Because of Zhang Zhou's "stupidity", Zhu Houzhao was no longer so hostile to him. Even the eunuchs next to him seemed to follow the joys and sorrows of the young master and let go of Zhang Zhou.
Only the one who brought Zhang Zhou up earlier...
From Zhu Houzhao's name, Zhang Zhou also knew that this was the famous eunuch Liu Jin in history. This person had great hostility on his face, and he knew at a glance that today's plan was designed by him.
The plan fell through, and Zhang Zhou was also prejudiced.
In any case, we will have to compete in the future, and it will be the same if we offend early or late.
Zhang Zhou didn't really care.
Now the days when you, Liu Jin, are in glory, are still a little far away, right?
"...I originally thought that when you arrived in the capital, I could have fun with you, but you came here to seek death! It seems that you are not blessed. Even if you have made contributions to the treatment of the emperor's sister, you will not be saved. My appreciation..."
Zhu Houzhao killed Zhang Zhou with a meal.
Zhang Zhou couldn't stand listening and said: "Then the prince doesn't want me to send you some delicious and fun things before he dies?"
"Huh?" Zhu Houzhao became interested as soon as he heard this, "What's delicious and fun?"
Zhang Zhou said: "Although I am a scholar, I have spent the past few years studying how to eat, drink and have fun, and even lost all my family property. However, I have researched many interesting things, although from the perspective of business, most of them are flashy. It’s hard to make a profit. But if you use it as a toy..."
"Say it!"
Zhu Houzhao doesn't like others to show off.
Zhang Zhou pointed to the distance and said, "Can the prince see clearly what is far away outside the window?"
Zhu Houzhao squinted his small eyes and looked over. Then he felt that he was being tricked. He turned back and glared at Zhang Zhou: "It's so far away, how can I see clearly?"
Zhang Zhou said: "I have something there. If you hold it in your hand, you can see clearly things in the distance."
"Who doesn't know how to brag? You should show it!"
"I have just arrived in the capital, and my family has not settled down yet. These things have to be made slowly, but in the next few days, they can be made and sent to the prince." Zhang Zhou said.
It has been almost three months since Zhang Zhou arrived in Ming Dynasty.
In the past three months, he has not only been taking imperial examinations, selling food, and writing scripts. Even if he cannot make many complex industrial items yet, it is not difficult to burn glass and start a side job. He has also been doing Advance.
It’s just that these side businesses have just started and haven’t been industrialized yet.
But if some of the results are used as toys for Zhu Houzhao, there will be no problem at all.
Zhu Houzhao looked disdainful: "I'm going to be beheaded, how can I send it to this palace?"
Zhang Zhou ignored Zhu Houzhao's words and continued: "I also have glass beads here, which are crystal clear and brighter than gems. I also know folk shadow puppetry, and there is a kaleidoscope that can show various colors by turning it in my hand..."
"enough!"
Zhu Houzhao really didn't want to hear it, so he interrupted Zhang Zhou and said, "I can see that you are sincerely coveting me, right? You don't mean to say that if you die, I won't have the chance to see these things. Bar?"
Zhang Zhou continued to laugh without answering, and asked: "Prince, do you still like the scripts that I gave you earlier?"
Zhu Houzhao was angry again.
It's okay if you don't mention this. Once you mention it, I will get very angry.
Which pot won’t be opened?
"Hmph, those crappy books don't have any good stories. I don't care about them at all."
Of course, Zhu Houzhao couldn't say that one of the purposes of coming to see Zhang Zhou today was to get Zhang Zhou to reveal the rest of the script.
You don’t have any face to be a naughty kid?
Especially when he saw Zhang Zhou today, he didn't give him any face as a prince, and he couldn't even lose his face.
Zhang Zhou sighed: "The prince has a broad vision, so he naturally looks down on those tacky stories. But if ordinary people hear these stories, do you think they will be interested in them?"
"Tch! Whether they are interested or not, what does it have to do with me?" Zhu Houzhao sneered at this.
Gu Dayong on the side came out and said in a slightly anxious tone: "Zhang Jieyuan, where are the chapters of those story books?"
Recently, Zhu Houzhao asked them to make up stories, and they all worked hard and racked their brains. Now they finally met the real master. No matter how harsh the prince's words were, they were very honest.
Bring the story and we won’t have that pressure.
The prince wants to save face, but we don’t have to.
Zhang Zhou said: "His Royal Highness, if I open a bookstore, print all these books into volumes and circulate them widely. Do you think anyone will come to buy them?"
"Hey!"
Zhu Houzhao's mood was like a roller coaster, and he suddenly became interested again, "You are quite good at doing business. I think... it may still be profitable."
