Chapter 157: Ripping Bamboo Sticks
The days go by day by day, as time goes by, the day of the New Year is getting closer and closer, Zhu Houzhao has more and more nothing to do, the sales of the stove are still very large, and the supply exceeds demand, but these people are taking care of it, and there is no need for Zhu Houzhao to worry about it, the only thing that makes Zhu Houzhao feel is that the silver enters Zhu Houzhao's pocket like water.
However, there are not many businessmen who come to talk about cooperation, because there is nothing to cooperate with in the stove, and people will build it themselves when they go back.
Everyone in the capital still recognizes Qiwei Zhai, but when they go out of the capital, they are afraid that they have not even heard of the name of Qiwei Zhai, and they can still build a treasure pavilion.
Zhu Houzhao fell into the days of reading books and practicing martial arts in class again, put down the book in his hand, rubbed his eyes, and then took a sip of tea. In this era, Zhu Houzhao pays great attention to protecting his eyes, if he is really short-sighted, then it will be a big trouble. Even if you can make glasses yourself, how can you ride a horse and shoot arrows with glasses?
"Your Highness, Zhang Yong is here!" Liu Jin came to Zhu Houzhao's side and said respectfully, with no expression on his face.
Zhu Houzhao glanced at Liu Jin, he felt that the discord between Liu Jin and Zhang Yong was estimated to be repeated in this life, but Zhu Houzhao didn't bother to care.
"Let him in!" Nodding slightly, Zhu Houzhao put down the teacup in his hand, and then spoke.
It didn't take long for Zhang Yong to walk in from the outside, with an excited expression on his face, looking at him carefully holding a box in his hand, Zhu Houzhao was suddenly excited, and hurriedly said, "It's done?" ”
"Back to Your Highness, it's done!" Zhang Yong hurriedly said.
Of course, Zhu Houzhao said that the mirror, the large flat piece can be used for the glass of the house window, Zhang Yong still hasn't got it out, but the cutting of the small piece is still no problem, and the good one is not bad. Good to use to make a mirror, just can be made into a mirror of different sizes and specifications, originally Zhu Houzhao thought that he couldn't make it a year ago, but he didn't expect it to be really made.
"Hurry up and take a look!" Zhu Houzhao hurriedly stretched out his hand to greet Zhang Yong, he was just short of this fist product now.
Zhang Yong hurriedly took the box and came to Zhu Houzhao, opened the wooden box, and there was indeed a mirror inside.
The size is not very big, but it is also the size of a human head, just like the dressing mirror of later generations, and the transparency is not as good as that of later generations, but this thing is much better than the copper mirror, it is really a mirror! The frame of the golden silk nanmu, the dragon and phoenix carved by the first-class master carver, Zhu Houzhao doesn't know what it feels like, this frame is much more valuable than the mirror.
Carefully picked up the mirror and looked at it, Zhu Houzhao nodded with satisfaction, it's good.
Gently groping the mirror, Zhu Houzhao felt that such a mirror was not expensive, right? This is a good product with a touching price.
"Good, good, good!" Zhu Houzhao nodded with satisfaction, and then said: "Well done, go and approve a piece of land to build a factory, and then dispatch henchmen to guard and take an assembly line, these palaces have told you before, in a word, you must not leak secrets." Hongu is counting on it to make money and go back to reward those craftsmen. ”
"By the way, don't forget to pay by piece, don't be stingy, let them do a good job!" Zhu Houzhao instructed excitedly.
Zhang Yong nodded hurriedly, the smile on his face was extremely bright, he knew that his errand this time was completed, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was so happy, and his status in His Royal Highness the Prince's heart was naturally improved.
waved his hand and motioned for Zhang Yong to go down to receive the reward, and Zhu Houzhao rushed to Kunning Palace with the box, this thing is a big killer for women, so naturally he has to take it to his mother first. For this year's royal reward, Zhu Houzhao felt that he could appreciate a little mirror, firstly, to advertise, and secondly, to save his father some money.
You must know that whether it is an important minister in the court or a member of the court, it is a big family, and a mirror is good for something.
Once you take it home, you can't buy it if you don't want to, and you don't have to suffer from widowhood and unevenness, which Zhu Houzhao knows very clearly.
When Zhu Houzhao came to Kunning Palace, Zhu Youzhu was also there, and there was nothing to do in the imperial court recently, so he spent more things on the Kunning Palace, after all, Empress Zhang was pregnant, and her body was getting heavier and heavier. Zhu Youzhu was naturally worried, so the time here was getting longer and longer, and seeing Zhu Houzhao running in without any image, Zhu Youzhu frowned.
"It's frizzy, and I don't pay attention to my manners!" Zhu Youzhu criticized Zhu Houzhao, obviously dissatisfied with Zhu Houzhao's performance.
Empress Zhang on the side naturally laughed when she saw her son coming, and then said: "Look at the emperor's happy face, and there is a box in his arms, it should be a baby, it can make the emperor so happy, it should be a big baby, hurry up and bring it to the queen mother!" ”
Zhu Houzhao naturally didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly hugged the box, in this harem, you have to figure out who is in charge and who is in charge.
