After all, they parted on bad terms.
Liu Bowen came out of Fengxian Hall, his expression remained the same, as if nothing had happened.
However, in Fengxian Hall, Zhu Yuanzhang's face was quite ugly.
"They are becoming more and more arrogant one by one. Didn't they change so much just after meeting Su Jing? Su Jing, what kind of ecstasy soup did you pour into Bowen!"
Zhu Yuanzhang said extremely annoyed.
That is Zhu Yuanzhang now, Zhu Biao and Queen Ma are both here, and the murderous nature has not yet arisen.
At this time, Lao Zhu still misses his old love.
Therefore, even if Liu Bowen made him angry, he still had no murderous intention.
In any case, Liu Bowen was Zhu Yuanzhang's great contributor to the founding of the Ming Dynasty. But for this little thing, it would be too much to kill Liu Bowen.
At least, Zhu Yuanzhang is still strong now and there is no need to kill the hero.
But, angry is still angry.
"Chongba, what's wrong? Who are you angry with again? You can't be sincere, right?"
Queen Ma walked over with a smile on her face, and happened to see Zhu Yuanzhang's angry face.
Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hands and said: "No, it's still that boy Su Jing who is really restless at all!"
Su Jing?
Queen Ma was stunned and said, "What happened to Mr. Su? Did something happen to him at Baoyuan Bureau?"
Queen Ma's first reaction was that Su Jing had an accident at Baoyuan Bureau. After all, she was making firecrackers, and there were no records of accidents in the past.
"No, it has nothing to do with Baoyuan Bureau."
Zhu Yuanzhang shook his head, and then told Queen Ma what happened just now.
It was Empress Ma who suggested Liu Bowen to persuade Su Jing.
"I see, well, you really should be angry about this."
Queen Ma nodded and said seriously.
When Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, he immediately became interested and said immediately: "That's right, Su Jing, this kid, just forget about his opinions on us and lead Bowen astray. This kid is too evil-minded."
Empress Ma continued to echo: "Yes, Mr. Su's mistake was that he told the truth, which made you, Chongba, lose face as the emperor."
…
As soon as these words came out, Zhu Yuanzhang's face suddenly froze.
Good guy, what is this?
Destroy it on the spot?
"No, sister, what does Su Jing mean by telling the truth? Am I still not good to Bowen?"
Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly became unhappy.
If it were anyone else, he would definitely be furious, but in front of Queen Ma, he only dared to be slightly unhappy.
Empress Ma said calmly: "You know this matter yourself, don't ask me."
Queen Ma naturally knew about Zhu Yuanzhang's suspicion.
But after all, there is a limit to what she can do about this kind of thing.
If it comes to a serious matter of life and death, she will definitely come forward to protect it.
But Queen Ma would definitely not interfere if it was just about alienating and reemploying whom.
Although Zhu Yuanzhang was very tolerant of Empress Ma, Empress Ma had her own consciousness of not being involved in politics in the harem.
Zhu Yuanzhang was immediately speechless.
How he feels about Liu Bowen, he really knows this best.
"Sister, what are you doing here today?"
Zhu Yuanzhang directly changed the topic and asked Queen Ma instead.
Empress Ma did not bother and said, "Are you checking Chang'er? Are you so distrustful of your own son?"
Empress Ma has been really paying close attention to Zhu Xi's affairs recently.
"yes."
Zhu Yuanzhang nodded and said, "You won't know unless you check. It turns out that Zhu Liangzu is also secretly doing soap business. It was Zhu Liangzu who bought the big deals for the second son."
"Marquis Yongjia?"
Queen Ma was a little surprised, and was surprised that Zhu Liangzu suddenly got involved in the soap business.
"Is he helping Ping'er on purpose?"
Queen Ma asked Zhu Yuanzhang.
Zhu Yuanzhang shook his head and said: "Probably not. At first, Zhu Liangzu made a lot of half-price soaps to compete with Lao Er, but for some reason, he suddenly bought a large amount of soap directly from Lao Er."
"There must be something going on here. I've already asked someone to investigate. The results should be available soon."
After hearing this, Queen Ma became even more confused.
How could this small soap business be related to Zhu Liangzu? It was so complicated.
"Then why don't you just ask Ping'er? He must know something."
Queen Ma looked at Zhu Yuanzhang and said.
