Chapter 154 The Powerless Zhu Biao
Zhu Biao put a lot of effort into the overseas trade plan.
On the first day, Zhu Biao stayed in the palace and searched all the information of overseas barbarian countries and some books about overseas trade caravans one by one.
But the plan was not moved.
The next day, Zhu Biao invited all the naval generals left in Yingtian City and asked each of them for detailed consultation on the status of the naval army!
In addition to learning that Tang He was in eastern Zhejiang and surrendering Fang Guozhen, he directly obtained more than 20,000 naval soldiers and more than 400 large and small sea ships. The strength of the Ming Navy doubled.
I am still confused about the overseas trade plan!
However, Zhu Biao finally got to know each other with half of the navy generals in the Ming Dynasty.
However, it is still useless for making plans.
Zhu Biao has asked the navy generals how to make plans, but they are useless. It is okay to let the navy generals lead the troops directly, eliminate the water bandits, or burn ships on the water war.
However, if these generals who don’t know the big words and don’t know what kind of plan to make, they will undoubtedly force a literati with no power to get on the horse with a machete and lead the troops to fight!
There are even many naval generals who have not yet left the sea. They know nothing about the sea conditions that have been storms and waves all year round.
Zhu Yuanzhang saw all the things he did with Zhu Biao. However, he did not ask any questions.
This made the navy generals who were still intriguing and waiting for the emperor to inquire were disappointed.
That's it. Until the sixth day, Zhu Biao's face was pale and haggard, his hair was messy and his clothes were disheveled. He stared at the white paper in front of him, which had been on the desk table for five days.
On the white paper, there are only four big words in the past five days: the sea trade plan!
Zhu Biao murmured to himself, looking like a madman, looking at Wanxi beside him, feeling deeply distressed.
"Wanxi, go and invite Jingshi Tang again!"
Suddenly, Zhu Biao raised his head suddenly and ordered Wanxi.
"Yes, Your Highness..."
Wanxi's body trembled violently, and was startled by Zhu Biao's sudden sound.
Then, he subconsciously bowed his hands to make a compilation and retreated out of the hall.
However, after just a few steps, he seemed to realize something, and stopped hesitantly and tentatively said: "Your Highness!"
"Hmm? What's the matter?"
Zhu Biao looked up at Wanxi and asked directly.
"Your Highness, this is your fifth time asking Jingshi Tang!" Wan Xi said.
"Hmm? Is this inappropriate?"
Zhu Biao asked.
It’s a big problem! Every time, I invite the Censor Tang to come, I ask the same question.
I don’t know if the Censor Tang is upset, but Wanxiu is already listening to it and can recite it!
Wan Xi hesitated for a moment, then gritted her teeth and said, "Your Highness, I actually think that the maritime trade plan should be formulated. Why don't you ask Xiao Zhenren to try it?"
"Brother Zi'an?"
Zhu Biao was stunned, then looked regretful.
"Yes, it was Brother Zi'an who proposed this plan. Why did he always have to be obsessed with those naval generals?"
Then, he hesitated and said, "Wanxi, do you think Brother Zi'an know how to make a plan?"
"This? Your Highness, I just think that since Xiao Zhenren proposed this plan, at least Xiao Zhenren must know how to implement this plan..."
Wanxi looked happy, bowed slightly, and said slowly.
"Okay, Wanxi, change your clothes, leave the palace immediately!"
Before Wan Xi finished speaking, Zhu Biao was overjoyed. He put down the pen in his hand and stood up with a happy expression.
"yes!"
Wanxi quickly stood up straight, followed Zhu Biao and walked quickly towards the bedroom.
...
Zhenyi Restaurant.
Private room No. 5 on the fifth floor.
Zhu Zi'an and Xuan Pingzi sat on the table, unconsciously holding the glass cup containing juice and gently pursing it. While his eyes were dull, he looked at the Juhai shop below.
These days, since the Juhai Store was opened, Zhu Zian would come over and sit for a while when he was free.
Every time I come, Juhai shop downstairs can bring even greater surprises to Zhu Zi'an.
These days, I don’t know what happened to Juhai Store?
On the first day of opening, there were more customers.
However, from the next day, the customers dropped sharply, and the situation was very strange.
Chen Wansi thought that it was the rich and noble people, and they were suddenly busy and didn't bother to come to the store to wander around.
However, on the third day, the number of customers came to the store was even smaller, and even some officials who had friendship with the Shen family gradually stopped coming.
Chen Wansi, who had many years of business experience, immediately realized that something was wrong.
However, Chen Wansi was not allowed to come to the door with a gift and use any tricks, and he could not see anyone. He only said one sentence: The master is not at home!
Something big is wrong!
Chen Wansi is not stupid. This is the case for an official, and all officials are also in this situation.
There is only one possibility, there is a big shot at the Shen family.
Uncontrollably, a name appeared in Chen Wansi's mind: Prince Zhu Biao!
However, Chen Wansi was just annoyed and regretful, and felt helpless. If Prince Zhu Biao wanted to deliberately suppress Juhai shop, he would really not be able to fight.
He could only ignore it silently, at least he was familiar with the shopkeepers and gentlemen. Chen Wansi was confident that he had no need to worry about the prince's malicious targeting with the Shen family's property.
However, what Chen Wansi didn't expect most was that the shopkeepers and gentlemen did not dare to come after seeing that the officials and nobles did not come.
Today, the Juhai shop that is decorated with luxurious decoration is very miserable. In the store, except for him, the shopkeeper and the waiter, there are a group of ordinary people in simple clothes or poor people with many patches. These people are all staring with big eyes and timidly wandering around the store.
And these people, Guanyou is really Guanyou, because even the cheapest bronze mirror can't afford it!
The Zhenyi Store next door has an increasing number of customers. Since Juhai Store moved in, the business of Zhenyi Store has been getting better and better every day.
It’s like Juhai Store is here to send customers to Zhenyi Store!
Chen Wansi was at the door, and walked around and then again.
The more I look at it, the more upset you feel!
What made Chen Wansi angry the most was that just now, he actually saw several very familiar shopkeepers passing by his shop together. Moreover, they turned their heads and pretended not to know him, and went straight to the next door of Zhenyi shop.
Chen Wansi, who was already holding his breath, snorted coldly and walked into the store with a pale face.
"A group of shameless villains who change their minds when they see the wind, fence-bearers! I'm useless to have been working with you and others for so many years. I'm really blind..."
