Liu Jin and Zhang Yong hurriedly said yes, although Liu Jin and others could see that Xu Jing seemed to be very favored, but they did not dislike Xu Jing, after all, they had only earned a lot of silver from Xu Jing, and Xu Jing seemed to be a person with a lot of emotional intelligence, and Liu Jin and others talked together in less than half a day, so that Liu Jin and others did not feel that they were despised by the literati.

As eunuchs, they care about this very much, as long as they have strong self-esteem, as long as they are willing to respect them, they will also have a good impression of them, and now Liu Jin is the same, he wishes that Xu Jing would become one of them.

Therefore, Liu Jin also took the initiative to suggest: "Emperor, Lord Xu will also be regarded as a minister in the future, and it is good to let Lord Xu remove the roots of his descendants with a slave maid, after all, this is the rule of the Inner Mansion for many years." ”

Liu Jin's implication is nothing more than that Xu Jing is also his own person, but as his own person, he should be a eunuch, so Xu Jing should also become a eunuch.

Zhu Houzhao didn't think of this problem, he didn't mind if the people around him were eunuchs, so he didn't have this awareness, but now Liu Jin's mention of this made Zhu Houzhao think of a way to make money again, and he couldn't help but show a malicious smile to Xu Jing, the head of the Royal State Administration of Taxation.

Xu Jing has been immersed in the joy of being an official, he has always wanted to enter the official career, although he is a wealthy businessman, but Hongzhi's 12 years of fraud in the field of fraud made him lose the qualification to be an official, so Zhu Houzhao now gave him the opportunity to be an official He is indeed very happy.

However, just when he was overjoyed, Liu Jin's proposal was like a basin of cold water poured on Xu Jing's heart, so frightened that Xu Jing involuntarily covered his bottom and looked at Zhu Houzhao with a pleading look: "Your Majesty, do you really want to remove the roots of your descendants?" ”

"Xu Jing, do you mind, you can't have both, you should know that following me will naturally be prosperous, but there must also be sacrifices, otherwise how can there be such a good thing in the world, you can think about it again, I don't force you, if you don't want to, I can't choose other people who are willing to be my director of the chamberlain", Zhu Houzhao said with a smile.

Of course, Xu Jing doesn't mind if he has children and grandchildren, as a child of a rich family, he has tasted the wonders of women since he had secondary sexual characteristics, and even raised several beautiful concubines, but when he thought that he had already tasted women anyway, but he had never tasted power, he still gritted his teeth: "Your Majesty, don't think about it, Weichen is willing!" ”

Liu Jin, Zhang Yong and other eunuchs all glanced at each other and laughed.

"He's a guy who wants to do big things! Powerful! ”

Zhu Houzhao naturally couldn't help but cough with laughter, and then said: "Actually, it doesn't have to be castrated, in ancient times, didn't there also be a Shaofu post dedicated to the emperor's treasury, and it wasn't that Shaofu had to be a eunuch, and he was still one of the Nine Qings, if you don't want to, you can actually do it, but you have to pay a free castration fee, otherwise it won't be able to say it, and it will also make Liu Jin and others feel that God is unfair, otherwise why are they eunuchs You're not, right." ”

Liu Jin and other eunuchs secretly admired their emperor, they didn't expect Zhu Houzhao to think of a way to make money, and even Gu Dayong instigated on the side: "What the emperor said is that we had to remove our descendants to become eunuchs because we were poor, and now since you have money, you can naturally pay the money and get rid of it." ”

Xu Jing also understood that his majesty the emperor was changing the law and wanted to get money from himself, but he couldn't help but agree, as long as he could not castrate his descendants and pay as much silver as an official, he was willing, for him, the problem of money was not a problem.

So, Xu Jing hurriedly asked with a sad face: "Then dare to ask Your Majesty, how much silver you need to pay." ”

"Liu Jin, Zhang Yong, you Eight Tigers talk about how much silver you have to pay, you understand the importance of that thing better than me, after all, you have already lost it", Zhu Houzhao actually wanted Liu Jin and others to shout a high price, after all, they were jealous that normal people had complete parts, so they would definitely shout a high price for Xu Jing's free castration.

Liu Jin thought about it for a while, and then looked at the other seven tigers: "Ten thousand taels!" Master Xu is now in his thirties, and he plans to live for sixty years, and there are still more than twenty years, so he will play for twenty years, even if he spends five hundred taels on a woman's belly every year, ten thousand taels is enough! ”

"Then 10,000 taels, Xu Jing, you might accept it?"

After Zhu Houzhao said, he asked Xu Jing if he was willing to pay so much silver.

Xu Jing hurriedly took out the silver ticket without thinking about it: "Weichen is willing!" 10,000 taels of silver tickets, this is presented, hehe! ”

Zhu Houzhao took the silver ticket and glanced at Liu Jin and the others with some meaning, he had the feeling that Liu Jin and the others had shouted the price down.

Liu Jin also regretted it a little, in his opinion, 10,000 taels was indeed very high, but it seemed that this was nothing to Xu Jing.

Zhu Houzhao saw that Xu Jing had a feeling that he had picked up a bargain and was also a little resentful, so he said: "I heard that your brother-in-law Tang Bohu is very popular with women, right, I guess it's because that thing functions very well, since this is the case, he will double it and charge 20,000 taels, and you, the younger brother, will pay both yourself and your brother-in-law Tang Bohu's free castration." ”

Xu Jing has always been generous, and now his own emperor His Majesty asked him to help Tang Bohu pay the castration fee, so naturally he didn't dare to disobey, but what made Xu Jing unconvinced was why Tang Bohu's castration fee was 10,000 taels more, so he hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, my righteous brother is only half an hour more than Weichen!" ”

Zhu Houzhao was not interested in knowing who was more durable between Xu Jing and Tang Bohu, he was interested in how much money he could make, so he didn't talk to Xu Jing more, only let Liu Jin and Zhang Yong take Xu Jing to attract investment, while he took Qiu Ju to continue to go to the Royal Industrial Experimental Base to continue to tackle the pharmaceutical project on nitroglycerin.

The reason why Zhu Houzhao is obsessed with the pharmaceutical engineering of nitroglycerin is not only because he wants to make a fortune by making a miracle drug for the treatment of heart disease, but more importantly, he wants to master the control method of trinitroglycerin in order to prepare for the production of trinitrotoluene.

Of course, the actual operation is still Qiu Ju, and Qiu Ju didn't dare to let his emperor touch this thing, and even he himself found a little eunuch to help, but in fact, there is no danger of glycerin trinitrate now, because Zhu Houzhao only let Qiu Ju use a drop and dilute it several times with distilled water.

The important thing in the production of nitroglycerol drugs is not the early reaction, but the later crystallization technology and product purity, after all, this is something to eat into the human stomach, and there must be several phases of clinical trials.

Zhu Houzhao has asked Qiu Ju to find someone to raise a few pigs, but how to make pigs have coronary heart disease and other heart disease is also a problem, and the only thing to do now is to feed these pigs with big fish and meat every day, as long as they are too obese, they may naturally get heart disease.