The box was opened, Zhu Houzhao carefully took out the mirror, and then did not speak, and put it directly in front of his mother.
"This, this!" Empress Zhang looked at herself in the mirror, and suddenly became excited, reached out and touched the mirror, feeling the cold touch from above, Empress Zhang raised her head and looked at Zhu Houzhao: "This is the Immortal Treasure Mirror?" ”
"It's not!" Zhu Houzhao shook his head decisively, the women in the harem all believe in Buddhism, if this is the fairy treasure mirror, there may be some news in the future: "This is glass, Erchen improved the technique, and then made this kind of mirror, it is very complicated, anyway, this kind of mirror is much better than the bronze mirror, this is the first mirror, and Erchen will use it to dedicate it to the queen mother." ”
Zhu Youzhu raised his head and looked at his son, his expression was quite complicated: "Are you going to use this to make money again?" ”
The son had said before that he wanted to make money, and he didn't take it too seriously, but after that, his son made a stove, how popular the stove is in the capital, Zhu Youzhu knows, and that strange Zhai is even more famous in the capital. Many people would rather wait in line for a stove than look for something else to make.
With the stove alone, his son made a lot of money, although he didn't know the specific amount, but Zhu Youzhu knew that his son must have made a lot of money.
Now that I have made such a delicate mirror, it is estimated that I will make a lot of money, and the more important thing is that this mirror is different from the stove, the stove will look at it, and everyone will do it, but this mirror is different, look at this posture should be my son alone, how much money does the son have to make.
With his son's character, this mirror is estimated to be sold to all of the Ming Dynasty, thinking of the money, Zhu Youzhu was jealous.
"Of course it's for money!" Zhu Houzhao nodded directly: "There are many places for my son to use money, and it is not enough to make money!" ”
He glanced at his son with a complicated expression, if it weren't for his own son, he had promised him to let him make money by himself, Zhu Youzhu really wanted to put this money into his inner treasury. You must know that Zhu Youjiao, the emperor, is also poor! There were all mice in the inner library for a while, if it weren't for the fact that Shou Ninghou always sent money to the palace during this period of time, Zhu Youzhu felt that he was poorer than his son.
The money sent by Shou Ninghou, of course Zhu Youzhu knew what was going on, because his son also had a share, but Zhu Youzhu pretended not to know, so he thought it was Shou Ninghou's filial piety to his sister and brother-in-law.
"Erchen has already made some preparations, and the emperor's reward this year can add mirrors to it!" Zhu Houzhao said directly: "Other things can be less, after all, this mirror is also quite expensive." ”
Zhu Youzhu smiled directly, the last time the stove, this time the mirror, of course Zhu Youzhu knew what his son was thinking. If Zhu Youzhu didn't react to the last time he warmed the stove, but after so long, Zhu Youzhu had already reacted, and his son was using himself. I didn't react last time, and I suffered a dumb loss, but this time Zhu Youzhu won't be fooled.
"It's not impossible!" Zhu Youzhu stroked his beard and said with a smile: "Father's inner treasury is also short of silver!" ”
"Look at your mother, there are not many decent pieces of jewelry on this body!" said Zhu Youjiao's sad face.
Zhu Hou took care of his father's acting, and his mother didn't have any jewelry, but was that? You used to say that you didn't have it, but now your mother doesn't? Shou Ninghou doesn't send anything to the palace, jade and jewelry are all pulled into boxes into the palace, and there are countless gold and silver, and the workload of the silver bureau has increased sharply these days.
Of course, Zhu Houzhao also knew that this was his father ripping off the bamboo, obviously seeing that his son was going to make a lot of money, and he felt uncomfortable.
"So?" Zhu Houzhao said with a surprised face: "In this way, tomorrow Erchen will send someone out to buy, all the gold, silver and jade, all the most expensive and the best." Saying that, Zhu Houzhao came to Queen Zhang's side: "The queen mother is the most noble woman in the world, of course, she must match the best accessories." ”
Queen Zhang looked at the father and son, smiled helplessly, and stretched out her hand to pat Zhu Houzhao: "Speak well!" ”
Zhu Houzhao's face suddenly fell, and he said with a sad face: "Father, let's say okay, I will spend the money I earn by myself, and my son still wants to build a treasure ship!" ”
Listening to his son's words, Zhu Youzhu coughed a few times in embarrassment, slightly embarrassed, obviously Zhu Youzhang's face was not thick enough: "Then I won't help you reward the mirror!" ”
"Then I'll give my father 20%?" Zhu Houzhao thought about it and asked tentatively.
"The son is filial to his father, this is filial piety, how much is the mood, how can a father limit the number!" Zhu Youzhu stroked his beard, looking like an old god.
When Zhu Houzhao heard this, he knew that this was not enough!
Gritted his teeth: "Sancheng, can't be too much!" ”
"You child, since you are so filial, then your father will bear it!" Zhu Youzhu looked reluctant, and he was not embarrassed to blackmail his son.
