Concubine Ning looked at the confident Zhu Yunwen and sat down to wait. There was a hint of reverie in her eyes.
Is it too much for an emperor to know?
Medical gauze, wool textiles, new account books, new stoves, concrete roads, and telescopes that can see far away... these are all created by Zhu Yunwen.
He would sometimes say inexplicable words that no one seemed to understand, but after his explanation, everyone would understand.
Not to mention his nostalgic and contemplative look when he was in Huqiu, let's just say that today in the grain industry, he actually knows how to distinguish old rice from new rice by looking, smelling and tasting. This is definitely difficult for ordinary people to distinguish.
When I was in Hangzhou, I had seen shopkeepers act like this, but if I had to judge it myself, I would still be blind. But Zhu Yunwen did it naturally, which seemed extremely unusual.
You must know that the era when he lived and grew up was not the era when Zhu Yuanzhang conquered the world. There was no need for him to wander around and experience the sufferings of the people. I heard that he lived in a deep palace when he was a child, and most of the time he went out to visit Nanjing. Even so, it was impossible for him to understand the difference between new and old rice.
It’s impossible for Taizu’s grandson to go to a grain store to buy rice, right?
Concubine Ning discovered that Zhu Yunwen had countless mysteries, and it was this mystery that attracted her deeply.
Zhu Yunwen walked towards Concubine Ning, sat aside and said, "You won't blame me for making the matter bigger, right?"
Concubine Ning smiled lightly and said: "This matter seems small, but it is actually big. Businessmen always need someone to take care of their bad habits, otherwise, they will forget about it. I think what your husband did today was not just about attacking a grain store, right?"
Zhu Yunwen nodded slightly, looked at the crowd at the door, and said, "Did you hear it too?"
It was difficult for Concubine Ning not to hear it. Some of the onlookers had good intentions and reminded her several times. Some even said openly that Hu's Grain Company had a backer and that she couldn't fight. If she had to be patient and give in, the matter would be over.
Zhu Yunwen whispered: "I originally thought I would just punish the dishonest businessman, but now it seems that punishing Hu's Grain Store is meaningless. We also need to give the person behind the grain store a hard beating."
Xue Xia came over and whispered: "Someone bribed Zhou Baitong, and the shopkeeper of the grain store he invited also received the hint. I am afraid that no one will go against Hu's grain store. According to the investigation, the person behind this grain store is... It is Hu Xin, the general judge of Suzhou."
Zhu Yunwen smiled and said, "Could it be that they still dare to commit fraud in front of the people?"
Concubine Ning's eyes moved slightly, and she said expectantly: "After all, calling a deer a horse is a bit exaggerated. A deer is not a horse. No matter how you point it at it, it cannot become a horse. But this new rice and old rice are easy to mix together. It is still easy to do something. It depends on you. end."
Zhu Yunwen laughed, stood up, called Sun Dong, and ordered: "Use the enemy's spear, attack the enemy's shield, and like this..."
Sun Dong understood and walked out.
Zhou Baitong came back and brought five shopkeepers with him. He looked at the shopkeeper of Hu's Grain Shop with a smile, then looked at Zhu Yunwen with regret and said, "These five shopkeepers are the principals of various grain shops and grain shops in Suzhou. They have experience." Rich, you can’t go wrong.”
Shopkeeper Hu bowed his hands to the five shopkeepers who came and said: "Shopkeeper Yang, shopkeeper Sun, shopkeeper Shi, shopkeeper Liu, and shopkeeper Wu, if you can take the trouble to come here, you must take a closer look. Look at me Hu." Has Shi Liang Store used the old to replace the new and the inferior to replace the good? It might as well give me a clear reputation!"
The word "Hu" was bitten very hard.
Several shopkeepers quickly returned the gift and said: "I should try my best."
"What else do you have to say? If not, then let's do the test!"
Shopkeeper Hu looked at Zhu Yunwen.
Zhu Yunwen walked over slowly and said: "There is nothing to say. Since we are all people who are proficient in this way, let's talk about it."
Yang Chun looked at Zhu Yunwen, trembling all over, and his legs couldn't help but tremble.
My dear, isn't this Emperor Jianwen Zhu Yunzhen?
