.,

Emperor Hongzhi returned to the palace.

During this journey, he pretended to be worried, but he was full of energy.

That bastard of the crown prince... this is really sleepy, just sent a pillow.

After arriving at Fengtian Hall, Emperor Hongzhi sat down, and immediately summoned Liu Jian and others to have an audience.

Liu Jian and the others came to salute. It was getting late at this time, and it was almost time to be on duty. At this time, His Majesty suddenly called, which made them feel a little strange.

Emperor Hongzhi glanced at them, suddenly laughed and said, "Have you heard of Shiquan Dabulu?"

Liu Jian and the three looked at each other.

This topic is a bit sudden.

But speaking of this...they felt a little guilty.

Because although the three of them are still relatively quiet, they are by no means unkind.

For example, the usual reciprocity is still there, after all... With so many former students and old officials, it's hard for you to put on a straight face and shut everyone out.

There are simply too many Shiquan Dabulu in the three houses, and they are all given by other people's coincidence.

Liu Jian and the others never expected that His Majesty would mention this thing on purpose.

With some embarrassment, Liu Jian coughed and said, "Your Majesty..."

Emperor Hongzhi suppressed his hand, and didn't want Liu Jian to interrupt him. He said indifferently: "Does the Qing family know that the prince and Fang Qing's family have built a workshop to sell Shiquan Dabulu, and how much profit can they make every year?"

Liu Jian and the three looked at each other again.

Your Majesty, is this delusional?

It's just a small workshop, but His Majesty actually cares about it?

Emperor Hongzhi said with a deep smile, "I have done the calculations for them, and this year's income is three to fifty million taels of silver..."

Three thousand and five thousand are nothing, but with the word ten thousand at the end, it is completely different.

Liu Jian's pupils constricted suddenly, his whole body trembled, and he felt that his breathing was about to stop.

Li Dongyang was in a trance, bewildered.

And Xie Qian stared straight at Emperor Hongzhi without saying a word.

The new tax system has begun to be piloted gradually, and the revenue of the treasury has continued to rise. Last year's annual income has reached more than 36 million taels. Of course... this is just that the real tax system has not been rolled out. This year's increase, Mostly it is also gratifying, I am afraid that it will rise a lot.

But even so... This is just a small workshop, how did it rise to this point?

My eyes are red and my ears are hot.

If the old man has so much money, how much can he do in this prime minister? Isn't it easy to become a generation of virtuous ministers?

But why... But this silver seems to have grown legs, so it is rushing to the prince and Fang Jifan?

The three of them pursed their lips and remained silent.

Although his heart was extremely hot, he also knew that this money had nothing to do with him at all, and he just listened to it, then exclaimed, and finally tried not to think about it.

Emperor Hongzhi seemed to see what the three of them were thinking, and said with a smile: "I made a bet with the crown prince. If I can manage the workshop well, I will hand over the workshop to the court. After I have made up my mind, I will get half of the workshop. Money, half of it is under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Households, and the money obtained is used to enrich the national treasury and internal funds, what do the three Qing family think?"

Liu Jian immediately widened his eyes in disbelief.

In this way... Isn't it... Isn't it... The annual revenue of the national treasury can be increased by an additional ten or twenty million taels of silver?

This...is tantamount to great joy from heaven.

Liu Jian said excitedly: "It's just business?"

"That's right." Emperor Hongzhi smiled and nodded, "It's just business!"

"I only need to run such a small workshop? Your Majesty, how many workers are there in this workshop?"

"Just over a thousand people." Emperor Hongzhi said.

Liu Jian and Li Dongyang looked at each other.

Each can see ecstasy in each other's eyes.

Liu Jian seemed to be a little bit more energetic all of a sudden, and said with a smile: "Only a thousand people, it's too simple. Your Majesty... the old minister is not boasting, not to mention a thousand people, but ten thousand people, Even 100,000 people is just a mere matter, this bet, His Majesty and ministers will definitely win."

Xie Qian also said: "The old minister is not boasting. When he ruled the river, the old minister was ordered to control 70,000 craftsmen and peasants. What is a workshop with a thousand people?"

Even Li Dongyang couldn't help thinking.

This His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is clearly giving money, but there is some intention behind it.

Emperor Hongzhi cheered up: "Yes, I also thought it was a small workshop, but I really couldn't bear to seize their workshop, but the prince's temper is too arrogant, if I don't sharpen him, he won't know the lesson I have already made up my mind. In these two days, I will go with Liu Qing and Li Qing. Xie Qing’s family will be on duty here. He is my chief assistant, who is best at making decisions. I sit in the center, and this workshop...is determined to win."

Xie Qian couldn't help being depressed when he heard that he had to stay in the cabinet on duty.

But when I think about it carefully, I have used three sledgehammers to kill a chicken, is it even worse than my own?

