Zhu Xiongying exchanged what he needed and followed Lan Yu towards the lobby.
Zhu Xiongying sat directly on the main seat, and Lan Yu sat at the bottom.
The servant quickly brought tea, and Zhu Xiongying drank it without ceremony.
Lan Yu stopped drinking at this time. He was injured and couldn't drink.
After finishing the drink, Zhu Xiongying looked at Lan Yu and said,
"Sapphire!"
"The general is here!" When Lan Yu heard Zhu Xiongying's address, she knew that Zhu Xiongying had something serious to discuss, and she quickly said sternly, clasping her fists.
"This time I came to see you for business, but it's not business either!"
"It can only be regarded as a private matter in private!" Zhu Xiongying said.
"Your Highness, please speak!" Lan Yu said.
"There should be a shop in your house, right?" Zhu Xiongying asked.
"Your Highness, we have this!" Lan Yu said without hesitation.
In this regard, Zhu Xiongying felt that Lan Yu was much more decisive than Chang Sheng, and he was also much easier to talk to.
"Well, I also want to open some shops!" Zhu Xiongying said.
"Your Highness, please give me your instructions!" Lan Yu said directly.
"We don't understand these either. We leave them all to the servants and the wives at home!"
"Yeah!" Zhu Xiongying nodded and said,
"Although you say you don't care about this, I understand whether it's the imperial court or you nobles!"
"Basically, you all have your own shops. Although the land is basic, you haven't given up on the shops!"
"But in my opinion, the most profitable thing is the problem of shops!"
"Ah? Yes!" Lan Yu said directly.
But looking at him like this, it was obvious that he didn't understand.
But he was just echoing Zhu Xiongying’s words. This guy is really...
Zhu Xiongying also smiled helplessly and said,
"Okay, since you don't understand either, let me tell you something!"
"Your Highness's order!" Lan Yu said.
"I'm going to get salt. I have a technology here that can extract salt."
"The extraction method and yield of this kind of salt are much improved than before!"
"I need shops, craftsmen, salt drying fields by the sea, and various mines!" Zhu Xiongying said.
"Don't worry, Your Highness, leave this to me!" Lan Yu said, patting her chest.
"Well, I originally wanted to leave it to you!" Zhu Xiongying said.
"I know, you don't quite understand this matter yourself! You don't understand what's inside!"
"But it doesn't matter. If you don't understand, leave it to those who do!"
"Since your family's property is handed over to your mother-in-law, then this matter should also be left to them!"
"Whatever you need, just come forward and help yourself!"
"We need to buy mines and find places to dry salt on the beach!"
"It doesn't matter if it's a poisonous salt mine, this one is even better, and it's cheaper to buy back!"
"Yes, Your Highness!" Lan Yu agreed directly.
"Well, just remember this!"
"You have finished the preliminary preparations. Come to me when everything is in place!"
"I'll leave the technical stuff to you, and then just use this method to buy it!"
"Also, after making the salt, just contact the court!"
"Give the salt to the court!" Zhu Xiongying said.
"Don't worry, Your Highness, the general will understand that we are also doing business for the imperial court!" Lan Yu assured her, patting her chest.
"What are you doing for the court? This is for me!" Zhu Xiongying said angrily.
"Ah? Your Highness, doesn't this court belong to you?" Lan Yu didn't understand.
"Hey, the money sold to the court came from the state treasury, but the money given to us came from my own treasury!" Zhu Xiongying explained.
"Isn't this all yours, Your Highness? Isn't this the left-hand to right-hand thing?" Lan Yu asked.
"Okay, it's not easy to explain to you, just remember this!" Zhu Xiongying said.
"Just tell me when it's done!"
The current situation is indeed somewhat unnecessary.
At this time, although there is also a distinction between the national treasury and the internal treasury.
But whether it is Lao Zhu or Zhu Xiongying himself, it can be said that the decision was made with one word.
Whether you use the national treasury or your own internal treasury, you have the final say.
Sometimes, there is mutual exchange between the two.
