Chapter 189

Zhu Yunxi asked: "20 yuan bought the right to sell the Hangzhou Mansion. It's really a big deal!"

Shen Rui said with her face down on the ground: "I want to report to the King of Wu, the little girl also sees profit... and also wants to do her best for His Highness... Please forgive me, Your Highness."

Zhu Yunxi said lightly: "If that's the case, let's manage the sales well, and please go back if you have nothing to do!"

Shen Rui lowered her head, bit her lips, took a deep breath and said, "Your Highness, my little girl still has more than [-] guan of money from her ancestors, and she is willing to dedicate all of it to His Highness for the prosperity of Ming Dynasty. Please, Your Highness." Complete!"

Zhu Yunxie glanced at her, "Your kindness is appreciated by the lonely king. Even if a gentleman loves money, he can get it in a proper way. The lonely king is not a person who steals by chance."

"Your Highness, forgive me! The little girl gave her voluntarily and she has no other intentions. I beg Your Highness to be gracious and accept her."

Zhu Yunxi raised a smile at the corner of his mouth, and said: "You must ask for something from people. You would rather spend all your wealth and donate it. Naturally, you have something to ask for. It's a pity that the lonely king is not a merchant. You have found the wrong person."

Shen Rui took a deep breath, and together with the money for purchasing the sales rights of Hangzhou Mansion Royal Wine, the total was more than [-] guan, which still couldn't impress him!
Shen Rui plucked up her courage and said: "My little girl definitely didn't mean that. I beg Your Highness to punish me. It's because my grandfather is getting old and his body is getting weaker. I'm afraid time is running out...Grandfather is very homesick and only wants to be able to go to his hometown at the end of his life." Take another look..."

Before he finished speaking, he choked up, and tears fell to the ground.

As soon as these words came out, Zhu Yunxi felt a little sad.

Thinking of my grandfather in the previous life, who suffered from illness for many years and passed away with regret...

It's a pity that I was too sick at that time, and the medicine was difficult to cure. As a junior, I also felt a lot of helplessness and reluctance.

Zhu Yunxi let out a long sigh in his heart.

It's a pity that I can't go back now, and I can't even sweep the tomb in Qingming...

I'm really ashamed.

After a long time, Zhu Yun said: "Wu Xing Shen, are you Shen Wansan's granddaughter?"

Shen Rui fell on the ground and her body shook violently, she swallowed a breath and said: "The girl is right, Your Highness has learned..."

Zhu Yunxi was also slightly surprised, not to mention how popular Shen Wansan was in history, but his age and the dynasty he lived in are a mystery!
There are three theories about his birth time, that is, he was born in [-], [-] and [-].

There is a difference of 34 years!
There are also two versions of the time of his death, which are 26 and Hongwu [-] years.

In "Wujiang County Chronicles" and in the epitaph of his son Shen Rong, as well as the words of his in-laws, it shows that he died long ago.

However, in the "Ming History", it is recorded that Shen Wansan built the city wall and wanted to reward the army.

"Historical History of the Ming Dynasty" in Hongwu, "the wealthy Shenxiu helped to build one-third of the capital. Please draft the army. Emperor Ren said: "Everyone drafts the army of the world and disturbs the people. It should be punished. Later, the ominous people, Heaven will punish him, how can your majesty punish him! It is Shixiu, Xu Yunan."

Zhu Yunxi couldn't help asking: "Is Shen Xiu still alive?"

Zhu Yunxi is the king of Wu with a distinguished status, so there is nothing wrong with calling him by his name directly.

So Shen Rui replied: "Reporting to Your Highness, my grandfather is still alive, but unfortunately he is weak and seriously ill..."

Shen Rui knew that His Royal Highness King Wu could not be moved by family affection alone, so she hurriedly said: "Your Highness, the uncles and brothers in the little girl's family have been doing business with their grandfather since childhood.

Later, the family has a little property, so I know a thing or two about such a cheap business as a merchant. If His Highness does not give up, I am willing to do my best for His Highness! "

Hearing this, Zhu Yunxi's heart moved slightly.

