Although Hu Changan is very confident in the taste of his hot pot, this hot pot is a new thing after all.

When promoting a new product, the merchant has to spend a lot of money upfront to promote the new product.

After all, only after trying it will you know how good a new product is.

In the early stage, businesses will make various concessions to attract consumers to come and try new products.

And in ancient times, it was much more difficult to promote new products than in modern times.

After all, the life circle of ancient people was relatively fixed.

Very few new things can appear in their lives.

Therefore, compared to modern people, ancient people were also more conservative.

It's not easy to get them to accept new things.

But if there was the emperor's appreciation, then everything would be different.

In the eyes of the ancients, the emperor was the heavens and the absolute truth.

If the emperor said something delicious, it must be absolutely delicious!

This is just like the star effect of later generations, if the star says good, then it must be good!

If Zhu Yuanzhang can agree to promote Hu Changan, then Hu Changan will definitely save a lot of publicity expenses in the early stage.

Seeing this, Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help laughing.

Hu Changan, this kid is a goblin, and it turned out that he hit him with the idea.

Zhu Yuanzhang is not a fool, if he inscribes this character, Zhu Yuanzhang dares to pack tickets, Hu Changan's business will definitely go to the next level!

If ordinary people calculated on him, Zhu Yuanzhang would be angry.

But after all, now that you are full of food and drink, it is the time to be comfortable, even if there is a big fire, it can't be released.

What's more, Hu Changan is just begging for his small shop, which is not a big deal at all.

So after coming and going, Zhu Yuanzhang was not unhappy, but just teased Hu Changan with a faint expression: "Hu Aiqing, you are so bold, you actually hit me on the head." ”

"Tell me, what are you guilty of?"

Although Zhu Yuanzhang was not polite when he said this, his facial expression was extremely relaxed.

Therefore, Hu Changan was not afraid, but beat the snake on the stick, and continued to say to Zhu Yuanzhang: "The minister will never dare to hit His Majesty's attention." ”

"The minister just thinks, we can earn this silver together!"

"Chen dares to pack tickets, if this hot pot is launched on the market in the future, it will definitely sell well!"

"The minister just wants to take advantage of Your Majesty's east wind to make the minister's hot pot sell better."

"If Your Majesty is willing to inscribe this word, I am willing to share my profits with Your Majesty!"

"Your Majesty, if you inscribe this word to me today, I will give you twenty percent of the profits of my shop."

Hu Changan is so generous, in fact, he also has the intention of currying favor with Zhu Yuanzhang.

As the saying goes, there is borrowing and repaying, and it is not difficult to borrow again.

Only when Zhu Yuanzhang tastes the sweetness for the first time will Zhu Yuanzhang continue to help Hu Changan publicize in the future.

In Hu Changan's hands, there is not just such a new thing as hot pot!

After hearing this, Zhu Yuanzhang neither objected nor agreed, but asked Hu Changan with interest: "Hu Aiqing, you can't let me suffer." ”

"I am a pair of words, but gold is precious."

"What if your store doesn't open and I lose money?"

When Hu Changan heard this, he also smiled slightly: "Your Majesty, as a courtier, how can I let you lose money?" ”

"Why don't we make a bet?"

"Oh, what bet?" After hearing this, Zhu Yuanzhang also sat up straight with interest, and asked Hu Changan rhetorically.

Seeing this, Hu Changan also smiled slightly, and said to Zhu Yuanzhang: "Your Majesty, the minister should look at it or leave it like this." ”

"Within the first year, if the profit of the minister's shop for a year exceeds 100,000 taels of silver, the minister will pay His Majesty 20,000 taels of silver as a reward."

"Every year in the future, the minister will also give 20% of the profits to His Majesty."

"But if the profit of the first year of opening the shop does not reach 100,000 taels of silver, then the minister will not only transfer this shop to His Majesty, but also give His Majesty an additional 50,000 taels of silver as a reward!"

Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help but raise his eyebrows in surprise when he heard this: "Hu Aiqing, your tone is not small." ”

"100,000 taels of silver a year, just open your mouth?"

"You must know that your hot pot business is not like the soap business, which can do the business of the whole capital."

"I look at your hot pot restaurant, if you can do the business of the nobles in Beijing, I'm afraid it's almost the same."

"Hu Aiqing, this 100,000 taels of silver is not a small amount!"

"You must know that in my private treasury, there are only more than a million taels of silver in total."

However, in the face of Zhu Yuanzhang's doubts, Hu Changan smiled with the presence of the old god, and said mysteriously: "Your Majesty, don't worry." ”

"As long as you are willing to inscribe this word for me, I can guarantee that you will be able to make money lying down in the future!"

Since Hu Changan has talked about this, Zhu Yuanzhang has no reason not to agree.

After all, now Daming is really short of money.

In order to cultivate and recuperate, a series of policies designated by Zhu Yuanzhang are all policies of light and light conscription and exemption from taxation.

In this way, although the peasants benefited, the treasury was inevitably emptied.

Not only the treasury, but even Zhu Yuanzhang's private treasury is empty and tight.

The previous emperors were very pompous, and they couldn't wait to be majestic.

But when it comes to Zhu Yuanzhang, everything is simple and simple.

Although Zhu Yuanzhang's frugal temperament is also one thing, the more reason is because he has no money.

The amount of silver in Zhu Yuanzhang's private treasury seems to be huge, but these silvers have to be used for tens of thousands of concubines and palace people in the palace to eat and drink.

In this way, the million taels of silver are simply stretched.

However, although Zhu Yuanzhang was short of money, he had no legitimate source of silver except for taxes.

In the middle of the Ming Dynasty, when the emperor ran out of money, he could still send eunuchs to various state capitals to collect taxes.

But Zhu Yuanzhang is the first emperor of the ages, the dignified founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty!

In public and private, he can't do such a thing that lacks morality.

So Zhu Yuanzhang had to save again and again, and his life was extremely frugal.

Now that there is a legal channel for making money, Zhu Yuanzhang naturally can't let it go.

After all, Zhu Yuanzhang had already checked it before, and the silver obtained by Hu Changan was from a legitimate source.

Hu Changan did not bend the law at all, but used his own hands to earn the silver little by little.

Although the amount of silver earned by Hu Changan can be said to be an astronomical amount, this can only prove that Hu Changan has the ability.

So talking about cooperation with Hu Changan, Zhu Yuanzhang was very relieved.

Everyone is upright and earns money, not stumbling.

So, Zhu Yuanzhang and Hu Changan reached a friendly deal.

In a few moments, a banner was written.

"Delicious to attract guests from the three rivers, delicacies to the guests of the five lakes."
