Chapter 817 The rainy season has indeed come early
When Shen Wansan knew that this business deal was promising, he was very happy and immediately started discussions with Zhu Han.
If he could sell the cement formula to himself, he would be able to prosper in Jiangnan and give Zhu Han a large sum of money.
"My lord, do you know that I have strong financial resources in Jiangnan. As long as you promise to sell me the cement formula, I am willing to pay you even 10,000 taels of silver."
Zhu Han glanced at Shen Wansan indifferently. How could he not know what Shen Wansan had in mind, but now was not a good time.
The cement formula was in Zhang Fengnian's hands, but in the name of repairing the palace, the money was not enough for Zhu Han.
"You don't know how popular this cement formula was in Yingtian Mansion back then. Since I was able to sell it to you, I naturally took a fancy to your talent."
Zhu Han changed the subject and did not immediately agree to Shen Wansan's request.
Besides, Zhu Han doesn't like that kind of money at all.
What he wanted was a little more than what Shen Wansan could give, and the business would definitely be long-lasting, so that he could make a big fuss about the cement formula.
"But it's not that difficult to sell you this cement formula, but I don't care about the money at all."
When Shen Wansan heard Zhu Han's words, his eyes lit up. Being able to build houses for the palace, cement is indeed very powerful.
If Zhu Yuanzhang likes it, it will naturally be sold at a good price, and Shen Wansan has already begun to make plans for himself.
"Your Majesty, how much would it cost to sell this cement to me?"
Zhu Han turned to look at Shen Wansan with a slight smile on his face.
"I won't sell you the formula, but we can work together."
Shen Wansan was a little puzzled when he heard Zhu Han's words. Zhu Han saw that the sky was almost dark, so he took Shen Wansan to the county government study room.
Zhu Han put an agreement he had prepared directly in front of Shen Wansan, and Shen Wansan suddenly understood it as soon as he saw it.
Zhu Han directly stated in the agreement that he could hand over the formula to Shen Wansan, but he would have to pay himself a sum of money for the cement he sold, which would be considered as a dividend between the two of them.
"We will split it 30/70 between us. I will take 30/70% of your stuff and you will sell it yourself. Whether you can sell it at a good price or not, it is up to you to decide how to do the business."
Shen Wansan was shocked when he heard Zhu Han's words.
He has always been in business and always knows his way around Jiangnan. He didn't expect to be tricked by Zhu Han today. He looked at Zhu Han and felt a little unwilling.
"But in this case, wouldn't it mean that you have a share of every money I make? I really can't compliment your idea, Your Majesty."
Shen Wansan was a little reluctant. On the surface, this business seemed very profitable, but in fact, he had lost a lot of money without knowing it.
Zhu Han watched Shen Wansan gently support his chin with his hands, looking at him with unfinished thoughts.
"That's what you decide in your heart. If you do business with me, I will definitely give you this cement formula with both hands. But if the business doesn't do well, you will have to bear the loss yourself."
"I will give you three days to think about it. If you still haven't made a decision after the flood is over, I will respond to Tianfu first."
Zhu Han is not in a hurry. The formula is in his hands and no one else can take it away.
"When you come to Yingtian Mansion by yourself in the future and do business with me, I'm afraid you won't be so easy to talk to at that time."
Shen Wansan was speechless by Zhu Han's words. He looked at Zhu Han.
"Your Majesty, since you have said so, let us conclude this business today."
Shen Wansan clearly saw the current situation. Yingtian Mansion was a place that ate people without spitting out their bones. As a businessman, he had no status at all.
Even though he was as rich as anyone in the country, in the eyes of the officials in the DPRK and China, he was never on the stage, and Shen Wansan didn't bother to look at their faces.
"If you really go to Yingtian Mansion, I'm afraid I may not be able to see you even though I have traveled thousands of miles to find you."
"The water in Yingtian Mansion is too deep, and I don't want to go there. Only in the south of the Yangtze River can people do business."
Shen Wansan was a cheerful man, and when Zhu Han heard what he said, he agreed without hesitation.
The two of them were able to fulfill this cooperation as soon as possible. Zhu Han watched Shen Wansan hand over the contract to him.
"Then the two of us have negotiated. After the contract is signed, I will give you the formula. It is up to you to decide how to do business."
Shen Wansan was very happy. He didn't expect that he could still do this business before the flood came. He was extremely happy.
