Chapter 145, the emperor's eyes are red

"Oh, yes?"

Hearing Empress Zhang's words, Emperor Hongzhi immediately became interested, he has been working hard for a long time, myopia is actually quite serious, when looking at people, many times can only see a vague outline, when reviewing the chapter, you have to stick it very close to be able to see clearly.

Last year, getting a magnifying glass was like a treasure, because with a magnifying glass, he was much more relaxed when he played sparsely, and now when he heard that there was this myopic eye that could make people see more clearly, he also hurriedly took it.

He looked at the eyes carefully, the lenses were made of glass, the same material as the telescopes and magnifying glasses he had seen, but this time the lenses were not convex lenses, this time they were concave.

The glasses frame is made of gold, a bit of gold wire glasses, the workmanship is very fine, and there is even a cloud dragon pattern engraved on it, which is lifelike.

Emperor Hongzhi gently put on his glasses, and suddenly couldn't help but widen his glasses.

"This~"

At this moment, he felt that the world in front of him seemed to become extremely clear all of a sudden, and the original hazy and vague feeling disappeared at once, and everything could be seen clearly.

He couldn't help but take off his glasses and look at everything in front of him, everything became blurry again, the Empress Zhang in front of him, as well as the palace eunuchs, etc., were blurred one by one, and he could only look at a rough idea, and when he looked at the crystal chandelier, candles and other shiny things, it was even more blurry, and even his eyes were faintly tingling, and tears poured out unconsciously.

When I put on my eyes again, the whole world became clear again, my eyes were more relaxed, there was no fatigue, and when I looked at the light source, my eyes were more comfortable, and there was no stinging feeling.

"Yan'er, you also have gray hair on your head."

Emperor Hongzhi looked at Empress Zhang, couldn't help touching her green silk, saw a trace of white hair in it, and said very distressedly.

"Your Majesty, there are still people."

Empress Zhang's face flushed, her head lowered, and her whole person was sweet, and then she looked at Emperor Hongzhi and said: "Your Majesty, you should pay more attention to the dragon body, this state affair is important, and Your Majesty's dragon body is even more important." ”

"Yan'er only has a few gray hairs, but Your Majesty, you are much older."

"Haha, everyone has a time when they are old, and I am no exception, fortunately, the prince has grown up and knows how to honor his parents, I like these glasses very much, and I will definitely reward the prince when I look back."

Emperor Hongzhi smiled happily, then came to a full-length mirror with glasses, looked at it carefully, and asked, "Yan'er, do you think it's good for me to wear glasses like this?" ”

"Okay, of course good, Your Majesty wears glasses, and the whole person looks more wise and powerful, and his bearing is extraordinary."

Empress Zhang naturally praised again and again.

"Haha, I'll wear it every day since then."

"I'm a little unaccustomed to it now, but I see things very clearly and my eyes are much easier, which is really a good thing."

When Emperor Hongzhi heard this, he was immediately even happier, and he was also stinky and beautiful in the mirror.

"Queen Mother, Queen Mother~"

Just when Emperor Hongzhi was facing the stinky beauty in the mirror, Zhu Houzhao walked in with great interest, and before the person arrived, the voice had already come in, and it could be heard from his voice that his mood was quite good.

Zhu Houzhao almost bounced all the way back to the palace, he came to report his brilliant achievements to his mother, but when he entered the Qianning Palace and saw Emperor Hongzhi, he immediately changed his appearance, pretending to be very stable.

"I've seen my father and the emperor, and I've seen my mother!"

Zhu Houzhao also looked at Emperor Hongzhi with small eyes while saluting, and saw that Emperor Hongzhi was wearing the glasses he had given, with a smile on the corner of his mouth, and he seemed to be in a pretty good mood.

"The prince is here~"

Emperor Hongzhi looked at Zhu Houzhao, and then remembered that Yang Tinghe seemed to have reported to him today, and the prince often said that he was sick and did not attend class recently, and he immediately said with a straight face: "Prince, why don't you always go to class recently, don't tell me that you are not feeling well." ”

For the prince's teachings, Emperor Hongzhi is still very concerned, there is no way, just a son, sooner or later the Ming Dynasty will be passed to his hands, this education naturally cannot be left behind.

But Zhu Houzhao is a master who jumps out, he always has various ways to skip class, today his stomach is uncomfortable, tomorrow he has a headache, and the day after tomorrow he has a sore foot.

Originally, at this time, if Emperor Hongzhi could be strict, this Zhu Houzhao would still be honest, but Emperor Hongzhi was a son, and he couldn't love him, so he was reluctant to punish him too harshly, so naturally he had nothing to do, forming his willful character.

But fortunately, although Zhu Houzhao is more willful, out-of-the-box and absurd, his heart is still as kind as Emperor Hongzhi, and his character is not bad.

"During this time, I was busy with the glass factory, especially in the last few days, I was busy with today's opening, so I asked my husband for leave."

