Ming Dynasty, starting from the empty seal case

Chapter 149 Dear grandson, grandpa will teach you how to make money
The next day, in the main hall.

As soon as Su Xian arrived, he saw the two brothers Chang Sen and Chang Sheng walking very close to the eighth prince Zhu Zi. At first, he didn't pay much attention to it, but when he left the main hall and went to the Gewuyuan, he also found that they " Like glue and paint."

Under Su Xian's repeated attention, Chang Sen seemed to have discovered something. After laughing awkwardly for a few times, he returned to his previous appearance.

"Chang Sen, how many people are there in your shop now?"

The hottest month has passed, and Chang Sen has stocked up on a lot of raw materials in order to speed up the production process.

He didn't have much capital, and in addition, he didn't turn the goods into money quickly at the first time. Instead, he first raised the price and then lowered the price. As a result, the customer traffic was also snatched away by other companies.

And in order to speed up the process.

Su Xian specifically asked Zhu Xiongying to increase the profit commission from the initial "30%" to 35%, and now it has reached 40%...

The main theme is "the government imposes tyrannical levies and exterminates, and demands excessively!"

The result is……

He thought that Chang Sen might use some means, but he didn't want to start from the most fundamental place.

Zhu Xiongying frowned and looked at the one, two, three in front of him... there were six large boxes, inside which Zhu Yuanzhang felt a little greedy when he saw it, there were even Hongwu Tongbao, silver, and gold!
Although it was a little missing, he couldn't help but feel envious when he thought of his grandson holding a gold nugget in his hand.

"Since it's the Eighth Prince's order, just follow it." Su Xian smiled, and suddenly he had a plan: "Gewuyuan can't always rely on others. From now on, we will also slowly purchase some of our own properties. "

Just like now...

"Hmph... Just wait. This is called showing weakness to the enemy."

“Let it go when it’s time to let it go, and don’t think about resting on your laurels.”

However, not long after, Lu Shan came here in a hurry.

Su Xian smiled inwardly, then said with a serious face: "How can this be said to be serious? In order to expand the Gewuyuan, we need to buy materials and shops, and plan a larger construction site. Otherwise, if we are so big, what will happen in the future? expand?"

"I think that in the future, we will have to build a special collection of objects on a mountain, which can be regarded as increasing tax revenue for the court. Don't worry, the more you open your mouth like a lion, the more our Majesty will grin with grinning teeth."

After laughing to himself, this method was faster than he expected.

Su Xian felt a little weird when he heard the word "subordinate", but thought that this would become normal in the future.

Lu Shan was stunned and didn't seem to react.

It seemed that he was undecided and came to Su Xian to ask.

Lu Shan hesitated: "But if we continue to spend like this, we have no money..."

"Buy some shops and make a printing shop."

Now that Gewuyuan has been built, even if those children are young, it is their ability to make money! Moreover, this is all the hard work of his grandson in the past month. He can see that his grandson is also under pressure.

As the current craftsman supervisor, the biggest change of the latter is that his temperament has changed a lot. He is no longer as poor as when he first came here. He is wearing the best Sichuan brocade material, and his whole person seems to be richer. He looks quite good. Like a member of the Communist Party of China.

Obviously everyone is making money, but some people have more and more points, while some people have fewer points.

Su Xian emphasized the last four words, and Lu Shan nodded immediately.

Chang Sen hummed a few words in a low voice, then ignored it. After looking at each other with Zhu Zi, he pretended to be fine and left.

However, Zhu Yuanzhang had no intention of swallowing it.

"Dean." Lu Shan said with a strange expression, "Chang Sen came just now and suddenly brought an order from the Eighth Prince, saying that he would let the craftsmen produce his MSG first and leave the others alone. This..."

……

Su Xian smiled, as if he had a premonition of what was going to happen, but he didn't care and had been in charge of the latest "Gewu Daily" in Gewuyuan.

Very good.

'These all require money! "

"What's wrong with the imperial relatives?" Su Xian said: "There are many people in the capital who are not afraid of the imperial relatives. What's more, do you really think that Gewuyuan can keep hold of these?"

Lu Shan finally understood what Su Xian meant. He just smiled when he heard the words, then he understood and said with a smile, "How about I say it more seriously?"

"What's wrong? You've made so much money and you still have a sad face?" Zhu Yuanzhang arrived.

"But, we are royal relatives..."

Lu Shan was already frightened. He subconsciously thought that the other party was joking, but Su Xian was serious.

"Grandpa Huang..." Seeing Zhu Yuanzhang, Zhu Xiongying said quickly: "But these will no longer be mine."

So he said: "Let's do it as soon as possible. In addition, no matter what Chang Sen and the others do, as long as the scope is limited to the capital, there is no need to worry about it."

Zhu Xiongying's hand cramped when counting money, but he actually made money. It was supposed to be a hugely profitable business, but the few of them were fighting to the death among themselves.

