Chapter 230 Uncle Ma, Uncle Tang, and Uncle Xu are together! (Please subscribe!!)
"Cough cough!"
Hearing Ouyang Lun's words, Zhu Yuanzhang almost choked to death.
Then he glared at Ouyang Lun fiercely, "Emotionally, you are expecting me to die! Are you very disappointed that I didn't die?"
Ouyang Lun shook his head, "How is that possible!"
"It's not like what happened with rapeseed oil last time. My emperor's father-in-law is so ruthless. Not to mention your life in his hands, it's hard for me to survive in his hands!"
"But fortunately, we all survived!"
Zhu Yuanzhang naturally understood what Ouyang Lun meant. From the perspective of the businessman "Uncle Ma", it was indeed because of the "rapeseed oil" that he was deceived miserably, and the most profitable "Ma Ji Oil Shop" in his hands was "evil" The emperor took it away by himself. Not only did he make no money, he almost lost his life, and because Zhu Yuanzhang himself could not serve as the general manager of the "Da Ming Oil Company", it was equivalent to not getting an official position.
Of course, "Uncle Ma" is just Zhu Yuanzhang's vest to deal with Ouyang Lun, and it is impossible to fully represent "Uncle Ma"'s true feelings. However, when he thinks of what Ouyang Lun has done in Beizhili recently, Zhu Yuanzhang is furious. Come!
"You still have the nerve to say that if I hadn't been around in the capital, you wouldn't have even thought of escaping!" After Zhu Yuanzhang finished speaking, he added: "After all, we are doing this 'rapeseed oil' business together!"
"Yes, yes." Ouyang Lun nodded repeatedly and changed from hugging Zhu Yuanzhang to hugging Zhu Yuanzhang with one hand. "Uncle Ma, when I heard that you were arrested by my emperor father-in-law, I really thought you were dead."
"Don't you have great hands and eyes and strong connections? Why haven't you been tougher than my emperor's father-in-law? This time you did it simply because you were too ostentatious. You spread it across the thirteen provinces of the Ming Dynasty and the North and South Zhili in one breath. This is not being noticed by anyone. It’s strange, even if my emperor’s father-in-law doesn’t take action, those high officials in the court won’t take action?”
Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes widened and he asked in a muffled voice: "Are you still blaming me?!"
"Ahem, Uncle Ma, don't be impatient." Ouyang Lun patted Zhu Yuanzhang on the shoulder, "This time things are indeed beyond my expectations, but fortunately the ending is good, the rapeseed oil is handed over to Daming The imperial court sells them together, and the emperor, the officials, the people, and I divide the interests, which can be regarded as a multi-party benefit."
"Have you forgotten me?" Zhu Yuanzhang asked with a sneer.
"Uncle Ma, although I didn't give you any shares, I didn't ask the emperor's father-in-law to appoint you as the general shopkeeper of the second rank, in charge of the 'Da Ming Oil Company'. This is the top leader of a state-owned enterprise! To put it bluntly, you are an imperial merchant. Before you Ma family We haven't reached this point yet." Ouyang Lun said earnestly: "If you run out of money, you can make more money, but the reputation of these imperial merchants and state-owned enterprises cannot be compared with money, do you understand?"
Zhu Yuanzhang rolled his eyes at Ouyang Lun. If he really became the general manager of the 'Da Ming Oil Company', wouldn't he be exposed?
"I refused." Zhu Yuanzhang said calmly.
"Rejected?! Why!" Ouyang Lun was puzzled. "It took me a long time to figure out this way to compensate you, and the emperor's father-in-law would most likely agree. After all, your Ma family is responsible for the management of the Daming Oil Company. It was the most suitable one, but you rejected it, which makes me very sad!"
"No reason, I just don't want to do it." Seeing Ouyang Lun's anxious look, Zhu Yuanzhang felt a little happier. If you ask me to make you angry, I will also make you angry.
"Um" Ouyang Lun was speechless, "No, Uncle Ma. Even if you don't want to be an official, you can still let Brother Ma do it! He is more talented than you in business, and he has a gentle and kind personality. He is simply He was born to be an imperial merchant."
"If you don't do it as an father, then naturally you can't do it as a son." Zhu Yuanzhang pouted his lips and said arrogantly.
"You are really a feudal patriarch!" Ouyang Lun said speechlessly.
Then he waved his hand and said, "That's all. In fact, it is a wise choice not to be an official in the Ming Dynasty, especially for my father-in-law, the emperor. Uncle Ma, just don't do it. At worst, I will think of other projects to cooperate with you later, which can be considered a wise choice. Make it up to you."
"Think about it. You have been honest with my emperor father-in-law before. Now the emperor's father-in-law has taken your Ma family's property by force. It is reasonable for you not to work for him, but you can refuse my emperor's father-in-law. , Uncle Ma. He has backbone! I admire him!"
