What happened in Zhou Mansion,

Zhu Youjian is unknown.

For Zhu Youjian, it was not a big deal for Princess Zhou to run back to her parents' home. He believed that his beloved concubine would come back obediently in a few days.

Therefore, Zhu Youjian drank alone and had a few dishes. Although Princess Zhou was not there, he still looked chic. It was not until Princess Zhou came back three days later that Zhu Youjian realized that something was wrong.

"The princess hasn't come back yet?" Zhu Youjian looked at the servant in front of him. He was a little unhappy. The servant shook his head: "Your Majesty, the princess has not come back. And"

Seeing the servant's hesitant appearance, Zhu Youjian couldn't help but ask: "And what?"

The servant said: "Moreover, when I was out shopping, I heard someone say that the Zhou family plans to reconcile the princess and the prince."

"Heli?!" Zhu Youjian was stunned. Zhou Kui dared to say these two words. Didn't he know that this was the Ming Dynasty?

He is a prince, how dare he?

But when he turned around and thought about it again, Zhu Youjian couldn't help but sigh, Zhou Kui really dared, he was rich and powerful now, but he was many times better than himself, a down-and-out prince.

Zhu Youjian was unhappy and a little scared. If they really reconciled, the unlucky one would probably not be Zhou Kui, but himself!

So Zhu Youjian immediately packed up: "Quickly, prepare the car, I am going to the Zhou Mansion!"

Arriving at the Zhou Mansion in a carriage, Zhu Youjian hurriedly knocked on the door. He wanted to bring his beloved concubine back, but he must not divorce her. Without the princess, the palace would be in trouble.

There was a dull knock on the door. When the doorman saw that it was Zhu Youjian coming, he quickly went to notify Zhou Kui: "Master, Master, Your Highness Prince Xin is here!"

When Zhou Kui heard this, his expression immediately turned ugly: "He still dares to come?"

An angry Zhou Kuigang rushed to the gate and heard Zhu Youjian calling the door: "Open the door quickly, I want to see my beloved concubine."

"His Royal Highness King Xin, you drove my daughter home, and now you want to see my daughter and you knock on the door again early in the morning. Is my daughter, Zhou Kui, so cheap that she can come and go as soon as you call her?" Zhou Kui's daughter

The sound came from inside the door.

Zhu Youjian was stunned for a moment, and then said: "My father-in-law, you are wrong. I am here to apologize to my concubine. What happened a few days ago was my fault. Why don't I come to take my concubine back?"

Zhou Kui said: "But you can't believe what His Highness the King said. Now that my daughter is back, I don't plan to let her go and suffer hardships in the palace."

The father-in-law and son-in-law just talked to each other through the door. After talking for a long time, Zhou Kui insisted that it was Zhu Youjian who drove Princess Zhou back and refused to open the door: "Your Highness, King Xin, please go back. I, Zhou Kui,

I raise my daughter by myself, and although I can’t give her any world-famous glory and wealth, she has no worries about food and clothing, and can afford three meals of fish, meat, and four seasons of fruits and vegetables.”

Zhu Youjian, who was choked by Zhou Kui several times, was also annoyed. Didn't these words mean that he was poor and had no money?

I am a majestic Prince of the Ming Dynasty, the younger brother of His Majesty the Emperor, with such a respected status, yet he was rejected by a merchant like this!

Zhu Youjian was also angry: "Huh, let's go. Do you really think that I am poor? Father-in-law, just watch and see how I make a fortune, and what will you say when the time comes."

Zhou Kui said: "If His Highness King Xin can really make a huge amount of money, I will definitely send my daughter back to Prince Xin's Mansion in person."

Zhu Youjian snorted coldly: "It's a deal!" With that, Zhu Youjian returned to Prince Xin's Mansion.

However, after returning to the palace, Zhu Youjian, who was sitting in the garden, couldn't help but sigh. Making money is easy to say, but how difficult it is to put it into practice.

Except for his noble status, Zhu Youjian is not as good as those merchants, and his money is almost penniless. How can he do business and make a fortune?

