Under the influence of Yuzhu, Kangxi could no longer be satisfied with the small profits of more than 300,000 taels of silver. He frowned but said nothing.
Yuzhu understood immediately and said with a smile: "The net profit of one boat is indeed a little less, how about two?"
"Foreign businessmen in Guangzhou?" Kangxi only said half of the words.
Yuzhu still smiled and said: "The Qing Dynasty has its own national conditions, how can it be controlled by the Western barbarian merchants?"
"How much do you plan to earn by following this?" Kangxi also knew that Yuzhu was a typical guy who couldn't afford to start early without profit.
Yuzhu's idea is actually very simple. Even if it doesn't make money, setting up a shipyard will be a great cause that will benefit the future.
However, if Yuzhu didn't want to make money, Kangxi would become suspicious.
No benefit, who gets up early?
"One out of ten." If you earn more than the emperor, you can do it in private, but you can never say that.
Kangxi also knew very well that although Yuzhu had the ability to make money, he was actually a guy who was greedy for pleasure.
"Humph, your mother has a lot of money." Kangxi's words were not quite right.
Yuzhu said with a smile: "Old man, you only know that I don't like women, I only like money."
Kangxi was amused and scolded: "You are both a womanizer and a lover of money."
Well, that's right, Yuzhu just wanted to leave this kind of impression on Kangxi, the deeper the better.
"Anyway, you are the chief minister of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, so the foreign ships are under the name of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, right?" After Kangxi said this, Yuzhu remembered that, thank you, he also had a part-time job in the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
The official system of the Qing Dynasty was actually quite strange.
Among the six departments, in addition to the minister and the minister, the next level is the fifth-rank doctor. There is a big gap in the middle. It is the same as the internal affairs office that needs to be transferred to other yamen. Except for the third-rank general manager, all the next-level doctors are
It is the fifth rank, and there is a huge gap in status between Tang Guan and Si Guan.
However, the doctor in charge of the Ministry of Internal Affairs is similar to the secretary-general of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. He is the head of the doctors and has great real power.
However, Yuzhu was very cautious and had never gone to the Ministry of Internal Affairs to do business.
According to the division of labor, Yuzhu earns money, while the Ministry of Internal Affairs spends money. There must be no confusion.
If Yuzhu had no control over how the emperor spent his money, he would be the biggest fool in the world.
Hehe, a chicken (egg) only costs 50 cents, but the price quoted by the Ministry of Internal Affairs is one tael of silver.
According to Yuzhu's guess, Kangxi, who was familiar with commodity prices, should know the truth. However, the emperor didn't care about it, and Yuzhu would not care about it.
"Lao Shiba is not good again. After you are on duty, you can lead him around."
My son, who is several years old, is indeed very childlike when playing with him.
However, as time went by, Kangxi's head hurt from being disturbed, and he became a little annoyed with the old man.
"Old man, this is not appropriate, is it? Several elder brothers are here, wouldn't it be just right for them to lead the Eighteenth Master to play?" Yuzhu didn't want to play with the children, so he wanted to shirk it.
Wei Zhu thought to himself that the minister who dared to bargain with Long Live Lord like this was Yuzhu.
Yuzhu didn't know the inside story, but Wei Zhu was very clear.
The eighteenth child went out to play with the fourth child and complained when he came back. He didn't eat well, didn't drink well, didn't play well, and didn't look good.
As for the fourteenth old man, hey, this man was even more amazing. He actually rode away on his own horse, leaving the eighteenth old man crying on the spot.
As for Lao Twelve, he had a weak foundation and did not dare to offend Lao Shiba, who was favoring him, so he just let Lao Shiba's temperament prevail.
As a result, the two young eunuchs were pushed into the canal and almost drowned.
"You have a lot of evil ideas, and asking you to play with Lao Ba is because I think highly of you, do you understand?" Kangxi actually threatened.
Yuzhu was not afraid. He frowned and said, "Old man, I'll put the ugly words in front of you. If the Eighteenth Master behaves wildly, I won't tolerate him. I'll beat him half to death first."
"This is asking for your will.
Lao Shiba was Kangxi's most beloved son in his later years, so Yuzhu naturally did not dare to do anything to him.
However, Lao Shiba’s Haha Pearl is about to be in bad luck.
In fact, Kangxi also knew about Yuzhu's difficulties. Even he himself could not control Lao Shiba, let alone Yuzhu, who was a minister.
However, Kangxi also felt bitter in his heart. The various conditions faced by his brothers, Lao Shiba, were, to put it bluntly, a lack of sibling affection.
The most hateful thing is Lao Si4. Even if he perfunctory his younger brother and pretend to be a facade, Kangxi would feel much better.
"Well, if Lao Ba is disobedient, you can clean up his haha beads." Kangxi also understood Yu Zhu's stubbornness very well.
If you don't agree to this condition, Yuzhu will definitely find ways to give up the choice.
What is the nature of a child?
Play.
Since Kangxi forced Lao Ba to be handed over to Yuzhu, Yuzhu naturally wanted to have fun with him.
How to play?
There are really too many ways.
After landing on the shore, Yuzhu deliberately picked an open space near Yu Zhou.
I ordered the eunuchs to bring in carpets, lay them on several layers, and do a good job of safety protection.
Haha, the beads are all hiding behind Lao Shiba, and Yuzhu plays the role of the eagle catching the chicks.
