Chapter 87: Zhu Yuanzhang is captured, but he still needs to invest (please subscribe!!) After eating, drinking, and having a full set of foot washing and massage in heaven and earth, Zhu Yuanzhang was taken to Lucky Casino by Li Fuyuan and the others for a night of fun!
The three of them, Li Fuyuan, are indeed good at attracting businessmen. They used all the means to entertain businessmen on Zhu Yuanzhang. Zhu Yuanzhang could maintain the dignity of the emperor at the beginning, but later he completely let it go and danced directly on the stage of heaven and earth! After a night of playing, Zhu Yuanzhang was very happy and relaxed, and was finally carried back to the restaurant.
Come out of the restaurant.
Li Fuyuan, He Fang, and Wu Jingzhi let out a heavy sigh.
Accompanying you is like accompanying a tiger, and they experienced the most thrilling night.
“I didn’t expect that we could survive even though we spent hundreds of thousands of dollars on food and drinks with public funds!”
He Fang couldn't help but sigh.
"Yes! And we were still caught in the act by His Majesty the Emperor. We were not skinned and stuffed with grass. It is simply God's blessing! If we say this, who would believe it!" Wu Jingzhi became more and more frightened as he thought about it.
"Your Majesty had so much fun yesterday. It seems that Your Majesty is also a human being and needs to relax. However, we cannot tell anyone about this matter, otherwise it will be a disaster!" Li Fuyuan warned.
"Don't worry, Mr. Li, what happened last night will definitely be rotten in your stomach." He Fang nodded heavily.
"But if Ouyang Lun asks, how should we answer?" Wu Jingzhi frowned slightly.
"Of course we can't say it!" Li Fuyuan said solemnly: "Don't you see it? His Majesty the Emperor doesn't want Ouyang Lun to know that he has come to Yong'an Mansion. Moreover, Mr. Mao from Jinyiwei specially reminded me yesterday that this matter must be done We can't let Ouyang Lun know about it, we have to keep this matter secret."
"Don't forget, Ouyang Lun and His Majesty the Emperor have not only a monarch-subject relationship, but also a son-in-law relationship. If we can survive this time, Ouyang Lun's relationship is indispensable."
"If this kind of thing had happened to another person, I'm afraid he would have been dead as early as the opening of the Pingliang grain case. But Ouyang Lun was not only fine, but he was promoted. This is enough to show that His Majesty the Emperor attaches great importance to Ouyang Lun. Maybe in the future Go higher than us and farther than us!”
Wu Jingzhi suddenly said, "Yes! His Majesty the Emperor is so wise that he may have already seen the essence of the matter clearly. The reason why he asked us like that yesterday was to test our true attitude towards Ouyang Lun. If he pushed Ouyang Lun away for self-protection, If you come out and take the blame, maybe the heads of the three of us have already been moved!"
"Hiss - after listening to your two analysis, I think it makes sense! Fortunately, we firmly support Ouyang Lun." He Fang touched his neck, with a look of fear on his face.
Li Fuyuan nodded, "The emperor's heart is unfathomable, and we don't have to judge ourselves. But one thing is unquestionable, that is, the three of us must work harder to support Ouyang Lun from now on. As long as we stand with Ouyang Lun, The edge is absolutely stable.”
"That's right!"
"Great!"
Funing Restaurant.
On the soft big bed, when only Queen Ma was left in the room, Zhu Yuanzhang sat up from the bed with a quick glance.
This shocked Queen Ma.
"Chongba, aren't you drunk?"
Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes were treacherous, and he smiled and said: "We lied to them, we were not drunk at all!"
"You're not drunk?" Empress Ma was stunned for a moment, then suddenly said: "Are you doing it to show Li Fuyuan and the others?"
Zhu Yuanzhang nodded, "Well, if I'm not drunk, how can the three of them feel at ease?"
Empress Ma smiled and said, "You are the only one with a bright mind." "Tell me, what was your harvest this time?"
Zhu Yuanzhang frowned and said, "Don't talk about it. Not only did we not get conclusive evidence of Ouyang Lun's corruption, we almost got involved ourselves."
“But it’s not all without gain.”
"At least it's confirmed that Ouyang Lun didn't lie to us. It's just that they spend too much money on investment. They threw hundreds of thousands of wasted money into it. They are not frugal at all. It makes me feel sad to see it."
"We see that the people of Yong'an Mansion are living well, so let's leave this matter alone for now."
After hearing this, Empress Ma smiled and said, "In that case, shall we return to the capital?"
Zhu Yuanzhang shook his head decisively, "I haven't had enough fun yet. Ahem, I haven't figured out Ouyang Lun's specific strength yet!"
"Ouyang Lun keeps saying that he wants to go to sea for trade, and he specially built a shipyard and dock in Jieshi County. We want to find out what his strength is."
"This is my secret. I'm afraid you won't be allowed to visit it easily." Queen Ma frowned.
"Didn't Ouyang Lun invite us to become a shareholder last time? I chose to consider it. If we agreed to become a shareholder and asked to observe the shipyard and dock, he would not refuse this request." Zhu Yuanzhang said in a deep voice: "Sister, we It’s decided, invest 100 million!”
Empress Ma was a little surprised, "Chongba, you were very cautious yesterday. Why did you agree to invest just after you came back from a trip?"
"That's not because they entertained me well. Ahem, it's because we saw that the officials and people of Yong'an Prefecture are united. Maybe Ouyang Lun can really succeed in overseas trade, and my 100 million investment may not be in vain."
"Yesterday Li Fuyuan and the others told us that we can't just keep money, otherwise it will depreciate. It's like a sesame seed cake worth ten cents. One million taels can make one hundred million sesame seed pancakes. But next year, the price of sesame seed pancakes will rise to twenty cents. Then, I can only buy 100 million sesame seed cakes, which means my 5000 million has depreciated by half!"
“So if there is a good investment opportunity, you must not let it go.”
Zhu Yuanzhang said with great seriousness: "That boy Zhu Di bought 20 taels of Yongan bonds last year and earned tens of thousands of taels in interest, but I didn't make any profit on my 100 million, but instead lost tens of thousands. We feel bad!" "
It was also the first time for Queen Ma to hear such a theory, and she nodded blankly, "It seems to make sense."
"Mao Xiang!"
"I'm here." Mao Xiang walked in from outside.
"Let someone go to the government office to deliver a message. Just say that we are going to the government office to see Ouyang Lun. If you want to ask anything, just say that we have decided to invest in overseas projects!" Zhu Yuanzhang said loudly.
"Yes, I will do it now." Mao Xiang responded and turned to leave.
Soon, Mao Xiang came back to report, "Your Majesty, Ouyang Lun sent someone to write back, saying that if he is investing in an overseas project, he will gather directly outside the city tomorrow morning. Yong'an Mansion has organized an investment visiting group and specially invited them. Investors who have invested in or are willing to invest in overseas projects will start from Funing County and travel along Fujie County Road, ending at the shipyard and Jieshi Shipyard."
"Investment tour group?!" Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes lit up, "It's quite innovative."
"Okay, then we will go outside the city tomorrow. I want to see who are investing in overseas projects!"
