Zhu Houzhao brought in a wave of passenger traffic.
When customers see the variety of products, they are naturally very interested, but when they see the prices, they are a little intimidated.
"Look, everyone, this is a mirror. It is much clearer than a bronze mirror. A mirror is not expensive, only two hundred coins. A larger one is four hundred coins."
"Look again If you put this magnifying glass on something, you can see even the smallest details. It’s worth five hundred dollars a piece.”
“If you have presbyopia, it’s called glasses. You can see anything close to your eyes."
While the shopkeeper Huang Li was promoting the product, he also pulled over an elderly person to try it on.
After the tryer put it on, he found something to test.
The man was surprised and said, "Sure enough, I can see clearly."
"These glasses are for people who read a lot and can see clearly in the distance."
"Who Believe it."
"Don't say it, this young man comes here to try it out."
Then a scholar was pulled over to try out my myopia glasses.
After he put it on, he almost jumped up and said, "I see it, I see it."
In these days, presbyopia is not taken seriously, but myopia, Many people, especially scholars, see completely different worlds with or without glasses.
"How much is this thing?"
"One tael of silver per pair. It can be made according to the specifications of your eyes, so as to ensure that you can see things in the distance clearly while also doing Those who are usually blind are blessed.”
“Who can be blind if it’s so expensive?”
“It’s good for you to be expensive. , I’ve seen the glasses, it’s time to return them, don’t hold them, you will have to pay for them if they are damaged.”
Huang Li saw that the scholar didn’t want to buy them, so he just came to join in the fun, and then He grabbed the glasses again.
The scholar's reluctance to give up made it clear that this was indeed a good thing, but it was of little use to ordinary people.
"Is there anything cheaper?"
"Yes, here is a glass cup, thirty cents each. Crystal clear."
" Glass cups are not cheaper than porcelain cups, and they can be used as tea bowls." Huang Lize looked very proud, "The things we have here are of high quality. These things are on the market. If you don’t buy it, others will definitely know that it belongs to a noble family.” Reach the pinnacle of life.
"There are also glass beads, which can be said to be precious stones. They cost ten cents each. If you want to buy them, please come early. We will wait while supplies last."
They are on sale outside. middle.
I don’t know if anyone bought it, at least Zhu Houzhao thought it was lackluster.
"There is nothing new, I want to bring more good things back." Zhu Houzhao looked very depressed.
He came out to see interesting things, but what he saw were all things he had experienced before.
Zhang Zhou said, "I've been too busy recently. I don't have time to fix anything good. Come with me."
He then took Zhu Houzhao to the backyard of the shop. There was a car made of iron and wood. The welded "bicycle" was parked there, and the previously cast iron pipes were used here to form the main frame of the bicycle.
"What is this?" Zhu Houzhao was very curious.
Zhang Zhou walked over and got on the bicycle. Although there were no tires and the chain was very stiff, Zhu Houzhao was shocked by the way he pedaled on the flat ground and the two wheels ran.
"It's so fun, give it to me."
Then Zhu Houzhao wanted to do it himself.
Zhang Zhou said, "You don't know how, just watch from the sidelines. I can't do anything if you fall."
"It's okay, I'm not afraid of falling."
Then Zhu Houzhao insisted on getting on the bicycle, which made Liu Jin and others who followed him anxious.
A group of people supported and supported Zhu Houzhao beside him.
Although Zhang Zhou originally built this bicycle to be small, Zhu Houzhao still had short legs and lack of physical strength. After being carried around for a while, he was exhausted and sweating profusely.
"Sir, let's come down." Liu Jin persuaded.
He knew that if Zhu Houzhao fell again, it would probably not be as simple as getting hit when he went back.
Zhu Houzhao was tired and happy.
He got off the bicycle and wiped the sweat from his head, "It's okay."
Zhang Zhou squinted beside him and said, "If you like it, I can customize a set for you. Press I’ll make it according to your height, and I’ll give you a set of protective gear.”
“Okay,” Zhu Houzhao readily agreed, “Will five hundred taels of silver be enough?”
Gao Feng said hurriedly. "Your Highness, we don't need that much money."
Liu Jin originally wanted to say it, but now he didn't dare to undermine Zhang Zhou. The look on his face showed that he also felt that the prince was going to be taken advantage of. .
Zhu Houzhao scolded, "I can spend my own money however I want. Even if I give him five thousand taels, that will be my pleasure."
"Okay."
Zhang Zhou said angrily, "I can give you something, but whether you can play with it or not depends on whether His Majesty agrees. Don't be too happy too early. I'll show you something else."
This time, there was no need for Zhang Zhou to greet him. Zhu Houzhao threw his bicycle to Gao Feng and followed Zhang Zhou in.
