Daming Yuanfu

Chapter 193 Goodbye Liu Xian (Part [-])
When the car returned to the Gao University Scholars' Mansion, Gao Mo carefully woke up Gao Yushi. Gao Yushi, who was half asleep and half awake, returned to the backyard of the mansion and walked to his own small courtyard.As soon as he entered the gate of the courtyard, he saw Shangyue greeted him with a few letters in his hand, and said with a smile, "Young master, Xinzheng has sent you a letter."

After all, Gao Yushi is in the body of a child. He was a little sleepy at the moment, but he still managed to cheer up. He nodded and said, "Send it to my study." Then he walked directly towards the study, took only two steps, and then stopped , added: "Make another cup of strong tea."

Seeing that he didn't want to talk more, Shangyue didn't dare to ask more questions, and hurriedly followed after answering.

After entering the study, Gao Wushi picked up the letter and read it by himself, went to make tea while watching the moon, but was not in the yard listening to the piano, thinking that he had other things to do.

The first letter of the letter was written by his mother, Mrs. Zhang. In addition to various routine instructions, the main thing was to tell Gao Wushi that he wanted to find a few people who came to the capital. I have already started to pack up my belongings, and I expect to arrive in Beijing five or six days later than the letter.

In addition, he praised the soap made by his son as a good thing, and asked him if he had any plans to make more and sell it. If he sold it, the profit should be good.Even Mrs. Zhang said that if her son felt that the Gao family was not suitable for getting involved in these business affairs, she could ask her third brother—that is, Gao’s pragmatic third uncle, Zhang Sijiao—to borrow some people to take care of it.

Gao Wushi looked at it a little dumbfounded, and said that my cheap mother is indeed from the Zhang family in Puzhou. The first thing I saw when I saw the soap was to think that this thing can make money. It’s no different than Zhu Yijun who just remembered that this thing can be mixed with water. Bubble……

However, it is not okay to leave this matter to my mother, because if I leave it to my mother now, it is equivalent to handing it over to the Zhang family. After all, my mother does not have many business talents in her hand, so she must ask the third uncle to borrow it.

Gao Wushi is very clear about the close relationship between the third uncle and his mother, and it is unlikely that he will cheat on his own sister, but Gao Wushi has no intention of tying his prototype business empire to the Zhang family so closely right now.This is not because he doesn't trust his uncle's family, but because he is still too weak now. If the two sides combine together, Zhang Qiang will be stronger than weaker—this is not in line with Gao's pragmatic thinking, let alone his original intention of building his own business map .

If Gao Yushi just wants to make money and make a lot of money, then it is undoubtedly a good thing to cooperate with the Zhang family now: the capital has already started operations, and after meeting with Concubine Li Gui today, the soap royal tribute plan is more than half completed. The only thing left is for the emperor to nod at the end, and it is impossible for the emperor not to nod—the price offered by Gao Pragmatism is to supply 1 yuan of soap to the palace for free every year, and the proportion of specific styles is determined by the palace.

The price of these soaps, of course, is calculated according to the value of one tael per piece that has been thought of before.With Longqing's style, 1 taels of silver can be saved directly, why not?Fools don't want it!
Besides, the conditions required by Gao Yushi are simple, that is, the emperor allows Gao Yushi to divide this batch of soaps into men and women, and call them "Royal Tribute Supreme" and "Royal Tribute National Color". Royal tribute.At the same time, it is highly pragmatic to guarantee that the best soap will be used as a tribute, and only the next-level or worse products will be sold, and the words "Royal Tribute·Supreme" and "Royal Tribute·National Color" will never be used .

How could the emperor, who had gained all the benefits and face, refuse to agree?What's more, this item itself is an exclusive product, he is very pragmatic and doesn't supply it, so who can I get it from?
Businessmen these days are not savvy, and their business thinking is not unsophisticated, but after all, they are still in the era of farming civilization, and everyone has not yet realized the importance of the brand, let alone the importance of the "spokesperson".

But Gao Yushi is different as a time traveler. He is very aware of the importance of these two things. In a "feudal dynasty" like Daming, the most powerful brand is the "Emperor", and of course the most domineering spokesperson Also "emperor".

The emperor uses it, the emperor agrees... what else do you have to worry about?Hurry up and buy it!

So he is very optimistic about the future of the soap business—or the future of money. The Zhang family did not dare to underestimate her fame, and it would not be too late to talk about the alliance by then.

Gao Wushi replied to the letter casually, saying that he had other ideas about this matter, please don't worry about it too much, and then thanked her for recruiting talents for him, and asked her to pay more attention to her body and so on.

The other letters were written by specific people who came to thank the young master Liufang for his trust, and they were mostly clichés.Since everyone was about to arrive, Gao Yushi didn't bother to reply.

He originally planned to sleep for a while before going, but after replying the letter and having lunch, the effect of the cup of strong tea came on, and he couldn't fall asleep. After thinking about it, he decided to go out early and go to Cheng'en Temple, where Liu Xian was temporarily staying in Beijing. and go.

Cheng'en Temple is a very miraculous temple. The miraculous thing is that it has "three nos": no incense, no dojo, no temple.

The gate of this temple is closed all the year round. Since Zhengde built the temple five years ago, it has never been opened to the outside world for several decades. It is still the same now, which makes the temple shrouded in mystery all the time.

It stands to reason that temples generally open their doors to receive incense, because temples also need financial resources to maintain their daily operations, and monks also have to live. How can they do without income from incense?But Cheng'en Temple is different. It really doesn't open its doors at ordinary times, and it doesn't require incense to worship.

In front of the gate of the temple, the five characters "Chici Cheng'en Temple" are inscribed by Zhu Houzhao, Emperor Zhengde.From south to north, there are Shanmen Hall, Tianwang Hall, Daxiong Hall, Fatang and other four-entry halls.There are dozens of auxiliary halls and wing rooms on both sides of the main hall.Strangely, there are four stone watchtowers in the courtyard of this temple, which is really rare in domestic temples.

Although the temple is closed to the outside world and does not accept incense, the monks inside have no worries about food and drink, which shows that they have other sources of income.Gao Yushi's carriage stopped not far from the gate of the temple, and he got out of the carriage and walked on foot, not because he believed in Buddhism, but because there was a pair of dismounting stones in front of the gate of Cheng'en Temple.

Dismounting stones are usually found in imperial palaces and palaces, and have nothing to do with ordinary people. The presence of this thing at the gate of Cheng'en Temple shows that it is not an ordinary temple.

That's right, Cheng'en Temple was approved by Emperor Zhengde and built under the supervision of the eunuch Wen Xiang. It was originally used as a peripheral stronghold of the East Factory, and it was also used as a training ground for the school.Later, after Jiajing succeeded to the throne, because he was a powerful emperor who could suppress hundreds of officials without relying on eunuchs, the eunuchs once lost their power seriously, and the Cheng'en Temple was transferred to Jiajing's favored milk brother, Jin Yiwei Da. The governor, Lu Bing, became the outer stronghold of Jinyiwei.

But Lu Bing's weight, Jinyiwei actually does not lack this small stronghold, which is not too big, so it was suspended for some years.Later, for the sake of reputation, Lu Bing used some other courtyards of his own family as temporary residences for officials who came to Beijing. Thinking of Cheng'en Temple, he also took it out.

It's just that this place is a bunker tower and a school ground because of the problem of the establishment. Most of the civil servants are unwilling to come and live there.

Gao Wushi arrived early, although Liu Xian was a little surprised, but still very happy, and went out to greet him in person.
