Chapter 71

Jiajing greeted Zhang Hao over.

As soon as Zhang Hao heard this, he walked over.

"Your Majesty, who do you want me to hammer to death?" Zhang Hao said in front of Jiajing.

"You don't want to hammer someone to death every day, okay? I still need you to do the work of killing people?" Jiajing stared at Zhang Hao angrily and shouted.

"Your Majesty, I'm fast, if I hit the hammer, people will die!" Zhang Hao stood there and said solemnly.

Jiajing reluctantly touched his forehead and surrendered, let's not talk about hammering to death!

"Zhang Manzi, you remember, you just follow what you said today and stick to the end, yes, don't tell the public, I also have a share! In this matter, I will definitely protect you!" Jiajing sat there, facing the Zhang Hao said.

"Don't worry, I understand, just kidding, if they say I'm a businessman, I'll hammer him to death!" Zhang Hao nodded and said.

When Jiajing heard it, why did he still say that he wanted to hammer someone to death, so he stared at Zhang Hao and said again: "Did you hear what I just said, I don't have a share of this workshop, so I can operate it easily, understand?"

"I see, didn't you say it? I'm not a fool!" Zhang Hao stood there, looking at Jiajing with a puzzled expression.

"Xingxingxing, you are not a fool, you understand!" Jiajing surrendered again and did not want to argue with Zhang Hao. Jiajing knew very well that arguing with him would kill him.

At this moment, after Xu Jie and Lu Ben went out, they couldn't do it with anger.

"It's nonsense, slanderous, what a farmer, is he a farmer? Is he qualified to be a farmer? He's a businessman!" Xu Jie shouted angrily.

"Hey, the point is, what he said seems to make sense!" Lu Ben also sighed.

"What's the point? What's the point? It's just arguing. What he does is businessman's business, selling goods!" Xu Jie shouted at Lu Ben.

"But he doesn't sell goods. He sells goods. The goods are produced by himself. The merchant may not be counted, but the labor is no problem!" Lu Ben said to Xu Jie again.

"Hey, why are you helping him?" Xu Jie looked at Lu Ben gloomily and said.

"It's not the old man who speaks for him. He said yes, there is no problem. For example, the person who sells soap is a businessman, but Zhang Hao is a soap producer, but he can't be regarded as a businessman. This old man still supports Zhang Hao, but To say that he is a farmer is too much!" Lu Ben said to Xu Jie.

The status of scholars, farmers, industry and commerce has long been fixed.

"Okay, I'm going to tell those ministers about this, and ask them to write a letter to refute Zhang Hao. I don't believe it anymore. With so many ministers, they can't refute a Zhang Manzi, and a fool is so difficult to deal with?" Xu Jie said very angrily.

When Lu Ben heard this, he shook his head and said, "You're really wrong, this Zhang Manzi is really hard to deal with, he's a tough guy, it's not easy to convince him, the emperor's intention was very obvious just now, let's go Convince Zhang Manzi and convince him not to do this. If he can't be persuaded, forcibly convict him, Zhang Manzi may really dare to hammer us to death.

It is impossible for the emperor to arrest him. The emperor likes this Zhang Manzi very much. Besides, it is impossible for the emperor to deal with a fool, right?If it spreads like this, the emperor no longer has prestige, so let's try to persuade him about this matter! "

"Well, I will definitely be able to convince him that this Zhang Manzi is really not small, and he can actually make soap!" Xu Jie nodded and said, still admiring Zhang Hao in his heart.

How amazing is it for a fool to come up with such a profitable thing!

Soon, Lu Ben arrived at the cabinet side.

Yan Song saw him coming back and asked, "How?"

"Hey, Mr. Yan Ge, I'm afraid this is not easy to handle!" Lu Ben sat down and said with a sigh.

And Yan Song walked to Xu Jie and sat down, wanting to listen to him.

Then Lu Ben told Yan Song what Zhang Hao said.

"Farmer? He Zhang Hao is a farmer? No? You didn't refute?" Yan Song heard it and stared at Lu Ben and asked.

"How do you refute? What do you say?" Lu Ben asked back looking at Yan Song.

"Here I am!" Yan Song was stunned when he heard this, and then he started to think about it, and found that the logic was indeed correct, very similar to a peasant.

"Is there no way? What this kid said is not unreasonable. Now the emperor's meaning is to let the ministers persuade Zhang Hao, otherwise, this matter will be difficult to handle!" Lu Ben said looking at Yan Song.

Yan Song stood up at this moment and thought about the loopholes carefully, but after thinking about it, he found that there were no loopholes, which was very reasonable.

Yan Song was a little irritable. With such a thing, Zhang Hao could actually make a comeback and let the ministers have nothing to do with Zhang Hao?
"Old Yan Ge, you still need to think of a way to do this. This soap cannot be produced by Zhang Hao! You can hand it over to the Ministry of Industry and let the Ministry of Household supervise it. I don't know what the profit is. If the profit is high, it can be done. This is how it is done!" Lu Ben suggested to Yan Song.

