When the car returned to Gao University's residence, Gao Mo carefully woke up Gao pragmatic. The half-asleep Gao pragmatic returned to the backyard of the mansion and walked to his small courtyard. As soon as he entered the courtyard gate, he saw Shang Yue coming towards him, holding a hand in his hand.
Holding a few letters, he said with a smile: "Young Master, there is a letter from Xinzheng."
After all, Gao Qingshi has the body of a child. He was a little sleepy at this time, but he still managed to cheer up. He nodded and said: "Send it to my study." Then he walked directly towards the study, only took two steps, and stopped again.
, added: "And make another cup of strong tea."
Seeing that he didn't want to talk much, Shangyue didn't dare to ask any more questions, so she answered and hurriedly followed him.
After entering the study, Gao pragmatically picked up the letter and read it. While admiring the moon, he went to make tea and listen to the piano, but he was not in the yard. He thought he had other things to do.
The first letter was written by his mother, Mrs. Zhang. In addition to various routine instructions, it mainly told Gao Jingshi that he wanted to find several people in the capital. The people in Xinzheng had already been dealt with, and when the letter was sent out, they were also
I have already started to pack my belongings and belongings, and I expect to arrive in Beijing five or six days later than the letter.
In addition, she praised her son's soap as a good thing and asked him if he planned to make more and sell it. If he sold it, the profit should be good. Zhang even said that if his son felt that the Gao family was not suitable to get involved with these merchants,
For the matter, she can ask her third brother—that is, the highly pragmatic third uncle Zhang Sijiao—to borrow some people to take care of it.
Gao Pingshi couldn't laugh or cry when he saw it, and thought to himself that my cheap mother is indeed from the Zhang family in Puzhou. The first thing she thought about after seeing the soap was that it could make money, unlike Zhu Yijun who only remembered that it could be mixed with water and blown into bubbles.
Bubble……
However, it is not okay to leave this matter to my mother, because if I leave it to my mother now, it is equivalent to leaving it to the Zhang family. After all, my mother does not have many business talents available, so she must borrow it from her third uncle.
Gao Jingshi knew very well that his third uncle had a close relationship with his mother, and it was unlikely that he would trick his own sister, but Gao Jingshi had no intention of tying his prototype business empire so closely to the Zhang family now.
This is not because he doesn't trust his uncle's family, but because he is still too weak. If the two parties are combined, Zhang Qiang will definitely be the stronger one - this is not in line with Gao's pragmatic thoughts, and it is not in line with his original intention of building his own business territory.
.
If Gao Pragmatic just wants to make money and make big money, then it is undoubtedly a good thing to cooperate with the Zhang family now: the capital has already started operations. After meeting Li Guifei today, the soap royal tribute plan is mostly completed.
All that was left was the emperor's final nod, and it was impossible for the emperor not to nod - the price Gao Pragmatic offered was to supply 10,000 yuan of soap to the palace for free every year, and the proportion of specific styles was determined by the palace.
The price of these soaps is of course based on the calculated value of one tael per piece as previously thought. With Long Qing’s style, ten thousand taels can be directly saved, so why not? Only fools don’t want it!
Besides, the conditions required by Gao Jingshi were simple, that is, the emperor allowed Gao Jingshi to divide these soaps for men and women, calling them "Yu Gong·Supreme" and "Yu Gong·Guo Se", and from now on, the soaps used in the palace would be exclusively owned by Gao Jingshi.
Yugong. At the same time, Gao Pragmatic guarantees that the best soaps will be used as tribute, and only products of the next level or worse will be sold, and "Yugong·Supreme" and "Yugong·Guo" will never be used.
Color" word.
How could the emperor, who has all the profits and face, refuse to agree? Besides, this thing is an exclusive product in itself, and he is pragmatic and won't supply it. Who can I ask to get it?
It’s not that businessmen these days aren’t savvy and their business thinking isn’t meticulous, it’s just that we’re still in the era of farming civilization after all, and everyone hasn’t realized much about the importance of brands, let alone the importance of “spokesmen.”
