Chapter Four Hundred and Eighty Nine: Guessing the Holy Will
Zhou Heng almost cried by Zhu Yunmo. This guy really had a contingent mental decline. What are the standards for this thing? What the old emperor said is done. A problem that can be solved. Why bother to get into trouble on this?
"I'm reminding you?"
Zhou Heng quickly took a step forward. At this time, we should discuss cooperation and not cause trouble. Especially since the old emperor was a moody person, he was so suspicious. If he had to do something at this time, he would have caused trouble for himself.
"Your Majesty calms down. The prince and the eldest grandson are about the same age. After all, they have experienced few things, and King Ning is not around. Besides, you are spoiled by others and you will not say anything."
The emperor glanced at Zhou Heng, and then there was a smile on his face again.
"Okay, get up. It seems that you have understood my thoughts for a long time. It's really a big deal!"
Zhou Heng wanted to curse himself. This old emperor is really talking with thorns. Who can guess this thing? Isn’t it that the emperor is looking for death?
Thinking of this, Zhou Heng was helpless, so he quickly knelt down with fear and fear, raised his eyes and looked at the emperor and said:
"I am afraid. I am just aware that Your Majesty is sympathetic to the soldiers on the border and wants the money of the treasury to be spent on the blade. I can see this kind of heart. If this is to understand Your Majesty's thoughts, then I will recognize it."
Zhu Yunmo didn't understand what Zhou Heng's operation meant.
However, since Zhou Heng was so nervous, he knelt down as well. The old emperor looked at the two of them and sighed, poking Fang Jizhong.
"Why didn't Fan Fang stop them? We're discussing things. Don't kneel down at any time. Get up. I have no intention of blaming them. However, in the subsequent training of military doctors, you must draft a charter as soon as possible and hand it directly to the Minister of War. I will continue to explain it."
Fang Jizhong had already helped the two of them up at this time, and Zhou Heng's back was wet. It was really hard to guess the old emperor's thoughts, but if he could sign the contract smoothly today, the subsequent matters would be easier.
The emperor smiled and looked at Zhou Heng with his head turned around.
"I just want to know, Daliang people, how could I follow your mercy? If you launch such rubber wheels, you will replace them. According to your plan, the price of this thing will not be cheap!"
Zhou Heng was not worried about being able to ask such a detailed question, and bowed and said:
"Your Majesty is very worried, but I am not worried about the sale. Do you know that we just returned to Beijing and gave the Empress Dowager a pair of flower glasses. After that, Huichun Hall has not opened. Someone has already found the prince with his connections and wanted to customize it. And the price is fifty times the current price?"
The old emperor was stunned, glanced at the flower glasses on the imperial desk, and raised them to look.
"How much does this glass cost?"
Zhu Yunmo quickly replied: "Now it is five taels of silver, and the frame is gilded. If it is a red gold pair of flower glasses, twenty taels of silver."
The old emperor was stunned. He didn't expect that this thing was so expensive, if it were a hundred times, wouldn't it cost a thousand taels?
Zhou Heng saw this expression, and he continued:
"Then the peach blossom wine, which was only provided at the palace banquet. That night, the prince and the third prince ordered people to go to Beishan to order. After that, everyone in the capital learned about this and came one after another. Because the production was limited, the wine was only supplied at a fixed quota, which means that each mansion would purchase 50 bottles at a time.
Even now, if you want to buy Taohuazui, you can only get a hundred bottles at a time. The warehouse in Beishan has such wine, at least ten thousand bottles. Can your Majesty know why this is?"
The emperor shook his head. He was already deeply attracted by Zhou Heng's words at this moment. Yes, why?
If you can sell more, you don’t sell, and you also need to limit the sales quota. Isn’t this the business you deliver to the present?
“Why?”
"Weichen thinks that the market still has consumption, which needs guidance. When the Queen Mother wore flower glasses, everyone knew the benefits of flower glasses. After drinking such peach blossoms at the palace banquet, she naturally realized the beauty of this wine. This is the best publicity.
If the market is full of flowers and peach blossoms that are easy to get, then are there people who follow the trend, and are there still people willing to stock up on peach blossoms from the royal palace or various residences at a high price?
Obviously this is not the case, and the same is true for rubber wheels. I will definitely choose the most suitable sales plan and gradually make the market more mature and stable. After all, this material is unique to us and others cannot do it if they want to copy it."
The emperor looked at Zhou Heng with a steady attitude, without saying anything for a long time, and the entire imperial study room became quiet.
