Chapter 63 The matter of Beiping
"Oh, if the materials could be deducted by the Fourth Prince, maybe they would make a little more profit." The prefect of Peking touched the beard on his chin, and his eyes were flashing. He wanted to make more oil from Zhu Di, but unfortunately, when he thought of Ma Sanbao, who looked quite professional next to Zhu Di, his thoughts were as if he was vague.
"Master, you have prepared all the goods for you, they are all in the carriage, and the strong men have also arranged them. The Fourth Highness said that when you meet people every day, why should we return the remaining silver to the Fourth Highness?" Late at night, the attendant spoke respectfully to the magistrate of Peking. He weighed the heavy box, and the silver seemed even more shining under the moonlight.
"Do you still remember the old rules? Brothers have made a lot of money from me. Now I want to pay it back to the Fourth Prince. So what do you make? What do I make? I can leave with ten taels of silver!" The magistrate of Peking widened his eyes and looked at the attendant with dissatisfaction with blowing his beard. The attendant was so scared that he quickly took out a silver dollar from the box and walked away, and he didn't even dare to call him.
Seeing the servant running away with silver dollars, the prefect of Peking City satisfied that he had received a large box of silver into the room. This large box of silver was enough for him to live a comfortable life for the rest of his life.
"Come here, go to the suburbs to buy a villa for me. It is best to bring a stream. After a while, I will quit my job and enjoy the peace and prosperity!" The magistrate of Peking was proud and earned a lot of silver from the fourth prince Zhu Di. The magistrate of Peking was satisfied.
Xiaoxue slowly landed throughout the entire Beiping city. With the warm wine, the prefect of Peking leaned on the lounge chair in an interest. After making money, he became more than ten years younger.
................
In the residence of the Fourth Prince Zhu Di, Zhu Di and Ma Sanbao were enjoying the dinner prepared by the chef from the imperial kitchen of the Nanjing City Palace. While preparing how to continue to make concessions to the prefect of the Beiping City. The current business is completed in Beiping City. I believe that the prefect of the Beiping City will continue to fetch the wool. They have already collected the evidence, and just let the lamb come to him.
"If you report this to us, you may not be able to give us more conditions when your Majesty is happy. His property is confiscated, which is also an income for the treasury!" Ma Sanbao sighed. The office house of the magistrate of Peking was extremely luxurious, let alone his private residence. At present, a lot of silver must have been taken away from Zhu Di. The magistrate of Peking is now making a fortune.
Zhu Di naturally would not refute Ma Sanbao's words. He was also waiting for an opportunity to report the prefect of Peking. However, this evil man could not be allowed to do it, and Ma Sanbao must do it. After all, he had just taken over a large piece of land and even reported it to others. It was completely a act of destroying bridges across the river. Zhu Di was not the kind of person who liked to destroy bridges across the river. This chore must be taken by the Censor himself.
"Well, I'm just like-minded in this regard!" Ma Sanbao clinked the cup for Zhu Di. He understood what Zhu Di meant. Although Zhu Di did not express his opinion, he had already acquiesced to Ma Sanbao's behavior in his heart. Ma Sanbao followed Zhu Di for so many days and had already figured out Zhu Di's character. Moreover, he had absolute trust in Zhu Di. He understood that although Zhu Di himself was good to his subordinates, if outsiders did not give him much benefit, they would have to occupy more of his benefits, and Zhu Di would not agree.
The next day.
Outside the city of Peking, in the suburbs, the weeds were gone overnight and all were eradicated. Even the materials and the men were summoned to this vacant land. On this vacant land, many men began to build industrial parks according to the workers arranged by Ma Sanbao.
The construction of the industrial park is not simple. Among these strong men, there are carpenters, blacksmiths, and many handymen, with drawings and guidance. Their efficiency is much faster than that of the industrial park in Nanjing. The construction of the industrial park in Nanjing is like a headless fly without experience. The drawings are drawn step by step. The industrial park in Peking City has already made a prototype in just half a day under the guidance of the drawings.
Under Ma Sanbao's strong request, Zhu Di followed Ma Sanbao to the outside of the industrial park reluctantly. Zhu Di couldn't help but be surprised to see the first prototype of the industrial park. He never expected that the craftsmen in Peking City were so efficient in doing things. However, he thought about it, with drawings, it was not like a blind man touching an elephant before, and there were naturally many changes in speed.
"I originally thought there would be a twenty-day construction period, but now it should be able to complete production in just ten days." Ma Sanbao said beside Zhu Di. He was also surprised at the speed of the construction of the industrial park. Although his industrial park does not require foundation preparation and cumbersome construction technology, the speed is beyond his imagination. Even the fans that need to be made in the industrial park are ready and are waiting for future installation.
The pace of the industrial park is beyond Zhu Di and Ma Sanbao's imagination. As long as the industrial park can be completed, I believe it will be put into production in a short time, and their business in Peking will be launched soon.
