Chapter 61: Be careful
With Zhu Hao here, everything has a ready-made plan, and Yu San, as the executor, only needs to complete it step by step.
But Zhu Hao said it first.
"Little third brother, we have to say ugly things in front...... I am the majority shareholder of this business, but you are a legal person, if something happens, you have to take responsibility, after all, 30% of the profit is not given for nothing...... Of course, although you say that you don't lose money, you can't treat this business as a child's play, and you must do your best. β
Yu San asked puzzledly, "What is a legal person?" β
Zhu Hao said solemnly, "It means that you are the main person in charge, in the eyes of outsiders, you are the big shopkeeper of the bookstore, but the bulk of the money and profits fall on my side...... The accounts must be clear, all expenses and inputs must be recorded, I will come to check the accounts at any time, and if I find that the accounts are not correct, I will replace them. β
Yu San patted his chest and said, "Brother Hao, who do you think of me?" How could I do that thing that is profitable and forgetful? Besides......"
He was about to say something, but he paused again.
Zhu Hao smiled slightly, knowing what he wanted to say, to the effect that the majority of my money still fell on your mother, if I forgot my righteousness in order to partner with you to do a small business, then I will not only not be able to help your mother make money in the future, but I will probably not be able to gain a foothold in Anlu.
β¦β¦
β¦β¦
Yu San usually has a hippie smile, but he has a very good way of doing things.
With a wide range of people, it is not perfunctory to be able to arrange it by himself, what does Zhu Hao want to do to find him, in the case of not knowing the local environment and the distribution of forces, it can be said to be a powerful helper.
After half a day, Zhu Hao felt that his money was well spent.
At noon, Zhu Hao had dinner at home, and told Zhu Niang that he would return to the palace in the late afternoon, and Zhu Niang asked strangely: "Xiaohao, you can go back early tomorrow morning, why don't you stay at home to accompany your mother, aunt and sister?" β
Zhu Hao said: "Mother, I want to go back to the palace as soon as possible to understand the situation, find out useful information, and complete the errand assigned by my grandmother as soon as possible, I also want to take advantage of the rest to play with the prince of Xingwang and cultivate a good relationship, so I ......"
Zhu Niang saw that Zhu Hao had a lot of ideas, so she didn't have much doubts, and immediately nodded in agreement.
β¦β¦
β¦β¦
After lunch without rest, Zhu Hao went out of the city and arranged for people to renovate the salt pans to meet the demand for salt drying in autumn and winter.
It was not early to come back, so I called Yu San to ask about the rental of the site, and learned that everything was going well, and the vacant land itself did not need to spend any rent, but it was just necessary to say hello to the government and the local security.
"Brother Hao, the silver we spent is almost three taels, and those carpenters are hurrying to work, what if the silver is not enough by then?"
Yu San was a little worried.
Five taels of silver seems like a lot, but if you really want to support the faΓ§ade and do business, it is still stretched.
Zhu Hao said with a smile: "The shed is set up, and then you can invite a storyteller back, it won't cost much...... By the way, I remember that there are storytelling venues in the east and south of the city, have you ever been there? β
Yu San nodded and said, "I've seen it, but it's not cheap to invite someone...... If you pay it monthly, you will need 300 wen for more than 20 days a month. β
"You can't save any money that should be spent, and the quality of Mr. Storyteller is directly related to the prosperity of the bookstore business, and you can't be sloppy. I'll leave you the book.,You can start the story at any time after you recruit people.,At first, there are few people who don't charge money.,Lose money and make money.,Wait until the story reaches the critical moment and then charge...... If you really can't do it, you can go up and talk about it yourself......"
Speaking of this, Zhu Hao looked at Yu San with a smile.
Yu San hurriedly waved his hand: "I don't have that ability, it's better to ask a serious storyteller to be safe, it's no problem for me to start by the side." β
Zhu Hao nodded: "I'll give you a book first, I haven't finished writing it yet, you have to cheer up, don't let people cheat the book, how to arrange you to be in charge." β
Yu San's voice raised an octave: "Brother Hao, you see, if someone dares to deceive us, he will not have a good life!" β
β¦β¦
β¦β¦
Yu San said ruthlessly with confidence, but Zhu Hao knew that Yu San was pretending more often.
