Ming Dynasty, starting from the empty seal case

Chapter 146: Here you go again to fool our eldest grandson
"Envoy, are you here?"

In Chaojingyuan, Su Guiyuan came here as before, maintaining the same smile as before.

After greeting everyone, he randomly found someone and asked: "Who was on duty here last night..."

"Oh, it's Ambassador Jin Jinglun of the Qian Yun Department."

After the restructuring of Chaojingyuan, each of the four departments was set up with seven-level promotions. Some were transferred from the Ministry of Works, and some were transferred from the Ministry of Personnel.

The rest of the ambassadors and deputy envoys, some of them in other yamen do not even have official positions, but in Chaojingyuan they are counted according to the eighth rank.

"Jin Jinglun?"

Su Guiyuan thought about the way he was asked by the other party after he arrived at Chaojingyuan last night. Did the latter see clearly what he took?
"What about others?"

"I went back early after the night watch." The person Su Guiyuan asked was an old member of the Baochao Examination Department. The Baochao Examination Department had gone through many purges, and those who can remain now are considered Su Guiyuan's. Direct lineage.

"By the way, the envoy." The other party seemed to have thought of something and said softly, "Did you come to Chao Jingyuan last night?"

Song Shen was indeed flattered, "Prime Minister, I have never blamed the Prime Minister for his humble position. When my grandfather left, he said he had great wishes!"

Since Hu Weiyong took charge of the Zhongshu Province, he began to screen various memorials and suppressed those that were detrimental to him, never letting His Majesty know about them.

Simply speaking, these are only for some generals, but for civil servants, they are much more secretive.

Hu Weiyong seemed to be worried.

"You went to see your grandfather off yesterday. Did you see the emperor's eldest grandson and the Xu and Chang family's sons followed him to the Gewuyuan?"

Su Guiyuan's heart sank, but he replied on the surface: "I just remembered something, so I came to take a look."

Zhongshu Province.

But this method cannot be exposed, so he took a preemptive strike and figured out the direction of the trend in other yamen first.

Hearing this, Su Guiyuan was stunned, "How do you know?"

"Mr. Su, please take care of yourself. The fine work has been done. Now it's time for the Money Transportation Department to transport it to various banks and wait for issuance."

Song Shen knocked on the door a few times before quickly entering, "Prime Minister, this is today's news."

There are even moves to give servants to ministers.

He leaned back on the chair, closed his eyes, crossed his hands, and rubbed his fingers intentionally or unintentionally.

After the latter left, Su Guiyuan returned to his office.

Hu Weiyong said it seemingly unintentionally, and the latter was really taken aback.

It doesn't matter if others know he came last night.

But the missing new banknote printing plate must be resolved.

"Why is he in such a hurry? Could it be that something happened to Chao Jingyuan?"

After being the prime minister for many years, Hu Weiyong was extremely sensitive to some things.

Song Shen also hurriedly said: "My grandfather said before that studying things was a miraculous skill, but after Yan introduced the theory, he changed his mind..."

"Yesterday, his son went to say goodbye to his mentor in a pretentious manner, and then went back to Gewüyuan to have fun with a bunch of dandies."

Of course, the things he did were not as good as His Majesty's pro-military Captain's Mansion.

Hu Weiyong did not speak as expected, but just looked at the message in his hand. Suddenly, his expression changed and he said: "Su Guiyuan rushed to Chaojingyuan and left in a hurry last night before the curfew?"

Hu Weiyong, who had just left the court, nodded slightly to express his knowledge, and then he remembered something: "Your grandfather is old and should have enjoyed happiness in the capital. Unfortunately, he repeatedly mentioned the imperial examination, which made His Majesty unhappy. This time Leaving is not the true intention.”

The other party is a powerful official of the third rank or above in the imperial court, and he keeps an eye on them.

Having said this, he quickly shut up, obviously thinking of the things about salt introduction that Prime Minister Hu was most resentful about recently.

"By the way, Gewuyuan should publish the second issue of Gewu Daily in the near future, right?"

He seemed to be explaining to this seventh-grade Zhongshu Sheren.

As long as you stay at home and don't go to private gatherings with some officials, you won't attract their attention.

……

This information comes from the eyes of Zhongshu Sheng scattered in all directions, collecting all the big and small affairs of each yamen.

"Yes!"

Song Shen nodded.

Just as he was thinking about it, Su Guiyuan suddenly opened his eyes, stood up, and strode outside.

"What a great wish. I just had an argument with Gewu and lost."

"That's what Ambassador Jin said. When we came here early in the morning, he also said that Ambassador Su really cares about the treasure. It's just that he has been so busy recently. It's not easy to go back, but the results will come."

And he also took this opportunity to look at the recent news in the capital.

