The Royal Study.

Zhang Zuo took the first batch of samples and handed them to Zhu Youqi, and his face could not hide his joy.

"Lord Wang, the first batch of telescopes has been completed, and in less than five days, all the tributes can be completed, you see, the shape is exquisite, ingenious, look out the window...... Clearly, tightly. ”

Zhang Zuo smiled and promoted.

Take the money to do things, of course, you have to spare no effort!

Zhang Zuo is also a layman, if the responsibility was all on Zhu Hao before, then now he is in the same boat as Zhu Hao, and he will also be jointly and severally liable if something goes wrong.

Zhu Youqi stood at the window, took the newly made telescope for verification, and nodded again and again: "It feels better and clearer than the previous one." ”

"Yes, Lord Wang, Zhu Hao said that this kind of telescope has a larger aperture and can see farther, plus the copper body outside is more stable than the original bamboo tube, and there is no problem with telescoping back and forth many times, so it is convenient for people to adapt quickly...... Lord Wang, I have to say, this thing is really not expensive for twenty taels. ”

Zhang Zuo tried his best to help Zhu Hao tout, and he recommended it very hard.

Zhu Youqi nodded.

said that twenty taels are cheap, and Zhu Youqi is not the kind of stupid prince who "why not eat minced meat", how can he not know what the meaning of twenty taels of silver is in the people?

hired Tang Yin to be a staff member in the palace, and only gave less than ten taels of silver a month.

Two thousand taels ......

I have been able to hire Tang Yin to work for the palace for 20 years.

Zhang Zuo seemed to see Zhu Youqi's thoughts, and said with a smile: "Zhu Hao said that this time he will make more lenses, in order to ensure that there will be no accidents during the transportation of the telescope, but I think there should be no loss, and the extra part will ...... Why don't you transport five more to the Beijing Division, and leave five in the palace? ”

"Oh?"

Zhu Youqi looked at Zhang Zuo, but he didn't expect that the two thousand taels bought back were not a hundred, but one hundred and ten.

If you want to talk about this part of the balance, Zhang Zuo could not have said it, and then he would have dealt with it, but he has always been interested in the palace, and he has already taken five hundred taels from the payment for the goods, and made a net profit of about four hundred taels, so he will not go to the idea of fighting these ten telescopes.

"The Son's side...... Didn't you confiscate one before? Give a son...... The prince should be regarded as a reward for the prince's hard work during this time......"

Zhang Zuo reminded with a smile.

Zhu Youqi thought of his son, and his eyes were a little softer.

Working hard for the court and volunteering to do a telescope, maybe it will be involved in the power struggle of the court, isn't everything for the son?

The son is all his hope.

"Then leave one for the fourth child...... How's that? ”

Zhu Youqi looked at the sample in his hand, it was indeed very exquisite.

Zhang Zuo said with a smile: "The prince has the final say, anyway, Zhu Hao said that the goods will be supplied in a few days, but the silver allocated by the imperial court is ...... It doesn't seem to have reached the ground of Huguang until now, will it be ......?"

Zhu Youqi interrupted him: "I don't want the silver taels allocated by the imperial court first, just hand over this thing, if it really delays Your Majesty's use of troops in the northwest, it will no longer be a merit, but a fault, as long as Your Majesty and the imperial court know that my Xingwang Mansion is loyal to the Ming Dynasty!" ”

Zhu Youqi is very calm.

He can still afford two thousand taels of silver, even if the court does not allocate a penny, he will also undertake this work, and now it seems that the silver should be in place, but the number is not right.

"Then the prince, as I said before, I ...... participate in the lack of money to allocate money."

Zhang Zuo inquired tentatively.

Zhu Youqi said: "As Mr. Tang suggested, report it together, and the palace can have a clear conscience!" ”

……

……

Zhu Hao successfully supplied the goods.

On the day of receipt, Jiang Lun and Lu Song and his entourage happened to return from Beijing, and an acceptance team composed of Lu Song, Jiang Lun, Zhang Zuo and Tang Yin inspected all the newly produced telescopes in the west courtyard of the palace.

Jiang Lun looked like a dusty man, but his face was smiling like a rotten flower: "This telescope is more exquisite than the previous tribute." ”

Zhang Zuo smiled: "That's not it, the imperial court allocated 10,000 taels of things, if it doesn't look like it, Your Majesty still hasn't issued an order to track down the whereabouts of the silver?" ”

Lu Song hesitated for a moment and asked, "Isn't it two thousand taels?" ”

Several people talk not at all on the same channel.

Tang Yin glanced at Zhu Hao, then looked at Zhang Zuo and said: "Zhang Fengzheng, there are a total of one hundred and nine telescopes, it seems that one is missing, that ......"

"It's a sample, I have shown it to the prince before, and the prince is very satisfied, saying that if the prince makes progress in the examination school next time, it will be regarded as a prize for the prince."

Zhang Zuo's face was full of smiles, obviously contributing to this matter, and Xiang Xingwang suggested to maintain a good relationship with his son, which was extremely proud.

Tang Yin asked, "How much will you send to Jingshi?" And by whom? ”

That's a problem.

Jiang Lun and Lu Song had just returned from Beijing, and they hadn't even returned home, and now they suddenly said that they would send someone to Beijing to deliver things, and the journey was hard...... Even a sturdy martial artist like Lu Song couldn't stand it.

Zhang Zuo said with a smile: "Our family will ask the prince, my uncle and Lu Dianzhan have just returned from Beijing, they must be tired, just send someone else next time...... Don't worry, this is a great thing for His Majesty to show his face and make contributions, who in the palace doesn't rush to go? ”

That being said, but who knows if there will be any accidents along the way? If something goes wrong, I'm afraid ten heads won't be enough to cut off.

