Chapter 16: And the Baby
In the palace garden, a middle-aged man in a golden robe sits by the lake, holding a fishing rod and fishing.
His eyebrows were slightly furrowed, and although his eyes were looking at the lake, his mind didn't seem to be on fishing.
A few gray wisps of sideburns and wrinkles on his face showed that he was no longer young.
This person is the emperor of Donglin County, Qingli.
"Emperor Qi, Zhang Tian, the son of the Duke of Weiguo, has arrived." Fury knelt on the ground and said.
Zhang Tian followed behind him and saluted respectfully.
"Zhang Tian see Your Majesty!"
Qingli put down the fishing rod, turned around and looked at Zhang Tian a few times, and chuckled.
"Calm down, it is rumored in the city that Zhang Yi's son is useless, and when I see it today, the rumors will be self-defeating."
"Yes!"
"You all stand down, I'll talk to Zhang Tian alone."
dismissed the maids and eunuchs on the side, Qingli asked Zhang Tian to sit next to him, and Zhang Tian was not restrained, and sat on a low stool.
"Surely your father would have told you what happened, if it had not been for the drought in the east for several years, and the treasury was empty,
The soldiers who went to the frontier to bathe in blood will not be able to pay their salaries, and I will not pull down my face and make such a decision.
Are you resentful? Qingli held the fishing rod and looked at the lake in the distance and said slowly.
Zhang Tian scolded in his heart, there are so many profitable transactions in this world, do you have to stare at Lao Tzu's lipstick? What else is it that soldiers can't eat, and if they can't eat, it's Lao Tzu's!?
I thought so in my heart, but I couldn't say that, otherwise he would have to give more than 100 catties here for nothing today.
"Zhang Tian doesn't dare! I am willing to hand over the formula, if I can solve the danger in the east, Your Majesty's urgency, why worry about the formula. ”
Hearing this, Qingli was immediately overjoyed, "Very good!" Your Zhang family has paid so much for me, I will be rewarded! ”
Hearing this, Zhang Tian was even more angry, and rewarded Lao Tzu with Lao Tzu's money? It's a good reward, me!
"Thank you, Your Majesty! There's something I want to say below, I don't know..."
Qingli waved his hand, "But it's okay to say it!" ”
"Even if Your Majesty gets the formula, from production to sales, and then to profit, I'm afraid it will take a lot of time, right?" Zhang Tian's eyes turned.
"Well, it will take at least a month or two, why do you ask?" Qingli nodded, puzzled.
"I am willing to give to Your Majesty the factories, workers and shops that are in operation, so that Your Majesty can make a profit immediately after sending someone to take over!"
Qingli froze for a moment, turned his head to look at Zhang Tian on the side, and his surprised expression flashed.
Zhang Tian actually wants to give up the factory shop to him? Isn't this ruining your own job!
"Really?!"
"Naturally, how dare you deceive the saint!" Zhang Tian said in panic.
Seeing the emperor's surprised expression, Zhang Tian sneered in his heart, I didn't expect it, I scared you to death!
The reason why Zhang Tian made this decision was after deep thought, and the formula that the emperor wanted him to make money was to make money.
In the future, if the two sell the same thing, he will inevitably form a competitive relationship with the royal family, and then he will know what the result will be without thinking about it!
Once he has a substantial conflict of interest with the royal family, then he is not far from death, and it will even affect Li Sitong and Dabao, and even the entire Li family.
In the east of this acre of three-point land, how can there be a reason for the royal family to suffer? If you want to play him to death, it's not like you're going to catch him!
Therefore, Zhang Tian might as well take this opportunity to push the boat down the river and give up the factory to the emperor.
Let the emperor taste the sweetness as soon as possible, remember the goodness of his Zhang Tian and the Zhang family, which money can't buy.
Moreover, Zhang Tianke is a man with a system, without lipstick, he still makes some money, and even if the emperor is shameless, it is estimated that he will not be able to open his mouth.
"Haha! Ok, good, good! I remember this love! If you have anything to want, just say it, I will reward you! ”
Qingli laughed, he didn't expect Zhang Tian to be so knowledgeable about current affairs, it was a business of tens of millions or even tens of millions of taels a year, and he actually said let it go!
This courage is beyond the reach of very people!
