Mixed with salted fish in Hongwudang

Chapter 369 What does the emperor mean?

When Zhu Yunxi heard that Lao Zhu had even inquired about the transportation method, he covered his head with a quilt in embarrassment and pretended to be snoring.

"Huh...huh..."

Seeing that Da Sun was pretending to sleep with him, Lao Zhu couldn't let him go so easily, so he slapped his butt hard.

"Ow..."

Zhu Yunxi yelled in response, and as soon as he yelled, he saw Lao Zhu's big face close to him.

"How dare you pretend not to sleep!"

"Grandfather, please forgive me, my grandson dare not..."

Old Zhu laughed a few times when he heard the words, and then taught with a straight face.

"Everything we tell you is serious, how dare you ignore it?"

"No……"

"No shit!"

Angrily, Lao Zhu slapped the big grandson's butt again, making the little Nisun yelp, and then resentfully stopped him.

"This time I give you a small warning, don't mess around in the future!"

"oh oh……"

When Zhu Yunxi heard this, he knew why he was imprisoned in Jinyiwei Prison.

Dare to love Grandpa Huang because he sold "iron sheets".

But I can't blame myself for this, the second and fifth uncles paid all the money, so it's a bit unreasonable for me not to deliver the goods!
Seeing that Dasun's words were nice, but Lao Zhu still had a disapproving expression on his face, he couldn't help but get angry.

If it weren't for the fact that he had just been beaten during the day, he would have dragged him off the bed, pressed him to the ground and beat him hard.

"Do you think we're making a fuss out of a molehill?"

"Hmm... ah... no, Grandpa Huang's sage can see through the fire, how can grandson dare to slander him!"

Old Zhu raised his slaps at first, but when he heard Dasun's flattery behind him, he put them down with a smile.

"You!"

"You little rebellious grandson, all rely on your clever mouth. If you didn't have this clever mouth, we would have sent you to the sky, hehehe..."

Lao Zhu laughed a few times, gently tugged Da Sun's little ear, and started the storytelling mode.

"Do you know why we don't let you sell armor randomly?"

"do not know!"

"Let me tell you, when we were in Haozhou City, we met your great-grandfather Guo Zixing..."

"Is it Grandma Guo's father?"

"Yes!"

"At that time, Haozhou City was divided into several groups. We advised your great-grandfather several times to let him move out of Haozhou City with his troops, and attack other places to seek great things."

"However, your great-grandfather just refused to listen. Not only did he not listen, but he also detained the rebels we worked so hard to recruit."

"In the end, we came out of Haozhou City with 24 brothers alone, captured Dingyuan along the way, went south to Chuzhou, and captured Yingtianfu..."

"Do you know why we are?"

When Zhu Yunxi listened to Lao Zhu's story, he felt like he was listening to a scripture from heaven.

No wonder the old man has such a temper, dare to be so capable when he was young.

Dare to conquer the world with only a dozen or so people?

Now hearing Lao Zhu's sudden question, Zhu Yunxi said in a tentative tone based on his own experience of being beaten.

"Is it because of the armor?"

As soon as Zhu Yunxi finished speaking, he felt a severe pain in his back.

It turned out that the old man was so emotional that he subconsciously patted himself on the back!
"Correct!"

"Although we only brought 24 people with us back then, everyone wore heavy armor!"

"Armor has such a great effect, can it make you one against ten?"

Old Zhu laughed when he heard this.

"Our silly grandson is not only counting one as ten, but also counting one as a hundred!"

"Let me tell you this, in an ordinary rebel army, even 1000 people may not be able to have a pair of armor!"

"If you have ten guards in armor and a weapon in hand, you can chase 1000 people and fight them!"

"This……"

Zhu Yunxi was dumbfounded when he heard this. He never thought that the ancient armor would be so effective.

Seeing Dasun's reaction like this, Zhu Yuanzhang thought Dasun didn't believe it.

"Don't believe it?"

Zhu Yunxi shook his head when he heard the words.

"It's not that I don't believe it, it's that I don't dare to believe it..."

Zhu Yuanzhang laughed again when he heard the words.

"Why don't we have someone give you a drill another day, so that you can see the difference between wearing armor and not wearing armor?"

"Uh-huh……"

"Grandfather, if the future battlefield is no longer about swords, guns, swords and halberds, but extremely powerful firecrackers, and armor can no longer block the projectiles of firecrackers, then there is no need to ban armor?"

When Lao Zhu heard the words, he immediately thought of the fire stick made by Ni Sun. It is said that it is quite powerful, it can hit quite a distance, and its accuracy is much better than the previous fire stick.

But Lao Zhu has always been ignorant of this, a firecracker is a firecracker, how far can it go?
And with that slender gun barrel, if the gunpowder is put too much, it will be blocked, so how powerful can it be.

But since Dasun asked this way, he had no choice but to bite the bullet and explain a few words.

