It's not the first time Xie Hong has been scolded as a demon, and he has long had immunity, not to mention that he was scolded ten miles away, so Wang Yue's resentment did not reach his ears in time.

However, he does have a bit of a headache at this time, and the reason is, of course, the second brother in front of him.

"Big brother, I can already shoot a clear ......" Zhengde was very excited, his little face seemed to be glowing, and he boasted to Xie Hong very proudly. After finishing speaking, he looked at Xie Hong expectantly, which clearly meant that he was saying: Praise me, praise me well.

"Second brother, you are really amazing......" Xie Hong's mind is so exquisite, how empathetic, much better than Zhang Yong and Gaofeng's two goods. What's more, this is not a disobedient remark, but a compliment from the bottom of his heart.

Snooker is a game with a high technical content, although Xie Hong's own hands are very skillful, but he has never practiced it specially, and he can only play this kind of difficult result in one shot. And although the billiards he makes now are more high-end than those of later generations, well, balls made of ivory, all-natural solid wood tables and clubs, must be high-end!

But on the whole, the overall technical content is not as good as the billiards of later generations, and the elastic surname of ivory must lag behind the plastic balls of later generations; The side library is made of wood, and the bomb surname and durability are also slightly inferior; Including the pure fur of the tabletop, when it comes to smoothness, it is actually much worse than that of later generations...... So if you want to play well, you need a higher level of technology, and he was lucky on the day he demonstrated to Zhengde, so he played it once, what he didn't expect was that Zhengde had only been playing for a month, and the level was so high.

Zhengde's high athletic talent doesn't give Xie Hong a headache, the key problem is that Gao Feng's second guess is good, Zhengde really came out to find Xie Hong as an opponent, or to find a sparring partner.

"Big brother, you come with me into the palace to play ball with me, Ma Yongcheng and Lao Liu are too stupid, they don't know if they can't play accurately, and they often miss the rod and scratch my billiards case......" Zhengde chattered endlessly, obviously resentful, and Ma Yongcheng was sweating profusely laughing beside him.

The Eight Tigers are not young, their ability to accept new things and their athletic ability will definitely not be successful, the younger ones are okay, Zhang Yong's level is good, but compared with Zhengde, a sports genius, it is far behind. In the past month, several people have been more of an audience than a sparring partner.

Ma Yongcheng was naturally tormented, and listening to Zhengde's complaints, the familiar and friendly stable seemed to appear in front of him...... Xie Hong also had a headache, according to Zhengde, he felt that he was not an opponent anymore, it didn't matter if he won or lost, but he couldn't afford to delay in time.

Gu Dayong has already spread the word from there, saying that Zhenbao Zhai has almost been prepared, and it will be ready to open in a few days; When Dong Ping first arrived, the construction of the iron-making workshop, especially the original blast furnace, could not be done without Xie Hong's personal participation; What's more, Zeng Jian warned again, saying that Wenchen also had a plan, and Zhenbaozhai was likely to have been exposed...... Finally, there is also the problem of stocking and publicity, Xie Hong is indeed flawless now, he really wants to say to Zhengde: Second brother, the eldest brother is now up and down for a few thousand taels of silver a minute, how can he have time to play with you?

Of course, this is just his thoughts, even if he doesn't consider Zhengde's mood, he also has to consider Zhu Houzhao's classmate's ability to pester, if he says so, Zhengde will definitely pester him, and there will be more trouble.

Xie Hong sighed, there was no way, he had to pay for the sins he had done, who asked him to make this thing for Zhengde? However, if you want Zhengde to stop for a month and stay in the Qianqing Palace honestly, you have to have this thing.

Wang Yue's understanding of Zhengde has no deviation, and Xie Hong also deeply agrees, Zhu Houzhao's degree of liking the new and hating the old can indeed be compared with the non-mainstream of the post-90s generation in later generations.

And his surname is also extroverted, and he can't be idle, it's not easy to let such a person be an otaku, unless there is a computer and the Internet, that's a different matter. It's a pity that Xie Hong is just a craftsman who has crossed over, not an immortal, so he can only think of another way.

As the saying goes: it is indeed good to have a specialization in the art industry. Wang Yue thought it was impossible, but Xie Hong thought of it.

After thinking back to Zhengde's preference for each thing, and the duration, Xie Hong cleverly discovered the rule, that is, the functional surname!