Qingli squinted at Zhang Tian's slightly immature face, and suddenly had some appreciation.
Hearing the emperor's words, Zhang Tian's eyes lit up, here!
That's what he's waiting for!
"I want to ask Your Majesty for the formula for quenching body fluids and quenching body fluids!"
Qingli was stunned, he thought that Zhang Tian would ask him for a knighthood, official position or something, but he didn't expect to ask for a formula? After a moment's silence, he nodded.
"There are not many quenching body fluids in the royal family, I can only give you six bottles, the formula can be given to you, but the quenching body fluid can only be mixed by the alchemist, what use do you want this thing?"
"Don't hide it from Your Majesty, I like to study these strange things on weekdays, and I want to come to the recipe to observe!" Zhang Tian hurriedly hugged his fists.
"Well, I'm right!"
Zhang Tian clenched his fists, "Thank you, Your Majesty Longen!" ”
After Zhang Tian left, Qingli stared at the ripples on the surface of the lake expressionlessly, and raised the fishing rod violently, only to see the carp that had been fat bite the bait and was taken out of the water.
...
The weather in July is already a bit muggy, and the cicadas are chirping in the woods, and the sound of rustling is a little annoying.
Zhang Tian walked out of the palace with a gloomy face, the reason why he was like this was related to the quenching body fluid formula.
Although the recipe is very detailed, and even has refining steps, most of the medicinal materials required in it are not difficult to find.
But one of them is something that Zhang Tian can't buy now.
That is the Huang Lingguo that Yan Yurou once said!
It is estimated that that that thing can only be found by going to Heiyun Mountain in person, but Zhang Tian's cultivation has only just entered the fifth layer of Qi cultivation, and if he goes at this time, it is obviously still a little dangerous.
Before Zhang Tian could take a few steps forward, he saw Li Dabao and Li Sitong jumping out of a carriage.
"Brother Tian, I heard..."
He waved his hand to interrupt the two who wanted to speak, "Let's go first, find a quiet place and I'll talk to you in detail!" ”
In a private room of a restaurant called 'Tianshang Lou', Zhang Tian told the two of them the details of what happened.
After listening, Li Sitong bit his lip, his eyes were red, and his expression was depressed, which made people feel pity.
Li Dabao scolded angrily, fortunately, the sound insulation of the bag is okay, otherwise it will be heard by others, and Dabao will be cold.
The two of them have been busy working day and night for lipstick, and it can be said that except for the formula provided by Zhang Tian, everything else is running around with them.
Now that it has just achieved great success, but the fruits of victory have been picked by others, who should not be angry?
"Dabao, Sitong, you dissipate your anger, this matter is a foregone conclusion, and it is not worth it to be angry and ruined!"
Zhang Tian saw that the two of them looked lost, and hurriedly comforted.
"It's not Brother Tian, this is too bullying, right?! Isn't this a special robbery! Zhao Dabao sat on the chair and said angrily.
"It's true that it's too deceitful, but why did you agree so easily?" Li Sitong said.
"Hey, what if you don't agree? Who can fight the royal family in the east? Instead of standing on the opposite side, it's better to sell a favor as soon as possible, so that he is embarrassed to worry about my other things! ”
Li Sitong and Zhao Dabao were puzzled, "Something else?" What else do you have to worry about the emperor besides lipstick? ”
Zhang Tian poured a cup of tea, took a sip, and smiled, "Who said I can't make anything other than lipstick?"
Dabao, in addition to his own factory, I will leave a hundred craftsmen and a hundred handymen, and I will be useful. Leave the rest to the royal family! ”
Hearing this, the two were surprised, could it be that Zhang Tian had other treasures that he hadn't taken out? !
"Brother Tian, don't worry about me, tell me quickly, what treasure are you still hiding?" Li Dabao wiped the sweat from his forehead and asked.
"Don't worry, give me two days, and you'll know when the time comes!"
It's not that Zhang Tian is pretending to be mysterious, although he already has an idea in his heart, he hasn't practiced it yet, and he plans to use the system to make it first to tell the two.
Li Sitong looked at Zhang Tian's confident appearance, she sighed faintly, and did not blame Zhang Tian in the slightest.
The current situation is indeed unsolvable, and if you don't hold it, it will only cause more trouble.
