Chapter 222 Shen Wansan’S Request For Help! Ye Xuan Meets Zhu Yuanzhang!
Chapter 222 Shen Wansan’s request for help! Ye Xuan meets Zhu Yuanzhang!
"Dad, will you and eldest brother stay in the capital longer?"
Shen Rong asked from the main seat.
Shen Wansan stroked his beard.
"It will probably stay for a while."
"I came to the capital to see you on the one hand, and to deal with some things on the other.
Dealing with things?
Shen Rong was confused.
But he didn't ask any more questions.
She guessed it was a matter of business.
"If my father-in-law and brother-in-law need to stay in the capital for a while, they might as well live here, so that they don't have to clean up the mansion over there.
Ye Xuan suggested.
Shen Wansan and Shen Jinzheng had this intention.
They readily accepted it.
After staying at Ye Xuan's mansion for two days, Shen Wansan and his son went to the study to look for Ye Xuan.
"Son-in-law, I have something to ask."
Shen Wansan looked at Ye Xuan, who was sitting behind the desk and looked as noble as a handsome young man, stroking his hands and asking.
Ye Xuan glanced at the two people.
"What's the matter?"
"It's like this. Now that the Ming Dynasty has lifted the sea ban, doesn't it still support merchants to do business? I just want to ask, in our situation, can we go to sea to do business?"
"You are from the imperial court, you should know that, right?"
Shen Wansan asked solemnly.
Now the Ming Dynasty has been unable to stop the sea.
But the embarrassing thing is that he promised in front of Zhu Yuanzhang that he would not engage in maritime trade.
If he engages in sea trade.
Isn't this a slap in the face?
A slap in the face is not the most important thing.
The most important thing is that he is afraid that Zhu Yuanzhang will punish him in the name of bullying the emperor.
Maritime trade was so profitable.
He didn't want to see this wasted money being made by others.
This time he came to the capital, firstly to visit Shen Rong, and secondly to ask Ye Xuan to ask his superiors whether the Shen family could go to sea to do business.
"Brother-in-law, maritime trade is very important to our Shen family."
"Being unable to conduct maritime trade is a major blow to our Shen family, which is equivalent to losing a large part of our income.
"The ships we built before are now empty because they cannot carry out maritime trade."
"Those crew members can't work."
“We will continue to pay them here~~.
"Whether we can conduct sea trade is very important to our Shen family."
"Brother-in-law, is there anything you can do?"
Shen Jin looked anxious and pleading.
The Shen family only had one official backer, Ye Xuan, and the only one who could help them was Ye Xuan, so they had no choice but to look for Ye Xuan.
Ye Xuan is their only hope.
Although Shen Jin said it seriously, maritime trade is indeed very important to their Shen family.
Sea trade cannot be carried out.
The Shen family has undoubtedly lost a large part of their income.
Although the Shen family is now extremely wealthy, with countless fertile fields, shops, etc. under their name, no one would be dissatisfied with having too much money, they would only worry that it is not enough.
Ye Xuan knows the situation of the Shen family.
Zhu Yuanzhang looked covetously at the Shen family.
Because of this, Shen Wansan promised in front of Zhu Yuanzhang that he would not engage in maritime trade. In addition, Shen Wansan also bled heavily to help Zhu Yuanzhang pay for the construction of the city wall.
This made Zhu Yuanzhang less murderous.
But it only reduces some of the murderous intentions.
I don’t know what Zhu Yuanzhang thinks of the Shen family now.
It is unknown whether the Shen family will be able to conduct maritime trade again.
We need to ask about Zhu Yuanzhang's attitude.
Ye Xuan pondered for a while and said:
"I can try to ask."
After all, he has received so much money from the Shen family.
Even though he was busy, he still had to help.
What's more, the Shen family makes money.
He benefits too.
Furthermore, Shen Wansan and Shen Jin were his father-in-law and brother-in-law, and they were relatives. If he could help with this matter, he would.
Ye Xuan took on the matter confidently.
One is because of his previous achievements.
He had done so many things for Zhu Yuanzhang and Ming Dynasty before.
Zhu Yuanzhang probably wouldn't be angry with Shen Wansan.
Even if you are really angry.
Based on Zhu Yuanzhang's character, if Zhu Yuanzhang wanted to kill him, he would at least boil a frog in warm water.
Zhu Yuanzhang will reuse him first.
Cut him some slack.
Only then will he be killed.
Just like Zhu Yuanzhang and those founding figures in history.
Throughout history.
It can be known that Zhu Yuanzhang is a smiling tiger.
If Zhu Yuanzhang wanted to kill someone.
Often promotes the other person.
Reuse each other.
Reward each other.
Or marry each other.
Let the other person think that he values you very much.
Then wait until the other person becomes slack and numb.
All the military power in his hands was taken away.
Power was also taken away.
That was the time for this man to die.
However, Ye Xuan was very confident that Zhu Yuanzhang would not kill him.
This is because he is still useful to Zhu Yuanzhang and Ming Dynasty.
Zhu Yuanzhang wanted to know the knowledge in his head.
I want to build Ming Dynasty better.
I want the Ming Dynasty to last forever.
Want him to assist Zhu Biao.
Then Zhu Yuanzhang would not kill him.
Even if Zhu Yuanzhang was angry because he helped inquire about Shen Wansan, he would not kill him.
This is Ye Xuan’s confidence.
It was precisely because of this self-confidence that Ye Xuan dared to take on this job that might offend Zhu Yuanzhang.
Shen Wansan and his son were overjoyed.
"Son-in-law, then I leave all this to you."
Brother-in-law, I saw you right. "
"."You are really loyal."
Shen Jin said with a smile.
A+$7:....
He looked at Shen Jin, whose attitude had changed 180 degrees, and listened to Shen Jin's praise, always feeling a little weird.
Previously, this brother-in-law did not approve of Shen Rong being with him.
Since the wedding.
This brother-in-law changed.
Ye Xuan had to sigh.
This is the benefit of power.
If he couldn't help Shen Wansan and his son, I'm afraid they wouldn't respect him so much.
But there are no ifs in the world.
Although he is only a fourth-rank official in the Ministry of Rites now.
Not very powerful.
But he is different from ordinary officials.
Both Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Biao valued him.
If you don't value him, you can't hand over the imperial examination to him.
After all, the imperial examination was used to select talents for the Ming Dynasty.
It is related to the next fifty or sixty years of the Ming Dynasty.
If the selected talents are not good.
The Ming Dynasty will lose a large number of talents in the next fifty or sixty years.
"Son-in-law, if this thing doesn't work out, forget it. You can't force (Wang De Zhao) to do anything, everything is about your own safety.
Shen Wansan reminded.
He was worried that Ye Xuan would get into trouble or be killed if he helped them ask about it.
That's why I said this.
"Yes, brother-in-law, safety comes first."
"If there is no other way, our Shen family will give up maritime trade.
"Although the income is part of the loss."
"But at least save a few lives."
“My sister is carrying an unborn baby in her belly.
"Don't wait until something happens before the child is born."
Shen Jin also said.
Ye Xuan looked at Shen Jin in surprise.
Although what he said was a little ugly, he said it all because he cared about them.
I didn’t expect Shen Jin to be okay.
Just a bit snobbish.
"Don't worry, I will certainly find a solution.
"It won't have any impact."
Ye Xuan said.
When Shen Wansan and Shen Jin heard this, they felt slightly relieved.
