The innkeeper, whose nose was neither nose nor eyes just now, now had an old face smiling like a big chrysanthemum.
Soon, the owner of the voice entered the inn.
This man was in his forties and was wearing linen clothes.
However, you can tell by his appearance that he is definitely not a poor person. The feeling given to Lao Zhu should be similar to the Xiao He he met before.
After this person entered the inn, he saw Zhu Yuanzhang and others standing there, and couldn't help but take a few more glances.
When the innkeeper came to greet him, Boss Zhou smiled and hugged him: "Businesskeeper Feng's business is booming."
Mentioning this, the innkeeper suddenly looked unhappy. When he turned to look at Zhu Yuanzhang and the others, his face was filled with contempt: "We have no rooms here now, you should leave quickly."
Zhu Yuanzhang said with a cold face: "Shopkeeper, is something wrong with you?"
"When doing business, you have to be on a first-come, first-served basis. We were the ones who came first, so how can you rent it to others?"
The boss that week was a sensible person. After hearing what Zhu Yuanzhang said, he immediately said apologetically: "Shopkeeper Feng, it turns out that these people are also here to stay in the hotel. Since they came first, let them stay first, but
Don’t ruin your reputation, Shopkeeper Feng, I’ll just find another inn.”
When Shopkeeper Feng heard this, his face suddenly turned green.
He grabbed Boss Zhou tightly and explained: "Boss Zhou, that's not what you said."
"Although these guys came here first, they didn't want to live there because they thought it was expensive."
"Even without you, Boss Zhou, they would not stay here."
Shopkeeper Feng used the shortest time to comfort Boss Zhou, and then looked at Zhu Yuanzhang fiercely and said: "I said you are just looking for trouble, right? You don't want to live here anymore, so how can I break the rules by renting it to others?"
"If you dare to delay my business, believe it or not, I will go to the government to sue you?"
Good guy, in order to threaten Lao Zhu and the others, even the government moved out.
The government offices of this era were not so easy to get into.
Moreover, shopkeeper Feng probably didn't know that if he really reported himself as an official, he would be playing into Zhu Yuanzhang's hands.
He is Zhu Yuanzhang, the founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty.
If he really wants to see an official, those officials will kneel down to him.
Moreover, in this era when people sue officials, no matter whether you have a reason or not, just hit the 20th big board first and then talk about it.
Of course, this system is extremely unreasonable. If Zhu Han knew about it, he would definitely correct it as soon as possible.
However, Zhu Han usually has too many things to be busy with. Even if he could divide himself, he would probably be too busy to keep up with the Ming Dynasty.
In addition, Zhu Han is not a history major, and he is not particularly clear about many basic legal provisions.
Therefore, this clause has never been corrected.
Ordinary people only sue officials. What about Zhu Guo suing His Majesty?
It would be easy to just drag him out and beat him to death.
If it's more serious, it can even be directly regarded as rebellion.
"good……"
The angry Zhu Yuanzhang was about to say yes when Empress Ma pulled him quietly: "Chongba, don't forget what we are here to do?"
"The innkeeper doesn't steal or rob. How the inn collects cash is his own business. We shouldn't interfere."
"It's more important to go and see Qiwu now. There's no need to behave like a small shopkeeper."
Zhu Yuanzhang also understood that what Empress Ma said was true.
This time when he went on tour incognito, everything else was secondary. The most important thing was to see with his own eyes what the current Datong Mansion had become.
If one's identity is exposed at this moment, what kind of private visit is it?
For his own plan, Zhu Yuanzhang suppressed the anger in his heart.
He turned around and left with the guards: "Let's go."
Just after he stepped out of the inn door, Zhu Yuanzhang heard the strange and sarcastic voice of shopkeeper Feng behind him: "Some people can't even afford to stay in an inn, so don't pretend to be rich."
Zhu Yuanzhang paused, almost going back to fight to the death with this scornful innkeeper.
But in the end, under the persuasion of Queen Ma, she gave up this tempting plan.
"My dear friend in front, please wait a moment."
Before Zhu Yuanzhang and the others had gone far, Boss Zhou, who had stayed at the inn before, hurried out.
Hate the house and the bird.
