Xie Hong's words were a little abrupt, at least Gu Dayong and Liu Jin on the side felt so.

Money isn't a big deal? Let's not talk about it, since ancient times, the word fame and fortune have made many heroes and heroes bend their waists, let's just say that it is good now. The courtiers are so stiff with the emperor, in the final analysis, it's not for the silver? Otherwise, why do you have to cancel the Huangzhuang, if you can't cancel it, then ask the income of the Huangzhuang, three points of the loser?

Thousands of miles for officials are only for money, although it is just a folk proverb, but the words are not rough, and the meaning is still very reasonable. At least, the two eunuchs thought it was true, if they didn't have no source of livelihood, who would engage in the special industry of eunuchs?

For the sake of power? Don't be kidding, if you want to stand out among the tens of thousands of eunuchs, the difficulty is no less than relying on the imperial examination and taking the official career, and the competition between internal officials is far more dangerous than that of the court competition. Why does Wang Yue hate the Eight Tigers? Not only is he reluctant to give up the power in his hands, but what he is more afraid of is the fate of his own family after losing power!

Entering the palace is to make a living, and they have lost their expectations for the future, and the eunuchs are also extremely important to money, and Liu Jin and Gu Dayong are no exception.

So at this time, when Xie Hong suddenly came out with such a sentence, there was a very disdainful look in his tone, and both of them slandered in their hearts.

It's very inexplicable to say that silver is not important, not to mention that the one who asked the emperor for money yesterday was not you, Lord Xie? Why don't you care about it at this time? Could it be that you learned a spell last night, so you can turn stones into gold, otherwise why would you go back on your word?

"Big brother, do you have a way? That's great, I don't have to worry about it now. After listening to Xie Hong's words, Zhengde was in good spirits.

Since the pro-government, even when everything was cooperated last year, his life has not been very good, and after he rejected the Huangzhuang and the Eight Tigers, he felt even more difficult.

The court is full of old foxes, and at this time they are also united, and the means are endless, from the heart, Zhengde wants to compromise and calm people. But he realized that this was just his wishful thinking, and every time he took a step back, the other party would force him to take a step forward until he had no way to retreat.

Could it be that he can only be like his father, obey everything in the court, follow the rules in private, and even go out of the palace occasionally to see secretly, except for the expenses stipulated by etiquette, half a cent of other silver can not be spent, so that the courtiers can be satisfied?

In that kind of life, as long as you think about it, Zhu Houzhao is already cold, so he defended the Eight Tigers before and was noncommittal about the affairs of Huangzhuang. This kind of passive resistance is the limit of what he can do, there is no way, he can't fight and fight, and he retreats to the point where he can't retreat anymore, so he can only drag things out like this.

Xie Hong's appearance intensified the confrontation between Zhengde and the courtiers, making the situation even more serious, if he was a mean person, I am afraid that he would put the blame on Xie Hong; If he had some political acumen and knew some strategy, he would probably throw Xie Hong as a bargaining chip in exchange for a compromise with the courtiers so that the two sides could reach an understanding.

But Zhengde didn't have any resentment in his heart, but was very happy, Xie Hong's actions opened a new world in front of his eyes. He found that the courtiers were not invincible, and they were terrified; They will also be refuted speechless, so that they will be angry and ashamed; The same will be withdrawn.

Fortunately, he realized that he didn't have to live that boring life like his father, because he had something that Hongji didn't have, that is, a magical and omnipotent big brother.

After returning to Beijing, Lian Zhan Lian won success, which also encouraged Zhengde, and this is why he took the initiative to take over the task of asking for money yesterday. is similar to the behavior of ordinary teenagers, in addition to envying Xie Hong's ability, Zhu Houzhao also wants to apply what he has learned, overwhelm the courtiers, and then show off his skills in front of his eldest brother.

Of course, he overestimated himself and Xie Hong, in a field that he was not good at, fighting against an enemy who surpassed him in quantity and quality, even if he changed Xie Hong, the final result would not be any different.

For the two of them, politics is completely unfamiliar territory, and their opponents are all veterans who have been immersed in silver for decades, and all kinds of methods have been used perfectly, and the failure of Zhengde is the right thing to do.

Therefore, unlike Gu and Liu, Zhengde didn't think about any reasonable surnames and other issues at all, his mind was very simple, the eldest brother said that there was a way, then there must be one, and he didn't have to worry about it at all. There's no need to think about the reason, hasn't it always been like this?

"What's the solution? Big brother, tell me quickly. "There is no questioning, just expectation and urging. The two eunuchs on the side of this scene shook their heads and were envious.

What does it mean to be obedient? That's it, Xie Hong said that he was short of money, and the emperor was not afraid to deal with the courtiers with difficulty; Xie Hong said that the affairs of the Korean envoys were on him, and the emperor made a fool of himself in the court to delay the time, and yesterday's court meeting was furious about this; Not to mention the sentence 'The emperor, please show your sword', it's not just one or two people!

Don't ask the reason, just ask the result, even if one day Lord Xie says that he can make people fly to the sky, Long Live Lord will definitely fly with confidence, such a favor is really enviable.

But the two of them don't have much confidence in the matter of getting silver, the difficulty of this matter is similar to flying to the sky, if it was so easy, the ministers of the DPRK and the Central Committee would have done it a long time ago, and the officials in the palace would have done it a long time ago, would it be your turn to thank you?

