Zhou Ji was anxious.
"Father, if this doesn't work and that doesn't work, then what should we do? Could it be that he could only watch the old master change his heir?”
"Whether we can be glorious in the future depends on our eldest nephew, Zhu Yunwen!”
"If we can't use force, why can't we use soft tactics?" Zhou Dexing snorted.”
"Bring me the golden seal!"
"Father, you want to rebel?" Zhou Ji suddenly trembled.”
The Zhou family had a golden seal, which was the imperial seal of the Yuan Dynasty. When he and Zhu Di attacked Dadu, they had stolen it and kept it for themselves.
After that, Zhu Yuanzhang also sent people to look for it, but after failing, the matter was left unsettled.
Zhou Dexing's face twitched as he stared at his son. To be honest, if this wasn't his son, he really wanted to kick him to death.
A hundred heads wasn't enough, and he still wanted to rebel?
With the old master alive, no one could turn the world upside down!
"Are you an idiot?" Zhou Dexing said angrily," Go and think of a way to send this golden seal to Boss.”
"Not many people can recognize this golden seal. Once it's discovered by the old master, even if he doesn't die, he'll lose a layer of skin!”
"No matter how good Boss's impression is in the old man's heart, when he sees this golden seal, he will probably be wary of Boss.”
This was called killing without a trace.
He, Zhou Dexing, was not only good at fighting wars. He was also very cunning. Otherwise, why didn't anyone expose him when he embezzled so much of the disaster relief funds every year?
"Dad, this is our family heirloom!" Zhou Ji said with some heartache. Didn't you often say that when so many people attacked the capital, they were all looking for this golden seal?”
"We can keep this golden seal and pass it on to our ancestors.”
"Why don't we change something?"
Zhou Dexing's face revealed a vicious look."This small matter is nothing. As long as Zhu Yunwen ascends to the throne, we can get more than this. Don't be greedy for small profits.”
"Alright, you can go now. Find an opportunity to hand the golden seal to Boss.”
"Once the old man finds out, Boss 'good days will come to an end!" Zhou Dexing narrowed his eyes.”
Zhou Ji still felt a little heartache, but since his father had said so, he couldn't refute. He nodded and said,"Good! I'll do it now!"
……
Last night the wind blew and the rain fell.
The rain in the Ying Tian Prefecture was much lighter today.
Zhu Huai walked Zhu Yuanzhang to the door with an umbrella.
The old man slept soundly last night and smiled at Zhu Huai."Child, let's go back and settle things.”
Zhu Huai nodded.”
Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand and left with a face full of happiness.
This scene was secretly seen by Zhou Ji not far away.
Zhou Ji opened his mouth in shock.
"Is the relationship between the old master and this kid already so good?”
In his impression, the old man was not an easy person to get along with. He had never been so kind to his son and grandson.
Zhou Ji sucked in a breath of cold air. No wonder his father's expression was so solemn. It turned out that things had already developed to this extent!
How was this the appearance of a monarch and minister? This was clearly a casual scene when the grandfather and grandson parted for a short time.
"No, I have to speed up.”
Zhou Ji said to the person next to him," Go. It's that little Langjun. Go and inform him. Hurry up."”
After giving his instructions, he walked to the Salt Mountain alone.
……
Zhu Huai had just bid farewell to the yellow-haired old man and was about to turn around and enter the mansion when he saw a servant walk over.
"Are you Zhu Langjun?" the servant asked respectfully.”
"Yes?" Zhu Huai nodded.
The servant boy said," Our master wants to buy salt at the Salt Mountain. He didn't bring any money with him. He brought a piece of gold, so it's difficult to deliver it at the moment. Langjun, why don't you go and take a look and think about whether you can sell some salt?"”
The common equivalent of the Ming Dynasty was silver and Tong Bao. Of course, the Ming Bao notes were also invented during the Hongwu period. However, the Ming Bao notes were still in their infancy and were not widely circulated yet.
As for gold, generally speaking, if it was small, it could be traded. If it was bigger, it would depend on whether the seller was willing to use gold to trade.
Zhu Huai thought about it and nodded.”
Although the other party didn't say how much gold it was, if it could make Fang Laowu of Salt Mountain unable to make a decision, it must mean that the gold was worth a lot.
Not long after, Zhu Huai brought the servant to the foot of the Salt Mountain.
The workshop at Salt Mountain was already built. Zhu Huai strode to the main hall.
Zhou Ji was already waiting for Zhu Huai here. When he saw Zhu Huai, he cupped his hands and said,"Zhu Langjun? I've long heard of you, Great Ming."
Zhu Huai also knew that the other party was just making small talk. He did not slap a smiling person. He cupped his hands and said,"You're welcome."
Zhou Ji didn't waste any time and went straight to the point."Just now, the servants at home told Zhu Langjun about it.”
He took out a palm-sized piece of gold from his pocket. The gold was square and had Mongolian characters written on the bottom.
Zhu Huai still couldn't understand Mongolian.
"To be honest, this piece of gold is too valuable. Otherwise, Langjun wouldn't have to come here personally.”
Zhu Huai nodded and reached out to take it.
Gold was very heavy.
Zhu Huai said to the outside,"Men, bring me the scale."”
Zhou Ji hurriedly stopped him." Take your time. Langjun, you don't have to be so polite. I believe in your credibility."”
"A gentleman cannot stand without his word. Langjun will not ruin his reputation by managing such a large salt mountain.”
"Don't be polite with me. Just tell me how much it's worth and how much salt you can give me.”
The other party's sudden enthusiasm made Zhu Huai hesitate.
However, Zhu Huai was not a kind person. He knew that bargaining was necessary in doing business. He pretended to be in a difficult position."The circulation of this gold is not high. Such a large piece of gold can only be kept as a collection for future generations.”
Even a fool could tell that this was a good item.
Zhou Ji's face lit up and he hurriedly nodded.""Right, right. This thing can definitely be worshipped in a place where it's eye-catching. I heard that it can ensure one's safety and future.”
Zhu Huai agreed and then said,"300 jin?"”
"What?" Zhou Ji was stunned.
"Three hundred catties of salt?" Zhu Huai probed.”
Zhou Ji's face twitched.
F * ck, you dog, are you trying to trick me like I'm a fool?
This gold was at least 20 catties, and each catty was at least 70 to 80 taels of silver. Putting aside its collection value, it was worth at least 1,500 taels of silver.
1500 taels of silver, I can buy you 3000 catties of salt!
You're giving me 300 catties?
Why are you such a dog?
Looking at your meek and humble appearance, why is your heart so evil?
Zhou Ji took a deep breath and said,"This doesn't make sense, does it?" Isn't it a little too little?"
Zhu Huai handed the golden seal to him.”
Zhu Huai wasn't short of money. The circulation of this gold was small to begin with. Even if he kept it as a collection, it would be flashy and flashy after he got it.
Hiss!
Dog! What a dog! I'll endure it!
Zhou Ji's face twisted.
