In Zhu Yuanzhang's mind, he imagined that the people of Daming would be able to eat cheap white sugar in the future.

On his lips, he asked the ministers: "This is the first time that the white sugar factory has made a profit, and the ministers, do you want to share dividends?" ”

As soon as these words came out, the court became lively again.

Although the amount of money is not large, it represents the industry they are investing in.

It's finally starting to work.

Although I don't know what the net profit is for more than 50,000 taels of silver, after removing the cost.

However, it is also a happy event for the courtiers who bought the shares.

It's just that no one wants Zhu Yuanzhang's dividends.

On the contrary, he persuaded him: "Your Majesty, in the early days of the establishment of the White Sugar Factory, all aspects had to spend money. ”

"The minister suggests that you still keep this money to continue to produce white sugar, so as not to lose track of sales in the future."

The courtiers who usually drink white sugar all know that this thing is not worried about the market in the Ming Dynasty.

So no one is short-sighted, and only thinks about those meager dividends.

On the contrary, he still wanted to put money into it, trying to get the white sugar factory on the right track as soon as possible.

In this way, Fu Youwen doesn't have to worry about whether this money is stored in the household department or the inner treasury.

And after talking about the white sugar factory.

Zhao Mao, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites wearing a red robe, asked Zhu Yuanzhang: "Your Majesty, the fleet of the Duke of Xinguo to Nanyang is about to return to Yingtian, and according to the return of the officials of our Ministry of Rites to welcome Xiangrui, the Xiangrui sent by the country of Nanyang barbarians seems to be the unicorn among the four divine beasts. ”

"Dare to ask Your Majesty, on the day of the return of the Duke of Xinguo, will you organize hundreds of civil and military officials, and the people of Yingtianfu, to pay tribute to this ancient auspiciousness that has come to my Ming Dynasty."

As the word unicorn fell, the courtiers fell into a brief silence.

Although Liu Sanwu, a scholar of the university, had already said that the trip to Xinguo Gongtang and Nanyang would bring Xiangrui back.

However, because the messenger did not make it clear, although the ministers were excited, they forgot about it after the next court.

But after the people sent by the Ministry of Rites to greet the fleet recognized Xiangrui's identity, everyone became irrepressibly excited.

"Your Majesty, since the Spring and Autumn Period, there is no record of the appearance of the Qilin in my Huaxia land, if the messenger of the barbarian country sent the Qilin, it means that my Ming Dynasty has entered the unprecedented prosperity of ancient times."

"The minister also asked His Majesty to take the unicorn to Mount Tai to seal the Zen, and he has told heaven and earth."

Although I learned that there was a gang of barbarians, when I presented auspicious beasts to the Ming Dynasty.

There are also courtiers who mention the matter of Mount Tai sealing Zen.

However, because I didn't know what the so-called auspicious rui was at the time, it was exactly what it was.

Therefore, Zhu Yuanzhang did not take the matter of sealing Zen to heart.

But after Zhao Mao, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, confirmed that the Xinguo Gong Tang and what he brought back was the legendary unicorn in ancient times.

Regarding the matter of sealing Zen, he couldn't help but be a little moved.

Although Zhu Yuanzhang knew that he had made an alliance with Song Zhenzong and went to Mount Tai to seal the Zen, the shameless act of sealing the Zen had destroyed the sacredness of the Zen.

However, the unicorn incarnation represents a precursor that will be difficult to eliminate in the world.

According to the records of the ancients, after the appearance of this auspicious beast, there was no more suffering in the world.

In this way, Zhu Yuanzhang will not be ashamed.

On the contrary, it will reshape the meaning of this behavior to a layer of meditation.

I can't say it, when the world mentions Emperor Qin and Han Wu in the future, they will add him, the Hongwu Emperor.

The more Zhu Yuanzhang thought about it, the more excited he became.

After all, if he can achieve the achievement of Mount Tai's sealing of Zen, then coupled with his feat of driving out the Tartars and saving the Huaxia people from dire straits, the killing he has been criticized for is too heavy, and it is not enough to think about it.

However, Zhu Yuanzhang still forcibly stabilized his excitement.

He smiled faintly and said: "The matter of sealing Zen is not in a hurry, and after we and the people usher in the unicorn auspicious beast together, we will make a decision." ”

Although it is impossible for Zhao Mao, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, to fool the emperor with his own life.

But everyone is afraid that in case, before seeing the true face of the unicorn, if he talks too much in advance, once there is anything wrong, that day will become the laughing stock of future generations.

It's just that Zhu Yuanzhang is still quite excited about the fact that the unicorn is coming to Yingtian.

So much so that after the next dynasty, he didn't take the time to make up for sleep, but he dealt with a batch of twists and turns with high interest, and then took Liu Sanwu and Zhu Biao to the secret room next door to the Confucius Temple mansion.

……

Confucius Temple Mansion.

Lin Che looked at Zhu Zhang, and carefully put it on the table with a steaming kill.

When I opened the casserole, I saw a fragrant black chicken stewed inside.

He couldn't help laughing and said, "You didn't give it to me to eat, you gave it to the sister of the Xu family to eat, right?" ”

"You kid has been outside for a long time, and the commotion is quite big, the last time I came with your eldest brother, what went crazy?"

"Is there a master behind you? I actually thought about it, you kid is not small, be careful that your father has picked your skin and pumped your tendons! ”

Zhu Fan looked at Lin Che with a weak heart, hurriedly put the topic aside, and said, "What is wrong with Mr., I heard that the sister of the Xu family was injured, so I specially prepared black chicken, and prepared some high-quality medicinal materials in the Tai Hospital." ”

"These are the things I honor you."

Zhu Fan put a few plates of side dishes on the table, and smiled: "Sir, you often give lectures to our brothers, and you have to take care of the Xu family's sister recently, it's hard work, I'll get you some delicious food, shouldn't it?" ”

Lin Che took the chicken soup that Zhu Bai gave him, looked at Zhu Fan with a suspicious gaze, and did not embarrass his own student, but asked, "You really don't have anything to ask me?" ”

When Zhu Fan heard this, he showed an aggrieved expression that he was kind but was suspected.

As a result, he hasn't started acting yet.

Zhu Bai was the first to say: "Sir, we just want to ask, do you know how the Qilin came from?" ”

This question is not what Zhu Yuanzhang wants to ask, it is purely that this little broken child became curious about the legendary many auspicious beast unicorns after knowing that there was a state of tribute to the Ming Dynasty.

I also want to know if other divine beasts other than the unicorn also exist in the world.

Lin Che tasted the delicious chicken soup, but when he heard this, he couldn't help but laugh and said, "This thing was made up by people in ancient times, and there is no so-called divine beast in the world!" ”

Originally, because the Ming Dynasty was about to have an auspicious beast unicorn, Zhu Fan and the others had a proud look on their faces.

But after Lin Che gave a negative answer.

Their faces suddenly became extremely ugly.

Zhu Fan couldn't believe it and asked, "Sir, you're not kidding, are you?" How can the Kirin be a fake?! ”

"Don't be impatient!"

Lin Che gave Zhu Fan a look, then pinched his fingers casually, and said with a smile: "Is there an overseas state that pays tribute to the Ming Dynasty?" ”

Even though Zhu Fan had seen Lin Che's divine divination method many times, he could see his husband again, and his fingers moved a few times at will, and he calculated that Da Ming was about to obtain a qilin.

I couldn't help but be amazed in my heart, and I became more and more respectful of my husband.