However, although this is the case now, it may not always be the case.
In the future, things will become more and more formal, so it’s better to make a clear distinction from now on.
"Yes, Your Highness!"
"Also, give as much as you should. I would rather give more than less!"
"Gu is doing this. Don't discredit Gu, don't use your power to bully others, do you understand?" Zhu Xiongying explained again.
This guy has a lot of criminal records, and Zhu Xiongying really can't be completely relieved.
"Don't worry, Your Highness, the scars on our bodies are still there, and we will definitely remember them!" Lan Yu assured.
"What? Then you won't remember it from now on?" Zhu Xiongying said with a smile.
"Hehe, that's not possible, I will definitely remember it!" Lan Yu said with an embarrassed smile.
"Okay, I can tell you this is definitely profitable!"
"Don't take it seriously, don't be fooled, keep an eye on yourself!" Zhu Xiongying said.
"Your Highness, we understand!" Lan Yu said.
"Just understand!" Zhu Xiongying said, then looked at him and said,
"Then I'll give you 30% of this property, give you 10%, and leave the rest alone. Is that okay?"
"No problem, we will do whatever His Highness says!" Lan Yu assured.
"Hahaha!" Zhu Xiongying laughed,
"Okay, I can't just see you today, I have other people I want to see too!"
"You should have a good rest. When you are well, come back to the army!" Zhu Xiongying said.
"Yes, Your Highness!" Lan Yu said.
"By the way, how did the people who asked you to count the statistics go?" Zhu Xiongying suddenly asked.
"Your Highness, we have already counted half of them, and we will be almost there in a few days!" Lan Yu said.
"That's good, I'm leaving, you can rest by yourself!"
With that said, Zhu Xiongying left the Lan Mansion directly and headed towards the other Dingyuan Marquis Mansion.
Here, Zhu Xiongying once again gave them a task, which was to open a soap store.
You can still make soap yourself, you don’t have to learn it yourself.
It only takes a few experiments and you can figure it out. You have already studied chemistry.
After coming out from his side, Zhu Xiongying came to Cao Zhen's house again, still talked to them, and finally handed them over to the operation of distilling liquor.
After coming out of his side, Zhu Xiongying took another portion of chili peppers, as well as cumin, Sichuan peppercorns, etc., and seeds for condiments.
There was also a recipe given to them.
After keeping these, it was left to Zhang Yi to let them go into the catering industry.
At present, Zhu Xiongying has only found a few companies, which can be regarded as the beginning of making money for himself.
In the future, when you become richer here, it won't be too late to get other things.
This is enough for now.
And it just so happens that we can just let them do this while there is no war at the moment.
After finishing his work, Zhu Xiongying returned towards the palace.
"Brother, you are so awesome!" Zhu Yunxi looked at Zhu Xiongying with admiration and said.
"Hahaha, you kid!" Zhu Xiongying touched Zhu Yunxi's head and said,
"I'm only here once. If nothing happens after that, I won't come!"
"From now on, I'll leave all this to you. Don't mess with me, you know?"
"Don't worry, brother, I will watch carefully and learn from you!" Zhu Yunxi also promised.
"Well, that's good!" Zhu Xiongying smiled.
"Well, if you have any questions in the future, you can come to me at any time. If you can't find me and don't want to go to Wuying Palace, you can write it down for me and put it in my bedroom!"
"If I have nothing to do, I will teach you!" Zhu Xiongying said.
"Don't worry, brother, I will do it!" Zhu Yunxi was very happy.
"Okay, let's go, go back!" Zhu Xiongying said.
"Well, when I make money in the future, I can buy gifts for my two sisters!" Zhu Yunxi said longingly.
"Haha, okay, Yunxi has grown up, and I also need to prepare a dowry for my sister and the others!" Zhu Xiongying also started thinking.
"Hey, brother, are you getting married soon?" Zhu Yunxi asked with a smirk.
"Hahaha, brat, you're almost here too!" Zhu Xiongying also laughed...
