Zhu Yuanzhang's thoughts were obvious, and it was nothing more than using this to show that the emperor's broad mind was not to remember his previous hatred. What could he move the people in the world more than the orphans who pardoned the criminals? The same was true for Xu Hao's intention. So many people participated in it personally, and the pressure from the lingering mouth, as the emperor, would inevitably give an explanation to the relevant person afterwards.

Sure enough, Zhu Yuanzhang personally pardoned Zhang Yueyun's siblings as a sinner, and promised to inherit the marquis of his deceased father when Zhang Yu grew up, and sent someone to escort the siblings home and drive his uncle and his family to the countryside.

Xu Hao's vow was fulfilled, and he was relieved to the old Zhang De. From then on, Zhang Yueyun and his brothers were grateful to Xu Hao. The Zhang family of Heqing Hou had close contacts with the Xu family and would not talk about it for the time being.

The four major cases in the early Ming Dynasty affected many people. The recent Lan Yu case has caused frequent marriages between each other in the past. All the surviving noble families have dead relatives, which is full of sorrow. Affected by this, the families gradually began to break off contact and dare not interact easily.

The Xu family has been affected quite a lot. First, the old friends in the old lady's generation are scattered, and the older generations they know are becoming increasingly rare. Although they have not had much interaction over the years, it is enough to make the old lady feel uncomfortable and sad. She always sighs and smiles a lot less.

The situation of the master and the wife is similar. All friends died in this case, especially the Xu Yaozu and his wife, who are most closely related to the capital. Most of the family members and friends of the past have been gone. This has left the Xu family covered with clouds for half a year. Even the old lady’s 62-year-old birthday and the birthdays of several elders were unintentionally arranged, and she hastily arranged several tables of banquets and finished the meal.

As for the four brothers of Xu Hao, they all have friends of the same generation passed away one after another. Among them, Xu Hao never wanted to make friends with people from the capital again. The reason was simple. He did not want to see his friends die in front of him again. Several years later, Zhu Di led his troops to Beijing. The records in history books were very clear, and another large-scale killing was another.

Therefore, every time I go to Kyoto, I refuse to make friends with people, including rich young men, talented men in the scholars, guards and even peddlers. Almost all young people near my home come to me, and Xu Hao feels bored and doesn't even see him. But I feel lonely without friends, so Xu Hao only contacts the two brothers Zhu Gaochi and the royal family. Although Xu Hao is not from a high background, he has three aunts who are noble princesses. In addition, the prestige of the Yan Prince's Mansion in the royal family makes all the dragon and sons who are above the top look at him, but most of them are ordinary friends.

Although Xu Hao did not follow these noble people's intentions, he had made great gains since he joined Zhu Shangbing's salt mine business. He decided to start the business of transporting goods from south to north, and with the support of local royal governments as a support, he would not worry about the source of rare goods, and he would not be afraid of difficulties in marketing the world with governments and other forces.

As a subordinate of the Yanwang Mansion, Xu Hao naturally told Zhu Gaochi about his plan. Of course, he could not point out his ambitions. Instead, Yanjing is located in the north, with a small population, insufficient taxes, and it is also good to add more money. Moreover, the business names are everywhere, and perhaps you can receive some useful information. It is better to rely on the government's notification in everything, and the source of information is too single.

Zhu Gaochi has always been steady and cautious in his work. He did not make a clear reply after much consideration. Instead, he sent someone to the north to inform his father Zhu Di about this. Xu Hao had to wait.

It’s not that Xu Hao didn’t want to run his own business, but that after establishing a business, he would sooner or later be used by Zhu Di. When the news was blocked during the Jingnan Campaign, Zhu Di would not let go of anything that could be used. Instead of being used at that time, it would be better to say it from the beginning. Besides, the Xu family was short of staff, and he also hoped that the Yan Prince’s Mansion would contribute to his efforts and then enjoy the fruits.

Since the sale of Hongye’s sisters won 500 taels of gold, the restaurant has been completed at the beginning of this month. It is located on a bustling street near the Qinhuai River. It has begun to invite craftsmen to decorate and name it Yanbin Building. Unfortunately, due to the influence of the general environment, Hongye has never sold another pair.

The court made a lot of work, with three floors of the main building plus other surrounding buildings, covering an area of ​​the same as a market in the Tang Dynasty, and it can accommodate thousands of people to have dinner together at the same time.

