"There are also thirty percent, it is His Royal Highness the King of Shu!" Lan Bin shook his head and said.

Zhu Biao was stunned and said, "Eleventh brother?"

"Well, His Royal Highness the King of Shu was already looking for me before my cousin looked for me, and asked me to take him to do business together!" Lan Bin briefly talked about Zhu Chun, the king of Shu, looking for him.

Zhu Biao suddenly realized, indeed, the eleventh brother has just been crowned king for less than two years, and the mother concubine is Concubine Guo Hui, the daughter of Guo Zixing, the father-in-law of the emperor, and the mother family is not reliable.

Now that the eleventh brother is married to the Lan Mansion, the outside of the palace can only rely on the Lan Mansion.

Thinking about it, he looked at Lan Bin and couldn't help but tease, "Cousin, you are really willing to your brother-in-law! For such a lucrative business as soap, you will share 30% of it, and I will be 20% less than the prince."

"No, you and your brother-in-law are on par with me."

"Cousin, as you just said, we are relatives. Combined, our two families account for 70% of the soap business, and His Royal Highness the King of Shu only accounts for 30%, which is reasonable!" Lan Bin quibbled.

"You... I can't say anything about you! Someone in the soap business, just do what you say!"

Zhu Biao really wants to say that you are related to the King of Shu, which is closer than you and me. But thinking that Lan Bin was his cousin, and the King of Shu was his younger brother, he finally pointed at Lan Bin, did not dwell on this issue, and agreed to it.

Lan Bin knew that Zhu Biao was a generous person, so he was not surprised, and smiled and said, "Cousin, the soap business has initially invested 100,000 taels of silver. If you have fifty percent, you will pay fifty thousand taels!"

"His Royal Highness the King of Shu and I account for the remaining fifty percent, and we also give fifty thousand taels."

"Fifty thousand taels? It's a little too much, can you have less?" Zhu Biao said a little embarrassed.

Although Donggong can get 50,000 taels, after taking it out, Donggong's already embarrassed finances will be even more embarrassed.

Even if it's not to the point of frugality, it's not far off.

Lan Bin had expected that Zhu Biao might not be able to get 50,000 taels at a time, so he suggested, "That's it! Cousin, you give me 20,000 taels first, and the remaining 30,000 taels can be deducted from the profits later."

"What do you think?"

"Cousin, won't this be too much trouble for you? Do you have enough money there?"

Even if Zhu Biao doesn't know how to do business, he knows that the principal of his soap business, the less 30,000 taels, will be put on by the Lan Mansion, and he is a little embarrassed.

Lan Bin smiled, "Cousin, don't worry! My father went to war and seized a lot of gold and silver spoils. I still have a little bit of money!"

"What's more, in the glass business, my family still has 20%, and the last time the dividend was divided, 100,000 taels."

When Zhu Biao heard this, he was faintly envious, although he was the crown prince of the Ming Dynasty, the future emperor, and nominally the entire Ming Dynasty was his, but in fact, there was not much silver at his disposal.

In contrast, the family background of the Lan Mansion is even richer than that of him, the crown prince.

However, envy is envy, but he is not blushing, and there is no malice, not only because Lan Bin is his relative, but also because of his benevolent nature.

Thinking about it, he breathed a sigh of relief, and did not forget to advise: "Cousin, when my cousin withheld gold and silver spoils on the battlefield, when no one is around, tell me about it, it's okay. Don't mention it to outsiders!"

"What a terrible man's words!"

He doesn't look at the background of the blue mansion, but it doesn't mean that others don't look red.

Especially the civil officials who are low-level and have always been at odds with the nobles.

If they know, I'm afraid there will be another turmoil.

After all, it is against military regulations to privately withhold war spoils.

Usually, no one breaks it, and no one investigates it, but when it comes to the surface, his father has to be disciplined.

"Cousin, I understand, I'm just talking in front of you!" Lan Bin said with a smile.

He didn't mean to talk about it, but he deliberately broke it.

The glass business has already made Lanfu a lot of money, and now there is a soap business, and there will be other businesses in the future.

It can be expected that the family base of the Blue Mansion will become thicker and thicker.

Break it in advance, just like a vaccination.

Who will be red-eyed in the future

Lan Mansion's family background, questioning the source of Lan Mansion's wealth, don't need to come to him, Zhu Biao can refute it.

Zhu Biao nodded, and then looked at the box next to the soap box: "This is soap?" Same as soap?"

"Yes, this is soap, and the washing effect is similar to that of soap, except that it doesn't have the scent of soap."

Lan Bin nodded: "Of course, the price is much cheaper than soap."

As soon as Zhu Biao heard that soap was similar to soap, he didn't have the heart to try it, so he asked the eunuch to take 20,000 taels of silver from the account of the East Palace and hand it over to Lan Bin: "Cousin, the soap business will be handed over to you. Business, you know better than me, so I won't say more!"

"Cousin, what about the soap entering the palace?" Lan Bin accepted the treasure money and did not forget to remind.

Zhu Biao smiled: "Don't worry! I'll just talk to my father!"

"Cousin, it's okay, I'll quit first!"

Lan Bin smiled, saluted solemnly, and prepared to leave.

As soon as he took a step, Lan Bin suddenly remembered something and stopped again: "By the way, cousin, when I came here just now, I saw that the eunuchs and palace maids in the East Palace all had serious expressions and tense atmospheres."

"But has something happened to the East Palace?"

It's okay not to say this, but when he mentioned this, Zhu Biao's mood was instantly not good, and he said a little depressed: "There's nothing wrong with the East Palace, it's just that my father... Sometimes I can't really guess what my father is thinking."

"A few days ago, Jin Yiwei was still arresting officials on a large scale, but now it has stopped."

"Cousin, isn't that a good thing?" Lan Bin said suspiciously.

At this time, I don't know if Zhu Biao and Queen Ma's persuasion played a role, or if Zhu Yuanzhang was brewing something.

It was as if the pause button had been pressed, and the wind was calm.

Neither the officials who were imprisoned in Jinyiwei Zhao Prison were executed, nor did Jinyiwei escort new local officials into Beijing.

Sometimes it gives people the illusion that the empty seal is over.

"Cousin, you don't know my father!"

Zhu Biao shook his head: "Sometimes the wind and waves are calm, it may not be a good thing, and something bigger may happen."

He stays by Zhu Yuanzhang's side all the year round and doesn't know too much about Zhu Yuanzhang.

Take Hu Weiyong's case as an example, Hu Weiyong formed a party in the DPRK to run a private business and exercise power without authority. He clearly saw that Zhu Yuanzhang was extremely dissatisfied with Hu Weiyong, and suggested several times to deal with Hu Weiyong.

But Zhu Yuanzhang turned a blind eye and held back, just secretly collecting evidence of Hu Weiyong's crimes.

He thought that Zhu Yuanzhang was not moving Hu Weiyong because the time was not ripe, but he realized afterwards that he was too naïve.

Zhu Yuanzhang didn't take Hu Weiyong in his eyes at all, the reason why he kept holding back and letting Hu Weiyong take power without permission was to abolish the position of prime minister who had been inherited for thousands of years and strengthen the imperial power.

And now that the empty seal case is at the right time, Zhu Yuanzhang is dormant again, which makes him worry that Zhu Yuanzhang will use the empty seal case to seek another reason.

Of course, this is not the point, the point is that he is afraid that Zhu Yuanzhang will raise the butcher knife again and face the courtiers.

After all, there is a precedent for this.
