  Chapter 31 The capital is rampant

   "The boatmen not only work hard, but also have ups and downs in business. Being affiliated with us has solved the problem of passenger flow and cargo volume first."

"The second thing is that we use the name of the two culprits in the capital to frighten those youngsters. Just now, we fought the gangsters who used to bully the boatmen at the pier. Now that we are here, naturally Don't be angry, so we, the second culprit in the capital, naturally want to beat them until they are subdued, we not only provide the boatman with passenger traffic, but also help them get rid of the nuisance of the rogues, so that they only need to sail with peace of mind."

"There is a third thing, that is, the honest and responsible boatman still needs to worry about the harassment of the evil officials along the way, but now we have us, and if anyone disturbs, let our people come forward, our body is big , strong enough, and with the young master of Cheng Guogong and the orphan of Rong Guogong as the backing, whoever is not open-eyed dares to take the idea of ​​​​the ships under his banner."

"Uncle Shi, you see, although those boat owners have to pay a part of their profits, they have gained safety and a source of customers. When sailing here, they don't have to be trembling or worry about danger. If it were you, would you be willing?" No? Let me tell you the truth, in the past few days, our daily profit has reached 500 taels of net profit..."

   "What..." Zhu Neng grabbed Zhang Anshi's hand.

  The next moment, he carefully held Zhang Anshi's hand in his own, and said cordially: "Nephew, there are so many. Doesn't this mean that there is a net profit of fifteen thousand taels a month?"

   You have a lot of money, so much in a month? In the early Ming Dynasty, this was definitely an astronomical sum.

   Stars began to appear in Zhu Neng's eyes, and he said again: "Nephew, are there really so many?"

Zhang Anshi coughed and said, "Shibo...I'm talking about now, our business is expanding a lot now, and seven or eight boatmen bring boats here every day, and we plan to continue to buy ships in the future and plan to develop Zhenjiang. As well as the business in Nantong Prefecture, our business in the future may be ten times, or even a hundred times larger than today."

   "Hey." Zhu Neng was so excited that he held Zhang Anshi's hand, almost crying: "It's terrible, it's terrible."

  Zhang Anshi smiled awkwardly, and withdrew his hand: "Uncle Shi, please respect yourself."

  Zhu Neng felt that he was going to faint with excitement, and he murmured: "One month is one five taels, one year is two hundred thousand, ten years is two million...one hundred years..."

   "Shibo, Shibo..."

Zhu Neng didn't respond, he just froze on the spot and didn't say a word. The next moment, he hugged Zhang Anshi tightly, hugged him in his arms, and grinned: "Haha, nephew, no wonder everyone else was outside When scolding you, the old man always told people that Zhang Anshi is the prince's brother-in-law, can he still be a bad person? I think nephew, you are smart since you were young, and you must have a great future in the future. Look, I mean it. , Nephew, I didn't love you in vain."

  Zhu Yong couldn't help but said: "Father, you didn't say that before..."

   "Shut up." Zhu Neng glared at him and scolded, "You just need to be smarter, alas, why did I give birth to a son like you."

  Zhu Neng then looked at Zhang Anshi happily again: "Then we... How much can we share in Chengguo Mansion?"

Zhang Anshi said: "At the beginning of the investment, one of my elders contributed the most, but he contributed a lot of money but did not contribute much, so he was only counted as 50% of the shares, and the rest were our three brothers. For the remaining 50%, I get 20%, Zhu Yong and the third brother each get 15%."

When Zhu Neng heard this, he became a little anxious. He pointed to Zhu Yong, who had a blue nose and a swollen face like a pig's head, and said, "Nephew, you can't say that. You see, although he is not smart, he has worked hard anyway. He even has to pay for this business." If someone discounted it, why don't you give him a little more, even if it's more than half."

Zhang Anshi took a deep look at Zhu Neng: "Shibo, you can't say that. Even if his bones weren't discounted here, wouldn't he still have to give Shibo a discount when he returned home? He would be discounted everywhere anyway. Good money?"

   "..."

   Zhu Neng fell into a brief silence.

   Then he actually felt quite reasonable, where is it not folded?

   Forget it, you have to be magnanimous!

  So Zhu Neng said happily again: "Oh, it's the same, it's the same, let's go, let's go to see the boat, to see the boat."

  He still kept an eye out, and he was relieved after seeing it himself.

Sure enough, at this ferry, there were many boats flying back and forth with black flags. Zhu Neng was very happy. He touched Zhu Neng's head and taught him a lesson: "This is not how fighting is fought. Father will teach you a trick to keep you victorious in every battle. "

  Zhu Yong said: "Father is willing to teach me the art of war, what is the trick."

  Zhu Neng said seriously: "There are many people, but few people bully them."

  Zhu Yong: "..."

Zhu Neng patiently explained: "The art of war is to gather elite soldiers and attack the weak ones. The essence of this is actually to fight where there are more people and where there are fewer people. When their defense line collapses, the entire army will also collapse. Son Ah, don't listen to the nonsense in the drama. Don't be reckless about such things. Tomorrow I will send you seven or eight veterans who followed me through life and death, and teach them to follow you. I want to see this Nanjing At the ferries all over the city, which dog would dare not open his eyes and dare to bully my dear nephew Zhang Xian on the head."

  Zhang Anshi changed the subject, "Did Shibo just say that he came by order?"

   "This... this... yes, Your Majesty has already had prejudice against you, so he ordered me to check it out."

  Zhang Anshi became serious: "I ask Shibo to find ways to speak well for me."

   "This..." Zhu Neng thought for a while, looked around vigilantly, but dragged Zhang Anshi to a corner, and said in a low voice, "What kind of words, this...can't be said."

"can not say?"

Zhu Neng said furtively: "Think about it, this is a good deal for Rijinjindoudou. If His Majesty finds out, what should I do? I have had a very difficult life, and now I have A little hope..."

  When Zhu Neng said this, he almost shed tears of 'poverty'.

  Zhang Anshi suddenly felt that the reckless Duke in front of him was not simple, and he had a lot of careful thoughts. Zhang Anshi said: "Shi Bo was born and died for His Majesty, why..."

   "It's different." Zhu Neng said solemnly: "I was born and died because of the reward of eating the emperor, and the matter of being loyal to the emperor. After eating the emperor's food, can I still retreat in the face of battle?"

  Zhu Neng paused: "You can give your majesty your life, but you can't give him our money. How can you give money after your life? Are you stupid as an old man?"

  Zhang Anshi's eyes were shocked, and he said immediately: "My nephew has been taught, but... how will Shibo reply?"

   "Don't worry about this, I will keep it on me, and I will never make you suffer, oops... who made you my dear nephew?"

  Zhang Anshi had goosebumps, and felt like picking up soap in prison.

   Fortunately, Zhu Neng didn't stay any longer and left contentedly.

   Having escaped a catastrophe, Zhang Anshi felt like he would survive the catastrophe.

  But now with Zhu Neng's support, things will be easier to handle. The second culprit in the capital is probably going to walk sideways in the capital.
