Chapter 45: Misappropriation of money~~)

Because Keshi was suddenly taken to the washing machine and then committed suicide, the entire capital seemed to be frightened.

Both the palace and the court are unprecedentedly calm.

In a blink of an eye, it took more than a month. Zhu Youxiao was lying on the hospital bed for more than half a month because of Ke Shi's death. Although he recovered, his mental state was extremely poor. He had no intention of handling government affairs or carving. The most common thing he did was to stay in the imperial study room and stare blankly.

In the court, Grand Secretary Ye, who had already written a letter to return to the field, did not leave in the end, and now he is trying hard to control the court.

However, Zhu Youxiao has not done anything these days. He pardoned everyone involved in the case of Keshi and Wei Zhongxian except Wei Zhongxian. Although there were opposition in the court, this time, with Zhu Youxiao's insistence, it was finally passed.

Zhu Xu lacked the time to communicate in the imperial study room. Every day, except for going to Kunning Palace to chat with Queen Zhang for a while, the rest of the time is his.

The courtyard in the east of the city.

In Zhu Xu's mouth, it is called a workshop.

"Your Highness, we are not able to make ends meet now. If we continue like this, the young will not be able to hold on." Li Deyong complained with a bitter face and followed Zhu Xu.

Zhu Xu wore exquisite trousers with short patterns and hand behind her back, and smiled: "If someone else sells a piece of paper, you can also sell a piece of paper. The market is so big, it's almost done. It's good that you can keep it from losing money."

Seeing that Zhu Xu had no intention of asking for guilt, Li Deyong breathed a sigh of relief, but he still said with a bitter taste: "Your Highness, this is really not enough to continue like this. You can only last for three days at most."

Zhu Xu took Li Deyong's record book casually, looked through the progress, and nodded from time to time. Li Deyong did his best, had good abilities and was very smart.

Zhu Xu looked at it and asked, "Old Cao, how much money do we have?"

Cao Wenzhao had many part-time jobs, one of them was the butler of Jing Huan Palace. Hearing this, he quickly said: "There are less than 50,000 taels in total."

"Fifty thousand taels should be able to last more than a month."

Zhu Xu thought silently and said, pondering, and then said, "It seems that some things need to be done in advance."

Li Deyong didn't care about 50,000 taels, but about what else did His Highness Hui do. ​​He followed him to do things, without beating and scolding, was free and freehand, and he still had a lot of money. But his current errands were almost over.

"Your Highness, what are we going to do?" Li Deyong asked.

Zhu Xu put the record book together, handed it to him, and smiled and said, "It's done well. From today on, all steamed buns, doughs, snacks, biscuits, etc. will be 10% off, 20% off, 20% off, 20% off, 50% off in one month!"

Li Deyong opened his eyes wide and looked at Zhu Xu with surprise and said, "Your Highness, rice and flour are very expensive now. If we lower the price, we will lose a lot."

Zhu Xu looked at him and said, "I don't need you to guarantee you to make money. What I need is the market. In a month, if people in the capital buy steamed buns and snacks from us, I will be happy. Don't worry, in a month, I will provide you with new materials. You just need to be responsible for selling the things."

Li Deyong immediately thought of many possibilities, such as the moldy rice and flour of the Ministry of Revenue, and someone bribed His Highness Hui with rice and flour, or even the "stolen goods" in the palace.

But Li Deyong didn't have to care about these at all. I don't know how much the palace has done, and I immediately said with sincerity, "Don't worry, your highness, I'll let them do their best immediately."

Zhu Xu nodded with a smile, walked around again, and then left the workshop.

"Your Highness, what are our plans next?"

Cao Wenzhao drove the car and turned around and asked Zhu Xu inside the carriage.

Zhu Xu leaned on Xiangbi, squinted his eyes, and smiled like a little fox stealing a chicken, saying, "Of course, it is the most powerful plan to make money."

“Catch money?”

Cao Wenzhao looked confused, and he didn't know what Zhu Xu was thinking.

As soon as Zhu Xu returned to the palace, he said to Cao Huachun, "Little Cao, let the one who has seen Zhou Jianyu come to see me."

Seeing Zhu Xu's face was anxious, Cao Huachun couldn't help but quickly said, "It's Your Highness."

Soon, Feng Zhu ran over and said in front of Zhu Xu with a flattering look on his face, "I have seen Your Highness. If your Highness has any instructions, I will do my best to get it for you." He was naturally very happy. Zhu Xu rewarded him with no penny of the silver notes given by Zhou Jianyu last time.

"Come here, memorize the ones in this booklet, understand, and ask me if you don't understand."

Zhu Xu threw him a booklet, sat on his recliner, poured himself a cup of tea and ignored Feng Zhu.

Not talking about Feng Zhu, Cao Wenzhao Cao Huachun was also stunned, not knowing when Zhu Xu wrote what he wrote.

Feng Zhu was just stunned for a moment and hurriedly said, "It's Your Highness."

He also came from the Nei Shutang and taught them all Hanlin. According to his knowledge, it would be fine to get a juren.

But after reading what Zhu Xu wrote, he was stunned for a moment.

After a long time, he said tremblingly, "Your Highness, do you want to open a money house?"

After Feng Zhu's words fell, Cao Huachun and Cao Wenzhao were also stunned and looked at Zhu Xu in surprise.

The salary of the royal family in the Ming Dynasty was actually not enough for a family to eat. There were all kinds of ways to make money. It was quite good for those who wanted to do some business, but they never used it to open a money house!

Because opening a money shop in this era requires credibility. This kind of credibility does not mean that if you are a vassal king, others believe you. If you deposit money with you, it is often more than ten or twenty years of credibility, so others will believe it.

Therefore, when a money bank is opened, it will be truly long-lasting and profitable. It has been decades of credibility, and suddenly it appears, and no one will believe it.

Most of the money is saved at this time for convenience or safety, because not only does not have interest, but also charges a storage fee.

Zhu Xu drank the hot tea and became much more energetic. He looked at the three of them and smiled, saying, "Not bad."

Seeing that the three of them were about to speak, they waved their hands and said, "Okay, I probably know your ideas. I will deal with them. Feng Zhu, I will give you three days to memorize them. If you don't understand, come and ask me. I want you to be a melodraft, don't mess it up."

Feng Zhu looked at Cao Huachun with a hesitation, then had to agree, bowing and saying, "It's Your Highness."

Zhu Xu waved his hand. After he went down, Zhu Xu looked at Cao Wenzhao and said, "Old Cao, you prepare. In three days, I will go to my uncle's place."

Cao Wenzhao knew as soon as he heard this that Zhu Xu went for Bi Maokang. He was also very curious. Is the flintlock rifle in His Highness's mouth so powerful?

"It's Your Highness," Cao Wenzhao agreed, glanced at Cao Huachun and said, "Your Highness, are we going to take a look at the foot of the mountain?"