I don't know how long it took, but the emperor glanced at the contract, signed his name with a big pen, and then left a copy, and the rest Fang Jizhong took it to Zhu Yunmo.
Zhu Yunmo didn't look at it at all, so he put it back on the paper bag, and then stuffed it into his arms. Now he is a grasshopper on a rope. He said everything else is pretentious, and the key is to negotiate the price.
"Your Majesty, the workshop can be built in the next few days. When the raw materials are in place, we can pay the price. Of course, there are also finished medicines. Will these be sent to the Ministry of War?"
The emperor looked up at Zhou Heng, and felt more and more that the boy in front of him was a fox, but as long as such a shrewd person is used for his own use, what's wrong?
"You can prepare first, don't hurry this. In addition, Fang Hua is familiar with you, so let's follow this matter. As for Fujian, I will issue an edict to send someone to protect the rubber plantation, but the investment on both sides is quite large. Can you two succeed?"
Zhu Yunmo laughed and hurriedly approached the emperor.
"Don't the emperor want to contribute money from the treasury?"
The emperor looked at Zhu Yunmo in an instant, and his eyes scared Zhu Yunmo instantly shrank his neck and quickly grabbed his head with a smile.
"Just just kidding. Although the early investment is a bit large, as long as the Ministry of War's money can be in place in time, we can still support it. If Uncle Huang has no other instructions, we will go to Beishan, choose a site for the workshop, and expand the medical school."
The old emperor nodded, "Then go, by the way, the land deed opposite the Beishan you mentioned belongs to yours?"
Zhu Yunmo quickly shook his head, "That's from Duke of Wei. I'll go to find my grandmother later, and I think I can ask for it even if I come."
The emperor waved his hand quickly, "That's good, you guys go back!"
Zhu Yunmo and Zhou Heng quickly walked out of the imperial study room. Fang Jizhong looked at the contemplative emperor, and he felt like a mirror in his heart. The emperor was a little worried.
"Your Majesty, do you need to ask Fang Hua to remind them that cooperation cannot be leaked?"
The old emperor raised his eyelids and glanced at Fang Jizhong.
"You are so confused that they will hide this matter more strictly than anyone else. If it is leaked, wouldn't the fat meat in your mouth fly away?
Besides, as long as you don’t pay money from the treasury, even if you let them make a little more money, can you find someone who can do this?"
Fang Jizhong thought about it carefully. Not to mention that no one can do such a thing, whether it is the Ministry of War or the entire court. It involves money, has strong medical skills, and can also get a large piece of land. The most important thing is to understand the techniques of these gums.
Thinking of this, Fang Jizhong shook his head.
"Not really!"
The emperor waved his hand, as if he was a little tired, but he still glanced at the memorial on the imperial desk.
"Send the Minister of War Lu to come here, I have something to explain."
Soon, Fang Jizhong brought a middle-aged man to the imperial study room. After a greeting, the old emperor waved his hand.
"Give Lu Aiqing a seat!"
Fang Jizhong quickly brought a chair to the Minister of War, and after he sat down, the man looked at the emperor.
"I wonder if your Majesty is here to come, but you have something to give me?"
The old emperor looked at him with concern.
"I just came to the verdict of the Imperial Hospital of the Imperial Hospital. He said that Ning Yuanhou's health has improved a lot, and he got out of bed and walked a few steps this morning. Is this a matter?"
The Minister of War quickly bowed and bowed, his face full of gratitude.
"I thank Your Majesty for your grace. My father often said that this is all thanks to Your Majesty's blessing. Otherwise, this life would really be spent on the bed. My father also said that when he was a little better, he would walk into the palace in person and come over to thank him."
The old emperor also felt very emotional on his face, and he sighed and stood up to help the Minister of War.
"Get up and talk. If it weren't for your father and a group of veterans, I wouldn't have ascended the throne. I remember this friendship. After years of war, your Lu family has been stained with blood on the battlefield. I will never forget it."
After saying this, Lu Shangshu's eyes were a little wet.
"Your Majesty is a wise monarch!"
The emperor smiled. The general was so good that he would not give fancy compliments. However, these words made him feel comfortable when he heard them. Then he waved his hand and said:
"Today, you have something to do, including military patent medicine supply, military medical training, and configuration of temporary hospitals and ambulances."
Hearing this, Shangshu Lu instantly raised his head and looked at the old emperor with an incredible gaze.
