Empress Dowager Zhang has always doted on her two younger brothers, and when she saw Emperor Zhu Houzhao say this, she couldn't help but smile and said: "You kid, since you have that glass treasure, why don't you send a few to your two uncles, you have to ask them to buy them with silver." ”

Although Zhu Houzhao knew that the Empress Dowager Zhang loved his younger brother very much, he didn't mind earning his uncle's silver, anyway, these two uncles were the same as the vassal king Xungui, and they had no contribution to the court, and it was also a good thing to get back a little silver to feed the people.

So, Zhu Houzhao also smiled and said: "Queen Mother, you don't know, the reason why this glass treasure is precious is because it has to be refined with a lot of pearls and agate, if my uncles want it, I have to let the eunuchs who purchased it go to the south to buy pearls and agate in the name of the royal family, and then use the Cao army to transport them back, these are all to spend silver, even if I want to send it, I don't have so much silver to make glass treasures for my uncles, and if I don't use silver, I have to be said by the officials that I abuse the people's power;

If the uncles are willing to pay for the silver, it is naturally another matter, and if I let the eunuchs who bought it spend silver to hire the Cao army, it will not attract gossip, and this 10,000 taels of silver is just the money to buy pearl agate and pay the hard work of some craftsmen, I can earn less than half a tael, and these glass treasures are sold for more than 20,000 taels of silver, and the uncles will naturally make a lot of money.

The uncles are now all married and have their own businesses, and they can't always rely on the royal help, although they can't engage in politics, they always have to make a living, farming is impossible, and it's okay to do business, it's better to teach people to fish than to teach people to fish, even if I give all the royal things to my uncles, my uncles can't always be rich, if I let my uncles have a livelihood, it's naturally different, and I can also let my uncles grow up to make a living. ”

When Zhu Houzhao first said that he would not send it, Shou Ning Hou and Jianchang Hou were still a little disappointed, but now when they heard Zhu Houzhao say this, they were also very satisfied in their hearts, thinking that if it was really as His Majesty said, the glass treasure bought by 10,000 taels was taken out and sold to 20,000 or 30,000 taels, and he would be able to earn 10,000 or 20,000 yuan, which was more profitable than selling salt, and it was better than asking for one piece directly, after all, he could only ask for one, and if he bought it, he could buy as much as he wanted.

So, Shouning Marquis Zhang Heling hurriedly smiled: "What Your Majesty said is very true, we are embarrassed to often ask the royal family for things, we also know the difficulties of the royal family, if it is really as Your Majesty said, we are willing to buy it with silver, and then find someone to sell it to Jiangnan, and then we can indeed make a lot of money, and we should have a career." ”

"Exactly, this can also block the mouths of those civil officials outside, saying that we are idle and not doing our jobs, and now we are honestly earning some money, and the faces of the Queen Mother and Your Majesty are also good-looking", Zhang Yanling also echoed and smiled.

Empress Dowager Zhang saw that the two younger brothers seemed to be very satisfied, and she did agree with her son's point of view that "it is better to teach people to fish than to teach them to fish", and she also wanted to let her two younger brothers have a serious livelihood, so she also laughed: "That's fine, then you can do this business, the mourning family is also lacking, you continue to talk about serious things." ”

So, Empress Dowager Zhang was supported by the maid and went to the inner room, and Zhu Houzhao ordered someone to renew the tea, and asked Zhang Heling and Zhang Yanling with a smile: "How many pieces do the two uncles plan to buy, and what glass treasures do you want to buy?" ”

Zhang Heling looked at Zhang Yanling, pondered in his heart for a while, and then stretched out two fingers: "Weichen wants twenty pieces, including ten glass beads, five glass tables, and one crystal Guanyin!" ”

Twenty pieces, 10,000 taels each, a total of 200,000 taels, the cost of one piece is between one tael and three taels, and at the cost of sixty taels, you can also earn nearly 200,000 taels of silver.

Zhu Houzhao was naturally very happy in his heart, but on the surface, he still pretended to think and said: "Twenty pieces is not much, you can!" ”

Here, Zhang Yanling saw that Zhu Houzhao said that twenty pieces were not too many, so he was also busy saying: "Then I will also buy twenty pieces, just like my brother, ten glass beads, five glass tables, and one crystal Guanyin!" ”

"Yes, those two uncles will sign and draw with Wei Bin later, and he is in charge of these things", Zhu Houzhao nodded, and then specially instructed Wei Bin, one of the Eight Tigers: "Be polite to the two uncles!" ”

Wei Bin didn't need Zhu Houzhao's instructions at all, he was already smiling, he was one of the core figures of the Royal Industrial Company, he naturally knew the value of these glass treasures, and he also knew that he could make a lot of profits by negotiating business with these two uncles, so he hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, rest assured, the slave and maid will definitely do a good job of handling the goods for the two uncles." ”

Saying that, Wei Bin also took the initiative to smile at Zhang Heling and Zhang Yanling: "Two uncles, please!" ”

Zhang Heling and Zhang Yanling originally thought that this kind of trouble with the emperor's eunuchs would make these eunuchs unhappy and troublesome, but they didn't expect this emperor's personal eunuch named Wei Bin to be so attentive and considerate, and they were a little surprised for a while, thinking that they didn't have any benefit in this?

But the two couldn't think of any benefits, so they could only follow Wei Bin to sign and draw the pledge, and agreed to send a total of 100,000 taels of gold and silver within three days, and at the same time, Wei Bin also promised to send the glass treasures to his mansion one after another within a month.

"Emperor, these two uncles are really happy, the sale of 400,000 taels will be signed, and now the Royal Industrial Company is going to make a lot of money again", Wei Bin came back for a while and told Zhu Houzhao.

Zhu Houzhao smiled faintly: "It can be seen that these royal relatives are all rich masters, you must manage the royal industrial company well, don't let people know the secret recipe of our glass soap, find a few more imperial relatives in the future, and sell these to them!" ”

"Don't worry! The slaves and maids have been watching it well," Wei Bin said.

At that time, Zhang Heling and Zhang Yanling also walked out of the palace happily, and the two of them didn't feel that they had suffered a big loss at all, and they thought that they could sell tens of thousands of taels to make a lot of money when they went to Jiangnan, and their faces were full of smiles.

And Liu Jian, the first assistant of the cabinet, and others, who happened to be standing outside the Wenhua Palace, saw Zhang Heling and Zhang Yanling, and saw that the two seemed very happy, Li Dongyang said first: "I heard from the eunuchs, these two uncles came to His Majesty to ask for glass treasures, and it seems that they are coming." ”

"The harem has always spoiled these two uncles, and it's not surprising that they want to give anything, but now we can't take care of these two uncles, and they don't expect them to make any trouble, and now the key is not to let His Majesty out of the palace;

Only in this way can we find an opportunity to get rid of Liu Jin and the others around Your Majesty, and it is best to punish them with capital crimes, so as not to make a comeback, and also let those eunuchs who follow Your Majesty know the fate of bewitching Your Majesty! ”

Sanfu Xie Qian glared at the old man, and then looked at Shoufu Liu Jian.

Shoufu Liu Jian turned around and entered the cabinet of the Wenhua Palace, and sat on the chair in the center: "There is a rumor from the Ministry of Industry that the Qianqing Palace can be repaired before Emperor Xiaozong's Anling, and we will lead a hundred officials to ask His Majesty to return to the Qianqing Palace to live and demolish the leopard room!" Now you need to contact the officials below in advance! ”

"I'll leave this matter to Yang Tinghe, he is well-known in Qingliu", Li Dongyang said this, and Liu Jian and the others all nodded.
