Because he became Wanli's grandson, Zhu Cheng also had to stay in the palace to guard his spirit. Taking advantage of the fact that no one was paying attention, Zhu Cheng handed Zhu Youzhen and Zhu Youxiao brothers a pair of cotton sleeves each. The two were very surprised, and Zhu Youzhen asked: "Brother Cheng, what are you doing with this cotton sleeve in this big summer?" ”

Since Guocheng changed his name to Zhu Cheng, Zhu Youzhen has openly called him Brother Cheng. Zhu Cheng said: "This cotton sleeve is not for you to put on your hands, but on your knees." During this time, I have to kneel a lot, and wearing this will make my knees a little more comfortable. ”

The two nodded in unison, their knees have really suffered in the past few days, and they have knelt in the world. If the wakes are okay and there are cotton mats to cushion, if you do things or go outdoors and kneel directly on the ground, your legs will really not be able to stand it.

The three of them were talking in a whisper, and Wang An came over and said, "Lord Zhu Chengzhu, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince invites you to go." ”

Zhu Cheng said in his heart, it's not good. The prince may still be thinking about the perfume workshop. What to do? It will definitely not be possible to hand it over, with the greedy and stupid personality of the prince, the perfume workshop will be in his hands for less than a month, and it will be finished, and then the perfume formula will leak and the perfume sales will stagnate, this risk cannot be taken at all. Zhu Cheng thought twice in his heart, and finally had some calculations, it is now July 24th, the crown prince ascended the throne on August 28th, and he will be hung on September 26th.

The prince was dressed plainly, sitting in front of the dragon book case, his face was sinking like water, and he looked like a filial son with great bitterness and hatred, but the corners of his eyebrows and eyes showed a pride that could not be concealed.

Zhu Cheng entered the palace and kowtowed to the prince, and said: "The prince Zhu Cheng has seen the emperor, long live my emperor, long live, long live." ”

The crown prince raised his eyebrows, obviously extremely happy to hear this, but said modestly: "You can't call me that, my father is very good, and he is sad in his lonely heart, and he is not in the mood to pay attention to this enthronement." If my father can live a long life, I would like to be the prince of a generation. ”

Zhu Cheng said: "The country can't be without a king for a day, the first emperor is here, the micro-minister listens to the first emperor, the prince is here, and the micro-minister listens to the prince." ”

The prince said happily: "It's excellent that you can understand the general situation like this, it seems that my father's vision is clever, and he has taken a fancy to you as a loyal minister." Lone took a special look at the righteous grandson selected by his father today. ”

"Is there anything else the emperor has to do?"

"No, okay, Zhu Cheng, you're fine."

"Then Weichen will retire."

"Okay, there you go."

Zhu Cheng retreated to the door and was about to go out, when the eldest son suddenly shouted, "Zhu Cheng, you come back." ”

Zhu Cheng had no choice but to turn around and come back.

"I almost got by you."

Zhu Cheng said in his heart, that is because you get carried away, but you can't complain about others.

Zhu Cheng asked helplessly: "Long live Shengming, I don't know what else to ask Weichen?" ”

"Don't you want to talk about the perfume workshop? I asked the manager of the inner library, and he said that he had never seen any silver from the children's playground. ”

"That is the emperor who took pity on the emperor and grandson, seeing that he was lonely, and transferred all the income of the perfume workshop to the emperor and grandson. Later, seeing that the income of the perfume workshop continued to increase, the palace did not release the monthly money of all the guards, eunuchs, and maids in the children's paradise, and let the emperor and grandson deal with it himself. ”

"I remember how it was different from what you said last time?"

"That was the emperor's dictation, which made Weichen keep his mouth shut."

"Why did you say it again today?"

Zhu Chengxin said, isn't it that you still have supreme power in your hands? Of course, this can only be said in my heart, but on the surface, he said: "Once the son of heaven and a courtier, now the emperor is in great power, and the prince is the monarch of Weichen." For the way of the minister, loyalty is the head, and it is natural to tell the truth. ”

When the prince heard this, he smiled and said, "Then tell me about the annual income of the perfume workshop." ”

"The total income of the perfume workshop, the towel weaving bureau, and the soap manufacturing hall last year was 210,000 taels of silver, and the total ticket income of the children's park was 1,oooo two silver."

The crown prince almost fell off the throne: "2, 2, 2, 21o taels of silver, this is 1o thousand taels more than last year's treasury income, Zhu Cheng, are you bragging?" ”

Zhu Cheng said: "I'm talking about net income, and the cost has been deducted. ”

The prince stood up, paced around, and muttered, "21o thousand taels, 21o million taels, how much can this do." The emperor was so stupid that he would rather send the mine supervisor to the place to loot than collect the perfume workshop, the three melons and two dates looted in the place can be worth a few taels of silver, how many taels does this perfume workshop collect in a year. ”

Zhu Chengbei starts from the heart, is Wanli stupid? That's righteousness and love. He would rather be scolded by the minister, leave a notoriety in the history books, and save tens of millions of belongings for his children and grandchildren. Wanli left you a world and tens of millions of taels of savings, and gave your brother tens of millions of taels of silver, did he frown? Wanli didn't know the income of the children's paradise, but he didn't think about it at all, and said, I can't give the emperor any property, but it's okay to give some people and help. This is the collapse of Ning Yuanbo and Peng Chengbo, and the end of Shuntian Mansion Yin.

The prince suddenly stood up and asked, "How many taels of silver does Jian'er have now?" ”

Guocheng's heart sank suddenly, listening to the prince's meaning, not only to take away the perfume workshop, but also to empty all the savings of the emperor and grandson. This is really the chicken that lays the golden eggs to take away, and the eggs laid by the chicken to take all the eggs to be taken. Zhu Changluo is about to ascend the throne, rich in the world, and competing with his son for profit, which is enough to make people's teeth cold. Not only that, but he also wants to take away the money that his son earned before, which is really forcing people into a corner. Compared with Wanli, this Zhu Changluo is not as good as a passerby.