Zhang Zhou smiled and said: "Since the prince is here, how about the prince and I jointly open a bookstore?"
"ah?"
When Zhang Zhou finished speaking, the eunuchs next to him all looked frightened.
I wonder if this Jiangnan Jieyuan is crazy? How dare you propose to do business in partnership with the prince?
You, a Jieyuan, should not have been exposed to business matters in the market. How embarrassing is that? You actually want to drag the prince with you? It seems like you really think your head is too heavy on your neck.
Zhu Houzhao said flatly: "You are going to move your head in two days. Why do you want me to partner with a ghost?"
Zhang Zhou said: "But if I really told the truth about the palace fire, and I don't have to die, why don't the prince think about it? As far as I know, the prince rarely has an excuse to leave the palace. Your majesty should not know about this trip, right?"
"You...how do you know?" Zhu Houzhao was still a child and couldn't hide things in his heart.
He was defrauded by Zhang Zhouzhou.
It is obvious that the epidemic in the city has not yet ended, how could Zhu Youtang let his son leave the palace?
But why is the security level outside so high... Zhang Zhou immediately said: "Did the Queen ask you to come out?"
Zhu Houzhao twitched his nose twice and said coldly: "You seem to know everything. Do you know that smart people in this world usually don't live long?"
Several eunuchs nearby thought to themselves.
This guy dares to say that Qingning Palace is going to catch fire, but is he still afraid of death?
Zhang Zhou said: "I think that every time the prince leaves the palace, he will not have much money. If he wants to go out of the palace to play in the future, especially when he sneaks out of the palace... Please forgive me for speaking too directly. What did I see then? I want to buy some delicious and fun things... I don’t have any money on hand..."
"That's enough! What on earth do you want to say?" Zhu Houzhao was already feeling itchy at this time.
Zhang Zhou has successfully aroused countless interests in his heart.
To him, Zhang Zhou alone... was interesting enough.
Where have you ever seen such a person?
Zhang Zhou smiled and said: "I don't need the prince's money, I just need to borrow the prince's name. The two of us will open a bookstore together. If the bookstore loses money in the future, it belongs to me alone. If it makes a profit, how about we add two to one and make five?" "
"What does it mean to add two to one to make five?" Zhu Houzhao asked.
Even though this kid is smart enough, in terms of knowledge and humanistic knowledge, he is basically just like a primary school student.
Gao Feng explained: "Your Highness, it means equal sharing."
When Zhu Houzhao heard this, he was very excited and said: "Zhang, you are quite sensible. You don't need me to contribute any money, but you have to share half of my benefits. Hehe, are you short-sighted?"
Zhang Zhou said: "Prince, don't be surprised. In fact, I have calculated that this business can only be profitable if I partner with you, Prince. If I do it on my own or find someone else to partner with... I will definitely lose everything." !”
"hehe."
The prince was quite pleased with this rainbow fart.
Zhang Zhou really wasn't talking nonsense.
This place in the capital is full of powerful people. If a person is a scholar, he may even be a Jinshi in the future. How can he count?
There is a profitable business, so it would be strange if others don't come to make trouble, let alone a project like the publishing industry, which has policy risks in any era... But if there is a prince as a partner, everything will be different.
If you want to do business or do other things in partnership with the prince, if the emperor finds out about it, even if he doesn't skin you and cramps you, he will order you to stop it.
But if Zhu Youtang knew that Zhang Zhoula's son was running a bookstore... this sounds very reliable. It would allow the prince to be exposed to civil affairs and engage in the cultural industry without having to show up in person...
Even if a father is afraid that his child will act up, the problem is that your son has become so misbehaving, don't you, the father, have no idea? Maybe opening a bookstore can help him turn around?
"Okay, if you don't die, I will agree to open a bookstore with you." The meaning of Zhu Houzhao's life now is to have fun.
Now that Zhang Zhou could give him fun, he accepted it without much hesitation.
And with Zhu Houzhao's cleverness... of course he also wanted to take advantage.
How could he understand that Zhang Zhou wanted to use his power and reputation to make money?
Zhang Zhou said: "In this case, as a business partner, His Highness the Crown Prince, it is necessary for me to bring these scripts to the Crown Prince in advance, so that the Crown Prince can provide suggestions and see what is worth deleting."
"Hey hey hey..."
When Zhu Houzhao heard this, he felt good about it.
Originally, for the sake of face, I couldn’t admit that your martial arts book was very good, and I was embarrassed to ask for it.
Now you take the initiative to deliver it to your door...
Children can be taught!