"That is a future matter!"

"If you can really make a powerful firecracker that can pierce through the armor at once, then you can naturally prevent the armor."

"But on the other hand, you should have banned firearms then."

"In short, if you want to maintain the stability of the dynasty, you must hold the most powerful thing in the hands of the court, and maintain enough deterrent power against the barbarians from all directions, so that they dare not despise our Ming Dynasty!"

Zhu Yunxi tilted his head and thought for a while, and suddenly found that what Grandpa Huang said made sense.

Whether it is the Ming Dynasty or the later generations, it seems that the government has to control something, so as to ensure its own rule.

"Grandfather, grandson understands!"

"Don't worry, grandson won't give it to anyone who is the most important weapon of the country!"

"hope so!"

Lao Zhu was completely speechless about his family's rebellious grandson, and his mind was full of how to make money.

"You rebellious grandson, if you were given enough money, you might be able to sell us..."

Zhu Yunxi laughed when he heard the words.

"How can it be!"

"It is said among the people that if there is a treasure in a family, it is like an old man..."

Seeing his grandson praising him so much, Lao Zhu was so happy that he couldn't see his eyes.However, when I thought about it, I suddenly felt that something was wrong, this Ni Sun purposely said the wrong thing!
"Rebellious grandson!"

"That's like a family with an old man, like a treasure!"

"We are treasure!"

Seeing that Lao Zhu had noticed it so quickly, Zhu Yunxi laughed happily.

"Wow, you are so smart, have you heard this all the time?"

Lao Zhu stretched out his big hand and waved it threateningly in front of Ni Sun.

"Ni Sun, what do you think this is?"

"Forgive me!"

"It's late, hahaha!"

Not long after, there was a rhythmic "wow" sound from the senior cell, which frightened the two bastards in the next ward so that they didn't dare to breathe.

"Father hasn't finished beating his grandson yet?"

"Who knows, crying for a while and laughing for a while, it's really moody..."

While the two were talking, they suddenly heard the "creaking" sound of the iron door.When the two heard the sound, they quickly lay down on the bed and snored.

Old Zhu pushed open the cell where the two Nizi were being held, and saw that the two Nizi were sleeping soundly, so he immediately said to Jin Yiwei who was beside him.

"Since these two bad guys like it very much, let's shut it up for half a month before we talk about it!"

When the two heard this, they begged for mercy.

"Father, please forgive me, the environment in this place is too bad, I can't stay here for a moment!"

Lao Zhu closed the cell door as if he didn’t hear anyone else, but when he left the prison, his footsteps became extremely brisk, and he hummed a Fengyang ditty, which was enough to prove that the old man was still in the same mood when he saw his two sons slumped. very pleasant.

After Lao Zhu left, a few more people came into the cell.

Erhu and Qin Deshun all came to visit him, and even changed him into a brocade quilt, and even replaced the toilet in the cell with one from the palace.

Concubine Guo Hui also led Concubine Han and Concubine Yang over to take a look. Concubine Han and Concubine Yang cried in Zhu Yunxi's cell before going to the next door to teach their two rebellious sons a lesson.

Only Concubine Guo Hui was left to settle accounts with Zhu Yunxi.

Really settle accounts, there is no other meaning.

"Yunxi, the Minggang Chamber of Commerce has a lot of business recently. When I went to check the accounts, I saw several transactions of 10 taels..."

Concubine Guo Hui is the vice president of the Minggang Chamber of Commerce and has the right to check the accounts at any time.

Now the government-run workshops of the Ministry of Industry are useless, and the steel production of the Ming Steel Chamber of Commerce under Zhu Yunxi's name accounts for more than half of Daming's.

Moreover, this data is still increasing.

Once the Ma'anshan Iron and Steel Plant is officially put into operation, the steel production of Minggang Chamber of Commerce will increase several times.

Recently, Lao Zhu wanted the vassal kings to go to Beijing to perform martial arts, and the vassal kings from all over the country were working hard to purchase weapons and armor, which caused the Minggang Chamber of Commerce's business to skyrocket.

Although the Ming Steel Chamber of Commerce did not dare to blatantly sell ordnance and armor, it could sell iron and accessories without any scruples.

For example, the blank of the waist knife, as long as you buy it back and forge it, it will be a good knife.There are also iron wires and iron sheets used in weaving armor, and they can also sell them.

As for horseshoes and the like, they are related to people's livelihood, and the court's laws can't control them.

Therefore, the vast majority of the 30 taels of silver saved by Zhou Wang Zhu Xi's frugality went into Zhu Yunxi's treasury.

"Grandma Guo, Uncle Wang is taking care of all these income..."

Concubine Guo Hui was suddenly furious when she heard the words, she stretched out her slender fingers, and poked Zhu Yunxi's forehead vigorously.

"You are too daring, if they dare to buy, you dare to sell!"

"I don't think I'm an outsider. If I sell it, I will sell it..."