If Yu San really has such great ability, why can't he help every time Zhu Niang has an accident?
But think about it carefully, every time Zhu Niang encounters trouble, it is related to the persecution of the Zhu family and the government, even if Yu San has some local forces, he really doesn't dare to fight with the official family.
If it's just a conflict of interest between the small people in the market and Yu San, Yu San can't say that he still has some means.
Zhu Hao took advantage of the sunset to return to the Xingwang Mansion.
Lu Song was taking people to arrange a shelf in the yard, and he was really surprised to see Zhu Hao come back.
"Lu Dianzhan, what are you busy with? Do you want me to help? Zhu Hao seemed very enthusiastic.
Lu Song looked at the subordinates around him, and some of them were covering their mouths and snickering.
Lu Song immediately shouted with a straight face: "How tall are you?" If you stay away from this kind of thing, the shelf will fall apart and smash you, but you will ask for hardship. β
Lu Song maintained his usual indifferent attitude towards Zhu Hao, so as not to be noticed that the two were colluding in private, but after the shelf was almost set up, he still called Zhu Hao aside.
"Why not spend the night at home? Why do you come back so early? β
Lu Song's tone was full of vigilance.
Zhu Hao said: "I'm a small child, and I can't help if I stay at home...... I want to adapt to this environment as soon as possible, after all, I will probably have to live in the palace for most of the next many years...... Lu Dianzhan, isn't Xingwangfu also half of your home? β
Lu Song was quite surprised when he heard Zhu Hao's affectionate words.
You kid, will you take Xingwangfu as your home?
Zhu Hao asked, "Why are you building a shelf in the yard?" β
"It's none of your business."
Lu Song did not explain.
Zhu Hao smiled, disapproving Lu Song's vigilance...... If you want to get rid of the control of Jinyiwei as soon as possible, then we should cooperate sincerely and sort out the relatively less important situation of Xingwangfu, so that there is something to report every ten years, and it will not really damage the interests of Xingwangfu.
"By the way, Lu Dianzhan, when I passed by Wangfu West Street, I saw a long queue of carriages coming, and it didn't look like it was owned by ordinary rich families, who came to the palace?" Zhu Hao continued to ask.
Lu Song glared at Zhu Hao: "Don't ask what you shouldn't ask, I will naturally tell you what I can tell you." β
After saying that, he left with a black face, as if he was carrying some ulterior secret.
Zhu Hao pouted.
I thought, if you don't tell me, you will definitely not tell Lin Baihu that you have so many secrets in your heart, sooner or later you will wear out Lin Baihu's patience, and it will be a big trouble to expose your secrets at that time.

The Royal Study.
Yuan Zonggao is reporting to Zhu Youqi.
King Ning sent an envoy to see Zhu Youqi, but was sent away by Yuan Zonggao.
"Ning Fan has lived in Jiangjiang for a long time, and he doesn't have much contact with my vast lake, why did he suddenly send an envoy to visit?" Zhu Youqi frowned slightly, and his face was full of puzzlement.
Yuan Zonggao's face was worried: "This King Ning has been very restless since he became a concubine in the tenth year of Hongzhi, and in the second year of Zhengde, he bribed his close ministers Liu Jin, Qian Ning, Lingren Zang Xian and others to raise outlaws...... If it succeeds, Jiangjiang and even Huguang will not be peaceful. β
"Oh?"
Zhu Youqi didn't take it too seriously.
He himself has no ambition to rebel, although his son is nominally the first heir to the throne, but he knows that even if Emperor Zhengde dies suddenly, there are still doubts about whether his son can successfully ascend to the throne, after all, if the empress dowager and the minister are opposed, it will still be difficult to successfully enter the Forbidden City.
As for King Ning......
He usually has no contacts, so naturally he will not care about the affairs of Jiang Gandi.