After saying that, Ouyang Lun gave Zhu Yuanzhang a thumbs-up.
Just when the corners of Zhu Yuanzhang's mouth twitched, Ouyang Lun came closer and whispered: "Uncle Ma, do you want me to help you deal with my emperor's father-in-law this time?"
"Let me tell you, although I also dislike him, he is my father-in-law and my wife's father after all. There is no way I can help you on this point."
"But my suggestion to you is that since you are not willing to work for my emperor's father-in-law, and it is difficult to rebel now, you might as well go to sea to conquer the world, occupy a larger island and become the king, and slowly develop, and one day you can kill Come back to the mainland."
"Choosing my emperor's father-in-law as your opponent is equivalent to challenging the hell mode. There will be many emperors in the Ming Dynasty in the future! At your current age, if you wait for more than ten or twenty years until the second emperor of the Ming Dynasty comes to the throne, the chances will be great. ! Turn on simple mode directly."
"Really, you must listen to my advice! In the rapeseed oil incident, if I hadn't been smart enough, we would all be dead."
"This situation cannot happen again."
Seeing Ouyang Lun talking nonsense seriously, Zhu Yuanzhang wanted to slap this guy. Although he restrained himself in the end and did not take action, his face was already darkened.
Bastard bastard, according to what you say, even people who don't want to rebel will be called rebels!
"I say again, I have no intention of rebellion and no reason to rebel. This matter is not allowed to be discussed again."
Zhu Yuanzhang said in a deep voice.
Hearing this, Ouyang Lun was stunned for a moment, then nodded, "I understand, I understand. There are many people here and it is not the right place to discuss this. This is my problem!"
"Uncle Ma, don't worry, I, Ouyang Lun, will never betray my friends no matter what I do!"
This guy is completely hopeless. Why did we choose you as the number one pick in the first place, and why did our daughter choose you as our consort! !
Anyway, he couldn't explain clearly to Ouyang Lun, and Zhu Yuanzhang was too lazy to talk anymore.
"Uncle Ma, do you have any ideas when you come to Beizhili this time?"
Ouyang Lun asked curiously.
Zhu Yuanzhang rolled his eyes at Ouyang Lun and said angrily: "Are you going to let us stand outside and talk to you like this?"
Then Zhu Yuanzhang sniffed his nose again, "What's the smell? It's so fragrant?"
"Ahem, look, I was so excited that I forgot to invite Uncle Ma and Aunt Ma in." Ouyang Lun gave up half of his body and made an inviting gesture with one hand, "Inside, a whole lamb is being roasted and stewed. Haggis soup, you came at the right time!"
Roasted Lamb!
Haggis soup!
No wonder it smells so good, feelings are delicious!
"Could it be that your kid didn't want my aunt and I to eat on purpose?"
"No way! I was so excited to see you that I forgot, let's go!" Ouyang Lun hugged Zhu Yuanzhang and went inside, "I just want to introduce you to two old friends!"
Old friend?Could it be
While Zhu Yuanzhang was thinking, a voice came from inside the house.
"Nephew Ouyang Xian, what's the matter with you? This roasted whole lamb is almost ready, but you are still outside. If you don't come in, the third child and I will finish eating!"
After the voice fell, Tang He and Xu Da walked out.
Uh-huh! !
When Zhu Yuanzhang saw Tang He and Xu Da, his expression became a little strange and a little angry.
When Tang He and Xu Da saw Zhu Yuanzhang, their expressions were startled, and there was a flash of panic. "Haha, second uncle and third uncle, look who is here?" Ouyang Lun still put his hand on Zhu Yuanzhang's shoulder and hugged Zhu Yuanzhang, "My uncle Ma is a wealthy businessman in the capital. Second uncle and third uncle, you must all be here." Do you know me?"
"Know each other!"
Tang He and Xu Da nodded repeatedly.
"Uncle Ma, this is Uncle Tang and Uncle Tang. He is the Duke of Mingxin. You must know him. If you hadn't recommended Uncle Tang to come to my place, my uncle and I wouldn't have been so close!" Ouyang Lun only thought. He introduced himself, "This is Uncle Xu Da and Xu. He is the Duke of Wei in the Ming Dynasty. You may not be too familiar with him. He leads troops here in Beizhili all year round. You are in the capital all year round. But we are all gathered together today. It is fate." !”
"Give me Ouyang Lun some respect. Let's sit at the same table and enjoy a mutton feast today!"
"Uncle Ma, are you okay? I have prepared your favorite Maotai wine for you!"
"I have no problem. You have to ask the two "lords" Wei Guogong and Xin Guogong if they have any problem." Zhu Yuanzhang said with a smile.
"We have no problem either." Tang He and Xu Da nodded again.
"Brother Ma, sister-in-law, please go first!"
