The engagement matter has finally come to an end.
Li Xiao's heart felt as if a stone had fallen to the ground. He had done well, and he had saved his face.
The matter between himself and Ningyun is already settled!
During this period, Li Xiao handed over all the mistakes made in the salt field to his father-in-law, and after handing in the formula together with it, he felt at ease.
Hanging out with Zhu Ningyun all day long.
Admiring the flowers and the moon, composing poems, how happy it is!
Zhu Di got the salt mountain and quickly organized people to expand the scale of the salt mountain. Snowflakes and white salt really fell like snowflakes and were produced.
After Peiping opened up to China and France, merchants transporting grain from all over the country came to Peiping in droves.
There is no other reason than coming here for the snowflakes and white salt.
The quality is excellent, the price is reasonable, and the profit is astonishing!
Take it back and sell it to a wealthy businessman. Not to mention raising the price, the supply exceeds demand.
For a time, snowflake white salt became a hot commodity among the Jiangnan generation, and the price skyrocketed.
Jiangnan is a land of prosperity, where wealthy businessmen gather and comparisons are common.
Now that this kind of salt is available, if it is not available in any store, it is not on the market. The grade is too low. A pound of salt can be sold for an exaggerated price of twenty taels of silver at most.
As a result, more and more businessmen have become aware of the benefits, and more and more grain has been shipped to Peiping.
It completely exceeded Zhu Di's budget, and he immediately ordered the temporary establishment of multiple granaries before storing the incoming grain.
The entire granary in Peiping is about to burst! !
Such news naturally reached the ears of the current prince Zhu Biao.
Seeing that all the country's grain is being transported to Peiping, it's too big to lose. It can't go on like this.
If we continue like this, we may not be able to collect the salt tax next year.
Fortunately, most of the good salt in Peiping was sold to wealthy businessmen and had nothing to do with the people.
But we can't let this develop. All the grain has been shipped to Beiping, and other places have to use Kaizhong to raise grain. I'm afraid they won't be able to raise even a grain of rice.
After Zhu Biao and Zhu Yuanzhang discussed it, they immediately stopped Peking's policy of opening up China on its own.
Ying Tianfu.
Imperial Palace, Yangxin Palace.
In the grand hall, there was an old man in casual clothes, holding a book and teaching a young man questions and answers.
The old man's name is Zhu Yuanzhang, and he is the current emperor!
The Hongwu Emperor who started his career with a bowl and conquered the world.
Time is a ruthless butcher's knife. Even a generation of heroes like Zhu Yuanzhang should have come to an end in his later years.
At this time, his old face was covered with wrinkles and his hair was gray.
After the death of Queen Ma in the fifteenth year of Hongwu, Zhu Yuanzhang's head turned white overnight, and he killed many people in a rage.
The old brothers from back then are almost no longer around now.
As people age, they gradually begin to let go and lament the past.
From then on, Zhu Yuanzhang handed over almost all affairs to Prince Zhu Biao, the next generation heir to the Ming Dynasty whom he carefully cultivated.
And he also enjoyed his leisure time, playing with birds and teaching his grandson all day long in this Nourishing Heart Hall.
The young man he is teaching now is named Zhu Yunwen, and he is the eldest son of Zhu Biao.
Zhu Biao had two concubines, Chang Yuchun's eldest daughter Chang and Lu Ben's daughter who participated in politics in the Yuan Dynasty.
Chang died while giving birth to Zhu Yunxi, and Zhu Biao rehabilitated Zhu Yunxi's mother, Lu, and made her the crown princess. Lu became the master of the East Palace.
As a result, Zhu Yunwen became a direct descendant.
In the tenth year of Hongwu's reign, Zhu Biao began to help Zhu Yuanzhang manage the government affairs, which greatly satisfied Zhu Yuanzhang.
Zhu Yuanzhang was born as a farmer, and he had the mentality of an old farmer. He had the deepest affection for his first son, Zhu Biao, and no one could compare with him.
