Chapter 277: Diapers Sell
After Zhu Biao returned to Beijing, he immediately asked Zhu Yuanzhang for an order to build an arsenal.
Zhu Yuanzhang agreed to the construction requirements of this arsenal, and all matters were handed over to Zhu Biao for arrangement.
So, Zhu Biao designated it as the Zhengsanpin Yamen, and solemnly met Lan Tianping in his prince's East Palace.
Since Lan Tianping is Lan Yu's son, no matter how the two say it, they are also small, but they are just divided into monarchs and ministers.
"Tianping, letting you be in charge of this arsenal this time is Your Majesty's absolute trust in you, and you must not let it down."
Lan Tianping hurriedly kowtowed to offer grace, and then said.
"Please rest assured, His Royal Highness the Prince, I will never let His Majesty trust me once in vain, if the arsenal can't do anything here, I am willing to give it to the prince."
Zhu Biao shook his head, he didn't want Lan Tianping to make such a promise, but he also told the young newspaper editor-in-chief about Lu Ning's recommendation of Lan Tianping.
Lan Tianping, who has been wandering around in the clerical field, finally got a chance to prove himself and began to show his skills.
Under his auspices, the arsenal made rapid progress, and the production of items such as Mauser guns and grenades was all able to ensure quality and quantity, and there was no problem in the military department's repeated acceptances.
At this time, Zhu Yuanzhang was also happy in his heart, and in addition to being happy, he was directly promoted to the official of Lantian Ping.
not only gave him the title of secretary of the military department of the second grade, but also gave him the title of viscount.
At this moment, Lan Tianping can be regarded as a glorious ancestor, and after returning home, his father Lan Yu is also beautiful.
He also knew that this was the recommendation of Lu Ning, a reliable old friend, so that there would be Lan Tianping today, so he was naturally even more grateful.
At this time, Zhu Yuanzhang also recruited Lu Ning to return to Beijing to report on his work.
Lu Ning went to fight in Dongying, and it was a few months as soon as he went, and he couldn't take care of many things at home.
When he came back this time, he also wanted to stay a few more days, so he first went to the palace to meet his uncle Zhu Yuanzhang, which was the daily etiquette of a courtier.
Zhu Yuanzhang saw Lu Ning coming back from this trip, he looked a little dark, and his figure had lost a lot of weight, and he said with a little distress.
"Zi'an, I've really suffered outside this time, I'll stay a few more days when I come back this time, don't go back to Dongying for the time being, there is Jiujiang over there, and there must be no big deal."
Lu Ning had been waiting for Zhu Yuanzhang's words for a long time, and he said it immediately.
"Uncle, since you say this, I have saved a lot of thoughts, in fact, I also want not to go back for the time being, after all, my daughter-in-law is about to give birth, and I still have to prepare diapers."
Zhu Yuanzhang didn't understand what a diaper was, but Lu Ning attached so much importance to it, it must be a good thing.
Lu Ning returned home, and he saw his two wives.
At this time, Xu Miaojin was about to give birth.
Lu Ning comforted them, saying that he couldn't stand them when he went out on business some time ago, and he would never leave again when he came back for a while this time.
The two naturally understand their husbands very well, and they won't say anything more.
At this time, Lu Ning called Fu Bo and told him to prepare a closed room so that no one would disturb him, and that he would study diapers for his son.
Two days later, he actually developed the diaper, and the finished product was really of good quality.
After he explained the usefulness of this thing to Xu Miaojin, Xu Miaojin said.
"I didn't expect you to be able to make such a magical thing, it's amazing, but this thing is so good, we can't have it alone, we should produce it in large quantities and promote it."
Lu Ning thought about it carefully and felt that this matter was still very reliable, so he told Fu Bo to produce a large number of products according to his own drawings.
And go out and pitch it out and try it out to see if anyone uses it.
Fu Bo just took these finished products around the outside, and when he came back, he told Lu Ning that he had received a large number of orders.
Lu Ning was naturally happy in his heart, so he said to Fu Bo.
"Produce him 10 million pieces first, which should be sold by Tianfu It is estimated that he can also make a lot of money, and we will sell him a little silver for each diaper, and 10 million pieces is a million taels."
At this time, he suddenly thought of his eldest apprentice Li Jinglong, if this kid was here, it was estimated that the number of orders would only be more.
It's just that this guy is still far away at the moment, but at this time, it's time to work harder for Fubo.
At this time, Zhu Yuanzhang came to his mansion in civilian clothes and said directly to Lu Ning.
"Zi'an, I heard that your diapers have received a lot of orders outside, and the market has always been very good, isn't it time to mass-produce them for takeout."
Seeing his uncle coming here, Lu Ning knew that it would not be a good situation, so he said directly.
"Uncle, I'm making a little money with this thing, don't you think you want to get involved? I mean, I'll just keep the money myself, and give my son a wife, and don't give it to the domestic goods department. ”
Zhu Yuanzhang almost hated iron and steel, looked at Lu Ning and said.
"What do you mean by that, boy? Are we still going to rob you of your profits? The National Products Division is for the treasury and not for private interests, and you are now a rich prince of the imperial court, can't you even figure this out? ”
When Lu Ning saw Zhu Yuanzhang say this, he had to mumble in his mouth.
"It's okay to figure it out, but the main thing is that after you figure it out, the money will be gone, and that's the big problem."
Zhu Yuanzhang saw Lu Ning's aggrieved appearance, and really wanted to laugh, so he comforted him and said.
"Okay, you kid don't play tricks with us here, let's tell you, after your diaper production, half of the profits will be kept by yourself, and the remaining half will be handed over to the domestic goods company."
Lu Ning was a little helpless, this uncle was simply a robbery, but you couldn't reason with him yet.
"Okay, then listen to you, but I still have one condition, that is, all these production raw materials should be produced by the domestic product department, otherwise it will be too unfair."
Zhu Yuanzhang readily agreed to this request, and this condition is not too much.
