Jinghong originally regarded Zhu Hao as a competitor, but after seeing Zhu Hao's talent, he was greatly impressed, and this time he thought he was speaking for Zhu Hao in a righteous manner, but in the ears of Zhu Youqi and Yuan Zonggao, it was too naïve and childish.

"Alright, you can go back first."

Yuan Zonggao waved his hand to let Jinghong retreat.

After Jinghong went out, Yuan Zonggao looked at Zhu Youqi and asked, "What does King Xing think?" ”

Zhu Youqi got up from his seat with a puzzled expression: "But that Tang Yin, really has such ability, cultivating Zhu Hao in just ten months, can make his talent soar to the point of surpassing talent and lifting people?" ”

Yuan Zonggao said: "King Ning is the opposite, if Tang Yin is really as amazing and brilliant as the legend, he will definitely not stay in Nanchang for a long time, and the palace may take the opportunity to recruit him...... Even if it is just to make him the teacher of the prince, it is a thing worth celebrating for the royal palace. ”

The two had talked about Tang Yin's talent before and thought about taking it for their own use, but after all, Tang Yin did not take the initiative to contact Xingwangfu, and Xingwangfu never threw an olive branch.

"Yuan Changshi, you can handle it as appropriate, the position of teaching in the palace must always find a capable person to take on it." The implication is that Zhu Youqi entrusted the errand of recruiting Tang Yin to Yuan Zonggao.

I just had that idea before, but now I have to put it into action, try to get in touch with Tang Yin, and then see if he has any plans to join the Xingwang Mansion.

Yuan Zonggao saluted respectfully: "I'll arrange it here." ”

……

……

After Jing Hong saw King Xing and Yuan Zonggao, he went back with a lot of trouble.

When he saw Zhu Hao in the afternoon, he didn't dare to face it head-on, for fear that Zhu Hao would be driven out of Xingwangfu and become a shameful accomplice.

"Zhu Hao, Xiaosi and I can show our faces in front of our father today, or do you teach well...... Of course, Mr. Gongsun also has credit, he left the teaching to you, and this is the smartest thing about him. ”

When Zhu San came to the school, his smile was unusually bright.

In front of her father, she praised Gongsun Yi's excellent teaching quality, but in fact, she pretended to be confused and did it intentionally.

Zhu Si said: "It's a pity that I didn't ask my father for a reward, otherwise it's good to go out of the palace to watch a play." ”

Since watching "Three Dozen White Bone Spirits" with Zhu Hao, Zhu Si has always been thinking about the situation on the stage from time to time recently, and his learning seems to be progressing rapidly, but that is mainly due to Zhu Hao's proper teaching methods, in fact, he did not put all his mind into reading.

Zhu Houxi's qualifications are very high, but he can't completely concentrate on learning, like his sister, he is too playful.

Zhu Hao's eyes fell on Jing Hong and asked, "It seems that Yuan Changshi also called you and told you something?" ”

"I didn't ...... Didn't say anything. ”

Jing Hong's inner worries were all written on his face.

But he still wanted to pretend to be casual, and didn't dare to directly explain it to Zhu Hao.

Zhu Hao secretly speculated that it was impossible for the palace not to know how many catties and taels Gongsun Yi had, and once he found that Zhu San and Zhu Si had accelerated their learning progress, they would definitely suspect that there was something else.

When I called Jing Hong over for questioning, I was probably asking about the situation in class.

Zhu Hao is not very worried that he will be targeted by the palace, I will help you teach the prince, you don't thank me, and you want to drive me away? What is the rationale for this?

If you really want to think that I have ulterior motives and deliberately targeted, then it is not interesting for me to stay in the palace, anyway, I already know Zhu Houxi, after I go out, I will find a new place to study, three days of fishing, two days of drying nets, isn't it better than nesting in Xingwangfu and coming to class every day?

At this time, Zhu Hao didn't care so much about whether he stayed in the palace, and he was a little tired of reading this identity.

All the things that are familiar with the chest, I have to stay in the classroom again, it is extremely boring, he now wants to go out and break through, go to Daming everywhere to see, but unfortunately age is always a big problem, and now he has no fame, it is too inconvenient to go to the field.

Just thinking about his thoughts, Gongsun appeared at the door of the school with a radiant face, without a lesson plan in his hand, and only took a copy of "Mencius" and came to class. When he arrived at the podium, he looked at Zhu Hao with a smile, knowing that he had taken advantage of Zhu Hao a lot.

"I'm going to give a lecture, so I'll read it to you first, and you have to memorize the chapters and verses, and it's almost over...... Let Zhu Hao tell you what he thinks, let's get started! ”

Zhu San stuck out his tongue when he heard this.

This gentleman really didn't treat Zhu Hao as an outsider, this class has completely become Zhu Hao's stage, so why do you want Gongsun Yi to come? Just look good in a vase there?

……

……

The days of the palace passed day by day.

In the blink of an eye, it has entered the wax moon.

As the temperature dropped to freezing, the salt stalls outside the city basically stopped, and it would not be possible to produce salt on a large scale until the next year, but Su Xigui's demand for refined salt did not stop.

At the beginning of the month, Su Xigui went to Anlu in person, wanting to talk to Zhu Niang about why the "salt screening" has stopped recently, is it possible that your salt screening is still affected by the weather and seasonal changes? Or is it not sieved salt at all, but refined salt made by other methods?

After Zhu Niang learned that Su Xigui was coming, she didn't dare to face it, and kept saying that she couldn't get sick.

On the afternoon of the fourth day of the lunar month, after Zhu Hao went home, Zhu Niang took Zhu Hao to a tea house next to Su Xigui's inn to meet him.

