In the afternoon, Zhu Youtang, accompanied by Dai Yi, strolled around the imperial garden of the palace.
It is late autumn at this time, and the yellow leaves and withered grass have long been seen everywhere in the north, but in the Imperial Garden, green vitality can be seen everywhere.
Dai Yi also pointed around and introduced some exotic flowers and plants to Zhu Youtang with a smile.
"Don't tell me, I really feel better after I went out for a walk."
Zhu Youtang had a heartfelt satisfaction on his face.
Dai Yi thought to himself that this had nothing to do with whether he came out or not. It was mainly because Zhang Jieyuan made you feel better after he diagnosed and treated you and let you know that you were not seriously ill.
"Where is Bingkuan?"
Zhu Youtang thought of Zhang Zhou and couldn't help but ask.
Dai Yi smiled and replied, "Mr. Zhang went to accompany the prince. Didn't your majesty say that he should teach the prince some knowledge before leaving the palace?"
"Yes, look at me I have forgotten that he is very good in terms of knowledge and knowledge, but it is a pity that he is not a Jinshi."
Dai Yi felt emotional.
Fortunately, I am not a Jinshi yet.
If Zhang Zhou had passed the Jinshi examination, he would not have gone to heaven
Just as he was talking, a group of people came towards him. It was Empress Zhang who heard that her husband was in the Imperial Garden, so she specially brought him there. People come.
"Queen"
The emperor was about to tell his wife the reasons for his declining health and share his joy that his health would gradually improve in the future.
But they didn’t know that Queen Zhang came with murderous intent. When they met, she complained vehemently, “Your Majesty, it is said that the palace rebuilt Qingning Palace and found outsiders to provide wood and stone. Why is this?”
< p>"Outsiders"Zhu Youtang thought for a while and said with a wry smile, "It's not outsiders, it's Marquis Qingyun and Uncle Chang Ning. They provide materials to build Qingning Palace. There is no problem."
Empress Zhang said with a face full of embarrassment, "Why not He Ling and Yan Ling?"
Zhu Youtang's good mood was instantly put back.
"Ahem." Zhu Youtang looked embarrassed and pretended to cough twice. "Queen, I haven't recovered from my illness. Should I wait to talk about some things later?"
"No. By the time Heling and Yanling were thinking about Sheji, they had already prepared wood and stone materials and were just waiting for the start of construction. Who knew that the people from the Zhou family came out and asked what to do with the wood and stone materials in Heling and Yanling's hands? Are you going to lose money because of this?"
When Empress Zhang saw her husband alive and kicking in front of her, she naturally no longer worried about his condition.
At the moment she is only focused on fighting for the interests of her natal brothers.
Zhu Youtang is particularly embarrassed. He knows very well that his wife has no principles when it comes to the interests of the Zhang family, and he often does not care about it.
But this time it was the plan proposed by Zhang Zhou that he relied on. It had an immediate effect in saving money, so he had to think about whether to favor the Zhang brothers.
Dai Yi quickly stepped forward to share the firepower for the emperor. "Empress, this is the rule set by the Ministry of Industry. The one with the lowest price will be selected. Shouning Hou andJianchang Bo priced at 103,000 taels, while Qingyun Marquis and Changning Bocai priced at 65,000 taels."
"They are passing off inferior products as good ones," Queen Zhang said.
Zhu Youtang said, "Qingyunhou and Changningbo built a palace for the emperor's grandmother, and they are both members of the Zhou family. How could the queen be so worried?" "
"If not, why did they offer such a low price? Or did they say they intended to squeeze out His Majesty Heling and Trillium? Shouldn't you make the decision for your own family?"
" Uh"
"Empress, it's like this. At present, because of the news that the palace is going to build Qingning Palace, the prices of wood and stone on the market have increased a lot. Shouning Hou and Jianchang Bo are not You will lose money because of this. "
"Really?"
Zhu Youtang also figured out the key and said with a smile, "Exactly, both Heling and Yanling were shipped first, how could they lose money?" No joke, I have set a rule. If I change it at will, I will have no dignity left in the future. When I repair the palace next time, I will not let anyone bid, and directly let Heling and Yanling deliver the goods. What do you think?"
