After Zhu Chongba heard what his second brother said, he did not answer immediately because he had to think carefully about what to do next.
Up to now, what Zhu Chongba wanted to do has basically been completed. He has already tasted the benefits of planning everything beforehand, and it can really be said that he is invincible.
Although Dadu has not yet seen much, Zhu Chongba has a feeling that if he only looks at Dadu, there will be no problem. The emperor of the Yuan Dynasty concentrated all the people's wealth and anointing that could be collected from all over the country to Dadu.
Now Zhu Chongba is thinking about how to do business here. Dadu is at the feet of the emperor, and there are many business opportunities. Zhu Chongba is ready to let his third brother stay in Dadu to do business.
This was a retreat arranged by Zhu Chongba for his third brother. Zhu Chongba wanted to use this method to change his so-called fate, because in Zhu Yuanzhang's memories, his third brother died early.
If his third brother stayed in Dadu, he would not encounter the same thing as before. In this case, maybe his fate could be changed.
This was Zhu Chongba's original intention for this arrangement, but whether other unexpected things would happen after this arrangement was difficult to predict and could only be left to fate.
"Second brother, third brother, my arrangement is this. Third brother, you will be stationed in Dadu. Wait a minute, we will buy a yard. This yard will be the office of our Zhu Family Firm in Dadu in the future." Zhu Chongba continued He used a lot of modern nouns, which made his second brother and third brother stunned for a while.
Zhu Chongba saw the confused expressions on their faces, and had no choice but to say, "Third brother, we will buy a yard later. You will stay here and let the second brother escort the grain. We three brothers will work together." Get this business done.”
Only then did his two brothers understand that this idea was of course unanimously approved. Next, they walked around the metropolis beautifully.
Zhu Chongba did not hesitate to spend a lot of money to buy a yard. The yard was not only large, but also the location was not very prominent. In this way, he could avoid suffering from the sword.
In his memory, Xu Da captured Dadu almost without a single blow. So Zhu Chongba thought about it again and again, and felt that this courtyard was still okay.
If we talk about it in military terms, we can attack when we advance, and we can defend when we retreat.
After buying the yard, the three brothers were looking for a restaurant on the street. At this time, the second brother said, "It would be great if I could open a restaurant. I have already thought of a name. It will be Zhu's old restaurant."
When Zhu Chongba heard it, he thought the name was very auspicious. He just wanted to run a century-old store, "Okay. Then let's go look for it!"
The three brothers found a restaurant, which looked very good. They had a meal inside now, and then Zhu Chongba said, "Second brother, what do you think of this store? If possible, let's buy this store, what do you think?"
When his second brother heard this, he was of course very happy, "If that's the case, that would be great. But if the business is so good, will they sell it?"
Zhu Chongba thought for a moment and did not speak immediately. He looked around the restaurant several times. He was also thinking about this matter. What should he do if the restaurant does not sell it?
This is a restaurant run by Han people, and the food tastes pretty good. If you ask someone rashly if they will sell this restaurant, you will probably get an answer of no. This is not the result Zhu Chongba wants.
At this moment, a large group of Mongolians came in from outside. Zhu Chongba had only seen Semu people before. Although there were Mongolians in the grain trading market, he was busy with other things at the time and did not pay attention.
This was the first time he had seen so many Mongolians. Zhu Chongba stood still and did not want to get into trouble. He came here to seek money, and his attitude towards other matters was that it would be better to do less than to do more.
"Come out of the store!" a Mongolian shouted at the door.
When the store owner saw that he was a Mongolian, he was immediately frightened. "Who are you? What's the matter?" When he said this, the store owner was trembling all over. Of course he was very scared. The status of Han people here is really very low.
"Seller, your store is really good. We want to buy your store. Do you like it?" said a Mongolian.
When the shopkeeper saw that they were Mongolians, he immediately became nervous. These people said they were buying a shop, but in fact they were robbing them openly, because I had never heard of any Mongolians paying for the shop after buying it. The shopkeeper didn't know how to answer for a moment. .
At this time, Zhu Chongba felt that the opportunity had come, "Shopkeeper, please don't forget our agreement! Yesterday you said you sold this shop to me."
When the store owner heard this, it was as if he had grasped a life-saving straw and said hurriedly, "Sir, don't worry, I didn't forget. We will start the formalities in a moment!" Then he said to the Mongolians, "I'm sorry, everyone. , my store has been sold to this young man. I will vouch for my credibility."
The Mongolian looked at Wei Xiaodong carefully, and then said, "In this case, we will say goodbye." After that, he left.
At this time, the store owner didn't believe it anymore and left like this. When did Mongolians become so easy to talk to? Then he said to Zhu Chongba, "Thank you young master for your help."
Zhu Chongba looked at him in surprise, and then said, "I'm not doing you a favor, I really want to buy this store, and you agreed just now."
The store owner now felt confident. After a pause, he said, "Is it possible for me to sell this store to you? Besides, do you have money?"
Zhu Chongba wanted to get angry, but he endured it again and again, and then said, "Can you tell me how much it will cost?"
The store owner originally wanted to say that no matter how much money you gave me, I would not sell it, but then he thought about it and deliberately said a very high price. The total of all the items in his store would not exceed 500 taels of silver at most. But the store said a price, "One thousand five hundred taels of silver."
If this price were ordinary people, they would not pay attention to En at all, because the price is too high, but Zhu Chongba was angry now and did not bargain at all, "Okay, deal, I hope you won't regret it."
When the store owner heard this, he was very happy and said, "Don't worry! Master, I will definitely not regret it. I hope you won't regret it either. Let's do this. You give me money, and then I will give you the land deed of this store." .”
Zhu Chongba's two brothers secretly told Zhu Chongba that the price was too high, but Zhu Chongba ignored it.