Thinking about what Zhou Kui said, and looking at how poor he was in such a wealthy palace, Zhu Youjian was furious, he had to make money!

This man has no money, how can he still be called a man?!

How many heroes and heroes throughout the ages have been trapped by the word money, and Zhu Youjian is no exception, but if he can make money

If you create a family fortune, it will be easier for your family to live a better life in the future.

Thinking of this, Zhu Youjian gritted his teeth and decided to borrow money!

"Advanced money?" Eunuch Wei looked at Zhu Youjian in front of him with a strange expression. His highness, Prince Xin, had become stupid with his stupid brain from studying like this. Now he is also thinking about borrowing money to do business?

"Yes, Eunuch Wei, Xiao Wang wants to advance next year's salary to do business." Zhu Youjian smiled with his face and felt his face burning. He still managed to get to the point of advancing his salary. He was really in despair.

Wei Zhongxian is different from Zhou Kui. This is an old man who was a domestic slave when his brother, the emperor, started his career. Now he is the chief steward of the palace, the chief ceremonial supervisor, pen and palm sealer, and also holds a series of positions such as the factory supervisor of the East Factory.

He also oversees a series of royal business.

Carrying so many responsibilities by one person shows the trust that the emperor's brother has in Wei Zhongxian. Wei Zhongxian thought for a while and said: "It's a good thing that the prince wants to do business. After all, nothing can be done without money. In this way, I will make the decision and advance the payment."

I’ll give you the money for next year’s salary. Your Majesty, please wait.”

Hearing that Wei Zhongxian agreed, Zhu Youjian said quickly: "Thank you, Eunuch Wei." Soon, Wei Zhongxian took out a treasure banknote: "My lord, this is yours."

Zhu Youjian knew something was wrong when he saw the amount. How could this amount be more than his annual salary? It was much more. It seemed like it had doubled?!

At this time, Zhu Youjian looked at Wei Zhongxian's old face again. The more he looked at it, the more friendly and comfortable he became: Eunuch Wei, he is still a kind person.

"Thank you Eunuch Wei!" Zhu Youjian said sincerely, took the money and went back happily.

Wei Zhongxian shook his head and went to Wuying Palace: "Your Majesty, King Xin has just arrived." "King Xin, what is he here for?" Zhu Youxiao asked nonchalantly.

Wei Zhongxian said: "His Royal Highness King Xin came to the servant to advance next year's salary and said he wanted to do business."

Zhu Youxiao couldn't help laughing when he heard this: "It's okay that he actually wants to do business. I thought that my younger brother would be like that in his life. Let him do it and see what he can do.

.”

Zhu Youxiao didn't care whether Zhu Youjian was losing money or making money in business, but he was very happy that Zhu Youjian had this attitude. Finally, he was no longer the corrupt, cynical, and pretentious person he was.

It is a good thing to be able to make money in a down-to-earth manner. Whether it is a loss or a profit, Zhu Youxiao will be satisfied if he practices it and changes it. At worst, he will give King Xin more money when the time comes.

It can also be earned back.

Thinking of this, Zhu Youxiao said: "Why did King Xin suddenly want to do business? Do you understand this?"

Wei Zhongxian quickly recounted what happened before. There was really nothing that Wei Zhongxian didn't know about what happened in Shuntian Mansion. The factory guards were so powerful!

After learning the ins and outs of the matter, Zhu Youxiao smiled and said: "It's okay, this kid still has some backbone, let him do it, don't worry about him."

Wei Zhongxian knew what Zhu Youxiao meant: "I understand."

And Zhu Youjian, who returned to Prince Xin's Mansion with twice his salary, felt very excited when he saw so much money in his hand. With so much money, he felt a little confident. It should be enough to do business, right?

Thinking of this, Zhu Youjian decided to go to inspect the market tomorrow. He wanted to see for himself how to do business in Ming Dynasty and what kind of business is profitable.

Early the next morning, Zhu Youjian dressed up early and left the palace. He dressed himself up as a young scholar, and went to the market with a boy, watching as he walked, but there were many people in the market.

Zhu Youjian didn't like the way small traders hawked goods. How could he be like these small traders, walking around the streets hawking goods?