As a time traveler, Gao Pragmatic is different. He knows the importance of these two things very clearly. In a "feudal dynasty" like the Ming Dynasty, the most powerful brand is the "Emperor", and of course the most domineering spokesperson
Also "Emperor".
Even the emperor uses it, and the emperor agrees... What else do you have to worry about? Buy it quickly!
Therefore, he is very optimistic about the future of the soap business - or the future of the soap business. As long as this business is started and promoted, I can't say that it will be comparable to the business of Zhangjiajialu Salt Farm, but at least it can
His reputation has spread all over the world, and the Zhang family does not dare to underestimate him. It will not be too late to talk about an alliance by then.
Gao pragmatically replied to the letter casually, saying that he had other ideas about the matter and asked his mother not to worry about it too much. He then thanked her for recruiting talents for him and asked her to pay more attention to her health and so on.
The other letters were written by specific people who came to thank the young master of the sixth house for his trust. Most of them were clichés. Since people were almost here, Gao Pragmatic didn't bother to reply.
He originally planned to sleep for a while before going, but after answering the letter and having lunch, the effect of the cup of strong tea took effect and he couldn't sleep. After thinking about it, he simply went out early and went to Cheng'en Temple where Liu Xian was temporarily staying in Beijing.
And go.
Chengen Temple is a very magical temple. The magical thing is that it has "three no's": no incense, no dojo, and no temple.
The gate of this temple has been closed all year round. Since the temple was built in the fifth year of Zhengde, it has never been opened to the public for decades, and it is still the same now. This has always kept the temple shrouded in a veil of mystery.
It stands to reason that temples generally open their doors to accept incense, because temples also need financial resources to maintain daily operations, and monks also have to live. Without the income from incense, what can they do? But Chengen Temple is different.
They don't open the door, and they don't want to offer incense.
The five characters "Emperor Chengen Temple" in front of the temple are inscribed by the Zhengde Emperor Zhu Houzhao. From south to north, there are four main halls, including the Shanmen Hall, the Tianwang Hall, the Main Hall, and the Dharma Hall. There are side halls on both sides of the main hall.
There are dozens of wing rooms. Strangely, this temple is surrounded by four stone watchtowers, which is really rare for domestic temples.
Although the temple is not open to the public and does not accept incense, the monks inside do not worry about food and drink, which shows that they have other sources of income. Gao Pragmatic's carriage stopped not far from the entrance of the temple, and he got off the carriage and walked.
He is a devout believer in Buddhism because there are a pair of dismounting stones in front of Chengen Temple.
The dismounting stone is usually found in royal palaces and palaces, and has no connection with ordinary people. The presence of this thing at the entrance of Chengen Temple shows that it is not an ordinary temple.
That's right, Cheng'en Temple was built with the approval of Emperor Zhengde and supervised by the great eunuch Wen Xiang. It was originally used as a peripheral stronghold for the East Factory and also used for school training. Later, after Jiajing succeeded to the throne, because he was a very skilled man.
A powerful emperor who could suppress hundreds of officials without relying on eunuchs. The eunuchs once seriously lost power, so Chengen Temple was transferred to Brother Nai, who was highly trusted by Jiajing, Lu Bing, the commander-in-chief of the Jinyiwei, and became a peripheral stronghold of the Jinyiwei.
However, because of Lu Bing's weight, Jinyiwei actually did not lack this small stronghold, which was not very large, so it was suspended for a few years. Later, for the sake of reputation, Lu Bing used some of his other courtyards as entertainment to come to Beijing.
As a temporary residence for officials, I thought of Chengen Temple and took it out.
However, due to organizational problems, this place was a fortress, a tower, and a school ground. Most civil servants were unwilling to come and live there. The governor of mainland China made a favor and temporarily accommodated the military ministers who came to Beijing with a wave of his hand.
Gao pragmatic arrived in advance. Although Liu Xian was a little surprised, he was still very happy and went out to greet him personally.