Want to make up for the missing goods......

The cost of one is twenty taels, one or two is okay, and if there is a shortage of ten or eight...... Bankruptcy can't make up for it.

Zhang Zuo said that he would have people carry the box containing the telescope to the inner courtyard of the palace, so that His Royal Highness King Xing could personally accept it.

Tang Yin remembered that Zhang Zuo still had a question that he hadn't answered, that is, how much to send to Jingshi.

But Zhang Zuo talked to Jiang Lun while leaving with people and goods, thinking that this might involve court secrets, so he didn't ask anymore.

Lu Song did not enter the inner courtyard with Zhang Zuo and Jiang Lun.

When accompanying Jiang Reincarnation to the palace, Lu Song had already met King Xing, and at this time, he wanted to go home early to reunite with his family, but in terms of etiquette, he still had to say a few words to Tang Yin and Zhu Hao.

"Mr. Lu, you won't still be struggling with the question of how many telescopes the palace will send to Jingshi, right?" Zhu Hao did not shy away from Lu Song, and asked Tang Yin with a smile.

Tang Yin was stunned.

Looking at Lu Song next to him, he was also looking at himself, looking very embarrassed.

You kid, don't you know how to be sophisticated?

In front of the people in the palace, you also asked the same?

Zhu Hao said with a smile: "Theoretically speaking, even if the telescope made by the imperial court is extraordinary, it will be owned by the imperial court, and the palace will have to deduct a few...... Of course, you can't say it clearly, just if Mr. Lu wants to understand this. I reckon...... I will probably send three or five more to Jingshi in case there is a problem on the road...... The palace will leave the remainder. ”

Tang Yin didn't expect that Zhu Hao would be in front of Lu Song again, so blatantly analyzed.

He wanted to say, you kid is really good!

"Lu Dianzhan, he is a child, talking nonsense, don't you mind." Tang Yin spoke for Zhu Hao, in fact, he wanted to remind Lu Song, just listen to it, don't report it.

Lu Songcai would not do such a boring thing, and smiled: "I usually admire Young Master Zhu's strategy, how can I mind?" Besides...... Zai Xia also felt that his analysis was very reasonable, the palace did things for the imperial court, and he didn't want to reciprocate, so why not leave a few? ”

Tang Yin didn't expect Lu Song to be so direct.

There was a burst of realization in my heart, and I said secretly, I still underestimated the intimacy between Zhu Hao and Lu Song, where is the relationship with a classmate's parents that should be maintained? There should be a deeper connection behind them, right?

Could it be that Lu Song, like Zhu Hao, is from Jinyiwei?

This association is too rich!

Lu Song didn't think about it so much, and saluted with his fists: "Mr. Lu and Young Master Zhu, if you want to go back to see your family, you won't accompany you much, and you two will go back and invite you to drink." ”

Zhu Hao said with a smile: "Lu Dian, please drink, Mr. Lu can go alone, don't call me, I won't drink and don't say anything, I've been busy making binoculars recently, and my schoolwork has been delayed, so it's time to make up for my homework." Mr. Lu, huh? ”

It's you big-headed ghost!

Tang Yin really wants to say, even if you don't make a telescope, you usually either sleep or write and draw in class, and you can answer what you ask you like a fluent, and even my lesson plan is written by you, isn't I taking the test to be the questioner?

Just pretend to be a student in front of outsiders!

"Brother Lu is outside, I'll invite you to drink when I turn around."

Tang Yin didn't treat Lu Song as an outsider.

In fact, Tang Yin has a careful idea now, that is, when he is drinking with Lu Song, he will extract more information about his relationship with Zhu Hao from Lu Song.

Tang Dacai is also scheming.

……

……

Inside the city.

In a house in the back alley of the teaching workshop, Zhu Wanhong woke up in a daze, and it was past noon.

"What about people?"

Zhu Wanhong got up and found that there was no one in his arms, so he couldn't help but ask the entourage next to him, a brocade guard Xiaoqi.

Xiaoqi replied: "Zhu Qianhu, people have returned to the sect in the morning, and it is impossible to accompany you until you wake up...... Maybe it's going to be sent at noon. ”

Zhu Wanhong sneered: "Sure enough, the bitch is unrighteous." ”

Xiao Qi looked embarrassed: "Besides, we all owe a lot of money to the Teaching Division, if it weren't for the previous humble position and revealing the identity of the Jinyi Guard, the Teaching Workshop Division would not have let you in again...... Oh yes, there's an envoy in the capital here, you...... To see or not to see? ”

"Did you bring any money?" Zhu Wanhong asked coldly.

"This ......"

Xiaoqi didn't know how to answer.

Now Zhu Wanhong is in a state of madness.

The high-level Jinyiwei did not assign any important tasks to Zhu Wanhong, nor did they take him as a hostage, after all, before King Xing interceded for Zhu Youqi, the emperor ordered Jinyiwei to let Zhu Wanhong return to his hometown to take over Zhu Mingshan's position as a thousand households, and Qian Ning and other high-level Jinyiwei leaders did not dare to openly disobey the emperor's will.

Now Zhu Wanhong has no home and would rather hide in the city.

Nominally, it is secretly investigating the movements of the Xingwang Mansion, but the huge palace is there, you don't contact the people who come out of it, observe the vigilance of the palace, but soak in the wine shop and the teaching department every day, where are you so spying on the news?

"People are coming? Then let's meet! Anyway, it will never be sent to me...... If there is no silver, let's go to the surrounding prefectures and counties of Anlu Prefecture to get a vote, there will always be the corrupt official who is frightened when he sees Jinyiwei, and the silver will naturally be sent to his arms! ”
