After Zhu Yuanzhang left, the side hall was filled with cheers.
"Master, you scared me to death just now.”
Zhu Rong's tensed nerves slowly relaxed.
He had finally passed this stage.
Coincidentally, just as Zhu Yuanzhang stepped out of the door, Zhu Xi arrived at his side hall.
"Fifth Brother, did you get into trouble again?”
"However, I saw Father's happy face just now.”
Zhu Rong smiled calmly.
"Third brother, this is nothing. By the way, have you sold the batch of goods I asked you to sell?”
Zhu Rong continued.
"I sold it. This thing was a hot commodity. Those who could afford it were not short of money.”
"In just three days, those few hundred catties of goods were sold out. This is a total of six thousand strings of money."
"Fifth Brother, do you still have any goods? I've earned six thousand strings of money on this trip. This is more than my third brother's salary for a few years.”
"You don't know, Fifth Brother. After opening a residence, everyone has to spend money. This mansion of mine costs a few hundred taels of silver a month. That's all useless money."
Zhu Rong didn't open a residence, but he could imagine his third brother's predicament.
"Third brother, you can just put your heart in your stomach. Follow me, Fifth Brother, and I guarantee you'll have a good life. It's not even a matter of opening a residence."
The goods they were talking about were ebony.
This thing was a rare item.
In fact, it was the black wood formed by trees buried underground due to lack of oxygen.
Since ancient times, ebony had the effect of warding off evil spirits.
The price of ebony was high in every dynasty.
"There is. I'll bring you another batch later.”
Only then did Zhu Rong relax.
"Old Fifth, we know each other very well. Don't look for other people.”
Zhu Xiong chuckled. He knew that his third brother was cunning.
He had the ability, but how could a business person not have a bright mind?
Fortunately, Zhu Rong could control him.
Zhu Rong got a satisfactory answer and turned to leave.
But along the way, he kept muttering.
"Everyone says that Fifth Brother is ignorant and incompetent, but I don't think so. With his little brain, none of these eleven brothers were his match when it came to collecting money.”
"Tsk tsk, it's better to be careful. Don't let father find out.”
…………
To be a salted fish, one had to have the capital to be a idle fish.
At the end of the day, it was all about money.
However, Zhu Yuanzhang and Empress Ma were born into poverty. After they ruled the world, they were also thrifty and thrifty.
They were Zhu Yuanzhang's sons, and as princes, their monthly salary was very limited.
That Zhu Xi used the knowledge from his previous life to buy and sell ebony and made a fortune.
Other than that, Zhu Xiong had many other ways to earn money.
Using the 6,000 strings of money he earned from selling ebony, he bought a few hundred acres of land in the Ying Tian Prefecture and prepared to plant vegetables and fruit trees on a large scale.
It wouldn't be long before these could be sold for cash.
Then he could lie flat for a while longer.
………
At the same time.
After Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Biao left the side hall, they came to the garden.
It was April, and the temperature had risen again. The imperial garden was full of flowers and vitality.
Zhu Yuanzhang was not in the mood to appreciate it, but the joy on his face did not diminish at all.
"Boss, Fifth Brother is really a talent.”
"Iron-Blooded Troops, Snowy Dragon Cavalry, Fifth Brother is very thoughtful.”
Zhu Biao was also shocked.
"Father, I think so too.”
"Moreover, I don't know if you've noticed, Father, but Fifth seems to be ignorant and incompetent, but every time you catch him, he always says something shocking.”
Zhu Yuanzhang stroked his beard as if he was reminiscing.
"That's right. That time, when they skipped class and were caught by me, this guy actually said that there was a problem with the remonstrance letter that they were required to memorize. Old Fifth is still speaking clearly and logically."
"There was also that time when this brat plucked all the flowers in the imperial garden and planted some unknown plants. In the end, it actually produced delicious…tomatoes. Yes, it's a tomato."
"And the last time…"
All of this was revolving in Zhu Yuanzhang's mind.
He didn't think so in the past, but now that they had connected again, Old Zhu was very appreciative of this son of his.
At that time, it seemed like Zhu Xiong's actions were extremely infuriating, but in the end, it was attributed to this kid's brains and ability.
Bystanders see clearly.
Zhu Biao was the most accurate judge of character. With his reminder, Zhu Yuanzhang finally had an epiphany.
"This is really strange. This kid had the ability, but he didn't show it. Boss, tell me, is it because this kid is still young and uncertain?”
Zhu Biao nodded, seemingly agreeing with Zhu Yuanzhang.
"After all, No. 5 is only twelve years old. If given time, he will definitely be a pillar of our Ming Dynasty.”
Zhu Biao became more and more excited as he spoke.
His father was grooming him to be the successor of Ming Dynasty. It was an indisputable fact that the eldest son would inherit the throne.
Zhu Biao was not worried that his throne would be snatched away. Instead, he was overjoyed to have such an outstanding younger brother to assist him in the future.
Zhu Yuanzhang also agreed with Zhu Biao.
"Yes, he's young and unstable. It would be much better if someone were to take care of him. Unfortunately, Noble Consort Sun couldn't control this tiger boy.”
Zhu Biao had a flash of inspiration.
"Father, Fifth Brother has been like this since he was young. If he marries and has a wife to take care of him, it will probably be much better.”
Zhu Biao's words seemed to have untied the knot in Zhu Yuanzhang's heart.
"Motherf * cker, Boss, you are indeed the Crown Prince that we have nurtured. You are accurate in seeing things and your ideas are also strange. Looks like we have to change our minds."
Zhu Biao smiled.
Zhu Yuanzhang had originally wanted Zhu Di, but because of what Zhu Xiong had said and Zhu Biao's guidance.
The more he thought about it, the more he felt that Xu Da's daughter was the perfect match for his fifth brother.
"Tsk tsk, we can't control the fifth brother, but that Xu family's daughter is in charge. Haha, I don't believe that kid won't work hard.”
"I heard that the eldest daughter of the Xu family is very powerful. Old Xu was under his daughter's control.”
Zhu Biao knew that his father had gone back on his word.
"Fourth Brother has a fiery personality, and the daughter of the Xu family is also so powerful. If the two of them were to get married, wouldn't they quarrel?”
"So, Father has changed his mind.”
Zhu Yuanzhang laughed.
"It's decided then. Let Fifth marry the eldest daughter of the Xu family. This can be considered as giving the Xu family a lot of face. Even if Old Xu had made a great contribution, this could be considered a reward.”
Zhu Yuanzhang let out a long sigh, finally finding a solution.
Moreover, he could also use the eldest daughter of the Xu family to restrain Fifth Brother.
It was really killing two birds with one stone.
