Chapter 203 Zhu Si's Grievance

Coming out of Zhu Youzhao's study room, Tang Yin and Zhu Hao walked together.

Regarding the offering of tribute, although Zhu Youzhao called Tang Yin, he didn't ask him too much for his opinion. It seemed that Zhu Youzhao had already decided this matter on his own, and he only wanted to see if everyone had any objections, and if not, he would implement it.

"You boy, it's really possible, you have done all the business in the palace."

There was no one around, Tang Yin finally broke the silence, with some teasing and dumbfounding in his tone.

He knew about Zhu Hao running a theater troupe, Su Xigui about drying salt, and then Zhu Hao running a colored glaze workshop.

After all, Tang Yin was still a traditional literati, he looked down on merchants, and felt that merchants could not create value, that was why Zhu Hao kept concentrating on his studies.

Now it seems... Zhu Hao actually brought his business to the palace, and King Xing still uses Zhu Hao's products as an important means to save the reputation of the Xing Palace and win the trust of the emperor... This is really beyond Tang Yin's cognition.

Zhu Haodao: "Businesses can only be bought and sold if they are in demand, and I didn't take the initiative to sell the telescope to the palace... By the way, Mr. Lu couldn't be jealous, so he made such an evaluation, right?"

"You...what do I evaluate you for?"

Tang Yin was even more speechless.

This kid, you speak with thorns, is this how you communicate with the teacher?

Do you know how to be polite?
Zhu Hao shrugged his shoulders: "Don't bother me in the future. I always feel that Mr. Lu wants to criticize me, but he can't find the right point. If Mr. Lu also wants to do business with you, just tell me and I will let you participate. One share."

Tang Yin didn't argue with Zhu Hao.

Having been with Zhu Hao for a long time, I know that Zhu Hao is eloquent and eloquent. He doesn't look like a naive and shy child at all.

"I would like to remind you out of good intentions that doing business with the imperial family is not a good job. If the imperial court really wants you to mass-produce, your things will no longer be yours, and you may be dragged by the imperial court. As a craftsman, from then on, even the road to imperial examinations will be cut off..."

Tang Yin and Zhu Hao were about to part ways, this reminder made Zhu Hao feel that Tang Yin was not a malicious person.

Zhu Hao nodded: "I have a sense of proportion and will make arrangements."

……

……

Business is business.

If the imperial court insisted on nationalizing the business of making telescopes, Zhu Hao's countermeasure was very simple, that is to push the Zhu family out.

At that time, I will transfer the technology to the big deal, and I can get a lot of benefits from the Zhu family.

For Zhu Hao, patents are just floating clouds, there is no need to hide them all the time, it seems that the secret recipe of drying salt was sold to Su Xigui without hesitation, and soon he has new technologies, launches new products, and occupies a certain area. A market that looks weird to outsiders.

The key point is to achieve the goal with technological progress.

Changing the era does not necessarily have to be done by oneself. As a person who is destined to become an official in the future, he still needs to "pursue".

Although the road to the imperial examination may not seem to be smooth sailing, there is still hope for Conglong Zhigong. Who made Zhu Houzhao really infertile in history?
"I just don't know, when this absurd and mischievous emperor will die, will there be a butterfly effect due to my arrival, and he will become an old guy who lives to be seventy or eighty years old... and my ideal Conglong Gong , Qing Yun straight up, so far away?

"No, no, no, in order to ensure that this guy belches sooner according to the development of history, I'd better find a way... To be a courtier to such a nonsense emperor, and to be a courtier to take the position is definitely not my pursuit!"

Zhu Hao was thinking all the way back to the school dormitory.

In class, Gongsunyi is giving a lecture to several children.

When Zhu Hao entered, Gongsunyi and the other children stared at him, as if to say, "Now you're not playing the game of being late and leaving early, and playing truancy instead?"

Zhu Hao said: "What are you looking at me for? The prince summoned me to discuss something important with me. In fact, I also want to come to class earlier."

Gongsunyi nodded knowingly, with a look of inferiority on his face.

This time he went back to Xing Wang's mansion, which was regarded as "entering the palace three times", but he didn't even have the qualification to see King Xing.

Forget it, people are more popular than people!
Why don't you still want to compare yourself with others? Isn't it a pleasure to find yourself?

"Zhu Hao, go back to your seat quickly, let's continue the lecture... save face, you should sleep less in the afternoon, and listen to me, is my speech better this time than before?"

Gongsun Yi has no face in the palace, and he doesn't try to save face, but is very modest. This is begging Zhu Hao to evaluate the quality of teaching for him.

Zhu Hao was going to sleep, but after listening to Gongsunyi's words, he could only listen patiently for a while, but Zhou Gong still came unexpectedly, and soon fell asleep at his desk... Listening to this guy's lecture, it's better to play chess with Zhou Gong.

……

……

"Zhu Hao, where's the telescope?"

When Zhu Hao woke up, it was already school time.

But this time he overslept and didn't leave school early. It was a pity that Zhu Hao actually wasted his good time on sleeping. Originally, he wanted to go back in the afternoon to improve his forging technology, and the next step was to make steel.

