Chapter 9: Dragon's Face

Emperor Hongzhi was a good man, a good husband, and a good emperor, but unfortunately, good people don't live long.

If Li Zhaotong had not appeared as a variable, Emperor Hongzhi would have died in the Qianqing Palace in the eighteenth year of his reign, that is, when he was thirty-six years old.

Why?

Because his father Zhu Jianshen's favorite Wan Guifei was a poisonous woman, so that Emperor Hongzhi had a miserable childhood, and he ate hundreds of meals until he was six years old before he got better.

Therefore, Emperor Hongzhi's health has not been good since he was a child, plus his diligent government has made his health worse, and he pinned his hopes on Buddhism to improve his body, plus Zhu Yuanzhang's household registration system caused the imperial doctor in the palace to be garbage and so on.

Emperor Hongji died in 1505 due to a medical accident.

Li Zhaotong wanted to help Zhu Houzhao so that he would be beaten less or even not beaten, so he could only start by asking Zhu Houzhao to pay tribute to his filial piety.

First let Zhu Houzhao send the mask to his father, and then teach Zhu Houzhao to tell him that his father can make his body better and live longer, that is, exercise properly in the morning and evening.

Zhu Houzhao got the news, acted quickly, and deliberately skipped class and went out of the palace to find Li Zhaotong to come.

Don't believe it works?

Li Zhaotong is a living example here, don't you believe it?

Is there a better one?

Even a liar like Li Guang dares to say that there is a better one? Believe it or not, Lao Tzu slapped you to death, then spit on your corpse, stepped on it, crossed his waist and said: No one knows how to maintain health better than Lao Tzu!

Li Zhaotong told Zhu Houzhao in detail about his thoughts.

Zhu Houzhao's eyes suddenly brightened, patted Li Zhaotong's shoulder, and said with a smile:

"Li Er, this palace really didn't mistake you, come on, keep working hard!"

Li Zhaotong: "......"

"This is a palliative treatment rather than a cure, and it is not worth mentioning. His Royal Highness should study hard and go out of the palace as little as possible, which is the best way to cure the root cause. Li Zhaotong admonished.

Although he also hates to read those science books that imprison people's minds, he must be cautious in his words and deeds, if he also explicitly agrees with the prince not reading, once it spreads, without Emperor Hongzhi to clean him up, Li Dongyang will kill his relatives in righteousness, the kind that the Zhu family can't stop.

Especially Zhu Houzhao, who speaks openly, has no heart or lungs.

"Cure a fart, let's go, let's go see the sales of honeycomb coal."

……

"Old and young masters of the Ming Dynasty, pass by, don't miss it, today you missed it, tomorrow you want to buy this honeycomb coal, you look all over the capital's large and small corridors, all the firewood and charcoal shops, you can't find it, this honeycomb coal is not expensive, buy it is a treasure."

"The price has dropped! The price has been reduced! In order to celebrate the new opening of the store today, honeycomb coal costs two cents a piece, ten cents six dollars, to buy to bring, hurry up, walk by, good opportunities do not miss, opportunities are not every day, you should shoot when you should. ”

"If you're here today, even if you're in a hurry, you're not afraid to buy a honeycomb coal stove if you're in a hurry! New products, new listings, at present, the world's large and small corridors have not been on the goods, today the owner sent me here to do publicity, forty-nine Wen a, forty-nine Wen a, do not earn everyone a penny, if you do not buy it today, you want to buy it again in the future, it is the retail price! ”

……

At the door of the honeycomb coal store, several shopkeepers were shouting enthusiastically according to Li Zhaotong's instructions.

"Interesting!"

When Emperor Hongzhi heard this, he couldn't help but show a smile, such a novel and brainwashing propaganda method really attracted his attention.

In fact, not only Emperor Hongzhi, but almost everyone present was also amused and brainwashed by these shopkeepers, and they all felt that the weather seemed to be a lot warmer today, and the sky was beautiful, and if they didn't buy it, they would suffer a loss.

Then, they began to line up to dig into their pockets.

"Business is booming! Binzhi, it seems that Ling Lang is still very business-minded, you can rest assured. ”

Emperor Hongzhi looked at it for a while, and the honeycomb coal store sold more than a dozen honeycomb coal stoves, as well as more honeycomb coal.

"Hmm."

Li Dongyang also felt that if the current situation continued, he would definitely not lose money, and he was a lot more relieved.

"Let's go, let's go to a wide place and ask the people what they think of honeycomb coal, don't stand here and occupy the road to affect business."

Emperor Hongzhi and several people are all extraordinary people, even if the people don't know their identities, they can't help but stand aside because of their clothes and extraordinary temperament.

Therefore, Emperor Hongzhi and a few people standing here did affect the efficiency of the honeycomb coal store, the weather was cold, and many people were thinly dressed and shivering in the cold wind.

