Daming: I, the emperor who trains the carpenter

Chapter 33 The Magical Toad!
The method has been proposed, as for how to implement the rest.

Then it depends on what Eunuch Wei's plan is.

Although our Eunuch Wei has a low level of education, his level of political struggle is roughly equivalent to that of street hooligans.

However, our Eunuch Wei is making progress.

The identity and status are different, and the level of political struggle is gradually improving.

Zhang Haogu's simple suggestion immediately made Wei Zhongxian feel like a treasure.

The gang of the Donglin Party are rushing to the street, how dare they plot against me?

If he didn't toss them to death, his surname would not be Wei.

……

……

Zhu Youxiao put a layer of gold paint on the toad in his hand.

This toad is more than ten times bigger than the earliest toad.

The clockwork inside was also installed by Zhang Haogu.

In addition, there is a gear.

Wind up.

The golden toad started to jump up and down.

The weight becomes larger, the weight becomes larger, and the power required also increases along with it.

The toad jumped up, and then, when it fell, opened its mouth and spat out a gold coin.

This gold coin is a hollow gold coin, which can accommodate more than 20 coins.

Become!

Zhu Youxiao immediately felt a great sense of satisfaction.

Zhang Haogu also smiled.

He tapped the toad with his fingers, and then said, "You can sell it out!"

Zhu Youxiao was a little excited: "Come on, let's go to the market to sell!"

"emperor!"

Zhang Haogu shrugged his shoulders: "If you hang this directly in the market and sell it, you won't be able to sell much!"

Zhu Youxiao was stunned: "What?"

Zhang Haogu said with a smile: "Your Majesty, this thing must be rare, if it is sold in the market, it will definitely not cost much!"

Zhu Youxiao frowned, and couldn't help but said, "Then, what should I do?"

"So, learn to hype, learn to package!"

Zhang Haogu laughed and said: "Your Majesty, how about I tell you a story?"

Zhu Youxiao became interested: "Say it!"

This guy Zhang Haogu always tells himself some stories from time to time, which is very interesting, completely different from the great Confucianism in the past.

Occasionally, there will be some weird little stories.

"Once upon a time, there was a little boy who had no father and no mother. He often felt inferior to his origin. One day, he sadly asked the Confucian scholars in the village: "What's the point of living for a child like me who is not wanted by anyone?" Woolen cloth? "

The Confucian scholar smiled and said to him: "Son, don't be discouraged, who said that no one wants you?"

The little boy didn't believe it, and still felt that he was worthless.

Zhu Youxiao interrupted Zhang Haogu: "Does this have anything to do with us selling this toad?"

Zhang Haogu said: "Your Majesty, it's very impolite to interrupt others!"

Zhu Youxiao smiled awkwardly: "Go on!"

"The next day, the Confucian scholar gave the little boy an ordinary stone with his own hands and said, "Take this stone and sell it in the market, but it's not for real. Remember, don't sell it no matter how much others pay you!" "

The little boy accepted the stone with a puzzled look on his face.

He came to the market nervously, sat down in a corner and began to sell stones.What he didn't expect was that there were many people who wanted to buy his stones, and each of them paid a higher price than the other.The little boy remembered the Confucian scholar's words and was determined not to sell it.Back in the village, he excitedly reported to Confucian scholar, Confucian scholar smiled and asked him to take this stone to the gold market to sell tomorrow.

In the gold market, someone actually offered to buy that stone at a price 10 times higher than yesterday.

The little boy refused again.

In the end, the Confucian scholar asked the little boy to take the stone to the gem market to sell. As a result, the value of the stone increased by 10 times compared with yesterday's.

Because the little boy didn't sell it anyway, the stone was spread as a rare treasure, and visitors came in droves.

The little boy happily returned to the village with the stone in his hands, and he narrated everything that happened to the Confucian scholar with a smile on his face.

Why is this happening?

Zhu Youxiao was not interested at first, but now he feels that this story is very interesting.

The Confucian scholar looked at the little boy kindly, and said: "The value of life is like this stone, which has different meanings in different environments. An insignificant stone will increase its value because you don't sell it. It is said to be a rare treasure. Aren't you just like this stone? As long as you value yourself and cherish yourself, life is meaningful and valuable!"

Well, a strong taste of chicken soup.

Zhu Youxiao chewed it carefully, then nodded and said, "The master is right, the apprentice has been taught!"

"Your Majesty, I'm talking casually, don't take it seriously!" Zhang Haogu spread his hands.

Zhu Youxiao felt choked.

After drinking half of the chicken soup, Zhang Haogu told himself, this is nonsense?
So what is the point of your telling this story?
"The point is this stone!"

Zhang Haogu said: "Your Majesty, why do you think this stone can be sold at different prices in different places?"

"Why?" Zhu Youxiao asked.

"Platforms are important!"

Zhang Haogu said solemnly: "If our three-legged toad is sold from the market, how much can we sell for? At most, it is a few hundred taels of silver, and it may be several thousand taels of silver. However, if If you want to sell it for tens of thousands of taels of silver, you have to raise its value and learn how to hype it!!"

Zhu Youxiao fell into thinking, for a long time, he asked: "Then Master means, what is going on with this toad, uh, hype?!"

"It's actually quite simple!"

Zhang Haogu laughed, tapped the toad's head with his fingers, and said: "Just say that this toad was stolen from the palace, the emperor was furious and demanded a thorough investigation!"

Zhu Youxiao nodded: "I understand, if things from the palace are spread out, they must be invaluable!"

Zhang Haogu said: "That's not enough. We need to give this toad a different meaning. We need to add many legends to him. For example, this toad belonged to Shen Wansan, the richest man in Ming Dynasty!"

"kindness?"

Zhu Youxiao was taken aback for a moment: "Shen Wansan, are you rich?"

"More than 100 years have passed, even if he has no money, we can still say that he is very rich!"

Zhang Haogu spread his hands together: "It's not important, the most important thing is to make people feel that this toad is valuable. For example, the reason why Shen Wansan was so rich at the beginning of our founding of the Ming Dynasty was because Shen Wansan had a Golden toad, this golden toad can spit out gold, Shen Wansan relied on this to make a fortune, and later, this toad fell into the hands of the great grandfather!"

Zhu Youxiao couldn't help baring his teeth, he had finally discovered that Zhang Haogu didn't take the emperor seriously.

He is the one who dares to arrange the grandpa like this.

Or arrange it in front of the emperor himself.

However, the more he had this attitude, the closer Zhu Youxiao felt. He did not regard himself as an emperor, but as a friend.

"This toad is also divided into 64 points. It is divided into 64 golden toads that can spit out gold coins and move. As long as you find these toads and arrange them according to the position of the gossip, you can become the golden toad in Shen Wansan's hand!"

Zhu Youxiao couldn't help being dazed for a moment, looked at Zhang Haogu and said awkwardly: "Is this really possible?"

"Of course, this requires the cooperation of the emperor!" Zhang Haogu cracked his mouth and laughed.
