Zhu Houzhao brought in a wave of passenger flow.

When customers see the variety of goods, they are naturally full of interest, but when they see the price...... But it's a bit daunting.

“…… Everyone, please see, this is a mirror, which is much clearer than a bronze mirror, and a mirror is not expensive, two hundred yuan. The bigger ones are 400 ......"

"Look at this magnifying glass again, put it on something, and you can see the subtleties really, five hundred wen a piece. Tong Su is not bullied. ”

"If you have presbyopia, use this, called glasses, and you can see things close to your eyes."

At the same time as the shopkeeper Huang Li was selling, he also pulled over an elderly try-on.

After the wearer put it on, he found something for him to test.

The man was pleasantly surprised: "Sure enough, you can see it clearly!" ”

"This kind of glasses is a treatment for reading a lot and seeing the distance clearly!"

"Who believes it?"

"Don't say it, this boy comes and try!"

Later, a scholar was pulled over to test on myopic glasses.

When he put it on, he almost jumped up on the spot: "I saw it, I saw it!" ”

In these years, presbyopia is not taken seriously, but myopia, many people, especially scholars, wear glasses and do not wear glasses, and what they see is simply two worlds.

"How much silver does this thing cost?"

"A pair of silver can be made according to the rules of your eyes, so as to ensure that you can see things in the distance clearly and not get dizzy. Blessed are those who are usually blind. ”

"So expensive? Who is blind? ”

"It's good to have expensive. This son, I've seen the glasses, it's time to return them, don't keep it, if you break it, you will have to pay for it. ”

Huang Li saw that the scholar didn't want to buy it, so he came to join in the fun, and then grabbed the glasses back.

The reluctant appearance of the scholar makes people see that this is indeed a good thing, but it is useless for ordinary people.

"Is there anything cheaper?"

"Yes, there are glass cups here, thirty wen each. Crystal clear. ”

"Glass to make cups, we use porcelain cups are not cheaper than this? You can also use a bowl for tea. ”

Huang Li looked very arrogant: "The things we have here are of high grade, but these things are not available on the market. ”

Huang Li gave this group of people Amway, which made people feel that they could go to the pinnacle of life by buying a glass and going back.

"There are also glass beads, which can be said to be gemstones, ten cents a piece, if you want to buy it, please buy it early, and you will not wait ......for it to expire when it is sold out."

……

……

It's being marketed out there.

I don't know if I bought it, at least Zhu Hou took care of it and felt lackluster.

"There's nothing new, and I want to bring some more good things back." Zhu Houzhao looked very decadent.

came out to see the good things, and it turned out that what he saw was what he had experienced before.

Zhang Zhoudao: "I've been too busy recently, how can I have time to make any good things?" Follow me. ”

Then he took Zhu Houzhao to the backyard of the shop, where a "bicycle" made of iron and wood was welded, and the iron pipe that had been burned and cast before was used on it to form the main frame of the bicycle.

"What's this?" Zhu Houzhao was curious.

Zhang Zhou walked over and got on the bicycle, although there were no tires and the chain was very stiff, but he kicked up on the flat ground, and the appearance of two wheels running, shocked Zhu Houzhao.

"It's fun, give it to me!"

Then Zhu Houzhao wanted to go on his own.

Zhang Zhoudao: "You won't, just watch from the sidelines, I can't deal with it." ”

"It's okay, I'm not afraid of falling!"

Then Zhu Houzhao insisted on getting on the bicycle, which made Liu Jin and others who followed him anxious.

A group of people were holding and standing beside him, making Zhu Houzhao kick up.

Although this bicycle Zhang Zhou was originally not large, Zhu Houzhao still had a short leg, and his physical strength was not good, so he was tired and sweating profusely after being carried around by someone.

"Childe, let's come down." Liu Jin persuaded.

He knew that if Zhu Houzhao was allowed to fall again, it would not be as simple as being beaten when he went back.

Zhu Houzhao was tired and happy.

He got off the bike and wiped the sweat from his head: "It's okay! ”

Zhang Zhou squinted beside him and said, "If you like it, I can order a set for you, build it according to your height, and add a set of protective gear for you." ”

"Okay!" Zhu Houzhao happily agreed, "Is five hundred taels of silver enough?" ”

Gao Feng hurriedly said, "Your Highness, you don't need so much silver. ”

Liu Jin originally wanted to say it, but now he didn't dare to dismantle Zhang Zhou's platform, and there was a stupid look next to him, obviously he also felt that the prince was going to be wronged.

Zhu Houzhao scolded: "The palace's own silver, how you want to spend it!" Even if he is given 5,000 taels, it is the master's willingness! ”

"Alright."

Zhang Zhou said angrily, "I can give you things, but you can't play with them, it depends on whether Your Majesty agrees, and you don't want to be too happy." I'll show you one more thing. ”

This time, there was no need for Zhang Zhou to say hello, Zhu Houzhao threw the bicycle to Gao Feng on the side, and followed Zhang Zhou in.

