East Palace.

"Mother, try this sashimi, which is cut out of the belly of the finest bluefin tuna and dipped in soy sauce, which is a delicacy in the world."

"Father, try this skin shrimp, this skin shrimp is the favorite seafood of the son, it is very delicious."

"Father, try this grilled fish again, I promise you have never eaten a better grilled fish."

"Queen Mother, you try this sauce fried cuttlefish larvae, it is very tender and delicious, and crispy and springy, but when you eat it, be careful that the black cuttlefish juice bursts out, and the cuttlefish juice can be eaten."

……

A dinner, Emperor Hongzhi and Empress Zhang were quite happy, the two of them had not eaten so much at one time for a long time.

But this time, the seafood feast was an eye-opener for both of them, and the seafood was so delicious that the couple was reluctant to put down their chopsticks.

It wasn't until the two of them couldn't eat anymore that the dinner was over.

"Okay, the seafood is also finished, prince, tell me, why don't you go and say hello to your queen mother."

Emperor Hongzhi held a cup of hot tea, blew air, and asked Zhu Houzhao.

"Erchen is preparing a surprise for the queen mother, but unfortunately, Xiao Jing, the dog thief, is to blame, just because Erchen didn't let the people in the East Palace teach his people to cook seafood, he sued, so that this gift was made into a semi-finished product."

After speaking, Zhu Houzhao took out the delicate box inlaid with glass mirrors inside, and then handed it to Queen Zhang.

Receiving Zhu Houzhao's gift, Empress Zhang was a little moved, and she had to put it away with great importance.

"Queen Mother, why don't you open it and take a look."

Zhu Houzhao said with an expectant look, he wanted to see Empress Zhang's surprised expression.

"Open?"

Empress Zhang glanced at Zhu Houzhao, who was full of expectations, and Emperor Hongzhi, who was also a little interested and envious, and did not hesitate, so she followed the wish of the father and son and opened the box.

"Ahh

The moment she opened the ground, Empress Zhang screamed.

"Rebel, what the hell are you doing pranks?"

Seeing Empress Zhang's frightened expression, Emperor Hongzhi's face to Zhu Houzhao was very unsightly.

"Your Majesty, don't blame Zhao'er, it's a concubine...... It was the concubine who was too excited. This gift, the concubine likes it very much, and Zhao'er has a heart! ”

"Humph!"

Hearing Empress Zhang speak for herself, Zhu Houzhao became arrogant, his nostrils were facing the sky, and he looked very proud.

Emperor Hongzhi ignored Zhu Houzhao's arrogance, and he asked Empress Zhang curiously:

"Queen, what kind of gift did this rebel give you, worthy of your love so much?!"

"Your Majesty wants to know, why don't you let Zhao'er send one to you, Your Majesty will know it, as for the concubine, it belongs to the concubine, and the concubine is worried that Your Majesty will take the love of the concubine if she sees it."

Empress Zhang refused to show it to Emperor Hongzhi.

"This ......"

Seeing that Empress Zhang was so stingy, Emperor Hongzhi's curiosity suddenly came up, he looked at Zhu Houzhao and asked:

"Anything else?"

"At present, there is only this one, and I will only give it to the queen mother who loves me the most." Zhu Houzhao is still very arrogant.

Emperor Hongji: "......"

To be honest, Emperor Hongzhi felt a little pantothenic acid in his heart, because he was the first person in the world, but Zhu Houzhao didn't give it to him first, so he was jealous.

"I ordered you to make a better one and send it to me in two days."

Zhu Houzhao: "......"

……

The next day, the glaze factory.

"Your Highness, Your Majesty also wants a glass mirror?"

After listening to Zhu Houzhao's complaints, Li Zhaotong was a little surprised and uncertain.

"What are you laughing at? Because the dog emperor didn't get the mirror first, he was sour, where he was scheming, snatching the property of the palace, you are still laughing, are you a friend of the palace?! ”

Zhu Houzhao was very unhappy, and when he saw the corners of Li Zhaotong's mouth slightly upturned, he was even more unhappy.

"Your Highness, of course you and I are good friends! The minister was pleasantly surprised, naturally because His Majesty wanted a glass mirror, which was a great thing! ”

"A good thing?!" Zhu Houzhao reached out and touched Li Zhaotong's forehead, "I don't have a fever, why did you start talking nonsense." ”

"Your Highness, don't make a mistake, the major shareholder of this glaze factory is Your Majesty, Your Highness, you don't have a little stake here, you are just the general distributor of the glaze factory, Your Majesty wants glass, for Your Highness, what is the loss?"

"That's right."

Zhu Houzhao patted his head and reacted,

"It's you, a small shareholder, who is losing, and it looks like your brain is really burned out."

