When it comes to making money, Zhu Zhan is the least worried.

Because there are too many types of items that can be exchanged in the system.

For example, refined salt.

The quality of these salts is much better than the salt from the Ming Dynasty nowadays.

Ordinary merchants naturally cannot sell illegal salt at will, which is a heinous crime. However, he is not an ordinary person, but a feudal lord. Not only can he easily obtain the right to sell salt, even if he does not have the right to sell, it will not cause too much disaster.

In this era, salt is still a luxury item in the homes of ordinary people.

Because the time collection technology is not advanced enough, the output is extremely low, and the buying and selling are controlled by the court, it is very difficult for ordinary people to take a bite of salt.

But now, with the early establishment of the Ming Dynasty, many measures are not yet perfect. The current implementation of salt delivery measures has further increased the difficulty for the people to buy salt.

In other words, Zhu Yuanzhang transferred the salt sales rights controlled by the court to some very wealthy merchants, and thus obtained military funds that could be used to equip the army.

After paying a certain price, the merchant obtained a license, which is called salt introduction. With this salt introduction, they can sell salt in specific areas and make huge profits from it.

As long as you have a salt drink in your hand, it means you have mastered a valuable recipe for making money worth a thousand gold. In later generations, this is called monopolistic business, no wonder it doesn't make money!

As a feudal lord, he can naturally take advantage of this convenience to obtain a large amount of profits.

He cannot change this national policy, but he can put a large amount of salt in the market and lower prices!

Of course, he won't directly lower the price of salt, but the salt he sells will be more refined, but the price is the market price. In comparison, he naturally takes market share and forces other salt merchants to lower prices or sell in other areas. However, once he sells outside the designated area, it violates the laws of the Ming Dynasty and carries great risks!

Wealthy elites and wealthy businessmen will eat his refined salt, while ordinary people without money will buy discounted salt. As for the loss of benefits for the salt merchants, how could Zhu Cha care about it.

Even if other salt merchants know they are lowering their prices, they can only stare blankly and dare not be dissatisfied with the feudal lords?!

In addition, it is also possible to save the country through curved means, such as selling pickled vegetables.

Selling salt, for feudal lords, is just a small matter of sprinkling water. Even if the court finds out, it will not interfere too much. After all, the court has also benefited by using it as military expenses and filling the national treasury.

He was unable to provide low-priced salt to all the people in the country, but he was able to make the people in his fiefdom extremely wealthy in terms of firewood, rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar, and tea.

In addition, it can also be exchanged for seasonings such as chicken essence and oyster sauce.

Don't be fooled by this thing in later generations, but in this era, it is definitely a luxury item.

It can enhance the flavor and color of inconspicuous dishes, making them even more delicious.

And these seasonings will inevitably become luxury items that the wealthy and powerful will compete to purchase. In addition, restaurants can also be opened to attract high-end customers to consume at high prices.

Rich people's money, only when earned can it be enjoyable!

With just a rough idea, Zhu Zhan can come up with countless plans to make a fortune. This may not be easy for ordinary merchants to achieve, but for Zhu Zhan, who holds the status of a feudal lord, he just needs to leave it to the people below to handle.

He doesn't even need to take action personally, even if something goes wrong in the future, there will naturally be people below to take responsibility for him.

Punishing the emperor's son is absolutely impossible!

And what he needs to personally pay attention to is actually the problem behind it.

Previously, a large amount of funds were obtained for purchasing grain, but continuing to do so would require excessive expenditure of silver and would also drive up market grain prices, which is detrimental to the people.

And now, in the twelfth year of the Hongwu reign, there will be a severe drought disaster in the land of Shanxi, where the King of Jin is located.

If nothing unexpected happens, there will be a large number of refugees pouring into their territory this year.

At that time, he can absorb these refugees and let them help him build the highway, and the only thing he needs to do is prepare the food for these refugees in advance.

Salary? Hehe, it doesn't exist. These days, if you don't starve to death, just burn incense. Afterwards, many people probably call themselves life-saving bodhisattvas!

Therefore, we must have a Dafengshou (Salad of assorted fresh vegetables) in Qidi this year.

At present, what he can directly control is the land within his fiefdom.

