073 The princess calls for help
The next day, when Cai Jing returned home from the court, he heard Cai Xiu say that only half of the people who had come to Tongzhen Palace to help came.
The others, on the way to Tongzhen Palace yesterday, were all scared away by Zong Shu.
Cai Jing is so angry, why is he again!
This is against the Cai family everywhere, what is the benefit of doing this to Zong Shu?
Except for Cai Xiu's usual small conflicts with Zong Shu, there is no contradiction between the Cai family and the Zong family.
Especially Zongyi is just a businessman, what is the status of the Cai family, as for the conflict with a merchant family?
Zong Shu must have done this, it must have been instructed by the crown prince Zhao Huan.
"Jingshi is so big, it's not easy to find people?" Cai Jing is very angry, can't you handle this little thing? As long as you give money, who can't find it?
Seeing Cai Xiu go, Cai Jing felt that he had also taken classes with the children of the Zong family, why was he not as good as others?
"Tonight, make sure to make the birthday banquet lively. Don't lose the face of my Cai family. Cai Jing said to Cai You.
……
Lin Lingsu is gone, Niu Gao is also ready to stop, and take twenty-eight people to the Mi County base early tomorrow morning.
At the beginning of dinner, Zongyi, Zong Shu, Niu Gao, and Steward Qiao all sat down to eat together.
Because of Zong Shu's request, everyone, regardless of their status, gathered at a table, so that they could communicate.
Zong Yi faintly felt that something was wrong, but Zong Shu was now a protégé of the Son of Heaven and a friend of the prince, and had created a new source of wealth for the Zong family, so whatever he said was what he said.
Zongyi took Cao Zongshen together to register the displaced people gathered in the capital, first of all, to meet the needs of coal development in Mi County.
In addition to the displaced people, Zong Yi recruited some blacksmiths and other miners to go to Mi County together according to Zong Shu's request.
Zongyi picked some homeless people and placed them under Master Kong and Lao Feng.
Master Kong is no longer a chef in Zong's Restaurant, but has become a shopkeeper, specializing in the production of monosodium glutamate.
Dozens of displaced people were added at once, and the output of monosodium glutamate increased greatly.
MSG is divided into two types of packaging, one is a luxury version, two taels of silver, and the other is a mass package, which is one or two silver.
After Zongshu was promoted in the palace banquet, MSG became popular.
In the restaurants in the capital, if MSG is not released, the business will decline significantly.
Beijing people at home to entertain, if you don't put MSG, it is disrespectful to the guests.
MSG has also become the most popular and fashionable gift in the market in addition to silver, calligraphy and painting.
As a result, the Zongjia's MSG was sold out of stock.
Every day, Zongyi is full of joy in the face of the uproar of the entry, and it is like a dream.
Not to mention MSG, the income brought by the manufacturing of the warm pavilion is even more considerable.
The large and small porcelain workshops around the capital have been acquired and merged by Zongyi, and nearly 100 displaced people have been recruited, and Zong's porcelain has become the largest porcelain manufacturer in the city, and it is also the pillar industry with the best prospects for the Zong family.
The reason why there are many people is because many of them are installation workers, who are responsible for installing warm pavilions in various homes.
According to Zong Shu, Warm Pavilion is not a one-shot deal. The Warm Pavilion has a one-year warranty.
Once the warranty period expires, the pipe is broken, and the sealant falls off, in addition to the material fee, the maintenance fee and the door-to-door service fee must be charged.
The cost is still based on the principle of echelon pricing.
It is completely predictable that with the warm pavilion alone, the future income will also be endless.
No wonder Zong Shu said at the time that he thought about Zong's Restaurant every day, and it was really useless. Now that I see it, this bastard has a point.
Compared with MSG and Nuan Ge, Zong's Restaurant's profit is really nothing.
However, Zong Shu is a good hand at earning silver, and it is not ambiguous to spend money.
For the sake of Mixian Coal, what else is there for the truth-seeking research institute, hundreds of thousands of taels of silver just went out!
Also, recruiting so many displaced people, and the salary is twice the market price, this is simply not treating silver as money.
