The First Gongsheng of Ming Dynasty

Chapter 46

Because of Zhang Zhou's "stupidity", Zhu Houzhao's hostility towards him was not so strong, and even the eunuchs next to him seemed to follow the little master's joys, sorrows, sorrows and joys, and let go of Zhang Zhou.

Only the one who brought Zhang Zhou up earlier...

From Zhu Houzhao's address, Zhang Zhou also knew that this was Liu Jin, the famous eunuch in history. This person still had great hostility on his face, and he knew that today's plan was designed by him at a glance.

The plan fell through, and Zhang Zhou also had prejudices.

Anyway, we will fight for the front in the future, it doesn't matter if you offend early or late.

Zhang Zhou didn't care too much.

Now it's your Liu Jin's glorious day, isn't it a little far away?

"... Bengong originally thought that when you arrived in the capital, I could have a good time with you, but when you came up, you would seek death! It seems that you have no luck in life. This palace's appreciation..."

Zhu Houzhao gave Zhang Zhou a good meal.

Zhang Zhou couldn't listen anymore, and said: "Then the crown prince doesn't want me to send some delicious and fun things to you before he dies?"

"Huh?" Zhu Houzhao became interested when he heard it, "What's delicious and fun?"

Zhang Zhoudao: "Although I am a scholar, in the past few years, I have been studying how to eat, drink and have fun. I even lost my family property. However, I have researched a lot of interesting things. Although from the perspective of businessmen, most of them are flashy. Difficult to make a profit. But if you use it as a toy..."

"Say it!"

Zhu Houzhao dislikes other people's tricks the most.

Zhang Zhou pointed to the distance and said, "Can the crown prince see clearly the things in the distance outside the window?"

Zhu Houzhao squinted a pair of small eyes, looked over, and then felt that someone had tricked him, turned around and glared at Zhang Zhou: "It's so far away, how can I see clearly?"

Zhang Zhoudao: "I have a kind of thing in my hand. If you hold it in your hand, you can see things in the distance clearly."

"Who can't brag? You should show it!"

"I have just arrived in the capital, and my home has not yet settled down. These things need to be made slowly, but in the near future, they can be made and sent to the prince." Zhang Zhou said.

It has been almost three months since Zhang Zhou arrived in Daming.

In the past three months, he has not only been taking imperial examinations, selling food, and writing scripts. Even if he can't make many complicated industrial objects, it is not difficult to burn glass and do some side jobs. advance.

It is only because these sideline businesses have just started and cannot be industrialized yet.

But if some of the results are used as toys for Zhu Houzhao, then there is no problem at all.

Zhu Houzhao looked disdainful: "You are going to be beheaded, how can you send it to me?"

Zhang Zhou ignored Zhu Houzhao's words, and continued: "I still have glass beads, which are crystal clear and brighter than gems. I also know folk shadow puppetry, and there is a kaleidoscope that can show various colors when you turn it in your hand..."

"enough!"

Zhu Houzhao really didn't want to hear it, so he interrupted Zhang Zhou's words, "I can see it, you are sincerely envious of me, right? You don't mean to say that if you die, I won't have the chance to see these things Bar?"

Zhang Zhou continued to smile without answering, and asked instead: "Prince, do you still appreciate the scripts that I gave you earlier?"

Zhu Houzhao was angry again.

It's okay if you don't mention this, but once you mention it, Ben Gong will be furious.

Which pot is not open to mention which pot!
"Hmph, I don't care about those bad books without a good story."

Of course, Zhu Houzhao couldn't say that one of the purposes of coming to Zhang Zhou today was to get Zhang Zhou to publish the following script.

Is it shameful to be a brat?

Especially when I met Zhang Zhou today, he didn't give him the face of the prince at all, and he couldn't hold it back.

Zhang Zhou sighed: "The prince has a high vision, so naturally he doesn't like those vulgar stories, but if ordinary people hear these stories, do you think they will be interested?"

"Cut! Whether they are interested or not, what does this have to do with me?" Zhu Houzhao sneered at this.

Gu Dayong, who was at the side, came out, and said in a slightly eager tone: "Zhang Jieyuan, where are the scripts for the story?"

Recently, Zhu Houzhao asked them to make up stories, each of them racked their brains, and now they finally met the right master. No matter how hard the prince's mouth is, they are very honest.

Bring the story and we don't have that pressure.

The crown prince wants face, we don't have to.

Zhang Zhoudao: "His Royal Highness, if I open a bookstore, these books will be published and circulated widely. Do you think anyone will come to buy them?"

"Hey!"

