Chapter 13 Cooperation

Rong Zhao raised his head and looked ahead with a smile: "Look, didn't the emperor's people come to discuss with me?" ”

Rong Ping and Xie Hong looked up, only to see a carriage in the palace coming towards their Zhuangzi, and as the carriage got closer and closer, a eunuch lifted the curtain and looked in their direction.

Screen: "......"

- What a god.

The eunuch got out of the carriage, and after saluting politely, he explained his intentions.

It was the Emperor who saw a strange fire here and sent him to ask what was happening.

Rong Ping hurriedly stepped forward and explained simply: "It was the dog who brought people out to make fireworks." ”

"What are fireworks?"

Rong Ping thought for a moment and replied, "Improved firecrackers." ”

Eunuch: "......"

Rong Zhao stepped forward and handed out a piece of paper with a gentle attitude: "Father-in-law, this is the recipe for fireworks, please transfer it to the emperor on behalf of Rong Zhao." ”

The eunuch and Rong Ping were both stunned.

Especially Rong Ping, subconsciously looking at that square.

- When did you bring this thing?

- She already knew that the emperor's men would come tonight?

Of course, the eunuch would not refuse, and raised his hand to take it.

Rong Zhao said at this time: "But this recipe is made by a Taoist priest, which is extremely dangerous, and there is still a little poisonous gas when making it." Although the poisonous gas is weak, it may be dangerous to contact it for a long time. ”

The eunuch paused slightly, and instantly felt that the prescription in his hand was a little heavy.

Rong Zhao smiled sincerely and shyly: "This thing may also cause a fire, and everyone who is close to it will be injured, please ask your father-in-law to tell the emperor on your behalf, it is best to use it only in the imperial village, away from the palace." ”

Eunuch: "......"

- He wanted to return the recipe.

Rong Zhao scratched his head: "This recipe is dangerous, if Rong Zhao didn't want to repay the 80,000 taels of silver, I am afraid he would not have made it." ”

After a pause, she couldn't hide her worry and proposed: "You must tell the emperor to stay away, father-in-law, you are the one who devotes the party, the emperor is afraid that the father-in-law will be responsible for manufacturing, and the father-in-law must also be careful." ”

Eunuch: "............"

- Shizi, or you should not offer a prescription!

Rong Zhao: "In addition, please convey to your father-in-law that if the emperor makes people produce fireworks, don't sell them, fireworks are dangerous, and if they catch fire, they may cause a big disaster in Beijing." ”

She smiled shyly: "Of course, this also has Rong Zhao's selfishness, Rong Zhao pointed to the fireworks and Fuluzhuang to pay back 80,000 taels of silver, Fuluzhuang will be careful to produce fireworks, if the emperor needs, Rong Zhao will definitely supply fireworks for the royal family for free." ”

is a face-saving person today, and he praised Rong Zhao's filial piety before.

Now that the news of Rong Zhao's business has been released, it is naturally impossible for the emperor to openly prevent Rong Zhao from earning money to repay his debts.

If he wants Fang Zi to make it himself, he has to spend 80,000 taels to appease Rong Zhao and avoid criticism from others.

Eighty thousand taels for a dangerous, poisonous, and can't be sold into the market, and the on-call, free supply of Fuluzhuang fireworks, how to choose, do you need to say?

Eunuch: "Don't worry, the slave and maid will definitely bring the words as they are." ”

- No, no, no, he won't tell the truth.

- He'll add fuel and vinegar!

This thing is poisonous and can hurt people at any time, what if the emperor makes him responsible?!

So, let's stay in Fuluzhuang to produce this thing!

The eunuch hurriedly returned, and the emperor was still waiting for him to return.

Rong Zhao smiled at his back.

Next to him, Rong Ping looked at Rong Zhao strangely: "You have already done it?" Giving advice to the emperor in advance is because of this firework? ”

Rong Zhao's head was bowed.

She turned her head and ordered: "Stone, let Xun Daochang prepare, the emperor may not produce it himself, but he will definitely be curious to study its effect, and he will be passed into the palace tomorrow, remember to tell him, do what I said before, you don't need to make it at one time." ”

Stone: "Yes! ”

Rong Ping suddenly realized.

Old man Xun is a Taoist priest, when he is old this year, he is taboo about Taoist priests, even if the emperor is curious and wants to study, as long as Old Man Xun "fails" once and explodes a little spark, the emperor will definitely not leave Old Man Xun in the palace.

This thing is also poisonous, and these are the most taboo in the palace.

Rong Zhao thought of all aspects, not only would he not let the emperor take away the industry, but he could also use the emperor to make a name for the fireworks...... What a calculation!

Thinking about what she told Xie Hong, Rong Ping's eyes were even deeper, and he looked at Rong Zhao deeply.

