Chapter four hundred and ninety-ninth: making money
Ye Chunqiu seemed very impatient today. He was serving in the palace every day, so he couldn't help but feel irritated.
There are so many things that cannot be done. It’s really meaningless to play house with the emperor all day!
Ye Chunqiu had an idea: "Your Majesty, you're better. If you want to care, Oh, I'm thinking about something."
When he heard that Ye Chunqiu began to think, Zhu Houzhao immediately became excited, afraid that you would not think. The junior brother had done so many earth-shaking things. Since he thought, it must be... well... it would be earth-shaking again.
Zhu Houzhao said, "What are you thinking about?"
Ye Chunqiu frowned and said, "I think this medicine is probably very laborious. Well, I am on duty every day, after the price is paid..."
Zhu Houzhao smiled: "It's easy to say, I'll just let you practice in the palace."
Ye Chunqiu's plan was successful, so he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief: "It's just that, I need a place to do... a laboratory..."
laboratory……
If Zhu Houzhao had heard of what a laboratory is, it would be fine, but when he heard this kind of thing he had never heard of, he immediately became interested: "Oh, do it, do it as you want. There is a place in the palace, I will give you a side palace..."
Ye Chunqiu smiled bitterly and said, "Oh, it's better to do this outside the palace or in the palace, I'm afraid it's not good."
"Outside the palace?" Zhu Houzhao held her chin and narrowed her eyes: "You actually know that I am building a leopard room. Ye Aiqing, you and I really coincide with each other. I also have this idea, but now I hate leopards, so other palaces are not called leopard rooms, laboratory... This person sounds very powerful, so you might as well call it the experimental palace."
"..." Ye Chunqiu felt that he could no longer keep up with the emperor's thinking.
Zhu Houzhao continued excitedly: "It's called the Experimental Palace, well, I have made up my mind, it's in Xiyuan, but the cost is huge. I have already spent a lot of money, but I have only built half of it. What is your laboratory like and what do you need?"
Xiyuan...is outside the Forbidden City, but it also belongs to the royal garden. It is where the famous Wansui Mountain and Taiye Pond are located. It does not belong to the Forbidden City, but it is surrounded by mountains and rivers. It is a good place to cool off. Even though the Qing emperors in history mostly lived there.
In history, Zhu Houzhao built leopard houses and raised tigers, leopards, lions, elephants and other beasts. Later, he almost never entered the Forbidden City and stayed there all day long.
Ye Chunqiu said: "I have the utensils I need, but I just need a spacious place. It is best to have a stone house that covers a larger area. I also have some gadgets, so I want to give it a try."
Baubles...
Zhu Houzhao narrowed her eyes and said, "To be honest, how many gadgets are there?"
"It can make money."
When Zhu Houzhao heard the word "Qian", he immediately cheered up: "Ye Aiqing, come on, let's discuss it?"
Suddenly, he became intimate, and he almost hugged his shoulders and sat around Ye Chunqiu casually, looking at the rippling lake water outside the boat: "I am also short of money, and the treasury is becoming less and less useful. Those eunuchs in the custody, hum... let them collect salt tax and mining tax. After a year, there is only a few hundred thousand taels of silver, and there is no use at all. What I have raised is a group of wine bags. Come on, Ye Aiqing, can we come and ask for a plan to make money together?"
It is actually quite good to communicate with such people. At least Ye Chunqiu threw out an introduction, and he could always beat snakes and sticks.
Ye Chunqiu has too many things to make money, but many things have too many taboos. The so-called business in this era is really hard to move forward. Just like Ye Chunqiu's relationship, it can only be barely promoted in Nanjing, Ningbo and Hangzhou. If you go to other places, you will not know how many monsters and monsters will attract. **** Bai Dao cannot take into account both.
Just like the most basic glass, if this thing is used for decoration or other things, it will not be worse than the porcelain of this era. It can produce countless products. If you want to promote it, you will see the huge benefits. I have long known that many people like wolves and tigers rushed up and ate you completely.
If he cooperated with this little emperor, the little emperor would have a lot of resources. Not to mention anything else, just talking about his eunuch system in various places is a ready-made promotion system.
Ye Chunqiu narrowed his eyes and said, "Your Majesty, I will bring you some things tomorrow, Your Majesty can take a look."
No matter how much you say, it is useless. Why not let Zhu Houzhao see his finished product before talking about it.
Zhu Houzhao nodded with a smile: "Okay, remember to bring it tomorrow."
Then he rushed to the bow of the boat and said with a smile: "Haha, the navy has dispersed, let's go back to the shore as well."
After Zhu Houzhao said this, he excitedly ordered someone to turn around, and an eunuch said, "Your Majesty, be careful of your feet."
"Be careful, I'm my true life..." As he spoke, his feet stepped on the air, and with a thud, he fell into water.
This made everyone very anxious and hurriedly salvaged Zhu Houzhao.
Zhu Houzhao became a chicken that could not help but curse: "The water is so cold, oh, I don't think I have a chance with the water, cold, cold..."
A eunuch hurriedly took off his clothes and put them on Zhu Houzhao. When the boat approached the shore, Zhu Houzhao sneezes and said to Ye Chunqiu: "Ye Aiqing, go back. Remember to bring something tomorrow. I have to go and take a break, hey..."
Several eunuchs were busy making a ball, almost wrapped in Zhu Houzhao to change their clothes.
Ye Chunqiu was really stunned by this scene. By the way, he seemed to have made a wrong decision. He was just such an unreliable person who went to work with him... Isn't it a bit of a tragic death?
When they left and returned to the Attendant Room, before the time was paid, several Hanlin people were there. When everyone saw Ye Chunqiu coming back, Zheng Shixue stroked his beard and said, "Why did Ye come back so early?"
Ye Chunqiu hurriedly said, "Your Majesty is uncomfortable today, so he came back early."
Zheng Shixue shook his head and smiled bitterly, "Today...oh..." Shaking his head, the Hanlins who often accompany him knew how much the emperor would be.
Ye Chunqiu took the time and sat back to the desk, and looked like he was going to be familiar with the business.
In fact, if you look at these things back and forth carefully, they can indeed give people a lot of inspiration, at least they can make many Hanlin people who are not as good as the world know how this country operates, what local affairs are there, and how to solve them when encountering certain situations.
To a certain extent, the entire bureaucratic system of the Ming Dynasty was divided into two directions, one was the Qingliu official and the other was the Zhuiliu official. Because Qingliu did not contact specific affairs, he often cursed people, no matter what he cursed before talking about.
