Daming: Apocalypse of Longevity

Chapter 34 Going south to sell mirror boxes? (Seek to follow up)

Early the next morning, Sun Yuanhua came to the palace early and waited outside the Qianqing Gate. He was also quite anxious about going to Haojing'ao.

Wang Yuanbao went in to report, and Zhu Tianqi naturally asked him to invite Sun Yuanhua into the palace immediately.

When Sun Yuanhua came in, he saw Zhu Tianqi having breakfast. He quickly knelt down and kowtowed, "I, Sun Yuanhua, kowtow to the emperor. I didn't know that the emperor was having dinner. It is really rude to the emperor. I'd better go and wait outside the palace first!"

Zhu Tianqi waved his hand and motioned for him to get up first, "It's okay, it's okay. I got up a little late today. Normally, I should have had breakfast at this time. You sit down first and wait for me!"

Wang Yuanbao heard this and quickly motioned to the little eunuch on the side to bring over a chair. Although Sun Yuanhua felt that this was a bit rude, it was the emperor's order after all, so he had no choice but to salute: "Your Majesty, thank you for giving me a seat!" and sat on the chair. down.

While eating breakfast, Zhu Tianqi asked Wang Yuanbao, "When will the father-in-law come over?"

Wang Yuanbao couldn't help but get excited after hearing this, and asked in a low voice with fear on his face: "Your Majesty, you didn't ask me to invite the king to come over? Could it be that my servant is deaf and didn't hear your instructions?"

Zhu Tianqi did not blame Wang Yuanbao, but said casually: "Perhaps I forgot to say it. You should send someone to ask the abbot of the country now, and ask him to come to the Qing Palace as soon as possible!"

"My slave obeys the order, I will send someone to invite the king's father to enter the palace!" Wang Yuanbao secretly breathed a sigh of relief, hurriedly saluted and accepted the order, and ordered his men to go on errands!
Zhu Tianqi quickly finished his breakfast, washed his hands under the service of the palace maid, stood up while wiping his mouth, and called Sun Yuanhua: "Sun Aiqing, let's come here to talk." Then the two of them moved to the Over there at the desk.

Zhu Tianqi asked Sun Yuanhua to sit down, and then told Wang Yuanbao: "Go and bring over the crystal mirror box that was packed yesterday!"

Wang Yuanbao nodded and saluted, and then waved to his young eunuchs. Several young eunuchs went to the wall of Qianqing Palace to move the big box over and opened the lid.

Zhu Tianqi pointed at a large box of mirror boxes that he slowly opened, and said to Sun Yuanhua: "Sun Aiqing, what is in this box are the same crystal mirror boxes that I showed you yesterday. There are three thousand in total. According to what you bought yesterday, According to the estimate, this mirror box is worth at least 5 to [-] taels of silver!"

Sun Yuanhua glanced at the large mirror box, then saluted and replied: "Go back to the emperor, I have 5 to [-] taels of silver!"

Zhu Tianqi nodded and continued: "When you go to Haojing'ao this time, take this box of mirror boxes with you. When you get to the Jiangsu and Zhejiang areas, or Fuguang area, sell these mirror boxes for money and use them as yours." The funds for purchasing artillery and recruiting Thai and Western craftsmen were spent in Haojingao.

Of course, I know that according to the purchase plan I made with you before, these tens of thousands of taels of silver will definitely not be enough, but you can use it as a deposit first, and then negotiate the price with the Thai and Western merchants in Haojingao. How much money is left, you can send it to me, and I will send someone to send the money to you! "

After hearing this, Sun Yuanhua, although he still had doubts in his heart, had no choice but to stand up and salute: "The emperor is strategizing, and I must obey your orders!"

In fact, Sun Yuanhua was very surprised after hearing Zhu Tianqi's arrangement. The emperor's arrangement was naturally more appropriate, because according to the results of yesterday's discussion, hundreds of Hongyi cannons were to be purchased and a large number of skilled craftsmen from Taixi were to be recruited. A trip would cost several hundred thousand taels of silver at least. It was impossible for the emperor to give himself so much silver in one go, and it was indeed inconvenient for him to carry so much money out.Sun Yuanhua had thought of all this in advance. He also thought that the emperor might give him tens of thousands of taels of silver as funding and deposit. However, he never expected that the emperor would not give him cash, but instead give him a large box of crystal mirror boxes. , let yourself go to sell, not to mention that you have never done any business, even if you can make this business, how much time will it take to sell so many mirror boxes?
Looking at Sun Yuanhua's expression, Zhu Tianqi knew that his arrangement had put him in a difficult position. After all, most of the officials these days did not know how to do business. In feudal society, scholars, farmers, industry and commerce were ranked last, and businessmen were ranked last. Looked down upon by scholars.

He could only smile and say: "Sun Aiqing, you don't have to worry. I don't mean to make things difficult for you. You are not the only one going on this trip. There is also Taikang Bo Zhang Guoji, my father-in-law. I sent him to Fuguang, Jiangsu and Zhejiang to wait. In a prosperous land, they sell the miscarriages stolen from the families of eunuchs.

You can travel together in the early stage. After arriving at the place, just find a few big local merchants and wholesale the things directly to them. Don't worry too much about the price. As long as it is similar to the average market price, we will make the move. After all, we are not Those who do business should quickly exchange the things in their hands for money. "

After hearing this, Sun Yuanhua couldn't help but secretly breathed a sigh of relief, saluted and said: "This way, I no longer have any doubts in my heart, and I will definitely complete the errands arranged by the emperor!"

Just as he was talking, he saw Zhang Guoji sweating profusely and hurriedly walked into the Palace of Qianqing. He knelt down and saluted and said, "Your Majesty, Zhang Guoji, is here to attend. I wonder what your Majesty's instructions are for summoning my ministers to the palace to meet the emperor." ?”

"Look, the abbot is here. It's really about Cao Cao. Cao Cao is here!" Zhu Tianqi pointed at Zhang Guoji and said with a smile to Sun Yuanhua. Then he motioned to Zhang Guoji: "Get the abbot quickly. Look at your hair. Dahan, please sit down and take a rest. Speaking of which, this is my fault. I forgot to ask the slaves yesterday to tell you that you are going to the palace to discuss matters today, so I called you early in the morning!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Zhang Guoji stood up, wiped the sweat from his head, and sat on the chair brought by the eunuch. He glanced at Sun Yuanhua who was standing aside. He still had some doubts in his heart. He didn't know what was being discussed today. .

Zhu Tianqi first introduced Sun Yuanhua to Zhang Guoji, "This is the newly appointed Minister of Industry, Sun Yuanhua!"

Only then did Zhang Guoji dare to turn his head and look at Sun Yuanhua, raised his hand and saluted: "Shilang Sun!"

Sun Yuanhua also hurriedly returned the gift: "I have met Mr. Zhang!"

After they had met each other, Zhu Tianqi spoke, mainly to explain the arrangement to Zhang Guoji: "Zhang Guoji, I summoned you this time to talk about what happened last time. You are going south this time. I have arranged for you and Sun Aiqing to go together so that you can have someone to discuss things with each other.

When you get to the place, you can find a way together first, sell the things in your hands, and then go about your own errands after you get the money. "

After hearing this, Zhang Guoji couldn't help but nodded and said, "That's very good. Your Majesty, you are so considerate!" After saying this, he bowed his hand to Sun Yuanhua and said, "Master Sun, please invite me next." Take good care of me!”

Sun Yuanhua also hurriedly raised his hand to salute, and said with a smile: "It's Chuyang (character) who needs to rely more on Mr. Zhang!"
