When Zhu Di heard this, he took a deep breath: "The so-called four people, are you two, plus Zhang Anshi and Qiu Song?" "No, Qiu Song is not, he joined the gang halfway."
"Who is the other person?"
"I don't know."
Zhu Di's eyes suddenly opened: "Zhang Anshi didn't say anything?"
"He said that there was a man, his eldest brother. He said that this man was very powerful. He took everything seriously, had a weird temperament, and... had a dirty mouth..."
"What else?" Zhu Di's breathing became heavier and heavier. Could this... be me?
"What else?" Zhu Yong thought, frowning for a moment, as if he was trying hard to remember something.
Zhu Yong thought for a while and finally said: "He said that guy has a special liking for eating shit."
Zhu Di trembled and raised his eyebrows: "Damn it, he started spreading rumors and causing trouble again!"
Zhu Yong was startled and curled up hurriedly.
Zhu Di took a deep breath. He felt that it was very ungraceful for him to scold his mother, not to mention... the one he scolded was a young man.
"How much of the benefit of this deal did that man... take?"
Zhu Yong said: "Half. I also find it difficult to understand, but brother... no, Zhang Anshi said that being entrusted by others is a matter of loyalty."
Zhu Di opened his eyes slightly, looked at him with bright eyes and said, "Is it the business on the dock?"
In an instant, Zhu Di realized that he had wrongly blamed Marquis Wu An, and that Marquis Wu An had truly suffered the greatest injustice of all time.
He suddenly remembered that Zhang Anshi had asked him his name. In order to deal with Zhang Anshi, he casually read out the name of Marquis Wu An.
At that time, Zhu Di was just perfunctory on a whim, and didn't take it seriously. He had already forgotten about it.
But now he knew that Marquis Wu'an was actually him.
"yes."
Zhu Di's eyes widened and he began to breathe heavily: "Doesn't this mean... Doesn't it mean that... that business with a net profit of 30,000 taels of silver a month... is nearly 400,000 taels of silver a year. If half of it is taken, it will be...
Two hundred thousand taels of real gold and silver?"
This is definitely a very shocking number.
The Ming Dynasty was founded on agriculture, and the main tax was land tax and grain tax.
But real gold and silver... In fact, the annual income is very low, which is why both Taizu Emperor Gao and Zhu Di chose to constantly print Ming Dynasty treasure banknotes to solve the problem.
So although the annual income of 200,000 taels of silver is not a large proportion in the national treasury, what if it is internal funds?
The treasury is the country's income, and it is difficult for the emperor to embezzle it, but the internal funds are the royal income, and Zhu Di can use it!
If this money were used as internal funds, it would definitely be an astronomical sum.
Zhu Yong thought for a while and said: "Thirty thousand taels? This...I am only responsible for beating people, and I don't know anything about business. My father..."
"Your father also knows?" Zhu Di was stunned, but soon he remembered something: "Your father came to see me back then and said that Zhang Anshi... By the way, no wonder your father has not heard from you since then, this old fox!
"
"Ah...this..." Zhu Yong opened his mouth wide and was speechless for a long time.
But now, Zhu Di didn't care about this. He stood up and pressed forward step by step: "You continue to talk."
"I don't know. I can only ask my eldest brother. He knows everything about astronomy and geography."
Zhu Di calmed down a little, glanced at Zhu Yong with a look of disgust, and said with a tiger face: "You three, do you know your guilt?"
Zhu Yong and Zhang Fu said hurriedly: "I'm guilty."
Qiu Song tilted his head and thought for a moment, then sniffed and said, "Confess your guilt!"
Zhu Di said: "Then let's reflect on it for a few more days, hum!"
After saying that, he put his hands behind his back and walked away quickly.
After leaving the prison of the Ministry of Punishment, Yi Shiha and dozens of guards and wardens were waiting here. As soon as they saw Zhu Di, they had to salute him.
Zhu Di said: "No need to do this, prepare your horse."
Yishiha stepped forward and said softly: "Your Majesty... this is..."
Zhu Di said: "Go to the pier, which is the pier of Confucius Temple."
"Your Majesty." Yi Shiha was quite worried: "It's getting late."
Zhu Di waited for the guard to get the horse, got on it with familiarity, and straddled the tall horse. He looked down at Yi Shiha: "I have to go no matter how late it is."
After that, he took the lead and rode away.
Yi Shiha did not dare to neglect, so he and other attendants mounted their horses and headed towards the Confucius Temple.
………………
Here at Confucius Temple Pier.
At this time, there are still a lot of people walking around, there are merchants coming and going, there are people carrying goods, there are subordinates maintaining order, and occasionally there are a few children crying.
Occasionally, there were monks and Taoists passing by, or scholars on their way. The monks and Taoists often had gentle faces and were not surprised by favors and insults, while the scholars wearing turbans and Confucian shirts were mostly full of ambition.
Of course, more of them are ordinary people who are either barefoot or wearing cloth shoes. They are walking in a hurry and looking nervous.
Next to the Confucius Temple Pier is a two-story building.
This place has been leased by Zhang Anshi and has a plaque with the name "Brothers Shipbuilding".
