My uncle is Zhu Di

Chapter 25 The troublemaker is coming

"Get up!" Zhu Di said lightly when he saw Zhu Gaochi kneeling there.

Only then did Zhu Gaochi get up.

Zhu Di kept looking at Zhu Gaochi, who was very nervous. Zhu Di was a good father in every way except that he loved to scare people too much. He would scare himself for no reason.

"Did Sakyabao really do it himself?" Zhu Di asked, staring at Zhu Gaochi.

Zhu Gaochi sighed inwardly, bowed to Zhu Di and said, "Dad, he really did it himself!"

"The spinning speed is sixteen times that of the Weaving Bureau, and the weaving speed is twenty-five times?" Zhu Di continued to ask. Zhu Di actually remembered everything Zhu Gaochi said just now.

"Yes, it is very fast indeed. Even if Sakyabao does not dye cloth and relies on spinning and weaving, the monthly profit will not be less than 30,000 or 40,000 taels. Dad, don't you know who my uncle is? Will he allow Sakyabao to do such a thing?" Zhu Gaochi raised his head and bowed in response.

"Oh, what happens after dyeing the cloth?" Zhu Di was moved when he heard it, and asked Zhu Gaochi while staring at him.

"Almost one hundred and thirty thousand taels a month!" Zhu Gaochi could only report truthfully.

"So many?" Zhu Di stood up again, took a few steps, turned around, and asked Zhu Gaochi: "Can our weaving bureau make those machines?"

"This, this, you have to ask Sakya Bao, or, should I go again?" Zhu Gaochi asked Zhu Di.

Zhu Di waved his hand and said, "Let me think about this matter. Okay, go and call them in!"

Zhu Gaochi had no choice but to go out and call those people in, but he was very nervous.

Zhu Di knew that his uncle could make so much money, but he didn't give any instructions. This is not his father's character!
At night, Prince of Zhao Zhu Gaosui walked towards the imperial study.

"Dad, you're looking for me!" Zhu Gaosui came to the desk and bowed to Zhu Di.

"Is the dyeing workshop run by Sakyabao doing so well now?" Zhu Di looked up at Zhu Gaosui and asked.

"Well, very good. It's not enough to sell. Moreover, many merchants want to find Sakya Bao. Some have come to me, hoping that I can find Sakya Bao, get a batch of cloth, and sell it to other places!" Zhu Gaosui nodded, feeling very jealous.

"Oh, he produced it himself?" Zhu Di continued to ask.

"Well, from spinning to printing and dyeing, all are done by Sakyabao at home, and the printing and dyeing workshop is just outside the city!" Zhu Gaosui nodded and said.

"Oh, by the way, some time ago, Chen Ying's son was beaten by Sakya Bao. Is it true?" Zhu Di continued to ask casually.

Prince of Zhao Zhu Gaosui did not think much about it, but smiled and said: "Normal, who wouldn't Shakyabao fight? He dared to ride on me and ask for money when I went there! He said he was borrowing money, but I never saw him pay it back!"

"Well, why fight?" Zhu Di pretended not to hear that Xu Qin asked Zhu Gaosui to borrow money. What else could he say about such a thing?
The Queen's favorite nephew asked his cousin for some money. As his uncle, can I deal with him?

"Chen Ying's youngest son, Chen Tangjin, took a fancy to the eldest daughter of the Xiao family and wanted to take her as a concubine. He also set his eyes on the Xiao family's wealth. The head of the Xiao family was forced to commit suicide by Chen Tangjin, and there was no one in the family who could do anything, so Chen Tangjin had an idea! Later, the eldest daughter of the Xiao family had nowhere to buy spindles and was desperate, so she went to stop Shijiabao. Shijiabao was not afraid of Chen Tangjin, so he agreed.

The next day, Chen Tangjin went to the Xiao family's dyeing workshop and threatened that he would make it impossible for the Xiao family to sell any cloth. The eldest daughter of the Xiao family went to find Shijiabao. Chen Tangjin happened to come out of Cuiyueju at the city gate, and Shijiabao whipped him twice with a horsewhip! "Zhao Wang Zhu Gaosui told the truth about what he knew.

"Oh!" Zhu Di nodded, finally understanding what was going on.

As for punishing Chen Tangjin, Zhu Di was not in a hurry.

Then he sat there thinking for a while and said, "Does Shakyabao really have the ability to dye cloth himself?"

"Well, I still feel strange. But, I heard that it is very profitable! Dad, it's a bad thing for my uncle's family to have so much money, right?" Zhu Gaosui immediately looked at Zhu Di and asked.

Zhu Di did not reply. He was used to his son often asking questions without thinking.

"Okay, go back!" Zhu Di didn't want to say more to King Zhao, so he could only wave his hand.

"Yes, Dad!" Zhu Gaosui felt very strange. His father asked him to come here just for this matter?

I haven't said much yet. I originally wanted to encourage my father to deal with Sakya Bao, but my father didn't give me the chance!
Soon, Zhu Gaosui left.

Zhu Di sat there and thought for a long time before he said, "Liu Yongcheng!"

"Your Majesty!" Liu Yongcheng came over immediately and bowed.

"Is this also the result of your East Factory's investigation?" Zhu Di asked in a flat tone.

"Yes!" Liu Yongcheng responded with a bow.

Zhu Di waved his hand and Liu Yongcheng retreated. No one knew what Zhu Di was thinking.

The next day, Xu Qin woke up at noon. When he arrived at the dyeing workshop, he saw Xiao Ningyue walking anxiously at the door of the workshop. Xu Qin got off his horse, and Xiao Ningyue immediately bowed to Xu Qin: "Greetings, Master Xu!"