"My lord, you are really a kind person. If so, then we will discuss it."
Zhu Han burst out laughing and Shen Wansan, the two of them had finally reached a cooperation agreement.
In the next two days, He Fengyu and Shen Wansan's men began to build dams to protect the people.
They cannot make any mistakes, and they are already full of confidence in building the dam this time.
At this time, something happened at the court.
When the memorials of Song Lian and Zhu Han were delivered to Yingtian Mansion, Zhu Yuanzhang saw in the imperial study that the two of them had begun building dams in the south of the Yangtze River.
Zhu Yuanzhang was very satisfied.
But when he came to court, someone actually started to impeach Zhu Han.
"Your Majesty, the King of England and the Crown Prince are both building dams in the south of the Yangtze River. It's fine that they haven't reported it to the court."
"Even with the imperial edict, the things that are being measured now have not been dealt with clearly. If the prince is really in Jiangnan, it will be really difficult to do harm to His Majesty."
"I also heard that Wang Ye has a close relationship with Shen Wansan."
Zhu Yuanzhang did not want to listen to the gossip of these courtiers, but when he heard their impeachment of Zhu Han, Zhu Yuanzhang's face became very ugly.
"It's really hard for you to stand up and talk when you say these things. You don't manage the affairs of the court well. You stare at the King and the Crown Prince every day to impeach them. You are a bunch of losers."
Zhu Yuanzhang always valued Zhu Biao. Youjia and Zhu Han were brothers who were born and died, no matter how little people in the court could see Zhu Han's contribution.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! But he knows everything.
Everything Zhu Han did was for the sake of the Ming Dynasty. Zhu Yuanzhang would never have any ill intentions towards Zhu Han just because of other people's words.
Zhu Yuanzhang's words left everyone in the court speechless.
Seeing this situation, the officials in the DPRK and the Central Government wrote letters one after another.
Zhu Han and Zhu Biao have now made great contributions to the affairs of the DPRK, so Zhu Han should reward them well.
Seeing such a memorial, Zhu Yuanzhang was very satisfied.
The status of Zhu Han and Zhu Biao have been greatly improved anytime and anywhere.
The people of Yingtian Mansion even praised the two men's deeds.
"The prince and the prince went to the south of the Yangtze River to control floods. This is a rare opportunity now."
"It can be seen how much effort the prince and prince have put in for the Ming Dynasty. No matter what others say, it is impossible to change their positions."
"This is the kind of court official who can truly think about the people, instead of staring at others' impeachment every day."
The deeds of Zhu Han and Zhu Biao in Jiangnan have been spread in Yingtian Mansion.
When Gao Fei told Zhu Han the news, both Zhu Han and Zhu Biao couldn't help laughing.
"Your Majesty, why bother to prove it for us? God is watching what you do. When the news of Jiangnan spreads, many people will understand my good intentions."
Zhu Han heard that Zhu Yuanzhang was furious in the court. Although he was happy, he was also a little worried.
Among the ministers of the DPRK and China, they have already formed cliques for personal gain.
Zhu Yuanzhang was able to be his backer in this way, which made him feel mixed emotions.
"Your Majesty, I am not in a hurry for this moment."
Gao Fei felt that Zhu Yuanzhang's approach could better show Zhu Han's importance.
It is also a good thing not to let those officials impeach Zhu Han.
"Anyway, Your Majesty has already done this, so Your Majesty doesn't have to worry. I heard that the flood problem has been resolved now. I don't know if it's true or not."
Gao Fei has been spreading news between the two places and doesn't know anything about Jiangnan.
Now I just want to find out more information.
Zhu Han then told Gao Fei about the construction of the dam.
Now that the time has come, he is waiting for the good news from He Fengyu.
While the two were talking, He Fengyu led the county magistrate into Zhu Han's study.
"Master, please go and take a look. Our dam has been built."
He Fengyu ran in happily and told Zhu Han the news.
After hearing his words, Zhu Han looked confident, which actually excited Song Lian beside him.
"Mr. He, what you said is true. We haven't gone to the dam in the past few days. We don't know how the construction is going. But we didn't expect you to really build the entire dam in three days?"
He Fengyu is so happy.
In the past few days, he finally breathed a sigh of relief. After the dams were built, the people had returned home. Now he was just waiting for the rainy season to see how effective their dams were.
