The second floor of Jinling Hotel.
Zhu Yuanzhang had just heard Liu Bowen repeat what had just happened.
"So, the Jinling Hotel and Su's Cloth Shop are all Su Jing's property."
Zhu Yuanzhang spoke calmly, not paying much attention.
Firstly, he doesn't think highly of businessmen himself.
Secondly, as the founder of the Ming Dynasty, this small amount of property may be a lot in the eyes of others, but in his eyes it is nothing more than that.
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Liu Bowen replied: "Su Jing is so young and can do such a big business. If there is no one behind her, her ability is indeed extraordinary."
“It’s really not easy to open up trade especially in the north.”
Although Liu Bowen recognized Su Jing's ability, he still had doubts in his heart.
If Su Jing relied on certain royal relatives in the court to achieve such achievements, then his evaluation would be average.
"Well, Bowen is thoughtful."
Zhu Yuanzhang nodded and continued: "But this Su Jing actually did business with the North. He is so bold. Now that the remnants of the Bei Yuan are still here, he is really suspected of being an enemy!"
Purchasing a piece of beef is subsidizing the enemy.
Liu Bowen doesn't think so.
Although there are still remnants of the Northern Yuan Dynasty that have not been wiped out, these are all within the scope of military and national events.
For ordinary people, some business transactions are also common things.
As long as what is being sold is not military supplies, it is not that serious.
Liu Bowen knew that what really made Zhu Yuanzhang angry was the phrase "thin dog".
At first, Liu Bowen didn't quite understand the meaning of the word "thin dog", but after smacking it carefully, he understood some of the charm.
Harmful!
Quite damaging!
So Liu Bowen pretended to be mute at this moment and stopped touching this brow.
After a while, Zhu Yuanzhang vented some of his anger and said, "Bowen, in your opinion, should this kid be arrested and tortured?"
"His Majesty's Sacred Heart is arbitrary, and it is inconvenient for me to say more."
Liu Bowen would not pick up the fight.
He could tell that Zhu Yuanzhang would be very angry, but he still admired Su Jing.
It is best not to express any attitude.
Zhu Yuanzhang didn't get an answer from Liu Bowen, so he could only continue: "Although this boy is a little dishonest, he still admires me very much. It is unlikely that he will collaborate with the enemy."
Su Jing's words of praise for the Emperor of Heaven were very useful to Zhu Yuanzhang, and he also found a step for himself.
Upon hearing this, Liu Bowen said: "Your Majesty is wise."
"hehe."
Zhu Yuanzhang glanced at Liu Bowen and understood the old cunning man's attitude.
"Your Majesty, in my opinion, Su Jing has become wary now. Should the investigation be slowed down?"
Liu Bowen said.
He himself was a little surprised. He obviously went to check out Su Jing's situation, but Su Jing was suspicious of him.
This guy looks young, but he is very thoughtful.
Zhu Yuanzhang said calmly: "Indeed, but this guy is interesting. I have to take another look."
Although he didn't have much contact, Zhu Yuanzhang was indeed aroused by Su Jing.
Especially regarding businessmen's views, Su Jing's words make sense.
"It's a pity that the old minister didn't find out what Su Jing did when he went to Su's cloth shop. He was unworthy of your majesty's trust."
Liu Bowen bowed slightly.
Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand and said indifferently: "Just go to Su's Clothing Store immediately and see if it's okay. Didn't this kid also say that you can get a discount if you tell his name?"
Zhu Yuanzhang had an idea, and without any delay, he immediately rushed to the Su family's cloth shop.
Being vigorous and resolute is Zhu Yuanzhang's consistent style.
The sun sets over the western mountains and the sky becomes late.
When it was supposed to be sunset, Lishui County was packed with people and quite lively.
All kinds of small vendors were out on the street, and there were a lot of things to eat and play.
The reason for such a scene is that Lishui County is located in Yingtian Prefecture.
Secondly, the business in Lishui County is developed enough.
Because only when commerce is developed can the night be so colorful.
This has nothing to do with Su Jing.
"Master, Lishui County is really lively this night."
Liu Bowen looked at the crowds coming and going around and said with emotion.
More than a year ago, the Ming Dynasty was still in the flames of war, and people everywhere were devastated.
Who could have imagined that such a scene would exist now?
"Yes, it's lively enough!"
Zhu Yuanzhang laughed and was very satisfied.
Soon, the two of them arrived at Su's Cloth Shop.
"Two gentlemen, what kind of materials do you want? Su's Cloth Company dare not tell you anything else. This fabric definitely has everything you need!"
The cloth shop clerk came up to me with a smile.
Zhu Yuanzhang did not speak, and Liu Bowen said: "We are friends of Mr. Su Jing, and we came here specially to have a look."
Su Jing?
The clerk at the cloth shop was obviously stunned for a moment, but by then the shopkeeper Sun Ping had already heard the sound and came over.
"It turns out that a distinguished guest is here."
Sun Ping waved his hand towards the waiter, indicating to go down, and then said to Zhu Yuanzhang: "I am Sun Ping, the shopkeeper of the cloth shop. I wonder what materials the two distinguished guests want?"
Su Jing's friend, Sun Ping, would never dare to neglect him.
"Bring me the worst ingredients in your store."
Zhu Yuanzhang said directly.
Worst ingredient?
Sun Ping was very surprised when he heard this.
These two people don't look like poor people, and they are friends of the boss.
But strangely enough, Sun Ping didn't show anything strange.
"Okay."
Sun Ping came directly to the shelves at the entrance of the store, pointed at a few pieces of fabric and said, "This is our worst fabric."
Now it was Zhu Yuanzhang and Liu Bowen's turn to be surprised.
Which cloth shop puts the worst goods at the door?
Naturally, Zhu Yuanzhang could not ask for such doubts. Liu Bowen asked very knowledgeable: "Shopkeeper Sun, you put the worst fabrics at the door, aren't you afraid of chasing away customers?"
Sun Ping smiled and said, "You two are friends of my employer, so I'll just tell you."
"My boss said that even if the goods from our Su's Cloth Shop are the worst, they must be something that no one can fault, at least they should be worthy of the price."
As he spoke, Sun Ping's face showed confidence and pride!
interesting.
Zhu Yuanzhang asked: "What about the price?"
"One nickel a horse."
Sun Ping replied.
A nickel?
Zhu Yuanzhang and Liu Bowen's faces showed surprise at the same time, and they touched the cloth with their hands.
"Although it's just linen, at this price, can it still make money?"
Liu Bowen expressed his doubts to Sun Ping.
Too cheap!
It’s ridiculously cheap!
Although Zhu Yuanzhang and him now have noble status, they are not ignorant of people's livelihood.
Especially Zhu Yuanzhang, who went from beggar to emperor.
Sun Ping replied: "It's not profitable. The boss said that the people who come to buy linen are poor people. Their money is not profitable for Su's Cloth Shop."
As soon as these words came out, Zhu Yuanzhang and Liu Bowen looked shocked.
This Su Jing is really a different businessman!