Empress Zhang was angry.
But what her husband and Dai Yi said made sense.
The prices of wood and stone in the market have increased, and the brothers It’s just that I won’t lose money by not supplying goods to the palace.
Besides, I have to maintain my husband’s dignity.
“Next time, I must not look for outsiders. ”
“Definitely. ”
As Zhu Youtang said, his hands had already fallen on Queen Zhang’s shoulders, and he held her in his arms as if he was very intimate. He then gave Dai Yi a wink, which meant that he didn’t need to be there. Just keep him as a light bulb and let the queen accompany him to visit the Imperial Garden.
After Dai Yi and all the subordinates retreated,
The couple then went to the depths of the Imperial Garden. Go.
Inside the Wenhua Palace.
After Zhang Zhou and Zhu Houzhao played two games of sandbox training, they went to the inner hall, and Zhu Houzhao kicked out all the eunuchs.
"I said before that I was going to open a bookstore. When will it open?"
Zhu Houzhao was serious.
Zhang Zhou smiled and said, "Is the prince in a hurry to do business?"
Zhu Houzhao was like a little adult, pacing back and forth in the inner hall with his hands behind his back. "I have asked my father to go out to play many times, but my father did not agree every time. Even if I sneak out in the future, it will not matter. Damn it, if you open a bookstore to help me make a lot of money, I won’t have to be held hostage by my father when I leave the palace, and I can do whatever I want."
Sure enough.
Like all the naughty kids in the world, they want to be financially independent but also want to escape family control.
Zhang Zhou said, "It's not difficult to open a bookstore. You can just find a printing shop and print out storybooks. It's easy." A few days of preparation. But Prince, the story I wrote has no foundation among the people. It is just published like this. No one else has even heard of it, and there is no gimmick. Will anyone buy it and read it? Don’t lose everything, and I will lose all my money. Tight. ”
“What do you mean? It’s not open to you. You are just kidding.”"He's playing in the palace."
Zhu Houzhao stared at his little eyes.
He had the urge to come up and tear Zhang Zhou apart.
Zhang Zhou was very confident. He said, "Prince, please be patient. What I mean is, if you don't have a foundation, lay the foundation first. No one else has heard of this story, so we will find people to publicize this story in teahouses, bookstores, market stalls and other places. Don't let them hear too much, just give a general outline. After it spreads around for a while, it becomes lively and becomes a topic. If it is published again, more people will come to buy the book."
"Hey" Zhu Houzhao smiled brightly, "You are quite smart. ”
Zhang Zhou said, “Your Highness, this is called spreading the word, and you must pay attention to methods and methods in doing business. "
"Okay, then you do it. "
Zhu Houzhao showed his trust and support for Zhang Zhou.
That is, just talking.
Zhang Zhou shook his head and said, "His Royal Highness, it's agreed. It’s a partnership. In terms of rules, do we have to establish a private business first? Brothers can still settle accounts clearly. What’s more, you are the prince and I am the minister. This is too unequal."
Zhu Houzhao said "You don't need me to provide money, right? I don't have any money to give you a partnership."
"I haven't asked the prince to provide money, but should I write the equity document first?"
" "Equity Letter"
"Yes, who holds how many shares in this business, who will manage it, what are everyone's responsibilities, who should be listened to when it comes to business decisions, and if anyone wants to invest in the business in the future, who should How to decide these needs to be clearly stated. Based on the principle of friendly negotiation, both parties will sign and deposit in duplicate after reaching an agreement, which will serve as evidence of future partnership. "
""
"If His Royal Highness is not happy, then this partnership cannot be established. ”
“You really have a lot to do. How can I list it for you? Don’t bully me for being young. I have a brain. I agree with you half the time. At worst, I will leave this bookstore to you in the future.” , but if you dare to take advantage of me in terms of profits."
"Your Highness, the rules have been established. From now on, every once in a while, I will bring the account books to you for review. Be fair and just, and do not bully the old or the young. "Please remember to bookmark, the latest and fastest website without anti-theft and free reading