Night, Kunning Palace.

Su Xian was startled.

"Well, you can also open a spice store. MSG is a single product after all. I guess other merchants in the capital can't hold it back anymore and will sell it soon."

He couldn't help but feel a sense of enthusiasm in his heart, "Yes! My subordinates know."

Uh……

After the last sentence.

"So?" Su Xian raised his head, thinking to add to his anger, "My purpose is to ask you to find money? Our headmaster's hands have been cramped recently when counting money. Please help him calm down..."

Zhu Yuanzhang was surprised for a while, "Who dares to steal money from our grandson?"

"It's not about grabbing money, it's about the report from the craftsmen of Gewuyuan today. The number of craftsmen currently recruited by Gewuyuan is still too few, and more people and a bigger place are needed."

"In addition, we are currently only cooperating with stores in the capital, but this is not enough. They said that we must have our own stores and develop new... new research goals, and we cannot rest on our laurels... "

Zhu Yuanzhang listened to his grandson's stumbling words and automatically made up for it in his heart.

After reacting, he immediately became overjoyed.

"This is a good thing!" Zhu Yuanzhang said bluntly: "Gewuyuan is getting bigger and bigger, and our grandson will be able to make more money in the future."

"Needless to say, they are here to find our eldest grandson to approve the money."

"Yes." Zhu Xiongying nodded.

"Ahem!" Zhu Yuanzhang coughed a few times, as if he was hiding something, "Well, of course you have to agree. According to Su Xian, it is an investment. Only investment can make the influence of Gewuyuan greater. "

Zhu Xiongying nodded understandingly, but he was a little entangled and said: "But I can't bear to part with the money."

Hearing these words, Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly became wary for some reason.

If his grandson hangs out with those people, will he really become a miser in the end?
If our monarchs after the Ming Dynasty become like this, they will not be useless.

He became more and more alert, and after making eye contact with Queen Ma, he asked cautiously but with a chilly voice:
"Why does a little kid need so much money? You don't have to worry about food or drink in the palace."

Zhu Xiongying raised his head, just looked at Zhu Yuanzhang, and said in a weak voice:
"I want to help Grandpa Huang!"

Just this sentence.

Zhu Yuanzhang froze on the spot, feeling as if something was blocked in his throat, and even his eyes became a little warm.

Queen Ma on the side also stood in astonishment.

But Zhu Xiongying was still minding his own business and said, "During this period, Grandpa Huang rarely comes back. When I was in the East Palace, I also saw that my father was very worried about money."

"Dad said that Beiyuan violated the border again, and the North-South Canal still needs to be repaired... These all require money. Although Su Xian's father issued new banknotes, he still refused to print more... I just thought, I will save money, Give it all to Grandpa Huang..."

"Ouch..." Zhu Yuanzhang felt that he couldn't listen anymore and quickly picked up his grandson.

The voices softened.

"This... we don't want the Yin Gang, and grandpa doesn't want the Xiongying Gang. Xiongying is still young, let's just have fun."

"Just promise them that you will do your best in Gewüyuan. Don't worry, we have money. Who is your grandfather? The tallest person in the entire Ming Dynasty. Today our bank has issued new banknotes. Grandpa is only worried because of other things, such as It’s summer harvest soon.”

Regardless of whether his grandson could understand it or not, Zhu Xiongying said these words with emotion.

I just feel that I have worked hard all my life, and it is worth it to have such a considerate grandson when I am old, even if I have to work hard for another half of my life, it will be worth it to lay a solid foundation for them!

Try not to worry about Bei Yuan's invasion, don't worry about the lack of food and grass supply, let alone any internal governance issues... He can just finish everything by himself, and his grandson can be as carefree as now. While thinking about it.

Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly changed his expression and said, "Actually, if our grandson wants to make more money, there is another way."

Zhu Xiongying quickly opened his eyes: "What can I do?"

Zhu Yuanzhang said: "Didn't Su Xian say it before? At the beginning, you decided to charge 30% profit, but you can change it later according to changes in things. Now you have made a lot, and you have all received 40% profit, right?"

Zhu Yuanzhang stretched out four fingers, and then raised one finger.

Seeing his grandson nodding in confusion, he said bewilderedly:

“Then we’ll charge another 10% and receive 50% profit!”

Zhu Xiongying was immediately filled with joy, "Yes, you can change!"

"But Grandpa Huang, if Chang Sen and the others don't agree."

"How could they not agree? They make so much money just for the development of Gewuyuan, so they can't understand the difficulties of Gewuyuan."

"You tell the people below and they will understand."

Zhu Xiongying nodded. He also felt that this was the truth, and immediately said seriously: "Okay! Listen to Grandpa Huang."

"My dear grandson is so good."

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at the money in the box and thought that they really needed to earn more.

But what kind of property does the royal family have? To find a place for the future expansion of Gewuyuan, this money is not enough.