Zhengde is interested in all new things, but how long he likes it depends on how well it functions. For example, the music box can play music, so Zhengde played it for more than a day, and then threw it aside, probably because there was only one song, and he got tired of listening to too much.

The subsequent Seven Treasure Pagoda is far more exquisite than the music box, but Zhengde only saw a lively. The reason is very simple, that thing has no function, the bell is simulated, far inferior to the real big bell, so Zhengde is only interested in the moment when it is smashed and the golden flowers are splashed, probably because it is very dazzling or because the performance of Imperial Doctor Gu was too exciting...... Although the piano function is good, even if he likes music, Zhengde is not sensitive to the hard work of practicing the piano. Xie Hong also understands that how many children in the future like to practice that every day? The piano is more like a machine, and when you practice, you have to work hard, and the process is not interesting.

What's more, Xie Hong has two musicians with amazing talents, for Zhengde, if you want to listen to the music, you can just go to the eldest brother's house to listen to it, why bother to practice it yourself? The eldest brother said that this is a skill that leaders must master to make the best use of.

The rest of the things are similar.,Most of them are just a lively look.,Pocket watch pendulum clock or something.,Zhengde can't like it at all.,That thing is to look at the time.,What's so fun?

After figuring out this section, Xie Hong figured out a way, the most versatile toy, of course, is a competitive event, and among them, billiards is the first to be carried out indoors.

In later generations, there are different opinions on the origin of billiards, some say it is Huaxia, some say it is European countries, and so on, Xie Hong has not verified it exactly, but the rise of this sport is in Europe, and the game of snooker undoubtedly originated in the United Kingdom.

There is an allusion to this gameplay, which was in the eighteenth century, when Britain was the most powerful and claimed to be the Empire of Immortality. Because of the pride in the power of the country, snooker began to become popular among the nobility at that time.

The moral is as follows: the white balls on the table represent the British Empire's Invincible Armada, the flower balls represent colonies, the red balls represent those that have been conquered, and the rest are unconquered.

The rules of the game mean that the Armada can fight wherever it is, even if it can't be fought for a while, it can also cross the conquered colonies, conquer them one by one, and finally dominate the world.

Because of this, Xie Hong made billiards, and then recommended it to Zhengde, he felt that this meaning was very good, and it was very suitable for the emperor of the Ming Dynasty to enjoy. He made the thing, and then explained and demonstrated, Zhengde's eyes really lit up, and he was even more amazed by the meaning of it, so he had his one-month otaku career.

Of course, Xie Hong is not a magical Kong Ming, it can be regarded as a last resort, Zhengde's athletic talent is something he didn't take into account, I thought that Zhengde might get bored after playing for ten days and a half, but I didn't expect him to play for a month, and the level is still so high, this accident makes Xie Hong feel a little tricky, how to satisfy the second brother who is dissatisfied with his desires?

Looking at Zhengde with an expectant face, Xie Hong really felt that it was a waste for this guy not to travel back to the modern era, he only played for a month to have such a level, if he practiced hard for a year and a half, he would be able to pay it back? must have a direct monopoly on all kinds of masters, what O'Sullivan, what Higgins, don't they all have to stand aside?

In addition, Zhengde's secrecy work is too good, and it is also beyond Xie Hong's expectations, in fact, according to his original plan, Zhengde only needs to keep it secret for ten days, and then use the secrecy in the early stage to create suspense, and then release the news later, won't it cause a sensation?

It's royal! And the image spokesperson is the emperor, and there is suspense in the early stage, does this kind of propaganda need to be said about the effect?

Xie Hong predicts that after such a hype, billiards should be able to become popular in Gyeonggi, and then naturally there will be one more money-making project. It's a pity that there are too many accidents with Zhengde, and it's a pity that such a good hype has been lost.

"It would be nice if I could find more people to play...... Zhengde still thought to himself, he could see that Xie Hong was embarrassed, but billiards is a competitive event, and the fun of playing without one will drop a lot, of course, the level of playing with him is not enough, so he is still unwilling to give up.

The plan is not as good as changing, just take one step at a time to see one step at a time, Xie Hong thought about it, and said: "Second brother, in fact, it is not difficult to find more people to play with you......"

"Really?" Zhengde's eyes lit up.