Zhang Zhou gave him a small thing to play with in his palm. Zhu Houzhao held it in his hand without knowing what it was.
"What"
"Smash the cannon." Zhang Zhou said.
Zhu Houzhao frowned and said, "This is useful."
Zhang Zhou smiled, took it, and raised it to the sky.
"Bang bang bang bang bang bang bang"
Six consecutive blasts.
Zhu Houzhao’s eyes were shining, as if he had never seen anything so interesting.
"I'll do it"
As he said that, Zhu Houzhao snatched the revolver and smashed the gun, and then pulled the trigger, but there was no sound at all.
"It's broken" Zhu Houzhao didn't know why.
Liu Jin next to him was so frightened that he almost covered his ears and asked, "Mr. Zhang, what is this that is not dangerous?"
Zhang Zhou smiled and shook his head, "It is not dangerous."< /p>
As he spoke, he opened the cannon gun and took out the gunpowder responsible for making the sound. In fact, the materials were just a little black gunpowder and red phosphorus. He didn’t even add potassium chlorate because red phosphorus itself has a low ignition point. , complete ignition by pulling the trigger, just like the principle of a fire extinguisher, directly ignite the black powder in a small area and explode, making the sound of firecrackers.
This is also what Zhang Zhou researched in order to make new firearms.
The craftsman Dongchang found for him was very experienced in casting copper parts, so this revolver smashing gun was made of copper.
Zhang Zhou mainly used this method to complete the manufacturing of fixed-specification castings such as springs and triggers, and used the assembled cannons to complete tests of mechanical sensitivity and durability. He also planned to manufacture standard castings later. bullets, but the biggest technical difficulty lies not in the regulation of these small castings, but in the "percussion charge", that is, the manufacture and selection of the priming charge.
To put it bluntly, this is a semi-finished toy for testing and does not have any lethality.
"Try again"
As he said this, Zhang Zhou handed the smashing gun to Zhu Houzhao.
Now Zhu Houzhao can finally perform cool moves like a "Western Cowboy", even though he himself doesn't know what he is doing.
Took Zhu Houzhao to play in the backyard.
Huang Li hurried over to find Zhang Zhou and said excitedly, "Master, the deal is done."
"How many orders?" Zhang Zhou asked.
Huang Li looked at the boy who came to buy goods earlier, sitting with his boss, playing with something in his hand. He was still a little confused about who he was.
He smiled and said, "There are many orders, especially glass mirrors and glasses, which are the most popular ones. There are also glass cups that are almost sold out."
As he said, Huang Li showed Zhang Zhou the account book he had just recorded.
"Yes, I made more than forty taels of silver, and the income is not bad." Zhang Zhou nodded, then looked at Zhu Houzhao beside him, "The business is profitable, you have no ideas."
Zhu Houzhao curled his lips and said, "It's only forty taels of silver, so I'm sending it to a beggar."
Zhang Zhou said, "I sold forty taels that day, how much can I sell in a year?"
"This" Zhu Houzhao was immediately tested He paused and asked after a while, "More than ten thousand taels seems pretty good."
For the first time in his life, he made money by cheating two uncles, and he only made more than six thousand taels. If Zhang A small shop like Zhou's can sell more than 10,000 taels a year, so the relationship is quite good.
"You should give me 50%, right?" Zhu Houzhao suddenly became interested in this business again.
When Huang Li heard this, his face instantly sank.
What kind of person is this? A naughty kid who dares to come up and ask for 50% of the profit from his boss
Zhang Zhou said, "Okay, I'll give you 50%, but don't expect it in the future." I make this profit every day. Today I am selling something fresh and making impulse purchases. After these people buy it and find that it is of no use, they will think about returning it. Of course they will not refund it to them, but they will definitely not do so in the future. Come again."
"As long as you make money, it doesn't matter." Zhu Houzhao smiled.
Not looking to make money, just looking to have fun.
Zhang Zhou nodded, "If there is any partnership in the future, it will be 50/50. The management rights will be mine. If you agree, we will sign the contract."
"Come again." Zhu Houzhao remembered that he had done this when he and Zhang Zhou opened a bookstore in partnership, and immediately frowned, but then he waved his sleeves and said, "Take the pen, I want to sign."
Zhang Zhou followed him again. Zhu Houzhao signed a 50-50 contract.
Zhu Houzhao felt that he had made a profit, and the eunuch next to him also felt that Zhang Zhou was so generous that he had no friends. He had sold forty taels in less than an hour on the first day of business, and he was even willing to give half of the prince's salary. Zhang Gongsheng is still stingy
But after Zhang Zhou got the contract, he was very satisfied.
For time-travelers, making money is a trivial matter. What they want is this kind of equal and mutually beneficial cooperation model.
"My boss, who is that and why should I give him half?"