"Fourth Prince, do you still remember me? I am a subordinate of Boss Qian. Boss Qian asked us to set up a winery in your Peking City Industrial Park. Will the Fourth Prince agree?" In the industrial courtyard, a thin man came to Zhu Di. He took the drawings and spoke to Zhu Di.
Zhu Di thought for a long time, but there was this person in his impression. Zhu Di didn't know what the person's surname was. After all, the one who had joined Zhu Di before was Qian Youdao, the boss of Zuixianlou, not this person. However, he and Qian Youdao agreed to establish a winery for Zuixianlou in Beiping City. That's not bad. After all, Zuixianlou is still the taste of Nanjing City in line with Zhu Di's taste buds. Zuixianlou in Beiping City has just improved, but it is not as mellow as Nanjing City.
When Zhu Di agreed, the employee from Zuixianlou smiled quickly. He didn't know that if others wanted to occupy one acre of three parts of the land in Zhu Di's industrial park, Zhu Di would not agree. Qian Youdao is different. Qian Youdao is one of his investors. Zhu Di also had a share of the wine in Zuixianlou, so Zhu Di would be so polite. If it were other industries, don't even think about it unless he could share the share with him Zhu Di.
After seeing too much money, although Zhu Di thought that the money was not that heavy, he was influenced by his mind in doing business. At this time, Zhu Di did not look like a prince baptized in the feudal era, but like a capitalist businessman who only valued interests.
....................................................................
In Nanjing City, in the imperial palace, Zhu Yuanzhang listened to the eunuch's report.
"Report to Your Majesty, the Fourth Prince Zhu Di and Ma Wenhe have arrived in Peiping safely, but they encountered some bumps on the way to Beiping. They encountered bandits on the road, but Your Majesty rested on the verge of the bandits, but you don't worry, the bandits have sent people to wipe out them, and there are only dozens of bandits, so it's still easy to wipe out them." Eunuch Wang spoke beside Zhu Yuanzhang, and had a file in his hand, which was responsible for the record of his trip to Peiping. Zhu Di never expected that there was a spy left by his father and emperor by his side.
"Your Majesty, this bandit seems to have some interaction with the third Your Highness. I dare not speak nonsense, but I just speculate, don't know whether to speak or not?" Eunuch Wang suddenly lowered his head and did not dare to speak more. The file was clearly written. He was afraid of making Zhu Yuanzhang unhappy. Eunuch Wang, who had been with Zhu Yuanzhang for many years, knew Zhu Yuanzhang's character very well.
"Tell me! Don't worry! I won't take my anger on you!" Zhu Yuanzhang's tone was aggravated. The feeling of being arrogant without anger made Eunuch Wang feel sweaty. Eunuch Wang carefully turned to the next volume of the file.
"Your Majesty, this bandit was trained by the Third Highness. This time the Fourth Highness was attacked, it was probably the work of the Third Highness. After all, the Fourth Highness once exposed his identity in front of the bandits, but the bandit Wang Ruo ignored it and did not take the identity of the Fourth Highness seriously at all. Moreover, the bandit actually had a musket!" said the King. Every time he said a word, his forehead was filled with sweat, for fear of causing Zhu Yuanzhang's displeasure.
When Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, he frowned and smashed the teacup in his hand to the ground. The broken teacup and the tea spilled on the ground showed Zhu Yuanzhang's anger. He paced back and forth, his hands trembling with anger, and Long Yan showed displeasure, "Zhu Qi, Zhu Qi, actually smuggled arms! Come, call Zhu Qi to me, and I want to question it in person!"
"Report to Your Majesty, the third prince left the capital last night and was on his way to his vassal state. Why would you send someone to chase the third prince?" The prince was sweating coldly, fearing that he had said something wrong and led to his life. At this time, the angry Zhu Yuanzhang knew very well. Although he was not as tyrannical as King Ying Zheng of Qin, Zhu Yuanzhang was definitely not an emperor with a good temper.
"I didn't expect San'er to do so too much! That's his younger brother! It's not that I don't allow the princes to compete for favor, nor that I don't allow the princes to compete for merit, but I have never allowed the royal family to kill each other! I'm very disappointed with Zhu Qi. Come here and pass on my will. From now on, Zhu Qi will guard the vassal areas for ten years and will not step into Nanjing City again within ten years! Otherwise, don't blame me for being ruthless!" Zhu Yuanzhang said hysterically, scaring the prince and the prince didn't dare to say more. His hands were trembling and he looked at Zhu Yuanzhang nervously.
"Your Majesty, I have another report. The Fourth Highness and the Prefect of Peking have discussed the next piece of land that will be used to open their industrial park. However, the Prefect of Peking seems to have collected a lot of silver from the Fourth Highness. In addition to the material purchase and staff fees, at least 20,000 silver was collected. Isn't this a strict investigation?" Eunuch Wang tentatively tentatively.
"I have already understood this matter, so I have left it to Di'er and others for this little thing. I don't need to take action personally. I am curious about what method they will use to arrest the magistrate of Peking!" Zhu Yuanzhang put the matter aside and looked at Eunuch Wang with great interest, "If it's a year, then I will look down on those two people too much."