Remembering that it was Xie Hong who asked for money yesterday, the two eunuchs lost their confidence and just shook their heads. Don't let the emperor commit suicide or something like that, right? That trick can be used once, but it's not good to use it too much.

"Of course, it's open." Xie Hong said lightly.

This method is very ordinary, not strange at all, the two eunuchs are also relieved, but they don't think so, this Lord Xie really doesn't know how expensive firewood and rice are, how huge the use of the palace is, not to mention the people and horses who have to raise factory guards and imperial horse supervisors, they are all fully paid!

This huge expenditure is a headache even for the household department that controls the treasury, otherwise the income of the Huangzhuang is also a lot, so why should everyone worry?

What kind of store can make so much money when you open a store?

The capital is not Xuanfu, and there are a lot of troubles in opening a store, even if you don't think about these, the store will open smoothly, just like the original Hou Defang, but in addition to coaxing the long-lived Lord to be happy, what can it do? I'm afraid that the little money I earned is not enough for Xie Hong's own use, and the 1,000 border troops plus the civil engineering of Nanzhen Fusi add up to a lot.

"Do you want to open a teahouse like Houdefang? That's interestingly tight. Zhengde is really happy, and the first thing that comes to mind is Houdefang, which shows that the teahouse is still quite successful, at least many people are impressed.

Facing the interested Zhengde, Xie Hong shook his head and said: "That kind of store is also going to be opened, but if you want to make money, you can't rely on it, let's open a store that sells boutiques this time, well, it's called Zhenbao Zhai." ”

"Jumbo Zhai?" Zhengde was surprised, and the two eunuchs were the same, and the ensuing question also blurted out: "Could it be ......?"

"Yes, it's all kinds of treasures, such as music boxes, clocks, pianos and musical instruments, and ...... Anyway, there are a lot, in addition to the finished products that are already available, you can continue to increase the variety in the future......" Xie Hongmei said his own idea.

Except for pure toys such as telescopic swords for Zhengde to play with, the works that Xie Hong has made are all treasures worth thousands of gold, and the two eunuchs are aware of it, but they ...... The two glanced at each other, and Gu Da reminded with hesitation:

"Lord Xie, the treasures you have made are indeed valuable, but you must know that the expenses in the palace are very huge, even if you work all day and night, make two or three pieces, one or Chinese New Year's Eve pieces a month, and then sell them all at a high price of 50,000 taels, a total of 1.5 million taels, but ......" said, the fat man peeked at Xie Hong's face.

"But what?" Xie Hong did not move, and he couldn't see his joy or anger.

Gu Fatzi gritted his teeth and said, "In this way, plus Huangzhuang, it's actually just barely enough." However, if there are twenty or thirty treasures a year, it is not a rare thing, I am afraid that it is not even a treasure, and if you want to sell each piece for more than 50,000 taels, I am afraid it will not be possible. So, you ...... this way"

What Gu Dayong said was very reasonable, and after hearing this, Zhengde, who was originally elated, also became solemn. Rare things are expensive, and the reason why treasures are called treasures is precisely because they are scarce, and if there are too many, the price will not go up.

If you just take a few treasures from the past, whether it is a music box, a piano, or a seven-treasure pagoda, in a prosperous place like the capital, it is possible to sell hundreds of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of taels. But if you take out ten music boxes at the same time, I'm afraid that the sum of ten may not be able to sell for the price of one.

What's more, if you rely on Xie Hong's production alone, I'm afraid that I will tire him to death, thirty in a Chinese New Year's Eve? As far as Zhengde and others know, not to mention, the Seven Treasure Pagoda alone, Xie Hong spent a month at the beginning! It was a lot faster to swing the clock, and it took ten days, less is not good, more is not good, this is really a dilemma.

"It doesn't matter, even if the price drops to a few thousand taels or even a few hundred taels, as long as the quantity goes up, you naturally don't have to worry about the money you can't make." Xie Hong said confidently.

"Huh?" Zhengde was surprised, he hesitated and asked, "Could it be that the industrial revolution you said has now been completed?" ”

If a thing only has a profit of 1,000 taels, if you want to make 1,000,000 taels a year, wouldn't you have to make more than 1,000 pieces? Aside from the industrial revolution that Xie Hong once described, Zhengde couldn't think of any other possible surname.

"Not really, it has to be gradual, but now we have an eyebrow." Xie Hong raised his eyes to look at Liu Jin, and then pulled Zhengde to the apse: "Come on, second brother, you come with me, this matter has to be kept secret, let's talk in private......"

This matter involves Xie Hong's core secret, and once it is leaked, it is likely to cause unnecessary trouble, of course he will not say it in front of Liu Jin.

Gu Dayong's credibility is very high, but the few people who know about confidential matters are still as few as possible, not to mention that he promised Zhengde that he would not bother with Liu Jin, and it was not easy to open his mouth at this time, so he only said that he would drive Liu Jin out, but at the same time he left Gu Dayong.

Therefore, Xie Hong just gave Gu Dayong a comforting look and hinted at him, as for how Gu Dayong complained about Liu Jin after that, it was none of his business Xie Hong.