"What's the matter? Why do you come to my workshop so early in the morning?" Xu Qin gave the horse to the servant and walked into the workshop with his hands behind his back.

"Early in the morning?" Xiao Ningyue couldn't help but look up. It was winter and the sky was sunny today. The sun was already high in the sky, but it was still early in the morning?

However, Xiao Ningyue reacted immediately. Now was not the time to dwell on this. She followed Xu Qin and said anxiously, "Master Xu, all the cloth merchants in Nanjing have come to me together. They want you to give them some cloth to sell. They cannot let my Xiao family's cloth shop sell it all by itself.

I told them very clearly that if they wanted to sell Xu's fabrics, they could come to Mr. Xu, but..."

"But I don't want to see them, right?" Xu Qin asked with a smile, walking towards the dyeing workshop's office with his hands behind his back.

As for keeping an eye on them while they work, you don't have to worry about it. There are people in the mansion who will do that.

"Yes, Mr. Xu, they are not people that a girl like me can afford to offend. With so many cloth shops uniting together, Mr. Xu, why don't we divide some of them out?" Xiao Ningyue advised from behind.

After hearing this, Xu Qin stopped and asked with a smile: "What are you afraid of? Do they dare to close your cloth shop?"

"No, Mr. Xu, you may not know the forces behind those cloth shops!" Xiao Ningyue said anxiously.

"The force behind it?" Xu Qin turned his head to look at Xiao Ningyue, who nodded.

Xu Qin smiled and said, it doesn’t matter, he is not afraid of any force!
When Xu Qin arrived at the office, Xiao Ningyue had been to Xu Qin's office several times, and now she took the initiative to make tea.

"Mr. Xu, the slightly larger cloth shops in Nanjing have powerful forces behind them. For example, our Xiao Family Cloth Shop used to have officials as its backers, but our Xiao Family Cloth Shop is still not well-known in Nanjing. Of course, we still have many sales outlets, and there are no less than 20 shops in Nanjing that are stronger than our Xiao Family Cloth Shop.

There are two largest ones, one is the Ning Family Cloth Shop, backed by the Weaving Bureau, and the other is the Chen Family Cloth Shop, backed by the princess!"

"Princess?" After hearing this, Xu Qin looked at Xiao Ningyue in surprise.

"Yes, princesses! After getting married, those princesses will also have their own businesses, like the Chen Family Cloth Shop. Basically all princesses have a share in it, and the Chen Family Cloth Shop is also spread across various prefectures in the Ming Dynasty! And the Ning Family Cloth Shop is even more so!" Xiao Ningyue placed the teacup in front of Xu Qin, nodded and said.

"And then?" Xu Qin took the teacup, looked up and asked with a smile.

"Then?" Xiao Ningyue looked at Xu Qin in confusion.

"Yes, and then what? Are you scared? You didn't tell them to come to me?" Xu Qin asked a little cynically.

Xiao Ningyue said anxiously: "I told them, but they didn't believe me. They said they came to look for you, but you didn't see them! So they started to embarrass me!"

"Oh, tell them that my Xu family's cloth will not be sold to anyone else. We will sell it in your Xiao family's cloth shop. If we can't sell it all in Nanjing, we will sell it in other places! If anyone dares to make trouble for the Xiao family's cloth shop, don't blame me for being rude. What can the Weaving Bureau do?" Xu Qin said with a sneer.

"Ah?" Xiao Ningyue looked at Xu Qin in shock. It was a bit crazy to talk like that.

"What are you afraid of? You have good cloth. Are you worried that you can't sell it? Don't worry. My family is producing more and more cloth now. You can worry about it after your Xiao family is full!" Xu Qin leaned back and said indifferently.

"Mr. Xu, since there are so many fabrics, why don't you give some to them?" Xiao Ningyue didn't understand, and as she thought about it, her face began to blush.

Because she really couldn't figure out why Xu Qin was so determined to sell her those fabrics. Was he interested in her? If he was interested, then... he could just say it directly!

"Why should we divide up? I am not familiar with them. Okay, you go back and come to me if you have any problems!" Xu Qin waved his hand and said to Xiao Ningyue.

When Xiao Ningyue heard this, she started to suspect that she might have been wrong, otherwise, why would Xu Qin drive her away.

Just as Xiao Ningyue was about to leave, a voice came from outside calling Xiao Ningyue.

When Xiao Ningyue heard that it was her personal maid, she quickly bowed to Xu Qin and took her leave. Not long after she went out, she knocked on the door and came in hurriedly!

"Mr. Xu, our cloth shop has been sealed off by the South City Military Department!" Xiao Ningyue said anxiously before Xu Qin could open his mouth to ask.

"Seal off? Why?" Xu Qin sat up and asked.

"They said our cloth shop is harboring an imperial criminal. We need to check it!" Xiao Ningyue was very anxious. She only had a small cloth shop and all the shop assistants had been there for more than ten years. How could this imperial criminal come from?

"Imperial criminal? Interesting, let's go and take a look!" When Xu Qin heard it, he knew what was going on and guessed that he was here to cause trouble.

I haven't fought for a long time. Have they forgotten that I have been fighting in the capital for five years? Just because I haven't fought much in this month, they have forgotten my existence?
"Thank you, Mr. Xu!" Xiao Ningyue felt much more relieved when she heard that Xu Qin was going.

"What are you thanking me for? Hehe, let's go and have some fun!" Xu Qin said excitedly.

Xiao Ningyue was a little confused. How could Xu Qin be so excited when she was so anxious?
