Two days later, early in the morning.
The tea house business continues to be booming, and Zhu Ying also makes a lot of money.
"My boss, business in the capital is so good. The money comes really fast."
Uncle Zhang said excitedly, holding Mr. Accountant's account book.
Zhu Ying just looked through it slightly and put it next to him.
Although Uncle Zhang has been following him, after all, he just lives a life of fighting and killing in the grassland and has not seen much of your money.
The Savage Jurchen is obviously weak in arithmetic.
For Zhu Ying, the money in the teahouse was really just a drop in the bucket.
Not to mention the countries in the Western Regions, the snowflake salt is sold overseas.
But the profit from the tea horse pouring is enough to be a hundred times the profit of the tea house.
It's just that Zhu Ying never allowed the many forces under his command to intersect.
Zhang Bo's department is mainly responsible for the business on the grassland.
Even for Xue Hua Yan, they only serve as escorts and don't know much about the benefits.
Most of the business on the grassland is based on bartering, and I have too little knowledge about silver.
"How is the network in the capital doing?" Zhu Ying seemed to ask casually.
Uncle Zhang felt a little embarrassed when he heard this. In the short time, he and the guards who came with him were all intoxicated with the joy of money.
Regarding what Zhu Ying explained earlier, it was obvious that he was not that hardworking.
"My boss, it's really difficult to get through the relationship with the capital. Our people can't penetrate at all and are running into obstacles everywhere." Uncle Zhang said helplessly.
This is also the biggest factor.
Zhu Ying nodded, this situation was basically what he expected.
The current Ming Dynasty, especially the Ming Dynasty in the 25th year of Hongwu, is really too stable.
Outside Nanzhili, he could still make some waves, but when he got to the capital, it was too difficult.
The officials here are really clear-minded.
On the streets of the capital, it is impossible to see anything like robbing civilian girls or officials bullying the people.
Even if someone loses chickens and ducks, the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division will work hard to help find them.
As for thieves and thieves, I have really never heard of them during the time Zhu Ying has been here.
Since the Ming Dynasty policy was implemented, those who were able to settle in Nanjing basically had good family conditions.
Not to mention that everyone is knowledgeable, but there are quite a few people who are literate.
Moreover, the understanding of the Ming Law is still very thorough in the entire capital.
Living in the current city of Nanjing gave Zhu Ying an illusion of a sense of security that would come later in life.
Of course, he knew that such a situation occurred under Zhu Yuanzhang's strong pressure.
"It's a pity that we can't stay in this capital for too long." Zhu Ying said with some sigh.
"Master, why is this? I feel that Nanjing is a very nice city. We are doing a serious business and it is so popular. Why do we leave?"
Uncle Zhang asked with some confusion. In his opinion, life here is many times better than on the grassland.
Zhu Ying frowned slightly, glanced at Uncle Zhang and said, "If you like your place, stay in the capital in the future."
Upon hearing this, Uncle Zhang looked horrified, knelt down on one knee and said: "I will defend my employer to the death."
Or maybe it feels like it’s not formal enough.
Uncle Zhang knelt on his knees, placed his palms on the ground and pointed upwards, his forehead touching the ground and said: "I once swore an oath in front of my ancestors, witnessed by the shaman, to follow my master forever."
"Get up, I don't doubt your loyalty. Also, this is the Ming Dynasty, don't do anything like your Jurchen tribe."
Seeing this, Zhu Ying said calmly.
An aura of superiority arose spontaneously. At this moment, Zhu Ying was the overlord of the grassland and the master of the Western Region.
Rather than a low-status merchant in the Ming Dynasty.
"Thank you, Master." Uncle Zhang slowly stood up after his forehead touched the ground again.
"Let's check how long it will take for our caravan to reach the capital."
"Yes, boss."
Uncle Zhang had no more nonsense at this moment and took the order to leave.
After Uncle Zhang left, Zhu Ying was alone on the second floor, meditating.
Although half of the second floor is designed as private rooms, it is not actually open to the public.
This is what Zhu Ying will prepare for some private arrangements or individual receptions in the future.
Even if you enter the lobby on the first floor, you can't see where the stairs are without looking carefully.
"What exactly does Zhu Di want to do?"
At this moment, Zhu Ying, thinking of her last meeting with Zhu Di two days ago, always felt like there was a conspiracy.
Not to mention the current Ming Dynasty, even in future generations, there has always been only hatred without reason, and there is no love without reason.
Zhu Ying had made too many assumptions about Zhu Di's behavior, but could not detect its true purpose.
Especially in the past two days, Zhu Ying has discovered that the people who were watching him near the teahouse have completely evacuated.
From the day the teahouse opened, Zhu Ying noticed that someone was watching her.
After working hard for many years and starting from scratch, Zhu Ying is still wary of this.
It is not difficult to guess that he is Zhu Di's subordinate.
Just after meeting two days ago, those people all disappeared.
It was like Zhu Di suddenly let go.
Zhu Ying had no intention of intervening in the subsequent battle between Zhu Di and Zhu Yunwen.
Zhu Ying had never considered helping Zhu Yunwen.
Mainly because he didn't like Zhu Yunwen's character very much.
Secondly, Zhu Yunwen's identity would not allow him to truly trust a businessman.
If there is a rebellion, there is currently no soil for rebellion in the Ming Dynasty.
Founding a country overseas was the best choice for Zhu Ying.
At present, Zhu Ying's power is mainly in the deserts, grasslands, and in the gaps between the countries in the Western Regions.
But in fact, Zhu Ying's main target is Annan.
Whether considering the location or all aspects, Annan is an excellent choice.
Annan is located at the junction of the Indochina Peninsula and its geographical location is extremely important.
It can control the countries of Champa, Siam, and Chenla in the near distance, and it can control the countries of Sumatra, Old Port, Guawa, Ningni and other countries near the peninsula in far distance.
It is of great significance to Zhu Ying's great navigation plan.
But in this way, after Zhu Di was in trouble, Zheng He would inevitably have to confront him when he went to the West.
Is Zhu Ying just afraid?
First of all, leaving aside Zhu Di, the focus is on the Oara tribe on the grassland.
Now in the twenty-fifth year of Hongwu, after Zhu Di's success in the Jin Dynasty, in the fourth year of Yongle, Zhang Fu was arranged to lead his army deep into Annan for a great victory.
There are still fourteen years left.
If Zhu Ying still cannot develop in fourteen years, then he will be killed by a piece of tofu to avoid losing face to future generations.
However, due to the influence of many factors, Annan has not intervened at present, but only arranged to collect intelligence secretly.
Although the current Annan-Chen Dynasty was in the first year of Jianwen, Hu Jiya deposed the young emperor and established himself as king, establishing the Hu Dynasty.
But the current Annan regime is already in chaos.
The original plan was for Zhu Ying to leave Peiping and head to Annan.
I just didn't expect to be dragged to the capital by Zhu Di.
Of course, the key to impressing Zhu Ying was Zhu Gaochi's matter about firearms.
Just when Zhu Ying was thinking about how to stimulate Zhu Gaochi to get the warrant as soon as possible and go to the War Bureau or even the Gunpowder Department.
The housekeeper downstairs came up and reported: "My boss, the old man from a few days ago is here again today."
Zhu Ying was speechless.
When he left last time, Zhu Ying told the old man that he could come and sit here often.
only,
I was just saying polite words, why did he take it seriously?
