Zhang Mingwei gave out all kinds of glassware for experiments.

This may be the benefit of crossing!

If it is a natural development, it is definitely a situation encountered, what kind of things are to be used, and then I will think about the design, and then find a glass factory to order. If you think it's really easy to use, you will promote it!

This process, from the beginning of the encounter to the popularization of an experimental glassware, can be a long process.

However, in today's Ming Dynasty, this situation will be in place in one step, so that more people can directly know what situation to use, and glassware is ready-made.

Zhu Cihong saw these sketches and saw that there were underlines, which was very strange, so he asked about the situation.

Zhu Yujiao came over at this time and explained to him in detail.

Zhang Mingwei's main purpose in coming to Jingdezhen Glass Factory was actually for these utensils. Because after returning to Beijing this time, there is a high probability that physical chemistry will be officially unveiled.

Therefore, he ended up staying here for only two days, mainly inspecting the situation in the glass factory, and then left by boat, continued along the Yangtze River to the east, and then to Yangzhou, and returned to Beijing via the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal.

The crown prince Zhu Cihong also wanted to respond to Tianfu, so he went with Zhang Mingwei. Along the way, the two also talked a lot.

From his side, Zhang Mingwei already knew that the promotion of the salt drying method made those big salt merchants dare not hoard salt and sell it at a high price. Overall, the price of salt has been reduced by half. And judging by the trend, there should be room for decline.

According to some private news, the former smugglers have now changed their careers. Because the risk of selling illicit salt is too high, the profits they make have dropped so much that it is no longer enough for them to continue to risk selling illicit salt.

In this regard, Zhang Mingwei decided to meet Zhang Huangyan after arriving in Yangzhou and listen to his thoughts and opinions.

But what he didn't expect was that when he arrived in Yangzhou, some of the top brands of Yangzhou Fengyue Building were jointly invited. said that he was going to open a special show for a new song, hoping that Xingguo Gong could support it!

The one who conveyed it on his behalf was Zhang Huangyan, a young man!

A little surprised to see Xingguo Gong, Zhang Huangyan carefully peeked at Princess Kunxing on the side first? Then he hurriedly explained: "Here in Yangzhou? Those top brands have privately pooled their own money and hired people? Looking for a venue too? Then he applied to the head office of "Ming Pao" for the qualification to run a branch. At the time of the unveiling, they decided to perform a new song that had been published in Ming Pao to attract popularity. I just knew that Guogong was going to pass through Yangzhou? That's why I want to be reluctant! ”

The matter of "Ming Pao" opening a branch in the south was actually explained to Chen Yuanyuan from the very beginning. Later, Zhang Mingwei and Zhu Yujiao were busy with the war? For this thing? Naturally, I forgot about it.

Hearing it at this time, Zhang Mingwei remembered it.

Seriously, when Chen Yuanyuan was made the editor-in-chief of "Ming Pao", he actually had the help of her connections to become famous? For the sake of the rapid promotion of "Ming Pao" in Jiangnan.

Because Ming Pao is first and foremost a newspaper? You have to be literate to see it.

Although the literacy rate in Jiangnan is relatively high, ordinary people, even if they know a few words, will not spend this money to buy newspapers. Besides? Ordinary people, how can the people of Beijing care so much about politics.

Therefore? Generally speaking, "Ming Pao" must have been the first to spread among readers. Welcomed by them? It is possible to be more widely popular.

In this era, Yangzhou is the fashion capital of the Ming Dynasty. And the fashion of Yangzhou? Leading the way? It's really no one else? It's the wind and moon field.

These Fengyue fields, they are all very high-end. Generally speaking, literati and writers must be rich and talented to go. This is especially true for the top hands. The famous talents of this era have all intersected with Fengyuechang. Even the exchange of talents, that is also a poetry tea party held in Fengyue Field and the like.

If Yangzhou's top brand can devote itself to the promotion of "Ming Pao", such as holding a discussion on a topic in "Ming Pao". Those who want to win the hearts of beauties will definitely read "Ming Pao" carefully and gain some insights from it. In this way, "Ming Pao" can be popularized more quickly among readers.

In fact, Zhang Mingwei is not actually treated well by readers.

Although he is the Duke of Xingguo, his current power is monstrous. However, if you want to talk about angry youth, you may not be convinced by Zhang Mingwei, it will not be the officials in the court, but those young people who are still studying.

Zhang Mingwei was actually not friendly to the gentry class, including the Qingzhang land in Kaifeng, Huguang, and Shu that he advocated, the inventory of hidden households, and the establishment of the Tuntian Army. In fact, to a large extent, it is to move the interests of the gentry.

However, his power is so powerful that he can't resist directly. However, Zhang Mingwei's reputation in their class is unlikely to be good.

And those who can read are basically from this gentry class.

Are there any enlightened people?

Absolutely!

For example, Fang Yizhi, Huang Zongxi and others are!