Seeing that the target was hooked, Xie Hong continued to flicker: "The key to this thing is still a promotion, as long as there are more people playing, there must be more high-level players!" So, the most important thing is to promote ......"

"So how do you promote it?" Zhengde asked as if he didn't understand, the reason was simple, but Xie Hong always had fresh words popping out of his mouth, which made it difficult for people to understand.

"Of course, it depends on Jumbo Zhai! Second brother, you are the chairman of Zhenbao Zhai, you have to be attentive to these things. Xie Hong taught earnestly:

"Only by selling billiards through Jumbo Zhai and selling them to many people, they can play, right? And the price should be high, so that eighty percent of the people who can afford it are more free to practice, right? The more you practice, the higher your level will be, right? The more he spoke, the more he felt it made sense, and at the same time the more excited he became.

"When there are enough people playing in the future, can we still hold a league, well, let's call it the Masters Classic...... The greater the influence of billiards, the more equipment we sell, and at the same time, the higher the level, the more people can play with the second brother, and of course, the more money we make......"

Saying that, Xie Hong's face was solemn, and he changed his words and said: "So, second brother, what you want to study now is not to improve your skills, but to find a way to fulfill your responsibilities as the chairman, and it is right to work hard to promote our store." ”

"Oh, I see." Zhengde suddenly realized. Although Zhu Houzhao is smart, he is just a kind and ignorant teenager, so he naturally can't resist Xie Hong's tirade, and he deserves to be hit.

The two of them were muttering here, but there were people next to them, Ma Yongcheng was not surprised, and said that he had no pressure on this, and directly ignored it. But Zeng Jian saw this scene for the first time, the old man was very dumbfounded, no wonder Xie Xian's nephew was so sure at the beginning, he was really able to fool, and the emperor ate him, isn't it really fate?

"What should I do?" Zhengde began to be eager to try.

"The most important thing is to spread the news, that is, you have been addicted to billiards this month, you are the chairman, and you are handsome, so it is the responsibility of the image spokesperson...... " Xie Hong smiled, like a big bad wolf who coaxed Little Red Riding Hood, "Secondly, you have to defend ......"

"Long live the lord, long live the lord, the big thing is not good!"

While he was talking, there was a sudden cry outside the door, and everyone looked up, but it was Liu Jin who ran in, and Ma Wentao followed behind helplessly, obviously before he could report, he was broken in by this old guy.

"What's wrong?" was interrupted as soon as he entered the state, and Zhengde's face and tone were not very good.

"Long live the lord, something big happened in the palace, Wang Yue ......" Liu Jin didn't care much, and told the story of what happened in the Forbidden City just now. After speaking, he cried again: "The slave and maid desperately blocked it, but that Wang Yue was rude, long live the lord, you see, the slave and maid's heads are broken......" While crying, he also pointed to the injury on his head and complained.

"Huh? Wang Yue broke into the Qianqing Palace! Xie Hong and Zhengde exclaimed in unison, obviously shocked and angry.

Liu Jin was overjoyed, Wang Yue made such a big mistake, Long live the Lord is angry, he will definitely be finished, the position of the celebrant is ...... Hehe, who else can it be besides me Lao Liu? It's not in vain that I have suffered such a crime of self-harm! I didn't think it was just now, but I felt that it really hurt.

"He didn't break my ball, did he?" What Zhengde cares about is not the same thing as what Liu Jin thinks.

"This ...... Probably not, right? Liu Jin was dumbfounded, as soon as Wang Yue fell, the people he brought with him were naturally in chaos, Liu Jin took advantage of the chaos to run out to report the news, how could he have time to care about inconsequential things like the ball case? But Long Live Lord's thinking is different, the dormitory has been broken, but he cares about the ball case, what kind of road is this?

"Lao Liu, why are you so careless!" Without a clear answer, Zhengde was naturally very dissatisfied and said bitterly.

Liu Jin was speechless and lowered his head in shame, but then he raised it again, because Xie Hong was also shocked, which made him have to be surprised.

"Actually......" Xie Hong said with a smile on his face: "Wang Yue is really a good father-in-law!" It's just timely rain, great people! ”

Yes? broke into the emperor's bedroom, and actually got such a comment! Who's crazy? Except for Zhengde, who was still complaining to himself, everyone else looked at Xie Hong blankly, and their hearts were uncertain.
