"Why? Why did my father steal the palace's workshop shares?"
"Old Chen, tell me, it's obviously your idea, so I'll do the errands, and in the end, my father will get 40% of the benefits for nothing!"
On the carriage, Zhu Houzhao kept chattering indignantly!
Chen Ziyu stretched out his little finger to pick out his ears, and said helplessly: "Your Highness, Your Majesty paid for it!"
"What's wrong with the money? Is it a big deal to have money? I don't lack that little money!" Zhu Houzhao rolled his eyes.
Just after the two of them got the money from Emperor Hongzhi, they left the palace without stopping and drove to the cod liver oil workshop in the suburbs of Beijing.
He didn't even bother to check the vegetables in the greenhouse.
After almost an hour, the carriage finally stopped outside the workshop.
The original plaque of Zhenguo Gongfu has disappeared and been replaced by a cod liver oil workshop.
Zhu Houzhao planned to use this place directly as a cod liver oil workshop, and then look for another place to build the Zhenguo Palace!
"Old Chen, I have asked Liu Jin to go to the dental shop with money to inquire. Do we really want to buy all this land?"
Chen Ziyu squinted and looked around. Except for the Zhenguo Palace, most of the other areas were wastelands. Occasionally, some dilapidated courtyards had been in disrepair for a long time. No one had lived in them for a long time. The remote location here was not suitable for human habitation!
"Your Highness, I have already made arrangements. Some of the land around here is scattered in the tooth row, and the price is very cheap! We will expand the scale of the workshop in the future, and the small land will definitely not be enough!"
Zhu Houzhao nodded, pointed at the cod liver oil workshop and said with a smile: "Old Chen, Liu Banban probably won't be back for a while. Let's go in first to see how the cod liver oil is doing, and wait while we watch!"
"Let's go!" Chen Ziyu agreed immediately!
When Zhao Si saw the two bosses coming, he immediately ran up to meet them. After learning the lesson from last time, he became much more well-behaved this time. He took them directly to the warehouse without saying anything or asking any questions.
Opening the door of the warehouse, Chen Ziyu found that there were not many more barrels in the room than what he saw last time!
"Zhao Si, why are there so many?"
Chen Ziyu asked with a frown.
Zhao Si said respectfully: "My two bosses don't know something. It's been snowing for several days recently. Those fishmongers said that the river was frozen and it was difficult to catch fish, so the goods delivered were a lot less!"
Chen Ziyu stared at these wooden barrels thoughtfully, and after a moment he said in a deep voice: "Go and customize a batch of half-foot-high porcelain bottles of the same size, then boil and wash these porcelain bottles and directly follow what I taught you last time. Start bottling!"
“Remember half a bottle of cod liver oil and half a bottle of honey!”
Zhao Si nodded hurriedly, "I understand! I'll do it now!"
After that, he left the warehouse and went to work according to Chen Ziyu's instructions.
Seeing Zhao Si walking away, Zhu Houzhao said: "Old Chen, are we ready to sell cod liver oil?"
Chen Ziyu shook his head, "Your Highness, we won't sell these for now. We need to use this to honor the Empress Dowager first! We will push it to the market when we have enough goods!"
"Okay, I listen to you!" Zhu Houzhao was very obedient and always actively listened to other people's opinions on things he didn't understand.
At this moment, the door of the warehouse was opened from the outside, and they saw Gu Dayong panting in front of the two of them. His fat face was stained with sweat. He said tremblingly: "Your Highness, Captain, slave. I bought a thousand carts of beef oil as ordered!"
"One thousand cars will be enough for a period of time!" Chen Ziyu's eyes lit up and he continued: "Eunuch Gu, you are sending people to Zhan Shifu and ask Wang Cheng and Yang Huan to bring everyone here!"
"I understand, slave!" Gu Da said with cupped hands.
After Gu Dayong left, Chen Ziyu suddenly remembered, turned to look at Zhu Houzhao and said, "Your Highness, would it be inappropriate for Yulin Wei to leave the palace?"
"Of course it's not appropriate! The Yulin Guard's duty is to guard the palace. What does it mean to come here now?" Zhu Houzhao curled his lips!
Chen Ziyu touched his nose awkwardly, "What should I do? I don't know anyone else!"
"Let's do this for the time being. When the time comes, I will inform Father Ming to form a team of Western Suburban Guards to patrol the Western Suburban Workshops!"
"Pay attention to this!"
Chen Ziyu smiled and gave Zhu Houzhao a thumbs up. Sure enough, it was relaxing and fun to start a business and set up a factory with the prince!
...
It was not until Shenshi that Liu Jin returned to the cod liver oil workshop.
As soon as they met, they took out a stack of land deeds from their arms and handed them directly to Chen Ziyu and Zhu Houzhao.
"Your Highness, Captain Chen, I have bought all the land with a radius of 500 acres, and these are all land deeds!"
Zhu Houzhao and Chen Ziyu each took a stack of land deeds and flipped through them casually. As expected, they all were purchased from the tooth shop!
"How much money did you spend in total?" Zhu Houzhao asked.
Liu Jingong cupped his hands and said calmly: "It cost a total of three thousand taels of silver to return to Your Highness! Since they are all dry land, the price is not expensive!"
Zhu Houzhao nodded, then turned to look at Chen Ziyu. "Old Chen, what should we do next?"
"Wait! After Wang Cheng and Yang Huan bring their people, we will start preparing to build the straw shed! In addition, let all the guys from the cod liver oil workshop come to help!"
Now everything is ready, all we need is the east wind.
We must build the straw huts to house the refugees before they arrive!
"I can also help!"
"Forget it, Your Highness should just watch from the sidelines!"
"Chen Ziyu, do you dare to underestimate me?"
"..."
This naughty kid can't hear any good words! I don’t even want to give you a chance to be lazy!
.............
In two whole days, Yu Linwei and others built 500 thatched huts, which made everyone at Yu Linwei miserable.
However, each of them was as tired as a dog and did not dare to utter a sound. After all, the immediate boss and the prince were squatting on the chairs and seemed to be playing cards or something like that!
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and Lord Chen, the brothers in the Wei have already built five hundred thatched huts!"
Yang Huan cautiously raised his hands and said to the two of them.
Upon hearing this, Chen Ziyu threw away the cards in his hand and said, "No more playing, it's time for us to get down to business, Your Highness!"
"You're cheating!"
Zhu Houzhao looked at the bomb in his hand and his face turned green with anger!
Chen Ziyu ignored Zhu Houzhao as if he hadn't heard anything. He stood up, stretched, patted Yang Huan on the shoulder and said:
"Yang Huan, tomorrow morning you take the prince's handwriting and go directly to Shuntian Mansion to find Mr. Fu Yin and ask him to send people to bring all the refugees here! Let them handle the rest!"