"There is no homeopathy, the glass factory produces glass, and it needs to be sold in order to make a profit! The glass mirror is good, but someone has to know! Our price is so high, there must be very few people who can afford it, so we need to let more people know that Your Majesty wants a glass mirror, this is a big advertisement! ”

"Advertising?"

Zhu Houzhao doesn't understand,

"What is an advertisement?"

Li Zhaotong replied: "Advertising means advertising. Your Royal Highness, if Your Majesty, the emperor, also likes glass mirrors, as the saying goes: If something is good at the top, it will be very bad at the bottom! Will those flattering ministers and magnates like it more?

If these ministers and magnates like it, will those rich merchants and gentry also like it?

In this way, is this glass mirror still sold? Your Royal Highness, you, the general distributor, are equivalent to picking up the best advertising spokesperson for nothing! Your Highness, you still dislike it, it's really, a tyrannical thing! ”

"! That's true! ”

Zhu Houzhao's comprehension ability is very strong, he understood what Li Zhaotong said at once, and he can even draw inferences from one another, and in an instant, he has a wonderful idea in his mind.

"It's good that my father likes glass mirrors, that's great! Li Er, is the glass mirror ready? ”

Li Zhaotong replied speechlessly: "Your Highness, are you blind?" Isn't the red cloth in front of you a glass mirror? ”

"I don't care so much about you, this palace will take this glass mirror away first!"

……

Forbidden City, Fengtian Temple.

"Your Majesty, the minister impeached Yang Shousui, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, and Yang Shousui had no way to manage it, causing the four factories of the Ministry of Industry to continue to lose money, and wasted money and grain on the treasury."

It has been almost a month since the glaze factory was taken over by the inner carrier, and this month's time, although there is no movement in the glaze factory, the glaze factory no longer needs the external carrier warehouse to fill the vacancy, but the Shenmu factory, the black kiln factory, the Taiji factory, and the carrot factory still need the external carrier warehouse to fill the vacancy, which makes the household department Shangshu Zhoujing very dissatisfied.

At the beginning, Zhou Jing was clamoring for the equity of the No. 5 Factory of the Ministry of Industry, but he just wanted the equity, and he knew very well that only Li Zhaotong could save the No. 5 Factory of the Ministry of Industry, and if Li Zhaotong could not be saved, then he would not be saved.

However, as long as Emperor Hongzhi left the Liuli Factory, the other four factories remained in the Ministry of Industry, and the Ministry of Industry did not have the ability to bring these four factories back to life, so that the four factories had to reach out to the Ministry of Household to ask for money.

Of course, Zhou Jing was dissatisfied with Yang Shousui, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry.

Therefore, Zhou Jing fired at Yang Shousui.

"Zhou Shangshu, before you impeach me again, think about who most fiercely opposed the management of the five factories of the Ministry of Industry to the internal carrier warehouse, and then His Majesty had no choice but to take the Liuli Factory under the management of the internal carrier warehouse, and the other four factories continued to be managed by the Ministry of Industry, the main reason for the loss, isn't you?"

"Yang Shangshu, obviously you have no way to manage, causing the Shenmu Factory, the Black Kiln Factory, the Taiji Factory, and the Carrot Factory to continue to lose money, how can you rely on me?"

"Zhou Shangshu, don't you still rely on me, you have the ability to bring this Shenmu Factory, Black Kiln Factory, Taiji Factory, and Carrot Factory back to life!"

"Yang Shangshu, this official doesn't have this ability, but there is a person who has this ability, you obviously don't have the ability to occupy the pit and not, resulting in continuous losses in Shenmu Factory, Black Kiln Factory, Taiji Factory, and Carrot Factory."

"Oh, Zhou Shangshu, this official knows who you are talking about, but the glaze factory has not improved, and the glaze factory is still losing His Majesty's money."

"Alright, stop arguing!" Hearing Yang Shousui say that Liulichang was still losing money, Emperor Hongzhi, who was already a little irritated by the quarrel between the two of them, was even more annoyed now.

"We'll talk about this later!"

"Your Majesty, if the Liuli Factory can come back to life, the minister implores Your Majesty to remove Yang Shou from the post of secretary of the Ministry of Works."

"Zhou Jing, you don't need to implore Your Majesty, if the Liuli Factory can come back to life, this official will voluntarily resign!"

"Okay, that's what you say......"

Before Zhou Jing finished speaking, at this time, a little eunuch ran in outside the Fengtian Palace, this person looked extremely flustered, after he ran in, he immediately knelt on the ground, and then shouted tremblingly:

"Your Majesty, it's not good, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said that he would build a stage in front of the Fengtian Palace!"
