Outside the Zhengyang Gate of Yingtian City, on the west bank of the Qinhuai River.
Although it was daytime, the traditional fireworks street was still bustling with activity.
Especially after Zhu Yuanzhang punished a group of corrupt officials, a large number of wives and daughters of criminals became prostitutes. This undoubtedly injected fresh blood into this street.
On the other hand, the street on the east bank of the Qinhuai River, which was the industrial park that had been built a few months ago, was lifeless.
Zhu Yuanzhang and the others stood at the entrance of a security guard. They looked at the female worker who walked out with displeasure on their faces.
Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't believe what he was seeing.
Depressed!
How bleak!
"This!"
"What's going on?"
Zhu Yuanzhang walked up to a female worker who was in a daze and asked directly,""What's wrong with you? You're off work already?”
"What does it have to do with you?"
"Are you here to stock up?"
"Make it clear that the workshop is on strike today. There's no stock!”
As soon as she finished speaking, the female worker took off her sleeve and left angrily.
Looking at such a rude female worker, Zhu Yuanzhang was so angry that his eyes were as big as an ox, and the corners of his mouth were trembling.
But he did not flare up immediately.
Compared to the little bit of anger he suffered, he was more unwilling, extremely unwilling.
He spent money to build a workshop and even gave some symbolic compensation to make this industrial park a street.
But what was the result?
He was here to enjoy the results!
On the way here, he thought of many scenarios.
The workers in the workshop should be working happily and happily.
The restaurants, tea shops, and snack bars on the streets should also be doing well.
Even if he didn't catch up to the industrial park in Yanmen County immediately, it should be quite close.
Then, whenever Director Zhu sat in any teahouse, he would hear words like 'His Majesty is wise.'
Then, as a foreign businessman, he would ask the obvious what the emperor was thinking.
The commoners and shop owners spoke well of the Emperor as if they were speaking well of Ye Qing.
Awesome!
This feeling was simply too good!
However, he never expected this!
After he arrived here, all he saw was a desolate scene.
Compared to the fireworks industry street across the river, the industrial park street he built was a dead street!
"Chongba, don't be angry."
"There's a tea shop there. Let's go and inquire about the situation.”
"Shopkeeper, why isn't there even a waiter? The tables and stools are all covered in dust.”
Before Zhu Yuanzhang could ask, Empress Ma asked with a smile.
Compared to Zhu Yuanzhang,
Empress Ma and Zhu Biao were much more meticulous.
Actually, they didn't need to ask to know that the dust on the table meant that business was not good!
If business was not good, how could he have the money to hire a waiter?
Fortunately, Empress Ma was polite enough. Coupled with her magnanimous and kind face, although the shopkeeper was in a bad mood, he was willing to chat with her.
As the shopkeeper poured tea for the three of them, he said with a despairing expression,
"Business is so bad that I'm about to lose my underwear. How can I have the money to hire a waiter?”
"You guys are here to stock up, right?"
"I advise you, don't think it's too far, and don't think it's too troublesome.”
"The quality of the goods there is good, and the delivery is fast. Moreover, the attitude is good. I guarantee that you will make a profit.”
"You know about the Yanmen County Industrial Park?" Empress Ma asked in surprise.”
The shopkeeper only smiled faintly.”
"Because this industrial park was built by His Majesty, it was built in less than two months.”
"However, after some investigation, I discovered that it was just a facade.”
"Not only is their attitude bad, but they are also slow to ship. The quality is not even a little bit worse than Yanmen Industrial Park.”
"In less than a month, there's no business here.”
"Now, these bosses can't even pay their wages. The workshop opposite is on strike!”
At this point,
The shopkeeper sighed helplessly,""Without business travelers, the workers can't earn money. We, who run restaurants and teahouses, are also losing money!”
"I won't charge you for these cups of tea. After you finish drinking, hurry to Yanmen County!”
At this point, the shopkeeper went to do his own thing.
Humph!
At this moment,
Zhu Yuanzhang was so angry that he directly stepped out.
Tea?
How could he be in the mood to drink tea?
Walking on the street,
Looking at the fallen leaves drifting in the wind, he imagined the cleaners on the main road of Yanmen County's industrial park.
Looking at the desolate scene in front of him, he imagined the prosperous scene of the Yanmen County Industrial Park.
Suddenly,
He stopped and looked up at the archway that was even more luxurious than the gate of the Yanmen County Industrial Park.
On the archway across the street was an exquisitely crafted plaque.
It was written with his own handwriting, Yingtian City Industrial Park. The signature was also a private seal with his name.
In other words, there was already a spider web on his private seal!
As he read, he suddenly felt his face hurt.
His face hurt!
"Men!"
"Get someone to tear it down for us!"
"Immediately, immediately, tear down this archway!”
As soon as he finished speaking,
He walked to the river alone in a huff.
? Seeing this, Mao Xiang and the others were extremely worried, afraid that he would do something stupid.
Empress Ma immediately stopped Mao Xiang and the others from chasing after them.
She wasn't worried about this at all. Old Zhu wasn't that fragile.
It was an undeniable fact that he had been hit.
However, he would not do anything stupid.
Just like that, the group of people followed him to the riverside.
Looking at the bustling street of fireworks across the street, Zhu Yuanzhang laughed at himself again.
"Why?"
"The industrial park we built can't even compare to the fireworks alley across the street?”
At this moment, Empress Ma walked to his side.
In fact, she had already expected the industrial park to fail.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have raised his doubts in the palace.
After chatting with the shopkeeper, she had basically grasped the reason for the failure.
"Because it's just a facade!" Empress Ma said lightly.”
"You bitch!"
Zhu Yuanzhang was speechless, but he was not brainless.
Although he didn't want to admit it, it was the truth.
The quality can't compare.
The speed of shipping couldn't compare.
The service attitude was not as good.
Wasn't this just a facade?
A moment later,
Zhu Yuanzhang's fighting spirit was ignited again."We will leave tomorrow morning and go to Yanmen County.”
"We have to find out where we lost!”
As soon as he finished speaking, Zhu Yuanzhang decisively turned back.
Empress Ma and Zhu Biao could not understand what was going on.
How could an emperor compete with his subjects?
If he was promoted to the capital, wouldn't it be over if he did it?