Emperor Hongzhi loved the people like a son, and after seeing this scene, he also realized his mistake, so he proposed to leave.

"Hmm."

……

Blind was lucky, not only did he buy honeycomb coal and honeycomb coal stoves, but when he walked out of the crowd with three-eyed honeycomb coal stoves and honeycomb coals on a flat pole, he also met an emperor again.

Emperor Hongzhi saw that he was happy, so he stepped forward and asked:

"Uncle, what are you doing selling these three-eyed honeycomb coal stoves and so many honeycomb coal?"

"A few gentlemen, the old man is selling leek baked cakes in this Chongbeifang, and he bought this honeycomb coal, not for anything else, just because it is cheap."

Although the blind man couldn't see the faces of the few people in front of him clearly, he was old and sophisticated, and he knew by feeling that the few people in front of him were knowledgeable, so he replied respectfully and truthfully to show respect.

"Cheap?"

Emperor Hongzhi was stunned at first, and then understood!

The people are miserable!

With a meager income, when they buy something, the first consideration is definitely not its function, but its price.

Only after feeling that the price is right for you, will you consider the role of such a thing, and if it is really affordable and useful, you will consider buying it and taking it home.

Honeycomb coal is far cheaper than firewood charcoal, but it has the effect of firewood charcoal, and it is still a necessary thing, so people will naturally buy it.

As for why this honeycomb coal and honeycomb coal stove were the business that the emperor and the elder did together, they didn't pay so much attention to it.

Thinking of this, Emperor Hongzhi's face showed a trace of loss.

Although he is a wise man, he also likes to hear others praise himself as "Your Majesty Shengming"!

Xie Qian's quick thinking and the first time he discovered the loss of Emperor Hongzhi, his brain moved, and he pondered to lead the topic to "Your Majesty Shengming":

"Uncle, do you know that it was His Majesty's idea to make this honeycomb coal?"

"Yes!"

The blind man is still quite capable, and when it comes to what he knows, he is energetic:

"Lao Yu not only knows that this honeycomb coal is His Majesty's idea, but also knows that this honeycomb coal is the business of His Majesty and Li Ge Lao!

Lao Yu only learned about the honeycomb coal when he heard two customers who bought my leek baked cakes arguing about whether this honeycomb coal was competing with the people, and then hurriedly ran over to buy it. ”

"Compete with the people!"

When Hubu Shangshu Zhou Jing heard it, his eyes lit up, and when he saw the hot sale of honeycomb coal, he felt that it was profitable, and he had been planning in his heart how to attribute this Xishan coal industry to the name of the household, and he had an idea:

"Uncle, do you think this honeycomb coal is competing with the people?"

"The fart competes with the people!"

Blind almost jumped up, he knew that the few people in front of him were knowledgeable, and they must be very influential in the imperial court, maybe it was still the imperial history of the imperial court, if they were determined to compete with the people for profit, and go to the court to impeach, and then Your Majesty's honeycomb coal business could not be done, and the honeycomb coal business was taken over by those corrupt officials in the imperial court, or it was simply not allowed to be sold, then the little good life he was looking forward to was going to be gone.

So, the blind man was very excited, and he hurriedly continued:

"A few gentlemen, this honeycomb coal has not competed with the people!

The old man is old, and he has also experienced three dynasties.

During the Tianshun period, although the old man was just born, he also saw the tragic situation of the displaced people everywhere in my Ming Dynasty due to the change of the civil fort, and I still remember it vividly;

During the Chenghua period, although the first emperor was sage, the ministers were mediocre, and there were thousands of concubines who troubled the court, and the life of our people was still not easy;

Now in the year of Hongzhi, Your Majesty is sage, diligent and loves the people, lightly treats the meager endowment, and tries his best to make the life of our people better, and several elders are also very virtuous, and strive to assist Your Majesty, which is why there is such an auspicious birth of honeycomb coal, so that the life of our people will be better!

After the birth of this auspicious rui, His Majesty Shengming did not offer it up, but cooperated with Li Ge Lao for the first time to promote the world at a very low price, how can this be said to be competing with the people for profit? ! It is clear that His Majesty and Elder Li Ge want to benefit the world! ”

Blind said, and cried sadly, he was really afraid that this honeycomb coal would be confiscated by the dog official.

He cried, and Emperor Hongzhi didn't comfort him, but it was Emperor Hongzhi, and he glanced at Zhou Jing a little proudly, and then laughed and said:

"Uncle, what you said is right, benefit the world, benefit the world!"

Obviously, Emperor Hongzhi at this time was very happy, and even the haze caused by Zhu Houzhao dissipated.

ps: I don't ask for tickets when I write a book, such as a night trip in brocade, ask for recommended tickets, and let me also have a big smile (slanted smile)!