However, most of the scholars are actually ordinary people, and their own interests may be damaged, so of course they will not have a good impression of Zhang Mingwei.

Of course, a large part of them don't know Zhang Mingwei.

In this era, information is far less developed than in later generations. The spread of news is more about word of mouth. Someone deliberately distorts it, and Zhang Mingwei's image can be blackened.

In fact, even in later generations, the spread of this news is very important.

The most obvious example is the presidential election in the United States, why did it cost so much money?

It is because even if the information is so developed in later generations, if the people of the whole country can understand the ideas and ideas of the presidential candidate, it must be vigorously promoted.

In the era of the Ming Dynasty, it is even more so, it is not an empty word, public opinion is already in the hands.

Now because of Chen Yuanyuan's background, Yangzhou's top brand has an example.

If you raise money privately, you may be able to take refuge under the command of Xingguo Gong, and you will still have an income one day in the future. And as long as Xingguo Gong does not fall, there is no need to worry about the Yangzhou branch of "Ming Pao" being swallowed up by Haoqiang, or in other words, there is no need to worry about those mothers getting involved, so they will connect in tandem in private, and there is this matter.

Although Zhang Mingwei didn't know the details, he could guess it when he thought about it.

When he was thinking about it, Zhang Huangyan saw that he didn't speak, and he was a little panicked in his heart.

Originally, when I mentioned this to Xingguo Gong, I also considered that "Ming Pao" was actually the industry of Xingguo Gong and had something to do with Xingguo Gong, so I had the courage to say it.

However, the dignified Xingguo Gong, accompanied by Princess Kunxing, how can it be related to the Fengyue characters in Yangzhou?

As long as the identity is there, there must be scruples!

Even if it's an invitation from the top brand, so what? In the eyes of Xingguo Gong, it must be nothing!

As for being able to make money for Xingguogong?

That's even more of a joke!

If you want to be careful that you don't have money, how many treasure plates will you donate?

As for the little money that the Yangzhou branch of "Ming Pao" may make, Xingguo Gong probably has no interest in even taking a look!

Thinking like this, the more Zhang Huangyan thought about it, the more he regretted mentioning it, and hurriedly said to Zhang Mingwei: "It's the lower official Meng Lang, such a non-dividing invitation should not have been mentioned to the Guogong!" ”

Zhu Yujiao, who was on the side, kept a smiling face all the time, and didn't speak, just looked at the two of them.

When Zhang Mingwei heard Zhang Huangyan's words, he came back to his senses, and immediately smiled and said, "You go and tell them, I will go tomorrow." ”

"Okay, the lower officials will ......be trained when they turn around" Zhang Huangyan thought that Xingguo Gong would definitely not go, so he subconsciously replied, and suddenly, he came back to his senses, and suddenly said a little dumbfounded, "What does Guogong mean...... Is it going? ”

"Go!" Zhang Mingwei nodded when he heard this, and said, "Since they have found your relationship regardless of the identity gap, there must be some difficulty." Otherwise, I'm sure they wouldn't have done it again! In that case, I'm going to see what their difficulties are! ”

Speaking of which, in fact, Zhang Mingwei himself is not as rich as outsiders think, and it can even be said that he himself does not have much money!

Moreover, at this time, his mind is not in this regard. And the expansion of "Ming Pao" is actually very expensive. Therefore, in the early stage, the opening of the "Ming Pao" branch is to give a model to various places, such as Yangzhou. Then the branch in Yangzhou will print and sell, and the income will be commissioned. This model is the most worry-free expansion model.

He had been fighting in the south and the north before, but now that he was passing through Yangzhou and the Yangzhou branch was about to open, he naturally wanted to go to see the situation.

Zhang Huangyan listened to his words, but still hesitated a little, so he reminded Zhang Mingwei: "Guogong, this is ...... Won't there be a ...... Damage to your reputation? ”

He almost didn't say that the princess was still around!

When Zhang Mingwei heard this, he immediately smiled, and without looking at Zhu Yujiao, he said to Zhang Huangyan: "Do I need to care about reputation?" As long as you do things uprightly, don't worry about others to say it! ”

As soon as she heard this, Zhu Yujiao on the side smiled, and her eyes became crescent moons. Obviously, she appreciated this phrase.

And Zhang Huangyan listened, and after being stunned for a while, he showed a look of shame on his face, and he didn't say anything more, and the matter was settled.

Zhang Mingwei naturally asked him about the salt politics, there was an army watching the field, and the prince who was close to Yingtianfu supported him, and there was basically no big trouble.

So, after talking for a long time, when it was already evening, Zhang Huangyan said goodbye.

When it was the next day, Zhang Mingwei saw that the hour was almost up, and he was ready to set off to listen to his special concert. Because those tunes are basically written by him.

Before leaving, he found that Zhu Yujiao didn't follow, so he said with a smile: "Let's go, let's go and have a look." ”
