The prescription was just a few words. After Gu Chen quickly finished writing it, he handed it to Zhu Biao with both hands.
"Your Highness's kind words, I will definitely keep them in mind."
It is impossible to be greedy, starting from the first day after passing through.
He swore that he would never take a penny that he shouldn't take under Lao Zhu's rule. Even if he died of poverty, he would never go beyond the rules.
Zhu Biao took the prescription and took a look and saw that the raw materials were indeed very cheap.
Although it is a little troublesome to make, it is still very fast once the craftsman is familiar with it.
"Calculating it this way, a piece of so-called briquettes only costs about two cents, but it can keep people warm for more than three hours. It's really a good thing."
You know, a pound of medium-sized charcoal costs fifty cents per pound.
The lowest charcoal fire left in the homes of ordinary people costs ten cents per catty.
Just like this, the people are still reluctant to use it for themselves.
They have to stay and take them to the city to sell them in winter.
So I can get a little money to sell grain and buy some cloth to spend the winter.
"More than three hours." Hearing this, Gu Chen explained with a smile: "If it is used for cooking, it can only be used for three hours without turning off the flame. If it is only used to boil water for heating."
"It can burn for up to six hours. It produces less smoke and is not as choking as ordinary black charcoal."
"However, this thing is not without its shortcomings."
"When you use it, you must open the window, otherwise it is easy to be poisoned and people will die."
Gu Chen must make it clear, lest someone else dies and he has to bear the blame. What an injustice.
"Okay, okay."
Lao Zhu came over at this time and looked at his big son with joy.
"When we get back, we'll start work immediately. Also tell everyone that this thing must be left open for use, otherwise people will die."
After saying that, he looked at Gu Chen again.
"I didn't see it, but you kid is not only a good censor, but you also have a very good mind."
"It's just that in the future, if there are any good things, you must remember to take them out, but you must not hide and enjoy them by yourself."
"You are an official of the people of the Ming Dynasty. You must consider the people at all times."
"do you know?"
If Lao Zhu is still dissatisfied with Xiao Gu, it is naturally that he has something good that he has not yet brought out.
"Yes." Gu Chen explained: "I plan to present it to His Majesty after the New Year, but I didn't know..."
You did it yourself.
"Oh, I came a little early." Lao Zhu said with a smile: "Then if you have such good things that benefit the country and the people in the future."
"No matter when, just come to us directly."
"Even if it's dark, we will open the palace gate for you."
"Tell me, what reward do you want?"
Since he has taken good things from others, he, Lao Zhu, is not a tough guy, so he naturally has to give some benefits.
Of course Gu Chen wanted a salary increase and an iron certificate for the alchemy book.
But the former seemed greedy for money, and the latter was not qualified, so he naturally didn't dare to mention it.
"Since I am an official of the Ming Dynasty, these are what I should do, but I dare not ask for credit, let alone talk about rewards."
If you sincerely want to give it, then you can decide for yourself.
At this time, Gu Chen finally understood why the senior sister in her previous life complained about her boyfriend.
"For birthdays and holidays, always ask me what I want and whether I want it."
"How do I answer this? How can I answer it easily?"
"If you want to give it to me, just give it to me. Don't ask. If you ask, just don't want it."
When his senior sister said this, he couldn't quite understand it.
I even feel that being a man is really pitiful and I will be scolded whether I give my girlfriend something or not.
But now, I have become the person who asks for nothing.
Hypocrisy! ! !
"Gu Chen, although you are young, you have a very good consciousness. Okay, since you don't want it, let's go back."
"Biao'er, let's go."
Lao Zhu is in a wonderful mood now, and the trip out today is really worth it.
Not only did I have a good meal, but I also got so many good things.
When I go back and tell my sister, she will not be able to praise myself for being diligent and thrifty.
Gu Chen sent people out. After closing the door, he couldn't help but cover his chest and make a pained expression. Lao Zhu was such a tough guy.
He said no, but he really refused to reward me. What kind of scumbag behavior is this?
Fortunately, his glass shop was not discovered, but would he blame himself if he found out about it later?
Probably not, after all, Liuli can only be regarded as a luxury product now, and cannot be regarded as something good that benefits the country and the people.
Sister-in-law Gu and her eldest brother were still asleep after drinking. Gu Hao was reading a book in his room. Only Su Wanying stood not far away and looked at him.
"Husband, who are those two people?"
She dared to conclude that those two people could never be her husband's subordinates.
Just kidding, whose boss is so respectful to his subordinates?
"Say it and I'll scare you to death."
Gu Chen hurriedly took his wife back to the house, closed the door, and asked the two maids to go away before telling his wife seriously.
"That's His Majesty and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."
It doesn't matter if you tell your daughter-in-law, if she comes to visit again next time, she will know better and won't say anything she shouldn't.
To be honest, he was really frightened when he saw Lao Zhu coming to the door.
You said it’s not good for him to visit someone else’s house. Why should he visit a low-level official’s house?
But think about it, it's true. The censor is a low-ranking official, but he has great power.
When Lao Zhu passed by, he came to take a look, but there was nothing strange about it.
"What?"
Su Wanying covered her mouth, a little unbelievable. She originally thought she was just a high-ranking official, but she didn't expect that His Majesty came to visit in person?
But how does His Majesty look like an emperor?
But thinking of His Majesty's life experience, Su Wanying suddenly felt that she could understand it.
"Well, sir, is there anything inappropriate in our family?"
Gu Chen shook his head. He thought it was okay, but he didn't know what Lao Zhu was thinking. He could only take one step at a time.
Anyway, whatever he wants, he will give it to him, just to survive.
As long as there is a steady stream of things and methods, Lao Zhu can always be beaten to death.
Zhu Yunwen wanted to be a benevolent king and not kill any living beings. After Zhu Di came to the throne, he would imitate that person, yes, Yang Rong, and knelt down and proclaimed his vassalship.
This day can be lived.
In the carriage, Lao Zhu was holding the prescription, and the smile on his lips never dropped. It was even more funny when he thought of Gu Chen's deflated expression.
"These literati are just not straightforward enough. They never say what they want directly. They wait for me to reward them, but we don't get what they want."
It saves money and is refreshing.
"Dad~" Zhu Biao looked at his father with a proud look and couldn't help but said: "You are the emperor, how can you argue with your ministers about such trivial matters."
Everyone has this temper, and Gu Chen is not the only one who has this temper.
"We have to care about it." Lao Zhu held the prescription in his arms and complained about Liu Bowen: "Look at Mr. Li and Mr. Liu."
"Do you know why we like Mr. Li and don't like Mr. Liu?"
"Because Mr. Li is straightforward. He wants a beautiful wife or a golden mansion. He can use his mouth, unlike Mr. Liu."
"He is just like the god who doesn't eat fireworks. We don't like this kind of person."
In fact, what made him most angry was that Mr. Liu would leave him at every turn, resign and go home at every turn, and he didn't understand.
Why can't Mr. Liu continue to serve the Ming Dynasty in the court?
Okay, okay, since he is noble, then he will fulfill his noble nature.
