Ying has no intention of writing any novels and stories, that's all.
Uncle Zhang is a good shopkeeper and cook.
In recent years, Zhu Ying has been picky about what she eats and doesn't want to cook it herself, so she basically taught Uncle Zhang how to cook it.