I am in the cabinet, waiting for the good news.

It is good to have money, the natives over there are rebelling and need to pay more money, and this year there is a great famine in Guanzhong...

The four monarchs and ministers all danced happily, and a group of four together

, who is more than two hundred years old, at this moment, his face is full of competitiveness, and he looks like he has rejuvenated.

…………

The next morning, just as he was on duty, Chen Tong, the left servant of the household department, was called away for no reason.

Then, he met the emperor in the palace.

The emperor was dressed in casual clothes, and so were Liu Jian and Li Dongyang, both dressed in Confucian fir.

This made Chen Tong who didn't know the situation feel very unusual.

When Li Dongyang saw Chen Tong, he said to Emperor Hongzhi without waiting for Chen Tong to salute, "Your Majesty, this is the left servant of the household department. I think it would be best to invite this person to go with me.”

Emperor Hongzhi looked at Chen Tong carefully and nodded.

He couldn't help laughing and said: "The Qing family... is cautious in the end, but it is also good to be cautious. Originally, I wanted to call Wang Bushi from the Imperial Academy, but this Wang Bushi is only a member of the Imperial Academy. Although he knows the way of business , but such things are useless after all. Besides, I and Zhuqing are enough, no matter how many people there are, it will appear that I am bullying that kid."

Chen Tong carefully looked at Emperor Hongzhi and the two cabinet elders, always feeling that they were secretly pleased.

What...what a good thing?

Soon, he understood what was going on.

His Majesty took the three of them out of the palace, and Li Dongyang secretly informed him about the bet.

After hearing this, Chen Tong laughed from ear to ear: "There really is such a thing as a pie in the sky, I'm an official... I'm an official...haha..."

The four arrived at the workshop happily.

According to the rules, each other's identities are kept secret.

Emperor Hongzhi and several ministers lived in this workshop these days.

Within half a month, it was completely operated by the four people of Emperor Hongzhi, and it was announced to the outside world that if the owner changed here, if the revenue increased within half a month, Emperor Hongzhi would be considered a winner.

But if the revenue drops, then Emperor Hongzhi loses.

Fang Jifan was very considerate. He seemed to be afraid that Emperor Hongzhi, Li Dongyang, Liu Jian and others would not know anything about Shiquanda Supplementary Lotion, so he took them around the work sheds everywhere, happily pointing out the process. What does it do, what does that process do.

Liu Jian and the others were overwhelmed and dumbfounded.

Shiquan Dabulu...

Is that how it was made?

This dog thing...

But now it's important.

Li Dongyang and Chen Tong together, the four people present are all the most intelligent people in the world, and they can understand what is going on in this workshop immediately.

Therefore, Chen Tong gave Li Dongyang a firm look, as if to say, look at it.

Immediately afterwards, Zhu Houzhao began to make a delivery with Emperor Hongzhi. Emperor Hongzhi was eager to take office. Although he felt that this was absurd, he felt that he had earned so much money and put it on the prince. It is good for me and the treasury here, it is beneficial to the world.

Ever since, he solemnly accepted the seal of the owner of the workshop.

After that, Zhu Houzhao and Fang Jifan fled directly and disappeared without a trace.

Emperor Hongzhi was full of energy and full of confidence.

He sat in the spacious public room with a surge of emotion, and there was a luxurious and comfortable sofa in it.

Not only that, beside the public house, there are several servants serving next door, and the daily necessities are all extravagant.

Emperor Hongzhi even saw a menu.

These are all for Zhu Houzhao, and the various dishes in it are shocking.

Emperor Hongzhi laughed and said: "Look, look at my son, he is so extravagant at such a young age, and the things he uses are all of great value. These are all included in the revenue. It was squandered by him. The first thing I did was to cut down all these useless things, and just eat a simple meal. The so-called way of business is nothing more than increasing revenue and reducing expenditure. In this way, you can save more than one hundred taels of silver every day, don't underestimate the mere hundred taels, it will be 1,500 taels in the past half month."

When Liu Jian and the others heard this, their hearts were all surging.

Liu Jian bowed down, bowed his head in a sincerely convinced manner, and said, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty is the first to do this and save money. Although it only saves a thousand and five hundred taels, your majesty has taken the lead in this workshop. It might be amazing, but based on this, the revenue and profits are even more gratifying."

Chen Tong was also inexplicably moved.

He knew in his heart that it was Li Dongyang who promoted him this time, and it was a godsend opportunity for him to have the opportunity to perform in front of His Majesty.

I once managed a horse farm at the border, and I also served as a local parent officer for two terms, and I have worked in the Ministry of Households for so many years. These valuable experiences can be fully displayed in front of His Majesty today.

So he said: "The first thing His Majesty did was to take advantage of the interests, so why worry about this workshop not being prosperous?"