"Leave it to the Ministry of Industry, Zhang Manzi can agree? No matter how much profit, Zhang Manzi made this, and he will easily agree? Let the emperor go up and say it, it won't work, isn't this asking the emperor to snatch the minister's property?" Yan Song Looking back at Lu Ben said.

"That's what I said, now, I can only rely on you, the old man can't figure it out!" Lu Ben shook his head and said with a wry smile.

Yan Song also sat down helplessly, he really underestimated this Zhang Manzi.

It stands to reason that Zhang Manzi can't be so smart. How can such a countermeasure be thought of, and the farmers, if Zhang Hao really wins, those ministers will be laughed at, and the people will think that those ministers are incompetent.

"I'm afraid this matter is not so simple. The ministers have to figure out a way. If Zhang Hao wins, where will the ministers' faces go?" Yan Song looked up at Lu Ben and said.

"No, this Zhang Hao will really cause problems for everyone!" Lu Ben also nodded and said in agreement.

Then, those ministers in the capital also knew Zhang Hao's rhetoric and wanted to write a rebuttal memorial, but when they picked up the pen, they didn't know how to refute, as if they couldn't refute.

So they went to read the laws of the Great Ming Dynasty, to read those classics, hoping to find a reason to refute Zhang Hao.

And Zhang Hao didn't care about that. After eating at noon, he carried a bag of money and went to the Danfang. Jiajing was very happy to see him bring the money back. Although the money is not divided now, he has a share.

So he smiled and looked at Zhang Hao and asked, "How much?"

"Ah, it's more than 4 taels. There's no goods left now, and they're making them hurry up!" Zhang Hao looked at Jiajing and replied.

"Well, then let them do it quickly, good boy, really capable!" Jiajing praised Zhang Hao and said.

This soap is really profitable!
Zhang Hao nodded with a smile, and returned to his position. He had just started to count the money, and a eunuch outside informed him that it was Zhang Rong, a British official, who asked to see him.

"Well, Zhang Rong, let him in!" Jiajing nodded after hearing this.

After a while, Zhang Rong arrived at the pill room wearing a suit of armor, knelt down on one knee and said, "My minister, Zhang Rong has seen the emperor!"

"Well, give me a seat!" Jiajing nodded and said with a smile.

"Huh?" At this time, Zhang Rong also saw Zhang Hao counting money there.

He had also heard before that Zhang Hao was making that soap, and it sold well. He also heard that he was making money, but Zhang Rong was a little surprised by Zhang Hao's blatant counting of money here.

"Your Majesty, he?" Zhang Rong pointed in Zhang Hao's direction, looked at Jiajing and said.

"Ignore him, tell me, why did you come here? But something happened?" Jiajing waved his hand and asked Zhang Rong.

"Back to the emperor, there is something. The Ministry of Household promised 30 taels of silver before, but it has given 2 taels so far, and there are still 28 taels that have not been given, and the materials we seized before have not yet been sold. Some materials are not easy to sell, and it will take time.

But there is no money in Daying, it’s not enough. The expenses of 8 people are huge. Please ask the emperor and the Ministry of Households to ask them to allocate 5 taels of silver to us for emergency! " Zhang Rong cupped his hands to Jiajing and said.

"Don't you have 5 taels?" After hearing this, Jiajing looked at Zhang Rong and asked.

"No, the minister just came over from the household department, they said no, let the minister find a way by himself!" Zhang Rong shook his head helplessly.

"Yeah!" Jiajing thought for a moment, then turned to look at Zhang Hao.

Zhang Hao was still counting money there, very attentive.

So he turned around, looked at Zhang Rong and said, "Do you see those bags behind Zhang Manzi? It's all money, you ask him for it!"

"Ah?" When Zhang Rong heard this, he looked at Jiajing in surprise and asked him for it!
"However, we have to wait for a while until he has finished counting the money, otherwise, this kid will get angry and say that I disturbed him to count the money!" Jiajing said to Zhang Rong.

"No, the emperor, how much money does he have?" Zhang Rong still looked at Jiajing in shock and said.

"But there are a lot of them. It is estimated that there are 40 to [-] taels in it. I don't know the specifics, but he is rich anyway!" Jiajing said while looking at Zhang Rong with a smile.

Zhang Rong looked at Jiajing in disbelief.

"Really, wait for a while, I will ask Zhang Haoyun to give you 5 taels!" Jiajing said happily, feeling a little proud.

Zhang Rong followed him, he didn't let him suffer, he was so rich now.

"Your Majesty? This money?" Zhang Rong asked cautiously, knowing that it must be related to soap, but he didn't know that Zhang Hao controlled so much money.

"I made money from soap, don't tell others, I will tell you alone, the money was earned by Zhang Manzi with 1 taels of silver, and now he can get back 8 to [-] taels of silver every day!" Very proud.

On the other hand, Zhang Rong widened his eyes and looked at Jiajing with a look of disbelief!