"Master Song, how could I lie to you."
After hearing his words, Song Lian's hanging heart relaxed slightly, and Zhu Han took out the drawings of their dam construction.
He Fengyu hurriedly stepped forward, pointed to the underground dam that had been built long ago, and explained the irrigation problem to Song Lian and Zhu Han.
The dam was built really well this time, and the water spreading out of the Yellow River has been slowly dispersed by them.
After passing through the fertile fields, the people's irrigation problems have been completely solved.
The drip irrigation technology used by Zhu Han in the past has now come in handy.
The fields that are still suffering from drought are now moistened by water and can be planted immediately.
The land will also become more fertile.
"After the construction was completed today, the water in the dam has quickly overflowed, just enough to irrigate the fields."
He Fengyu became more and more excited as he talked, while Zhu Han stood aside and listened quietly.
All plans were slowly implemented according to his layout.
Zhu Han's hanging heart finally relaxed.
"This is the best result. Otherwise, if something happens in the future, I'm afraid it will take some time."
He Fengyu nodded repeatedly and while the others were talking, Zhu Biao suddenly noticed that there was a strong wind outside.
"The dam was just built today, and I didn't expect that the rainy season has already arrived. What a coincidence."
Upon hearing this, Zhu Han and everyone immediately walked out of the room and looked at the sky, which was indeed covered with dark clouds and gloomy.
"Boom, boom, boom..."
Bursts of thunder fell from the sky, and Zhu Han felt a little frightened.
Fortunately, the dam has been completed, otherwise we don't know how many things would happen if the rainy season were to come earlier.
"I really didn't expect that the rainy season would actually come early. It seems that the experienced people are reliable. Fortunately, I listened to them and took the time to build the dam."
The matter of building the dam was already very urgent.
For them, a lot of time was wasted on this. Fortunately, the dam has been built, so Zhu Han doesn't have to worry much anymore.
"The construction of the dam has just been completed today. Officer Shen has booked a table in the restaurant and asked the master, the prince and Mr. Song to go there and have dinner together. The carriage is at the door."
Gao Fei was a little shocked, but he didn't expect that they were quite prepared.
What Shen Wansan did to these things really made them all feel helpless.
Fortunately, if everything is arranged properly, there won't be many problems.
"In that case, let's just go and see the excitement. Anyway, the dyke issue has been resolved, and there will definitely be good news tonight."
After Zhu Hanfa's words, Song Lian and Zhu Biao didn't have any worries, so they all went out together.
Shen Wansan had been waiting for a long time. When he saw Zhu Han's carriage approaching, he quickly stepped forward to greet it.
"Your Majesty, you are finally here. I have been waiting for you for several hours."
Zhu Han was a little embarrassed. He had been waiting for news about Gao Fei, but he didn't expect to keep Shen Wansan waiting for so long.
Zhu Han took Zhu Biao and others into the restaurant.
There were many people eating in the restaurant. When they saw Zhu Han, they immediately came forward to compliment him.
"Your Majesty, it is really a blessing for our people that you can build a dam for us this time."
"Although the rainy season has advanced, the Yellow River has not released water. This is a rare occurrence in a hundred years."
"It's all thanks to the prince and prince. We can be blessed in the future. This is because God is giving us a way out in Jiangnan."
Zhu Han listened to the people's words and quickly helped them up.
It was also the first time for Zhu Biao to see such a scene, and he felt a little proud.
He has witnessed many things before, but this is the first time that he can truly be admired by the people.
"Get up quickly. No matter what, it belongs to the Ming Dynasty. If anything happens to the people, the court will not ignore it."
With Zhu Biao's words, the people's anxious hearts finally relaxed.
They no longer have to worry about the Yellow River bursting its banks.
Seeing that the time was almost up, Shen Wansan took them all to Yage.
In the Yage, everyone gathered around the table and sat down around it.
Shen Wansan was doing business in Jiangnan and shared some of his business tips with Zhu Han very generously.
The few people exchanged glasses without much airs, and even Song Lian had already become one with them.
He Fengyu was already a little drunk, but there was still no news from the county government, which proved that their dam had been successfully built.
"Master, the Yellow River has not burst its banks. You have really solved the flood problem this time."
Zhu Han raised his lips and smiled when he heard this, but didn't take it to heart.