The scope of Shen Wansan's business is only in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and there are many restrictions due to his status as a businessman, but even so he can become a huge rich man!

If there are so many people like this, and the government is behind them...

Then on the territory of the Ming Dynasty, all the economic lifelines will be in their own hands!
At that time, you don't have to worry too much about the rich merchants in the forest, and you don't have to worry too much about their annexation of land and driving up prices!
And Daming will become more and more stable!

But thinking of something, Zhu Yunxi frowned, "Did your family become rich because of Tongfan?"

Tongfan does not mean colluding with foreign countries to murder Ming Dynasty, but refers to conducting trade transactions with foreign countries overseas.

You must know that Zhu Yuanzhang issued a "traffic ban on foreign vassals".

And part of Shen Wansan's huge family fortune comes from overseas trade!

According to "Wujiang County Chronicles", Shen Wansan continued to open up farms and houses on the one hand after he had a huge amount of money.
On the other hand, Zhouzhuang is used as a base for commodity trade and circulation, taking advantage of the convenience of the Baiyan River, also known as the Dongjiang River, which is connected to the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal in the west and the Liuhe River in the east.

Shipping silk, pottery, grain, and handicrafts from Jiangsu and Zhejiang to overseas, he started his bold foreign trade activities of "competing for wealth" and quickly became a man with "huge capital and lands all over the world". The richest man in Jiangnan.

Therefore, Shen Wansan took reclamation as the foundation and the distribution of wealth as the capital of his business. In the end, he made bold plans to conduct overseas trade and became a huge rich man.

Zhu Yunxi said again: "You must know that the imperial court has ordered to prohibit trade with foreign countries overseas, and this way of making money will not work for the time being."

Even though Zhu Yun is very envious of the business talents of the Shen family, he still needs to be cautious in the face of the national policies formulated by Zhu Yuanzhang!
Although Zhu Yun also knows the importance of overseas trade, but the meal must be eaten bite by bite, so there is no rush.

Shen Rui gritted her teeth and said: "Your Highness, even if there is no trade, there will still be a little surplus with the talents of the uncles... Please help me, Your Highness!"

Of course Zhu Yunxi understood what she meant.

For a visionary and courageous businessman, opportunity is important, but talent itself is also very important!

But Zhu Yunxi would not agree rashly.

And the reason why Zhu Yuanzhang exiled Shen Xiu, is there also a reason for the ban?

To catch him as a model is to make an example to others?
Moreover, who knows what Zhu Yuanzhang thinks about the Shen family at this time.

So Zhu Yunxi said: "You go back for a while, see off the guests!"

"Thank you His Highness King Wu!"

Shen Rui is also a smart person, knowing that His Highness needs to consider, she will not agree rashly, so she dare not insist.

After Shen Rui retreated, Zhu Yunxi frowned slightly.

"Tie Xuan, do you think the members of the Shen family are available?"

Tie Xuan thought for a while and replied: "Your Highness, the members of the Shen family are proficient in business and trade, and I feel that if they can be used by the Third Highness, it will definitely be helpful."

Zhu Yunxi nodded and said, "Then we need to weigh the pros and cons."

……

In the palace, Zhu Yuanzhang started the mode of hating grandson again.

"I heard that the winery bought by Yibin is yours?"

"It's Grandpa Huang!"

"Bought with money from the Ministry of Loan?"

"Yes, but my grandson has written an IOU and has returned all of them, and there is no further arrears."

"Has the golden jade liquid become the property of His Highness King Wu?"

"Grandfather Mingjian, all the uncles have a lot of property, such as restaurants, medicinal materials, cloth and leather goods, and so on. The grandson does not have this item!"

"You only pay one item! Even the combined property of your uncles is not as much as yours!"

Zhu Yuanzhang said dissatisfiedly: "You used the signboard of imperial wine! Who is the master in this palace?"

Zhu Yunxie said with a smile: "Of course it's the emperor's grandfather who made the decision! Who doesn't know that."
