Chapter 175: The Dinner Party Begins
In this way, Zhu Gaoxu and Guo Zhen stayed in the small courtyard until the afternoon.
At this time, the seal was finally released for Zhu Gaoxu and the others.
Zhu Yuanzhang ordered everyone to go to Fengtian Palace.
Zhu Gaoxu and Guo Zhen walked out of the small courtyard.
Following Queen Ma and others, they walked towards Fengtian Hall.
When we arrived at Fengtian Hall, a group of ministers were always there, and envoys from various countries were also congratulating Zhu Yuanzhang on his birthday.
Seeing Queen Ma's arrival, everyone also greeted her.
Zhu Yuanzhang also quickly asked Queen Ma to sit next to him, and then arranged for the others to sit down.
Although Zhu Gaoxu's rank was not high, his status was high, and he was Zhu Yuanzhang's beloved grandson, so he naturally sat closer to the front.
As everyone sat down, Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand, and then a group of orioles came up to the palace. The musicians began to play music, and a group of singers also danced as the palace music played.
Immediately afterwards, Eunuch Li also clapped his hands in time.
Then a group of palace maids brought the fine wine that Zhu Gaoxu had brought as tribute.
Zhu Yuanzhang apparently saw wine in a glass bottle for the first time, as did other ministers.
Looking at the smooth and transparent glass bottle, everyone couldn't help but curiously took it in their hands and started playing with it.
Even if you don't drink the alcohol inside, the packaging alone adds a third of taste to it.
At this time, someone discovered that there were eight large characters engraved on the glass bottle.
Sun, moon, mountains and rivers, eternal prosperity!
Another glass bottle is also engraved with eight large characters.
Ming Dynasty, people are prosperous and everything is prosperous!
Zhu Yuanzhang was immediately delighted when he saw this scene.
One of the dragons said: "This wine and the gift of this person are rewarded!"
At this time, Eunuch Li immediately replied in Zhu Yuanzhang's ear: "Your Majesty, this wine is a gift from the Prince of Nanyang County. Such a novel thing, even the old slave was shocked when he saw it for the first time."
Zhu Yuanzhang suspected that it was Zhu Gaoxu who did it.
But this time it really made him very happy.
He thought to himself: "This little monkey did a great job!"
Nodding, Zhu Yuanzhang said to Eunuch Li: "I'd like to thank the Prince of Nanyang County for coming forward to have a drink with me."
Eunuch Li nodded after hearing this, and then walked towards Zhu Gaoxu.
At this time, Zhu Gaoxu was secretly proud.
Seeing a group of ministers acting like country bumpkins, they were extremely happy while holding a glass bottle.
Others want to finish their drink quickly and hide the glass bottle on their body to take back.
Who would have thought that after just two sips, you would already be drunk.
Many people present knew that this thing was created by Zhu Gaoxu. After all, they had never seen a glass bottle, but they had drank wine with a similar taste at a banquet hosted by Zhu Di before.
Seeing this, many people came to Zhu Gaoxu and asked where they could buy this kind of wine.
"After the Longevity Festival, you will naturally know that this wine will be officially sold. Then Xiao Wang will ask all uncles and uncles to support it."
Hearing this, a group of people nodded and were just about to continue chatting.
Eunuch Li came over.
"Your Highness, the Emperor has issued a decree for you to come forward and have a drink with me."
Hearing Eunuch Li's words, the group of people dispersed knowingly, but Zhu Gaoxu followed Eunuch Li and ran to the top without even sitting on his buttocks to get warm.
Those who are qualified to be by Lao Zhu's side can't even use a slap in the face.
Besides Queen Ma, there is also Prince Zhu Biao.
Now there is another Zhu Gaoxu.
Just like that, Zhu Gaoxu sat behind the newly added desk.
Seeing this, Lao Zhu said to Zhu Gaoxu: "Little monkey, let me ask you, what is this transparent thing and how is it made?"
When Zhu Gaoxu heard what Lao Zhu said, he knew in his heart that Lao Zhu was interested in this piece of fat.
Zhu Gaoxu, who understood clearly in his heart, did not go around in circles with Lao Zhu, and said directly: "If Grandpa Huang likes it, just buy a share. You don't have to pay for it, and you will share the normal profits."
When Lao Zhu heard Zhu Gaoxu's words, he nodded with satisfaction, but did not speak.
Instead, he poured out the wine from the glass bottle and drank it.
Seeing this, Zhu Gaoxu could only continue: "Come on, I will share half of the profit from this drink with you."
Hearing Zhu Yuanzhang's words, Lao Zhu finally laughed.
"You little monkey, our love for you is not in vain. These are your tributes to us."
Seeing this, Zhu Gaoxu looked helpless.
In fact, all this was his original plan.
Why do we have to wait until Lao Zhu’s birthday party is over before selling Zuixianjiang?
One of them is that I want to advertise.
But another one is to bring Lao Zhu into the mix.
Even if Lao Zhu didn't mention it, Zhu Gaoxu would take the initiative to say it.
The reason is very simple. The capital is a mixed bag, and Prince Yan's Palace alone cannot handle such a large project, at least not now.
The profit from selling wine is too great, and the profit is hundreds of times higher.
No one will be unmoved.
Not even if you are a prince!
But with Lao Zhu in charge, things are different.
Who dares to touch the royal business easily?
Not afraid of losing your head?
Although Lao Zhu didn't know what Zhu Gaoxu was thinking, he also learned about the profits.
Otherwise, he would be too lazy to ask for any profit from a junior.