Huang Li thinks his boss is crazy.
Zhang Zhou pulled Huang Li's sleeve into the room, pointed at Zhu Houzhao and said, "Let's get to know Mr. Zhu again. He is also half of your boss. Go over and say hello."
"Dongxiaodongjia." Huang Li saluted.
Zhu Houzhao smiled and said, "You are quite good at doing business. If there is any business in the future, I will let you be the shopkeeper."
Zhang Zhou nodded with a smile.
At a young age, he can draw people’s attention and win their hearts.
Huang Li asked again, "What kind of business does the little boss's house do?"
"Bold"
Gu Dayong next to him couldn't listen. A shopkeeper in a market place and a handyman, he dared to ask what business the prince's family did
Huang Li was confused.
I asked what kind of business it was, and it was a taboo
Zhang Zhou smiled and said, "We, Mr. Zhu, are very noble. We don't need to do business to make money. We just need to get to know each other. Go out and continue to look after the counter. Something."
"Yes, yes."
Huang Li left with doubts.
Zhu Houzhao looked at Huang Li's back and said with a smile, "The person you are looking for is quite interesting."
Zhang Zhou said, "This is not interesting, it is the philistine spirit of the market. To him, To him, he only works for his immediate livelihood and socializes with people because of his livelihood. In his eyes, there is no difference between a prince and an ordinary person."
"Ah"
Zhu Houzhao was very confused after hearing this. He just commented that a person is interesting. What are you talking about?
Zhang Zhou said, "If you are still in the mood, come out with me to see the life of the people in this market. Let's go."
"Yes."
Zhu Houzhao didn't know that Zhang Zhou wanted to He was doing something famous, but he thought Zhang Zhou was very sophisticated, so he followed Zhang Zhou and watched Huang Li doing business with the people in the market.
In the Qianqing Palace.
After Zhu Youtang finished his work for the day, he watched the sunset and asked Dai Yi next to him, "Has the prince come back?"
"Not yet."
< p>Dai Yidao, "But I expected it to be soon.""Yes."
Although Zhu Youtang agreed to let his son leave the palace, he still felt uneasy.
Waiting until after sunset, Xiao Jing came back to report, "Your Majesty, the prince has returned to the palace. Everything went well."
Zhu Youtang smiled and nodded, "How are he and Bingkuan getting along?" "
"Very good."
Xiao Jing then informed the emperor in detail about Zhu Houzhao's situation outside the palace.
Xiao Jing was smart that day and did not show up in person. Instead, he secretly observed the surroundings, so that he could look at the problem from an objective perspective.
"Mr. Zhang also signed a contract with the prince, saying that the money he earned was divided into 50 and 50. In one hour, he sold forty taels, and Mr. Zhang reported that the profit was more than thirty taels. Subsequent follow-up We also sold a lot," Xiao Jing said cautiously.
It sounds nonsense for a minister to go into business with a prince.
But Zhang Zhou did it.
And it was done so openly and honestly, without the prince's money or effort, but giving the prince profits.
Zhu Youtang frowned and said, "What is Bingkuan trying to do?"
Even the emperor, who had great trust in Zhang Zhou, couldn't understand Zhang Zhou's intentions, and the few eunuchs next to him were even more confused. I don’t know what kind of medicine Zhang Zhou sells in his gourd.
Xiao Jing said again, "After that, Mr. Zhang also gave some truth to His Highness, saying that people in the market focus on immediate interests and only deal with people within the scope of interests. Then I also saw with the prince how ordinary people exchanged money for things and talked a lot about it, which was not part of the classics but related to the daily life of the people."
"Yes." Zhu Youtang nodded. Kuan has good intentions and wants to make the prince understand the hardships of the world in this way. Haha, Bingkuan usually cares about money, but he is still willing to give half of it to the prince. "
The emperor didn't think it was easy. Zhang Zhou had very bad thoughts.
When it comes to making money, half of it is divided between his sons. The emperor does not think that money is smelly. As an emperor who knows how to govern a country, Xiaozong naturally knows that almost all the troubles in the Ming Dynasty come from "lack of money."
Whether running a country or a family is based on economics.
I heard that Zhang Zhou’s business can sell forty taels an hour, and the net profit is about thirty taels, half of which is shared with his son
Could a father tell his ministers that you don’t Share the money with the prince, don’t lead him astray
He originally asked the prince to goZhang Zhou was here just for learning. If you were studying the Four Books and Five Classics, there was no need to look for Zhang Zhou. He just felt that he could learn things from Zhang Zhou that the Confucian scholars could not learn.
As the emperor.
Zhu Youtang knew very well how helpful those miscellaneous knowledge would be to the prince's future governance. Please remember to bookmark, the latest and fastest website is free to read without anti-theft
