For Zhu Houzhao, hundreds of thousands of taels of silver are too much, and he doesn't know how to spend so much silver, and his earning of silver is nothing more than showing off, pretending to be a beep, and raising his eyebrows is basically this very down-to-earth and vulgar purpose.

He wanted to make a big deal out of it so that others would look up to him, especially Emperor Hongji, who desperately wanted his father's approval.

Now that the money has been earned, I have raised my eyebrows and vomited, as if I had done everything that needed to be done.

But he still couldn't avoid resentment and grievance in his heart, especially when he saw the scene in front of him, he felt that there were 10,000 grass and mud horses galloping in his heart.

"Xia Qingjia, how do you see my writing?"

Faced with the emperor's inquiry, Xia Yuan naturally slapped the rainbow fart, "Excellent, Your Majesty's calligraphy is enough to make the world's famous calligraphers embarrassed." ”

"Xia Qing don't want to compliment, I still have self-knowledge of my own writing, but it's just the middle stream, but I remember that Xia Qing's writing is very good."

"Your Majesty has praised it falsely, and the minister's behavior and writing are average, far from being comparable to Your Majesty"

Seeing the two people complimenting each other and being embarrassed, Zhu Houzhao felt a chill, and with a bang, Zhu Youzhu picked up a big seal and stamped it on the pair of words.

Xia Yuan picked it up, "With His Majesty's words, if you hang it in the shop, it will definitely improve the grade of Yushuangzhai, increase sales, and deter Xiaoxiao, lest someone have bad intentions." ”

"Who else dares to loot the sugar shop?"

"No one dares to do this, what the minister is worried about is that someone covets the secret recipe for making white sugar, and once this secret recipe is cracked, the silver that can be earned by this white sugar will be greatly discounted in an instant."

Hearing the big discount, Emperor Hongzhi immediately became anxious, "I dare to covet my business, who dares!" ”

The hall was suddenly filled with a sense of king's spirit, Zhu Youzhu was like an old boy who had been robbed of his territory, and he was going to use a knife to cut people in the next second.

Zhu Houzhao was shocked and rolled his eyes, it was obviously a deal between the palace and the master!

Xia Yuan was not shocked by the king's overlord at all, but said: "Your Majesty thinks that no one dares to do it, but the wealth is moving, it was a monopoly before, and there is only one white sugar, and there is no other semicolon, so if you want to set as high a price, you can set as high a price."

But if it is cracked by others, it is difficult to guarantee that there will be no price war in order to grab business. ”

"What is a price war?"

"It's that the two parties are lowering the price of each other, and the price is getting lower and lower, for example, our shop sells ten taels and one tael, and he sells five taels, and the minister will inevitably reduce the price in order to push it down."

Emperor Hongzhi frowned, "It's okay, if someone dares to steal the secret recipe of white sugar, and dares to sell it on a large scale, I will send someone to seal up his shop." ”

Xia Yuan was shocked, the emperor was so greedy that he shook his head, "Your Majesty, this matter must not be." ”

"Not to mention that the seizure of the shop will cause panic in the market, more importantly, this person's psychology is already complicated, if His Majesty seals the shop, maybe the next day that person will leak the secret recipe for making white sugar, so that the city will know, and then it will be spread to the world."

"And the production method of this white sugar is actually not as complicated as imagined, but it is very simple, and when everyone learns it, the white sugar to make money is equivalent to gone."

"So this matter can only be strictly guarded to ensure that the secret recipe will not leak out."

Hearing this paragraph, Zhu Youzhu also came to his senses and seized the shop, but the people who opened the shop were still there, and it was hard to guarantee that he would not be resentful because of this, and the secret recipe was directly leaked out so that everyone in the world would know.

And this kind of thing is at most a seizure shop, and you can't cut people down, so what is the legal principle of the country.

After a moment of silence, he said: "Security and confidentiality are really a problem, so how to strictly guard against it in the opinion of the emperor?" ”

In order to ensure the safety of the secret recipe, Xia Yuan also made a lot of preparations, such as batching, sub-process, a group of people who mix yellow mud water, a group of people who decolorize, a group of people who wash with water, and a group of people who dry it.

In the sugar compound, only those workers who make sugar are allowed to enter, and the rest of the employees are not allowed to approach within a hundred meters.

A series of buildings were built near the sugar factory to serve as dormitories for employees to prevent incidents on the way home.

And there are also guards stationed in the East Palace.

"This minister has made many preparations, and now with His Majesty's imperial pen inscription, the risk of leakage of the secret recipe will definitely be minimized, and it is not even possible, and the minister will go back and think of some other ways when the time comes."

With so much preparation, coupled with the emperor's imperial pen inscription, it must be associated with the emperor's industry, no matter how bold those people are, they have to weigh it, and Xia Yuan's only worry is that other people's sugar mills can be built sturdily and strongly, don't let a rain collapse.

The two withdrew from the hall again, and when they entered, Zhu Houzhao raised his head high, and his proud little tail was cocked in the sky, and when he came out, he was depressed and depressed.

Xia Yuan held the inscription of the imperial pen in his arms, and comforted him: "Your Highness, cheer up, although there is no dividend, His Royal Highness is still the chairman of our business." ”

"What chairman!"

Zhu Houzhao was angry when he mentioned this, he felt that this position was awkward at the beginning, but now he was actually understood by the faint gentleman as the meaning of being sensible and progressive.

Then he blushed and said angrily: "This palace is not the chairman of the board of directors anymore!" ”

"That's really a pity, the minister still thinks that the chairman has no dividends now, so let's give a salary of 10,000 taels of silver every month, but it's a pity that His Royal Highness is inappropriate, it's a pity."

“.”

Zhu Houzhao was speechless for a while, and finally chose to give in under the amount of 10,000 taels of silver, "Who said that this palace is inappropriate, who else should I be the chairman of the board?" ”

"Bengong knows that the master must be reluctant to see Bengong poor, and sure enough, only the master in this world is the best person for Bengong."

"That's not it, when the next Huichen remembers some money-making business, he will definitely pull His Highness to partner, and then we will still split the account fifty-fifty."

Faced with such a tempting proposal, Zhu Houzhao immediately shook his head, "No." ”

"Why?"

"This palace has figured it out, once this palace earns silver, once there is a dividend, it will definitely be taken by that faint king."

"What does His Highness mean?"

"What is the master's money-making business, first hide it in my heart, and when the palace ascends the throne, then we will work together to earn silver."

"At that time, it was necessary to earn a large amount of silver, the palace wanted to drive the expedition in person, to attack the Tatars, to personally lead the troops to sweep the Mobei, the most expensive thing to fight was silver, the palace did not use the silver of the treasury, with its own silver, how to spend it, no one dared to say anything."

The more Zhu Houzhao spoke, the more excited he became, thinking that he would use a large amount of silver to fight the horses in the future, the silver was his own, the battle was fought by himself, and the credit was all his own, and his heart couldn't help but become more and more excited.

"Master, you have to go with you when the time comes, this palace is the generalissimo of the world's soldiers and horses, and you are the second marshal."

"Your Royal Highness, let's find someone else to be the second marshal, the minister is allergic to the word two, and don't take the minister with you when you fight, I'm sick with blood."