Zhu Houzhao's mood was also like a roller coaster, and he suddenly became interested again, "You are quite good at doing business. I think... it may still be profitable."

Zhang Zhou said with a smile: "Since the prince is here, how about opening a bookstore with the prince?"

"what?"

When Zhang Zhou's words fell, the eunuchs next to him were all terrified.

I thought that this Jiangnan Jieyuan was crazy?How dare you propose to do business with the prince in partnership?

As a Jieyuan, you shouldn't have been exposed to business affairs in the market. How embarrassing is that?You still want to bring the prince with you?It seems that you really think the head on the neck is very heavy.

Zhu Houzhao said flatly, "You're going to move your head in two days. How about letting Ben Gong partner with ghosts?"

Zhang Zhoudao: "However, if the minister is right about the fire in the palace, the prince will not consider it without dying. As far as I know, the prince rarely has an excuse to leave the palace. Your Majesty should not know about this time?"

"You... how do you know?" Zhu Houzhao was indeed still a child, and he couldn't hide anything in his heart.

It was cheated out by Zhang Zhou.

Obviously, the epidemic in the city is not over yet, how could Zhu Youtang let his son leave the palace?
But how high is the security level outside... Zhang Zhou said immediately: "The queen asked you to come out?"

Zhu Houzhao twitched his nose twice, and said coldly: "You seem to know everything, but you know that smart people in this world usually don't live long."

The eunuchs next to me thought to themselves.

This guy dares to say that the Qingning Palace is going to catch fire, so he is still afraid of death?

Zhang Zhoudao: "I think, every time the prince goes out of the palace, he should not have too much money. If he wants to go out of the palace to play in the future, especially when he sneaks out of the palace... please forgive me for speaking too directly. What did you see at that time?" Delicious and fun things to buy back... I don't have any money on hand..."

"Enough! What do you want to say?" Zhu Houzhao's heart was already itching.

Zhang Zhou has successfully aroused countless interests in his heart.

For him, Zhang Zhou alone...is interesting enough.

Where have you ever seen such a person?

Zhang Zhou said with a smile: "I don't need the crown prince to contribute money, I just need to borrow the crown prince's name, and the two of us will jointly open the bookstore. If the bookstore loses money in the future, it will be owned by me alone. If it makes a profit, how about we add two to five? "

"What do you mean by adding two to one to make five?" Zhu Houzhao asked.

Even though this kid is clever enough, his knowledge and common sense of humanities are basically just a primary school student.

Gao Feng explained: "Your Highness, it means to divide equally."

Zhu Houzhao was elated when he heard this, and said, "My surname is Zhang, you are quite sensible. You don't need to pay any money from me, but you have to share half of my benefits. Hehe, don't you have a lack of heart?"

Zhang Zhoudao: "Prince, don't be surprised. In fact, it is the minister's calculation. This business can only be profitable if you partner with the prince. If you do it yourself, or find someone else to partner... you must lose everything. !"

"Ha ha."

The prince was quite pleased with this kind of rainbow fart.

Zhang Zhou really didn't talk nonsense.

This place in the capital is full of dignitaries, a Juren, and even a Jinshi in the future, what counts?

If there is a profitable business, it's strange that others don't come to make trouble, not to mention the publishing industry, a project that has policy risks in any era... But if there is a prince as a partner, everything will be different.

If you want to do business with the prince in partnership, or do other things, if the emperor finds out, even if you don't skin your skin and cramps, you will be ordered to stop it.

But if Zhu Youtang knew that Zhang Zhoula's son opened a bookstore... This sounds very reliable. It can not only allow the prince to get in touch with civil affairs, but also engage in the cultural industry without having to personally come forward...

Even if the father is afraid of his child messing around, the problem is that your son has already messed up like this, don't you, as a father, have no idea?Maybe opening a bookstore can make him come back to life?
"Okay, if you don't die, I will agree to open a bookstore with you." The meaning of Zhu Houzhao's life now is to have fun.

Now Zhang Zhou can give him fun, and he accepts it without much hesitation.

And with Zhu Houzhao's cleverness... of course he also wants to take advantage of it.

How did he know that Zhang Zhou wanted to use his power and fame to make money?
Zhang Zhoudao: "Since this is the case, as a partner in the business, His Highness the Crown Prince, it is necessary for the minister to show these scriptures to the Crown Prince in advance, so that the Crown Prince can provide some suggestions to see if there is anything worth deleting."

"Hey hey hey..."

When Zhu Houzhao heard it, the relationship was good.

Originally, I was saving face and couldn't admit that your martial arts book is very good-looking, so I am embarrassed to ask for it.

Now you take the initiative to send it to your door...

Children can be taught!