Rong Zhao turned his head to look at him and smiled: "Father, the child didn't disappoint you, did he?" ”

Rong Ping couldn't get used to her proud appearance, snorted coldly, and sneered: "What if you keep the fireworks?" What if someone books Fu Lu Zhuang? You have spent all 100,000 taels of silver, and the March period is coming soon, what will you pay? ”

Rong Zhao opened this way, as long as someone booked and had a business, it would be in March to sell the Anqing Wangfu property to pay off the debt, and there would not be too many voices scolding her as a "loser".

So—

He raised his chin and waited for Rong Zhao to beg his father for help.

However, Rong Zhao's smile remained unchanged: "Father, there is not only one way to repay the debt, don't worry." ”

was blocked back again, Rong Ping was annoyed and angry: "Then I want to see how you pay it back?" ”

After speaking, he continued to ridicule: "The dignified prince of Anqing Wangfu, in order to repay his debts, he made himself a businessman, if he can't pay it back, then it is ridiculous and generous!" ”

Rong Ping actually admires Rong Zhao's "Fulu Village", and he repays his debts by hosting banquets, but he can't help but applaud in his heart.

But the "unfilial girl" refused to say a soft word, and Rong Ping stalked his neck and said something unpleasant.

Rong Zhao shook his head helplessly: "I'm not going to be a businessman, father will wait and see." ”

What she wants to do has always been a capitalist, this is just her first shot in Beijing, and the road to capital has just begun.

Rong Zhao raised his hand and saluted: "Father, Zhang Sangongzi is still waiting for the child, and the child will retire first." ”

With that, she turned and left.

"Wait, haven't you forgotten who you are?!" Rong Ping raised his voice, anxious in his heart.

Rong Zhao is a woman dressed as a man!

But not only does he not avoid people, but he keeps wandering in front of people, in case people see through it......

However, Rong Zhao waved his hand and did not look back.

"It's really bold...... Rong held his breath and gritted his teeth: "There is still that debt, I see how you can pay it back!" ”

When Rong Zhao's back disappeared, he turned around and ordered his entourage: "Bring the account books of the Anqing Palace, and I'll see which ones can be sold quietly......"

Xie Hong: "......"

- Lord Wang, didn't you say that it doesn't matter?

-

Zhang Changyan waited for most of the hour!

The more he waited, his face darkened, he turned to look at the servant and sneered: "How long will you have to wait?" Didn't the prince of the world regret it and was not ready to pay off the debt? ”

When the words landed, a voice sounded: "Brother Zhang has been waiting for a long time, but Rong Zhao is late." ”

Hearing this, Zhang Changyan let out a sigh of relief.

- He is also afraid that Rong Zhao will regret it, and now that Rong Zhao has appeared, he should not regret it, right?

"The prince is here, but what about the money?" A little salute, he couldn't wait to ask.

It stands to reason that if he was asked to wait for more than half an hour, he would be angry, after all, even the prince didn't let the third son of Prime Minister Zhang Cheng's family wait so long!

But whoever owes money is the uncle, as long as you can get the money smoothly today, it will be worth waiting for as long as you want.

Opening your mouth and closing your mouth is money, which shows how miserable Zhang Changyan was forced by 20,000 taels during this time.

Rong Zhao motioned for him to sit down, and he sat down next to him, instructing, "Change a pot of tea." ”

Then she looked at Zhang Changyan and was surprised: "How did Zhang Sangongzi clear it?" ”

Zhang Changyan: "......"

- Why is Lao Tzu thin, don't you know?!

He took a deep breath, and his eyes were resentful: "I borrowed 20,000 taels from my father to the son, demolished the east wall to make up the west wall in the past two months, and even borrowed usury, why do you say I reduced it?" ”

When Rong Zhao heard this, he pretended to be surprised: "Is this so?" Then why didn't Brother Zhang tell the prime minister as soon as possible? ”

Zhang Changyan was too lazy to talk nonsense, and stretched out his hand directly: "The prince promised to return the money to me as soon as the banquet is over." ”

Rong Zhao nodded: "Yes, it should be returned to Brother Zhang." ”

She sighed, her eyes sincere: "Thank you Brother Zhang for your generosity and help Rong Zhao get through the difficulties, but Rong Zhao wants to be famous, and it is not good to use his father's money, so he can pay it back now." ”

Zhang Changyan was stunned and puzzled: "You don't need the money from the Anqing Mansion to repay the money now?" ”

As far as Rong Zhao's spending speed in the past two months, I'm afraid that 100,000 taels have been spent, right?

So where is the money?