"By the way, Uncle Eleven also bought a lot..."

Concubine Guo Hui was at a loss for words when she heard this, because the so-called eleventh uncle was the eldest son of Zhu Chun, king of Shu in Ming Dynasty.

"Cough cough..."

"Your eleventh uncle is different from other people, you still have to be wary of other king uncles..."

Seeing Concubine Guo Hui say this, Zhu Yunxi laughed.

"Grandson naturally knows that Uncle Eleven is different from other people, so everyone pays first and goods later, and only Uncle Eleven can pay on credit!"

"Credit?"

Concubine Guo Hui frowned reflexively when she heard that someone dared to pay on credit.Then he thought it was his own son, and his brows gradually relaxed again.

"Cough cough..."

"The land of Shu is narrow, the people's livelihood is poor, and the mountain people are still cunning, and refuse to accept the teachings of the dynasty, so you don't have to hurry to urge your eleventh uncle to pay for the goods, just deduct from the dividends from the palace..."

No matter how wise Concubine Guo Hui is, when it comes to her own son, she will inevitably feel partial.

"It's fine for the two of us to know about it, and you don't need to tell your grandpa!"

"Uh-huh!"

"Grandma Guo, don't worry, grandson won't tell anyone!"

Concubine Guo Hui happily patted Zhu Yunxie's little face when she heard this.

"It's so cute!"

"It's not in vain that I hurt you!"

Concubine Guo Hui finished complimenting Zhu Yunxi, then got up and said.

"Come!"

"Let Grandma Guo see how Zhu Yuanzhang beat you up. If I break you, see if I don't fight him hard when I go back!"

"Don't...it's okay..."

Concubine Guo Hui laughed when she saw Zhu Yunxi like this.

"You little hozen, we haven't seen anywhere when we were young, how old are you to learn to be shy?"

As Concubine Guo Hui said this, she lifted the gauze covering Zhu Yunxi's buttocks.

When she saw the two red buttocks, Liu Mei immediately raised her eyebrows.

"Zhu Yuanzhang!"

"You have suffered a thousand knives, let's see how I deal with you when I go back!"

"Yunxi, you are born here to recuperate, Grandma Guo will go back and vent your anger on you!"

Concubine Guo Hui walked out angrily, and when she passed by the cell next door, she kicked her with a "bang".

"Don't be mourned!"

"Hurry up and follow me back to the palace, vent your anger on Xiao Xie's behalf!"

When Concubine Han and Concubine Yang heard this, they hurriedly covered their son with gauze, and followed Concubine Guo Hui back to the palace, crying.

Concubine Guo Hui returned to the palace angrily, and immediately ordered someone to lock the door of the harem.

However, after Concubine Guo Hui gave the order, the eunuch guarding the gate did not move.

Seeing this, Concubine Guo Hui roared angrily.

"Is this palace's words useless?"

"Lock!"

"Back to Concubine Hui, the emperor has already entered Concubine Han's palace..."

"what?"

Concubine Guo Hui was dumbfounded when she heard this, and never thought that Lao Zhu would predict her prediction.

"This damn Goryeo lowly maidservant dared to hook up with the emperor, let's see how I punish her tomorrow!"

Concubine Guo Hui saw that Lao Zhu had slipped into the harem, so she stopped ordering people to lock the door.

She is playing petty, and she will never embarrass the emperor because of her petty temper, let alone delay the important affairs of the court.

In Concubine Han's palace, Lao Zhu embraced the beauty of Gaoli, listening to Qin Deshun's report outside the account.

"My lord, as you expected, Concubine Hui ordered someone to lock the door when she came back from Beizhen Fusi. I heard that you have already stayed in Concubine Han's Palace, so I gave up the idea of ​​locking the door!"

Old Zhu laughed triumphantly when he heard this.

"Is that bitch mad?"

"No way!"

"According to the little eunuch's report, Concubine Hui's face turned green with anger, and she threatened to punish Concubine Han tomorrow!"

Concubine Han, who was lying in Lao Zhu's arms, turned pale with fright when she heard this.

"My lord, you'd better go back, or Elder Sister Guo can beat the concubine to death..."

Hearing this, Lao Zhu hugged the little beauty of Korea tightly, nonchalantly.

"We're not dead yet, what are you afraid of that woman?"

When Concubine Han heard what Lao Zhu said, she immediately felt a lot more at ease.

"My lord, what pose do you plan to play today?"

Old Zhu sighed secretly when he heard the words.

"We're tired today..."

Concubine Han let out an "oh" with a face full of disappointment, and then she heard the emperor's addition, and she immediately burst into joy.

"Although we are tired, you can take the initiative..."

"What does the emperor mean?"

With a smirk on his face, Lao Zhu grabbed Concubine Han's body, stretched out his big palm-like hand, and slapped Concubine Han's ass heavily.

"Climb up... move yourself..."
