Chapter 11 The expanding Shen Wanqian!
"stand up!"
Zhu Jun helped Niu Wuliu up, "You have to recruit more soldiers from the palace. Be sure to be loyal, preferably veterans!"
He felt that Yingtian was not safe. Although those people dared not attack him openly, what if the other party used a secret move?
Just like this time, he was buried in the Xu family's ancestral tomb, and he died in vain even if he died. It is still unknown.
"It's Your Highness!" Niu Wuliudao.
"Qinghe, please put some clothes on the remaining silk and satin, and then find a few old moms to come and serve you." Zhu Jun said.
"No need for Your Highness, Qinghe has clothes!" Qinghe whispered: "Your Highness, although we have money now, we still need to save some money."
"Okay, you will be my little housekeeper in the future, but you have to learn this trick well!"
Qinghe's excited little face turned red, "Thank you, Your Highness!"
......
At the same time, Cai Wen ran into the palace smoothly.
In Fengtian Hall, Lao Zhu is reviewing the twists and turns.
In the third year of Shenwu, Lao Zhu stipulated that the court meetings should be held twice in one month, and once in the first day of the lunar month and once in the fifteenth day of the lunar month.
On weekdays, he would review memorials here crazily, sometimes until late at night.
If Zhu Yu is here, he can help him share a lot of work.
"Long live the emperor, Cai Wen, Minister of Works, asked for a meeting!" said the eunuch Wang Gou'er.
Zhu Yuanzhang put down his pen, "Xuan!"
Wang Gou'er quickly jogged over, "Xuan Cai Wen's visit!"
Soon, Cai Wen came in, bowed and kowtowed three times, "I am accused Cai Wen, see Your Majesty!"
"Why are you running into the palace for not supervising the worker outside the city?"
Cai Wen smiled bitterly and replied: "Your Majesty, the city wall outside Yingtian Mansion has been completed. To be precise, the piece built by Shen Wanqian was completed this morning."
A trace of surprise flashed in Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes, "So quickly? Then the paragraph I asked you to supervise is completed?"
Cai Wen said: "Your Majesty, Shen Wanqian is a huge wealthy man who spent a lot of money to build the city wall to hire workers. The number of people is far greater than that of the Ministry of Works. Now it has been completed. Please ask Your Majesty to inspect and accept it."
"What a great Shen Wanqian." Zhu Yuanzhang said: "I really gave us a big surprise!"
Zhu Yuanzhang felt extremely upset when he remembered the bet he made with Shen Wanqian.
However, he didn't know how to say anything when he paid and worked. Although he hated profiteers, Shen Wanqian was okay.
"Go and go and have a look!"
Zhu Yuanzhang didn't even care about the memorials at this moment, and then walked away, saying to Cai Wen: "You go with us too. Let's see what is the difference between what you supervised and what Shen Wanqian is doing!"
He mobilized more than 200,000 people in Yingtian City Wall.
He is not as good as Shen Wanqian.
Cai Wen heard Zhu Yuanzhang's anger and hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, it's not that I am lazy and lazy, but that Shen Wanqian bought away the materials for the construction of the city at a high price in order to complete the construction of the city wall as soon as possible."
Hearing this, Zhu Yuanzhang became even more angry. You, the Minister of Works, could not grab a businessman?
I'm still making a fuss about it here!
He pressed his fire, expressionless, "Go and see!"
Cai Wen didn't dare to say anything more and hurriedly followed.
Soon, Zhu Yuanzhang arrived at the city wall.
The entire Yingtian City Wall is about fifty miles long, with the lowest point being nearly five meters and the highest point being nearly seven meters.
It is the world's number one city wall.
This is also Zhu Yuanzhang's plan ahead and is afraid of failure in the war.
With this tall city wall, you can hold on to it for at least half a year.
Of course, he has always had the courage to swallow the world. In another two years, he will definitely push Chen Han and Da Zhou to the ground to rub.
He looked at the majestic city walls, which were built incredibly exquisitely, and even there were patterns on each wall tiles.
After getting on the city wall, I could see the entire Yingtian Mansion.
At this time, Chen Wanqian was already waiting here.
He was over 40 years old and looked particularly smart. His square face, beard and chest were seen. When he saw Zhu Yuanzhang, he hurriedly knelt on the ground, "The grass-roots kowtow to Your Majesty!"
"Flat!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Chen Wanqian quickly stood up, and then couldn't wait to say, "The Caomin did not disappoint His Majesty's expectations and built the city wall as scheduled. Please accept it!"
"Cai Wen, have you accepted it?"
"I have reported to Your Majesty, I have accepted it, there is no problem." Cai Wen said.
"Okay." Zhu Yuanzhang said: "Chen Wanqian, you have won us. Tell me what reward you want!"
Chen Wanqian was waiting for this moment. What he wanted to do the most was of course the imperial merchant.
To settle for the second best, that is, to want Lao Zhu to protect his descendants.
Although it is good to have money, someone in the court needs to be even more needed.
Although he won Zhu Yuanzhang at this time and received Zhu Yuanzhang's praise, his heart couldn't help but feel a little inflated and a little fluttering.
But he did not forget to be modest.
It is difficult to get what you ask for, but it is easier to get what you take the initiative to reward. "The grass people dare not ask for rewards. These are what the grass people should do as a great cause!"
"We have always been clear about rewards and punishments. You have spent a lot of money to build these more than ten miles of city walls. It is unreasonable to not reward them!" Zhu Yuanzhang thought for a while and said, "We heard that you have a son named Shen Dabao, so you go to the prince's side and be a sermon. Read with me!"
The prince is reading with him?
Chen Wanqian was overjoyed. No matter how rich he was, he would die of old age.
The career you created will eventually be left to your son.
"The Caomin gave thanks to His Majesty instead of the dog son!" Chen Wanqian thanked him very much.
Zhu Yuanzhang said meaningfully: "This is what you deserve. Be a businessman with duty and don't be that profiteer!"
"The people of the grass should remember it in their hearts."
Zhu Yuanzhang also knew very well that the reason why Chen Wanqian worked so hard was nothing more than to curry favor with him.
Chen Wanqian is a good person to make money. The emperor is rich all over the world, but he has no money and life is not easy.
So, he suppressed his anger and wanted to leave this sank to Zhu Yu.
In the future, Zhu Yu would use money, so he could do it from Chen Wanqian.
After saying that, he was about to leave, and at this time, Chen Wanqian said again: "The Caomin specially prepared a long live banquet for His Majesty. Please give him a look!"
He is a businessman and likes to talk about things at the dinner table the most, but he forgets that Zhu Yuanzhang is the emperor.
Zhu Yuanzhang sneered in his heart. He was very jealous of himself and wanted to sit at the same table with him. This made him, who had originally suppressed his anger, angry again.
"Okay, lead the way!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Chen Wanqian was overjoyed and took a secret look at Cai Wen.
Cai Wen also winked at him.
Soon, he arrived at a unique and quiet yard. After Wang Gouer tested all the dishes for poison, Zhu Yuanzhang took his seat.
"Sit down!" Zhu Yuanzhang said.
Chen Wanqian felt that everything was decided, and Shen Dabao was named a prince's companion, thinking that Zhu Yuanzhang regarded him as his own person, so he shirked him and actually sat down.
Cai Wen also sat down, but he dared to be halfway.
Seeing Chen Wanqian take his seat, he didn't think it was inappropriate.
After Chen Wanqian poured wine for Zhu Yuanzhang, he introduced the dishes on the table to Zhu Yuanzhang in detail.
Talk and laugh, referring to classics, Zhu Yuanzhang's face was full of smiles.