Zhu Yuanzhang said calmly: "It's better not to ask. This matter probably has something to do with Su Jing. I want to find out myself."
As long as it has something to do with Su Jing, Lao Zhu is no longer so calm.
"Heh, Chongba, do you know what you look like now?"
Queen Ma said with a sarcastic smile.
"like what?"
Zhu Yuanzhang asked immediately.
Queen Ma replied: "Like a fool who wants to do bad things but is afraid of being discovered."
Zhu Yuanzhang's face twitched, and he no longer knew what to say.
…
Yongjia Marquis Mansion.
Zhu Liangzu's soaps have all set off towards Shandong.
Now Zhu Liangzu is still immersed in joy. If this business is completed, it will be a huge sum of money!
"It's a pity that King Qin also made a fortune."
Zhu Liangzu said with regret.
He originally wanted to buy it at a low price, but Zhu Xiang's price was very aggressive and would not lower the price.
There was no way, time waited for no one, he could only buy it at the original price.
If you sell it to foreign businessmen, you can still make a lot of money even if you buy soap from Zhu Xi at the original price.
"Master Hou! Master Hou!"
The steward's urgent voice came over.
Zhu Liangzu looked at the panting housekeeper and said, "What's the matter? Are you in such a panic?"
The butler replied: "Reporting to the Marquis, King Qin has started selling soap at a low price, and the price is even lower than ours!"
What!
Zhu Liangzu was shocked!
Although he has a straight mind, he doesn't move much.
But I had just bought a large batch of soap from Zhu Xi, and as soon as it was shipped out, Zhu Xi immediately started selling it at a low price. There was no need to think about it, something must have happened!
"Are you sure it wasn't fake news spread by others? When we bought it before, didn't we refuse to lower the price?"
Zhu Liangzu asked unwillingly.
He bought Zhu Chong's soap. Although he divided it into several batches, each time it was a big order, so Zhu Cang still refused to lower the price.
How long has it been now?
This is a direct sale at a low price, even lower than their half price!
"Back to Lord Marquis, I didn't believe it at first. I went to several shops that were selling it and asked, but the result was the same. The soaps from Prince Qin's Mansion are now sold like crazy."
The butler wiped the sweat from his forehead and replied.
The housekeeper also realized that something was wrong, so he rushed to report it.
Zhu Liangzu's face condensed and he said: "Where are the two businessmen from before? Catch them quickly!"
Whether there is a problem with this matter or not, we still have to find the source of the rumors that the foreign businessmen collected the soap in the first place.
At that time, after Zhu Liangzu found the two people and confirmed the news, he did not release them immediately. Instead, he did not release them until he bought up a large number of soaps on the market.
"Yes, Lord Marquis."
The housekeeper didn't dare to delay and immediately took people to arrest the person.
Unfortunately, those two people were no longer able to be captured by Zhu Liangzu.
Prince Qin's Mansion.
Two people were kneeling in front of Zhu Xi. They were the two people who first spread the news about the foreign businessman's acquisition of soap.
"Reporting to King Qin, everything has been done according to your instructions."
The two of them said to Zhu Xi with great respect.
They are also very uneasy because they are really businessmen.
Zhu Fang didn't use any of his servants to pretend to be businessmen. Such a flaw would be too great. He found these two people from among the merchants.
"Very good, you have done a good job in this matter, and I will reward you heavily."
Zhu Xi said very satisfied.
But these two people were not very happy, because they knew from the time they were captured at the Yongjia Marquis Mansion that they were involved in a fight between big shots.
Although he was helping King Qin, he offended Marquis Yongjia.
"Please spare your life, King Qin!"
The two of them kowtowed to Zhu Xi, quite sincerely.
Zhu Ping said: "Don't worry, you are working for me, and I will ensure that you are safe. You will be in the Qin Palace these days, so there is no need to worry about your safety."
Zhu Ping knew what these two people were worried about, and of course he had arranged backup plans.
Even if Zhu Liangzu guessed that he did it, he would never have the guts to search Prince Qin's palace.
Now Zhu Xiang is no longer the second prince, but the King of Qin.
"Thank you, King Qin."
After the two thanked Zhu Xi, they were taken away.
"King Qin, King Jin and King Yan have been waiting in the side hall for a while."
The old housekeeper said to Zhu Xi from the side.
After seeing these two people, the old housekeeper probably understood what his master Zhu Xi had done.