Zhang Zhou gave him a small thing to play with in the palm of his hand, and Zhu Houzhao held it in his hand, not figuring out what it was.

"What?"

"Smash the gun." Zhang Zhoudao.

Zhu Houzhao frowned: "This is useful?" ”

Zhang Zhou smiled, took it, and held it up to the sky.

"Bang bang!"

Six rings in a row.

Zhu Houzhao's eyes were shining, as if he had never seen such a fun thing.

"I'm coming!"

As he spoke, Zhu Houzhao snatched the revolver gun from it, and then pulled the trigger, but there was no sound at all.

"Broken?" Zhu Houzhao is unknown.

Liu Jin next to him was so frightened that he almost covered his ears and asked, "Mr. Zhang, what is this?" Not dangerous, right? ”

Zhang Zhou smiled and shook his head: "It's not dangerous." ”

As he spoke, he broke open the smashing gun and took out the gunpowder that was responsible for making a sound...... In fact, the material is a little black powder and red phosphorus, not even potassium chlorate, because the red phosphorus itself has a low ignition point, and the ignition is completed by pulling the trigger, just like the principle of fire folding, directly igniting the black powder in a small area to make the sound of firecrackers.

This is also something that Zhang Zhou researched in order to make new firearms.

The craftsman he found in the East Factory was very experienced in casting copper parts, so this revolver smashing gun was made of copper.

Zhang Zhou mainly used this to complete the manufacture of fixed castings such as springs and triggers, and to complete the test of mechanical sensitivity and durability with the smashed guns made by the group.

To put it bluntly, this is a semi-finished toy for experimentation, and it does not have any lethal power.

"Try again!"

Saying that, Zhang Zhou handed over the smashing gun to Zhu Houzhao.

Then Zhu Houzhao can finally achieve the cool action of "Western Cowboy", although he himself doesn't know what he is doing.

……

……

took Zhu Houzhao to play in the backyard.

Huang Li hurriedly came over to find Zhang Zhou, and said excitedly: "Owner, the deal is done." ”

"How many?" Zhang Zhou asked.

Huang Li looked at the childish man who had come to buy goods before, sitting with his own owner, still playing with something in his hand, and he was still a little puzzled by what kind of person this was.

He smiled and said: "A lot of orders, especially glass mirrors, and glasses, are the most popular." There are also those who buy glasses...... It's almost sold out. ”

As he spoke, Huang Li showed Zhang Zhou the account book he had just recorded.

"Yes, I earned more than forty taels of silver, and the income is okay." Zhang Zhou nodded, and then looked at Zhu Houzhao on the side, "The business has been fruitful, you don't have any ideas?" ”

Zhu Houzhao pouted: "It's only forty taels of silver, what about sending it to Huazi?" ”

Zhang Zhoudao: "Sell forty taels a day, how much can you sell in a year?" ”

"This ......" Zhu Houzhao was tested for a while, and asked after a while, "More than 10,000 taels?" That seems like a good idea. ”

For the first time in his life, he made money by pit two uncles, and only earned more than 6,000 taels of silver, if Zhang Zhou is such a small shop, he can sell more than 10,000 taels a year, then the relationship is very good.

"It's fifty percent of me, right?" Zhu Houzhao suddenly became interested in this business again.

When Huang Li heard this, his face instantly sank.

What kind of person is this, a bear child, who dares to come up and ask his own owner for fifty percent of the profit?

Zhang Zhoudao: "Okay, give you fifty percent, but you don't expect to make this profit every day in the future, today is to sell a fresh, engage in impulse consumption, this group of people buy back and find that it is useless, they will think about returning, of course they will not give them back." But they definitely won't come back in the future......"

"If you have money, you can make so much." Zhu Houzhao smiled.

Don't make money, just have fun.

Zhang Zhou nodded: "Then if there is any partnership in the future, it will be fifty-fifty shares, and the management is mine, if you agree, we will sign the contract." ”

"Again?" Zhu Houzhao remembered that when he partnered with Zhang Zhou to open a bookstore before, he also did this, and frowned, but then waved his sleeves, "Take the pen, the palace is going to sign." ”

……

……

Zhang Zhou signed a 55-5 contract with Zhu Houzhao.

Zhu Houzhao felt that he had made money, and the eunuch next to him also felt that Zhang Zhou was so generous that he had no friends, and he had a business with sales of forty taels in less than an hour on the first day of opening, and he actually gave up half of the prince? Is this still Zhang Gongsheng who slammed the door?

But Zhang Zhou took the contract, but he was complacent.

For the traverser, making money is a trivial matter, and what is needed is this kind of equal and mutually beneficial cooperation model.

"Owner, who is that? Why do you want to divide him in half? ”

Huang Li felt that his owner was crazy.