Zhu Yuanzhang didn't have a good impression of the innkeeper, and the tenants here were also not very pleased with him.
"Is something wrong?" Zhu Yuanzhang said stiffly.
Boss Zhou smiled slightly: "Brother, I just heard Shopkeeper Feng say that he seems to think that the price of his hotel here seems a bit too expensive."
Zhu Yuanzhang had a cold face and a stiff tone: "Why, isn't what we said wrong?"
"Just these shabby wooden houses, if they were placed in Yingtian Mansion, no one would live in them at all, and yet they cost one or two cents of silver?"
"If there wasn't a shop here, we would have thought they were robbing."
The boss was also very good-tempered that week, and he didn't even care much about Zhu Yuanzhang's attitude.
"Brother, I don't know, but it's not always so expensive here."
Zhu Yuanzhang's anger became more and more intense.
He thinks, is there something wrong with Boss Zhou this time? Or is he the one who runs this inn?
Otherwise, could it be that he was so full that he came out to explain to him why the price of this inn was so high?
"What? You don't mean to say that we came at the wrong time? Then I'm really sorry."
Shopkeeper Zhou smiled and shook his head: "I know that brother is angry, but actually if this happened to me, I would probably be unhappy too."
"The biggest reason why the price of this inn is so high is because it is now the terminal station of the train."
"Everyone who takes the train will get off here. And there are no other suitable inns around."
"As the saying goes, things are rare but valuable. Originally, there weren't many people on this road, so the price of the inn will naturally not be that high."
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "But now there are more and more merchants coming and going. It is said that rare things are more expensive, so the price will naturally not be cheaper."
Zhu Yuanzhang frowned. He didn't like the behavior of these businessmen who talked about business but kept silent about money.
Even if he thought that a businessman like Xiao He was actually pretty good, he was far from the greedy and excessive businessman he imagined.
But this still can't change Zhu Yuanzhang's view of the merchant class as a whole.
Zhu Yuanzhang said coldly: "So you went to all the trouble to come here and tell me so much just to teach me a lesson. Chang, you have been taught a lesson."
Boss Zhou felt dumbfounded: "There is no point in stepping down and stepping down again."
"The reason I'm telling you so much is just to tell you. I don't mean to compete for the room you booked. That's how the innkeeper sets the price."
"And because there is no shortage of guests here, the innkeeper Feng doesn't really follow any rules. Everything depends on money."
"Brother, I'm here for the first time, so I may not know much about the situation here. So I want to tell you, walk south from here for about two miles. There are many inns along the way."
"Although the distance is relatively far, the size of those inns is also a bit small. But in terms of price, it should be much cheaper."
"And the farther you go, the cheaper the hotel prices are."
After saying all this, Shopkeeper Zhou bowed deeply to Zhu Yuanzhang and the others, then turned around and returned to the inn.
His approach made Zhu Yuanzhang a little baffled.
He really couldn't understand the way these businessmen behaved.
Do you want to say that this shopkeeper Zhou is an enthusiastic person?
Zhu Yuanzhang didn't believe it at first.
Zhu Hanke said more than once that every businessman in the world is a profitless guy who can't afford to be early.
No matter what they do, they must have only one purpose, and that is to benefit themselves.
It was not until Zhu Yuanzhang and the others found the hotel where they were staying that Zhu Yuanzhang gradually figured it out.
Although he traveled incognito this time, his clothes were not very flashy.
But around him, there were many Jin Yiwei and Ouchi masters.
These people are all selected from the entire Ming Dynasty, and they are the best of the best.
The fierce aura on his body cannot be hidden even if he wants to.
In addition, when the innkeeper threatened to drive them away just now, the guards all protected him.
With this style, you can tell at a glance that this is definitely not an ordinary family.
A businessman like Boss Zhou is the best at judging people.
Although he didn't know the identity of Dean Zhu, he also knew that someone who could take so many guards out here was definitely not an ordinary person.
As a businessman, the most important thing is to be harmonious and make money.
No matter what the reason is, as long as you can avoid quarrels with others, then you should never have quarrels with others.
This is true for everything.
If you want to accomplish something, you don't know how long you have to work on it, how much manpower, material resources and energy you have to invest.
But to break something, maybe just one sentence is enough.
