Zhang Jingming was puzzled: "King Xing, I don't know the so-called glass beads in the letter from Jingshi, but the glass balls that were extremely rare among the people in the past?" What is the reason for the royal palace? ”

He obviously didn't know the details of the marbles offered by the palace, and he didn't know that the marbles were from Zhu Hao's hand.

Maybe no one in the palace took the 100 marbles seriously, Zhang Jingming came back for more than a month, and no one mentioned this kind of thing to him.

It shows that even if Zhang Jingming returned, he did not obtain the corresponding authority.

Zhang Zuo said with a smile: "Zhang Changshi, that's right, the glass beads were made by Zhu Hao, that is, the child who served as a companion next to the prince, he was good at learning, and often made some strange and ingenious things, it is said that these marbles ...... Casually, he can build as much as he wants, and he usually uses it for the prince and a few children to play......"

Speaking of this, Zhang Zuo couldn't laugh anymore.

The palace was used as a child's plaything, and suddenly became a rare treasure recognized by the emperor, if this matter spread, regardless of whether the emperor was angry or not, what would others think?

Xingwangfu used children's toys as tribute, but the emperor was fooled, and then used as a treasure...... What are your intentions in building the palace?

Is this a joke about royalty?

Those who were already extremely hostile to the Xingwang Mansion, such as Empress Dowager Zhang and Qian Ning, Jiang Bin and other ministers, didn't make a big fuss about this matter?

Yuan Zonggao hurriedly proposed: "This matter should not be publicized, let alone let Zhu Hao make glass beads again, unless the imperial court has a will, otherwise...... Glass beads can only exist as tribute and must not be circulated among the people. ”

Zhu Youqi shook his head: "This king has this intention." ”

I was very cautious in my words, meaning that I came to you to tell you about it.

Even if you know the inside story of the glass beads, you will rot in my stomach.

Zhang Jingming was straightforward and fast-talking, with an incredible look on his face: "The things that children play with can actually become treasures cherished by people in the palace?" How can there be such a strange thing in the world? ”

Zhang Zuo said: "Zhang Changshi, have you ever seen the glass beads, they are indeed crystal clear, but their cores are colorful, they are slippery in your hands, and they contrast with each other, but I don't know how Zhu Hao made them...... However, even if it really becomes a treasure, as long as there are a large number of people, it is not rare. ”

Zhu Youqi nodded and looked at Tang Yin: "Mr. Tang, please go and inform Zhu Hao, so that he will not make glass beads in the future unless he has the emperor's order, and he will not take them to play with the prince again." ”

Tang Yin arched his hand: "Take the order." ”

Yuan Zonggao said suddenly: "I just don't know if this thing has flowed into the people in the past...... Or can someone else make it? ”

These words are obviously aimed at Zhu Hao.

How can we be held accountable for past events?

Although Zhu Hao is a talent cultivated by the palace, but only limited to studying in the palace, people do business and are not controlled by the palace, if Zhu Hao has made a large number of them in the past, or now that he knows that this thing is valuable, he will build it behind his back, and the palace can only drive him out of the palace at most, so what else do you have to do?

Tang Yin said: "Even if there are glass beads circulating among the people and reaching the ears of people in the palace, they are only imitated by someone...... Since the antiquities are rare and precious, if there are many folk circulation, resulting in the value of glass beads falling, the responsibility will not and should not fall on Xingwangfu. ”

The people present were incredible.

When did Tang Yin dare to directly connect with Yuan Zonggao?

This-for-tat look, Zhu Hao's heart is very strong!

The atmosphere in the room suddenly became tense.

Zhang Zuo didn't look good, and hurriedly said: "Lord, in the eyes of the old slave, Zhu Hao is a good boy who knows how to advance and retreat, and has a sense of proportion, he has read a book, and he is about to have a fame, and the rights and wrongs should be very clear. ”

It seems to be in the middle, but it is actually speaking for Tang Yin and Zhu Hao.

It's also something that no choice is.

In the past, Zhang Zuo and Yuan Zonggao fought back and forth, but now Yuan Zonggao has two more helpers on his side, Zhang Jingming and Chu Yu, if he doesn't trap Tang Yin and Zhu Hao again, it will not be far from the palace Chengfeng Division being suppressed by the palace chief Shi Si again.

Zhu Youqi said with a smile: "Zhu Hao didn't collect money when he presented the glass beads, this time as long as he explained the situation to him, I believe that he has his own measure, as long as you don't pass it on for the time being...... After a year and a half, the rumors passed, and then there were glass beads among the people, and it had nothing to do with Xingwangfu. ”

At the moment, he agreed with Zhang Zuo and Tang Yin's statement.

The glass beads sent by the palace are indeed rare things at the moment, and the emperor can use them as treasures, which is not enough to explain its value?

Turning back, the people have glass beads, which can only be said to be the first discovery of this thing in Xingwangfu, and then slowly spread...... The imperial court can't blame Xingwangfu for deliberately making worthless glass beads as tribute, right?

……

……

When Tang Yin went to the West Courtyard Canteen to look for Zhu Hao, he found that he was eating with Gongsun Yi.

Usually Gongsun Yi rarely enters the palace, and occasionally comes to the school house, but today he actually went to the guard canteen in the West Courtyard, obviously to eat...... Don't say anything, when Tang Yin entered the door, he heard Gongsun Yi constantly asking Zhu Hao something, but when he approached, Gongsun Yi shut up in time.

"Mr. Tang, I'm discussing knowledge with Zhu Hao."