Tang He and Xu Da decisively stepped aside to let Zhu Yuanzhang and Queen Ma go in first.
Ouyang Lun put his hand on Zhu Yuanzhang's shoulder and naturally followed him in. Tang He and Xu Da looked at each other helplessly and hurried to follow.
Entering the house, Ouyang Lun sat directly at the main seat. He originally thoughtfully placed Tang He on his left. After all, Tang He was the Duke of the country, but Tang He humbly let "Uncle Ma" do it. He and Xu Da He sat on Ouyang Lun's right hand side.
"Brother Tang, when did you become so humble?" Ouyang Lun was a little surprised.
"Good nephew! You call me Uncle Tang, Uncle Xu Da, Third Uncle Xu, and Boss Ma, Uncle Ma. Among the three of us, Brother Ma is the oldest. If you are the host today, he should naturally be on your left. If according to official positions, Depending on the level, you can't sit upright." Tang He had an idea and explained.
Hearing this, Ouyang Lun nodded, extended his thumb, and gave Tang He a thumbs up, "As expected of my second uncle. In terms of human sophistication, you are the best!"
Everyone sits down at once.
The roasted whole lamb and stewed haggis soup are also ready.
The whole room was filled with fragrance.
Zhu Yuanzhang swallowed his saliva and stared at the roasted whole lamb and haggis soup. Although Zhu Yuanzhang was the emperor, his daily diet was quite simple, just one meat and two vegetables.
Maybe it’s because I haven’t had a big meal for a long time, but the key is that the roasted whole lamb and haggis soup are so delicious.
"Uncle Ma came all the way from the capital to Beizhili. He definitely didn't have a good meal along the way. Let's eat, drink and chat!"
"Second uncle, third uncle, what's going on with you two? Why have you suddenly become so reserved? Uncle Ma is not an outsider."
"Come on, I suggest we have a drink!"
After a few drinks, the atmosphere gradually became lively.
Ouyang Lun put his arm around Zhu Yuanzhang's shoulders again, "Uncle Ma, can you tell me now why you and your aunt came to see me this time?"
"If you want to get involved in the Great Wall construction site to make some money, I can only say sorry. You also know that our new city project was jointly overdrafted by the imperial court, my emperor's father-in-law, hundreds of cultural relic officials and more than a dozen businessmen, and Some businessmen also donated a lot of money."
"I've been doing this for several months, and all aspects have been divided. I can't steal other people's shares and give it to you. Of course, there are some side businesses, and I only earn some hard-earned money. You alone The big boss doesn’t need to steal their food, right?”
"But don't worry, I also have some responsibility for the rapeseed oil incident. I will definitely think of a good project for you!"
After speaking, Ouyang Lun blinked and looked at Zhu Yuanzhang.
After hearing what Ouyang Lun said, Zhu Yuanzhang originally felt a little better after eating some delicious food, but the result was bad again.
"I said Ouyang Lun, just keep talking. Why do you have to put your hand on my shoulder?"
"Ahem, sorry, sorry, I'm used to it."
Ouyang Lun took his hand back and sat back down.
Seeing that Ouyang Lun was more honest, Zhu Yuanzhang's expression softened a little.
"To tell you the truth, I'm here to save you this time."
"Save me?" Hearing this, Ouyang Lun was stunned and asked curiously: "Uncle Ma, what do you mean by this? I, Ouyang Lun, am alive and well, why do I need someone to save me? Besides, I didn't do anything. Things that are harmful to nature cannot be punished by God. If it were, you wouldn't be able to save me!"
Seeing this, Empress Ma quickly spoke to comfort her: "Ouyang, the thing is like this. Your Uncle Ma and I heard some unfavorable news for you in the capital, and we were worried that you would be in danger, so we came to Beizhili." Yes, I just want to give you some advice."
"Unfavorable news? Auntie, what news is spreading in the capital!?" Ouyang Lun asked quickly.
"Don't you know this?" Zhu Yuanzhang said angrily.
Ouyang Lun shook his head, "Uncle Ma, I really don't know what you and your aunt are talking about. I am staying well in Beizhili, why should I care about things in the capital thousands of miles away? I have nothing to do." Are you panicking?"
"By the way, you haven't told me yet what bad news this is!"
"Is it possible that it has something to do with my cheap emperor father-in-law again? This guy is really jealous. After becoming the emperor, he became more and more suspicious. He always suspected that I had any bad intentions. I really gave in." Ouyang Lun complained crazily.
Listening to Ouyang Lun's complaints.
Queen Ma, Tang He, and Xu Da all looked shocked and worried.
Zhu Yuanzhang was so angry that he clenched his fists.
Seeing this, Empress Ma quickly said, "Ouyang Lun, this matter is indeed related to the current emperor."
"Didn't an imperial envoy come to Beizhili before?"
"I know! Aunt, you are talking about the guy named Zhou, right?"