Hey, it was a child's trick, and the old man was giggling with joy, and Kangxi was soon alarmed.
Kangxi held his hand on the railing and looked at Lao Shiba who was smiling very happily and having a great time. He couldn't help but feel a little lost.
Liang Jiugong, who was on the side, saw a smile on the corner of Long Live Master's mouth, and he was obviously in a good mood.
Wei Zhu, who was shrinking behind, secretly pointed his thumb at the jade pillar. He was really a master.
Is Yuzhu sincerely playing with Lao Shiba, or is he pretending to be perfunctory? He has already met countless people, can't he still not see it?
Wei Zhu squinted his eyes and after careful consideration, he discovered a pattern.
Before accepting the errand, Yuzhu will definitely bargain with Long Live Lord. Once he accepts the errand, Yuzhu will definitely go all out to complete the errand.
"Wei Zhu, Yuzhu likes very thinly sliced mutton. Go and tell the imperial kitchen to serve it carefully. If there is any slightest care, be careful of their dog heads." Kangxi waved to Wei Zhu and gave the order lightly.
.
Yuzhu didn't know too much about children's toys.
After getting tired of playing the game of the eagle catching the chicken, Yuzhu took advantage of the situation and ordered the craftsmen in the camp to make seesaws, slides, and three-wheeled bicycles with wheels.
Just in time, Lei Jinyu also followed. After he saw Yuzhu, he bowed respectfully and said with a smile: "Mr. Zhu, just ask me if you have anything to do. I will definitely do it."
After Yu Zhu finished his instructions, Lei Jinyu turned around and stuffed a three thousand tael silver note into Wu Jiang, and begged in a low voice: "Master Wu, please, if the job is too difficult, I will be forced to die."
."
Wu Jiang knew very well that Lei Jinyu was worried that Yuzhu was deliberately making things difficult for him. If he couldn't complete it, someone would lose his head.
Only a fool doesn't know the important position Lao Shiba holds in the heart of Long Live Lord.
Under the banner of Lao Shiba, Yuzhu has absolute lethality to the craftsmen and can take whatever they want.
Hearing what Wu Jiang said, Yu Zhu couldn't help but smile. Why did he deliberately make things difficult for Lei Jinyu? Is it necessary?
Yuzhu only has one requirement: the toy must be made as soon as possible, the surface must be smooth, and no burrs are allowed.
After Lei Jinyu heard about it, he couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief. The craftsmen accompanying the camp were all carefully selected and capable, and they needed to be skilled in their craftsmanship.
If you want speed, have speed.
As a result, the next day, Kangxi heard Mo'er laughing loudly and came out to see it out of curiosity.
Good guy, his little son was having so much fun that he couldn't close his mouth except for a silly smile.
Kangxi smoothed his white beard, narrowed his eyes and thought for a while, then told Liang Jiugong: "Go, take my 'Zhao Ye Cong' and reward the jade pillar."
"Long live my lord, that horse Zhaoye Cong is your favorite..." Before Liang Jiugong could finish his words, he was interrupted by Kangxi who raised his hand, "If I tell you to go, just go. If you dare to talk too much, I will pull it out."
Your rotten tongue."
"Well." Liang Jiugong had no choice but to accept the decree and get off the boat to make arrangements.
Soon, the news that the emperor had rewarded Yuzhu with his favorite royal horse spread throughout the entire southbound team.
Wu Io narrowed his eyes and said with a smile: "Just wait and see, it won't be long before the emperor can't live without this son."
Yuzhu was also a disciple of Li Guangdi, so he was naturally optimistic about success.
Manchus and Hanchens each had their own paths for career advancement, and they did not interfere with each other.
With the relationship between the provincial examination teacher and his disciple, Li Guangdi and Yuzhu have no conflict of interest at all. Even if they cannot have a close relationship, their relationship is not bad.
However, when Ma Qi found out, he couldn't help but frown and said worriedly: "The young man is so lucky to be here. It is not a blessing to the country."
In fact, Yuzhu had never done anything to offend Ma Qi. Ma Qi was just jealous.
During dinner, the fourth child sighed and said to Si Fujin: "If things continue like this, Yuzhu's future will definitely be far ahead of Nian Lianggong's."
Si Fujin smiled and said, "He is our cousin, and he has a close relationship with our thirteenth brother."
After Si Fujin reminded him, the fourth child couldn't help but smile. He was also a little jealous.
Alas, during Kangxi's southern tour, all the prince's brothers had errands to do, but the thirteenth son was left in the capital with nothing to do.
The fourth child, I feel extremely sorry for the thirteenth child.
In the history books, from the death of Concubine Min, to the deposed prince, to the collapse of Shanling, there is almost no record of Lao Shisan.
This is really an amazing mystery.
If we say that after deposing the crown prince, Lao Shisan did some shady things and was rejected by Kangxi from then on, Yuzhu is still understandable.
But the problem is that it took a long time from the death of Concubine Min to the deposing of the crown prince.
This time on the southern tour, even the transparent Old Fifteen came with him, but Old Thirteen, known as the King of Heroes, was completely forgotten. Is it strange?
For seven days in a row, Yuzhu made Lao Shiba laugh so hard that he was so happy that he was so happy that he was so happy.
Among the eunuchs, maids and nuns around Lao Shiba, which one is the fool?
Everyone could see clearly that Yuzhu was sincerely treating Master Shiba, so they all became particularly affectionate towards Yuzhu.