If King Thaksin wants to do business, it means doing big business!

So Zhu Youjian moved to the local area, inspected various places in the capital, read more than a dozen business newspapers to obtain information, and compared various ways to make money. Finally, he found a way to make wealth in a short period of time and suit his needs.

Conditional things, futures.

Futures is a very novel word. Like the previous stock market, it is a new thing. Gold, silver, cotton, etc. are all futures and can be copied as long as you are lucky.

If you have the skills, you can make money. It is not a problem to use your small skills to make a big difference.

These things are not Zhu Youjian's own understanding. He heard them while drinking tea in an inn and listening to the discussions of the businessmen around him.

Nowadays, the Ming Dynasty is flourishing and there are many merchants. Not to mention the rise of newspapers in various places, there are also many places where merchants specialize in discussing business.

Zhu Youjian found a good place and drank tea here every day, listening to the businessmen around him talking, and carefully reading the business newspapers from various places provided in the teahouse.

It was also at this time that someone came to see Zhu Youjian: "Brother, this is so polite." When Zhu Youjian looked at the person, he immediately felt very good.

The person who came here also looked like a scholar. He was dressed in a green shirt and was well dressed. He had a jade hairpin on his head and a jade ornament around his waist. He held a book in his hand. His face was like a jade crown, sword eyebrows and starry eyes. He had a dignified appearance.

Just looking at the appearance made Zhu Youjian feel good about it.

As we all know, whether it is Han, Tang, Song, Ming or other dynasties, good appearance is a prerequisite for being an official. If you are not good-looking, it will be difficult to become an official.

The visitor's appearance is very good. Although he doesn't look majestic, if it were the previous imperial examination, he could still afford the title of "Tang Hua Lang".

Faced with such a good appearance, Zhu Youjian quickly stood up and returned the greeting: "Brother, please." The visitor sat down and asked with a smile: "Brother, are you planning to do some business?"

Zhu Youjian sighed: "The world is deteriorating and people's hearts are not the same as before. In this troubled world, if there is no money, what is the use of being full of economics? Today's court only looks at money and not the scriptures. The world dislikes the poor and loves the rich. Although I

I have no intention of joining in the troubled times, but there is nothing I can do about it, there are always family members to support.”

The visitor quite agreed with Zhu Youjian's words: "That's right. The world is different now. It's impossible for us to study and read books as we did before. Simply studying and studying can't satisfy the current situation. We can only try our best to move forward and find a job."

future."

"But it is so difficult to make money nowadays. If you are not careful, you will lose everything. It is difficult, it is difficult." Zhu Youjian thought about what he had seen and heard these days, and couldn't help but sigh: "Yes, it is difficult."

The visitor formally introduced: "Brother, my surname is Zhang and my first name is Jinrui. May I ask your surname?"

Zhu Youjian straightened his clothes: "My surname is Zhu, my first name is Youjian." Zhang Jinrui was shocked: "But His Royal Highness King Xin."

Zhu Youjian nodded, which made Zhang Jinrui even more surprised.

The two hit it off, and as they chatted, Zhu Youjian invited Zhang Jinrui to be his guest, so the next day Zhang Jinrui came to the palace as a guest with a gift.

The two chatted for a while. When Zhu You asked Zhang Jinrui what he was doing now, Zhang Jinrui said with some embarrassment: "Although I have learned a lot, I am not very good at it. I am barely a market analyst now.

Earn some hard-earned money."

"Market analyst?" Zhu Youjian was a little confused. This was the first time he heard this term. Zhang Jinrui quickly introduced it to Zhu Youjian. Only then did Zhu Youjian know what a market analyst does, which is equivalent to a stock market analyst.

As a staff member of the futures market, analyzing the market and judging the trend is not an easy job. He is a great talent!

Zhu Youjian, who thought Zhang Jinrui was very capable, drank with Zhang Jinrui until late at night, and Zhang Jinrui also chatted and showed off his erudition. At the same time, he made a good analysis of the current Ming Dynasty futures market: "His Royal Highness, today's futures market, you want to

To make money, you must find another way to find the hidden key."
