By the time Wu Liang, the Marquis of Jiangyin, arrived at Qing Zhou, the manor was already packed up.
Towards the arrival of Marquis Jiangyin, Zhu Rong was also startled.
This cheap father-in-law of his actually traveled thousands of miles to run all the way from Ying Tian Prefecture to Qing Zhou!
After knowing the purpose of his visit, Zhu Rong didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
Never would he have thought that the mighty Marquis Jiangyin would actually run to Qingzhou to build a house for him!
Wasn't this a little useless?
Although the manor where the Fan Wang lived was not small and cost a lot. However, it was not to the extent of letting the Marquis of Jiangyin come personally.
For a moment, he didn't think about the relationship between building a house and his marriage. Marquis Jiang Yin also didn't want to say it directly, making it seem like his wife's family was too anxious.
But in reality, Marquis Jiangyin wished that he could build the Imperial Residence overnight and immediately marry his daughter over.
When he saw the salt, Zhu Xiong couldn't help but laugh heartily."This really helped me a lot!"
With this salt guide, he could rightfully sell salt in his fief.
It was a monopoly business and pure profits.
Marquis Jiangyin smiled." I'm worried that His Highness King Qi won't have much money once he starts building the manor. With this salt, he can sell salt in his fief to support his family."”
There were so many servants in the Imperial Residence, so the monthly expenses were naturally quite high. How could a new lord not have some way to earn money?
One had to say that Marquis Jiang Yin, this father-in-law, was extremely thoughtful.
Zhu Rong laughed out loud." Father-in-law, you're really thoughtful. I wonder how much money Father has prepared for me to build the mansion?"”
Sitting opposite him, the smiling Marquis Jiangyin was instantly stunned. The smile on his face stiffened, and after a long time, the corners of his mouth twitched. He asked in puzzlement,"When His Highness King Qi came to Qingzhou, did His Majesty not give you the money to build the Imperial Residence?”
The smile on Zhu Rong's face froze.""Didn't father-in-law bring the money for Imperial Father to build the Imperial Residence to Qingzhou?!”
You didn't even bring the money to build the mansion, so why are you here to supervise the construction of the mansion?!
One old and one young, the two of them stared at each other, dumbfounded!
The matter of constructing the king's mansion was discussed in full swing. Even the first draft of the blueprint was brought out by Marquis Jiangyin.
After discussing for a long time, no one had any money!
The construction of a wangfu was definitely not a small project. It would consume a large amount of manpower, material resources, and financial resources. This was also a drawback in the Darming Dynasty.
It was not a big problem to recruit some farmers and craftsmen in his fief. However, he needed to purchase materials. How could he not have money?
Zhu Rong was just a prince who had just arrived in his fief. Previously, all the profits from his fief had gone into Zhu Yuanzhang's palace treasury. How could he have any assets?!
After a long time, Zhu Xiong thought that his father-in-law had brought silver with him, and the Marquis of Jiangyin thought that the prince had already received the funds from the palace, so the Emperor did not let him bring money with him to Qingzhou.
After Marquis Jiangyin reacted to what was going on, he frowned and muttered in his heart, What did His Majesty mean? You asked me to come to Qingzhou to supervise the construction of the Imperial Residence, but you didn't give me any silver. Delaying this marriage?
Or could it be that His Majesty had completely given up on the Seventh Prince and left him to fend for himself in his fief?
Thinking up to here, Marquis Jiangyin's heart couldn't help but thump.
Marquis Jiang Yin's heart was in turmoil, with mixed feelings.
Zhu Rong reacted and stroked his chin.""Imperial Father, don't tell me you want me to earn my own money and build the Imperial Residence?”
The imperial court was short of money, and because of this matter, there were many discussions in the imperial court about how to make money. This salt delivery was also an idea that the imperial court came up with.
The construction of the palace was costly, and he had angered Zhu Yuanzhang. He might really not give him any money.
When Marquis Jiangyin heard this, his eyes widened!
He didn't even dare to think about this idea!
The construction of the Imperial Residence was a huge project, and it cost a lot of silver. If he relied on the newly appointed vassal king to earn one tael of silver, how long would it take?
When His Highness King Qi earned the money to build the Imperial Residence, his youngest daughter would become an old hag!
Which prince's marriage was not paid for by the palace? What money did a prince who had just come of age have?
The Emperor wouldn't really do as His Highness King Qi said and let him earn his own money to build a mansion, would he?
No way. As a father, he couldn't be so heartless, right?!
Zhu Xiong was not too worried. After all, he had already thought of a way to earn money.
This made his father-in-law extremely worried.
He was anxious. His daughter had already reached the age to get married. If this dragged on for three to five years and news spread in the capital, it would become a joke!
If there was really a long delay and something went wrong in this marriage, his daughter would become an old lady. Who would he marry then?
Since things had come to this, Marquis Jiang Yin didn't have any good ideas.
Zhu Rong comforted him and asked him to write a memorial to ask the Emperor what he meant.
He first let Marquis Jiangyin settle down in the manor, and after many days, Noble Consort Da sent over money and resources, and a large number of people arrived in batches.
It couldn't be helped. Walking with legs was far worse than running with horses.
It wasn't that Zhu Xiong didn't have a single cent in his hands.
With the arrival of his men from the capital, his team was finally complete.
He had some savings on hand. In addition to what his father-in-law and Noble Consort Da had given him, he suddenly had more money.
Of course, it was not enough to build the Imperial Residence, but he had the capital to do business.
In this era, merchants were not presentable. As a vassal king, he naturally could not personally do these things.
There was already a team of people in the mansion that specialized in business activities.
Previously, he still had a few small shops in the capital that he was still managing.
Now, most of the shopkeepers, waiters, and others had followed him to Qi Land.
Zhu Rong only needed to take out the salt and tell everyone that they would focus on salt during this period of time.
Behind them, the butler and the people who specialized in business activities were busy.
Zhu Xiong used the empty houses in the manor as warehouses and transit stations. He directly exchanged a large amount of refined salt from the system.
Then, he exchanged for another ten soldiers who were responsible for guarding and transporting the salt in the warehouse. They were responsible for handing it over to their mature subordinates.
These servants who specialized in commercial activities sold the salt to various areas within the fief.
Of course, ordinary salt was still sold through conventional means. The price was also the market price. It did not directly impact the market price.
Marquis Jiangyin was not interested in these merchants at all, and he did not pay any attention to them.
The old man had been worrying about where he would get the money. In the past two days, two strands of his hair had turned white.
At the same time, a letter was sent back to the capital along with the memorial, explaining the situation here to the Wu family mansion.
This old man had been worried about not being able to eat or drink well every day. It was only when Zhu Xiong had ordered people to use the various seasonings exchanged from the system to make a table full of delicious food that Marquis Jiang Yin finally had an appetite.
He had not even received a reply from the capital, but he had already gained a lot of weight! He had no idea that the salt Zhu Xiong sold had caused such a huge sensation!
