Earn money, Zhu Houzhao dreamed of this, the eunuchs in the East Palace were basically cleaned, and they all became poor ghosts, and there was no oil and water to squeeze.

If there is no more money coming in, he will have to deal with the palace all day long.

But here's the thing

"Where is this wealth, and how should the money be earned?"

"It's also your luck, I just have a way to make a fortune, come on, let's talk over there."

Seeing that the rest of the people's ears were bent up to prevent the leakage of trade secrets, Xia Yuan pulled the prince to find a secluded place to sit on the ground, and asked everyone else to stay away.

"Your Highness, do you remember the secret recipe that the minister put in when he was doing the artillery battle a year ago?"

"Of course I do."

Speaking of this, Zhu Houzhao became excited, and immediately said with flying eyebrows: "Who would have thought that the master's secret recipe was actually sugar, the palace didn't believe it at first, and then according to the proportion of the formula you gave to the emperor, the palace itself made a cannon battle in the East Palace, and put a little sugar in it."

It didn't make much of a big one, but I made one out of a thin piece of bamboo."

Seeing that the more he talked, Xia Yuan stretched out his hand and made a pause gesture, "Stop, let's talk about earning money now." ”

"Yes, yes, make money."

Zhu Houzhao nodded again and again, he didn't want to talk about the consequences of the artillery battle, which was easy to cause bad memories.

"Your Highness, what color is the sugar in the palace?"

"Yellow."

Hearing these two words, Xia Yuan's heart jumped with joy, although he vaguely remembered that white sugar only appeared during the Jiajing period, and after coming to this era, he had never seen white sugar on the market.

But there is no white sugar, after all, the Jiajing period is only a few decades away from now.

Therefore, white sugar is likely to have appeared, but it has not been promoted to the people, but exclusively for the royal family and those ministers and nobles.

Now that I know that the sugar in the palace is yellow, doesn't it mean that selling white sugar in this era is a monopoly.

Is there anything more lucrative in this world than a monopoly?

No.

Taking a deep breath, Xia Yuan barely suppressed his excitement, and then asked, "Then do you remember what color the sugar I used was?" ”

"It's white, like snow particles."

“.”

Xia Yuan's brows furrowed, because he found that Zhu Houzhao's face was as usual, as if he didn't expect the business opportunities at all.

One is white as snow, the other is yellow sugar, what did you not expect?"

What comes to mind?

Zhu Houzhao was stunned, thought for a moment and asked, "Will white sugar be sweeter?" ”

“.”

It's a real hammer, this unlucky kid is mentally retarded.

It is recorded in the history books that Zhu Houzhao was extremely intelligent, very military talented, and full of language talent, proficient in several Chinese languages.

But there doesn't seem to be any mention of business talent, it is estimated that the talent is indeed stretched, and he is still young at this time, so he seems to be mentally retarded.

However, despite being mentally retarded, Xia Yuan still did not give up this business partner.

After all, the reason why he was asked to cooperate was not because he had a lot of business acumen, but because he was a prince, since he was a monopoly, there would definitely be a lot of money coming in.

As soon as there is a lot of money, there will be countless people who will get pink eye, and if this person has pink eye, he will inevitably cause trouble.

With this big Buddha pressing the field, many things will not be a thing.

After pondering for a while, Xia Yuan spoke again, and changed to a seductive tone, "If there are two kinds of sugar on the market, one is as white as snow and the other is yellow, which one will you buy?" ”

"Which is cheaper?"

"The yellow ones are cheaper, and the white ones are relatively expensive, but the color is white."

Before he finished speaking, Zhu Houzhao immediately said: "I'll buy the yellow one." ”

"If it's cheap, it's white"

"Buy white."

“.”

It can be seen that poverty has made His Royal Highness the Crown Prince unrecognizable, making him betray his own class.

In his class, the emphasis should be on buying things not for the best, but for the most expensive.

However, at the instigation of the demon of poverty, he went to the crooked path of buying whatever was cheaper.

I haven't seen it for more than two months, and it's fallen to such a point.

Xia Yuan was full of emotion.

"You're poor right now, it's not surprising to think that way. Let's talk about the market outlook now.

The white sugar is nothing else, but it looks very good, white as snow, and it is clean and hygienic when you look at it.

Although the price is more expensive than yellow sugar. However, sugar is a luxury, and the poor people basically don't buy it, and maybe they will only buy a little bit during the New Year's holiday, so people who usually buy sugar are almost not rich or expensive. ”

"These people are not bad for money, they are exquisite, they don't look at the price when they buy things, not to mention that they are just a little more expensive, even if they are ten times more expensive, it doesn't matter, they will still choose white sugar."

"And I have a secret recipe to make this kind of white sugar, or an exclusive secret recipe, no one else has it, that is to say, we are the only one on the market that sells white sugar, in other words, if you want to buy white sugar, you can only come to us.

Not to mention places like Jiangnan that are rich in rich households, there are more dignitaries and nobles in the capital alone than dogs, you can calculate for yourself, how much silver can you earn? ”

“.”

Zhu Houzhao looked stunned, probably because the complex operation caused a short period of death, after a while, he suddenly slapped his thigh hard, his whole face was already flushed, and he muttered excitedly, "It's gone, it's gone, this palace is going to be released."

"It's not you who sent it, we sent it."

"Yes, yes, we're going to send it."

"Yes, we are going to send it, according to the business plan I envisioned, we must first divide a piece of land, get a few large workshops, roll out the production line, and then hire people to buy yellow granulated sugar in large quantities, and then decolorize it, and buy sugarcane directly, which can save a lot of costs."

When the production comes out, let's get a few shops in Beijing to sell, and when we have the funds, we will begin to expand the sales channels, bigger and stronger, and wait until our white sugar blooms all over the world, and then it will be called the real fortune, hundreds of thousands of taels, millions of taels, and even tens of millions of taels of silver is not impossible to earn. ”

“.”

An unprecedented pie was drawn, Zhu Houzhao's supported brain was confused, excited, shocked, and incredulous, all kinds of emotions rushed to his brain, and he didn't know how to vent it for a while.

Excitedly, he paced back and forth in the library, rubbing his hands back and forth like flies.

His monthly silver was only three hundred taels, and he couldn't form any concept of too large a number, and the numbers that made him dizzy made him feel very unreal, like a dream.

But Zhu Houzhao knew that it was true that he could make money, but he didn't have any pursuits, let alone tens of millions, millions, hundreds of thousands, even if he earned thousands of taels, he could jump up happily if he made tens of thousands of taels.

The opportunity to make a fortune was in front of him, the more Zhu Houzhao thought about it, the more excited he felt, and then he directly rushed over excitedly, opened his arms and hugged Xia Yuan.

Xia Yuan was careless and didn't flash, he was hugged firmly, and after a short stunned moment, he hurriedly pushed Zhu Houzhao away, and said seriously: "Your Highness, please respect yourself, the minister is a family person." ”
