After listening to Lu Ning's words, Zhu Yuanzhang naturally understood that what he said made sense, so he said.

"You're right, so the market price is twenty taels of silver, this will not change, if the output is large in the future, it can be reduced to fifteen taels, anyway, as long as the domestic private money is earned."

Lu Ning smiled and nodded, he was also very pleased, this uncle can not only think about the domestic products department, but also think about market regulation, of course, it is very rare.

For such a big thing, if Zhu Yuanzhang didn't give Lu Ning a little reward, he would be a little overwhelmed in his heart, so he said.

"This time, you provided such a big business to the Department of Domestic Products, of course, it was the opinion of the Grand Duke, but you yourself are unwilling to add officials to the knighthood, so if there are a lot of people in the court, wouldn't you be unfair?"

Actually, Zhu Yuanzhang's words were too tactful, because Lu Ning could hear the implied meaning.

If you have made great achievements, the court can reward them, which is naturally the best, and if you do not reward them, then there is only one way left to rebel.

After listening to Zhu Yuanzhang's hint, Lu Ning naturally broke out in a cold sweat on his back, and he hurriedly said.

"Uncle, it's not that I don't want to be rewarded, but I am willing to pass on my reward to a friend, if you can convey my heart to His Royal Highness King Yan and the court, then I will thank you so much."

Zhu Yuanzhang secretly thought in his heart that Zi'an, a child, can make such great achievements, and he is not greedy for fame and fortune.

Moreover, it is so rare that he cares so much about his friends.

"In that case, then I will help you relay this wish to His Royal Highness King Yan, which friend do you want to ask for?"

For Zhu Yuanzhang, whether it is to reward Lu Ning or his friends, it is just a matter of one sentence, and there is no problem with this at all.

Lu Ning said almost without thinking.

"Changzhou Governor Liu Changlu, originally the magistrate of Changning, his uncle should also know him, although this person is very talented, but he is only a person from a lifting background, and now although he has been promoted to the prefect, he has no foundation, I want the court to reward him with a Jinshi fame."

Zhu Yuanzhang agreed, this was just a holy decree for him, so he said with a smile.

"It seems that Zi'an treats his friends very kindly, no problem, I will go back and explain to the court, it must not be a big deal."

After Zhu Yuanzhang returned to the capital, he immediately told Zhu Di that he would send someone from the Domestic Products Division to pick up the goods according to the order, asking for 20,000 catties of frosting.

At the same time, the people of the Domestic Products Division are also very reliable, and they brought 100,000 taels of silver at one time.

Li Jinglong had already returned to Changning, and he was waiting by Lu Ning's side, and when he saw that the people in the Domestic Products Division were naturally very familiar, he asked jokingly.

"Last time we paid a tax of 100,000 taels of silver, this time the domestic goods department took the goods from us, let us pay the tax, there must be a discount."

This time it was Sun Bizheng, the director of the Department of Domestic Products, who didn't dare to offend this little grandfather, so he said with a smile.

"The little grandfather laughed, these 100,000 taels of silver do not need to pay taxes, we have already asked His Royal Highness King Yan, there is no need to pay taxes to do business with the National Products Division, and Sima Gang is not stupid to that extent, if he comes to collect taxes, just let him go to His Royal Highness King Yan to talk."

Lu Ning nodded, and he said with a smile.

"In that case, then thank His Royal Highness King Yan for your love, we will produce 20,000 catties of frosting goods in three days, and please stay here for two days."

Sun Bizheng naturally agreed, he came here on a business trip, and he also wanted to taste the good food and vegetables of Lu Ning's side and satisfy his appetite.

Fu Bo took these guests to produce 20,000 catties of frosting within three days, and at the same time let Sun Bizheng accept it.

The cart brought by Sun Bizheng transported all these goods Zhu Yuanzhang was also happy, because he received news from Zhu Di that these frostings were all out of stock once they were purchased.

Almost in half a month, the Department of Domestic Products earned 300,000 taels of silver for the treasury of the household department, which is simply more than the money earned by printing money directly.

Hearing such a report, Zhu Yuanzhang was naturally happy, and in addition to being excited, he remembered Lu Ning's request and prepared to reward Liu Changlu.

So he found Li Shanchang, the left prime minister of Zhongshu Province, and issued an order to let Zhongshu Province draw up a will, give Liu Changlu, the prefect of Changzhou, the birth of Jinshi, and grant it to the Hanlin Academy for review, and at the same time named the man of Fugui County.

After Li Shanchang heard this will, he was suddenly a little confused, although this Liu Changlu is not bad in terms of political achievements, he is far from the point of being knighted.

All of a sudden, he was given the status of Jinshi, the official position of the Hanlin Academy, and the title of baron, which seems to be a bit too big.

Li Shanchang couldn't help but ask curiously.

"Your Majesty, although Liu Changlu, the prefect of Changzhou, has outstanding political achievements, is it a bit too much to want to give so much grace for a while?"

Zhu Yuanzhang just smiled indifferently, and he told Li Shanchang.

"This Liu Changlu is actually not very prominent, but who made him make friends, many friends and many roads, multiple enemies and many walls, these are all common sayings that people like to say, but they are really practical."

Speaking of which, Li Shanchang has also understood that the reason why Liu Changlu can progress so quickly is because he has a good friend named Lu Ning.

Since this is the case, this Prime Minister Li Cheng has nothing to say, so he hurried over to draft the decree and sent the Qin messenger to Changzhou Mansion to announce the decree.

Two days later, Liu Changlu was still in the palace to deal with some daily affairs, and suddenly the Qin messenger sent by the imperial court arrived in Changzhou Mansion.

After the will was read, Liu Changlu still hadn't come to his senses, and such a good thing would basically not fall on his head.

Until the master next to him tugged on his sleeve and reminded him.

"Your Excellency, you forgot to thank you."