Ok……

While thinking about it, he grinned and looked at his grandson who seemed to be uneasy.

"Don't worry, dear grandson. If you increase the share, it will also put pressure on them! Don't worry, they may make more and more!"

"Yeah!" Zhu Xiongying became more determined.

Zhu Yuanzhang smiled and played with his grandson for a while, then suddenly remembered something and frowned.

Saying.

The new banknotes have been issued. The "printing plate" sent out by Su Xian on his own initiative should be frowned upon recently, right?

You have to be more cautious.

……

And just when Miyagi and his grandson were planning the division of the Gokumonin.

late at night.

In a deep house somewhere in the capital.

In the small room, six lights were placed in succession, illuminating it brightly.

And among them.

Several figures sat together, carefully observing a piece of... treasure money on the table!
consistent!
And right next to him, there was a man with rough palms but very nimble fingers. He was holding a copper printing plate and randomly brushed some tung ink that he didn't know how to make.

Print it on white paper.

"Look carefully, is it the same..."

The pairs of eyes suddenly grew bigger. Although the colors were different, they stared at them more carefully than anyone else, comparing everything carefully.

The atmosphere became quiet, and you could almost hear the pounding heartbeats of several people.

"Same! Really the same!"

"Except for the lack of numbers, our printing plate is perfect!"

As the voices sounded one after another, everyone present seemed to be breathing much faster!
"Good! Good!"

Finally, an old man sitting at the top nodded. He was wearing commoner clothes and had ridges on his face. He looked like a poor old farmer.

But when he spoke, several people present were speechless and did not dare to breathe.

Among them, there is even a strong body, the temples seem to be slightly bulging, the eyes are sharp, and the fists are always in an empty grip, and calluses are vaguely visible. If the fists are clenched, I am afraid that they can really hit someone to death with one punch.

"Yan Laosan, you did a good job."

The old man looked across at the bald old man who had been standing on the ground, bowing his head, and suddenly smiled.

The latter grinned quickly and said, "This is what we should do. This year, the capital has been checking for counterfeit banknotes like crazy. But although you said you weren't afraid before, the appearance of new banknotes has finally become troublesome."

"In addition, the people in the future may gradually stop using old banknotes... We can't just let the people in the court make money, we have to make some money."

"Yeah!" The old man nodded, "You are smart. We are all human beings. If they can do business, why can't we do it?"

"With this printing plate in hand, you should figure out how to match the color as soon as possible. We will also find someone to bring you some internal news from the Chaojing Academy, but even if it is done, it cannot be used yet."

The panic flashed in the bald old man's eyes, but he still maintained his original urgency, "Why?"

"It's better to be careful. Besides..."

Swish!
The old man's eyes suddenly sharpened.

Beside him, the man in fine clothes just stretched out his hand and pinched the bald old man like a little chicken.

"Since Su Guiyuan sent the printing plate, why has there been no news from Chaojingyuan until now?"

"He deliberately printed plates for others. This is a crime of beheading!"

"Tell me clearly what happened that night!"

As soon as these words came out, the bald old man's eyes were confused, and he felt as if the iron-like hand on his neck was really going to crush him.

"Mr. Yang, Mr. Yang! Su Guiyuan is the envoy of Chaojing Academy! He holds the power himself, and the printing plate is also in his hands. If he doesn't speak, who dares to talk about this matter?"

"And this printing plate is real. Didn't you also see it? It's real."

The old man's eyes were full of doubt, "You can easily catch Su Xian, and then easily bring the printing plate back?"

"Mr. Yang!" When asked in this way, Yan Xin, a bald old man, immediately had a sharp look in his eyes and said angrily: "Aren't you doubting us by asking this?"

"Doubting my two dead brothers? Also, how brave can I, Yan Xin, be to make them produce the real printing plate? If you are so suspicious, you might as well kill me!"

"Humph!"

The old man gave a signal with his eyes, and the man next to him immediately put down Yan Xin.

"I will definitely kill you, but I still want to try Su Guiyuan's side..."

With this thought in mind, the old man sat cross-legged, stroking the table with his right hand.

"There was news circulating in Chaojing Court some time ago that Jin Jinglun, the Finance Secretary, saw Su Guiyuan hurried in and out that night, but no one took it seriously..."

No one present was surprised. Why did this old man know about Chao Jingyuan?

The latter is inherently powerful.

The old man pondered for a long time, and suddenly said sadly: "Hu Weiyong, if I let Hu Weiyong discover it accidentally..."

As soon as these words came out, Yan Xin's expression changed.

"Tell me, can I change the political situation of this government with just a wave of my hand?"

As he spoke, he looked at Yan Xin.

"If it really changes color, then it means that what you said is true. Su Guiyuan deliberately took the printing plate, and putting it anywhere will be a capital crime!"

"Hmph, if he dies! I will accept it as true."

"If it doesn't change...you die!"