He decided to mainly plant two crops, one is sweet potatoes and the other is potatoes.

Both of these belong to high-yield crops and are also very easy to sustain hunger.

Moreover, it is easy to store and transport!

After ripening, sweet potatoes can be stored in the cellar for a long time. In addition, they can be dried and used as dried sweet potatoes. In the future, whether they are cooked with Congee or other methods, they are absolutely delicious food for refugees.

Potatoes, not to mention, have a relatively long storage time and can be cooked in many ways. Although they can be burned in panic after eating too much, for refugees, this thing is comparable to delicacies from the mountains and seas.

Of course, although he had a considerable amount of land, it was not enough to cope with the large-scale influx of refugees. Therefore, he had to attract the large landowners of the Qi region and follow suit by planting some sweet potatoes and potatoes.

As spring is about to begin, he must release the news as soon as possible.

Zhu Zhan settled down in the estate, but not to mention, the mansion of Jiangyin Marquis in the capital has been bustling lately.

The cause was not something that happened to the Wu family, but rather the fact that the Wu family's son-in-law, the seventh prince Zhu Cha, was beaten up by the emperor and, while still discussing matters in court, was directly sent to the Qi domain without even paying his respects. Oh, that was a disgrace.

Upon learning the news, Empress Dowager Da cleverly tidied up and arranged for the servants, attendants, and others of the Seventh Prince to chase after them in dozens of carriages.

This scene, whether it's good or not, is the downfall of the Seventh Prince leaving the capital. In the eyes of ordinary people, he looks like a lost dog, and can be described as extremely embarrassed.

The Seventh Prince, who already had a decent status and caused such a stir, is well-known to everyone. Now, he has become a laughingstock throughout the entire capital city.

The Wu family has also been affected to some extent.

When the Duke of Jiangyin returned home, he brought back the news at the same time, causing panic throughout the Wu family.

The royal marriage is not a child's play. The engagement has already been made and they got married this year. Although the specific auspicious date has not been chosen yet, the Seventh Prince has been driven out of the capital, and it is impossible for the Emperor to let him return to the capital in the short term. This marriage cannot be completed in the capital city!

After hearing this, the women of the Wu family all had worried faces.

Sir, why didn't you stop me at that time

Wu Liang gave a bitter smile and said, "I'm stopping you? How can I stop you? Who would have thought that His Royal Highness the Prince of Qi could speak such astonishing words in court? Not to mention me, not even Sincere Uncle and Left Minister dared to speak up

Everyone took a cold breath.

Sincere Uncle and Left Prime Minister, they are all considered to be the mentors of His Royal Highness the Prince of Qi. Did they not speak up

Zhu Zhan hasn't opened the system for these years, and he hasn't done anything else. He even became a teacher.

Liu Bowen will be given back the next year after he is granted the title of "Sincere Uncle". If Zhu Xuan had not returned to his hometown to farm, he would not be in court now.

But Liu Bowen was a shrewd person who only taught Zhu Zhan some poems, songs, and ancient classics, which were conventional and not taught anything else. He also did not get too close to Zhu Zhan and always protected himself wisely.

He is well aware that his contributions are too great, and being able to start and end well is already rare. How could he possibly step forward in situations like Zhu Cha's in court.

As for Left Prime Minister Hu Weiyong, it goes without saying that he has been closest to Zhu Zhan recently. However, it is feared that Zhu Yuanzhang may mistakenly believe that he taught Zhu Zhan nonsense, and it is too late to distance himself, let alone speak up.

The ministers of the entire court dare not speak, and I am also lying on the ground and afraid to move. The majesty of the emperor has been enhanced. Oh, you don't understand that feeling, you don't understand... Fortunately, His Royal Highness the Prince of Qi only arrived in Qi's territory early and became a vassal, and was not stripped of his position as a vassal

Wu Yan hid outside the room listening to the corner of the wall, her eyes shining brightly. When she heard Zhu Cha making such a big noise in the court, she was so scared that she stuck out her tongue and thought to herself, "Why is this guy so brave? Isn't even Your Majesty afraid? Oh, he went to Qidi, so I have to go to Qidi too

Wu Yan, who had never traveled far before, couldn't help but feel a little excited inside.