Su Guiyuan nodded, and then said casually: "This matter is of great importance. I don't want any details to be missed. Okay, you can step back."

otherwise……

"This is how my childhood playmates were, but His Majesty loves his eldest grandson too much, so much so that his eldest grandson is also obsessed with studying things. If this continues, the country will... alas!"

There is no doubt that Chao Jingyuan is the point of his greatest concern.

The "hurriedness" of this information and "coming and leaving before curfew" made him extremely curious, and he vaguely felt that there seemed to be something going on...

But since there is no information on it, it means nothing.

But nothing happened, so why was he so anxious?
The truth is that I like to delve into other people’s private affairs! Unfortunately, it happened to be under curfew, so no one should have seen it at that time.

With this in mind, Hu Weiyong was about to put the file down.

Suddenly he picked it up again.

"Go and find out who talked about this news."

Song Shen was stunned and nodded quickly.

Not long after he left, Li You hurried back.

"Prime Minister, it's done."

When Hu Weiyong saw that it was Li You, he pondered for a moment and then said: "Over there in Jiangxi, please move your hands and feet faster, otherwise, the world will think that I have become a soft persimmon that can be easily pinched!"

"Yes!"

Li You left, and half an hour passed before Song Shen returned in a hurry.

"Prime Minister, we've found out."

"Who?"

"Secretary of Qian Yun, Jin Jinglun!"

"Let him come! I'll ask him personally."

"Not here. I knew the Prime Minister wanted to ask, so I went to invite him just now, but I couldn't find him."

"Huh?" Hu Weiyong frowned.

Then he stood up slowly and said, "Something's wrong. Let's see when he comes back and bring him here."

"In addition, in the past few days, let the eyes below report all the affairs of Chaojingyuan, no matter how big or small!"

"Yes!"

……

As soon as he entered the main hall, Su Xian began to make plans in his mind.

Zhu Xiongying, Chang Sen and the others didn't know that what happened to Su Xian last night was just like usual.

I finally waited until Mr. Zhao Jing finished telling an allusion.

Su Xian finally opened her eyes, looked at the children, and said seductively:

"Let's play another game today."

"Are there new games to play?"

Everyone was bored at first, and class was the most boring thing. Those games a while ago were boring to play. Even the first and left classes assigned by Su Xian, after the emperor's mood gradually improved, they also Slacked off.

When I heard about it, I immediately became interested.

"This is not the Gewu Daily of Gewuyuan, and MSG has begun to make money." Su Xian said: "So this time, we will familiarize ourselves with the procedures in the palace before going to Gewuyuan."

"Of course, this has to be combined with the previously agreed upon heads, left and right classes, chiefs, and corps commanders..." Hearing that he could still contact Chang Sheng, who was a former official and had become a "little corps commander", He immediately asked: "What, Su Xian, can I control them?"

The Eighth Prince Zhu Zi also said: "I, Zuoban, have never shown my power yet."

Zhu Xiongying also wanted to say that as a first-year student, he had never experienced anything.

Su Xian quickly said, "Let me explain the rules first."

"It's still the same rules we played before. Once you start, you can't stop."

"This game is called simulated revenue..."

"Ah?" Chang Sen shook his head, indicating that he didn't understand.

"Actually, I just want everyone to do a favor."

Su Xian said sternly: "Nowadays, the monosodium glutamate of Gewuyuan is cooperating with the major shopkeepers in the capital. Do you all know that?"

Zhu Xiongying and others nodded one after another. Don't look at the past month, MSG has spread quietly in the capital through the "salt introduction" incident.

In the first three days, word-of-mouth has exploded, and people lining up to buy from the east of the city to the west of the city.

Su Xian also took the opportunity to expand the scale, and has exclusive cooperative stores in almost every direction in the capital.

The same is true for Gewu Daily, which has also cooperated with several printing houses.

There is no need for the craftsmen of Gokuyuan to work so hard. To a certain extent, now is the best time, because they can have their hands free to study new things.

"That's what I think. Everyone must participate in the management of this Gewuyuan."

"So, instead of playing with everything in the palace, it's better to play it real. Everyone is responsible for the revenue of an area. For example, Chang Sen is responsible for a store in Jiangpu County, and Fu Zhong is responsible for the store in Lishui County."

There are only three or four stores selling MSG in each county, so Su Xian's distribution is very reasonable.

"Whoever sells more will get extra points."

"Of course, the current corps commander and chief are still in charge of you."

"Note that you can annex the store, or you can use your own points to exchange the store back... Well, everyone's initial point is five thousand Guan Three Kingdoms banknotes! One thousand Guan represents one point."

At this moment.

When Su Xian talked about this, brothers Chang Sen and Chang Sheng had already widened their eyes, and even Xu Yingxu and the others had expressions of disbelief.

