Chapter 205 Don't you think it's too small?
Zhu Da rarely kept it indifferent. After he spoke out about the "new business", even Qin Qin, who didn't listen very seriously, became curious. However, Qin Juren didn't look as excited as before. He poured himself a second glass of wine, with a calm smile on his face.
"Don't ask, don't ask, it's hard to explain the business. I have to think carefully and I will talk to you when the time comes." Zhu Da dispelled everyone's intention of asking.
After dinner, even Zhou Qingyun couldn't hold on. She was nervous for several days. Today, there were ups and downs again. Both mental and physical health needed to rest. So far, it was safe and could not get tight. Zhu Da went out for a walk and arranged four servants to take turns to serve on the night. This is the normal state of living, and everyone can rest well.
Zhu Da was about to be on duty for an hour in the early morning and to rest at other times. As soon as he finished the arrangement, Qin Qin, who was yawning, came to him and said that Qin Chuan called him to chat alone.
After entering the study, just like when I was in Zheng’s family, I had three times more lights than normal people. This is Zhu Da’s suggestion. A candle or oil lamp will cause irreversible damage to vision. Since it can be used, I am not afraid of spending it.
Under the relatively bright candlelight, it was obvious that Qin Chuan had relaxed and exhausted face. Seeing Zhu Da come in and close the door, Qin Juren waved his hand and said, "When I was in Taiyuan, I thought that you were already in trouble, and I really didn't expect that you were still alive. A big rock hanging in my heart fell to the ground. Now I feel that my whole body is soft, so I want to rest early."
This joy comes from the heart, and Zhu Da was moved and sighed. Qin Chuan’s concern and closeness for him was true, but he only had the surprise of reunion after the disaster, but he rarely thought about the grief of his parents and masters leaving. This was not a natural manifestation of Qin Juren’s dissatisfaction, but a natural manifestation of different relationships.
"It's a pity that your parents and brother Xiang have lived a good life, but it's not long..." Qin Chuan wouldn't refuse to mention it, but he was just polite and kind.
"I didn't expect to meet you again with my foster father, and I didn't expect that when my foster father came back, he was already a scholar-in-law. This was a double happiness." Zhu Da's words were also sincere.
Qin Chuan smiled and shook his head and said, "By chance, I will come back if I fail the exam, but this time I have such a big disaster and I am retained by the Wang family in Taiyuan, so I have been delayed."
Everyone was about to rest and called people over to face them alone. I guess it wasn't these feelings. Sure enough, after saying this, Juren Qin sat upright and signaled Zhu Da to sit in front of him. He asked seriously: "Zhu Da, now he is a Juren, and he is rich and honorable. He integrates the private salt business and various transactions of Huairen County and Datong Zuowei, which is for you and Qingyun. If this thing is done, coupled with the various means of doing business in the past, you will have thousands of taels of silver a year. What new business are you thinking about? Now that we, father and son, rely on each other, will we still have to live apart?"
Zhu Da said, "I thought about a new business." His tone and attitude at that time were very clear. It was outside the scope of Qin Chuan's plan. Others might not understand it. They thought it was a system like Hebian New Village. How smart and smart Qin Juren was, and he immediately thought of a lot.
"The adoptive father, no separation." Zhu Da replied.
Before he could continue to explain, some business Qin Juren said again: "Your is yours, mine is mine. Qin Qin will marry in the future. She will not marry into a bad family. With her temperament, she will not suffer any loss. She can't take much of the Qin family's wealth. Are you still thinking about separating the Qin family and the Zhu family? Is the adoptive father such a person?"
"Entertainment Father, you still have to marry again. If you get married, you will always leave a long-term foundation for your family." Zhu Da replied calmly.
This statement made Qin Chuan look angry on his face. He frowned and was about to speak, but Zhu Da said again: "I am not disagreeing, nor do I think my adoptive father is stingy. I want to do a deal that everyone can get enough. Adopted father, don't you think Huairen County and Datong Zuowei are too small?"
"Too small?" Qin Chuan was stunned at first, looked at Zhu Da in surprise, stared at him for a moment before shook his head and said, "You are ambitious."
"Is the business of Baibao Village and Zheng Jiaji not in Huairen County and Datong Zuowei? We are so prosperous. When the Tartars arrive, they will disappear. No matter how big we are in Huairen County, if there is a strong force and the Tartars breaks the city, how can we defend it?" Zhu Da asked.
"Will the Tartars attack the city?" Qin Chuan retorted, but his confidence was not too strong. Datong border town was invaded by small Mongolian troops countless times, robbed in the wild, and cracked down on the city many times. Huairen County has not been compromised recently since its founding, but in the past twenty years, everyone thought that the Tartars would not invade, and even the beacon was numb. In the end, there was such a disaster, who could say it was accurate.
