Chapter 1921 It seems that this is the fate of the literati

Li Shizhen has always been calm, as is the case when she exited from the East Warehouse.

Zhu Zai-chan ran home all the way. Thinking that his "Twelve Average Rules" actually had a foreigner bid for 10 million yuan to buy the copyright, he couldn't help but be happy and even smiled at the sky.

The efforts I used to be rewarded finally.

Feng Bao has been looking forward to Zhu Zai's house, hoping that Zhu Zai's ability to completely get rid of the dilemma of not having enough money to spend.

Suddenly, Zhu Zaiyou jumped back like a child, jumping back with a jumping thigh.

It seems to be in a good mood.

Feng Bao breathed a sigh of relief. He was most afraid that Zhu Zaiyou would come back dejectedly.

"Your Highness, how about you? Do foreigners know anything?" Feng Bao asked hurriedly.

"Yes..." Zhu Zaiyou nodded in excitement.

"What's the specific situation?"

"Come on, let's go into the house and talk slowly." Zhu Zai said with a gaze, "It turns out that the emperor wants to sell the copyright of the "Twelve Average Rules" obtained from my research and hand it over to foreigners for development and operation."

"So, is it a foreign missionary who bought it?"

"Yeah yeah."

“How much did it cost?”

"Eunuch Feng might as well guess." Zhu Zaiyou deliberately kept it a secret because he was too excited.

"How much did you sell? One hundred thousand taels of silver?" Feng Bao guessed, but to his heart, he understood the "Twelve Average Rules", otherwise he would not have said the price.

"No." Zhu Zaiyou shook his head, "Speak to the big picture."

"Two hundred thousand?"

"..." Zhu Zaiyan still shook his head and stretched out a finger at Feng Bao with a smile.

"Your Highness, your prince, won't sell it for one million, right?" Feng Bao asked in a daze.

"..." Zhu Zaiyou still shook his head.

"How much is that?"

"Eunuch Feng must have never thought that the emperor would sell my research income to 10 million, right?"

"More, more, more, more, how much?" Feng Bao stuttered a little and couldn't believe his ears.

"The German missionaries were willing to invest 10 million taels to purchase the copyright for two hundred years. The emperor said he would share it with me for 55, so that I could get five million."

"..." Feng Bao was stunned and smacked his lips, "Ten million, it really sold for ten million..."

"Yes, it's just sold for ten million."

"With so much money, the prince suddenly becomes a millionaire. How do you plan to spend this money?"

"I have already thought about it. I will pay off the emperor's loan and late payment fees first, and then pay back the money my father gave me ten times, and thank Eunuch Feng for the money he had paid me in a while, leaving a part of it, and donating the rest to the court." Zhu Zaiyou said with great anticipation.

"Your Highness, the money I spent for you doesn't have to be grateful to me for ten times the money I spent." Feng Bao said hurriedly.

"If you want it, of course you want it." Zhu Zaiyu insisted on authenticity, and then sighed deeply, "I remember that I once told Eunuch Feng that if it were not for the emperor, I would have been a poor scholar. Few people knew me, and few people knew my research results."

"That's right, that's right, Master Long Sui is His Highness's Bole." Feng Bao nodded repeatedly and said yes.

"Because of family background, I know too well how helpless a person is when he is at a low point. No one wants to get close to you, no one wants to support you, and no friends. It seems that the whole world dislikes you."

"Yes! The warmth and coldness of human feelings and the coldness of the world." Feng Bao followed and said, "Why didn't he have a deep understanding of it? When he was rejected by Emperor Wanli and demoted from the palace, it was so sad!

How many people were willing to approach him and help him? Not many people gave him away when they left Beijing.

Later, he entered the palace for the second time and became the supervisor of the boss, and more people who cursed him immediately became popular.

Now that I have stepped down, I have lived a quiet life again.

Fortunately, his mentality has changed now and he feels that this is human nature. It doesn’t matter. Life is what he lives by himself, so he doesn’t have to be held with a lot.

It's great to live a quiet life alone.

As long as you have relatives and a few sincere friends, your relationship with others is really not that important.

Zhu Zai-chan continued: "As the saying goes, true love is revealed in times of adversity. Only when people are at the most miserable time can they see clearly who are good to you and who are worthy of friendship. Only when they are at the most miserable time can they be truly good to you."

"Yes," Feng Bao followed suit and said, "When people are at their most miserable times, many people want to watch your excitement and jokes."

"No? So a long time ago, I secretly swear that if I am poor and can't turn over for the rest of my life, I can only keep them in my heart. Whenever I have the chance to turn over, I will definitely be grateful to them, just like the emperor and Eunuch Feng, I am willing to repay ten times and twenty times. Although this love cannot be measured by money, it represents my feelings, so I hope Eunuch Feng accepts it. I am not a person who does not know how to be grateful. I have no action, but because of my lack of ability and lack of ability."

Zhu Yili said passionately.

"I understand, understand, Your Highness is a person with a temperament, how could he not know how to be grateful?" Feng Bao nodded repeatedly, "I have discovered that if a literati does not have a very affectionate and extremely beautiful personality, it is difficult for him to reach a peak."

"Thank you for Eunuch Feng's understanding!"

"We are all people who have experienced ups and downs, and of course we understand the most miserable people in their misery."

"Now, I've finally made it through. I won't worry about money in the second half of my life. I can focus on my research." Zhu Zaiyou said excitedly.

"Your Highness, but I remember that Long Sui Ye once mentioned a theory." Feng Bao reminded again.

"What theory?"

"It is the literati who must experience the troughs and misery of life. Only when they are low to the dust can they fully display their most affectionate and sexual character. If they are carefree, they may not be able to reach their peak in their creation."

"Oh? Eunuch Feng means, do you hope I will continue to be poor?" Zhu Zaiyou asked with a smile understanding.

"No, no, Your Highness is different. You have experienced everything you should experience."

"Yes, I think I've lived alone for 19 years, what's more difficult than this? Experienced poverty seems to be the fate of all the literati in the world."

"How much does Dr. Li's "Compendium of Materia Medica" cost?" Feng Bao asked curiously.

"Added five million."

"Is it only half that of His Royal Highness the Prince?" Feng Bao felt a little incredible. After all, in terms of fame and public acceptance, the two cannot be compared.

"Yes." Zhu Zai's words were confident and authentic.

"What about Shen Yongjia's paintings?" Feng Bao asked again.

"It's not sold, but there are several countries who want to pay a high salary to hire him to teach."

"So, His Highness's books are the most valuable?"

"You can't see this, it's just that my theory, the emperor said, can be used to make pianos and set the sound of pianos, which are high-end luxury goods."

"Oh, so that's it. But since that's the case, why did Master Long live to sell it to foreigners?"

Feng Bao asked in confusion, since it is so valuable, it means that it can create greater value. Why don’t you earn money by yourself?

"The emperor also said that Germany has advanced technology, and the Ming Dynasty could not produce the strings needed for pianos, so it was only sold to foreigners to develop and operate."

"The Ming Dynasty is not good, but other countries are fine?" Feng Bao was still puzzled.

"Does Eunuch Feng still think that the world is invincible? The emperor is willing to go on a mission to other countries even if he is opposed to the public. One of his purposes is to hope that the people of the country will not think that the world is the best? Nowadays, many aspects of foreign countries are ahead of the Ming Dynasty. They saw that Shen Yongjia's human sketching art was very calm, but we were fussing, what did it mean? Isn't it because they are knowledgeable, so they don't think it's strange?"
