"Grandson! You see, this is the people's support!" Lao Zhu said seriously to Zhu Xiongying with his hands behind his back.
It's just that the corner of his mouth seems to be a little out of control!
What are you twitching about?
I know you're happy, so there's no need to be like this, right?
"Haha, grandpa, I got it!" Zhu Xiongying said with a smile,
"After you win over me, I will be treated like this by the people!"
"Haha, you kid, you need to work harder slowly!" Lao Zhu said with a smile.
"Well, that's for sure!" Zhu Xiongying said.
The two of them had finished eating, and Lao Zhu was relieved now.
After hearing the voice of the people and gaining everyone's approval, Dasun no longer has to worry.
These rumors have really disappeared. This time out of the palace is worth it.
The two of them also continued shopping.
"Grandpa, let's go and have a look at my place!" Zhu Xiongying said.
"Where are you?" Lao Zhu asked, somewhat confused.
"Yes, I still have some shops here!" Zhu Xiongying said.
"Your shop?" Lao Zhu really frowned at this time.
"Haha, yes!" Zhu Xiongying didn't hide anything now.
Although Lao Zhu controls Jin Yiwei and knows a lot about Zhu Xiongying, he doesn't know everything.
It was also because of his trust in Da Sun that he didn't have to explain everything.
Coupled with Zhu Xiongying's own concealment, Lao Zhu still didn't know that his eldest grandson actually had a shop and was doing business as a merchant.
"Dasun, you...can't be confused!" Lao Zhu said scoldingly,
"Why are you so careless about your job?"
"Haha, grandpa, I just said it was mine, and I didn't say I ran it!" Zhu Xiongying said with a wry smile.
He knew that this would be the final result, otherwise he would not have told Lao Zhu all the time.
I was planning something today, and I happened to be out, so I took Lao Zhu with me for a walk.
Although he was well prepared, he didn't expect Lao Zhu's reaction to be so big.
"It doesn't matter if it's not your business!" Lao Zhu frowned and said,
"How can a grand grandson of a great country do such a despicable job!"
"If word spreads, where is our Ming Dynasty's face, where is our decency? Where is our majesty?"
"Okay, grandpa!" Zhu Xiongying said helplessly,
"Look at the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty, how many people's homes don't have such connections or shops?"
"Even if it's not run by themselves, it's run by their relatives and servants!"
"They are doing this while annexing land!"
"Even if they don't take action personally, there will be people who are plotting against them!"
"I dare not say that they are all true. After all, there are still honest officials who do things completely in accordance with the rules of the court!"
"But there are very few such people!"
"Even Huang Zicheng, the former Taichang Temple Minister who was held accountable, had such a situation in his house!" Zhu Xiongying said.
"Corrupt officials, they are all corrupt officials!" Lao Zhu said through gritted teeth.
"Dasun, why didn't you tell us about this?"
"Okay grandpa, as long as they don't harm the people or persecute others, I won't care much about it!" Zhu Xiongying said,
"Moreover, this business is being done by a few distinguished people!"
"There are my uncle, my great-uncle, and Marquis Dingyuan and the others!"
"Okay, you grandson, there has been no movement. I didn't expect him to be waiting for us here!" Lao Zhu said.
"Haha, grandpa, not only am I driving, but I am also watching how this is going!"
"If possible, the court will also open it!" Zhu Xiongying said.
"What? Court, grandson, you..." Lao Zhu felt that he didn't recognize his grandson.
"Haha, grandpa, don't be anxious. If nothing else, isn't the imperial court running the tea horses?" Zhu Xiongying said with a smile.
"How can this be the same? These are all..." Lao Zhu wanted to retort.
"Grandpa, there's nothing different!" Zhu Xiongying shook his head and said,
"Grandpa doesn't value business so much, or rather suppresses it, because he is worried that profiteers will harm the people!"
"Yes, we have told you a lot about things in the past. You should know it!" Lao Zhu said.
"Yes, I know a lot of them. Profiteers are very hateful!" Zhu Xiongying said,
"But neither I nor the imperial court will harm the people, right?"
"What's more, when something like a disaster happens, we ourselves and the shops run by our court can even stabilize prices!"
"Just like the previous floods, we did something to provide work relief, and we also strictly ordered them not to increase prices significantly!"
"And if there are shops from our imperial court, we can definitely sell some cheap grain!"
"As long as we have food to sell, if they sell it at a high price, will anyone buy it?"
Listening to Zhu Xiongying's words, Lao Zhu also started to think.
"Okay, grandpa, let's not talk about anything else. It's still early for this matter. Let's go to the store first and have a look!" Zhu Xiongying said.
"Well, okay, this matter can't be solved in a short while, let's go first!"
With that said, Lao Zhu stopped thinking and followed Da Sun towards the place he mentioned.
"Dasun, you didn't harm the people here, did you?" Lao Zhu asked still a little worried.
"Grandpa, don't worry, even though this is not selling anything in my name!"
"But they are also nobles. If something happens, won't it still affect us?"
"Now, the things sold here are not for ordinary people, they are all relatively expensive things."
"Either with the imperial court, or with those dignitaries, or other businessmen!"
"In short, people will not buy it!" Zhu Xiongying said.
"What are they selling? People won't buy them!" Lao Zhu muttered.
"Haha, grandpa will know it soon!"
Soon, they arrived not far from the store and saw a long queue.
"Are these all here to buy things from you?" Lao Zhu stared a little and asked.
"Maybe? I'm not sure, I've never been here myself, I just asked them to tell me!"
"I also asked people from Jinyiwei to investigate!" Zhu Xiongying said.
"You're not using power to oppress, are you?" Lao Zhu asked worriedly,
"Or is it that boy Chang Sheng?"
"No!" Zhu Xiongying shook his head and said,
"I told them before that I would come to them for anything beneficial!" "But if anyone wants to hurt my face, I will personally destroy their job!"
"Huh? Then go over and see what's going on!" Lao Zhu said and walked forward.
"Brother, what are you buying?" Lao Zhu walked over and said with a smile.
"You can't see, are you blind?" This guy was very arrogant and said cursingly.
He also queued here for a long time and felt unhappy.
And I just saw Lao Zhu in coarse clothes and thought he was an old farmer from somewhere.
"Huh? Don't you know how to talk well?!" A somewhat cold voice sounded, and he immediately felt that his shoulder seemed to be hooked by an iron hook.
"Ah... you dare to hit someone?" The guy screamed and looked at Zhu Xiongying.
But when he suddenly met Zhu Xiongying's eyes and looked at Zhu Xiongying's noble dress, he didn't know what to do.
Obviously, you can tell by the way he wears it. He can't offend anyone who can wear such clothes.
Even if the master behind him is not afraid, he is not someone he can offend.
It is better to do less than to do more.
"I'm sorry!" The guy apologized quickly.
He came here just to buy things for his pillar.
"Forget it!" Lao Zhu said casually.
"Old man, we are here to buy ice cubes!" the man said.
"Ice cubes?" Lao Zhu looked at the weather. It was not as hot as before, but it still made people sweat.
Moreover, ice cubes are something that ordinary people would not buy, and Da Sun was right about this.
"Are there many people here every day?" Lao Zhu continued to ask.
"Yeah, a lot of people!"
Lao Zhu nodded, thinking a little...
