"If we don't know, then no one in this world will know what's going on." Zhu Yuanzhang sneered secretly in his heart.
The person in front of me is the kind of ordinary person who likes to talk nonsense.
Lao Zhu didn't know how many people he had seen like this.
Anyway, this journey alone takes two full days by train.
If you have nothing to do, just take it as a way to relieve your boredom.
At this time, trains have just come out, and all aspects of technology are not very perfect.
Although it has officially started operation, the driving speed is much slower than galloping horses.
Of course, no matter how slow the train is, its transportation capacity is definitely not comparable to that of horses.
Plus, it can carry more people.
Now more and more people are aware of the power of trains.
Xiao He's voice continued: "But looking at your dress and conversation, brother, the situation at home in your early years should not have been particularly good."
Although Lao Zhu didn't quite agree with his brother's words.
Zhu Yuanzhang listened patiently and responded with a few words from time to time to let the other party know that he was listening.
He is the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, and this Xiao He is just an ordinary businessman.
Therefore, although the movement on their side attracted some attention, no one paid much attention to them.
Even if you are an official of the imperial court, it is not that easy to get someone of higher rank.
"Brother, your surname is Chang. You should be an elder of the E Kingdom Duke Chang Yuchun. Am I right?"
Train tickets alone are not something ordinary people can afford.
Zhu Yuanzhang felt that this guy was really powerful.
Zhu Yuanzhang said with a half-smile, "Brother, who do you think I am?"
It is really not that easy for ordinary people to get tickets.
If it were in the past, it would have been businessmen who speculated and took the opportunity to sell grain to the disaster areas and transfer high profits.
This kind of bet is harmless, so Lao Zhu naturally said: "Okay, then it's settled."
After saying this, Zhu Yuanzhang gloated and added in his heart.
This guy is also a good talker. While flattering Zhu Yuanzhang, he did not forget to bring Queen Ma with him.
After all, even if we don’t talk about those personal relationships.
"We businessmen are in the business of buying low and selling high. Sometimes it is inevitable that people will think that we are getting something for nothing."
Xiao He didn't pay attention to Dean Zhu's little move. He took the initiative to pour the wine for Zhu Yuanzhang and picked up the glass: "Brother, let me toast you first."
Zhu Yuanzhang secretly rolled his eyes when he heard Xiao He complain.
After careful understanding, I realized that this Xiao He is not the other Xiao He.
Even if he was rebuffed by Zhu Yuanzhang, he was not angry.
It was now that Zhu Yuanzhang gradually realized that if Ming Dynasty wanted to become truly prosperous and strong, it could not do without businessmen.
Although the price of train tickets is not particularly expensive, it is really expensive nowadays.
"However, I'm afraid you won't have this chance."
Zhu Yuanzhang raised his eyebrows, but didn't say much.
But countless evidences show that Zhu Han is correct most of the time.
If others are outside the palace, all the rules are exactly the same as in the palace.
First-rate companies focus on performance, while third-rate companies focus on discipline.
The other party didn't even know that Zhu Yuanzhang had already found out his details.
Xiao He looked confident: "If my guess is correct, brother, you must be a distant relative of a certain Duke of the imperial court."
It's just that Zhu Yuanzhang finds it strange that his current identity is just an ordinary person.
This man is a traveler who travels all over the country and has no fixed livelihood. He just does whatever makes money.
To have a meal, someone needs to test the poison. Doesn’t that mean there is no silver in this place?
Zhu Yuanzhang was also generous. He had a drink with Xiao He and pointedly said: "My brother is very well prepared."
This is a private interview on incognito. For convenience, my pseudonym is always used.
However, it’s not just chicken, duck and fish.
"But in recent years, I have suddenly become rich again. Am I right?"
At that moment, Lao Zhu smiled slightly: "Brother, you have talked a lot and still haven't made it clear what our identity is." "Maybe you guessed wrong and we are just an ordinary farmer?"
After getting off the train, I'm afraid there will never be any intersection between the two parties in this life.
Xiao He didn't hide it and laughed loudly: "Brother, I have a sharp eye. I know that my little tricks cannot be hidden from your discernment."
