Zhu Yuanzhang did not pay much attention to Zhu Zhen's arrival.
Now in the palace, the only one who can enter and leave his palace at will is Zhu Zhen, except Prince Zhu Biao.
Even in a certain aspect, Zhu Zhen is more casual than Prince Zhu Biao.
After all, he is not a prince, so even if he does something bold, no one will say anything about him.
Therefore, as soon as Zhu Zhen entered the palace, he spoke carelessly.
"Lao Zhu, I brought you some good things, do you want to take a look??"
"What? What did you call us??"
"Lao Zhu!!"
"You traitor!!"
Zhu Yuanzhang was obviously very dissatisfied with Zhu Zhen's attitude. His son actually called him Lao Zhu, which Zhu Yuanzhang could not accept.
The next moment, he took off his shoes directly, preparing to show his kindness to his father and his son.
It was also at this time that Zhu Zhen spoke quickly.
"Wait a minute, Father, wait a minute!!"
"Wait a minute, I never have to wait to hit my son!!"
"Father, I really brought you something good, this is really something good!!"
After Zhu Zhen finished speaking, he quickly took out a small cloth bag and threw the small cloth bag directly on Zhu Yuanzhang.
Seeing this little cloth bag flying over, Zhu Yuanzhang subconsciously caught it.
After catching it, he did stop in his tracks.
He was still full of curiosity about the good things Zhu Zhen said.
Therefore, he wanted to see what good things Zhu Zhen said before he decided whether to continue beating Zhu Zhen.
And when he opened the small cloth bag, his face turned dark.
The small cloth bag Zhu Zhen threw to him was nothing special at all, just salt.
Although this kind of table salt is very white and very delicate, it is a treasure among table salts.
However, as an emperor, Lao Zhu could still eat such salt.
This kind of salt is not a treasure at all for Lao Zhu, let alone a good thing.
Therefore, when he saw Zhu Zhen still laughing, Zhu Yuanzhang subconsciously felt that Zhu Zhen was teasing him.
He couldn't stand such teasing.
"Is this the good thing you said??"
"If this is the good thing you said, then I promise to teach you today what it means to respect the elderly and love the young!!"
After saying that, Zhu Yuanzhang's shoes appeared in his hands again.
At this moment, Zhu Yuanzhang had obviously decided to beat Zhu Zhen. Maybe the next moment, he would rush in front of Zhu Zhen and beat him up.
This also made Zhu Zhen speak quickly.
"Father, I know you are in a hurry, but please don't be in a hurry!!"
"The reason why I say this is good stuff is because the sacks I brought are full of salt like this!!"
"Huh? A sack full of salt like this? This...can indeed be considered a good thing! Where did you get so much fine salt?"
Although Lao Zhu could eat these fine salts, he didn't get much.
Even what he saw was only a small box.
Lao Zhu had never seen such a sack of fine salt.
First, productivity is limited. To produce so many surprising salts must consume a lot of manpower and material resources.
Secondly, Lao Zhu is relatively frugal and he is not willing to spend too much money on these precious things.
Therefore, Zhu Yuanzhang was still full of curiosity about Zhu Zhen's sack of fine salt.
If the salt in this sack was as fine as what Zhu Yuanzhang had seen before, then the salt in this sack would be worth hundreds of thousands of taels.
This is no small sum of money.
Thinking of this, Zhu Yuanzhang moved the sack of salt behind him.
Regarding Zhu Yuanzhang's behavior, Zhu Zhen's mouth twitched.
He could see Zhu Yuanzhang's peek at the bag of salt.
Unfortunately, after a few days, this bag of salt will no longer be so valuable.
"Father, I actually made these salts myself!!"
"Made? How much did you spend to make it??"
“It didn’t cost much!”
"Such a bag of fine salt must have taken a lot of coarse salt to finely polish. Do you think it cost 30...500,000 taels of silver??"
If you want to grind so much fine salt, you will definitely need to consume a larger amount of coarse salt.
Even the consumption has increased exponentially.
Otherwise, these fine salts would have become widespread among the Ming Dynasty’s powerful people.
When Zhu Yuanzhang saw this sack of salt, he would not feel it was very precious.
However, the value of this bag of salt was not as expensive as Zhu Yuanzhang imagined.
After Zhu Yuanzhang asked how much this bag of salt cost, Zhu Zhen couldn't help but smile.
"This bag of salt cost me two hundred coins!!"
"Two million...two hundred cents? You only spent two hundred cents on this bag of salt? Tell us who you snatched this bag of salt from!!"
The price of two hundred coins was far beyond Zhu Yuanzhang's expectations.
He didn't believe that someone could spend two hundred coins to make such a large sack of fine salt.
Therefore, his first reaction was that Zhu Zhen had snatched the salt.
With Zhu Zhen's character, it is very reasonable for him to steal other people's salt.
After all, he even dared to pluck Zhu Yuanzhang's vegetables, and even dared to slap Zhu Yuanzhang's butt. It was a piece of cake for him to grab some salt.
This also made Zhu Yuanzhang wonder if he was too arrogant towards Zhu Zhen.
Once Zhu Zhen is raised crooked, the trouble will be big.
Thinking of this, Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help but say:
"We don't care who you rob, just send it back to us quickly and apologize to others!!"
"Then just stay in the palace and you can't go there!!"
As soon as Zhu Yuanzhang said these words, Zhu Zhen immediately understood what Zhu Yuanzhang was thinking.
This made him roll his eyes.
"Father, as I just said, I made these salts myself!!"
“It’s about making, not robbing others!!”
"It's just that my production cost is very low. I only need two hundred pennies to make such a sack of salt!!"
"Stop lying to us. Two hundred cents can't even buy a sack of coarse salt, let alone a sack of refined salt! You, you better tell the truth, we don't blame you!!"
"I knew that my father didn't believe it, so I had prepared it before. I will make it myself and show it to you, and you will know!!"
"Make it yourself and show it to us? Are you serious??"
"Father, let's go and see my big treasure that makes you rich!!"
After speaking, Zhu Zhen walked directly outside the palace.
Zhu Yuanzhang didn't look like Zhu Zhen was joking, so he quickly followed him.
