Ningxia carpets are very famous in modern times.
But Chu Ze has never seen it.
He was not interested in these furnishings and it was a waste of money to buy them.
But it's different now.
At a time when transportation is not developed enough and transportation is not convenient enough, these specialties are very precious in other areas.
Although some businessmen are willing to traffic in these special products, because they buy low and sell high, the common people can only make a small amount of money from their hard work, while some businessmen make a lot of money.
Coupled with the current imperial court's emphasis on agriculture and suppression of business, the transaction of goods is very limited.
All severely restricted the development of commerce and trade.
It is better for the government to take the lead in formulating rules, standardizing business practices, resisting commercial monopolies, guiding trade flows, and activating regional economies.
By then, the people of Yinchuan will no longer have to rely solely on raising sheep to make a living.
You can also earn more to support your family.
And his strategy to strengthen the country can also be implemented faster.
The more Chu Ze thought about it, the more feasible it became.
Anyway, the people sent by the imperial court will not be able to arrive these days, so why not take Yinchuan as a case and take the lead in setting up a nationwide demonstration site.
As soon as this idea came up, Chu Ze's heart started pounding.
He took the boss to sit down and asked in detail what specialties Yinchuan had.
The boss thought that Chu Ze wanted to get more specialties back, so he immediately told him everything he knew.
Chu Ze listened very carefully and asked even more seriously.
Until the end, the boss couldn't figure out why Chu Ze asked these questions.
But he still honestly told Chu Ze everything he knew.
After hearing this, Chu Ze's plan in his mind had already taken shape.
He had to go back quickly, write down this method, and give it to Zhu Yuanzhang when he returned to Beijing.
Chu Ze sat at the tea stall for more than an hour, and the boss also sat with him.
By the time we finished talking, the sky was already a bit dark.
Chu Ze stood up and thanked: "How many brothers have given me guidance."
"Hey, what kind of advice is this? These are things that all the people in Yinchuan know. It's our honor that you are willing to ask us." The boss waved his hand nonchalantly.
Chu Ze thanked him again.
When leaving, he also wanted to pay the boss for some tea.
After all, they had been chatting with him for so long and not a single business had been done.
But the boss refused to accept anything, so Chu Ze had no choice but to quietly put some money on the table before leaving.
When the boss came out to close the stall, he looked at the money on the table and was startled, and then said with a smile: "Hey! This Mr. Chu is very particular."
After Yinchuan officials were arrested, Chu Ze moved his residence to the Chengxuan Government Office.
Lan Yu is still in the military camp and will come to see him when she has free time.
Now, the study in the Advocate's Office is brightly lit.
Chu Ze is writing a note.
He has been busy for another half a month, and after improving his schedule several times, it is finally completed.
As soon as he returned to Yingtian, he sent this item to Zhu Yuanzhang.
The officials sent by the court to replace him have also arrived.
Chu Ze met with the replacing official and made a detailed handover.
After doing all this, Chu Ze went to find Lan Yu to confirm the date of departure for Beijing.
Lan Yu has already prepared everything and is ready to go at any time.
The reason why he hasn't moved yet is because he is waiting for Chu Ze.
Now that Chu Ze's matter has been dealt with, Lan Yu immediately said: "I have stayed here for so many days. It is useless to stay any longer. Let's leave tomorrow."
"OK."
When Chu Ze returned home, he immediately asked people to pack his things.
Chu Ze wanted to leave quietly without disturbing anyone.
But somehow, the news that he was leaving spread.
People came to see him off one after another.
After seeing Chu Ze, they all knelt down.
An old man who looked very handsome raised his head and looked at Chu Ze with tears in his eyes: "Master Chu, we the people of Yinchuan heard that Master Chu was going to answer the question today, so we came here to see him off."
Chu Ze and Lan Yu quickly got off their horses.
Chu Ze stepped forward to help the old man up: "Oh, don't be so polite. We are running errands for the emperor. If you really want to thank us, just thank us. The emperor means this. We are just running away." Just running errands." Chu Ze deeply remembered his personality.
To have a good reputation, you must first stick to Zhu Yuanzhang.
Otherwise, he should be worried.
When the old man heard this, he immediately said: "Don't worry, sir, we are all citizens of the Ming Dynasty, and we will always remember the emperor in our hearts."
"But Mr. Chu is busy working for Yinchuan, and we see it."
"We know Mr. Chu is honest and honest, and we can't get him anything that's too good, but we can still get these specialties." The old man turned his head, waved to the people behind him, and said, "Folks, get ready for us. Take out all your belongings!"
When the old man's voice fell, several groups of people immediately came over carrying several boxes.
They opened the box, revealing a pile of specialties inside.
The most eye-catching thing among them is the brightly colored carpet at the top of the first box.
Chu Ze: "?"
It looks familiar.
Chu Ze subconsciously raised his head and saw the tea stall owner not far away looking at him with a smile.
Chu Ze: "..."
Understood.
He said why these people suddenly gave him so many specialties. It was probably this person who promoted it for him.
Sure enough, the old man's words confirmed Chu Ze's guess: "Lao Qi said that adults like our specialties here, so we immediately prepared some. Not much, just to express our feelings. Please don't refuse, Mr. Chu."
Of course Chu Ze would not delay.
You've been busy for so long, what's wrong with collecting some specialties?
He also wants to be paid for his hard work.
Chu Ze laughed so hard that his eyes rolled, he said he was sorry, and he didn't hesitate at all when asking people to move things behind him.
This is called receiving a gift openly and honestly.
Lan Yu's hands were itchy to see.
"Chu Ze." Lan Yuxian Shao called Chu Ze this way. He usually called his son-in-law affectionately.
It can be seen that he is really angry.
After all, I gave him face and didn't get angry on the spot.
But Lan Yu's face still didn't look good.
He strode to Chu Ze's side, grabbed Chu Ze's arm, pulled him aside, and cursed in a low voice: "Son-in-law, you don't want your life! We are here to run errands for the emperor, you accept it in public After receiving so many gifts, aren't you afraid of losing your head when you go back?! And they have nothing to eat, can you bear to peel off their skins?"
"..." Forget the previous words, what's going on with the last sentence?
Why do you mean he's peeling off their skin?
Chu Ze took Lan Yu's arm and whispered back: "If you don't accept this gift, the emperor will be even more worried. Father-in-law, don't worry, we will be fine. As for their livelihood, we have opened the warehouse to provide food. , they won’t be able to starve with such a small amount of food.” What’s more, if he goes back this time, he can bring them greater benefits.
They are not at a loss.
