The car returned to the Gao University Scholar's Mansion, Gao Mo carefully woke up Gao Pragmatic, and Gao Pragmatic, who was half-asleep and half-awake, returned to the backyard of the mansion and walked to his small courtyard. As soon as I entered the courtyard gate, I saw the moon admiring coming over, holding a few letters in his hand, and said with a smile: "Master Da, Xinzheng has sent a letter." ”

After all, Gao Pragmatic is a child's body, and he was a little sleepy at this time, but he still beat his spirits, nodded and said, "Send it to my study." Then he walked directly to the study, only took two steps, stopped again, and added: "Make another cup of strong tea." ”

Seeing that he didn't want to talk more and didn't dare to ask more, she quickly followed.

When he entered the study, Gao Pragmatic picked up the letter and read it, and went to make tea while admiring the moon, but listening to the piano was not in the courtyard, thinking that there was something else to do.

The first letter was written by his mother Zhang, in addition to various routine advices, the main thing was to tell Gao Pragmatic that he was going to find a few people from Beijing, and that everything on Xinzheng's side had already been done, and when the letter departed, they had already begun to pack up their belongings and belongings, and it was expected that they would arrive in Beijing five or six days later than the letter.

In addition, he praised the soap made by his son as a good thing, and asked him if he had any plans to make more and sell it, if he took it out and sold it, the profit should be good. Even Zhang also said that if her son felt that the Gao family was not suitable to be involved in these businessmen, she could ask her third brother - that is, Gao Shishi's third uncle Zhang Sijiao - to borrow some people to take care of it.

Gao Pragmatic looked at it a little crying and laughing, and said in his heart that my cheap mother is worthy of being born in Puzhou Zhang, and the first thing I did when I saw the soap was that I thought that this thing could make money, but it was no better than Zhu Yijun who only remembered that this thing could blow bubbles with water......

However, it is not okay to hand over this matter to my mother, because if I hand it over to my mother now, it is equivalent to handing it over to the Zhang family, after all, my mother herself does not have many business talents available, so she must find her third uncle to borrow it.

The third uncle has a close relationship with his mother, Gao Pragmatic is very clear, and it is unlikely that he will pit his own sister, but Gao Pragmatic does not plan to tie the prototype of his business empire so closely with the Zhang family now. This is not because he doesn't trust his uncle's family, but because he is still too weak, and if the two sides are combined, it will inevitably be Zhang Qiang and Gao Xiong - this is not in line with Gao's pragmatic mind, and it is not in line with his original intention of building his own business territory.

If Gao Pragmatism just wants to make money and make a lot of money, then it is undoubtedly a good thing to cooperate with the Zhang family now: the capital itself is already starting to operate, and after meeting Li Guifei today, the soap royal tribute plan is half completed, only the emperor nodded at the end, and the emperor could not not nod - the price offered by Gao Pragmatism is to supply 10,000 pieces of soap to the palace for free every year, and the proportion of specific styles is determined by the palace.

The price of these soaps, of course, is calculated according to the value of one or two pieces of silver per piece that has been thought of before. In Longqing's style, 10,000 taels of silver can be saved directly, why not? Don't be a fool!

In addition, the conditions for Gao Pragmatic's requirements are simple, that is, the emperor allowed Gao Pragmatic to divide this batch of soap into men and women, called "Imperial Tribute, Supreme" and "Imperial Tribute, National Color", and in the future, the soap used in the palace will be exclusively paid by Gao Pragmatic. At the same time, Gao pragmatic guarantees that the best soaps will be used as tribute, and only second-class or more inferior products will be sold, and the words "Yugong Supreme" and "Yugong National Color" will never be used.

How could the emperor, who had all his interests and face, not agree? Besides, this thing itself is an exclusive product, and he is pragmatic and does not supply it, so who am I looking for to get it?

The businessmen of these years are not shrewd, and their business thinking is not meticulous, but after all, they are still in the era of agricultural civilization, and everyone has not realized the importance of the brand, let alone the importance of the "spokesperson".

And Gao pragmatic as a traverser is different, he knows the importance of these two things very clearly, in a "feudal dynasty" like Daming, the most powerful brand is the "emperor", and the most domineering spokesperson is, of course, also the "emperor".

The emperor used it, and the emperor said it was good...... What else do you have to worry about? Hurry up and buy it!

So he is very optimistic about the future of the soap business - or the way of money - as long as this business is done and promoted, I dare not say that it will be worthy of the Zhang family's Lu Salt Farm, but at least it can also move the world, so that the Zhang family does not dare to underestimate it, and it is not too late to talk about the alliance at that time.

Gao pragmatic replied to the letter casually, saying that he had other ideas about this matter, and asked his mother not to worry about it, and then thanked her for recruiting talents for herself, and asked her to pay more attention to her body.

The other letters are specific people who wrote letters to thank the young master of the sixth room for his trust, which are mostly clichés. Since everyone is almost there, Gao Pragmatic is too lazy to reply to the letter.

He originally planned to sleep for a while before going, but after replying to the letter and having lunch, the effect of the cup of strong tea came up, and he couldn't sleep, so after thinking about it, he simply went out early and went to Cheng'en Temple, where Liu Xian temporarily lived in Beijing.

Cheng'en Temple is a very magical temple, and the magic lies in the fact that it has "three nos": no incense, no dojo, and no temple.

The temple door of this temple is closed all the year round, since the temple was built in the fifth year of Zhengde, more than a few decades have passed, and it has never been open to the public, and it is still the same, which makes the temple has been shrouded in a veil of mystery.

It stands to reason that temples generally open their doors and receive incense, because temples also need to have financial resources to maintain daily operations, and at the same time, monks also have to live. But Cheng'en Temple is different, it usually does not open the door, and does not want to worship incense.

In front of the temple, the five characters of "Edict Cheng'en Temple" are the inscription of Emperor Zhu Houzhao of Zhengde. From south to north, it is the mountain gate hall, the heavenly king hall, the Daxiong treasure hall, the Dharma hall and other four halls. On both sides of the main hall, there are dozens of side halls and wing rooms. Strangely, in the courtyard of this temple, there are four stone watchtowers around, 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 eating and drinking, indicating that they have other financial resources. Gao pragmatic carriage stopped not far from the entrance of the temple, and he got out of the carriage and walked on foot, not because he believed in Buddhism and was pious, but because there was a pair of dismounted stones in front of the Cheng'en Temple.

The lower horse stone is generally in the palace, the palace is only available, and the common people have no relationship, there is this thing at the gate of Cheng'en Temple, indicating that it is not an ordinary temple.

That's right, Cheng'en Temple was approved by Emperor Zhengde and built under the supervision of the great eunuch Wen Xiang. Later, after Jiajing succeeded to the throne, because he was a strong emperor who could suppress hundreds of officials without relying on eunuchs, the eunuchs once lost their position seriously, and this Cheng'en Temple was transferred to Lu Bing, the grandmother of Jinyiwei, who was very favored by Jiajing, and became the outer stronghold of Jinyiwei.

But Lu Bingwei, Jinyiwei actually did not lack this small stronghold, which was not very big, so it was later stopped for some years. Later, for the sake of fame, Lu Bing took out some of his other courtyards as temporary residences to entertain officials who came to Beijing, and when he thought of the place of Cheng'en Temple, he also took it out.

It's just that because of the establishment of this place, it is a bunker tower and a school road, and most of the civil officials refuse to come to live.

Gao Pragmatic came ahead of schedule, although Liu Xian was a little surprised, he was still very happy and went out to greet him in person.
