Jinyi champion

Chapter 90 The Way to Make Money (Second Update)

Jinghong originally regarded Zhu Hao as a competitor, but after seeing Zhu Hao's talent, he was overwhelmed. This time he thought he was speaking for Zhu Hao with loyalty, but in the ears of Zhu Youzhao and Yuan Zonggao, it was too naive and childish.

"Okay, you go back first."

Yuan Zonggao waved Jinghong back.

After Jinghong went out, Yuan Zonggao looked at Zhu Youzhuo and asked, "What is King Xing's opinion?"

Zhu Youzhu got up from his seat, with a puzzled look on his face: "But Tang Yin really has such ability, and after only ten months of cultivating Zhu Hao, his talent can suddenly increase to the point where it surpasses that of a scholar or a scholar?"

Yuan Zonggao said: "Prince Ning has shown the opposite. If Tang Yin is as amazing and talented as the legends say, he will definitely not stay in Nanchang for a long time. The palace may take the opportunity to recruit him... Even if it is just to teach him as a prince, the palace will not be ashamed. It’s something worth celebrating.”

The two of them had talked about Tang Yin's talent before and thought of using it for themselves, but after all, Tang Yin did not take the initiative to contact Xing Wangfu, and Xing Wangfu never offered an olive branch.

"Yuan Changshi, you can handle it according to your own circumstances. The post of tutor in the palace must always be filled by someone who is capable." The implication is that Zhu Youzhuo entrusted Yuan Zonggao with full authority to recruit Tang Yin.

He just had such an idea before, but now he wants to put it into action, try to get in touch with Tang Yin, and see if he has any plans to join Prince Xing's Mansion.

Yuan Zonggao saluted respectfully: "I will make arrangements here."

……

……

After Jinghong met King Xing and Yuan Zonggao, he went back with a heavy heart.

When he saw Zhu Hao in the afternoon, he didn't dare to face him face to face, for fear that Zhu Hao would be kicked out of Prince Xing's mansion and he would become a shameful accomplice.

"Zhu Hao, Xiaosi and I showed our faces in front of the king today. You are the one who taught us well... Of course, Mr. Gongsun also deserves credit. He entrusted you with the teaching. This is his smartest place. .”

When Zhu San came to the school, his smile was very bright.

In front of her father, she praised that Gongsunyi's teaching quality is excellent, but in fact, she pretended to be confused and did it on purpose.

Zhu Size said: "It's a pity that I didn't ask my father for a reward, otherwise it would be good to go to the palace to watch a play."

Ever since Zhu Hao watched "Three Attacks on the Bone Demon", Zhu Si has been thinking about the scenes on the stage from time to time recently. His studies seem to be improving rapidly, but that is mainly due to Zhu Hao's proper teaching methods. All my mind is on reading.

Zhu Houcong has high aptitude, but he can't fully concentrate on studying. Like his sister, he is too playful.

Zhu Hao's eyes fell on Jinghong, and he asked, "It seems that Yuan Changshi also called you, what did he say to you?"

"No... didn't say anything."

The worries in Jinghong's heart were all written on his face.

But he still wanted to pretend to be nonchalant, and didn't dare to confront Zhu Hao directly.

Zhu Hao secretly speculated that it is impossible for the palace not to know the weight of Gongsun's clothes. Once they find that Zhu San and Zhu Si's learning progress is accelerating, they will definitely suspect that there are other reasons.

Calling Jinghong over to ask questions is mostly about the situation in class.

Isn't Zhu Hao very worried that he will be targeted by the palace, I will help you teach the prince, you don't thank me, and you want to drive me away?What's the point?
If you really think that I have ulterior motives and deliberately target them, then it is meaningless for me to stay in the palace. Anyway, I have already known Zhu Houcong. Would it be better to come to class?

At this time, Zhu Hao didn't care so much about whether he stayed in the palace, and he was a little tired of being a companion.

He has to go through all the things he is familiar with in class, which is extremely boring. Now he wants to go out and wander around Daming. Unfortunately, age is always a big problem, and now he Without fame, it is too inconvenient to go to other places.

Just as he was thinking about something, Gongsun Yi appeared at the door of the school with a radiant face. He did not bring a lesson plan, but came to class with only a copy of "Mencius".When he got to the podium, he looked at Zhu Hao with a smile, knowing that he had taken advantage of Zhu Hao.

"It's time to give a lecture. In this way, I will read it to you first. You must memorize the collection of chapters and sentences. It's almost time...Let Zhu Hao tell you his thoughts, let's start!"

Zhu San stuck out his tongue when he heard this.

This gentleman really didn't treat Zhu Hao as an outsider, this class has completely become Zhu Hao's stage, so why do you want Gongsun Yi?Just put it there as a vase to look good?

……

……

The days of the palace passed day by day.

In a blink of an eye, it entered the twelfth lunar month.

As the temperature dropped to freezing point, the sun-dried salt stalls outside the city basically stopped, and large-scale production of salt would have to wait until next year, but Su Xigui's demand for refined salt did not stop.

At the beginning of the twelfth lunar month, Su Xigui went to Anlu in person, and wanted to talk to Zhu Niang about why the "salt sieving" has stopped recently. Could it be that your salt selection is also affected by weather and seasonal changes?Or is it not sifted salt at all, but refined salt made by other methods?
After Zhu Niang learned of Su Xigui's intentions, she didn't dare to face it, and kept saying that she was sick.

