Chapter 487: Asking for Items

Prince An and Prince Xian's participation in Prince Rui's business business was finally said by the emperor as a glorious thing worth showing off. Who dares to track down the emperor? If he says that he won't say it outside, he will be the first to break his promise, who can help him?

It doesn't matter if the emperor breaks his promise, Prince Jian will stop first. He is the most daring of all the princes, although sometimes he is told as a joke, he is also to the point, without scruples, and dares to say in front of the emperor:

"Your Majesty, we are all brothers from the same ancestral board, the descendants of Aixin Jueluo, does this keeper of the country also have a share of the brothers? No matter how bad it is, the rise and fall of the country is the responsibility of the husband, right? Prince An and Prince Xian were raised by their mothers, and we were all raised by our stepmothers? Originally, I thought that the second brother of Fuyou was just making a small fuss, but the result was good, and there was even a machine for burning bricks. Can you also arrange an errand for a few of our brothers? ”

The emperor has always had some prejudices against Prince Jane, thinking that he is too arrogant and does not listen to his words, and often jokes about himself in his speech.

"Ladies and gentlemen, it is not that I treat you with thick and thin, it is Prince An and Prince Xian who thought of it first. I didn't know what equipment the second emperor brother had in his hands, and Prince An and Prince Xian didn't know what they could do at first, but they just had an idea to help the second emperor brother. Lord Rui also meant to try it, so he gave them the things to do first to burn bricks and make wine. I don't understand what Second Brother Fuyou said, how do I know what other projects he has in his hands that can make money? Wait a minute, let the second brother Fuyou take care of it, and then I will tell you when he understands? And there is also a question of interest involved. Since everyone contributes to the Qing Dynasty, they must be like Lord Rui, sharing worries for me and the country, and there is no remuneration. Can you accept it? Can you stick to things that don't have profit? ”

"Didn't the emperor underestimate us? Everyone has a title, and there are their own Zhuangzi, and no one is so poor that they can't eat and go here to find food. Prince An and Prince Xian can follow the example of Lord Rui, can't we? ”

"That's it, you also flattened us." The emperor's half-brothers, the grandfathers of the country, also spoke. In the past, the princes and nobles, and the royal princes and nobles referred to the princes, county kings, and princes of the country. Being able to become a prince is all about achievements and great merit, not that the older you are, the higher the title. Although Prince Jian was a young prince, he was canonized as a prince because he had participated in the battle to pacify the Fujian Haikou. They didn't have Prince Jane's complaints, just to see what the emperor meant, the emperor asked everyone to do business, and he also found something to do, and the emperor didn't have this intention to give up, anyway, he was 10,000 taels of silver a year and the harvest on the Zhuangzi was not short of money to spend, and it didn't matter if he did business or not. Ladies and gentlemen, I want to take this opportunity to make some achievements, maybe I can get a prince to be a prince. Not to mention anything else, the prince's annual salary is 10,000 taels, and the annual salary of the prince is only 625 taels, which is less than half of Beizi. Of course, if they want to increase the silver, they don't believe that the prince makes money for the treasury and doesn't keep it at all. Who is so stupid? It is said that the rise and fall of the country is the responsibility of the husband, and he has to have a little benefit. Rui Wang Ye opened a hot and cold drink, and it became popular, receiving tens of thousands of people every day, earning two cents per person, and also dozens of taels of silver.

The mentality is different, the performance is different. It's not a trouble, it's a look at the situation. With Prince Jane as a rising bird, they don't worry about anything, they just do business. It is said that officials are not allowed to do business, which royal family member does not have a few dowry shops in operation? Even the Fujin Tong family of Lord Rui also has two or three dowry shops.

The emperor is about to go crazy for his gaffes, isn't this embarrassing for the second brother?

The news that the princes, county kings, and princes headed by Prince Jian went to the emperor to find something to do naturally quickly spread to the Rui Wangfu. The prince thought about it, with the participation of these princes and grandfathers of the country, in the future, Aobai will make trouble for himself, and all his half-brothers, cousins, and nephews will stand on his side, so let Tian Liang see what projects can be run for these bigwigs. As for how much they give to the emperor, it's not up to them. Anyway, I have to give the emperor some and send it to the treasury, and it is normal to keep some for myself. They are not cultivators, and you can't do it if you ask too much of a worldly person. Just discuss with Tian Liang to see if there are any instruments that can be taken out, just mean it, otherwise if you refuse, you will definitely offend people.

Of course, Tian Liang understood what the prince meant, so he picked out the ones that the princes and grandfathers could accept, the operation was not complicated, the electricity was not used, and they were easy to learn and understand, and listed the items to the prince.

The prince was also worried that Tian Liang had ideas, and the use of these instruments was mastered by Tian Liang, and he didn't seem to believe him when he sent them out. Without waiting for the prince and Tian Liang to speak, Tian Liang comforted the prince first: "Your subordinates know that you are worried about what your subordinates will think, no." With so many instruments, my subordinates can't keep them busy. Just leave what we must stay in the house and be able to operate by ourselves, such as fan machines and Buddha incense machines, which are all manually operated, without danger, and can also make money to transfer to the princes and grandfathers of the country, so that they can tinker with it, and they can also be a companion for you. ”

"You're not small-minded, you can't do it with another person."