No, it must be too similar. Impossible, absolutely impossible!
Zhu Yunwen should stay in the capital now. The head of the family, Shen Yiyuan, also mentioned that Emperor Jianwen seemed to be in poor health recently and moved to Houhu to recuperate. There was no way he could come to Suzhou.
However, why does this man look so similar to the portrait of Emperor Jianwen borrowed by Shen Yiyuan? They are almost like the same mold!
Speaking of the portrait of Emperor Jianwen, there are some reasons for this.
Since Li Zengzhi opened the Miao Miao Pavilion Restaurant, he met Zhu Yunwen who visited privately incognito on the first day of business. As a result, a large number of officials were implicated. Li Zengzhi is still in prison undergoing reform.
Shen Yiyuan considered that Zhu Yunwen often traveled around the capital, and in order to avoid offending his family, he spent a lot of money to gain connections with King Min, borrowed a portrait of Zhu Yunwen, and asked all the shopkeepers in his family to arrive Capital Master, please recognize me.
This kind of thing is done very secretly, and no one dares to announce it.
After Shen Yiyuan took care of it, he returned the portrait to King Min, as if the incident had never happened.
Yang Chun didn't take it seriously at the time. After all, he was the shopkeeper of Suzhou and Zhu Yunwen was the emperor, so it was impossible for him to go to Suzhou. However, Shen Yiyuan never took any chances and made everyone remember it with his stern order.
Now, the person in the painting ran out and was right in front of him. Is this true or false?
Outsider?
newcomer?
New here...
Your uncle Hu Guangcai, you shouldn’t have provoked the Ming Emperor, right?
Yang Chun broke out in a cold sweat. When he saw Zhu Yunwen's gaze, he couldn't help but feel a sense of majesty. He knelt down. Before he could speak, he heard Zhu Yunwen say: "Look carefully. What should I say? No." Whatever you say must be based on your conscience.”
Zhu Yunwen was also a little surprised. He didn't expect anyone to recognize him in Suzhou City, but this guy couldn't be more enlightened. If he shouted "Kowtow to the Emperor...", all his plans would be ruined.
Yang Chun has been the shopkeeper for decades, what words can't he understand?
He didn’t run away, it was really...
Oh my god, why am I staying in Suzhou and not returning to Wuyuan? This is simply killing people.
"Shopkeeper Yang, what's wrong with you?"
The other shopkeepers were a little surprised.
Yang Chun coughed, got up quickly, and said, "I've been using the toilet for too long, my legs are numb..."
Everyone has a black line.
Hu Guangcai, the shopkeeper of Hu's Grain Store, didn't bother to pay attention. He ordered the waiter to take out five bowls, beat five bowls of rice directly, put them on the table, and said: "Five of you, please take a seat and identify it to see if there is anything in it." Chen Mi!”
Yang Chun glanced at Zhu Yunwen, sat down quickly, looked at the ceramic bowl containing rice in front of him, and started picking without any pressure. No one can fight against the emperor, because against the emperor, there is absolutely no chance of winning...
Hu Guangcai was just an ordinary shopkeeper, and Hu Xin behind him was just a general judge. He was considered a powerful figure in Suzhou, but no matter how much he jumped, he couldn't get out of the emperor's hand.
Shopkeeper Sun checked, looked around, stood up and said to the people at the door: "This bowl is all new rice, there is no old rice."
Seeing this, shopkeeper Wu also stood up and said, "It's all new rice."
Hu Guangcai saw that shopkeepers Liu and Wu also stated that it was new rice, and the smile on his lips became thicker and thicker. Before Yang Chun could speak, he started shouting: "Everyone has heard it, the rice sold in my grain store is all new. It is not adulterated with old rice. This person has malicious intentions and falsely accuses our grain store, causing the reputation of the grain store to be damaged. Boy, hand over a thousand taels. Go back to where you came from! If you continue to entangle, be careful of the government getting involved! "
Zhu Yunwen remained calm and said: "Isn't there another shopkeeper who hasn't produced any results? Why are you so impatient?"
Hu Guangcai was stunned and looked at Yang Chun who was standing up. Yang Chun stood up, pointed at a handful of rice grains on the table, and said loudly: "I guarantee with my personality that this bowl of rice is adulterated with old rice!"