When the capital was in turmoil and there was no competition between the powerful, Xu Hao took all the valuable things in the house to pawn. Don't underestimate it. Any antique treasure in his house was valuable. They were all good things that Xu Da used to fight the world when he was fighting in the world and then rewarded them during the Chinese New Year. In addition, there were rare jade and other small items rewarded by his aunts. Those with the words "Courtesy" engraved with palaces did not dare to sell them, and the others were all priced.

Xu Hao borrowed some money from all over the place, and the children of the royal family were at least a few hundred taels or a thousand. He made 20,000 taels of silver without hesitation. With the influence of the Yan Prince's Mansion, he bullied the interested landlords and wealth, and the merchants from all over the north and south, and all the people in the north and south were afraid and scared, and exclusively bought ten shops near the street near a restaurant.

According to the agreement with the government, the restaurant occupied half of the main building in a noble manner, and the rest were allowed for the people and merchants to sign contracts freely, and no less than twenty or thirty taverns were to be opened one after another.

Xu Hao welcomed this with pleasure, and the benefits of scale are very necessary, not to mention that he has good ideas in his stomach and is not afraid of competing with others.

If it weren't for the influence of the Lan Yu case, these ten street-side shops in the past would have been worth at least 50,000 taels of silver. Unfortunately, people inside and outside the capital were panic at that time. Who would dare to act rashly? The wealthy ministers were too busy to take care of themselves, and the Yan Prince's Mansion came forward to say hello. Who would dare to compete for someone with a weak family? In short, Xu Hao was in vain. Within half a month, the price of the shops increased more than doubled.

These stores belong entirely to Xu Hao himself, because they are all paid by him, and in name they still belong to the family's property. In fact, the house deed is in his own hands. No matter when it comes, it will be useless even if it is a lawsuit.

The elders knew this. The money was arranged by his nephew, and the way he came out by himself. The government was handled by himself. The house deed was written with his real name. Besides, as an elder, he couldn't bear to take over his nephew's property. It would be good enough to be a member of the official position. What else can I say if I take advantage of it for nothing?

Xu Hao is not a selfish person. He once told his family that his uncle was dismissed from his post and lost his income source and was bedridden. Wang had many private houses in his hands, but he was reluctant to take them out. Since his elder brother Xu Wen took care of foreign affairs, he intends to buy one or two shops to increase his profits, but the family does not have enough cash.

Although Xu Hao knew that Xu Wen was a natural person to manage the matter, Xu Wen never discussed with him after he was in charge, and acted as if he was monopolizing power, which made Xu Hao feel very uncomfortable, so he ignored Xu Wen's hint of borrowing money.

The second brother Xu Ji was devoted to reading the books of sages. These things were all inferior to him and ignored them at all.

The third wife, Liu, doesn't have to worry about money, and her family just talks about tens of thousands of taels of silver, which is a trivial matter. However, since her husband was warned by Princess Yan and her son was beaten up, she has a different identity than the second house of the eldest and second houses. As an official wife, she thinks it's better to be low-key.

On the contrary, Mu Ningxue accidentally heard about this matter. After careful consideration, she discussed it with her mother and purchased a restaurant and four or five shops. Of course, this was a lot of knowledge.

In addition, Xu Yingxu, the second uncle of the mansion, quietly bought many shops and a mansion, including two pleasure boats, most of which were falling wealthy industries and were confiscated by the government and sold at a low price.

Xu Hao also intends to take the opportunity to buy some real estate, but there is no money. Now he owns the property and has not yet figured out how to operate it. He first plans to open a silk shop branch, and rent or sell the rest slowly before making plans.

As for those vast and luxurious mansions, Xu Hao had no idea at all, because he would not dare to move in even if he bought them. Without a title or an official position, it was called a ritual.

After finishing Zhang Yueyun's affairs, Xu Hao became relaxed and planned to continue studying at the Mu family, and try his skills during the provincial examination. If he is lucky, he will get the qualification of a child, which will also make the old lady happy.

Of course, his intention to drink was not to drink. Although he had not seen Mu Ningxue in the past six months, the gardens in the Mu family's house were open to him and could enter and exit at will. This was more effective than any hint.

Xu Wen's grand appointment has been given out, and the date of marriage is set on August 16th. Xu Qingtang and Xu Wen will worry about all trivial matters.

It is said that the princess Zhu Qiaoqiao disliked her future husband and had a few troubles over this, but her arm could not twist her thighs.

Xu Hao could only helplessly. He didn't finalize the marriage at the beginning, but he just helped to contact him.

Anyway, it’s just like that between husband and wife. It depends on whether the west wind overwhelms the east wind or whether the east wind conquers the west wind.
