Daming: Let you build roads, you have access to highways throughout the country

Chapter 143: The sky has fallen, and Princess Anqing is on top!!!

Zhu Rong listened to the report of his subordinates, and he was a little angry in his heart.

It’s not that I feel that I lost many silver taels, mainly because Ouyang Lun, the horse master, didn’t even call him at all, so he robbed this order.

This is what really makes him angry!

If it is to make money, he is not bad for this product!

It’s a horse master, this food is inevitably a little ugly, Zhu Rong is a little unimpressed in his heart!

But if Ouyang Lun opened his mouth to him, he would rather not do this product, and he would definitely give it to Ouyang Lun. After all, it’s not a big deal, even if you don’t look at the face of Ouyang Lun, the horse master, you have to look at the face of Princess Anqing, don’t look at the face of Princess Anqing, you have to look at the face of Prince Zhu Biao, don’t look at the face of Prince Zhu Biao, you also have to look at Zhu Yuanzhang’s face, don’t look at Zhu Yuanzhang’s face, you also have to look at the face of Empress Ma!

Who is Princess Anqing, she is the biological daughter of Empress Ma, and among the many princesses of the Daming Dynasty, most of them have become political tools.

Including the Grand Princess.

Li Shanchang’s son married the eldest princess. After the fall of Li Shanchang, Zhu Yuanzhang could not take care of these daughters at all, and the eldest princess followed the exile and died on the road.

But Princess Anqing was different, Zhu Yuanzhang gave her full freedom of marriage and let her choose the right horse by herself.

After repeated screening, Ouyang Lun was selected.

In this era, as a princess, it is very rare to have this kind of treatment, and it can also be seen that Zhu Yuanzhang loves and attaches importance to Princess Anqing.

5 It doesn’t matter if you are beautiful or not, talent and the like, the most important point is because she was born to Queen Ma.

And the friendship between Zhu Yuanzhang and Empress Ma cannot be described in words.

Don’t look at Zhu Rong who is now calling for wind and rain in Qidi, and even the pro-army generals sent out have just achieved a great victory in the north, but he can only be a small clan king, and his right to speak in the court is still not very good.

In addition to the fact that he is the seventh prince and ranks slightly lower, the most crucial point is that he was not born to Empress Ma, so there is no chance at all!

No minister will support him.

When the fourth prince, Zhu Di, the king of Yan, was still in the court, why was there a group of courtiers willing to stand behind Zhu Di? The most critical reason is actually because he is the son of Queen Ma.

This is the most fundamental condition.

As long as it is from Empress Ma, in Zhu Yuanzhang’s mind, it has an extremely important status.

Princess Anqing is naturally no exception, in this era, there are really not many people who can choose their own horses like him.

Princess Anqing and Ouyang Lun married in Hongwu in 14 years, and they have always been very happy.

Princess Anqing was very satisfied with her marriage, and Ouyang Lun was really good to her.

Ouyang Lunren is generally relatively talented, when he was a teenager, his family was poor, with hard work, ten years of hard study, and finally admitted to the Daming Dynasty’s jinshi, he was completely talented, and he was taken care of by Princess Anqing at a glance.

Zhu Yuanzhang, who was also from a peasant, was also very satisfied with Ouyang Lun, so Zhu Yuanzhang, who loved Princess Anqing very much, finalized this family affair for her, and the two married smoothly.

And because of Zhu Yuanzhang’s attention to Princess Anqing, Ouyang Lun also seemed extremely pro-noble, 2 stones, twice as many as Yipin officials.

But after getting married, Ouyang Lun’s greedy character of greedy for money was completely exposed. In fact, as a horse master, he didn’t worry about eating and drinking at all, coupled with Zhu Yuanzhang’s love for Princess Anqing, how could it be that the two of them lacked money to spend.

However, Ouyang Lun didn’t know whether it was because he was too poor when he was young, or what, he had to look forward to Shu, his desire was difficult to fill, he wanted to be richer when he was rich, and he wanted to be richer when he was rich, so he actually used his identity as a horse master to smuggle and sell smuggling, and secretly became a profiteer.

In the early Ming Dynasty, salt, tea, and horses were the three major monopoly materials of the imperial court.

Tea is related to the long-term stability of the Daming River and Mountain, and is the most important.

Because the ethnic minorities living in the northwest have always fed on meat and cheese, they have developed a habit of drinking tea, and if they do not drink tea, they are prone to disease, and often disturb the Central Plains because of tea.

Since the Tang Dynasty, successive rulers have implemented a policy of exchanging tea for horses.

Zhu Yuanzhang was no exception, setting up a tea and horse department to buy tea from the mainland and exchange it for horses with the surrounding Fan people.