"Mrs. Zhu, you really make the contemptible people wait, it's been three days in the local area before I see you, this refined salt business has lasted for half a year, and now the supply is suddenly a big decrease, are you looking for a better buyer, and you plan to part ways with me Su? Don't forget who helped you when you were in trouble! ”

Su Xigui made trouble when he came up.

Su Xigui actually wanted to know how Zhu Niang got so much refined salt.

Based on his news channels, he found out that Zhu Niang was secretly still selling salt, thinking that Zhu Niang was selling refined salt, but after careful investigation, he found out that Zhu Niang had sold the salt he gave.

When the cooperation between the two sides was happy, Su Xigui naturally turned a blind eye, but now that Zhu Niang has less salt, of course he has to come to find trouble.

Zhu Niang wanted to apologize, but Zhu Hao on the side smiled and grabbed the white: "Su Dongzhu, you should have made a lot of money in the past six months, right?" ”

Su Xigui squinted at Zhu Hao.

There was something different in his eyes, and after a while he said: "Young Master Zhu, I haven't seen you for half a year, you are as sharp as ever, you don't want to think about it, how much salt have you offered?" This little bit of salt...... At most, it is to maintain the daily consumption of those wealthy families and make a name, as for making money...... Hehe, it's a drop in the bucket. ”

Zhu Hao said: "Listen to what the owner Su meant, do you want to take our recipe back and make a lot of money?" With the manpower and material resources you have, you want to make money...... Isn't it easier? ”

Su Xigui smiled, no longer hidden, nodded and said, "If there is really such a formula, the price is easy to say." ”

Simple and crude!

How much salt can you sift out for me in the hands of you little households? Why don't you sell me the recipe, and I'll find more people to do it, wouldn't that be much more efficient than you?

Zhu Niang hurriedly said, "We won't sell it." ”

Su Xigui's face suddenly darkened when he heard this.

Zhu Hao said: "It's not that Fang Zi can't give it to you, after all, we can't make a lot of money in our hands, but this can make Su Dongzhu make a lot of money...... But I'm afraid that when we want to ask for benefits at that time, the owner of the Su will turn his face and deny people! ”

Su Xigui frowned: "Is the contemptible person the kind of person who crosses the river and demolishes the bridge and is ungrateful?" ”

"We naturally believe in the proprietor of the Su Dynasty, but the problem is that the interests involved behind this are too great, and even more, Huang Fantai will report this recipe to the imperial court, which may bring revolutionary changes to the Daming salt industry, and will be of great help to Huang Fantai's career, this back and forth ......."

What Zhu Hao means is that this recipe can't be sold, but it depends on the value.

Su Xigui looked at Zhu Hao eagerly: "You can make a price." ”

Zhu Hao was about to say something, but Zhu Niang hurriedly went to pull her son's hand...... It's an exclusive money-making business, why give the secret recipe to someone else?

Zhu Hao smiled comfortingly at Zhu Niang, turned to Su Xigui, and looked firm: "Ten thousand taels, plus the profits of the Su proprietor in the future in the sale of refined salt, we will take one percent." ”

"What!?"

Su Xigui immediately got up and looked at Zhu Hao coldly, "It's really a lion's big mouth, 10,000 taels...... Why don't you grab it? ”

Even Zhu Niang was extremely shocked, what happened to her son today?

said that it was just to explain the reason why the salt could not be supplied, and to discuss the follow-up of the salt in the coming year, why did the son come up and talk about selling the secret recipe?

Zhu Hao said: "Lord Su, you are a shrewd person, don't you know how big the interests are behind this business?" You should have found out that our salt is not sifted out of the salt you provide at all, but made by ourselves, so you don't want to know how we orphans and widows can make so many good snowflake salts? ”

Zhu Niang hurriedly got up and pulled her son: "Lord Su, please forgive me, I won't talk about the business for the time being." ”

"Don't, don't!"

Who is Su Xigui?

10,000 taels ......

In Zhu Niang's ears, it was an astronomical amount, and she had made a lot of money in business for half a year, but the part that was removed to the Zhu family was only three or four hundred taels, mainly because the business of drying salt depends on the sky, and it was very difficult for Anlu to dry salt after autumn, and the bitter brine that naturally seeped out of the surface in the surrounding areas was less and less, the resources were not sufficient, and the output was also greatly limited.

But for Su Xigui...... The price is fair.

It's just that he doesn't want to give a portion of the profits to Zhu Niang's mother and son, if the business is negotiated, there will be tens of thousands of taels or even hundreds of thousands of taels of income a year, and when the time comes, give Zhu Niang a percent, wouldn't he suffer a big loss?

Zhu Hao said: "Mother, after all, we are not a wealthy family, we really can't afford to do a long-term deal with this recipe, it is better to sell it to others than to sell it to Su Dongzhu...... Didn't we think about such a day when we first cooperated with Su Dongzhu? ”

Zhu Niang would never have sold salt recipes, but after listening to Zhu Hao's words, she felt that it was very reasonable.

This half a year is to make a lot of money, but from beginning to end in fear to spend the time, the son is now in the palace to study, the future is promising, and then continue to do the salt dealer smuggling salt, once the consequences of the accident are unimaginable.

Earn 10,000 taels of silver steadily, isn't it fragrant?

Su Xigui said with a smile: "It's still Young Master Zhu who has a brain, it's good to hold this business in his own hands, but no matter how secret the recipe is, there will still be a day when outsiders will know about it, and it will be worthless at that time, so it's better to make a big profit while no one knows, this is the way to make money!" ”