Prince Kang and Prince Zhuang didn't express any opinions at all, that is, Prince Jian and the emperor's half-brothers had this intention. Prince Kang and Prince Zhuang are both nephews of the prince and the emperor, and they are juniors, so they are not too arrogant. Prince Jane is the emperor's junior and elder brother, and he is also the son of Zilharang. The emperor showed the greatest patience, and after listening to their quarrel enough, he said: "I can understand your worries about me, and I also know that you want to make meritorious contributions." But I really don't understand the situation of Lord Rui, and now the only merchant that rightfully belongs to him is 'Yulong Hot and Cold Drinks'. Don't worry, don't be in a hurry. You must know that there is also a Nalan Department Store and Yulong Cloth Village, Nalan Department Store is opened by the younger brother of Fuyou's second brother's personal guard Nalan Dongde, and Yulong Cloth Village is opened by Fuyou's second brother's cousin Fujin, they just sell some women's favorite fabrics to the girls and grandmothers in the house, and they are dealing in cotton, silk and homespun cloth, which has nothing to do with Fuyou's second brother at all. Maybe the second brother's business will grow bigger in the future, but now it's just the beginning. Be patient, and wait for me to ask you if there are any other projects, and my head will be made big by you. ”

As soon as these brothers and nephews heard that what the emperor said was reliable, then go back and wait, what everyone has is time. Can do business in the name of the royal family, which local snake dares to support Maoer? None of their family's maiden families are officials or rich, and they also have a few dowry shops in operation. Who is afraid of more money biting their hands? If it is said that there is no profit to be gained, who will believe it?

After that, the princes, county princes, and princesses led by Prince Jian gathered in Prince Jian's mansion, and after complaining for a while, Prince Jian said: "Brothers, nephews, make trouble, I think everyone should forget it, how can the second brother of Fuyou bring back so many ways to make money?" We seem to see the money on it, let's put out the fire and think about it first, don't be the emperor to give us a hole on the bridge. ”

Prince Zhuang is the son of Prince Cheng Zeyu, the fifth half-brother of the prince, who died, and his son inherited the title of his father and was Prince Zhuang. His father was ********, and after his death, he directly inherited the title of prince of Amma, and was the prince's own nephew. Prince Kang is the grandson of Huang Taiji's elder brother, Prince Li Daishan, and is the cousin of the prince and the emperor. The population of the second prince of Kang and Zhuang is not very large, he lives a wealthy life, he has no worries about everything, and he has no interest in business, but it is not easy to refute Prince Jane's face, so he brought a pair of ears to listen. As soon as I heard the unruly voice of Prince Jane, I found an opportunity to run down the urethra. They don't dare to be disrespectful to the emperor, they are not afraid of the emperor, the queen mother can't afford to provoke them, and the prince is in front of them, don't make any accusations of rebellion on your shoulders, and look at the limelight about business.

The prince was invited by the emperor to the south study again.

"Brother Huang, I don't know anything about you, but these brothers of ours really want to help you, if you have a project that can make them do something, you can ...... it."

"Your Majesty, the minister is thinking about this. Everyone wants to serve the country, which is a good thing, and the minister still has a few equipment in his hand that allows everyone to do things: roasting machine, straw machine, puffing machine, Buddha incense machine, fan machine, threshing machine, miscellaneous grain grinder, straw grinder, etc. ”

"Brother Huang, I have really convinced you. How much money do these things cost? ”

"Didn't you sell Mr. Chen's antiques? If the minister himself could not afford to buy these devices. ”

The prince just donated the manual equipment, do you dare to use electricity for them? It takes a few years just to teach them the basics, and it's okay to make trouble on your own? But the emperor said that he couldn't help but give the emperor a son.

"Then you write down the price, and you'll get silver for these things. You're embarrassed to ask, I'm here to collect the money. ”

The prince smiled and handed over the list of equipment with the price written to the emperor. The prices have been calculated according to the silver ratio of the Qing Dynasty.

"Your Majesty, if they want to give the silver or borrow it, the ministers don't care. You take the money directly and send it to the treasury, and if you borrow it, you have to make an IOU, or after a long time, you will forget who it is. ”

"And say that you are not a material for business, you are proficient, you have to be like this. Since it's an instrument, it's not something that can be bought for three or five taels of silver, so it's not good to give it for nothing, right? If you don't let you participate, you will say that you will not be given the opportunity to make contributions, depending on your attitude when you ask for money. The most infuriating thing is that Prince Jane, as if I have treated him badly. Whichever instrument is the most expensive, give it to him! Don't be a flyover, just talk about it, don't practice. ”

The prince said: "Prince Jian is young and vigorous, and there are some of them. This young man is not bad, but he speaks straighter, he is his own brother, don't care. ”

The emperor smiled: "You really have the strength of a big brother." Then when did I tell them when I went to court? ”

"Yes, let them choose for themselves, don't appropriate. Don't make people think that our two brothers are usually close to each other, partnering to bully others. ”

The emperor laughed and was very happy: "Brother Huang, you are much more cheerful when you go out this time." ”

The prince was a little embarrassed and said, "It seems that the minister was dull enough before. ”

These instruments taken out by the prince are acceptable to the brothers and nephews, and they must be used in the house for business, such as bean sprout machine, straw paper machine, honeycomb coal machine, traditional Chinese medicine grinder, juicer, fresh orange juicer, meatball machine, **** machine, bone cutting machine, stainless steel meat grinder, napkin machine, automatic folder gluing machine, snowflake ice machine, powder leakage machine, noodle machine, soybean milk machine, sweater knitting machine, eye-punching machine, old-fashioned printer, mimeograph machine, hydraulic oil press, mill, household chicken and duck incubator, dough machine, steamed bread machine, dumpling machine, Dry tofu machines, juice concentrate machines, shoe-making machines, jacquard sweater knitting machines, as well as distillation pots for brewing and making cosmetics, straw gas stoves, biogas equipment, shower equipment, etc., are all commercially available in the house, and they cannot all be sacrificed. Some of the equipment was designed by Mr. Zhong with the technicians of the Academy of Agricultural Sciences, and some of them must be designed with electricity. The machine that uses electricity should be used in the most private place, and it can't be used too often, and it will be a big trouble if the Queen Mother's eyeliner knows about it.