In turn, it was the ultimate excitement.

Because this is for real!

"Su Xian, are you afraid that we will go bankrupt while you play?" Chang Sen asked quickly.

"Don't be afraid, the headmaster will support you from the front."

Zhu Xiongying immediately raised his head and said excitedly: "I'm not afraid either."

"it is good!"

Seeing this, Su Xian continued to smile and said: "But we have agreed that each of us is responsible for a lot of things. We need to provide these craftsmen and shops with raw materials, transportation, wages, which is salary. As for the money earned, withdraw A certain proportion must be handed over.”

"The rest is yours to earn as much as you can."

After Su Xian finished speaking.

Chang Sen was impatient and his eyes lit up, "Ours? This is real money, our private money!"

Even Fu Zhong, Mu Sheng and others who had been silent were full of surprises and wanted to go immediately.

"Don't worry!"

Su Xian suppressed their excitement.

Then he continued:

"The left class and the right class are responsible for supervision. In the end, all matters are handed over to the head of the hospital for decision, and then..."

"Stop it, we can't wait any longer." Chang Sen shouted: "We understand what you mean, we can compete with each other and annex stores, and then the team leader is in charge of us, right?"

"As long as we divide enough, after discussion between the left class and the right class, and the head of the hospital's decision, we can also become corps commanders and then manage them, right?"

Su Xian suddenly laughed like a fox. "Chang Sen, when it comes to playing, you are smarter than anyone else."

"Of course!"

"But as promised, I repeat, you are also responsible and need to be responsible for collecting raw materials..."

Chang Sen jumped up so anxiously, "Why are you so long-winded? Let's go! I'll go back later and we'll all go to my house for dinner. We'll leave as soon as we finish."

"It's a pity that the palace is afraid that we will be poor. Otherwise, we will eat now and take office immediately, haha... We will become a well-known wealthy family in the capital."

Seeing the excitement of these people, Su Xian couldn't help but smile again.

Look, compared with Zhu Yuanzhang, these talents are innocent.

Just as he was thinking about it, Zhu Xiongying had already stood up first.

"Who said there can't be food in the palace? I'm going to find grandma right now and ask her to tell the people in charge of food supervision. You wait, we'll leave as soon as we finish eating!"

Zhu Xiongying said, running towards Kunning Palace...

"It's clear that the hero wants to leave the palace." Chang Sen revealed his purpose, "But unfortunately, the empress will not agree, and neither will the eldest sister."

Several people nodded silently.

really.

The meal was eaten in the palace, but Zhu Xiongying, as the head of the school, still stayed in the palace, pouting and watching Su Xian and others leave the palace with aggrieved expression.

"Don't be impatient, Chief, we will report to you as soon as we have results." Chang Sen shouted.

Zhu Xiongying said anxiously: "I'm not in a hurry. Grandma won't agree. I'll ask Grandpa Huang. Grandpa Huang only has his word."

……

Gewuyuan.

"You choose your own store first."

Su Xian brought Chang Sen and others to Lu Shan, the head craftsman. After briefly explaining his purpose, Lu Shan looked strange.

But he understood that the Gewuyuan itself was a "plaything" specially approved by the Holy Emperor for the emperor's eldest grandson and the students of the main hall. Although it was controlled by Su Xian, in the final analysis, it could not be separated from the "plaything".

Therefore, since Su Xian said so, they followed suit.

"If we make a shopkeeper's wooden sign for each of them, we will be considered rich MSG households."

"In addition, from now on, the revenue of each store will be transferred to them. You have the right to make suggestions, but they will be responsible for the decision-making."

"Including buying raw materials, transporting, expanding production, and paying wages... they are all responsible."

Su Xian knew.

If it really depends on making money, with MSG here, each store will not lose much in a short period of time.

Therefore, in order for them to fall in love and kill each other, he also has the most important restriction.

"Let's make a decision that half of the profits will be handed over to the headmaster. Remember, we earn points!"

“The money is just to keep the game running!”

"The portion you each hold is the most important!"

As soon as these words came out.

In an instant, several eyes converged and exchanged, each seemed to be ready for battle and highly competitive.

Su Xian looked at this scene and knew that the main hall was almost ready.

Su Xian laughed when he thought of certain scenes.

We, the emperor's grandson, must first experience in advance his grandpa's self-righteous "people's compensation and people's solution" that saves money for the country.

As the principal, Zhu Xiongying is not responsible for purchasing raw materials, communicating with other stores, or delivering MSG.

Even the workers' "salary" is not paid.

It's just like lying down to collect money and sitting in the palace having fun.

Save money and make money at the same time.

Just like...Zhu Yuanzhang!