What's more, although the status of a juren is valuable, it is only in a county. If there are really any great men who want to take it, they actually have no power to resist.
"You said this is a natural disaster. If you can predict earthquakes and floods, why do you need to study and do business? Wouldn't it be better to be a god?"
"The adoptive father is limited to the two places in Datong Zuowei in Huairen County. Whether it is private salt or border market, there is an upper limit. The money you earn is limited, and the strength you can afford is limited, so you cannot fight against natural disasters and man-made disasters. We must have a greater situation to have greater strength. The new business I want to think about is that it has nothing to do with the territory, and the upper limit is far more than private salt and border trade."
"Are you going to rebel?"
While Zhu Da was talking, Qin Chuan suddenly asked this question. Zhu Da was immediately stunned and stunned for a while before answering: "It's just for self-protection, just for a long time to live a comfortable and long life."
"I really don't know what that person taught you back then. How could you remember so reliable at a young age? It would be fine if you were a mediocre person. You must not have such delusions. Although you have broad knowledge, you have never had the area of Huairen and Zuowei. Do you know how big the world is, do you know what the Ming Dynasty looks like? Don't think about it randomly." Qin Chuan sighed inexplicably.
Back then, Zhu Da attributed his fishing and his knowledge to the teaching of a mysterious Taoist. This false "mysterious Taoist" was considered a fugitive from the White Lotus Sect. It was normal for such people to have any strange thoughts. Sometimes Zhu Da's thoughts are attributed to this, which saves a lot of explanations.
"No random thoughts." Zhu Da didn't want to explain more. Now, he is in a county, with more than twenty young people who have just learned to fight. It is unrealistic to think about anything.
"Entertainment Father, we have enough gold and silver in our hands. With these wealth, we can keep our wealth for the rest of our lives even if we achieve nothing. Since we want to do things, why not be limited? It is better to do more. It is better to try new ones. After failure, we just use the deposit of the silver and rely on the fame of the adoptive father to live a comfortable life. What if it is done?" Zhu Da's persuasion actually distorted the conversation.
Qin Chuan, a juren, had nothing to say for a moment. He felt that Zhu Da was talking about something, but the adopted son took all aspects into consideration, which made him unable to argue.
"Do it! You do what you want. If you can't do it, you can come back. We are a family, don't ignore it." Finally, he sighed and Qin Chuan said powerlessly.
Zhu Da smiled. Qin Chuan's attitude moved him, but Zhu Da is no longer the one who will show his true nature because of his touch. After a moment of silence, he spoke again: "Entertainment Father, if you want to integrate the private salts in both places, it is not enough to rely on these people now. You have to recruit them again. I have already got a way."
At this obvious change of topic, Qin Chuan smiled and waved his hand and said, "I also have the routine of recruiting soldiers. It seems that it is not as good as you. Just do it yourself."
"Qingyun and I still know the training of the village heroes in Huairen County and Datong Zuowei. We know the quality very clearly. We can recruit people and clean up all the places in a month and catch the private salt business." Zhu Da said confidently. At that time, Yuan Biao led him and Zhou Qingyun to travel around and touched the armed forces in such places very thoroughly.
Hearing this, Qin Juren smiled happily. For Qin Chuan, this was the only time he had taken the initiative and superiority in this night's conversation. Although his family did not pay attention to this, it still made people feel relaxed.
"The matter of integrating private salt can be done tomorrow. At the beginning, there is no need to use swords and guns. If it goes well, even if you get it, you don't need to use swords and weapons. There are many benefits of this Juren's identity that you wouldn't expect."
Zhu Da was stunned for a moment and then laughed.
Everyone slept very well that night, not only Zhu Da and others, but also people from other places in Huairen County, because everyone could confirm that they would not be exterminated and set fire to the family at night, and they were not worried that the county magistrate would go crazy and mobilize the township heroes. After this Qin Juren came back, the situation in the county was settled.
Of course, sleeping soundly does not mean sleeping early. Many people have to plan, because after tonight, the weather in Huairen County will change.
......
Early the next morning, the sleeping Zhu Da was woken up by the servants, saying that Chang Kai and a few people came over. Zhu Da washed up and went out to greet him. The Chang's constable helped several times, which was a friendship in distress and could not be treated as before.
"Old Chang is all his family. If you have some care in the future, why should you come here so early to flatter me?" When we met, we joked. Not only did Chang Kai come here by himself, but he also brought his wife and a few middle-aged women of about the same age.
"My little master, you just don't have much preparations when you see you are still joking. Get busy, we can't relax these days." Chang Kai had no relaxation on his face, and he was a little embarrassed and stomped his feet in a hurry.
Zhu Da was shocked. He would not be easy in the future, but what should I prepare?