Zhu San, Zhu Si, Lu Bing, and Jing Hong were all sitting around him at this moment, looking at him with a few pairs of eyes, Zhu Hao even felt that there might be something unclean on his face.

Zhu Hao wiped his face casually, and replied, "It was taken away by King Xing. King Xing said that he planned to send the telescope as a tribute to the capital for the Ming army to spy on the enemy."

Zhu Siyi was anxious when he heard this: "How could my father be like this? Then... that is my baby... Third sister, it's all your fault! If you hadn't complained to mother, how could mother have confiscated my binoculars? You Pay me!"

Perhaps Zhu Si liked that thing so much that he rarely got angry with his sister, and his voice was crying.

This is in stark contrast to Zhu Siqian's usual polite appearance.

Zhu San wrinkled his nose and said, "Who told you not to let me play? Besides, when you play with that thing, it is easy to get addicted to it, and you don't want to make progress... You are the son of the prince, and you will inherit Xing Wangfu in the future. Hello...Zhu Hao is here, can you ask him to do it for you again?"

Originally, Zhu San wanted to present the facts and reason, but seeing his younger brother's murderous eyes, he turned to look at Zhu Hao with pleading eyes.

Obviously, she also knew that she had done something wrong, and for her own selfishness, she had an affair with her younger brother, which would make her alienated by her younger brother, and even boycotted by her classmates.

Zhu Hao said: "Binoculars...I'll do it later, don't be in a hurry, wait until summer and autumn, if we have a chance to go out for an outing, the sky is clear and clear, wouldn't it be better to bring a telescope to enjoy the scenery?"

Zhu Hao's words made Zhu Si's complexion better, but he was still very wronged, with tears in his eyes.

……

……

Zhu Hao walked out from the palace.

On that day, he was going to the troupe to deliver the playbook, and he planned to rehearse a new play in two to three days.

Just as he was about to leave the west gate of the palace, he heard hurried footsteps. When he looked closely, it was Jiang Lun and Lu Song trotting forward. Jiang Lun was holding the binoculars that King Xing had been playing with before.

"Mr. Jiang, Lu Dianzhan, are you...?"

When Zhu Hao saw the battle, it was clear that the opponent's target was him.

Jiang Lun walked over, his face was flushed, obviously the alcohol had not completely passed, he said with a smile: "Oh, I'm going to the capital soon to send tribute to the court, but how to use this thing, what should I pay attention to, I have to ask you carefully... Sometimes I don’t know how to adjust, and I can’t see clearly from a distance.”

His words can be regarded as indirectly explaining to Zhu Hao why the telescope appeared in his hand.

Since Jiang Lun is the envoy to deliver the tribute, if he can't even use it, how can he introduce the value of this thing to the people in the court?
And how to make the emperor feel that this thing can play a role on the battlefield?

Zhu Hao then explained the focusing problem to Jiang Lun in detail. Jiang Lun learned to look far away, stretching the lens barrel continuously, grinning happily, revealing two rows of big yellow teeth.

"Old Lu, how can I say that the person who made it is familiar with it? We studied it for a long time and couldn't figure it out, but now I understand everything after listening to it... It's so fun."

Jiang Lun, who was in his thirties, had a childlike innocence, and they were actually having fun there.

Zhu Hao really wanted to remind you, don't break things by stretching them back and forth like this, when the time comes, you will send a broken piece as a tribute?
Lu Song also found that Jiang Lun was a bit out of shape, so he quickly woke up: "My lord, as long as you know how to use this thing, reset it as soon as possible and keep it in a brocade box to avoid mistakes."

"Yep."

Jiang Lun smiled and closed the binoculars, slipping them into his bosom.

He looked at Zhu Hao: "Zhu Hao, are you going home? Just go with you, see how your workshop made this thing, learn from it."

It's really straightforward, how can you say so aboveboard by stealing technology?
What about the face?

Zhu Hao said helplessly: "The workshop has been occupied by the family, and now I don't have a workshop."

"what?"

Jiang Lun was taken aback, and couldn't help but glance at Lu Song, as if he was asking what happened to Lu Song.

Lu Song asked the key point for Jiang Lun: "Then, Young Master Zhu, if the imperial court really intends to ask for this item in large quantities, can you guarantee the supply?"

"It's not difficult."

Zhu Haodao, "The molding technology is in my hands. The Zhu family only got the production process of glassware. Many optical skills cannot be completed without systematic research. It is difficult for the glass workshop to imitate it." .”

Jiang Lun was surprised and said: "You mean, the Zhu family took the workshop back and could make colored glaze, but they couldn't make this thing? Isn't it so amazing? Colored glass... I have seen it before, where did I see it?" ...Oh, by the way, glazed beads are like precious stones..."

What Jiang Lun had seen was the marbles that Zhu Hao played for Zhu San and Zhu Si.

There is indeed colored glass these days, but it is impure and colored glass that deliberately increases the color of gemstones. There are many impurities, and it is impossible to be crystal clear.

Some people also use glass as a gem, but with the popularization of glass production technology, the value of colored glaze has dropped again and again.

At least in Daming, it can barely be considered a novelty at present.
