Chapter 93
: A long life
On the second day, the lights and decorations of each household were very lively.
Zhu Ye also prepared the New Year's Eve dinner early and sent someone to the Five Army Capital Mansion to inform his grandfather.
Zhu Yuanzhang had no choice but to attend the New Year banquet in the palace, as the emperor, but as much as he drank, he used the excuse that he could not drink, so he went back to the house and changed his clothes and secretly ran to Zhu Ye's house.
"Jiang Yan, why do we feel guilty when we are thief?"
Before Zhu Yuanzhang entered the door, he looked at the gate with the plaque hanging in front of him, and he felt like he was a different life.
"If the emperor is right, the emperor has also made good efforts for the young master."
Jiang Qixin said that you are more than just a model and are guilty, and you are almost hiding the beauty in the golden house.
However, Jiang Yan did not dare to say this, so he had to respectfully explain Zhu Yuanzhang.
"Well, you're right, we just use our best intentions.
Because of our good intentions, we have to let our grandson drink two more drinks with us today."
After Zhu Yuanzhang finished speaking, he smiled and pushed the door open.
Jiang Yan was ashamed behind Zhu Yuanzhang. When his own emperor arrived at Zhu Ye's mansion, he had no image of an emperor, and he was an old naughty boy fighting wits and courage with his grandson.
As soon as he entered the door, Zhu Yuanzhang was stunned by the scene in front of him.
The last time I saw this scene, it was when Zhu Ye was storing grain and grass before the snow disaster.
But now the food and grass in front of me have been replaced with herbs, which are piled up neatly and orderly in Zhu Ye's yard.
"grandfather."
Zhu Ye was the first to see Zhu Yuanzhang and quickly came out.
Because the Zeng brothers and Ma Sanbao had no relatives, they were both left at home for the New Year by Zhu Ye and were in the house at this time.
Seeing Zhu Yuanzhang enter the room, the three of them immediately stood up from the table and stood respectfully aside.
"It's okay, today's New Year, there is no order in the high and low, so let's sit down and have fun together."
Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand and didn't care at all.
The Zeng brothers and Jiang Yan looked at each other and swallowed saliva involuntarily.
Ma Sanbao and Zhu Ye didn't know Zhu Yuanzhang's identity, but they knew it very well.
Although Zhu Yuanzhang didn't care about it now, he would not be able to cut his head in the future.
Ma Sanbao entered the table with Zhu Ye casually. Seeing that the three of them were not moving, he turned his head in confusion and asked, "Why don't you sit?"
"Hahaha, they are afraid of us. Let's just sit there. We have no high or low status today, and we don't have official positions, so we just have a meal together."
Zhu Yuanzhang glanced at Jiang Yan and the Zeng brothers, and the majesty in his eyes was undeniable.
Seeing this, the three of them sat at the table with their teeth and wanted to dig a crack in the floor to bury themselves.
Zhu Yuanzhang didn't care, and smiled and swallowed the wine Zhu Ye poured him into a good wine, and tasted it happily. Then he remembered to ask Zhu Ye: "Sun son, what is the pile in your yard outside."
"Oh, grandpa, the last time the Princess of Baiqiguo gave her grandson a golden grass. The grandson thought it was good and wanted to start some herbal business after the New Year."
Zhu Ye poured wine and picked up food for Zhu Yuanzhang, and explained to Zhu Yuanzhang again.
"This is a good thing, you always have the foresight."
Zhu Yuanzhang heard Zhu Ye say it was for emergency needs.
These herbs are all rare medicines in the Ming Dynasty.
It has magical effects on plagues or infectious diseases.
Zhu Ye not only wanted to purchase and sell it, and to circulate it on the market, but even wanted to cultivate and cultivate it in the Ming Dynasty.
Once these herbs were planted on a large scale in the Ming Dynasty, it would be a good thing for the people and the country.
"But you said that these herbs were transported from Baiqi and Gaomi. How did you get them in just a few days?"
It seemed as if something flashed through Zhu Yuanzhang's heart.
"It's the express delivery I told my grandfather last time, but I told him the official road station, but I borrowed the business roads dedicated to merchants from all over the country."
“These business roads are faster than official roads and save more time.
But there are also certain risks, after all, there is no official majesty."
"Fortunately, these herbs are worthless in the eyes of others, so few people think of them, so they were transported to their homes so quickly."
Zhu Ye actually took risks, but fortunately, because the official road was managed by merchants, the risk was not as great as expected.
When Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, his eyes lit up. It turned out that Zhu Ye's method was really feasible. Seeing that it was true, Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help but think about it in his mind.
"According to your method, if the government and businessman combine, let the merchants take the official road for transportation, but correspondingly let the merchants transport the military supplies on time for border transportation."
"Will the efficiency be even greater in the combination of officials and businessmen?"
Zhu Yuanzhang smacked his lips and expressed his thoughts.
"grandfather."
Zhu Ye obviously didn't expect his grandfather to say that.
After thinking about it carefully, this method is actually a good method, but it is not enough to implement this matter by just talking casually between two people.
"It's OK, but the emperor still has to nod."
"In fact, such mutually beneficial things are good ways to benefit the Emperor or these merchants."
Zhu Ye felt that what his grandfather said was indeed feasible, and he couldn't help but admire his grandfather as an official, and his vision was much higher than that of him.
Seeing things is much more comprehensive than myself, you can even think of making a big fuss about the combination of official and business.
"What grandfather thinks and concerns are not something grandson can catch up with when he sees it. It seems that grandson still needs to learn from grandfather."
Zhu Ye sincerely picked up the wine glass and said to Zhu Yuanzhang,
"That's right, or we can be your grandfather.
It's okay, we will teach you slowly in the future.
I hope God can let us live for a few more years and teach you everything we know."
Zhu Yuanzhang felt a little moved for a moment.
"If grandpa is not there, grandpa is a person who will live for a long time and live forever."
Zhu Ye didn't want to hear his grandfather say such despicable words during the New Year, so he quickly raised his glass to stop his grandfather's words.
"Come on, let's have a drink together, and hope we will be safe and happy, healthy and all the best in the coming year."
As Zhu Ye finished speaking, the crackling sound of firecrackers outside started, and a table of people raised their glasses to celebrate.