Therefore, even if this matter has nothing to do with Boss Zhou, it is the personal behavior of Shopkeeper Feng.
However, Boss Zhou still came out to establish a good relationship with Zhu Yuanzhang, thus eliminating any possibility of enmity.
"Qiwu is right, these businessmen do have interesting things."
"What's wrong?" Queen Ma came in with a basin and asked Zhu Yuanzhang to wash up.
Seeing Zhu Yuanzhang sitting on the bed and sneering, he couldn't help but asked curiously.
The two of them are married, so they naturally have nothing to hide.
Zhu Yuanzhang told Queen Ma everything that had just happened.
It wasn't until Zhu Yuanzhang explained clearly that Empress Ma suddenly realized and said: "So that's it. No wonder Boss Zhou made a special trip out. These people are really careful."
Zhu Yuanzhang praised him and said: "It is right for him to do this. Once or twice, some people may not care. If he does it three or five times, he may not encounter anyone who cares about it."
"But if they encounter someone with this tendency once, they will probably suffer heavy losses."
"In order to make money, these businessmen have to do everything they can to make money."
As Zhu Yuanzhang spoke, he washed and dried his face vigorously. Some warm sleep dispelled some fatigue and restored Zhu Yuanzhang's energy a lot.
"As Qi Wu said, the country seems to be in trouble without businessmen. However, we must be wary of these people. For money, these people can do anything."
A night of silence.
Although the environment of the inn was not good, Lao Zhu didn't feel any dissatisfaction.
After all, it is a wooden house that can shelter from wind and rain. Isn't this a much better environment than when he was fighting?
When he got up the next day, after a simple wash, Zhu Yuanzhang continued towards Yanjing.
This time, Zhu Yuanzhang was not anxious at all.
Just think of going out with Queen Ma to travel around the mountains and rivers.
As for the disaster in Datong, Zhu Yuanzhang was not worried at all.
His younger brother, King Zhu Han of England, was in Datong Mansion. Lao Zhu always felt that Zhu Han's ability to govern the world was a hundred times better than his.
It is precisely because of this that Lao Zhu has considered passing the throne to Zhu Han more than once.
However, Zhu Han had no interest in the throne at all, so Zhu Yuanzhang had no choice but to give up.
Anyway, with Zhu Han here, Zhu Yuanzhang was not worried at all about the situation in Datong.
As for the reaction of the courtiers... let his eldest son Zhu Biao handle it.
If it were someone else's matter, Zhu Yuanzhang might still be worried that Zhu Biao could not handle it well.
But it concerns King Zhu Han of England, and Lao Zhu is not worried at all.
Zhu Biao respected Zhu Han even more than his father.
Whoever wants to stop Zhu Han, the Lord will never let him go.
Just as Zhu Yuanzhang thought, Zhu Biao was furious this morning.
"That's enough, I don't want to hear this."
"As for the reasons why Datong Prefecture set high grain prices, the King of England has already written a memorial, and it was approved by his father and son."
"Facts have also proved that it is precisely because of the high grain prices in Datong Prefecture that all grain merchants are now working hard to transport grain to Datong."
"According to statistics from the Ministry of Finance, the grain in Datong Prefecture and the grain being transported to Datong Prefecture now exceeds five million dan."
"With so much food available, even if the price is a little higher, there will be no food crisis in Datong Prefecture."
Seeing that those ministers seemed to want to say something else, Zhu Biao waved his hand decisively: "My lords, my father personally approved this matter."
"When you question King Zhu Han of England, aren't you questioning my father?"
After Zhu Biao finished speaking, a series of gasping sounds came from the Jinluan Palace.
Why didn't you see before that His Highness the Crown Prince was so ruthless?
Zhu Han could not be criticized for the problems in Datong, and these ministers began to settle old scores again.
"His Royal Highness, the talent of the King of England naturally makes us admire him very much."
"It's just that sometimes, the more talented you are, the greater the chaos you cause."
"Just like Wang Mang of the Han Dynasty."
"Before he usurped the throne, he was a virtuous minister praised by everyone. Your Highness should also know what the result will be."
"When we were in Yanjing before, those people suddenly shouted long live. There must be some conspiracy in this."
"Otherwise, how could ordinary people who don't understand anything be so uniform?"
