Chapter 88 Luxurious investment group, I also have a share in the construction (please subscribe!!)
the next day.
Outside Funing City.
The suburbs of the city, which were originally relatively deserted, were extremely lively today.
Luxurious carriages stopped one after another, and there were many servants standing around each luxury carriage. It looked like a gathering of rich people.
The people sitting in the carriage are either rich or noble.
There were also many people watching and talking around.
"Do you know who is sitting in that gold-encrusted carriage?"
"Who?"
"We have Di Hu, the richest man in Yong'an Mansion, the owner of Kaiping Silver Cabinet. Whenever we do business in Yong'an Mansion, we have to deal with him. He is the God of Wealth!"
"But I heard that the real boss of Kaiping Silver Cabinet is Prefect Ouyang, and Di Hu is just working for the prefect."
"Even if you are working part-time, you are still the God of Wealth!"
"There is also the largest carriage inlaid with gems. It is the car of Boss Zhao of the Lucky Gambling House. It can definitely be ranked among the top five in Yong'an Mansion!"
"What are these bosses? The really powerful ones are those low-key carriages, Mr. Ma, the special envoy of the King of Yan, and Mr. Li Fuyuan, the inspector-general."
"Hey, all these big shots are gathered together. What are they doing?"
"There must be something important, but it's definitely not something we can know."
Zhu Yuanzhang's carriage was also among the carriages at this moment, waiting for the arrival of Ouyang Lun's carriage along with the others.
"This battle is not small!"
Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly found that his carriage was a little shabby among the carriages. At this moment, he really wanted to take out his dragon.
Queen Ma sat on the side and saw Zhu Yuanzhang's thoughts, so she comforted him: "Your Majesty can see clearly the situation of this investment group."
"That's right, we want to see what other tricks Ouyang Lun can come up with!"
Zhu Yuanzhang nodded.
At this moment, a gong sounded.
thump—
"The prefect is here!"
Soon a large cart, which was about the same size as a "bus" but was pulled by twelve horses, appeared.
This cart is divided into two levels. The upper level has seats but no roof. Ouyang Lun is sitting on the upper level of the cart. He can look down on the surroundings just by sitting.
With the appearance of Ouyang Lun, the people who were sitting in the carriage also got out of the carriage one after another. They all looked at Ouyang Lun, either saluting, smiling, or clasping their fists.
"Meet the magistrate!"
"Hello, Master Prefect!"
The people around him greeted him warmly.
Then Ouyang Lun took out a "trumpet" and said: "Everyone who participates in this tour group should come on the 'bus', so there is no need to ride in a carriage alone. What a waste!"
"As for the slaves and guards, they will all be organized into the escort team and managed uniformly!" When Ouyang Lun said this, everyone had nothing to object. After all, they were guests and they had to follow the host's arrangements.
As a result, officials and wealthy businessmen boarded the "bus" one after another. At first, they were worried that they would not be used to sitting there, but the seats on the "bus" were extremely comfortable. Two people could do one thing, and more than a dozen people could sit down easily.
Zhu Yuanzhang also took Queen Ma on the "bus", which was much more luxuriously decorated than the "bus".
"Lao Zhu, Auntie, sit here."
When Ouyang Lun saw Zhu Yuanzhang and Empress Ma taking the initiative to say hello, he was arranged to sit in the second row of seats. Ouyang Lun's position was right in front of them, making communication very convenient.
All members of the visiting group got on the "bus", and other servants and guards were organized into escorts and followed behind.
"set off!"
Following Ouyang Lun's order, the motorcade set off along the cement road in a mighty manner, and the "bus" walked extremely smoothly.
"Lao Zhu, actually I wanted to organize this tour group yesterday, but something happened in the middle and I didn't expect that it was a near miss in the end, so I decided to schedule it today."
"You said why the Funing Guards suddenly withdrew yesterday? Could it be that you helped secretly?"
Ouyang Lun asked curiously.
Zhu Yuanzhang quickly shook his head, "Young man, you really think highly of me. Although I have some connections in the capital, if you want to change His Majesty the Emperor's mind, it is absolutely impossible. Maybe His Majesty the Emperor himself has changed his mind."
Hearing this, Ouyang Lun lowered his head and thought for a moment before nodding, "You said so. Only Emperor Zhu can change this matter. However, Funing County is so far away from the capital and Emperor Zhu is far away in the capital. Even if he changes the order, it will be too late." Well, then there is only one truth, and that is that Emperor Zhu is actually in Yong'an Mansion, or in a relatively close place like Peiping."
hiss--
Zhu Yuanzhang took a deep breath in his heart. Ouyang Lun is such a good boy. If he continues to guess, he may be exposed.
"You kid, you are overthinking. If His Majesty the Emperor were in Funing County and saw what you were doing, he would definitely kill you. Maybe from the beginning to the end, he just wanted to scare you and make you stop doing that. flagrant."
Forced to explain a wave.
"Old Zhu, your analysis is reliable. If Emperor Zhu really wants to kill me, I will indeed die." Ouyang Lun nodded, "What's wrong with Emperor Zhu recently? He keeps staring at Yong'an Mansion. Could it be that he doesn't?" Anything else?"
"Logically speaking, he should be thinking about how to deal with Hu Weiyong at this time!"
Hearing Ouyang Lun's muttering, Zhu Yuanzhang took the initiative to change the subject, "You brought so many people together, are you just going to inspect the shipyard and dock?"
Ouyang Lun nodded, "Yes! The shipyard and the wharf are important pieces for me to take the next step. Those on the 'bus' today are all my important partners. Whether Yong'an Mansion can develop better in the future depends on Look at the shipyards and docks!”
It seems that Ouyang Lun is very confident in overseas trade, and Zhu Yuanzhang is also becoming more and more curious about shipyards and docks.
Along the way, the atmosphere inside the "bus" was quite lively. Officials and wealthy businessmen were lamenting the changes in Yong'an Mansion in the past two years.
"I once went from Funing County to Jieshi County, but at that time the road was rugged and narrow, it was difficult to cross the carriage, and it was dangerous to ride a horse. It took at least half a month to walk!"
"Now it has become a flat and broad road. Even if two carriages go side by side, there will be no problem."
"I also heard that there used to be a lot of bandits and bandits on this road. You have to be careful every time you take this road. It's best to go in groups. Now all the bandits and bandits have disappeared. I heard that I have accepted the recruitment, or been dismissed on the spot, and become a good citizen, I wonder if this can be true?"
"It is true that I am the magistrate of Yong'an Prefecture, and I personally supervised this matter. Most of the bandits and bandits in Funing County and Jieshi County have joined the workers, and they all contributed to the construction of this county road. "
Hearing this, Zhu Yuanzhang also thought of those prosperous years. He had also contributed to the construction of this road!
A sense of pride actually arose in my heart!I also have a share in the construction of Yong'an Mansion! "Master Magistrate, we have arrived in Jieshi County!"
