When the imperial meal was brought in, it was placed on a small table made of rosewood. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 infoThis couch is a place for Lu Chengqi to take a lunch break on weekdays, and if you put a few small ones, it is a place to entertain guests. You can enjoy tea with the guests here, or play the next game of Go, or have a long talk...... Of course, when the meal is put on at this moment, it becomes a dinner table.

Lu Chengqi's couch, except for Zhou Zhiruo, not many people can be lucky enough to sit on it. In the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty, there are only a few people who have won this honor. Even Xu Chongguang, the first assistant of the cabinet, can only be given to sit, but there is no treatment of sitting on the bed.

This couch is made of rosewood, the whole body is covered with black lacquer, the shape is clumsy, elegant and solemn. The tooth plate is made into a pot door shape, and flower buds are turned out at both ends. There is a ridge line at the upper end of the tooth plate to the legs and feet, and the shoulders are upside down, which makes the tooth plate and the legs and feet integrate, and the ingenuity is not complete. And the couch leg foot is set up under the treadmill, and the lotus leaf-shaped foot is under the couch. The back legs of the couch fall straight, without decoration, and there is a difference between the front and back. The structure of this couch is reasonable, the proportion is moderate, the lines are curved and smooth, vivid and powerful, and the decoration is simple and appropriate. The edge of the couch is made into a plain ice plate, a soft drawer, a tooth plate under the girdle, a light plain without decoration, dug into an arc at both ends, and connected with the three bent legs and feet. The curve of the three bent legs is natural, the horse's hooves are turned out, and the whole curve is smooth and soft. The couch foot is a three-bent leg system, and the three-bent leg is not a rare system, but it is so to achieve the balance of publicity and restraint, the unity of strength and ingenuity, and the handwriting of a master. If the famous artist is here, you will see at a glance that this is the boutique of the couch in the Jin Dynasty, and look at the color of the rosewood, you will know that it has experienced the precipitation of time.

After waving off the palace maid, Lu Chengqi and Zhou Zhiruo took off their shoes and went to bed and had lunch.

Lu Chengqi suddenly asked: "How is the Huangzhuang doing, how much money can there be now?" He also heard Zhou Zhiruo say that he wanted to take the money from the Huangzhuang and feed back to the treasury, so he asked. On weekdays, if Zhou Zhiruo can make money, he doesn't even ask. Huangzhuang is an industry under the name of the royal family, which is equivalent to a state-owned enterprise in later generations, and it doesn't matter how much you earn, as long as you don't lose money, you can get relief from the people.

never thought that in the hands of Zhou Zhiruo, an imperial village that was almost unable to operate would come back to life, not to mention, and even expanded its scale again and again. At this moment, when Zhou Zhiruo said "about ten thousand", Lu Chengqi almost choked: "What?!" So much!!! ”

The treasury is only 17 million guan, but the money in the imperial village is 10,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 This...... This is simply a rich country!

Lu Chengqi was happy for a while, and then suddenly thought of something, and his face sank again. Seeing him like this, Zhou Zhiruo asked cautiously, "Your Majesty, but the concubine didn't do well?" ”

"Alas!" Lu Chengqi shook his head and said, "It's not that Zitong didn't do well, but it was too good, which was beyond my expectations." Zitong is really a business genius, in just two years, he has such a profit. It's just that Huangzhuang has become bigger, but it's not beautiful......"

Zhou Zhiruo asked puzzledly: "Huangzhuang is bigger, but it's not beautiful?" What a reason! ”

Lu Chengqi patiently explained: "Huangzhuang is big, and the industry he does must be the leading boss. If all the money is earned, the people should be resentful. Let the people benefit the people, is the original intention of my development of the Huangzhuang, if the people feel that the Huangzhuang is an obstacle, then the Huangzhuang has no need to exist. ”

Zhou Zhiruo listened to it and thought about it, this is indeed the truth. Take maritime trade as an example, the merchant ships of the imperial court are guaranteed, even if they capsize in the face of strong winds and waves at sea, they will also have profits. Huangzhuang is too fair, this can compensate for the loss, so why don't the traders be tempted? It's just that the other maritime trade fleets are about to be squeezed out. I had to lower the price, even lower than Huangzhuang's, in order to barely keep a bite to eat. After being reminded by Lu Chengqi, Zhou Zhiruo suddenly woke up: "Your Majesty means that Huangzhuang can't be too domineering?" ”

Lu Chengqi said: "That's right, what Huangzhuang wants to do is what the people want to do, but they don't have the ability to do." For example, opening a cotton mill, building a gallop road, etc., these are all major projects, and non-private funds can be leveraged. As for the sea trade, the price can be raised a little, so that the rest of the merchants have something to eat, so as to win their hearts. Of course, the degree must be controlled well, and the leading boss of sea trade must still be Huangzhuang. ”

If Zhou Zhi is worthy of being a business wizard, he can understand it at one point: "Your Majesty's meaning, the concubine probably understands." In other words, the price of Huangzhuang should be raised, so that the merchants who came in with him could make money? ”

"That's pretty much what it means, the quality of Huangzhuang should be guaranteed to be the best, but the price should be the most expensive. You get what you pay for, and this rule can't be broken. Lu Chengqi remembered the four major families in the late Republic of China, who frantically amassed wealth and made the people miserable, which finally led to the loss of the country. If you have money, everyone earns is the last word, and after you have earned it, you are not far from death.

Zhou Zhiruo silently remembered it in her heart and ate her meal slowly. Lu Chengqi pityfully picked up the vegetables for her, and said: "Zitong, you help up the Huangzhuang with one hand, and I know a little bit about it." The rice borers in the original Huangzhuang were all picked out by you and managed with your heart, so that there is today's Huangzhuang. But I am the Son of Heaven, I can't just take care of myself, I still have thousands of people, if they ......"

"Your Majesty's distress, the concubines all understand." Zhou Zhiruo said with a smile, "It's good that there are not so many things in the Huangzhuang, and the concubines can be more leisurely......

Lu Chengqi doesn't know what to say, with such a reasonable wife, what more can a husband ask for? Diverting the topic, he said, "Don't talk about this, I haven't been to the welfare home for a while, how is it there?" ”

Speaking of the welfare home, Zhou Zhiruo's eyebrows danced: "Those children have been educated. Each state capital has a welfare institute under the name of Huangzhuang, and they have also invited Mr. to teach. The welfare institute in Chang'an City has a new batch of orphans, all of whom are top-notch in various state capitals. The concubine thought to herself, if they were cultivated well, His Majesty would definitely have many right-hand men in the future. I can't say that I can't help the ministers, but they all come out from here! ”

Lu Chengqi also had this thought in mind, and laughed and said: "Those who know me, Zitong also!" ”

After the laughter, Lu Chengqi paused and said: "You don't have to force them, let them do whatever they want." Dashun is so big and has so many opportunities, so it's good for them to break out of their own world. ”

Zhou Zhiruo had long regarded these children as his own, and if it weren't for Lu Chengqi, he would be reluctant to let them do so. Hearing Lu Chengqi say this, he was happy in his heart, and he didn't say anything. With Lu Chengqi's words, it's all her business to arrange it in the future.

The two were eating, talking and laughing, and half an hour gradually passed before they could barely finish eating.

When the palace maid came in to clean up the small few, it happened that Gao Hao also hurried in, and said beside Lu Chengqi: "Your Majesty, the Queen Mother has something to summon Your Majesty......"

Lu Chengqi was shocked in his heart, glanced at Zhou Zhiruo, waved his hand and said, "I know, you go down!" (To be continued.) )