When the onlookers at the door heard this, they immediately became excited.
“Sure enough, it’s adulterated with Chen rice!”
"Profiteer!"
"This is what Hu's Grain Store is like. The rice I bought here a few days ago didn't taste right when I went back to eat it. I always felt a little chewy!"
"This is the price at which old rice is sold for new rice. This is Hu's Grain Store. Everyone, don't buy rice here again in the future!"
Hu Guangcai felt angry as he listened to the commotion outside, and shouted loudly: "Four shopkeepers can testify that there is no Chen Mi. Yang Chun, can you see clearly, do I really have Chen Mi here?"
Yang Chun faced Hu Guangcai directly and said without fear: "If I make a mistake, I am willing to take him to court!"
Hu Guangcai didn't expect Yang Chun to be so ignorant and dare to ruin his own situation. He couldn't help but said: "Okay Yang Chun, isn't it just because the Hu family robbed your business in Luzhou, he actually falsely accused the public for personal gain! There are four A shopkeeper testified, don’t believe him!”
Zhu Yunwen watched Sun Dong carrying a bag of rice into the store, looked at the other four shopkeepers, and said: "Are you sure you have seen clearly, there is no Chen rice? I want to remind you that testifying this time is related to your reputation. , or even your family’s business! If you can’t speak according to your conscience and only see benefits, haha, I’m afraid you’ll have nothing in the end!”
Shopkeeper Sun said bravely: "We are not wrong, there is indeed no Chen Mi."
"Yes, no!"
Shopkeeper Wu and others could only nod.
Zhu Yunwen laughed, then looked at Sun Dong and said, "In that case, let them test it again."
Sun Dong smashed the rice bag directly on the table, and several bowls shook. Involuntarily, Sun Dong opened his right hand to everyone, then reached into the rice bag, pinched a small handful of rice and mixed it into the bowl, and so on. , the four bowls have been mixed with the rice in the bag.
Shopkeeper Sun looked at Zhu Yunqi and asked inexplicably, "What are you doing?"
Zhu Yunwen didn't explain, and said, "I'd better ask a few of you to take a look to see if there is any old rice in the bowl."
Shopkeeper Wu squinted at Zhu Yunwen, wondering if the person in front of him was a fool. The rice bag that guy brought had the word "Chen rice" clearly written on it. You mixed Chen rice into the bowl, and you didn't need to say that. , naturally there will be Chen Mi!
"There is Chen Mi!"
After inspection, the four shopkeepers agreed in unison.
Zhu Yunwen looked at the four shopkeepers coldly, sneered and said, "It's that simple."
"What do you mean? Mixing in old rice will naturally produce old rice!"
Hu Guangcai shouted.
Sun Dong lined up the tables, picked up the rice in the bag, and turned it upside down. The rice poured out and scattered on the tables, the ground, and everywhere.
"Although this bag says "old rice", it is all new rice. When new rice is added to the bowl, why does old rice appear? Don't you guys give me an explanation?"
Sun Dong gritted his teeth, these businessmen were so abominable!
Shopkeeper Liu stood up and shouted: "You said there is new rice in the bag, so that means it is new rice? There is obviously old rice in the bag!"
Sun Dong sneered, clapped his hands, and five guys were pushed towards him outside the door.
Yang Chun was stunned. Isn't this his rice seller? Are those guys their family members?
Sun Dong said bluntly: "This bag of rice was bought from five of your grain stores, and all the rice I bought was new. Every time I bought it, there was more than one clerk watching the whole process. If you shopkeepers say this bag If there is old rice in the rice, that means the new rice in your own grain store is also adulterated with old rice!"
Shopkeeper Liu, Shopkeeper Wu and others had pale faces. This incident was such a big deal. If they didn’t admit that the Hu’s grain store’s rice was adulterated with old rice, they would be admitting that the new rice from their own food store was adulterated with old rice…
Shopkeeper Wu figured out the problem and immediately turned his back: "What? There is absolutely no mixing of new rice with old rice in our Wu family's grain store. It was Hu Guangcai who asked me to say so..."
