"The boatmen are not only hardworking when sailing, but also have good and bad business. By calling our name, we have solved the problem of passenger flow and cargo volume for the first time."
"The second thing is that we use the name of the two most evil villains in the capital to frighten those gangsters. What we just beat are the gangsters from the former gangsters of this dock. These people used to bully the boatmen. Now that we are here, naturally
Not angry, so we, the two villains in the capital, will naturally beat them until they are subdued. We not only provide passenger flow to the boatmen, but also help them deal with the nuisance of the gangsters. In this way, they only need to sail with peace of mind. "
"There is a third thing, that is, honest boatmen still need to worry about the harassment from evil officials along the way. But now that we have us, whenever someone disturbs us, let our people come forward. We are large in size.
, with sufficient strength, and with the support of the young master of Duke Cheng and the orphan of Duke Rong, who would dare to target the ships under his banner?"
"Shibo, you see, although those boatmen have to hand over part of their profits when they call, they have gained safety and a source of customers. When sailing here, they no longer have to be cautious or worried about their fate. If it were you, would you be willing to do so?
Don’t want to? To tell you the truth, our daily profit in the past few days has reached a net profit of five hundred taels..."
"What..." Zhu Neng grabbed Zhang Anshi's hand.
The next moment, he carefully held Zhang Anshi's hand in his own, and said kindly and kindly: "My dear nephew, there are so many of them. Doesn't this mean that there is a net profit of fifteen thousand taels in a month?"
Rich in wealth, so much in one month? In the early Ming Dynasty, this was definitely an astronomical sum.
Zhu Neng's eyes began to sparkle, and he asked again: "Good nephews, are there really so many?"
Zhang Anshi coughed and said: "Shibo... I'm talking about now. Now our business has expanded greatly. Every day, seven or eight boatmen bring boats to join us. In the future, we plan to continue to buy boats and expand our business."
In Zhenjiang and Nantong Prefecture, our business in the future may be ten times or even a hundred times larger than today."
"Hey." Zhu Neng was so excited that he held Zhang Anshi's hand, almost crying: "It's incredible, it's incredible."
Zhang Anshi smiled awkwardly and pulled his hand back: "Shibo, please respect yourself."
Zhu Neng felt that he was going to faint from excitement. He murmured: "One or five taels a month, two hundred thousand a year, two million in ten years...a hundred years..."
"Shibo, Shibo..."
Zhu Neng didn't respond. He was still in place without saying a word. The next moment, he hugged Zhang Anshi tightly in his arms and grinned: "Haha, nephew, no wonder everyone else was outside back then."
When I was scolding you, I always told people, Zhang Anshi is the prince's brother-in-law, how can he be a bad person? I think my nephew, you have been smart since you were a child, and you will definitely have a great future. You see, I am right.
, My dear nephew, my love for you has not been in vain."
Zhu Yong couldn't help but said: "Dad, you didn't say that before..."
"Shut up." Zhu Neng glared at him and cursed, "Just be smarter. Why did I give birth to a son like you?"
Zhu Neng then looked at Zhang Anshi happily: "Then... how much can we share with the Chengguo Palace?"
Zhang Anshi said: "When I first contributed the capital, one of my brothers contributed the most. However, he contributed a lot of money but did not contribute much, so only 50% of his shares were counted. The others were our three brothers, so we did not care about these.
Of the remaining 50%, I will get 20%, and Zhu Yong and the third brother will each get 1.5%."
When Zhu Neng heard this, he became a little anxious. He pointed at Zhu Yong, who had a bruised nose and a swollen face like a pig's head, and said, "Xiannephew, you can't say that. You see, although he is not smart, he still has to work hard. He even sacrificed his bones for this business."
If someone gets a discount, why don't you give him a little more, even half a percent?"
Zhang Anshi gave Zhu Neng a deep look: "Shibo, you can't say this. Even if his bones are not discounted here, won't they still be discounted to Shibo when he gets home? They will be discounted everywhere. How can this happen?
Is it easy to calculate money?"
"..."
Zhu Neng fell into a brief silence.
Then he actually felt that it made sense. Why was it wrong?
Forget it, be generous!
So Zhu Neng said happily again: "Oh, it's the same, it's the same. Let's go and see the boat. Let's see the boat."
He still kept an eye on it and only felt relieved after seeing it in person.
Sure enough, at this ferry, there were many boats flying back and forth with black flags. Zhu Neng was very excited. He touched Zhu Neng's head and taught him a lesson: "This is not how fighting is fought. Dad will teach you a trick to ensure that you are victorious in every battle."
"
Zhu Yong said: "Dad is willing to teach me the art of war. What's the trick?"
Zhu Neng said seriously: "There are many people, but there are few who bully them."
Zhu Yong: "..."
Zhu Neng explained patiently: "The art of war is to gather elite troops and attack weak areas. The essence of this is to attack where there are more people and where there are fewer people. When their defense line collapses, the entire army will also collapse."
Ah, don't listen to the bullshit in the play. You must not be reckless about this kind of thing. Tomorrow I will send you seven or eight old soldiers who have followed me through life and death, and teach them to follow you. I want to see this Nanjing.
At the ferry crossings in various parts of the city, who dares not to open his eyes and dare to bully my dearest relative and beloved nephew Zhang Xian?"
Zhang Anshi changed the subject and said, "Shibo just said that he came here on orders?"
"This... this... yes, His Majesty has already had a prejudice against you, so he ordered me to come and check it out."
Zhang Anshi became serious: "Please Shibo, please try your best to speak kindly for me."
"This..." Zhu Neng thought for a while, looked around cautiously, then dragged Zhang Anshi to a corner and whispered: "You're just saying nice things, you can't talk about this..."
"can not say?"
Zhu Neng said furtively: "Think about it, this is a good business for Ri Jin and Jin Doudou. What if His Majesty finds out about it and interferes with it? My life is already very difficult, and now I have it.
A little hope..."
When Zhu Neng said this, he almost shed tears of poverty.
Zhang Anshi suddenly felt that the reckless Duke in front of him was not simple, but he had a lot of thoughts. Zhang Anshi said: "Shibo has been through life and death for His Majesty, why..."
"This is different." Zhu Neng said sternly: "I was born and died because of the emperor's salary and loyalty to the emperor. After eating the emperor's food, can I still retreat in the face of battle?"
Zhu Neng paused for a moment: "I can give my life to His Majesty, but I can't give him our money. How can there be any reason to give money to him even if I give up my life? Do you think I'm stupid?"
Zhang Anshi's eyes were shocked, and then he said: "My nephew has learned the lesson, but... how will Shibo respond then?"
"Don't worry about this. I'll take care of it, so you won't suffer any disadvantages. Oh... who makes you my dearest nephew?"
Zhang Anshi had goosebumps and felt like he was picking up soap in prison.
Fortunately, Zhu Neng didn't stay too long and left with satisfaction.
After escaping a disaster, Zhang Anshi felt like he was surviving the disaster.
But now with Zhu Neng's support, things will be easier to handle. The two villains in the capital are really going to run amok in the capital.
