Three days later, news of the Yunliang Pavilion Poetry Meeting quickly spread throughout the capital.
For a while, although some officials wrote to impeach King Xin, which was unbecoming of the royal family, they were soon submerged in the civil and military impeachment of Wei Zhongxian.
"Xiaowu, as the Great Mingxin King, how can you be so greedy for money?"
In the Changchun Palace, Emperor Tianqi pointed at Zhu Youjian's nose and cursed.
"Brother, will I really come forward? These things were all done by Wang Chengen, and there is no shortage of businessmen in the imperial village."
"Just think about it, if I auction the equipment you made, firstly, I can let the world know that your craftsmanship is unparalleled, and secondly, I can get a lot of financial subsidies.
Although Wei Daban has just put 5 million taels of silver into your inner treasury, it is rootless water, how can it compare with the long-flowing water? "
Seeing that Zhu Youxiao's anger subsided, Zhu Youjian continued: "Brother, this store is a joint venture between our brothers.
"Brother, you are our chief master. Think of a louder name. We will make this name spread all over the world. Let everyone know that there is a great carpenter like you in the world."
This sentence completely moved Zhu Youxiao. Zhu Youjian felt as if there was a fire in his heart, which suddenly started to burn. He also wanted to leave a name for future generations.
Originally he wanted to be a good emperor and be famous throughout the ages, but after battling wits and courage with ministers for so long, Zhu Youxiao knew that if he wanted to become a "good emperor" in the eyes of the civil and military officials of the dynasty, it would not be long before the Ming Dynasty was gone.
Although it cannot be passed down through the ages because of a good emperor, it is not bad because one's own craftsmanship has been passed down through the ages.
Set up a shop, come up with a stage name, and see if your craft is popular or not. Everything will speak for itself.
Great idea, that's a really good idea. Zhu Youxiao rubbed his hands excitedly.
He has already begun to think about what kind of stage name he should give himself, so that it can be catchy and spread easily. As for opening a store, there is no need to discuss it anymore, it must be opened.
Zhu Youjian raised his little face and kept looking at his expression. Seeing Zhu Youxiao's flushed face, Zhu Youjian knew that he had been impressed. He said no more, just stood aside and waited quietly.
Not long after, I heard Zhu Youxiao say with slight hesitation: "My stage name is Qiming. In the future, I will be called Master Qiming."
"Qiming. What a good name." Zhu Youjian immediately flattered him. Although I don't know the reason why my eldest brother chose this stage name, it doesn't affect my flattery.
"What's good about it, you know?"
"Forehead,"
With a "poof", Zhu Youxiao couldn't help laughing and scolding: "Xiao Wu, you have to study more, otherwise you will make people laugh in the future. You can open a shop. If you have any questions, please contact me."
"By the way, if you want to find someone to cooperate with in the future, don't look for those shady forces."
"I know, brother."
Zhu Youjian returned to Prince Xin's Mansion happily. As soon as they entered the mansion and before they had time to sit down, a young eunuch came in to report: Eunuch Bingbi, the Supervisor of Ceremonies, and Wei Zhongxian, the Supervisor of the East Factory, were visiting.
Wang Chengen politely welcomed Wei Zhongxian into the hall and guided Wei Zhongxian to sit down.
After a while, Zhu Youjian came out and sat on the main seat.
Wei Zhongxian looked at the small figure and childish face opposite him. I was a little distracted for a moment.
Although the other party is young, he has a good fortune and is born with the surname Zhu.
He can be regarded as his nominal master.
Even if he is already the Eunuch Bingbi, the Superintendent of Ceremonies, and the Admiral of the East Factory, he has great power in his hands.
But the master is the master, and the slave is the slave.
He knew very well that all his power depended on the young emperor. Once the boy Tianzi becomes unhappy, he may lose his head at any time.
The person in front of him is the one who is truly favored. He can ignore the impeachment from civil and military officials. Once you anger this young man, if you buy a copy from the emperor, you will definitely not be able to eat it and carry it around.
I have no conflict with him, it's better to be on good terms with each other. When you go out to hang out, the most important thing is not to offend people you shouldn't offend.
Zhu Youjian was inexplicably stunned when he looked at Wei Zhongxian, who was tall and handsome. He was not sure about the pulse of this eunuch who was the first in history, and he was unwilling to speak first. There was a moment of silence in the palace.
Wei Zhongxian came to his senses and secretly blamed himself. How can you be distracted at this time? Isn't this obviously offending people? Fortunately, I came here as a gift this time.
"Cough", he coughed lightly, first attracting His Highness King Xin's attention.
Then he looked at King Xin, with a sincere smile on his face, and slowly asked: "Your Highness, King Xin, I heard that you are looking for a store, I wonder if this is the case?"
"That's what happened." Zhu Youjian admitted directly without shirk.
Wei Zhongxian no longer hesitated, took out a few pieces of paper from his arms and handed them over.
After Wang Chengen stretched out his hand to tie the knot, he glanced at it and whispered a few words in Zhu Youjian's ear.
Zhu Youjian did not reach out to take it from Wang Chengen's hand, but just asked lightly: "I wonder what Wei Daban means?"
"Oh, my Lord Xinwang, didn't you dig up a few rats during the renovation of the capital camp? Your Majesty ordered me to deal with these debris. Seeing that Your Highness needs them, I hurriedly sent them to you."
"Okay, I understand. I'll accept these. I have a business, I wonder if Wei Daban is interested?"
The King of Hell is easy to mess with, and the devil is difficult to deal with. You will definitely encounter all kinds of troubles when opening a store. Although Xinwang's name is good, you can't handle everything with Xinwang's name.
Seeing Wei Zhongxian giving him gifts, Zhu Youjian suddenly realized that it would be better to leave some things to Wei Zhongxian that he could not come forward for. Anyway, Dongchang's reputation was already dark enough, and it was not bad enough.
"Your Highness, if you have something to do, just ask the little one, and those cats and dogs will take care of it for you."
"I'll keep these things. However, I won't take them from you in vain. These stores count as 10% of your Dongchang's shares. I'll give you dividends at the end of the year."
Wei Zhongxian smiled when he heard what he said, and secretly curled his lips in his heart: "I wonder who taught this King Xin? What he said is really true. He has accepted the money and the shop, and he is still promised 10% of the shares, and there will be dividends? Of course, just listen to these words and don’t take them seriously.”
But he said politely: "It depends on what you said. Your Highness King Xin, I would be very grateful to you for accepting this little kindness from me. Don't mention any stocks or dividends, then." It's a slap in the old slave's face. We work for the master, how can you say that." The atmosphere in the scene was very harmonious, and the two of them talked happily. Zhu Youjian also wanted to stay with him for dinner, but Wei Zhongxian refused because he had something to do with the emperor and could not leave.
During this meeting, both of them had something to gain and what they needed.
Zhu Youjian got several stores and a start-up capital.
Wei Zhongxian gained the friendship of King Xin and gained another strong supporter in the palace. In the DPRK, Wei Zhongxian's eunuch power is slowly taking shape.