After Zhu Hao returned home on the afternoon of the fourth day of the twelfth lunar month, Zhu Niang took Zhu Hao to a teahouse next to the inn where Su Xigui stayed.

"Mrs. Zhu, you really made me wait a long time. I have been here for three days before I saw you. The refined salt business has lasted for half a year, and now the supply has suddenly decreased by a large amount. You just found a better one." Buyer, plan to part ways with someone like Su? Don't forget who helped you when you were in trouble!"

Su Xigui made trouble when he came up.

Su Xigui actually wanted to know how Zhu Niang got so much refined salt.

Based on his news channels, he found out that Zhu Niang was still selling salt secretly. He thought Zhu Niang was selling refined salt, but after careful investigation, he found out that Zhu Niang had resold the salt he gave.

When the two parties cooperated happily, Su Xigui naturally turned a blind eye, but now that Zhu Niang's salt supply is low, of course he will come to cause trouble.

Zhu Niang wanted to apologize, but Zhu Hao who was at the side smiled and took the blame: "Su Dongzhu, you must have made a lot of money in the past six months, right?"

Su Xigui narrowed his eyes and looked at Zhu Hao.

There was a different meaning in his eyes, and he said after a while: "Young Master Zhu, I haven't seen you in half a year. You are as eloquent as ever. You don't even think about it. How much salt did you offer? This little salt...at most is to maintain those wealthy families. The daily consumption of big households is nothing more than a reputation, but as for making money...hehe, it’s a drop in the bucket.”

Zhu Hao said: "Listen to Su Dongzhu, do you want to take our prescription back and make a lot of money? With the manpower and material resources you have, it is easier to make money...isn't it?"

Su Xigui smiled, no longer concealed, nodded and said: "If there is such a prescription, the price is easy to negotiate."

Simple and rude!
Fangzi is in the hands of you small households, how much salt can you sift out for me?Why don't you sell me the recipe, and I'll find more people to do it, wouldn't that be more efficient than you guys?
Zhu Niang hurriedly said, "We won't sell prescriptions."

Su Xigui's face darkened immediately when he heard this.

But Zhu Hao said: "It's not that Fangzi can't give it to you. After all, we can't make a lot of money in our hands, but this can make Su Dongzhu a lot of money... But I'm afraid that we will try to ask for benefits at that time. Su Dongzhu will turn his face and deny anyone!"

Su Xigui frowned: "Is this the kind of ungrateful and ungrateful person?"

"We naturally believe in Su Dongzhu's character, but the problem is that the interests involved behind it are too great. One step further, Huang Fantai's submission of this prescription to the imperial court may bring about revolutionary changes in the Ming Dynasty's salt industry. It is of great help to Huang Fantai's official career, this time..."

What Zhu Hao meant was that it's not that this prescription cannot be sold, but it depends on how much it is worth.

Su Xigui looked at Zhu Hao eagerly: "Please make an offer."

Just as Zhu Hao was about to say something, Zhu Niang hurried to hold her son's hand... It was obviously an exclusive money-making business, so why did she hand over the secret recipe to others?
However, Zhu Hao gave Zhu Niang a comforting smile, turned to Su Xigui, and said with a firm gaze, "Ten thousand taels, plus the profits that Su Dongzhu will make in the sale of refined salt in the future, we will share [-]% of it."

"what!?"

Su Xigui got up immediately, and looked at Zhu Hao coldly, "It's really a lion, ten thousand taels...why don't you grab it?"

Even Zhu Niang was shocked, what happened to her son today?
It was agreed that it was just to explain the reason why the salt cannot be provided, and to discuss the follow-up of drying the salt in the coming year. Why did my son talk about selling the secret recipe when he came up?
Zhu Hao said: "Su Dongzhu, you are a shrewd person. Don't you know how big the interests are behind this business? You should investigate that the salt in our family is not sifted with the salt you provided, but If you made it yourself, you don’t want to know how we orphans and widows can produce so many high-quality snowflake salts?”

Zhu Niang hurriedly got up and pulled her son: "Master Su, please forgive me, we won't talk about business matters today."

"Don't, don't!"

Who is Su Xigui?

Ten thousand taels...

To Zhu Niang, it was an astronomical figure. She had made a lot of money in the past six months of doing business, but after excluding the part that went to the Zhu family, the income was only three or four hundred taels. Afterwards, it was very difficult for Anlu to develop salt. In addition, the amount of bittern that naturally seeped out of the ground in the surrounding areas was less and less harvested. The resources were insufficient, and the output was greatly limited.

But for Su Xigui... the price is fair.

It's just that he doesn't want to give [-]% of the profit to Zhu Niang and his son. If the business is negotiated and the annual income is tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of taels, won't it be a big loss to give Zhu Niang [-]% of the profit?
Zhu Hao said: "Mother, after all, we are not a wealthy family. We really don't have the ability to do long-term business with this prescription. Selling it to others is worse than selling it to Su Dongzhu... This is not what we thought about when we first cooperated with Su Dongzhu. one day?"

Zhu Niang would never sell sun-dried salt recipes, but after hearing what Zhu Hao said, she felt that it made sense.

I made a lot of money in the past six months, but I spent it in fear from the beginning to the end. My son is now studying in the palace and has a promising future.

Earn ten thousand taels of silver steadily, isn't it delicious?
Su Xigui smiled and said: "Young Master Zhu still has brains. It's good to keep this business in your own hands, but no matter how secret the recipe is, it will be known to outsiders one day, and it will be worthless at that time. It's better to take advantage of no one's knowledge. Make a lot of money, this is the way to make money!"
