Chapter 4: Can You
"I, I, can I do it?"
Zhu Youjian murmured to himself.
He had no idea that he would become an emperor before, and it was even more impossible to be taught about the "Emperor's Art". At this time, he suddenly heard Xiao Sheng's interpretation of the "position" of the emperor through a modern perspective completely subverting his understanding.
So I fell into a state of confusion.
Xiao Sheng admitted that he had a little bit of a teacher's habit, and he still felt very happy about teaching a future emperor.
Seeing Zhu Youjian's appearance, he immediately continued, "You can! With me help you, there are so many loyal civil and military officials, and thousands of simple Ming people. You must be able and must be able!"
Zhu Youjian stared at Xiao Sheng in a daze. He had never been believed so by anyone, and no one had ever given him such a great responsibility.
Whose youth is not frivolous?!
Zhu Youjian was also a passionate boy at this time, otherwise he would not have kneeled down to worship Xiao Sheng, the god, and prayed to him to help him save the Ming Dynasty.
He felt a passion burning in his heart when he was given such great trust.
"I can! I can!" he said.
After saying that, he looked at Xiao Sheng with bright eyes and said, "Brother, please tell me in detail how to do it."
Xiao Sheng studied it all morning. The situation in the late Ming Dynasty was complicated, but direct contradictions could still be found.
They are "The Ming Empire and the Jurchens of the Later Jin Dynasty", "The Ming Empire and the Peasant Rebel Army", "The literati bureaucratic group and the common people", and "the emperor and the literati bureaucratic group".
These conflicting subjects are entangled with each other, and they can move the whole body. The final conclusion is to "build the plank road openly and go to the Chencang secretly."
"We need some people, some absolutely loyal people, to join the peasant uprising army to guide Li Zicheng, Zhang Xianzhong and others to where we want them to go, and at the same time, we can restrain them and prevent them from taking action against ordinary people.
These people need to be innocent in their own lives and endure hardships. My idea is to find them among the victims.
The specific approach requires time to think about it, after all, I don’t know much about the situation there.
There is no hurry to do this. When I have time, I will go over and choose the right person with you." Xiao Sheng said.
Zhu Youjian nodded and said, "What are we doing now?"
"Before you ascend the throne, there is too limited things you can do. So the focus of this time is still on my side. First, we need to organize some information together so that we can use it directly in the future.
Furthermore, I need you to help me accumulate more wealth, that is, to help me get something, I sell it in exchange for funds. After all, the more wealth I have, the more things I can do.” Xiao Sheng said.
As a vassal king, Zhu Youjian was too limited. Now he is still in the imperial city and needs to be more cautious.
After arguing that he would chat to the evening, Zhu Youjian returned to the Ming Dynasty, while Xiao Sheng took a taxi to Qinghe City with a box containing 50-year-old ginseng.
Zhonghetang is a time-honored brand that has been passed down for more than 200 years, and its reputation is very guaranteed in Qinghe City.
Xiao Sheng had bought two medicines here before. It cannot be said that the medicine will cure the disease. At least it will be completely cured in one week and there will be no sequelae.
Xiao Sheng first asked if he would take the medicinal materials here. After confirming that the medicinal materials were collected, he took out the box from his backpack.
The clerk is also knowledgeable. When he saw this wooden box, he was sure that this person had something good in his hands.
The box is made of rosewood and has a faint fragrance. Just this box is not cheap, at least seven or eight thousand.
So, after taking a look at the things in the box, he immediately took Xiao Sheng to the reception room aside and smiled and said, "Sir, please wait a moment, I'll invite the appraiser."
Xiao Sheng nodded and watched him leave, feeling a little expectant.
According to the traditional urban cool storyline, an old man and his granddaughter will appear next, and then the old man becomes a friend of his age because of this ginseng. The old man's granddaughter becomes curious about him, and then gradually becomes addicted to become his own woman.
However, Xiao Sheng was soon disappointed.
The only one who followed the clerk came out was an old lady, wearing gold-wire round glasses, a simple purple jacket, and white gloves on her hands.
The old man was calm and looked like the old lady from an ancient wealthy family.
"This is our chief medicinal material appraiser of Zhonghetang, a nationally certified special appraiser, and also a professor and professor of the School of Medicine. "
"Professor Fu, this gentleman has a ginseng plant for sale. Please do an appraisal!"
The clerk introduced the two of them separately, and Xiao Sheng quickly handed the sandalwood box forward.
The clerk took the box and put it on the table to open it. Professor Fu bent down, held his eyes with his right hand, and looked at it carefully for about two minutes.
"Yes, good thing. This should be an authentic wild ginseng that has just been unearthed for a short time. It has been up to 60 years. It has a very good quality and is preserved intact. This medicinal material can be collected.
Young man, what price do you want to buy it?" Professor Fu had a warm smile on his face, like a kind and kind old lady.
Xiao Sheng checked the relevant price information before coming, but most of the ginseng is circulating in the market in the market with average quality and less information.
There is a ginseng plant that is about 60 years old on the Internet, which looks not a complete wild species.
But at least it was the small wild ginseng planted by the reform. At that time, someone else might have dug it too small, so it moved to a controlled area to grow. It was sold for more than 300,000 a few years ago.
Xiao Sheng heard Professor Fu say just now that this ginseng plant is intact, and the price of ginseng has continued to rise in recent years. His bottom price is about 500,000, and the lowest is 400,000.
But he did not make a quote directly, but smiled and said, "Professor Fu, what price do you think it is worth? If you offer a price, if I think it is OK, there are still a few plants with similar quality in your hand, all of which are all from you."
"Oh? The young man is very wild. There is more than this kind of good thing." Professor Fu smiled.
Xiao Sheng smiled shyly and said, "Haha, I'm lucky and happened to meet a bunch of people."
I believe you!
Professor Fu gave Xiao Sheng a blank look and said with a smile: "Your ginseng is indeed of good quality. If it is sold in a large auction house, the price should be a little higher.
But the purchase price in our pharmacy is definitely not as good as the auction outside, so we can accept it for 500,000."
It is completely in line with psychological expectations. Although she knows that the other party may make greater profits, Xiao Sheng is already very content.
So he nodded and said, "Okay, that's about 500,000."
Professor Fu covered the box and said to Xiao Sheng: "You can wait here for a while."
Then he turned to look at the clerk and said, "Xiao Song, go and find Secretary Chen to come over, and ask Mr. Li to come."
Xiao Sheng was confused when he heard this. He saw that he had to sign a contract like this. Shouldn’t he just send me money and then hand over the money and deliver the goods in the same way?
It seemed that he had seen something, Professor Fu took the initiative to explain: "Don't worry, 500,000 is given to you in real terms, and we will pay 3% of the tax for you."
A formal large enterprise is indeed different. It not only requires signing a contract, but also paying taxes.
Immediately afterwards, Xiao Sheng met Mr. Li in a black Zhongshan suit and Secretary Chen in a gray suit. Both of them were men. The former looked fifty years old, while the latter was in his thirties.
Li Mingkai reached out and shook Xiao Sheng, and smiled and said, "I heard that Mr. Xiao still has inventory. Welcome to our Zhonghetang again. The price will definitely not cause you a loss."
"Of course, it must be, the cooperation is pleasant!" Xiao Sheng tried his best to act calmly.
Chapter completed!