"If there is an opportunity in the future, if I still remember what happened today, I will naturally be very grateful."
Lao Zhu laughed loudly and said: "We like to hear this. The most proud thing in our life is to marry a good wife."
After finishing speaking, drink it all in one gulp.
Leave those messy things to your son.
He looked at Zhu Yuanzhang with a smile and said, "Since I asked, let me take a guess."
Xiao He curled his lips: "Brother, are you bored now? With your manner of speaking and my sister-in-law's temperament."
How about not chatting like this?
At this time, as long as we can obtain food and successfully transport it to Datong, we can easily earn several times the profit.
Xiao He seemed to have known that Zhu Yuanzhang would ask this question.
The other party's attitude clearly made it obvious that he was just joking.
Even in Yingtian Mansion, the price of one stone of grain is less than a cartload of silver.
Nowadays, the most profitable business in the Ming Dynasty is of course grain trafficking.
Seeing the surprised look on his face, Xiao He laughed loudly and pointed at his eyes: "Brother, I have traveled all over the world for so many years, and it is none other than these eyes."
What Zhu Yuanzhang meant by guessing his identity was to guess who his fake identity was.
"Looking at your attitude towards businessmen, brother, you are definitely not a businessman yourself. Am I right?"
For the rest, there will naturally be an internal condition system.
Although it was a little clever, Xiao He was not very objectionable.
After the food was served, when Zhu Yuanzhang was about to move his chopsticks, the expression of a young man next to him changed slightly, as if he wanted to step forward to stop him.
Whatever he said, he only picked out the nice things to say, and didn't mention anything that might cause displeasure.
When mentioning this, Xiao He said depressedly: "I'm different from you, brother. For a person of your status, brother, it's just a matter of words to get a train ticket."
"I know, brother, you look down on lowly businessmen like us. But don't worry, I'm definitely not asking you for anything."
In name, they are really relatives of Chang Yuchun.
Moreover, now that he had left the court, Zhu Yuanzhang also wanted to take a holiday for himself.
This guy Xiao He just did something clever.
"It is said that the Academy of Sciences is currently studying a new type of train." The person sitting opposite Zhu Yuanzhang started talking about the situation in Datong, then the general trend of the world, and finally talked about the new type of train. He talked about whatever came to mind from all over the world.
Xiao He stopped as soon as he clicked, and then said with a smile: "Brother, how about we make a bet? If I guess wrong, I will treat you to a drink at noon."
"It looks like it's quite profitable, six or seven times the profit."
This guy is so virtuous and capable that he dares to call Xiao He by the same name.
Because his family status is still like this.
He even hugged Zhu Yuanzhang and said, "I can see that my brother doesn't think highly of businessmen like me."
Although what Xiao He said is vague, most of it is true.
Of course he could see that since driving, Xiao He had been getting close to him intentionally or unintentionally.
Don't think that because you are older, you can talk nonsense.
"Uh..." Xiao He, who was talking excitedly, almost lost his breath.
Instead, he laughed and said, "Brother, what you said does make sense."
After all, Lao Zhu was also a general who had led troops in war, and he understood very well that the more dangerous a place is, the safer it is.
Zhu Yuanzhang didn't bother to talk nonsense with him, and directly asked the Jin Yiwei to pull him out and chop him: "No matter how hard you work, you can still live a better life than ordinary people."
This time, I felt comfortable photographing Zhu Yuanzhang.
It's just that people who can afford to take the train will certainly not be much worse off.
Xiao He smiled generously: "Brother, you're giving me a chill. I did take a trick this time. Just consider it a loser. I'll treat you to this lunch today."
If any businessman could know who he was, then his job as emperor would be in vain.
Zhu Yuanzhang's smile was a little stiff.
Xiao He finally concluded: "Also, brother, you can get the train ticket, which shows that your relationship in the court is extraordinary."
As the helmsman of this empire, he only needs to be able to control the general direction.
Zhu Yuanzhang was expressionless, not letting the other party get any information from his face: "Brother, aren't you the same? It's not that easy to get a train ticket now."