Zhang Anshi is the most loyal person. He always talks about his brothers and keeps them in his heart. Even this sign is named after his brothers.
This is to allow myself to always inherit the legacy of the three brothers, no, inherit their spirit, and live well.
At this time, the brothers' shipbuilding industry was abuzz with people.
All the men took dustpans and baskets and collected all the piles of copper coins and broken silver. Then seven or eight accounting rooms began to settle the accounts, and then put the coins into the treasury.
The most inconvenient thing in ancient times was the currency issue.
Of course, there are not without convenient currencies, such as treasure notes, but... no one dares to care about them.
Therefore, the warehousing, accounting and expenditure of money were Zhang Anshi's biggest headaches.
Zhang Anshi has been here for a full day. At this time, the sun is setting and the sunset is like fire, burning half of the sky red. However, Zhang Anshi still dare not leave because he is worried that the money will not be fully settled and put into the treasury.
This is all the profits made in the past month. How would you make it if you don’t keep an eye on it?
He lamented in his heart, if his brothers were here, the three villains would just stand here with cold expressions. Which accountant and clerk would dare to hide money secretly?
It just so happened that the brothers had served their time in prison, and now I was the only one here to keep an eye on them.
One by one, copper coins were sprung up on a straw rope, one thousand coins in a row.
All broken silver is put on the scale and the quantity is recorded.
After that, the silver will be re-smelted into ingots and then sealed.
Many of the accountants hired by Zhu Jin were found with help. There was no choice but to deal with the sudden large-scale settlement. Zhang Anshi lacked experience in this area, so he had to entrust Zhu Jin.
Anyway, when Zhu Jin saw him now, he was like a mouse seeing a cat. He made money from him and felt that he could not sleep at night. Zhang Anshi felt relieved about this person.
He sat on a chair and pretended to drink tea, but in fact he was carefully observing everyone here to prevent anyone from hiding money secretly.
At this moment, the sound of rapid horse hooves came from outside.
Da da da……
Da da da……
The sound of horse hooves stopped.
Immediately, someone fell off his horse, followed by rapid footsteps.
After a while, a person appeared at the gate like a small mountain!
Who is it if it’s not Zhu Di?
Zhu Di entered the small building looking forward to it.
When Zhang Anshi saw it, his legs began to feel weak again.
I don’t know where the problem came from, but now my legs feel weak when I see Zhu Di.
"I've seen... I've seen..."
Zhu Di squinted his eyes, looked at Zhang Anshi, and immediately said: "Have you met this prince?"
Zhang Anshi suddenly realized it and immediately said with a smile: "Marquis Wu An?"
Zhu Di nodded.
The words "Marquis Wu'an" still made the waiters and cashiers in the building raise their heads in surprise and glance over secretly.
These people were from all walks of life. Of course they knew that the owner of Brother Shipbuilding was definitely not a simple person, but they never expected that he was actually a marquis.
In the minds of many people, this is an existence that is too high and too high for them to reach in their lifetime.
Zhang Anshi immediately became attentive and started to circle around Zhu Di: "Come, Mr. Hou... you have tea. Oh, Mr. Hou, your body... is really strong. As I sit here, I am still thinking about why my eyes are old.
It's a jump, maybe I want to meet a noble person? In a blink of an eye... you're here."
Zhu Di: "..."
Thinking that Zhang Anshi was arrogant not long ago, scolding himself at every turn, and looking pitiful in the blink of an eye, Zhu Di took a deep breath and said, "Half of this is my business?"
Zhang Anshi was sincere about this, and said without any hesitation: "Yes, didn't we agree at the beginning? You gave me money, and then I said we would do business together. It was in the deed, and I also asked for a bailiff.
People, signed and stamped."
Zhu Di's face turned red, he rubbed his hands excitedly and said, "I didn't expect you to have such loyalty. You are very similar to me in this aspect."
"Of course." Zhang Anshi winked and said, "How else could we be... relatives?"
Zhu Di looked around and couldn't help but said: "What are you doing?"
Zhang Anshi said: "Check out."
"Bill, please?"
"Isn't it just that this business has been going on for more than a month? The account needs to be settled at the end of the month."
Immediately, Zhu Di's eyes fell on the piles of gold, silver and copper coins: "This...is..."
"Yes." Zhang Anshi said firmly.
This is the emperor, damn it. I didn’t expect to make a lot of money this time. I actually made a deal with the emperor.
At the beginning, Zhang Anshi insisted on letting this "Wu'anhou" be the major shareholder. The reason was actually very simple. He knew that doing business with relatives of the emperor was taboo in this era. Even if it was not taboo, it would be looked down upon by others.
But it's different when there's a brother blocking the way.
What's more, he is not the uncle of the state yet...
In the Yongle Dynasty, the most popular people were those honorable ministers who came from Beiping Prefecture. With these people protecting him, it seemed that he was making less money, but in fact... there were many opportunities to make money.
What Zhang Anshi considers is not the issue of how much money he can make, but the issue of safety.
But now...the major shareholder has become Emperor Yongle.
Zhu Di was obviously extremely excited.
Even Zhu Di saw this pile of gold, silver and copper coins for the first time.