When Rong Zhao heard this, he suddenly smiled brightly, his face was full of red light, and he shook his head: "Of course not, do you know why Zhang Sangongzi waited so long?" Rong Zhao is going to receive guests from various prefectures who have booked banquets! ”

"Provinces?" Zhang Changyan looked dazed, "Many people booked? ”

Rong Zhao smiled proudly and proudly: "Naturally, whether it is the garden, wine and food, or fireworks, they are all unique in Beijing, that is, the palace has sent people, Rong Zhao has received nearly ten families tonight, and there will only be more tomorrow." ”

Zhang Changyan couldn't help but be curious when he saw her proudly like this: "This ...... Profitable? ”

Rong Zhao looked at him, picked up the teapot and drank saliva, and naturally handed over the cup, Zhang Changyan picked up the teapot and poured it for her.

Inexplicably, Zhang Changyan felt that this picture was a little familiar......

Rong Zhao quickly spoke, interrupting his association: "Naturally, I wouldn't say it to ordinary people, but the third prince and I are brothers, so I will secretly reveal it to you." ”

She leaned over and lowered her voice: "The price of the Fuluzhuang banquet is transparent, the venue fee is a fixed amount, one hundred taels of the entire garden a day, everything is maintained by the people of the palace." ”

A hundred taels?

Bag such a beautiful garden for a whole day, a hundred taels is not cheap, but it is really not expensive.

But what is one hundred taels compared to Rong Zhao's debt?

Before he could ask, Rong Zhao continued: "In addition, there is a table fee, and each table serves different dishes according to the price, ranging from five taels to thirty taels and one tables, and the prices are different, and the dishes are naturally different. ”

After a pause, she added: "Today's reservations are all for some families, and the extra reservations are twenty taels and thirty taels for one table, and the minimum is ten taels." ”

Zhang Changyan gasped.

The wealthy families in Beijing held a banquet, and there were fifty tables of guests casually!

Rong Zhao is still calculating for him: "There is also a fireworks show, this one is more expensive, it is calculated according to the box, a box of twenty fireworks, the price is one hundred taels, the nobles in Beijing are low-key, most of them book five to ten boxes." ”

She got closer, and her delicate face was simply a beauty crit, but Zhang Changyan didn't care about it, his mind was immersed in Rong Zhao's "calculation".

He heard Rong Zhao say: "According to the calculation of fifty tables of guests, twenty taels per table, and five boxes of fireworks, it will be close to two thousand taels per day!" ”

Is it more than two thousand taels?

A lot!

But a family doesn't have a feast every day, and at the end of the year, at best, three or five banquets are held.

It also costs a lot of money to do it in your own home.

It is expensive in Fuluzhuang, but it can be done very well, with face, and relaxed.

Rong Zhao: "Excluding all costs, there should be nearly 1,000 taels of income every day, which is only calculated according to the minimum, and you can earn tens of thousands of taels casually a year." ”

Zhang Changyan gasped again, he couldn't believe it: "Tens of thousands of taels? Someone holds a feast in Fulu Village every day? ”

He poured tea for Rong Zhao diligently, and his tone was eager: "Shizi, you can tell me in detail, I still don't understand." ”

Rong Zhao nodded of course: "How many wealthy families are there in Beijing?" The elderly in the family have to live every year, and marriages are common, and some people will have a banquet when they have children. At present, Fuluzhuang has not been completely opened, and then Jingzhong, the surrounding gentry, and the wealthy businessmen can also hold banquets in Fuluzhuang. ”

She looked yearning: "Of course, Fuluzhuang gives priority to receiving dignitaries and nobles, but if you think about it, those businessmen will not mind ranking behind the nobles, the businessmen and gentry are the richest, I am afraid that the banquet will only be grander, and the fireworks will be ordered more, and it is possible to have thousands of taels a day." ”

Thousands of taels!

That year, 30,000 taels is the minimum profit? Is it possible to have fifty thousand taels or one hundred thousand taels?

Zhang Changyan was already stunned by a string of numbers.

Huge profits!

What is the venue fee, table fee, and cigarette cost...... It sounds like it's all money, money, money.

After calculating this account, Zhang Sangongzi was dumbfounded, as if the sky was pounding with silver.

After a while, he said: "This is also ...... It's so profitable. ”

"If I don't make money, why do I work so hard? Making money is only one aspect, fame is the key, I remember I told Brother Zhang that I want to leave the Anqing palace to earn a reputation, and it has been quite effective. Rong Zhao smiled heartily.

Zhang Changyan cried with envy.

The silver rain belongs to someone else's family, and the fame is also someone else's family.

Rong Zhao did it, the two had only talked for more than two months, and Rong Shizi had already become famous, but he was still an unfilial son in his father's mouth, and a gentleman in the mouth of outsiders......

This man is more angry than people.

Zhang Changyan's eyes were jealous, and he couldn't wait to kill Rong Zhao himself.

At this time, Rong Zhao glanced at Zhang San and sighed-

"Alas, it's a pity, I actually wanted to get Brother Zhang to partner at the beginning, but at that time, Rong Zhao was embarrassed to mention it, just borrowed it from Brother Zhang. If Brother Zhang had partnered with me at that time, the thousands of taels of income per day would have been half of Brother Zhang's. ”