"Just saying this to you, brother, if there is a chance in the future, we will never stand idly by if we can help."
Even some officials live a tight life.
If someone dared to poison food, it would be no joke, and it would definitely cause huge waves throughout the Ming Dynasty.
After all, this was a relatively interesting person that Zhu Yuanzhang met.
Zhu Yuanzhang was a little impressed by this Xiao He. He thought he hid it well, but he didn't expect that Xiao He would see it out.
But Xiao He used a relatively broad term.
"Unlike me, I don't know how much money it will cost and how many connections it will take."
"When we do business, we focus on harmony and wealth. One more friend means more paths."
Without waiting for noon, Xiao He directly asked for two bottles of fine Fenjiu and prepared chicken, duck and fish.
Zhu Yuanzhang asked knowingly: "What if I just don't want to do business with you?"
After all, Lao Zhu is the current emperor. When he was in the palace, his food and daily life were handled by dedicated people, which was a little better.
Zhu Yuanzhang shook his head slightly and glared back with a sharp look.
There is obviously something in this statement. It certainly means that Xiao He has already prepared to eat and drink. Of course, it also means that Xiao He has already prepared to have a relationship with someone.
Therefore, Zhu Yuanzhang turned a blind eye and pretended that nothing happened.
But it seems wrong to say that Xiao He guessed wrong.
"But brother, many people only see us businessmen making money, but don't know how much we have done."
Zhu Yuanzhang never expected that Xiao He could actually see so many things.
There is no need for Xiao He to fawn over himself like this, right?
Could it be that your identity has been exposed?
But soon, Zhu Yuanzhang himself rejected this speculation.
At that moment, Zhu Yuanzhang laughed: "My brother is really smart. We lost this time."
Xiao He continued to pour wine for Zhu Yuanzhang indifferently: "No matter what you do, brother, I have no objection. Even after we get off the train, it doesn't matter if none of us are the same. You can treat me to this meal."
, this is already my honor."
My brother once said that some things must have a reason for their existence.
In this period of Ming Dynasty, people's lives are much better than in history.
Now that I have left the palace, I dare not neglect my food.
"Brother, let me tell you, when we do business, we are all about buying high and selling low. The most important thing is to seize the opportunity and control the prices in the world."
This man's name is Xiao He, a native of Tianshui, Gansu.
If fate really allows Xiao He to see him again, Zhu Yuanzhang really doesn't mind giving this guy a little convenience.
It’s just because the travel needs of ordinary people in this era are not that high.
"Let's not talk about how far away it is. Let's just say that we are going to Datong this time to transport the goods, right?"
Same pronunciation but different words.
"If I guess right, I'll have to let you spend the money, brother."
How can a person who doesn't know how to chat live to such an old age and not be beaten to death by the reinforcements?
After all, people like Xiao He are traveling all over the world, and their reflexes are absolutely unparalleled.
Therefore, even if Zhu Yuanzhang was unhappy, he did not show it.
When he just heard this name, Zhu Yuanzhang was also startled.
At this time, Zhu Biao and Tang He may have just found out his identity.
Zhu Yuanzhang nodded in disbelief. As long as he is not blind, he can basically see this kind of thing, and it is not a big deal.
If he didn't know who this guy was, Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help but wonder if he was born stupid.
Xiao He was stunned for a moment, and then laughed: "I didn't expect that, brother, you are also a person with a world in mind, I admire you."
Zhu Yuanzhang heard this and asked with great interest: "Didn't you just say that the people in Datong Prefecture are already in dire straits? In that case, you are still selling grain to Datong Prefecture at a high price. Isn't this complicit with those corrupt officials?
"
Of course, the premise is that this guy doesn't violate any Ming laws.
If this is the case, even if he thinks this person is quite interesting, Zhu Yuanzhang will never be tolerant of him at all.
Of course Xiao He didn't know what Zhu Yuanzhang was thinking. Seeing that Zhu Yuanzhang was overjoyed, he immediately poured wine for Zhu Yuanzhang even harder.