After Gongsun Yi saluted, he explained with a smile.

Tang Yin thought to himself, you are not discussing knowledge, but seeking advice, right?

He glanced at the dishes on the table, and the ones in front of Gongsun Yi were empty, which showed that the other party was very thorough...... At least no food is wasted.

"It's almost time, it's time to go back...... Mr. Tang and Mr. Zhu Xiao, we have time to discuss it again. Gongsun Yi was full of food and drink, touched his bulging belly and left.

Tang Yin looked back at Gongsun Yi's back and disappeared at the door of the cafeteria, and shook his head: "A few days after coming back, you can see that his face is a little blessed." ”

"Haha."

Zhu Hao was so happy when he heard this.

Tang Yin saw this very accurately, perhaps after Gongsun Yi was raised in the examination, the number of people who invited him to the banquet increased day by day, and the living conditions at home were further improved.

It's only been a month since I came back, and my body has obviously gained weight, and my face has begun to swell.

"Zhu Hao, I came to you to tell you that the tribute you gave to the palace, that is, the hundred glass beads, don't make them in the future...... I heard that His Majesty regarded it as a treasure, and if it was spread among the people and caused it to depreciate significantly, it would probably attract the world's criticism of Xingwangfu. ”

Tang Yin came up and opened the skylight and said something bright.

Zhu Hao nodded.

Tang Yin sighed: "I know these words, I don't tell you, you also understand it in your heart, just remind you as usual." ”

Zhu Hao smiled and said: "The news from the palace is relatively lagging behind, in fact, I received the relevant information two days ago. ”

"Two days ago? Is there anything faster than the official post? ”

Tang Yin's face was full of doubts.

"It's the owner of the Soviet Union...... I don't know where he received the rumor, saying that the glass beads would become valuable jewelry, and that now Jingshi is hard to find, and he knows that I can make this thing in batches, so he sent someone to inform me overnight to see if I can make a batch for him. ”

Zhu Hao explained the situation.

Tang Yin was speechless: "Su Dongzhu's business mind is not ordinary. You kid must not make it for him. ”

Zhu Hao pursed his lips and continued to eat his fried noodles: "Why don't you make money if you have money?" Forget it, forget it, since the palace has made a special explanation, then I will release the pigeon of the owner of the Su this time. ”

"You, you......"

Tang Yin didn't know what to say.

"By the way, Mr. Tang, even if I am restrained here, I am afraid of the next step...... After the Zhu family learned the news, they would immediately organize people to imitate it, you must know that now the local glass business in Anlu is basically monopolized by the Zhu family, and my small workshop is just doing a little business involving glass mirrors. Zhu Hao said with a smile.

Tang Yin frowned: "You mean, the Zhu family will also make glass beads?" ”

Zhu Hao shook his head: "I don't know, but the material is glass, it shouldn't be difficult to imitate a bead, even if it's not very round, it's also a glass bead...... After the Zhu family took away our glaze workshop, they have never had the opportunity to make a fortune from it, who dares to guarantee that they will not make a profit from it? ”

"The Zhu family made ......"

Tang Yin pondered the benefits and disadvantages behind it.

After all, Tang Yin felt from the beginning that there was no need to restrict the people who made glass beads, and there were rumors among the people that did not hinder him from becoming a tribute.

Zhu Hao smiled and said: "If it was made by the Zhu family, the palace bought a batch and sent it to the palace as a tribute after learning about it...... The palace has no malicious intentions, and it also allows the Zhu family to make money, isn't it good? ”

"Huh!?"

Tang Yin frowned and asked, "You...... Providing glass beads to the palace is to make the Zhu family profitable? ”

In Tang Yin's opinion, this is not Zhu Hao's style of acting.

Zhu Hao is the kind of person who wants to pit the Zhu family at any time and hates to hollow out the Zhu family's foundation, and will hand over the benefits to the Zhu family at this time?

Even if Tang Yin didn't know the reason, with his consistent understanding of Zhu Hao, he instinctively sensed that there seemed to be some conspiracy behind it.

Zhu Hao said: "Sir, look at what you said, I am the Zhu family, the Zhu family gave me life, and when I encounter benefits, how can I not reciprocate?" Before, the warehouse of the Zhu family ferry was flooded and suffered heavy losses, and I tried to help them earn some money to fill the shortfall, which can be regarded as my duty as a descendant of the Zhu family......"

"Alright, alright!"

Tang Yin really couldn't listen to it, and pointed at Zhu Hao and said, "Just tell me directly, the Zhu family can really imitate glass beads, right?" ”

"Perhaps."

Zhu Hao didn't make up his mind.

"So what is your plot? Let's hear it, I think the Zhu family may have to suffer from you......"

Tang Yin said bluntly, "From what I know about you, it is very likely that when you offered glass beads to Xingwangfu as a tribute, you designed everything in front of you. ”

The sound of crashing into the sky sounded!

"Wow! Mr. Tang, are you kidding me? How could I have expected that the glass beads would become something that His Majesty admired? This thing was originally just an ordinary gadget, used to relieve the boredom of the world.

"I have to calculate whether this thing can become a tribute, but also calculate that there is a demand from the people, and the Zhu family can imitate it to make a profit, unless I have the ability to predict the future...... But the question is, if the Zhu family sells it at a high price, what benefit can I get from it? I'm an honest and reliable little gentleman, you can't wronged me! ”

Zhu Hao's face was aggrieved, as if he had really been wronged.