Yuan Zonggao continued: "Since last year, Jiang and Jiangxi have been making trouble with bandits, even Nanchang Mansion has not stopped, and even implicated the Huguang territory, all of this may be related to King Ning, otherwise he has no excuse to restore or even expand the guards and horses...... This time the envoy came to visit, and after a brief exchange with the envoy, he heard that his words were disrespectful to the imperial court, and he immediately rejected...... King Xing should not have any contact with King Ning again to avoid telling the truth. β
At present, the ambition of Zhu Chenhao, the king of Ning, is growing rapidly, and during the Zhengde period, because of the emperor's nonsense, there was great chaos in the administration of various places.
There were a large number of traitors in the court who relied on the emperor to get in, occupied a high position in a short period of time, and their lives were frequent, causing the people's resentment to boil, which made Zhu Chenhao see the opportunity to realize his ambitions.
Zhu Chenhao naturally wanted to win over the vassal kings in the surrounding areas of Jiangjiang, especially those who were famous and powerful, so that he could get financial, material and even human support when he got into trouble, so as to cause the effect of the world's mass response.
Zhu Youqi said: "The matter of the Ning Domain will be handed over to Yuan Changshi to solve." β
Yuan Zonggao arched his hand: "I will deal with it properly." β
Zhu Youqi suddenly thought of something again, and asked, "The two companions still have the study ...... the son?"
"King Xing can rest assured."
Yuan Zonggao said, "I have told Sui Jiaoxi to concentrate on teaching the prince, and only set aside a little time to teach the county lord and a few children, so as to make a difference between priorities and priorities...... If King Xing cares about the school's studies, he can call him to the school at any time. β
Zhu Youqi nodded: "Speaking of which, I haven't been admitted to the school for some days, Yuan Changshi, you can arrange it." β
β¦β¦
β¦β¦
Night fell again.
Zhu Hao was writing under the candlestick, I don't know how long it took, he suddenly felt tired, he couldn't help but get up and stretch, walked to the courtyard outside, and found a stone step to sit down.
At this time, it is autumn, and the wind is a little cool.
Zhu Hao looked up at the shelf in front of him, and after thinking about it for a long time, he didn't know what it was for.
The courtyard was quiet, there was no one around, Zhu Hao got up and came to the door, opened the door and looked out, and immediately two patrolling guards came over, one of them shouted at Zhu Hao: "Go back!" β
Zhu Hao said: "I heard movement outside, so I opened the door and took a look...... Did you hear that? β
The guard didn't answer, and was about to come over to catch people away, Zhu Hao stuck out his tongue, hurriedly retreated to the courtyard, and closed the courtyard gate as soon as possible, but there was no latch.
Lu Song instructed that the guards would come back to rest at any time at night, and the door must be kept at all times.
In the huge courtyard, there was only Zhu Hao, he walked around the shelf for a long time, suddenly thought of something, went back to the house and took a summer dress that he didn't wear, dipped it in water, and threw it directly.
Early the next morning, some guards who were about to go home discovered Zhu Hao's "masterpiece".
Someone directly stretched out his hand and took off Zhu Hao's clothes.
"Hey, what are you doing?"
Just at this time, Zhu Hao came out, and the guards stopped when they saw it, and shouted loudly.
Zhu Hao looked aggrieved: "I wet the bed last night, I had no choice but to take the wet clothes to the yard to dry, and I found that it ......was just right to hang here for a long time."
"Huh?"
When the man heard this, he found that the clothes on his hands were wet, as if he had been bitten by a snake, and immediately threw them to the ground.
"Hahahaha......"
The guards next to him were laughing, thinking that the man was looking for trouble, and he had a hand of urine.
Zhu Hao hurriedly went over and picked it up: "Don't throw it on the ground." β
The guard almost wanted to fight with Zhu Hao, but he didn't dare to be really rude...... Zhu Hao has a special status in the palace, and he does not belong to the same system as them, and they can't figure out what the consequences of teaching Zhu Hao a lesson are, and they don't dare to take risks.
"This is a grape trellis, which you use to hang clothes? Still peeing? Hmph, it seems that in the future, the nobles of the palace will eat grapes and stain your kid's filth! β
Or are these guards real?
is not as much as Lu Song's heart.
It turned out to be a grape trellis!
Planting grapes in the yard where I live, are you not afraid that I will poison the grapes?
Looks like I won't be able to stay in this yard for long!