If it was before, Zong Yi would have scolded Zong Shu for being a loser, but now, he doesn't even have the confidence to stare at him.
The three of them were chatting, and there was a quarrel at the gate of the courtyard, and a crisp voice was very anxious: "Let me in, I want to find Zong Shu." ”
It's the voice of beads!
Zong Shu hurriedly ran over, only to see Zhuzhu wearing a eunuch suit, looking very hurried.
"What's wrong, Zhuzhu, what's wrong?"
Zhuzhu's little face was red from the cold, her lips were purple, and she said, "Save people, go to Tongzhen Palace to save people!"
Ah, go to Tongzhen Palace to save people? Something happened to Tongzhen Palace?
Great, Cai Jing, traitor, this time it's over.
"Zhuzhu, come, come and sit in the house, and see what you have frozen?" Zong Shu looked distressed.
Zhuzhu gritted her teeth, rushed over and grabbed Zong Shu's hand!
Zong Shu was petrified in an instant, Zhu Zhu's hand was cold and cold, but it made his heart hot.
Zong Shu hurriedly held Zhuzhu's little hand, picked it up and put it on his face to warm it.
This is Zong Shu looking at the pearls so closely, he really deserves to be the daughter of Queen Liu and the pearl of Song Huizong, and now he is not yet eighteen years old, he looks so good-looking, and he will have it in a few years?
Zhuzhu's hand touched Zong Shu's face, startled, and hurriedly withdrew his hand.
Zong Shu hurriedly let go, coughing, he was a little forgetful just now.
Looking at his hands, Zong Shu decided not to wash his face or wash his hands for the next few days.
"Zong Shu, follow me, hurry up and save people." Zhuzhu almost cried.
Zhuzhu's heart is too kind, she has been living in the palace, and she is spoiled by the emperor, the queen and the prince's brother, and she doesn't know that the court is very complicated and people's hearts are very sinister.
"Now, it's too late, who made Cai You not listen to me at that time, now that I'm sinking to the underworld, I haven't recruited it."
Zong Shu sighed on the surface, but he was actually happy in his heart.
"Zong Shu, it's not the Cai family, it's the father and the queen mother, who went to Tongzhen Palace. I can't persuade you. Zhuzhu stretched out her hand and pulled Zong Shu out.
Ah, Huizong and Empress Liu also went to Tongzhen Palace?
This emperor and empress are really worried, Cai Jing is giving his mother a birthday, what are you going to do?
It is estimated that the emperor and empress went to the birthday banquet to reflect the importance that the Son of Heaven attaches to his subordinates.
It seems that Huizong disagreed with his judgment that Tongzhen Palace was about to sink into the underworld.
"What about His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, has he gone?" Zong Shu was also a little anxious.
The crown prince Zhao Huan's ability is almost good, but his ability can be cultivated, not to mention, he is still Zhuzhu's own brother.
"The crown prince is grounded, and he doesn't believe that Tongzhen Palace will sink to the ground." Zhu Zhu was in a hurry.
It turned out that the crown prince did not trust his own judgment either.
So many people don't believe it, but Zhuzhu just believes that Tongzhen Palace will definitely sink to the ground.
Zong Shu couldn't help but be moved.
The prince didn't go, so it's not a big problem. If it weren't for Zhuzhu, Zong Shu really didn't want to care about it.
If Huizong and Cai Jing disappear together, the crown prince Zhao Huan will naturally succeed to the throne, what will be the direction of the Great Song Dynasty?
But the current situation is that Tongzhen Palace has not yet collapsed, will it collapse? Will history move forward according to its original trajectory?
Zhuzhu almost cried and pulled Zong Shu out.
Zhuzhu believes in herself, is superstitious! This kind of trust gave Zong Shu a kind of pride.
Expecting natural disasters to wipe out the foolish emperor and the traitors in troubled times is not the mentality of a strong man!
A truly strong man should face a powerful enemy and defeat him by fair and honest means!
Otherwise, it will always be the mentality of a weak country and a small people, and it will always be a situation of being passively beaten!
"Niu Gao, take your people, pick up weapons, pick up the guys, and go to Tongzhen Palace."