Guocheng said: "I haven't counted it, there are probably 100,000 or 80,000 left." ”

The prince stared at Guocheng suspiciously and asked, "You didn't lie to me, did you?" ”

"Weichen didn't dare. The 210,000 taels of silver were received only last year, and after the account was repaid, there was not much left. In the past, the products of the children's paradise were only sold in the capital, with an annual income of 3o thousand taels of silver. Ah Jian and I felt that we were making too little money, so we contacted the chamber of commerce of the thirteen provinces in the capital and asked them to sell perfumes, towels, soaps and other items all over the country. At the time of cooperation, the output of children's playgrounds is far from meeting the requirements of the Chamber of Commerce. For this reason, the emperor took out all his savings, and borrowed money from the Chamber of Commerce to buy land in Miyun to build a large workshop, which produced enough goods and earned the 21o taels of silver. ”

The prince thought about it, he was reluctant to let the child catch the wolf, he still had to spend what he should spend, anyway, it was not his own, forget it, if he really emptied Zhu Youzhen's pocket and spread it, it would damage his reputation, so he said: "That's it, you and Jian'er can keep the ticket income of the children's park." Give me all the perfumes, towels, and soap, and it can be regarded as a contribution to the Ming Dynasty. ”

Sure enough, Zhu Cheng said sincerely, see how I fool you.

"Holy Lord, can you postpone it for two months, September 3o, and then hand over these industries, skilled workers, and sales networks to His Majesty in a complete and complete manner?"

"What are you kidding, these workshops have an income of more than 100,000 yuan a month, I, oh no, I'm lonely and waiting for the money, how can it be late. I'm thinking that it's better to hand over all the property to me tonight. ”

"The saint doesn't know, the first is that Ah Jian still has more than 200,000 loans left to repay, and two months can just make up for this hole."

"Isn't it true that the inspection child will repay 100,000 yuan, and it can be repaid in one month, where can I use it for two months?"

Zhu Cheng couldn't help but shake his head secretly in his heart, this Zhu Changluo couldn't help but be too anxious, this is your son, not an enemy, I didn't see you so excited to deal with Jiannu, but I couldn't help but be impatient to deal with my son, it was really a mouse carrying a gun.

"The second is that the workers need to be rectified, the workshop needs to be repaired, and the sales network needs to be handed over, all of which are all my responsibility, but in the past few months, I have to work hard for the emperor, and I have to deal with these problems in a hurry. Hooray, please think about it, the perfume workshop was collected tonight, how to prevent the workers from leaking secrets; If the tile of the workshop is broken, it will leak, and if the wall is crooked, it is in danger of collapsing; Which province has perfumes that are not easy to sell, why, and which province is hoarding perfumes waiting to be resold. Do you know all these questions? Have you figured out a way to deal with it? ”

Zhu Changluo was dizzy by this series of questions, and said, "There is such trouble, isn't it sitting in the room to collect money?" ”

"Of course it's not that easy. If it weren't for Banzai's reward for a shop located in a densely populated area, and the running of Ah Jian and me, the children's paradise would not be what it is today. ”

"Alas, what a trouble. Zhu Cheng, you will help me manage the perfume workshop for two more months, and I will hand in the formula of the perfume today. ”

"What does the emperor want the formula of the perfume to do?"

Zhu Changluo's face turned red, and he was always embarrassed to say, I'm afraid you won't give it. He cheekily said, "I want to see it." ”

Zhu Cheng sighed and said: "Long live I don't know, the workers in the perfume workshop all work in sections, just because I am afraid that they will know the formula of the perfume." There are also some managers in the workshop who know the formula, and the children's park is raising them with high salaries, for fear that they will leak secrets. Today, it is easy for me to leave the formula, but long live you think about it, once this formula spreads, these industries will collapse quickly, and the annual income may only be tens of thousands of taels of silver. There is no insurance in the palace. ”

"When the time comes, how will I make perfume?"

"Ah Jian didn't know the formula of the perfume, and I once wanted to sue him, but he refused, saying that the pressure of secrecy was too great. The production of perfume does not require the involvement of the emperor, the managers in the workshop know how to operate, you only need to control the few people who know the secret recipe. ”

Zhu Changluo nodded and said, "Then it's up to you, on September 3o, I will take away these workshops and storefronts." ”

Zhu Cheng returned to the mourning hall, and Zhu Youzhen asked with concern: "What is the matter with your father?" ”

Zhu Cheng told Zhu Youzhen about the prince's words and deeds, and Zhu Youxiao gritted his teeth when he heard it on the side, and said: "How can the emperor be like this, I'll reason with him." The prosecutor will be a king in the future, and his income will all depend on the court's appropriations, and his life must be very tight, and now he has finally found a way to make money, how can he rob it? ”

Zhu Youzhen's tears rolled down like pearls with broken threads, he was not sad about the imminent loss of these industries, but sad for Zhu Changluo's viciousness.

Seeing Zhu Youzhen's tears, Zhu Youxiao was so angry that he stomped his feet and shouted to find the prince, which frightened Li Jinzhong and hugged the imperial grandson.

Zhu Cheng said: "Shao'an is not impatient, I have used these two months to think of a foolproof strategy, maybe the emperor has changed his mind, maybe I have developed a new product, in short, the emperor's grandfather asked me to take good care of and protect you before his death, I will definitely do it." ”

Zhu Youzhen looked at Zhu Cheng with teary eyes, saw his firm expression, and nodded vigorously, expressing his complete belief in Zhu Cheng.