Lao Zhu issued an edict saying: If I have anything to do outside, the prince will supervise the country.
And Zhu Biao did not disappoint Zhu Yuanzhang.
Outside, he managed the affairs of the government in an orderly manner. The prince was friendly, benevolent, and had nothing to say in any aspect.
Even though all the civil and military officials in the imperial court were all princelings, Zhu Yuanzhang was not defensive at all and trusted him very much.
Inside, the brothers are respectful, all the younger brothers obey Zhu Biao and listen to Zhu Biao's words.
Zhu Yuanzhang was very proud to have raised such a son.
He is very confident in his ability to cultivate successors to the empire.
For the long-term stability of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang planned to help Biao'er continue to cultivate a wise king for the next generation in his later years.
The person in front of Zhu Yuanzhang was Zhu Yunwen.
At this time, Zhu Yunwen recited an article to Zhu Yuanzhang respectfully.
After Zhu Yuanzhang listened, he nodded with a smile: "Yunwen, this book is good to read, but you can't just read it, you must use it in practice, and you can't just follow the book. You have to be flexible. You have to be flexible. Learn more from your father."
Zhu Yuanzhang was born in the grassroots, loved reading, and knew the importance of reading. During the rebellion, Liu Bowen was his professional lecturer, and he often listened to books in his spare time.
"Imperial grandfather, my grandson knows that he must study hard and work hard." Zhu Yunwen was indeed very lovable. According to what Zhu Yuanzhang liked to hear, he said, "My grandson must learn more from his father."
At this time, when Zhu Yuanzhang moved, Zhu Yunwen knew that he was about to scratch his itch, so he quickly helped to get Yu Ruyi and scratch Zhu Yuanzhang's itch.
"I'm coming, Grandfather."
"Yeah, yeah. A little left, a little left, a little further."
Zhu Yuanzhang enjoyed it very much and allowed Zhu Yunwen to tickle him.
But the itch got worse and worse as I scratched one side, and the other side started to itch again.
Once he grasps the correct position, Zhu Yuanzhang will feel refreshed.
But immediately, another place becomes extremely itchy.
This scratching lasted for a long time. Zhu Yunwen's forehead was dripping with sweat and he did not dare to say he was tired.
At this time, Zhu Biao came to see him and walked into the Yangxin Hall.
"My child has met his father."
Zhu Biao cupped his hands, but his expression didn't look good. He was obviously tired from working too much.
"Biao'er, you're here."
Zhu Yuanzhang raised his eyelids and said: "Is it stopped over in Beiping?"
"Ahem."
Zhu Biao coughed twice, then cupped his hands and said, "Back to my father, the fourth brother's military ration gap has been filled, and the boy has ordered him to stop shooting."
"Ah That's good."
Zhu Yuanzhang nodded: "Yesterday, we tasted the snowflake white salt. This salt is good, not bitter at all. I heard that it was made by Zhu Di's new son-in-law. What is it called Li? ? "
Zhu Biao reminded: "Li Xiao."
"Ah yes, Li Xiao."
Zhu Yuanzhang had a bad memory when he was old.
He had obviously read it in the memorial not long ago, but had forgotten it in the blink of an eye.
He straightened up and signaled to Zhu Yunqi not to scratch him, then looked at Zhu Biao and said, "Our fourth son has found a good son-in-law, and he is actually so capable."
After saying that, Zhu Yuanzhang grabbed his hand and said with a smile: "Biao'er, you must have asked Lao Si about this, right? How about it, have you handed over the salt production method?"
Hearing this, Zhu Biao looked bitter and said: "Father, last time you neglected the fourth child for so many days, how could the child have the nerve to speak."
Zhu Yuanzhang had a straight face and blew his beard and said: "What's wrong with saying this? This is a great thing that will benefit the Ming Dynasty! If people all over the world can eat such good salt, everyone will praise our Ming Dynasty. Such white salt , just sit down and raise the price, the rich can afford it, but the common people cannot afford it. How can we let those rich businessmen enjoy it exclusively?"
