Maybe this place is too small, which makes the Mongolian ministers indifferent to Fengyang.
The Great Yuan territory is too vast. Fengyang is a place that cannot be seen on the Dayuan map.
Zhu Chongba was thinking about selling salt at the moment. That gold ingot was exchanged for seventeen silver ingots. This time, he planned to use five silver ingots as capital for his elder brother to sell salt.
Because Zhu Chongba has gained the care of the housekeeper, he still has relatively free time now. Others will do the work on the cattle farm.
He returned to his home again. Unexpectedly, his home was as lively as the Chinese New Year.
Many people helped at their home. Zhu Chongba was very shocked. Where did these people come from?
"Chongba, are you back? Come and meet your brothers and sisters! You haven't seen each other for a long time." His father said.
Zhu Chongba was not very impressed by his brothers and sisters. When he saw them, there were seven young men and two big girls. Among them are his eldest brother, second brother and sister.
Before he could speak, a man and a woman walked out from the middle and went straight to Zhu Chongba.
"Chongba, I am your third brother, and she is your eldest sister. I went to visit relatives a few days ago. I heard from dad that you are suddenly very powerful. You are such a good brother." His third brother said.
Seeing so many brothers and sisters, after a few years, only he and his second brother were left, and the others all died of illness. It was unbearable to think about it. He must find a way to change this ending.
"Hello, brothers, hello, sister!" Zhu Chongba's mouth was very sweet at this moment.
After meeting Zhu Chongba, all the big brothers went to work. It was really a crowd to watch the work.
Money is really a good thing. Zhu Chongba's father went to buy a lot of wood and other materials. Then he called several children from Uncle Zhu Chongba's family over, his son Chongqi and his eldest daughter. Just came back.
Families in rural areas are busy with life, and it is rare for so many people to get together. Zhu Chongba's mother is currently preparing for dinner.
After all, with so many people coming here to work, they always have to take care of the food.
Zhu Chongba pulled his eldest brother aside and said, "Brother, please take the time to find out how to sell salt. Do you need to buy a salt lead to sell salt? For those silver ingots, you should use five of your capital to sell salt."
His eldest brother listened to Zhu Chongba's very logical words and was very impressed. His younger brother was so smart at only ten years old. "Okay, I'll go find out about it later."
"Then I'll go back to herd the cattle!" Zhu Chongba and his mother and father said and returned to the cattle farm.
If the outcome of something is known in advance, no matter what it looks like now, people will think about the outcome.
With these brothers and sisters, Zhu Chongba always thought about the tragic things that would happen later, so he couldn't bear to look at them anymore, so he left with an excuse.
At the cattle farm, there will be two children about the same size as Zhu Chongba feeding the cattle.
When I walked forward, I saw that the new kid turned out to be Tang He. He was Zhu Chongba’s good friend. Tang He was two years older than Zhu Yuanzhang. Tang He’s home was on the same street as Zhu Chongba’s home. Up.
"Tang He, why are you here? We haven't played together for several days!" Zhu Chongba said.
"Yes! I went to visit relatives and just came back. It happened that the housekeeper here was looking for a cow feeder, so I came." Tang He said while working.
When he was in college in modern times, Zhu Chongba read the history of the Ming Dynasty and said that Emperor Hongwu massacred the heroes. Few of the founding heroes died a good death, but Tang He was an "outlier" among them and got a good death.
Historical books say that Tang He was "Shen Min and wise". Tang He was great. He was the introducer of Zhu Chongba's uprising. Zhu Chongba was a monk in Huangjue Temple at that time. Tang He wrote to Zhu Chongba asking him to join the rebellion.
"That's great, we can meet every day from now on." Zhu Chongba said happily.
Zhu Chongba was really happy to see his friends.
The cow ate the feed formulated by Zhu Chongba and grew much faster than usual.
Zhu Chongba has not planned again since his last plan. He wants to wait for the final implementation of his two ideas to see how effective they are?
A month later, a batch of cattle from the landlord Liu Fu's cattle farm were successfully released. Normally, they would have to wait at least another month or so.
The landlord Liu Fu was really overjoyed. He praised Zhu Chongba, and then tore up the "deed of sale" in front of Zhu Chongba. Of course, he would not give Zhu Yuanzhang another ingot, but just verbally praised him. .
The conditions at Zhu Chongba's home have also changed drastically. Although they are still not very good, the whole family has beds and a few more rooms. His eldest brother also started selling salt. He went to the government to buy salt and then went to Yancheng. It is still possible to buy salt there and sell it in four villages and eight towns.
After excluding food, drinks, costs, freight, etc., he earned five silver coins in a month. This made Zhu Chongba and his eldest brother very satisfied.
Zhu Chongba was quite dissatisfied. If he was making money at such a rate, how could he change the fate of the entire family? No, this is absolutely not possible, but what can he do? Zhu Chongba fell into thinking.
Zhu Chongba suddenly thought of a sentence, "Build the wall high, accumulate food widely, and become king slowly." This was the nine-character mantra given to Zhu Chongba by a great scholar later.
Zhu Yuanzhang later faithfully implemented this nine-character mantra, and then he gradually became full-fledged and had the last laugh among the heroes.
In fact, there is also a big business hidden in this, and that is the food business.
After all, people use very little salt every day, but food is a very bulk commodity. By the end of the Yuan Dynasty, the north was heavily dependent on the south for its food supply.
This is what Zhu Chongba saw from the information in modern times.
But if you want to traffic grain and sell salt, they are completely different. Trafficking in grain requires large-scale capital, a condition that Zhu Chongba could not achieve in a short period of time.
Since he can't achieve it, he has to find a way. Zhu Chongba now knows very little about the current situation, and it is really difficult to achieve his ambition.
I don’t blame him, because he is too young and can’t do many things.
Originally, this period of time was Zhu Chongba's most painful period, which was a test of his ability to survive. After many years of military career, Zhu Chongba became emperor for thirty years. If he had not been in good health, it would have been impossible for him to do so. So long.
The yard of the landlord Liu Fu's house is very grand. The place where Zhu Chongba sleeps every day is a small woodshed in the outer courtyard. It is not easy to meet the landlord Liu Fu.
Zhu Chongba had an idea and wanted to try it, so he went to the landlord's housekeeper.