Not to mention salt, even the salt in Zhu Rong’s hand may be taken back at any time, in fact, Zhu Rong, the king of the clan, has the power to buy salt taxes, not sell them directly.

The sale of salt belongs to the unified jurisdiction of the imperial court.

It’s just that at that time, because Zhu Rong came to Qingzhou City, and even the royal mansion was not yet available, Zhu Yuanzhang gave him a special approval of a salt citation to allow him to quickly accumulate wealth, and later, Zhu Rong made many great achievements, and this salt citation was naturally not a problem, and Zhu Yuanzhang did not rush to take it back.

At present, in the border area, a good horse can be exchanged for 120 pounds of tea, but in the mainland, a Chinese horse can be exchanged for 1 pound of tea!

As you can imagine, the profit in the middle is huge.

The price difference is huge, and the profit is large, naturally some people will risk killing their heads and sell tea to the border to trade privately.

The imperial court had long issued repeated orders that no one should be allowed to trade tea, salt, and horses with the people for any reason, failing which they would all be punished by death.

It can be seen that Zhu Yuanzhang attaches great importance to this matter, however, what everyone did not expect was that the horse master actually participated in the business of reselling private tea.

In the beginning, Ouyang Lun married Princess Anqing and became a horse master, and when others encountered some trouble, they often found Ouyang Lun to help.

And as long as Ouyang Lun came forward, no matter how big the trouble, it would come to naught, and he easily earned tea fees.

Later, he couldn’t see this little tea fee, directly abandoned his previous partner, operated as a sole proprietorship, and chose his crony Zhou Bao as the leader to set up a team specializing in selling private tea.

Zhu Rong knows more or less about this matter.

Because the business of the Qi Royal Mansion is also very large, it is unpretentious to say that it may be the largest business done by the Daming Dynasty.

But this matter involved Princess Anqing, and Zhu Rong turned a blind eye, and the right did not know.

It’s just a surprising thing, this horse is really difficult to fill, and now he is not satisfied with the smuggling business of tea, and he has begun to think about foreign trade business, and directly imitates production according to the goods of the Qi royal palace, and then, with the price advantage, then suppresses the goods of the Qi royal palace and forcibly enters the list of tributary trade.

Here, how much does he have to do with it? How much silver was stuffed?

Zhu Rong can guess with his toes, and it is absolutely impossible to be without cat greasy.

Zhu Rong was a little embarrassed.

Ouyang Lun he doesn’t put it in his eyes, but Princess Anqing’s face, he must sell.

Just because he is the daughter of the Ma Empress, and the Ma Empress is still helping herself with the child.

This affection still has to be given.

But if you let it go, this Ouyang Lun can copy one of his own products, he can copy the second product, after tasting the sweetness, as long as it is those products with no technical content, as soon as his side comes out, his side will immediately follow suit.

What other silver do you earn?!

After thinking about it, Zhu Rong decided to salute first and then soldier.

567 He personally wrote a letter to Ouyang Lun, which basically means that the matter of flying bird toys has been revealed, turned over, and does not care about you.

However, this matter, stop here, stop there! If there is another time, don’t blame the king and you’re welcome!

The ink was dried and the letter was put into the envelope and a few tea leaves were placed inside.

This tea is the tea smuggled by Ouyang Lun, the horse master.

As long as Ouyang Lun is not stupid, he should be able to understand what Zhu Rong means.

Zhu Rong’s personal letter was quickly delivered to Ying Tianfu and personally handed over to Ouyang Lun’s hand.

Ouyang Lun unfolded in the study, and after seeing the content above, he was slightly surprised, and then, he sneered.

“A clan king who is outside, who can’t even leave the fief, actually dares to threaten me?! It’s funny!! ”

The dog-legged Zhou Bao snorted in his stomach next to him: “Tama Ye, otherwise, forget it, the money of the Qi Royal Mansion is not so easy to earn.”

Our Royal Highness King Qi is not interested in anything else, but is interested in silver, and if we move his money, it is equivalent to his life. ”

Ouyang Lun sneered, “Why not just him if he is interested in money?!”

We were selected into the tributary trade list by virtue of our ability, everyone competed fairly, he couldn’t be selected, but it depended on me? What is the truth of this?! ”

Ouyang Lun played with the few tea leaves in the envelope and said indifferently: “What should I do in normal times, don’t worry, the sky is falling, and Princess Anqing is carrying it!” Are you afraid of a ghost?! ”

“Yes! Horse Master! Small ones understand! ”

Zhou Bao suddenly stood up straight, feeling that his waist plate was much harder.

When the horse master said this, his heart was steady.

The sky has fallen, and there is Princess Anqing on top!