Zhang Zhou pulled Huang Li's sleeve into the room, pointed at Zhu Houzhao and said, "Reacquaint yourself, this Zhu Gongzi is also half of your owner." Go over and say hi. ”

"East ...... Small proprietors. Huang Li saluted.

Zhu Houzhao smiled and said: "I'm very good at doing business, what kind of business will I do in the future, let you be the shopkeeper." ”

Zhang Zhou smiled and nodded.

When he is young, he will draw cakes for people and win people's hearts.

Huang Li asked again: "What kind of business is the little proprietor's house doing?" ”

"Bold!"

Gu Dayong next to him couldn't listen to it, you are the shopkeeper of the market, you do chores, dare to ask the prince's family what kind of business?

Huang Li looked confused.

I asked what kind of business, and it was taboo?

Zhang Zhou said with a smile: "Our Zhu Gongzi is extravagant, and he doesn't need to do business to make money, just get to know him." Go out and continue to take care of the counter. ”

"Yes, yes."

Huang Li left with doubts.

Zhu Hou looked at Huang Li's back and said with a smile: "The person you are looking for is quite interesting." ”

Zhang Zhoudao: "It's not funny, it's the philistine spirit of the market, for him, he only runs around for the livelihood in front of him, and socializes with people because of his livelihood." In his eyes, there is no difference between the prince and ordinary people. ”

"Huh?"

Zhu Houzhao was very confused when he heard it, he just commented that a person was interesting, what are you telling me?

Zhang Zhoudao: "If you are still in the mood, come out with me to see the faces of all beings in this market, let's go." ”

"Hmm."

Zhu Houzhao didn't know what Zhang Zhou wanted to do, but he felt that Zhang Zhou was very profound, so he followed behind Zhang Zhou and went to see Huang Li deal with people in the market.

……

……

Inside the Qianqing Palace.

Zhu Youzhu was busy with the day's work, and seeing the sunset, he asked Dai Yi next to him: "Is the prince back?" ”

"Not back yet."

Dai Yi said, "But I think it's going to be soon." ”

"Hmm."

Although Zhu Youzhu agreed to let his son out of the palace, he was still not at ease.

waited until after sunset before Xiao Jing came back to say, "Your Majesty, the prince has returned to the palace." Everything went smoothly. ”

Zhu Youzhu smiled and nodded: "How does he get along with Bingkuan?" ”

"Very good."

Later, Xiao Jing informed the emperor in detail about Zhu Houzhao's situation outside the palace.

Xiao Jingxue was smart that day, and he didn't show up in person, but secretly observed around, so that he could also look at the problem from an objective point of view.

“…… Mr. Zhang also signed a contract with the prince, saying that he had earned silver and divided it into fifty and fifty shares. In one hour, it was sold for 40 taels, and Mr. Zhang reported that the profit was 30 taels. A lot of ...... were sold in the follow-up," Xiao Jing said cautiously.

The courtier's partnership with the prince to do business sounds like nonsense.

But Zhang Zhou just did it.

And he did it so uprightly and brightly, he didn't use the prince's money and efforts, but gave the prince profits.

Zhu Youzhu frowned and said, "Bingkuan, what are you going to do?" ”

Even the emperor had great trust in Zhang Zhou, and he couldn't understand Zhang Zhou's intentions, and the few eunuchs next to him didn't understand what medicine was sold in Zhang Zhou's gourd.

Xiao Jing said again: "After that, Mr. Zhang also explained some reasoning to His Royal Highness the Prince, saying that the people in this market are all focused on immediate interests and only deal with people within the scope of interests. Then he also saw with the prince how ordinary people exchanged money for things...... There are a lot of things mentioned later, but they are not the content of the subset of scripture and history, but involve the daily life of the people. ”

"Hmm." Zhu Youzhu nodded, "Bingkuan has good intentions, and I want to make the prince understand the hardships of the world in this way." Hehe, Bingkuan usually cares so much about money, but he is willing to give half of it to the prince, which is not easy. ”

The emperor didn't think that Zhang Zhou had too bad intentions.

The matter of making money, half of the son, the emperor does not think that the silver is stinky, Xiaozong, as an emperor who knows how to govern the country, naturally knows that almost all the troubles in the Ming Dynasty come from "lack of money".

Whether it is governing the country or the family, it is based on the economy.

I heard that Zhang Zhou's business can sell for forty taels an hour, and the net profit is about thirty taels, and half of his son's ......

Did the father say to his courtiers, "Don't give the prince the money, don't spoil him?"

He originally asked the prince to go to Zhang Zhou's place just to learn, if he was to learn the Four Books and Five Classics, there was no need to find Zhang Zhou, he just felt that he could learn from Zhang Zhou what Hongru could not learn.

As an emperor.

Zhu Youzhi knew very well how much that miscellaneous knowledge would be of great help to the crown prince in governing the country in the future.