This wave of operations also shocked the old housekeeper.
Zhu Ping actually did such an operation without his knowledge.
Even with Su Jing's guidance, it would be quite difficult to execute it perfectly.
"I see."
Zhu Xi stood up and walked towards the side hall.
In the side hall of Prince Qin's Mansion, Zhu Fan and Zhu Di had just sat there for a while, but they were both a little anxious.
They wanted to know how Zhu Ping got through this difficulty?
I thought Zhu Ping was just holding on, but I didn't expect the turn of events to come too quickly.
"Third brother, fourth brother, you've been waiting for a long time."
Zhu Ping's hearty laughter appeared, and he slowly walked up to the two of them.
"Second brother."
"Second brother."
Zhu Fan and Zhu Di stood up at the same time.
Zhu Xi said: "Sit down, let's be casual between us brothers."
The two sat down and Zhu Fan said, "Second brother, what is going on now? Isn't it time to tell us."
Zhu Ming had always been tight-lipped before and did not disclose any information.
Now that all of Zhu Xi's soaps have been sold, there should be no need to keep it secret.
"Okay, but where do you want to start?"
Zhu Xi nodded and said with a smile.
Zhu Di immediately said: "Of course we start with Mr. Su's teachings!"
From Zhu Di's perspective, Zhu Xi's soap business was like a war. Although there was no sword fight, there were constant confrontations.
Su Jing said when teaching Zhu Di that shopping malls are also battlefields.
Although Zhu Di was not interested in doing business, he was very interested in the art of war in business.
"Okay, then I'll start with Mr. Su's teachings."
Zhu Ping said: "Mr. Su set a small goal for me that day, which was to start a soap business. Then Mr. Su taught me how to make soap. I thought that the soap business was over, but I didn't expect that the soap was just the beginning. .”
"Second brother, what do you mean?"
Zhu Di wondered.
Zhu Xi said: "Fourth brother, don't worry, listen to me slowly. After Mr. Su taught me how to make soap, he told me that although soap is good, it has no technical content. If I can do it, others can do it, even if They are not as good as me, but as long as the price is low, it will be difficult for me to compete with them. By then, this soap business will probably not be big."
"I was very anxious at the time, and then Mr. Su taught me what to do next."
Having said this, Zhu Xi paused for a moment, and then continued: "I didn't expect that Mr. Su had expected everything, and that's how everything happened now."
Zhu Xi felt extremely emotional when he thought of everything he had experienced these days.
He suddenly felt like he understood his father, Zhu Yuanzhang, because Liu Bowen was also a military strategist who knew everything.
"Second brother, you mean that Mr. Su already knew that the soap business would be competed by others, and that others would lower their prices, and yet he still helped you sell all the soaps?"
Zhu Fan's face darkened slightly, and he stared at Zhu Xi and said.
"That's right, third brother, Mr. Su told me that if there is really competition, then the people I make money from will no longer be ordinary customers, but those merchants who pirate soap."
Zhu Xi replied.
Are pirate dealers the ones making money?
Zhu Fan and Zhu Di didn't quite understand at first. What is the connection between them?
Zhu Xi continued: "My big list is actually not for my own use, but for my previous competitors who used pirated soaps."
this?
"Why? Why would they buy Brother Er's soap?"
Zhu Di was puzzled: "Aren't they selling soap at half price? Wouldn't it be a loss if I buy it from you, my second brother?"
Zhu Fang smiled and said: "Not long ago, a foreign merchant ship docked on the coast of Shandong. You must have heard about it."
Foreign merchant ships!
Hearing this, Zhu Fan immediately reacted and said: "Second brother, you are saying that they buy your soap to sell to foreign businessmen at a high price!"
"By the way, third brother, you are really smart, so you will understand."
Zhu Qing admired.
When he was listening to Su Jing's teaching, he thought about it carefully before he understood it.
Zhu Fan continued: "Because of this foreign merchant ship, second brother, please directly find someone to release the news about the foreign caravan buying soap. Because of the long distance and time constraints, it is impossible to stock up on production. We can only buy soap on the market." Goods, in this case, second brother, your soap will be acquired."
"It's so wonderful! This plan is intertwined with each other, and it controls the thoughts of those businessmen!"
At this moment, Zhu Di also understood a little bit, but he was still confused: "But the docking of foreign merchant ships cannot be expected."