When Zhu Houzhao heard this, he immediately drooped his ears and said weakly.

"Leave?"

When Emperor Hongzhi heard this, his beard immediately rose in anger, and this is directly skipping class and asking for leave?

Emperor Hongzhi couldn't help but shake his head, then thought about it and said: "Your glass factory is finally willing to open, and the mirrors in the capital have been speculated to sky-high prices during this time, let's say, how much silver did you and Liu Jin's shop make today?" ”

Although he was busy during this time, he also knew the popular mirror style in the capital, and knew that Zhu Houzhao should have earned a lot of silver now, but he still didn't know the specific number, so he asked directly.

"No... Not much, that is, to earn some pocket money. ”

When Zhu Houzhao heard this, he immediately looked at Emperor Hongzhi with small eyes, and said very modestly as if he was afraid that others would worry about his treasures.

"A little pocket money?"

Emperor Hongzhi looked at Zhu Houzhao's appearance, and then said to Liu Jin behind Zhu Houzhao: "You follow the prince, you should know everything clearly, let's say, how much silver did the prince's shop sell today?" ”

As soon as Liu Jin saw Emperor Hongzhi looking at him, he immediately quickly knelt down and replied very respectfully: "Back to Your Majesty's words, the turnover of Gujin Building today is 978,560 taels of silver. ”

"What?"

When Emperor Hongzhi heard this, he was immediately dumbfounded, his face was full of disbelief, and then he came to Liu Jin's side and asked again: "You talk about it again, say it slowly." ”

"Back to Your Majesty's words, the turnover of Gujin Building today is 978,560 taels of silver."

Liu Jin lowered his head deeper, word by word, and replied very clearly.

"Nine hundred and seventy-eight thousand five hundred and sixty taels of silver?"

When Emperor Hongzhi heard this, his eyes widened and he asked repeatedly.

"Yes, Your Majesty, not a single cent is wrong, the ancient and modern buildings have been counted again and again when they are closed, and it is indeed nine hundred and seventy-eight thousand five hundred and sixty taels of silver."

Liu Jin said respectfully again.

"You~"

Zhu Houzhao on the side couldn't help touching his forehead, eager to kick Liu Jin to death now, he didn't know how to say less at this time, and he didn't see that Emperor Hongzhi's eyes were already red.

"One million taels of silver a day!"

"This..."

Emperor Hongzhi still couldn't believe this number, and so did Empress Zhang on the side, the turnover of this day was nearly one million taels of silver, and no one believed it.

"Prince, how did you do that?"

Emperor Hongzhi looked at the crown prince and asked very seriously.

"In fact, this is all the credit of Liu Jin, and it is the sales strategy he came up with, and I don't know much about it."

"However, father, don't you know, there are so many rich people in our capital, and when they come to buy things in the ancient and modern buildings, they buy thousands of taels of silver without even blinking an eye."

"Just the Zhang Yushi who calls your father every day to be diligent and thrifty, his wife has appeared in the ancient and modern building today and consumed more than 20,000 taels of silver."

"And that Zhou Papi, don't look at him as poor and sour, his family can also be rich, and their family directly purchased more than 10,000 taels of silver today."

When Zhu Houzhao heard this, he immediately came to his senses and began to talk endlessly.

"I know now, the ministers in this court, every family is very rich, and their lives are very luxurious, but they just stare at my father every day, shouting every day that my father should be diligent and thrifty, and let my father shrink his clothes and diet every day, and set an example for the people of the world, what about them?"

"If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes today, I would have thought that they were all liars as they said and behaved."

Hearing Zhu Houzhao's words, Emperor Hongzhi was also slightly stunned, but he didn't expect Zhu Houzhao to pull this matter to the ministers of the court.

"Actually, there's nothing wrong with being thrifty."

Emperor Hongzhi thought about it and said, he is benevolent, in fact, he also knows more or less about the extravagant life of these ministers in the court, but he has never paid much attention to these.

"I don't know if it's okay, anyway, now that I have money, it's also the money I earned by my own ability, I can use it as I want, father, mother, I'll give you 100,000 taels of silver."

Zhu Houzhao disdains thrift, he is now looking at Liu Jin, firmly remembering Liu Jin's words, money is earned by finding a way, not by saving.

"The prince has a heart."

Queen Zhang is naturally full of smiles, this son knows how to be filial to people, and when he grows up, she is naturally the happiest.

"Just 100,000 taels?"

Emperor Hongzhi looked at Zhu Houzhao, with a meaning that he would not let go if he didn't squeeze you dry, he was indeed poor now, and he needed to be poor to do big things.

"200,000 taels, is there more, the premise of this glass factory is very expensive, the cost is also very high, in fact, the profit is not much, and there are still a lot of places to use money in the future, no matter how much I will be poor to ask for food."

Zhu Houzhao suddenly became anxious and began to pretend to be poor.
